BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK With no fanfare, Poway’s hospital has entered its fourth decade. Palomar Medical Center Poway — known as Pomerado Hospital until its renaming last December — officially turned 40 this summer, but Palomar Health officials decided to not mark the milestone until last month with a quiet acknowledgement among its staff. Pomerado Hospital opened on June 29, 1977 with 130 patient beds, 200 employees and more than 50 physicians. Its first baby, Adam Michael Johnson, was born that day at 1 p.m., according to historical

PUSD scores exceed state, county averages

BY EMILY SORENSEN Poway Unified School District students exceeded the state and county averages in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress exams. This statewide assessment, now in its third year, replaced the Standardized Testing and Reporting program and is part of the state’s Common Core requirements. The assessments were taken by students in grades 3 through 8 as well as grade 11, with over 18,500 students in the district taking the exam. Students earn one of four scores on the test in both English and math: standards exceeded, standards met, standards nearly met and standards not met. In the PUSD, 67 percent of students who took the CAASPP met or exceeded state standards for math, compared to 37.5 percent statewide and 43.5 percent countywide. In English, 74 percent of PUSD students who took the exam met or exceeded state standards, compared to 48.5 percent statewide and 55.6 percent countywide. PUSD’s math score is the same as last year and its English score is down two percentage points from its 2016 score of SEE PUSD, A11

City cuts water service at Poway’s StoneRidge Country Club BY J. HARRY JONES The water supply to the StoneRidge Country Club was shut off briefly for one day last week by the city of Poway for lack of payment of its water bills, officials said. The supply of raw water used to irrigate the club’s golf course as well as its potable supply of water were switched back on later in the afternoon of Sept. 27 after a certified check for about $50,000 was brought to the city. The city’s action came after the country club in northern Poway was “red tagged,” or put on notice that water service would be suspended if it didn’t pay its bills within 48 hours. Records obtained from the city via a public records act request show the country club has had trouble paying its bills much of this year. On Sept. 1, City Manager Tina White sent an email to members of the City Council. “StoneRidge was once again behind on its raw water bill,” the email began. “They asked for another extension, which was denied. After they paid, they called to say the check might bounce. As for potable water, they went right up to shut-off day and asked for a one-week extension, which was denied. As predicted, their check bounced. They must now pay with a certified check by tomorrow at noon to avoid shut off of all water. Their next bill for raw water is $45,000 and it is due by Sept. 15. (That is one month of water)” Those bills were paid, but the latest was

STEVE DREYER

The clubhouse at the StoneRidge Country Club. not, leading to the shut-off. Bobby Heath of Western Golf Properties, which was hired late last year by golf course owner Michael Schlesinger to manage the country club, said earlier this week that the course is actually closer to being caught up on its water bill payments than it has been in recent months. He said when his company took over management duties, the club was between $300,000 and $400,000 in arrears. He said

Professionals Who Know and Care Most lenders offer the same rates and programs. What makes the difference?

the bounced check was simply a clerical error, which was corrected. “If you look at that property, you have an irrigation system that is very antiquated and not efficient,” Heath said. “For a private country club to survive, it depends on dues-paying members. With the history the club has had, and maybe the uncertainty, there’s not a robust membership.” The billing issues in some ways play into the narrative being put out by Schlesinger’s

representatives that the future of the club is in grave danger should a ballot measure to be voted on by city residents in November not be approved. Measure A would rezone a part of the golf course to allow the construction of 180 luxury condominiums and a new clubhouse, while retaining a slightly scaled-down version of the golf course. A representative for Schlesinger has said should the measure fail, the club and course will be shuttered soon thereafter because so far this year, it has lost $500,000, which Heath said is mostly water and energy costs. Some members of the country club and homeowners who have property along the fairways support the ballot measure, believing it is the only way the course and club can be saved. Others in the neighborhood and elsewhere in Poway say Schlesinger is not to be trusted and that his track record with the Escondido Country Club, which has been shuttered for more than four years, is proof that his only interest is making money, not the betterment of the property. Some club members also oppose the plan because it calls for the elimination of the club’s tennis courts and swimming pool. (Update: Late Tuesday morning an SDG&E employee came to the country club to turn off power for non-payment of the bill. The employee left a few minutes later after management paid the balance owed online.) Jones writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FFCC to help Alvin, Texas, with hurricane recovery BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Friends & Family Community Connection will be helping residents in Alvin, Texas, whose homes were severely damaged during Hurricane Harvey. Last month, representatives from the Rancho Bernardo-based organization, including founder Phil Harris and program coordinator Tina Socha, spent a few days in the Houston area leading two food packing events scheduled before the hurricane struck and making contacts in order to plan assistance efforts following the devastating storm and flooding. Socha said on Tuesday that after meeting with various officials and pairing up with Disaster Aid USA — a Rotary International disaster relief group — FFCC decided to focus its efforts on Alvin, a low-income community of 24,000 residents about 25 miles southeast of Houston in Brazoria County. “Alvin is on the lower-income scale and that is what FFCC was looking for (when providing assistance),” she said. On Tuesday, a group of FFCC representatives made a second trip to Texas so they, in consultation with school district officials, can identify families in most need of help. They also need to set up logistics with some area churches that will be coordinating housing and meals for the volunteers. The assessment team is scheduled to return home on Saturday, Socha said. This preliminary work is being done in advance of a volunteer work team that will spend Oct. 14-21 in Alvin, helping with pre-rebuilding tasks like removing drywall and carpeting. Two additional trips are tentatively being planned for November and another for December. Dates have yet to be finalized, Socha said. A reassessment will be done in early 2018 to determine what, if any, additional assistance is required in Alvin. Anyone — high school age and above — who would like to volunteer for one of these Texas work trips or who would like to help with related efforts in San Diego — such as gathering supplies — needs to attend a 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10 meeting. For location and details, send an email to tina.socha@ffccsd.org. She said interested volunteers, who have to cover their expenses, will need to fill out an application. While those with construction experience are needed, especially on the later trips, Socha said that is not necessary in order to volunteer since participants will be shown what to do.

Even those unable to make any of the trips can help by making monetary donations or providing supplies. As of last week, FFCC has raised $20,000 to purchase needed materials and supplies for the selected homes. Officials said 100 percent of donations designated to Hurricane Harvey relief will go toward the rebuilding effort. Tax-deductible donations can be made online at ffccsd.org or by mailing a check — with designation on the memo line — to FFCC, 12469 Rancho Bernardo Road, PMB #158, San Diego, CA 92128. In-kind donations are also being sought. The most needed items thus far are diapers, work gloves, metal rakes, disinfectant wipes, particulate masks, rags and large heavy-duty garbage bags. Socha said the masks are especially needed. These items can be dropped off at Dream Dinners in Poway, 12218 Poway Road, Suite 100 or Village Mail & More in Rancho Bernardo, 12469 Rancho Bernardo Road. Socha said during the September trip the FFCC team provided some assistance to locals. The two food packing events — when easy to cook nutritious meals were assembled — resulted in 100,000 meals, all of which were designated for hurricane victims. The team visited an area called Little Cambodia where people lost everything and the water supply was contaminated. She said they gave many of the meals to the residents and provided water filter kits so they could once again have drinkable water. In addition, they made contact with a relative of an FFCC member who had family on the hurricane-devastated Caribbean island of St. John’s. Their contact was going to travel to the island so FFCC sent 15 boxes of food and water filters with him to help the people there. Socha said FFCC officials have yet to decide what additional assistance they can provide to St. John’s or to hurricane victims in Florida and Puerto Rico since they were among areas devastated in subsequent hurricanes. Efforts will depend on volunteers interested in going to those areas and the availability of partner organizations in those communities. “You see the images on TV, and I have been to Haiti, where I have seen major destruction,” Socha said. “It’s heartbreaking. But it’s the people ... when you see what they are dealing with, who have lost everything, that is so hard. You see the hurt and overwhelmingness (of the situation) and want to help.”

San Diego Public Library adopts 1,000 books program Goal is to encourage reading to babies and toddlers BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The city of San Diego library system today launched a literacy program designed to increase the number of books that parents and other caregivers read to young children. Library patrons who want to participate in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program can register online or at any city library location, including the Rancho Bernardo Library at 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. Small rewards are offered when parents, caregivers and children hit milestones on the way to reading 1,000 books. “Experiencing books at a very young age opens up so many opportunities for children — opportunities that pay off well into adulthood,’’ said Misty Jones, the city’s library director. “By adding the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten early literacy program at all 36 San Diego Public Library locations, we’re giving parents a clear path to follow to develop literacy skills in their children before they begin school.’’ Library officials cited data from the National Education Association that says 26 percent of children who were read to three or four times a week by a family member recognized all the letters of the alphabet. The ability for a child to recognize the alphabet drops to 14 percent for children who were read to less frequently.

She also credited her longevity to “God’s plan.” Dolan said Moats — who is not a Catholic — is “very Christ-centered” and a “wonderful” neighbor.

Del Norte High makes homecoming changes BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK To recognize its students for their character instead of popularity, Del Norte High is doing away with its homecoming court and replacing it with a student-selected group of honorees. Dubbed “Faces of the Flock” — the Nighthawks collectively refer to themselves as a flock — each class nominated and voted for representatives for having good character and working the hardest among their peers, said junior Brooke Cole, an ASB Election Committee member. “We did not want (homecoming honors) going to those because they are the most popular ... or cutest couple,” she said. Last year Del Norte kept the homecoming court tradition, but tweaked it, letting the top nominees based on character and school spirit — regardless of gender — represent the classes. In the case of the seniors, the top two vote getters — both male — were crowned homecoming “royalty.” ASB Director Jennifer Mitchell said the students are retaining the idea of recognition based on character, but eliminating a

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

Del Norte’s homecoming “Faces of the Flock” honorees are front row, senior Nikki Luu, freshman Nya Harrison and sophomore Jaelyn Daluraya. Middle row, junior Umer Badar and seniors Bella Munar, Kevin Salceda and Lexi Fernandez. Back row, junior Kayleigh O’Neal, sophomore Ethan Keirn, freshman Matthew Bautista and senior Mark McClure.

crowning among the seniors this year. Cole said each student could nominate three students as the best representatives of their class and vote on the finalists. The girl and boy who received the most votes in the freshman, sophomore and junior classes are being honored. The senior class is honoring its top three girls and top three boys. During halftime of Friday’s 7 p.m. varsity football game against Vista, the 12 honorees will walk onto the field with their parents and a favorite

teacher will talk about each student. They will receive a “Faces of the Flock” certificate, flowers and the seniors will also receive candy bouquets, Cole said. Those being honored are seniors Lexi Fernandez, Nikki Luu, Mark McClure, Bella Munar, Kevin Salceda and Tommy Smyth; juniors Umer Badar and Kayleigh O’Neal; sophomores Jaelyn Daluraya and Ethan Keirn; and freshmen Matthew Bautista and Nya Harrison. As for other homecoming

traditions, those are continuing. Since this year’s theme is “Around the World,” spirit week activities have included dress-up days. Monday was travel day, so students wore “comfy” clothes, Tuesday was “Out in the City,” so they were to dress “nice” and on Wednesday for flag day they were to wear a country’s colors. Thursday is family fun day, so students are to wear clothes that match their friends and on Friday and at the game they are to dress for “tacky tourist day.” Each class is also building a float, which will be displayed during the annual parade on streets surrounding the campus. Those who would like to watch need to be in place by 11:50 a.m. Also participating will be the band, cheer and dance teams, and fall sports teams. The “Faces of the Flock” honorees will ride in convertibles, Cole said. Tickets to the homecoming game on Friday night are $8 for general admission, $5 for students and free to children under age 5. The campus stadium is at 16601 Nighthawk Lane in 4S Ranch. Homecoming festivities will conclude on Saturday night with a dance in the Del Norte gym.

Del Norte High honors 33 science students BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Del Norte High School recently honored 33 students through its monthly Character Recognition Program. This first group of students for the 2017-18 academic year were selected by teachers and staff members in the science department. The students were recognized on Sept. 26 “because of their outstanding character, attitude and contributions to their classrooms,” school officials said. “They have influenced both their peers and teachers in a positive way.” The honored students were: Freshmen Chad Cushing, Emma Giffin, Patrick “Diego” Krenz, Katherine Lawrence, Jack Lee, Aashna Patel, Karan Sukheja, Grace Wintersteen and Rishabh Yalamarty. Sophomores Mieko Arambulo, Liana Avaregan, Sean Berry, Deborah Kang, David Ryan, Victor Varvara and Isabella Wilson. Juniors Feroza Hayatt, Paityn Manor, Alexis McCall, Ethan Smith, Nicholas Sugiarto and Regina Valdos Flores. Seniors Caelyn Byrne, Veronica Campbell, Katherine Chohan, Bennett Cooper, Guneet Gill, Mehrshad Hairani, Connor Hastings, Everett Lin, Magnalaina Purdy and Gursimran Singh. There was one additional student honored who did not have a media release on file with the school, officials said. The recognition program is sponsored by the Del Norte PTSA and Del Norte Foundation. Each month another department on campus will nominate students for recognition.

www.pomeradonews.com FROM PUSD, A1 76 percent. The district showed gains in the number of students meeting or exceeding standards in several grade levels. Students in grades 5, 6 and 11 showed improvement from last year, according to a press release from the district. “Last year’s fifth grade students, as a collective group over a three year period, have demonstrated an eight percentage point increase in the number of students meeting or exceeding the standards. This data aligns with our district’s commitment toward improving literacy proficiency in support of our district’s goal of ensuring college and career readiness for all students,” said the press release. While students showed a two percent drop in English scores from last year, the trend is positive over the past three years, according to the press release. “A primary goal of the district has been to increase the achievement of all students by focusing on equity in meeting the individual needs of our students.” Test results show that the district’s African-American, Latino and economically disadvantaged students have made gain in English Language

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - OCTOBER 5, 2017 - PAGE A11

Arts, and in math, the Latino and economically disadvantaged students have shown improvement. The district acknowledged that the tests show areas that will need continued focus in the press release, stating that the district is committed to refining and aligning systemic practices in supporting all students and a need to continue to develop and implement strategies and programs designed to address the needs of the district’s English learners. “Data from assessments is used as part of a broader picture of student achievement. Teachers use these results in conjunction with site and classroom assessments and observations, to help tailor instruction throughout the school year. Consistent strong results are indicative of system-wide collaboration by parents, teachers, and school staff to facilitate student success,” said Mel Robertson, PUSD associate superintendent of learning support services, in the press release. While scores for individual students are not available online, schoolwide scores are available by visiting caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2017 and clicking “search smarter balanced results.”

FROM HOSPITAL, A1 The now-107-bed acute care facility provides general medical and surgical services, 24-hour emergency services, labor and delivery, a neonatal intensive care unit, cardiovascular care, orthopedic services, wound care, a neuropsychiatric unit, a surgical weight loss program and rehabilitation services. Also on its campus is the 129-bed Villa Pomerado Convalescent Care Center and the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion. While not there for the earliest years, Cheryl and Rick Johnston have been working at the hospital throughout most of its existence, since the Poway natives joined its staff 37 years ago. Cheryl was hired three months before Rick. The couple said over their tenure they have seen a lot of changes, not only at the hospital campus, but in Poway. Cheryl, now the lead health information specialist who handles medical records and birth certificates, said she started at the hospital as a food service worker. She worked in that department for 21 years until switching to medical records 16 years ago. “Back then we could make whatever (food) we wanted to for the families or staff, but not the patients,” she said, adding several years ago the menu was formalized to a standard set of offerings. Cheryl said everyone was like family and she often knew everyone’s favorite dishes. Rick got his start at the hospital as a construction worker and is now the lead maintenance mechanic whose responsibilities include overseeing the hospital’s power plant, engineering and facilities. “I started as a temporary employee in construction and liked the organization so much I applied (for a permanent position),” he said. “There is always something new and exciting. I like working on different things daily.” Cheryl said she was 3 months old when her family moved to Poway. Rick said he was a toddler when

Why call a geek?

his family became Powegians. The couple met at Mt. Carmel High School, which they attended since they lived on the side of Poway assigned to that campus. Rick graduated in 1978 and Cheryl in 1979. The high school sweethearts married a few years later. While they are literally family, they said there has always been a very “family-like” feeling among the hospital staff and many longtime employees have shared family milestones together, including the births of their children and now, grandchildren. “I would not go anywhere else,” Cheryl said, adding she views those she interacts with as “my patients, my doctors ... my moms. I take it very personal.” Rick recalled how he and a couple other employees were the only ones who stayed at the hospital for three days after it and the adjacent Villa Pomerado skilled nursing facility was evacuated during the 2007 Witch Creek fire. They were responsible for making sure the campus was safe and given fire hoses so they could put out any embers if they traveled from the fire’s front line a few miles away. “At nighttime I would look at the hill and see the glow that seemed ready to come over,” Rick said. “It was terrible.” He added, “It was really weird, deserted like in a movie. A ghost town. After the fire stopped we had a major cleanup with the air intake. There were ashes everywhere.” It was because of the hospital’s ventilation system taking in smoke that patients had to be evacuated and the hospital could not reopen for five days, he said. “This is definitely home (for us),” Cheryl said. “We take a lot of pride in our jobs.” “Everybody cares deeply for the patients,” Rick said. “They treat everybody with respect, like they’re family. There is such compassion. It is nice to see that.”

OPINION

www.pomeradonews.com

GUEST COLUMN

Poway Road’s future in peril BY LYNETTE PERKES he Poway City Council is poised to allow massive multi-story, multi-family developments on Poway Road that will radically change the character of our “City in the Country.” The proposed changes to the Poway Road Specific Plan, incorporated in the Poway Road Corridor Study, will raise the height limitations on Poway Road to three and four stories, allow 1,148 new multifamily residential units plus increased commercial on Poway Road. This is what we wanted to avoid when we became a city in 1980. The county had rejected our community plan, which called for a low-density, low-profile “City in the Country,” and planned to force us to accept enough multi-story residential units on Poway Road to turn it into a concrete canyon. So we, the Poway voters, opted to incorporate to save our community’s small-town character - the Poway the current council proposes to throw away. Three parcels in the Town Center portion of the plan are owned by the city and could be used not for massive growth, but for something we actually need — parks, with grass and trees for the people already crammed into multi-family developments in the area, whose children have no place to play. Poway Road is flood plain, where the water table is so close to the surface that trees could support themselves even in drought years — an urban forestto beautify our city and combat global warming. The traffic impact of the proposed plan changes is so severe that, in earlier versions, Poway Road was shown as a one-way street, with another one-way street going the opposite way added, parallel to it, to the south. The right of way for the second road proved so costly, however, that it was dropped. The current solution? Wider bike lanes. As if! Now why would anyone in north Poway go to Poway Road to shop in a permanent traffic jam, when there are 19 other shopping centers within 15 minutes of north Poway? A new school would be required, for which the school district has neither land nor money. Councilman Leonard brushed this aside: “That’s not our problem. It’s the school district’s problem.” He apparently has no children in the Poway schools. Those who do might consider children on double sessions the council’s problem, since they created it. The need for water for these 1,148 units, when we’ve already had to give up our lawns for rocks and cactus, was not even mentioned. We need this massive urbanization, we’re told, because we need the money. More commercial means more sales tax dollars and, to support more commercial, we need more rooftops, they say. This is obviously a circular argument. Residential doesn’t pay for itself in property tax revenue, because of Prop. 13, so California cities compete to build ever more commercial, trying to steal each other’s shoppers. But this produces excess commercial so we must add more rooftops, which won’t support themselves, so we’ll need more SEE POWAY, A15

OUR READERS WRITE Citizen comments ignored While I agree that the Poway City Council did a “good job of managing the process of developing a by-district election map,” (Editorial, Sept. 14) many of us were disappointed that citizen input was not acted upon. For example, I spoke a couple of times, requesting that my cul-de-sac in Garden Road be included in District 4, a no-go. Moreover, maps provided by non-council members were not considered and District 4 elections were moved to 2020 instead of 2018, which further delays south Poway from having a representative on the City Council. The mayor and council members appeared to focus mainly on the timeline and process provided by their lawyers, perhaps fueled by a desire to avoid being sued. They did listen politely to citizen input, but that was mere formality. Bernie Guzman Poway

Comment on draft report In August I received a public notice letter from the City of Poway regarding Draft

Environmental Impact Report No. 2017031035 (DEIR), which involves proposed changes to the Poway Road Specific Plan. It can be viewed on the city’s website, poway.org. The first thing that cause my eye was the proposal for 1,148 residential units to be built along Poway Road which, if implemented, would have a significant impact on the city. This would include traffic, pollution, parking and an increase in population. The residents in these new u nits would most likely have children, so schools would be affected. It would be a domino effect. The city is looking for comments on the proposal. Direct them, in writing, to Joseph Lim, Development Services Department, 13325 Civic Center Drive, Poway, CA 92064. Reference the document listed above. Rochelle Melone Poway

California Focus BY THOMAS ELIAS

Brown must sign Disclose Act

ost attention given putative new laws passed in the waning moments of this year’s legislative session in Sacramento has gone to items like a “sanctuary state” compromise making California safer for non-criminal undocumented immigrants and measures to move the state’s next presidential primary up into early March. But the one bill with the most potential to improve this state’s politics is the long-sought “Disclose Act,” which – if Gov. Brown signs it before an Oct. 15 deadline – could do more than any modern measure to clean up California’s money-dominated initiative process. This bill “will fundamentally change how campaign financing is disclosed,” said its latest sponsor, Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, the No. 2-ranking Democrat in the

Legislature’s lower house. It just might do that. The bill requires ads for ballot propositions and independent expenditure ads for and against candidates to identify their top three funders, with no one able to hide behind phony names like “Californians for Purity,” or anything of that sort. The idea is to identify people and organizations actually trying to exert influence, possibly causing some to downsize their contributions if they don’t want to be exposed as leading donors. If Brown signs it, this will let voters know exactly who is trying to influence their decisions. From the “who,” it’s usually only a short distance to discern the “why,” which could then see voters cast their most educated ballots ever. In short, this proposed law could make California politics not only more transparent than ever before, but also

Consider This BY BARRY CRONIN

When the sun falls out of the sky

he greatest hero of the 20th century was a man from Vladivostok, Russia by the name of Stanislav Petrov. The fact you've never heard of him matters not. The world owes him a debt of gratitude we can never repay. It was 34 years ago, during the height of the Cold War, when Lt. Col. Petrov saved us all from nuclear annihilation. The story is something straight out everyone's worst nightmare. When the Russian air defense system he was monitoring suddenly displayed what appeared to be multiple inbound U.S. Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles, Petrov faced the greatest decision any man has ever faced. He had only moments to decide, sound the alarm and initiate a massive Soviet retaliation, or wait. Petrov waited. Turns out, it was a mechanical malfunction. In some ways, Vladivostok is not unlike San Diego. It too

is a Navy town. Twenty years ago, I had the rare fortune to be ordered there by my general to plan and execute a disaster relief exercise with Russian Naval infantry counterparts. It was an extraordinary experience. Marines being Marines, we all but ignored the political watchdog who was shadowing us. When we weren't working, Americans and Russians shared jokes and stories, feasted, drank and composed lengthy Homeric toasts. Politics and ideology never once reared their ugly heads. This was just new comrades enjoying one another's company. And to think. Were it not for Stanislav Petrov, we would have probably incinerated each other 14 years earlier. It chills the blood. Six hundred miles due south of that Siberian town is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations on earth. The Japanese Inland Sea is a sizeable body of navigable water safely nestled between

the three main islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. It wasn't always so peaceful. It was out of the vast Kure shipyards on the western shores of that sea that the Yamato, the greatest battleship ever built, sallied forth on its suicide mission to attack the U.S. invasion fleet off the coast of Okinawa. Barely 10 miles from that place lies Hiroshima. On the morning of August 6, 1945, the sun fell out of the sky and burned that city to the ground. It was sometime during that same overseas posting in the Far East that I was able to finally squeeze in some time off and take my family up to mainland Japan to see some of the many fine sights of that Inland Sea. From Okinawa, we hitched a ride in the back of a KC-130 cargo plane. First class, Marine Corps-style. We apparently timed it perfectly because we caught the Kintai Bridge Cherry Blossom Festival in full bloom. From there, it was

might go far toward cleaning up the state’s special-interest-driven politics. Voters will know, for example, when industrialist Eli Broad, who has financed many charter school backers in local elections, is at work. They’ll also know when teachers unions – which often oppose charter schools – are the biggest supporters of candidates aiming to feather the nests of their members. Brown has long claimed to favor transparency in politics and government, but has not always acted accordingly. Yes, he helped write the state’s Political Reform Act, passed as an initiative in 1974 while he ran for governor for the first time. That measure not only created the Fair Political Practices Commission, which polices campaign spending, but also imposed spending limits (later tossed by the courts), restricted what lobbyists can give to officials and banned anonymous campaign donations of more than $100. But lately Brown has been secretive about some of his communications with state officials on utility rate cases and other big-money issues. With only about a year left in office, if he wants to be remembered as a good-government advocate, rather than a transparency obstacle, he must sign the Disclose Act. Unlike his handling of the sanctuary state bill, Brown has not yet indicated whether he’ll sign or veto this one. His decision here will reveal a lot about his but a short ferry ride out to Mia Jima Island and the world famous Floating Torii. It was a week of beautiful sights and fascinating places. Our vacation ended with a trip to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Sobering does not even begin to describe it. I remember particularly the sprawling diorama depicting Hiroshima immediately following the detonation. The miniature city is leveled. The atomic sun is depicted by a red ball suspended above the ruins. “Little Boy” exploded with the power of 20,000 tons of TNT. The fireball was 300 yards in diameter with a temperature of 500,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun literally came down to earth. Rivers boiled. Human beings at ground zero were vaporized, leaving behind only ghostly shadows in the scorched concrete. They were the lucky ones. At least they didn't suffer. Tens of thousands were far less fortunate. Not to worry, though. If President Trump continues to mismanage this nuclear crisis and the unthinkable actually does happen, he should be able to ride it out in relatively comfortable fashion in his safe and secure bunker deep in the mountains of West Virginia. The rest of us get to die screaming. Cronin is a Poway resident and the safety officer at MCAS Miramar.

true priorities – whether he favors voters and consumers or the big donors who often want anonymity. It’s true the measure could have been better than it is. It could have demanded that disclosures of donors be made in print equal in size to the largest anywhere else in an ad. Instead, the meaning of the vague words “clearly and prominently,” will no doubt be litigated for years if Brown signs. Similarly, the original goals of this plan were to expose the largest contributors to candidates. That went by the boards during the legislative process, but plenty of major improvements remain. What’s more, legislative passage of the Disclose Act was pretty bipartisan, with every Assembly Democrat who voted saying yes and five Republicans from swing districts joining them. Said Trent Lange, president of the California Clean Money Campaign, who has pushed the Disclose Act for almost a decade, “We’ve never been closer, anywhere in the country, to shining a light on dark money by making it illegal for voters to be misled about who is truly paying for ballot measure ads...” It’s up to Brown now, and what he does on arguably the most important bill to pass the Legislature in years will go a long way toward defining how he’ll be remembered. Elias is a syndicated columnist. Reach him at tdelias@aol.com.

FROM POWAY, A14 commercial, which will require more rooftops, which will require more commercial, which will require more rooftops, ad infinitum. The promised sales tax windfall was a false hope when this plan was first conceived, and it’s even more unrealistic now. A seismic shift to online shopping and away from brick-and-mortar is revolutionizing retail. Sales tax will no longer be the cities’ cash cow. It’s estimated that, countrywide, more than 8,600 stores will close this year. The big department stores are all in trouble. Movie theaters sit empty, as people stream movies at home. The one bright spot is restaurants, but Amazon has taken aim at them, too, buying Whole Foods and planning to offer meal delivery, and more food vendors are set to follow. Please contact your councilmen. Tell them that Poway must not blindly forge ahead on this specific plan update. Perkes is a longtime city resident and occasional City Council meeting attendee.

FROM LETTERS, A14 required in the future. It was a stark reminder to me of the fundamental problem: This is a private agreement between two private parties. We all need to all understand that Poway Open Space must represent the citizens’ interests as city government has no involvement in the contract. Does Poway Open Space have the legal and financial resources to adequately represent the citizens should the owner breach the contract? Can it assure the public they will always be around? When problems arise, what number do we call? Do Poway Open Space members understand the magnitude of this public trust for which they ask? Poway Open Space member took it upon themselves to negotiate this deal and then came to the citizens for a zoning change. They are asking us to change 77 acres from open space recreational to residential condominium. They are asking us to endure higher density and more traffic. Above all, they are asking us to send a message to developers that our city is up for grabs. Without a convincing answer to the question of enforceability, we need examine the measure no further. We have no choice but to vote “no” on Measure A. Barbara Snyder Poway

Flight school: Vice principal flies with Blue Angels BY KAREN BILLING Bill Miller recently had the “beyond bucket list” experience of flying with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels on Sept. 20. Miller was one of just three San Diego civilians selected to take a ride in the iconic blue and-gold F/A 18 Hornet, in advance of the six-jet team’s performance at the MCAS Miramar Airshow. A Carmel Valley resident, Miller is the vice principal of Patrick Henry High School, which has a very strong Navy Junior ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program. Over the summer, some Navy officers were on campus to recognize the program and invited staff to their training facility in Illinois. The officers made the offer to have the Blue Angels pilots come during the school year to do a presentation — they then floated the idea of someone going up in the air with the Blue Angels and Miller was a willing candidate. For the hundreds who applied for the opportunity to fly with the Blue Angels, the Navy was looking for someone who plays an important role in their community. A UC San Diego graduate, Miller has been in education for 24

He is involved in Dads’ Clubs at his children’s schools, and he was also the 2016-17 president of Solana Beach Little League as well as a coach of his son’s team. Miller’s father is also a former Marine. In addition to community contributions, the candidate also had to be physically cleared by a physician and it was recommended that they could run two miles without a problem and swim 100 yards. “I checked off all those boxes,” Miller said, noting that he was also told to be well-hydrated, get a good night sleep and eat light — all necessary to be able to withstand high levels of G Force, the equivalent of the force of gravity multiplied.

Navy Lt. Brandon Hempler started Miller off with the “easy stuff.” They took off with an accelerated ascent — only 50 feet above the runway they did a straight climb, about 5.6 Gs — traveling up to 10,000 feet in 20 to 30 seconds. They then did some of the types of maneuvers done in the Airshow, including flying upside down, barrel rolls and doing big looping turns with four jets in formation, the wings of the other planes just 18 inches away. Hempler offered Miller the opportunity to do one more thing — a “max G turn,” at about 7.5 Gs. Miller said “Let’s give it a shot.” He remembers seeing 7.1 Gs and the next thing he recalled was Hempler asking: “Bill? You good back there?” — he had gone dark for about two to three seconds. For the 45 minutes of flight time, Miller said Hempler was a perfect host pilot.

“He was concerned with making sure I was having a good time, he wasn’t over-exerting me, he was very polite and professional and wanted me to enjoy myself and come away with a positive experience,” said Miller, quickly adding: “I would do it again in a heartbeat.” After a fast landing, Miller’s family was waiting for him back on solid ground — his father, his mother and father-in-law, son, wife and a co-worker. Miller said his son Brendon was beaming and remarked excitedly: “You were going so fast!” Besides the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a framed commemorative photo, Miller said he came away with a huge sense of patriotic pride. “The purpose was to spark good in the community and talk about the honor, courage and commitment of all those who serve in the Armed Forces and to be grateful for all they have done for us,” Miller said. “After doing this, I can take that message and work at being better at whatever I do, be it as vice principal, dad, husband or coach.

Design39Campus kindergarten teacher Megan Power has been named to the Department of Education’s 2017 School Ambassador Fellowship. This year’s honorees include four teachers, one principal and one counselor. "The fellowship program is designed to improve education for all students by involving practitioners in the development and implementation of national education policy,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “The fellows also work directly with department staff members to inform our understanding of how policies

and programs are implemented and experienced by students, educators and families at the local level.” Power, one of Poway Unified’s Teachers of the Year in 2012, is a founding teacher at PUSD’s newest K-8 campus, Design39Campus. She has been in education for 15 years, serving on leadership teams, opening two new schools and teaching and supporting other teachers through professional development. Last year she was named to the 2016 class of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development Emerging Leaders program. She

was also awarded the Fellowship by the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes. She sits on the Intel Education Board of Academic Advisors, working with companies to give feedback on their educational technology products. The six School Ambassador Fellows attended a three-day summit at the Department of Education last week to become more familiar with education policy and department staff, as well as to begin exchanging ideas for enhancing communication between teachers, stakeholders, and education policy leaders.

San Diego councilman admits to leaking SoccerCity memo BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The mystery over who leaked a confidential City Attorney’s memorandum on the SoccerCity proposal in Mission Valley was resolved Tuesday when Councilman Chris Cate stepped forward to claim responsibility. At a news conference, Cate said he came forward more than three months after the leak became known because City Council members were questioned as part of a lawsuit in the matter. Cate said the City Attorney’s Office released two memos on the SoccerCity citizen’s initiative, the first of which was public and the second of which was marked for attorney-client privilege. He said he was seeking information just days before a crucial vote on the project. “Following the release of the second memo, I sent a copy to a representative of the SoccerCity team,’’ Cate said, referring to an email to Craig Benedetto.

“I was not seeking to undermine the City Attorney or the city,’’ he said. “My goal was to seek from the proponents input and clarification regarding the points that were raised.’’ The 16-page confidential memo was issued June 15, and after it found its way into the hands of the developers, it was published on The San Diego Union-Tribune’s website. The document raised multiple issues with the plan for the project, which the City Council ultimately decided to put before voters sometime next year. At a City Council meeting after the memo became public, City Attorney Mara Elliott called the leak an “egregious breach of public trust.’’ She called on the responsible person to resign. Cate told reporters he did not intend to step down from office. He said he and Elliott met earlier on Tuesday.

The city attorney’s spokesman, Gerry Braun, said Elliott “has made it clear that this was an egregious betrayal of the public trust. The matter is being investigated by the Public Integrity Unit of the District Attorney’s Office.’’ He said the City Attorney’s Office would have no further comment for now. County Democratic Party Chairwoman Jessica Hayes issued a statement in which she accused Cate of fleecing taxpayers for the benefit of developers. “Chris Cate has proven that he is unfit for office and cannot be trusted to faithfully represent the interests of the people of San Diego,’’ Hayes said. “He must resign from the City Council immediately and end his campaign for reelection next year.’’ Cate, a Republican serving in the officially nonpartisan office, is nearly through his third year on the council. Only one opponent has officially declared interest in unseating him.

Authorities looking for burglary suspects The Poway Sheriff’s Station and San Diego County Crime Stoppers are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating two men wanted for burglary. The men are suspected of involvement in the burglary of a Poway home about 11:45 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 16 in the 15700 block of Riparian Road. The resident reported hearing his dog barking and upon investigating, saw two black males standing outside of his home’s sliding glass door, according to a press release from San Diego County Crime Stoppers. He reported that the two suspects did not see him and continued walking. The resident said that shortly after he heard glass breaking and saw one of the suspects inside of his house, peeking around the corner of one of the bedrooms. The resident said that he confronted the suspect, who ran away with the second suspect. The suspects were described by the resident as both being black, standing about 6-feet tall with skinny builds. Both appeared to be in their early 20s. Anyone with information on the identity or location of the suspects is asked to call the Poway Sheriff’s Station at 858-513-2800 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 888-580-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case.

PREP FOOTBALL

Poway, Mt. Carmel clash for Kiwanis Cup BY TERRY MONAHAN Poway High won the first three football meetings with rival Mt. Carmel, starting back in 1975 when the Poway Unified School District’s new school faced the Titans in the inaugural Kiwanis Cup game. Mt. Carmel won the fourth and fifth meetings, the only time in the 41-year history of the series where the Sundevils captured back-to-back games against the Titans. Lately, it’s been all Poway again. The Titans have won the last two meetings and 13 of the last 15 games to fashion a commanding 29-11 lead in the rivalry. The winner team take possession of the Poway Kiwanis Club-sponsored trophy for the year. Poway, which opened Palomar League play two weeks ago with a 49-7 win over Del Norte, needs to keep pace in the league race with another win to stay close to league-leading Ramona. The Titans are tied with Westview in second place. Vista and Del Norte are still searching for that elusive first league win when they meet this Friday in the league’s other contest. Rancho Bernardo has a nonleague game against undefeated and No. 1-ranked Mission Hills at home. Here is a closer look at this week’s games:

Mt. Carmel (1-4, 1-1) at Poway (2-3, 1-0), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Mt. Carmel had a bye; Poway had a bye. Notes: In the 41st meeting, Poway, with a slim edge in scoring with 149 points scored while giving up 141 on defense, is looking for its first win at home after losing the first two on its field to No. 8 Lincoln (50-13) and No. 5 La Costa Canyon (35-7). The Sundevils rely on QB Sean Casey, who is 50-for-102 passing for 480 yards and two TDs while also being the team’s second leading rusher with 176 yards and three TDs, trailing only Spencer Jackson’s 188 yards and two TDs. Jackson also tops the team in receptions with 13 for 138. Prediction: Poway 31, Mt. Carmel 24 Vista (1-4, 0-2) at Del Norte (1-4, 0-2), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Vista had a bye; Del Norte had a bye. Notes: The Nighthawks’ lone victory to date came against Fallbrook 27-21. Del Norte is trying to find itself on offense. RB Jonathan Cappiello leads the team in rushing with 27 carries for 137 and the only two rushing touchdown the team has. Vista,

whose only victory this year is a 14-7 decision over San Pasqual, has not been consistent with its wing-T attack on offense. With just 77 points so far this year, Vista has won the three previous meetings against Del Norte. Prediction: Vista 17, Del Norte 14 No. 1 Mission Hills (5-0, 2-0) at Rancho Bernardo (1-4, 1-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Mission Hills had a bye; Rancho Bernardo had a bye. Notes: Mission Hills has rolled this season on offense with QB Jack Tuttle, scoring 215 points on offense while giving up just 38 on defense. The Broncos have not hit a groove yet on offense. QB Christian Lewis is trying to lead the way with 46-for-87 passing for 588 yards and two TD for the season. His favorite target once again is Malcolm Ross-Turner with 15 catches for 204 yards and a TD. Defensively, the Broncos must be stout behind Luke Manos (42 tackles), Jonny Tanner (39 tackles) and Jacob Wiggins (26 tackles). After opening the series with a win, Rancho Bernardo has lost the last six games against the Grizzlies. Prediction: Mission Hills 35, Rancho Bernardo 14

Del Norte’s White back on road after rough patch

Kelsey White

COURTESY PHOTO

BY TERRY MONAHAN On the first day of fall practice for cross country at Del Norte High, Kelsey White was amazed how different it was after the disastrous beginning to the 2016 season. What started out as an upset stomach to White turned into something far more complicated as the pain persisted throughout that Thursday. She wound up spending the night in the emergency room at Palomar Medical Center, getting an MRI along the way. The verdict in the middle of the night was appendicitis. Surgery took place the next day. She was released that same day of the arthroscopic procedure. But cross country was shelved. “I was shocked when they didn’t come in and tell me it was the flu,’’ said White, a senior. “I never even thought it was my appendix. “I thought I would throw up a couple of times and go to the first practice on Monday.’’ Instead, the 5-foot-6 runner took over as one of the four team managers - all were injured players - through the first half of the season before she was cleared

to resume running. However, it wasn’t running like she remembered. “That first day I could barely walk around the track,’’ White recalled. “Slowly, I got it up to five minutes. Practices were brutal because I couldn’t get my body to do something I’d taken for granted, running.’’ Races during the second half of last year were so taxing. Twice, White had to drop out during races. “I thought I would pick up where I left off the first day,’’ mused White. “But it was a struggle physically and mentally. I had no mental toughness. I’ve heard before that you heal physically long before you heal mentally. I totally agree with that now.’’ Del Norte coach Chris Jacobs admitted he was nervous about letting White run again last season. “I knew she wouldn’t be 100 percent, but I had to push her,’’ Jacobs said. “And that there would be some emotional trauma of not being where she was before.

“When she started again I made sure she understood it was OK to be frustrated as long as she wasn’t negative.’’ White, who also plays soccer, is enjoying her senior cross country season, especially since it’s the best way to forget about her junior running year. “I’m not focusing on my times, but focusing on my growth because I have nothing to compare it from last year,’’ White said. “I’ve maybe run into one other teenager who had to have her appendix removed.’’ Her first meet this year, the Vaquero Invitational at Lindo Lake Park, left her with one memory - just how hot it was that day. “It was only 1.65 miles, but it was a wakeup call,’’ White said. “It made me refocus on just how hard this running thing used to be before my surgery.’’ Being sidelined allowed White to spend more time working with the National Charity League and its community service. She also had more baking time. Chocolate chip cookies or chocolate cake SEE WHITE, B3

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Her swing fixed, Stephanie Heimler key to RB girls golf for Heimler, then a sophomore, as an individual. Her team captured the San Diego Section Division I championship by tying perennial power Torrey Pines and winning the crown on the tiebreaker involving the sixth golfer on a team. Heimler was the difference after the two teams tied for team points. “I was changing my swing and it was miserable trying to help the team,’’ Heimler said. “Winning the CIF championship as a team is the highlight of my high school career. We thought we had lost it to Torrey Pines again. We had to wait for the final announcement to find out about the tiebreaker. There were a lot of tears. Even coach cried. It is still fresh in my mind. It was a great moment.’’ This season has been much better for Heimler, whose swing correction has started kicking in. Her scores have gone way down from last year’s inflated number of strokes. “She’s leading the (Palomar League) with the lowest shot differential,’’ Broncos coach Tim Steigerwald. “She’s one of the three girls I have on this team who could win a CIF section individual title. “This year is what I was expecting from her last season.’’ Heimler has begun the process of plotting out her college plans, hoping to stay on the West Coast to take advantage of the good weather.

Stephanie Heimler was one of only five girls, along with 20 boys, enrolled in the Pro Kids’ Little Linkster program in City Heights to learn the game of golf when she was just 6. At first, she did not like spending time on the course. Eventually, though, the game grew on her. “It was weird to play a sport for the first time,’’ Heimler said. It took until she was almost 10 before she began liking it a bit more, liked going to the course where it final started feeling like a family there. The crowning moment on her conversion was a long drive contest that she won. “It was a small course, so I think I hit it 80 yards,’’ Heimler said, laughing. “I won a sleeve of golf balls for that. I was all in after that.’’ A few years later, Heimler was a freshman who earned a spot on the varsity golf team at Rancho Bernardo, although she did not think she was good enough when fall tryouts began in 2015. “I felt nervous until a few tournaments into that first year,’’ Heimler said. By the end of the season, Heimler had overcome her nervousness so much that the 5-foot-6 golfer wound up winning the individual championship in the Palomar League Tournament. A pair of 2-under-par rounds clinched the title. However, last season was not as successful

Her dream is to eventually head off to either medical or dental school. “At least I know I won’t have another operation on my appendix,’’ White said, laughing loudly. “Thankfully, you only get one of those things.’’ But, as White found out, there’s always room for a second chance.

FROM GOLF, B2 Heimler played soccer for about four years before chucking aside that sport to concentrate all her efforts on the golf course. Since reaching high school, her game has exploded to new heights. “I enjoy being on a team, but I love the

individuality of golf,’’ Heimler said. “I’ve never had that one great round of golf yet. “It’s not the scores. I really like the journey to get better. It keeps me motivated.’’ Heimler was proud to say she’s never thrown a golf club on the course during her own journey.

Bernardo Heights golf title won in sudden-death playoff Dan Chappelle of Santee won the men's golf championship Sunday at Bernardo Heights Country Club, prevailing in a sudden-death playoff against Michael McLoughlin of Black Mountain Ranch. Both men had gross scores of 218, putting them only two strokes over par for the 54-hole tournament. Tournament participants were divided into a championship flight that played 54 holes and three other flights that were based on handicap and played only 36 holes. In the first 36-hole flight, the gross-score winners were John Price of Rancho Bernardo and Glenn Warner of

Rancho Penasquitos, who both posted scores of 148. The best net score in that flight, after deducting handicap, belonged to Marc Brown of Poway, who shot a net 137. The best gross score in the second 36-hole flight was 163 posted by Chivas Stanley, and the low net score in that flight was 144 shot by Jeff Brady. Both men live in Carmel Mountain Ranch. In the third 36-hole flight, the gross score winners were Jim Denton and David Slagle, who tied with scores of 191. The best net score in that flight was posted by Neal Ohta at 150.

Roger McGuinn to perform Saturday at PCPA BY EMILY SORENSEN Enjoy a night of stories and songs with Roger McGuinn on Oct. 7. McGuinn, founder of The Byrds and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will perform at 8 p.m. at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road. “It’s kind of a one-man show,” said McGuinn. “More like a theatrical show than a concert.” The show will include many of McGuinn’s hit songs, both with The Byrds and as a solo artist, and stories about his long career as a musician. McGuinn said he began incorporating stories into his performances back in the late 1980s, after a reviewer called his show “boring” for not talking to the audience and telling stories. “Back with The Byrds, it was not cool to talk on stage,” McGuinn said. “You would just announce the next song.” McGuinn said he thought it was a valid criticism and he and his wife, Camilla, worked on thinking of things he could say during a concert. From there, it grew into

T H I S

the one-man show it is today. While he enjoyed his time in The Byrds and performing with other musicians, being a solo artist like Pete Seeger was always his dream, McGuinn said. “When I was a kid, I used to go see Pete Seeger (perform). After Pete quit The Weavers, I used to wonder how he would carry the show himself, but he was amazing (solo). I wanted to do that when I grew up.” McGuinn said that he knew in his heart that he wanted to do what Seeger did and go solo. Following a reunion in the 1980s with some of his Byrds bandmates, he said he decided to pursue his solo dreams and has been touring solo steadily since. McGuinn and his wife tour alone, driving themselves around the country. “(A friend) suggested that the most fun he had ever had (touring) was touring the country in an RV.” McGuinn gave it a try, making his wife his tour manager. The couple have been touring the world together for over 30 years in what McGuinn said was “like a honeymoon.” They avoid air travel when possible, mostly

S AT U R D AY

due to the hassle of flying, McGuinn said, and instead choose to drive in the United States and having taken the Queen Mary II across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe four or five times. “Everything combined about travel is what we love to do,” he said. “Excitement onstage, a big party with the audience and it’s like a honeymoon with my wife. We stopped doing everything on the road we don’t like, like (performing at) nightclubs, festivals and casinos.” McGuinn said he sticks to performing at nice performing arts centers and theaters because “that’s just what we like to do.” McGuinn and his wife spend up to half the year touring, he said, taking their time exploring the open road. “For this tour, we’re doing 11 shows in two months.” Despite traveling so much, McGuinn said it doesn’t get old. “If you travel in a comfortable way, it’s fun. If you love what you’re doing, it’s not like work.” Tickets for the show range from $23 to $60 and are available at the box office, by calling 858-748-0505 or online at powayonstage.org.

BY PAM KRAGEN Although the 37-year-old Welk Resort Theatre in Escondido will go dark at the end of this year, Welk officials have confirmed the theater will reopen in fall 2018 with a return to live musical theatre. On Friday, Welk confirmed that the 309-seat theater, which has been a showcase for live stage shows since 1981, will close after the final performance of “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 31. Resort general manager Sean Coogan said the theater is being shut down for an extensive lobby remodeling project, but it will reopen as soon as next September with live musical theater performances. Coogan said Welk’s goal is to present programming that is more financially sustainable. But for Joshua Carr, who had been producer and theater manager at the Welk for the past nine years, this is the end of the line. He said the company’s decision came as a shock. Although the shutdown was unexpected, the Welk theater has been facing challenges in recent years. Carr said the remote location made it difficult to draw show-goers from San Diego, and the theater’s longtime core audience, fans of TV’s “The Lawrence Welk Show,” have been declining. Besides presenting year-round

entertainment, the Welk Theatre also served as a rather creaky museum. The theater’s lobby had multiple displays honoring the life and career of resort founder Welk, the North Dakota-born TV bandleader and accordionist who died in 1992 at the age of 89. In a sign of the times, plans were already under way to block off the theater’s lobby for a remodeling that would have drastically reduced the size and scope of the Welk museum. Among the items to go is the illuminated 4-foot-tall crystal Champagne glass, which was made in 1980 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” The cracked and faded piece of Welk memorabilia was sold Friday on eBay for $305. The theater also had planned to get rid of the life-size Lawrence Welk cutouts and the studio bandstand set with old-fashioned TV cameras. Honoring the resort’s history, while appealing to its increasingly youthful time-share owners and guests, has been a difficult balancing act. In an interview with Carr before the shutdown was announced, he said he’d worked very hard in recent years to attract a younger audience without offending the older crowd. SEE WELK, B5

FROM WELK, B4 “There’s that stigma that it’s an old folks place, not a place that presents contemporary shows,” he said. When Carr arrived in 2009, the theater’s audience was already changing. The older Welk show fans who had been the theater’s bread-and-butter in the early years were dying off and there weren’t enough younger theatergoers to replace them. Carr began experimenting with the mix of entertainment, adding magic, variety and tribute shows as well as solo shows by stars of yesteryear, such as Mitzi Gaynor, Shirley Jones and Rich Little. Then, with the permission of resort management, Carr started mixing classic musicals like “Oklahoma!” and “The Sound of Music” with more contemporary fare like “Chicago” and “Sweet Charity.” In September, he opened the edgiest show in the theater’s history, the Broadway musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” a noirish love story set inside a men’s prison in Argentina. The musical’s gay theme has incited the fury of a handful of “Welk Show” fans, but it also drew critical acclaim, audience praise and a more diverse audience. “We have had a couple of older Lawrence Welk Village time-share owners who say Lawrence would be turning over in his grave, and I’ve issued three refunds. But I’ve also had older-generation people standing up and clapping wildly and people walking out after the show saying, ‘Thank you for bringing it,’” Carr said. Ticket sales for “Kiss of the Spider Woman” were down, Carr said, but he was pleased that it appeared to be gaining ground with

The Discovery Concert series at the Rancho Bernardo Library will present “The Art of the Classical Guitar II” at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14 at the library, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. Performed by Anthony Cutietta and Eric Dickerson, this free concert will include both solo and duo works. For details visit SEE CALENDAR, B12 younger theatergoers, who were driving in from as far as Los Angeles to see the rarely performed Tony Award-winning show, which continues through Oct. 22. He said the “Kiss” audience has been evenly split between ages 20s-40s and the over-50 crowd. Usually, three-quarters of the audience is over 50. He was making progress, but the progress wasn’t fast enough. Almost prophetically, he said earlier this week that his goal was to keep the doors open for the show as long as possible. “I’m gratified at what we’re seeing,” he said, “but we need to get butts in seats.” The theater had already announced plans for its now-canceled 2018 season, which was to include a guest production of “Gypsy,” presented by Vista-based Broadway Theatre co-producers Randall Hickman and Douglas Davis. The duo has produced one or two shows a year at the Welk since 2012. Hickman said Friday he was stunned by the news. He and Davis started performing at the Welk in 1990 and spent most of their 20s onstage at the Escondido theater. In those years, Hickman also worked at the resort’s restaurant, seating theatergoers for lunch and then performing for them an hour later at matinees. “My heart is so sad today,” Hickman said. “When a theater institution like the Welk closes its doors, every corner of our San Diego theater world feels it. This is going to leave a huge hole in the San Diego theater community. Doug and I are both so grateful that we were a part of it and we have those memories.” Kragen writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Let’s Go ‘Bowling’! This culinary trend is right up your alley

sychologically speaking, digging deep into a bowl that artfully blends lean proteins, nutritional grains, roasted roots and assorted greens is more satisfying and appetizing than playing around with food scattered on a plate, or sipping a protein shake through a synthetic straw. The “bowling” trend is here to stay, while transforming the way we eat breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts and snacks.

Dole Bowl

The poke bowl, a classic dish adopted from the Aloha state, is growing in popularity across the mainland. In Hawaiian, “poke” translates to “slice or cut,” referring to the chunks of raw ahi tuna tossed in an umami-flavored sauce, that are layered over a dollop of sushi rice and sprinkled with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. At poke eateries, you concoct a do-it-yourself extravaganza bowl piled high with mounds of assorted fish and seafood (either cooked or raw) from shrimp and octopus to salmon and yellowfin, assorted pickled vegetables, seaweed, edamame, pineapple chunks, marinated heirloom tomatoes, and choice of rice, whether sticky white, brown, red or jade. The bowl is then dressed with a variety of sauces to suit a diversity of taste buds, such as, creamy wasabi, zippy chili, sweet teriyaki, smoky hoison or lip-puckering citrus. Standing advice: Raw fish always carries a risk of containing bacterial microbes and parasites that can cause food poisoning, so only buy from reliable fishmongers, or cook fish thoroughly.

Brazilian Bombshell

The famous acai bowl from Brazil that has gone American mainstream gives a tantalizing and nutritious oomph to breakfast fare and mid-day snacks. The base of the bowl is a creamy blend of vibrant purple acai paste, almond milk, agave syrup or honey, frozen strawberries and bananas. The mixture is then topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas and crunchy granola. Many sweet and silky versions of the acai bowl incorporate tropical fruits (mango, papaya, pineapple, guava, kiwi), non-dairy milks (cashew, coconut, hemp, soy), and bold crunchy components from chia, flax and sunflower seeds to macadamias, pecans, and pistachios.

That’s Greek to Me

A heart-healthy Mediterranean-inspired bowl might include grass-fed grilled lamb chunks or herb-marinated chicken, cubes of goat feta, Kalamata olives, chickpeas, Persian cucumber and red onion slices all tossed in a lemony olive oil dressing or creamy tzatziki (cucumber yogurt sauce). If you’re not gluten sensitive or carb-conscious, add fluffy saffron-infused basmati rice, or strips of pita chips for a sea salty crunch.

South of the Border Bowl

A hot or mild high fiber fiesta bowl blends vibrant southwest flavors. Toss chopped greens

Quinoa Thai Bowl

CATHARINE KAUFMAN

Sweet & Sassy Quinoa Thai Bowl ■ Ingredients: 1 cup cooked quinoa, any variety; 1/2 cup baby broccoli, steamed al dente, chopped; 1 carrot stick, shredded; 2 Persian cucumbers, diced; 1 sweet red pepper, diced; 1/3 cup raw cashews; 1 handful fresh cilantro or mint, chopped. ■ Dressing: Juice and zest from one lime and one tangerine; 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil; 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar; 1-tablespoon low sodium soy sauce; 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom honey; 1-inch piece fresh ginger, shredded; sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste. ■ Method: In a large decorative bowl, blend quinoa, vegetables, nuts and cilantro. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients, and pour into quinoa mixture. Toss well. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serves 2. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

with black or pinto beans, roasted corn and peppers, brown rice, queso fresco crumbles, chunky pico de gallo, avocado slices, and protein of choice, including pulled pork, shredded chicken (organic, where possible), jalapeno-seasoned tofu, or citrus marinated white fish for a dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

A Vegetarian Vessel

Be creative with phyto-rich and hearty carnivorous-free options starting with a heap of ancient grains, whether millet, barley, farro, freekeh or teff, or high-protein cereal grains, including red, brown or black quinoa, or buckwheat. Toss with roasted, caramelized yams, turnips, parsnips or rutabagas to add a sweet dessert-like quality to the bowl, along with nuts of all manners (raw almonds, candied walnuts or pecans, smoky cashews, toasted pepitas). Top with an organic fried egg for a vegetarian breakfast feast.

The Luxury Collection

Place grilled lobster tail chunks over a layer of organic microgreens tossed in a Champagne vinaigrette. Top with rows of chopped red onion, hard-boiled egg, red or black caviar, and a dollop of crème fraiche.

Broncos have a new ‘Dancing With the Teachers’ champion A Michael Jackson medley won the night

ancho Bernardo High School teacher Kurt Trecker captured the grand champion trophy during the campus’ fourth edition of “Dancing With the Teachers.” The good-natured competition last Thursday night paired faculty and staff members with the school’s Tour De Force varsity dancers. In a reversal of roles, the students taught their teachers how to dance. Trophies and bragging rights went to Trecker for coming in

first place for dancing to a medley of Michael Jackson songs with students Alyssa Santos and Niki Wright, who taught him the routine. Also receiving awards were Peter Hawken (runner-up for his “Moana” routine), Mindy Bailey-Bradshaw (best costume for her “SpongeBob Square Pants” outfit) and Joe Eddie Terribilini (People’s Choice Award as determined by audience members voting on Twitter). Several dance styles were featured, including tap, hip hop, musical theater, jazz, breakdancing and jazz funk. Proceeds from the event will go toward new dance team uniforms.

All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as:

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this property.

FRONTLINE CANCER

Cancer Consortium links work of five UC cancer centers BY SCOTT LIPPMAN mong the many ways that cancer can confound successful treatment is its ability to draw upon some of the strengths and defenses of healthy cells and tissues, exploiting them to boost its resistance to therapy and its chances of survival. An unprecedented cancer consortium intends to use that same approach to more effectively address California’s most pressing cancer-related problems and opportunities. The new University of California Cancer Consortium is an alliance of UC’s five cancer centers at UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UCSF and, of course, Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health. These centers all enjoy Comprehensive Cancer Center designation by the National Cancer Institute, which means they represent the leading minds and practices in cancer research, treatment and education. They are home, said UC President Janet Napolitano in a recent news conference announcing the consortium, “to physicians and scientists who are the very best at what they do: care for patients and conduct research that leads to new knowledge that benefits us all.” The need has never been greater. This year, more than 176,000 Californians will be diagnosed with cancer and nearly 60,000 will die from it. The estimated cost burden to the state and its residents is more than $14 billion annually. The consortium represents an effort to leverage the institutional strength of UC’s cancer centers, to produce results that are greater than the sum of its parts. Those parts are impressive. Each year, the five academic medical centers of UC Health provide almost 900,000 days of inpatient care and 4.5 million outpatient visits. UC Health is the state’s fourth-largest healthcare delivery system, with 41,000 employees, including 12,000 nurses. The UC cancer centers treat nearly one in five cancer patients in California. Almost half of these patients are in the late stages of cancer; many with the rarest types that cannot be treated at other hospitals lacking expertise or access to clinical trials using the latest experimental drugs. Last year, UC medical centers conducted more than 1,600 clinical trials, a significant number focused on cancer, that involved more than 29,000 patients. They are moving the most promising treatments closer to federal approval and standard of care for all. The pace of innovation in cancer research and treatment these days is so fast that the best care may be in joining a trial using a drug headed to market. At Moores Cancer Center, we are currently running 300 clinical trials, including groundbreaking investigations involving immunotherapies and other forms of precision medicine. The power and possibility of the cancer consortium are obvious. Its potential is already being realized. Head and neck cancers are among the most difficult of malignancies to treat. They are a challenge compounded by the fact that many types are relatively rare. Individual doctors or centers don’t see many patients, making it difficult to deepen their understanding of the disease or develop new treatments. Recently, Ezra Cohen, M.D., associate director for translational science at Moore Cancer Center and a renowned head and neck cancer specialist, presented early results of a clinical trial at a medical conference in Spain. The trial combines two drugs in a novel way to treat head and neck cancer. The results were promising; the trial is ongoing. The key point is that the trial could not have happened at a single center. In this case, it involves multiple UC cancer centers providing patient-participants and agreeing to abide by the recommendations of MCC’s scientific review committee and institutional review board. This unified, streamlined approach helped convince the pharmaceutical company funding the trial to take the leap. The Cancer Consortium is also uniquely positioned to partner with health insurance plans and employers to provide a seamless statewide program for oncology services. This collaboration will provide patients with cutting-edge care throughout California, including cases where a patient has to relocate within the state during their course of treatment. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His e-mail address is mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Moving your lips while reading

ords are my passion, my work, and my playthings … explaining why I write so much. Drafting columns, web sites, brochures, press releases and marketing strategies are part of my daily routine. And I’m told many folks use this column as a resource for trying their hand at copywriting. To those brave souls I dedicate today’s column, sharing my writing style to help

improve your quality. • Determine the allowable word count or the space to be filled. • Do a brain dump of all your ideas. • Edit, edit, edit until you’re in the right neighborhood. Be open to new ideas, regardless of their source. And remember that merely because it’s your idea doesn’t mean it’s good. The objective, after all, is quality copy.

Ego is irrelevant. Think your copy is near-perfect? Awsome! Now read it aloud to yourself. Okay, it looks silly to the uninitiated, but I’ll guarantee you that hearing it will make you see certain mistakes or inconsistencies that you might not catch from reading the text. Not liking what you’re hearing? Time to rewrite, edit, massage, tweak and read aloud again. Finally, give the finished copy to a friend or associate who fits the profile of your perfect audience member. Ask for honest feedback and listen to it carefully. After all, this person represents your customer. Whether you like what you’ve written is less important than what your customer thinks. Naturally, if your private poll indicates problems with your wording, then it’s time to rewrite and go through the entire process again. This system has worked amazingly well

for me since I started writing in third grade. It’s helped me catch countless mistakes, grammatical and factual. I’ve heard phrases that just sound wrong, and upon further research realized I’d made mistakes. The final result has been all that the world saw, helping to drive customer interest and sales. And two weeks later any frustration or concerns I might have had are long forgotten. Operating this way allows me to turn first drafts from 700 words to final counts of 400. It clarifies ideas, corrects mistakes, and makes one word do the work of six. Naturally, because all the answers aren’t on-line, I keep a dictionary and thesaurus at hand. The results speak for themselves. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Get a professional opinion on your work at www.askmrmarketing.com.

BY EMILY SORENSEN Dealing with back pain and looking for an alternative to surgery? Dr. Nicholas LaHood of the Community Chiropractic Center in Poway can help. Located at 13029 Pomerado Road, Suite A, the Community Chiropractic Center offers chiropractic care and class 4 laser therapy to those with back and neck pain and herniated or degenerative discs. LaHood has been with the center for four years and is one of three chiropractors who works out of the office, along with Drs. Mark Burdett and Richard Doss. The practice also has five massage therapists. “There’s a lot of people to help people get to their health goals,” he said. LaHood’s chiropractic focus is using gentle alternatives to surgery and pain medications, such as his Decompression, Reduction and Stabilization Protocol. This treatment is used to decompress the damaged joint, reduce disc bulge and reduce the amount of pressure on the spinal nerve and spinal cord. A special decompression table is used in the treatment, which LaHood said allows him to so things he could not otherwise with a more typical chiropractic table. “It allows me to help a lot of people I couldn’t with (just) hands-on adjustment,” he said. The practice also uses a deep tissue laser therapy that is used to seal fissures and tears in spinal discs, which can help prevent reoccurring disc bulging. His patients range from older people to high school athletes, he said, and he often works with people in pain management treatment or physical therapy. “I’ve seen an influx (of patients) who are looking for an alternate to surgery or pain medication.” LaHood said he works with several orthopedic, spine and pain management doctors in the area and will refer out any case that he cannot help

with the table or laser treatment. The practice’s dedication to patient safety, continuing education and use of new technology in treatment sets it apart, said LaHood. The different personalities of the various chiropractors and massage therapists also means that they can connect with a variety of patients. The treatments offered by LaHood and the practice also offer patient safety by controlling pain in a way that doesn’t involve prescription pain medication, he said. “Disc herniations are super painful. It’s massive pain. For them to come to a safe place where they will not need back surgery and can get to a stronger place without drugs is our mission.” LaHood has been a chiropractor for about a dozen years, he said. He studied at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa. After having a practice in Florida for five years, he sold it and moved to San Diego to marry, have a family and build a practice here. Community Chiropractic Center is open 9 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. It is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. It is closed Sundays.
