The Rancho Bernardo community is rallying around the family of Karina Fares, a 12-year-old who died in an accident while on vacation. The Bernardo Heights seventh grader was the daughter of Keem Schultz-Fares and Shadi Fares, and older sister to 9-year-old Mark Fares. Karina died on Feb. 18 in Rancho Agua Viva, near Ensenada, Mexico. Her mother, Keem Schultz-Fares, said Karina had climbed a soccer goal post and was performing one of her gymnastics bars maneuvers when the accident occurred. She said the post tipped over and her daughter fell on her neck. “She was immediately gone,” Karina’s mother said. “She was living her life up to the last minute. She had a wonderful last day.” Schultz-Fares said that day included visiting with cousins and going on a family hike. “I can honestly say there was not a single thing she did not get to do,” Schultz-Fares said. “Everything was complete for her.”

soccer on Rancho Bernardo recreational and All-Star teams, was involved in her church’s youth group, in musical theater at school and in her school’s band. “She played the bassoon, which she taught herself to play,” SchultzFares said, adding her daughter received a “best improved musician” award in sixth grade for the effort. Karina also played the clarinet, flute, violin and piano. Prior to becoming a Bernardo Heights Middle School student, Karina attended Westwood Elementary, where she had been student body treasurer in 2012-13. Her current principal, Timothy Biland, notified Bernardo Heights families of her death on Saturday and said counselors would be available to students when they returned to campus this week after their February break. Friends have set up a Go Fund Me account for the family to help with funeral expenses — higher since Karina died in Mexico — and to assist with travel expenses for relatives coming from Egypt.

San Dieguito River Park staff have been working on restoring trails and natural habitats in the Rancho Bernardo area. But the public’s help is needed for their efforts to be successful and for a “very shy” little bird to survive. SDRP Resources and Trails Manager Jason Lopez said the Bernardo Bay Natural Area Trail Management Project is about halfway done. It includes the Piedras Pintadas and Bernardo Bay trails, West Bernardo Bicycle Path, David Kreitzer Lake Hodges Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge and other park areas on the south side of Lake Hodges. Combined, it is an open space of roughly 350 acres and home to some endangered or threatened species, including the coastal cactus wren, which he called “very shy,” and A female coastal cactus wren on Bernardo Mountain in 2014.

Property crime decreased by 33 percent in 4S Ranch last year, compared to 2013, according to statistics by the Automated Regional Justice Information System. The decline in 4S Ranch was mirrored by its neighbor to the east, Rancho Bernardo, which also experienced a sharp decline in property crimes during 2014. (For details, see the Feb. 19 article that can be found at www.PomeradoNews.com.) While the City of San Diego’s recent data posted on its police department website includes actual crimes committed and crimes per 1,000 residents — the latter a way to compare safety among its 125 communities — the ARJIS website only provides actual crime data for communities throughout the county. This includes 4S Ranch, an unincorporated community whose law enforcement is provided through the sheriff’s department. Overall, there were 121 crimes reported in 4S Ranch last year, 54 fewer than the 175 reported in 2013. Property crimes accounted for 109 of the incidents in 2014, down from the previous year’s 163. The most prevalent crime — and one with largest decrease — was theft, which went from 109 incidents in 2013 to 68 in 2014 (a decrease of 41). Last year the thefts were divided almost evenly between those over and under the $400 threshold, with those at or over $400 accounting for 35 of the thefts and those under for the other 33. In 2013, there were 49 thefts of items worth $400 or more and 60 under that amount. There were 20 residential burglaries last year, down from the 23 that occurred in 2013; and 14 commercial burglaries last year, six fewer than the 20 committed the year prior. There were also seven vehicles stolen, down from the 11 taken in 2013. 4S Ranch once again experienced 12 violent crimes, the same number it had in 2013. There were eight aggravated assaults (down from nine in 2013), three armed robberies both years and in 2014 there was one reported rape (none were reported in 2013).

Scouts collecting books for needy kids Rancho Bernardo Junior Girl Scouts are collecting new and gently-used children’s books so they can create a library for a lowincome preschool in Escondido. Troop 8907 is accepting book, monetary and other donations through March 31 to help children at Hickory Head Start Preschool. They will also be spending proceeds from their troop’s Girl Scout cookie sale — that is going on now — for items such as bookshelves and an area rug for the library. “When you are in preschool, it is likely your first time away from home and it is scary, so we would like to make the library as inviting and comfy as possible for these little kids,” said Junior Maddie Engblom. “As someone who loves reading, I know how fun it is to get new books, so I love that this library will help preschoolers have a

chance to choose from a large selection of books,” said Junior Lauren Crane. According to Maddie, the troop selected this topic as its Bronze Award project because of the members’ love of reading and desire to promote literacy in the community. She said not having enough access to books at an early age is the most common cause of illiteracy, so the Hickory library is their way of helping to remedy that. To donate books, money or other items, contact troop leader Kristen Crane at 858200-6527 or gs8907@gmail.com. Books can also be placed in collection boxes at Turtleback Elementary, 15855 Turtleback Road in Rancho Bernardo, and Canyon View Elementary, 9225 Adolphia Street in Rancho Penasquitos.

Wet weather this weekend, so turn off your sprinklers SAN DIEGO (CNS) —The recent rainfall and the potential of another storm over the upcoming weekend make this a great time for San Diegans to shut off their automatic lawn sprinklers, San Diego County Water Authority officials said Tuesday. “While these rainstorms are welcome, they will not break the serious drought conditions that exist statewide, and we need to continue to take advantage of these opportunities to reduce our use as much as possible,’’ said Mark Weston, a Poway resident and chairman of the Water Authority’s Board of Directors. Area residents have cut back on water use by nearly 30 percent in each of the last two months, compared to the same period the previous year, according to water officials. The 2015 allocation from the State Water Project -- an important source for San Diego County -- is set at only 15 percent of requested supplies, according to the SDCWA. The figure may fluctuate up or down depending on precipitation over the next few months.

SUPER BOWLERS — A small but enthusiastic group participated in the Ed Brown Senior Center’s second annual “SuperBOWL” fundraiser at Poway Fun Bowl on Feb. 11.

Locally-based Company Allows Moms to Make Money While Working From Home For 15 years, Jennifer Becker worked in the corporate world. But after becoming a mom, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home with her daughters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I had my first daughter, I was still traveling and coordinating babysitters,â&#x20AC;? said Becker, who worked as a supply chain director, first in aerospace and then in consumer goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I had my second daughter, it just became apparent it was going to be a really hard career to maintain.â&#x20AC;? After learning about Moms Making Six Figures, a San Diego-based marketing company that allows women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income, Becker started with the company in October 2013. By January, she joined the company full time, leaving behind the corporate world for good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very male-driven industry,â&#x20AC;? recalled Becker, who often had to travel across the country and around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of sympathy for women with children. There was always a lot of stress trying to juggle the kids. It was just really hard to balance.â&#x20AC;? Over the last year, Becker has taken her daughters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now in preschool and kindergarten â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to school every morning and picked them up every afternoon. She has gone on every field trip and been at every soccer practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty much just coming in right at dinner and bath and bedtime, and that was it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I really get to be the person to pick them up and hear about their day. I calendar everything the kids are doing, and then I calendar work after that.â&#x20AC;? Moms Making Six Figures is currently looking to expand the team both at home and abroad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Check it out and see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for you,â&#x20AC;? Becker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an alternative.â&#x20AC;?

However, when the multi-agency funded river park received no City of San Diego funding from 2009 to 2012, Lopez said restoration efforts that included putting up new fences stopped because staff had to be pulled away from caring for the area within city limits. “We had to walk away due to a funding issue,” he said. With no rangers available to restore the open space and remove non-native, invasive plants, nor patrol the area for trail users going off the designated paths, which creates further damage and destruction, Lopez said “the whole area went south.” City funding was restored for 2013 and 2014, though if it will continue in 2015 is uncertain, he said. Without knowing if there will be money for rangers to continue patrolling the area — plus work halting for nesting season, which is March 15 through Sept. 15 — the project is headed into a monitoring phase again. In the meantime, Lopez said the public can help make sure the efforts undertaken in the last few months are effective, even if rangers end up less frequently patrolling the area. Park visitors can do this by following the signs and not straying from designated trails, plus telling other visitors they see off the trails that they are in sensitive areas and

need to get back on the correct path. “This is the most effective ... they have a sense of ownership,” he said, adding people also need to stay out of the park when it is dark. The park opens at 6 a.m. each day and closes at 6 p.m. from Oct. 1 to March 31 and 7:30 p.m. from April 1 to Sept. 30. The bridge is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. all year. The current restoration project included putting up signage throughout the area to direct people toward various trails and tell them to stay out of certain areas that rangers have recently planted so the young vegetation is not destroyed. The signs include QR codes so trail users can get additional information, if they desire. Signs were also installed telling people to use a buddy system for their safety, plus there are trail directional signs, so if trail visitors get in distress and have to call for help, San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel have a faster way to find them out in the open area, he said. The signs also indicate trail distances, so visitors can choose routes best suited for them. Lopez said some new fencing has been installed to keep people from going on trails created by park visitors who did not stay on the original paths. He said vegetation has not only been destroyed by their walking and bicycling in non-designated areas, but the shortcuts also lead to erosion since they

In areas where fencing has not gone up, Lopez said signs have been placed. If rangers see the signs are not discouraging people from taking the shortcuts then they will likely have to install more fences if funding permits. He said the county, through Supervisor

On the website, Karina’s best friend, McKenzie Peay, mentioned her many talents and her generosity to others. “I remember one time for sixth grade camp we were selling entertainment books for a fundraiser,” McKenzie wrote. “Karina sold more than enough books to let her go to camp. She probably could have got extra prizes or whatever but instead she gave her extra orders to me. This helped pay a good portion of my camp, and I am very grateful for her kindness.” Schultz-Fares said the community’s generosity to the family during this difficult time is “a testament to how Karina was, how God made her to be.” She added, “we miss her very much, but rejoice that she is dancing in heaven. ... We feel very cared for by the community, our friends, neighbors and church family. We are grieving for ourselves, but rejoice for Karina.” Karina’s memorial service was held on Sunday at New Hope Church of Penasquitos. Her private burial was on Tuesday at Dearborn Memorial Park in Poway.

Business I love Angry Birds, but…

CELEBRATIONS WILL BENEFIT LOCAL GROUPS

PizzaRev opening two restaurants

Can I increase business by giving stuff away? Roy Johnson, Poway Sure, but be balanced about it. For instance, while waiting for meetings I sometimes play games on my phone. Needing new challenges, I downloaded Star Wars Angry Birds. This free app appealed to my love of the entire Angry Birds game franchise and my persistent efforts to ASK MR. MARKETING defeat the Pig King. If you haven’t played, well, it’s complicated. Playing a round in this game takes about 20 seconds. Yet unlike previous Angry Bird games, this version inserts an advertisement after each round. Game developer Rovio is understandably trying to convert my interest into a sale. Having called attention to myself, I’m now fair game. Allowing 10 seconds for each ad to appear and be swatted away, a client’s five minute delay translated to my seeing that ad 10 times. I’ve always advocated touching prospective customers 7-10 times to complete a sale. Yet an ad every 20 seconds seemed a bit excessive. “There’s no free lunch,” the saying goes. Free news websites and search engines make their money from advertisers selling stuff. As the consumer I expect I’ll be “paying” for the free offering with my time, looking at ads or visiting special website landing pages. And if Rovio only showed me that ad whenever I started playing the game, I wouldn’t complain. But two ads each minute was obnoxious. I quickly uninstalled the app. Regardless of what you sell, giving something away for free will help lure in sales prospects. The word free is still one of the most powerful words in the marketing lexicon, and providing something of interest to your target market — white papers, checklists or games — is sure to attract attention. And by all means talk about whatever you’re selling. Even with pages offering free stuff your objective remains converting sales prospects into paying customers. Only I’d urge you to learn a lesson the folks at Rovio obviously missed. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes, and balance selling efforts with an ability to actually enjoy the free item being offered. As for me, I’m now happily playing Segmation — a digital paint-by-numbers game that has the added attraction of being an RB-based company. And yes, I got started for free. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Pfeiffer named president of U-T Community Press U-T San Diego has named Phyllis Pfeiffer as president of U-T Community Press. Pfeiffer previously served as vice president and general manager of U-T Community Press, a group of nine community newspapers including: Poway News Chieftain, Rancho Bernardo News Journal, Ramona Sentinel, La Jolla Light, Rancho Santa Fe Review, Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun, and the new Encinitas Advocate. Pfeiffer brings a depth of knowledge and experience, having begun her newspaper career at the La Jolla Light, where she served as publisher from 1977-1987. “Phyllis is an important member of the executive team that steers not only the community papers, but all of our efforts,” said Jeff Light, U-T San Diego president and editor. “Her industry crePHYLLIS PFEIFFER dentials and personal character make Phyllis a person of rare insight and good judgment – precisely the sort of executive we need in the leadership of this company.” Papa Doug Manchester, publisher of U-T San Diego, added, “I have known Phyllis for 30 years and have always admired her dedication to excellence in journalism and

especially her leadership skills. I am most confident of her ability to take the community newspapers to additional heights.” Pfeiffer left the Light more than 25 years ago to become general manager of the Los Angeles Times San Diego Edition. After the Times closed in San Diego, Phyllis headed north to become president and publisher of the Marin Independent Journal. She later became vice president of advertising and marketing for the Contra Costa Times and senior vice president of advertising for the San Francisco Chronicle. “The transition to U-T San Diego ownership in 2014 has been a boost to local community journalism” said Pfeiffer. “The weekly newspapers that make up U-T Community Press have retained their independent voices, their local staffs, and the editorial content that is tailored to each community.” Pfeiffer noted that another big benefit of this new association has been the U-T San Diego encouragement and financial support to bring more local news to other San Diego communities, along with sophisticated digital marketing programs for small businesses in these areas. “Readers can look forward to better mobile and online access to our community news and information in 2015 and beyond,” she said.

Rancho Bernardo Eagle Scout earns all 139 merit badges BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

couple years after joining Boy Scouts, 13-yearold Anthony Pyka set a goal — to earn every merit badge available before his 18th birthday. On Tuesday night, during Rancho Bernardo Troop 685’s Court of Honor, Pyka was presented his last merit badge, bringing his total to 139. It is a feat that has been accomplished by around 250 Boy Scouts in the national organization’s 105-year history, according to Karl Shelton, spokesman for Boy Scouts of America’s San Eagle Scout Anthony Pyka, center, with his fellow Boy Scout Troop 685 members at their Court of Honor on Tuesday night Diego-Imperial Council. “A very small percentage at Monterey Ridge Elementary School in 4S Ranch.

Locals are invited to support the Backyard Produce Project and visit its garden during a barbecue fundraiser next month. The fifth annual event benefitting the project that provides locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables to local families in need will be 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 8 in the Backyard Produce Gardens at Sunshine Care, 12695 Monte Vista Road in Poway. It will be held rain or shine. The $10-per-person tickets are only being sold in advance. They can be purchased through March 6 at www.sunshinecare.com or by mailing a check, payable to “Backyard Produce Project,” to Backyard Produce Project c/o Sunshine Care, 12695 Monte Vista Road, Poway, CA 92064. People unable to attend are welcome to send monetary donations to that address as well. For questions, contact Lisa Lipsey at 858-752-8197 or lisa@sunshinecare.com. In addition to tickets sold for the meal that will feature barbecued chicken, salad, beans, corn and dessert, there will be musical entertainment by Cowboy Jack and drawings every half hour for a variety of prizes, Lipsey said. The prizes include gift cards to local garden nurseries and succulent container gardens made by those in Poway Unified School District’s Transition Program. She said the Wishing Tree Company is also donating a fruit or flowering tree of the winner’s choice from a list of options. The prize includes the company planting the tree and providing a year’s worth of care supplies. Drawing tickets, sold at the event, will be $1 for one, $5 for five, $10 for 12 and $20 for an arm’s length.

Lipsey, the barbecue’s coordinator, said all the proceeds will go to the project that provides fresh fruits and vegetables to local families in need. The produce is obtained through three ways: • Monthly donation sites in Rancho Bernardo and Poway, where people donate the excess fruits and vegetables grown in their gardens at home, • Picking teams, which are small groups of volunteers who harvest produce — typically fruit from trees — at homes where the owners are unable to pick the fruit themselves, and • The garden, a volunteer-tended endeavor to grow additional varieties not typically donated through the other two methods. Jane Radatz, who oversees the entire project, said since it began in 2009 through last month, 136,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables have been donated or grown. Of these, she said 46,000 pounds came through the donation sites, 70,000 pounds were harvested by the picking teams and 20,000 pounds came from the volunteer-tended 5,000-square-foot garden on a plot of land donated by Sunshine Care for the endeavor. The organic garden also has an adjacent 1,000-square-foot orchard. Radatz said volunteers are hoping the orchard will start producing fruit this summer, the third summer since it was planted with peach, plum, apricot and other non-citrus fruit trees. She said these varieties were chosen since they are not as common in local yards as citrus trees. She said the barbecue is the project’s only fundraiser and the money will go toward garSEE PRODUCE, Page B4

JANET SIMPSON

etired teacher Janet Simpson has written a young adult historical novel, the type of book Simpson said she was seeking for her students. “The Joy of Stealing Paris” focuses on Krista Berger, a German teenager employed as a nanny for the Cole family, who are Americans living in newly Nazi-occupied Paris in September 1940. The family has stayed in France instead of returning to the U.S. because Norman Cole refuses to believe rumors about what the Nazis are doing to Jews. His decision turns out to be potentially deadly for himself, his wife and two young children because they are living in France with a secret — their real last name is Cohen and they are Jewish. When their true identity is discovered, the family — with Krista’s help — must frantically try to escape Paris and reach southern France before they are arrested by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp where they are likely to die. While Krista and the family she works for are fictional characters, the woman who tries to save them — famous American entertainer Josephine

Baker — is a real person and her secret efforts with the French Resistance and espionage to help the Allies were the inspiration for the novel, Simpson said. She added that one of the plot twists early in the book’s opening was also inspired by a friend’s experience in post-World War II Europe. Simpson — a Rancho Bernardo resident — said she taught middle school literature for 15 years in Philadelphia. “I was reading all the great novels, never tired of them and said I’d love to write a story,” she said. Her goal was to write something that could affect pre-teens and teenagers the way she saw Lois Lowry’s novel “Number the Stars” — also about Jews in World War II — impact her students. When Simpson learned about Baker’s heroic wartime efforts, which she said many do not know about, that became a crucial element to her novel because her students in Philadelphia were primarily African-American — as was Baker — but the literature for young adults featuring African-Americans is limited. She said her book could be valuable to middle and high school teachers during their lessons about World War II or when seeking books for Black History Month, which is February. To

facilitate classroom use, Simpson included 22 discussion questions and writing prompts in the novel. While Simpson said it was not her goal to have the novel’s strong, heroic characters be female, she said it just developed that way. “I really enjoyed the (writing) process,” Simpson said of her first literary attempt that required a lot of research. Realizing the publishing industry is very difficult to break into, Simpson said she decided to go the self-publishing route, but utilized the editorial services offered by the publishing company plus she had the book edited by several friends, who provided suggestions on areas to cut or expand. Simpson said she is open to speaking with groups. She recently spoke to an eighth grade class at Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch about the writing process. “It was fun to be back in the classroom,” she said. “The Joy of Stealing Paris” is available on Amazon.com as a paperback for $9.99 and in electronic version for $2.99.

den supplies and items needed by the picking teams and at the donation sites. “Last year we raised $2,500, which was fabulous,” Radatz said. “That was just wonderful.” She said barbecue organizers are hoping to meet or exceed that amount this year and more than 100 volunteers are involved with the project, either by staffing donation sites, picking produce or performing the wide variety of garden tasks, including raising seedlings, planting, weeding and harvesting. Becky Palenske oversees the food distribution endeavors coordinated by Friends & Family Community Connection, which includes distributing the Backyard Produce Project’s fruit and vegetable contributions. She said they are combined with other food sources to help approximately 500 local families each month and estimates at least 250 to 300 families receive produce directly generated through the project. “It goes without saying if we had more, we’d give more away at the 16 different locations in our local neighborhoods which partner with us to host food distributions for families in need,” Palenske said. For details on how to donate to or volunteer, contact Jane Radatz at jradatz@att.net or 858485-5449.

The Poway Unified School District has announced four forums where community members are invited to discuss five topics related to the district’s preparation of its second Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The first session will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at Bernardo Heights Middle School, 12990 Paseo Lucido in Rancho Bernardo. Other sessions, each also running from 6 to 8 p.m., are planned for Monday, March 16 at Meadowbrook Middle School in Poway, Thursday, March 19 at Deer Canyon Elementary School in Rancho Penasquitos and Wednesday, April 1 at Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch. Now in its second year, the LCAP is part of a significant change in the way the state allocates funding to local school districts. Under the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), state funding for schools is designed to be more flexible, allowing for more local control over academic spending priorities. This year, district officials are asking for community comments on what it calls “Five Critical Questions.” These include: • Safety: How do we ensure our schools

are safe and secure, while maintaining a positive learning environment and a welcoming atmosphere? • Learning Experiences: What type of learning environments and opportunities are needed to ensure that all students reach their potential and are prepared to be successful in life? • Measures of Success: How do we define and measure student success in order to ensure that each student has a successful personalized learning experience? • Fiscal Responsibility: How do we ensure equitable, effective and transparent use of district resources to support student success and build public trust? • Communication: What strategies and methods for communication will effectively engage all stakeholders and build public trust?

LOCAL LEADERS

School board meetings need to be shortened

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP

nding their second month in office, members of the “new” Poway Unified School District board deserve recognition for following through on their announced plans to make the business of the school district more transparent and to better involve members of the public in the board’s decision-making process. That’s the good news. The bad news is that monthly board meetings are dragging on for many hours, resulting in fatigued board members sometimes losing focus and members of the public heading home long before adjournment. The Feb. 10 board meeting was a good example of both the good and the bad. Under the good, board members adopted procedures to create advisor y committees comprised of community members with proven expertise in the subject areas to be reviewed. The first of these will be the Educational Technology Advisory Committee, with others on the budget, curriculum and controversial capital appreciation bonds (CABs) to follow. The panels will meet at least four times during the year and produce a report at the end of that period. Having the board draw upon the experience of community members to address key topics in the district can only lead to a betterinformed board. The hope here is that the final reports

will meet expectations. That said, the Feb. 10 meeting lasted nearly six hours, starting at 6 p.m. and ending at 11:45 p.m. That does not include a closedsession board meeting that started at 4:30 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and litigation. Do you think our elected board members were as fresh, alert and engaged at 11:30 p.m. as they were at 7 p.m.? (A ver y technical discussion regarding the possible refinancing of $88 million in revenue bonds — not CABs — started at 10 p.m.) Why was the meeting so long? Several reasons. • The board has a long-standing tradition, dating back decades, of using board meetings to provide public recognition of individuals and education programs in the district. The agenda also includes reports from student representatives of the district’s six high schools. Combined, these items can easily consume 30 minutes on an agenda, often times more. • Anyone can speak to the board on topics not on the announced agenda for three minutes. Several speakers on the same topic are limited to a total of 15 minutes. There’s an electronic clock to keep track of the time taken and it’s up to the board chair to make sure speakers do not exceed the limit. That did not happen on Feb. 10 as SEE MEETINGS, Page B16

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Chargers are nice, but ... It is nice to have a pro football team here in San Diego but: The Charger ownership has not demonstrated a desire to keep the team here nor has the expertise or fire to excel. San Diego should not subsidize, nor enter into any form ownership in commercial corporations. History has proven that the government (federal, state or local) cannot successfully manage commercial enterprises. San Diego should not increase any opportunities for government corruption (no freebies). San Diegans do not want any additional taxes. Our politicians need to take a step back and assess what they would do if it was Walmart? Further, San Diego should divest its ownership of commercial property. Doing so would provide an influx of cash, increased tax base and reduce management and maintenance cost burdens.

Careful what you wish for You ran an excellent column in the Feb. 5 issue by Allen Hemphill. I agree that the

lack of, or only tepid interest in Africa’s problems by other nations is not so much because of racism, as it is “African fatigue,” as Mr. Hemphill suggests. Over the years, I have often thought that African people were in some ways possibly better off under colonialism. That thought is tempered by me having never lived under colonialism, so I’m really not qualified to say such a thing. But after all these decades, I still see plenty of things happen in many of the African nations who have gained their independence that remind me of the adage that begins with “be careful what you ask for...” Most of Africa is a tragedy, a basket case, and I would add old world superstitions to the seeds of their own destruction that Mr. Hemphill writes about.

bout a year ago, I dropped a bomb in this column that I had been diagnosed with a fatal dose of cancer that would not likely respond to normal treatment, radiation or chemo of any kind. That being the case I did explore other avenues with my oncologist that could reduce the growth and/or limit its ravages on my body, or otherwise extend my life, with alternative oral chemo. The first attempts showed some promise, but soon fell by the way as the cancer expanded. After a number of months, on a regimen which did nothing to stop it, the chemo did degrade my existence i.e. nausea, lack of appetite, gastric distress and pain in my gut, sleeplessness and other maladies including the loss of 25 pounds. At that time, after consultation with my oncologist, it was decided to try another form of oral chemo, and to explore an additional approach that could possibly alleviate much of the stress to my body, i.e. medicinal cannabis (pot). Now, other than a minuscule brush with marijuana, I had never really experienced the effects of the substance. I taught against its use to my middle school classes as required, and ignored its use in private life, in favor of more available and legal spirits. This was a new era and a new challenge. Pot was being offered to me as a medical prescription, a new form of healing, which showed promise against my discomfort and deteriorating quality of life.

MY TOWN

I decided to try this longforbidden fruit, through a legal process. Voila! What legal process? Though federally pot is considered an illegal substance, at the state level many avenues of access exist. I embarked on a new adventure of obtaining a legal prescription followed by trying to find a safe, convenient and legal source of this promising avenue to less bodily stress. With a referral, I made an appointment with a physician to describe my medical situation and symptoms, in order to be designated as needful. With the resulting prescription and a sketchy (quasilegal) list of distributors in the county, we set out. At first try, we found many of these locations no longer in operation. The location we finally visited and purchased our wares was alongside an Oceanside slough, next to a freeway. (We read last month that the City of Oceanside has closed it down.) Even occasional use of this “illegal” drug improved my life quickly. Food became attractive again; my weight loss slowed; sleep came more easily and I felt less nausea, all without

becoming “high.” Recently, we have driven to the end of an airport runway in El Cajon to the county’s only legal compliant outlet. We have just read that the City of San Diego has actually approved one location as legal for cannabis purchase. It is located in Otay Mesa. How convenient to the seniors of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Santa Fe, Escondido and Oceanside! So, where are we senior citizens supposed to go to get our prescriptions filled, which will enable us to reduce ravages of the modern life-saving medications that are available and prescribed to us? C’mon district attorneys and politicians and city council members, marijuana is a legitimate prescribed drug which can make a major difference in the health of people. Raiding and closing down shops makes you resemble something out of a Prohibition era movie. Mayor Jim Wood of Oceanside in June (according to U-T San Diego) showed a more rational approach of at least suggesting that a different approach to distribution be developed; perhaps by allowing pharmacies to dispense the drug rather than pot shops. Until then, let one wheezing geezer in Poway avoid throwing up, in favor of a good burger at Micky D’s. Emery retired from the Poway City Council in 2008 after serving 28 years. He is a retired teacher. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews.com, are encouraged.

Brown could — but won’t — dominate Senate race

f the current large corps of potential candidates for retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s job look to some like a gaggle of political pygmies, it might have something to do with the proverbial 800-pound gorilla lurking in their living room. That would be Gov. Jerry Brown, who could most likely have the job for the asking. There are plenty of other names, including state Attorney General Kamala Harris, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a bunch of Congress members including Loretta Sanchez and Adam Schiff and John Garamendi and Xavier Becerra, and even Republicans like former party chairman Duff Sundheim, Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin and San Diego County Assemblyman Rocky Chavez. But the reality is that if Brown wants the Senate seat, it’s almost certainly his. He has coveted a Senate seat before. Back in 1982, he tried to move from the governor’s

Thomas Elias SOCAL FOCUS office to the Senate, only to be whipped by former San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson, who would himself become governor eight years later. It’s still the only loss of Brown’s 47-year political career. Notoriously impatient, easily bored and always eager for new challenges, Brown could dominate the Senate race. But because Harris now employs Brown’s 2012 campaign manager and campaign spokesman, her presence means Brown won’t run, even though he’s said nothing on this. Not only does he have more campaign money available than anyone else, but Brown

sports an unusually high approval rating in every poll, his ratings higher than any other California figure. Plus, Brown has moved the state’s nascent bullet train forward about as much as he can for the moment and has been stymied so far in advancing his “twin tunnels” water project. And people his age (mid-70s) are much more common in the Senate than in governor’s mansions. So, why isn’t he running? He would say it’s because he wants to finish what he started in 2010, when he began his second incarnation as governor. But maybe it’s also because he knows there are vulnerabilities in his record. One weakness: some of his appointments to key state jobs. This was never discussed in last year’s campaign, where the worst names Republican candidate Neel Kashkari called him were “lazy” and a “do-nothing advocate of the status quo.” SEE SENATE, Page B16

When I checked with the city on rebates last August I found they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rebate for turf removal unless low water usage plants were installed. Artificial turf did not qualify. The rebate for qualified plants would have been $2 persquare-foot. I applied through SoCalWater$mart for residential customers and eventually was approved although the 260 square feet of sidewalk did not qualify for rebate. My application rebate process was long and drawn out. However, I did receive my rebate in January. The rebate was $2.50 per square foot x 930 squarefeet as opposed to the $2 Mr. West wrote about.

MEETINGS CONTINUED FROM PAAGE B14 numberous speakers blew by the three-minute mark. â&#x20AC;˘ Rather than asking questions of staff prior to the meeting, some board members wait until the public meeting to become further educated on a specific agenda item. That eats up time. We would like to suggest that the recognition portion

of the meetings be held at another time and place, that the three-minute speaking limit be enforced and that board members get their questions answered prior to the monthly meeting. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? board is doing good work. Now members need to figure out how do that work in a more timeefficient manner.

Water trumps football Perhaps I do not get the gravity of the football stadium issue, or for that matter, the proposed Ferris wheel project or the county administration complex on San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown waterfront using 1.3 million more gallons of water per month since a popular new park and splashy water feature went in. It seems to me we are in a drought and need multiple sources of water. While the football stadium is a distraction, water is not. It is core to this economy, core to proper health and the well being of the overall city and state. Once again we will enter into the summer months of a supply-and-demand and water will be the issue, and yet we live right on the ocean. The solution is here, about 15 miles due west of Rancho Bernardo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time our state and local leadership get this conundrum resolved, as a stadium may have some sizzle within the news media, it is water that sustains our economy (fruits, vegetables, good hygiene, various water enterprises). Many can live without football; try living without fresh water.

No nonCalifornian in memory has ever been given a spot on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest cour t. The appointment was a slap in the face of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge corps of lawyers, who certainly believe many of them could do at least as good a job as someone who knows virtually nothing about California. Then he named his former renewable energy adviser Michael Picker to replace the disgraced Michael Peevey as president of the vital and powerful state Public Utilities Commission. Peevey left after disclosure of private emails between him and officials of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Since then, other emails have turned up showing he was

also cozy with Southern California Edison Co. During the year Picker and Peevey were together on the fivemember commission, Picker never voted against Peevey in any significant case. And there was his billsigning message making it easier for parents to avoid getting their children vaccinated for diseases like measles and mumps, a possible factor in this winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measles outbreak. So yes, Brown could likely be the top primary election vote-getter in the upcoming Senate race. But a little opposition research by any runoff opponent could make things at least a little unpleasant for Brown, and chances are he knows it. Which could be one reason heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely never run for office again. Elias is a syndicated colunist.

Welcome to the biggest decade of discovery in medical history

hen the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) speak with one voice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to listen. When they echo the words of the president of the United States, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to act. In his State of the Union Address, President Obama debuted his $215 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precision Medicine Initiative,â&#x20AC;? intended to accelerate progress toward a new era in medicine in which disease treatment and prevention is based upon the particulars of each patient, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minute differences in their DNA or variables in biological processes, such as how their immune system works. The initiative would â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring us closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes,â&#x20AC;? declared the president. Precision medicine promises to deliver â&#x20AC;&#x153;the right treatments at the right time, every time, to the right person,â&#x20AC;? he said. NIH director Francis Collins, who led the game-changing Human Genome Project, and NCI director Harold Varmus, also a former NIH head and a Nobel laureate for his cancer research, could not agree more. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, they took note of the

Dr. Scott M. Lippman FRONTLINE: CANCER presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiastic support for precision medicine, discussed its challenges and debated its ultimate goal: To give everyone the best chance at good health. Such rhetoric might cause pause. The history of science is well marked by grand ambitions that have fallen short, and curing complex diseases is a decidedly difficult and daunting business. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to be skeptical, to wonder about the feasibility of an idea like precision medicine. Can such a thing really be done? These are early days. Much remains to be done, such as collecting and interpreting the genetic information of one million Americans and translating basic discoveries into clinical benefit. But in some cases â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in some places â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the future has arrived. For cancer research and treatment, spe-

cifically, precision medicine has become practiced medicine. The last decade or so has seen incredible, even radical, advances in the depth and breadth of our understanding of cancer. At the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, for example, the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy already performs advanced clinical-grade molecular diagnostics on any patient with advanced cancer where the physician feels such information may be relevant to the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care. There is a weekly Molecular Tumor Board that brings together doctors of multiple specialties, basic scientists, geneticists, bioinformaticists and experts from the San Diego Supercomputer Center to discuss patients with difficult cancers and how best to formulate the singular treatment most suitable for each of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we examine tumors from patients with metastatic disease,â&#x20AC;? said Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we find that no two patients have the same portfolio of molecular/biologic abnormalities. Patients have metastatic tumors that are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;malignant snowflakes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Not only do they need drugs that target their tumor abnormalities with precision, each patient also needs therapies that are personalized for their particular tumor.â&#x20AC;? Last year, UC San Diego and La Jollabased Human Longevity, Inc. (HLI) began a collaborative effort to sequence the genome of every consenting Moores Cancer Center patient. HLI was co-founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., a UCSD alumnus best known for his central role in sequencing the human genome. (Venter and Collins at the NIH are generally credited as being the primary drivers of that effort, with Collins directing a publicly funded program while Venter headed a company focused on the same effort.) Recently, Venter was invited to the White House to hear President Obama fur-

ther elaborate upon the precision medicine initiative. He said the scene was evocative of his visit to the White House in 2000, when it was announced that the human genome had been successfully sequenced. It was inspiring. It felt like something big was happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe bigger,â&#x20AC;? Venter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the president speaking. It was a larger stage. There were more players involved, including the FDA, and a bigger buy-in.â&#x20AC;? Often in science, the more you learn, the less you seem to know. Answering one question provokes 100 or 1,000 more. Such ought to be the case with cancer, but Venter believes we have reached a particular moment of profound opportunity. This next decade â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be the biggest decade of discovery in medical history,â&#x20AC;? he said. It remains true that the more we learn about cancer, the more we learn about what remains to be learned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the known unknowns, so to speak. But Venter argues persuasively that we have developed sufficient tools to do a job unimaginable just a few years ago, from high-throughput sequencing technology to managing massive amounts of Big Data that would boggle the mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advances in genomics and other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;omicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are going to sort out a lot of basic questions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The costs and time of sequencing the human genome have dropped dramatically from $100 million and 9 months when I sequenced the first human genome to less than $1,000 and one day. We can do a lot of things faster and cheaper.â&#x20AC;? The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative marks a beginning, especially in terms of treating and preventing cancer. At Moores Cancer Center, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already started. Scott M. Lippman, MD, is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ ucsd.edu.

From left, Lori Chase, Cathy Cooper Scott and Linda West are three of the 43 artists exhibiting in the show at the PCPA. Photo by Emily Sorensen in the Porter House great room at Old Poway Park. The art show began 25 year ago, and was originally shown for several years in the former Homestead Bank building at the corner of Poway and Pomerado Roads, said Barbara Lerma of the Poway Woman’s Club. This year, the exhibit will feature art from 41 female artists from Poway and the surround-

ing communities. This is a juried show. The art on display features a wide variety of mediums, including watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, colored pencil, photography, mixed media, charcoal, pen and ink, graphite and collage. The judge this year is Heidi Hensey, who teaches drawing and painting at Poway High School. Hensey studied fine arts

at the University of San Diego, where she majored in art with an emphasis in photography and ceramics. She concurrently earned her California Single Subject Teaching Credential, and taught at Chula Vista’s School for Creative and Performing Arts for six years. Hensey works with mixed media in her own art, combining such materials as clay, photography, found objects, wire, thread, bones, feathers, and paper. She also creates designs for paper crafting and has created works for many Broadway shows and actors, including Rosie O’Donnell. Artists in the exhibit will be judged based on craftsmanship, attention to detail, strength of composition, content, creativity and originality. Winners will be announced later in March.

Seniors Protecting yourself from osteoporosis bone fractures Dear Savvy Senior, Can a person in their early 50’s have osteoporosis? When I fell and broke my wrist last winter the doctor that treated me told me I might have osteoporosis. What can you tell me? Worried Ronda Dear Ronda, While osteoporosis is much more common in older seniors, it can strike at any age. In fact, the National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that half of women and up to 25 percent of men in the U.S. over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Here’s what you should know. Who’s at risk? Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to become brittle and weak and more susceptible to fractures. Around 10 million Americans already have osteoporosis (80 percent are women) while another 43 million have “pre-osteoporosis,” or osteopenia. But the good news is this disease is both preventable and treatable. Most people, by the time they reach their late 30s, gradually start losing some of their bone mass, but for women,

Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR menopause is the time when this process really accelerates. Bone loss for men occurs much more slowly. However, by age 75, osteoporosis is as common in men as it is in women. Some of the key risk factors of developing osteoporosis include: being over age 50; being female; menopause; having a family history of the disease; being small and thin; having an eating disorder; not getting enough calcium and vitamin D; getting too much protein, sodium and caffeine; having an inactive lifestyle; smoking; drinking too much alcohol; taking certain medications (see nof.org/articles/6 for a list); and having certain medical conditions (see nof.org/ articles/5). To help you determine your risk of osteoporosis, the

National Institutes of Health has a quick, online quiz you can take at bonecheckup.org. Prevention and treatment A good first step in preventing and treating osteoporosis is to get screened. For women, that should start around menopause, especially if you’re not taking estrogen, or anyone who has broken a bone after age 50 or who has other risk factors. All women over 65 and men over 70 should be tested every two years – Medicare covers it. Screening for osteoporosis is a simple, painless, bone density test, which takes about five minutes. Here’s what else you can do to protect your bones. • Boost your calcium: The best way to get bone-building calcium is through your diet. Dairy products (low-fat milk, cheeses and yogurt), dark green leafy vegetables (broccoli, kale, collards), sardines and salmon, cooked dried beans, soy foods, almonds and fortified cereals and juices are all good sources of calcium. Vitamin D is also important to help you body absorb calcium. SEE BONES, Page B25

Talk to your doctor about these and other medication options, as well as potential side effects. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends 1,000 mg of calcium daily for women under age 50 and for men under 70, and 1,200 mg for women 51 and older and for men over 71. Note: Recent studies have found that excess calcium could increase the risk of heart disease. They also recommend all adults under age 50 get 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D, or 800 to 1,000 IU if you’re over 50. If you’re not getting enough vitamin D through sunlight or food, consider taking a supplement. Most daily multivitamins contain at least 400 IU. • Exercise: Weight-bearing exercises like walking, and strength training with weights or resistant bands three or four times a week can also significantly improve your

(CNS) — Home prices in San Diego County rose slightly last month, but the number of properties that were sold fell, according to figures released by the San Diego Association of Realtors. The median price of a single-family home that changed hands in January was $500,000, which was 1 percent above December and 5 percent higher than January of last year, according to the SDAR. For attached homes like condominiums and townhouses, SDAR data showed that January’s median sales price was $332,000. That’s 1 percent over December and 10 percent more than January 2014. The organization reported that 1,177 houses sold last month, down 36 percent from December and 10 percent fewer than the same month last year. Also, 549 condos

Sports PREP WRESTLING

Titans shooting for history at Masters BY MICHAEL BOWER The Poway High wrestling program has done nearly ever ything in its storied histor y. But this year’s Titans are gunning to achieve something no other has — send all 14 grapplers to state. Poway, ranked No. 3 in the state and No. 9 in the nation by Flowrestling, is looking to bring everyone to the state championships in hopes of knocking off favorite and four-time defending champion Clovis. The Titans will get their chance to qualify a wrestler in each weight class at the two-day Masters Championships at Southwest High School. The tour nament begins Friday at 10 a.m. and will conclude with the third/four thplace matches and championship matches at 5 p.m. on Saturday. The top three in each weight class advance to the state tournament in Bakersfield March 6 and 7. Poway has qualified 12 to state the last three years in a row, but is set on making history this season.

Poway's Liam Sorahan, left, and Rancho Bernardo's Corbin Grenowich, right, could meet in the 220-pound ﬁnal Saturday in the Masters Championships. Photo by Sherri Cortez “Normally, it is about doing what has already been done before you and doing it well,” said Poway’s 145-pounder Ralphy Tovar, who is ranked No. 1 in the state by

The California Wrestler. “But getting the chance to do something completely new is incredible. It is monumental. We are super excited to be that team, if we can do

it. We want to be that team.” Tovar is just one of three Poway grapplers holding down a No. 1 ranking in the state. Defending state champion Colt Doyle (160 pounds) and senior Liam Sorahan (220) are the two others. Both Doyle and Sorahan are undefeated this season. The Titans showed just how dominant they are in the San Diego Section on Saturday, sending all 14 wrestlers to the final of the Division II tournament. Thirteen of them walked away champions, including first-year varsity wrestler and senior Philip Pham at 170 pounds. Pham, who has persevered through injuries last year and this season, has helped fill what was a void at the beginning of the season at 170 pounds. The Titans had Doyle at the spot a good portion of the year, but were able to drop him back to 160 with Pham’s emergence. “He is one of those guys a lot of people didn’t know,” Tovar said.

Renken's elevated game has Nighthawks soaring POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP

BY MICHAEL BOWER

Del Norte junior striker Karli Renken has scored seven goals Photo by Tom Grewe in her last four games.

Scoring goals has always seemed to come easy for Karli Renken. The Del Norte High junior registered 11 of them before February started in her first season on varsity last year. That’s the kind of output the talented striker has been accustomed to since the beginning of her soccer career as a youngster. So, when the calendar turned to February in 2015 and she had just five goals it was a little puzzling to even

her. “It was weird, because I have always had a knack for scoring,” Renken said. “But none of my shots were going in. I don’t think I was playing bad in the beginning, just different than I am now.” Something is definitely different.

Renken busted out of her funk in a big way down the final stretch of the regular season. She netted seven goals in the last four games to help the Nighthawks go unbeaten in league en route to the Avocado East title and the No. 1 seed in the San Diego Section SEE RENKEN, Page B32

PHS grad achieved dream without inking scholarship BY MICHAEL BOWER National Signing Day was earlier this month. It was a joyous day for those high school athletes with college scholarships to ink. But for those seniors without a National Letter-of-Intent to sign, it served as a painful reminder: It was one day closer to the end of their dream to play sports at the next level. At least that’s how many of them view it. Former Poway High girls soccer and track star Kelsie Dickerson remembers the feeling. The 2010 graduate had a few NCAA Division II and Division III scholarship offers for soccer, but not from a school that was up to her academic standard. “I tried hard to get a scholarship,” said Dickerson, the younger sister of the San Diego Padres’ Alex Dickerson. “I sent out emails and tried to get in contact with coaches to have them come watch me play, but the big problem was I started late ... I ended up getting into University of California, Berkeley, which when you get into a school that exceptional you don’t want to turn it down.” She didn’t. Dickerson decided to attend Cal, which has one of the top Division I women’s soccer programs in the country. With no interest from other strong college soccer programs while at Poway, the thought never crossed Dickerson’s mind that she might be good enough to walk on to the team at Cal. Instead, she accepted that her competitive soccer career was over. “I didn’t have a problem quitting soccer at

So, the second semester at Cal she played with the men’s soccer club before eventually joining the women’s club team. She played with them for about a year, but during the spring of her sophomore year she felt that itch

for higher competition again. “I just started thinking, ‘what if I am good enough?’ she said. “So, I reached out to (Cal women’s soccer coach) Neil McGuire and sent him my soccer resumé and he agreed to take a look at me.” And she blew him away while playing against his Golden Bears. Dickerson, a center back, filled in for some missing players on the Sacramento Storm (a semi-pro team) during a spring game. Nobody in a Cal jersey was able to get by her and McGuire was impressed. “She was invited to try out for the team after that,” he said. “We just couldn’t get past her.” “It was a really good game for me,” Dickerson said. “I was a little bit nervous at first, but it was also nice because I knew I had nothing to lose.” Dickerson played the rest of the spring with Cal and then during the fall of her junior year made the roster. “I was really excited,” she said. “I called my parents and told them and it was just really a proud moment.” But that isn’t where the story ends. Dickerson won the Most Improved Player Award her second season playing for Cal and then this past year was named Defensive Player of the Year. “I think the message is clear,” McGuire said. “If you want something bad enough, you can do it. Kelsie proved a lot of people wrong. Her being a great athlete was the first piece of it. Her natural athletic ability is so special. It just became a matter of teaching her the SEE ALUMNI, Page B32

POLO WESTERN OPEN INTERSCHOLASTIC REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Poway polo team captures regional championship varsity squad lost its first game to Santa Barbara, but won the consolation match against Maui in what turned out to be the most exciting and evenly-matched game of the weekend. The junior varsity took a one-point lead with a minute to go, but Maui sent the game to overtime with a game-tying goal in the final 10 seconds. Overtime polo is conducted by the two teams alternating taking shots from 25 yards away with no goalie until a victor is crowned. The junior varsity’s Rexi Vicardo scored the only goal after two tries each by Maui and Poway. That gave Andrew Scott a chance to clinch it. He did, drilling his shot to the center of the goal. The Poway Polo Club, located at 14336 Tierra Bonita Road, comprises 18 young riders from throughout San Diego and places them into four teams. Poway is one of the top youth polo programs in the country, and regularly graduates these young players to the intercollegiate level, SEE POLO, Page B31

Local golfers reach national tourney Poway, Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch residents to play at TPC Sawgrass BY MICHAEL BOWER One of the most recognized holes in the golfing world is No. 17 on Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The par-3, 137-yard hole’s green is surrounded by water — hence the nickname “Island Green” — and has produced some memorable moments over the years. Many dream of getting the oppor tunity to play it one day. Local golfers Lar r y McMahon, Dennis Levesque and Cor y Doucette won’t have to dream anymore. The trio earned the right to play one of the most spectacular holes in the world through a charity golfing event.

Obviously, the island green is

Levesque, a Rancho Ber nardo resident, McMahon, a Poway resident, and Doucette, a 4S Ranch resident, will play in the Liberty Mutual Insurance Invitational National Finals at TPC Sawgrass, starting today (Thursday) and ending March 1. The three are par t of a foursome (their other teammate is Dave Schnapp of Livermore) that qualified

there, but the whole course is unbelievable.” The Liberty Mutual Invitational National Finals is the finale of a series of more than 75 charity golf tournaments around the country. It has raised more than $7.2 million for charity, according to a press release. “This foursome represents 12,000 golfers who gener ously suppor ted more than 60 charities through our series of amateur golf events, and we look for ward to celebrating at TPC Sawgrass their invaluable contributions to their communities,” said John Coombe, vice president of brand management and sponsorships at Liberty Mutual.

“Things worked out and Doyle dropped to 160. (Pham) has worked hard since he was a freshman and it is so gratifying to see him helping the team now. It is his senior year and he is closing it out as well as he could.” Tovar has won the Masters Championship title the last two years in a row. He took fourth at state last year and fifth in state in 2013. After a lackluster performance at the Reno Tournament of Champions, he has been on a mission to finish strong. “I can’t forget about that tournament,” Tovar said of the Reno TOC, where he placed seventh. “It wasn’t my best showing and it was a bit of motivation for me.” Rancho Bernardo, who placed second

to Poway in the Palomar League and in the Division II Dual Championships, has a shot at qualifying several grapplers to state. Adrian Charbono (120), Chasen Blair (182) and Corbin Grenowich (220) are the frontrunners to advance. All three finished in second place at the Division II tournament Saturday and have a strong chance to reach the finals at the Masters Championships. Grenowich came the closest to capturing a Division II title. He faced Poway’s Sorahan in the final and fell in overtime 5-4. It was the second straight week those two faced off and Sorahan won in overtime. They could very well meet again in Saturday’s final.

Champion and World Golf Hall of Famer Curtis Strange, honorary chairman of the Liberty Mutual Invitational, will be interacting with players and will hold a clinic for the field. There will be a total of 240 amateur golfers competing in the finals. This is not the first time the foursome has played in the Liberty Mutual Invitational National Finals. Two years ago, the same group came in second place at the event, according to McMahon. “We played two years ago in the final and it was my first time,” he said. “It was a phenomenal event and it was run very well. I assume it will be the same.” The name Doucette might sound familiar to those in Poway. He was a point guard for Poway High back in 1993, when the school won its last San Diego Section boys basketball championship.

School. It was the first playoff win for Rancho Bernardo since 2010, when the school captured the San Diego Section Division I title. The Broncos advance to the quarterfinals, where they will host No. 6 Coronado Friday at 7 p.m. **** Girls soccer: Del Nor te earned the No. 1 seed in the Division I playoffs and will host No. 8 Rancho Buena Vista or No. 9 La Jolla Saturday at 5 p.m. in the quarterfinals. Rancho Bernardo is the No. 3 seed and will host No. 6 Poway or No. 11 Hilltop Saturday at 5 p.m. in the quarterfinals.

Poway and Hilltop were slated to play Wednesday. **** Boys soccer: No. 8 Poway gave up three goals in the first 30 minutes and never rebounded in a 7-1 loss to No. 1 Torrey Pines Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the Open Division playoffs. The loss means the end of the road for seven seniors, including Kellen Gallagher and Ian Hayne. Hayne scored the only goal for the Titans, finding the back of the net on a penalty kick in the 79th minute. “I was really glad to see Ian get a goal in his last game,”

Morris said. “Both Kellen and Ian have meant so much to this program. They both have put up great offensive numbers. I am going to miss those two.” The Titans were coming off back-to-back Palomar League titles entering this season, but knew this year was going to be tough after losing several key players from last year. Still, Poway found a way to earn a spot in the eight-team Open Division playoffs. “I am really proud that my guys wanted to be in the Open Division and didn’t just sand bag it to be in a lower division,” Morris said. “We are Poway and we hope to be in the Open Division every year.”

high-level tactics and refining her technique.” Dickerson, who graduated from Cal in 2014 with a degree in molecular and environmental biology, had a message for those seniors that did not get a scholarship offer, but still have a dream to play sports in college. “Be confident in your abilities, because there are so many great athletes in Southern California and so many get overlooked because of the volume of high-quality athletes out here,” she said. “Don’t give up. If it is

something you really want, work hard and it will happen.” Dickerson is currently back in Poway figuring out her next move. She signed up to take the Graduate Record Exam, but hopes to find a job in San Diego before heading off to graduate school. She also is thinking about playing semi-pro soccer. “I am exploring my options,” she said. “If it doesn’t work out, I will find a way to play. I am never going to stop playing again.”

Division I playoffs. Del Norte will host either No. 8 Rancho Buena Vista or No. 9 La Jolla Saturday at 5 p.m. in the quarterfinals. “I think I just started hustling more,” Renken said. “I always try really hard and sometimes I just fell short. So, I just started giving it even more effort than I did in the beginning.” Renken finding that next gear was exactly what Del Norte girls soccer coach Gary Rossi was hoping would happen. He even pulled his star striker out of a few games in the middle of the season, hoping to light a fire inside of her. That is exactly what happened. “I was mad,” Renken said. “He took me out in the beginning of a few games, because I was not playing well or not hustling to the full extent that he wanted me to and that made me extremely upset and angry at the situation. When he did that, I worked way harder, because I did not want to be taken out again.” Said Rossi: “I think by sitting her out she realized I wasn’t screwing around. I sat her twice and all of a sudden she stepped up. And

like I told her, the last five games is exactly the intensity that I want her to play with for 80 minutes. And she has really taken that to heart.” Renken’s speed and agility allows her to often shake free of marking defenders. Scoring goals has always been something she has loved and she is happy to be back at it again. “I just love the feeling after you score and I love being able to score for my team and coach and the fans who are watching,” she said. “That has really helped me push myself. It has been exciting.” With Renken on a goal-scoring spree, the Nighthawks are firing on all cylinders entering the postseason. Del Norte is looking to capture its first section championship in girls soccer. “We know we have a chance to win, but we are not cocky,” Renken said. “To be honest, we are really scared because the higher you are the harder you fall. We are scared teams are going to come out and shock us. So, we are doing everything we can to stay grounded and work harder on the field.”

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 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-30178. 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.
