BY GARY ROBBINS Three strong storms are expected to hit San Diego County between today and Tuesday, bringing with them the threat of flash flooding in some areas and the potential for heavy snowfall in the mountains. In what could be the wettest stretch of weather the region has seen since 2010,

meteorologists predict that 3 to 5 inches will drench inland valleys. That moisture would further help California move ever closer to ending its drought of more than five years in many regions of the state — after recent months in which considerable storm activity has raised the levels of key reservoirs in Northern California, added

to the Sierra snowpack and begun to replenish groundwater aquifers in the Central Valley after decades of overuse. The foul weather was expected to begin during the Thursday morning commute. Meteorologists said it’s possible that nearly an inch of rain could fall in certain coastal and valley areas over a three-hour period that morning,

and that snowfall will drop to the 4,000-foot level by Thursday night. They said they believe Friday’s storm will be even stronger, lashing a county that might be saturated with moisture by then. Flash-flooding advisories are expected to be posted across much of the region at that time. SEE STORMS, A10

FIREFIGHTERS IN TRAINING The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District held a live fire training day media event at its Station No. 2 in 4S Ranch on Tuesday afternoon so journalists could observe its three probationary firefighters and other personnel in action. The probationary firefighters, waiting in the fire engine to begin the exercise, are Chase Cantrell, Alex Trottier and Jake Barkhimer. Their training included entering and extinguishing a fire in various burn rooms in the station’s five-story, 3,000-square-foot training tower. Public Information Officer Julie Taber said the facility at 16930 Four Gee Road is used by various local agencies for training, which is why residents occasionally see and smell smoke coming from the station. It has areas to create multiple scenarios, including vehicle rescues.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Know of a longtime volunteer in Rancho Bernardo who stands out above the rest for dedication, leadership and service? Nominate that person for the Rancho Bernardo Hall of Fame. The organization is accepting names until Feb. 28 for its Class of 2017 honorees. The nomination form is available at RBHallofFame.org. Since it was formed in 1974, the organization has honored 111 individuals with membership for their volunteer work that improved Rancho Bernardo’s development and enhanced its residents’ quality of life. In recent years, between one and three new members have been inducted annually. There were no 1988, 1991 and 2014 inductees and in 2010 the group decided to have an honorary inductee since it would be the 100th member. Rancho Bernardo founder Harry Summers was chosen for the honor. To be considered, nominees must be living and have given six or more years of outstanding volunteer service to the Rancho Bernardo community. This must include at least three years in a leadership role, which resulted in “significant contributions to Rancho Bernardo,” according to the nomination form. Leadership role is defined as the leader of an organization, committee or project. SEE NOMINATIONS, A10

St. Michael’s in Poway among faith communities helping homeless Temporary housing among services offered through network in 31st year

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Poway is the most recent local faith community to provide temporary housing to some of the area’s homeless through the Interfaith Shelter Network. “We thought it was a great cause to help the situational homeless going through a rough spot by

giving them help to get back on their feet,” said Ana Alvord, who with Brigitte Ponce are the coordinators of St. Michael’s two-week homeless shelter. Alvord said she has been involved with the program for seven years as a volunteer when San Rafael Catholic Church in Rancho Bernardo hosts the homeless for two weeks each year. The 11 guests

BY EMILY SORENSEN The process of narrowing down the candidate pool for the position of superintendent of the Poway Unified School District began this morning (Thursday) as the Board of Education met in a closed-session meeting to look at the top candidates, as suggested by the search firm Ray and Associates. Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff said Tuesday night that while the board members wouldn’t know the exact number of candidates they would be reviewing until the meeting, she anticipated it to be about 10 to 15 people. The board members will not be interviewing these top candidates at the meeting, but will be reviewing extensive packets of information on each candidate as gathered by the search firm, she said. O’Connor-Ratcliff said the goal of today’s meeting is to narrow that top candidate pool down further to the board members’ top candidate picks, who they will interview sometime in the near future. She said that if the board can agree on a few top candidates, interviews can be set up almost immediately. The board members don’t plan to fly out candidates for the first round of interviews in the effort to save money, said O’Connor-Ratcliff, and will probably conduct the interviews via video conference. The board members will then narrow those candidates down further, to a top two or three, she said, and will probably fly out those applicants for a final round of in-person interviews.

The initial timeline given at the Oct. 26 meeting with the search firm aimed the hiring of the superintendent to be complete by early February. O’Connor-Ratcliff said this now seems “ambitious” but she is hopeful it will remain the same. “If there is a fantastic candidate, we can move forward,” she said. “We’re not going to be settling. We’re going to find the perfect candidate or we’re not going to be hiring (them).” The Board of Education also held its first regular meeting of 2017 Tuesday night, which was also the first of its new twice-monthly format. Holding meetings twice a month for most months aims to reduce meeting times and give the board members more time to discuss important issues without an extensive agenda to work through, O’Connor-Ratcliff said. The months that will have two meetings are January, March, May and September. O’Connor-Ratcliff said the district and the board members are still figuring out how the twice-monthly meetings will work, but said she liked how the shorter meeting allowed more time for board discussion of new topics on Tuesday night. One possibility is that the board will use the second meeting for presentations on topics needing updates, she said. The next regularly scheduled PUSD board meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31 at the district office, 15250 Avenue of Science.

The 55th annual Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway Scholarship Pageant will be held April 1.

First Miss Poway orientation meeting is Sunday A second is being held Jan. 29 BY EMILY SORENSEN The Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway Scholarship Pageant is returning for its 55th year with orientation meetings at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22 and Sunday, Jan. 29. Anyone wishing to participate in this year’s pageant, which will be held on April 1 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, must attend one of these orientation meetings. The pageant is open to any girl living in a Poway Unified School District ZIP codes (92064, 92127, 92128 and 92129) who is unmarried and between the ages of 12 and 24. Anyone wishing to participate in this year’s pageant, which will be held on April 1 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, must attend one of these orientation meetings. The meetings are about an hour long and will provide all the needed information about participating in the pageant. The meetings will be held at the Poway Community Center in the Bill Bond conference room. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend with their daughters. The pageant is sponsored by the Poway Kiwanis Club. There are three categories in the pageant, Miss Poway, for girls ages 17 to 24, Miss Teen Poway, for girls ages 15 to 16 and Miss Junior Teen Poway, for girls ages 12 to 14. The teen category was added to the pageant in 2004 and the junior teen category in 2014. More than just a beauty pageant, the Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway Scholarship Pageant aims to find young ladies who will act as youth ambassadors to the city of Poway, according to a press release from Sharon Gruber, the pageant’s director and event coordinator. “Miss Poway Court will represent the best that Poway has to offer. She is poised,

comfortable in social and civic situations and has a willingness to serve the citizens of Poway. Miss Poway Court will meet the mayor, all the members of the city council and most importantly, the residents of the city of Poway at the many local events. They will shake hands, pose for many pictures and bend down and place their crown on many young girls’ heads,” said Gruber. During their year-long reigns, the three queens and their courts will spend between 150 to 200 hours doing community service and personal appearances. Some of these activities include the City of Poway’s Old-Fashioned Fourth of July celebration, Poway City Council meetings, the Train Song Festival, the annual Poway Days Parade, the Poway Rodeo, the Rancho Bernardo Spirit of the Fourth parade, serving a meal to wounded service members at Balboa Naval Hospital, volunteering at the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb and volunteering at the City of Poway’s Easter egg hunt. In the eight weeks leading up to the pageant, the contestants will be trained in several skills, including public speaking, job interview skills, how to dress for an interview and even self-defense. “We at the Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant hope that the contestants and winners have an incredible experience that will remain in their memories and heart for a life time. The friendships and skills obtained are so important to these young ladies. We want them to become the leaders of tomorrow. We want them to spend a life time in service of others. We want them to have fun while they are doing their community service,” said Gruber. For more information on the orientation meetings or the pageant itself, contact Sharon Gruber at 619-823-8832 or misspoway@gmail.com or visit misspoway.com. Pageant details also can be found on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.

Doctor has a sharp eye for crosswords BY PAM KRAGEN What six-letter word describes the San Diego ophthalmologist who has quickly become one of the top New York Times crossword puzzle creators in the world? Answer: Haight. As in Bruce Haight, a 63-year-old Poway grandfather who has had 20 puzzles published in the Times in the past four years, with 12 more waiting in the wings. He’s also had 20 puzzles published in the Los Angeles Times, with five in the pipeline. Since January 2013, Haight has ranked among the top 10 crossword creators published in the prestigious New York paper, and he’s just getting started. Since he discovered the hobby in April 2012, he has churned out more than 300 puzzles in his spare time. Will Shortz, the New York Times’ crossword editor, said Haight is a prolific producer with a lot of fresh ideas and clues, and his puzzle “fill” (words) are getting better all the time. Haight said crossword-building fills his downtime at work, challenges his intellect, entertains his patients and has introduced him to a wide circle of puzzle-loving friends who chat online and convene every year in New England. But even more important, crossword puzzles saved Haight’s life. When he started creating puzzles four years ago, he became so obsessed he lost interest in food and sleep and rapidly lost 10 pounds. His wife, Kaiser neuro-oncologist Liz Spier, was so worried, she ordered an MRI scan that showed an early-stage kidney cancer. Left undiagnosed, like most kidney cancers are until symptoms appear, it might’ve killed him in five years.

NELVIN C. CEPEDA U-T

Bruce Haight has created hundreds of crossword puzzles as a hobby, but says he’s not very good at solving them. “You could say I’m alive today because of it,” he said. Yet for all his constructing prowess, Haight admits he’s not very good at solving the tricky word puzzles. An easy Monday or Tuesday Times crossword maybe, but definitely not the ultra-difficult Friday and Saturday grids. Wordsmithing isn’t his expertise, numerical grid-building is. Haight was born with a knack for numbers and patterns and over the years has been a

competitive bridge player and backgammon champion, according to his proud parents, Jim and Joyce Haight. Snowbirds from Wisconsin, they’ve wintered since 1987 in Tierrasanta, where they’re avid golfers. “Growing up, Bruce was smart as a whip,” said Joyce, a retired tax consultant. “But he was always more into science and numbers than words. I was the one in the family who liked doing the crosswords.” She and Jim, an insurance agent for 60 years,

followed their son to San Diego after he moved from Madison, Wis., in 1978 to attend ophthalmology school. Four years later, he opened his practice, Grossmont Eye Center, in La Mesa. He and his wife raised two children, a 35-year-old daughter who lives in Laguna Niguel and a 24-year-old son in Las Vegas, and have been an active travelers, golfers and tennis players. While he enjoyed the occasional game of Sudoku, Haight said he only worked crossword puzzles once or twice a year. Then a childhood friend — acclaimed puzzle-builder Peter A. Collins — suggested Haight give crossword construction a try. He downloaded an app on his iPad, came up with a puzzle idea and then asked for guidance from Collins, a high school math teacher in Michigan who has published 97 puzzles in the Times. Haight’s first puzzle wasn’t accepted by Shortz. Nor were his next 37. Finally, he made a sale (the Times pays $360 for a daily puzzle and $1,200 for a Sunday grid) and his literary-themed debut crossword was published on Jan. 3, 2013. “It took 39 tries to get accepted and that was the worst puzzle I ever made,” Haight said. “I think Will Shortz was feeling sorry for me because he’d rejected 38 in a row. It got the lowest rating of any puzzle I’ve ever seen, but I was still proud of it and I worked harder.” Shortz, in a recent interview Thursday, admitted that Haight’s skills have come a long way over the past few years, particularly in the areas of word fill and clues.

Bruce Haight specializes in puzzles with grid art, a design built into the black boxes between the letters, like this one with a Scotty dog in the middle. FROM CROSSWORDS, A4 “In the beginning we had to spend a lot of time on his fills but now they’re a lot smoother,” Shortz said, adding, “Bruce has become a much better clue-writer over the past year. I used to have to change most of the clues he submitted. Now not so many. His clues now are fresh and on-target. He’s a pleasure to edit.” On Dec. 4, Haight achieved his greatest milestone with the publication of his first Sunday crossword in the Times. The extra-large “Action Stars” puzzle featured film actors whose surnames — with the suffix “ed” — formed a past-tense verb, like “Sean Penned,” “James Garnered” and “Helen Hunted.” Haight specializes in puzzles with grid art, where the black squares between the letter boxes are arranged in a recognizable pattern. He once created a puzzle with the likeness of Benjamin Franklin, another with fish swimming upstream, one with birds and another of juggling balls (one of his hobbies in college). His favorite, published in the Times on Feb. 17, 2015, featured a Scottish terrier. But interesting grid art alone doesn’t make a sale. The Scotty dog puzzle, for example, featured dog breed words with multiple meanings (for example a poodle could be a dog, a haircut or a skirt). Shortz said his favorite Haight puzzle had a large black capital letter “I” in the middle, and many of the words that flowed up to it used that “I” as a word part, like “Adelph_” and “literat_.” “That was really brilliant,” Shortz said. Another of Haight’s specialties is grids with a minimum of letters. He recently submitted a puzzle that uses just six letters of the alphabet, he’s waiting for another to be published with seven letters, and on April 14, 2015, the Times published his grid built with eight. “Above everything else, there’s Bruce’s feat of producing a pretty clean grid using only eight different letters of the alphabet. Wow. I doff my hat,” Shortz wrote of that puzzle, in the online forum xwordinfo.com.

Of course, not every crossword gets such high praise. On another forum hosted by puzzle-solver Rex Parker, a reviewer gave Haight an “F” grade for the “musty clues” on a grid that ran last July featuring two-word phrases with the initials “S.T.” Haight said Shortz has often come to the defense of his constructors whose puzzles get “ripped to shreds” on Parker’s website. Haight spends about 20 hours a week making crosswords. Each one takes about three to four hours to complete. He starts with a theme, lays out the grid, then uses software to find interesting words and phrases to fill in the blanks from a self-edited list of 300,000-words. The last step is writing the clues. Once the Times accepts a puzzle, Haight said it can take up to three years before it’s published. When he was first starting out, Haight’s acceptance rate was slim, just 4 percent, but as he has improved in skill, it has risen to 15-20 percent. So far, he’s had puzzles published in the Times every day of the week except Saturday, which is always among the hardest puzzles of the week to solve. “The Saturday puzzle in the New York Times is a dream,” he said. Haight said his goal is to get 50 to 75 puzzles published in the Times, which he said would make him among the top 30 crossword constructors in the world. That won’t be easy. “As I get better, so do other people around the world,” he said. “It’s twice as difficult now to get one published than it was three years ago.” Crosswords haven’t just enriched Haight’s life, he said they’ve also been a boon to his business. “I give out about a dozen crosswords a day to interested patients of mine,” he said. “Sometimes a patient will come in for an eye exam and I can’t figure out why they came back so soon and it turns out they just want another crossword I designed.” Kragen writes for The San Diego-Union Tribune.

Because I Said So BY WENDY FAUCETT

Nothing more than feelings

“

When all is said and done, it does not matter how someone feels; what matters is how that individual treats other people.” ~ Dennis Prager Much of what I’ve read and seen lately in the news regarding the coddled college students disturbs me for one crucial reason. Parents and teachers have taught these children to believe that their feelings are the most important thing in the world, and that they have every right to express them in any way that will make them “feel” better. They expect others to treat them with their precious feelings utmost in mind. They play victim to their feelings. “I can’t possibly take that test/write that paper/go to work/etc. because I am too distraught.” There’s a name for people

who believe that what they feel is more important than anything and anyone else, people who are smug and self-centered: narcissists. In a very real way, it is not these young adults who are at fault. Our public education system has fully bought into the feelings-matter philosophy. The emphasis on “self-esteem” from preschool through 12 grade is constant. Note that self-esteem is defined as admiration for oneself and you can see the error in this attitude. Ask any recent high school graduate whether they believe that their feelings are of paramount importance and the answer will be a resounding “yes.” That the Poway Unified School District offers parenting classes regularly which encourage this viewpoint is evident in

their class schedule. This year’s offerings include “Active Parenting of Teens” in which you will learn that it’s not your teen’s fault that they’re unpleasant – they are simply victims of their hormones and developing brain. There’s the always popular “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen” where you’ll learn and practice ways to listen to, acknowledge, name and fantasize about your child’s particular issue. According to the authors of the book of the same name, “When kids feel right, they’ll behave right” and by “accepting their feelings, we help them feel right.” There’s also a special program for parenting the gifted child (aren’t they all?) where you will learn all kinds of special strategies for your special child (again, aren’t they all?).

Please don’t misunderstand me. I firmly believe in allowing your children to tell you what they’re feeling. And I firmly believe in teaching them the names for their feelings. What I firmly disbelieve is the notion that, through paying (much too much) attention to their feelings, we help them learn how to manage their emotions. Remember, children are the original drama factories. Much of the time, their feelings are silly. It’s our job to teach them that their feelings are a distant second to moral and appropriate behavior. So listen, acknowledge and name their feelings when they’re little. And then move on with your day, with no more conversation about the incident. But if your child is throwing the tantrum of the century on the grocery store floor, skip all those steps and take charge. Because, really, what a child needs is parents who will keep her safe (even from herself) and give her boundaries in their quest to give the world a good citizen.

Planning board to vote on liquor license, resident petitions BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The Rancho Bernardo Planning Board will be voting on several items during its meeting tonight (Thursday). These include a liquor license, all-way stop and the Westwood parking restriction petition. The 6:30 p.m. meeting in the RB Swim & Tennis Club, 16955 Bernardo Oaks Drive, will also be the last opportunity for those interested in being candidates in the board’s March 16 election to fulfill the meeting requirement. All candidates must have documented attendance at an entire board meeting within the last 12 months. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and be property owners (do not need to live in RB, just own property), renters and RB business persons. Applications — due by the Feb. 16 meeting — are posted at RBPlanningBoard.com. For questions, contact Sherry Guthrie at sguthrie@sbcglobal.net or Sonny Googins at sonnygoogins@yahoo.com. As for the voting items: • Painting with a Twist, at 16397 Bernardo Center Drive, will have representatives present their business plan and proposal for a liquor license. • A resident has requested an all-way stop at the intersection for Duenda Road and Corazon Place in Westwood.

Per an evaluation by the city’s Transportation and Stormwater Department it met nine of the 20 points to meet the criteria. However, a city-recognized group can attempt to make the request via an alternative process. If the planning board approves the request, the next step would be to seek approval from City Councilman Mark Kersey. • The board will again consider the Westwood parking petition that, if approved by the city, would create a two-hour parking limit between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Botero Drive, Poblado Road between Botero Drive and Capilla Road (inclusive of cul-de-sacs) and Oculto Road (inclusive of cul-de-sacs). At least 75 percent of households on the impacted streets have requested the restriction that would apply to them as well as those from the Waterbridge condos who use the streets for overnight parking. The board was to vote on this in December, but tabled the item since no residents representing the impacted streets, Waterbridge residents who are parking in Westwood due to insufficient parking within their condo complex or other concerned residents were present. The full agenda can be found at RBPlanningBoard.com.

Bookin’ It 5K postponed to Feb. 26 The fourth annual Bookin’ It 5K Run/Walk and Wellness Expo scheduled for this Sunday has been postponed to Sunday, Feb. 26 due to anticipated wet weather in the coming days, organizers announced on Tuesday. The event was to be held at Rancho Bernardo Community Park and on the adjacent dirt trails within San Dieguito River

Park. Proceeds from the event will go to the Rancho Bernardo High School Friends of the Library to support various needs. Those who would like to register as a participant or a non-participating Bronco Virtual Runner can go to BookinItForTheBroncos5K.com for fees and other information.

FROM STORMS, A1 Forecasters said the rain will taper off through the daytime hours Saturday, but could return late that night. They predict the third storm will move in Sunday and could produce on-and-off precipitation until early Tuesday. If the weather unfolds as expected, “San Diego (city) could reach or come close to its annual rainfall (total) by early next week,” said Brett Albright, a weather service forecaster. San Diego averages about 10 inches of precipitation per year. Since the rainy season began on Oct. 1, San Diego International Airport — the official weather station for the city — has recorded 5.96 inches of rain, which is about an inch above normal. The weather service said in an advisory that

“Unlike the last series of storms, the storm track later this week will be suppressed far enough south across the Pacific to include far southwestern California in periods of moderate to briefly heavy precipitation. Little recovery time is expected between systems. “This will be the first time since 2010 (that) the developing weather pattern will have the potential to create an extended period of enhanced runoff into area streams and main-stem rivers.” The agency added: “After the first and second storms, the soils will likely have little capacity to absorb much more rain, with most of it becoming runoff. There will be the possibility of flash flooding, especially with the stronger systems this (coming) weekend and early next week. Robbins writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM NOMINATIONS, A1 Nominations cannot include any service or leadership that was religious or political in nature, or for which payment was received. Eligible organizations include “those designed to serve others in RB, enhance the quality of life in RB, improve health or education in RB, or

foster the civic or cultural life of RB,” per the nomination criteria. The 2017 inductees will be announced in April. For questions, contact Robin Kaufman at Rbns1nest@aol.com or Jane Radatz at jradatz@att.net or 858-485-5449.

FROM HOMELESS, A1 coordinator for Interfaith Shelter Network, those accepted in the program typically receive shelter for six to eight weeks. By then, they are expected to have secured other housing via assistance provided through the program, though a brief extension is permissible on a case-by-case basis. He said the program opens in mid- to late-October and this year is to close on April 8. In its first three decades it has helped 9,250 people and provided 245,000 bed nights. Last year it helped 238 guests, provided 8,725 bed nights, had 4,150 volunteers and provided 26,000 meals, Zucconi said. Over the years he has seen its guests’ demographics change, starting with homeless men and now encompassing homeless families with members of all ages. All program participants are screened by a local social service agency to make sure there are no active drug, alcohol or mental health problems. While in the program they receive job counseling and other assistance — such as help filing for Social Security or disability benefits, if eligible — so they can get into permanent housing, he said. “They work with an ongoing case manager to develop an individual case plan and set a series of goals ... to get a steady income and more permanent housing,” Zucconi said. The network, now in its 31st year, was based on a program in New York City, he said. It originated with the San Diego Regional Task Force for Homeless and later was taken over by the San Diego Ecumenical Council. Eventually the countywide Interfaith Shelter Network became a self-sustaining 501(c)3 corporation, funded through grants and tax-deductible donations. The Rotational Shelter Program is one of a few it operates. To operate each winter, the program relies on a network of more than 120 faith congregations

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

Ana Alvord and Brigitte Ponce, coordinators of St. Michael’s project with Interfaith Shelter Network, filling toiletry bags with items donated by parishioners for the parish’s homeless guests before arrival. representing all denominations. Around 70 of the congregations host up to 12 guests each for two to four weeks, while the rest provide other assistance, such as meals and supplies. Zucconi said the Poway/Rancho Bernardo area is in the North County Coastal network and in addition to St. Michael’s and San Rafael, other area faith communities that have been a host site include St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Incarnation Lutheran Church and Temple Adat Shalom, all in Poway. Others in this network are in Escondido and San Marcos. Even though religious communities are hosts and their members interact with the guests during their stay, Zucconi said they are not allowed to apostolize in any way. If guests request to attend their hosts’ religious services, they are welcome to do so. Pastoral counseling is also

available if guests request it. Alvord said more than 70 St. Michael’s parishioners are helping, doing everything from setting up room dividers and cots in its Holy Family Center, to building temporary showers in its restrooms, cooking dinner each night, providing laundry service and being on-site chaperones. Parishioners also donated toiletries and items to make their guests feel welcome. These included small toys for the children. Ponce said each weekday parishioners transport the guests to Interfaith Community Services in Escondido — if they do not have a vehicle — for their assistance counseling. They return each evening, receive dinner prepared by volunteers and can relax. Each morning they are given breakfast. During the weekend they may come and go as they please. The children are welcome

to use St. Michael’s playground and arrangements have been made to provide extras, such as a hairstylist and nurse if checkups are needed. “It’s really a huge operation,” Ponce said. Zucconi said school-age children are expected to attend school. Ponce said one guest family found it hard to get its children to school in Vista, so San Rafael volunteers helped them get the youngsters enrolled in Poway Unified since they will be in this area for at least six weeks. Ponce said the shelter project is part of St. Michael’s Corporal Works of Mercy program, which she directs. “We were focused on projects abroad, but wanted the parish to get involved locally, in our own backyard to help those who are suffering and need a hand,” she said, explaining the program is based on Matthew 25, which says whenever one feeds the hungry, gives drink to the thirsty, provides clothes or shelter to those in need, looks after the sick or visits those in prison, they do it for the Lord. “The point is to grow as givers in our parish,” she said. The program now has five components. In addition to the shelter, it operates a young adult mission program to build homes in Columbia, Haiti and the Philippines plus supports schools in those countries; provides prosthetic limbs to the poor in Tijuana and supports a Tijuana orphanage. Ponce said St. Michael’s is the wealthiest parish in the Diocese of San Diego and its parishioners have been “so wonderful” in helping with the projects. “What we ask for we get usually,” she said. Zucconi said any faith community that would like to be a host site or any organization that would like to assist in other ways can contact him at 619-702-5399 or billz@interfaithshelter.org. For more about its programs, go to interfaithshelter.org.

How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.

Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.

Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.

The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.

Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.

This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.

Hearing Problem #3 The Cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.

Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.

About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

The NuEar NowTM is a tiny new device that can be programmed to amplify only missing consonant sounds, stimulating the high-frequency hair cells all while programmed to ignore the rest. The brain of this smart new device is a microprocessor chip that analyses and clariﬁes sound according to its frequency. Using a technology called Live Speech Mapping, the specialist adjusts the high frequency speech sounds like a woman’s voice until they are clearer. The prescription is set as you watch and listen, letting you hear any immediate before and after beneﬁts of this device.

Trump in his prayers In response to Gina Zanolinis’s Jan. 12 letter that responded to Dick Lyles’ column on Jan. 5, I too was stunned to read that anyone could be aware of Donald Trump’s actions and still think he will be a good leader for our country. On top of conducting himself like a narcissistic bully, he destroyed everything and everyone in his path to get elected. He lies profusely, right in front of the entire world. He is a master manipulator and will be a very dangerous commander-in-chief for our country. He might very well put our country in harm’s way and/or start World War III. I plan to keep him and our country in my prayers. I hope all of those of you that love our country as much as I, will join me and pray for our country and world peace. Thank you, Gina Zanolini, for speaking up. Ren Daniels Rancho Bernardo

Lyles is the one ‘stuck’ I have learned to avoid reading Dick Lyles in your paper. However, the headline on his Jan. 5 column, “Unstuck from Stupidity,” was sufficiently intriguing that I continued reading. One might have hoped that Mr. Lyles was describing his own liberation from being “stuck in the mud.” Alas, his interpretation of the November election results, as ushering in a new age where “common sense” prevails, with a president-elect who has “turned the tables on unfettered (and stupid) political correctness,” is one with which a majority of his fellow citizens would strongly disagree. It is not just laughable, but seriously unhinged, to suggest, as Mr. Lyles writes, that “the first social media president” is indeed one who can “bring a proper balance that unites rather than divides, and sows love rather than hate.” Is the shoe not on the other (small) foot? If memory serves, it was candidate Trump (whose name is buried deep in this misleading column) and not the “elites of both parties,” who spewed and continues to tweet insults and engaged in “abusive, divisive and demeaning” behavior throughout his so-called campaign. It will be interesting to observe how long it will take, if ever, for Mr. Lyles to arrive at a more intelligent (or, to us his own term, “less stupid”) conclusion. Beverly B. Salem Rancho Bernardo

OPINION

Lyles is a ‘hater’ In his Jan. 5 column, Dick Lyles vilifies those with whom he disagrees. He calls them “... the most forceful haters. Their abusive, divisive, and demeaning behavior is insulting to our culture.” This accusation is part of a diatribe in which Lyles rants and raves about his pet bugbears, such as “political correctness.” He uses the words “stupid” or “stupidity” nine times to characterize people who disagree with him. Is this what civil discourse in a community newspaper has come to? Calling people “stupid?” Maybe Lyles thinks he looks smart SEE LETTERS, A17

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

Bill targets gun permits

ne of the more interesting political struggles for the foreseeable future will be the battle over gun rights. A skirmish that will be interesting to watch is an initiative designed to address the nation’s confusing patchwork of reciprocity laws that define which permits from other states each state will recognize. Earlier this month, Congressman Richard Hudson from North Carolina introduced The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, which allows lawful firearm carriers from any state to carry a concealed firearm in any other state. The concept of reciprocity makes a lot of sense and has worked well in other areas. For example, even though each state controls the issuance of driver’s licenses, all states honor driver’s licenses from each of the other states. Marriage licenses from each state are also recognized throughout the 50 states. Even though traffic laws vary from state to state, every driver must obey the laws in whichever state they choose to drive. The same concept is written into the Hudson Bill regarding concealed carry. Every person who carries in a different state will have to obey the laws of that state. Twenty-two states either already have national reciprocity laws that recognize all other concealed carry licenses or they simply allow law-abiding non-residents to carry firearm without a license. Those states have some of the lowest gun violence and crime rates in the nation. It only makes sense to seriously consider making concealed carry reciprocal on a national scale. Eighteen states recognize the concealed carry licenses of some other states. A mere 10 states stubbornly refuse to grant full faith and credit to licensees from other states. This means that law-abiding citizens with legal permits must surrender their rights when entering these states. It is one thing to say a person must conform to concealed carry laws when they travel in different states. It’s like saying you must obey our traffic laws if you drive here. It’s another thing entirely

to say people must abandon their right completely. That’s like saying when you drive into our state you’ll have to abandon your car at the state line and hop on a bicycle or order an Uber. The proposed legislation has already inspired predictable opposition from opponents of concealed carry. For example, one anti-carry website claimed the bill would “allow dangerous individuals – including convicted criminals, domestic abusers and stalkers – to legally carry guns in public.” Simply put, this is a lie. The proposed legislation allows a person to carry a concealed weapon only if: 1) they are not federally prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm; 2) they are carrying a valid, government issued, photo ID; and 3) are lawfully licensed or otherwise entitled to carry a handgun (for example, sworn law enforcement). Another major factor that complicates any legislative action regarding guns is money. Similar to the way civil rights or abortion laws have created their own industries, gun laws have also created their own industry. Too many people who have too much at stake financially now work as gun lobbyists and gun control advocacy groups to allow for straightforward, rational discussion of the issues. It’s time we simply looked at the facts pertaining to these issues and made rational decisions in response to those facts. All Americans would benefit from the passage and implementation of practical laws regarding gun ownership and the rights of citizens to bear arms such as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. By passing such groundbreaking legislation, Congress will also lay the groundwork for passing similar legislation in other areas of concern where emotion tends to overshadow rational thinking. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author. Reader comments, though letters to the editor, are encouraged. Email them toeditor@pomeradonews.com.

FROM LETTERS, A16 because his friends agree with him, but, to the rest of us, this kind of writing comes off as morally and intellectually bankrupt. Do the sentiments expressed in his columns describe how he feels about other members of his community, his neighbors and the people who sit next to him in church? If Lyles wants to see a concrete example of a “forceful hater,” he should take a good look at his own columns. His words are abusive, divisive, insulting and contribute only to a culture of hate.

A MONTH TO REMEMBER PHS grad Newman gets invite to spring training

BAREFOOT MEMORIES

The Maranatha Christian boys soccer team celebrates with its coach, David Cabral, after he collected win No. 100 in his career.

BY TERRY MONAHAN

Preps

ike a lot of boys who get their first mitt and play catch with their dad in the backyard, Kevin Newman’s dream was to become a major league baseball player one day. Two years after being the 19th pick in the draft out of the University of Arizona, the former Poway High shortstop is headed to his first spring training camp with a major league team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Newman, who graduated from Poway in 2012, received the call from the organization on Jan. 9. “When you get drafted, you immediately have expectations,’’ Newman said from Florida where he is working out in preparation for the Feb. 16 reporting date in Bradenton. “I’ve hoped all along that the work, time and effort have been enough to get me to the majors. “Some of the guys in my draft class have already made it to the big leagues. I’ve played against some of them in the minors. It’s kind of cool to see them in the bigs.’’ Especially through the eyes of a major leaguer, like the 6-foot-1, 180-pound Newman. Just a few short weeks ago, Newman, 23, became engaged to Shayne Austin of Los Angeles. “It’s been a pretty fortunate couple of weeks,’’ Newman said. After his game against Jupiter back on May 26, 2016, Newman is fortunate his baseball career was still intact. While playing for Brandenton in the Florida State League, Newman, rated by ESPN’s Keith Law as the No. 19 prospect in baseball, was struck in the face by a pitch that night in the eighth inning, suffering a fractured orbital bone that forced him to the sidelines for a few weeks.

Eagles' soccer coach collects career win No. 100 BY MICHAEL BOWER David Cabral has won two league championships and has reached the San Diego Section playoffs in six of the last seven years as the Maranatha Christian boys soccer coach. Naturally, it took lots of winning to accomplish those feats. On Jan. 13, the Eagles’ boys soccer team put Cabral in an elite category — the 100-win club. The Eagles beat Foothills Christian 7-0, improving Cabral’s record to 100-61-18 over his 10 years as head coach. It was the the third win of this season for Maranatha, who was slated to open Pacific League Wednesday against La Jolla Country Day before hosting Escondido Charter at 4 p.m. on Friday. Cabral’s most successful season as head coach at Maranatha came in 2011-2012 when the Eagles went 17-2-2 overall. That year they won the Frontier North League championship with an 8-1-1 record. Last year was another strong one for the Eagles, as they went 15-3-4 overall and finished in second place in the Pacific League. The Eagles left no doubt in Cabral’s 100th career victory, scoring four goals in the first half before breezing to victory. Jake Brambila and Matthew Schumacher each scored twice to pace the offense.

Prep Boys Basketball

Eagles back on the rise after falling on tough times Program has not had winning season since 2011 BY TERRY MONAHAN His first season as the boys basketball coach at Maranatha Christian was highly rewarding. The Eagles finished tied for second place in the Frontier League North after having won the league championship the four previous seasons and posted a 17-6 overall record. Life at the small school was great for coach Brooks Barnhard. But the next four seasons fell far short. Maranatha Christian went 12-14, 14-14, 14-15 and 6-19 before a surge this season has caused people to see basketball as a fun sport on campus again. And winning six of the last seven games has only helped to increase the frenzy around the program that is now 10-6 for the season. “The success we’re having will help us sell the program to the younger kids at this school,’’ Barnhard said. “Hopefully, they’ll fall in love with the team and develop a desire to start playing basketball at their school.’’ An influx of four transfers bolstered this year’s team. Three of the newcomers top the team in scoring.

Maranatha Christian's Alex Buffini goes up for a dunk during a game earlier this season. On a team that averages 58.6, the foursome averages 49.5 points per game. Phillip Willis, a junior who came from Horizon, leads the team with a 16.4 scoring average followed by senior Alex Buffini with a 14.6 average, junior Micaiah Boettner at 11.6 and junior Adam Buffini at 6.9. Willis also pulls down 8.6 rebounds a game, second only to Alex Buffini with a 12.4 average.

Boettner leads the team with 68 assists. “I’ve tried to keep things as simple as possible,’’ said Barnhard, a second-team All-CIF center at Escondido in 1989. “It’s been fun to raise the bar a bit this year. My biggest fear is that after these guys all graduate next year we’ll be back in the same shape we’ve been in the last few years. Hopefully, the community sees the growth in the SEE EAGLES, B4

Broncos' Sands willing to put it all on line to defend goal Senior defender has overcome numerous injuries throughout prep career BY TERRY MONAHAN Despite a rash of injuries, Sierra Sands would never think of leaving the soccer field at Rancho Bernardo High without returning. The 5-foot-2 defender has overcome a concussion, a strained knee, torn ligaments in her ankle and a gash over her eyebrow in a collision with another player that required six stitches during her playing career. “Two years ago, in a club tournament game in Las Vegas I went for a header and the girl hit me in the head,’’ Sands recalled. “My teammates kept telling me not to touch it, but there was blood pouring onto my hands. I stayed pretty calm. I freak out if the blood is someone else’s blood.’’ Staying calm is vital for Sands to be the solid defender she has become. Her size has never been a problem, especially against much taller attackers. “She’s the best defender on the team,’’ Broncos coach Mark Sidebottom said. “She’s like a pit bull out there. She’ll stand up to you at any time. No one is as determined to make plays as she is.’’ To Sands, if you happen to be an opposing player, no matter how tall you are, if you venture near the Broncos’ goal then you have to deal with her. That usually ends badly for the other player. “My size and quickness are an asset against a taller girl,’’ Sands said. “You can’t freak out. Defenders can’t do that because there is such a small margin of error.’’ That is how it’s always been for Sands. Even when she started playing soccer at the age of 4, mostly because older brother Preston was playing, defense has been her home. Along the way, she found a way to make it all work for her. By the time she was 6 and began playing competitively, she still wanted to defend the goal.

“When I need to get aggressive, I do that,’’ Sands said. “I’ll take down an attacker if I have to. I have to defend my goal.’’ Sands is still awaiting to hear from a college, although she’s pretty sure she won’t be playing soccer after this current season the Broncos are off to a 6-3-2 start - as she heads off to be on her own for the first time. “I’m definitely ready for the next phase of life,’’ said Sands, who wants to major in film production or elementary teaching. “I’ll be going from RB where I know everyone to a college where I don’t know anyone. That’s nerve-wracking to be out of my comfort zone like that, but it’s important for me to not freak out and just do it.’’ When not playing soccer, Sands is a student leader for CRU, a Christian Youth Group that has a chapter on campus. Sands has also taken up photography alongside her dad as well as being the yearbook editor. Once a month, Sands is on Bronco TV with a news show. “Dad said one time he was blown away by what I photograph at a much lower level like I have at 5-2,’’ she said. “When I’m in a movie theater or watching people watch videos I always watch for their reactions to what I’ve done. I really like making memories for people come to life.’’ Monahan is a freelance writer

FROM NEWMAN, B1 He returned to the lineup and finished the season hitting .366 with three home runs and 24 RBIs in just 41 games. Counting 61 games for Altoona in the Eastern League to start the 2016 season, Newman batted .320 with five homers and 52 RBIs last summer. “The minors is definitely a grind,’’ Newman said. “The worst thing about the minor leagues are the long, long bus rides. The 3-4 hour bus rides are fine. The 9-10 hour rides get you. “I watch movies on my laptop and sleep, but it’s really hard to sleep on a bus, at least it is for me. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what we all signed up for. There’s nothing I would rather be doing than taking long bus rides to play baseball.’’ Now that those long bus rides of the last two summers has resulted in an invitation to the Pirates’ major league training camp, it’s all been worth it. Newman said he did not start calling the world when the Pirates called with the invitation other than calling his fiancé. His parents found out the next time they saw each other. “I gave a huge sigh of relief when I got off the phone,’’ Newman said. “I’d reached the goal I’ve had all along. I’m not ready for spring training yet. I only started hitting and throwing Jan. 1. As cool as this is, it’s still the same game. I have to remember that.’’ Newman has already experienced one of the staples of life in the major leagues. He’s signed autographs before. “Hopefully, the next kid who asks me will know who I am,’’ he said, laughing. By then, maybe all of Pirate Nation will know who Kevin Newman is.

“I tried to get some high Division III schools, but they don’t want to play a Division IV team like us,’’ Barnhard said. “It ruins their power rankings. So we’ve had to go after those teams by playing in the right tournaments like we have.’’ Maranatha’s next game comes Friday at Pacific Ridge to open Pacific League play. Barnhard is looking to compete for the league title and starting off with a road win would help kick-start that run. League play

concludes with a pair of home games against Calvin Christian (Feb. 14) and Tri-City Christian (Feb. 17) on Senior Night. “I feel in my heart that the league title will come down to those last two games,’’ Barnhard said. “That will make it all exciting and it will be a dogfight every night.’’ It has not been like that at Maranatha Christian for a long time. Monahan is a freelance writer.

program and will want to become a part of it.’’ Barnhard noted the team’s biggest wins this year have come against Christian and Santana with an overtime loss to Olympian on the books as well. Going 3-1 in the El Capitan Tournament helped fuel Barnhard’s desire to seek tougher opponents without much success.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds perform Saturday at PCPA Show starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets range from $22 to $54. BY EMILY SORENSEN Enjoy a night of rock and blues music with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, performing at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets for the Saturday night concert range from $22 to $54, with senior, student, military and youth discounts available. Tickets are available online at powaycenter.com, at the box office or by calling 858-748-0505. Box office hours are noon to 5 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The Fabulous Thunderbirds formed in Austin, Texas in 1974 and has been performing its signature mixture of blues and rock ever since. The current lineup includes original member Kim Wilson on vocals and harmonica, Johnny Moeller on guitar, Kevin Anker on keyboards, Steve Gomes on bass and Rob Stupka on drums. Wilson said their concert on Saturday will have a lot of energy and will provide a new experience for the audience, even longtime fans, as they

do not use a set list and no show is ever the same. “I don’t like set lists,” said Wilson. “I don’t like having my hands tied. (The audience will) get old songs, new songs and everything in between, even some stuff the band hasn’t heard

before.” Best known for several 1980s hits, including “Tuff Enuff” and “Wrap it Up,” Wilson has maintained both his career in the Fabulous Thunderbirds and a solo career over the decades, touring extensively and performing on

over 100 records, both his own and those of fellow musicians, including Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and Buddy Guy. “I lost count awhile back,” said Wilson. The band released its latest album, “Strong Like That,” in 2016. He said he is planning on releasing a new solo blues album in the first quarter of 2017, which will be very traditional blues. “It’s the first of many (albums) coming,” said Wilson. He chose the songs for this album from between 400 and 500 tracks. “I’ve been getting more into the singing part of it,” he said. “I’ve done so much harmonica it’s ridiculous. I have to change it up.” Wilson said that when he isn’t recording and touring, it’s nice to be able to kick back and do nothing at his Laguna Nigel home. The Fabulous Thunderbirds kick off a year of performances in the first half of 2017 in Poway OnStage’s Professional Performance concert series. Upcoming events include performances by Jose Feliciano on Feb. 18, the Irish Rovers on March 9, Andy McKee and Celino Romero on April 8, Taj Express on April 23, the Doo Wop Project on April 29, and Back to the Garden on May 20.

Going Nuts Over Seeds — Part 2

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, ﬁreplace or stove.”

hen I was growing up, chia pets were all the rage. As a gag for my Sweet 16 birthday, one of my friends gave me a kitschy chia dog that magically grew a luxurious “fur” coat after I placed hundreds of tiny chia seeds on the canine’s bare body, and watered them religiously for several days. Today I still embrace those precious chia seeds, but now I sprinkle them on everything from acai bowls, smoothies and hot cereals to green salads, pastas, and stir fries, along with blending them in pancakes, scones, muffins and quick breads to dial up flavor, texture and add a nutritional oomph. The chia plant or chia sage botanically known as Salvia hispanica, a native of the Mexican central valley, and staple of the Aztec and Mayan diets for thousands of years, has ironically transformed into a trendy new superfood of the Western world. The petite, elliptically-shaped black seed has Herculean powers, especially being hydrophilic. Having the ability to absorb more than 10 times its weight in water makes this potent oilseed both hydrating for athletes and healthful for diabetics as it puts the skids on the rate at which carbs are converted into sugars. Soaked in almond, soy or coconut milk for an hour, the wondrous seeds form a gelatinous mixture that makes a refreshing fresca or indulgent pudding. There’s more. Having a rich store of vitamins, minerals, proteins, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, this translates to multiple benefits for mind, body and soul. Feeling sluggish and logy? Chia seeds boost energy and enhance your work-out regimen. Have brittle bones and chalky teeth? Chia seeds are a calcium powerhouse beating out milk by a long shot. Your ticker need tweaking? Chias reduce inflammation, bad cholesterol and blood pressure levels to keep the heart and constitution humming. Want to shed some holiday pounds? These slimming seeds regulate digestion and slow down food absorption. As an added boon, they’re gluten-free with a heap of antioxidants to ward off harmful and aging free radicals. At last, the high fatty acid profile lubricates brain cells to keep you sharp and alert. Hearty and stable, chias have a long shelf life, unlike flax seeds that turn rancid quickly if not stored in a cool, dark place. Another seed-related flashback to my youth relates to buckwheat, which my grandmother sautéed with onions and mushrooms, and tossed with little bow tie pastas (recipe provided) as a side dish for chicken, brisket or fish. The kernels would perfume her kitchen with a distinct earthiness, so strong it would trail out the door. Once considered an ethnic dish popularly served at delis and other Jewish eateries, buckwheat is making a culinary conversion, becoming part of the mainstream repertoire of chefs coast to coast. Of ancient Central Asian origins, buckwheat is a misnomer, since it is neither a

CATHARINE KAUFMAN

Seeds can offer a variety of health benefits.

Kasha Varnishkes ■ Ingredients (Serves 4): • 1 cup buckwheat (kasha), whole or coarse • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 sweet onion, diced • 1 cup mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, your choice), sliced • 1 large egg, beaten • 2 cups broth (chicken, vegetable or mushroom) • 1 cup (cooked, drained) whole-wheat bow tie pasta (farfalle) ■ Method: Heat oil on medium in a covered saucepan and sauté onions and mushrooms until tender. In a mixing bowl, blend kasha, egg and seasoning. Add to saucepan. Cook on medium until groats separate. Add broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covering pot until liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes). Toss in pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley.

wheat, grass nor cereal grain, though its chewy texture rife with complex carbs earned it the moniker “pseudo-cereal.” A member of the rhubarb and sorrel family, buckwheat is a pyramid-shaped seed coated with a black hull. When the latter is removed, the kernel or groat is exposed, which can be ground into buckwheat flour to impart a nutty flavor to pancakes, breads or Japanese soba noodles. When prepared toasted and whole, the seed is commonly called “kasha,” enjoyed as a sweet breakfast cereal, tossed in salads to add a protein load for a complete meal, molded into toothsome vegetable burgers, or used as a filling for cabbage rolls or a rice substitute. Buckwheat contains a motherlode of gluten-free, anti-inflammatory nutrients, including vitamins B1 and B2 for metabolic functions and stress relief, iron and copper to pump up blood health, magnesium for normal muscle, nerve and bone function, and trace minerals, such as, phosphorous, zinc, and selenium to store energy and boost the immune system.

‘Winter’ comes to Poway park

oway’s Community Park was turned into a winter wonderland Friday night and Saturday as the city hosted the annual Winter Festival for thousands of participants. The popular event included free skating on the city’s artificial rink, a snow-covered sledding hill, arts and crafts, a free photo booth and food vendors. A special time was set aside on Saturday for adults and children with disabilities to enjoy some of the activities.

Families enjoyed the foam "snowfall" every 15 minutes.

The festival also provided indoor craft and photo activities. Lila, Karen and Caden Dougherty display their paper polar bear faces. A highlight of the Winter Festival was the opportunity to skate outdoors on an artificial surface.

Roasting marshmallows were Abigail, Robert and Caroline Lesagonicz.

Three generations on the skating surface: Cassiopeia Guthrie, Jasper Guthrie, and JJ Barlow.

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.

Komen head is retiring at year’s end SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The president and CEO of the breast cancer nonprofit Komen San Diego announced today that she'll retire at the end of this year. A survivor of the disease, Laura Farmer Sherman began volunteering for Komen 13 years ago, became a paid employee in 2007 and was named to her leadership role two years later. Komen funds research into breast cancer and programs to help patients and their families in San Diego, like providing free mammograms to women who are uninsured or under-insured. “Komen San Diego has had the most impact in saving lives right here in San Diego, and my passion for the mission will continue until my last breath,” Farmer Sherman said. “My proudest accomplishments have been the bringing a variety of community partners together to help fund lifesaving research, as well as help the women and men in our county who rely on Komen San Diego's free breast cancer services and support for every step of their breast cancer journey,” she said. The organization's board of directors has begun a nationwide search for her successor, and hope to have that person on the job by Sept. 1 to allow for a smooth transition. “We want to thank Laura for the 10 years of remarkable leadership she has provided to Komen San Diego,” said Irene Oberbauer, board chairwoman. “Under her nurturing guidance, the organization has raised more than $15 million for local organizations providing everything from breakthrough research funding and free mammograms and diagnostic services to financial help, meal delivery, transportation and more to cover every step of the breast cancer treatment journey for uninsured and underinsured people in San Diego.”

Report: Airbnb generated $7M for San Diego SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Operations by online vacation rental broker Airbnb last year generated $7 million in tax revenue for the city of San Diego, the company announced Tuesday. According to an Airbnb report, the company remitted $175 million in hotel, tourist and occupancy taxes to more than 220 cities and communities around the world, compared to $42.6 million in taxes sent to 20 cities the previous year. “By partnering with Airbnb to create clear tax rules for home sharing, the 50 largest cities in the United States could have collected a total of $250 million in hotel, tourist and occupancy taxes from Airbnb in 2016 - up from $200 million estimated for 2015 due to the growth of our community in these cities,” the report said. According to the company, vacationers who stay in homes stay longer and spend more

money in the cities they visit. Tax revenue totals for other Airbnb partner cities included $19 million for San Francisco, $4 million for Portland, Oregon, and $3 million for Chicago. According to the report, Los Angeles collected $13 million in tax revenue even though collections didn't start until Aug. 1. Vacation rentals have been a controversial issue in San Diego, with neighbors complaining about overcrowding and noise from a growing number of properties set aside for visitors especially in beach neighborhoods. The San Diego City Council last year rejected a proposal to ban vacation rental properties in residential neighborhoods. The council instead directed city staff to develop a comprehensive set of regulations designed to allow such operations to continue while mitigating their impacts.

WOMEN HELP WOMEN’S CENTER The Women of the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo recently presented the Palomar Health Foundation $14,000, the proceeds from its annual fundraiser held to benefit the Jean McLaughlin Women’s Center at Palomar Medical Center Poway (former Pomerado Hospital). Since 2013, the group has raised a combined $38,511 for the women’s center.

Double heart attack survivor launches support group Bertha Verde was in the prime of life when two heart attacks hit her. The first one came just after she had wrapped up a boot camp exercise program. Now, a year and a half into her recovery, the 53-year-old Poway woman is launching a women’s heart disease support group at Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo in order to share the lessons she has learned while traveling along her health journey and to meet others who have navigated a similar path. “Over the past 18 months, I realized how important it is to connect with other women who share similar experiences,” said Verde, who recently completed a support group leader training program with WomenHeart, a national nonprofit coalition for women with heart disease. “Starting this group in San Diego provides a place for local women to share important heart health information that will empower them to take charge of their heart disease.” Scripps Health is a founding member of WomenHeart’s National Hospital Alliance, an organization that provides education and support to women living with heart disease. Through this partnership WomenHeart and Scripps offer San Diego women gender-sensitive cardiovascular care, educational materials, programs and support groups. The Rancho Bernardo group’s first meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo, located at 15004 Innovation Drive. The monthly meeting, held on the second Thursday of each month in the 4th floor administrative conference room,

Scripps cardiology patient Bertha Verde is leading a new women's heart support group that meets monthly at Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo. is free and open to women who are living with heart disease or have suffered a heart event. Meeting programs will vary from month to month. For example, experts will be invited to talk about different kinds of heart conditions, heart attack prevention, blood pressure, exercise and nutrition. The meetings also will include time for participants to network and share experiences. Cardiologist endorses support group “Support groups such as this one are a highly effective way to share experiences, increase knowledge and awareness, and

make peace with that is going on in one’s own life,” said Dr. Poulina Uddin, a board-certified cardiologist and one of four female physicians leading the new Scripps Women Heart Center at the John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion on the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus. The new center offers expert cardiology care for women by women. “Heart disease and heart attacks often goes undiagnosed and unrecognized in women, in part because classic risk factors aren’t always present and women actually can experience very different heart attack

symptoms – neck or jaw pain or fullness, and back pain -- than those experienced by men,” Uddin said. “By sharing their experiences with others, women can find they are not alone.” Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing more than 280,000 women in 2013, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet only 54 percent of women are aware of that fact. Silent threat of heart disease For many women, heart disease is a silent threat that goes undiagnosed until symptoms of a sudden heart attack, heart

failure or stroke surface. That’s what happened to Verde. She was home one night eating a bowl of vegetables when she started experiencing numbness in her left arm and pain in her neck that radiated into her teeth. Doctors determined she had suffered a heart attack due to complete blockage of her left anterior descending artery, which supplies blood to more than half of the heart muscle. Two stents were placed to open the artery. Further testing determined Verde suffered from spontaneous coronary artery dissection, an uncommon condition that happens when tears form in a heart blood vessel and block blood flow. The condition typically affects healthy women in their 40s and 50s who haven’t experienced signs of heart disease. A second heart attack struck her a week later. “I am pretty fit, so all of this came as a complete surprise to me,” she said. After her recovery, Verde started looking for other women who could relate to her experience. She found some resources online, but she wanted an outlet for connecting with women in her community. That’s when she decided to become a WomenHeart champion and to start a support group network in the north inland area of San Diego County. “It was definitely not an easy journey to recovery,” Verde said. “I want other women to know that they aren’t alone and that it is important for them to learn more about their condition before it is too late.”

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Lessons from two Kings

aptain Obvious here, reporting your world unquestionably changes this week. As this isn’t a political column, we’ll dispense with analyses of Mr. Trump’s psyche, positions and the rest. Let’s instead examine the ramifications of politics on your business’ marketing. Consider L.L. Bean. Its CEO apparently made excessive donations to the presidential campaign and sparked a boycott. To counter that, the president-elect tweeted his support and urged his followers to “Buy L.L. Bean.” I shan’t argue whether Mr. Trump’s supporters would have equally accepted Mr. Obama’s being perceived as a paid endorser. However, with our nation now firmly on an “Us vs. Them” footing, every business owner must actively compartmentalize politics and business strategies or risk negative reactions. It’s a fact that Linda Bean’s illegal contributions drew high-levels of (assumedly unwanted) attention to her brand. Should this boycott actually take hold, she should remember that: • Her company’s primary objective is to increase sales • “Liberal money” is as good as “conservative money” • Prior to the announcement of Ms. Bean’s political activities, customers rarely cared about her views

Put another way, playing outside the rules may risk her company’s fortunes. I’d never suggest remaining silent regarding issues in which you believe. My friends and business associates cut across the political spectrum, and our discussions, when held respectfully, can be both lively and entertaining. After all, as Dr. King observed; “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” However, whenever you’re gloating because your side won, I guarantee some customers are reconsidering buying from you. It’s a rule that applies around every election and political issue we’ll face from this day forward. So stand up for what you believe in. Get involved, donate, march and vote. Then remember the words of Rodney King, who famously asked “Can’t we all just get along?” It’s a critical question that every business owner must consider as we shift gears and move into the Age of Trump. Therefore, with the transfer of power atop everyone’s mind, recognize that not everyone shares your views. And appreciate that, unlike Bean, we can’t all count on President Trump to tweet in our defense. Then mind your tongue and your manners. After all, your primary objective still remains increasing your sales. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Betty Ford San Diego aims to bring hope, healing BY KAREN BILLING The new Betty Ford Center San Diego in Carmel Valley held a ribbon cutting celebration on Jan. 11. The outpatient treatment clinic on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley hopes to help more people get the care they need, close to home with convenient daytime and evening programming and services that support recovery. The center will offer family education workshops, mental health services and programs that target teens and opioid use. For the last three weeks the center has already been “up and thriving”— a 12-step meeting had been held earlier that day. “We are opening up a beautiful new space of healing and hope here in the San Diego area as part of the mission of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation,” said Mark Mishek, president and CEO of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. “It’s here in Southern California that Betty Ford entered her life of recovery and we’re here to really celebrate and extend the legacy of Mrs. Ford and all of the tremendous and courageous things that she did. We’re here to honor that and to serve more people under her watchful eye.” The nation’s largest nonprofit treatment provider, the foundation has roots back to 1949 in Hazelden’s first rehab facility in a Minnesota farmhouse and the first Betty Ford Center was opened in 1982. There are currently 17 sites in nine states. The Betty Ford Center in Coachella Valley is world-renowned and Mishek said they hope the center in San Diego becomes the same kind of strong institution. The center, located on the second floor, includes a large conference room, as well as small meeting rooms and private counseling offices. Touches of San Diego are noted in the artwork and in a Torrey Pines glass mural that marks the conference room and hallway. A portrait of Betty Ford hangs in the spacious lobby. Brian Couey, director of outpatient services, said the message at the core of the facility is one of hope and in their ability to help transform lives and communities. “We are all painfully aware of the opioid crisis and it continues to have a devastating impact on

The entrance to the new Betty Ford Center in Carmel Valley. this community and the nation,” Couey said. In response, the Betty Ford Foundation developed the innovative COR-12, a Comprehensive Opioid Response program with the 12 steps. Couey said the holistic approach, which includes a medication-assisted rehab to ease withdrawal, has a proven track record of keeping patients engaged. Over the past several years, patients are increasingly coming to them at a much-younger age. Couey said that, at the center, the team specializes in an individual program for teens. Jim Steinhagen, vice president southwest region and Betty Ford Center administrator, said the goal from the beginning was to be a community partner and they found one in Scripps Health Network. Scripps has merged its treatment center into theirs and they opened with 10 staff members from Scripps now a part of the Betty Ford family. Steinhagen said they are the group that will work the “magic” under the leadership of Couey and he hopes that the center will be a tribute to the Betty Ford Center, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. “Betty Ford’s legacy includes her courage and commitment to advocacy, she broke down the barriers of stigma and paved the way for people to walk through the doors of community-based facilities such as this one in San Diego,” Steinhagen said. To learn more, visit HazeldenBettyFord.org/SanDiego or call (858) 766-9980, 1-866-831-5700 (24 hours). The center is located at 11720 El Camino Real, suite 200, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130.

Souplantation restaurants are sold BY LORI WEISBERG Rancho Bernardo-based Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp., which owns the Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes restaurants, will sell its assets to a New York private investment firm as part of its bankruptcy restructuring plan. The sale, which was approved in bankruptcy court on Jan. 9, is expected to be completed by late January. Garden Fresh said that that once it emerges from Chapter 11 later this month, the restaurants remaining will total between 90 and 104. No significant changes to its day-to-day operations are anticipated, said Garden Fresh, which operates more than 100 company-owned restaurants in 11 states. At the time of last year’s bankruptcy filing, Garden Fresh received the court’s approval to close 20 restaurants, including its stores in Utah and Kansas City, as well as multiple locations in Chicago and Dallas. The company didn’t

anticipate then that it would need to close any of its Southern California locations. "This challenging, but necessary, process has created a stronger financial foundation," said John Morberg, Garden Fresh CEO. "Through our partnership with new owners, we plan to accelerate the guest-focused efforts we've been making to refresh our brands." Purchasing Garden Fresh are affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., which has more than $30 billion invested in companies across multiple sectors throughout the world. Started in 1978, Garden Fresh originated as a single, San Diego Souplantation location, and in 1986, expanded to the broader Southern California region, which continues to remain the core of the business. In 1990, the company expanded, adding a Palm Harbor, Fla., location under a separate brand name, Sweet Tomatoes. Weisberg writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

December regional home sales plummet Shrinking inventories blamed SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The number of residential real estate sales in the region plummeted last month in the face of shrinking inventories, the San Diego Association of Realtors reported. In December, 1,781 single-family homes changed ownership in San Diego County, 8 percent fewer than in November and 11 percent below the level of December 2015. The median sales price of a house last month was $572,190, up 2 percent from the prior month and 8 percent higher than the same period the previous year. The plunge in sales was more pronounced for attached homes like condominiums and townhouses. SDAR data shows 859 condos changed hands in December, a 14 percent drop from November and a 21 percent drop from December 2015. The median condo price last month was $367,000. That's 1 percent above the month before, or $2,000 per sale, and 4 percent above the price tag in December 2015. Prospective `` home buyers and real estate professionals are challenged by low inventory levels and higher competition for those fewer properties,'' said SDAR President Bob Kevane. But ` ` we are as busy as ever, and opportunities abound for those who are diligent in their home search.'' The supply of resale homes on the market slipped to one and a half months -- five to six months is considered a healthy level by the trade group. In 2016, the region's homes were on the market an average of 33 days, compared to 39 days for the year before. The most expensive property sold in the county last month was a 3,500- square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bath oceanfront estate in Del Mar, built in 2004, with a price of $18 million.

Making a successful offer in today’s housing market (StatePoint) Prospective homebuyers can get encouraged by the current market. Nearly 68 percent of homes sales today are to individual buyers compared to 53 percent in 2011 when investor and cash deals were at their peak. Still, competition for housing is hot. “In a competitive market, your offer may be one of many. But you can take steps to increase your chances of success,” says Chris Bowden, senior vice president of HomeSteps, the real estate sales division of Freddie Mac. The experts at HomeSteps and Bowden are offering homebuyers five important tips for making an offer in today’s market: • Understand your finances. While it’s not nearly as fun as house hunting, fully understanding your finances is critical to helping you determine your price limit and whether your budget can cover necessary upgrades, as well as monthly expenses for general upkeep and utilities, which can run hundreds of dollars monthly. • Act fast. When home inventory is low, the sooner you can make an offer, the better. Get pre-approved if you know you’ll need a mortgage to buy. It will help you act fast and make a confident offer. • Make a solid offer. A strong offer will be comparable with other sales and listings in the neighborhood. A licensed real estate agent who is active in the neighborhoods you’re considering will be instrumental in helping you put in a solid offer based on recent sales of similar homes, the condition of the house and what you can afford. Always ask the seller for a home warranty as part of your initial offer. That way, you’ll be covered if appliances or mechanicals fail or break down after you’re in the home. Set your offer apart from the competition by including a letter to the seller, or offer the seller the ability to rent back

METRO CREATIVE

When home inventory is low, the sooner you can make an offer, the better. their home for some period of time after closing. This can be your chance to connect beyond just dollars. Talk to your agent about other ways to make your offer resonate. • Prepare to negotiate. Be prepared for counteroffers. The two things most likely to be negotiated are the selling price and closing date. Given that, you’ll be glad you did your homework first to understand how much you can afford. Your agent will aid the negotiation process, giving you guidance on the counteroffer and making sure that the agreed-to contract terms are met. • Get a home inspection. Once you’ve signed the purchase contract, always get an independent home inspection so you know the true condition of the home. If the inspection uncovers undisclosed problems you can typically re-negotiate the terms or cancel the contract.
