Buy Thanksgiving Luncheon tickets by Monday

INSIDE

An Edition of

50 cents (includes tax) |

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK There are just a few days left to purchase tickets to Rancho Bernardo’s 27th annual Thanksgiving Luncheon next week.

The community-wide event will begin with a reception at 11 a.m. followed by a traditional Thanksgiving turkey meal at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 22 in the Rancho Bernardo Inn, 17550 Bernardo Oaks

Drive.

Tickets are $50 per person, available online at tinyurl.com/RBThanksgiving16.

Tickets may also be purchased via check. For details, contact Miguel Lopez at 619-814-1326 or miguel@sdfoundation.org. The deadline to purchase is noon Monday.

The luncheon, organized by the

Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation, serves as an official kickoff for Rancho Bernardo’s holiday season and as a fundraiser for the foundation, which uses the proceeds for the community’s annual grants program, said Debbie Kurth, luncheon chairwoman and foundation president.

She said on Tuesday that around 300 tickets had been sold and organizers are hoping for 400 to 500 attendees. “Ticket sales (traditionally) go up the last week,”

Kurth said.

During the luncheon there will be a silent auction, opportunity drawing and presentation of $70,200 in grants to 26 local organizations and projects that directly benefit the Rancho Bernardo community.

Serving as master of ceremonies will be state Assemblyman Brian Maienschein. Providing musical entertainment will be saxophonist Rocky Powell, who performed at last year’s event.

The 5K and 10K will start on Dove Creek Road at Cross Stone Place and include dirt trails in the community’s open space. Runners will be provided timing chips. This is a USA Track and Field Association sanctioned event.

The fun run will take place within 4S Ranch Community Park, where the other two races will conclude. The park is at 16118 4S Ranch Parkway. All runners will receive medals and shirts. After the races there will be a family festival in the park.

The festival will include a Karl Strauss beer garden and entertainment.

Entry fees are $45 in advance and $50 on race day for the 5K, $55 in advance and $60 on race day for the 10K and $20 in advance and $25 on race day for the Kids Run. Race day registration will begin at 6 a.m. if the race is not sold out. Cash or checks will be required. Those who pre-register can pick up their packets from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 23 or for a $5 convenience fee pick up their packet on race day. To register, go to CommunityHubEvents.com.

Proceeds will benefit the 4S Ranch-Del Sur Community Foundation and Helen’s Closet, a non-profit that provides comfort equipment to terminally ill patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS or Lou Gherig’s disease.

PUSD has new interim superintendent

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Unified School District Board of Education approved the contract of its new Interim Superintendent Tony Apostle at Tuesday night’s monthly board meeting.

Apostle will stay with the district until it hires a full-time superintendent in late January or early February.

Apostle said Tuesday he is thrilled to have been selected for the interim superintendent position.

He hails from the Seattle area of Washington, where he spent decades in education as a teacher, principal and administrator before becoming the superintendent of the Puyallup School District in 2004. He retired in 2012. Apostle began his education career as an English teacher in 1974.

He began working as an interim superintendent in November 2014. He has previously performed this role in the Kent School District in Kent, Washington.

He officially began his position on Wednesday, spending the day meeting with members of the board to find out what their priorities are. The next few days will see him meeting with the 39 principals around the district as well as high-level administration. Following the Thanksgiving holiday, Apostle said that he and current Acting Superintendent Mel Robertson will tour as many of PUSD’s schools as possible.

Apostle also said he is happy to help the board in any way they wish in the recruitment process for the new permanent superintendent.

He said he was drawn to apply for the position as PUSD’s interim superintendent because he has always wanted to take an out-of-state superintendent position. He is familiar with the San Diego area and has friends who live here, Apostle said.

Apostle’s contract was approved unanimously after the removal of one clause, which restricted Apostle to only working 560 hours for the district. This clause is meant for superintendents

As Apostle is from out-of-state, board member Kimberley Beatty said, there is no need for the restriction.

The board also: • Approved the monthly budget revisions for October. These revisions took into account comments made last month by Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff, saying she would like to see proposed budget cuts made over two years, rather than all in 2018-19. The newest revisions show proposed cuts of $10 million in 2017-18 and an additional $10 million in 2018-19.

• Approved the special tax refunding bonds for Community Facilities Districts Nos. 6 and 10.

Savings for these refunding bonds will be about 5 percent less than originally anticipated but still within acceptable limits for the district. The board voted 3-2 in favor of the bonds, with Beatty and board member Charles Sellers voting no.

Rancho Bernardo man joins touring horse circus

BY PAM KRAGEN When he was a little boy, Steven Paulson loved animals so much that he wanted to be a dog when he grew up. Then in eighth grade, he discovered horses.

From ages 16 to 20, Paulson traveled the country playing polo and buying, training and selling more than 30 polo horses. Now, the 25-year-old Rancho Bernardo man has run off to join the horse circus.

Since April, Paulson has been a featured rider and trainer in Cavalia Odysseo, a Canadian tent circus that each night features 48 riders, acrobats, aerialists and musicians performing with 40 horses. Since 2011, Cavalia Odysseo has played in 26 North American cities. Next week, it opens a two-month run in Irvine, where Paulson can be seen up to six nights a week jumping horses, riding dressage and more.

He said riding a horse in the circus is a goal that was on his “dream board” for many years, and being part of the Odysseo traveling troupe is even better than he imagined.

“It’s pretty spectacular,” he said. “I love learning new things, I love the places we get to go and I’ve enjoyed becoming a part of this company. It’s like a little village and these people become your family.”

Paulson grew up in Rancho Bernardo, where his father, Kevin Paulson, said his son had a natural affinity for animal care.

Nicknamed “Dr. Dolittle” as a boy, he raised dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes and more. Then in middle school, he met a classmate who rode horses

Almost from his very first day on a horse, Paulson said he knew he wanted his life to revolve around the creatures.

“What I love about horses is that every day you get something different,” he said. “If they’re in a bad mood, you have to adapt to it. Learning to understand how they’re feeling and working with that is something I’ve always enjoyed.”

To support his hobby as a teen, Paulson groomed horses at the Poway Polo Club in

exchange for lessons. Using money he earned exercising other riders’ horses, he competed on interscholastic and club polo teams that took him all over the country. On his 16th birthday, he bought his first horse, Marley, an 11-year-old thoroughbred mare he still keeps today at a friend’s estate in Rancho Santa Fe. That same year, he also left Rancho Bernardo High School to do independent study so he could play polo and train horses year-round.

In his late teens, Paulson played polo year-round in Texas, Florida, Wyoming and Washington. He also worked for the family of polo legend Hector Galindo, who taught him how to buy, train and sell polo ponies. Five years ago, Paulson returned to Rancho Bernardo to join his father’s insurance company. But he quickly realized that sitting SEE PAULSON, A6

San Diego makes progress on climate change plan

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Two major goals in the city of San Diego’s plan to address climate change have already been achieved, and other targets are close, according to a report released by the mayor’s office on Nov. 10.

The targets that have been met involve greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption. The plan, approved by the City Council in December, established policies in a variety of areas, set goals compared to a 2010 baseline, and fixed target years for when to meet them.

According to the report, the climate change plan called for San Diego to emit 11 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents into the atmosphere annually by 2020. Last year, the emissions were 10.8 million metric tons, below the target already and 17 percent under the baseline of 12.9 million.

The 2015 emissions study was the first one conducted citywide since the 2010 baseline year.

The blueprint calls for just 6.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in 2035.

The plan also asked for a per-capita reduction in daily water consumption of 11 gallons, but the drop in 2015 was already 16 gallons, according to the report.

“We’ve made significant progress to create a cleaner San Diego and we’re just getting started,’’ Mayor Kevin Faulconer said.

“Measuring our progress each year will tell us what’s working and where we need to adjust course,’’ Faulconer said. “The good news is we’re on the right track and all the investments we’re making today will lead to a better tomorrow for our children.’’

Among other findings from 2015 in the report:

• Annual greenhouse gas emissions per capita decreased from 10 metric tons in 2010 to 7.9 five years later; • 35 percent of electricity used citywide is generated from renewable sources, with a 2035 target of 100 percent; • 64 percent of waste was diverted from the Miramar Landfill, 12 percentage points higher than 2010 and on the way to a 2020 goal of 75 percent; • 75 percent of gas emitted from the landfill was captured, with a 2020 target of 80 percent; and • 93 percent of methane from the wastewater treatment process was captured, compared to a hoped for 98 percent in 2020.

The plan also called for a 15 percent cut in energy use by the city government by 2020. Last year, the drop was 6 percent.

Nicole Capretz, executive director of the Climate Action Campaign, said she was pleased to see the reductions, though she added that they were short-term, expected and due to strong state leadership on climate change.

“We must remember, though, that the (Climate Action Plan) is a long-term, legally binding plan that requires immediate and bold local leadership to slash our carbon footprint in half by 2035 and protect our quality of life for our kids and families,’’ Capretz said.

“Now more than ever, in the face of a new president that does not believe in climate change, our local leaders must stand up and create a paradigm shift in how we grow our communities, power our lifestyle and move people around the city,’’ she said “We are still waiting to see that bold and needed shift.’’

FROM PAULSON, A4

changes every night, Paulson said, because Cavalia doesn’t like pushing its horses to perform when they’re tired or moody.

“I like their philosophy, that they just like to let the horses be horses,” he said. “That keeps it fun for both the horses and the riders.”

Besides performing in the shows, all of the riders are required to spend time each day training with the horses. Paulson said this has been an unexpected bonus because he’s learned so many new techniques from the show’s international riders, including stage presence and theatricality.

Paulson’s sister Sarah, 26, said she and her family were in awe when they first saw him perform in the show last spring.

“It was a shockingly cool show,” she said.

“My mom and I both cried. It was very exciting to see him fit in so well and be in his element.”

Paulson has a two-year contract with Cavalia and said he’s enjoying himself so much he may re-up for a few more years. But he admits he still has many other goals to complete on his dream board. He’d like to learn French, train dolphins, get his open water scuba diving certification and eventually settle down with a family on a ranch in the Rancho Bernardo or Poway area where he can ride horses and sell horse insurance.

Kevin Paulson said his family saw Cavalia when an earlier version of the show visited San Diego three years ago, but he never imagined that one day his son would be a part of it.

“To see him in this show, it’s something that makes me very proud,” he said.

Kragen writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune

behind a desk selling car and home policies wasn’t his calling. After earning his agent license three years ago, he carved a new niche for himself selling horse insurance policies to friends in the riding and polo industries.

Last year, he began following on Facebook the adventures of an old friend, Rebecca Ratte, who is an aerialist in the Cavalia Odysseo company. When the troupe made its first visit to Irvine last winter, she encouraged Paulson to drive up for an audition. He described the daylong tryout on horseback and in the stalls as nerve-wracking, but at the end of the day he was offered the job.

Kim Huard-Carette, a publicist for Montreal-based Cavalia, said being a good equestrian is just part of what the company looks for in its riders. They also must be good trainers and possess that rare quality of knowing how to communicate with horses.

“It’s versatility and personality both,” Huard-Carette said. “Kevin had skills in jumping and dressage, but his personality also needed to match the horses. A rider has to know how to build the horse’s confidence.

Our trainers understand how to listen to a horse’s needs and be so close to them that they know if they don’t feel like riding today.”

Cavalia Odysseo tells the story of man’s history with the horse across time and cultures, including the American cowboy culture as well as equestrian traditions in Western and Eastern Europe, Africa and South America. Paulson’s troupe includes human performers from Guinea, Ukraine, Russia, Brazil, Italy, Spain and Canada, and 11 international breeds of horses.

Lou Dellios holds two World Series tickets provided by his son Hugh, left, and Brian Lipchik.

Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1942. Lou graduated from high school in May 1945 and joined the Navy.

“I was stationed in California in October of that year and thus couldn’t attend the World Series when the Cubs lost to the Detroit Tigers,” Dellios said.

After graduating from Marquette University School of Dentistry, Dellios practiced dentistry in Waukesha, Wisconsin until he retired in 1992 and moved to San Diego. A versatile athlete throughout life, he played baseball, football and track in high school and at Carroll University in Waukeska, Wisconsin. Later, you could find Lou on tennis and pickle ball courts.

Currently, he enjoys a weekly ping pong game.

A large, official red, white and blue Cubs flag decorates the front of Lou’s home, proudly celebrating his team’s first World Series victory in 108 years.

BY JOHN STAMPFLI On the evening of Oct. 29, long time Rancho Bernardo resident Lou Dellios celebrated a life-long dream after 80-some years.

Lou and his 20-year old grandson, Reese Dellios of Chicago, ventured to historic Wrigley Field for Game 4 of the World Series.

Lou’s son, Hugh, and Hugh’s friend Brian Lipchik are Cubs season ticket holders. They gave their Saturday game tickets to Lou and Reese so grandfather and grandson could attend their first Cubs World Series game together.

Lou was born in Chicago in 1927, the very year that Cubs Park was renamed Wrigley Field.

“My family once lived in the shadow of Wrigley Field, only a block away,” he said.

“When I was about 10 years old, my friends and I started attending games during the summer. We couldn’t afford to buy a ticket, but sympathetic ticket-takers would let us in free if we lingered long enough by the turnstiles. Ever since, I’ve been a life-long Cubs fan.”

“At Game 4 of the series, when my grandson and I passed through the turnstile, each of us was given a warm pair of souvenir gloves,” Dellios said. “I was delighted to get them because I had forgotten to bring mine and my hands tend to get cold on chilly evenings. I gratefully wore them the entire game. How thrilling it was to return to my old neighborhood, to the ballpark of my childhood and to the ivy-covered brick walls of Wrigley Field to see my Cubs play in the World Series. The wait has been almost a life time.”

The Dellios family moved from Chicago to

Q UITTING W HILE A HEAD Have you ever been in a casino on a winning streak and thought to yourself, “Maybe I should cash in some of my chips and lock in some of my winnings?” It is admittedly hard to do, but I have never met a person who kept on winning and winning and then stopped because they were making too much money. Instead, the usual refrain is once the winnings are gone to look back and lament “I should’ve stopped when I was ahead.”

So what does this have to do with financial planning, other than commenting that gambling is probably not the best investment strategy?

As we approach the end of the year, your portfolio might be in the similar position to being on a winning streak in Las Vegas.

The broader markets are once again pushing up against historical highs.

Depending upon the make-up of your portfolio, it is possible that you are now over-weighted in equities. What does that mean? Let’s go back to our Las Vegas make believe weekend.

You are in your hotel room and getting ready to go out for the night. You have $200 in your wallet and think to yourself, “I am going to take half the money, $100, and have fun gambling and take the other $100 and spend it on meals and other things, but I’m not going to gamble with it.” Fast forward a couple hours and lady luck has been kind to you. You have won $200 and now have a total of $400 in cash and chips.

Your stomach is telling you to get up, cash in your chips and let’s go eat because what was supposed to just be 5 minutes of gambling has turned into hours. Your heart is telling you to keep playing because you are winning and hopefully your brain is saying “what would my financial planner say to do?”

Okay, maybe your brain isn’t thinking about your financial planner at all, which is okay.

Let’s look at the situation. You started the night with $200 in cash, allocating $100 to gambling and $100 to other expenses. Now, after your recent gambling winning streak, you have $400 in cash and chips. Of that $400 you are effectively allocating $300 to gambling, made up of the original $100 you brought down to the casino and $200 in winnings. In percentage terms, you have gone from allocating 50% of your cash in hand before you started gambling to now having 75% of your cash in gambling.

At this point, you have the opportunity to rebalance. You can take $100 worth of chips, cash out, and put that money in with the original $100 you allocated not to gambling. Effectively, you now have $200 at risk to gamble with and $200 that you are not going to gamble with, which is an equal 50/50 split just like you started the night. Yes, I admit that I am being a party pooper here, because who wants to be in Las Vegas with someone saying “rebalance your winnings, take some chips off the table”?

Let’s get back to your portfolio. This is not Las Vegas or just a few hundred dollars. Your portfolio represents what you have spent years accumulating.

While other people were out spending all their earnings (and going to Las Vegas), you diligently put money away to fund your future retirement.

Putting the money away is just one component, as managing it is equally important.

As the equity markets rise, the relative weighting of the holdings in your portfolio shift. Hopefully everyone has a target investment allocation between equities and fixed income.. It is very important to periodically

review this allocation, because much like being on a winning streak in Las Vegas, a winning streak in the markets can cause you to be over-weighted in the stock market and have more at risk than you would like.

Here is what happens when you rebalance your portfolio. You start by selling some of your equity holdings that have benefitted by a higher stock market. You then take these proceeds and put them into lower risk holdings such as fixed income. Fixed income does have elements of risk, so be sure to access the risk profile. By rebalancing your portfolio and selling some of your holdings, you are effectively doing the same thing as if you were in Las Vegas and cashing out some of your higher risk gambling chips and moving that money into the non-gambling pile.

Admittedly, rebalancing your portfolio is trickier than turning in some chips. You have to decide which holdings to sell while also being cognizant of possible tax ramifications. In deferred tax accounts, you can make changes to your allocation without any immediate tax impact as those accounts are not taxed until you take distributions. It may not be possible to avoid paying some taxes if you are having to rebalance in after-tax accounts. Keep in mind that if the market rises and you don’t anything, and then drops back down to where it started, it is basically the same result as if the market never rose in the first place.

FROM PUSD, A1 “The district has never taken the legally required steps to terminate Dr. Collins from his position as a tenured (permanent) classroom teacher,” the claim says. “Accordingly, Dr. Collins is legally entitled to be serving the District as a classroom teacher within the District.” As a result, the suit says, Collins has been denied salary, benefits and “other rights and privileges” that are afforded tenured teachers.

The school board voted 5-0 to terminate Collin’s contract as superintendent after commissioning and reviewing the results of an audit of that contact. Board President Michelle O’Connor Radcliff said at the time the audit revealed over $345,000 in “overpayments and unauthorized payments” to Collins.

Collins has denied those and other related allegations.

The claim cites sections of the state Education Code says that a school administrator or supervisor, after having completed a probationary period, becomes “a permanent employee as a classroom teacher.”

It notes that Collins obtained his California single subject teaching credential (English) in

Supt. John Collins was fired by the Poway Unified School Board on July 10.

1984 and that the credential is valid until June 1, 2018.

“The District, however, has and continues to wrongfully deny him that opportunity despite his numerous requests that he be allowed to serve as a classroom teacher within the District for which he is legally entitled.”

If the district wanted to terminate his status as a tenured teacher, it should have held a hearing within 30 days of Collins receiving charges, according to the claim. He received an undated “statement of charges” at his home on June 25. He responded to the charges in writing on July 21. No hearing was ever scheduled, the claim says.

What the votes might mean

W

hat to make of the results of last week’s local elections?

Voters in Poway returned Jim Cunningham and Barry Leonard to the City Council. The pair outdistanced eight challengers, several of whom showed promise and may return to the campaign trail again in two You would think that Cunningham and Leonard could interpret their ballot success as a sign of voter confidence in the current council, but look at the results of Measure W, the proposal to allow construction of a hotel on the Maderas Golf Course. Had it passed, the measure would have required the golf course owners to present specific hotel plans to the council for review, public comment and eventual approval in order to proceed.

Yet the measure was rejected by a 52-to-48 percent margin, despite the club owners spending over $150,000 to encourage a positive vote and the opposing Green Valley Civic Association spending only $7,500.

Two possibilities here: voters were uncomfortable approving the idea of allowing a hotel on the golf course without any design specifics, or they did not trust the council to make the right design decisions. The guess here is that the first was more the case, but it might well have been a combination of both factors.

Voters in the Poway Unified School District re-elected Kimberley Beatty to a second term and decided to have Rancho Penasquitos scientist and active community volunteer Darshana Patel replace the retiring Andy Patapow on the school board. Beatty finished second in the nine-candidate race and will surely continue her role as a strong advocate on behalf of district taxpayers. Patel will be an excellent addition, we believe, bringing energy, excellent communication skills and fresh perspectives to the board.

We don’t know what impact endorsements by groups have on voters, but it is interesting to note that while Patel received across-the-board backing from groups representing teachers, classified school employees and a community coalition, Beatty was also backed by the classified group while third-place finisher Debra Cooper was backed by the teachers union and community coalition.

To no one’s surprise, Congressman Scott Peters had little trouble with Republican challenger Denise Gitsham while Assemblyman Brian Maienschein cruised by his Democratic challenger, Melinda Vasquez.

Rancho Bernardo residents will have influential new state senator, Toni Atkins, a Democrat who recently finished a term as Assembly speaker.

As of Tuesday, the race between Third District Supervisor Dave Roberts and challenger Denise Gaspar remained too close to call, with 400,000-plus mailed and provisional ballots countywide still be to be counted. It will be interesting to see whether Roberts, who has done a good job representing the inland North County portion of his sprawling district, will be able to overcome the headlines during his first term involving personnel issues in his office.

OUR READERS WRITE Stand up, speak out I was heartbroken, in tears, and so saddened by the outcome of the Nov. 8 election. It is very hard for me to believe that our country has elected a man who appears to not respect people whose color, faith, creed, nationality, ethnicity and gender differ from his own.

Whom, then, does he represent?

The election may be over, however, I believe our interfaith and intercultural work is so important at this crucial time in history.

We must all make a commitment to stand up and speak out when our diversity is being compromised. We must stand up for all faiths, creeds, cultures, races, ethnic groups and genders to maintain our rights for justice, free speech, religious freedom and all that our founding fathers stood for. We must actively support any mosque, synagogue, temple, church or gurdwara whose building or signs are covered by graffiti. We must stand up, speak out and unify and declare these things shall not be tolerated in the United States of America. We must stand and speak up for the welfare of all people. We believe in goodness, ethics, compassion, kindness in thought word and deed.

We must continue to pray for America - for its leaders and all Americans - that love leads their hearts and minds to do what is best for all Americans regardless of political affiliation, religion, gender, nationality, sexual orientation or any other particular uniqueness that we value in our diverse nation.

Rev. Dr. Abigail Albert Executive Director Poway Interfaith Team

Quote out of context I almost started this letter, “With all due respect,” however I do not respect taking quotes out of context. Columnist Barry Cronin's use of a Hillary Clinton speech regarding “Deep-seated religious beliefs have to be changed” (Nov. 3) was from a speech regarding the treatment of women achieving higher education in the Middle East.

But, then again, maybe Mr. Cronin and his friends believe that women should not have that opportunity.

The power of listening

E

xperience can be a valuable teacher, but only if one learns the right lessons.

Let’s make sure we learn the right lessons from the latest presidential campaign so America can move forward. Far too many people are drawing the wrong conclusions.

One such errant interpretation came from Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank who wrote how hard is was to console her seventh-grade daughter that her world wouldn’t come apart because Donald Trump won, even though it’s a sad day for our country and she’s deeply worried for our nation. She’s right to be worried about our nation, but not for the reasons she thinks.

Donald Trump did something unique among leaders today. He listened to the

American people. Then, after hearing their concerns, he responded. The result was the most remarkable political upset in American political history.

Let’s be clear. Mr. Trump ran against the mainstream media, the governing elite from both parties and the most powerful and well-funded political organization in history.

He was outspent $1.3 billion to $795 million.

The Clinton organization had 800 paid staff to his 150. And to be fair, he also ran against himself because of his boorish behavior. Yet he won.

Fifty-three percent of white women — many who are Democrats — voted for Trump. Despite their disapproval of his occasional vile comments, many women

ou’re sitting in a traffic jam on one of California’s busiest freeways – perhaps I-15 in northern San Diego County or I-10 in Los Angeles – listening to classical music to calm jangled nerves or just thinking.

Maybe you’re not stopped, but merely crawling along in a slow-and-go.

Suddenly you hear an ear-splitting roar from behind and a motorcycle rips past with leather-clad rider and mere inches between your car and the rider’s bike.

The noise quickly dies down as the rider moves ahead, and you are left to muse: What if you’d twitched to that side or started into a lane change?

Would that rider have splatted onto the pavement? Were you inches from a serious accident?

Never mind your feelings at that moment, or those of many others. What that motorcycle rider did, known as lane-splitting or lane sharing, will become perfectly legal in California – and nowhere else in America – on Jan. 1.

The reason: a UC Berkeley study that concluded in the spring of 2014 that

motorcyclists are actually safer if they lane-split than if they sit in traffic, waiting out jams alongside the cars and trucks with which they share freeways and other roadways.

As counterintuitive as it may seem, they are far less likely to be sideswiped while speeding between stalled lanes of traffic than if they’d gotten in line behind the cars and trucks and risked getting rear-ended, often a far more injurious event for a motorcyclist than for the driver of a larger vehicle.

Said Republican Assemblyman Tom Lackey of Palmdale, a retired California Highway Patrol sergeant and co-author of the new law, “This is a huge win for roadway safety. We are now giving riders and motorists clear guidance on when it is safe.”

That specific guidance has not yet come, but rules will be handed down by the CHP and, presumably, widely publicized before the law takes effect. As originally written, the law legalized lane-splitting only when a motorcycle is going less than 15 mph faster than other traffic and forbade the tactic at speeds over 50 mph.

Those specifics went out the window when motorcycling groups suggested the speeds were too tame, legislators preferring to leave the tough decisions to CHP experts rather than risk offending anyone who might someday vote against them.

Previously, lane-splitting was a gray area, neither legal nor illegal, but riders were rarely cited. The CHP notes that driving dangerously – as determined by its officers – is always illegal.

The idea of legalizing what many consider a disruptive, dangerous practice began with that Berkeley study, which examined motorcycle accidents statewide between June 2012 and August 2013.

The researchers, led by Thomas Rice of Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research & Education Center, studied 5,969 collisions, of which 997 involved lane-splitting.

Lane-splitting riders were more likely to be traveling on weekends, rather than weekdays, and were less likely than others to have used alcohol or carried a passenger.

They suffered fewer head

voted for him because they saw “a good man and a good father.” Others saw a successful businessman who raised and supported his beautiful daughter, Ivanka, and let a brilliant female political strategist, Kellyanne Conway, manage his campaign. The fact that he was sporadically crude, didn’t dissuade them from believing he would do good things for America.

Which leads to the true bottom line. The factor that gained Trump victory is that the good he promised for America mattered personally to people of almost every demographic. Many people saw him as the best bet to bring jobs back, fix health care and provide security.

On the other hand, Mrs. Clinton’s defense of Obamacare came across as seeking to preserve the Obama legacy while many ordinary citizens are being gouged by outrageous cost increases and broken promises. Her cavalier dismissal of email misdeeds came across as putting herself above national security. In the end, many voters saw her as self-serving, arrogant and entitled. This view contrasted sharply to Mr. Trump, who many perceived as a battler who cared about America more than self.

The election wasn’t as much about Republicans vs. Democrats as it was about the people vs. the establishment. The biggest injuries than other motorcycle riders involved in accidents and were only one-third as likely to suffer fatal injuries.

Only when lane-splitters went over 50 mph did injury incidence among them reach the same levels as for motorcyclists injured in normal traffic patterns.

This is about what long-time motorcyclists expected intuitively. Wayne Allard, vice president of the American Motorcyclist Assn., noted that lane-splitting cuts motorcylists’ exposure to distracted drivers in stop-and-start situations.

“Reducing a motorcyclist’s exposure to vehicles that are…accelerating or decelerating on congested roadways can reduce rear-end collisions for those most vulnerable in traffic.”

In short, a single study from one academic center has now produced a major change in California highway rules, with little or no consideration for the majority of drivers, who are in cars, not on cycles. The new rules may not be specific yet, but don’t expect to see many lane-splitters ticketed in the near future. For unless they are being obviously reckless, their seemingly risky practice has been legalized.

Which means other motorists can expect more and more loud, flinch-inducing moments that just might translate into better highway safety. Or the reverse. Only time will tell how that works out.

losers in this election were people on the left, the governing elites from both parties and the mainstream media. People who either felt trampled by the arrogant political correctness of the left and or abandoned by the economic self-interests of the right joined forces to voice profound revulsion.

The election was about mainstream America regaining both its sanity and its voice and demanding that common sense replace condescending dogma.

Dana Milbank and numerous other authors of both genders who wrote letters to their daughters conveying heartbroken emotion because the female candidate lost the election, missed the point entirely. Had Mrs. Clinton won, it would have been because of gender rather than merit. Despite a lengthy resume, her career performance has been generally pathetic. If the goal of gender equality is for everyone to be judged based on merit rather than gender, then this election proved we’ve truly arrived. Her backing and bankroll, gave her a better-than-equal opportunity to obtain the job. Mrs. Clinton lost because — even though America longs for a female president—she lacks the necessary merit and character.

FIRST-TIME CHAMPIONS

Nighthawks capture Division I crown Eagles win Division IV championship

BY JOHN MAFFEI There would be no fifth-game magic for Otay Ranch on Saturday night.

Winners in five sets in their previous three playoff matches, the Mustangs fell in three 25-16, 26-24, 27-25 to Del Norte in the San Diego Section Division I title match at Cathedral Catholic High. It is the first section title in program history for the Nighthawks.

“That’s a scary team,” Del Norte coach Ashton O’Halloran said of Otay Ranch. “We pushed hard to win in three because we didn’t want it to go four or five.

“They’re too dangerous.”

Del Norte (22-10), who was playing in its first section championship match since 2012, scored seven of the next eight points after Otay Ranch tied the first set at 12 and went on to win by nine points.

That set, which featured two long rallies, would be the only relatively easy set in the match.

The Nighthawks were in control of the second set, but made nine errors and let Otay Ranch (27-7) back in at 22-22. Otay went ahead 24-22, but had a hitting error on set point. Del Norte then got an ace from Megan Lueng, an Otay Ranch hitting error and a kill

by Malia Kay to win.

Del Norte led the third set 19-13 before committing five errors and letting Otay Ranch back in.

Down the stretch, the set was tied at 22, 23, 24 and 25 before UC Santa Barbara-bound senior Kija Rivers’ kill put the match away.

“Otay Ranch just kept pushing and pushing,” Rivers said. “They were really hard to score on.

“We had to push through some adversity because we didn’t want to let them back in the match.”

Rivers, who finished with eight kills and six blocks, had five of those kills and two blocks in the third set.

Junior Hailey Henderson led Del Norte with 10 kills while Karen Cordero had 10 for Otay Ranch.

The Nighthawks were tabbed the No. 5 seed in the CIF Division II State Girls Volleyball Championships. Del Norte was slated to host No. 12 Elsinore on Wednesday.

If the Nighthawks won, they would advance to the Southern Regional quarterfinals against either No. 4 Glendora or No. 13 Exeter. That match would be on Saturday at 7 p.m.

BY TERRY MONAHAN And a freshman shall lead them.

In the case of Maranatha Christian, it’s freshmen.

Three of the four ninth-graders played a major role as the top-seeded Eagles roared back from losing the first two sets to claim their first San Diego Section championship with a 20-25, 15-25, 28-26, 26-24, 15-13 victory over No. 3 Horizon Christian on Friday night in the Division IV final at Canyon Crest Academy.

Outside hitter Amy Buffini led the Eagles (25-3) with a game-high 26 kills to go with her five aces while twin sister Alysha Buffini set an offense that clicked for 59 kills in the match.

And libero Faith Pacis dug out a shot deep on the court in the final set to keep the momentum on the Eagles’ side for the moment.

“That was very interesting,” Amy Buffini said. “It all came out OK. “It sure makes it exciting for next year, though.”

It looked as if Maranatha Christian’s seven-match winning streak would come to an abrupt end as Horizon’s freshman Zoe Smith carried a Panthers attack that

registered 53 kills. Smith tallied 25 kills for Horizon (17-5).

Amy Buffini led the rebound with four kills and two aces in the third set with another nine kills and two aces in the fourth set.

Her four kills in the final set, along with five kills from Izzy Landis, opened the door to victory, which was clinched

by Landis’ 17th kill.

The Eagles were tabbed the No. 7 seed in the CIF Division V State Girls Volleyball Championships. Maranatha was slated to host No. 10 Avalon on Wednesday. If the Eagles won, they will play in the Southern Regional quarterfinal on Saturday at 7 p.m. against either No. 2 Capistrano Valley Christian or No. 15 Chula Vista Learning Community Charter.

Maranatha’s previous best season came in 2009 when it went 19-6. The program had experienced four consecutive losing seasons before claiming the Ocean League and Division IV section championships this year. The section title is the first for the school in any sport.

Broncos, Titans set for section playoff openers

BY MICHAEL BOWER There has been plenty to cheer about for Rancho Bernardo and Poway High football fans. And there could be much more cheering to come.

The Broncos and Titans both have a chance to win San Diego Section championships.

Undefeated Rancho Bernardo is the No. 3 seed in the Open Division and 9-1 Poway is the top seed in Division II. Both teams are set to play in their first postseason game on Friday night.

The Broncos will put their 19-game winning streak on the line Friday at 7 p.m., when it hosts No. 6 Oceanside in an Open Division quarterfinal game.

The Titans are set to host No. 9 Westview in a Division II quarterfinal game.

double overtime in the regular-season finale on Nov. 4. Oceanside QB Max Shuffer has thrown for 2,452 yards with 26 TDs to just seven INTs. He has also rushed for 245 yards and seven TDs. The Pirates have four WRs with over 20 catches, including Jake Gerardi (32 catches for 689 yards and six TDs) and Puka Kaleopa-Tuisee (28 catches for 434 yards and seven TDs). The running game is led by Jake Bernard, who has 65 carries for 417 yards and four TDs. Oceanside is allowing 23 points per game. The defense has registered 20 sacks, including 10 by linebacker Jesus Gonzales, and nine INTs … The Broncos have played the Pirates twice, losing 42-13 in 1990 and 15-13 in 1991. Rancho Bernardo, defending Division II and state champions, has won 19 straight. Its last loss was to Westview, 20-17, on Oct. 9, 2015. RB Milan Grice, the Palomar League Offensive Player of the Year, has rushed for 1,241 yards and 16 TDs.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Broncos QB Salazar back and better than ever

BY TERRY MONAHAN Less than two months ago, Rancho Bernardo quarterback Mark Salazar, who led the Broncos to the State Division III-A football championship, suffered a broken left collarbone against Mt. Carmel.

A Sundevil defender fell on him during a play.

He was sidelined for four games during the five weeks he could not play.

Salazar, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior who will head off to Fresno State next season, is now back on the field as a player.

“I knew I’d come back,’’ said Salazar, who passed for 2,248 yards and 21 TDs as a junior. “If you think you can come back, you will.

“I didn’t approach it like the season was over. It turned out to be a bump in the road.’’

While Salazar was out, the Broncos remained undefeated. With Salazar activated for the final regular-season game at rival Poway, the result was the same, a win to go 10-0 heading into the playoffs.

Rancho Bernardo, with a 19-game winning streak now, entertains perennial powerhouse Oceanside on Friday in the San Diego Section Open Division’s quarterfinals.

Salazar will be ready, especially after what he learned as an injured player.

Coach Tristan McCoy installed Salazar, who now has 986 passing yards with 10 TDs and only one interception, as the assistant offensive coordinator in charge of new starting quarterback Christian Lewis, who had never started a varsity game until Salazar suffered what the former linebacker called a “green stick break.’’

“The bone kind of splintered,’’ McCoy said. “It just needed to calcify.’’

So Salazar became an assistant coach on temporary assignment.

Despite losing just two games in his two varsity seasons as the starting quarterback, Salazar saw things happening on the field from a totally different perspective.

“I saw things develop like never before, not even while watching film,’’ he said. “My mental aspect got a lot better while I was out.’’

Salazar led the Broncos to the San Diego Section Division II championship last season with a 41-23 win over Mt. Carmel, a 31-30 win at Hesperia Oak Hills in a Southern California Regional game in frigid temperatures before winning the state title at home on a rainy night with a 35-14 victory over Atherton Sacred Heart Prep.

He thought he knew all about playing quarterback.

Turns out, he was wrong.

“I missed that feeling of having a helmet on and playing the game instead of being on the field in street clothes,’’ Salazar said. “In the game against Poway, the atmosphere was crazy.

“The game was the first time both teams played with identical 9-0 records with the league title on the line.

“Before kickoff, the crowd was so loud. It was what high school football is all about.’’

This week, Rancho Bernardo takes on Oceanside, which won the Division I title last season after reaching the semifinals for the 22nd consecutive season.

“We got rings last year, took lots of pictures and hung a banner in the gym,’’ Salazar said. “Now we’re in the Open Division with teams we thought we should have been in with last year.

“I’m just thrilled to have the feeling of being the quarterback back again.

“I’m super happy the guys kept winning so I could come back.’’

And use what he learned as an assistant coach to benefit the Broncos’ playoff run.

PO17

BY TERRY MONAHAN Some of the runners on Del Norte’s boys cross country team have already claimed a San Diego Section championship in track.

However, they are still chasing their first CIF title in cross country.

The Nighthawks took a giant step toward realizing that dream by winning the team championship for the Palomar League at the North County Conference Finals on Saturday at Guajome Park.

Del Norte will be one of the favorites at Saturday’s CIF Finals at Morley Field when the Division I boys 3.1-mile race starts at 10:40 a.m. Poway and Mt. Carmel could also contend for a CIF title along with Steele Canyon and Scripps Ranch.

Poway’s last CIF title came in 2009 when the Titans won the Division I crown. The next year Rancho Bernardo won that division.

Del Norte’s best effort was a runner-up finish in 2010 in Division III. “They understand what it takes to win CIF,’’ Del Norte coach Chris Jacobs said.

“I worry about getting up for one big meet like last week and then having to do it again this week.

“The final few weeks of the season is one big meet after another.’’

The top two teams in Division I advance to the State Finals, Nov. 26 at Woodward Park in Fresno. Also, individual runners not on those top teams will also advance.

Del Norte captured the Palomar League crown in its first year in that league with 46 points. Mt. Carmel was second with 51 points and Poway was third with 59 and Rancho Bernardo was fourth in 70.

Freshman Zev Feidelberg placed second in 15-minutes, 37.8-seconds behind Mt. Carmel’s Samuel Boone at 15:27.5.

Feidelberg’s teammates surged toward the top over the final mile that had junior Jaron Farnham (16:34.2) place eighth followed by senior Igor Landa (16:42.7) in 10th, senior Matthew Earney (16:45.2) in 12th and juniors Andrew Varvara (16:58.5) and Jake Kim (16:59.3) at 14th and 15th.

“Our three through six runners were within touching distance of each other at the halfway mark,’’ Jacobs said. “They really moved up the rest of the way.

“The second hill at Guajome is 800 meters from the end and we really closed after that.

“We tend to grind out races that makes you pay at the end.’’

Jacobs said the key to Del Norte’s performance was the fact that Kim, his No. 6 runner, was ahead of each team’s No. 4 runner.

“The Morley course is very similar to Guajome,’’ Jacobs added. “We should have the same kind of strategy, except it’s a little faster course.

“It should be a battle with a few teams we know very well and maybe a couple of new teams we don’t know much about.’’

Poway’s chances rely on how well

MONTE UMSTED

Jarrett Chinn hopes to help Poway compete for a section title on Saturday. senior Jarett Chinn (16:08.3), senior Michael Downs (16:23.8), senior Tyler Neal (16:45.0) and senior Kyle Kesler (17:05.1) perform Saturday.

Senior Fuyuki Kuroiwa (16:10.8) leads Rancho Bernardo along with senior Senri Kuroiwa (16:37.8), senior Jeremy Sanchez (16:54.5) and junior Wesley Domsalla (17:03.7).

In the girls race, which starts at 12:15 p.m., Mt. Carmel topped the field with Westview second and Rancho Bernardo third. Del Norte was fourth and Poway was fifth.

Westview’s tandem of Erica Barrett (18:51.8) and Ellie Misuraca (19:04.9) finished 1-2 at the league finals.

Junior Hannah Zheng (19:25.4) was fourth with freshman Katie Downs (19:27.5) of Poway was fifth followed by senior Kassady Learn (19:30.5) of Rancho Bernardo.

“Mt. Carmel came to play at league finals,’’ Jacobs said. “It was a pretty impressive performance and the Sundevils should be a big factor this weekend.’’

Jacobs figures Canyon Crest, Mt. Carmel, Westview and Rancho Bernardo should fight it out for this year’s title.

That concluded an outstanding year for the Titans, who reached the Division I team final. Poway fell 10-8 to La Jolla in the championship match, but it was the first time the Titans had reached a section final since 2003.

Last week: Westview beat Brawley 35-7; Poway had a bye Notes: These two will be meeting for a second time this season. The Titans breezed to a 31-6 win over the Wolverines on Oct. 14 in Palomar League play …

Westview, coached by Poway High graduate Kyle Williams, has won three straight. The defense has not allowed over 13 points in its last three contests and shutdown run-heavy Vista in a 14-0 win on Oct. 27. Westview will certainly want to key on Poway’s Jared Adelman in this one. The senior rushed for 125 yards and two TDs, while also returning a punt for a score and blocking a punt in this first meeting … The last time the Titans were a top seed in the playoffs they went on to win the Division I championship in 2011.

A repeat of that run will likely depend on the legs of Adelman and the defense.

Poway is giving up just 17 points per game and has scored over 40 five times …

Expect the Titans to get back to doing what it does best in this one — running the ball and playing solid defense.

Prediction: Poway 31, Westview 13

Poway Symphony Orchestra’s new season begins Sunday

Concert features works by Beethoven, Mozart, Dvorak

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Symphony Orchestra’s new season will begin Sunday afternoon with a concert featuring solo performances by Jane Masur and Naomi Alter.

The concert will be held at 4 p.m.

Sunday at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road.

Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors and $10 students and are available at the box office noon to 5 p.m. Fridays or 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, by calling 858-748-0505 or online at powaycenter.com.

Conducted by John LoPiccolo, music director for the Poway Symphony Orchestra, the concert will include “Leonore Overture No. 2” by Ludwig van Beethoven and “Symphony No. 8, Op. 88”

by Antonin Dvorak as well as Mozart’s “Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra,” which will feature guest soloists Masur and Alter performing alongside the orchestra.

The orchestra’s season will continue with a concert of as-yet-announced orchestral favorites in March and a performance of Max Bruch’s “Violin

Masur, in addition to performing as a soloist, is a member of the orchestra and will be performing during the Dvorak piece, which she described as a “really big major work” that is a lot of fun to perform for an orchestra. She will not perform during the Beethoven piece, both to prepare for her solo performance and to give the orchestra’s other flutists a chance to shine on their own, she said. This is her second season as a member of the

orchestra.

She is the former owner of Ozzie’s Music in Poway and has taught music for 50 years. Masur is also a longtime faculty member of Palomar College. “I’m still teaching full time,” she said. Since selling Ozzie’s Music, Masur said she now teaches out of a private studio in her Poway home.

Masur said she is enjoying being part of the orchestra because she enjoys performing and the practice venue is close to her home. “It’s fun, we do great pieces,” she said. “I’m so honored to be asked to do such a fun piece. It’s one flutists would pay to do.”

Alter is well-known around San Diego, where she performs at weddings and special events, as well as teaching harp in the San Diego area. Masur said she suggested Alter as the harpist for the Mozart work as she has previously worked with her through the Palomar Symphony.

Founded by Concertmaster Ulli Reiner in 2004, the Poway Symphony Orchestra’s mission is to fill a need for classical music performances in the community and provide a venue for musicians interested in playing in a full orchestra. It is organized through the Poway Adult School.

PowPAC stages a light-hearted, enjoyable holiday show “Christmas Belles” can be seen through Dec. 18

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK PowPAC’s annual holiday play is a much lighter — and enjoyable — offering than some of its other productions this season.

“Christmas Belles” is about a small Texas town church’s Christmas Eve pageant that might not occur due to several performers getting food poisoning, a “mean” drummer boy who provokes the play’s sheep to bite, an older man playing a shepherd who refuses to go on stage without his little red wagon and the new director’s “improvements” to the show that include adding an Elvis impersonator to the religious storyline.

Of course, there is also a Santa in a very smelly costume who is being tormented by a kidney stone and his wife helping backstage even though she’s overdue to give birth to twins. Then there is her jailhouse sister who accidentally burned down part of the town while seeking revenge on a cheating boyfriend. She is doing community service by “helping” with the play, but really plotting ways to escape so she can hurt her ex. Plus a mystery surrounding a newcomer to the town whom some people don’t like.

Add in the church’s minister trying to

ready to turn over the directorial reigns — and laughs are bound to occur.

All 11 cast members seemed to fully embrace their roles, regardless of how silly or serious their characters were. Among the more memorable characters were new

play director Honey Raye Futrelle (played

by Mary Ann Van Sickle), her convict sister Twink Futrelle (Christina Cunningham) and the suffering Santa Dub Dubberly (Kevin Bray), who truly appeared to be in physical pain.

The play was written to encompass many different scene locations in each of the two acts. Most were in various rooms of the church. Veteran PowPAC director and set designer Kate Hewitt did a good job in staging the scenes with minimal pauses during the transitions and, as usual, the volunteer stage design/construction crew proved once again it was up to the challenge in creatively creating the numerous settings upon the small stage.

“Christmas Belles” can be seen at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays plus 2 p.m. on Sundays through Dec. 18 at PowPAC, Poway’s Community Theater. There will not be any shows on Thanksgiving weekend.

Tickets are $22 for general admission and $20 for students, seniors and active duty military. Group tickets are $18 for groups of 10 or more. Tickets can be purchased at PowPAC.org. Contact the box office by sending an email to boxoffice@powpac.org or calling 858-679-8085.

PowPAC is at 13250 Poway Road, on the second-floor of the Lively Center. Those wanting to avoid the stairs can access the elevator in back. Parking is free.

Cooks’ Q and A for the holidays

A

s the supermarkets welcome the holiday season, aisles are overflowing with fresh cranberries, mounds of glossy chestnuts, an assortment of gnarly roots, stuffing mixes galore, bundles of fresh aromatic autumn herbs and everything Thanksgiving.

Panic also fills the air with cooks throughout the land stressing about their culinary inadequacies, whether they are hosting a holiday feast, or are contributing dishes as invited guests to other households.

Hope I can allay my readers’ fears with some deep breathing exercises, and answers to a few gustatory questions.

Q. How can you make creamy mashed potatoes without gobs of butter?

garlic and celery root for another layer of flavor and rich texture. Finally, add a spoonful of light, lactose-free Ghee (clarified) butter to top off these heavenly mashed potatoes.

Q. Is there a methodology for roasting turkey so the skin nicely browns and crisps without burning?

A. It is truly an art to whip up fluffy, smooth as silk mashed potatoes from scratch. Blenders, electric mixers and food processors will often turn cooked potatoes into an unpalatable glue-like substance that can double as an automotive epoxy. A favorite tool of top chefs is a potato ricer, preferably stainless steel that creates delicate potato shreds. Blend in creamy goat cheese or Greek yoghurt, along with roasted

A. Everyone loves an attention-grabbing centerpiece — a juicy, flavorful bird with crisp, golden skin. To achieve the latter, simply massage the skin with a high smoke point oil like grape seed, sunflower, or avocado. For the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush the bird generously with some white vermouth to give a golden glaze thanks to the sugars in this fortified wine. For a crispier skin without the booze unwrap the turkey the day before cooking, and expose the skin overnight in the refrigerator.

To prevent the turkey from getting overly browned create a parchment paper tent, and fan it loosely over the bird. Tent the turkey at the start of roasting, and please — no peeping toms allowed!

Only open the oven about 30-45 minutes before ETA, and remove the tent to allow for even browning.

tunein tunein

A. Go a creative step beyond the Tofurkey cliché. Some hearty and elegant meatless options include butternut squash lasagna, pumpkin or acorn squash risotto, wild mushroom and fingerling potato strudel with béchamel sauce, or roasted red and yellow peppers stuffed with quinoa, pistachios and goat cheese.

Q. What are some gluten-free stuffing options?

A. Anyone suffering from Celiac disease or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity needs to steer clear of the gluten protein in certain grains, especially wheat, barley and rye. You can still prepare a favorite traditional bread stuffing using gluten-free loaves, such as French or Italian herb or multigrain, and blend with chicken or mushroom broth, sautéed sweet onions, a mushroom medley, celery and fresh herbs and spices. Or try a gluten-free cornbread with tart apples and rosemary, or wild rice, quinoa, or farro with thyme and gluten-free chicken sausage.

Chestnut and sage is divine, or an assortment of roasted root vegetables with caramelized onions.

Transfer to a glass bowl and blend in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for up to two weeks.

A. Pass on high fat and sugar pecan pie and sub in apple, berry and pumpkin — and lose the top crust. A little dab will do you for the whipped cream, or use non-dairy, low-fat toppings like almond or coconut milk. A bowl of fresh berries with a balsamic drizzle beats them all.

Commonly asked questions about Covered California TO YOUR HEALTH

O

pen enrollment for Covered California, the state health insurance exchange, started this month. Since taking effect in 2014, Covered California has helped to reduce the number of uninsured Californians.

If this is your first time looking for coverage through the state health insurance exchange, now is the time to learn more about your options. And if you have been enrolled already, now is the time to renew your health plan or make any changes, including switching to a lower-costing one.

The deadline to apply or make changes is Jan. 31, 2017. You’ll need to act sooner – by Dec. 15 – if you want to make certain your coverage begins on Jan. 1, 2017.

“It’s important to learn more about your options, including physician network, prices, benefits and financial assistance available,” said Marc Reynolds, corporate senior vice president for payer relations at Scripps Health. “Take the time to carefully review all of the options presented through Covered California.”

To help guide you in this process, we’ve answered some of the most commonly asked Covered California questions.

Q: Who can enroll in Covered California?

A: Covered California was designed for state residents who are U.S. citizens or legal U.S. residents, and do not have access to health insurance through a private company, their workplace, a family member’s employer, or a government program such as

Medicare or Medi-Cal. If you aren’t covered through one of these options, you can buy health insurance through Covered California. Immigrants who are not lawfully present are not eligible to purchase a health plan through Covered California; however, they may be eligible for coverage through Medi-Cal. Q: What health plans are available?

A: Throughout California, you have a choice of buying insurance from at least two but as many as six private insurance companies, depending on where you live. In San Diego County, consumers have at least five insurance companies to choose from during open enrollment. For example, Scripps Clinic and Scripps Coastal Medical Center doctors are in-network providers on the Health Net HMO CommunityCare, Blue Shield HMO Trio and Blue Shield PPO health insurance plans that Covered California offers. Not all providers are in all networks.

Health insurance plans are sold in four primary levels of coverage: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. While plans vary, in brief you have the option to pay more for your monthly premium and less when you use care, or pay less for your premium and more when you use care. In addition to these metal-tiered plans, a minimum coverage plan is available to people younger than 30.

Q: What if I can’t afford the health insurance premiums or other costs?

A: Sliding-scale financial assistance is available if you cannot afford to pay the full cost of your premiums. Depending on your income, you may qualify for government subsidies to help keep your out-of-pocket expenses down, including copayments, or

tax credits to help reduce your monthly premiums if you cannot afford to pay for your full costs. About 90 percent of Covered California enrollees get help to pay for their premiums. In San Diego County, the figure is 87 percent.

Q: What will my Covered California health insurance cover?

A: The Affordable Care Act requires that all newly purchased insurance plans, including those on Covered California, cover essential health benefits such as doctor visits, hospitalization, emergency care, maternity care, pediatric care, preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management, rehabilitative services, mental health and prescriptions. Insurance companies cannot deny access or charge higher premiums if you have a pre-existing health condition or you become ill. Like all ACA plans, Covered California health plans also include pediatric oral and vision care services.

Q: Should I be concerned about rising premiums?

A: Premiums are rising in states with health insurance exchanges for various reasons, including in California. The increases in California have been generally lower than in other states due largely to greater participation by health insurance companies in Covered California, which makes the marketplace more competitive.

It is important to note that as premiums rise so do subsidies for those who need help buying health insurance.

Covered California officials strongly encourage consumers to shop around to find a plan that best suits them and their interest in a particular health care provider, the cost

of premiums and the cost of out-of-pocket expenses related to care, such as deductibles.

Q: What happens if I don’t enroll by the deadline?

A: If you haven’t signed up by the deadline and do not qualify for special enrollment, you won’t be eligible to buy health insurance under Covered California until the next open enrollment period in late 2018.

You may also have to pay penalties and fees for not having insurance and those can add up fast. The penalty for tax year 2016 is $695 per adult, $347.50 per child under 18, or up to 2.5 percent of a household’s adjusted gross income, whichever is larger.

You may sign up after open enrollment only if you experience a qualifying life event, such as getting married, having a child, losing health coverage through an employer, or becoming a legal resident.

Q: Where can I get help enrolling in Covered California?

A.You may enroll for health coverage through Covered California online, by phone or in person with free assistance from a certified enroller. Covered California’s website provides links to certified counselors and insurance brokers trained in Covered California insurance plans as well as county offices where you can go for help.

Visit the Covered California website: www.coveredca.com or call (800) 300-1506.

For information about Scripps Clinic and Scripps Coastal Medical Center in-network providers in Covered California call 1-800-SCRIPPS (727-4777) or visit www.scripps.org/CNP “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

County veterans forum unveils new app for services Hundreds of veterans and military families gathered Nov. 10 in Escondido for the County of San Diego 2016 Veterans Forum.

They were there to learn about county programs and resources, commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and celebrate the 241st birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

The county announced it was joining forces with a phone app called VAPP to provide easy access to County resources

for military and veterans. The app is operated by Operation Military Family and connects people to urgent services such as food access, shelter and clothing and long-term resources like educational opportunities and health care services.

San Diego County currently has eight resources available through the app: · County of San Diego Office of Military & Veterans Affairs · Courage to Call (a veteran run, peer-to-peer support program)

Speakers included retired Master Gunnery Sgt. Clint Pearman who is a certified brain injury specialist for the Defense & Veterans Brain Injury Center at Camp Pendleton.

Pearman called traumatic brain injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder the “silent injury” and said that there could be an extremely large population in our community suffering from either affliction.

“We know San Diego has a large population of homeless, and a huge

METRO CREATIVE

portion of the homeless that have traumatic brain injury issues are military,” Pearman said. “Those who are undiagnosed is probably a lot larger than the actual diagnosed population and that is a public health issue.

“There is a clear and distinct link between that injury and alcoholism, criminality and drug use.”

But there is hope. Camp Pendleton is home to the Intrepid Spirit Center, a cutting-edge multi-disciplinary concussion treatment center that will be the hub of all PTSD and traumatic brain injury treatment in the western United States, according to Pearman.

It currently serves active duty personnel but is expected to be opened up to all veterans in the near future.

CITY OF POWAY ORDINANCE NO. 792 AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858, TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE

TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NONMEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES, COOPERATIVES, COLLECTIVES AND RETAIL BUSINESSES; AND PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OUTDOOR CULTIVATION OF MARIJUANA IN ALL ZONES WHEREAS, the City of Poway (“City”) has adopted an ordinance regulating land within the City as codified in Title 17 of the Poway Municipal Code (the “Municipal Code”); WHEREAS, the City Council for the City has previously adopted Ordinance No. 736, adding sections 17.04.514, 17.08.100, 17.08.110, 17.08.120, 17.08.130, 17.08.140, 17.08.150, 17.10.060, 17.16.020, 17.18.020, 17.20.020, 17.22.020, 17.23.020, 17.24.020 and 17.26.035 to Title 17 of the Poway Municipal Code (the “Code”) prohibiting the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries, cooperatives and collectives in all zones within Poway; WHEREAS, on June 28, 2016, the California Secretary of State certified an initiative measure for the November 8, 2016, statewide general election titled the “Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act,” which initiative has received the designation as Proposition 64 (“Proposition 64”); WHEREAS, if Proposition 64 is approved by the voters of the State of

crossword

proved by the voters of the State of California (the “State”) it will legalize marijuana for persons 21 years of age and older, and will allow the State to regulate the cultivation, testing, and sale of nonmedical marijuana, including marijuana products, as well as establish statewide taxes for the commercial growth and retail sale of marijuana; WHEREAS, Proposition 64 would also make it lawful for any person, 21 years of age or older, to possess, plant, cultivate, harvest, dry, or process for private use not more than six (6) living marijuana plants within a private residence, or on the grounds of a private residence, provided that (1) local ordinances may regulate the outdoor plantings, cultivation, harvesting, drying, or processing of marijuana, and (2) “for private use” means that the person possessing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, drying, or processing marijuana may give away (without any compensation whatsoever) any marijuana or marijuana products to persons 21 years of age or older; WHEREAS, the Development Services Department (the “Department”) is undertaking an independent study to assist with the City’s determination whether persons conducting businesses to establish and operate retail marijuana stores, shops, dispensaries, cooperatives or collectives, in conformance with Proposition 64, for profit or not, should be allowed in any zone, or whether such uses should be prohibited in any or all zones; WHEREAS, the Department is also undertaking an independent study to assist with the City’s determination whether persons should be allowed to plant, cultivate, harvest, dry or process marijuana outdoors upon the grounds of a private residence; and WHEREAS, the establishment of marijuana stores, shops, dispensaries, cooperatives or collectives, and the right to plant, cultivate, harvest, dry or process marijuana outdoors upon the grounds of a private residence, in the City, prior to the completion of the studies being conducted by the City would undermine the potential enforceability of, and conflict with, any possible regulation or ban on such uses in the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The City of Poway has an overriding interest in planning and regulating development of all uses of property within the City. Implicit in any plan or regulation is the City’s interest in maintaining and improving the quality of life and the character of the City’s neighborhoods. Without stable, well-planned neighborhoods, areas of the City can quickly deteriorate, with detrimental consequences to social, environmental, and economic values. It is the intent of the City Council to assure that all neighborhoods remain well-planned and that residents maintain a high quality of life. This intent may be effectuated by a comprehensive study resulting in amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.

SECTION 2: The purpose of this ordinance is to temporarily prevent and prohibit the establishment of any retail businesses selling nonmedical marijuana, marijuana products, including nonmedical marijuana stores, shops, dispensaries, cooperatives or collectives, on any sites, for new development or redevelopment, in any zones within the City, until such reasonable time as a detailed study may be made.

SECTION 3: This ordinance is an interim ordinance adopted as an urgency measure pursuant to Govern-

gency measure pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and is for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and welfare. The facts constituting the urgency are these: Allowing the location and establishment of nonmedical marijuana stores, shops, dispensaries, cooperatives or collectives, without regulation or prohibition, is likely to create a burden on public safety resources, including both law enforcement and emergency response services, thereby reducing the quality of life within the City’s neighborhoods. In view of the facts set forth in the aforementioned Recitals of this Ordinance, it is necessary to immediately study, hold hearings, and consider an amendment of the City’s Zoning Ordinance and the adoption of regulations for the location and establishment, or prohibition, of nonmedical marijuana stores, shops, dispensaries, cooperatives and collectives as they may be recommended to the City Council by the Development Services Department. A comprehensive set of regulations cannot be enacted without due deliberation, and it will take an undetermined length of time to work out the details of the comprehensive regulations. It would be destructive of the proposed regulations if, during the period they are being studied and are the subject of public hearings, parties seeking to evade the operation of these regulations in the form they may be adopted should be permitted to operate in a manner which might progress so far as to defeat in whole or in part the ultimate objective of those regulations.

SECTION 4: (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Municipal Code to the contrary, the use of any property within any zone in the City of Poway as a nonmedical marijuana store, shop, dispensary, cooperative, or collective, is prohibited. The issuance of any permit, license, or certificate for the operation of any such uses shall be prohibited. (b) In the event that Proposition 64 is approved by the voters nothing in this Ordinance shall create any criminal liability for any individual who is possessing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, drying, or processing marijuana or marijuana products as defined in Proposition 64, so long as such activities occur indoors and in compliance with Proposition 64 provided, however, that no property is used in the City of Poway contrary to this Ordinance. Any new commercial or other development or redevelopment in the City is hereby prohibited as noted in subsection (a) above until such reasonable time as a study may be made and the Zoning Amendment and public hearing process pertaining to these matters is completed or until December 16, 2016, whichever occurs sooner, except as may be extended as provided by Government Code Section 65858. (c) In the event that Proposition 64 is approved by the voters no person shall be allowed to plant, cultivate, harvest, dry or process any marijuana or marijuana products as defined in Proposition 64 in any amount unless such activities are conducted indoors, in the person’s private residence or within an ancillary structure located upon the grounds of the person’s private residence that is locked and not visible by normal unaided vision from a public place.

SECTION 5: The City Council of the City of Poway hereby declares that should any section, paragraph, sentence, phrase, term or word of this Ordinance, hereby adopted, be declared for any reason to be invalid, it is the intent of the City Council that it would have adopted all other portions of this Ordinance irrespective of any such portioned declared invalid.

SECTION 6: This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage by a 4/5ths vote of the City Council, and in accordance with Government Code Section 65858.

A probation officer administers a test that checks for alcohol on an offender.

Grant aims to lower repeat DUIs in county

BY YVETTE URREA MOE The problem of people convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol then doing so again is a serious threat to public safety. So far in 2016, 15 new DUI offenses have been committed by those already under San Diego County Probation Department supervision for that same crime, and 16 DUI probationers have been arrested or cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license in San Diego County.

A new $560,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety will supplement the salaries for three Probation officers to help prevent such repeat crimes. The grant period extends through October 2017.

“This grant is a tremendous boost to our efforts,” said San Diego County Probation Chief Adolfo Gonzales.

“Overall, 82 percent of DUI probationers remain in compliance. That is due in part to the proactive enforcement efforts of our officers and the linking of offenders to appropriate services such as counseling, support meetings, and substance abuse treatment to help them stay sober.”

The Probation Department’s enforcement role includes intensive supervision as needed, unannounced visits and searches, random drug and alcohol testing, electronic monitoring if ordered, and sobriety checkpoints.

Probation officers also compile and send out lists of recent felony DUI offenders living in the area to the Sheriff’s department and other law enforcement agencies to keep them aware.

The grant puts special focus on high-risk repeat DUI offenders and is aimed at reducing the number of victims killed and injured in alcohol and other drug-related collisions in the county, especially by DUI probationers.

“Complying with probation orders is the first and most necessary step to keep these offenders from being a danger to themselves or others in the future,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “The Office of Traffic Safety and the San Diego County Probation Department will be working together to help keep the streets and highways safe across San Diego and the state.”

Funding for the grant comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Home Expressions by JDR grants child's wish for dream makeover

L

ike many girls her age, 9-year-old Theresa enjoys all things that sparkle and include her favorite colors, pink and purple. Unlike most of her peers though, Theresa is dealing with a life-threatening genetic disorder that has left her wheelchair dependent.

After her diagnosis, Theresa was referred to Make-A-Wish San Diego to receive her one true wish.

Because Theresa has such limited mobility, her favorite part of the day is relaxing in a warm shower but, unfortunately, the family’s existing bathroom was not wheelchair accessible. The luxury of a warm shower – something many of us take for granted – was a daily challenge.

Theresa’s father had to maneuver her out of the wheelchair through the narrow space into the bathtub each day, a difficult process for both of them, and often anything but relaxing. With all of this in mind, the perfect wish for Theresa was to have a dream bathroom makeover.

Make-A-Wish contacted the Home Expressions by Jackson Design & Remodeling (JDR) team, who enthusiastically agreed to help. After visiting Theresa and her family to see their current bathroom and discuss her needs, the team was

A wider doorway, a roll-in shower to accommodate her wheelchair, and several hand-held showerheads would make the new space functional and safe – and a beautiful design with her favorite colors would make it perfect. Her new bathroom now features glimmering metallic stars on the

A vision for tomorrow

n September, 2001, my family and I were buying a house north of Boston. Then 9/11 hit, scrambling everyone’s plans.

Our initial reaction was to stop the transaction and hide until things settled down. But with a $15,000 deposit at risk, we saw little choice but to proceed with the purchase.

Having consummated the deal, everything eventually sorted itself out.

We picked up our lives and made a future we were happy with, including moving to RB a year later.

Flip forward to Mr. Trump’s stunning upset in the presidential election.

Millions of voters unhappily watched the nation choose its new leader.

In quick succession I heard people I respect talk seriously about fleeing the country or halting major new initiatives.

Panic of the unknown and riots in the streets ensued. This was combined with wild gyrations in financial markets and comparisons to an American Brexit from sanity.

If you’re one of these people, remember how much you have invested in your lives, communities, and businesses. You can’t just go blindly running off

into the night, screaming.

Because whether or not you’re pleased with the presidential election results, we all must deal with this new reality.

Furthermore, because of America’s reach and impact on virtually everything worldwide, there’s really no place to hide as the next four years unfold.

Want the silver lining?

It’s nine weeks until the new administration is seated. This provides you adequate time to revisit your marketing plan to reflect the prospect of a Trump administration.

Reconsider your media choices, sales offerings,

on the wish child, but also on the team granting the wish. We can’t thank our friends at JDR enough for the amount of time and resources they put into making Theresa’s wish come true.”

Home Expressions CEO Todd Jackson says this project was a team effort made possible with support from generous community partners and friends, including TOTO, Rohl, Invisia, Kohler, Benjamin Moore,

and audiences. If you truly believe your business will soon go downhill, plan to invest more in your marketing to counter that potential scenario.

And what if you got the election results you wanted? You’d best quickly move beyond gloating and singing “Dong Dong, The Witch Is Dead,” lest you offend customers who don’t see the world the same way you do.

Bottom line: The election’s done. It’s time to focus once again on growing our businesses.

The distraction caused by candidates sucking all the oxygen from the room with every utterance is rapidly being replaced with the minutiae associated with actually governing.

As for me, I’m just grateful that Indecision 2016 is behind us, and look forward to a better tomorrow.

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

Making a successful offer in today’s housing market (StatePoint) Prospective homebuyers can get encouraged by the current market. Nearly 68 percent of homes sales today are to individual buyers compared to 53 percent in 2011 when investor and cash deals were at their peak. Still, competition for housing is hot.

“In a competitive market, your offer may be one of many. But you can take steps to increase your chances of success,” says Chris Bowden, senior vice president of HomeSteps, the real estate sales division of Freddie Mac. The experts at HomeSteps and Bowden are offering homebuyers five important tips for making an offer in today’s market: • Understand your finances. While it’s not nearly as fun as house hunting, fully understanding your finances is critical to helping you determine your price limit and whether your budget can cover necessary upgrades, as well as monthly expenses for general upkeep and utilities, which can run hundreds of dollars monthly.

• Act fast. When home inventory is low, the sooner you can make an offer, the better. Get pre-approved if you know you’ll need a mortgage to buy. It will help you act fast and make a confident offer.

• Make a solid offer. A strong offer will be comparable with other sales and listings in the neighborhood. A licensed real estate agent who is active

Kropf selected for ‘Top Producers Panel’ at seminar Suzanne Kropf, a top-producing real estate associate with the Rancho Bernardo office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, was honored to serve on the “Top Producers Panel” at the recent San Diego Real Estate Mastermind 2016 Summit presented

by Real Estate Executive magazine.

“Suzanne also received a plaque recognizing her among the magazine’s 100 Most Influential Agents,” Branch Manager Gregg Poiry said. “She is a leader among her peers and in her community, known for her professional service, cutting-edge marketing, tenacious negotiating, and passion for helping sellers and buyers fulfill their dreams of homeownership.”

The panel was comprised of top-producing agents who have closed $20 million to $100 million-plus per year, sharing ideas on what it takes to be very successful in the local real estate market. The national traveling event was attended by more than 300 of Suzanne’s peers at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.

Kropf began her real estate career 17 years ago and is a consistent top producer based on annual sales volume. She has earned the prestigious Chairman’s Circle

You can take steps to increase your chances of success in buying a new home. in the neighborhoods you’re considering will be instrumental in helping you put in a solid offer based on recent sales of similar homes, the condition of the house and what you can afford.

Always ask the seller for a home warranty as part of your initial offer.

That way, you’ll be covered if appliances or mechanicals fail or break down after you’re in the home.

Set your offer apart from the competition by including a letter to the seller, or offer the seller the ability to rent back their home for some period of time after closing. This can be your chance to connect beyond just dollars. Talk to your agent about other ways to make your offer resonate.

• Prepare to negotiate. Be prepared for counteroffers. The two things most

likely to be negotiated are the selling price and closing date. Given that, you’ll be glad you did your homework first to understand how much you can afford. Your agent will aid the negotiation process, giving you guidance on the counteroffer and making sure that the agreed-to contract terms are met.

• Get a home inspection. Once you’ve signed the purchase contract, always get an independent home inspection so you know the true condition of the home. If the inspection uncovers undisclosed problems you can typically re-negotiate the terms or cancel the contract.
