BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Two Rancho Bernardo groups concerned about a San Diego Gas & Electric pipeline proposed for the community are voicing what want included in the project’s environmental impact report. At a Rancho Bernardo Planning Board special meeting on May 31 and the regular June 1 Rancho Bernardo Community Council meeting, both groups approved nearly identical letters to the California Public Utilities Commission in response to a notice that the project’s draft EIR is to be prepared. Both detail the same concerns regarding safety, traffic, noise, vibration and environmental impacts for the proposed new line and test of an existing gas line. Public comments are due by June 12 at sandiegopipeline-psrp.com. The website has details on the proposed project. SDG&E wants to construct a 36-inch-diameter high pressure natural gas transmission line, dubbed Line 3602, from the Rainbow Metering Station in Rainbow, California, to a tie-in within MCAS Miramar. The proposed route includes portions of Rancho Bernardo and Poway, mostly along Pomerado Road. The utility company also wants to de-rate, or lower the pressure, within Line 1600, which in 1949 was installed SEE GAS PIPELINES, A11

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK AND EMILY SORENSEN Approximately 2,700 seniors at Poway Unified School District’s five traditional high schools are graduating today (Thursday). Del Norte High’s ceremony for its 525 seniors will begin at 3 p.m. in the 4S Ranch campus’ stadium. Those attending the ceremony who have a graduation ticket may start entering at 1:45 p.m. All other guests will be allowed in at 2:45 p.m. Parking is limited, so carpooling is advised. The Del Norte High School Concert Band, directed by Jennifer Kitelinger, will play the processional, “Pomp and Circumstance” and national anthem. The school’s Senior Choir, directed by Keith Sattely, will sing the alma mater, “Taking

Flight,” and “Opening Sequence: The New World” by Jason Robert Brown. The class speakers will be seniors Darren Chow and Soumya Kuruvila, who were selected during a speech competition. Also recognized during the ceremony will be valedictorian Albert Lee and salutatorian Brian Huo. The graduates will return to the campus in the evening so they can be transported to Miramar Speed Circuit for their “Speeding to the Finish Line” all-night Grad Nite party. Pre-graduation activities for the Nighthawks included their senior picnic on Tuesday at Lake Poway and senior breakfast on Wednesday morning at the Hamburger Factory. Rancho Bernardo High’s graduation ceremony for its 552 seniors will begin at

5:30 p.m. in its campus stadium. The gates will open to parents and guests at 4 p.m. Tickets are required. Since parking at the school is very limited, a free bus shuttle will transport guests directly to the stadium. Guests are to park at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 15750 Bernardo Heights Parkway in Rancho Bernardo. The shuttle will be available from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m. and from after the ceremony until 8 p.m. Before the ceremony Emma Groves, Alan Liang, Hanae Sugiura and Lin Yi Yu will sing “Lean on Me.” During the ceremony, the speakers will include senior class Presidents Amelia Cabrera and Burke Campbell, and valedictorian Bryant Huang. Also recognized will be salutatorian Sung “Mark” Kang. During SEE HIGH SCHOOLS, A11

Free event will help parents understand cyber world Social media, technology, phones to be among topics BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The cyber world and what kids are doing in it will be demystified for parents during a free event on Tuesday night. Jon Moffat of Cyber Education Consulting will share the most up-to-date trends in technology at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 13 in The Remington Club I’s multipurpose room, 16925 Hierba Drive in Rancho Bernardo. The Rancho Bernardo Community Council is organizing the forum for parents and guardians to help them understand the technology that their children likely know more about than do the adults in their lives. Among topics Moffat will cover are: • The right age for a child to have a smartphone and phone options.

• Ways for parents to set up digital world boundaries for their children and how parents can keep up with its rapid changes. • The latest phone apps that can put teens and adults at risk. • Social media, including Instagram, Snapchat and Kik. • The teen tech trends in the local community. • Simple techniques so parents can better connect with their children and technology. • The tools to create a family technology contract. Moffat has been educating others about the cyber world for 11 years, with an emphasis that technology is a just tool, which can be used for good or bad.

Man arrested in RB standoff accused of rape, kidnapping BY LYNDSAY WINKLEY A 19-year-old man who was arrested Sunday following a six-hour police standoff in Rancho Bernardo is accused of kidnapping and raping his girlfriend soon after the two got into an argument, the San Diego Police Department said. Their fight erupted when she tried to break up with the man — identified as Anthony Brewer — at a San Diego hotel between Saturday night and early Sunday, police said. Brewer is then suspected of forcing the woman into her car and driving her around the county for hours. The 19-year-old victim told police Brewer sexually assaulted her several times in the vehicle and refused to let her leave, police said. On Sunday morning, Brewer allegedly stopped at the woman’s house where they were confronted by a family friend who jumped into the vehicle. Brewer crashed into an SUV near Pomerado Road and Fieldstone Drive soon after — about

11:45 a.m. It’s unclear whether the crash was intentional. The driver of the SUV was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries. The family friend and the woman were able to get out of their overturned vehicle to safety, but Brewer refused to emerge. At one point he brandished a knife and said he wanted to commit suicide, police said. After negotiating with the man for hours, members of the SWAT team shot flash bangs and pepper balls into the vehicle and Brewer surrendered. He was taken to a hospital and treated for injuries before he was booked into jail. He is accused of eight felonies including three rape charges, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping. He was to be arraigned on Wednesday. Winkley writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

RUNNING RATTLERS HONORED

Midland Elementary School honored its top runners at a recent Friday assembly, where approximately 30 first through fifth graders were noted for having run at least 100 miles in the school’s before-school running club. The students in the club run laps around the grass on campus, keeping track of how many laps they cover. Some students run nearly every day and can earn medals by covering 100 miles during the school year. Together, the group has run about 3,400 miles and one runner, David He, ran over 400 miles, according to a press release. The total distance run for all the students in the club is over 19,000 miles. The club is sponsored by Palomar Health, with the goal of getting more kids moving every day.

Giving Back

Volunteer helps Farsi-speaking families Poway woman has offered her services to PUSD and many more

BY EMILY SORENSEN A Poway woman is giving back to her adopted community by helping others. Zarin Ahi is on a one-woman mission to reach out to the Farsi-speaking community in Poway and the surrounding areas. Ahi has volunteered her services, especially translation, for the Poway Unified School District, the San Diego Fire Department’s CERT program and for a Farsi-language monthly newsletter, all in her own spare time and her own dime. “I’m ready to do whatever I can to help,” Ahi said. Ahi said she gives back as much as she does because she truly believes that in order to be part of the community, you must serve the community. She said her philosophy is to live like oil, not water. “If you live like water, you evaporate,” Ahi said. “But it’s hard to wash away oil. It spreads. You need to spread your message like oil.” Born and raised in Iran, Ahi was a city planner who became involved in working with youth. “I found that you can’t do anything with cities (as a city planner) until you know the people in the cities,” she said. Ahi volunteered her time at a youth institute in Tehran helping with family planning and youth, and after immigrating to the United

States with her family in April 2007, continued her love of volunteering with youth. “I decided to serve my new country to make it the best place to raise my students,” she said. Ahi said she went to the Poway Unified School District and offered her translation services, volunteering her time despite there being no budget to pay her, she said. She demonstrated her translation skills by translating some random papers into Farsi. She eventually joined the district’s Primary Test Language program, which tests students in their first language, helping Farsi-speaking youngsters test. She also leant her translation services to Student Services, translating for parents speaking to teachers and counselors, and worked in the ASES program first at Valley Elementary and then at Bernardo Heights Middle School. Ahi said she educated herself on the needs of the students and their parents because she really wanted to work for the community. “I

studied everything I could find about youth and kids,” she said. She said that students from Farsi-speaking families are often embarrassed when their parents are unable to communicate in English with their teachers, and sometimes fail to pass on messages or meetings because of that. Other children, she said, are living without their parents and their guardians don’t understand how the school system works. Ahi keeps busy now with her monthly newsletter, which she hands out in the parking lots of Persian and international grocery stores, and holding Farsi-language workshops to help immigrants settle into the community and learn how things function in the United States. She said she brings a topic to the meetings and asks the participants to do something with it. An example of an article in her newsletter would be information on what parents can expect from school conferences, questions the teachers might ask and what is expected of

them from the school. “Immigration has a deadline,” she said. “You have to eventually become part of the community. You have to go forward or go backward, the choice is yours. To go forward, you need to know and improve yourself.” Ahi is searching for a free space she can hold summer meetings with families. Anyone with a space to volunteer can reach her at zarintaj_ahi@yahoo.com.

This hummingbird and flower drawn by Danny Newbanks was the adult division winning artwork.

Chalk art contest draws 127 artists BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The seventh annual Chalk It Up sidewalk chalk art contest attracted 127 artists of all ages to Rancho Bernardo Community Park. It was held on May 27, rescheduled after rain forced a postponement earlier in the month. The free competition is organized by the Rancho Bernardo Community Council. All participants received a small gift and refreshments, while prizes — gift certificates to local businesses — were awarded to the top artists, as determined by contest judge Carol McCotter. The overall winners were Emerson Bowles and Rewan Smith, who drew a very colorful iguana head. In the senior division, first place went to Sandy Mall for her landscape drawing, while second went to Jean Davis, who also drew a landscape scene. In the adult division, Danny Newbanks’ hummingbird and flower design came in first, Nina Mascardo got second place for her three

abstract stars and Lori Baca got third place for her swimming sea turtle. High school finalists were Gracie Horne, who received first place for her colorful abstract design; Riley Trecker, who came in second for her butterfly wings that included a space for people to lay between while being photographed; and Imran Tallman, who came in third for a sunburst design. At the middle school level, Alyssa Wilson placed first for her brown owl, Talon Bohn placed second for drawing a parrot plus a guy holding a dog, and Carly Newbanks placed third for her flower drawn inside a circle. The elementary school level winner was John Roberts for his bird wearing a helmet. There was a tie for second place — Hazel Kingery drew a “My Little Pony” design and Jazair Tallman drew a shark. In third place was Maci Fogel’s landscape design. In the preschool division, Miles Nolan’s sunrise was first, Alexa Chaim’s colorful design was second and Neema Mojo’s cat was third.

State Supt. Torlakson visits Del Norte High BY EMILY SORENSEN Del Norte High School received a visit from State Superintendent of Public Education Tom Torlakson on Thursday. Torlakson was in San Diego to visit the classrooms of two of the five California Teachers of the Year. One of the teachers, Megan Gross, is a special education teacher for Del Norte. Gross and Torlakson toured the campus and viewed several classrooms that include Gross’s special education students, including an art class, the school band and a digital media class. “It’s such an incredible honor,” Gross said of the visit. “We’re so excited to have Supt. Torlakson here at Del Norte. It’s a great

opportunity for our students to get the recognition they don’t usually get.” The pair also stopped in for a visit in the classroom of Mark Lantsberger, one of the district’s Teachers of the Year for 2017, and watched physics students race homemade boats in the school’s pool. “Everyone has been super enthusiastic,” said Torlakson. “Megan Gross brags about (Del Norte) and everything I’ve seen underscores what she’s said. It’s clearly a team effort, with teachers inspiring their students and the students exploring and learning.” Torlakson said he saw a lot of self-motivated and self-guided students with great teaching

guides on the tour, and a lot of high school spirit. He praised the student body’s involvement with the Best Buddies program, which is a international nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for one-on-one friendships for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and volunteers. “My daughter used to fundraise for Best Buddies, so I was glad to see the biggest Best Buddies program in the county,” Torlakson said. The tour was followed by a student panel, where Torlakson heard from several students on what they thought set Del Norte High School apart from other schools and how it has benefitted them throughout their school careers.

“The community that has been built here is unlike any other,” said Reagan Cloutier, a senior. “Everyone is supported no matter what.” Senior Isabel Torres said she loves all the opportunities available on campus. “There are so many ways to explore our passions,” she said. Torlakson advised the students to set goals and believe in themselves, and said that their time at Del Norte will provide them with many opportunities in the future. He also advised the students to not underestimate their power and that by banding together with other like-minded people, they could make a difference. “The more you organize, the more impact you have,” Torlakson said.

Other impacted areas include trails in the Lake Hodges area and the Palomar Medical Center Poway (former Pomerado Hospital) vicinity. According to the letters, the proposed project’s description is lacking, per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, especially the project’s “underlying purpose.” Per the letters, “It is unclear from the information presented in the NOP (Notice of Preparation) what the ultimate intensions of SDG&E and SoCalGas are with respect to the proposed pipeline. The first objective is to implement pipeline safety requirements for Line 1600. That can and should be accomplished whether the remainder of the project is implemented or not. The second objective addresses minimizing dependence on a single pipeline, yet the two pipelines would serve different purposes, one a high-pressure natural gas transmission line and the other a low-pressure distribution line. ... The third objective is to enhance operational flexibility by increasing system capacity.” The groups wrote that since a Sempra Energy official recently stated that, due to technology, the county’s use of natural gas is projected to decline, they question the need for a new pipeline unless the utility companies have other objectives not yet revealed. Regarding Line 3602, they want a more detailed project description, including project phases, length and duration of impacted roadways and trails, construction hours, equipment staging locations, road closures and assurances the construction areas will be returned to a condition equal to or better than their current status. As for Line 1600, they want to know when in the process safety testing is to be conducted and if it will happen before the new proposed line crosses it in the vicinity of Pomerado Road and Bernardo Trails Drive. They also want to know about potential pipeline repairs, especially in neighborhoods. Regarding other concerns they want included in the draft EIR: • Traffic impact, especially when the four-lane

Pomerado Road is temporarily reduced to two lanes due to the work. They want an analysis of resulting traffic congestion on adjacent surface streets and Interstate 15 at the Pomerado and Highland Valley roads interchange. Other concerns include mitigation since there will be impacts — especially during commute hours — on access to schools, the hospital, other medical facilities, community centers, religious facilities and commercial centers. The groups specifically requested measures “to ensure safe access out of all neighborhoods and clear routes for emergency vehicles exiting Rancho Bernardo for Pomerado Hospital.” • Traffic congestion during emergency evacuation since “Pomerado Road is the only way for residents of several communities east of Pomerado Road to leave their subdivision (in) case of an emergency order to evacuate (as happened during the 2007 wildfires).” • Increases in noise and vibration during construction. • Potential impacts to existing underground utilities, especially Green Valley Creek since a disruption could “result in temporary interruptions of flow within this storm drain.” They want to know how nearby properties will be protected during its closure. • Ways to maintain aesthetics around above ground components, like mainline valves and regulator stations. • Recreation impact, including closure of the Mule Hill Trail and protection of existing interpretive areas along the affected trail segment. • Impacts to sensitive habitats in the Lake Hodges watershed and protection of yet-undiscovered cultural and/or paleontological resources. • Greenhouse gas emissions over the short- and long-term for both lines. • Public safety regarding Line 1600 since it “is in serious need of testing” and is “immediately adjacent to residential units ... throughout Rancho Bernardo.” Also the plan for initial and future testing and maintenance of Line 3602 since it will be “a high-pressure natural gas line within an existing roadway.” The groups also want alternatives evaluated, including no project, upgrading Line 1600 and not constructing Line 3602, and decommissioning Line 1600 instead of de-rating it. valedictorian Reid Johnson. Also recognized will be salutatorian Amy Walker. The Die Lieders Singers, directed by Jessica Schemmel, will perform Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Also singing will be Sarah Butikofer and Natalie Marriott, performing “Believing,” and Jake Hardison, Trevor Haumschilt and Justin Poulson (on guitar) performing “My Way.” The graduates will safely celebrate at Poway High’s Grad Nite from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in the school gym. This year’s theme is “Monte Carlo Masquerade” and will include casino games, prizes, food and entertainment. Pre-graduation events included a senior breakfast on Tuesday and a senior picnic on Wednesday at Lake Poway.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Women and addiction: A critical health issue BY REGINA HUELSENBECK hen you think of addiction, who do you picture? It’s unlikely you think of a woman, much less a well-educated, mid- to upper-class woman. Yet, this demographic is on the rise in addiction. While rates of substance abuse in women is less than men, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration cites a “shrinking gender gap of substance abuse and dependence.” In short, this epidemic has become a critical women’s health issue.

Genetic factors

Women using an addictive substance often bridge the transition from initial use to dependence more quickly. What starts as a one-time trial introduced by a friend, family member or significant other, can quickly escalate into a disorder. Science shows that women become addicted faster than men due to physiological factors. Because women have a higher percentage of body fat and lower amounts of enzymes that metabolize alcohol, it stays in the bloodstream longer, causing more damage to the brain, cells and organs. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations and the onset of menopause and hormonal swings also alter the body’s responses to substances, particularly alcohol. So, one drink for a male is more like two for a woman. These factors, combined with a small body frame and weight, increase the impact substances have on many women. According to a Harvard study, women who abuse alcohol are more prone to acquire liver disease and brain damage in their lifetime. We know there is a scientific link between alcohol and breast cancer. Women are also more likely to abuse alcohol to cope with issues such as depression, anxiety and stress, oftentimes leading to addiction on top of an existing mental illness.

Barriers to treatment

Women have more barriers to treatment for addiction than men. Oftentimes, due to the pay gap between men and women, there are economic challenges for women to enter rehabilitation programs. If a woman has children, she is often hesitant to go to treatment or ask for help for fear of losing custody of her children. We are failing our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and coworkers. However, research shows that the success rate for women who go to treatment is as high or in many cases higher than it is for men. Women are able to recover and lead healthy, full lives. There is hope.

Getting help

The Surgeon General’s groundbreaking report on alcohol, drugs, and health indicates “only about 10 percent of people with a substance use disorder receive any type of specialty treatment.” With one in seven individuals in American suffering from substance abuse disorder, the likelihood is very high that someone you love is in the throes of this vicious disease. Often those suffering are women you would never suspect as having a problem. With this in mind, it’s time to start watching SEE COMMENTARY, A15

OUR READERS WRITE No love for Sacramento

A history lesson

I read Dick Lyle’s June 1 column and am very upset. Everyone knows that our legislators in Sacramento are self-sacrificing, hard-working folks, skipping lunch and dinner, giving 25 hours a day to their constituents. How could you not be satisfied with the small tax increase that will repave all the streets and freeways – it is also rumored that there will be enough funds left over to build a bridge to Catalina. And high-speed rail, just think of it. San Diego to San Francisco in less than two hours as the bullet train whips around curves and barrels through the tunnel that has been blasted right through the San Andreas Fault. OK, so the planners had to forgo the scenic route over mountain tops but hey, everyone has to give a little. And don’t forget free tuition to the state’s community colleges. Now on the horizon, totally free health, dental and vision care that won’t cost anybody a dime. Isn’t that wonderful? Folks from all over the U.S. can come here as well as from anywhere in the world. I think that Lyles should revisit his thinking and learn to appreciate what state lawmakers like Kevin de León, Josh Newman, Toni Atkins and Richard Lara are giving us citizens. They sure have my vote and should have yours too. Vic Asselin Rancho Bernardo

I was truly amazed at the latest screed from columnist Dick Lyles. He said: “Don’t humans ever learn from history?” I mused. Silly question I realized, because we don’t teach history anymore. It’s hard to learn from it if you don't teach it.” I am sure this statement is news to the hundreds of dedicated teachers in San Diego County who teach history every day. If Lyles had taken just one moment to look at the California state standards, he would have seen that students take a California history class in elementary school. They take a class in ancient civilizations in the sixth grade, medieval world history and geography in the seventh grade, United States history and geography in the eighth grade. In high school, students are required to take a course in European civilization in the 10th grade, 20th century United States history in the 11th grade and either American civics or an Advanced Placement government course as seniors. So, once again, Lyles is demonstrating his ignorance and giving voice to his prejudices not the real facts. And one more thing.

Love trumps hate

had not intended to write a column this week. I changed my mind when I learned that my son’s friend, 23-year old Taliesin Namkai-Meche, was fatally stabbed while coming to the defense of two teenaged girls who were targets of a Portland man's hate-fueled anti-Muslim tirade. I couldn’t resist using my small soapbox to comfort my son and to send a message to Donald Trump,

Congress and parents in our community. Stuart: I’m sorry that you experienced this tragedy on such a personal level. I am deeply saddened that at the age of 25, you’ve known two people who were brutally murdered, the first being Chelsea King. I’m terrified and proud to know with certainty that had you been on the train in Portland, you would have stood up to hate and

injustice just as Talaisin did. I am thankful you had the opportunity to know and be influenced by Taliesin, who you have described as “one of the kindest, brightest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing [whose] seemingly constant positivity was and will continue to be an inspiration.” To honor your friend, I recommit myself to addressing injustice wherever I see it and to walking through this world with the same open heart as Talaisin, whose dying words were, “Tell everyone on this train I love them.” Donald Trump: Allow me to introduce you to the definition of terrorism. It is “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” Note the definition doesn’t mention Muslims. In other words, white

Taking the Point Position

Feinstein in fine shape, if she runs

ew California senators of the last 50 years have been more active than the Dianne Feinstein of early 2017. That’s important mostly because of Feinstein’s age – despite her dark hair, she’ll be 84 next month and will be 85 next November, when she may seek a fifth full term and sixth term overall. For sure, vultures are waiting in the wings for Feinstein to falter, just as they do for every politician over 75. The bulk of the electorate is much younger and many voters can’t even imagine a truly vigorous octogenarian. The latest polls reflect this psychological reality. While Feinstein gets a 59 percent job performance approval rating in a recent survey from the Berkeley IGS Poll, in effect the successor to the long-running and usually reliable Field Poll, the moment respondents were told her age, 62 percent said it would be a bad thing for her to seek reelection. This was good news for Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and members of Congress like Adam Schiff of Burbank and Jackie Speier of San Mateo County, who have made some noises indicating they might be interested in a run if Feinstein drops out. All are Democrats, like Feinstein. In each case, these folks would have to wait at least six more years for a shot at the Senate if Feinstein were reelected. There is little likelihood any of them would oppose new Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris when she’s up for a second term in 2022. And no one knows who else might arise as a potential candidate by 2024, the next time Feinstein’s seat would be up for grabs. Schiff, for instance, was a virtual unknown when Feinstein last ran in 2012, but the House investigation into President Trump’s alleged Russia ties suddenly made him prominent, Schiff’s solid performance enhancing his standing. Similarly, while Garcetti was a mere city councilman five years ago, he was reelected by a huge margin this spring as mayor of America’s second-largest city. But these folks most likely will have to wait. For even though 62 percent say it’s a bad idea for Feinstein to seek another term, that’s before she’s matched up against anyone else. Incumbents almost always fare poorly in generic “should they run or not?” surveys, but when

they’re put up against a real candidate, complete with warts and all, those poll results change quickly. Meanwhile, Feinstein has been acting like a candidate. She’s set up a finance committee and started raising money. She’s as vocal as ever in the Senate. And she’s keeping prospective successors guessing about her plans. In the Senate, Feinstein led the Democratic opposition to the Supreme Court nomination of Neal M. Gorsuch. She has fought firmly against various Republican-proposed plans to revise the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. She’s stuck up, as usual, for women’s rights. These two causes combined in some cases, as when Feinstein argued that the health care plan put forward by Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan would have ended a California requirement that insurance policies cover reproductive health services for women, including abortions. That policy, said Feinstein, “helps ensure women are able to make their own health care decisions…free from political interference.” So Feinstein is acting as determined as ever in fighting for abortion rights and women’s right, long two of her major causes. She’s also the only senator who said much when the Trump administration opened the way this spring for the private Cadiz Inc. to begin tapping ground water in the Mojave Desert and potentially sell it to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. That’s not final yet and Feinstein wants to stop it, as she has helped do several previous times. “The detrimental effect this project would have on the California desert is irreversible,” she said. “Rather than allow a proper environmental review, the…administration wants to open the door for a private company to exploit a natural aquifer and destroy public land.” Cadiz strongly disputed that description. Feinstein here did not sound like someone about to hand off a cause to anyone else. The upshot is that Feinstein appears to be in about as good political shape as she ever has been entering a campaign, bad news for the corps of candidates trying to look uninterested even as they eye her job.

U.S. making Putin a happy man

t is axiomatic that when the major political parties each nominate one of the two most unpopular candidates in history, a highly unpopular candidate will be president. In American politics, the losing party then does everything possible to make the president as uncomfortable as possible by blocking what they can and throwing sand in the gears. The current problem is that President Trump himself is undisciplined, a tyro in politics, vulgar, irrational, opinioned and loves America in a strange sort of way, as indicated by his taking multiple draft deferments so that he never had to serve in the military. And, of course, he followed a smooth gentleman, who, in his own way, hated the America we have and wanted to change it into France. The plebes revolted. The Bastille was breached and now the plebes must learn to control power, something they are doing at least marginally better than Mr. Guillotine. Before the last election, I opined on these pages that the Russians put their thumb on the scales of the election in order to support the candidate most likely to create chaos. Ivan, as we called Russia in the submarine force, has been interfering in U.S. and other western democratic elections for decades. In the past, they have not been particularly effective, but then support of neither candidate was particularly chaotic or had the aptitude for creating chaos in America. Suddenly, opportunity met electronic ability, Trump was elected, and chaos ensued. (On my website I have a précis of Russian

spying on the U.S. until recently, and it runs 23 single-spaced pages. Tinyurl.com/lphd3sk. ) Russian President Vladimir Putin must be very, very happy, and he will be for several years. It makes no difference to Putin whether a U.S. investigation finds that someone(s) colluded with the Russians to help Trump win or not. We care, of course, and the investigation will determine this. There is no doubt that the Russians interfered, the question is, what should we do about it? Since Trump benefitted greatly, he has minimal interest in sanctioning Russia although he certainly should. Our cyber forces can deal Russia a temporary crippling blow, just for a warning. Of course we may have done so covertly, but only a public spanking will sway the Russians. American chaos interferes with our ability to address the Chinese in the South China Sea, North Korea, the Middle East – both militarily and refugees, the humanitarian crises in Venezuela and the list goes on. The special counsel temporarily takes the immediate pressure off the president about Russia, but there is enough chaos within the White House, with leaks that mean he intends to shake up his staff, the firing of an FBI director who arguably may have greater credibility among the public than the president himself, and a recalcitrant Congress not loathe to investigate the president's every move. There is no indication that this president can contain a chaos that has so far left his administration without success except for a Supreme Court justice.

Poway OnStage also hosts master classes with visiting performers for students in the district. Guests can enjoy sampling food, beer and wine from a number of local restaurants and wineries, including 10 Ramona wineries and two from Poway. Participating restaurants include The Barrel Room, Vintana, Café Merlot, Carvers Steaks and Chops, Miguel’s Cocina, the Brigantine and Sushi Lounge.

Some items up for auction include San Diego Gulls game tickets complete with a ride on the Zamboni; four one-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland; a “staycation” in San Diego at the US Grant, complete with two tickets to see the Padres play the Detroit Tigers; A Taylor GS-Mini guitar and a guitar lesson from musician Marc Intravaia; a gourmet lunch, wine and beer for six on a Ericson 41’ sailboat; and an aerial tour of San Diego in a 2010 Cirrus SR22T, piloted by Phil Schneider. June 17 has also been declared Poway OnStage Day by the City of Poway, and Mayor Steve Vaus will be at the event to present the proclamation, which honors Poway OnStage for its work in the community. “We’re very honored,” said Michael Rennie, president and CEO of Poway OnStage. “It’s a chance for Poway OnStage to showcase the good work it does in the community.” Rennie said Poway OnStage’s work with PUSD is something he’s very proud of, as well as the Professional Performance Series, and it’s nice of the city to recognize them. Rennie said Poway OnStage’s mission is to draw attention to Poway countywide with its performance series, and that they serve about 8,000 a year with the series.

and a purpose. Perhaps accessible, affordable professional counseling in addition to, or instead of, incarceration would have served him and all of us better? Parents: When I was 9, I watched my brother pack a knife in his backpack before leaving for school one morning. He seemed agitated and mentioned something about “getting even.” After he left for school, I woke my mother and told her what I’d witnessed. Wearing her bathrobe, she drove to the school and fearlessly inserted herself between my brother and his fellow combatant, pleading to their better selves until the police arrived. Parents, please encourage your children to say something when they see something threatening. And to quote another fearless mother, Asha Deliverance — mother of Taliesin Namkai-Mech —please, when talking to your children, “condemn any acts of violence, which result directly from hate speech and hate groups.” Because as evidenced by the Portland murders, not everything is a dark prank or a false alarm. Sometimes violence and intimidation are real and happen where we live. Teach them about heroes like Talaisin and first responders who, in the face of hate, do not hesitate to do the right thing, even when it means risking their own lives and in doing so teach the rest of us the true meaning of love and courage.

day in America, but only makes the news when it happens to a celebrity. Closer to home, my son’s American girlfriend of Mexican descent has been spat on and told to “go home.” Students in Rancho Bernardo were terrorized by a lockdown after a student discovered a note left in a bathroom reportedly stating that a “white boy” was going to “shoot up” the campus. During your presidential campaign, Mr. Trump, you normalized this type of hateful speech and behavior. And while I know I’m talking to your fact-resistant hand, everyone else understands the connection between your expression of bigoted opinions and increased violence and intimidation. Words matter, and as president, your words matter more. You refuse to call American citizens terrorists because it doesn’t promote your anti-Muslim, anti-Mexican, anti-Semite, anti-black agenda. This must change. Congress: The health care bill you passed in May marks a major shift in national policy for mental health. The AHCA would undo critical mental-health funding for Medicaid and Obamacare enrollees. Court documents and social media postings by the Portland perpetrator paint a picture of a young man who was hardened by years in prison. Those who knew him in his youth describe him as “a good kid from a good neighborhood” who seemed to change in prison and after as he struggled to find a job

Todd Gutschow

November 26, 1960 - May 31, 2017 Poway — Todd Gutschow passed away on May 31, 2017 at his home in Poway, Ca at the age of 56. He was born on November 26, 1960 and grew up in the wisconsin town of Sheboygan. His childhood was quintessentially Midwest, with many adventures up the apple tree in his front yard, working the fields on his Grandpa’s farm, fishing excursions to little known watering holes with his grandparents, and recreational games between all the local community parks. His unyielding pursuit of learning led him to the halls of Harvard University. There he refined his mind and body, completing a bachelor’s degree in physics with cum laude honors while grappling on the wrestling team. after settling in San Diego, Ca, Todd embarked on an entrepreneurial venture in software technology. HNC Software began in october 1986 as a two-man, garage start-up but would eventually grow to over 1200 employees and expand across the globe into international markets. HNC was an early pioneer of neural networks,

allowing computers to recognize patterns in the same way a human brain does. Their most successful deployment of the technology was to detect potentially fraudulent credit card purchases. If you have ever received an alert about a fraudulent charge, that was HNC. The company went public on June 20, 1995 and continued growing for the better part of a decade. HNC was acquired by Fair Isaac Company in 2002 at which time Todd decided to move on to the next chapter of his life. Todd’s passion shifted to the universal right to a quality education. He served on the Board of Directors for several organizations including the Boys and Girls Club, supporting early learning

opportunities, the Classroom of the Future Foundation, incorporating technology in education, and the aVID program, preparing those who would become the first in their family to attend college. He set up the Todd and Mari Gutschow Foundation to pass on the fruits of his labor to enrich a variety of K-12 educational programs. Todd was the local Harvard admissions representative, interviewing prospective applicants and he was always so proud when one of his interviewees was accepted. He was instrumental in the formation of the Poway wrestling Foundation, which expanded resources to develop a state-of-theart wrestling facility on the Poway High campus. Todd also served on the advisory board for the School of Leadership and Education Sciences at the University of San Diego. He was elected to two terms on the Poway Unified School District Board of Trustees where he served as clerk, treasurer and president. Todd promoted the scientific literacy of our children and the stewardship of our natural resources by

supporting the Hubbs Sea world Research Institute as a member of the Board of Trustees. He believed economic innovation did not have to come at the cost of our environment. Todd is survived by his wife of 33 years, Mari; and three sons, Patrick, Matthew (Mindi), and Nathan; parents, Roger (Judy) and Emilee (John); brothers, Chris (annette), Eric (Lolo) and Steve (Liz). a prayer vigil will be held at Poway-Bernardo Mortuary on June 12th from 5-7pm with the service starting at 6pm. The funeral services will be held at St. Gabriel Parish on June 13th at 11am with a reception to follow in the Parish hall. Please visit the mortuary’s website and find Todd’s obituary page for more information. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Todd’s name to the Boys and Girls Club, aVID or the Poway High Foundation-Todd Gutschow Memorial Scholarship.

Allums “embodies the spirit of giving without expecting anything in return,” according to a press release from the district. She has served two terms as PTSA president, parliamentarian and treasurer over the last five years at Twin Peaks. Allums has also initiated multiple events for both students and parents to help them feel better connected to the school, according to the press release. These include a back-to-school parent education event, hosting principal chats with parents, a tour and orientation to ease the transition for new and incoming students and more. Allums has also been integral to countless events, including Character Counts and Volunteer Appreciation breakfasts, Academic Awards Night, the Math Making it Real program, a SWITCH documentary screening and the Adopt-A-Family gift drive, according to the press release.

FINAL ROUND FOR BRANSTETTER Titans’ legendary coach to retire in 2018 after 40 years in Poway

BY TERRY MONAHAN Wayne Branstetter has dodged the question as deftly as he could for more than a decade. When would San Diego’s most successful wrestling coach call it quits on a career that includes four state championships, 35 San Diego Section titles in the last 36 years and a bunch of state championships? “We’ll see,’’ the Poway High wrestling coach would answer in one form or another. Branstetter, who turns 67 in September, has finally figured out it is time to step down as the Titans’ head coach. He will coach this upcoming season, his 40th at Poway and 45th overall, and then step aside. John Meyers, his assistant coach for the last 15 years, will take over the program.

I hope I still have a chair in the building. Wrestling has been “a part of my life since I was 13. ”

And Branstetter will hang a sign on his office door saying, “Gone Fishin!’.’’ “I thought we’d only be in Poway two or three years before we headed back up to Montana,’’ said the Montana native, who moved to Ventura. “Poway was Cow Town when we got here. There was one gymnastics banner and that first wrestling banner in the

gym back then. “I told Patty (his wife) not to plant any trees because we wouldn’t be here long enough.’’ Pausing for a second, he added, “You can see how well that plan worked.’’ While Branstetter’s master plan never quite worked out the way he envisioned it, his plan for the wrestling program at Poway has turned

a team that won its first CIF title in 1978 under Al Dorris into the one of the best in California. His Titans have been state runners-up six times and third another nine times. In all, there have been 27 top-five finishes. “Not in my wildest dreams did I expect all this to happen,’’ Branstetter said, almost amazed at the list of team accomplishments. “Sometimes I just look up and think ‘Wow.’ “I didn’t even know where Poway was when Al asked me at the first state finals, which was held in Peterson Gym that year, if I would replace him. “We had it going on at Channel Islands and I wasn’t looking to leave as much as I just wanted to get out of Oxnard.’’ The father of two daughters and six SEE BRANSTETTER, B4

Strong finish at state closes out Kayla Myers’s career Poway High pole vaulter places 10th in Clovis BY TERRY MONAHAN Sitting down on the infield grass after her final effort in the pole vault for Poway, it hit Kayla Myers that her Titan career had just come to an end. The senior wound up clearing 12-feet in the finals to grab 10th place at the CIF State Championships at Clovis Buchanan High over the weekend. That came one day after she cleared 12-6 in Friday’s prelims, which happened to be her personal best. “This meet definitely went the way I wanted it to,’’ Myers said during the long drive home on Sunday. “I got my PR (personal record) in the prelims to just get to the finals, so that was great. “I PRed in the section finals the last three years, but I wanted a PR at state just one time.’’ As a sophomore, Myers officially no heighted since the opening height was higher than her PR that season. Last year, she cleared 11-6 at state. “I was happy to really perform at state this year,’’ Myers said. “At least I got a few bars under me this time.

“I came a long ways in four years at Poway. I started going 6-foot as a freshman and I’ve more than doubled that at Poway. “It seems like I’ve got more to do, if I can just get a chance somewhere.’’ Rachel Baxter, a senior at Anaheim Canyon, wound up winning this year’s event with a leap of 14-foot. The 5-foot-7 Myers plans to attend Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo) and major in business this fall. She hopes to try out for the track team as a walk-on. “Right after I missed my third try on Saturday in the finals, it finally hit me that I was done as a Titan,’’ Myers said. “I’m not happy it’s over. It’s kind of sad, I guess. “I know there’s a lot more waiting for me on a track somewhere in the future. “I’m not super upset about leaving Poway because I feel like I learned more about life from the pole vault at Poway than I learned about the pole vault.’’ Myers’ teammate, sophomore Mia Cervantes, no heighted in the pole vault in the prelims. Del Norte’s De’Angelo Gunter was

fifth in the 200-yard dash in 21.92 seconds in the prelims but did not qualify for the finals. Gunter was fourth in the 400 in 48.62, also did not reach the finals. Poway’s Jarett Chinn did not make the finals in the 800. He was fifth in the 800 in 1:55.55. However, Chinn was third in the 1,600 in 4:14.94 and finished 10th in the finals in 1:19.42.

Maranatha wins school’s first boys title Eagles still need to work on dogpiling skills BY TERRY MONAHAN Never before has a boys team at Maranatha Christian ever experienced winning a San Diego Section championship in any sport. The girls volleyball and the girls basketball teams captured the school’s first CIF titles during the 2016-17 school year. History has made again Saturday as the baseball team defeated Escondido Charter 6-3 in the Division V championship game at UC San Diego. The fourth victory this season over Escondido Charter began a celebration of the school’s first boys crown. “Losing in the semis the last two years was tough,’’ Maranatha coach Steve Whitley. “This time we overcame that past. “The kids were so ready for this. They even practiced how to dogpile after they did one when we won a tournament earlier this year and the whole thing looked

It did not, however, deter the celebration one bit. For the Eagles, it’s their first title. For Whitley, it’s his second. He coached Vista Calvary Christian to the Division V title in 2012 with an 8-4 win over The Rock at Eastlake

High. “There were like 13 players on the field that day who went on to play at the next level,’’ Whitley recalled. “With every pitch you had the feeling that if you make a mistake the hitter will go yard on

you. Plus it was my first one, just like it was for these kids. “I knew if we play our game this time, we should be OK, although playing the game on paper is a lot different than playing the game on the field.’’ Maranatha raced to the title by winning its last six games and were 11-1-1 in the final 13 games of the season. The Eagles opened the postseason with a 2-0 win over Lincoln before edging Tri-City Christian 1-0. Then in an elimination game, Maranatha beat Tri-City Christian for the fifth time this season by a 6-0 score, earning the top-seed a berth in the championship game. When Escondido Charter scored a first-inning run in the finals, it marked the first time the Eagles were scored on in the playoffs. Maranatha bounced back with three runs in the bottom of the first inning, a signal to the White Tigers that any chance of the No. 2 seed had of pulling off the upset just dissolved. Starting pitcher Byron Smith improved to 10-1 with an 0.77 ERA by holding Escondido Charter to SEE MARANATHA, B4

FROM BRANSTETTER, B1 grandchildren, Branstetter took Channel Islands from having no program to elite status. He had to practice in the school cafeteria every day, moving tables around to put down the wrestling mats after his wrestlers picked up all the empty ketchup packets stuck to the floor. “We took Channel Islands from rags to riches in a short period of time,’’ Branstetter said. By his third season at Poway in 1982, the Titans were section champions again. Four years later, they were crowned state champions for the first time in ’86. “I was real close to taking the job at Clovis one year,’’ Branstetter said. “Real close before I decided to stay. I just couldn’t go to Fresno.’’ There was still work to do. After a while, it became more about the wrestlers and how to prepare them for the rest of their lives instead of hanging another banner. Branstetter loves to win, no doubt about that. Seeing how his wrestlers made their way through life trumped all the glory that came with the championships. “It came down to making a difference in kids’ lives,’’ Branstetter said. “Wrestling is my

platform. As much as I love winning, there’s a higher calling here. “Wrestling is raw life. It’s unforgiving. You can’t blame anyone but yourself when you lose. “Just pick yourself up and get back in there.’’ One of his long-time coaches, Al Torretto, is retiring as a biology teacher in a few days. He spent most of that time helping Branstetter create the Titans’ legend. Branstetter’s platform received a huge lift with the construction and opening of the Dr. Perry L. Munday Wrestling Center near the gym in 2002. Each year during the week preceding the state championships, wrestlers from other section schools headed to the state meet are invited to practice there. The looks on the faces of the visiting grapplers tells as much about the facility as you need to know. Every championship is honored. Every section and state champion gets his name on the walls. There is not another facility like it in Southern California. “I hope I still have a chair in the building,’’ Branstetter said softly in the low whisper he uses for emphasis. “Wrestling has been a part of my life since I was 13.’’ Most of that time was spent wearing a green baseball hat with a big “P’’ for Poway on it.

VICTORIOUS VAQUEROS

The Poway Shootout soccer tournament was held over Memorial Day weekend. The Poway-based Vaqueros Boys 2008 Myers team won the tournament with a 2-1 victory in the finals. Joey Hellen and Jace Olmsted scored the goals for the Vaqueros. The team went 4-0 in the tournament.

Of the three hits he allowed, only one came in the final four innings of work. Smith struck out six and walked just two before switching positions with catcher Zach Bridger, who went the final two innings to save it. The hitting star of the day was junior third baseman Mark Hewitt, who stroked a pair of triples and drove in three runs. “This title means everything,’’ Hewitt said. “We all went home to watch the highlights on TV, especially the dogpile.

“I knew we had the ability to win. We had the players, we had the hitters, we had the pitchers. “The finals can be distracting.’’ Hewitt shook off a long slump during the regular season to drive in nine runs in the postseason to finish as the team’s top RBI producer with 25. “I made a few adjustments for the playoffs and it just clicked,’’ Hewitt said. “I’ve gone in and out of slumps my whole life. Everyone has them. “I’ll remember the playoffs and especially the finals for the rest of my life.’’ And that new banner in the gym will help.

SDMT’s ‘Damn Yankees’ is a solid hit BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Due to a strong, talented cast, San Diego Musical Theatre has hit a home run with “Damn Yankees,” playing at the Spreckels Theatre through June 18. The musical comedy, which debuted on Broadway in 1955, is a modern retelling of a Faust legend. Set in the 1950s, it shows the extent one loyal fan would go in order for his Washington Senators baseball team to beat the ever-strong New York Yankees. Middle-age real estate agent Joe Boyd (Steve Gunderson) is a devoted husband for half of the year, according to his wife, Meg (Tracy Ray Reynolds). But from April to September, he and many other husbands apparently disappear from their wives’ lives due to their devotion to another love: watching baseball. Joe is devoted to his Senators, a team that unfortunately for him cannot win a game, especially when up against the Yankees. After a particularly devastating loss, Joe proclaims he would sell his soul if the Senators could just beat the Yankees. As if waiting for such a proclamation, Mr. Applegate (Neil Dale) appears offering to make Joe a deal. He will turn Joe into a young baseball player named Joe Hardy (Chaz

Feuerstine), but there is a price. Joe Boyd must leave his wife in order to play baseball, and at the end of the season can decide if he wants to continue living the life of a baseball legend or return to his current existence.

A deal is struck, but Joe insists on an escape clause, something Applegate agrees to, but later regrets, especially when he cannot get the younger version of Joe to forget Meg, even with the seductive Lola (Leslie Stevens) trying to

steal his heart, or more aptly, his soul. Dale is devilishly delightful as the smooth-talking, fire-brandishing Applegate, while Feuerstine is aptly cast as the down-to-earth Joe, who just wants to play baseball well so his team can win, then return to his wife. Meanwhile Stevens does a superb job in playing the vixen, Lola, who pulls out all the stops to help Applegate win his bet. The 24-member cast clearly has the acting, singing and dancing chops for the show. The 21 musicians, conducted by Don LeMaster, are also enjoyable to listen to, and the staging by director James Vasquez and choreographer Jill Gorrie not only fills the stage, but appropriately incorporates the orchestra pit in a very symbolic way. The lighting design by Nate Parde adds much to setting the scenes at times. The first act runs a bit longer than in many musicals, but it is not noticeable since the action moves along nicely due to some big dance numbers like “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo” and “Who’s Got the Pain.” The first is particularly enjoyable due to its choreography that includes some impressive stunts by reporter Gloria Thorpe (Katie Sapper) and the baseball players. Other well-choreographed and well-danced numbers were Stevens’ solos, “A Little Brains, a SEE YANKEES, B6

Cowboy Jack to sing in RB on Sunday BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Fans of traditional country music will want to head over to Rancho Bernardo Community Park this Sunday. “Cowboy Jack” Johnson will be performing many familiar country songs for the next installment of Ed Brown Center for Active Adults’ “Sunday Afternoons @ 3” series. The hour-long concert will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 11 in the center, 18402 W. Bernardo Drive. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 12 and under. They will be sold at the door or can be purchased in advance by going to the center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays or calling 858-487-9324. For this solo show, Johnson said he will sing while playing his acoustic guitar and harmonica. With around 300 songs in his repertoire, Johnson said he will play many well-known tunes and take audience requests. The songs include those made famous by Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. “It will be songs like ‘Ring of Fire’ and ‘Hey, Good Lookin’ that the audience will be familiar with,” he said. “I like to get the crowd involved.” Johnson said he has been performing

professionally for so long that he is really good at “eyeballing the audience and (determining) what kind of songs they like.” The Vista resident for more than three decades said he has been playing guitar since childhood. “(Music is) my forte,” he said. “My parents were always playing music since I was a little kid. When I saw Elvis (singing) I picked up a broom (to imitate him playing a guitar). My dad said, ‘We got to get this kid a guitar.’” The “Army brat” said his family was living in Japan when he took his first and only formal music lessons for a week when he was 9 years old. After that he taught himself by playing by ear, listening to tapes and figuring out the music chords. Johnson started performing in the early ‘70s at coffee houses and county fairs throughout California. Though he earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of California San Diego, he continued pursuing a professional music career. It has taken him to venues throughout the United States, including those in Las Vegas and Branson, Missouri; theme parks like SeaWorld, Knott’s Berry Farm, Opryland and Magic Mountain; and honky-tonks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In 1989, he was selected from among 400

musicians to sing at the Grand Ole Opry. There he sang “Truck Drivin’ Man” and “There’s a Tear in My Beer.” According to his website, the response from the 4,400 attendees led to him putting together a tribute band that covers Williams’ music. He is now part of three groups — The North County Cowboys, a three-piece band that covers country music legends; Band in Black, a three-piece Johnny Cash tribute band; and The Hank Show, a five-piece Hank Williams, Sr. tribute band. As for why he enjoys their era of country music, Johnson said, “I like the words, story and music. It’s not too loud, not dirty, but clean and about the facts of life. It’s also for all ages.” Johnson said he performs in about 25 shows per month, where he does not imitate the well-known musicians, but sings in a similar vocal style. His favorite singer is Williams because “he was amazing. He recorded 80 hits, but died at 29. So he recorded those in seven years.” Cash is another favorite because “I like his simple words,” Johnson said. “He talks about life and is honest when presenting his life and life in general. He was also from the area my dad was from in Arkansas. They are hard-working, good, honest people, most of

them.” Johnson said he has performed in the Rancho Bernardo/Poway area many times, including in Old Poway Park and at the Poway Days Parade.

Little Talent” and “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets.” Other enjoyable numbers, due to their vocals or staging, included “Goodbye, Old Girl” that showcased Gunderson, “Those Were the Good Old Days” featuring Dale, “Two Lost Souls” — a duet for Stevens and Feuerstine, and “Near to You” — a duet for Reynolds and Feuerstine. While the show had a bit of a dated feel to it, there were a few contemporary references that freshened it up a tad. In all, the show was enjoyable and should be particularly entertaining if one is a baseball fan. “Damn Yankees” can be seen at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays through June 18 at the Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway in downtown San Diego. Tickets are $22 to $72, with discounts available to seniors, children, students, groups and those under age 30. Purchase at sdmt.org or 858-560-5740.

a 6-year-old Russian Blue cat, is looking for a new family to love. This dashing boy was a beloved family member in his last home and he loved following his humans around the house, snuggling on their laps and getting his chin scratched. When their new baby came, he loved snuggling close to her, but unfortunately she was very allergic so they had to make the difﬁcult decision to bring him to the shelter. Navi has made friends with everyone he meets because he’s so outgoing and social. He enjoys chasing lizards and bugs, staring out the window and playing with toys. Navi is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Cauliflower is the New Kale

ow temps and other quirky weather patterns in California’s central valley — the agricultural nucleus of the West Coast — has caused cauliflower to become caviar costly. But this highbrow crucifer with an antioxidant oomph and starchy, potato-like texture is well worth the sticker shock. Here’s why. Cauliflower Power: A member of the Brassicaceae family with noble cousins (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, turnips and watercress), the giant cauliflower head with its tightly packed florets is high fiber, low cal and fat free — so long as you don’t pile on the butter and cheese. Its “curd” also has a surprisingly hearty dose of Vitamin C to ratchet up the immune system. There’s much more. Having a rich store of omega-3 fatty acids, this mighty crufier is an anti-inflammatory warrior to alleviate creaky, achy arthritic joints. Abundant antioxidants kick free radicals to the curb, lower the risk for assorted cancers (especially breast and bladder) and cardiovascular disease, and put the skids on physical signs of aging. A healthy helping of B9s (folate) makes cauliflower an ideal pregnancy food for the developing fetus.

COURTESY

The technicolor varieties of cauliflower are even more healthy than the albino ones. Finally, its load of calcium, phosphorous and selenium boosts bone strength, while other elements and enzymes detoxify the liver. One word of cauliflower caution: For those with thyroid problems, eat it in moderation as the crucifer tinkers with the absorption of iodine, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the gland. In Technicolor: Pedestrian-hued white cauliflower can be swapped out for its show-stopping, jewel-toned siblings — whether vibrant purple, soft coral or lime green. The Technicolor varieties are even

healthier than the albino ones, containing an extra dose of antioxidant phytonutrients. The purple heads are packed with anthocyanins, the same pigments in red wine and cabbage with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer properties, while the orange-tinted curd is the result of a genetic mutation that enables the florets to retain beta carotene, endowing this variety with Vitamin A for skin and eye health. The green cauliflower is actually a hybrid cross of cauliflower and broccoli, known as broccoflower. These pigments not only dial up the body’s defenses, and please the eyes, but also awaken the palate with rich, nutty nuances. Pick a Winner: When choosing cauliflower make sure it is firm with a good heft. Examine the florets for soft or dark spots, blemishes or mold, and discard these heads. The stem should have a satiny gloss, while the leaves a fresh and bright green appearance. Don’t rinse cauliflower until ready to use, and store for several days in the coolest part of the refrigerator like the crisper drawer. Use Wisely: The versatile crucifer can be enjoyed raw, cooked or pickled as an appetizer or snack, side dish, soup, salad, relish, or incorporated into a main dish meal. The tough green stalk and leaves can also be used to make soup stock. Cauliflower pairs well with garlic, assorted cheeses, nuts and raisins, along with the pungent spices of India and the Middle East, particularly turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cardamom, ginger, mustard seed, sumac and saffron. A trio of purple, green and orange or white florets makes striking eye candy on a crudité

Garlic & Parm Roasted Cauliflower ■ Ingredients: 1 head of cauliflower; 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil; 2 large garlic cloves, minced; juice from one lemon; 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese; paprika ■ Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut cauliflower florets into bite-size pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings. Add cauliflower and coat well. Spread chunks on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for about 25 minutes until tender and golden. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. If desired, return to oven just long enough for cheese to melt. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

platter. Finely diced cauliflower blended with butter or olive oil and goat cheese is a healthier change up for mashed potatoes. Pick a peck of pickled peppers, cucumbers, carrots and cauliflower florets for a farmer’s medley to serve with sandwiches or as a side salad. Blend in frittatas, risottos, primavera pastas, taboulis, vegetarian soups, chilis or curries. Steam, stir fry, sauté, grill or roast with a handful of simple ingredients for crispy florets that burst with fresh flavors of spring and summer.

Five surprising facts about migraine headaches TO YOUR HEALTH

igraine headache is one of the most common medical conditions in the United States – and also one of the most commonly misdiagnosed. Despite the belief that migraines are rare, statistics estimate that migraine headache affects about 20 percent of the population. Moreover, because migraines are often missed by physicians or not reported by patients, the actual number is likely much higher. Here are five facts about migraine that might surprise you. 1. A “sinus headache” or “tension headache” is likely migraine. Although sinusitis, or inflammation of the sinuses, is a common diagnosis, it typically doesn’t cause a headache. An actual “sinus headache” is extremely unusual and most headaches in the sinus region are really migraines that affect the nerves in that area. Tension headaches are more common, but are generally not painful enough to need medical attention. In other words, if your headache is bad enough that you need to call the doctor, it is probably a migraine. 2. Most people with migraine don’t see an “aura.” You often hear that migraine headache is accompanied by visual disturbances such as flashing lights or blurry vision, but

these “auras” actually are rare, affecting only about 10 percent of people with migraine. Similarly, only about 15 percent of patients vomit. Nausea, however, is a common migraine symptom, as is sensitivity to light and dizziness. Additionally, not all migraine headaches are one-sided or pulsating; a headache that affects the whole head or feels like a tight band may be a migraine if there are other symptoms such as nausea and light sensitivity. 3. Foods don’t trigger migraine. Chocolate, cheese, citrus, dairy and other foods have long been blamed for triggering migraine headaches, but they may not be to blame. “Food triggers, for the most part, are not supported by the evidence and in fact some, such as chocolate, have actually been disproven,” says neurologist Emily Rubenstein Engel, M.D., associate director of the Dalessio Headache Center at Scripps Clinic. “So many patients have been given limited diets to avoid migraine triggers but they haven’t been told not to go hungry, and ironically hunger itself is one of the major triggers of migraine.” Dr. Engel adds that hormones are a significant trigger. “Hormones are under-recognized and under-addressed, especially among women in perimenopause. These patients with migraine often get unusual symptoms such as dizziness that they didn’t used to have.”

4. Frequent headaches aren’t normal. Migraine headaches are divided into two classes: episodic and chronic. Chronic migraine occurs more than 15 days a month; episodic is less frequent. Because chronic migraine patients have headaches so often, they start to believe it is normal to have some type of headache almost every day. Many take over-the-counter pain relievers daily instead of seeking medical help, so their condition often goes undiagnosed. Moreover, non-prescription pain relievers aren’t meant to be taken on a regular basis, and doing so can lead to other health problems such as stroke. If you have frequent headaches, don’t try to treat them on your own; make an appointment with a neurologist for an evaluation. 5. Migraine can be treated and prevented. With the right treatment, migraine can be prevented. Several prescription medications, taken daily for six months to a year, are intended to break the migraine cycle. Botox injections are another FDA-approved alternative for chronic migraine prevention; patients receive 31 injections in specified sites every three months. These preventive approaches work by blocking the release of inflammatory pain chemicals which lead to migraine. Other prescription medications can help stop migraine headaches after they have started.

Several prescription medications, taken daily for six months to a year, are intended to break the migraine cycle. Dr. Engel notes that The American Headache Society recommends against narcotics such as Vicodin for migraine pain. “Part of problem is it doesn’t treat the underlying inflammation that causes pain, so you’re numb to it but you’re still having injury in the brain,” she says. “You’re not properly treating it, so it pushes you into chronic migraine.” New therapies on the horizon include a preventive treatment that targets migraine pain receptors, and a handheld device that stimulates the vagal nerve, which may help prevent migraine pain. “It’s important to know that if you have migraine headaches, you’re not alone and it is treatable,” says Dr. Engel. “Help is out there.” “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

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.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

What good is that award?

ortland, Maine friends Lester and Barry recently visited Little Italy. Meeting at my house for dinner their last night in town, Lester handed me the San Diego Downtown News list of best restaurants and observed a curious anomaly. “Here are two Gold Medal winners. One has a four-paragraph write-up providing some romance, history and reasons for visiting. The second has nothing.” True enough, one establishment’s story overflowed with terms like organic, vegan, flavor and freshness; the other provided an address and nothing else. Meaning side-by-side one of the entries would automatically capture more attention and business than the other. The same pattern repeated through 62 culinary categories and 58 business types, leaving us shaking our heads. Some businesses were promoting the heck out of themselves. They obviously saw this as (no pun intended) a golden opportunity to grow the bottom line. The others were just … there. There were 259 businesses highlighted in this issue. A mere 11 percent provided write-ups about themselves. Yes, there was a promotional cost. After readers cast their “Best of” votes, the newspaper encouraged medal winners to buy an ad to increase visibility. The smart ones took advantage

of the opportunity to raise their profile. One additional customer probably paid for the ad’s cost. Think about it: You see a gold medalist without ad or write-up followed by a silver medalist with both ad and interesting story. Lester visited the guys who tried to grab their attention. Just being on the list was a benefit, of course, but not enough to lure these customers’ dollars. Regardless of whether you’ve won an award lately, you’re probably also missing opportunities to promote your business. All over the web there are sites and lists with business profiles. From Google to Chambers of Commerce and everywhere in between there are directories large and small inviting a summary of your offerings. Will they make a difference? As Grandma Bertha used to say; “It couldn’t hurt.” Keeping handy a 2-3 paragraph stock description of your business ensures you’re ready to painlessly jump into a range of promotional opportunities the moment you see them. Publicity, directories, contests and silent auctions all beckon to help you market yourself at little or no cost. All you need to do is be prepared. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Learn to promote your business at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Sun Orthodontics can help brighten your smile BY EMILY SORENSEN Looking to straighten your teeth? Need some more intensive work done on your smile? Check out Sun Orthodontics at 16766 Bernardo Center Drive, Suite 216. The Rancho Bernardo practice celebrated its 20th anniversary in May and hopes to continue helping people smile for another 20, said owner and founder Dr. Melanie Duong. Duong said that Sun Orthodontics offers quality care for patients of all ages and extraordinary services in a warm and inviting atmosphere. “We’re passionate about our patients,” she said. “We spend a lot of one-on-one time with our patients and their families to get to know them.” Duong said her practice treats all spectrums of orthodontic problems, from minor teeth crowding to more serious issues, and she collaborates with dentists from other fields in order to treat more complex cases. Her practice offers traditional braces, Invisalign and an accelerated orthodontics treatment using new technologies to speed up teeth straightening. Duong also credited her staff, many of whom have been with the practice for years, for its success. “My staff has over 20 years combined clinical experience,” she said. “I hand-pick each staff member. They’re experienced, warm and caring.” Making clients comfortable is important to Duong and her staff, and that includes helping her patients get reimbursed by insurance, filling out paperwork and anything else they can do to help make the process smoother. “We’re flexible to get you in and out,” she said. “We stagger our hours so we can be open earlier or later on some days and we are open one Saturday a month. We go all out to make things easier for our patients.” Duong said that having been open 20 years, it’s not uncommon to have

Dr. Melanie Duong at a recent celebration of her 20th year in practice. patients she treated as children come in now as adults with their own children. “The fun part of the job is getting to know my clients over a long period of time,” she said. Duong immigrated to the United States in 1975 and was a research chemist dealing with radiation fallout in her first career. “It was fun and exciting, but too dangerous dealing with radiation every day,” she said. Instead, she decided to pursue a new career in dentistry and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Alabama. She joined the Air Force and practiced dentistry for eight years, including being stationed in Germany. Duong said she decided to specialize in orthodontics because she loves working with people, working with her hands, and science and technology. “Orthodontics allows me to combine these,” she said. Sun Orthodontics is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays. It is closed Fridays and opens one Saturday a month by appointment only.

Buying a home: How to know how high to go COURTESY PHOTOS

Poway buildings sold The sales of two buildings in the Poway Business Park were recently announced by the involved real estate firms. Sorrento West Properties, Inc., purchased a 117,354-square-foot industrial building on 7.21 acres at 14145 Danielson St. (above) for $20 million. Kidder Mathews Executive Vice President Mickey Morera and Senior Vice President James Duncan represented the seller in the off-market transaction. Sorrento West Properties represented itself. Hotel Mediterranean LLC and 13th and E, LLC purchased a 25,620-square-foot office building at 12975 Brookprinter Place for $5.36 million. The seller was Brookprinter Dev LLC. The major tenant is Gould Electric

(StatePoint) Shopping for a home? Before you begin your search, it’s important to figure out what you can comfortably afford. “The interesting thing about home buying is that it isn’t a one-size-fits-all process,” says Mike Dawson, a vice president at Freddie Mac. “After all, it’s your budget and these are your housing needs. Doing your homework to figure out what those needs are is the critical first step.” Before you start shopping, learn how much you can borrow. Free online resources, such as Freddie Mac’s “How Much You Can Afford” calculator, found at calculators.freddiemac.com, can help you get a handle on this figure during the preliminary stages of your search. This estimate is based on income, fixed monthly payments such as auto loans and student loans, and the terms of the loan you plan to take out. You may also consider speaking to a lender at this stage. If you qualify for a loan, he or she will provide you with a pre-approval letter stating how much home you can afford and the maximum amount you are qualified to borrow. Having this letter can help show the seller that you are a committed and qualified buyer. Keep in mind that the amount your lender is willing to lend is not always how much you should borrow. You should borrow only what you feel you can comfortably repay through monthly mortgage payments. Wait to take this step until you are actually on the hunt, as pre-approvals are usually good for only a limited time. When determining your budget, consider the length of your loan and the type of loan you want. Do you want to pay back the money that you borrow over 15 years or 30 years?
