BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN Former Poway Unified School District Supt. John Collins is facing felony charges for allegedly misappropriating public money and filing a false financial disclosure form. A complaint filed by the San Diego District Attorney on Friday listed five felony counts against Collins. Those include charges that he misused vacation, sick and leave time, illegally used a district purchasing card, and lied on a state financial disclosure form, during the period between Jan. 12, 2012, and April 1, 2016. If convicted on all those counts, Collins, 63, could face up to seven years and eight months in

local prison, said Steve Walker, spokesman for the District Attorney’s Office, in an email. Collins was notified of the charges through a letter and will be arraigned Thursday in San Diego Superior Court, Walker said. John Collins Neither Collins nor his attorney Paul Pfingst could be reached for comment Tuesday. Poway school officials also declined to comment on the criminal charges. School board President Michelle

O’Connor-Ratcliff said its unclear how the criminal charges will play into an ongoing civil case the district filed against Collins last year. “I don’t know how the criminal charges will affect the civil suit, if at all,” she said, adding that the board has turned its focus back to educational goals under new Superintendent Marian Kim-Phelps. Collins was fired in July 2016 after a forensic audit of his pay concluded that he collected more than $345,000 in unauthorized pay over the last several years and then tried to thwart an investigation into his compensation. The audit SEE COLLINS, A9

Bernardo Heights Bobcats get a new principal Marie Galaz was an assistant principal at Del Norte High BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A new principal will be greeting Bernardo Heights Middle School’s 1,450 students when they resume their studies on Aug. 23. Marie Galaz, who has been an assistant principal at Del Norte High since 2011, has been promoted to her first principal position. She is replacing Tim Biland, who was hired by the Escondido Union School District to be principal of Rincon Middle School. Galaz said her experiences at Del Norte have given her insight into preparing sixth, seventh and eighth graders for the academic and social challenges in the years ahead. “I want to create and maintain a supportive, fun, happy, healthy place that includes supporting (students) for the challenge to successfully transition to Rancho Bernardo (High), college and careers,” Galaz said. “They need to be ready academically, socially and emotionally ... to be successful.” While much is expected of the typically 12- to 14-year-old students and they are going through a lot of changes as they mature, Galaz said they are still young. “I know where we need to get them (for) high school ... but we also need to remember they are

We need to support that growth.” Galaz said it was at the age of her young charges now that she

discovered interests that led to her earning a bachelor’s degree in history and political science at UC San Diego and master’s in history at San Diego State University. “I had an amazing history teacher for sixth, seventh and

Apply now for free, reduced-price school meals Eligibility based on income and other factors BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The Poway Unified School District is accepting applications for its free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs for students, officials announced. The National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs run from July 1 through June 30, 2018. A new application must be submitted each year since a student’s eligibility status from the previous school year expires 30 days into the new school year. If their eligibility expires, students have to pay full price for meals unless their household receives a notification letter for free or reduced meals. School officials do not have to send reminders or expired eligibility notices, officials said. Eligibility is based on income and household size. For a chart, go to tinyurl.com/PUSDmeals17-18. Those not eligible now might become eligible later in the year if their income and household size changes, so the district accepts applications at any time during the school year. Some families do not need to apply in order

to qualify if they received a notification letter saying all children in their household automatically qualify for free or reduced-price meals since a household member receives benefits from CalFresh, CalWORKs, Medi-Cal or FDPIR. School officials must be notified if a child in a household is not listed on the notification or if the household is turning down the meals. Other students also eligible for the programs are those who meet the definition of foster, homeless, migrant or runaway. Children enrolled in Head Start also are eligible for free meals. Those who might be eligible include households receiving Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, infants and Children (WIC) benefits and non-foster children if a foster child lives in their household. To submit an application, go to myschoolapps.com. For assistance in filling out the form, call Lauri Patton at 858-668-2570. Applications must be submitted to Poway Unified’s Food and Nutrition Department.

From prison to graduation: Poway Adult School helps RB man rebuild life BY EMILY SORENSEN For Rodney Lacanienta and the other graduates of the Poway Adult School on Aug. 2, it was the culmination of a long, difficult road. Lacanienta, 37, was one of 26 PAS students to receive their high school diploma at the ceremony, along with over 150 students who received their high school equivalency certificate. He was also the student speaker at the ceremony. “I was supposed to graduate in 1997, but I was big into drugs,” said Lacanienta, a Rancho Bernardo resident. “I got suspended for fighting and I just never attended class.” Lacanienta’s drug troubles led to him spending 20 years in and out of prison. “The whole time, I was just languishing,” he said. “Doing drugs. I didn’t have any motivation to do anything at all.” In 2013, as he was celebrating another birthday in jail, Lacanienta said he prayed the shortest prayer he’s ever made. “I just said, ‘God help me,’” he said. Lacanienta said he decided to get sober and stay sober following that birthday and reached out to his estranged family for help. “I hadn’t spoken to my family for eight years,” he said, “because I didn’t want them to see me like that. I reached out to them and said I wanted to change.” He stayed with his family while he got clean, something he said he isn’t sure how he managed. “I don’t know how I did it, but I stayed sober,” he said. “I even stopped smoking, and I was a two-pack-a-day smoker before.” Going back to school and getting his diploma, however, wasn’t something he ever thought about doing. “I hate tests,” he said, “and I’d been out of school for so long.” But after his father suggested he get his diploma from the Poway Adult School, Lacanienta said he decided to do it because he didn’t know what else to do. “What else was I going to do?” Lacanienta asked. “I didn’t have any marketable skills.” Despite his initial hesitancy, Lacanienta said he took going back to school seriously and was helped thanks to a lot of SEE GRADS, A15

Abraxas High School has new principal BY EMILY SORENSEN Abraxas High School began its new school year on July 20 with a new principal. Alain Henry took over the position on July 12, following the departure of David MacLeod. He was an assistant principal at Abraxas who took over as principal in 2013. MacLeod left the district to serve as the new superintendent of Warner Unified School District in Warner Springs. Prior to coming to Abraxas, Henry taught for eight years at an alternative education campus in Colorado for eight years that he helped start. He taught in special education and alternative education students for 17 years prior to that, in Colorado, Vermont and San Luis Obispo. “I got tired of winter,” Henry said about his decision to take the job of principal at Abraxas. Henry said he had scouted out possibilities last summer, and with his son graduating and moving out, it seemed like a good time to make the move. “I liked the area, and I was lucky enough to be a job here,” he said. Henry said he has experience with a wide variety of students who struggled for a wide variety of reasons. “I got into administration to work with kids at the school level,” he said. “Helping kids navigate difficult times is what we’re about.” Henry said that he has a “big learning curve” in these first few months as he gets used to both the California education system and Abraxas. “Abraxas is a bigger school than I’ve been at,” he said, “and it has two programs, with the Transition program, a program that provides training for special needs individuals between the ages of 18 and 22 across education, community, vocational and independent living domains. I have to learn how they complement each other.” He said he is looking to define what it is teachers and staff do at Abraxas, which kids they are best suited to help and how to expand who they can help “to get them through this time in their life, get their diploma a build toward a solid future,” Henry said. “High school is a stepping stone to what’s next,” he said. “I don’t want kids to graduate and then be adrift.” While Henry doesn’t have any specific changes in mind for the future, he said he FROM REGISTRATION, A3 Wednesday, at a time based on students’ last names. Sixth grade orientation will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 16 in the gym from 1 to 2:30 p.m. for last names A-L and 3 to 4:30 p.m. for last names M-Z. There will be various activities and a school tour.

Make-up registration is 4 to 6 p.m. next Thursday or starting at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 23. Camp BOOST (Bring On Our Sixth Team) for all incoming sixth graders will be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

EMILY SORENSEN

Alain Henry, the new principal at Abraxas High School. plans to continue with Abraxas’ garden project, including finishing the solar and greenhouse projects that were started after the school won a grant last year. The garden just passed producing one ton of produce, Henry said, most of which was donated to the community. “It’s a phenomenal project,” he said. “Kids get to see that the community actually cares about them and they can give back to the community.” Henry said he’d like to implement more types of these projects that get involved. “If the idea comes from the kids themselves, that’s ideal,” he said. One such idea was really suggested by a student who wants to start a weightlifting club at the school. Henry allowed the student to present the idea at a staff meeting, and after teachers volunteered to help out, the club was born. “That kind of student, who is driven and interest-based, that makes education powerful,” Henry said. “It could lead to a career as a personal trainer or weightlifter and it all starts with the opportunity to start a club. I really want to re-engage kids and get them fired up, that’s when you know you’re successful.” ■ Oak Valley Middle School registration is 8 to 11 a.m. each day, with eighth graders on Tuesday, seventh graders on Wednesday and sixth graders next Thursday, at a time based on their last name. New student orientation will be 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17. It will include a campus tour and team-building activities to build friendships, strengthen self-esteem and empower students for success. Students need to bring a snack. Details and forms are at tinyurl.com/OVMS17-18. ■ Twin Peaks Middle School registration will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Wednesday and next Thursday for all grades at a time based on last name. Make-up registration will be 8 a.m. to noon Monday, Aug. 21, based on last name, but no photos will be taken that day. Sixth grade orientation will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Monday for last names A-L and Tuesday for last names M-Z. The second annual “Sixth Grade School Year’s Eve” will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 22 in the campus quad, during which the sixth grade schedules will be distributed.

Helping women, girls is what attracted North SD Soroptimist president Nancy Eastman says the club supports a wide variety of projects BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The ability to help many women and girls is what attracted Nancy Eastman to becoming a Soroptimist, she says. Eastman, the 2017-18 Soroptimist International of North San Diego president, said she learned about the organization doing “so many good things” from her best friend in another Soroptimist chapter in San Diego that met far from her Rancho Peñasquitos home. So three years ago Eastman, a retired executive at a software development firm, decided to join the group that meets in Rancho Bernardo and for most of its history was known as Soroptimist International of Rancho Bernardo. However, a couple years ago the members decided to change their chapter’s name to better reflect the fact that they hail from many local communities between the Inland Corridor and coast, not just Rancho Bernardo. While women and girls are the focus, Eastman said the organization actually helps a range of people through six or seven smaller projects in addition to the larger ones it supports. She said the club assists teens leaving the foster system by

providing educational scholarships, it helps teens struggling in school, supports efforts to combat human trafficking, assists women rebuilding their lives as they escape domestic violence and provides Lifeline pendants to elderly women who live alone so they can call for help after a fall, for example. “The breath of support (we provide) is very rewarding,” she said. “It is not tremendously (hard) to impact somebody’s (life).” Eastman said one of the club’s main programs is its Live Your

$10,000 award from the Soroptimist Federation. The Dream It, Be It program is another she mentioned. It helps high school girls facing obstacles gain career guidance through a seven-week course.

Dream award, which helps single moms return to school so they can learn a trade or earn their college degree. Hearing the stories of the recipients — what they have gone through and how the scholarship money helped them turn their lives around — Eastman said is rewarding. “It is a rewarding thing to see them come out on the other end,” she said. Likewise, the club’s combined efforts with the Poway Soroptimists to provide 18 months of transitional

housing to women and their children who are feeling an abusive domestic situation is also a favorite. “We give them the tools to move forward with the rest of their lives,” Eastman said. The recipients can also move forward in the organization’s program and be eligible for additional funding. For example, she said 2017 winner Cynthia Monroe received $1,500 from the North San Diego chapter then $5,000 from the local district. That made her eligible to compete for a

raised accusations that Collins padded his salary by collecting unauthorized vacation payouts, taking off-the-books vacation days, receiving unearned raises and accruing longevity pay far in excess of what his contract allowed. At the time he was fired, Collins was the highest paid school superintendent in the county, earning $308,900 per year, with total compensation of $457,347 including extra pay, benefits and retirement. But texts and documents showed that he faced personal money woes so severe that he sometimes had trouble paying bills and had to sell his house after a threat of foreclosure. The district filed a civil suit against him last year to recover the money. But hearings on the case were repeatedly postponed, as Collins faced a criminal investigation, and attempted to settle the civil charges through mediation with the district. In January, Collins revealed in court filings that the San Diego District Attorney’s Office was looking into criminal complaints against him, and asked the court to stay the civil case until the criminal investigation was finished. In April, he entered mediation with the district, but a month later, disclosed in court documents that they did not reach a settlement. The most recent case conference, on July 28, was also continued. Deborah Sullivan Brennan writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

All Soroptimists in the county are working together to fight human trafficking and raise

FROM PRINCIPAL, A1 history teacher in high school.” Her favorite historic period is the French Revolution because it was a time when the people were trying to find their voices and have a say in their lives, she said. Galaz said she was also inspired by her stepmother, who was a teacher. “I grew up in her classroom, helping to set it up at the end of summer,” she said. The Sacramento-area native said she came to San Diego for college and never wanted to leave, for many reasons. These included meeting her husband of 15 years, Leandro, while they were UC San Diego students. He also works in education, initially as a high school counselor and now as a professor at California State University San Marcos. The couple lives in north Escondido with their 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter.

Her career started in the classroom, as a middle school English teacher in San Diego Unified School District, but she soon switched to La Jolla High School to teach history, English and art history. By 2004, Galaz was teaching world and art history at San Marcos High School, where she was named its 2005-06 Teacher of the Year. It was at San Marcos High that Galaz said she was given opportunities, through leadership positions, to learn about the administrative side of education. “I was really lucky at San Marcos to have an amazing principal who gave me opportunities outside of the classroom,” she said. These included being the campus’ Western Association of Schools and Colleges coordinator — she was the primary writer of its report to earn a six-year accreditation — and responsible for coordinating its Advanced Placement program.

positions helped Galaz learn about other campus departments and see how she could help more than just her students. “I liked the idea of affecting lives not just in my classroom,” she said.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Buyer beware BY SENATOR JOEL ANDERSON “Fast service, quality parts, low price: pick two.” As a young man I saw this wry message on a poster hanging on the wall at my mechanic’s shop while I waited to have my car repaired. I always appreciated the honesty of it – they didn’t promise something they weren’t able to deliver. Sacramento should take a lesson from my mechanic. California’s legislative leaders in the super-majority make many promises to their constituents: a living wage, good infrastructure, affordable healthcare. Many bills are passed every year with very worthy goals of improving life for working class families. Unfortunately, many of these bills are not designed to actually deliver what’s promised. I think it’s wrong to make promises to constituents that you don’t intend to keep. Take last year’s minimum wage increase for example. During the Senate floor debate, I called it a false promise. Mandated wage increases drive up the cost of goods and services, reducing low-wage workers’ buying power. And as the recent University of Washington study on Seattle’s $15-per-hour minimum wage shows, it also means fewer jobs for low-wage earners. In Seattle, lower wage jobs are being eliminated and most likely absorbed by higher-paid positions filled by more-experienced workers, thus reducing opportunities for lesser-skilled or entry-level workers. Further, whatever paycheck gains the minimum wage increase might have possibly given workers will almost immediately be eaten up by the new 12-cents-per-gallon tax increase on gasoline, which itself was a false promise. In April, legislative leadership and the super-majority pushed through a tax increase that hits Californians with lower incomes the hardest. The new gas tax will cost families an additional $700 per year for their own vehicles on average, in addition to higher priced food and consumer goods due to increased transportation costs. Sadly, leadership’s transportation bill failed to include any reforms at Caltrans to ensure efficient use of this new infusion of tax dollars, despite repeated audits of the agency showing waste, fraud and over staffing. The promise of better roads will be another empty one. In June, the Senate passed a single-payer health plan, Senate Bill 562, which promised to provide healthcare for all. SB 562’s estimated cost, however, was $400 billion – more than double the entire current state budget. Yet the bill was only 38 pages, contained no implementation details and provided no funding source. It was clear to me that SB 562 would never make it through the rest of the legislative process, and that prediction came true when Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon pulled the bill as soon as it got to the Assembly. He said: “This bill wasn’t even half-baked. It wasn’t even a bill. It was an incomplete list of principles.” I agreed with the speaker. Unfortunately, this description could be applied to a lot more bills than just SB 562. Leadership does not need to keep paying lip service and making empty promises. We can create a real path to economic security for all SEE BUYER, A11

OUR READERS WRITE Districts a good thing Elections by district mean representation by your neighbor. It means that your new Poway City Councilmember will listen to you because they live where you do. Despite his July 27 letter, Councilman Dave Grosch is wrong, money does win elections. In the last election and most elections in Poway, the two candidates who won spent the most money. Poway charges $900 just to be in the voter pamphlet! Councilmembers hate elections by districts because it means maybe those in south Poway get a voice. It means that probably most voices on future councils will have something to say about housing being added to the already-dense south Poway and other dense areas. It would mean that the next low-income housing project could be in a councilmember’s backyard. It would mean the city manager, one of the highest paid in the state at almost $400K per year total compensation, will have to make sure the south Poway parks are kept nice. Community Park looks the worst it ever has this summer, horrible weeds everywhere and garbage cans not replaced after removal for a storm in January. The dog park and ballfields also are the worst they’ve ever been. By-district elections sound great for all of Poway. Jonathan Ryan Poway

PUSD needs districts Let me get this straight, columnist Dick Lyles (July 27) writes that district specific elections will destroy our state and our nation. Really? Holding district specific elections will make running for the school board or city council less expensive than it is now. It

will also diminish the influence teachers' unions have over school board trustees that feel obligated to vote for pay raises regardless of the financial condition of the school district. The premise for Lyles' opinion to keep the district elections as they currently are is that the Poway Unified School District is one of the best-run school districts in the nation. If true, how does Mr. Lyles explain the rampant corruption that occurred under the John Collins' tenure? How does Mr. Lyles explain the school board approving the capital appreciation bonds that added $1 billion of debt to our community? How does Mr. Lyles explain our school board facing budget deficits as far as the eye can see? Finally, what loosely defined standard did Mr. Lyles use to profess being a best-selling author?

More open space, fewer homes I fear that a contagion is creeping into Poway.

Coming soon to both are residential developments: along Poway Road, expect to see three- and four-story buildings containing possibly 1,400 new residences. In StoneRidge there will be 180 new residences. The latter development will be on a ballot for the voters to decide. The Poway Road plan, however, is in the final steps of acceptance by the City Council. For two years the city has been studying and SEE LETTERS, A11

California Focus BY THOMAS ELIAS

Unions won’t lie down

here’s a good chance that using union dues for politics will become harder within a year or two and, one thing for sure: big labor will not easily accept that kind of new reality. Three times in the past 15 years, ballot initiative campaigns led by conservative Republicans tried unsuccessfully to truncate the power and influence of California’s labor unions, both public employee organizations and others. “Paycheck protection” was the label applied to those efforts, which sought to prevent unions from using dues money raised via automatic payroll deductions for political purposes. The most recent such effort, in 2012, looked to force unions to get authorization each year from each member before their dues money could be used for candidate contributions, canvassing for votes or circulating initiative petitions.

Labor unions pushed back each time, claiming that if paycheck protection ever becomes law, the political playing field will be tilted strongly to the right, with the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision allowing almost unlimited contributions from billionaires and businesses, while unions would have one hand tied behind their backs. The union arguments prevailed politically, but conservatives did not give up. Rather than appeal to voters, since 2012, they’ve tried to convince judges. They came very close to winning this long-running battle last year, when the case of Friedrichs vs. the California Teachers Association, taking the name of Orange County schoolteacher Rebecca Friedrichs, a dues-for-politics opponent, was turned down on a 4-4 U.S. Supreme Court vote soon after the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

Trump off to a strong start

while back, I wrote that having experienced a few months of the Trump presidency it was safe to make a few predictions about how it might play out. I accurately predicted a short tenure for then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. I also wrote about the economy gaining strength, employment improving and the stock market climbing. As I write this column, the Dow is plowing through the 22,000 level, regularly setting new record highs. The economy has grown by $3.7 trillion since Mr. Trump’s election and $1.8 trillion since his inauguration. Unemployment recently hit a 16-year low of 4.3 percent. Even the broadest gauge of unemployment, the U-6 rate, has declined since January. This indicates that part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs and people who want a job, but aren't counted as unemployed because they haven’t been actively looking

for jobs, are now gaining employment. The falling U-6 rate indicates the economy is strong. Some will argue that it is too early to give Trump credit for these outcomes. However, even senior economic correspondent Neil Irwin of the anti-Trump New York Times begrudgingly allowed Trump credit by saying a “Trump effect” that is buoying corporate hiring policies after the election cannot be ruled out. President Trump has signed more legislation and issued more executive orders than any previous president in history at this point in his tenure. Much of what he’s done has been aimed at cutting back the government bureaucracy, which many people support. In a recent editorial The Wall Street Journal said: “So far, the Trump Administration is a welcome improvement, rolling back more regulations than any President in history.”

Although some are criticizing the president for not enacting immigration reform, he has de facto reformed immigration policies simply by enforcing the laws already on the books. Illegal immigration along our southern border has plummeted since January, setting the stage for future immigration reform. One might disagree politically or philosophically with some or even all the president’s accomplishments, but it is inaccurate to criticize him for not being either effective or productive. His accomplishments are even more impressive given the fact that he has been opposed by the elites from both parties. That is where his biggest challenges lie moving forward. Mr. Trump’s initiatives continue to reveal the true colors of the governing elites of both parties. The debates on Obamacare reform and early discussions about tax

Now, the high court may be about to take up a similar case from Illinois, and with new Justice Neil Gorsuch expected to join the panel’s four previous conservative judges in backing paycheck protection, the idea might win. At least in California, unions are not taking this lying down. One huge public employee union is about to hike the fees it charges members who don’t want to fund its political advocacy. Local 1000 of the Service Employees International Union, state government’s largest union, is raising the minimum amount of dues it charges those employees by 6 percent, or about $5 per month each. The increase comes under a state law allowing unions to charge employees who are not full members for legal and bargaining expenses run up for the sake of workers. At the same time, the CTA – by far the state’s largest teachers union and a major political factor for decades – got its friends in the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown to back two state budget trailer bills requiring school districts, cities, counties and other government agencies to give unions representing their workers regular chances to meet and sign up new members. The unions realize that unless they do something, their membership and influence will decline sharply as many conservative-leaning union members – long forced to pay for labor’s political advocacy whether they like it or not – start opting out if reform show that the problems in the proverbial Washington swamp are more pervasive and perplexing than most Americans realized. The extent to which legislators on both sides of the aisle have become self-serving pawns of lobbyists is becoming clearer every day. Legislative opposition to health care reform that would eliminate special treatment for legislators is only the latest example. Not all effective leaders are necessarily likable or popular. Everyone — including every leader of significance — has their flaws. Therefore, the most important question each of us should ask is, “Do I want a president who is productive and effective at producing results, or do I want a president who does the right thing, even when opposed by should-be allies?” America needs a leader who will clean up the mess and get our country back on a track toward prosperity for all, where we citizens thrive in a climate where we they are safe and are afforded tangible reasons to embrace hope for future generations. If Mr. Trump continues to perform, regardless of the likability of his style, and if Congress comes out of its narcissistic coma, we will see that happen. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

paycheck protection becomes federal law. Some estimates put possible union losses between 20 percent and 40 percent of their current political revenues – unless they recruit heavily. But school districts and other agencies will have the right to negotiate terms of those union recruiting meetings. This may delay their start indefinitely or cause them to be very brief. Union fears were well expressed the other day by Joshua Pechthalt, president of the state’s second-largest teacher union, the California Federation of Teachers, who told a reporter that “Anything to mitigate a loss of membership would be helpful.” He added that if paycheck protection becomes law, “Our world will change dramatically. (So) having time to talk about what we do, who we are …will become doubly important.” One group that could opt out en masse of all so-called “agency fees,” the dues charged now to employees who don’t actually belong to unions that bargain for them, is part-time teachers at community colleges and California State University campuses. For sure, California has a lot riding on the likely new Supreme Court case. But whatever happens, don’t expect unions to accept it meekly. The new meet-and-greet law is likely only their first move toward retaining and possibly expanding their current powerful role. Elias, a syndicated columnist, can be reached at tdelias@aol.com.

Unfortunately, the planners decided to increase the number of residents, traffic and density, and change the existing development plan. Their proposal calls for taller buildings, more units per development and will require fewer parking spaces per unit, and all of this on Poway Road between Carriage and Tarascan. Unfortunately, the planners have lost sight of our town’s motto. Why could they not have developed pleasant open spaces with parks or focal centers to attract visitors? Could they not have come up with something that would incorporate things like the Cuyamaca garden, restaurants and shops, as are in the Bazaar del Mundo, that would encourage people to visit our town? I support the idea of beautifying our town, but not at the price proposed. Judith Nemec Poway

Construction a problem Construction around the Mobil gas station at Rancho Bernardo Road and Bernardo Center Drive has been going on for more than five months, bothering everyone who uses the roads. There seems to be no end to the project and the authorities aren’t doing anything about it. It’s a problem for anyone driving in the area, especially ambulances and fire trucks. Where is the mayor? Where is the councilman? Do they not see the problem, or do they not want to see it?

Traffic, building height concerns raised at Poway Road meeting BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Road Specific Plan is one step closer to approval following a fourth community workshop meeting held on Aug. 2. The meeting focused on feedback from both the public and members of the Poway City Council on five specific areas of the plan: dwelling unit cap, building height, number of stories, density and parking. While many members of the public were in favor of the plan, citing increased revenue via property and sales taxes and giving Poway Road a much-needed facelift, others expressed concerns about increased traffic and losing the “City in the Country” feel. Toni Bates, a member of the Poway Road Corridor Study Advisory Committee, spoke first and presented a slideshow of images she took of Poway Road in its current state. Bates said that Poway residents have become accustomed to the sight of Poway Road, but visitors see a beleaguered area with a lot of maintenance needed and not a lot of sights. Bates cited a lack of landscaping, covered signs, vacancies, dated and tired buildings and signage, and inappropriate use of prime Poway Road real estate, such as a firewood lot.

Mid-day traffic heading east on Poway Road near Pomerado Road. Lois Fong-Sakai called the PRSP “not a development plan, but an economic plan” due to the potential for increased revenues from taxes and praised the potential for housing along Poway Road as “not affordable housing, but obtainable housing” that would make it possible for working families to afford to live in Poway. Jim Lyon said that providing new shopping opportunities on Poway Road could draw back the shoppers who were lured away to shopping centers in Carmel Mountain Ranch, 4S Ranch and

Rancho Bernardo. Other Powegians supported the idea of the plan, but had qualms with specific aspects of it. One aspect of the PRSC suggests allowing four-story, 45-foot buildings on the downslope side of Poway Creek, which would show as three-story from the road. Several residents, as well as council members, balked at the idea of four-story buildings along Poway Road. Judy Nemec said Poway Road wasn’t a place where tall buildings will go unnoticed, while Ann Tipps said the building height

reminded her too much of Hillcrest, where she works. “There’s a lot of potential here, but let’s not overdo it to where those who live in south Poway don’t feel like they live in Poway anymore,” Tipps said. Several residents also said they wanted to see more green space along Poway Road, not new housing or businesses. Nemec suggested building something that would draw in visitors, like a botanical garden or a park with a theme. Increased traffic on Poway Road

was also a concern brought up by several residents, though city staff members said traffic studies are being done and there are plans for traffic mitigation, including eliminating and consolidating some driveways along Poway Road, which will reduce slowdown in traffic. Deputy Mayor Barry Leonard said the council needed to take a “long-term view” of the plan, but in the meantime, it would be “really nice” if they could set the framework today. Councilman Dave Grosch said the city was in “dire need” of revenue and hoped the property and sales taxes generated by the PRSP would help with that in the future. Grosch was one of several council members who expressed concern about the potential for four-story buildings, saying the view for those living on the other side of the buildings would be compromised. Councilman John Mullin said he would like to see cross sections of what a four-story building would look like on Poway Road, something city staff said could be done for the next time the plan is brought before the council for final review, probably in early December.

Now with his diploma in hand, Lacanienta said he will be starting at Calvary Bible College in Murrietta in February to get a degree in theology. He wants to be a faith-based counselor and help troubled teens, he said. “There’s lots of professional counselors with lots of degrees on their walls, but they can’t tell kids they know what they’re going through,” Lacanienta said. “I can. I can use my experiences to help them out of the darkness and into the light.” Lacanienta said that anyone thinking of going back to school to get their diploma or high school equivalency certificate needs to make the decision on their own, not be pressured into it by anyone, and has to be ready to do it. “You can’t do this halfway,” he said. “There’s a lot you can gain if you apply yourself and take it seriously.” A short documentary about Lacanienta’s journey is available on YouTube at bit.ly/2vQ0Ojj.

Former Poway High standout Jonathan Petersen is starting is senior year at the University of San Diego.

Alumni Report

Ex-Titan starting last year on USD’s defense BY TERRY MONAHAN Ever since Jonathan Petersen’s mom relented in fifth grade and finally allowed him to start playing football, he has amazed teammates, opposing players and fans. Every week, he does things someone his size shouldn’t be able to do. In the real world, being 6-foot-1, 230 pounds is a good sized person. However, in football, especially for a defensive end in college at the University of San Diego, that’s undersized. “Jon only knows one speed and he doesn’t care if it’s practice or a game,’’ USD head coach Dale Lindsey said. “If you’re not playing at his speed for all 60 minutes, you’ll get your butt whipped.’’ A senior with the Toreros, the former Poway High standout has been an all-conference honoree twice. He went from a second-team

All-Pacific Football League choice two years ago to a first-team pick after last season. Earlier this summer Petersen was named to the STATS FCS Preseason All-American Teams. He was chosen on the third team. “This is an honor,’’ Petersen said. “I put a little more emphasis on the end-of-the season teams. I always think I can do a lot on the field USD PHOTO anyway.’’ Jonathan Petersen was a first-team All-CIF performer at Petersen Poway, playing against bigger opponents the same way he has done at USD. His biggest asset is his speed on the outside. It’s not unusual for Petersen to face tackles who are upwards of 6-5 or taller and 300 pounds and more.

“In high school, guys were bigger just like they’re bigger now,’’ Petersen said. “The thing I have to use is my quickness. I can’t just try to overpower them. They’re too big and strong. I’ve gone up against some mammoth people over the years. My speed upsets most of them because I’m racing around them for the entire game.’’ Petersen’s speed helped him collect 50 tackles and 12.5 sacks last season as he was the team’s Outstanding Defensive Lineman for the second straight season. His 25.5 career sacks has him just 10 off the team record of 35 set by Eric Bakhtaran. USD is coming off its best season ever. A nine-game winning streak led to a 10-1 record before being eliminated from the postseason with a 45-7postseason loss to top-seeded North Dakota SEE ALUMNI, B3

Athlete of the Week

RB’s Matt Araiza is expanding beyond kicker Says he would like to attend a West Coast college BY TERRY MONAHAN Just about every football coach, no matter if it is in high school, college or in the professional ranks, admits to not being able to figure out kickers. Rancho Bernardo High Head Coach Tristan McCoy, who was also a former linebacker at Rancho Bernardo, is no different. “I don’t talk to kickers much because I don’t understand them,’’ McCoy said when asked about Broncos place-kicker Matt Araiza, who is considered one of the best in the country. The life of a kicker on a football team during the season is a different one from all the position players. Instead of working all week on the game plan, kickers usually stay off by themselves at practice, taking about 50 kicks per day. Their existence is a solitary one. Their only company is the punter. Maybe that is why Araiza says he wants to be more of an athlete, than just known as a kicker. As a senior this fall, Araiza has been working this off-season on playing cornerback this season. “I’m doing all the regular stuff everyone has been doing this summer,’’ the 6-foot-2, 180-pound Araiza said. “Usually, kickers show up, take some kicks, cool down and leave. “There’s sure a lot more to learn to play defense. I made a few special teams tackles last year. I hope I’ll be fine.’’ McCoy said he has no doubts Araiza will be fine in both roles. “This speaks to what kind of athlete he is,’’ McCoy said.

“He wanted to play wide receiver as a freshman, but we saw how special he was as a kicker so we kind of left him there. “As a kicker, he’s special. I’ve seen a lot of kickers over the years, but I’ve never seen the ball jump off someone’s foot like it does with Matt. “He’s not bothered by how big the venue is because he’s so used to it.’’ As a sophomore on the Broncos’ state championship club in Division III-A, Araiza was 18-for-21 on field goals for 120 points. He was 7-for-11 last year, with a long of 51 yards. On 73 kickoffs, Araiza got a touchback 66 times while also an average 41.4 yards on 32 punts. Yet, Araiza, who has not chosen a college yet but has gotten an offer from the University of San Diego, says he wants to do more. “I didn’t try football until freshman year and only because my dad thought it would be good for me,’’ said the former soccer player. “I thought about going back to soccer a few times, but I stuck it out. “I’m addicted to sports. I also played basketball for a while as well as soccer. The state championship two years ago convinced me to stick with football.’’ Now Araiza has his final season at Rancho Bernardo. “I still feel like a sophomore,’’ Araiza said. “I’ve heard the years go by fast, especially senior year. I’d love to have them all back again. “My life for a while was going to school and sports. I want a college with good academics, whether it’s on the West Coast or East Coast. “In a perfect world, I’d stay on the West Coast for college. If a really good school offered from the other side of the country, I’d sure think about it.’’ As long as it means he will stay busy.

Girls Tennis

Rancho Bernardo standout taking aim at USTA crown BY GLAE THIEN On a trip to visit her grandmother in Japan early this summer, Rancho Bernardo’s Julia Haynes made sure to pack her tennis racket. As it turned out, courts weren’t readily available, largely curtailing her play. Still, it’s the thought that counts. Haynes has been attached to the game ever since she preferred the court to day care while her parents played recreationally. Such dedication helps explain how Haynes reached the final of the USTA Junior National Girls Hard Court Championships in the 16s age group last year. Now she’s stepping up to the 18s in her third straight appearance in the tourney headquartered at the Barnes Center from Saturday through Aug. 13 for both divisions. “I gained a lot from last year,” said Haynes, who turned 16 in June. “I was able to better prepare myself mentally. I had matches that could have gone either way, and what helped me win was how I was able to stick with it mentally.” The tourney march for the 17th-seeded player included a fourth-round 6-2, 6-0 victory over Fallbrook’s Julia Deming, a friend and occasional doubles partner. Deming, also stepping up to the 18s this year, has become very familiar with Haynes’ game. “She’s very consistent, and she makes it very difficult to win points,” Deming said. “She doesn’t give up any freebies, and she hits lots FROM ALUMNI, B1 State in the Fargo dome. “North Dakota State knew all about Jonathan,’’ Lindsey said. “They made sure to keep a running back in to chip him so he wouldn’t get to the quarterback. “The thing that makes him go is the same thing that’s going to help him in real life after football.’’ As a redshirt, Petersen’s first season at USD involved no football. When he wasn’t in class, he and former Poway teammate Max Michaels spent a lot of time in the weight room trying to get stronger. Being away from the field was the hardest thing Petersen has ever had to do. “It was the first time I’d ever just been a student,’’ Petersen said. “It was really bad. Max and I did a lot of commiserating. We both went

Julia Haynes returns ball duringthe section girls tennis Open Division team championships at Barnes Tennis Center. of balls back.” Haynes enjoyed a tourney highlight when she ousted top-seeded Amber O’Dell, of Milford, N.J., in the quarterfinals 7-6 (8-6), 6-3. In an all-local final, Haynes bowed to La Jolla’s Nicole Mossmer, the fourth-seeded player, who took the final nine games to to games and sat in the stands with the other students. When spring practice rolled around, no one on the team knew who we were.” Looking beyond his senior year, Petersen is optimistic. “I’m going to stretch out this football thing as long as I can,’’ the accounting major said. “I’m hoping there is a pro team somewhere who needs an outside linebacker. “I doubt I’ll ever get football out of my system. I played lacrosse and it was hard to get that out of my system, so I can’t think football will be easier.’’ For Lindsey, his goal is to find the next pass rusher whose internal motor runs as consistent as Petersen. “We always want the best athletes we can get from San Diego,’’ Lindsey said. “Jonathan continues the success we’ve had from players from Poway and Rancho Bernardo over the years.’’

prevail 7-5, 6-0. “It was a great match,” Haynes said. “My opponent played really well, so congratulations to her. There are always things that you wish you could have done. I was up in the first set until the end, and it’s always hard to lose a set like that.” Haynes has since revised her backhand grip,

using a more traditional approach, along with upgrading her serve. “Tennis is a very hard sport,” said the 5-foot-7 right-hander, who won her first novice tourney at age 7. “It came naturally to me to an extent. But I’ve always worked on trying to improve.” Haynes moved with her family from Vancouver, Wash., a suburb of Portland, Ore., ahead of her eighth-grade year. Besides better weather for outdoor play, she found stronger competition in Southern California. As a Rancho Bernardo High freshman, Haynes helped the Broncos reach the San Diego Section Open Division final and advanced to the individual singles semifinals two years ago. San Dieguito’s Jennifer Kerr topped La Jolla Country Day’s Paulina Ferrari for the title then in a match of players also vying in the upcoming 18s nationals. Haynes, who still attends the school, has since focused on junior tennis while training at the Bernardo Heights Community Center with coach Brandon Sieh. Her college plans are being determined. Whatever the challenges, Haynes simply finds enjoyment being on the court. “It’s just really fun, having a racket and hitting the ball,” said Haynes, also a fan of table tennis. “You can even take away the competition and the matches and go out to just hit some balls, and it’s just really fun.” Indeed, she’s quite attached to it.

Big band concert returns to Bernardo Winery Aug. 27 Ira B. Liss Big Band Jazz Machine will perform BY EMILY SORENSEN A popular summer tradition is returning for another year as the Ira B. Liss Big Band Jazz Machine performs Aug. 27 at the Bernardo Winery, 13330 Paseo Del Verano Norte in Rancho Bernardo. The concert has sold out annually for the past six years, so tickets should be purchased early. Tickets are $25 general admission. A $160 jazz, wine and cheese package is available for four people. All tickets are available at bit.ly/2tHp5HO. The package deal includes a reserved table for four, a cheese platter for four and a glass of wine off the winery’s bar list. The band has been performing one show per summer at the winery for the past 15 years, said Liss, the band’s founder and bandleader. As has been the group’s tradition for the past nine years, a special guest artist will join the band for the performance. In years past, the guests have included big names in music like

Ira B. Liss and The Big Band Jazz Machine. Holly Hofmann, Gilbert Castellanos, Barbara Morrison and Eric Marienthal. “We’ve had a wide variety of guest artists, both instrumental and vocal,” said Liss. “Every year is a little different and people like that.” Liss said the guest artists allow them to show off the different

kind of people who perform jazz and how they can perform with a big band group. This year, the guest artist is jazz vocalist Slim Man. “(Slim Man) has quite a following,” said Liss. “He’s a professional vocalist raised on the music of the Rat Pack. He’s a smooth jazz artist but he loves the old standards. He’s the real

BRANT BENDER

deal.” Liss said that his group and Slim Man will be using the same arrangements as used by Sinatra and other Rat Pack musicians. The songs they will perform at the concert will all be from the Great American Songbook and will include duets between Slim Man and the group’s regular female

vocalist, Janet Hammer, he said. Liss formed the group in February of 1979 in Escondido, where he was living and working at the time, and the group has been performing continuously for 38 years. “I’m being called now the veteran big band leader in town,” he said. “The band’s been together longer than any other in town.” The band has released four albums and is working on a fifth, which will be released later this year. “Our last album went worldwide,” said Liss, which included radio play. “We’re not just a little band from San Diego, we’re a worldwide entity now.” The band has 18 members including Liss, and perform at private events, festivals and anywhere else that is interested in them. “We’ll do anything for anyone who wants to hire us,” Liss said. “We have a library of over 20,000 arrangements. It’s easy to do any music for anyone.” More than just Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey, Liss said that the band’s music is very diverse and includes both traditional big band music and modern arrangements.

The Shirthouse Band performs bluegrass Saturday at Poway Library BY EMILY SORENSEN Enjoy the sounds of The Shirthouse Band, performing a free concert at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 at the Poway Library, 13137 Poway Road. This concert is part of the San Diego County Library’s award-winning Acoustic Showcase concert series. The concerts are always free and open to the public. While this is the first concert the band will be performing at the Poway Library, the members are familiar with the library concerts, as they have previously performed at the Lakeside, Alpine, Rancho San Diego and La Mesa libraries. “People (who come to the library concerts) come specifically to listen to the music,” said Rich Craig, who performs vocals and plays banjo in the group. “It’s always a great crowd. They always seem to hang on each note we play and they seem pretty informed about the music.” The band formed 11 years ago in La Mesa and was named after a silk-screening business Craig owned at the time. Though billed as a bluegrass band, Craig said the group performs a wide variety of music in a bluegrass

The Shirthouse Band style, including The Eagles, The Byrds, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. “We try to stay with music people are familiar with,” said Craig. Though the band has been together for 11 years, each of the five members has between 40 and 50 years of musical

experience, Craig said. The band also includes Peter Lauterbach, who plays mandolin, guitar, fiddle, bass and vocals; Rob Lewallen, guitar, mandolin, bass, three-string cigar box, mouth harp and vocals; Conley Robinson, guitar, mandolin and vocals; and Len

Claesson, stand-up bass, electric bass and vocals. Craig began his musical career playing trumpet in his school band before taking up the banjo after breaking his leg in a skiing accident. “I was laid up for a few months so I decided to buy a banjo and take lessons. I went to

a music store and saw Wayne Rice and found out he played the banjo. So, I took lessons from him,” Craig wrote on his website, shirthouseband.com. Lauterbach got his first guitar at the age of 13, started playing the mandolin at 18 and the fiddle at 52, according to the website. He also enjoys playing stringed instruments including the autoharp, dulcimer, hammered dulcimer and banjo. Lewallen, who will not be at the concert on Aug. 12, began playing the trombone at age 9 and was first exposed to bluegrass music while spending his summers with his grandparents in eat Tennessee, according to the website. He is a co-founder of the Ramona Bluegrass festival. Robinson grew up in Tennessee, listening to his father play bluegrass, according to the website. He learned to play guitar in his early teens and joined the Shirthouse Band in 2011. Claesson has been playing bass in the San Diego area for over 25 years. In addition to bluegrass, he plays classic rock, doo wop, country, blues and more. For more information on the concert, call the library at 858-513-2900.

Local girls get exposed to STEM possibilities BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Five incoming eighth-grade girls recently gained new insights into the possibilities available through STEM fields during a special camp geared for them. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math, the focus of a weeklong camp at UC San Diego sponsored by the American Association of University Women. The San Diego Tech Trek camp was among eight held at college campuses throughout California this summer. The program began in 1998. The Rancho Bernardo Chapter of AAUW selected Abigail Alvarado and Raquel Kemper from Bernardo Heights Middle School in Rancho Bernardo, Peyton Mautz from Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch plus Karina Kukosyan and Chelsea Vizcarra from Twin Peaks Middle School in Poway. The girls are typically recommended by a teacher and then go through an application process. Tech Trek combines classroom instruction with hands-on activities and off-campus field trips. The girls lived in the college dorms and were taught by women who are educators or working in STEM fields. It costs $900 to send each girl to Tech Trek. The fee for the girls selected by RB AAUW was paid by the AAUW chapter plus the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo and the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club, said Pat

Incoming eighth-grade girls selected by the Rancho Bernardo AAUW chapter for this year’s Tech Trek were Raquel Kemper (Bernardo Heights), Peyton Mautz (Oak Valley), Karina Kukosyan (Twin Peaks), Chelsea Vizcarra (Twin Peaks) and Abigail Alvarado (Bernardo Heights). Armstrong, RB AAUW Tech Trek coordinator. She said in addition to the girls being encouraged to pursue STEM classes in high school and college and consider professions in those fields, the girls also learn self-confidence during the camp. Abigail “Abby” Alvarado, a 12-year-old incoming Bernardo Heights eighth grader, said because she is “really into science” she wanted to attend Tech Trek. One of the most interesting things she learned about were natural and man-made

polymers, such as cotton, rubber and latex. “I knew they were in the world, but did not know they could be man-made or natural,” she said. She got to make slime, which is a polymer, because it consists of glue, Abby said. “We got to play with it, which was fun, definitely.” Her main course was marine biology, which included dissection. “I’ve done a few dissections here and there (before), but they make me kinda queasy,” Abby said. A field trip to the Birch Aquarium, a first for Abby, was “very cool” because “I like the coral

reef demonstration the best. I also liked looking at how fish behave in the environment.” Abby said because of Tech Trek she wants to take more science and math classes in high school. “I like chemistry,” she said. As for getting a taste of college life, Abby said living in a dorm with three girls was a difference experience from sixth grade camp, but she is not yet eager for college yet because “I still want to be a kid.” “My experience was pretty much fun,” said Karina Kukosyan, a 13-year-old incoming Twin Peaks eighth grader, who had anatomy as her main course. “We dissected a fetal pig’s heart and lungs,” Karina said. “At my school, I have dissected a ... cow eye. I really like dissecting, but the smell is not really awesome.” Karina said her field trips included seeing equipment at a medical college and visiting the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She said what she learned in Tech Trek will help her with future biology courses and she wanted to attend the camp “for the experience.” While she has mixed feelings about living on a college campus, a first time experience for her, she added, “the food was great.” Karina said she is really interested in robotics and is considering ways to get more exposure to possibilities in engineering or the robotics field.

The Poway Valley Garden Club, part of the National Garden Club, is one of the few California clubs to sponsor a youth garden club. It consists of students from Abraxas High School; Chaparral, Painted Rock and Rolling Hills elementary schools; and Innovations Academy. For the first time, the club fully participated in National Garden Club Week (June 4-11), which provided an opportunity to encourage pride in the community and to work with other groups towards that goal. It also raised awareness of the benefits of gardening for adults as well as children. In early June at the Poway Farmers Market, both clubs had an exhibit to highlight the schools’ special focus on gardening. Several of the school gardens include outdoor classrooms or peaceful place to study and reflect. Abraxas has an aquaponic system that includes raising tilapia for wastewater, which then provides nutrients for the gardens. Over 100 people attended the event. Many children

Jeff Baumback

Jake Blalock

New baseball hires at RB, San Pasqual BY JOHN MAFFEI After more than two decades and seven county championships, someone not bearing the Blalock name will be coaching baseball at Rancho Bernardo High. Just a few miles north, another Blalock will be starting his coaching career at San Pasqual. On Monday, Rancho Bernardo announced that it has hired Jeff Baumback to replace Sam Blalock, who retired with a career record of 946-333. He won 648 games in 27 years at Rancho Bernardo. San Pasqual announced the hiring of Jake Blalock, Sam’s nephew, a corner infielder who played for his uncle at RB. While this will be Jake Blalock’s first head coaching job, Baumback has impressive credentials. A right-handed pitcher at Long Beach State, Baumback, 38, spent seven years as an assistant coach at Long Beach Wilson before landing the head job at Redondo Union. In seven years, he led the Sea Hawks to a 146-78 record, including CIF Southern Section Division 3 championships in 2015 and 2016. His 2016 team was 31-2 and was ranked No. 4 in California and No. 20 in the nation by MaxPreps. “Obviously, I’m aware of the RB program, Coach Blalock, the history,” said Baumback, who will teach PE at Rancho Bernardo. “I know I have big shoes to fill, but I’m looking forward to keeping things rolling.” RB Athletic Director Peggy Brose said she had 25 applicants for the job and narrowed the field to three. “Jeff is a teacher and educator,” Brose said. “He had great qualifications and experience. His credentials gave him great credibility. “He has a love for the game. He wants to win games but also wants to develop the player and maintain the facility. “He’s soft-spoken, but confident. He has some of the same characteristics as Sam.” Baumback said he and his wife, who is an elementary school teacher, had been looking to move to the San Diego area for a while, but needed a teaching job to make it happen. “My wife’s family lives in Bonita, and my

mother wants to move to San Diego,” Baumback said. “So this wasn’t just a baseball and teaching decision; it was a family decision. “I haven’t had a chance to look at the team yet, but I believe in letting guys hit. We’ll work hard. We’ll be focused. “I’ll tailor what we do to the players we have on the roster.” Jake Blalock was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the fifth round in 2002. He played eight minor league seasons, advancing as high as Double-A. After his career ended, Blalock took classes at Palomar College and graduated from Cal State San Marcos. A math major, he’ll do his student teaching at San Pasqual this school year. “I wanted to get into coaching and teaching,” said Blalock, 34, who was a volunteer coach at San Pasqual last season. “I’ve always been drawn to math. “After pro ball, it was strange to go back to school and be a student again, especially since I had a wife and family and was working full-time. “I live down the street from San Pasqual, so when I realized this was something I wanted to do, something I was passionate about, I knew this was perfect.” Blalock, who said he never thought about replacing his uncle at Rancho Bernardo, plans to add former RB star pitcher Matt Wheatland to his staff. A right-hander, Wheatland was a first-round draft pick of the Detroit Tigers in 2000 but ran into arm problems almost immediately as a pro. Blalock will be San Pasqual’s fourth baseball coach in the last five years, including Athletic Director Andrew Clark, who took the job on an interim basis and was 10-15 last season. “This is Jake’s first coaching job, but he has been around the game his whole life,” Clark said. “We’re getting two great young guys, who we hope will be with us for a long time.” Maffei writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

How Medicare covers home health services BY GREG DILL couple of years ago, my father, well into his 70s, finally bought himself a high-performance automobile. The kids and grandkids had all grown up, so there was no need for a larger car. And heck, he had waited a long time to drive something fun. All was fine with the new car until my mother broke her hip, had surgery and needed extensive outpatient physical and occupational therapy. Getting into and out of a sporty car isn’t easy for someone using a walker and cane. So I got a phone call asking what could be done. (Actually, I think he was angling for my new minivan, whose video screens would give him something to do during mom’s therapy sessions.) But I told him he didn’t need to take mom to a clinic or hospital. As a Medicare beneficiary, she could receive most of the therapy in her own home. Medicare covers a variety of heath care services that you can get in the comfort and privacy of your home. These include intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech-language pathology services and occupational therapy. Such services used to be available only at a hospital or doctor’s office.

But they’re just as effective, more convenient and usually less expensive when you get them in your home. To be eligible for home health services, you must be under a doctor’s care and receive services under a plan of care established and reviewed regularly by a physician. He or she also needs to certify that you need one or more home health services. In addition, you must be homebound and have a doctor’s certification to that effect. Being homebound means leaving your home isn’t recommended because of your condition, or your condition keeps you from leaving without using a cane, wheelchair or walker; special transportation; or getting help from another person. Also, you must get your services from a Medicare-approved home health agency. If you meet these criteria, Medicare pays for covered home health services for as long as you’re eligible and your doctor certifies that you need them. For durable medical equipment (like a walker or wheelchair), you pay 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount. Skilled nursing services are covered when they’re given on a part-time or intermittent basis. In order for Medicare to cover such care, it must be necessary and ordered by your

doctor for your specific condition. Medicare does not cover full-time nursing care. Skilled nursing services are given by either a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse under an RN’s supervision. Nurses provide direct care and teach you and your caregivers about your care. Examples of skilled nursing care include: giving IV drugs, shots, or tube feedings, changing dressings and teaching about prescription drugs or diabetes care. Before your home health care begins, the home health agency should tell you how much of your bill Medicare will pay. The agency should also tell you if any items or services they give you aren’t covered by Medicare, and how much you’ll have to pay for them. This should be explained by both talking with you and in writing. The agency should give you a notice called the Home Health Advance Beneficiary Notice before giving you services and supplies that Medicare doesn’t cover. What isn’t covered? Some examples: • 24-hour-a-day care at home. • Meals delivered to your home. • Homemaker services like shopping, cleaning and laundry (when this is the only care you need, and when these services aren’t related

to your plan of care). • Personal care given by home health aides like bathing, dressing and using the bathroom (when this is the only care you need). If you get your Medicare benefits through a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan (not Original Medicare), check your plan’s membership materials. Contact the plan for details about how the plan provides your Medicare-covered home health benefits. If your doctor decides you need home health care, you can choose from among the Medicare-certified agencies in your area. (However, Medicare Advantage or other Medicare plans may require that you get services only from agencies they contract with.) One good way to look for a home health agency is by using Medicare’s “Home Health Compare” web tool, at . It lets you compare agencies by the types of services they offer and the quality of care they provide. For more details on Medicare’s home health benefit, please read our booklet, “Medicare and Home Health Care.” It’s online at tinyurl.com/ycuqmf2k. Greg Dill is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories.

Renovations for the ages

Antique upgrades for kitchen and bath (Family Features) Not every renovation project is intended to make the space look shiny and new. A design that celebrates decades (or even centuries) past can carry the same big impact for a dramatically updated look. Antique upgrades celebrate the old-timey charm that modern design often ignores. An added benefit to an antique motif: the opportunity to display family heirlooms and treasures from previous generations that blend seamlessly into your home. In most houses, the kitchen and bathrooms are where modern conveniences are most obvious. The appliances and fixtures in these rooms offer convenience and function few homeowners are willing to sacrifice for the sake of aesthetics. Fortunately, these tips show how you can capture old-world ambiance while enjoying the comforts of modern living.

Back-to-basics bathroom

Indoor plumbing is arguably the greatest asset of the modern home, but there’s no need to sacrifice contemporary function when you take a step back in time with your bathroom decor. A claw foot tub makes for a stunning focal point, and a stylish pedestal sink adds character a modern vanity simply can’t deliver.

The one downside, limited storage space, can be easily remedied. A distressed cupboard or cabinet fitted with an antique window pane door is a simple DIY solution, or rely on stacked wooden crates (sanded and finished, of course) for a whimsical tower to fill with towels and other necessities. In a small space like a bathroom, it can be difficult to evoke just the right impression with fixtures and furnishings alone. That’s where accessories can play a transformative role. Rely on historic photographs, vintage mirrors and antique curios such as old buckets and chairs to let your creativity run wild. A bucket makes a perfect toilet paper holder and the rungs of a forgotten old chair are ideal for an old-fashioned towel rack.

Old-meets-new kitchen

For a kitchen stylized to honor the past, there’s nothing more distracting than modern appliances. Fully capturing the warmth and charm of a country, century or Victorian kitchen requires complementing antique-style appliances. With careful attention to vintage design, a line like Elmira Stove Works’ appliances complete the traditional feel of a “vintage” kitchen, rather than detract from it,

Fully capturing the warmth and charm of a country, century or Victorian kitchen requires complementing antique-style appliances. as would modern-style black, white or stainless steel. Fortunately, the “antique” aspect of these appliances ends with the appearance, as the complete line features the latest in cooking technology to ease routine food preparation and meet the high standards of the home chef. For example, among the features is a full-size, self-cleaning true convection oven with the look of a vintage two-door range. The front panel displaying the “fire door,” “oven door”

and “ash catch” conceals the full-size oven behind. A matching 1,200-watt microwave features a removable turntable, 10 power levels, turbo-defrost and five-stage programmable cooking with an optional nickel or antique copper door frame. The complete line includes a customizable collection of ranges, wall ovens, microwaves, refrigerators and matching panels for dishwashers. To learn more, visit ElmiraStoveWorks.com.
