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
