Condo fire kills two children, injures father

INSIDE

BY KRISTIAN DAVIS AND LORI WEISBERG For the first time, 10-year-old Cristos Lopez was old enough to do the scaring at the annual Halloween school carnival. Dressed as a skeleton grim reaper, the fifth-grader worked the haunted house Friday night, spooking the little kids and loving every minute of it. Meanwhile, his sister, 7-year-old Isabella Lopez — who everyone called Bella — showed off her sassy version of “Monster High” character Frankie Stein, from the striped wig down to the black-and-white dress shoes. The last night of their lives began with playful frights and ended in a horrific fire that consumed their two-story condominium in Rancho Bernardo. Both children were carried away from the inferno by firefighters, SEE FIRE, A11

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A solar panel installation project that has temporarily made inaccessible a few dozen parking spaces in Rancho Bernardo Community Park is slated to be finished by Nov. 30, according to a city spokesman. The project is occurring in the parking lot in front of and just behind the Ed Brown Center for Active Adults. Work began on Sept. 25. The installation of 540 canopy-type solar panels in the Rancho Bernardo park is one of 19 such endeavors citywide, according to Paul Brencick Sr., a senior public information officer with the City of San Diego. It is this phase’s only project in the immediate area, though the city plans on implementing SEE SOLAR, A10

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A prominent local political figure is leading the statewide effort to repeal the new 12 cents per gallon gasoline tax that went into effect on Wednesday in California.

Rancho Bernardo resident and former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio and the Reform California coalition — a political action committee he founded and leads — are gearing up to collect at least 585,407 signatures of California voters in order to force a repeal initiative on the November 2018 ballot. Their stated goal is to reverse the tax and other vehicle fees approved earlier this year by the state

Adult ‘life matters’ event is Nov. 8 in RB Free flu, pneumonia and hepatitis-A shots offered BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A free event on health topics geared toward those ages 50-plus is coming to Rancho Bernardo next week. “Life Matters: A Living Well Symposium” will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8 at the Ed Brown Center for Active Adults, 18402 W. Bernardo Drive, in Rancho Bernardo Community Park. There will be free flu, pneumonia and hepatitis-A immunizations and free blood pressure screenings for all adults. They will not need to present an insurance card. The shots will be provided by nursing students at National University plus personnel from Champions of Health, according to Bret Geernaert, an EBC board member. There will also be speakers on various health subjects, starting with pharmacist Aravinda Thatte from Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Centers, who will talk about prescription safety and awareness at 10 a.m. Physical therapist Deniz Armagan from Movement 4 Life will talk about fall prevention at 10:45 a.m. Cardiovascular disease and prevention will be discussed by Dr. Namee Kim from Scripps Clinic at 11:30 a.m. and Dr. Rakhi Khatri from Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Centers will talk about “The ABZzz of Sleeping” at 12:15 p.m. Each half-hour presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session

for about 15 minutes, Geernaert said. Also offered will be a light lunch and interactive exhibits. EBC President Lynn Wolsey said there is a double meaning to the event’s title since people “need to take care of what they have (and these health) matters affect your life.” She added, “the thrust of senior health wellness is to keep people healthy ... (and) be proactive ... by watching what you eat, exercising regularly your brain as well as your body that way (seniors can) be more social, healthy, active and connected. “It’s to keep people going into their late 80s and 90s,” Wolsey said. “(We have members) who are very healthy, still driving and interested in what is going on around them. They are happy and still living in their homes, keeping independent as long as possible.” Wolsey said this event is not taking the place of the center’s annual health fair held in May in conjunction with National Senior Health and Fitness Day. It is the first symposium in what the center’s board would like to hold three or four times per year. “Our next one will deal with senior abuse, safety on the internet and how to detect scams,” she said. No date has been set. For questions, call 858-487-9324 or go to edbrowncenter.org.

RB Rotary Club celebrates member’s 100th birthday Joe Max has dedicated his professional, personal life to service BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo recently celebrated the 100th birthday of Joe Max, one of its longtime members. The Philadelphia native said he spent the first half of his life there, before job opportunities took him overseas. He moved to California around 1963 and to Rancho Bernardo four years ago. But his association with the RB community goes back at least a quarter-century, dating back to when he started attending Rotary meetings with his then-employer, a lawyer who due to vision problems could not drive. After attending several meetings as a guest, Max — then an El Cajon resident — said he asked if he could become a Rotarian. Joining appealed because membership requires “giving of yourself,” he said. “You’re part of the community. I feel it is important to be contributing, because we owe something to each other.” Service to others has been a constant theme throughout Max’s life. At age 22 he joined the Philadelphia Police Department. He moved up the ranks and retired as a police commander at age 50. “It was a steady job,” Max said about his interest in law enforcement. “It was challenging, very demanding and you were required to perform well.” His police work was interrupted for three years, when he joined the Army during World War II. After being stationed in Fort Knox, Kentucky, he was deployed to Europe and served in France and Germany, including a stint in Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s headquarters.

Alberta and Joe Max at his birthday celebration during a recent Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club luncheon. Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. Following retirement from his police career in

Philadelphia, Max said he went to work for the State Department. That led to him becoming an adviser to police chiefs in South Vietnam during the late ‘60s, during the Vietnam War. “I was seeing to it that the (Vietnamese) men were trained and performing their (police) duties,” he said of the three-year assignment. While the war prevented Max from being accompanied by his wife, Marie, during his years in Vietnam, she was able to join him for his next three-year assignment in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. A police adviser who spoke French was needed and Max said he had learned the language while serving in France during World War II. By the time of his overseas work the couple’s son and daughter were adults — Max now has four grandchildren — and when the couple returned stateside decided to live in California due to the weather, he said. Here Max worked as an investigator in civil cases for attorneys — including the one who introduced him to the RB Rotary Club — and attended San Diego State University, where he earned a master’s degree in criminal justice administration. Max and his wife were married for 54 years, until Marie’s death in 1997. Four years ago he remarried. He met Alberta, who goes by the nickname Peaches, at an Elks Club social and the couple enjoys ballroom dancing, he said. Other hobbies include playing bridge, which Max said he used to teach and he has often directed bridge tournaments. Among his fellow Rotarians, he is known as the “joke meister.” When asked for the secret to his longevity, Max said he credits the “good genes” he inherited from his parents. “They were pretty healthy people,” he said.

Rancho Bernardo reaches out to help Texas high school BY JOHN MAFFEI The headlines in the Houston newspapers were apocalyptic. “Harvey drowns Port Arthur.” “Watery wasteland.” “Biblical floods.” “Fifty-one Inches: Terror, heartbreak and heroism.” “Residents stranded and surrounded.” “Mother Nature went crazy,” Lauri Hampshire, athletic director at Memorial High in Port Arthur, Texas, said of Hurricane Harvey, a Category 3 which blew through the Gulf of Mexico in late August and early September. “Places that had never flooded before flooded. “We’ve had hurricanes before, but we got 60 inches of rain in three days.” It was estimated Harvey dropped 20 trillion gallons of water on Texas. Winds reached 132 mph. Port Arthur sits on the east side of the Gulf of Mexico, close to Beaumont and Lake Charles, Louisiana. It’s home of Motiva, the largest oil refinery in the United States, a plant that pumps out 600,000 barrels a day. Hurricane Harvey forced a shut down. Port Arthur is also home of the Memorial High Titans, a 5A Region III District 22 school that lost all its sports equipment when its fieldhouse flooded. Memorial, however was just one of hundreds of Texas high schools hit hard by Harvey. Roger Blake, executive director of the California Interscholastic Federation, reached out to his 10 section commissioners, asking if they would contact their schools for help. Jerry Schniepp, San Diego Section commissioner, got a list of 27 schools in Texas that could use help. Rancho Bernardo and El Capitan made direct contact with schools in Texas — Rancho Bernardo with Memorial and El Capitan with North Forest in Houston. “We went through a lot of the same things 10 years ago in the Witch Creek fire,” said Peggy Brose, athletic director at RB. “So we had an idea of what they were going

through.” The Witch Creek fire started in Santa Ysabel and quickly spread through Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, Poway and Escondido. Wind gusts reach 100 mph as the fire roared through the San Pasqual Valley, then jumped Interstate 15 on its way to Lake Hodges, Del Dios and Rancho Santa Fe. The inferno scorched 197,000 acres, burned down 1,141 residential structures and caused $1,018 billion in damages. “That fire ripped through our community,” Brose said. “People had to evacuate their homes, lost their homes, stay at shelters. “It seems adversity brings out the best in people. People helped us 10 years ago, so I reached out to our teachers, staff and critical skills class. They all jumped on board.” Rancho Bernardo held a fundraiser at its football game with Mt. Carmel, collecting more that $1,500 of a total that reached more than $4,500 with individuals and teams chipping in. “I called Memorial and asked the best way to help,” Brose said. “They needed everything.” So Brose purchased 170 $25 Target gift cards. RB athletic trainer Robbie Bowers put together a package of t-shirts, tape and pre-wrap as well as a pair of $50 gift cards. “Their trainer even sent home-baked cookies,” Memorial’s Hampshire said. “We still have families living in tents in our parking lot. We have families living in the library and the civic center. “People from Port Arthur are living in Lake Charles and driving 90 minutes to go to work and school. “Many of our students need help, so the gift cards were the best idea. “My home didn’t flood, so I have five families living with me, including our head football coach, our trainer and a police officer.” “Our football team played four games in 18 days before we got back to a regular schedule,” Hampshire said. “Volleyball and our other teams are playing every other day to catch up. “But we’re determined to get everything in.” Maffei writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

For the seventh year, Terri Hunter and Mary Taylor of Keller Williams Realty are collecting new and gently used pajamas for children of all ages. The youngsters were removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, often without the ability to bring anything with them. Their housing programs do not have the necessary funds to purchase pajamas. Through Dec. 15, pajamas can be dropped off at three area locations: • Village Mail & More, 12463 Rancho Bernardo Road (near Albertsons) in Rancho Bernardo from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. • Courtyard by Marriott, 11611 Bernardo Plaza Court in Rancho Bernardo. Leave in the lobby anytime. • Keller Williams Realty, 13400 Sabre Springs Parkway, Suite 100 in Sabre Springs. Leave in the lobby from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. For questions, contact Hunter at 619-994-9927 or tdhunter@pacbell.net or Taylor at 858-342-7470 or mary@taylormadeliving.com. Donations are not tax deductible. Last year Leez PJ’s 4 Kids collected more than 1,000 pairs of pajamas, with about a quarter of those coming from the real estate agents’ pajama drive.

Poway artist featured in Gaslamp District’s ‘Rabbitville’ installation BY EMILY SORENSEN A Poway resident’s artwork celebrating San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter will be displayed in downtown during November. John Wismont, a Poway resident since 1982, was one of 15 artists selected to paint a rabbit sculpture that will be installed downtown to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gaslamp Quarter. A gala for all the statues will be held on Nov. 7, Wismont said. Some of the other San Diego artists who created rabbits for the project are Matt Forderer, Rebecca Nuvoletta, Tasha Hobbs, Sarah Soward, Monty Montgomery and Lee Sie. Wismont’s sculpture was sponsored by Councilman Chris Ward, who represents District 3. His sculpture features portraits of Ward and San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, as well as District 3 landmarks. “There’s a lot of detail on it,” Wismont said. “It took me longer than I expected.” The rabbit sculptures are based on “Rabbitville,” the joking name given to the area that is now the Gaslamp Quarter 150 years ago. “When Alonzo Horton (Came out to San Diego), there was nothing but rabbits around, and critics called it Rabbitville,” Wismont said. “But (the Gaslamp District) became a success, so I guess you could say they ran the rabbits off.”

A large amount of artists were contacted about the project, he said, with 15 selected. Wismont applied through Pat Brown, who let him

know about the project while working with Wismont on their television pilot, “San Diego Connection,” a magazine-style show about San Diego. Wismont’s art career stretches back to his school days, where he attended a high school for the arts in New York. He studied art at CSU Long Beach. He got a job doing watercolor portraits at Disneyland, where he developed a quick style in order to do 75 to 80 paintings a day. “I got paid $1.50 per sketch,” he said. Wismont made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for his speedy watercolor portraits, doing just under 45,000 in five years. “I beat the previous guy by 280 sketches,” Wismont said. After his contract with Disneyland ended, Wismont said he set up in front of a Costa Mesa bookstore, offering his sketches for free if a customer bought a book, or for a small fee if they didn’t. Wismont said he did over 400 sketches at the bookstore, enough to ensure his world record. Wismont is a fixture at Poway events, doing character portraits each year at city events like Once Upon a Hallowe’en and Christmas in the Park. With his rabbit sculpture complete, Wismont said he will be focusing on the post-production of “San Diego Connection.”

POWAY NEWS CHIEFTAIN

Poway Chieftain urges a YES vote on Measure A POWAY NEWS CHIEFTAIN – OCTOBER 26, 2017

Vote ‘yes’ on Measure A “The initiative qualiﬁed for the Nov. 7 ballot after supporters gathered the signatures of 5,697 registered voters.” “[The owner] has signed a legally binding agreement with Poway Open Space… promising a refurbished golf course and new clubhouse that would be open to the public.” “If Measure A passes, it does not mean the condos will be

built… (The City) council has the authority to attach conditions to any approval, such as those included in the private agreement between Schlesinger and Poway Open Space.” If the course closed, “That would result in 117 acres of dead grass and weeds. The alternative is for voters to vote “yes” on Measure A… That is the course we recommend.”

Poway Open Space, a grassroots citizen led group was organized two years ago to save StoneRidge and preserve a Poway open space PERMANENTLY.

Measure A will open the 117 acres of StoneRidge for the ﬁrst time to ALL residents of Poway. Every family can enjoy a new community gathering space and new neighborhood restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining and forever-protected open green space. All at NO TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.

We urge your YES vote on Poway Measure A! Paid for by Yes on A-Poway Open Space Ballot Measure Committee. Sponsored and Major Funding by Western Golf Properties (golf course manager) ID#1395672

FROM GAS, A1 selling winter blend gasoline, according to industry experts. The difference between the summer and winter blends is usually 12 cents, so by next year the full impact at the gas pumps will be in effect when the more expensive summer blend is again sold, industry experts said. On Jan. 1, vehicle registration fees will go up $25 to $175 — depending on vehicle type — and starting July 1, 2020, zero-emission vehicles will be assessed a new $100 fee. By July 2019, the gas base excise tax is slated to rise an additional 17.3 cents per gallon. In subsequent years the taxes and fees are to be adjusted for inflation. State officials have said the projected additional annual statewide revenue generated by the new taxes and fees will go for various roadway improvements throughout California. The roadway flaws, they say, cause drivers to spend about $700 a year in extra vehicle repairs. Officials project the annual amounts generated will be $2.4 billion through gas taxes, $1.08 through diesel taxes, $1.6 billion through a new transportation improvement fee and $20 million from a new road improvement fee assessed on zero-emission vehicles. DeMaio says the money will not likely be used for the stated road and infrastructure repairs. Instead, it will be diverted to other uses. The initiative signature collection drive will officially launch on Nov. 27 when a rally is held from 3 to 6 p.m. at the KOGO radio station in San Diego, 9660 Granite Ridge Drive, during DeMaio’s radio show. He said on Monday that many signature collection events will be held in coming weeks, including in Rancho Bernardo and Poway, with details posted soon at ReformCalifornia.org. “With the momentum we’ve gathered over the past six months, our grassroots effort to repeal the

gas tax is kicking into high gear,” DeMaio said. “When the gas tax hits Californians ... the issue goes from the theoretical to the real, and our grassroots coalition powering the real initiative will only continue (and is) going to grow.” According to the coalition, the average driver will pay $300 more each year in vehicle and gas taxes if the tax hike remains in effect. The initiative to roll back the vehicle and gas tax hikes is the second of a two-phase effort to not only stop both, but send a clear message to Sacramento that DeMaio is calling a “taxpayer revolt.” The first phase was a successful effort in recent months to get more than the 63,593 signatures needed to force a recall of state Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), whom DeMaio, a Republican, said cast the deciding vote on the new taxes and fees. Newman won his seat last year by less than 1 percent of the vote. A recall date has yet to be set by the governor as the process is still underway. When DeMaio spoke at a North San Diego Business Chamber event last spring that focused on the gas tax, DeMaio said his goal is for the Democrats to lose their super majority in the state Senate and Assembly by going after their most vulnerable legislators. “Once we qualify this initiative for the ballot, 2018 will be remembered as the year we had another taxpayer revolt in California — where the outrageous car and gas taxes were reversed by voters and the politicians that enacted those tax hikes are punished at the ballot box,” DeMaio recently said. If voters overturn the new taxes and fees at the polls, DeMaio said on Monday the state will have to eliminate them as soon as the election results are certified, by early December 2018 at the latest. He said the coalition is also looking into the possibility of Californians getting a refund for the extra taxes and fees they will have to pay over the next year.

will generate 300,000 kilowatt hours per year and have a capacity to cover 80 percent of Rancho Bernardo Community Park’s needs, serving the Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center, field lights, parking lots and outdoor basketball courts. Due to an agreement between the Ed Brown Center and the group that operates the tennis courts, which each pay their portion of the electricity they use, neither can use the power generated by the solar panels, but the arrangement “could change in the future,” Brencick said. EBC President Lynn Wolsey said while the center cannot for now benefit from the solar-produced electricity — though its board of directors is interested in such an arrangement — the center will gain a shaded patio area behind the center for its members to use. In addition, the parking spaces in front will also be shaded. Brencick said the solar canopies will also provide additional lighting for improved safety and security.

The city has a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with (Onyx).” Brencick said the Rancho Bernardo project’s total capacity is 180 kilowatts. Over the next 20 years the endeavor is projected to offset more than 5.7 million kilowatt hours of electricity that would otherwise have to be purchased through the power grid. Besides financial, other benefits include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, added resiliency, a reduced reliance on nonrenewable energy sources and a shaded parking lot area, he said.

FROM FIRE, A1 but their injuries were too severe. They were pronounced dead at separate hospitals later Saturday morning. Their father, Henry Lopez, 37, was also rescued from the blaze and remains in serious condition. Court records show he had threatened a month earlier to burn down the condominium. The fire was reported at 3:18 a.m. Saturday by someone who was driving by the complex on Bernardo Terrace, off Bernardo Center Drive and Regalo Lane. The 911 caller reported flames coming from a second-story bedroom window, said Holden. The siblings were upstairs with their father when firefighters arrived four minutes later. The firefighters had to force their way in through the front door and pulled the victims out of the unit, authorities said. All three were unconscious, Holden said. The blaze was knocked down in about 20 minutes, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokeswoman Monica Munoz. Isabella was taken to Palomar Medical Center Poway and declared dead, while her brother and father were taken to UCSD Medical Center, where Cristos died. Both children attended Sunset Hills Elementary School in Rancho Penasquitos, where Cristos excelled in math and science and Isabella took to reading and spelling, said family friend Sam Trink. As siblings, they were inseparable and best friends, she said. “They were very outgoing, very smart, very well-liked,” Trink told the Union-Tribune in an interview. Their parents were in the middle of a divorce, and the children would stay at the condo with their father every weekend, said Trink. The mother, Nikia Lopez, had recently requested full custody

of the children, Trink said. “She’s a complete mess,” said Trink, who is close friends with the mother and whose son was best friends with Cristos. A GoFundMe campaign has been started to raise funds to help cover medical and funeral costs. As of Wednesday morning, $30,986 had been contributed toward the $48,000 goal. Go to gofundme.com/qgfy9kec. Nikia Lopez, who works as a preschool teacher, is a breast cancer survivor who has been caring for her own mother battling cancer. She moved into a nearby apartment after separating from her husband and cared for the kids during the week. The children are grandkids of Chargers Hall of Famer Paul Lowe. The father of the two children had threatened a month earlier to burn down the condominium that he and his estranged wife own, court records show. The wife described the argument that led to the threat while requesting a restraining order. She said she texted her husband on Sept. 17 about a mortgage payment he had missed. He told her he would make the payment as soon as he got paid. They then briefly discussed their plan to sell the home and finalize their divorce, she said in the court document. The conversation escalated after she suggested consulting a real estate agent. He messaged that he would “fight her” and

called her derogatory names, she wrote. Then he texted: “Call ur realtor:boyfriend. Don’t ducking (sic) play me… . I will burn all of this (expletive) down,” he texted. Later that night, the woman’s mother called Lopez, who flew into a rage and said he was going to kill her daughter, court documents read. Attorney Wayne Rice, who represented Lopez when the temporary restraining order was filed, had no comment on the alleged messages. Trink, who helped the wife request the restraining order, said her friend is waiting for investigators to determine how the fire started. “We are really sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for those phone calls” from investigators, Trink said. Investigators informed the wife that some of the evidence suggests Henry Lopez tried to get the children out of the house, Trink said, but many questions still remain. “We don't know what to believe until we actually get those reports,” she said. Although the parents struggled in their relationship over the years, they tried their best to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children, according to Trink. “Henry was a good father,” she said. “He had always been a good father.” Union-Tribune reporter Lindsay Winkley contributed to this story.

Ride Above Disability Therapeutic Riding Center's Wayne Jackson, Katie Cram and Rebecca Palter with Jean Robinson and her granddaughter, Tiffiney Welles.

Ride Above Disability gives 95-year-old second chance at riding BY EMILY SORENSEN A 95-year-old last week was able to relive her horseback-riding glories thanks to her dedicated granddaughter and the Ride Above Disability nonprofit organization. Jean Robinson had not ridden one for at least 20 years, said her granddaughter, Tiffiney Welles. Welles said that she and her grandmother were watching a movie when her grandmother commented that the best time of her life had been when she had had horses. Wanting to give her grandmother the experience of riding a horse again, Welles set out to find a place in San Diego that would let her grandmother ride. “I started googling and I found Wayne,” Welles said of Wayne Jackson,

executive director of Ride Above Disability Therapeutic Riding Center in Poway. It is a nonprofit organization that teaches recreational horseback riding to children and adults of all ages with special needs. Welles said she decided to arrange for her grandmother to ride a horse after several decades because she wanted her to be excited about something. “I just love my grandmother. It’s hard to hear her say (that her riding days) were the happiest days of her life and she wishes she could do it again. I love her.” “The feeling’s mutual,” said Robinson, holding her granddaughter’s hand. Welles brought Robinson out to Ride Above Disability, which is located on Sycamore Canyon Road on Oct. 21 to meet Jackson and

the horses. The pair returned to Ride Above Disability on Friday, where Robinson had to opportunity to ride Nina, one of the nonprofit’s main therapy horses, around the arena. Robinson has been involved with horses her whole life, Welles said. She and her first husband had racehorses and she raised an Appaloosa horse named Cochise from a foal. Cochise died about 20 years ago, said Welles, and Robinson had not been on a horse since. “It was tough to lose Cochise,” said Robinson. “But here I am, trying again.” Robinson said it had been “quite a few years” since she had ridden a horse and it was nice to be back on one again. “When you’re in good shape, that’s when it’s fun.”

She said she thinks she is past her riding days now at 95 years old, but it felt good to be around horses again. Welles said her grandmother was a very independent woman who has been widowed twice and used to live on a four-acre property along the Fresno River, where she handled everything herself. “When she got a pacemaker (about 10 years ago), the only thing she was mad about was that she couldn’t use her chainsaw anymore.” Robinson and Welles complemented Jackson and Ride Above Disability for the work they do with therapeutic riding. “I think it’s very special what Wayne is doing,” said Robinson. “There’s nothing like the bond between a horse and rider.”

OUR READERS WRITE I recently met with San Diego City Councilman Mark Kersey to discuss a topic that is close to my heart, the ability to rent my home on a short-term basis. I could tell Kersey and his staff are well intentioned and have given a lot of thought to this issue. As an Airbnb host for over three years, I am generally encouraged by the recent proposal from Councilmembers Ward, Kersey, Alvarez and Sherman. I am a disabled senior and my biggest asset has become my biggest lifeline. I rely on Airbnb to keep my home. While I am glad to see the city moving toward more clarity on this issue, the fees and taxes included in this proposal worry me. The combination of the two would decrease my income, and in turn, make it more difficult for me to pay my medical bills and other day-to-day expenses. I am a responsible host and told Kersey about my experiences of hosting traveling nurses, families and grandparents. I also told him how much my neighbors enjoy meeting my guests who come from all over the world to visit San Diego. As a proud San Diegan, my hope is that City Council comes together on a solution that protects hosts like me. Susan Adams Rancho Bernardo

OPINION

I’d like to offer my heartfelt condolences to Catherine L. Kaufman, the “Kitchen Shrink,” for the recent loss of her mother to breast cancer. Her Oct. 12 column for Breast Cancer Awareness Month was especially well-written and must have been difficult to write under the circumstances. As a board-certified specialist in oncology nutrition, I feel compelled, however, to clarify the relationship between added sugars and cancer risk. Sugar, regardless of source, does not directly cause cancer. Rather it is the association between added sugar and being overweight or obese which is strongly correlated with cancer risk. The CDC reported earlier this month that weight is a risk factor for at least 13 types of cancer, including breast cancer. Cutting back on added sugars may be one strategy people might use to manage their weight. All added sugars are composed of glucose and/or fructose and are empty calories. “Natural” sugars are not healthier. While honey and maple syrup may contain some potentially healthful compounds, they are present in amounts too small to confer benefit. Stevia, also mentioned by Kaufman, is a calorie-free sugar substitute that may help some people cut back on their calorie intake from sugar. In addition to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends following a plant-based diet and getting at least 150 minutes of exercise a week to reduce cancer risk.

Forum proves popular The response to the Oct. 26 article “Widow organizes forum to help others plan for death” has been overwhelming. By 1 p.m. that day there were 65 reservations for a room that holds 58. There now are 56 others on a waiting list and the calls continue to come in.

Attempts are being made to secure a date and venue to hold a second forum after the first of the year. Most have been contacted that have left messages on the machine, but others may have been discouraged when their call did not go through due to the answering machine being full. If you did not receive a personal call confirming your reservation for a possible additional forum, please call back and leave your name, number and email address. The subject is a much needed one to be discussed and it became a passion for me to personally help others before experiencing a sudden death or a catastrophic illness of a spouse or family member. Thanks to all who displayed an interest and know that work is being done to establish an additional date. Mary Karscig Rancho Santa Fe

Sometimes words speak louder than actions. How does not standing for the national anthem compare to someone calling a true patriot, one who would not leave his men in a POW camp in Vietnam, a “bad soldier?” I honor only the men and women of the services who actually put their lives on the line instead of some demigod who may put them in harm’s way to fulfill his ego.

Support group thriving

Great synopsis by columnist Dick Lyles of the National Football League’s overpaid brats wanting attention by thumbing their noses at our national anthem and the symbol that represents the lives lost to give them the very freedom to protest. To now claim that it's not about the flag, but racism, is just another crock. What percentage of the NFL players are black? Keep up the good work, Dick. You have a silent following. Columnist Amy Roost should find another place to roost with all her lengthy babble of "feelings" without action on her own behalf. She doesn't represent Rancho Bernardo, nor does she even live here, so what she says is not relevant to our community.

We have the best people in all this world right here in Rancho Bernardo and Poway. I started a support group a year and a half ago for macular degeneration and eye-related problems. It has changed the lives of dozens of your readers. We are a happy, fun-loving group that have learned a lot about vision loss and acceptance. I am grateful for your publications and the volunteer drivers who make this possible. Because of this, we have new members joining each month. Your continued support is greatly appreciated by our entire group. Rosalie Merrick Rancho Bernardo

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

Nothing will change in Hollywood

ore than anything the latest Hollywood perversion scandal has revealed the level to which deviant behavior is taken for granted in our culture. The scandal also showcases the degree to which hypocrisy is now the norm for most public conversation about sex. Before explaining why these are true, however, let me state unequivocally that I believe Harvey Weinstein to be among the worst kind of pervert. He should be behind bars for his behavior. Additionally, I completely sympathize with all his victims and feel true pain on their behalf. Unfortunately, our collective revulsion for

Weinstein’s behavior and sympathy for his victims will make no difference for future work-place sex deviants or their victims — especially in Hollywood. The reasons are complex, but unless we face the facts honestly, nothing will change. Here are several reasons why. The victims here are true victims and shouldn’t be blamed for what happened to them. Unfortunately, however, in many ways they were set up. Even though in this case the number of victims is staggering, the sad truth is that there are more women who willingly traded sex for favors because — rightly or wrongly — they learned early on that this is

Just Sayin’ BY HARVEY LEVINE

Hostile takeover or liberation?

e are just a year away from what is destined to be a test of democracy in America. It seems as if we will be in for a bare-knuckles fist fight between traditional conservatives and a militant right wing bent on pushing the old guard onto the trash pile. To some, it may feel like liberation. To others, a hostile takeover. For several months, Republicans have been jockeying to find their voice. In the midst of their weaving back and forth on policy and politics, we have seen abuses and disarray so rampant that even seasoned conservatives are sounding off about the failure of the current administration and congressional leadership to stand for popular American values. Washington is focusing on the negative and delivering nothing of value for our people. The list of protesters lining up to voice their disgust is a who’s who of Republican standard-bearers: Michael Steele, Robert Traynham, George Will, John McCain, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, John Kasich, Steve Schmidt, Peggy Noonan, Nicole Wallace, Charles Krauthammer, Michael Gerson and David Brooks. And on Oct.

19, the finest plea to stop this affront to decency and humanity was made by a Republican of note, George W. Bush. Moreover, these are just the tip of the iceberg. But since the most recent outcry from Bush, McCain, Corker and Flake, a strange silence has fallen over the Capitol. The squeaky little mice have been quieted to a whimper. Steve Bannon has clearly and proudly announced his intent to destroy American democracy. His so-called separation from Trump is a classic deception. Handcuffed from taking down the government from within, Bannon gleefully slips into the back alleys of America to work on liberating the people from the burdens of democracy. The emasculated representatives of the people, sworn to uphold the Constitution and to serve their constituents, have gone silent. Why? Because they are terrified that the new power brokers, the Bannon-Trump coalition, will push them out of office. While working in the kitchen, my ear caught an interesting declaration on the TV (I wish I could remember

who said it), “Patriotism is the preservation our democratic system.” So where have all the patriots gone? Is a person who works or colludes to destroy our democratic system a traitor? We need not to go back too far in history to find classic examples of the current subversive plot. In Europe, in the 1930s, democracy fell to a fascist scheme, built on breeding contempt for “outsiders” and for the legitimate government. It appealed to the raw emotion of a populace hurting economically and gave them scapegoats upon whom to disgorge their anger. The irony is that there are no winners in this hostile takeover. The so-called representatives of the people will become puppets of a totalitarian regime, marching in goose-step columns like North Koreans celebrating another rocket launch. The economy is unlikely to improve, leaving all of the unemployed and underemployed in the worst shape since the Great Depression. The great deceptions will continue. Affordable health care will fall victim to major budget reductions, brought

one pathway to success in Hollywood. Maybe not in all of Hollywood, but almost everyone in Hollywood knew it to be true at Weinstein’s company. If this weren’t true, there would be no reason to have a clause in Weinstein’s employment agreement that called for him to pay the costs should anyone file a sexual harassment claim against him. The sexual revolution has created a huge dividing line between men and women who believe sex is for love and intimacy, and those who believe it is “just another tool in my career kit.” This attitude imposes an overwhelming burden on people of virtue who want to pursue their careers based on merit. Another reason the underlying issues of systematized sexual harassment and perversion in our culture will not be addressed responsibly is because Weinstein is such an unsympathetic villain. By piling on Weinstein, and well they should, they are overlooking the pervasive Hollywood mindset that makes this behavior problematic far beyond the Weinstein atrocities. This is a far bigger problem for Hollywood than Weinstein and women. It also includes men and children if you choose to believe Kevin Sorbo and Corey Feldman, among others. Too many agents, managers and publicists encourage the talent they represent about by lowering taxes for the rich and increasing the deficit. Tax reform – a code word for preferential treatment for domestic oligarchs – will fail to achieve anything except to reduce the burden on the 1 percent. The concept of trickle-down economics has been repeatedly proven to be an illusion. It’s akin to selling something at a loss and making it up on the volume. Economist/columnist Paul Krugman, in a July 31 op-ed in the New York Times, quoted Irving Kristol, the godfather of neo-conservatism. Kristol in the 1970s embraced supply-side economics – the claim, refuted by all available evidence and experience, that tax cuts pay for themselves by boosting economic growth. Krugman goes on to write that years later, Kristol actually boasted about valuing political expediency over intellectual integrity: “I was not certain of its economic merits, but quickly saw its political possibilities,” Kristol wrote. Krugman continues, “The problem is that once you accept the principle that it’s OK to lie if it helps you to win elections, it gets ever harder to limit the extent of the lying – or even to remember what it’s like to seek the truth.” Unless the people wise up, and recognize the difference between political expediency and intellectual integrity, our democracy will fail and the “leader of the free world” will wither in disgrace. A Rancho Bernardo resident, Levine is a retired project management consultant and the author of three books on the subject.

to go along by saying, “it’s only sex” or “just go along once and then we’ll move on.” Many feather their own nests by serving as de facto pimps for those they represent. Left-wing feminists have put themselves in a bind on this issue. On one hand, they believe that if a woman (or a man, for that matter) wants to use her body to get ahead, she should have that choice. But when that attitude creates an expectation among others that everyone should engage in sexual activities to get ahead, they don’t quite know how to respond. So, they keep quiet and engage in after-the-fact public hand-wringing by saying, “I should have said something years ago.” How easy it is these days to cleanse one’s conscience! The final reason nothing will change is that Weinstein will probably avoid having charges brought against him. Not only is that an insult to his victims, it sends a message that the consequences for such heinous behavior are meaningless and victims have no recourse. Future victims — and there will be many — will be less likely to speak up in the future. Worse yet, future predators will become even more bold and aggressive. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

Then and Now BY MARY SHEPARDSON

Third time was charm for Lake Poway

or most Powegians it’s hard to imagine our town without Lake Poway. The beautiful lake provides ample storage of imported water for our needs and is a major focus of recreational activities ranging from fishing to hiking, biking and horseback riding. Getting it constructed, though, was no easy task. When Poway first got a public water supply in 1954, it was a great relief to farmers and homeowners who were running out of water from wells. It also opened the door for explosive growth in the number of both farms and residences. While the available flow from the aqueduct carrying water from the Colorado River was adequate for Poway’s current needs, storage facilities — those round metal structures that dot hilltops around town — would not be adequate to supply water in case of an earthquake or other interruption to the aqueduct. In 1962, Poway Municipal Water District directors received a report that the tank capacity of 17 acre feet was less that what was required by customers for two hot summer days. The proposed solution was to build an earthen dam in Warren Canyon (named for a family that

had long lived there), east of Espola Road and north of the new Poway High School. The dam would be 160 feet high, 1,060 feet wide and create a 72-acre lake near the current aqueduct take-off. Construction, it was estimated, would cost $2.16 million. The district didn’t exactly have that sort of cash in the bank, so they would need to gain voter approval for a bond issue. In March 1964, the bond issue came to a vote. The campaign was, to put it mildly, lively. Major opposition came from a group seeking annexation of Poway to the City of San Diego. (See the June 3, 2017 “Then and Now.”) While that effort went down in flames, their opposition was probably a factor in the failure of the bond vote. It received a majority of the votes, 59 percent, but failed to reach the two-thirds required to pass a bond issue. The water district board vowed to bring it back for another vote in a few months. Instead, the PMWD waited until June 1966. Directors sought approval for $2.3 million in bonds to acquire the land and build facilities including the dam, water storage facilities, recreation area and a filtration plant. Actual cost of the project was estimated at $4.3 million, with the district hoping to secure the additional $2

million in federal funds. The Citizens Committee for Better Government was formed in opposition to the bond proposal. Chairman Robert Marsden claimed that the dam would primarily benefit grove areas at the expense of small homeowners. Cass Rollins, a major backer of the failed effort to annex to the City of San Diego, also came out swinging. Most Poway civic organizations in town and the Green Valley Civic Association were on record as favoring the project. Once again, the measure got the support of a majority of voters, and once again it failed to get the required two-thirds majority. It took a while for the district to get ready to try again. It lobbied hard for commitments of state and federal money and refined their proposal for recreational facilities. A vote on a $3.2-million bond for Poway went before the voters for the third time in June 1969. This time, the project would include funding from a state Davis-Grunsky grant of $959,500 for recreation facilities and fish and wildlife enhancement. An additional $1.64 million would come from federal and other sources.

This time around, there was no organized opposition to the proposal. With all this planning behind it, the third time was the charm. With a heavy voter turnout, despite rainy weather, the measure passed with 87 percent in favor. Bonds were sold in November of 1970, and groundbreaking for the massive project took place the following month. In the spring, plans were approved for the recreational facilities, including 75 picnic tables, restrooms, parking facilities, a boating and fishing concession building and pier as well as a building for food preparation and serving. Water began flowing into the dam late in the year, with construction on the recreational facilities beginning the following March and the formal dedication held in October 1972. So, whether you’re enjoying a picnic on the grass overlooking the lake, angling for a record-setting bass, watching softball, using the archery range, or hiking up MountWoodson to Potato Chip Rock, give a thought to the efforts it took to make Lake Poway a reality.

Broncos host Titans in rivalry game

HERE IT COMES

JOSH DAFOE

Del Norte co-captain Jake Simeroth fires at the net during a Oct. 24 match at Poway High. Poway won, 14-6.

BY TERRY MONAHAN When Rancho Bernardo plays Poway in football, it is definitely a huge rivalry, going back to the opening of Rancho Bernardo in 1990. The records don’t matter. If a league championship is on the line, it doesn’t count. If playoff positioning is up for grabs, no one thinks about that until after the game. This year, it’s a rivalry game only because Ramona on Friday will win the Palomar League championship if it defeats Del Norte, a team with one victory. Rancho Bernardo started slowly, losing its first four games, but the Broncos have since hit their stride, winning won four of their last five league games. For Maranatha Christian, it’s simple. The Eagles have clinched a share of their first Pacific League championship and a win Friday at home against Parker gives them sole possession of the crown. Here is a closer look at this week’s games: Poway (3-6, 2-3) at Rancho Bernardo (4-5, 4-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Poway lost to Ramona 42-7; Rancho Bernardo beat Del Norte 38-0. Notes: Rancho Bernardo has identified its top weapons on offense and that is QB Noah Morris, who has passed for 599 yards and six TDs with WR Malcom Ross-Turner being the top target with 29 catches for 547 yards and seven TDs. RB Tahj Martin lends speed to the attack with 87 carries for 483 SEE FOOTBALL, B3

Del Norte’s Henderson leaving volleyball to become model BY TERRY MONAHAN Hailey Henderson, who has always been the tallest girl in class, started in volleyball where you would expect - as a middle blocker at age 12. The 6-footer switched to setter for a short while and took a turn as an opposite before settling in as an outside hitter during Del Norte’s run last year to the Palomar League and San Diego Section Division I championships. The Nighthawks claimed the first CIF title in girls volleyball last year with a 25-16, 26-24, 25-23 win over Otay Ranch in the championship match. At the same time, Henderson was wrestling with a life-changing decision. It was so dramatic that it involved giving up her passion and pursuing a totally new adventure that has a short window of opportunity. Henderson, now a senior, is forgoing playing volleyball in college to become a model after signing with Pulse Management out of Hawaii. “It’s kind of sad leaving volleyball behind,’’ Henderson said. “I decided to do this now because modeling is such a short career. I plan to do college sometime after modeling ends.’’ Henderson’s final regular season in

volleyball at Del Norte ended last Thursday at Mission Vista. The Nighthawks, 19-13 overall, wound up sharing the league title with Poway, with 8-2 league records, as they head to the postseason for one more CIF title run. In March, Henderson will conclude her academic work at Del Norte and await modeling assignments. “It took me five months to finally reach a conclusion about modeling,’’ Henderson said. “I was always going to play senior year. That was never an issue. “These last few days will be very hard. I’m probably going to cry a few times because it’s starting to hit me.’’ Henderson admitted she was never one of those girls who dreamed her whole life about being a model one day. All her efforts went to becoming an accomplished athlete playing soccer, softball and doing dance, mostly modern jazz and ballet. Modeling was not even in the picture until a talent scout approached Henderson and her parents during a volleyball travel ball tournament in Orlando two years ago. “I remember the first day of high school I was so nervous,’’ Henderson recalled. “I’m sure the first day on a shoot will be just as nerve-wracking. I’m glad my mom has to go with me until I at least turn 18.’’

Henderson’s plans include living at home for now and flying out to modeling assignments. She expects most of those trips to be to New York. “I worry I won’t get any modeling jobs and all of this will have been for nothing,’’ she said. “The thing I’ve figured out is no one really chooses modeling. Modeling chooses you.’’ Once she is done with classes at Del Norte, Henderson can spend some of her waiting time playing piano at home. According to Henderson, it was a family rule that each child had to learn to play, although she said her younger brothers disliked it and quit playing. “I can’t read music, which makes this so funny,’’ Henderson said. “I learned how to play off YouTube.’’ Friends, when they find out her hidden talent is tickling the ivory, are dumbfounded, she said. “They don’t believe me,’’ Henderson said. “They make me play something as proof.’’ Her favorite song to play is “On My Own” from “Les Miserables.” When colleges does roll around, Henderson plans to major in business and broadcasting. “Maybe I’ll be a newscaster,’’ she offered.

FROM FOOTBALL, B1 yards and three TDs. LB Luke Manos leads the defense with 70 tackles to go with three sacks. DB Jonny Tanner (60 tackles), LB Adam Burdette (51 tackles, 7 sacks) and DL Dustin Connelly (8 sacks) will have to deal with Poway’s offense that has sputtered with 14 points in the last two games since a 37-36 overtime loss to Westview started a three-game skid. Rancho Bernardo has won the last three meetings and leads the rivalry series 17-9.

Poway native offered unique installation at Without Walls Festival BY EMILY SORENSEN A Poway native recently debuted a new theater piece at the La Jolla Playhouse’s “Without Walls Festival.” Lily Padilla, who was born and raised in Poway and is earning her MFA in Playwriting at UC San Diego, co-created the audio installation piece with Dylan Key and John Burnett for the festival. It was uniquely tailored to the space Padilla was assigned, the old grain silo at Bread and Salt, a former bread factory turned performance space in Logan Heights. “(The Without Walls Festival) is a place-specific festival,” said Padilla. “The idea is to take theater outside of traditional performance spaces and use raw spaces (to shape the performances).” She had originally pitched a different piece for the festival, but was asked to create a new piece with a sound installation for the grain silo. Her piece, “And Then You Wait,” tells the loose story of three families who have turned the grain silo into a fallout shelter and are waiting out a nuclear apocalypse and their attempts to survive despite the pressures of a collapsing world, Padilla said. She tried to make it as local as possible, she said, incorporating the grain silo itself and making the families from different parts of San Diego. The vignettes of the story are told through a month of narrative. A sound installation differs from a traditional play as it does not involve live actors. Padilla instead had the actors pre-record their performances, which were played for those walking through the installation.

The intent was for the audience to guide their own experience, Padilla said. The sound recordings were played in random orders and triggered by different locations and items, so each group going through the installation had a unique experience and received the story in a different way. Six different speakers allowed the audience to “tune in” to the story wherever they chose. “If the voices are the memories of the people who lived here, the objects are the residue of what they brought,” said Padilla. These objects included an exploded guitar, which if the

audience members reached inside, they could find scraps of music, a journal left by one resident and objects and drawings left by a little girl. Objects were also hung from the silo’s 80-foot ceiling so if the audience looked up, they’d see parts of the story above them as well as around. “The goal was to build layers of revelation.” The audience, which consisted of seven people at a time, explored the dark space with flashlights. “We wanted to maintain a personal experience,” Padilla said. Padilla said the piece, which features characters in a loose story, was a challenge for her because up until now, she has worked on more traditional plays with live actors. While Padilla said she might develop

something from the characters and story she created, the installation will most likely never be shown again, as it was specifically created for the grain silo, unless the silo wants to host it again. “The characters in the story were so interesting, they could be part of a play. I love re-imagining (works),” she said. Padilla began acting in musical theater at the age of 6, when she said her mom got her involved because she didn’t have many friends. “I was into writing short stories, probably to a fault.” She kept up acting through high school, attending Poway High School before transferring first to a school for the arts in Coronado and then a boarding school for the arts in North Carolina. She studied theater and design at NYU Tisch, took a year off to travel and when she returned, decided she did not want to audition for plays. Padilla said she developed her love for playwriting during an internship at a play development center, where she received feedback on her work from staff. When the staff asked to produce one of her works, Padilla called the experience “revelatory,” saying it was a major turning point for her. She returned to San Diego in 2015 to study at UCSD. “I hadn’t planned (to return to San Diego),” she said, “but I love being back.” Padilla is working on a show called “How to Defend Yourself,” which is the story of a self-defense class run by the vice-president of a sorority at a San Diego university after a series of campus rapes. Despite the heavy subject meeting, Padilla said she thinks her work tends to be comedy. “It’s the only way to get the medicine down.”

Peter Sprague Quartet performs Wednesday BY EMILY SORENSEN The Rancho Bernardo Library’s jazz concert series continues with a performance on Wednesday by the Peter Sprague Quartet with vocals by Rebecca Jade. The concert, which runs from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m., will be held in the library’s second floor community room, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. It is free and open to the public, though donations are appreciated. Children ages 7 and older may attend with a parent or guardian. Seating is limited, so an early arrival is recommended. The Peter Sprague Quartet and Rebecca Jade will be performing Sprague’s “Planet Cole Porter” project, which takes the iconic music of Cole Porter and brings Sprague’s modern musical sensibilities for a new take. “It’s a really exciting project,” said Sprague. Sprague said he and his band have taken some of Porter’s most popular songs and added their own twist, including “Love for Sale” as a salsa song, “All of You” as a Brazilian samba, “I Get a Kick out of You” as funk jazz and “Just One of Those Things” as modern jazz. The concert will also include several other Porter songs performed in their traditional manner. The project was born about a year ago when Sprague was hired to perform a concert for a woman who was curating a concert series of mostly cabaret music. Sprague said he hasn’t sure how his musical style would fit in with cabaret music. “I thought it would be an interesting take to take cabaret music and do a modern take on it,” he said. “People went crazy for it and we loved it.” Sprague and his group recorded an album of their modern takes on Porter’s music and have been performing a number of concerts featuring it, he said. He has also been working on a folk album, “Sparks and Seeds,” as well as recently releasing a solo guitar album, “Lucy in the Sky,” featuring Beatles music. Sprague is also continuing to work on a new album

with a violinist and cellist, with concerts for the new album planned for January. 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. “We’re so fortunate to have been included every year,” he said. “(The Rancho Bernardo Library) is one of our favorite venues. It’s always packed with enthusiastic listeners.” This is the second in a six-concert series, sponsored by the Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library. Upcoming concerts in the jazz series are the Larry Okmin Dixieland Band on Feb. 14, the Lori Bell Trio on March 14, the Alison Adam Tucker Quartet on April 11 and Latin Jazz on May 8.

‘Haunted Trail’ fun

n estimated 125 members of the local real estate community gathered recently at the Poway home of Melissa Huk and Bill Bailey to socialize and enjoy “Huk’s Haunted Trail,” a Halloween-themed trek through five acres, with six performance areas featuring scary actors and animatronics. Huk said the idea was to bring Realtors and staff members together after hours so they could get to know each other. “I love to bring people together,” said Huk. Assisting her with event preparations were Michele Brindle, a professional actor and makeup artist. Huk said she plans to expand the event next year and make it a fundraiser for a worthwhile local cause.

Casa Aldea offers resort-style senior living BY KAREN BILLING Casa Aldea Senior Living, nestled within a Santaluz neighborhood, offers its residents independence and wellness enhanced by services and amenities provided in an elegant home environment. The community of custom-home style residences for seniors looks and feels more like a resort with all-inclusive meals, transportation, housekeeping, a packed activities calendar, 24-hour desk assistance, a concierge and an on-site nurse in addition to the highly-trained and compassionate care team. “It really is a senior living experience unlike any other,” said Catherine Ratelle, executive director. Casa Aldea opened in June with 46 assisted living apartments and 17 memory care apartments. Casa Aldea is assisted living based on needs, offering as much or as little as the resident wants. The memory care program for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia focuses on caring for the whole person and caregivers help residents feel safe, secured and valued. The local owners have taken great care to create a space that caters to residents’ every need. Residents create their own schedule based on their interests, preferences, routines and abilities. Live music fills the grand lobby every afternoon and nightly movies are shown in the upstairs theatre, with a large screen and theatre seating. Residents can get active on the outdoor bocce ball court and putting green or choose to work out in the gym with specialized senior fitness equipment and scheduled yoga and chair exercise classes. The community also has stand-up garden beds, made so that they are easily accessible for those in wheelchairs and to prevent people having to kneel or stoop.

Casa Aldea offers assisted living and memory care apartments for seniors. herbs in the garden for farm-to-table meals. One of the most popular spaces is the salon, where residents can get their hair done or get a massage. Residents can also opt to do crafts in the creative arts room — recently it was used to prep trick-or-treating bags for visiting schoolchildren. Sports are usually on the TV in the club room, also known as “the man cave,” where there is also a poker table. Residents can choose to dine in Casa Aldea’s restaurant at any time, selecting from a full menu with specials throughout the day. “One resident said it’s like being on a cruise ship,” Ratelle said of the dining opportunities. A private dining room can also be reserved to celebrate special occasions or they can opt to hang out or entertain in the separate bistro and bar, which has happy hour every night. Throughout the space there are numerous sitting areas and gathering spaces, filled by design with beautiful estate furniture. “It’s very different from any other assisted living community, Ratelle said. “There are a lot of common areas and it is set up

ASK MR. MARKETING BY ROB WEINBERG

I made a mistake last week

t was an honest mistake prompted by two people telling me a local French café had closed. I called to confirm and got no answer. Google had no website posted for them. No malice was intended, but I was under deadline. While not a legitimate excuse, it factored into my thinking. This all led to last week’s column about a local restaurant going out of business due to lack of marketing.

Rather than driving over to their doorstep to verify the rumor, I ran with the story … and messed up. True, I never named the café. But anyone familiar with the area’s restaurant scene immediately knew it was Le Bistro de Louisa. And the mistake? Yes, you guessed it, Le Bistro de Louisa is alive and well. Within an hour of my Facebook posting I heard from a dozen people challenging my conclusions. Pat Sullivan, next door at Village

for families to be here so it allows residents to feel that they are entertaining the family in their home.” Rather than a facility with units, Casa Aldea considers itself a community with two neighborhoods. Memory care neighborhood is accessed through secured doors and it has specially designed and dedicated accommodations for its residents’ needs. To access the areas in the next-door neighborhood residents must be accompanied, although memory care has its own dining area, private courtyard and gathering spaces. In the assisted living neighborhood, residents can choose from studio, one bedroom or two bedroom apartments with small kitchenettes— residents bring their own furniture. Inside the residences, there has been extreme attention to detail, both aesthetically and for convenience and safety. As an example, inside the bathrooms there are granite countertops and slate floors, shower stalls with grab bars and a bench, with a call-system if a resident needs assistance. Throughout the apartment, shelves and closet rods are low and many cabinets feature pull-out racks to make sure everything is easily accessible and allows residents to retain independence. While the rooms are designed to offer every convenience and comfort, Ratelle said one of Casa Aldea’s goals is for residents never to be in them. “Really the best medicine is the socialization, that is the beauty of living in assisted living,” Ratelle said. “Instead of just sitting at home, they are eating meals with someone, making friends and doing activities. It’s a change in their quality of life. I’ve seen people’s health improve just by moving in.” To learn more, visit casaaldeaseniorliving.com — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Mail & More, reported dining there Friday night. OOPS! So let me say, publicly and loudly, that I WAS WRONG. Louisa’s still in business, taking reservations and serving delicious French food. In fact they appear to be thriving, providing a taste of France here in North County. They’ll happily welcome your party tonight for dinner. The lesson we can all take away concerns the importance of verifying your facts before assuming rumor, innuendo and guesswork is truth. No matter how trustworthy the source of that rumor. No, I won’t call them alternate facts or some other euphemism. It was a mistake. An honest one, but nevertheless I was wrong. After writing this column for over 11 years, I guess it was inevitable that I’d slip up at some

point. Mom told me words can hurt, and my words last week had potential to negatively impact someone’s bottom line. So I’m telling the rest of the story and encouraging everyone to go there for some onion soup and a glass of wine. And while I maintain more people would dine at Bistro Louisa with more active community outreach efforts on their part, that point’s been made already. My thanks to those who caught my mistake, and apologies to those I accidentally misled. This helps remind me of my responsibility to the truth and to taking extra time to get my facts straight. Bon appetit! With that said, I wish you a week of error-free marketing. Contact Mr. Marketing at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Median home price in San Diego County climbs in September (CNS) - The median price of a home in San Diego County rose by 8.1 percent in September, compared with the same month a year earlier, while the number of homes sold dipped by 6.2 percent, a real estate information service has announced. According to CoreLogic, the median price of a San Diego County home was $535,000 last month,

up from $495,000 in September 2016. A total of 3,553 homes were sold in the county, down from 3,786 during the same month the previous year. A total of 20,956 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to CoreLogic. That was down 12.9 percent from 24,055 in August

and down 1.7 percent from 21,325 in September 2016. The median price of a Southern California home was $505,000 in September, up 1 percent from $500,000 in August and up 9.8 percent from $460,000 in September 2016. “The Southern California median sale price climb back to the peak it reached more than a

decade ago reflects the region-wide strengthening of home prices, which has boosted homeowner equity and helped spur consumer spending and economic growth,'' said Andrew LePage, research analyst with CoreLogic. “In inflation-adjusted terms, however, the region's median last month was still almost 13 percent below its 2007 peak.”
