BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK There were decreases in most types of crimes in Rancho Bernardo during the first half of this year, but small increases in aggravated assaults, thefts and car prowls. The San Diego Police Department recently posted the 2017 crime statistics for January through June on its website for each of the city’s 125 areas. Overall, Rancho Bernardo moved up from 19th to 18th place citywide, with 10.58 crimes per 1,000 residents reported during the first six months of this year compared to 12.92 crimes per 1,000 in the same period last year. The citywide rate was 22.92 crimes per 1,000 residents this year, an improvement from last year’s 25.59 crimes per 1,000 in 2016. In terms of actual crimes, there were 222 reported in RB during 2017 versus 271 reported in 2016. Regarding property crimes, Rancho Bernardo came in 24th place citywide, with 9.96 crimes per 1,000 residents so far this year. In 2016, it was in 30th place, with 12.11 crimes per 1,000 residents. It came in well below the citywide rate of 19.26 property crimes per 1,000 San Diegans. (In 2016, the citywide rate was 25.59 per 1,000). In Rancho Bernardo there were 209 property crimes reported SEE CRIME, A11

COOL TREATS ON A HOT DAY

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Neo-Nazis and KKK members have a First Amendment right to say what they want — even if the majority of Americans disagree with them — but do not have a right to act violently, Rep. Scott Peters said in Rancho Bernardo on Tuesday. “We protect people’s speech, but do not allow violence,” he said. “The ideas I don’t fear. I fear the violence.” Peters, who represents Rancho Bernardo and neighboring communities in the 52nd Congressional District, was speaking at a Brandeis National Committee Rancho Bernardo Chapter gathering. It supports Brandeis University in Massachusetts, a nonsectarian university with Jewish roots. Regarding events over the weekend, Peters said the deadly violence and demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, “Made me upset and angry. It is sad we have to deal with this type of thing.” He mentioned his World War II veteran father-in-law who fought the Nazis and minister father who worked to end desegregation in 1960s Detroit and was associated with the Rev. Martin

We may be able to lower your payments.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK At least one more Rancho Bernardo Pathway of Pride plaque is needed before the new additions are unveiled. Pathway Chairman Dave Brooks said a record number of plaques (in recent years) have been purchased, with 15 reserved as of Tuesday. However, because their installation requires replacing Webb Park sidewalk segments, plaques must be installed in pairs. The plaques — available for a $1,000 tax-deductible donation to the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation — can commemorate a special anniversary, memorialize a family member or pet, or honor someone — including yourself — for being a vital community member. Businesses and community groups may also purchase. The deadline has been extended to 5 p.m. this Monday. Those interested may contact Brooks at davebrooks@san.rr.com or 858-945-1616. Plaque proceeds will be divided among the Rancho Bernardo Community Endowment, which exceeds $1.4 million, and the foundation’s community grants program. Last year, $70,200 was awarded. This year’s plaques will be unveiled during a Sept. 13 ceremony. Since the pathway’s creation in 1993, there have been 278 plaques installed.

Collins pleads not guilty to charges BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN Former Poway Unified School District Supt. John Collins, accused of siphoning $345,000 from the school district, pleaded not guilty Aug. 10 to felony charges of misusing public money. Collins’ arraignment before San Diego Superior Court Judge Lisa Rodriguez comes a year after the district fired him for allegedly collecting unearned pay and vacation time. Collins faces four charges of misusing vacation, sick and leave time and illegally using a district purchasing card, during the period between 2012 and 2016. The district attorney’s office has dropped a fifth charge that alleged falsification of a financial disclosure form. Collins didn’t comment publicly at the hearing, but Victor Pippins, an attorney representing him, said Collins never mishandled public money, and said the dispute amounts a contract disagreement, not a criminal matter. “We absolutely deny the charges,” Pippins said. “It’s very unfortunate that what could be seen as a contract dispute or a misunderstanding about terms has come here, where Mr. Collins is forced to defend himself in criminal court.” “We’re extremely

Former PUSD Supt. John Collins at his Aug. 10 Superior Court arraignment. disappointed that it’s come to criminal charges,” Pippins added “Mr. Collins is obviously disappointed, but he is resolute. He stands firm in his innocence, and now we start the process of proving that to everyone as well.” The case will begin with a status hearing on Sept 29, and continue with a preliminary hearing on Oct. 17, which Deputy District Attorney Leon Schorr said will last about five days, and include the prosecution’s evidence, and witness testimony. 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 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 greater than his contract allowed. “He got paid for vacation he had already used,” Schorr said. “He utilized the vacation for vacation purposes, or whatever he used it for, then he asked to be paid out on it.” If convicted on all four counts, Collins, 63, could face up to seven years of prison time, Schorr said. Brennan write for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

RB Sunrise Rotary is district ‘Club of the Year’ The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club has been named Rotary District 5340’s “Rotary Club of the Year” for 2016-17. The district includes more than 60 Rotary clubs south of Los Angeles and west of Riverside County, and includes a few in Mexico. The award was announced this summer by outgoing District Gov. Marilyn Sanderson. “Each one of our RB club’s members played a role in this incredible recognition,” said Craig Brown, who was the club’s president when it received the award. “From helping (to) raise $75,000 at last fall’s IPA-only fundraiser we named Rancho BEERnardo, to donating $30,000 to

help end polio worldwide through Rotary International’s Polio Plus campaign, our members embody service above self.” The club, charted in 1988, has more than 60 active members and six honorary members. Over its 29-year history it has earned 11 Rotary International Presidential Citations. “All clubs get on a roll from time to time and we have been on one for a few years now,” Brown said. “We have been joined by a number of new members and we all enjoy their enthusiasm for what we do and the fun we have.” The club meets weekly at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo at 7 a.m. each Tuesday.

Poway Boys & Girls Club has new manager

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Sulpizio Family Branch of the Boys & Girls Club in Poway has a new branch manager. Jacob Hale took over the position on Aug. 2. Hale has been working at the location for almost four years in a variety of positions. Hale is a lifelong Poway resident. He worked with his parents in the carpet cleaning business for 15 years and after it shut down, he decided to change his career path, he said. “I’m passionate about youth and child development,” Hale said. “(After starting at the Boys & Girls Club) I loved it immediately and I’ve been here ever since.” Hale said one of the things that initially drew him to want to work for the club was the idea that people can be more than their circumstances. “I like the opportunities the club offers to kids,” he said. “It tells them they can be more than what their circumstances limit them to be.” Going from being focused on dealing directly with parents and financials to managing the entire site, and all the accompanying paperwork, has been a bit of a crash course, Hale said. While he is mastering the job, Hale said he is working on developing several goals for the club, including growing membership and getting more involved with the community. “I don’t just want to maintain (membership), I want to grow it,” Hale said. “I want to become partners with the

community. The Boys & Girls Club is an organization for good, not just for kids but to serve the community. I’d like to use the relationships I have as a son of Poway to grow and serve the community.” The Poway club serves about 220 children between kindergarten and eighth grade in the summer and between 150 to 170 children during the school year from several Poway schools. Hale said he would like to expand to serve all the schools in Poway. Hale said he would also like to see the club become more involved with community events like Poway Days. “We want to give back to the community that has given so much to us,” he said. Hale would also like to get the community involved in the club’s Little Jumps fundraiser in February, he said. “A great future starts with great neighbors,” Hale said. After spending several summers working at the club, Hale said the children and their parents were excited to see him take over the role of branch manager. “I’ve had most of these kids since I started,” he said. “The parents are excited as well. They like consistency and someone they can trust. I’ve made an effort over the past 3 1/2 years to build trust (with the families of the children in the club).” The club offers several current benefits for the children in it, Hale said, including homework help, STEM activities, one-on-one mentoring for at-risk youth and free lunch in the summer.

PUSD preparing for elections by district BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Unified School District Board of Education approved a resolution on Aug. 10 initiating the elect trustees by district. The district was one of many to receive a receipt of demand under the California Voting Rights Act of 2001. Under this demand, the district will have to convert from an at-large election system to a by-district system. This system would divide the district into five areas, with a trustee (board member) being elected from each area. The district must complete this process by Nov. 9 and it will be used in the next election in November 2018, when three of the five board members will be up for re-election. All three of the board members up for election live in Rancho Peñasquitos, which means depending on how the areas are drawn, they could fall within the same area. The board voted unanimously to approve the resolution, though Vice-President T.J, Zane said he was doing so “begrudgingly.” He said after the meeting that this change was “a tide you can’t stand against.” The resolution directs the superintendent or her designee to immediately initiate the legal and regulatory process, including hiring legal counsel and demographic experts. It also authorizes the superintendent or her designee to carry out required public hearings on the drawing of the trustee areas before the Nov. 9 regular school board meeting. Dates for public hearings have not yet been set, said Board President Michelle

O’Connor-Ratcliff. Board member Kimberley Beatty said in an email, “I voted in favor of our school district moving from an ‘at-large’ voting system to a ‘by-district’ voting system in order to comply with the California Voting Rights Act. I also believe that creating five trustee areas in our 100-square-mile district will have the added benefit of creating stronger connections between our board and our community, since each community will have their individual representative to connect with. This will also likely increase the diversity of thought and input on the board.” The board also: • Heard a fiscal crisis and management assistance team report from California School Information Services. The report was a review of the district’s special education system. The district will use the report to make overhauls to special education. • Approved a change to the agenda of future meetings, which will include moving public comment up higher on the agenda so the public doesn’t have to wait as long and moving the superintendent’s report and the board reports to the end of the meeting. • Approved the hiring of James Jimenez, the new associate superintendent of personnel support services, and five new principals, who will be working at Westview High School, Black Mountain Middle School, Canyon View Elementary School, Del Sur Elementary School and Sunset Hills Elementary School.

RB, Poway libraries to host solar eclipse viewing events BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The Rancho Bernardo and Poway libraries are among those that will host viewing parties for the solar eclipse on Monday morning. RB Library Branch Manager Trish Jenkins said there will be a related storytime for children offered at 9:45 a.m. and a display of the library’s teen volunteers eclipse projects, which are viewable now in the Children’s Area. Jenkins said library patrons have already obtained the branch’s first supply of viewing glasses, but around 40 more free pairs will be available, while supplies last, starting at 9:30 a.m., when the branch opens. She said patrons are welcome to view the event from the library’s patio. She added that some other San Diego Public Library branches will be holding larger events, such as Rancho Peñasquitos. The Poway Library is also holding a viewing party at 9:45 a.m. It has about 50 solar eclipse glasses that patrons will be sharing so everyone has an opportunity to use them during the event, said Youth Services Librarian Chris Curley. Attendees will also be able to make pinhole viewers while they wait for their turn to use the glasses, he said. Depending on how many people attend, he said the event will be held in the open area by the bookstore or on the library’s grass area. The 4S Ranch Library is not hosting an event. Throughout San Diego, the solar eclipse will begin shortly after 9 a.m. and reach its height at 10:23 a.m. It will end by 11:46 a.m. While some

ADOBE IMAGE

parts of the country will experience a total solar eclipse, in San Diego it will only be a partial one, with up to three-fourths of the sun covered by the moon, according to experts. It is the first total solar eclipse visible in the United States since 1979. The next solar eclipse visible in San Diego will occur in 2023. To protect people’s eyesight while viewing the event, special glasses must be worn if looking at the sun. “During the eclipse, take the time to look at the world around you,” said Steve Snyder, CEO of the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. “Watch the shadows of the trees for projections of the eclipse. Listen to the sounds around you as the natural world reacts to this event. See if you can feel the change in temperature as the moon begins to block the sun.” City News Service contributed to this article.

Bernardo Heights Middle School welcomes its sixth graders

ernardo Heights Middle School held its incoming sixth grade Camp BOOST (Bring On Our Sixth Team) on Monday. The orientation event from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. included "how to do middle school" workshops on topics such as cool culture, must-know information, time management and organizational skills; campus tours; a dance party; team building activities and a

family ice cream social at the conclusion. The purpose was to reduce the sixth graders’ transition to middle school stress, help the students make new friends and introduce them to the campus and their teachers, officials said. Some seventh and eighth graders welcomed the newcomers to their Bobcat family and assisted with the event. Classes will begin on Aug. 23.

www.pomeradonews.com FROM PETERS, A1 and harbored in the administration of the president of the United States. The way he reacted is a great concern,” Peters said, adding later, “We have to fight back against this awful bigotry.” Peters, a Democrat, said the health care battle is not over, nor is tax reform. He called for bipartisan efforts to resolve both, saying he is supportive of a unified effort such as that undertaken in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan (a Republican) and Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill (a Democrat) to enact tax reform. “They passed a bill with a lot of good changes,” he said. While he said the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) has flaws that need fixing, he said the situation is better than before its 2010 signing when many Americans had to declare bankruptcy due to unaffordable medical bills and get their primary medical care in emergency rooms. He said since enactment the uninsured rate in San Diego County dropped from 17 percent to 5 percent. While access is good here, he said medical providers are non-existent in some places of the U.S. and locally the rising cost of premiums is a concern. A group of 43 Democrats and Republicans — including Peters — are now working on a bipartisan fix, an effort occurring from the ground up instead of through leadership. He said some Republicans are coming to realize that “healthcare is a right, not a privilege.” Peters said a successful bipartisan bill the House and Senate crafted is the Forever G.I. Bill, a just-passed sweeping reform of veterans’ education benefits awaiting the president’s signature. Peters, who wrote the bill, said it gives Purple Heart recipients the full education benefits they earned, regardless of length of service. Until now, new enlistees had 15 years to use or lose their education benefits if released from active duty on or after Jan. 1, 2013. The benefits now have no expiration. It also removes the 36-month service requirement that hurt Purple Heart

FROM CRIME, A1 during the first half of this year, 45 fewer than the 254 reported last year. Residential burglaries declined by 57 percent, with 20 reported this year versus 47 reported in 2016 (27 fewer). Commercial burglaries also dropped, from 29 last year to 25 this year. Auto thefts declined by almost half, going from 38 to 20, while the slight uptick happened with incidents of theft, going from 140 last year to 145 this year. Violent crimes decreased by four incidents, going from 17 reported last year to 13 reported this year. The biggest drop was in robberies (one this year versus eight last year). There were two reported rapes in the first half of 2017 compared to three in the first half of 2016. The only jump was in aggravated assaults, which rose from six last year to 10 this year. In neither year did a murder occur. In terms of its citywide violent crimes ranking, Rancho Bernardo went from 18th place (and 0.81 crimes per 1,000 residents) last year to 16th place citywide (and 0.62 crimes per 1,000) this year. Citywide the violent crime rate was 3.67 per 1,000 San Diegans this year versus 3.85 per 1,000 last year. Car prowls — where property might not have been taken — rose from 83 reported last year to 102 reported this year (19 more). Consequently, Rancho Bernardo dropped from 50th place citywide last year (for 3.96 car prowls per 1,000 residents) to 57th place this year (4.86 car prowls per 1,000). Citywide there were 5.46 car prowls

recipients medically discharged due to battle injuries before fulfilling their service commitment. In addition, it reinstates benefits to veterans if their college closes or loses accreditation, such as what happened recently with ITT Tech and Corinthian. The unified effort used to pass this veterans’ legislation is the same approach Peters said he would like to see in the upcoming tax reform discussions. Peters answered many questions from the mostly-retiree audience. Regarding North Korea, Peters said a clear message must be sent to Kim Jong-un that the country “can have nuclear weapons or an economy, but not both.” He said sanctions supported worldwide are good, but this needs to be a military-to-military conversation, not a confusing set of mixed messages due to presidential tweets. “We can’t have a president threatening (actions) we can not go through with ... we need to be very clear,” he said, adding later, “We need to tone down the rhetoric from the top and the military to send a clear signal.” Peters said President Donald Trump is not going to change his behavior, but maybe his new chief of staff, retired Gen. John Kelly, can calm down “some of this craziness.” “What we need to do is recognize (Trump) can’t act without Congress, or call him out when he is wrong,” Peters said. When asked what the Democratic Party needs to do to win more elections in 2018, Peters said it must do a better job explaining how it will provide a better future for families through jobs, the economy, retirement security and education, and not get caught up in issues such as transgender access to public bathrooms. He also said no one should be prevented from serving in the military due to their sexual identity, calling the president’s recent tweets on transgender service members “counter productive and kind of spiteful.” Peters concluded by saying, “Don’t be a stranger (to us) and just yell at your TV. If we don’t know what you are thinking we can’t be responsive.” per 1,000 San Diegans in the first half of this year, compared to 5.68 per 1,000 in the first half of 2016. Car prowls are not included in the overall crime index statistics, which are violent and property crimes combined. In terms of Rancho Bernardo’s crime index standings among its five neighboring City of San Diego communities, it came in third place this year, compared to fourth last year. The other neighborhoods are Black Mountain Ranch (Del Sur and Santaluz combined, just west of 4S Ranch), Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs and Rancho Peñasquitos. 4S Ranch is not in the city. Among the five areas, Black Mountain Ranch came in first locally and seventh citywide this year with 7.82 crimes per 1,000 residents. In 2016 it was second locally and fifth citywide with 5.67 crimes per 1,000. Rancho Peñasquitos was second locally and 11th citywide this year, with 8.67 crimes per 1,000. Last year it was third locally and 12th citywide, with 9.06 crimes per 1,000 residents. Sabre Springs dropped significantly, coming in fourth locally and 20th citywide (with 11.03 crimes per 1,000), compared to 2016 when it was first locally and second citywide (with 4.96 crimes per 1,000). Carmel Mountain Ranch came in fifth locally both years and dropped from 30th place citywide in 2016 (with 16.41 crimes per 1,000 residents) to 61st place citywide this year (with 22.35 crimes per 1,000).

WHO WANTS TO BE AVER AGE?

Who likes being average? Anyone? Is it fun to cheer for a team that is .500? If you are married, did you try to make a good impression on your future spouse by explaining how average you were? Of course not, as no one likes to be average. We don’t like to be mediocre. I don’t get many holiday cards from people saying what a wonderful year they had as they cite everything average about them. If you look at most magazine headlines, aren’t they promoting some way to be the best, or at least better than most? I have yet to see a magazine cover trying to sell you on being average. If you look at the headlines in financial magazines, aren’t most of them touting ways to beat the market? Oddly, aren’t a lot of these headlines usually in the January issue with a headline that says something to the effect “10 stocks to beat the market in 2017.” If you stop and think about it, why is January any better than the 11 other months of the year to find these purported winners? Do stocks go on vacation in the summer months? Are stocks busy during tax season?

Many investors strive to beat the market for the simple reason that if your portfolio returned what the market returned, you will have an average return. And how can you brag to your spouse, friends, and coworkers what a shrewd investor you are if you are simply mirroring market performance? Here is the reality. Most individual investor returns lag the market. According to the DALBAR Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior (QAIB), the S&P 500 produced an annual return of 11.96% in 2016 while the average equity mutual fund investor earned only 7.26%. This result is consistent with results in prior years. Stop and think about this for a minute. Not only are individual investors not beating the market, they are signiﬁcantly trailing the market! While investors like to point to market performance as the reason their portfolios don’t perform, investor behavior is playing a large role. What is going on here? Quite simply, individual investors often let emotion inﬂuence their investing decisions. As the market rallies, the media touts new market highs and it seems like the good times are here to stay. Investors who aren’t currently in the market begin to feel like they are missing out while everyone else is getting rich. Unable to stand it any longer, they eventually buy into the market at a high level. Can anybody reading this relate? Did anybody here buy any dot.com stocks?

Alas, the market doesn’t go up forever and eventually drops. The media switches hats and now focuses on how far the market might drop. Inevitably, most of the guests on these shows seem to have bearish outlooks. At some point, investors decide to stop the bleeding and sell their holdings. The net result is that they have bought high and sold low, which is what leads to the fact that most investors trail market returns.

The individual investor will also lose out to the market because they will choose to sit on the sidelines and simply not be invested. They will just leave their money in cash. This is often due to gut feelings about the current economic or political environment. If you can relate to some of this, here are some possible solutions: 1) Choose an investment allocation that lets you sleep at night and doesn’t cause you too much anxiety. If you can do this, you will be much less likely to react emotionally to ﬂuctuations in the market. 2) Only look at your portfolio statements quarterly as you will drive yourself crazy looking at it daily. Think of it this way. What if somebody knocked at your door and told you how much your house gained or lost in value daily? What if they knocked on your house every hour and told you the change in value from the previous hour? At some point, you would say, “Stop knocking at my door. I don’t care. I plan on having this house for many years.” Isn’t this the same approach you should have for your retirement accounts? 3) Consider hiring a ﬁnancial advisor as an unemotional voice can often eliminate the emotional component of investing.

OUR READERS WRITE No condos at StoneRidge I read Keith Sato’s Aug. 3 letter and, as a member of the StoneRidge County Club since 1978, I fully agree with his thoughts and opinion. Early on a recent morning I went to StoneRidge and found all tennis courts being used. From league play, social play to very lively youth programs, the tennis courts are most probably the liveliest part of StoneRidge. It is good to see that the youth activity is well and alive at StoneRidge, the pool (while it was open) and tennis courts are being used. It would be a shame to give it all up for a two-story adult development. I do not believe that our “City in the Country,” which makes a point of having open space, will vote for more development. Don’t get me wrong, I am a senior who happens to like open space and room for young families to be active. Look into the future, people. More development is most probably waiting right around the corner. Herta Salzmann Poway

Disagrees with Higginson Former Mayor and longtime City Councilmember Don Higginson, a north Poway resident, wrote in the July 27 issue that Poway's having to adhere to the California Voting Rights Act is like “a gun to my head.” He then dishonestly implied that the state's attempt to insure local representation is only about Latino voting rights. After years of approving south Poway high-density housing projects, as well as the Walmart expansion, he should be able to recognize that Poway's “city” residents have concerns different from Poway's “country” residents. His grasping at last millennial’s “valiant” decisions made by north Poway councilmembers, most with the obvious advantage of incumbency, on behalf of south Poway residents would be laughable if it wasn’t so seriously patronizing.

OPINION

Who do you think you are? This is in response to Don Higginson’s July 27 column where he questioned the percentage of Hispanics in Poway. It does not take many genes to declare yourself a member of any genetic classification. Just look at Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who declares herself to be an American Indian with only 1/32 Indian blood. She refuses to take a DNA test and attributes her analysis to family stories. Fact or fiction? By the way, I am a fifth cousin of Babe Ruth. Would you like to buy one of my cousin’s baseball cards? I, also, have the original of my fourth Uncle Albert Einstein’s energy analysis for your consideration. Do you really think the Census Bureau believed me when I reported I am a descendant of Zorro?

Money is the issue The StoneRidge golf course is not the issue. The fact that a deep-pocket developer from Pasadena purchased the golf course that is on land zoned recreational, and now wants the voters of Poway to change the zoning so that he can make millions of dollars and then go back to Pasadena is the issue. Why would the voters of Poway vote for this change? There is nothing for Poway to gain and a lot to lose, such as: A. Increased traffic at a bad intersection. B. Increased water and sewage usage. C. Increased fire and police cost. Yes, there will be some increased tax revenue, but will that offset the cost of 360-plus added cars and people roaming the North County streets and public areas.

Amy earns an ‘A’ I’d like to thank columnist Amy Roost for sharing her child’s creative writing paper with us. (Aug. 3)It's a wonderful exposition of an unburdened mind taking leaps of faith into a world that does not exist.

Gun owners laud Kersey The San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, a 700-plus-member political action committee

promoting Second Amendment rights, is grateful to San Diego City Councilmember Mark Kersey for his support. Kersey was among six councilmembers who signed a proclamation declaring May 6 as “San Diego County Gun Owners Day in the City of San Diego.” Amazingly, at the June 13 council meeting, two councilmembers voted to rescind the proclamation (Barbara Bry and Chris Ward). We applaud Councilmember Kersey for his courage to honor community members who support the Second Amendment. Clearly, every voter in the Fifth District should know that Mr. Kersey is serious about a citizen’s ability to protect themselves. The Second Amendment is about protection of yourself, your family and your dignity. Michael Schwartz Executive director

Trump and the truth Columnist Dick Lyles (Aug. 10) touts the great economic news of the Trump presidency. If unemployment numbers and the Dow recovery were “fake news” during the Obama administration, why are they to be accepted as the truth during the Trump administration? Furthermore, Trump has led a chaotic administration during the early months of his presidency. Consider Gen. Flynn, Paul Manafort, Reince Priebus and Donald Jr. Consider the bellicose rhetoric on North Korea and Venezuela. Consider the inability to identify white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. Consider the multitude of tweets. Finally, if anyone is looking for “a narcissistic coma” (Lyles’ label for Congress), they need look no further than Donald J. Trump. Thomas Ross Ferriolo Rancho Bernardo

Common Sense BY BARRY CRONIN

‘Gun decking’ the president

here is an amusing, often-told anecdote about a senior American officer proudly regaling his British counterpart regarding the many fine traditions of the United States military. Not surprisingly, the Englishman was less than impressed. “You Yanks have no traditions,” he brusquely interrupted, sniffing dismissively. “You have habits. And bad ones at that.” Humorous, yet not entirely true. Our traditions are simply not as old. Case in point. The use of venerable, colonial-era nautical terminology is widely practiced within the sea services to this day. One particular example comes to mind. I became all too familiar with the less-than- honorable practice of “gun decking” during my time as commanding officer of the largest battalion in the Marine Corps. Over time, I grew to detest it. “Gun decking” is Navy slang most commonly associated with the intentional falsification of official records and reports. Clearly not a good thing to do. One can also “gun deck” an accused by piling on as many charges and accusations as possible, hoping the trier of fact will be swayed by the sheer volume of malfeasances being alleged. Quantity equals

quality is the thought process behind it. Wheat and chaff both have weight. “Gun decking” can also involve deliberately omitting crucial facts and information. Here is the problem. Champions of “gun decking” ignore the fact that due process and the presumption of innocence apply to everyone, even miserable losers who may very well be guilty of some of the behavior being alleged. Stacking up all kinds of additional dubious charges on top of the legitimate ones, sometimes referred to as “trumped-up” charges (pun entirely coincidental), is reckless and wrong. It is also completely unfair to the accused. Which brings us to the subject of this column. Donald Trump was sworn in as our 45th chief executive on Jan. 20. That was seven months ago. Surely our president has accomplished something worthwhile during all that time. Fellow columnist Dick Lyles wrote an informative column on this very subject just last week. Unfortunately, he labors in splendid isolation. It has become abundantly clear the likelihood of ever hearing or reading any similar favorable accounts on the evening news or in any of the major metropolitan

Finding The Right Fit For Your Well-Being

newspapers is about zero to none. And even if the mainstream media were eventually compelled to finally acknowledge something “good” about the president, it would likely be limited and conditional. Service members will recognize it as the ever popular “damnation by faint praise.” Millions of Americans hold nothing but contempt for our president. It is a visceral contempt. They literally hate him. Fair enough. We live in a free country. For what it’s worth, I am no great fan of President Trump, either. I believe I have referred to him in the past as a “dreadful man,” a “bombastic jackass” and a “cheesy game show host.” Hardly the accolades of an apostle. But he is our duly elected commander-in-chief. Vote him out in 2020. Impeach him if you can. But as revolting as this may strike you, even Donald Trump deserves to be treated fairly. One can excuse social media, Hollywood and the hallowed halls of academia. They know not what they do. But the media? Any model journalistic code of ethics undoubtedly includes such virtues as truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, accountability and fairness. When it comes to this president, however, mainstream media has no code. They have allowed themselves to become politicized. If I were king for a day, this is what I would tell the mainstream media. Report the news accurately. All of it, not just the bad stuff. Investigate suspected wrongdoing. Hold this administration accountable. By all means, continue to do these things. But quit “gun decking” the president. Stop flinging all the dirt and debris you can find just to see what will stick. Due diligence, please. People are counting on you.

Just Sayin’ BY HARVEY LEVINE

Make your vote count

s with many of us who follow recent politics (as if it can be avoided), I am flummoxed to decipher how the voters made their selections in the polling booth. As I digest the way people voted in the last election, and I play back the dialogues I’ve had with various contacts, I see too many instances where people took a political stance that seemed inconsistent with their overall values and their own best interests. In many cases, votes were cast not because they favored a candidate, but because they despised the candidate’s opponent. Hate is hardly a good basis for making an election choice and often results in supporting someone who does not represent who you are and what you value. Many vote for a candidate of a favored party, without considering the individual running under that banner. They blindly accept the chosen candidates of the party, regardless of their character or the platform. Anyone under the party label must be better than someone from the opposition party. The voter who can’t be bothered to research the positions on the issues or the political record of the candidates follows a subliminal script and the party line. This is the lazy way out. Voters often follow one or more political

sources in print or on TV or radio. Most of these promote a biased, extremist point of view. Everything the voter hears is one-sided, frequently without substance or validation. Senator John McCain, upon returning to the Senate on July 26, nailed this point in his address to the chamber: “Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio, television and the internet. To hell with them. They don’t want anything done for the public good. Our incapacity is their livelihood.” Many voters make their choice based one dominating issue, a litmus test, which overshadows everything else. For some it is abortion. For others, the Second Amendment. Voters have cast their ballots for candidates who promised support for their personal hot button issue, regardless of the level of importance within the whole range of issues and without regard for the candidate’s sincerity or his ability to deliver the desired result. And without taking their remaining values into consideration. Some people vote based on gender bathroom access or shutting down women’s health clinics, ignoring positions on the serious challenges. Key issues such as health care, poverty, homelessness, foreign threats, immigration, climate change, jobs, taxes and the debt require urgent attention.

Yet apathy and willful ignorance prevail. Sometimes, voters can be gullible. They want something so badly that they will “hope” that the candidate will deliver, and they accept any verbiage in support of their hopes, without regard to feasibility or past performance. Thus, a false prophet can march into the Rust Belt promising jobs so badly needed that false pledges are not tested for credibility or practicability. Further clouding the judgment of voters may be allegiance to a religious conviction. The United States, originally settled mostly by people seeking religious freedom, was founded on the principle that our government should operate independently of any religious institution. Historically, our nation opened its doors to people from many cultures and religions. Having any religion impose its practices and beliefs on the nation would be the antithesis of our founders’ intent. Yet, today, we see repeated attempts by the Christian right to do just that. These actions are denying constitutional freedoms to a major part of the populace and standing in the way of productive legislative actions in Congress. If we were to set a precedent of allowing powerful religious factions to impose their will on the nation, who is to say that other fast-growing religious groups won’t do the same when their opportunity comes? Then where would we be? The bottom line is that this country will be in deep trouble if the electorate does not apply more thought and wisdom in casting their precious ballots. We are already seeing the damage that can be done by not being careful with our votes and conscious of the impact of our choices. We can blame the politicians all we want. But we must also remember who put them in office. A Rancho Bernardo resident, Levine is a retired project management consultant and the author of three books on the subject.

Pot plants found after Poway house catches fire More than 100 marijuana plants were found in a Poway house after it caught fire early Sunday, a sheriff’s sergeant said. Deputies were sent to investigate a possible explosion at the single-story house on Amso Street near Kaitz Street about 3:50 a.m., sheriff’s Sgt. David Toner said. They arrived to find a 35-year-old woman carrying a baby out of the home, which was engulfed in smoke and flames, the sergeant said. The woman’s 39-year-old husband was inside trying to put out the blaze. The man came out when deputies ordered him to, but he later tried to get back inside while screaming that he wanted to kill himself. “Force was used” to take the man into custody, and then to the hospital, Toner said. He did not say what type of force was used. Once fire crews put out the blaze, authorities found dozens and dozens of marijuana plants in various stages of growth in the home’s three bedrooms. The woman was later arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and the one-year-old was taken to the Polinsky Children’s Center, an emergency shelter for children who are separated form their family for their own safety. The man, after being released from the hospital, was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sales and child endangerment. From the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Because I Said So BY WENDY FAUCETT

Enjoy the ride!

njoy the ride! As a Certified Leadership Parenting Coach, I am privileged to answer parents’ questions on the “Parent Guru” website managed by Dr. John Rosemond. It’s useful for my work, giving me a sense of the issues with which parents are currently grappling. Many parents are worrying over things they can’t and shouldn’t control, such as their children’s friendships, grades, propensities, strengths and weaknesses. While it’s true that no one writes for advice when all is well, I do see a dismaying trend: parents are so busy fretting about almost everything that they’re missing out on the innate joy of children. One mom wrote that her 13-month-old son loved to dance, so she’d turn the TV to a music channel and let him do his thing. Fun, right? Not for this mom. She was worried about the amount of screen time his dance sessions amounted to (even though there is nothing but static photos and written information on the screen). With that in mind, I offer some ways to help parents focus on the joy to be found while living with children: 1. Write it down! . When your kids make you laugh, or amaze you, or touch your heart,

write it down! . I did just that for a while, and now have the sweetest, happiest, funniest account of the darling things they said and did. Our daughter was 5 when she asked “Mommy, if Daddy’s older than you, how come you’re smarter than him?” (That was easy to answer!) Our son was 2 when he asked “Mommy, why do we need slugs?” (That was difficult to answer!) And, now that our kids are adults, that little memory book is one of their favorite things. 2. Stop caring about things that, in the big picture, really don’t matter. No one ever wished they’d spent more time cleaning the house than being with their children. 3. Stop giving your children things and start creating experiences that will become life-long memories. Spend your money on outings and adventures instead of toys that lose their appeal after a few weeks. 4. Celebrate half birthdays when they’re little because a year is a very long time to wait! ! Our tradition was to buy half a cake, put half candles on it and sing half the birthday song. I’d also give the half birthday child a gift that usually comes in pairs, like one shoelace or one glove. (We’d also bring half a Twinkie to school for each classmate, but you probably aren’t allowed to do that

Time to party . . . the kids are back in school!

EVENT HALL AVAILABLE

anymore.) 5. Let them play in the rain. So what if they get wet? In fact, some of the best advice I ever read was “When your kids are cranky, put them in water!” 6. Give them time and space to create, explore and discover, without adults telling them what they’re supposed to do. Celebrate their resourcefulness and creativity. 7. Most parents, mothers especially, will say that parenting is the hardest job in the world. They’re wrong. Being happily married is the hardest job in the world! . Focus on that.! If you’re a single parent, focus on creating a fulfilling adult life for yourself. 8. Send your kids the clear message that you are confident in their ability by not helping with homework and insisting that your children do as much for themselves as possible. This will help lower your stress level, and help raise your children’s self-worth. 9. Be silly with them! . Read silly books, make silly jokes, sing silly songs, do silly things!. 10. You are not your child’s playmate, but you certainly can play with your child! . (My favorites were Play-Doh, coloring and board games.) Raising children is crucially important, and enjoying them is an essential part of the job. Remember that you’re in the driver’s seat. Rearing children is a not a quick trip from A to B. It’s a long journey with all sorts of detours during which you must be aware of obstacles, pace yourself, keep up your energy and pay attention to your surroundings. Buckle up, and enjoy the ride!

Football honors coming in for ex-Nighthawk Quenton Meeks is on the watch list for the top defensive player award in college football BY TERRY MONAHAN Former Del Norte High two-way football player Quenton Meeks has been following in his dad’s footsteps almost since the day he was born. That meant he developed a pure passion for football to match his dad’s. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder begins his third season as a cornerback with the Stanford Cardinal, having tucked away some impressive preseason honors. He’s been named to the Bronko Nagurski watch list for the top defensive player in college football. Meeks is also on the Jim Thorpe Award watch list for the country’s top defensive backs. For good measure, he was also chosen on the Athlon preseason All-America third team. “I was surprised by the Nagurski award,’’ Meeks said. “I’d never even heard of it before. “The Thorpe award, though, is something I’ve wanted to win since I was very little. “Being named to these watch lists is great for now, but I’ll wait until the end of the season to get really excited.’’ The Nagurski winner is announced Dec. 4 while the Thorpe winner is named Dec. 7. That Meeks has reached such stature in just his junior year at Stanford has more to do with who is he as opposed to what he’s become. Football has been the carrot that has been dangling in front of Meeks from a very early age. His dad Ron, who played for Miami (Fla.) and won a national championship with the Hurricanes in 1987, has coached defensive backs in eight NFL cities - Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers and San

Being named to these watch lists is great for now, but I’ll wait until the end of the season to get really excited.

Quenton Meeks Defensive back for Stanford

Del Norte High grad Quenton Meeks runs in an interception for a touchdown against Iowa in the first quarter in the 2016 Rose Bowl. Diego Chargers - during a 21-year career. He was on the coaching staff of Tony Dungy’s Super Bowl winning team. “I’ve been doing DB drills

since elementary school,’’ Meeks said, laughing. “I’ve dreamed of playing in the NFL since I could think. Not just being a player but an impact player. “Success in this game is not a

surprise. I’ve always wanted it. “A football career is a lifestyle. I learned that at a very young age.’’ Born in Knoxville, Tenn., Meeks spent time in Atlanta

before moving to North County and enrolling at Del Norte High as a sophomore. Despite playing both ways for the Nighthawks as well as also playing track and baseball there, Meeks was a relative unknown until college coaches started noticing his size and his skill set. As a senior at Del Norte, Meeks stepped out of the shadows and was a first-team All-CIF selection before inking a letter of intent with Stanford. “Stanford was always the goal,’’ Meeks said. “I heard about it freshman year and just kept working. “It’s not easy to get into this place. You have to be a good football player second but a great student first. While most of my classmates at Del Norte were taking electives senior year I was still taking (Advanced Placement) classes and full of homework.’’ The sociology major played 14 games as a Stanford freshman and collected 34 tackles and a team-leading three interceptions. He was even FWAA National Defensive Player of the Week in early November. Sophomore year he played in 11 games and was Pacific-12 honorable mention after getting 22 tackles and two interceptions. He still, however, recalls the first time he got beat deep by a receiver as a Cardinal. “Like it was yesterday,’’ Meeks said. “It was against Oregon State and that was the worst feeling I’ve ever had. “This guy had elite speed and I was wearing a knee brace at the time and he had an extra gear that I didn’t have right then. “It was the first time I’d ever been beaten deep going back to high school. It humbled me and helped me at the same time.’’ Still following dad’s example, Meeks doesn’t mind taking one step back as long as it’s accompanied by two steps forward on the football field.

Phone call points Connor Joe in new baseball direction

Former top draft pick packs bags for Mississippi BY TERRY MONAHAN August 5 was like any other day in the minor leagues for Poway’s Connor Joe. The major league trade deadline had come and gone. Nothing happened to anyone on his team, the Altoona Curve, the Double-A farm team of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Then his phone rang. “It was Larry Broadway, the farm director,’’ Joe said. “Not every day a minor leaguer hears from the farm director.’’ Broadway informed Joe, a first baseman and former No. 1 draft pick in 2014, that he’d been traded to the Atlanta Braves for major league infielder Sean Rodriguez. “My mind went into a fog,’’ Joe said. “Being traded straight up for a big leaguer made me feel a little better. “It was a strange place to be. I wasn’t part of the Pirates anymore.’’ He had to wait 30 minutes to hear from the Braves, so he called his dad, who sensed something had happened as soon as he answered the phone. “That 30 minutes seemed like a couple of days,’’ said Joe, who turned 25 on Wednesday. “I called my mom and my girlfriend and I couldn’t answer their questions. I didn’t know anything. “They kept saying I should see the positive side. Not that Pirates didn’t want me but

Just off the seven-day disabled list after suffering a dislocated left middle finger on his glove hand June 28, the 6-foot, 205-pound Joe went to the clubhouse in Trenton, New Jersey, where the Curve were playing the Yankees farm team.

Then there was a quick trip to his apartment to pack up before taking a 16-hour drive in his car to Pearl. In Pearl, Joe will be staying with a host family while the lease runs out this month on his apartment in Altoona. “The whole thing was a little stressful,’’ said Joe, who was hitting .240 with five home runs and 30 RBIs at the time of the trade. “That’s the business side of baseball and the first lesson is I can #1 in Customer Service Satisfaction for all only control what I can San Diego County Toyota Service Depts. 2016

Every dream I ever had of making the big leagues was with Pittsburgh, but I guess you can’t get too attached to an organization, especially in the minors.’’ The Pirates chose Joe with the 39th pick in the draft after he was named the West Coast Conference player of the year as a junior at USD. He batted .367 with nine homers and a conference-leading 51 RBIs. Joe was a third baseman until he got to USD, which already had Kris Bryant, the National League MVP after helping the Cubs to the World Series title for the first time in 108 years, there. So Joe moved to first base. He even learned to catch the summer in 2013 while playing in the prestigious Cape Cod League. “I got a different perspective on things behind the plate,’’ Joe said. “Whatever someone sees as a way to get to the big leagues, I’ll do it. Whatever they want me to do. “That’s kind of how I’m approaching what’s left of this season and the offseason now that I’m in a different organization.’’

RB volleyball coach grew up a multi-sport star Times have changed, but Kara Hanes has no regrets BY TERRY MONAHAN The number of multi-sport athletes in high school have dwindled down to a precious few. But Kara (Milling) Hanes remembers the joy she had playing multiple sports and now her children are taking after her. Hanes, the second-year girls volleyball coach at Rancho Bernardo and one of the age 12 coaches at San Diego Volleyball Club, considered herself a basketball player in middle school just like her two older brothers at Poway. Chad played basketball and was a first-team All-Palomar League pick in boys water polo in 1989. Kyle was a two-time All-CIF player in basketball in 1990-92 and he now coaches in Europe. At about the same time the Milling boys were playing for the Titans, Kara was tearing it up in volleyball and basketball. But the hard work that led her to play four years of volleyball at UCLA was well beyond what today’s players have to endure to succeed in just one sport. There are very few volleyball-basketball players in San Diego County nearly three decades after Hanes’ hectic schedule. “I never felt like I was burning out,’’ Hanes said. “I was always fresh for both sports. There were a lot of players doing two or even three sports. I had some three-sport teammates.’’ Other than the normal crossover like

Coach Kara Hanes with her San Diego Volleyball Club team. running cross country and track or water polo and swimming, multi-sport athletes are now an endangered species. Top-flight athletes prefer to play one sport and then head off to their club team when the high school season ends. “I would do it again,’’ Hanes said. “Playing one sport would not be the best thing for me. In eighth grade I was more into basketball, maybe because my brothers played. “Going from volleyball right into basketball and then club volleyball was just the way it was, the way I wanted it.’’

As soon as Poway’s volleyball season concluded - she played for legendary coach Lisa Reis - in the fall, Kara stayed in the gym for basketball while never really walking away from volleyball. She would practice basketball for coach Jay Trousdale, the county’s all-time leader in coaching victories, from 3-5 p.m., go home for a quick snack and then it was off to club volleyball practice twice a week from 6:30-9 p.m. at Mission Bay High. Then she’d head home for a few hours of homework before going to bed.

“I can’t remember much about dinner, except mom always had some food around for me,’’ said Hanes, whose first year of club volleyball was in eighth grade. “There were very few clubs around, but San Diego Volleyball Club was the best. “We had the best team around and we had the same players for years. We didn’t have the club hopping that we have today.’’ Hanes was third-team All-CIF as a sophomore and twice was a first-team All-CIF pick in basketball. In volleyball, she was a four-time first-team All-CIF choice, three times earning player of the year honors. Once a year during basketball season, Hanes would miss a tournament for Poway to play in an important club volleyball tournament which emphasized recruiting. “Trousdale wasn’t very flexible and I understood that,’’ Hanes said. “I knew I’d have to sit out the start of my next game back. I hated that.’’ Now Hanes may be seeing her past coming back in her future. Eighth-grade son Luke plays on club teams in both basketball and baseball. Daughter Jenna, a fifth grader, is a club player in volleyball and basketball. “She’s just happy to go be with her friends,’’ Hanes said of Jenna. “That’s the only reason we let her do this. “She’s having fun. And she’s learning how to balance her efforts in class and in the gym. But I have to admit I’m seeing my old life come around for a second time.’’ Son Jake, who is 5, is too young for club ball.

ENTERTAINMENT

A powerful ‘Evita’ is gracing the Lyceum Stage BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A powerful, emotional performance by San Diego Repertory Theatre’s cast makes “Evita” worth seeing at the Lyceum Stage in downtown San Diego. The musical featuring the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics of Tim Rice can be seen through Aug. 27. Marisa Matthews seems to live the part while portraying the title character, Eva Perón, whom many Argentinians referred to as Evita. The model, actress and radio star who rose from abject poverty to first lady of Argentina was a controversial figure, but with her husband, Juan Perón (aptly played by Jason Maddy), brought social and economic reforms to the country during his years as president. Eva — who died in 1952 at the age of 33 due to cancer — was ahead of her time. According to the show’s program, she was “the most influential first lady in the nation’s history — running Argentina’s Ministries of Health and Labor (plus) founding and operating the charitable Eva Perón Foundation.” Juan, a colonel, became president in 1946 and Eva opted to not be a traditional first lady. She stood at her husband’s side instead of behind him and provided “direct social help” in the form of jobs, medicine, housing and education to the poor and working class. In 1951, Eva sought to become vice president, but withdrew her candidacy due to her failing

REVIEW

DAREN SCOTT

Eva Perón (Marisa Matthews) singing “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” to supporters listening to her, while her husband, Juan Perón (Jason Maddy), looks on from the Presidential Palace balcony in San Diego Repertory Theatre’s production of “Evita,” playing on the Lyceum Stage through Aug. 27. health and opposition from the nation’s bourgeoisie and military. Matthews fully embraced all the nuances required of her character, starting with Eva at 15 who was full of stars in her eyes and ambition, no matter what it required, and advancing to the 33-year-old fragile, physically weak woman

defeated by cancer. This was especially evident during “Eva’s Final Broadcast.” Matching Matthew’s acting was her beautiful singing voice, soaring in numbers like “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and the plaintive “You Must Love Me”. Countering Eva is the fictional character of

Che (inspired by Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara from Argentina and major figure in the Cuban Revolution). Jeff Ricca excels in the role, a counterbalance to the positive side of Eva, a devil’s advocate so to speak in reaction to the people’s near sainthood view of her. Che — a narrator role — points out her flaws, including her use of many lovers to move her way up the career and social ladder, and initial slowness in bringing true help to the poor who elected her husband. Che’s disdain for her appears early, during “Oh What a Circus,” where he counters the grieving public’s fondess for Eva. With the Lyceum Stage being an intimate space, Ricca’s singing was a bit too loud, though it seemed to tone down somewhat as the show progressed. Ricca does have a wonderful singing voice, as did a couple other supporting characters who deserve mention and on Saturday night received clear appreciation from the audience. Victor Chan as Magaldi (Eva’s first lover and well-known singer) was wonderful in “On This Night of a Thousand Stars” and the vocal talent of Mikaela Celeste (Juan’s mistress before Eva) shone while pondering her future in “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.” The 24 cast members (including several students from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, which also provided many student musicians for the orchestra) did well in this largely ensemble piece directed by Sam Woodhouse and musically staged by Javier SEE REVIEW, B6

Patio Playhouse’s ‘Into the Woods’ runs through Aug. 26 BY EMILY SORENSEN Patio Playhouse Community and Youth Theater is taking a trip “Into the Woods,” running now through Saturday, Aug. 26 at Kit Carson Amphitheater in Escondido. The musical, which weaves classic fairy tales together, tells the story of a baker and his wife, who desperately want a baby of their own; Cinderella, who dreams of attending a festival at the palace; and Jack, a boy who’s cow is dry. The baker and his wife set out into the woods to break the curse on their family, drawing everyone else in. “Into the Woods” features music and lyrics by the legendary Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. It won Tony Awards for best score and best book, as well as the 2002 Tony Award for best revival. The show stars Keri Miller as the Baker’s Wife, Cassie Bleher as Cinderella, Brian Evans as the Baker, Lori Tinkle as The Witch, David Spitzfaden as Jack and Tamara Alsaied as Little Red Riding Hood.

Multiple Choice

1. Watermelons, the quintessential fruit of summer e) All of the above The lycopene-rich, pink-fleshed beauty is a culinary chameleon tossed in an elegant heirloom tomato, mozzarella and fragrant basil salad, blended in a refreshing agua fresca, or sliced quick and dirty in chunks. A native to South Africa and known in India since prehistoric times, the gourd was also used as a canteen to quench the thirst of early explorers. Seedless varieties have since been developed by treating unpollinated seeds with acid. But some folks still enjoy the non-treated variety as the glossy black seeds can be used for amusement (seed spitting contests) or salted and roasted as a snack. 2. Eating this leafy green packed with the Lutein pigment creates an internal sun shield that lessens burning, and protects optic nerves from sun damage e) b and d Spinach and kale are mighty warriors against sun’s damaging rays. So, pack a beach

This member of the rose family, once known as the “Persian apple” has over 700 varieties with a poisonous pit containing hydrocyanic acid b) peach Whip up a grilled peach and spinach salad, curried salmon with peach chutney, gingered cobbler, or enjoy them in hand for an energy-boosting snack. Just don’t eat the pits! 4. Traditionally a savory winter herb, this aromatic summer attention grabber is tossed in coals to infuse a woodsy flavor to lamb, chicken and fish, used as a stirring stick for cocktails, and skewer for kebobs d) rosemary 5. To ease sunburn pain, place on tender spots f) a and b Lactic acid from a cool milk compress will soothe a sunburn, while a strawberry juice and honey balm will also do the trick. 6.

This sassy herb not only ratchets up alertness, but refreshes the palate in iced teas, lemonades, mojitos, taboulehs, salsas, dips and lamb dishes d) spearmint, more delicate than its stinging sibling peppermint.

True/False

1. Eating garlic repels the occasional vampire, and bloodsucking mosquitoes. True Garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that repulses mosquitoes when exuded through sweat, so eat a smashed clove several times a week (on your stay-at-home days). 2. The Heirloom tomato is a cross between an Ugli fruit and beefsteak tomato. False Trendy and quirky-looking heirlooms are “open pollinated,” interbreeding with members of the same high-brow variety, preserving desirable qualities from past generations. 3. To lessen the itch from pesky bug bites, soak irritated skin in salt water, then slather with vegetable oil of choice. True 4. Antioxidant-packed dark chocolate with cocoa content over 72% has been linked to protecting skin from sunburn. True Two ounces daily (need I twist your arm) will provide a good dose of sunburn protection.

BANDIT, a 4-year-old Manchester Terrier mix, is looking for a new best friend! He is a very active fellow and would do best as an only dog in the home because he doesn’t always like to share food or toys. That said, if there are children in the home it would best if they are older, as small children may not understand that he is not good at sharing. If there is another dog in the home, a meeting at the Escondido Campus will be required and it would be great if you would talk to our Trainer on how to manage resources in the home so there will be no squabbling. Bandit is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Clipping those coupons

clip coupons. There, I’ve admitted it. Like most people I’m looking to save money on stuff I buy. In fact 85 percent of Americans reportedly use coupons, so this might interest you. Somewhere north of 320 billion coupons are issued annually, saving consumers around $3.5 billion. And every coupon is meant to promote immediate sales and increased product sampling. My family typically uses them to stock up on regular purchases. I prefer paper coupons over digital ones. The paper coupons are easy to organize and that makes for quick decisions on whether I’ll use a specific one. Digital coupons require more work than I’m willing to invest. Fortunately, I read daily newspapers, bringing me 5 to 7 booklets of coupons each week. Once a month I clip and file them while watching TV, keeping the whole process painless, organized and good for my wallet. Last month Procter & Gamble ran an ad in one of those booklets. But they didn’t make it easy for me to give them my money. Nope, they blew it! The offending ad was for several cooperating P&G detergents and it had a coupon saying (in big black letters) “$3 for 3.” Easy enough.

Then a little lower down it said in big red letters “NOT A COUPON,” and directed buyers to a web site to print a coupon. You had a two-week window to print it, so by the time I got my act together I had about 20 minutes until the coupon disappeared. Then, arriving at the site I found myself clicking, and clicking, and clicking to locate the page and sort through 60 coupons for the proper one. Admittedly, this is smart on one level, since I’ve now been exposed to many P&G products I didn’t realize they make. However, it to work WAY too much for this paltry reward and it just wasn’t worth it to me to find the right item, print the coupon, and still need to clip it. So I moved on and bought from a competitor instead. Yes, P&G has a big product line. Yes, they should be experimenting to see what works. However, unless they’re giving stuff away and collecting names for a mailing list (they weren’t), all this strategy did was cheese off a customer. My instinct says that wasn’t their objective. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Improve your own marketing at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Cellar 3 holding beer and food fest Aug. 27 BY EMILY SORENSEN Green Flash is bringing its annual Treasure Chest Beer and Food Fest event for the first time to its Cellar 3 tasting room in Poway on Aug. 27. The event, now in its seventh year, offers exclusive Green Flash, Cellar 3 and Alpine beers, including one-off keg and cask creations, served alongside food provided by some of San Diego’s finest chefs. All festival proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s San Diego chapter. “We’re really excited to bring (this event) to Poway,” said Warren Brown, manager of Cellar 3. “It’s really cool to be part of this community here.” The event will run from noon to 5 p.m. at Cellar 3, 12260 Crosthwaite Circle in the Poway Business Park. In addition to food and beer tasting, the event will include live music, games and more. Warren said they are expecting about 600 attendees at the event. Tickets for the event include a $45 early bird special (available online until Aug. 26), which includes unlimited beer tasting, 10 food tastings and a commemorative glass. Food-only tickets with glass are available for $30 (beer can be purchased individually for $2 to $5 each) and a $25 designated driver ticket (food and soft drinks only) is also available. Tickets will be $55 day-of event at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/2vTJZ6q. Cellar 3 opened in the Poway Business Park a little over two years ago with both a tasting room and a brewing facility, where Green Flash experiments with barrel-aging and wild yeast. “(Green Flash) has really been able to improve the quality and quantity of its wine- and spirt-barrel-aged offerings over the past two years,” Brown said. “For the first time ever, we’re offering 32 oz. growlettes so customers can take home bottled and draft beer.” Brown said Cellar 3 also is able to offer rare beers year-round. In addition to beer, Cellar 3 brings in food trucks from all around San Diego so patrons can grab a bite to eat while

Brown said the upcoming Treasure Chest Beer and Food Fest isn’t the only event Cellar 3 is having. “We’re focusing a lot on events,” he said. “Live music, community-inclusive food events.” Cellar 3 has had ice cream socials (with beer floats) and donut socials, which have been kid-friendly. The tasting room also offers tours of its attached brewing facility, which must be arranged in advance, Brown said. “We’re all about inviting people into our space and sharing what we do,” he said. Brown said Cellar 3 has also expanded into the community, offering a booth with beer tastings and packaged beer sales at the Poway Farmer’s Market for the past couple months. “We’re showing people what we can do and offering something else cool in the community to come out for,” he said. The facility has also extended its open hours as a direct result of local feedback, Brown said. “Locals wanted us to stay open longer and we listened,” he said. Cellar 3 is now open from noon until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays as a result, noon to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays and 3 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. It is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. For information, call 858-263-3883 or visit greenflashbrew.com.

Three ways to add pops of color to your kitchen professional quality custom Italian appliances for the home, offers ranges in six standard American sizes, as well as a “city-sized” 24-inch option. Both single and double oven options are available, as well as dual fuel and all gas connection choices. What’s more, you can further customize the legs and accents of your appliance in various finishes and looks. Another brand offering brilliant color options such as gloss red and light blue is Verona, which offers appliances that use exclusive cooking technology to minimize fuel and energy consumption, and provide safe and efficient cooking.

(StatePoint) If your kitchen is bland or boring, it’s time for an update. Consider those home projects that add pops of color and beauty, inspiring you to do your best culinary work. Here are three beautiful ways to add new hues to any kitchen.

Natural color

For a verdant, fragrant and useful pop of color, grow an herb garden right in your kitchen. From lavender to basil to chives, you can brighten your kitchen with natural colors, while adding some zest to salads, stews and more. Evaluate your kitchen for direct sunlight to determine the ideal size and shape of your garden, then get creative. Many people choose to create a hanging wall garden. Others prefer a tiered counter for the floor or pots for the countertop.

Functional focal point

Consider creating a focal point in your kitchen in an eye-catching color that adds vitality to the space. One great way to do this is by focusing on the heart of every kitchen - the range. Experts point out that black finishes in the kitchen have reemerged as a trending design element this year. So if you do choose black, you may prefer to emphasize this selection with a gloss

Standard colors are offered everywhere, but for something more unexpected, seek out brands that also offer customization in addition to classic choices like gloss black, such as ILVE. Through its Custom Color Program, you can select one of 213 RAL Classic colors for your range or hood. The brand, known for

Brilliant backsplash

For a cohesive look, consider the focal point of your kitchen and build out from there with a beautiful backsplash. Backsplashes are stylishly versatile and nearly any kitchen benefits aesthetically from the addition of one. Choices of materials include mosaic glass tiles, marble and metal - the possibilities are nearly endless - giving you a lot of flexibility in color and texture. The kitchen is the center of the home, where families make not only meals, but memories, too. Add beautiful bursts of color to the space to make it a place you love to spend time.

San Diego home sales continue slide SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The number of homes that changed owners in the San Diego region continued to fall last month, though the median sales price continued to climb, a Realtors group announced. The San Diego Association of Realtors reported that 2,011 single-family homes were sold in July, 20 percent less than June and 10 percent below the same month last year. The median sales price of a house in the region was $620,000, 1 percent above the month before and 11 percent above July 2016. For attached homes like condominiums and townhouses, 1,075 changed hands in July, 14 percent fewer than the previous month and 7 percent under last July's figure. The median condo sales price was $405,000, 1 percent lower than June but 7 percent above the cost in July 2016. “We are predominantly in a seller's market,” said SDAR President Bob Kevane. “Savvy buyers, and particularly first-time buyers, will need to scramble and be purchase-ready, as they are faced with competing offers, sometimes over the asking price.” The most expensive property sold last month was a recently remodeled 3,500-square-foot oceanfront home in Encinitas featuring four bedrooms and five baths, at a price of nearly $8 million.
