BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Providing legal advice to city officials, prosecuting locals accused of committing misdemeanors and being a taxpayer advocate are the three primary roles San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott and her staffers do on a daily basis. “I love this job and am having the time of my life,” Elliott said of being the first female city attorney and first Latina elected to a citywide office in San Diego. She spoke on Sept. 13 in Rancho Bernardo at the Wednesday Etc. Women’s Club luncheon. “It is the most fascinating job I’ve ever had.” The Scripps Ranch resident was elected last fall to oversee the 360 staff members, including 160 lawyers, in the second-largest full-functioning law firm in San Diego. It operates on a $54 million budget.

Before election she was the chief deputy city attorney for the office’s Public Services Section and legal adviser to the city’s Independent Audit Committee and Environment Committee. Prior to that Elliott was a senior deputy county counsel who advised various county groups and agencies, was a deputy general counsel to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board and general counsel to K-12 and community college districts throughout California. Despite her professional experience — which she said far outweighed her four male competitors — Elliott said while on the two-year campaign trail she often encountered people who questioned her ability to be San Diego’s city attorney because she is a woman. “There were many challenges along the SEE ATTORNEY, A13

BY STEVE DREYER The 45th annual Poway Rodeo returns for a Friday night performance and for two shows on Saturday in the Russ Sheldon Arena on the Poway Valley Riders Association grounds, 14336 Tierra Bonita Road. Tickets are on sale at powayrodeo.com or can be purchased at the gate. The rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The Saturday night performance typically sells out while Friday night came close to doing so last year, according to Poway Rodeo Committee Chairman Murray Bankhead. Fans attending the Saturday afternoon performance are encouraged to come early to enjoy young cowboys competing in Pacific Coast Junior Bull Riders competition, which begins at 11 a.m. Gates open at 10 a.m. Adults-only dances will be held following the Friday and Saturday night rodeos. They are free with paid rodeo admission. Valid IDs are required. While the rodeo is all about professional cowboys trying to win money and points, it is also known for providing plenty of entertainment for families. The featured act this year is rodeo clown JJ Harrison, who performed in Poway in 2012 and 2015. Additional entertainment will be provided by members of The Hole in the Wall Gang, a Lakeside-based Old West reenactment group, and The Shooting Stars equestrian drill team. Four-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Announcer of the Year Wayne Brooke will be back for his 14th year. The always-popular kids’ rodeo events at each performance include mutton busting – children under 50 pounds and at least 3 years of age try to ride a sheep for eight seconds – and junior barrel racing. There is also a special VIP designated area for kids. Friday and Saturday night general admission tickets are $21 for adults and $14 for children. Saturday afternoon tickets are $15 and $8. A “family pass” is available for Saturday afternoon for $38. The package includes admissions for two adults and three children.

The 2017 Poway Rodeo Junior Queen Lacey Bainbridge and Poway Rodeo Queen Bridgette LaHaye are ready to answer attendees’ questions about the two-day event.

Poway rodeo queens serve as event ambassadors BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK If you want to know more about the Poway Rodeo, or the rodeo world in general, just ask a rodeo queen. Bridgette LaHaye, the 2017 Poway Rodeo queen, and Lacey Bainbridge, the 2017 Poway Rodeo junior queen, said answering people’s questions are just part of their royal duties. For that reason, the young women — who also held the same titles in 2016 — said they spend hours studying various rodeo components and latest updates in the rodeo world so they can be the go-to people for all inquiries. They typically participate in two or three events in Poway per month, plus represent the Poway Rodeo at other rodeos and community events throughout the region year-round, LaHaye said. “I try to make new rodeo fans,” the 20-year-old LaHaye said about her interactions. “(People) come up to me and ask about the sport, how or why we do something, the rules and regulations. This is why (rodeo queen) pageants are so difficult, because you spend so much time studying ... to understand rodeo. “We debunk myths and teach what rodeo is all about, in order to turn them into rodeo fans,” she said. “I put everything (about rodeo) in a binder that I brought to school,” the 13-year-old Bainbridge said. “We had to read for 20 minutes (during school days), so I did my (rodeo) studying at school, and at home. I also work with the girls competing (for queen titles), studying with them. “I’ve (already) learned a lot, but you’re always learning something new,” Bainbridge added. “Bridgette knows a lot more about rodeo than me. She has taught me a lot.” Even though the Poway Rodeo did not

hold 2016 or 2017 pageants — LaHaye and Bainbridge were appointed to the 2016 titles and asked to stay on for this year — both have competed in pageants before. LaHaye said she has been competing for the past eight years, starting at age 11 or 12 when her horse trainer — a rodeo queen herself — said the pageant would “help me get out of my shell and not be as shy. She threw me into a pageant.” Her first was a 2009 Poway competition. “I did not win, but got a lot of cool stuff,” she recalled. That changed by the next year, when LaHaye was crowned the 2010 Ramona Rodeo Young Miss. In 2011 she became Poway Rodeo Junior Queen and was asked to continue for 2012, was 2013 Teen Miss Rodeo California and 2015 Valley Center Rodeo Queen before returning for the past two years as Poway Rodeo Queen. Even though they are competing against each other, LaHaye said she met most of her friends “through rodeo queening” since it is typically the same girls competing each time. “We encourage each other to run in other pageants,” she said. “We’re a big family.” Bainbridge said she was encouraged to enter pageants by her mentor, Mackenzie Cayford, Miss Rodeo California 2012. “I rode the horse she rode and when I was little I wanted to be like her, so when I was old enough (I entered),” she said. Even though it was her first pageant and Bainbridge was the youngest contestant at age 10, she was crowned the 2014 Valley Center Rodeo Young Miss and has since added the two Poway titles to her résumé. Pageant contestants are judged in several categories, LaHaye said. There is a written SEE QUEEN, A6

Rancho Bernardo resident to celebrate 100th birthday on Saturday Robert “Bob” Brown and family moved to RB in 1965 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK One of Rancho Bernardo’s earliest residents — Robert “Bob” Brown — will be celebrating his 100th birthday with 50 family members and friends on Saturday. “I guess it feels alright,” Brown said about becoming a centenarian, attributing it to “good parents, lineage.” Throughout his life Brown has been very physically active, something he has continued into his late-‘90s. He still swims laps for at least a half-hour six days a week at the RB Swim & Tennis Club, square dances weekly with the Promonaders every Thursday in Escondido and, until four years ago, played golf. He still drives. Sally Holmen said her parents started playing golf in 1958 when her father was stationed with the Navy in Hawaii and recalled that her parents often played 18 to 27 holes at a time. She said they also loved to socialize. Brown and his wife, Olive (often called “Tots”), golfed and danced together for decades, the latter included ballroom dancing,

round dancing and a few years after moving to Rancho Bernardo in 1965, started square dancing with a group called the RBees. Their lessons were at the Seven Oaks Community Center. Brown was born on Sept. 23, 1917 in Needles, California. He was the only child of William “Billy” and Mary Louise Brown, who lived to 81 and 86, respectively. Soon after graduating from Needles High School in 1935 Brown joined the Navy.

Galveston. The family lived all over the world, moving every two or three years, Holmen said. Brown’s stateside duty stations included Long Beach; San Diego; Norfolk, Virginia; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Rockville, Maryland; and Washington, D.C. Overseas assignments included Paris and Japan. Holmen said her parents — who married on Dec. 9, 1939 after meeting only six weeks earlier in Oakland — came from very different backgrounds. Her father

“A friend had a relative in the Navy, so that’s what attracted me (to that service branch),” he said. He worked in naval communications, sending messages and doing advanced cryptography, “a lot of secretive (stuff),” he said. Brown was stateside when the U.S. entered World War II, but was soon transferred to locations in the Pacific. During his 30-year military career he served aboard the USS Cincinnati, USS Colorado, USS Astoria and USS

was an only child who grew up in California eating two meals a day while her mother was from a family of 11 in South Dakota and grew up eating five meals a day. They were married for 61 years, until Tots’ death in 2000. The couple has two daughters, Evonne Hammond of Bellport, Long Island, New York and Sally Holmen of Valley Center, three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In 2004 Brown married Al Evans and they were avid square dancers until her death in August 2014. After Brown retired from the Navy the family moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1965 (he still lives in the same house) and Holmen completed her junior and senior years at Poway High. Brown’s second career included working in Escondido for Mid Valley Electric for about five years, then for the next decade worked with a neighbor, Marvin Barrett, doing appliance repairs and plumbing in Rancho Bernardo. Brown said he and Tots selected RB for their home because “we heard good things about RB. It was suggested as a good place to live. ... We loved to play golf and liked the weather.”

test on rodeo knowledge (in general and the specific rodeo, such as its sponsors), horses and equine science. There is a poise and personality component to see how confident contestants are, an interview, impromptu on-stage question and horse riding skills test to see how they handle a horse. The latter is in part because during a rodeo the queens ride their horses around the arena while carrying large flags, Bainbridge said. LaHaye said she rides her 14-year-old quarter horse named Penny. “I used to do junior barrels when I was younger, but I do not have a professional racing card so now I just do queen stuff,” she said. Barrels are her favorite rodeo event and when she has an opportunity to watch the rodeo — when not busy with queen duties behind the scenes — LaHaye said she likes watching those she has met in the rodeo world. “I’ve seen some in their first professional rodeo and (now) they are the top 15 in the world. I’ve seen them grow and compete, so I cheer them on from the stands or back,” she said. While Bainbridge said she rides her quarter horse named Pepper for queen duties during the past three years, to compete in junior barrels she rides LaHaye’s horse. “Mine is trained to not run barrels, because I have to keep her focused,” she said about Pepper’s personality. Both said they especially enjoy their interactions with children. LaHaye said she signs several hundred cowboy hats each year for boys and girls at various rodeos. One day she was babysitting some girls who showed her the hat she signed for them over the course of four years, noting they let no one but her sign that particular hat. “It didn’t dawn on me that it was a sacred hat,” LaHaye said. “I never thought of it that way. It was a total shock. ... They thought of me as the bees’ knees because I talked to (them) for five minutes.” One of the girls now holds a young miss title. LaHaye said being a sister queen to Bainbridge is special to her since she first met the junior queen at age 3 or 4. “When

we met she was a little, goggle-eyed baby. ... I told her some day she would be a rodeo queen because she had the look and personality (when on her horse). ... Now, she is my junior queen.” “Bridgette used to babysit me, so it is amazing (to be her junior queen),” Bainbridge said. “It is a complete honor because I always looked up to her. When I found out (we would reign together) I was in tears because I was so happy. ... She’s always there for me, like the big sister I never had.” While the rodeo queen contestants can live throughout the area, LaHaye said she has Poway ties. Her parents, Laurence and Darcy (Pettycord) LaHaye, graduated from Poway High in ‘76 and ‘78 respectively and her grandparents on both sides were known in the community. Her maternal grandfather, Dave Pettycord, still lives in Poway and her paternal grandfather, Robert LaHaye, owned Shoe Country in Poway for years. As for future plans, LaHaye said she would like to continue competing in pageants, but is going to take a hiatus so she can finish her education. The Escondido resident said she is a sophomore studying psychology at MiraCosta College. She would like to continue her education at UC Irvine, go to graduate school and become a college professor. “A state-level pageant is not in my immediate plans because college is getting harder and more expensive,” she said. “I can be a rodeo queen until 25 or 26, so I have some time.” At state and national pageants she said scholarship money is available to pay for future education or — if one has already graduated — to pay off student loans. Local pageant prizes typically consist of belt buckles, fancy saddles, purses, leather portfolios and gift cards for clothing queens need to wear during their reigns. Bainbridge, an eighth grader at Valley Center Middle School who aspires to become an orthopedic surgeon, said her pageant prospects are unclear at the moment due to other activities. “I’m also doing competitive softball,” she said. “I’m hoping to do more rodeo queen pageants, but it depends on how softball goes.”

Del Norte’s Mark Lantsberger Poway 4-H seeking new members is a county Teacher of the Year BY EMILY SORENSEN One of Poway Unified School District’s Teachers of the Year has been honored at the county level. Mark Lantsberger, a computer science teacher at Del Norte High School, was named one of five San Diego County’s Teachers of the Year Saturday at the Cox “Salute to Teachers” award show. A total of 44 school district nominees were up for the nomination. The other four county Teachers of the Year hail from Grossmont Union High School District, South Bay Union School District, San Diego Unified School District and La Mesa-Spring Valley School District. Lantsberger will now move on as a nominee for a state-level honor. This is the second year in a row that Del Norte High School has had its Teacher of the Year advance to the county level. Previous year’s winner Megan Gross, a special education teacher, eventually became a finalist for National Teacher of the Year. Lantsberger was named one of the district’s three Teachers of the Year in March, along with Susan Michelena, a social studies teacher at Rancho Bernardo High School and Keith Opstad, an art teacher at Westview High School. Lantsberger is a 20-year teaching veteran who develops his curriculum from scratch, according to a press release. His Computer Club students developed an app that was recognized by Apple and he also advises a “Girls in Computing” club to encourage more young women to pursue computer science. In addition to coding,

Lantsberger incorporates current social and ethical topics related to computer science and computing into his classes. He is known for his unique appearance, which includes a Mohawk hairstyle and piercings, which he said he uses to encourage his students and fellow educators to think outside the box in their approach to learning, according to a press release. One of Lantsberger’s greatest achievements, according to a press release, is the long-term mentoring relationships he has developed with his students into adulthood. Some of his former students now work at Microsoft, Amazon and Google and some are CEOs of their own software companies.

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway 4-H club is looking for new members. The club, which accepts boys and girls who will be between ages 5 and 19 by Jan. 1, focuses on agricultural education including raising livestock, fishing, cooking and more. The club meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at Poway Community Park, 13094 Civic Center Drive. Poway 4-H has about 25 members, including parent volunteers, and is looking for more in order to expand its current projects and start new ones. “(4-H) isn’t as popular as it used to be,” said Deborah Katz, the group’s community leader. “We’re trying to get people aware that we’re still here and available.” Katz began volunteering with Poway 4-H 19 years ago, when her children were members. She has continued volunteering off-and-on ever since. “I started for my kids, but as time went on (Poway 4-H) needed a dairy goat leader,” Katz said. Groups generally meet monthly and are led by parent volunteers who have knowledge in the group’s subject. “Those groups can be on almost anything, not just animals and agriculture. If you have an idea, you’re allowed to make a group and run with it,” Katz said. Poway 4-H has groups for dairy goats, path goats and small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens), as well as a

market animal group (livestock grown for consumption, like pigs), a dog group and a fishing group. Katz said a horse group and a gardening group are being considered as well. Past groups available in the Poway 4-H have included cooking, sewing, computer skills, photography and life skills, like balancing a checkbook and basic auto maintenance. Members of 4-H can be in more than one group at a time. In addition to meetings, the group also participates in community service events, fairs, 4-H sponsored events and “hang-out” days where the entire group does activities together. Poway 4-H recently participated in the Poway Days Parade and a back-to-school night. Members will also participate at the Poway Rodeo. Katz said that those wishing to participate in the animal groups do not need to own an animal to join. “You can just come to learn about animals,” she said. In addition to learning about the group’s focus, Katz said participating in 4-H also teaches children about interacting with people, both in public speaking and getting along with multiple age groups. “It’s a really positive environment. I wouldn’t still be doing it if I wasn’t so passionate about it. It’s so worth it.” For details on Poway 4-H, visit poway4h.com or email poway4hclub@gmail.com.

Broncos to crown their homecoming royalty on Friday RB planners to vote BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardo High will crown its new homecoming royalty during halftime of Friday night’s varsity football game. The Broncos will be playing against the Sundevils of Mt. Carmel High School. The game starts at 7 p.m. in the campus stadium, 13010 Paseo Lucido. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors (60-plus) and free for students with a RBHS ASB card and children under 5. Before crowning the royalty and introducing the homecoming court, the class float parade will take place during halftime. This year’s homecoming theme is “Music Through the Ages.” Throughout the week students have been dressing up according to the theme. Monday was disco day, while country was selected for Tuesday. Wednesday they wore hip hop attire and Thursday donned rock ‘n roll outfits. Friday will be Bronco Blue Day, featuring T-shirts that were given to every student, according to ASB Director Terri Rogelstad. Other activities include an assembly on Friday with the court members participating in a skit and a dance on Saturday night. A new tradition, also occurring at other Poway Unified campuses, will be part of RB High’s homecoming festivities. Instead of crowning a king and queen from among the senior

Back row, freshmen Nina Stone and Lauren Blakeley, sophomores Bella Theus and Dylan O’Brien, and juniors Sydney Roberts and Dallin Dunn. candidates, the two seniors who receive the most student votes, regardless of gender, will be crowned “homecoming royalty,” Rogelstad said. All other nominated students are members of the homecoming court, with the titles of prince and princess also discontinued. This year’s homecoming court

members are seniors Gem Bardiago, Jessica Malone, Taylor Mitchell, Walt Oliver, Nick Siedenburg, Brandon Talansky, Hunter Tate and Lesley Valenzuela; juniors Dallin Dunn and Sydney Roberts; sophomores Dylan O’Brien and Bella Theus; and freshmen Lauren Blakeley and Nina Stone.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Short-term rentals will be among topics Rancho Bernardo Planning Board members will discuss at tonight’s (Thursday’s) meeting. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Bernardo Heights Community Center, 16150 Bernardo Heights Parkway. The agenda includes a vote on City Councilwoman Barbara Bry’s proposal for short-term rentals in San Diego that would require homeowners in residential zones to get a permit if renting out their full home. The permit would allow rentals for fewer than 30 days at a time, up to 90 days total per year. The home must be the permit applicant’s primary residence. In addition, those wanting to do short-term room rentals — home-sharing — would need a permit to host guests year-round without restrictions, but the home must also be the homeowners’ primary residence. The board is also to vote on a proposal to establish Community Choice Energy (aka Community Choice Aggregation) in the city. It is a program that lets cities, counties and other authorized entities to purchase and/or generate electricity for residents and businesses within their jurisdiction. The proposed state Senate Bill 649 will also be discussed and the board will vote on whether to take a position. The bill proposes requiring cities to permit wireless and small cell telecommunications facilities through a ministerial process, which would mean no required public review. The board has several vacant seats, in Districts B (includes Eastview and Greens West), C (Oaks North), D (includes Alameda, Gatewood and The Trails), E (Seven Oaks) and F (Bernardo Heights). Residents interested in being appointed need to present themselves to the board and attend a meeting. The full agenda is posted at RBPlanningBoard.com.

FROM DANCING, A1 uniforms. “It is so awesome for (my dancers) to work with their teachers, switching roles,” said RBHS Dance Director Michelle Jacoby. “It is a good role reversal.” Jacoby said some of the varsity level dancers have been studying dance since age 2, so they are the “experts” while the teachers are placed in the student role, an experience she said provides them with a good reminder of how it feels to be learning — and perhaps struggling — to succeed in doing something new. Dance styles will include musical theater, jazz, hip hop, jazz funk and breakdancing. Only a few competitors have some dance or performance experience or competed in previous versions since “Dancing With the Teachers” began in the 2012-13 school year, Jacoby said. Among returnees is Mindy Bailey-Bradshaw, who won the first year, but saw Principal Dave LeMaster capture the second and third teacher titles. Bailey-Bradshaw said there is “a little bit” of wanting to recapture the title motivating her, but she really entered “all for fun.” She will be performing a comedic hip hop routine to a music mix that includes the “SpongeBob” theme song. “It is challenging and takes me out of my comfort zone,” Bailey-Bradshaw said. She was a gymnast and SDSU cheerleader, but did not study dance when younger. First-time entrant Bryce Guzzetta said he has limited dance experience, gained while performing in musicals. “I’m a big proponent of the arts, playing piano, sax and singing. ... It’s a great

FROM ATTORNEY, A1

opportunity to do arts stuff with the students,” Guzzetta said. He will do a jazz dance to “Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag” from the musical “Chicago.” “It’s been really great ... interesting to give students that kind of responsibility,” he said. “I listen to them, their instructions, they are very talented dancers. ... It’s been a really fun opportunity working with the students. ... The more you can learn from the student perspective, you can understand how to reach (your students) as a teacher.” Kurt Trecker is a returning competitor who will dance to a three-song Michael Jackson mashup. “I’m a big Michael Jackson fan from the ‘80s,” he said. “There is good choreography ... planned for us. During our (first) two practices I’ve been blown away by how they can nail this stuff, making it look natural and easy, while I’m just a total goof.” Trecker said the positive comments he gets during the dance lessons have made him realize that maybe he needs to praise his students’ efforts more when they accomplish a difficult task in the classroom. Sophomore Jenna Waller said working with the teachers has been very different from when she taught three boys in her class for last year’s “Dancing With the Broncos.” The teachers approach the lessons more seriously and practice at home she said, adding it was “a little awkward” at first to teach a teacher, but it has become “a cool learning experience.” Senior Chase Kornacki said she has “gained a new respect” for what her teachers go through to educate students. “I have learned how difficult it is to be a teacher,” she said, adding “It’s really interesting to be ... in their shoes.”

campaign path,” she said. “It is a cerebral role, so people were not used to (the idea) of a woman (as city attorney). ... But I’ve learned that every time you break the (glass) ceiling it makes it a little easier for the next (woman). “It takes time for people to change the way they see individuals,” she said. “My skin was thick when (the campaign) started, but is a whole lot thicker now.” Since there are only two citywide elected positions — mayor and city attorney — Elliott said it is “an extremely powerful position” especially because of the responsibilities it entails. These include advising the mayor and city councilmembers on current and proposed laws and weighing in on multi-million dollar endeavors, such as the convention center expansion. Lawyers on her staff have to defend the city when there are lawsuits like injuries due to falling trees, trash trucks running over someone or allegations of excessive force by police officers. Making sure taxpayer money is used wisely, including contracts, is also important as is reviewing ballot initiatives like SoccerCity’s 3,028-page document. “The average voter will not read that, so we must address the issues and explain them so a layperson can understand,” she said. “I will not tell you how to vote, but will try to get the best deal for you as San Diegans.” While the district attorney’s office prosecutes those accused of felonies, it is the city attorney’s office that prosecutes misdemeanor cases like petty theft, quality of life and nuisance cases, she said. Elliott also has to serve as mediator between the mayor (who under the strong mayor system is the city’s administrator) and city council (the policy makers). “I have a lot of objectives to accomplish,” Elliott said. Among these are a way to get the “frequent customers” as she called those repeatedly prosecuted

for misdemeanors — up to 50 times — into programs that can address the root problems. “It fiscally makes sense to find solutions to get to the bottom of the problem,” Elliott said. “Why is this happening? Drugs? Alcohol? They must want to do the right thing and get on track.” Her solution, which incorporates help from other agencies, is the San Diego Misdemeanor At Risk Tracking (SMART) Program. Ten people going through the program costs around $98,000, much less than the more than $400,000 it is costs the city to repeatedly prosecute them. A recent $3 million state grant will help the program expand, she said. Other priorities include protecting the elderly and making sure they can “live a dignified life and are not taken advantage of” and establishing protocols and unified response for dealing with those suffering memory loss. She said 65,000 San Diegans have Alzheimer’s disease and often live alone. She mentioned a recent case of a man who shot his wife due to his declining mental state. “How do you remove a gun from a home from a good gun owner at some point, but who has started to slip?” she asked. She said there are often barriers for law enforcement to discover the truth due to medical privacy and they need ways to deal with crime victims who were good witnesses initially, but due to declining memory are not by the time cases go to trial. Elliott called District Attorney Summer Stephan her partner in these efforts. Revamping the Family Justice Center is another of her goals, wanting it to revert back to the city attorney’s domain after being part of the police department. Elliott said it needs to be a one-stop shop for domestic violence victims to get help, including legal, medical, counseling and job assistance. Other changes, such as expediting restraining orders, are also needed, she said. “We need to prevent sending (victims) all over town to get services,” she said.

OPINION

www.pomeradonews.com

GUEST COLUMN

Extreme right, left have similarities BY DAVID EPSTEIN ast month’s riot and murder in Charlottesville demonstrated the resilience of hate and the incompetence of the local authorities. Most of the discussion since then has demonstrated a lack of understanding of what those events could portend for the future. The Nazi/KKK cabal called on followers nationwide to show up in Charlottesville. They managed to gather 500 losers. Several thousand counter demonstrators also showed up. There were about 500 police officers on the scene who should have been able to control the Nazis, and their counter demonstrators, without breaking a sweat. I speak from experience. The police were prevented from doing so by their political masters. There is a long and continuous history of Nazis and racists targeting Jews and African Americans. Shooting attacks against Jews in recent years have occurred in Los Angeles, Kansas City and Washington, D.C. A plot by two white supremacists to blow up the U.S. Holocaust Museum with a fertilizer bomb was thwarted in 2002. Nine black church parishioners were recently killed by a white supremacist easily capable of being an SS murder squad member, circa 1933-1945. So yes, there are dangerous people out there who fit the definition of “fascist” rather well. The groups labeling themselves “anti-fascist” or “antifa” are by no means defenders of the Constitution in general, free-speech in particular or advocates against violence. They have rioted in Seattle, Portland and Berkeley, beating up people, setting fires, vandalizing stores and banks and attacking police. It's only a matter of time before they, too, kill someone. They have targeted speakers on college campuses who support Israel, the police or American capitalism. They have prevented such speakers from appearing and have intimidated professors whose courses they oppose. The actions of the Nazis in Charlottesville duplicated those of the Nazis in Weimar, Germany. Torchlight marches by people shouting threats to Jews have been seen before. Of course, our institutions of governance are incomparably stronger than those of 1918-1933 Germany. But a word of warning is in order. The deficit is growing, entitlements are out of control and the educational system is producing functional illiterates in the methods of American governance and the history of the nation. President Trump has been called a racist. While he failed miserably in not coming out unequivocally and forcefully against the Nazis and supremacists after Charlottesville, and while some of his comments on the campaign trail encouraged the violent among us, he is no racist. His favorite child and three of his grandchildren are Jewish, as are some of his closest business associates. But he is in way over his head in the business of being president. He obviously is not well read and while his rejection of support by such creatures as David Duke was also late and weak, that is as close as he has come to even a faint breath of endorsing what Duke stands for. The extreme right and left stand next to each other in method and goals. There is nothing to choose between the two. Both must be fought and SEE SIMILARITIES, A19

OUR READERS WRITE Don’t boycott NFL I am a big Dick Lyles fan and fully agree with the sentiments he expressed in his Sept. 7 column concerning the National Football League and its handling of the multi-millionaire football players who disrespect our flag and country. Some of these individuals only have a God-given talent to excel in football. However, I do not agree with Dick’s decision to boycott the NFL. Many NFL players are solid citizens who appreciate what America stands for. Many give back with money and personal time to support the welfare for the needy. Dick raised other issues, such as player brain damage. The NFL should do everything reasonable to protect the players, but it reminds me of the smokers who continue to smoke even though it has been proven that cigarettes cause cancer. The players know there is a risk with every play, but fame, glory and money has a way of changing one’s outlook. I know how difficult it was for Dick to walk away from a game he very much enjoys. Sports is a common denominator that binds many of us. It’s a shame some of it is tainted, but I will not allow a small minority of miscreants to take the game away from me. Tom Yarnall Poway

Golf course in peril It is unfortunate that the StoneRidge Country Club is under hostile management. The swimming pool, once home to several swim teama and water polo clubs, has been permanently closed. If the

referendum to authorize construction of condos on the golf course property passes this fall, the tennis courts and driving range will be demolished. Make no mistake, if Martincoit Road is ever expanded to Tam-O-Shanter Drive the entire golf course will be developed. In-filling housing will replace the tranquil, beautiful open space. Once it is gone it will be gone forever. Mark Ackerman Poway

Anger over DACA misplaced I think Dreamers should stay. However, I also believe the anger aimed at President Trump over DACA is misplaced. Rather, we should be upset with Congress for its impotence regarding immigration, and just about any other important issue facing the country. If insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly, but expecting a different result, we voters are certifiably loco. We send the same do nothing, money wasting, re-election focused lawmakers back time and time again. Anyone remember the last defense budget? And when they do pass a law, odds are it doesn’t apply to them. Regarding DACA, even President Obama said it was temporary and there have always been questions about its legality. I believe he and President Trump acted out of frustration, hoping their actions would incite movement from Congress. Fat chance. Amazingly, it’s made people already angry with the president even angrier. First, a Russian in every SEE LETTERS, A19

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

The curse of invincible ignorance

umerous times during my lifetime I’ve witnessed the axiom that, quite often, ignorance can be bliss. Most often we see it among children playing some dangerous game amidst the blissful ignorance of the nasty consequences they might accrue through an accidental misstep. Far too often among adults we see instances of “impaired ignorance” when otherwise competent people choose to drive when drunk. More recently though, I’ve become more attuned to a broader curse in the American culture that, although not new, has reached epidemic proportions. It is the curse of invincible ignorance. Invincible ignorance is demonstrated when someone refuses to believe or accept the argument of another while ignoring any evidence offered in support of the argument. It’s like saying, “I know what I want to believe, so don’t try to confuse me with the facts.” It is a refusal to argue or debate in the proper sense of the word. Accompanying this attitude of invincible ignorance is another trait called argumentum ad lapidem, which is Latin for

“appeal to the stone.” It happens when a person dismisses a claim as absurd without giving proof of its absurdity. Ad lapidem statements fail to address the merits of the claim in dispute. Consider this example. One person claims, “States that allow concealed carry have lower crime rates than those that don’t.” Another person responds, “That’s ridiculous!” The first person says, “Why is that so?” The respondent replies, “It’s obviously ridiculous.” The second person offered no evidence or logic, yet still rebuts the claim of the first. The American psyche has shifted during the past decade because many people have adopted the attitude that their assumptions and beliefs about the world are invincible, so there is no need to consider other facts or information that might challenge their world view. People who are more kind tend to see people who hold different views as ignorant, lazy or uninformed. Those who are less kind tend to see those who differ as fascist, racist or hopelessly bigoted. The person with different opinions is rarely shown the respect that their view might be worthy of consideration.

Americans across the political spectrum, and in every sector, have become entrenched in their bastions of invincible ignorance. Although invincible ignorance was once seen as the scourge of higher education, it has now become its hallmark. Invincible ignorance is the most causal factor fueling the battle to stifle free speech on college campuses across America. University elites no longer seek open and spirited debate about the issues of the day. Indeed, in their minds they already know all the answers. To hell with evidence, ideas or facts that might take them to higher plateaus of understanding. Invincible ignorance has killed productive debate on both sides of the aisle in the political arena. The governing elites are stagnant because they can’t break free from their personal prisons of self-imposed certainty to discern the correct realities of today’s world. This precludes them from leading America forward. A prime example is healthcare reform. Everyone in Washington thinks they know what is best for America, yet no one is doing the right thing. All the while, America suffers. This problem has so permeated our culture that we no longer see it as an aberration, even when it appears at its most extreme. Consider Hillary Clinton’s recent book, written from a perspective where everyone is wrong but her. It is time for all Americans to pause a moment, take a deep breath and jump back into the vast sea of open mindedness that once nurtured the seeds most responsible for America’s magnificence, starting with ourselves. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

FROM SIMILARITIES, A18 diminished in power. But the Nazi/KKK threat is negligible as a political movement and force though they will continue to kill when they can. With only 500 showing up for a national muster, they ain't much. Years ago, when I was a police chief in the Deep South, a joke went around about the KKK (I've cleaned it up a bit). Three Klansmen meet at midnight. Two are police informers and the other is a damn fool. Meanwhile, the violent left is growing. They can control who speaks on many college campuses and they have also demonstrated that they can influence what is taught there. They have taken over city streets and they have no problem attacking the police. The old Klan joke needs to apply to them too and the sooner the better. A Rancho Bernardo resident, Epstein served as police chief in Savannah, Georgia from 1975 to 1980.

FROM LETTERS, A18 voting booth, next a white supremacist under every bed sheet and now, an ICE agent in every college dormitory. And lawsuits that will cost taxpayers millions. How does Janet Napolitano even have a job, let alone the wherewithal to file suit? Ironically, it was the anger generated by Congress’ litany of inaction and failure that opened the door for President Trump’s election. It’s on us though, because we put them there. A first step is to view compromise as a good thing. Stop “primarying” anyone who veers from rigid party orthodoxy, Democrat or Republican. Tom Drzewiecki Poway

RB author to lead free children’s activities on Saturday Her books were inspired by a family tradition BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A family gift-giving tradition has served as the inspiration for a series of children’s adventure books written by a Rancho Bernardo resident. Nancy Myles will talk about the first three books in her “Rondi’s Virtual Adventure” series and lead free “thinking outside of the box” activities for children at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 23 in the Rancho Bernardo Library’s second-floor community room, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. During the hour-long event, Myles said the activities will require children to use their higher-level thinking skills, include fast-paced and challenging brain games and sharpen their problem-solving abilities. The event is geared toward children in second to fifth grade. Myles is the enrichment/GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) teacher at Turtleback Elementary in Rancho Bernardo, where for 17 years she has taught children how to use their thinking abilities to solve puzzles and problems. For many years she has also coached students in the Future Problem Solving Program, with several of her students advancing to international competitions. Such skills are among those her book series’ main character, a 10-year-old girl named Rondi Thinger, uses as she encounters inhabitants living in a kingdom

created by her cousins as part of a virtual reality game. Present-day time stands still while several days or years pass when Rondi time-travels to solve problems in the fictional world known as The EDGE. Myles said the first book, “The Spell,” was written as a final story gift for her niece, Michelle Sandroff, who was turning 12. For years, Myles has created story binders to celebrate the birthdays of young family members. Each year the birthday child has received a story written for him or her that included Myles’ illustrations. “Some were pretty cute,” Myles said. But knowing her niece was soon to enter her teen years, Myles said she figured the tradition was coming to an end for Michelle. To mark its conclusion, she wrote her a 100-page story about a girl named Rondi in 2004. That book also inspired a sequel, “The Message,” in which Rondi returns to The EDGE to help the people in that kingdom once again. “When I wrote them, I had the goal of writing a kid’s book (someday),” Myles said. “It made me feel terrific to have accomplished one of my goals.” Myles said she tried back then to see if her books could be published, but never got more than “a few nibbles,” from agents and publishers. Recently, a nephew suggested she revisit the idea of publishing her books since self-publishing has become common. Myles had written a third

Rancho Bernardo resident Nancy Myles with the three children’s adventure books she wrote. They were inspired by a gift she made for her niece. adventure for Rondi, “The Search,” in 2015. “For my birthday, my daughters published the books for me, and asked family and friends to illustrate them,” Myles said. “I liked the concept of my family and friends doing the pictures, who are (ages) 7 to 70.” Seeing her stories in book form has been very exciting for Myles. “I have had the highest highs from this,”

she said. “I am quite introverted, but my friends don’t think that (now that) the books have come out. I can’t stop talking due to excitement. ... Seeing them in print is an adventure.” The experience has led Myles to write a fourth book, called “The Quests,” which should be published within a month, she said. The first two books in Rondi’s Virtual Adventure series — “The Spell” and “The Message” — are $5.99 each for a paperback. The third book — “The Search” — is $6.99. All are available through Amazon. Myles said she will also have copies available at Saturday’s RB Library event, selling each for $5.

Because I Said So BY WENDY FAUCETT

Who’s a bully?

chool is in session across America, and that means a renewed effort to eradicate bullies from playgrounds and classrooms. In fact, October is designated as “National Bullying Prevention Month.” According to Merriam-Webster, a bully is “one who is habitually cruel, insulting, or threatening to others who are weaker, smaller or in some way vulnerable.” Let’s examine that definition and see how it holds up to the current cultural zeitgeist. The most important adverb in the description is “habitually.” It is also the word most ignored by school administrators, teachers, counselors, psychologists and parents alike. On the website stopbullying.gov the word “bullying” is defined as “unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as

making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally and excluding someone from a group on purpose.” Similarly, the California Department of Education Code defines bullying as “any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct, including communications made in writing or by means of an electronic act, and including one or more acts committed by a pupil or group of pupils.” Compare the definitions and you’ll see that as feelings have superseded facts, common sense, reason and logic as the place from which decision makers begin their policy forming research and debate procedure, the straight up dictionary definition has morphed into the touchy-feely government description. All 50 states have anti-bullying laws and those laws require school districts to develop policies, and in many states programs, to combat bullying. The statistics vary on whether these policies and programs are effective, and the

focus on eliminating bullies remains. Real bullying is a real problem for all involved. Real bullying involves intent, is often premeditated and is ongoing. It must be met with zero tolerance and memorable consequences. School administrators need to stand up to the parents of bullies (who are frequently bullies themselves) and hold the perpetrators accountable. But I would argue that the definition has been through so many permutations that it no longer applies. These days it seems that simply disagreeing with someone, or even sincerely trying to be helpful, can evoke the bully label. I was called a bully by the parent of a student who, after forgetting an obligation to the class for the umpteenth time, called me a bully because I gave her a pack of sticky notes with the gentle suggestion that she use them to help remember what she needed to do. The truth is that children aren’t always nice. Teenagers certainly aren’t always nice. Younger children are learning the power of language and the variations and surprises inherent in social relationships. To some degree, most children will test the limits of the people and places around them. Essentially, children are self-absorbed and uncivilized until the adults who love, teach and care for them train them to be otherwise. When your sweet child comes home in tears one day and says that the mean girl in her class is a bully because she called her an ugly name, you have a

golden opportunity to teach her that 1) people, even friends, aren’t always kind and 2) she can live through the sadness and become a better person because of it. You have a chance to repeat the importance of the Golden Rule, and to encourage your child to always be kind. Conversely, if the name-calling continues and escalates, if it becomes a cloud that follows your child around, it’s your obligation to call attention and put a stop to it, whatever that takes. Be on the lookout for the signs your child is being bullied such as a distinct change in mood, sleep habits, appetite, energy or enthusiasm. Additionally, a child who doesn’t want to go to school anymore, comes home with broken or missing belongings, or is generally acting out of sorts may be reacting to a school bully. If, as policy and program funding indicates, bullying is on the rise and children are exhibiting more sociopathic behavior than ever before, maybe it’s in part due to the large number of parents who enable, entitle and indulge their children, giving the school and community an overgrown toddler who’s been told that he’s all that and more. Maybe if parents instill a sense of humility, respect and service into their children from the start, bullying (as it’s defined today) will diminish. I’d say it’s worth a try.

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

Broncos, Nighthawks should be strong Poway has depth, but lacks experience BY TERRY MONAHAN Rancho Bernardo and Del Norte both return the top two runners from last season in hopes of contending for another San Diego Section girls cross country championship. Ali Harper, who finished third in last year’s San Diego Section championships, is back for her senior year at Rancho Bernardo. Softball player Allison Boaz, a junior, is back as the No. 2 runner for the Broncos. Del Norte graduated just one senior and return its 1-2-3-4-6 and 7 runners from last year’s lineup, led by seniors Hannah Zheng, who was third in the Palomar League finals, and Isabelle Davis. Poway brings back five sophomores who all competed on varsity, including Katie Downs, who qualified for the state championships in Fresno. Here is a closer look at the local teams: DEL NORTE COACH: Chris Jacobs DIVISION: II KEY PLAYERS: Hannah Zheng, Isabelle Davis, Dana Golich, Jenna Kim, Morgan White, Alie Short, Karlie Hayes, Kelsey White, Mettie Utter.

OUTLOOK: The Nighthawks lived by pack running last year. It will be the same format this year behind Zheng and Davis. Golich, Kim, White and Short are all sophomores in search of depth points at meets. Three injured runners are also back. Hayes (tore knee ligament), Kelsey White (appendix) and Utter (torn meniscus in knee) bolster the team’s outlook. “I’ve got a ton of depth,’’ Jacobs said. “We needed that depth last year but we couldn’t seem to close that gap. I think we will this year.’’ POWAY COACH: Bruce Jackson DIVISION: II KEY PLAYERS: Eva Rethmeier, Katie Downs, Sarah Chittle, Arielle Johnson, Lyndsey Umsted. OUTLOOK: Depth won’t be a problem for the Titans as the top five returners are back and they’re all only in 10th grade. Rethmeier, Downs, Chittle, Johnson and Umsted form a good run at depth points. All ran in CIF Finals. “They’ve improved a lot over the summer,’’ Jackson said. “They saw what the boys had to do to accomplish what they did last year (winning Division II section title) and they’ve SEE GIRLS, B3

BY TERRY MONAHAN Following a 39-13 win over Holtville last Saturday, Maranatha Christian has a chance to extend its winning streak to 4-0 to start a football season for the first time since 2011. The Eagles take on Classical Academy in hopes of winning a fourth consecutive game and match the second-best start in school history. Maranatha went 10-0 back in 2008. Poway, Rancho Bernardo and Del Norte are all trying to bounce back from losses last week slow starts this season. Here is a closer look at this week’s games: Mt. Carmel (1-3, 1-0) at Rancho Bernardo (0-4, 0-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Mt. Carmel defeated Vista 7-0; Ramona defeated Rancho Bernardo 28-0. Notes: Rancho Bernardo, which has won the last four meetings against Mt. Carmel, holds a 16-9 lead in the series. Rancho Bernardo QB Christian Lewis has passed for 583 yards and two TDs but also has five interceptions. With a five-game losing streak, the Broncos need to rekindle their running game with just 367 rushing yards this season for 950 total yards thus far. The Sundevils boast of a pair of quality pass rushers in Ty Virgin (five sacks) and Kevin Rowe (four sacks). Prediction: Rancho Bernardo 21, Mt. Carmel 20 Poway (1-3, 0-0) at Del Norte (1-3, 0-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Poway lost to La Costa Canyon 35-7; Del Norte lost to Westview 34-7. Notes: Poway won the initial meeting last year by an overwhelming 51-6 score. The Titans are looking to snap a three-game losing skid against a Nighthawk team that has scored just 37 points this year while giving up 165. Poway has scored 100 points and given up 134.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY

Poway rebuilding from last year’s title run BY TERRY MONAHAN Poway captured last season’s San Diego Section Division II championship, the first one for the Titans in seven years. But all seven runners who reached that goal, as well as qualifying for the state championships for a second consecutive time, have graduated. When Coach Bruce Jackson said he lost everyone, he really did lose everyone. “We’re not dead,’’ Jackson said. “Poway does not rebuild. We reload. It’s just that all our runners are new. “The kids are kind of mad that people think Poway has nothing because everyone left. These kids are good runners. “For the last two years, we knew what we were getting every day. It’s kind of like roulette this year because we’re just so young.’’ Here is a closer look at the local boys teams: DEL NORTE COACH: Chris Jacobs DIVISION: II KEY PLAYERS: Zev Feidelberg, Jaron Farnam, Jake Kim, Andrew Varvara, Nick Romney, David Barajas. OUTLOOK: The Nighthawks return Zeidelberg, a sophomore, and Farnham, a senior, after being No. 1 and 2 last season, respectively. Seniors Kim and Varvara shifted between No. 5 and No. 6 last season. The depth will come from Romney, a junior, and Barajas, a junior who transferred in from Washington. FROM GIRLS, B1

“In (the Palomar League) we could chase Mt. Carmel,’’ Jacobs said. “We have a chance. Poway lost all its guys, so it’s all about Mt. Carmel for us. To get close enough we have to get performances from 5-6-7 to be a factor.’’ There are a batch of sophomore newcomers who could form that hunt for depth points in matches. POWAY COACH: Bruce Jackson DIVISION: II KEY PLAYERS: Alejandro Barranco, Zak Beckwith, Josh Ligas, Luke Shuler, Dario Stadler. OUTLOOK: Beckwith, a sophomore, was the team’s No. 8 runner last year and has bolted up to No. 2 this year behind Barranco, also a sophomore, who did not run last year but set a course record at the Vaquero Stampede already this year. Ligas, a sophomore, Shuler, a senior, and Stadler, a freshman from Switzerland who will be at Poway just one year, have brightened Jackson’s outlook for the season. “We have the next man up philosophy at Poway,’’ Jackson said. “We want to have multiple links on the chain. The more guys we place, the better our team score will be.’’ RANCHO BERNARDO COACH: John Colson DIVISION: I KEY PLAYERS: Bobby Santos, Ben Siminski, Bradley Pickard, Luis Barron, Yung-yi Sun, Ashtin Brantley.

copied their approach.’’

people in single-digit spots as we can. The last time we won CIF (2004) we had seven runners in the top 20.’’

RANCHO BERNARDO COACH: Terry Dockery DIVISION: I KEY PLAYERS: Ali Harper, Allison Boaz, Alyssa Tivadar, Vicky Dinov, Imogen Bleakey, Ashley Learn. OUTLOOK: Besides Harper and Boaz, the Broncos will rely on Tivadar, a senior, and Dinov, a sophomore who is now fully recovered from a shin injury last cross country season, and Bleakey, a senior, to pile up points. The next few spots are being contested six others, including Learn, a talented freshman. “We have no superstars, but we have to solid leaders and 10-11 girls vying for those next spots behind them,’’ Dockery said. “We’re looking for the low stick, trying to get as many

MARANATHA CHRISTIAN COACH: Peter Gregory DIVISION: V KEY PLAYERS: Andy Burns, Leianna Rodidles, Isabelle Monroy, Amanda Corey, Grace Barnard. OUTLOOK: Burns, who was the top runner on the team last year as a junior, is back to lead the Eagles along with Rodidles, also a senior. Burns and Rodidles will probably be No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Monroy, a freshman, has emerged as the team’s No. 1 runners this season with Corey, a sophomore, hanging onto No. 2. Barnard, a senior, will start the year at No. 5. “We’re a dark horse team in our (Pacific League),’’ said Gregory. “Our top four runners have lots of experience.’’

OUTLOOK: This is a rebuilding year for the Broncos, who have a pair of seniors in Santos and Siminski back to lead the way. Pickard, a senior, is up from the JV to add depth along with Barron, a sophomore, and Sun, a sophomore who did not run cross country last year but was one of the best 800-meter runners during track season last spring. Brantley, a senior, found a boost of confidence in the high jump pit last spring during track season. MARANATHA CHRISTIAN COACH: Peter Gregory DIVISION: V KEY PLAYERS: Riley Burns, Justin Gray, J.D. Stout, Daniel Hoefer, Mateo Reyes, Ethan Yu, Jake Morales, Nathan Self. OUTLOOK: Burns, a sophomore who was seventh at CIF Finals Division V last year, served notice by winning this year’s Wolf Pack Invitational. Gray, a senior, was 20th last year while Stout, a junior, placed in the top 50 at CIF. Three freshmen - Hoefer, Reyes and Morales, a transfer from Horizon - join Yu, a sophomore, in search of depth points this year as the Eagles try to improve on last year’s fourth-place finish in the section finals. “We might have enough depth points for our (Pacific League) cluster meets,’’ Gregory said. “We really don’t have any question marks now, but we’re still developing. We have a strong front four but we need to solidify our 5-6-7 finishers.’’

PowPAC’s ‘Quartet’ presents a sentimental look at aging considering PowPAC’s stage limitations — it is a small, intimate space without even a curtain — what the volunteers accomplish is even more impressive. This is PowPAC’s most ambitious set in recent years due to the total transformation during intermission. Typically its set undergoes minimal, if any, changes, but Savage — who designed it — completely overhauls it. Without a stage curtain, attendees who remained in the theater during intermission saw walls come down and stage completely transform. It gave a “backstage” look at set construction that was interesting to watch. As impressive as this was, there was one drawback to the additional set change that occurred halfway through Act II. Unlike the intermission switch, this one was too much for PowPAC’s crew to take on. To do successfully, it required additional stagehands who could have quickly put the components in place. The few minutes lull in the action it caused was unfortunate since Act II is much more interesting than Act I, but the set change brought the momentum to a sudden halt. “Quartet” can be seen at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays plus 2 p.m. on Sundays through Oct. 15 at PowPAC, Poway’s Community Theatre, 13250 Poway Road in the Lively Center. Those wishing to avoid the stairs can access the elevator in back. Tickets are $22 for general admission; $20 for seniors, students and active military; and $18 for groups of 10 or more. Purchase at powpac.org or contact the box office at 858-679-8085 or boxoffice@powpac.org. Parking is free.

REVIEW

COURTESY PHOTO

Paul-David Halem, Dianne Gray, Kate Hewitt and Geoffrey Graham star in “Quartet,” playing at PowPAC through Oct. 15. four of them displayed last Saturday night gave the impression they have worked together for years, much like their opera star personas. Each actor fully embraced his or her character’s nuances and personality. Cecily is a bit paranoid and has memory problems (Gray does a good job with portraying her nervous fidgeting and shrinking demeanor), while Jean is in full-on diva mode (the icy glares Hewitt gives out when refusing to cooperate and contain her anger issues are just an example). Wilfred comes across as a dirty old man with all of his sexual jokes and commentary most often aimed at the sometimes oblivious Cecily (Halem seemed to fully enjoy the rascally part), while Reginald is rather academic and a bit haughty (Graham successfully portrayed the airs).

Director Gil Savage did a good job in bringing the show together. According to his notes in the program, “There are distinct differences between the play and the film, including the ending ... But if you loved the film, you will feel right at home with our production. The zingers and the histrionics are intact. The hope and courage are unchanged. The great spirit and fierce love of fabulous music are whole.” Throughout the show recorded opera music is played, which helps set the mood and is pivotal at the show’s conclusion. It also is used to help fill the gaps during set changes. In terms of the set, PowPAC’s all-volunteer set design and construction crew typically goes all-out, creating scenery more elaborate than that often seen in professional shows. Especially

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK PowPAC’s presentation of “Quartet” is a sweet, if sentimental, commentary on aging that has just enough spice among its four actors to show that retirees still have lots to offer if they just embrace opportunities that arise. The play by Ronald Harwood, that was adapted into a 2012 film, focuses on former opera stars Cecily Robson (Dianne Gray), Wilfred Bond (Paul-David Halem), Reginald Paget (Geoffrey Graham) and Jean Horton (Kate Hewitt). The first three are already living at Beecham House, a retirement home for opera singers in Kent, England, while Jean — who had a brief, unhappy marriage with Reginald — has just moved in, much to Reginald’s dismay. To mark the upcoming birthday of composer Giuseppe Verdi, the retirement home is putting on a concert gala in which Cecily, Wilfred and Reginald plan to perform. With Jean’s arrival they have the opportunity to recreate the third act quartet “Bella figlia dell’amore” from Verdi’s opera “Rigoletto,” but Jean has not sung since unexpectedly taking an early retirement from the opera world decades ago. Jean is angry that she has to now live in a retirement community among her opera peers, so the other three convincing her to join them in singing at the gala is no easy task. Graham and Hewitt have appeared before on the PowPAC stage, while Gray and Halem are newcomers. However, the natural rhythm the

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Rancho Bernardo Library’s chamber music concert series begins its new season on Sept. 27 with a performance by the Ardor Trio. The concert will start at 6:15 p.m. in the second floor community room of the library, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. It is free and open to the public, though donations are welcome. The concert series is sponsored by the Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library. This is not only the first concert in the season but the first concert for the Ardor Trio, who have performed together in various permeations for several years. Made up of Linda Piatt, Amanda Devlin and Robie Evans, the group came together in the spring. “Robie and I have been performing together for 15 years,” said Linda Piatt. “She and I have always had good chemistry together.” Piatt said she and Devlin have also performed together before, though they met more recently than she and Evans. “We decided that a trio would be great,” Piatt. “We have great chemistry and the size is so manageable.” The Ardor Trio will be performing works by Luigi Boccherini, Franz Schubert, Erno Dohnanyi and Astor Piazzolla at the concert. “We’re doing three big works that span three centuries,” Piatt said. Piatt called the piece by Boccherini “light, very frilly and with a lot of ornamentation.” The piece by Schubert, “Trio in B-major,” is a “sublime piece of work” and showcases the violin. The final big piece they will be performing is Dohnanyi’s “Serenade for String Trio,” which Piatt said is his most famous work and very accessible for the audience. “It’s very passionate sounding, a lot of really wonderful

Eggplant is a beloved nightshade throughout the lands, including the exquisite “aubergine” central to many French dishes, and the vibrant “melanzana“ incorporated in classic Italian fare. Leave the berry unpeeled as the skin has the greatest source of nutrients, but make sure it’s dark purple and glossy, without soft spots or bruises. Also, select eggplants with elongated “belly buttons” for the sweetest flesh, without bitter nuances. Fungi, the class of marvelous mushrooms once feared by mighty Roman emperors for their poisonous properties, are now treasured as an immune- boosting warrior with remarkable healing properties. Whether choosing beefy, buttery Portobellos, earthy, piney Shiitakes, rich woodsy Porcinis, or floral Chanterelles, make sure the caps and gills are free of moisture and mold, soft spots and blemishes. Stems should be soft, not straw-like. Take a whiff, and if you detect a foul odor, the ‘shrooms are spoiled. Grapes, nature’s portable refreshers should have a rich, jeweled color, whether green, red, purple, pink or black varieties. The berries themselves should be plumpish and firm, and strongly secured to a soft green stem. The presence of a white powdery substance called “bloom” is nature’s protective mechanism to ward off moisture that can cause mold, and is perfectly safe to eat. Heirloom tomatoes, so called because of their fine lineage with characteristics passed down from generations, including their gorgeous ugliness, divine Technicolors, patterns, and sweetness make them a rock star of the culinary world. When choosing

Here’s how to pick a winner in the produce aisle: Part 1

t’s always humorous watching fellow supermarket shoppers perform a series of ritualistic gestures as they grope, squeeze, sniff, knock, cradle, shake and rattle a piece of produce to hedge their bets for selecting a perfectly ripe one. Of course, to get the best out of fruits and vegetables always buy in season, local and organic, where possible. Remember that some items will ripen further after they’re picked (like avocados, stone fruits and tomatoes) while others will not ripen after picking no matter how much prodding (especially berries, citrus and watermelon). Here’s an A to Z produce primer on picking winners for all seasons: Apples, the fragrant forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, and autumn’s crisp little darlings, have been revered by ancient peoples for millennia. Since that time, 7,500 varieties grown worldwide have been pressed into juice, fermented into vinegar, pureed into sauces, and baked in pies, strudels and turnovers. Apples of all manners should be firm with solid heft, and free of bruises, soft spots, worm holes, puckering and wrinkling. Try to select ones with stems attached. Bananas, a portable potassium powerhouse, give a quick energy boost, ease nerves, reduce blood pressure, and amp up immunity. To tell the ripeness of a banana,

simply look at the colors and spots on its peel. Unripe ones are green-hued, containing more starch and less sugar than golden ripe ones, which are conversely sweeter and less starchy, since the ripening process converts the starch into natural sugars, such as fructose, glucose and sucrose. A smattering of brown spots on the peel are still fine for eating, yet black markings indicate bruising, and these should be discarded. Cucumbers are a refreshing reservoir of water and silica with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to hydrate and rejuvenate. Whether slicing, hothouse, Persian, or pickling varieties choose a dilly. Cukes should be firm without soft spots, blemishes or withering skin, and also have a good heavy feel for their size. Dandelion greens at their peak during spring months are a Herculean source of protein, calcium, iron, antioxidants and assorted minerals. This high-fiber leafy green adds a pungent nutritional oomph to salads, smoothies or sautéed sides. As these greens tend to be slightly bitter, they balance well with sweet, dense fruits like mangoes, figs, bananas and papayas. Usually sold in bunches, look for dark green leaves free of spots or blemishes. Smaller leaves also tend to be less bitter.

Easy Caprese ■ Ingredients: 3 assorted heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick; 1 pound, oval ball fresh or buffalo mozzarella, sliced 1/4-inch thick; 12 fresh basil leaves; 1/4 cup each virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or reduction ■ Method: On a large platter, arrange tomatoes and cheese in an alternating pattern. Scatter basil leaves, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and vinegar. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

heirlooms, please don’t squeeze these delicate fruits, rather use your olfactory and sniff for a deep fragrant aroma. The bottoms of heirlooms should also be a darker shade than the rest. — Check out next week’s column for the rest of the culinary alphabet.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9987-5127. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web

CLASSIFIEDS

information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Two ways to get your Medicare benefits BY GREG DILL At a family reunion last month, my Aunt Abby and Uncle Glen got into a squabble over the best way to get their Medicare benefits. Uncle Glen is an Original Medicare man, and has been for nearly a decade. Aunt Abby prefers Medicare Advantage, which is similar to a health plan she had before enrolling in Medicare last spring. When they turned to me, asking me to referee and declare which form of Medicare is better, I gave them a big smile and said, “Well, it depends.” Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage have different benefits and costs that you should consider based on your personal needs. So grab a cool drink and I’ll go over some of the differences. Medicare open enrollment season runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, and it’s a good idea to know how the two types of Medicare work before you select one. With Original Medicare, you can choose any doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider you want, as long as they accept Medicare. When you receive medical services or goods, Medicare pays the provider directly. About 70 percent of all people with Medicare have Original Medicare. The other way to get your benefits is Medicare Advantage, which is a form of managed care, like an HMO or PPO. Medicare Advantage is provided by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. If you’re in Medicare Advantage, you generally must go to

doctors and other providers in the company’s network. If you go outside the network, you may have to pay more. On the other hand, Medicare Advantage plans may offer some services – such as dental, hearing, vision, and prescription drug coverage – that Original Medicare doesn’t. Most people with Original Medicare pay a monthly premium. If you’re in Medicare Advantage, you may pay an additional monthly premium to the private insurer that covers you. With Original Medicare, you or your supplemental insurance must pay deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance. To cover these “gaps” in Medicare, some people buy a type of supplemental insurance called Medigap. If you have a Medigap policy, Medicare pays its share of the covered costs, and then your Medigap policy pays its share. Original Medicare doesn’t cover prescription drugs. If you want drug coverage, you can buy a Medicare Part D plan. Such plans are sold through private companies approved by Medicare. You have to pay an additional monthly premium for Part D. Medicare Advantage companies must cover all of the services that Original Medicare covers. (However, Original Medicare covers hospice care, some new Medicare benefits, and some costs for clinical research studies, even if you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan.) In all types of Medicare Advantage plans, you’re always covered for emergency and urgent care.

You can join a Medicare Advantage plan even if you have a pre existing condition - except for End-Stage Renal Disease. People with ESRD usually are covered through Original Medicare. Keep in mind that Medicare Advantage plans can charge different out-of-pocket amounts and have different rules for how you get service. For example, you may need a referral to see a specialist. And you may need to stay in the plan’s provider network, unless you’re willing to pay more to go outside the network. You should always check with the plan before you get a service to find out whether it’s covered and what your costs may be. If the plan decides to stop participating in Medicare, you’ll have to join another Medicare health plan or return to Original Medicare. How can you decide whether Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage is better for you? There’s a good comparison of Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage in the “Medicare & You” handbook. “Medicare & You” is mailed to all Medicare beneficiaries every fall. You can also find it online, at midicare.gov. If you have any questions, call Medicare’s toll-free number, 1-800-MEDICARE. Dill is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories. You can always get answers to your Medicare questions by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Multiple sports may mean fewer injuries TO YOUR HEALTH

sudoku

Kids who play sports can reap many benefits, including improved physical fitness, development of athletic skills, team-building and, of course, fun. Student athletes who excel at a sport may even qualify for college athletic scholarships, which may tempt both kids and their parents to focus on a single sport, such as soccer, football or baseball. However, some pediatricians and sports medicine experts believe that specializing in one sport may put young athletes at risk of both physical injuries and burnout, especially if they do so at a young age. Dr. Daniel Lichtmann, a pediatrician at Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley who specializes in sports injuries, said that the most common sports injuries are caused not by trauma, but by overuse. “Being in just one particular sport, you’re constantly using the exact same muscles over and over, so it increases your risk for overuse injury for two reasons,” said Lichtmann. “One, you’re using those muscles more and two, you’re not necessarily strengthening the surrounding muscles that help support the ligaments and joints and bones in the area.” Last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that young athletes minimize these risks by waiting until age 15 or 16 to focus on a specific sport. In addition, the American

ADOBE STOCK BROOKE BECKER - STOCK.ADOBE.COM

Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine stated that in most sports, specializing at a young age offers no benefit. A study published in July in The American Journal of Sports Medicine appears to confirm that specialization may increase the risk of injuries among high school athletes by 50 percent. Among the most common injuries were ankle sprains, knee tendonitis, and stress fractures. Students were considered “highly specialized” if they had quit one sport to focus on another, considered their chosen sport more important, and trained more than eight months a year for their sport.

Add variety and rest to the schedule

Pediatricians believe it is important for young athletes to play a variety of sports, both to avoid overtaxing certain muscles and joints as well as to encourage a more balanced workout. In addition to team

sports, kids should have the opportunity to try individual sports such as swimming or martial arts. “Even in high school it is probably best to be in multiple sports, but if you are specializing, it’s important that you’re doing some kind of cross-training, either with the team or during the offseason, so you’re not constantly using the same muscles,” said Dr. Lichtmann. “And, kids and adults should have at least a day off from activity each week to let the body recover.” The AAP also offers the following recommendations: • Discuss the decision to specialize with your pediatrician or family doctor, who can help determine if the child is physically and emotionally ready for the demands of the sport, and offer suggestions to minimize injury. • If kids are involved in high-level sports programs or clubs, ensure the coaches and trainers are well-qualified to work with youth, and closely monitor the training schedules. • Encourage young athletes to take one-month breaks from their chosen sport at least three times a year, while still enjoying other activities. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Cleaning up sales promotions

onfession time: I’m basically lazy. This explains why my car wasn’t washed for the past year. Plus, dirt may be the only thing holding the old girl together. Then I succumbed to a local car wash’s coupon, prompting two results: • My car was finally cleaned; and • I observed good marketing in action You see, the coupon offered a sizable discount, but a lesser amount appeared at the company’s automated scanner. Were I left alone I would have paid the higher price, cursed the car wash, complained to everyone I knew, and never returned. However, a quick-thinking employee salvaged the situation by paying the difference from his own pocket. “I’ll fix it when the manager returns,” he promised. Good move. A compelling offer plus good customer service created a pleasant experience and a satisfied shopper. Why’d the problem exist? Prices were raised three days before the coupon expired. There was an overlap, and someone in IT didn’t synchronize the checkout cart with the coupon. This can be a big problem, as I couldn’t have been the only person to encounter this issue. Even if the coupon was only sent to the immediate neighborhood, that’s several thousand sales prospects impacted. Assuming a 2 percent coupon response rate, 40+

HOME HOMEOF OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

people were needlessly upset. Now, if that smart young lad in the bowtie (or the missing manager) caught every one of them, problem solved. Otherwise, several dozen customers are potentially badmouthing the car wash for not keeping a promise. With the preponderance of social media these days, I assume one unhappy customer tells 500 friends about bad service. Even if I’m wrong by a factor of five, thousands in North County and elsewhere may be needlessly hearing negative things about their shopping experience. Can any business afford so much harmful publicity? To avoid these issues at your business, walk through the entire customer experience like the buyer would. Examine sales promotions carefully, test your coupons at the point of sale, and try to break the website. Because odds are excellent if you don’t find the mistakes, your audience will. Then, just for good measure, train and authorize your staff to handle possible issues like mine. Recognize that things will go wrong, no matter how hard you prepare. And have a plan for keeping customers happy. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Learn to treat customers better at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Poway chamber leader steps down Delores Canizales is stepping down after five years as president and CEO of the Poway Chamber of Commerce to pursue other opportunities. Her last day is Friday. “Over the last five years, I have worked with many volunteers and staff to build an effective business association that truly benefits chamber members,” she said in a letter to chamber members. “We have created several events that bring greater visibility to our businesses, developed new committees focused on education and advocacy, and worked with community partners for the betterment of Poway. In the weeks ahead we will unveil our newly designed website and marketing materials.”

Dolores Canizales Canizales said Monday her primary goals when taking the job were to create a strong leadership team and improve the chamber’s organizational and marketing efforts. “I am very proud of the work that has been accomplished by the board

of directors, committee chairs and volunteers. These leaders are working together to make sure the Poway Chamber remains relevant and the business community continues to thrive,” she said. “As of result of this work, we have all created trusting business relationships and friendships that will last a lifetime.” Prior to taking the Poway job, Canizales spent five years as district director for Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn. She had also worked for former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and has held a paid chamber positions in San Pedro and Hollywood, Florida. Canizales said she plans to remain in the area.

Home maintenance projects to tackle this fall (StatePoint) Fall is the perfect time to complete those pesky home maintenance projects left on your to do list. If you’ve been putting off these chores, you’re not alone, but it could cost you. In fact, a national survey from Erie Insurance shows many Americans are putting themselves and their homes at financial risk by delaying important home maintenance tasks. Make sure you’re protected by focusing on these four areas: • The roof. Twenty-three percent of homeowners admit they never inspect their roof or have it inspected unless there is a problem, according to the Erie Insurance survey. Unfortunately, replacing a roof is also one of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have if not maintained properly. Nationally, the average homeowner spends about $6,600 to install a new roof, but prices can soar upwards of $20,000. Don’t be stuck with a hefty roof repair bill. Have it inspected to see if any shingles are damaged and need to be replaced. The fall season is the optimal time to do so, since roofing is best installed when temperatures are cooler. Plus, you’ll catch any problems before winter weather kicks in. • The gutters. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear of debris. Clogged gutters can lead to major issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls and interior water damage. This type of claim, also known as seepage, is a

ADOBE STOCK

To prevent any major issues, clean gutters at least twice a year in fall and spring. maintenance issue and often not covered under your home insurance policy. To prevent any major issues, clean gutters at least twice a year in fall and spring. • The dryer exhaust duct. Does it take you two to three cycles to dry a load of laundry? If so, you may need to clean your dryer vent. One in five (21 percent) admit they never clean their clothes dryer ducts, unless they have a problem. But lint build-up can catch fire easily. Over 15,000 dryer fires occurred nationwide from 2010-2014, with the majority being ignited by dust, fiber and lint, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Avoid this disaster with a thorough cleaning at least once a year. • The fireplace chimney. Erie Insurance found nearly half (46 percent)

of people who own a home with a fireplace never have their chimneys cleaned. However, uncleaned chimneys are a leading cause of structure fires, reports the National Fire Protection Association. So, get the chimney cleaned before the cold weather hits and you find yourself tossing logs in the hearth to keep the house toasty, and then have it cleaned annually. For more information on how you can protect your home through the seasons, visit www.ErieInsurance.com. Now that you have your checklist, it’s time to roll up your sleeves while it’s still nice outside. Whether you’re a DIYer or prefer hiring a professional, crossing these projects off your to-do list will help ensure you’re safe and secure before temperatures drop.
