Work will resume on plans for new community center

Cunningham won’t run for mayor BY STEVE DREYER City Councilman Jim Cunningham said Tuesday he will not run for mayor next year. One year into his second four-year term, Cunningham said running against Mayor Don Higginson at the same time Councilmen John Mullin and Dave Grosch will likely be running for re-election, plus the fact that the council will be hiring a new city manager in the spring, “would cause great chaos and confusion in our city.” “This is not why I became involved in local politics,” Cunningham wrote in a prepared statement released Cunningham T u e s d a y morning, “I came to help and facilitate our citizens’ great ideas, not to cause chaos in a time when we need stability. Ego is not now, nor should it ever be, a reason to advance one’s own political career. Whether you can bring added value to your city is the only determining factor SEE MAYOR, Page A14

BY STEVE DREYER Planning has been put back on track for a proposed new community/senior center in Community Park. City Council members made it clear during a Tuesday night workshop session that they’d like to proceed with the long-delayed project and authorized staff to have the project designer complete schematic plans and elevation drawings of the 30,000-square-foot center. “Full steam ahead” is how Councilman Jim Cunningham put it following a council briefing on the project’s status. Left undecided were questions relating to how the center, estimated to cost about $10 million to $12 million, will be financed and how current programs and activities at the Poway Senior Center and Community Auditorium will be accommodated if and when construction is approved. Both issues are The 78-foot tree of lights will be shining every night through Dec. 31. expected to be addressed next year. The idea of a new center was incorporated into larger overall “Town Center” plans that were developed between 2006 and 2011, then set aside once the economy slowed and the state shut down the city’s redevelopment agency. Progress-to-date plans shown Tuesday night call for two new buildings that would replace the current senior and community centers. One would contain offices, classrooms and BY EMILY SORENSEN a “senior lounge” while the other would include a banquet If you’ve looked up at night during the Christmas season and room, multi-purpose activity room and commercial kitchen.

Local history experts trying to authenticate mud wagon BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardo Historical Society has obtained a mud wagon that might have traversed local trails from 1887 to 1910. The wagon needs extensive restoration. What form that takes will be decided by the society’s board after volunteers complete research to confirm its authenticity. Leading the effort are Tom Cook on the research and verification side, and Richard Thorpe on the restoration side. Cook said he has known about the wagon for 15 to 20 years since the late Dan Winne used it in parades, battle reenactments, Old Town displays and Hollywood movies. For six months in 2009 it was loaned to the Rancho Bernardo Historical Society Museum. Cook said the group bought it from Winne’s widow for $5,000 in October. It is displayed in a covered outdoor area adjacent to the museum. Once restored it will be displayed inside. Cook said the group suspects the wagon is authentic and not a replica because

Winne said when he purchased it from Gracie Cox in Valley Center it had a metal plate bearing a serial number. However, when he had it restored — the wagon had been in Cox’s yard and needed lots of work — the plate was lost. In addition, the front axel has the number 40 branded in its wood. “We believe it is part of a production run by the Abbott-Downing Company of Concord, N.H. that made that style of wagon,” Cook said. “It was possibly built in 1860 and possibly used in the Civil War by the Union Army.” To obtain proof, Cook said volunteers are comparing the wagon to those in photographs of wagons used along the Old Mission-Kearny Stage Road and the Historic Inland Trail to transport passengers, cargo and local mail. They are also comparing it to a mud wagon displayed at the San Diego Histor y Center in Balboa Park, archival records in the Pioneer Room at the Escondido Library, plus photos and documents at local history museums including Poway. “We need hard proof,” Cook said before the wagon is de-

Rancho Bernardo Historical Society board member Tom Cook next to the mud wagon the group is trying to authenticate. Photo by Elizabeth Marie Himchak clared authentic. “If it is the real deal we’d be euphoric,” he said, adding even if the wagon cannot be authenticated, the group will be happy to display a wagon reflecting those used in the area. Cook said the mule-drawn

vehicle was called a mud wagon because the six to eight passengers got dusty due to its open sides. It was built lighter and smaller than stagecoaches in order to get around trails’ many curves over rugged terrain.

Cook said the wagon’s bottom half, including its frame and wheels “feel very authentic,” but its upper half needs a lot of restoration since it was “Hollywood-ed, so to speak.” To use it in parades and other events, previous

owners turned it into “a show wagon. Liberties were taken, like small headlights were put in, required for transportation laws.” It was also partially closed up to appear heavier when used in movies. Thorpe, a Poway resident who moved from the Washington, D.C., area a year ago, said he helped restore a grist mill there and is now helping the San Diego Maritime Museum build a replica of the San Salvador. It looks like the ship Juan Cabrillo sailed into San Diego Bay in 1542. “We’re going to have to clean up the (wagon’s) undercarriage,” Thorpe said, explaining some wood needs to be replaced. He also said some metal work is needed that includes getting rid of the modern welding, replacing it with forged welding. “The carriage part is peeling pretty bad and the plywood needs to be replaced,” he said, explaining a century ago plywood did not exist. “It may not need any paneling, just hoops with canvas over the top that drops over the side.” This will See WAGON, Page A18

DR. CAMILLE HENNINGER

There’s still time to register for one of the Poway Adult School’s many winter classes. The winter quarter officially begins on Wednesday, Jan. 8 and continues through April 4 for those interested in learning how to bind books, cook, or wanting to brush up on office skills. Poway Adult School is offering some new and exciting classes this quarter, in addition to their already wide variety of academic, life skills, dancing, cooking, language and computer classes. Looking to make someone a special, handmade gift? Poway Adult School is offering two “Art of Books” classes, where you can learn to create your own personal journal, and learn the basics of bookbinding. Each class is two Saturdays long and costs $89, which includes some supplies, with other supplies required to be purchased. “Your Personal Journal” is Jan. 25 and Feb. 1, while “Accordion Book” is Feb. 8 and Feb. 15. If you’d like to learn about quilting, then maybe “Quick and Easy Quilting,” a novice quilting class where you can learn to basic piecing, applique and strip quilting techniques, is right for you. Students supply fabrics, batting and tools. Cost is $99 for five classes, Tuesday from Jan. 28 through March 4. There’s three new Family History Research classes this quarter. Learn to use the Internet in your searches, how to discover your family’s story, and how one particular family history website has changed recently. Class costs and lengths vary. If you want to brush up on your computer skills, two new classes on Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft PowerPoint are being offered this quarter. In “Microsoft Excel 2010: Beginning to Advanced in 8 Hours,” spend four weeks learning the ins and outs,

as well as tips and tricks, for successfully using Microsoft Excel 2010 in your business and personal life. In “Microsoft PowerPoint: Beginning to Advanced in 8 Hours,” spend four weeks learning how to make successful presentations. Both classes require basic Windows skills and cost $69 each. If it’s cooking you’re after, enjoy one of the many cooking classes on offer this winter, like “Cookies: the Best of the Best,” “Colorful Roasted Vegetables,” “Creole Cooking,” “Everything’s Better With Bacon,” “Heavenly Coffee Cakes,” “More Mother Sauces: Espagnole and Tomato Sauce,” “Old School Italian Cooking” and many more. There is also a basic cooking class, “Getting Started in the Kitchen,” which focuses on knife skills, making soup from scratch, fresh salsa and chocolate chip cookies, and much more. This three-week class requires a good cutting knife, an apron and three kitchen towels, and costs $115. Hoping to stick to that New Year’s resolution and get in shape? The Poway Adult School offers a variety of dance and fitness classes. A four-week introduction to Rumba/ Bolero class is being offered, with no partner required. The dances are described as “slow and easy.” If you want fitness classes, there are new classes available in Ballet Barre Workout, Meditative Gentle Yoga, Tai Chi and Zumba. Costs and class times vary by class. Classes are open to anyone 18 and older (unless otherwise said) who lives in the Poway Unified School District. Registration can be done online, by phone at 858-668-4024, by fax at 858-513-0548, by mail, and in person at 13626 Twin Peaks Road, Poway.

MY TOWN/BOB EMERY

More Poway Road memories, and a real concern

few weeks ago, I wrote a piece about former businesses that used to be along Poway Road and what those buildings house today. The response from readers was so tremendous that I did another column two weeks later that included omissions that I hadn’t even thought of and corrections from other “Old Timers” who remember way back when. It’s been a lot of fun reconstructing “old” Poway Road prior to incorporation and beyond. People are still writing and stopping me in stores with ideas for another column. But, the best was yet to come. Derrick Garbell got so wrapped up in the subject that he created a Web page which he called “Emery’s Memories.” Derrick created a spread sheet that lists the addresses on Poway Road and then gives the present use and the various past uses. It’s great. He has even included old pictures of Poway Road, one where the palm trees are about three feet high. To access Derrick’s page just type in http://

poway.garbell.com. Derrick would love to hear about other Poway Road spots and information so go online and drop him a line. Longtime resident and former City Councilwoman Mary Shepardson has also been a great help placing the right names on the right buildings from the past. I have always been a great supporter of Councilmember Jim Cunningham, I endorsed him when he ran for the seat I vacated in 2008 and when he ran for re-election in 2012. He has been a great asset for Poway and contributed much to the quality of life we hold so dear for our community. However, I must take issue with his latest foray into media hype and “hoorah” for Poway. Last week’s News Chieftain carried a front page picture of Jim and his wife, Chris, standing atop a county landmark known as “Potato Chip Rock.” The article extols the merits of hiking Poway trails including the Mt. Woodson trail from Lake Poway to the top of Mt.

Woodson including a stop at what is becoming the infamous “Potato Chip Rock,” a slab of granite that is, geologically speaking, a sliver of rock that could break off tomorrow or in 2050. Here are the problems: The article states that “Mt. Woodson’s Potato Chip Rock in Poway is one of 11 amazing places you need to visit in your lifetime.” That’s fine except that Potato Chip Rock is not in Poway. The land is owned by the City of San Diego and it is under the political jurisdiction of the County of San Diego. It is recognized that the draw of Potato Chip is countywide and more, and that it is a potential hazard much like the Cedar Creek Falls near Ramona. The falls became so popular and overrun that they had to be closed because of accidents and liability. They have since been reopened with U.S. Forest Service surveillance and parking restrictions. Potato Chip Rock is not in Poway, but it is being touted by Councilmember Cunningham

as a Poway destination on Poway maintained trails and it is being pronounced safe by that same individual. Potato Chip Rock has great potential liability for injury and even death. The City of Poway should not be placed in a position where its responsibility for an area outside its jurisdiction puts it in potential jeopardy. When the first accident happens the lawyers are going to first look to who invites people to visit the rock. Potato Chip Rock has been the bane of existence for rangers and reserve rangers at Lake Poway. Hikers stay until way beyond the lake’s closing time causing rangers to wait before closing the park. Reserve rangers have many times had to assist those who are not prepared for the 7-plus mile hike. Jurisdictional responsibilities and liabilities should be clearly defined before touting this “amazing” hiking destination outside of Poway.

Don’t be in such a rush

s the world’s economy gathers steam, there’s been a huge upsurge in Internet activity. Estimates of 23.6 billion Web pages (Google) spread over 148 million websites (WhoIs) vie for attention. This makes sense, given a website’s ability to promote a business or a cause quickly, inexpensively and effectively. Such volume also guarantees a percentage of sites that are ugly, poorly written or provide bad customer experiences. Each is subjective; poorly written for me may be Shakespeare for you. However, visitor reactions to incomplete pages shouldn’t be underestimated. For instance, I’m giving my bride a body massage as a holiday gift and casually met a provider’s general manager. Then I visited her website and found blank pages. Emails and calls went unanswered. Sensing anyone so unable to communicate probably won’t be in business very long, I chose to buy elsewhere. After all, unless

Rob Weinberg ASK MR. MARKETING cashed in immediately (over which I would have no control), my gift certificate was useless if the salon vanished. So...what about your website? If you have live pages that say “Under Construction,” it sends a message of incomplete, incompetent, or too busy to tend to details. Each is bad news. Websites are critical today for providing organizational credibility. Most customers know all about you before contacting you to do business. Do you really want that all-important first impression to be blank pages? Websites also tend to have their own lifecycle, and are never really finished. So if you’re

rushing to build a new site, consider doing the following: After buying your domain, post a landing page so visitors have basic information about your organization and message. Map out good site flow to maximize visitor experiences. Make it easy for someone to get your message and spend money with you. Have professionals write and design the site. Ugly sites and bad messaging chase people away. It doesn’t matter if you believe it: it’s true! Only upload complete pages. Visitors are increasingly impatient about bad website experiences. Good websites are effective, profitable sales tools that level the global playing field with the big guys. Bad website experiences will prompt prospective customer to click that mouse and say “Next!” With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Mr. Marketing can improve your website.

COUNCIL

Continued from PAGE A1 The project has been named “The Michael P. Cafagna Senior Center and Community Facility,” in honor of former Mayor “Mickey” Cafagna. City staffers have been referring to it as “The Cafagna Center.” Council comments were mostly positive, although both John Mullin and Steve Vaus said they thought the exterior design was a little too “industrial” and suggested the designer soften the look to better reflect Poway’s atmosphere. Completion of the plans will cost about $25,000, City Manager Penny Riley said. The money has already been budgeted, she said. Meeting for nearly four hours Tuesday night, the council also: • Approved revised plans for a slightly smaller Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse on 11.5 acres on the north side of Poway Road, east of Midland Road. A company spokesman said demolition of buildings related to two former car dealers on the site will begin next month. • Referred back to the Traffic Safety Committee a proposal to install all-way stop signs

at Martincoit and Stone Canyon roads. Several residents spoke both in favor and against the idea. Council members said they needed more information before making a decision and directed city staff to conduct a more-thorough survey of traffic conditions in the area. • Approved plans submitted by General Atomics to build a private recreation center on 20 vacant acres it owns at 14130 Kirkham Way. The plans include two lighted softball fields, a lighted soccer field, gym, locker room and swimming pool. Council members praised the project as a good way to attract and retain the company’s 4,000-plus employees. • Approved a proposal to change the landuse designation at 13250 Kirkham Way to allow the property to be used as a contractor’s office with outdoor storage. • Heard a presentation by the Metropolitan Transit System regarding proposed bus route changes impacting the Poway area that may take effect in mid-2014. • Elected Councilman David Grosch to serve as deputy mayor in 2014.

TREE

Continued from PAGE A1 The City of Poway is even rewarding Farley for his 25 years of offering a beautiful Christmas gift to the city by presenting the Farley family and friends with an award from the mayor at the Dec. 3 city council meeting. “It’s for fun, goofing off,” said Farley, a construction manager. “It really is.” After 25 years of experimentation and practice, putting up the tree is practically down to a science. The “tree” is made up of a 78-foot central post, with a shorter post used for raising the main post. Farley said he begins putting up the main supports, which he stores during the year in a lower section of his property, in mid-October. “I do work here and there,” said Farley. The day after Thanksgiving, Farley and some family friends spend about three hours changing the bulbs in the nearly 2,000 lights that make up the tree. Each year, the tree has a unique pattern of lights, all designed by Farley, until this year. This year’s design is courtesy of Farley’s sister-in-law. At a total of 1,996 lights, the tree has only four less lights than SeaWorld during the holidays, said Farley. Though the tree is now a beloved Poway Christmas tradition, it had humble beginnings. When the Farleys moved to Poway 25 years ago, Farley put a pipe on the roof of his house and strung lights from it. “I said, ‘Hey, that’s cool,’” said Farley. The following year, he made the pipe longer.

TOM FARLEY The tree didn’t relocate to its current location on the ground next to the Farley’s house until year five, when it blew down off the roof. It has taken up the bare patch of Earth ever since, growing larger and changing over the years. Its current height of 78 feet is the height at which it will stay, said Farley. “About five years ago, [the tree] was 83 feet tall and blew down. It kind of looked too big and gaudy, like some commercial person had done it.” Farley said that experimenting over the years with the lights has taught him a lot about the light color wheel, including discovering how to

make red and green not look yellow from a distance. “City Hall sees a different tree than we do [up close],” said Farley. “It’s definitely been a learning experience.” After a final, flashing light show at midnight on New Year’s Eve, the tree will go dark for another year, with Farley dismantling it over the following week. While most people will spot the tree in the evening, early birds can also see it between 4:30 a.m. and sunrise, a gift to those who have early commutes, and wake up early to feed horses. The tree is a huge draw to the families who live around the Farleys’ property. “Families come up on the equestrian trail from Sabre Springs,” said Farley. “One year, they brought us cookies and sang carols.” The tree is visible for miles throughout Poway, Sabre Springs and parts of Scripps Ranch. A good vantage point for viewing the tree is the parking lot of Creekside Elementary School, which lies below the Farley’s property, said Farley.

in deciding whether you should run for office. “I have made a decision that, although will distress my friends and good-intentioned supporters, is the right decision for Poway. Absent a significant compelling need, I will not be running for mayor of Poway in 2014.” Poway voters will elect a mayor and two councilmembers next November. While Cunningham is the first to announce his plans, Higginson, Grosch and Mullin are all expected to seek re-election. Of a possible mayoral candidacy, Councilman Steve Vaus, one year into his first term, said Tuesday “I will be giving it serious consideration in the new year.”

Cheap or free Internet access at home There are a number of companies that offer low-cost or free home Internet services, but what’s available to you will depend on where you live and your financial situation. Here are some options to check into. Free Internet If you are a light Internet user and you live in their service area, free high-speed Internet is now available through the telecom company FreedomPop. Just go to freedompop.com and type in your address to find out if they serve your location. If they do, you’ll need to buy the $89 Freedom Hub Burst home modem that allows you to access the Internet. You simply plug it in and you’re ready to go. FreedomPop is a non-contract service that provides 1 gigabyte (GB) of data per month for free, which is adequate for sending and receiving emails and surfing the Web. If, however, you want more data for things like watching Internet videos or sharing photos you can pay $10/month for 5 GB or $18/month for 10 GB. Cheap Internet If FreedomPop is not available in your area, there are other providers that offer high-speed Internet at a low cost. For example, NetZero (netzero.net, 800-638-9376) and Juno (juno.com, 888-213-9093) now have DSL plans for only $10 per month for the first six months with no data restrictions, provided you live in their service areas and you have a home phone line. After six months the price jumps up to $18 per

Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR month. To sear ch for other high-speed Internet service providers in your area, see ispprovidersinmyarea.com. Another strategy to get cheaper highspeed Internet is to combine, or bundle it together with your TV and/or phone service. Check with the television and phone providers in your area to see what types of bundle packages they offer. If, however, you can’t find a high-speed service that fits your budget, and you don’t mind slower service, consider getting dialup Internet. If you have a home phone line, NetZero and Juno again provide some very inexpensive dial-up services running $10 and $11 per month respectively. Low-income Internet If your income is low enough and you live in a participating state, there are also a number of programs that offer low-cost high-speed Internet services. One that’s most fitting for financially challenged seniors is CenturyLink’s Internet Basics program (centurylink.com/home/internetbasics, 866-642-0444), which is available in 37

states, including California. This program offers high-speed DSL Internet service for just $10 a month for the first year ($21/ month afterwards). It also offers offer a personal computer for just $150 and free introductory computer classes. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you’re receiving certain types of government benefits, such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI, home energy assistance or public housing assistance. Or, that your household income is at or below 135, 150 or 175 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – it varies by state. There are other programs available that serve additional states, like Internet Essentials offered by Comcast (internetessentials.com) and Connect2Compete (connect2compete.org), but to be eligible you must have a child or grandchild who lives in your house that participates in the national school lunch program. Both of these programs offer Internet home service for $10/month and a $150 personal computer. Also, stay tuned for the government’s Lifeline Broadband Program that could soon be offering income-qualified citizens across the country high-speed home Internet services for a low cost. To find out more about all of these programs, visit cheapinternet.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Bad Breath? Bleeding gums? These are common symptoms of gum disease. Gum disease is an infection of your gums caused by bacteria in plaque and calculus. This bacteria can not only infect your gums and teeth, but your gum tissue is a prime entry point for oral bacteria to reach the body’s circulatory system. Research over the last several years has shown a link between gum disease and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and preterm births. The good news? Gum disease is preventable! Here are three simple steps to reduce the risk of gum disease: 1.Proper daily brushing and flossing.

PUSD still needs Adopt-A-Family help Rancho Bernardo Business Association Presents

BY EMILY SORENSEN There’s still time to bring some holiday cheer to a family in need. Poway Unified School District’s Adopt-A-Family program is still looking for about $3,000 in gift card donations for families in need at Valley Elementary, as well as seeking people willing to adopt 20 families this holiday season. Last-minute entries into the Adopt-A-Family program, including five from one school who didn’t realize that volunteers had taken over and united the scattered Adopt-A-Family program, have left 20 families needing adopting before Friday, Dec. 13. Dorinda Soucek was named Palomar Council PTA chair for the program this year, which had been scattered at each individual school last year and this year. Along with donor liaison

Rosie Bell, Soucek has been working to help each school find donations and adoptees for all their families in need. Soucek previously estimated that about 300 families would need to be adopted or receive donations in the Poway Unified School District this holiday season. This year, rather than handle the overwhelming number of gifts they received last year for Valley Elementary School’s roughly 120 families in need, the volunteers running Valley’s AdoptA-Family program decided on collecting gift cards instead. Bell said that they’d like to collect about $3,000 more in gift cards for the families by Dec. 13. Preferred gift cards are for Wal-Mart, Stater Brothers, Vons and gas stations. Those interested in donating gift cards or adopting a family can contact Soucek and Bell at pusdadoptafamily@gmail.com.

be decided by the historical evidence, since some photographed wagons had more open sides than this wagon has now. Thorpe said it might be possible for volunteers to complete the work with an expert’s guidance. “You’d be surprised how many real experts (are in the area),” he said. “There will be no trouble finding the right advisers.” He added, “I think we’d really like to participate ... if we’re able to do it.” As for its condition, “in my non-expert opinion, it’s in pretty good shape,” Thorpe said.

“But we will not know until the paint comes off.” The group is getting restoration estimates from experts, including one in South Dakota. Cook said so far the project could cost $6,000 to $30,000, depending on if the wagon is sent away or restoration is at least partially completed by local volunteers. As for financing, that has yet to be explored, but Cook said the project should be eligible for some grants. He estimates the project will take around a year to complete.

GUEST COLUMN

Funding shortage threatens two vital programs By Karen Miller

alomar Hospital’s Child Abuse Program (CAP) and Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) faces closure on Dec. 13 due to a shortfall in funding. Of the $200,000 needed to be raised by the end of the year, only half has been secured. If the goal is not met, the program will be terminated at the end of the year. CAP and SART provide critically needed ser vices to all of Nor th San Diego County and surrounding communities, from Camp Pendleton to Leucadia, Escondido to Rancho Penasquitos, from the coast to Ramona, as well as five Indian reservations. Not only do these teams provide a nationally recognized and accredited model for evaluation of child abuse in a victim-friendly environment, with staff on call 24/7, the outstanding forensic inter viewers, medical doctors and sexual assault nurses as witnesses, enable the effective prosecution of both rape and child abuse cases in support of local law enforcement. The termination of CAP and SART at Palomar will produce a

vacuum in North County, forcing victims to go over 30 miles south to seek aid in already over-taxed facilities. It is difficult to address the reality of the crimes, but the scope of the problem cannot be ignored. Statistically, it is likely that you will be touched directly or indirectly among your friends and family. You want everything possible to be at the ready when the need arises. I appeal to you to take a moment to do something: Funding is needed now; every dollar counts. Share the facts with others who may be able to help too. Need more information? Call Palomar Health Foundation at 760-739-2961. Ready to make your tax-deductible contribution? Write your check to Palomar Health Foundation marking it for CAP/SART and mail it to: Palomar Health Foundation, 960 Canterbur y Place, Suite 200, Escondido, CA 92025-9823 As a victim of child abuse myself and the aunt of a rape victim, I thank you in advance for your support of these vital programs. Miller is a Poway resident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why not cite the Bible? On Nov. 22, 1963 former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The memorial is said to have inscribed the last paragraph of the speech that he was supposed to give that fateful day in Texas. The following are some quotes from that last paragraph: “That we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of ‘peace on earth, good will toward men.’ “For as was written long ago: ‘except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen waketh but in vain.’ ” What is in single quotes is from the Bible (Luke 2:7-14 and Psalms 127:1), but not noted. When did it become offensive to publicly cite Bible passages?

Stop enabling poor behavior A Florida congressman has just been accused of and admitting to cocaine possession and use. Ditto for the mayor of Canada’s largest city. Why can politicians openly distort the truth, be unashamedly hypocritical, engage in illegal activities, and display obvious incompetence in their jobs? Why? Because we let them. We allow the lame excuse, “what do you expect of any politician”? Have we become so detached and cynical? We as citizens, recognizing our politicians represent our values, must not accept any behavior that we don’t condone personally. They all, at every level of responsibility to the people, must display impeccable personal standards of behavior starting with honoring the truth, keeping their word, and being accountable. Enough said!

Dave Wainwright Rancho Bernardo Tea Party

Agrees with Roost, sort of Very few times do I agree with Amy Roost, but I find some agreement in her Nov. 28 column, “Take a moment to ponder the real hunger games.” But first, let me take issue with a few of her comments. She does not know that the basic allowance for

housing (BAH) is not equal to what all other military members receive throughout the country. BAH varies by location. Her broader point on farm subsidies is quite correct. The vast majority of subsidies go to the largest farms. In recent years, the largest 10 percent of farm businesses have received over 70 percent of farm subsidies. However, I do not believe that Ms. Roost’s two cousins, still on the farm in Iowa, should receive some of these subsidies, as she opines. No producer of private goods should receive subsidies from the government. The farm subsidy programs began in the 1930s and have long since become obsolete. The average income for farm households is about 25 percent higher than the average of all U.S. households. Part of the program is to pay farmers not to plant; creating a reduction in supply, resulting in higher market prices. Thus, the American citizen gets hit twice: first as a taxpayer and second as a consumer. But Amy Roost and I do agree that we should “. . . give thanks for all you have and all we in this nation have to offer others who are less fortunate than ourselves.”

Drowning in water frustrations Well, I’ve had enough! The more water we save the more we’re getting punished by our conservation efforts. Rates in the City of San Diego are going up 7 percent this year and again next year. This is bad enough but I really question the amount of water being used. My water meter was replaced about three years ago (by the city)and ever since my “water usage” has continued to increase. I’ve used the water calculator provided by the City of San Diego as to estimate water usage per household. According to their calculator, I’m using 120 gallons of water per day, yet my bill says I’m using over 500 gallons per day. I called and requested a water audit (had one done just over two years ago) when I started noticing my See LETTERS, Page A26

The ‘pornification’ of America

he advertisement shows an excited young woman holding a packet of birth control pills. A handsome young man is standing directly behind her, grinning provocatively, his arm around her waist. The caption below the apparent command to “Let’s get physical” reads “OMG, he’s hot! Let’s hope he’s as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers.” The advertisement concludes with “I got insurance. You can too. Thanks Obamacare!” No, this is not a joke. This is a real advertisement prepared by ProgressNow Colorado and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative in support of the state’s health insurance exchange. Regardless of one’s own opinion concerning the Affordable Care Act, I think we can all accept as fact this advertisement actively promotes promiscuity. Does anyone really think that is a good idea? My initial reaction upon seeing this advertisement was one of disbelief. Really? The human body is not some kind of amusement park! Then it hit me. Why be upset? Is this not but just one more sign of the times? Look around. We’re surrounded by magazine covers featuring buxom young beauties bursting out of their bustiers, contemporary music redolent of violence, profanity, and lasciviousness, increasingly risqué prime time television, a Wild West Internet where apparently anything goes, sexually explicit movies, rampant teenage sexting, wicked video games, and now this bold-as-you-please

OPINION

Barry Cronin CONSIDER THIS governmental validation of the “hook up” life style. This is the “pornification” of America. Make no mistake; none of this is “art.” The statue of David by Michelangelo, that’s art. Mylie Cyrus “twerking” on prime time television? It might be “entertainment” in the sense that the gladiatorial games were considered “entertainment,” but it is definitely not art. It is pornography. What in the world happened? How did we ever get to this place? I previously wrote a column here titled “Boiling the Frog.” The boiling frog phenomenon is employed as a metaphor to illustrate a couple of points. The first is that people normally find gradual change more acceptable. The second is a warning to always remain aware of gradual change lest we ultimately end up with something we really did not want. I think that is precisely what has happened. We have been desensitized over time to increasingly graphic sexual imagery. Things that were unimaginable a mere 30 and 40 years ago have become acceptable. This is not the story of some naughty little pubescent school boys with a flashlight sneaking

an illicit peek into the forbidden lingerie section of the Sears and Roebuck mail order catalogue. Those days are long gone. What we have today is 360 degree, multi-media, readily available, sexual stimulation, as much as we want. It is the sheer ubiquity of it all. Here is the dilemma. We adults have a sacred responsibility to protect our kids from things that can cause them harm. On that we should all agree. I suspect also most of us do take that obligation seriously. At the same time, our “culture” continues to push the limits of decency, morality and good taste, flooding these impressionable young minds with sexually stimulating imagery and ideas. This is a real problem. By allowing it, we are condoning it. It’s no wonder our kids are confused by all the mixed signals and sensory overload they are getting. One cannot help but wonder. What’s next? How far is this going to go? Finally, let’s not be naive. Pornography has undoubtedly existed since man painted his first crude images on a cave wall thousands of years ago. Indeed, most any visitor to Naples has likely visited the infamous Lupanar bordello of Pompeii. Suffice it to say; those ancient frescoes depicting “services” rendered are rather graphic. But at least the Romans had the good sense to keep that stuff locked away behind closed doors. We cannot even seem to manage that. Cronin is a Poway resident and the assistant police chief at MCAS Miramar. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomerado news.com, are encouraged.

State GOP congressional recovery not likely

epublicans have been talking big this fall, saying they expect to improve greatly on their current 15 seats in California’s delegation of 53 members on the House of Representatives. Don’t bet on it, despite the fact the GOP managed a victory in one recent special election for a Central Valley state Senate seat previously held by a Democrat. For one thing, turnout is generally much lower in special elections than in November votes with offices like governor and a full plate of controversial ballot initiatives at stake. That’s especially true among the Latino voters who have lately made California dependably Democratic, but did not turn out heavily in that special election. Republicans plan next year to target three Democrats who in 2012 took previously GOP congressional seats. But they may not do nearly as well as they expect. One Democrat who thought he would be a big beneficiary of the political demise of former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is first-term Democratic Rep. Scott Peters, who ousted longtime Republican incumbent Brian Bilbray last year. The GOP anointed former City Councilman Carl DeMaio as Peters’ opponent, and he’s a major threat, having carried his San Diego-based district when he narrowly lost the mayoralty to Filner last year. Once Filner left office, DeMaio toyed with the idea of making another run for mayor, thus leaving Peters sitting pretty. But he eventually opted to go against Peters. But for their infighting, Republicans could also have a shot at two other newly Democratic seats. They will wage a spirited primary campaign among three significant candidates wanting to

Thomas Elias SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOCUS oust Sacramento area Rep. Ami Bera. Vying for the slot opposite Bera will be Igor Birman, an immigrant from the old Soviet Union who has been chief of staff to Rep. Tom McClintock, solidly entrenched in a neighboring district. There will also be Elizabeth Emken, the GOP’s failed 2012 candidate against Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who moved her residence from the East San Francisco Bay area city of Danville to make this run, and former Rep. Doug Ose. Says Alan Hoffenblum, a former Republican consultant who now edits the California Target Book rundown on the state’s political races, “Republicans in this district love to fight over who’s a real Republican; they’re not as good at beating Democrats.” The GOP may have its best chance in the Coachella Valley area around Palm Springs, where it seeks to upset first-termer Raul Ruiz, who ousted longtime Rep. Mary Bono Mack last year. Likely to face Ruiz is soon-to-be termed out Assemblyman Brian Nestande, whose father Bruce was a longtime state legislator and later an Orange County supervisor. Republicans will also try to regain a Ventura County-based seat they lost last year when Rep. Julia Brownley narrowly defeated former GOP state Sen. Tony Strickland. Yet, Brownley ap-

pears more entrenched by the day. Even if the GOP picks off a Democrat or two next year, the embattled party is just as likely to lose one or two seats it now holds. Most endangered in the GOP is longtime Rep. Gary Miller, in the 31st District, taking in most of southern and central San Bernardino County. Miller lucked out last year, as Democrats splintered their party’s vote in the “top two” primary, leaving Miller to run against a fellow Republican. This time, no other significant Republican seems likely to run, while Democrat Pete Aguilar, the party’s leading vote-getter last time, faces former Democratic Congressman Joe Baca and activist Eloise Reyes, endorsed by the fundraising group Emily’s List. So Miller will almost certainly get a Democratic opponent in this district with a large Democratic majority among registered voters, an area that twice voted for President Obama. Another possibly endangered Republican is Jeff Denham, from the Merced-Modesto area. His district is strongly Latino, one reason Denham bucked his party’s leadership to endorse immigration changes including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. He is likely to be opposed by beekeeper and farmer Michael Eggman, whose sister is a Democratic assemblywoman. The bottom line, though, is that the GOP will be lucky to hang onto its current puny total of 15 California congressional seats. That’s mainly because the party has made no significant inroads into the solidly Democratic loyalties of the state’s Latino voters and will continue paying heavily for it.

While many high school students spent their Thanksgiving break catching up on sleep and hanging out with their friends, the members of 4S Ranch band Half Moon Portrait were recording in Hollywood. “Hollywood is awesome,” said Shiller. “We’re spending six days recording.” The band is made up of Del Norte High School junior Ari Shiller on vocals and guitar, Mt.

Half Moon Portrait is also gearing up for their first show as a band at SOMA on Saturday, Dec. 7. While Shiller and Martinez have performed at the venue before with their previous band, Relentless Nation, this will be the first time as a group that Half Moon Portrait takes the famous stage. The band will perform for 30 minutes as part of a line up including Frequency, Pullman Standard, Lightning Starts Fire, The Justice Fire and Story Mode. “It’s going to be a really good show,” said Shiller. “We really wanted to play the show because it’s really local to our fans and friends.” While the band has performed in many venues since it was formed last December, Shiller said he thought the SOMA show would be their best show yet.

partially due to their being able to debut their two new songs “Stor y Untold” and “Ever y Beat,” which they recorded in Hollywood with producer Casey Sabol over their Thanksgiving break from school. “Casey puts in a lot of input and is helping us with the process,” said Shiller. “We’re definitely doing what we envisioned. We can already see [our work] evolving.” Though still unsigned to a record label, the band was connected to Sabol, who helped them record their new songs. Half Moon Portrait plans to release the songs on an EP, which Shiller said they hope to have finished by their show on Dec. 7. The songs will also be released on YouTube. “We’re trying to get it all done by the show,” said Shiller. Shiller said the band wasn’t currently planning for their second album, but is working on new music in addition to their two new songs. Their first album, “Game of Life!” was released in June. “Our first album set the bar for where we want to go as a band,” said Shiller. “Our new tracks are evolving from our first album’s sound.” Half Moon Portrait’s first album is available to listen to on the online streaming site Spotify, which Shiller said was good exposure for the group. “We had a great experience getting [our album] out on Spotify and [other online sites],” said Shiller. “We got a great reception.” The concert at SOMA begins at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7. Tickets for the show are $8 in advance and are available by calling 619226-7662 or visiting www.somasandiego.com. SOMA is located at 3350 Sports Arena Blvd. in San Diego.

Experience these great local restaurants!

Chin’s Rancho Bernardo offers traditional Chinese Szechwan cuisine and seafood in an excellent dining atmosphere. Established in 1984, Chin’s has stood out among Chinese restaurants by using only the finest ingredients. Chin’s offers traditional house specialties such as the highly recommended Hon Hon Shrimp: lightly braised jumbo shrimp sautéed in a sweet and pungent sauce; or Tangerine Crispy Beef: chunks of crispy beef sautéed with tangerine peel and chili peppers in a chef’s special sauce. Chin’s also offers several vegetarian choices. Lunch choices are as varied and exciting as the dinner menu. Try their Hot Braised Delight: a combination of shrimp and sliced chicken breast cooked in a homemade chili tomato sauce, or their Lin Ko Steak: tender sliced steak sautéed with onions in a black pepper steak sauce. Their prices are very reasonable and portions are large. Szechwan cuisine is diverse and popular, having been described by the four words: fresh, fragrant spicy and hot, though Chin’s offers many milder, flavorful options for those who don’t prefer spicy or hot. Chin’s Rancho Bernardo is located at 15721 Bernardo Heights Parkway, in the Sprout’s Center. Open 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner; lunch specialties are offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. on weekends). Early Bird specials are available from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Chin’s offers banquet facilities and catering, and the complete menu is available for take-out.

RB celebrates Thanksgiving at 24th annual luncheon BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A 24-year tradition continued when 380 Rancho Bernardo residents, business leaders, civic volunteers and a few politicians gathered to collectively express gratitude for their blessings. The Rancho Bernardo Thanksgiving Luncheon was mostly filled with tradition, a few new aspects and a bit of nostalgia when a video of the late Jack Mitchell playing “God Bless America” on his trumpet concluded the Nov. 26 event in the Rancho Bernardo Inn’s Aragon Ballroom. The luncheon is not only a way for community members to visit with one another at the start of the holiday season, but an opportunity for the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation to raise money for RB’s more than $1.5 million endowment and the annual grants program. This year, $53,875 in grants was distributed to 20 organizations serving Rancho Bernardans of all ages. According to Marty Judge, the luncheon’s chairman, the event also attracted all ages, with the youngest attendee being 8 years old and the most senior being a 96-yearold. “From the comments I heard from people while leaving, it seemed to be an outstanding success,” Judge said. “We built on the success of previous years’ positive trend and expect to continue that through the next decade.” According to Judge, attendance was higher this year, with 380 gathering, up from the 344 during last year’s luncheon. Rep. Scott Peters was among political dignitaries present, who said Rancho Bernardo is the only community in the county that gathers in this fashion. He also took time to thank current and former military personnel who

Corinne Campbell put themselves in harm’s way to protect Americans’ freedoms. In his first turn as master of ceremonies, City Councilman Mark Kersey said, “I go to a lot of events ... (and) this really is a one-of-a-kind event.” RB Idol finalist Samantha Belgum entertained with a

soulful rendition of “Over the Rainbow” and RB Gold Idol winner Alice Dodd followed up by singing “Summertime.” Pianist John Hawkins also performed. The greatly expanded silent auction returned, while the first-time addition of a live auction featured a 12hour yacht outing plus meals for six along San Diego Bay. The opportunity offered by Richard House will occur on the last night of the Parade of Lights on Dec. 15. It sold for $2,000. Foundation Vice President Jeff Shea announced the foundation is adding a new component to its fundraising endeavors — annual memberships starting at $500 that, if like those at nearby community foundations, has great potential for larger grant presentations in the future.

Poinsettias for PoVa

HONORS Taylor Trosper, a freshman of Biola University and graduate of Rancho Bernardo High School, was among 82 students who received one of the college’s highest scholarships — the President’s scholarship — for the 2013/2014 academic year. Freshmen are eligible for the President’s scholarship — $10,000 per year — if upon entering the university, they meet the requirements of the scholarship. Approximately 6 percent of this year’s incoming class received this award. Students are considered for this scholarship upon admission to the university based on their GPA and SAT scores. The requirements of the scholarship are a GPA of at least 3.5 and a combined SAT score of 1430, both math and English scores. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.5 to continue to receive the scholarship the following year. Four Poway residents have been named to the dean’s list at Biola University: Cayberlin Allen, Brittanie Arnett, Caitlin Curmi and Kevin Harris.

amount of water continuing to rise. I did have a leak at the water regulator which was repaired but it hasn’t changed my water usage. The plumber who replaced it adjusted the water pressure to the standard level so I should be using even less water. When I called the water department, their answer was, we can come and re-read your meter but it appears nothing is wrong. I don’t want them to come re-read it. I can do that myself, that’s why I’m calling. I’d like to know if there are others having the same issue.

Alan Stockton Rancho Bernardo

Anyone for a hike? Believe it or not, we have lived in Poway for over 30 years and I just learned about Potato Chip Rock. It was fun to see a picture of it in the paper. Is there a hiking club or a group of people who would like to belong to one? It would be a great way to meet new people while exploring our local hiking trails.

Patty Christenson Poway

'Dumbfounded' by water vote While the Old Coach residents were right on a lot, there are still residents down there that have lush landscaping. They believe that the underground water is theirs and if

they have the money, they will keep on drilling further down to supply their needs (Just like Sunroad). I’m surprised that the city didn’t hold Sunroad accountable for past violations. Why the council would even approve the pumping when Sunroad has apparently thumbed their nose at the city has me dumbfounded. The big issue is that we live in an arid area. Underground water is finite and should be treated as such. For the most part, I don’t think some residents in the impacted area or Sunroad really understand that. Reclaimed water is the key. New golf courses and business parks should be built with reclaimed water coming in for at least landscaping and fire. Digging up Espola now to put in such a line with probably be cost prohibitive. So when the water dries up, Sunroad has the money to pay for city water, no matter how high the cost, while many of the residents in the impacted area will either have to pay to get city water, pay for water pumpers to bring in their water, or sell their homes because they have no water.

Roger Covalt Poway

Upset by mayor's comment There is disappointment in Poway Councilmembers Cunningham and Mullin’s vote to permit Sunroad’s Maderas Golf Club to resume ground water pumping, knowing scientifically the water is dropping in north

Poway, including the Maderas water wells. However, more disturbing was Mayor Higginson’s repeated remark that we all do bad things; suggesting it’s OK to do bad things; thou shall be rewarded. Let us point out a few of Sunroad’s bad deeds. Destroyed sensitive riparian areas; killed 60 mature oak trees. A Sunroad/city special covenant was made to pump groundwater; though the golf club was approved on promises of using reclaimed water. Pumped groundwater and compromised resident wells in Lower Sycamore Creek and other areas. Bypassed meters for free water; former City Manager Jim Bowersox documented to Sunroad that it committed water theft on several occasions by damaging and tampering of water meters. Pumped so much groundwater it created an overdraft in the aquifer causing alarming declines to the water table, water wells and more oak tree demise. But we all do bad things, says Mayor Higginson. Indeed a righteous reason to reward

Sunroad. Recompense Sunroad for violating specific ordinances meant to protect riparian areas that include Blue Sky Ecological Reserve, residents solely dependent on ground water in what’s left of this City in the Country, and cause continued deaths or our regal oak trees. Reward the underhanded deals and the bad things Sunroad does with no scruples; let Sunroad’s Maderas Golf Club pump away, Mayor Higginson, because apparently it’s OK to do bad things.

PREP WRESTLING PREVIEW

DRIVE FOR FIVE Titans chasing fifth state title; Broncos focused on finishing strong trol this year thanks to a handful of freshmen. Here is a closer look at the local teams:

BY MICHAEL BOWER The goal is the same each year for the Poway High wrestling program — win state. “That’s it,” said Branstetter, who is in his 36th season as head coach of the Titans. “That’s always it.” Four times Poway has accomplished the feat, the last one coming in 2009. That seems far too long ago for Branstetter, who knows it will take a lot to top defending state champion Clovis this season. But Poway, which finished second in the state and captured its 28th straight CIF San Diego Section crown last year, features another loaded lineup. Junior Ralphy Tovar, who is ranked No. 1 in the state at 138 pounds, leads the way. He is followed by four other state-ranked grapplers for the Titans. Poway, Rancho Bernardo

ԎԎ OUTLOOK: Not much changes from year to year for the Titans. They are easily the favorite to capture a 34th league title and 28th straight section crown.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Manis stays healthy for Nighthawks BY MICHAEL BOWER

MANIS

More than half the battle for a cross country runner each year is making it through the season healthy and then hitting your peak toward the middle of November. Nobody knows more about how tough that is than Del Norte High junior Mitch Manis. He spent the last two years running his heart out early in the season only to catch colds right around the Valley League championships in November. Being sick got the best of him both times, as he sputtered out just before the CIF San Diego Section championships. “He gets sick very easily,” Del Norte coach Chris Jacobs said. “Even a small cold just destroys him. It happened in league during his freshman year and at the end of his sophomore year at CIF. He also broke his ankle playing soccer in between the cross country and track season his freshman year.”

Manis entered this year with a different approach. He watched everyone around him like a hawk and if there was the slightest sign of sickness he was headed the other direction. “I was just much more focused on washing my hands and staying away from people that were sick,” he said. “I was doing everything I could to keep myself healthy and it all paid off.” Indeed it did. Manis survived the entire year for the Nighthawks and was See MANIS, Page B3

A SHAME DNHS NOT ALIGNED WITH REST OF PUSD SCHOOLS

he pr ocess of r ealigning the leagues within the North County Conference comes around ever y two years — just long enough for Rancho Bernardo High athletic director Peggy Brose to forget about how painful it is to do. She is one of the nine members on the realignment committee, which spends countless hours racking their brains with ever y possible scenario imaginable. The goal is to place each Nor th County school in a league that makes geographical and competitive sense — a near impossibility. In fact, it’s pretty safe to say not everyone ever walks away completely happy when the new leagues are announced after being put to a majority-rules vote by the 24 principles. There always seems to be winners and losers in it all. And The Bench wouldn’t be the only one to tell you Del Nor te High and the surrounding community came out on the losing end of this See BENCH, Page B3

a state title? “It is going to be a stretch, but it depends on how far we come along,” said Branstetter, who has been coaching the sport for 41 years. “Clovis had a couple transfers who really shored them up. They were vulnerable until they got those.” And No. 2: Is this Branstetter’s final act? “I always evaluate that at the end of the season.” So, the drive for a fifth state title in school history will begin in familiar fashion — everyone chasing powerhouse Poway in the San Diego Section and the Titans trying to hunt down state power and defending state champion Clovis. Then, of course, there is the familiar star-studded lineup the Titans boast. It starts with Tovar, a 138-pound junior. The fifth-place finisher at state last year, is ranked No. 1 in the state entering this season. “(Tovar) has worked really hard,” Branstetter said. “He is a smart kid, who realizes you have to keep improving.” Poway has five wrestlers in all ranked in the top 15 in the state, according to calgrappler.com. Enloe, a senior, was one win away from placing at state last year. He will wrestle at 145 for the Titans, but is ranked No. 4 at 152. Dial is No. 7 at 120, Cody Doyle is No. 6 at 160 and Sorahan is No. 12 at 220. Poway, which is ranked No. 7 in the state as a team, will find out in a hurry where it stands in the state with the prestigious El Dorado tournament over the weekend. The Titans’ first home duel is on Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Temecula. ****

ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Broncos have fizzled out toward the end of the past two seasons and Terribilini is focusing on changing that this year. “For the first time ever, I am not really worried about how we do early in the year,” he said. “The last few years, we haven’t finished as strong as we are capable of and that has hurt us.” The hope is that the Broncos finish strong and send at least one grappler to the state tourna-

ment for the first time since 2010. Rancho Bernardo should battle with La Costa Canyon for second place in Division II. Poway will likely run away with the title. “We should be pretty solid through most of the lineup,” Terribilini said. “I look at our lineup and I don’t see any holes or kids that haven’t put in a good offseason.” Stock returns after finishing in third place in Division II last season. Heavyweight Zeighami should provide a boost, after missing last season due to an injury.

ԎԎ COACH: Anthony Alvarez, first year ԎԎ LAST SEASON: Finished in fifth place at the Division IV section championships. ԎԎ KEY GRAPPLERS: 160, Jordan Mendosa; 170, Michael Bulkin; 184, Rey Buccat. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Nighthawks are two years removed from a Valley League crown, but are looking to get back on top. Last season, Del Norte struggled to fill all 14 weight classes and finished last in league. The lone bright spot was delivered by Sam Acosta, who captured the CIF Masters Championship title. He is now with the team as an assistant coach. The challenge ahead for the Nighthawks will be developing the freshmen. “Last year, we had a bunch of lightweights and this year we have all upper weights,” Alvarez said. “We have almost every class filled, but we are putting freshmen in at the lower weights.” Ramona and Valley Center will be the favorites in the Valley League. Del Norte will be led by Mendosa, Bulkin and Buccat. Mendosa took second in Division IV last season, before an injury forced him to sit out the masters tournament. Buccat, a senior, was one round away from placing at masters last year, while Bulkin went 2-2 at masters as a sophomore. “I think the next step for (Bulkin), from my point of view, is that I hope he can make state,” Alvarez said. “But I think he will be a top-six finisher at masters.” The Nighthawks open the season today (Thursday) at Mt. Carmel at 6:45 p.m.

year’s realignment, which was recently announced. The Nighthawks will be moving from the Valley League to the Avocado East at the start of the 2014-2015 school year. In the Avocado East along with Del Norte for football will be Mission Hills, Rancho Buena Vista, San Marcos and Vista — all traditionally tough programs. For the non-football league, it will be Mission Hills, San Dieguito Academy, San Marcos, Escondido and San Pasqual joining Del Norte. The Bench is not labeling the Nighthawks the loser in all of this because of the distance they will be having to bus — which is similar to what is this year — or because the money they are likely to lose at home football games due to a lack of proximity-based league opponents. Sure, those are both issues. But The Bench is more concerned with the Del Norte athletes and its community losing out on what could have been one of the most exciting two

years of high school sports ever around here. Imagine it: The Palomar League filled with all Poway Unified School District schools. The crowds, the excitement, the student section battles and the fact that neighboring schools would be battling for league titles and bragging rights with friends for the next two years. Sign The Bench up for some of that, please. Brose wanted it. No question Del Norte athletic director Mike Giaime wanted it. And trust The Bench: you wanted it. But for some reason, not many outside of the district wanted it. “I don’t know if they have a good reason to not want us in the same league,” Brose said. “I think the thought is: ‘why do they get to be in one league? Are they something special?’” Said Giaime on what could have been: “Could you imagine a basketball game where we are playing Poway for the league

title? Do you know what kind of excitement that would bring here in the community. Hopefully, in the future, the North County Conference will see that is best for us.” The realignment did bring the Palomar League for football one step closer to an All-PUSD league. Mt. Carmel will be replacing Torrey Pines, which will bring back the battle for the Kiwanis Cup between the Sundevils and Poway. Ramona is the lone outsider in the league now. The Bench understands there are more school districts in North County than the PUSD, and what might be perfect around here might not be best for the conference as a whole. But The Bench is hoping that some day — hopefully two years from now — what is best around here will align with what is best for the conference in the eyes of all the committee members and principles. Until then, Del Norte athletes and its surrounding community looks like they will be stuck on the outside looking in.

their top finisher at the state championships Saturday. He came in 41st place in the Division III race, crossing the tape on the 3.1-mile course at Woodward Park in Fresno in 16 minutes, 32 seconds. Del Norte placed 14th as a team, despite many of its runners battling through injuries. “I am glad the season closed the way it did,” said Manis, who with his performance is the Integrated Planning Services Athlete of the Week. “In all my races I tried my hardest and I am really happy with most of the times. I don’t know if I could have pushed any harder in any of the races.” Manis was pushed into the leadership role earlier this year when senior Eric Inumerable suffered a setback due to an injur y. Manis met the challenge head on, pushing himself as hard as he can go in the section championships. His

fourth-place finish help ensure the Nighthawks a trip to state. It also left him gassed for the season’s final meet. “The section championships race really tired me out because I was really focused on getting our team to state,” he said. “I wasn’t worried about doing well at state at the time. The state course is really flat so it is supposed to be a lot faster time wise, but my legs were having a breakdown period.” But they did get him through the entire year — a huge step considering he will be the front runner for the Nighthawks next season. That is a role Manis is looking forward to and Jacobs is excited about. “It was ver y encouraging to see him finish the season this year,” Jacobs said. “It will be a really good cornerstone to build on for the future. He is now the leader. We were always kind of expecting him to

be there, but for him it was just about trying to finish the season strong. The experience he got running at state was priceless for him.” Manis has already started setting goals for next season. He wants to capture team and individual section titles. The former could be tough since the Nighthawks are losing four

of their top seven runners to graduation, but the latter looks to be within reach. “He might be the No. 1 or No. 2 returner in our division next year,” Jacobs said. So, if you show even the slightest sign of being sick during the cross country season next year, do not expect Manis to come around.

PRCA NATIONAL FINALS RODEO

Gibson set to be official timer at rodeo’s biggest event It will be the second year in a row the longtime Poway resident works the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas BY MICHAEL BOWER Photos of previous National Finals Rodeo champions surrounded Sherry Gibson last year, as she strolled along the same red carpet the top 15 money-winning cowboys strut down each year before competing for the coveted title. Gibson was not preparing for battle inside the ring that day at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, but she felt just as much anxiety shooting through her body as any competitor would. That’s what happens when the livelihood of 15 others depend on how well you do your job. That’s how it feels moments before you take your seat as the official timer for the Super Bowl of rodeos. “The first time I walked down that carpet it was really overwhelming,” said Gibson, a 1980 Poway High graduate and current resident of Poway. “You get chills just like a contestant competing. But for me, once I sat in my chair, I knew the job I had to do so I was OK.” Gibson turned out to be more than OK. In fact, she did such an outstanding job as the official timer last year at the National Finals Rodeo that she was invited back to do it again at the 2013 Wrangler National Rodeo Finals, which begins today (Thursday) and concludes Dec. 14 in Las Vegas. “When they pick you the first time you need to be prepared to do it for three years,” said Gibson, who is in her 25th year as an official timer for the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association. “But at the same time, the payout is over $6 million for that one rodeo. If you don’t do a good job, you don’t come back. So there is a lot of pressure. You have to go into it with the mind set that people’s livelihoods

Sherry Gibson at last year’s Wrangler National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas. Photo by Kendra Santos depend on you doing your job.” Her job is certainly not as easy as a Super Bowl clock operator, especially during the bull riding events. Gibson needs to be precise with starting the watch as soon as the rider’s inside shoulder crosses the plane of the bucking

shoot. “There is a little subjectivity to it so that is probably the hardest,” said Gibson, who spends nine months out of the year traveling to rodeos in the Western United States with her husband, Brent. “It’s not as cut and dry as the timed events.” What makes timing at the National Finals Rodeo different from all the others is the instantaneous need for results. Media outlets all over the world are depending on Gibson’s times to be distributed quickly and accurately. “You are actually taking around a headset and when they announce the scoring or the time you are providing the information to the media around the world,” explained Gibson. “So you cannot make a mistake when you are on that headset.” Gibson, who also teaches horseback riding and loves to play polo, said she became an official timer in 1987 because her husband at the time wanted to be a rodeo cowboy and she knew she was going to need money for the entry fees. Since then, she has been the official timer for several of the biggest rodeos and has done multiple small rodeos. Last year was not her first time working a National Finals Rodeo. In the late 1980s until the mid 1990s, Gibson carried sponsor flags at the event. Gibson also has ties to the Poway Rodeo, where she was a former princess.

LEGALS CONTINUED principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $174,239.70 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings

association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the

CROSSWORD

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0100006613. 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.
