Stadium proposal among 12 on city ballot First five featured this week

World War II “Rosie” visits memorial. A2

50 cents (includes tax) |

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardans and other city residents will be voting on 12 city measures, in addition to two county measures and 16 statewide propositions on their Nov. 8 ballot.

Some city measures — such as C, the downtown stadium initiative — have attracted a lot of attention as supporters and opponents voice their views. Other measures — such as M, which would increase affordable housing in certain areas — have no stated opposition in ballot materials.

Due to space limitations, five are being featured this week, while the remainder will be featured on Oct. 20. Measures are appearing in alphabetical order.

■ Measure C is the downtown stadium initiative.

It needs support from two-thirds (66.7 percent) of voters, though that could be lowered to a majority (more than 50 percent) due to legal issues currently before the California Supreme Court.

Due to the citizen initiative’s length, a supplemental pamphlet with the text is being mailed to voters. It can also be viewed at sdvote.com/en/measure-c.pdf. It was placed on the ballot by the City Council after voter signatures qualified it for the ballot.

Voters are deciding if the city’s hotel occupancy tax should be increased by 6 percent (from 10.5 percent to 16.5 percent) in order to build a city-owned downtown professional football stadium and convention center. Money would also go toward

tourism marketing. The measure requires a $650,000 contribution and 30-year commitment by a professional football entity — the San Diego Chargers are not specifically named, but the team is the measure’s proponent; Tourism Marketing District assessments would end and there would be impacts to land use, sign and zoning laws.

Per the city attorney’s impartial analysis, the citizens’ initiative would amend the city’s Downtown Community Plan and San Diego Municipal Code in order to develop, finance, manage and use a 10-block area east of Petco Park for the 65,000 seat stadium (expandable to 75,000 seats) and 385,000-square-foot convention center separate from the existing center.

It is estimated the facility will cost $1.8 billion, with SEE MEASURES, A11

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardo Senior Services is launching a new quarterly program to help people learn about their medications.

The inaugural “brown bag” medicine check-up will be offered from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26 at the RB Senior Services office. Participants are encouraged to bring all their medications — prescription and over-the-counter — in a bag for privacy reasons, officials said.

The purpose of the free service is “to help ensure the safety of and avoid any potential problems with all the medications a person may be taking,” officials wrote in a press release.

Pharmacist Melek Turgut, pharmacy manager of the CVS Pharmacy in The Plaza, will review each individual’s medications and supplements to make sure the products are being used correctly and all instructions are fully understood.

She will also discuss possible negative effects of mixing multiple medications, possible duplication of therapies and side effects.

“A lot of people use different pharmacies, so they might be taking two of the same types of medication to lower their blood pressure or blood sugar,” she said. “I’ll catch the duplications.”

Turgut said she will also write on the medicine bottles what the medications are prescribed to treat since people sometimes do not know or remember, and include other pertinent information.

“I hear every day from customers that they do not know why they take a medicine,” she said. “A lot of them are elderly ... so it is important for somebody to explain their SEE MEDICATIONS, A10

DNHS makes homecoming change ‘Royality’ to be crowned at Friday night’s game

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Del Norte High is putting a twist on its annual homecoming celebration by changing the composition of its homecoming court.

Instead of crowning a king and queen, and having an even number of male and female students as “couples” represent each class on the court, this year the students decided to nominate their peers who “they felt embodied what it meant to be a Nighthawk,” said ASB Director Jennifer Mitchell.

“The top two, regardless of gender, from

each grade level (freshmen to juniors) will be that grade’s homecoming representatives in the parade and halftime show,” she said. “The top six senior students will represent their class in the parade and the top two will be announced during the halftime show.”

Mitchell said the two seniors will be crowned “homecoming royalty.” Students nominated five senior boys and one senior girl for the honor.

The senior nominees are Bijan Askari, Tyler Barton, Darren Chow, Igor Landa, SEE HOMECOMING, A10

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardo resident Ida Tagliaferri is back from a whirlwind free trip to Washington, D.C., during which she was recognized for her efforts as a World War II “Rosie the Riveter.”

“I was really honored and loved how (trip organizers and others) treated the veterans and me,” she said of the Sept. 29-Oct. 2 trip. “It was fun.”

Rosie the Riveter is a term applied to American women who took traditional male jobs in factories and shipyards during World War II to help in the war effort since the young men who would have been employed in those industries were in the military. Upon the war’s conclusion, most Rosies returned to traditional female employment or stayed home to raise their children.

Tagliaferri said she started working in 1941 at age 16 at Gradinetti Cutlery. The Syracuse, New York, knife factory had been converted into a machine gun parts factory. Following her marriage and Navy husband, Floyd “Tagg” Tagliaferri, being stationed in San Diego, she worked at Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (later Convair), where in its machine shop she fashioned and tooled custom parts from blueprints.

“I was the only woman in the shop,” she said.

“All the men were very nice; a lot older than me because all the younger men were all gone (to the war).”

Once the war ended Tagliaferri said she gave up factory work because “I thought those jobs were supposed to go back to the men. It was not right to take their jobs.”

The couple returned to the East Coast, but by 1953 moved back to San Diego. Ida said she was a waitress at Anthony’s Fish Grotto in La Jolla, worked her way up to manager of its downtown restaurant and eventually supervisor of the chain’s then-seven restaurants. She retired in 1990. Her husband was a wine salesman, later manager of a wine company and eventually opened a deli in Sorrento Valley. They moved to Poway in 1990 and to Rancho Bernardo in 1996, where she still lives.

Her recent trip was through Honor Flight San Diego, a non-profit branch of the national Honor Flight Network, which provides free trips to veterans to the nation’s capital so they can see their World War II Memorial and other landmarks.

During the excursion they are welcomed at various points by those of all ages who thank them

The organization primarily gives trips to World War II veterans, due to their advanced age, though younger veterans — especially those with terminal illnesses — may apply for an Honor Flight so they can visit their war memorial for free.

Each veteran is accompanied by a guardian, who is a non-spouse relative or a stranger who volunteers to help them during the trip. All the honorees’ physical needs are taken care of, including help with wheelchairs and other assistance devices, according to the organization’s website at HonorFlightSanDiego.org.

While not a veteran, Tagliaferri was invited to go on the trip because the organization is starting to expand its eligibility criteria, said her daughter, Poway resident Elaine Tagliaferri, who served as her mother’s guardian. All guardians pay for their portion of the trip.

“Years ago we applied for my dad, but there was such a (long) wait list, that by the time he was picked he was not able to go,” she said. Her father died in 2013.

He was on the USS St. Louis in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941. He was later sent to the Marshall and Gilbert islands before returning stateside, eventually stationed at a navy base in San Diego’s Birdrock community (La Jolla area) to train officers on anti-aircraft guns, his widow said.

Their daughter said she recently read about a group of 80 Rosies in another city that went on an Honor Flight so she inquired with the San Diego group to see if it too would take a Rosie. Her mother, now 91, is a member of the American SEE ROSIE, A18

100-year-old Poway resident Virginia Rowe with her daughters Teresa Podimatis and Gwen Marandola.

Poway’s Virginia Rowe reflects on centenniel

BY EMILY SORENSEN Poway resident Virginia Rowe is celebrating her 100th birthday on Saturday and she has some advice for everyone: stop worrying so much.

Rowe, a resident at the Boulder Creek Post Acute care center in Poway, will be celebrating her centennial with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She said she was looking forward to her party and seeing family members, many of whom are coming from out of state for the event.

Her advice for making it to 100 years old is “Don’t worry about anything.”

Rowe was born Oct. 15, 1916 in Detroit, Michigan.

She was an only child with an overprotective mother, she said. “My mother wouldn’t let me off the porch,” said Rowe.

“I wasn’t allowed out of her sight.”

She said that as an only child, she had to keep herself entertained. She took up making paper dolls and tatting (making knotted lace by hand) and began playing the piano at age 8.

She said was a good student who skipped at least one grade and would play the piano for her classmates on rainy days

“

Don’t worry about anything.

”

Virginia Rowe Poway resident on life

so they could dance.

She married and had five children, four girls and a boy, with her husband, who served in the army. “I wanted a big family because I always wanted brothers,” she said.

“My mother wanted six sons and she got four girls,” said her daughter, Gwen Marandola.

Rowe’s life took a turn when her husband died when she was 45. Rowe was left to raise five children alone. She never remarried.

“The Lord knew what he was doing when he gave me one son,” said Rowe.

“It was harder to raise a boy as a single mother.”

Marandola and her sister, Teresa Podimatis, said that their mother went back to work and never complained. “She did whatever she could to

support the family,” said Podimatis. “She did Kelly Girl (a temporary staffing agency), she sold soap.”

Rowe also kept busy giving back to her community. She was a Girl Scout leader, volunteered at her church, did voting polls and counted ballots and started a toy drive. “I enjoyed volunteering,” said Rowe. “I wanted to stay busy. I wanted to keep helping others. I could have been very lonely if I worried about things and cried because something wasn’t right, but I kept myself busy.”

Rowe even kept volunteering in her 80s, reading to those who couldn’t.

“She’s still teaching me patience and how to age gracefully,” said Podimatis.

At Boulder Creek, she plays bingo and loves the Padres, her daughters said.

“Her mind is still sharp,” said Marandola. “She loves jokes and riddles.”

Between Marandola, Potimatis and her three other children, Cheryl, Mary and Bill Rowe, Rowe has nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Rowe said she “hoped she was still alive” to celebrate her 105th birthday with her family.

Poway Unified candidates share views on issues

BY EMILY SORENSEN On Nov. 8 voters will choose two candidates among a field of nine competing for two seats on the Poway Unified School District Board of Education.

Incumbent Kimberley Beatty will face eight challengers. The two candidates receiving the most votes will win four-year terms on the five-person board.

The candidates have already participated in two public forums and there are more upcoming, including one being held by the Rancho Bernardo Community Council at 6:30 p.m.

Monday at the Rancho Bernardo Library. Stories about the two previous forums can be found at pomeradonews.com.

Five of the nine candidates are profiled here in alphabetical order. The remaining candidates will be profiled next week.

Nick Anastasopolous Nick Anastasopolous said that he wants to help unify the PUSD board and the district’s administration if elected.

Anastasopolous said he hopes to create a more open and trusting relationship with board members and ensure the board’s focus is on the students. “We have to understand that we are here serving the community and our children,” he said. “As long as that is the focus we should be on the right path to teamwork.”

The ultimate goal of bringing unity to the board is to regain the trust of the community, Anastasopolous said. “The district has lost some of its status as the finest district in the state,” he said. “With some cooperative effort, this can be regained. I will continue to build positive relationships and open communication.”

Nick Anastasopolous

Kimberley Beatty

Debra Cooper

Since the new board members will have a say in the hiring of the district’s new superintendent Anastasopolous said he believes that “the new superintendent should be a strong leader who can command the respect of his or her teams and have a vision for the future to build upon what this district has accomplished so far.”

He also said he felt that the public should be involved in the selection and his role as a board member would be to listen to community members and key members of PUSD staff to make an informed decision about the new superintendent.

Anastasopolous, 66, lives in Rancho Bernardo and is the owner of Athens Market Café in Carmel Mountain Ranch. While he has never held public office, he has been involved with PUSD for more than 20 years in various ways,

including serving as president of the Rancho Bernardo High School Foundation for several years, where he helped raise over $200,000 a year to fund programs and facilities for students, including the construction of the press box.

He also was president of the Rancho Bernardo Aquatics Foundation and helped get the pool and all-weather track built at RBHS, he said.

One of his most rewarding accomplishments, he said, was being president of the San Diego North Character Counts! foundation. “I was very instrumental in bringing this great program to the district and securing the funding to sustain it,” he said.

Kimberley Beatty Kimberley Beatty is seeking a second four-year term on the board, where she said she will bring her depth of knowledge, her dedication and her

experience.

If re-elected, Beatty said her priorities would be to continue to clean up financial mismanagement, address structural deficit and internal control problems, increase middle and high school career pathway programs and online courses, and address the district’s achievement gap.

“When I entered office four years ago the community was angry about the near billion dollar capital appreciation bond and demanded accountability. I challenged an entrenched power structure as I fought to implement competitive business practices and end decades of no-bid contracts. I championed responsible governance and fiscal oversight in order to maximize the community’s funds that directly benefit our students,” said Beatty. “Now, exciting and positive change is moving Poway Unified towards becoming a model 21st century school district and I would like to continue leading that charge.”

Beatty cited her experience, her depth of knowledge and her dedication as reasons for why she should be reelected, including previously serving as board president and as board representative for several organizations, including the Poway Chamber of Commerce, California Association of Large Suburban Schools, the county Board of Education and more. “I have a proven record of accomplishments, including successfully advocating for lowered class sizes and increasing funding for robotics, PE, visual and performing arts, counselors, libraries, career pathway SEE PUSD, A12

An example of the handmade Halloween decorations available during the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church Preschool’s craft fair.

RBCPC Preschool is holding 30th annual craft fair

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK An assortment of Halloween, fall and Christmas decorations, plus homemade baked goods and gourmet food vendors will be featured at Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church Preschool’s 30th annual craft fair.

The event will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the church, 17010 Pomerado Road. Admission is free. On Friday there will also be a children’s carnival from 5 to 7 p.m. and on Saturday the children’s musical group Hullabaloo will entertain attendees starting at 10 a.m.

More than 60 professional crafters will be selling their creations during the event that benefits the preschool and its programs.

According to organizers, more than 1,200 people are expected to attend and the event will likely exceed last year’s total gross sales of over $44,000.

“The proceeds benefit the children of the multi-denominational early education program through the purchase of classroom materials and playground equipment,” according to a press release. “In past years, this fundraiser has financed the upgrading of two main play structures, installation of shade covering, upgrades and improvements to playground equipment, purchasing of technology for the classrooms and remodeling of the preschool grounds.”

This year’s proceeds will be going toward purchasing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) materials to promote hands-on

learning, officials said. It will also be going toward salaries for aides for special needs students and scholarships for low-income students, said parent Kate Dokmo.

While Dokmo said she does not have a special needs child, one of her favorite aspects of the school is its focus on offering preschool age children with special needs the same opportunities as those without.

“Each special needs child, no matter the severity, is given any equipment necessary and placed in a classroom with kids without those needs so that they can participate in a normal school environment and have the experiences that every parent wants for their child,” Dokmo said. “Each special needs child has their own aide in the classroom so that they get one-on-one hands on help whenever they need it without taking the teacher’s attention away from the other kids. These aides are provided at no additional cost to the parents, through the fundraising efforts throughout the year.

“Having children with special needs in the classroom has shown to be advantageous for both the children with extra needs and the children without them. ... I love that (my child) is growing and learning with children that are different than him and has the compassion and patience to interact with children who are different and knows that special needs children are a normal part of his life.”

For information about the preschool, go to rbcpcpreschool.org or call 858-487-0824.

Bernardo Winery’s craft fair returns this weekend

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Bernardo Winery’s 39th annual fall arts and crafts fair is returning this weekend.

It will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the winery, 13330 Paseo del Verano Norte, Rancho Bernardo.

Admission, parking and shuttle service are free.

There will be more than 125 Southern California artisans and crafters selling their handmade items, plus a variety of foods and live music.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) — A Mission Viejo man who robbed a Rancho Bernardo post office at gunpoint was sentenced Oct. 7 to 14 years in federal prison.

Scott Howard Kimball, 50, was convicted a year ago for the Jan. 21, 2015, crime.

“Today's sentence should send a clear message. The Postal Inspection Service will not tolerate attacks on our facilities,” said Los Angeles Postal Inspector in Charge Robert Wemyss. “A large part of the Postal Inspection Service mission is assuring the safety of postal employees and we want them to have confidence that they can focus on their duties,” he said. “These types of crimes are rare, but when they do occur, they become top priority for us.”

Kimball was well-disguised in a baggy hooded sweatshirt, shorts, long socks, gloves and black face paint as he entered

Jake Moore and Sienna Sacramento.

The other students nominated to the homecoming court are juniors Bella Isaac and Brendan Togni, sophomores Maddie Harris and Daniel Kermani, and freshmen Meera Parlikar and Juliette Zamoyski.

As for the theme of this year’s festivities, it is “Pure Imagination,” based off of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Mitchell said.

To show their “Pure Imagination” today (Thursday) they were to wear wacky attire or hats and on Friday they will don their school colors of blue and green for spirit day.

The school’s annual parade on the streets surrounding the 4S Ranch campus will begin at 11:50 a.m. Friday.

The community is welcome to join the students in watching the procession of class floats and other parade entries.

On Friday night the varsity football game will begin at 7 p.m. in the Del Norte Stadium, 16601 Nighthawk Lane, when Del Norte faces off against Escondido High School. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children.

The Nighthawks will conclude their festivities with a dance in the school gym on Saturday night.

www.pomeradonews.com FROM MEASURES, A1 the Chargers and NFL providing $650 million, the estimated stadium construction cost. The city’s transient occupancy tax is projected to pay the $200 million needed for land acquisition, $600 million for convention center construction and $350 million for construction of the integrated joint use portion. These amounts are estimates and could be higher.

Proponents, including former mayor and now San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Jerry Sanders, say the complex will be “more than a football stadium” since it will be a multi-use facility that will serve as an expanded convention center, Chargers stadium and “world-class” events center. They claim “no new or increased taxes will be imposed on San Diego residents” since it is hotel taxes paid by visitors that will fund what the Chargers and NFL does not. They also say no money will come from the city’s general fund.

Opponents, including City Councilmen David Alvarez and Chris Cate, call it “a bad deal for San Diego.” They say it raises taxes by more than $1 billion, which should be spent on street repairs, safety and after-school programs. They say it does not require any new parking or traffic improvements, cite independent analyses that project the public contribution to be $2.3 billion over 30 years since the proposed hotel tax increase might not cover costs, and claim the measure threatens San Diego’s tourism economy and jobs.

■ Measure D, also placed on the ballot by the City Council after voter signatures qualified it, would increase San Diego’s hotel occupancy tax up to 5 percent, end the Tourism Marketing District, let hoteliers create assessment districts and use the generated taxes for a downtown

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - PAGE A11

convention center, but not a stadium. It would prohibit a contiguous expansion of the existing convention center, create a downtown overlay zone for convention and sports facilities and allow the 166-acre city-owned Qualcomm stadium property to be sold for educational and park uses.

It needs support from two-thirds (66.7 percent) of voters, though that threshold could be lowered to a majority (more than 50 percent) due to legal issues currently before the California Supreme Court. Due to its length, the text is being included in a supplemental pamphlet and can be viewed at sdvote.com/en/measure-d.pdf.

Proponents, including former City Councilwoman Donna Frye and state Senator Marty Block, say the city’s hotel tax rate is below rates charged by competing cities. This results in higher hotel profits while the tourism industry “escapes paying its fair share for streets, sidewalks, public safety and other amenities that serve visitors and are important to our quality of life.” They also claim it will protect local resources, prevent a 6,000-unit condo plan and prevent taxpayer money going to a stadium and arena.

Opponents, including City Councilman Scott Sherman and San Diego County Taxpayers Association Chairman Greg Stein, say it could affect Comic-Con remaining in San Diego because the organization supports a contiguous, expanded convention center, which the measure “specifically prohibits.”

They say it will eliminate the Tourism Marketing District which promotes the city and brings in tourists from around the world, has been “crafted in secret by special interests, a few self-serving hoteliers and downtown insiders” and puts taxpayers at risk due to the likely years of legal challenges.

the City Attorney’s office remains independent and non-political.” It is supported by the City Council, Deputy City Attorney’s Association, San Diego County Taxpayers Association and League of Women Voters. No opposition argument was filed with the city clerk.

■ Measure G is a charter amendment that, if passed, would rename the Citizens’ Review Board on Police Practices to the Community Review Board on Police Practices, replace references to “city manager” with “mayor and city council,” and require the board to review all deaths occurring while someone is in the custody of the San Diego Police Department and all police-related shootings.

It requires more than 50 percent support to pass.

According to ballot information, the board was created in 1988 to independently review and evaluate citizen complaints against members of the SDPD and its administration of discipline arising from such complaints. The board presently reviews in-custody deaths and officer-related shootings by agreement with SDPD. The measure would require such reviews.

Mayor Kevin Faulconer and City Councilmembers Todd Gloria and Myrtle Cole are among its proponents. They claim it “will increase public confidence in government and the accountability of law enforcement by conducting impartial and independent investigations of citizen complaints of misconduct concerning the San Diego Police Department.”

They also say it will improve communication between the department and community, increase police accountability and credibility with the public, and create a transparent complaint review process that is free from bias and informed of actual police practices.

CAPITOL STEPS

■ Measure E is a charter amendment regarding qualifications, vacancy and removal for mayor, city attorney and council. It can pass with over 50 percent of voter support.

Its provisions include a requirement that the city attorney have been licensed to practice law in California for 10 years when seeking office; details who performs which duties, including when an elective office is vacant; adds felony conviction and physical or mental incapacity as new grounds for vacancy; adds a section providing for the removal of elective officers for dereliction of duty or malfeasance in office by special election; and provides a uniform procedure for filling vacancies for the above named offices.

Per the city attorney’s impartial analysis, “This measure was drafted after the San Diego County Grand Jury issued a report outlining the San Diego Charter’s lack of a procedure to remove elective officers, other than by voter-initiated recall.”

Measure E is unanimously supported by the City Council, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters and San Diego County Taxpayers Association. No arguments against it were filed with the city clerk.

■ Measure F is a charter amendment that would reduce the number of years of service necessary before a deputy city attorney can only be terminated or suspended for good cause, with certain charter-listed exceptions. It needs more than 50 percent to pass.

The “good cause” protection would be lowered from two years to one and does not apply to layoffs due to lack of work or lack of funding. It was proposed by the City Council.

Proponents, including Council President Sherri Lightner, say Measure F “will help attract and retain good lawyers for the city by ensuring

FROM PUSD, A4 programs and other student programs,” she said.

Beatty said she was proud of her colleagues and the entire board for remaining unified in taking action while faced with some of the most difficult and challenging decisions any school board has to make. “We were 100 percent unified in hiring our own lawyer, investigating the former superintendent, placing him on administrative leave, and finally terminating him and seeking legal action to recover misappropriated funds. While outsiders made loud judgments and pronouncements, our board forged ahead with this important work,” said Beatty.

Beatty, 49, lives in Sabre Springs. She has also served on the PTA boards at Creekside Elementary, Black Mountain Middle and Mt. Carmel High schools, and was legislation chair for the Palomar Council PTSA. Debra Cooper Debra Cooper said that if elected to the board she will work to forge a strong governance team with the new superintendent, insure that a proposed business audit is completed and return PUSD to its original mission of student learning.

“The board’s energy and focus needs to return to student learning. I will help facilitate that change by engaging with our schools and community in ways that have been missing the last several years,” said Cooper.

Cooper said she decided to run for a board seat because she believes in elevating public education and that every student deserves the opportunity to achieve their personal best. She said she is also “deeply disheartened” by ongoing discord in PUSD’s leadership. “Not only does it detract from important conversations about student learning, it has become a public embarrassment that has damaged PUSD’s

reputation, affects our ability to hire good teachers and can hurt our property values. I will end that,” she said.

She said the board’s focus needs to return to student learning and that she can help facilitate that by engaging with schools and the community using her experience of over a decade as an active volunteer at PUSD schools.

“I’d like the board to be regarded as a thoughtful group that works collaboratively and effectively through tough issues. I’d like the district to be regarded as future-focused on student learning, and a leader in among school districts in the nation and I believe that my professional and volunteer leadership experiences make me uniquely qualified to achieve these results for Poway Unified,” Cooper said.

Cooper said qualities she would like to see in the new superintendent include being future-focused with a clear educational perspective; exhibiting identifiable integrity, proven team-building and management skills; and is an experienced community-builder.

Cooper, 51, lives in Santaluz and describes herself as a professional volunteer and freelance research analyst. In addition to being a school volunteer, Cooper has also served on three school site councils and on several district-wide committees.

Jimmy Karam Jimmy Karam said he will restore relations and confidence with PUSD stakeholders and take steps to implement a K-12 computer science program if elected. “(The) PUSD school board’s decisions have embarrassed this community long enough. I’m more than qualified (to serve on the board), and I have a great deal of value to add. Furthermore, I bring honor, integrity and solid leadership to the table,” said Karam about why he is running.

Karam said he believes leadership is a problem on the board. “(The) PUSD school board has continuously made poor business decisions that have and will continue to cost us all millions. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about the capital appreciation bonds or the former superintendent fiasco. I truly believe a number of embarrassing moments over the years could have been avoided if the citizens of PUSD felt someone from the leadership was willing to listen to them,” he said.

In addition to bringing leadership skills to the board, Karam said he also brings business and financial management skills. Karam is a retired naval supply officer who served over 20 years and has expertise in academic and operational administration, contracts/system acquisitions and budget/financial management. “I am a proven leader with a strong background in business disciplines coupled with people skills and a passion for leadership and education,” he said.

Karam said he is also interested in bringing a K-12 computer science program to PUSD. “Our nation is far behind the power curve when it comes to computer science. Chemistry and calculus used to be the toughest courses, but now it’s computer science. With the cyber threats that exist today, we cannot afford to be behind any longer. Innovation no longer happens in the steel mills, it no longer happens in the coal mines or strawberry fields. Innovation will continue to happen behind a computer screen. It’s the innovation that affects all types of interests like music, science and sports. It impacts all of us. I would love nothing more than to see PUSD lead the country in this initiative,” he said.

Karam, 42, lives in Poway. This is his first time running for public office.

John “Chas” Moriarty John “Chas” Moriarty said he will focus on education and bringing the board together if

elected.

“If elected, I feel that I can bring a deep understanding of student learning and assessment and the understanding of a strong educational structure so that all students will have the opportunity to thrive. I also believe that I can help bring respect and civility back to the board and bring back the focus to students and student achievement,” said Moriarty.

He said that his top priorities, if elected, will be to ensure that all students have equal access to learning, to improve the leadership of the district by hiring a strong superintendent and bringing the board’s focus back to students, and to make sure that sound educational priorities are established with a limited budget.

“The most important thing that needs to be changed on the board is their lack of direction and loss of focus. I will help bring the discussion back to the students through respectful discourse,” said Moriarty.

Moriarty is a retired educator and said that he feels his experience in education can help the board. “I strongly believe that the board needs to have a member that has a proven record for educational leadership and who understands curriculum, assessments and educational budgets,” he said.

In addition, Moriarty, 69 and a Poway resident for nearly 30 years, has volunteered extensively in the district for over 18 years, he said. Moriarty designed and taught an art program at Tierra Bonita Elementary School for seven years, ran the multicultural fair at Twin Peaks for five years, served on several school site committees and district advisory committees, and has continued to volunteer at Valley and Pomerado elementary schools following his retirement.

Moriarty said he has also mentored new teachers and teachers working on their certification to work with autistic students.

How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.

Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.

Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones.

We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.

The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones.

These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.

Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.

This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.

Hearing Problem #3 The Cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.

Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.

About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

EDITORIAL

Does Poway need a planning board?

N

ine of the 10 candidates running for Poway City Council have declared their support for the creation of a city planning board.

The question of whether the city needs a board was raised at the Oct. 5 forum sponsored by the Poway Chamber of Commerce and the Green Valley Civic Association. It was one of three questions asked of the assembled candidates.

The nine supporters each gave variations of the same response; a planning board would give residents more opportunities to comment on pending land use matters such as proposed development projects and rezonings. Several said such a board would also be a good training ground for future councilmembers.

All true. However, we’re not completely sold on the idea.

Poway became a city in 1980. The incorporation drive was fueled by a growing dissatisfaction with land use decisions being made downtown by the county Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. When it came time to design a local government for Poway, a planning board was deliberately left out of the process. The thought was that the new City Council should have the direct say in planning matters without a planning board serving an intermediately function.

Not having a planning board, although somewhat unique in municipal frameworks, has worked well for Poway.

As appointed Councilman Barry Leonard pointed out at the forum, Poway is essentially built out. There aren’t many large parcels left to develop into subdivisions or large commercial projects. Most of the planning matters coming before the council these days involve minor development reviews, variances and conditional use permits. Once in a while the council will get into larger projects, as it is now doing with the Habitat for Humanity’s veterans housing development on Twin Peaks Road and the Villa de Vida apartments for adults with disabilities on Oak Knoll Road. But these are more the exception than the rule.

The interest in creating a planning board seems to be based, at least in part, in the perception that the public isn’t being given appropriate notice of significant projects. In response, it should be noted that while state law requires noticing of property owners within 300 feet, Poway extends the notice range to 500 feet. In areas where there are apartments and retail centers, the city takes the additional step of sending notices to renters and tenants. (Mailing a notice to everyone in the city about major planning matters would cost about $10,000 each time.)

For anyone living beyond the 500-foot range, there’s always the council agenda and related staff reports that are posted online at Poway.org a week before a scheduled council meeting. It’s easy to sign up and receive emailed notifications when the agenda and reports are posted.

A planning board for the city might seem like a good idea at first blush, but we doubt the panel would be very busy and its presence would be contrary to a founding principle of the city.

OUR READERS WRITE YMCA is a business I am writing to express my concern about the prospect of the City of Poway entering into a partnership with the San Diego YMCA in order to split the estimated $20 million cost for a new community center.

The YMCA is a powerful, well-established national organization and it definitely expects to receive reimbursement for any money it invests in the initial construction and interest on its investment.

Currently, the city furnishes services to Poway residents and neighboring communities at very affordable prices. In order to use the YMCA facilities and participate in activities, there is an initial membership fee, a monthly fee and participants pay again for many of the activities.

How long will the YMCA take profits from the city’s revenue? Will it be just a couple of years, or will we be linked to the YMCA forever more?

Our current senior center may not be the most modern, but neither are the people who use it.

However, they do get personal attention in a hometown atmosphere.

The first obligation of the YMCA is to stay in business and to continue to grow. The first obligation of the city’s Community Services Department is to provide quality services and activities that all of our citizens can afford.

I urge the Poway City Council to build a community center that we can afford and keep our independence.

Joseph Wolpert Poway

More murals, please I've lived in Poway over 45 years. I realized early on that Poway was a special place. Over time it has grown from the 28,000 population.

I watched a smart group of citizens respond to thoughtless development fostered by San Diego

County with a timely vote to incorporate as a city.

Good move.

The early leaders sought to make Poway Road more than just a mile of fast food. It was quite a sight. There was even a “full on” billboard towering over Pic-N-Chicken, which was painted blue plaid. Since then, city has worked hard to camouflage asphalt parking lots with trees, medians and foliage.

The city has just embarked on yet another “Poway Road Plan.” The present “beige concept” hardly displays any style.

Tromp l’oeil (murals that look realistic) is an art form. The recent squabble regarding a marvelous tromp l'oeil mural at WOW Auto Service disappoints. I, for one, believe it brings a bit of “whimsy” to the road. It is truly a bit of folk art. It is unobtrusive, unlike the unsightly Honda dealership.

Rather than paint it over, the “Poway Road Plan” group might consider more tromp l'oeil. As the collection grows, Poway would gain a reputation that would bring the curious to “cruise” Poway Road. This would be truly unique in San Diego County, if not the state. Good move.

Hotel water use?

Measure W, which would allow a large hotel on the Maderas golf course, is intriguing.

First, it is being actively endorsed by former Mayor Don Higginson because, as he says, it will be a nice place for weddings and will contribute tax dollars to Poway even though Poway has always been able to balance the budget and is not desperate for tax revenues.

He mentions there will not be a negative impact on traffic, noise or safety, but fails to mention the huge impact it will have on our water supply. How much water will be needed and will Poway SEE LETTERS, A19

Au Contraire

BY AMY ROOST

Showing up in difficult times

M

y 22-year old son, Spencer, has been in an intensive care unit in Seattle for the past 39 days after suffering two cerebral hemorrhages and undergoing multiple surgeries. His dad, older brother and I have been at his bedside during this entire time witnessing his recovery and being on the receiving end of the grace and generosity of others.

Despite our family’s personal tragedy, we’ve been living in the “thin place,” a Celtic term referring to times when we are jolted out of the way we see the world and where heaven and earth come closer.

During this teachable moment, I’ve come to appreciate what it means to "show up" for someone who is going through a difficult time. For example, when I first arrived in Seattle, I had no place to stay. A friend of mine sent word to a friend of hers in Seattle that she had a friend whose son was in the hospital who was looking for accommodations.

My friend’s friend asked another friend who was out of town if she’d be willing to let me use her house as a crash pad.

And that’s how I came to stay at a friend of a friend of a friend’s (whom I’d never met) house. When it was clear I’d be in Seattle longer than a week, the friend of my friend then offered me her guest room which is where I’ve been staying ever since.

My best friend flew in from the East Coast with five tubs of homemade cookies in hand, intended for the nurses and doctors who are caring for Spencer.

My inbox and Facebook page are flooded with prayers and well wishes. My co-workers send daily inspirational messages. My stepdaughter designed a “Team Spencer” T-shirt that sold like hotcakes. A young man from Poway, who now lives in Seattle and who Spencer had known since kindergarten, came by the hospital on his way home from work to pay his respects, even though he hasn’t seen or spoken to Spencer in years.

Based on these and many other examples set by family and friends, I’ve compiled a list of dos and don’ts for showing up when someone you care

about is experiencing a personal crisis or tragedy: ■ Do visit the person at their home or hospital (be sure to call first. Spencer’s friends arrived in droves the days after his hospitalization. They stood - at first awkwardly - at Spencer’s bedside while he was in a coma and talked to him about their memories with Spencer, their work, school, the latest bike trail they’d ridden, etc. While Spencer may not have been entirely aware of who specifically was there, I’m certain he felt the love that surrounded him, as did I. ■ Do think of the person’s needs. My high school classmates sent an edible bouquet to the hospital. One of Spencer’s roommates brought a sheet pan of homemade lasagna. Both were well received given the temptation to live off vending machine and cafeteria food while in a hospital.

■ Do offer help with banal tasks such as watering plants, paying bills, walking the dog, doing the dishes. Small daily tasks are often overlooked when a person is in shock.

■ Do, if you can afford it, arrange for a relaxing indulgence for your friend who is providing the care giving. It’s true what they say on airplanes: You can only help others if you take care of yourself first.

The friends who’ve purchased massages, facials, and mani-pedis for me understand these gifts are actually for Spencer.

■ Don’t go empty handed. Even the smallest gesture can carry significant meaning and ease a burden for the recipient. Each time Spencer’s friends and roommates make the 85-mile trek to the

hospital from Spencer’s hometown of Bellingham, they call from the road to see if there is anything they can pick up for me or for Spencer.

One day, I asked two of them to stop and get some tactile toys for Spencer who was fidgety and seemed to be enjoying different textures. They arrived with an assortment of feathered cat toys and squeaky dog toys, as well as a fidget "toy" that Spencer’s roommate and mountain biking buddy constructed - a handle bar with textured grips and a gear shift that kept Spencer’s hands and imagination busy. A friend of mine brought sandwiches, cookies, red wine and energy drinks, all of which fulfilled a particular need during the long waiting-room hours.

A family friend brought a bag of Boy Scout chocolate caramel corn, yet another, a chess board, both of which served as a stress relievers during one of Spencer’s longer surgeries.

■ Don’t disappear. In Spencer’s case, we’re running a marathon not a sprint and we'll need sustained support from family and friends, not just a single drive-by hospital visit or obligatory phone call.

Finally, don’t make a grand heroic gesture or share your own hospital or medical horror stories. Be still and be humble. Hold the other person’s hand and just listen as the other person's thoughts and emotions arise and pass away. Who knows maybe you too shall enter into thin place and touch the edge of Heaven.

FROM ROSIE, A2 Rosie the Riveter Association. With space available, Ida received an invitation to be the only Rosie on the trip. Several female veterans were also selected.

“What I liked most was the compassion for the veterans,” Ida said. “All the people, without exception, treated them like kings. It was very rewarding to see that. ... The volunteers were really wonderful.”

While mother and daughter had visited

Washington, D.C. before, it was prior to the World War II Memorial’s opening in 2004. “It was absolutely gorgeous and very moving,” Ida said of the memorial.

The itinerary also included going to Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, U.S. Navy Yard Museum and Korean War Veterans Memorial.

“At the Navy museum a (female) admiral sought her out ... as did some volunteers who were

relatively young women,” Elaine said. “At the airport a couple women with Girl Scout troops wanted a picture with her. They were seeking (mom) out as a woman role model.”

Elaine said that as a guardian she found it “fascinating to hear the stories (of the veterans).

There were a couple of POWs and they definitely have an interesting perspective.”

She said her parents, like many reportedly of their generation, did not talk a lot about their wartime experiences while she was growing up. It

was not until she was working on a graduate school history project that her father spoke about Pearl Harbor with her.

Elaine said the trip volunteers were “very inquisitive” about their elders’ experiences, which helped them as a group share their memories with the younger generations.

“I glad (Honor Flight volunteers) were able to make (the trip) happen,” she said. “Honor Flight relies completely on donations and it is a worthwhile cause.”

She attended Pomona College and, following graduation in 1946, went to work for her father at the Industrial Post in Bell. working as a bookkeeper, she met Bill Brehm, a Navy Air Corps veteran who was laboring as a printer’s devil in the pressroom.

Mona and Bill Brehm were married in 1947, and Mona began her life as a homemaker, mother and volunteer.

By 1971, amidst changes in the family company and the world of newspapers, Mona returned to the business, by then owned by her and her husband.

She was the company’s first trainee in the new Compugraphic typesetting machines that were sparking a revolution in the way newspapers were created. Bill Brehm Sr. would later say that he asked Mona to take on the job because she was the only person he trusted absolutely.

The employees always came first to Mona and as a result she created the profit-sharing program in 1973. For more than 40 years, she was the plan administrator, dedicated to making sure the company’s workers could build up savings and security for their future.

Under Mona and Bill’s coownership, the company grew, adding newspapers, printing facilities and also a real estate division. Mona helped lead the way, serving as corporate secretary of Brehm Communications’ corporations.

“Over the years, Mona inspired so many, and was a driving force behind BCI’s success,” COO Tom Kirk said

It is intriguing because the City Council, our elected leaders, have not taken a position on this issue and City Manager Tina White reports the city has not conducted any analyses on the possibility of a hotel at Maderas. With absolutely no details we will have to vote blind and, if approved, let the council do as it may and hope for the best.

It’s strange the council has spent so much time and money on affordable housing for approximately 50-60 veterans, yet has ignored a multi-million dollar hotel that will bring in hundreds of guest, not including employees.

Broncos, Titans still undefeated; 3 games left before showdown

BY MICHAEL BOWER The dream scenario for the community is still in line after both Poway High and Rancho Bernardo picked up huge victories last week to remain unbeaten.

The two 6-0 squads are both heavily favored to win their next three games before meeting in the regular-season finale at Poway on Nov. 4. It would be the first time Poway and Rancho Bernardo meet while being undefeated and, of course, it would be for the Palomar League title.

But, as coaches like to say, one game at a time.

The Broncos start a stretch of three straight games at home with Vista Friday night at 7. Poway will host Westview and Del Norte looks to get back in the win column against Escondido.

Maranatha Christian is set to host Tri-City Christian in a rare Saturday game at 3 p.m.

Here is a closer look at this week’s games:

Palomar League Westview (1-5, 0-2) at No. 7 Poway (6-0, 2-0) , Friday at 7 p.m..

Last week: Westview lost to Ramona 35-21; Poway

beat Mt. Carmel 42-28 Notes: First-year Wolverines coach Kyle Williams goes up against the high school he graduated from and his brother, Brett Williams, who is the defensive coordinator and safety’s coach for the Titans … It has been a rough season thus far for Kyle, whose Wolverines have dropped five straight after winning the season opener against Fallbrook. It will not be any easier with Poway and then RB up next. The offense has struggled, getting blanked three straight weeks before putting up 21 points in last week’s loss to Ramona … The last time the Titans were 6-0 they went undefeated and won a Division I championship.

Poway is in Division II this year and is currently tied for the top spot in the Power Rankings with Mater Dei Catholic. The offensive line and Jared Adelman continue to shine, while QB Tristan Hughes has been showing he can provide a strong passing game when it is needed. He connected with Saimon Georgari, Chris Butler, Noah Araujo and Adelman for TDs last week, as Poway again won the annual Kiwanis Cup game. Adelman finished with 180 yards on 27 carries … Expect Poway to get out to a big lead early before letting off the gas.

WE NOW WORK ON MOST MAKES & MODELS

BY TERRY MONAHAN The Poway boys cross country team competed last season in October in the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto.

With most of the same runners back this year, they wanted to try something new, maybe even get out of California for a weekend.

Coach Bruce Jackson obliged, signing the Titans up for the Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational in Seattle.

He had a warning, though.

“I told them the weather, in October, will most likely be less than great,’’ he said. “You’ll see the weather the rest of the country runs cross country in.’’

Jackson, who grew up in Seattle and ran at the University of Washington, was very prophetic.

On the day of the invitational, the Titans - the boys and girls team - arose to find it raining, and raining hard.

“I wanted them to see what real weather looks like,’’ Jackson said. “Most of the world doesn’t have Poway weather. I wanted them to see everything. Got my wish.’’

The Titans, however, ran like they were back home, winning the 5,000-meter run team title with 169 points followed by

Glacier Peak with 192 and Camas with 197.

“As with most races we came out kind of passive,’’ Jackson said. “At the mile mark, we were behind as a team, but we made up a lot of ground in that last mile.’’

Poway’s girls wound up 12th.

Katie Downs topped the team by placing 48th in 19:30.6 followed by teammate Alex Calegari at 30th in 19:32.4.

Jarett Chinn was Poway’s top finisher, grabbing ninth in a time of 16-minutes, 1.6-seconds, a school record.

Michael Downs was next at 27th in 16:23.4 with Tyler Neal in 33rd with a personal best of 16:31.3. Gavin Blain was 48th in 16:40.4, also a personal best.

The same for Cameron Hirsch at 67th in 16:57 and Zack Kraft at 83rd in 17:07.8 and Kyle Kesler at 93rd in 17:14.5.

“Chinn had a great race,’’ Jackson said. “There were a couple of Foot Locker finalists in the field too.

“The biggest surprise was Gavin Blain. He ran very well.’’

Jackson also arranged for the Titans to take a two-hour tour of the University of Washington athletic facilities as well.

Despite the horrible race conditions, the Titans may SEE WASHINGTON, B4

Athlete of the Week

McKirdy's charisma helps drive Del Norte High

BY TERRY MONAHAN Football is the most important thing in Scott McKirdy’s life.

The senior middle linebacker treats the game as a full-time job and then draws on that experience for different phases of his life away from football.

Whether it is in class at Del Norte High or volunteering at San Rafael Catholic Church in Rancho Bernardo teaching a confirmation class on Wednesday nights and Sundays, McKirdy treats it as an extension of his time on the field.

McKirdy began playing Pop Warner football at age 5 back in Montreal, where he was born. Two older brothers were playing when Scott followed.

“I was the smallest kid on the team, playing full-contact football, so I played nose guard,’’ McKirdy said. “It was as big a mess with 5-year-olds playing tackle football as you’d imagine.

“I still loved it right away. That’s why one of my biggest goals in life is to continue playing football in college.’’

McKirdy spent last weekend on a recruiting trip to Oregon State in hopes of landing a scholarship as a linebacker, which the 6-foot-1, 245-pounder feels is his best position at the next level.

McKirdy is a Canadian citizen, although the entire family is in the midst of receiving U.S. citizenship as well.

“It was difficult leaving part of my family back in Canada when my dad got an aerospace job here when I was 8,’’ McKirdy said. “I was pumped to get out of Montreal. I love to venture out to new places, but it didn’t take me long to love living in SoCal. “I hated shoveling snow all the time. I send photos of me enjoying the sun every month back to my relatives in Canada.’’

Unlike most Canadian youngsters, the closest McKirdy ever got to playing hockey was participating in ball hockey.

Played on any surface, players use a tennis ball instead of a puck to score goals.

“I couldn’t go into hockey after my parents put me in figure skating when I was real young,’’ McKirdy said. “I hope other linebackers don’t hold that against me. Just remember I was too young to stop them from making me a skater for five years.’’

He’s been a football play through and through for more than twice as long as he was cutting up the ice as a figure skater.

Monahan is a freelance writer.

BRAD LAPPIN

Del Norte High’s Scott McKirdy holds the American flag as he leads the team on the field earlier this season.

Del Norte coach Patrick Coleman feels McKirdy could play either fullback or H-back in college.

“Scott has the best hands on the team,’’ Coleman said. “He has that charisma a coach loves. Some years you don’t have a kid like that.

“He’s our energy and emotional leader. The team feeds off him. He leads by voice and his emotion.’’

Coleman also uses McKirdy as the long snapper, except when the Nighthawks are deep in their own territory. Then he uses him to punt the ball.

“He probably could drive the team bus if we asked,’’ Coleman said, laughing.

On offense, McKirdy has rushed 17 times for 106 yards and two

touchdowns. He’s also caught four passes for 30 yards.

But on defense, McKirdy has collected 45 tackles to go with a pair of interceptions.

“Playing linebacker is a mentality,’’ McKirdy said. “You can teach the fundamentals about playing linebacker, but you can’t teach that mentality.’’

Last week: Vista beat Del Norte 24-0; Rancho Bernardo beat No. 10 Mission Hills 34-20 Notes: The Broncos are looking to put Vista out of the Palomar League title race, while the Panthers are hoping to score the upset victory over the back-to-back champions … Vista, in its first year in the Palomar League, has won two straight and its lone loss in league play came against Mt. Carmel 45-21. The Broncos beat the Sundevils 43-20. The Panthers scored their first shutout of the season last week, but before that were giving up 28 points per game. The running game is averaging 6.1 yards per carry, led

by Nick Stormo (39 carries for 319 yards and three TDs) and Vavega Sialoi (54 carries for 291 yards and four TDs) … The Broncos have been out to prove they can play with the top-tier programs in the county and the win over Mission Hills should silence the critics. RB did it without Fresno State-bound QB Mark Salazar (broken collarbone) and its leader on the offensive line, James Lee (leg).

Replacement QB Christian Lewis showed he can sling it, throwing for 143 yards and a TD to Malcolm Ross-Turner on just 11 attempts.

Notes: Both teams will try to put tough non-league losses behind them and focus on the race to the Pacific League crown …

Tri-City Christian fell 40-0 to Maranatha last season, but closed the year winning four of its next five. That hot finish carried over to this season, as Tri-City Christian looks primed to challenge for the league championship. QB Zach Reitmeyer has thrown for over 1,100 yards with 10 TDs to just four INTs. He has also rushed for 9 TDs. RB Anthony Madden has insane numbers, rushing for 862 yards and a whopping 15 TDs on just 92 carries … Maranatha had nothing go right against LJCD, falling behind 42-0 before scoring.

FROM WASHINGTON, B1 have taken a huge step forward for the remainder of the season.

Somehow, they found a way to block out the rain and wind and muddy conditions.

“At the starting line, we were all freaking out,’’ Neal said. “None of us had run a cross country meet in spikes, we were shivering cold.

“I was excited about the possibility of running in the rain, but I ran the whole time with my eyes half shut to keep the rain out.’’

There is a sports term for runners who perform well in terrible weather. They’re called “Good mudders.’’

“The outcome - they scored the meet wrong and we didn’t know we’d won until we got home - reaffirmed our expectations,’’ Neal said. “It raised the bar.

“We barely snuck into the CIF State Meet. Now we are better prepared for what might be coming.’’

Neal had previously been to Seattle to board a ship for a cruise to Alaska with his family.

“It was summertime, so it didn’t rain much that time,’’ Neal said, laughing. “I don’t know how coach ran in that stuff his whole life.

“It’s hard to get Poway weather out of the Poway boy.

“If I’d grown up in Seattle, with that weather, I’d probably be in a different sport, an indoor sport.’’

Poway’s next invitational is Oct. 22 in the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif.

Peter Sprague performs Tuesday at RB Library Free concert is first in new jazz concert series

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Rancho Bernardo Library’s jazz concert series will be kicking off its new season with a performance by Peter Sprague on Tuesday.

The concerts in the series are free and open to the public, although donations are appreciated. There are six concerts in the series, which concludes in May. Children ages 7 and older may attend with a parent or guardian.

Concerts are from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted and are held in the Rancho Bernardo Library at 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. Seating is limited, so arrive early.

Sprague is one of the best-known jazz guitarists and band leaders in San Diego. He has performed a concert in every jazz series held so far, with a different theme to his performance each time. Last year, Sprague performed a concert of Brazilian jazz with his band Pass the Drum.

This year, Sprague will perform with his twin-necked guitar, accompanied by Mack Leighton on bass and Duncan Moore on drums.

Sprague grew up in Del Mar and, inspired by his father’s love of jazz,

Peter Sprague took up the guitar when he was 12.

More than just a performer, Sprague has released not only several albums but has self-published 11 of his own music books, including “The Sprague Technique,” “SpragueSongs” and a variety of books on jazz solos and jazz

songbooks.

Sprague is also well-known for his recording facility “SpragueLand,” where many San Diego-based artists have recorded. Sprague has produced all his own recordings in his studio since 1994 and has worked on over 300 other CD

projects there as well.

He also keeps busy performing regularly around San Diego County, including Ki’s Restaurant in Cardiff and The Roxy Restaurant in Encinitas either as a solo artist or as a duo, trio or quartet. In November, he’ll be taking a break from the West Coast to perform with jazz pianist and composer Billy Childs in “Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro” in North Carolina.

Sprague toured with Childs earlier this year performing in Childs’ homage to singer-songwriter Nyro and her jazz-pop repertoire from the 1960s and 1970s, including several shows in Tokyo in March.

His latest CD, “Dream Walkin’,” was released in 2015 with Leonard Patton.

He has produced and played on several CDs in 2016, most recorded at SpragueLand.

Continuing the series will be Holly Hofmann and Mike Wofford on Nov. 9, the Sue Palmer Quintet on Feb. 8, the Danny Green Trio on March 8, Gilbert Castellanos on April 8 and the Joshua White Trio on May 10.

Locals attend Girl Scouts’ Urban Glampout

R

ancho Bernardo and Poway residents were among the 550 who attended Girl Scouts San Diego’s “Urban Glampout” last month. The 19th annual fundraiser, held at the council’s headquarters in Balboa Park, raised a record $520,000 for the local organization. The theme was inspired by “the popular vacation trend of glamping — glamorous camping,” officials said.

Partygoers earned fun badges while playing camp

games, crafting and trying archery. There was also a silent auction, music by The Heroes and “gourmet” camp fare that included s’mores around a campfire.

Proceeds will help keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for more than 35,000 members, officials said. For details on girls in grades K-12 and adult volunteers joining troops in the Rancho Bernardo and Poway area, go to sdgirlscouts.org/join or contact Diana Alva at 619-610-0708 or dalva@sdgirlscouts.org.

St. Michael’s students are fundraising for CHP’s K9 unit

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK t. Michael’s School is halfway to its goal of purchasing a training obstacle course for the California Highway Patrol’s local Border Division K9 Unit.

The Poway-based Catholic campus for preschoolers to eighth graders is raising money for the project led by its Mercy Corps, a student-led service organization.

The project kicked off Oct. 3 and the students saw first-hand what the CHP’s K9 Unit does when some of its members visited the campus on Oct. 5 to conduct a demonstration.

S

The unit showed how its dogs help CHP officers during their law enforcement work. The students also promoted the project on Saturday during St. Michael’s Catholic Church’s annual Blessing of the Animals, said spokeswoman Carol D’Agnese.

As of Monday, the students had raised more than $500 toward their $1,000 goal, she said. Anyone in the community who would like to contribute to the endeavor may do so by contacting Lacee Pappas at lacee.pappas@smspoway.org or 858-485-1303.

Good-Natured Gardening

BY CLARENCE SCHMIDT

Yellow means caution

R

omantically, our eyes are the window to our soul. Horticulturally, a plant’s leaves are the window to their health.

Plants signal that they are sick by the way their leaves look. A common health concern is yellow leaves.

If your plant has fully drooped, dried yellow leaves, a collapsed stem and no heartbeat, this is a botanical condition known as “dead.” Your beloved plant wasn’t getting the loving it needed and is ready for the EDCO mortuary.

Yellow leaves mean your plant has jaundice. Actually, I just made that up. Leaf yellowing is called chlorosis. Basically, it’s another one of those words that will blow my little computer’s spell check brain.

Even the greenest thumbs see yellow. I’ve seen the entire color palette.

As we all learned from our biology class, chlorosis is the result of too little chlorophyll. Since chlorophyll gives leaves their green color, an inadequate supply turns plants yellow.

The list of potential causes is as long as your shovel. Take steps now to protect your

home and family from the mounting danger of yellow leaf-itis.

Usually, the cause is an iron or a nitrogen deficiency. Almost any plant can get infected and it’s especially common in azaleas, blueberries, camellias, cucumbers, pears, raspberries, rhododendron, strawberries and tomatoes.

When nitrogen is deficient the entire leaf turns yellow. This is different from iron deficiency which shows up on newer leaves first and has dark green veins.

Iron deficiency is caused by excessive alkalinity of the soil. To correct this, your soil’s pH (potential of Hydrogen) should be in the 6.5 -7 range.

Chlorosis is often caused by poor nutrition.

Plants need 14 vital minerals to live, most of which must come through their roots. Three non-minerals, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, are also essential.

Other causes include plant stress and repeated trampling by midnight marauders including, but not limited to, neighbors and land sharks. Personally, I don't understand why moats ever went out of style.

Still more causes are over-watering or under-watering. Damaged or rotted roots.

Poor drainage.

Under-fertilizing. Over-fertilizing. People often use too much fertilizer to make their plants grow faster. The excess salt in the soil from too much fertilizer “burns” the leaves causing them to turn yellow. In the case of houseplants, change the soil or leach it with large amounts of water to correct the balance.

Your plant might also be getting burned by the hot sun or getting too little light where it can’t photosynthesize properly.

Age is always a factor. Older foliage will turn yellow before it hits the ground.

Temperature that is either too hot or too cold and winter dormancy also cause yellow leaves.

Then there are infectious diseases like fungi or bacteria. To control these, don’t overwater.

Then there are the plant terminators like the always-hungry squirrels or the always-tunneling gophers.

Aphids, mealybugs, mites, thrips and whiteflies can also be the culprits. Many gardeners use high water pressure to hose off their plants. However, today’s new and improved bugs are not easily deterred; they will return before you can turn off the spigot.

I prefer a horticultural soap, neem oil and insect repelling plants. My weapons of choice are basil, rosemary, parsley, marigolds, nasturtiums and narcissus. I had a Venus flytrap, but it choked on a mite. They both died. Very sad. Venus had a great personality.

Step 1 of the treatment is the ever-unpopular soil test. Currently, only three Poway residents test their soil. The other 49,414 (as of 2013) Powegians will

likely say, “Uh, no. I’m not going to test anything.” Or, “Why doesn’t this newspaper have a comics section?”

Step 2. Correcting the soil pH will improve nutrient levels and may be all you need to fix the problem. When soil pH gets above 7, many plants can’t absorb iron. To lower the pH, add peat, alfalfa meal, compost, wood chips, poultry or cow manure.

Sprinkle Ironite around the base of the plant. Or spray liquid iron – either iron sulfate or chelated iron - right onto the plant.

Soy meal, cottonseed meal and the ever popular worm castings will also help.

To solve the overwatering issue, relocate the plant or add sand to the soil so the roots won’t drown. Also high on the brilliant scale: try cutting back on watering.

To prevent dehydration, plants should get 1inch of water per week. Even with our water restrictions, it’s doable. Drip irrigation helps.

Nutrient excesses or deficiencies also cause yellow leaves. Too much calcium, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, or copper are other possibilities. Try plants that are native and have adapted to growing in nutrient-poor soils.

For calcium deficiency, use gypsum if your soil is alkaline. For acidic soil, use lime.

For potassium deficiency, spread compost rich in vegetable waste. For nitrogen deficiency, add manure.

For zinc deficiency, spray with kelp extract.

For magnesium deficiency, use compost rich in magnesium.

In the language of roses, however, yellow means joy and friendship. That can be kind of romantic.

A Poway resident, Schmidt has 40 years of gardening experience.

Tips for becoming a foodie do-it-yourselfer

O

ut of frustration (and feeling of empowerment) I have become a scratch and do-it-yourself cook over the years.

I am either unable to find certain items after tedious searching, or once I do locate them they are usually outrageously expensive or contain ingredients that are unhealthy, toxic or repulsive to my taste buds (or all of the above).

Easier and less time consuming than you would imagine, here is my A-list of items you can make at home and truly enjoy the fruits of your labor this autumn and throughout the year.

Culture Vulture: Assorted yoghurts and other fermented dairy, especially kefir, a slightly sour and refreshing beverage contains beneficial gut-bacteria packed with antioxidants and billions of colony forming units that dial up digestion along with the immune system.

When preparing your own cultures you can customize them with your favorite fruits and spices. For best kefir results it is recommended to start with either raw or organic milk from a pastured or grass-fed cow.

Goat milk is also a good choice for kefir as it has an added oomph of probiotics, while coconut water is a good base for vegans.

Blend two cups of milk in a mason jar with two tablespoons of milk kefir grains, (water-based kefir grains as a starter culture for vegan version), and let ferment overnight, or for thicker consistency about 48 hours, then refrigerate. Drink straight up or blend with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.

Another Fine Pickle: Sweet, sour, hot and spicy pickled fruits and vegetables add pops of color and crunch to sandwiches, burgers or enjoyed solo as a snack or appetizer. Pick a peck of pickled peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower florets, beets, persimmons, okras, green tomatoes or carrots.

Simply gather a batch of pickling spices, including fresh dill or dill seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic cloves, allspice berries, mustard seeds, star anise and coarse kosher salt and blend in a mason jar with spring water and your favorite garden choices. Let the pickling begin at room temperature for about a week, then refrigerate.

Butter Me Up: Ghee, a type of clarified butter that originated in India is free of common dairy allergens along with the milk sugar lactose, hydrogenated oils, additives, preservatives and trans fats. Also a digestive aid it helps heal the gut lining.

The special fats in ghee ratchet up the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals from other foods and drinks, boosting the immune system. With a high smoke point it doesn’t burn easily like traditional butters.

So simple to craft your own ghee at home by melting a pound or two of grass-fed organic butter, and boiling until it foams.

Using a fine sieve, strain out the milk solids and pour the liquid gold into ramekins or small mason jars. Refrigerate and use as needed. Low dairy and moisture content, ghee has a long shelf life so whip up a double batch.

Going Nuts Over Them: Whip up your own nut butters to a silky smooth paste or a crunchy rustic spread using Omega-3 rich, heart healthy, protein-packed almonds, walnuts, pecans or cashews.

For a richer flavor and smoother texture, add a stream of nut oil or dollop of ghee butter. Customize your nut butters for savory palates with mineral-rich pink sea salt, or for sweeter tastes add honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a scoop of cocoa powder.

Open Sesame: A centuries-old Middle Eastern concoction artfully blends the noble and healthful chickpea with creamy, protein-packed tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Make a riff on the classic recipe to suit your sweet, spicy or

Fire-Roasted Peppers ■ Ingredients: • 4 sweet peppers (yellow, red, orange, your choice) • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 2 garlic cloves, minced ■ Method: Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Place whole peppers on parchment-lined cookie sheet and roast 30-45 minutes, until the skin is blistering and the flesh is tender. Remove from heat and place a dishtowel over the peppers until cool. Scrape off skin.

Cut into four pieces and remove stem, seeds and seedpod. Place in a glass bowl, along with juices, oil, salt, garlic. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

savory preferences.

Add sriracha sauce to awaken sleepy taste buds, wasabi for a Japanese twist, cilantro and lime for a southwest version, or for sweet tooths swap out the garlic and lemon for honey, shaved coconut and melted dark chocolate with a cocoa content over 60 percent. Enjoy as a dip for berries, biscotti or dried fruit.

WiFi Hotspots 101: A recent Cox Business survey found that 59% of respondents said WiFi is the best perk that small businesses can offer their patrons – not a surprising statistic considering that people use the Internet to stay connected with their world, whether at home or on the road.

the Internet on the go. However, some activities could put your security at risk since not all hotspots offer a secure connection.

As more and more people use WiFi hotspots to stay connected, it’s important to know the basics of how to safely connect to a hotspot.

What can I do to protect my information?

• Avoid tasks such as paying bills, accessing your bank information, and using your credit card online when using a public hotspot.

What is a WiFi hotspot?

A WiFi hotspot is an Internet access point that allows you to connect to the Internet wirelessly through your mobile device.

How does a WiFi hotspot work?

A wireless access point communicates with computers or mobile devices using radio signals. The access point is connected to the Internet and usually connected to a router or server. Most current mobile devices will recognize wireless networks that you can connect to.

Should I be concerned about my online security when connected to a WiFi hotspot?

There are many advantages to connecting to WiFi hotspots, including saving money on your mobile data plan, and accessing

The name, signal strength and security type will display. WPA2, WPA and WEP are three types of secured connections. Others will say ‘unsecured.’ Once connected, be sure to select ‘Public network’ when prompted to select a network location.

This will block some common routes for potential hackers. But, remember that even password-protected WiFi hotspots are not as secure as your home network.

• Opt not to save passwords, especially when it comes to your financial accounts such as credit cards and bank accounts.

Cox tech installs Cox WiFi hotspots throughout San Diego County.

• Update your device when prompted.

Often, these contain security updates to keep your device protected.

How do I know if a WiFi hotspot has a secure connection?

Examples of secure connections include hotspotsthatrequireapasswordbeforeyou can connect.Other security settings may be seen by hovering your mouse over each WiFi connection in your WiFi settings.

• Verify that you are connecting to a legitimate connection. For example, Cox enabled WiFi hotspots are named ‘Cox WiFi’ or ‘CableWiFi.’ In other instances, ask an employee the name of the business or store hotspot before connecting.

How do I connect to a WiFi hotspot?

Depending on your mobile device settings, your phone may prompt you when wireless networks are available. WiFi connections can be found in the network settings on your mobile device. Often times, coffee shops, restaurants, parks and other public places will provide WiFi hotspots for customers, and may require a password and accepting a terms of use agreement before you connect.

To help its Internet customers stay connected with their world wherever they are, Cox Communications has been building WiFi hotspots in the communities it serves. In San Diego, Cox Internet customers have free access to more than 1,000 hotspots countywide, including in Balboa Park and downtown San Diego.

Cox Internet customers also have free access to more than half a million hotspots nationwide through CableWiFi. Just find ‘Cox WiFi’ or ‘CableWiFi’ in your WiFi settings. Non Cox customers can access the hotspots through a free one-hour trial.

PET OF THE WEEK

AMAZON, a

7-monthold Border Collie/Labrador mix, is just bursting with love and enthusiasm to share with his new family. This handsome boy is a wiz with his trainers - some may even call him a genius but we don’t want him to get a big head.

He’s already learned sit, stay, come and loose leash walking, and he can’t wait to learn more! Amazon’s ideal home is with an active family who will take him out for lots of daily exercise and provide the continued training an energetic pup like him needs!

He is extremely playful and fun-loving and can’t wait to find a special family to cherish. Amazon is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus, 3450 E. Valley Parkway, Escondido. To learn more, please call 760-888-2247 or visit sdhumane.org.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $356,685.88 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. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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

ist 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 (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.HOMESEARCH.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 044533-CA. 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 site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (800) 758 – 8052 CLEAR RECON CORP. 4375 Jutland Drive Suite 200 San Diego, California 92117.

Bicycle sharrows, pavement markings of arrows and a bicycle, were recently painted on Rancho Bernardo Road in both directions. The sharrows and accompanying signs indicate bicyclists may use the full traffic lane since there are no designated bicycle lanes there. The road markings were made by the city at the request of the Rancho Bernardo Community Council.

Ask Mr. Marketing

BY ROB WEINBERG

Giving away customers

C

onfession time: I’m not always the biggest fan of the Postal Service.

In this column I’ve previously suggested they cut Saturday delivery and establish coffee kiosks in their lobbies.

They responded by selling Bugs Bunny stamps and greeting cards.

Hardly a novel approach to improving revenues.

Still, I’ve continued renting my PO Box, finding it economical and always accessible.

No longer. Mailbox lobby hours will soon stop at 8pm, removing my ability to retrieve my mail at odd hours.

Increasingly, small business owners want the appearance of an office, even as they work from home.

This means having an outside address where packages and checks can be delivered at the same time the boss is out hustling new opportunities.

Suggesting RB’s Postmaster would be wise to remember these people have options beyond the USPS. 100 yards from the Post Office is the new UPS Store. It offers a real street address with mailbox rental and 24-hour access.

It’s called competition…a sometimes alien concept to those who haven’t run their own firm.

Admittedly, UPS is selling more service for a slightly higher price, but many people will happily pay for the convenience of late mail pickup.

And what boggles my mind is that the USPS is willingly giving away their customers.

My suspicion is the revenue they’ll lose will dwarf whatever they save on electricity during those off-hours.

Now let’s look at your business.

Whatever you’re selling, someone, somewhere is selling it faster, cheaper, or with better service. It’s inevitable.

Meaning if you can’t persuade customers you’re the preferred choice, you’ll lose that business.

Certainly, some customers will prefer you merely because you offer the lowest price. However, these same customers can be stolen by someone else offering a $2 discount.

To improve customer loyalty while making a fair profit, offer better service than the other guy and charge a bit more to cover that extra service.

In these days of self-help and automation, the missing ingredient is typically a smiling welcome and a “How can I help you?”

And human interaction with someone willing and capable of resolving customer issues will never go out of style. Just remember how you like being treated.

It’s something to consider as you plan your business growth strategy for next year.

With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Make more of your competitive advantages at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Countywide home sales continue slide Median sales price increases SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The number of homes that changed owners in the San Diego region last month continued to fall, according to statistics released Monday by a local Realtors group.

In September, 1,932 single-family homes were sold, a 15 percent drop from August and down 2 percent from September 2015, the San Diego Association of Realtors reported. The median sales price of a house last month was $570,000, up 1 percent over the previous month and 9 percent higher than the year prior.

As for condominiums and townhomes, 1,018 changed hands, 16 percent fewer than August and 7 percent below the total of September of last year. The median sales price for attached homes in September was $375,000, the same as the month before and 10 percent above the level of last year.

While prices have continued to climb, sales totals in San Diego County have lagged in recent months because of constricted inventory.

Over the longer term of the first nine months of 2016, however, sales of existing homes in the region have slipped just 1 percent, according to SDAR. “While some of our momentum has slowed from the summer, the stability of sale prices is a silver lining,'' said SDAR President Cory Shepard. “In a perfect scenario, the rise in rental rates and employment opportunities should bolster an interest in home buying, but it's not a guarantee.''

The most expensive property sold in September was a 7,065-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bath house on the coast of La Jolla, built in 1990, with a price tag of $11 million

Poway retirement community marks 20th anniversary

BY EMILY SORENSEN Seacrest Village at Rancho Bernardo Nellie Cohn Residence is celebrating its 20th anniversary and wants you to come out and join the party.

The retirement community, at 12730 Monte Vista Road in Poway, will be holding a small open house celebration for their anniversary from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and community tours. This celebration is open to the public. Attendees are asked to RVSP by Friday, Oct. 21 at svrb20@seacrestvillage.org or by calling 858-485-0700.

“This is a great opportunity for the public to learn about our community, but our residents are our best ambassadors,” said Alissa Messian, the administrator of Seacrest Village at Rancho Bernardo Nellie Cohn Residence. “It will also bring awareness about our community.”

Attendees will be able to tour the common areas and a model apartment, as well as socialize with residents and their families.

The anniversary is also being marked by a remodel of the common areas, which is underway.

The remodeling includes all new paint and flooring, new furnishings, new lighting and new window coverings. “It’s a total

There will also be some redone landscaping, Messian said, and more upgrades to the facility will come in the future.

Seacrest Village at Rancho Bernardo Nellie Cohn Residence is a 54-apartment month-to-month retirement community that

offers studio, alcove, one-bedroom and two-bedroom living spaces. Each residence includes individual heat and air conditioning, a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a microwave, weekly housekeeping with linen service, cable television, free wifi, spacious closets, wall-to-wall carpeting and blinds.

Each residence also include a private

balcony (second floor) or patio (first floor), as well as large windows.

More than just a place to live, the community offers a wide variety of activities to keep its residents healthy and happy, including a beauty shop, daily exercise, outings and transportation to medical appointments and shopping. For residents that still drive, a complementary covered parking space is included.

Residence at the community also includes three healthy meals a day, a quarter-mile walking path, shuffleboard and 24-hour assistance from the community’s warm, caring staff, said Messian.

“I don’t feel like this is a job,” said Messian, who has been the administrator at the retirement community for two years. “It’s an extension to my life and my family. I love the residents, the staff and this environment as a whole. I get an uplifting feeling every day.”

Marcia Stein, who has worked at the retirement community as the community relations manager for over six years, agreed.

“We’re known for the longevity of our staff, and that speaks highly of how our organization is run. It’s a joy to come in every day.”
