BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK All are welcome to witness the lighting of Rancho Bernardo’s community Christmas tree and menorah. The seventh annual lighting ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14 in Webb Park, at its entrance next to US Bank, 16816 Bernardo Center Drive. The event is hosted by the Rancho Bernardo Business Association. Organizers are advising

attendees to use the US Bank and nearby parking lots. The free event will include holiday music sung by the Del Norte High School choirs directed by Keith Sattely. An invocation will be delivered by Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein from Chabad of Poway and the Rev. Neal Nybo from Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church.

Several dignitaries are likely to be in attendance though the one getting the most attention — at least from youngsters — will likely be a special visitor from the North Pole. As in years past, Santa Claus will be available to meet with the young and young-at-heart, accepting their wish lists and posing for photos. Following the ceremony there will be an optional reception inside the bank from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Admission is $25 for non-RBBA members. SEE LIGHTING, A10

Kersey ready to start second City Council term BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK City Councilman Mark Kersey will be sworn-in for his second four-year term on Monday. In an interview with the Rancho Bernardo News Journal, Kersey reflected on the first half of his foray into politics. Councilmembers are limited to two terms and this is his first time in politics, having been a small business owner before his 2012 election. He discussed last week what lies ahead during his second term in representing Rancho Bernardo and other District 5 communities. San Diego The new council will have a 5-4 City Councilman split with Democrats in the majority. Mark Kersey Kersey, a Republican, said on a day-to-day level partisanship has not been a factor in the technically non-partisan group. That is not to say party ideologies have not come into play, however. “Minimum wage tended to fall along party lines,” he said. “Still ... in terms of the sheer number (of issues, partisanship) was in the vast minority of the votes we take.” He said disagreements were less often on issues SEE KERSEY, A11

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Donald Trump’s election should bode well for San Diego’s defense industry, but other repercussions are still too early to predict, said two local experts. Erik Bruvold, president of the National University System Institute of Policy Research, and John M. Dadian, founder of Dadian & Associates, shared their views on the 2016 elections’ impact during the North San Diego Business Chamber’s Nov. 30 Insights forum in Poway. Bruvold has been involved with San Diego politics and policy making for two decades. Dadian has worked for the past three decades in the public sector, private sector and campaigns. “Rarely have we had, in our country’s history, a unified government ... we are in unchartered territory, with not a lot of historical precedence,” Bruvold said, in reference to Republicans controlling the presidency, House and Senate simultaneously. The last time it occurred for the GOP was 2002-06, but he said since party split was so close in the Senate many of its party-line decisions went to the vice president for a tie-breaker. After that, one must look back to the 1920s, he said. Bruvold said there will likely be significant increases in defense spending. This bodes well for San Diego, where $1 of every $10 is tied to the defense industry, “a significant part of San Diego’s economy,” he said. “In terms of metropolitans, we have more military spending than any other, with 100,000 directly employed by the Department of Defense and more by San Diego defense contractors, many located in the North (County) region.” With Trump getting more support from ages 45 to 65-plus, while Clinton was more popular with the 18-44 age group, Bruvold said he is doubtful “radical changes” will be made to Social Security or Medicare. He also predicts tax cuts for those with higher personal incomes, a simplified tax code and no major changes in deductions. Because Trump got more support from rural America, Bruvold said federal government discretion spending could favor it over urban areas like San Diego. “This would be detrimental to California since we’re one of the most urban states in the country,” he said. “I do believe (Trump’s) changes overall will help the economy, help California, even as blue as it is,” Dadian said. Dadian said he does not see a need for all the “hubbub” the incoming Trump administration has been getting so far, calling what is happening “very predictable.” Dadian said Americans said they do not like politicians lying to them, and many liked Trump because “he’s a guy who tells (us) what he thinks. Nobody said he is not being himself. Everything he is doing is very predictable.” He also said Trump’s business philosophy since the ‘80s has been to “come out big and negotiate down to get what you really want,” so that is what Trump is also likely to do as president. Dadian added that he has been “impressed” with the communication between Trump and President Barack Obama.

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

John Dadian and Erik Bruvold at the Nov. 30 Insights forum. Regarding Trump’s cabinet picks, Dadian said selecting retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis is positive since “he has been a friend of the San Diego region.” “Trump can be successful and a disaster,” Dadian said. “(Former President) Reagan said he appointed those ‘smarter than (himself),’ and Trump is doing that. But you got to listen to them. (If Trump) doesn’t, that could be a disaster.” He also said San Diego has a good Washington delegation split that is “pretty powerful” and he could see Trump tapping a couple for administrative posts. As for California and San Diego races, Bruvold said at the state level there is “a pretty strong liberal intent and willingness to take on additional taxation and debt.” As proof he pointed to the statewide plastic grocery bag ban and voter approval of revenue bonds through Proposition 53. In addition, the Democrats have a super majority in the state Senate and Assembly, plus the governorship. While at the federal level the Affordable Care Act might be repealed and replaced with a plan Trump has yet to reveal, Bruvold said California will likely enact its own version of the ACA since there has been an expansion of health insurance coverage over the last eight years. “The state legislature will try to put something in place with many provisions of the ACA,” he said. “There is no such thing as a campaign season,” Dadian said, adding many state legislators have opened campaign committees for the 2018, 2020 and 2022 races. “It’s just a constant we are going to see from now on.” He said the Democrat’s super majority hurts the governor most because the legislature can push through items Gov. Jerry Brown vetoes if its members choose. “Politically, (California) is as deep blue as it can get and it is not turning purple in the near future,” Dadian said, referring to Republicans not likely gaining seats. As for local government, Bruvold predicted San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer will be the last Republican to hold the office for the foreseeable future now that city voters approved mandatory November run-off elections even when a candidate receives more than 50 percent support in the June primary. Republicans tend to vote more in June, while Democrats have larger turnouts in November, SEE ELECTIONS, A14

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Around 120 children learned how to build menorahs during an inaugural free workshop on Monday at The Home Depot in Carmel Mountain Ranch. The workshop was sponsored by Chabad of Poway, Poway Hebrew School and The Home Depot. Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein said the workshop was part of the synagogue’s community outreach program led by his son, Rabbi Mendel Goldstein. This event was similar in purpose to one held last April, when Chabad organized an event for Jewish children to make matzah at Albertsons in Rancho Bernardo. Matzah is a thin, crisp unleavened bread that Jews traditionally eat during Passover. This year Hanukkah begins at sundown on Dec. 24. It is the Jewish Festival of Lights, an eight-day commemoration of the rededication of the Temple by the Maccabees after their victory over the Syrians. The religious holiday includes lighting a nine-branched menorah, with one additional candle lit each night, to remind observers of the miracle that occurred more than 2,000 years ago, when a one-day supply of oil miraculously lasted eight days. Goldstein said the candle lights are symbolic for other reasons as well, including “passing the torch from one generation to the next,” he said. “For everyone, light pushes away the darkness.” The free family event included children — with assistance from their parents and The Home Depot employees — assembling and painting menorahs, refreshments and other activities. Goldstein said The Home Depot provides the menorah kits as part of a nationwide-program. Due to the response, Goldstein said next year they will plan on having twice as many menorah kits available.

Powegian is a three-time Junior Charger Girl Participants in the program raise money for charity BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK When it comes to cheering on the San Diego Chargers, a Poway 9-year-old has some special on-the-field experience as a three-time Junior Charger Girl. Aurora Querido, a Midland Elementary fourth grader, was among the 315 girls, ages 7 to 15, participating Sunday in the annual program that has them perform on the field with the San Diego Charger Girls during halftime of a San Diego Chargers game. “It’s really exciting,” Aurora said. “I like raising money for (charity) and cheering with the Charger Girls. ... It’s fun, cheering with them and being on the field (in Qualcomm Stadium).” To participate, this year each girl had to fundraise at least $175. The money goes to Make-a-Wish San Diego and the San Diego Chargers Community Foundation, according to the program’s website. In some years Aurora has raised up to $350. Preparing for their few minutes of dancing in front of tens of thousands takes several hours of work. The girls attend three four-hour training sessions before the game and on Sunday were at the stadium from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the morning, they practiced on the field before the game between the Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers that began at 1:25 p.m.

Junior Charger Girl Aurora Querido with Boltman at Sunday’s game.

Poway resident Aurora Querido, 9, wearing her 2016 uniform, has been a Junior Charger Girl for three years.

The girls sat together in the stands to watch the game before taking to the field to perform their two dance routines. Going to the games is something Aurora does often. Aurora’s father, Lem Querido, has had season tickets since 1997, said her mother, Christina Querido.

“I’ve gone to almost every (home game), except the Raiders, because those are dangerous,” Aurora said. While not a big fan of actually watching football — Aurora said she likes the stadium food better, especially the nachos and cotton candy — she does enjoy seeing

Happy

Holidays! from

the Charger Girls, especially now that she has gotten to know them. “They’re really famous ... and talented people,” she said about the professional cheerleaders. Aurora said that when she is older she would like to become a cheerleader “because when you’re cheering on the field you can get a bunch of people to get inspired,” she said. One could say cheerleading is in her blood, since her mother, a Texas native, was a cheerleader during her teen years. “High school cheerleading is huge in Texas,” Christina said. “This gives her an outlet to kinda go nuts and she has made a lot of friends through the years,” Christina said. “We did not have experiences like this when we were in school, so it is cool that they offer it and hopefully (the team) will stay (in San Diego).” It is not yet known if the Chargers will relocate to Los Angeles next season or remain in San Diego. If they do stay, Christina said she would like her daughter to continue in the program as she has seen her improve each year. In the meantime, Aurora keeps up her dance skills by taking tap and jazz lessons. As for advice to other girls interested in becoming a Junior Charger Girl, Aurora said, “It’s exciting and I recommend they do it. It’s really fun, you get to perform with everybody watching you and you get to play and dance with the Charger Girls.”

Fiery crash closes Highway 67 in Poway (CNS) - One person was seriously injured and two others sustained minor injuries in a multiple-vehicle crash on Monday night that closed a highway in Poway The fiery crash was reported around 5:25 p.m. on state Route 67 at Poway Road, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. A black Ford Mustang driving south on the highway made an illegal U-turn to near the intersection of Iron Mountain Road and was struck by a northbound Ford Fusion, said sheriff's Sgt. Minh Nguyen. A Toyota Highlander heading north struck the Fusion during the initial crash, Nguyen said. The driver of the Mustang was pulled from the vehicle by a passerby when the car caught on fire, Nguyen said.

The Mustang's driver, Allen Brotzman, 49, of Vista, sustained a serious injury and was airlifted to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Nguyen said. On Tuesday, sheriff’s Sgt. Dave Cheever said Brotzman is suspected of being under the influence at the time of the crash. Two of the drivers from the other vehicles were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. There was a minor non-injury collision between two vehicles on the southbound side of the highway near the original collision but was unrelated to the crash, Nguyen said. During the investigation, state Route 67 was closed from Poway Road to Scripps Poway Parkway in both directions. The road reopened at 9:30 p.m. Monday.

Hearings set Jan. 9 on who pays for 2007 wildfires (CNS) - The California Public Utilities Commission on Monday announced that it will take public comment on Jan. 9 on a bid by San Diego Gas & Electric to pass on costs of the 2007 wildfires to customers. SDG&E has requested authority to recover $379 million from the Witch, Guejito and Rice wildfires that were sparked by electrical lines blown down by strong Santa Ana winds. The utility said the levy would amount to $1.67 a month for the typical residential customer. The CPUC will hold two public participation hearings on Jan. 9 in Escondido to allow the public to comment on whether the utility's operation and management of its facilities prior to the wildfires were reasonable. The meetings will begin at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the California Center for the Arts. In a prior decision, the CPUC held that for costs to be found reasonable, the utility must prove that they were “prudently incurred by competent management exercising the best practices of the era, and using well-trained,

well-informed and conscientious employees and contractors who are performing their jobs properly.” Unjust or unreasonable costs must not be recovered in rates from customers, according to the agency. Those unable to attend can submit written comments to: CPUC Public Advisor, 505 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA 94102, or via email to public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov. The communications should refer to proceeding number A.15-09-010. Each comment will be given to the CPUC's commissioners and the administrative law judge assigned to the case. Between them, the October 2007 blazes killed two people, burned nearly 200,000 acres and destroyed more than 1,100 homes. In filings with the agency, SDG&E said it has faced $2.4 billion in costs from the fires, including 2,500 lawsuits seeking damages. The company said it has recovered $1 billion from insurance carriers and another $824 million from Cox Communications and three contractors.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Marty Block didn't have to wait long to get a new job, following the end of his state Senate tenure. Block, 66, on Monday was appointed chairman of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board by Gov. Jerry Brown. The agency is an independent administrative court system for workers and employers seeking to challenge decisions made by the state Employment Development Department. The Democrat from San Diego represented the Senate's 39th District for four years, and was succeeded by former Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins. He declined to run for a second term in order to avoid an intra-party fight. The district includes Rancho Bernardo. He previously served four years in the Assembly, was president of the San Diego Community College District Board of Trustees and served on the faculty and administration of San Diego State University. The position requires Senate confirmation, with compensation of $146,609.

Westview High School topped the district’s high schools for Niche, though all five schools received an A+ grade. It was named the 10th

best public high school in California for 2017, with Del Norte High the 37th best, Mt. Carmel High the 67th best, Rancho Bernardo High the 71st best and Poway High the 73rd best.

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - DECEMBER 8, 2016 - PAGE A11

FROM KERSEY, A1 and more often based on geography, “the older versus newer parts of town” because of their varying needs, mostly tied to infrastructure. Infrastructure is the issue near and dear to Kersey’s heart, as he has been leading the council’s infrastructure committee since its inception four years ago. He said progress has been made now that the city knows the condition of its assets, including roads, streets and buildings. With that information the council formed an infrastructure plan a couple years ago, which Kersey said it will be in the process of revisiting. “It’s hard to really cure a problem when you don’t know its full extent,” he said, calling San Diego’s infrastructure deficiencies “a problem decades in the making. We’ve made substantial progress ... and are driving the citywide dialogue on what has been overlooked for too long.” In the 2011 streets assessment, 34 percent of streets were in “good” condition, 44 percent in “fair” condition and 22 percent deemed “poor.” Per the 2015-16 survey, 60 percent of streets were “good,” 34 percent “fair” and 6 percent “poor.” Kersey said fixing San Diego’s infrastructure will take more than $1 billion — not counting endeavors like the football stadium and possible new City Hall — and said the passage of Proposition H in June, which dedicated a portion of city funds to infrastructure needs, is a sign of “San Diegans speaking up ... to make sure future mayors and councils cannot repeat the mistakes of the past.” While the earmarked money is insufficient to fix everything, he said it prevents city officials from “easily forgetting” to fund infrastructure needs “when times are tough.” Those days may be nearer than many realize. Kersey said the city’s pension board recalculated the pension formula to take into account people living longer. Consequently, on July 1 the city will need to increase its payment by at least $50.2 million for a total of $311.2 million — up from $261.1 million — with at least $227.9 million of the payment coming from the General Fund. Final numbers are not expected until January. “It’s a fairly substantial hit, which unfortunately for my (constituents) there is no real benefit,” Kersey said, adding the city has a reserve fund that could possibly help “absorb” the impact with a contribution of potentially $16 million. “We could tap into that,” he said. But the reality is that there could be cuts, he said. For now Mayor Kevin Faulconer is talking with department heads to see what cuts can be made, but Kersey said things like library and recreation center hours — which were increased over the last couple years after being severely slashed during the Great Recession — might take a hit again. Kersey said when the pension board meets in the spring it might spread out the payments over a longer period to soften the blow, but there are many variables, including if the city sees a big increase in sales, property and hotel tax revenues that go into the General Fund.

“

At some point we will hit another recession so we need to make sure the reserves are in a place that is good. We need to build up the city’s reserves to plan for a real rainy day.

”

Mark Kersey City Councilman

“We’ll see,” he said. “At some point we will hit another recession so we need to make sure the reserves are in a place that is good. We need to build up the city’s reserves to plan for a real rainy day.” As for other issues the council will need to tackle in the near future, he said homelessness is a big one. While not as obvious in his district, in downtown the extent of the problem is evident. He said there are at least 9,000 homeless, with around 40 percent living downtown. “Last year there was a huge increase,” he said. “We’re starting to see tent cities. On 13th and 15th streets the sidewalks are lined. This is not the city we want or that the residents deserve. There is not an easy solution, it really is a regional issue with multi-jurisdictions that the county and federal government need to be a part of.” While some of it relates to the amount of housing available, he said it goes beyond that. “Some can’t afford to live in San Diego,” he said, citing its high cost of living even for those employed. “We need to build more housing, not just for the high end ... or low end subsidized. We need workforce housing that is affordable to regular, working class San Diegans.” Tied into the issue too, he said, is the job market and mental health issues due to substance abuse and veterans with PTSD caused by their wartime service. “We need to successfully house the homeless veterans, there’s 1,000 homeless veterans (locally),” he said. When asked, if he could travel back in time to four years ago, what advise Kersey would give himself based on the lessons he has learned, he said, “There’s not a lot I would do differently. It’s a learning process, like when starting any new job. You need to build relationships and find things you can work collaboratively on. “If anything, be realistic with expectations — what can and can’t be done. You’re only one out of nine, plus the mayor and city attorney. So it’s about working on things with people,” he said. In looking back, Kersey added, “Overall, it’s been a good experience.”

Good-Natured Gardening BY CLARENCE SCHMIDT

Why not a natural Christmas?

hortly after the Thanksgiving meal and the pecan pie have disappeared, the search begins for a healthy Christmas tree with that intoxicating pine scent. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, the best-selling U.S. trees are Scotch pine, Douglas fir, Noble fir, Fraser fir, Virginia pine, Balsam fir and White pine. Douglas fir has a sweet fragrance and good needle retention. The Grand fir, according to some nasal connoisseurs, has the best fragrance of all the Christmas trees. The Nordman fir, the top selling Christmas tree in Europe, is favored for its attractive, sturdy needles that do not drop readily after the tree is cut. The Noble fir, the “Cadillac” of all Christmas trees, stays fresher longer because of its ability to retain water. Most Christmas tree farms in Southern California specialize in Monterey pines (Pinus radiata), which have long, soft needles, a deep green color and a rich pine fragrance. Artificial trees are popular because of their convenience, cost and reusability. However, the average family uses an artificial tree for only six-to-nine years before throwing it away, where it will remain in a landfill for decades.

That’s a hefty, long-term environmental burden. In 1930, the U.S-based Addis Brush Company created the first artificial Christmas tree made from brush bristles. The company used the same machinery that it used to manufacture toilet brushes, but they were dyed green. So, how’s that holiday spirit doing right about now? Environmentally, the best choice is a real Christmas tree. While they're growing, they support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen. Did you know that an acre of Christmas trees provides for the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people? Real Christmas trees are grown on farms just like any other agricultural crop. To ensure a constant supply, tree growers usually plant one to three new seedlings for every tree they harvest. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch. Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states. California, Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina are the top Christmas tree producing states.

Locally Owned and Operated

Over 20 years flooring experience “Value and Service you deserve”.

So which variety is right for you? We all have our visual and nasal preferences. Some prefer a slender tree while others want one which is bulky. Of course, freshness is key. Simply by cutting down your neighbor’s pine tree, you know it will be fresh. It’s also the most economical. The needles should be flexible, not brittle. Grab a branch and pull your hand toward you allowing the branch to slip through your hand. Few, if any, needles should come off. Drop the base end of the tree lightly against the ground to see if any outside needles fall off. Inside needle loss in pine trees is common every fall and often lodge against the branches. The tree should have an attractive green color and a good fragrance. The sense of smell

is very subjective. Ergo, not everyone will flock (sorry) to the White Spruce. You can always find an inexpensive tree at Costco, Home Depot and Walmart. Another option is a local Christmas tree farm. Cutting down your own festive tree can be a memorable family experience. There’s nothing like weaving in and out of a maze of evergreens, getting lost and not being to find your car. And losing a key family member. There’s nothing like the smell of fresh cut greens, cool winter nights and the sweet aroma of drinking a cup of hot chocolate and the sap gluing your hands to the cup. For that u-chop experience, try these locations: SEE SCHMIDT, A14

(CNS) - San Diego police are looking for a man who robbed a gas station in the Carmel Mountain Ranch neighborhood and fled in a distinctive getaway car. The suspect demanded cash from an employee at the Chevron on Rancho Carmel Drive south of Carmel Mountain Road around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, then sped off in a newer red Corvette with an undisclosed

amount, San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros said. Police did not immediately say to whom the car belonged. Police described the robber as thin, roughly 5 feet 11, in his 20s or early 30s, with a buzz cut, wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes and a blue bandana to cover his face.

We all know exactly what’s going to happen when you tie a tree to the roof of your car. I have seen 18 trees fly off and have run over 12 of them, nine of them intentionally. I had “Bah, humbug” moments. When you bring home your cut tree, immediately put it in a water-filled stand. The general rule is that stands should provide 1 quart of water per inch of stem diameter. A recent survey has found that not one person in the whole world adheres to that rule. At least check daily to make sure the base of the tree is actually touching the water. If you have a living tree, think about planting it in your yard. Or leave it potted for next holiday season. Schmitt s a Poway resident with over 40 years of gardening experience.

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

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

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

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

The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.

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

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

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

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

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

The NuEar NowTM is a tiny new device that can be programmed to amplify only missing consonant sounds, stimulating the high-frequency hair cells all while programmed to ignore the rest. The brain of this smart new device is a microprocessor chip that analyses and clariﬁes sound according to its frequency. Using a technology called Live Speech Mapping, the specialist adjusts the high frequency speech sounds like a woman’s voice until they are clearer. The prescription is set as you watch and listen, letting you hear any immediate before and after beneﬁts of this device.

OPINION

GUEST COMMENTARY

Veterans housing represents a small sacrifice BY TOM YARNALL ’m sure those citizens who lined the aisles of the Poway City Council chambers protesting the proposed Twin Peaks Road affordable housing project for veterans sincerely believe that if it went forward their quality of life would be significantly impaired. I do empathize with them, but please allow me to put sacrifice into context as it relates to the subject matter. A real sacrifice occurs when a mother and father support their son’s or daughter’s decision to go to war to protect our liberty and freedom. A real sacrifice occurs when many of them are killed and buried in grave sites throughout the world or are brought home in body bags. A real sacrifice occurs when they leave their arms, legs and other body parts on the battlefield and have to live out their life being handicapped, some having to depend on others to exist. A real sacrifice occurs when they come home after experiencing the ravages of war with those experiences permanently chiseled into their brain to the extent they can’t function normally. Real sacrifices occur when thousands of them commit suicide every year to get relief. I ask, is it truly a significant sacrifice to tolerate a small, 22-unit housing development that honors our veterans? After a discussion with a council member, I understand he had three basic reasons to veto the proposal. First, some funding was lost when CalVet and San Diego Habitat for Humanity could not agree or compromise on the details. CalVet decided not to be a partner and pulled out, leaving Poway with extra cost. The shortfall appears to be $800,000 of which $250,000 has since been pledged to reduce the cost. I ask whether this remaining cost, spread across 50,000 citizens over a number of years, is excessive to honor our veterans and give them a chance to fulfill the American dream of owning a home in a decent community. The second reason concerns the allocation of four homes to handicapped veterans who would have difficulty living in a two-story townhouse. That is a valid point, but I’ll bet there are many handicapped who would jump at the opportunity to have one of these homes. There are ways to accommodate this shortfall. The third reason was a concern that without CalVet there could be no assurance the buyers were veterans. Habitat officials do not agree. With three council members standing firm against the project, it appears the only option available to activate the proposal is to go the referendum route which is expensive, time consuming and unnecessary. However, I would be honored to sit in front of Walmart, gathering signatures until there are enough to put it on the ballot. If you support this project, please call or email Mayor Steve Vaus and Councilmen Dave Grosch and Barry Leonard. They are all approachable and good listeners. Yarnall is a Poway resident and a Navy veteran of the Korean War.

OUR READERS WRITE Ratepayers penalized Ouch. We San Diego Gas & Electric ratepayers have learned of the monopolistic company's plan to once again stick it to us (see “smart meters”). SDG&E is hoping we ratepayers will pay $1.67 monthly for six years to cover the company's costs of the terrible 2007 fires. Unconscionable and unfair. The costs were indeed tremendous, but shouldn't they more properly be borne by the company's owners, i.e. the stockholders, including the board of directors? It's as if the owner of rental property expected payment by the renter for expenses incurred, such as a new water heater or a new roof. Lowered dividends and reduced salaries are the proper sources for the fires' cost. Jane Meiners Rancho Bernardo

Loud few prevail Regarding the controversies involving the condition of the Rancho Bernardo Dog Park, and the veterans housing project and community center in Poway, these all seem to stem from the “I, me-first” syndrome. The dog park supporters want grass for their pooches to poop. These same people bring their dogs to other neighborhoods for their dogs to foul. To complain that where young people play sports has more green grass than where their dogs poop is beyond comprehension. People who complained about veterans housing are afraid of losing value on their overpriced, homes not about building a permanent home for veterans and their families. The complaints about the YMCA are also ill founded. They have done a fantastic job with young people, they offer services, counseling and a clean, carefully-planned environment as a center to go to for sports and recreation. We live in a society where the loud few empower

themselves over the needs of the many. Shirley Cooper Rancho Bernardo

Kudos to council majority I’m tired of some elements and their jingoistic vitriol as they try to throw certain members of the Poway City Council under the bus over this so-called “veterans” housing project. This whole shebang started out as “veterans only” but when not even the San Diego Habitat for Humanity’s legal team could say those words, it morphed into veterans “preferred” or maybe “hoped for” is more like it. But in truth, when you read the 100-plus page contract, it only speaks of a candidate’s income and does not even use the word “veteran,” when discussing who actually was eligible to purchase the units. Just using “veterans” as a shill for some ambiguous agenda of the supposed champions of our veterans. Veterans surely deserve more than this shameful treatment. It seems like the plan was simply to wrap this project up in a flag and drop it at Poway’s doorstep. The long history of this project, whatever it is really supposed to be, and the characters involved in the backroom deal-making, would make a sordid tale spanning far longer than the space I have here. Sad. Given this backdrop, it’s little wonder that the well-established veterans group originally tied to this project, a group that is dedicated to building veterans’ wealth through home ownership, was dumped early on when it was clear they wouldn’t play ball. Politics and/or personality ruled that day, their true motives hidden and unknown. Kudos to the council members that raised the bar back to where it belongs. Peter De Hoff Poway

Common Sense BY BARRY CRONIN

Making the best of a bad situation

irst things first. I called it wrong last month when I predicted Hillary Clinton would be our next president. Understandable. Like millions of other Americans with trusting hearts, I simply assumed the inevitability of another Clinton presidency based on everything the polls, pundits and media had been pounding into our heads. We would have another President Clinton, abetted in grand fashion by a complicit Fourth Estate and its less-than-noble experiment in operant conditioning upon a nation of lab rats who vote. But guess what? The rats disobeyed! Now we know how Winston Smith must have felt, trapped inside the Ministry of Love discovering how “two plus two equals five.” I say shame on

them all for trying to create news rather than report it. The mainstream media needs to be reminded that integrity is like virginity. Once you lose it, you never get it back. They used to say time heals all wounds. Not necessarily. Consider our current situation. Even though it has been a month since the presidential election, the visceral resistance to Donald Trump remains pervasive and heartfelt. I see no reason to believe that anger will dissipate anytime soon. On the contrary, we may actually be witnessing the birthing of a nationwide mobilization unlike anything seen since the anti-war movement and those never-to-be-forgotten “Days of Rage” from the 1960’s. Wouldn’t that be fun? It is easy to understand why people hate

SoCal Focus BY THOMAS ELIAS

Trump’s victory could be Pyrrhic

he last time the Republican Party had a win like the surprise pulled off by President-elect Donald Trump, it came in California and it quickly turned the nation’s largest state from a consistent tossup political battleground to a solid Democratic bastion. That “victory” came when then-Gov. Pete Wilson won reelection – on Nov. 8, also the date of Trump’s triumph – by a large margin in 1994 on the strength of a campaign directed largely against Latino illegal immigrants. Its benchmark was a television commercial showing dozens of the undocumented running across the Mexican border at San Ysidro unimpeded by Border Patrol officers. “They keep coming…,” a basso voice intoned. Wilson strongly supported the anti-illegal immigrant Proposition 187, which shared the ballot with him that year. The measure aimed to throw children of the undocumented out of public schools and health clinics, deprive illegals of all government-paid health care and make life so unpleasant

they would return to their homelands. Trump’s campaign over the last 20 months wasn’t a carbon copy of Wilson’s. But both defeated women from prominent political families – Trump whipping former First Lady Hillary Clinton and Wilson beating former state Treasurer Kathleen Brown, the daughter of one governor and sister of another. Both aroused strong fear among Latinos legally in America who hadn’t yet bothered to become U.S. citizens. After the 1994 vote, these green-card holders lined up by the thousands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Sacramento, Fresno and San Francisco to obtain citizenship applications. Many feared that with their illegal-immigrant compatriots under threat of deportation, they could be next. Citizenship, they concluded, would be their best protection. They were motivated by the racial slurs and hateful incidents many of encountered everywhere from bus stops and gasoline stations to coffee shops and ballparks.

Within 30 months, more than 2.5 million had become citizens in California, the vast majority registering as Democratic voters. Muscleman actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is the only Republican to win a major state office in California since. Republican presidential candidates haven’t bothered campaigning here in years; they just stop by to raise money, but most don’t even venture out in public. Trump also did that once the state’s primary election was over in June. The national implications are clear: All over America, Latinos this fall began experiencing more racist incidents and many came to feel much as their California counterparts did 22 years ago. They started applying for citizenship in significant numbers in states like Texas, Florida, Georgia and Illinois.

Clinton was competitive in Georgia, too, losing there by less than 5

Trump. For one thing, he wants to build a wall on our southern border. Only a racist would even propose such a thing, we’re told. Never mind the fact we already have hundreds of miles of walls, fences and barricades on the border and the areas in between are covered with sensors and observation posts. Trump has also vowed to restrict Muslim immigration into the United States. Perhaps he simply recognizes some of the difficulties Europe is currently experiencing with all that massive immigration they have since come to regret. But I guess that makes him a xenophobe, anyway. Trump was also caught on tape crudely boasting about the disrespectful way he has treated women over the years. It was awful enough to make any right-thinking person cringe in disgust. Interestingly, many hip hop artists and other contemporary performers make millions of dollars off that very same degradation of women. They win Grammys and Trump is the misogynist. Makes perfect sense. We keep being told that Trump lacks the experience to govern. He is, after all, a mere businessman. Granted, one personally responsible for creating many thousands of jobs and billions in revenue. Yet in all those years making money and building livelihoods for American families, he has never once taken the percent. Illinois, meanwhile, has become almost as reliably Democratic as California. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. In Texas, almost 2 million legal Hispanic immigrants have never applied for citizenship. In Georgia, it’s more than 450,000; in South Carolina, it’s about 300,000. If the majority of them become citizens and then begin to vote Democratic, as they did here, the political map of America will change radically. The potential for change is enormous, but only one major Republican (South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham) has openly admitted it. He warned last year that with Trump, the GOP could become as irrelevant nationally as it has been for a generation in California. But Trump and his backers paid no heed. They banked on winning with angry Anglo voters, just like Wilson. Trump did win this year, at least in the Electoral College, but now could usher the Republican Party into a disastrous era. This might take four years to take its full effect because the naturalization process takes time. But the odds are high that Trump’s win will have a similar effect nationally to Wilson’s big 1994 victory in California, with the strong possibility that the GOP will eventually come to look on him as its most self-destructive figure in generations.

time to serve as a “community organizer.” The very idea! And then there are those pesky tax returns that have yet to be released. What is Trump hiding? Out with it! Hopefully, Trump will produce those records when Hillary and our current commander-in-chief finally release everything they have been asked for. Right! When donkeys fly! And finally, there are all those juicy and titillating innuendoes of Trump’s past infidelities and sexual peccadillos. Keep in mind, he hasn’t yet taken the oath of office. Unlike Presidents Kennedy and Clinton, beloved Democratic superstars, Trump’s indiscretions are pre-inaugural. On this subject, it is probably better to just avoid any “moral equivalency” rebuttals altogether. Make no mistake. I am no disciple of Donald Trump. He was every bit as flawed a candidate as Hillary Clinton. But he is our president-elect. Trump recently announced the appointment of the Strategic and Policy Forum, an advisory body of private sector CEOs and Wall Street executives. He intends to tap their vast expertise in creating more new jobs for America. Excellent start. He obviously appreciates the old adage “If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room!” Cronin is a Poway resident and is the safety officer at MCAS Miramar.

Napierala, Nasseri honored for their volunteerism Awards presented by the North County Philanthropy Council BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Two longtime local volunteers and business members have been named “Volunteers of the Year” by the North County Philanthropy Council. Shirley Napierala was nominated by the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation and Fred Nasseri by the Palomar Health Foundation for the 2016 honor. They were among 76 volunteers nominated by 70 organizations recognized last month at the council’s 29th annual volunteer awards luncheon at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. According to the council, “All are being recognized for giving their time, talent and treasure to help others and to help improved the quality of life in our communities. Each year, member organizations of The North County Philanthropy Council select an outstanding volunteer to receive this prestigious award and be honored in the company of their friends, family and colleagues.” Napierala has lived in Rancho Bernardo for 33 years and is a broker sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Rancho Bernardo. She joined the RB Community Foundation five years ago, serving as its secretary all this time and serving on its

grants committee the last few years. “(The award) was quite an honor; I was not expecting it,” she said. “Almost everyone on the foundation board could have been chosen. It was an unexpected honor and I’m very grateful for it.” Napierala, who is also a Rancho Bernardo Rotarian, said joining the foundation was an additional way for her to give back to her community since the foundation supports numerous RB organizations and projects. “I think anyone who lives within a community needs to give back,” she said, adding the Rotary club and RB foundation are “two mainstream organizations in the community that are vital in keeping Rancho Bernardo up and running for the future.” Nasseri and his family has

owned Unicorn Jewelry & Watch Boutique in Rancho Bernardo for 36 years. He has lived in Poway for the past 26 years and joined the Palomar Health Foundation board four years ago. “I’m very humbled (about receiving the award) because I didn’t do (my volunteerism) for the glory,” Nasseri said. “I did it because this community has given me so much.” Nasseri said prior to joining the health foundation board he was already involved with it by being a donor and helping with fundraisers. “It’s a very sharp board,” he said, referring to his invitation to join its ranks as “lucky.” He added, “I realize the value of being involved affects everybody in this community and their lives. By contributing (my efforts) I’m making things better for everybody.”

Del Norte High enters wide open Palomar League BY MICHAEL BOWER The Palomar League is up for grabs and Del Norte, Rancho Bernardo and Poway High all seem to have the talent to come away with a title. Here is a closer look at each local team:

LOADED LINEUPS Broncos, Titans open season among best in state BY MICHAEL BOWER Two of the top high school wrestling programs in the state are right here. Poway is ranked as high as No. 6 in California and Rancho Bernardo as high as No. 10, its highest ranking in school history. Those types of rankings tend to be given out to rosters full of state-ranked wrestlers. RB and Poway certainly have that. The Broncos have two ranked No. 1 in the state by Cal Grappler, sophomore transfer Jaden Abas (126 pounds) and senior Chasen Blair (195). The Titans boast three in the top two in the state. Quentin Hovis, a transfer from Arizona, where he was a three-time state champion, is No. 1 at 152 pounds. Senior Hampton Boyd (170) and junior Chase Zollman (120) are ranked No. 2 in their respective weight classes. The loaded lineups of Poway and Rancho Bernardo make them No. 1 and No. 2 in the county. The date to mark on the calendar is Jan. 4. Rancho Bernardo will travel to Poway for a 7 p.m. dual match. Del Norte will be in its first year in the Palomar League with Poway and Rancho Bernardo. The Nighthawks are looking forward to the opportunity. “We have a philosophy here that we

don’t run from competition, we jump right into it,” Nighthawks coach Anthony Alvarez said. “We are looking forward to giving those guys the best run we possibly can.” Here is a breakdown of each local team:

state tournament,” Alvarez said. “We have a great core group and they are fired up after finishing the highest we ever have (fourth in Division III).” ****

Del Norte

■ Coach: Joe Eddie Terribilini ■ 2015-16: Division II Dual runner-ups, five-state qualifiers ■ Key grapplers: 145, Chaz Franchina, Sr.; 152, Erik Salcido, Sr.; 195, Chasen Blair, Sr.; 126, Jaden Abas, So.; 106, Gavin Concepcion, Fr.; 115, Jake Grigg, Jr.; 120, Jaden Le, Fr.; 132, Tyler Badgett, Fr.; 160/170, Colin Murphy, Jr.; 160/170, Godfrey Lozada, Jr.; 220, Ryan Loida, Jr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos have their best roster ever under 14th-year coach Terribilini. Two grapplers are ranked No. 1 in the state (Blair, Abas) and a total of four are ranked in the top 12. Rancho Bernardo is ranked as high as No. 10 in the state as a team. “We should have a great year,” Terribilini said. “But I learned to not get really optimistic and to just focus on the journey. There are things you cannot control like injuries, and you’re dealing with 14 to 18-year-olds and you are never sure what goes on in their SEE WRESTLING, B5

Guebara, Sr.; 160, Noah Ashton, Sr.; 170, Jacob Mendoza, Jr.; 195, Sawyer Sullaway, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks, who have struggled with filling out a lineup in the past, saw a respectable 30 athletes come out for the team. The numbers boost was certainly needed considering Del Norte is now competing in the Palomar League with heavy weights Poway and Rancho Bernardo. The Nighthawks had one wrestler reach state last season. Coach Alvarez is hoping to take five to the meet in Bakersfield this year. Guebara, Mendoza, Martinez, Sullaway and Sawyer all have a chance to accomplish the feat. “We are looking to qualify five to the

Del Norte will need to find a way to replace 12 graduated players from that squad, including Dori Moul, who led the team with 18 goals. Donovan could be the answer, as she found the back of the net nine times as a freshman last year. Incoming freshman Schmiracher can also have an immediate impact up top for the Nighthawks. “Donovan is fast, quick and aggressive,” Rossi said. “She is going to do better than she did last year. She is going to be one of the stars.” The back line, which lost anchor Dani Baldwin to graduation, will be led by Rafael and Delao. “We have a completely new back line and that is going to be a test for us,” Rossi said. “We are going to have to truly work together as a team and a cohesive unit.” SEE GIRLS SOCCER, B5

New-look Palomar League just as tough as before BY MICHAEL BOWER The Palomar League will take on a new look with the exit of Torrey Pines High and Canyon Crest Academy. Del Norte and Mission Vista will replace those two and nobody believes that will make the league any easier. “Del Norte is going to be really good,” Rancho Bernardo coach Kurt Trecker said. “They have everybody back from last year and they have some really good young players. It is going to be a tough again this year.” The Nighthawks are eyeing a Division III title after losing in the semifinals last season. Both Poway and Rancho Bernardo lost their top two goal scorers from a season ago, but the two programs are strong defensively and are hoping to find an offensive groove as the season moves along. Here is a closer look at each local team:

Brambila had a team-leading 18 goals, while Schumacher registered 17.

Ramirez, who had four goals last year, will try to fill the void, but a newcomer will likely need to step up to help Poway consistently find the back of the net. “There is probably going to be a lot of pressure on Eduardo and our goal keeper,” Morris said. “Our defense will be really strong. We are probably going to have a lot of 0-0 or 1-1 ties. If we get into a 6-4 type game, we are going to be in trouble.” Meza did not play last season, but the junior will start in the net.

Michael Moraz, Sr.; MF, Tyler Carpenter, Sr.; D, Cody Goking, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos lost their top two goal scorers from a season ago to graduation. Jacob Lindberg and Shane Modlin (26) combined to score 38 of the team’s 59 goals last year. This year it will be more of a score-by-committee approach. “That was one of the things I questioned coming into this season,” Trecker said. “Who will be the guy? Where are we going to get those goals that Shane had last year? I expect it to be a committee and that is OK with me.” The Broncos, who dropped to Division II, will be strong defensively and in the net with keepers Dean and Carter. Goking will lead the defensive line. Sayim and Moraz figure to be the two leading goal scorers. Rancho Bernardo should challenge for a spot in the top half of the standings in the Palomar League. “The Palomar League is always tough, physical soccer,” Trecker said. “It is just a bunch of teams beating up on each other for five weeks before the playoffs. You just have to hope to stay healthy, get wins and be ready for the playoffs.”

Broncos' Pierick brings more than talent to the court improved. Then, over summer, I was asked to make the switch to point guard. That was another surprise. But I really love being able to dish the ball to other people. It is such a great feeling to get them the ball and watch them score.” Pierick, who said her dad always tried to get her to play point guard as a youngster, is glad she finally found her way to the position. “I love it,” she said. “It is my favorite position now. I love to score, but getting my other players the ball and seeing them do well just makes me feel like I have a bigger role on the team.” Pierick’s aggressiveness on defense has overwhelmed opponents and her smart decision making ability with the ball has kept the Broncos out of trouble against full-court presses, traps and zones. “We put her on the other team’s best offensive guard, and it’s great because I don’t have to worry about that player putting up big numbers,” Williamson said. “Offensively, she knows how to handle presses. JoJo is just a very smart basketball player with a very high IQ.” For the first time in several years, Rancho Bernardo is among the top teams in the Palomar League and should challenge for a championship. “We definitely think we have a shot for the league title, especially with Torrey Pines leaving the league,” Pierick said. “But we have proven we can beat them. The biggest competition is going to be Westview and Poway. Those are going to be two huge games for us.”

It’s the things the senior point guard does that doesn’t show up in the box score that counts the most for the Broncos. “She is one of our captains and is a leader,” Rancho Bernardo coach Kyle Williamson said. “She brings all the intangibles. She brings a lot of intensity on defense and is just one of those players that brings everything she has to every game and leaves it all on the court.” The 5-foot, 6-inch Pierick played relentless defense and managed a phenomenal game from the point guard position against Torrey Pines last week, helping the Broncos claim their first victory over the Falcons since 2011. The 54-46 win on Nov. 30 snapped a 10-game losing streak Rancho Bernardo had against Torrey Pines. It also delivered a whole lot of confidence to Pierick and her teammates. “It has been almost six years since we beat Torrey Pines,” she said. “This is a really great start to the season and it has been what we have been working for this whole summer and fall. I think this has really sparked our intensity and confidence.” Pierick has been a do-whatever-it-takes teammate from the beginning. When she was asked to move to the forward position two years ago she did not hesitate. Last year, she was moved from forward to shooting guard. This season, Williamson needed her to play more point guard. “It has been crazy,” Pierick said. “It all started when our former coach (Kai Harris) asked me to (be a forward) two years ago. That one surprised me because I was small for a guard. But I learned how to be more aggressive and intense and it helped me to become an all-around player. “Then, last year, I moved to (guard) and that was a struggle. I had to learn how to drive to the hoop, but I think I really

But we are starting ahead of most teams with (the roster) we have.” Abas, a transfer from Frontier High in Bakersfield, is the nephew of former Olympian and three-time NCAA champion Stephen Abas. Jaden finished second in the state at 120 pounds last season. Blair, who is the most decorated wrestler in the history of RB, is ranked No. 1 in the state at 195 pounds. He signed with the University of North Carolina. The Broncos also got a boost with a stellar freshman class. Rancho Bernardo, which will bring a handful of grapplers to the prestigious Walsh Ironman tournament in Ohio on Friday and Saturday, is hoping to make things a little more interesting with perennial power Poway this season. “I guess the goal is to turn Poway-RB into what Clovis and Buchanan have,” said Terribilini, referring to the two state powerhouses who both compete in the Tri-River Athletic Conference. ****

Poway ■ Coach: Wayne Branstetter ■ 2015-16: Third at state, Masters champions, Division II Dual champions

FROM GIRLS SOCCER, B1 Del Norte, which reached the Division I final last season, has succeeded in every league it has been in since the school opened in 2009. It is now hoping to continue that success in the Palomar League. “We are going to always be competitive,” Rossi said. “I have seen our JV teams play (the other schools in the league) and they have had success. Now those key girls are on varsity with us, so we will see.” ****

Maranatha Christian ■ Coach: J. D. Tena ■ Division: IV ■ 2015-16: 11-6-1, 7-1; Ocean League champions; eliminated in first round of Division IV playoffs ■ Key players: F, Sarah Trent, Jr.; MF, Jessica Hewett, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Eagles won the Ocean League title before falling in the first round of the Division IV playoffs last season. Trent, who scored a whopping 37 goals last season, is back and will look to top that number. She scored twice in the season opener for Maranatha. The Eagles should challenge for another Ocean League championship and will look to make a deeper run in the Division IV playoffs. ****

Poway ■ Coach: Aaron Jaffe ■ Division: I ■ 2015-16: 11-9-4, 4-5-1; eliminated in semifinal of Division I playoffs ■ Key players: F, Janelle Bernal, Sr.; MF, Lauren Hess, Sr.; D, Sarah Aragon, Jr.; MF, Camdyn O’Donnell, So. ■ Outlook: The Titans were a one away from reaching the Division I title game in their first

■ Key grapplers: 106, Jacob Allen, Sr.; 120, Chase Zollmann, Jr.; 138, Scotty Kiyono, Sr.; 152, Quentin Hovas, Sr.; 170, Hampton Boyd, Sr.; 182, Nathan Tausch, Sr.; 195, Celso Silva, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Titans are loaded, but winning a fifth state championship is going to be a tall task with Buchanan and Clovis still on the perch. Buchanan is ranked No. 2 in the nation. Poway returns four state placers (Allen, Zollmann, Kiyono and Boyd) and has seven grapplers ranked in the top 15 entering the season. Quentin Hovas, who transferred from Arizona, is expected to challenge for a state title as is Zollman and Boyd. “It is a tall order to win a state title in this state,” Branstetter said. “I think a couple of them have a good chance. They will be knocking on the door.” Hovas was a three-time state champion in Arizona, Zollman is a two-time state medalist, Kiyono, who recently signed with the University of Virginia, is a three-time state qualifier and Boyd is a two-time Masters medalist. The Titans will send 11 grapplers to Ohio to compete in arguably the toughest tournament in the country, the Walsh Ironman, Friday and Saturday. “I would be tickled if we finished in the top 10,” Branstetter siad. “This is our second time going. The last time was in 08-09, but we only took three kids then.” year under coach Jaffe. This year the program expects to take a step forward. “We are growing up, a year older now,” Jaffe said. “They are a little bigger and faster and stronger. They are used to what I ask and expect from them.” Forward Bernal is expected to be the leading goal scorer, while Air Force-bound Aragon will anchor the defense. Hess, a team captain, will provide stability in the midfield. She will play at Georgetown next year. Poway should challenge for a Palomar League championship along with Del Norte and Rancho Bernardo. The Titans also feature an array of talented freshman on the roster. “We are looking forward to beating our performance from last year,” Jaffe said. “I think we are a bit more dynamic this year and that should help us turn some of those ties we had last year into wins.” ****

Rancho Bernardo ■ Coach: Mark Sidebottom ■ Division: I ■ 2015-16: 14-8-3, 6-3-1; lost in PKs in Division I final; lost in opening round of SoCal Regional playoffs ■ Key players: F, Madison Samilo, Sr.; MF, McKenzie Simpson, Jr.; D, Gabriela Maas, Jr.; GK, MacKenzie Osther, Sr.; MF, Jessica Tesar, So.; F, Nicole Tesar, So.; D/MF, Sydney Presnell, So. ■ Outlook: The Broncos were agonizingly close to winning a Division I championship last season, falling in PKs to Torrey Pines after playing to a 1-1 tie. Rancho Bernardo lost its No. 2 and No. 3 goal scorers from that squad to graduation, but has plenty of firepower to make another run at the title. Samilo, who led the team with 10 goals last year, returns as does Simpson and Maas who combined for seven goals last season. Rancho Bernardo figures to challenge Poway and Del Norte for the Palomar League championship.

The Southern California Ballet is also following tradition by bringing in international guest artists to perform the roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. This year, the roles will be danced by Dominique LaRose of the Northern Ballet and Jeremy Rucker,

formerly of the San Francisco Ballet. Executive Director Kate Hirsh said that bringing in guest dancers is part of the training for the young dancers of the Southern California Ballet’s company. "The students are often overwhelmed by their presence in the studio," she said. "But it’s an important step for those barriers to break down so the

young company girls can see the next step for their careers." LaRose joined the Northern Ballet in 2014 and has performed numerous featured roles including Big Swans in "Swan Lake," Kate in "Madame Butterfly" and Beauty in "Beauty and the Beast." Rucker was with the San Francisco Ballet for seven years and has also performed with the San Francisco Opera and

Gregory Dawson’s DawsonDanceSF. Martha Leebolt, a Southern California Ballet alumni and current dancer for the Northern Ballet, along with her dance partner Tobias Batley, are directing the production and have also undertaken a partial revival of the classic show, said Hirsh. Leebolt performed the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy as a guest artist the last two years. Hirsh said Leebolt and Batley have restructured parts of the second act as well as adding new choreography. "It refreshes the show," she said, "and it is important for young dancers to learn something new." The production will also have some new costumes and set pieces. "We found some creative ways to refresh the production," she said. The ballet also recently received a grant of $5,000 from the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation, which Hirsh said will be used to bring dance programs to the community. "We’ve been wanting to get out into the community in a bigger fashion but that was impossible without the resources," SEE BALLET, B7

RB Recreation Center Director Eric McDonald said more than 1,500 people attended. Around 200 toys and games were also donated by attendees for the Polinsky Children’s Center.

San Diego Unified School District Connected to Fast, Reliable Network Ninety two San Diego Unified School District schools now have access to a 175-gigabit network as part of an agreement with Cox Business. As part of the agreement, Cox Business built out 54 miles of fiber in San Diego. A total of 189 schools in the district are now connected to a fast, reliable Ethernet network through Cox Business that will enable all types of digital learning, not only inside the classroom, but also distance learning between schools and organizations outside of the district. “San Diego Unified students already have access to some of the best technology in education today, but as anyone who has ever left their cell phone service area knows, the best technology is only as good as the Internet service that

connects you to the world,” said Cindy Marten, superintendent of San Diego Unified School District. “Thanks to this partnership with Cox Business, our students will have access to enterprise class WiFi service, allowing them to collaborate with their teachers and peers in amazing new ways.” The network that Cox Business has built for the district is the largest fiber project the company has undertaken for a single customer in San Diego to date. “The network that we’ve designed for the school district is unique in its construction, the large number of sites being connected, and the high bandwidth capacity that is being delivered,” said Larry Coval, Vice President of Cox Business in

San Diego. “We’ve built a network that has the bandwidth to serve the district’s needs for its teachers and students now and in the future.” Serving more than 130,000 students, from pre-school through grade 12, San Diego Unified School District is the second largest district in California, with a diverse student population representing more than 15 ethnic groups and more than 60 languages and dialects. Cox Business is the commercial division of Cox Communications that serves business customers of all sizes, school districts, medical facilities, hotels, local government and the military.

PET OF THE WEEK

IVY, a 5-year-old American Staf-

fordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a new best friend.This darling girl was brought in by her previous owner and has been melting the hearts of our staff and volunteers ever since. Aside from her undeniable beauty, Ivy is the type of companion who will do anything to make her humans happy. She’s a peoplepleaser who is a little on the shy side but always friendly. Ivy loves to play fetch and is a dependable retriever. She’ll even politely sit and smile for you to throw the ball again. She doesn’t always enjoy having other dogs in her space, and would much rather be surrounded by her humans instead. Meet Ivy at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway or by calling 760-888-2275.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bid-

www.pomeradonews.com BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale: If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (858) 565-4466 or visit this Internet Web site www.scmssd.com using the file number assigned to this case 16-2828 Nagy. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 11/10/16 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MORTGAGE SERVICE 11839 Sorrento Valley Road Suite 903 SAN DIEGO, CA 92121 (858) 565-4466 Paul Rios, Vice President (858) 565-4466 Phone (858) 565-2137 Fax 1stsecuritymortgage@gmail.com A-4599161 11/24/2016, 12/01/2016, 12/08/2016.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-30366. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: 11/28/2016. LAW OFFICES OF LES ZIEVE, as Trustee, 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450, Irvine, CA 92606.

Top apprentices compete for honors in Poway 16th annual ABC San Diego Craft Championship Competition San Diego’s top apprentices in three craft professions won first place honors in their individual crafts at the 16th annual Associated Builders and Contractors San Diego Craft Championship Competition, held Saturday at the Training Trust Academy in Poway. Winners in three categories - electrical, plumbing and sheet metal - will represent San Diego in the 2017 ABC National Craft Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in March. All three winners are East County residents. Scott Vorarach of Spring Valley won in the Sheet Metal category for 2016. Vorarach placed second last year, and is the second straight winner from Certified Air Conditioning in San Diego. Daniel Fortini of Ramona placed second. He works for Alpha Mechanical. The 2016 Plumbing champion is Rolf Wachter of Jamul, with Interpipe Contracting. Wachter finished third last year. Second place went to Tuan Mai of Poway, working for Alpha Mechanical. In the Electrical competition, Eli Anderson of La Mesa won. He works for Bergelectric. Samuel Martin of El Cajon placed second, and Sheridan Farris of Oceanside placed third. Martin and Farris both work for Rowan Electric. The Craft Championship competition provides a platform showcasing the high quality ABC San Diego Training Academy program. It puts an emphasis on the important role craft skills training plays in construction by evaluating contestants’ technical knowledge of their craft as well as their skill and talent. Training Academy Executive Director Shandon Harbour said, “It takes courage and commitment to step up and compete in this event. Participating apprentices put in extra study and practice time outside of their full-time jobs and classes for the competition. On the day of the

This demonstrates their dedication to their training and their craft.” Signing on to participate in the competition is a significant commitment for the apprentices and trainees involved. Contestants must first successfully complete hundreds of hours of classroom training and thousands of hours of practical field experience to be eligible to compete. If competitors score high enough on a written exam during the first stage of competition, they move to the skills portion of the competition to determine the San Diego area champions. Project scores and written test scores are combined to determine the winner. The competitors must race against the clock to complete a project as close to the specifications provided as possible. They may only use materials they are provided. Judges who are experts in each craft field including previous national competition medal winners score each project.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Tell me a story

DID YOU KNOW...? Do you know the names of the three wise monkeys? They are: Mizaru (See no evil), Mikazaru (Kikazaru – Hear no evil), and Mazaru (Iwazaru – Speak no evil).

arly in October 2007, Mike Miller resigned from the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club. President of RB Financial, Miller said he was “tired of being nickel and dimed,” with fines for his birthday, wedding anniversary, etc. Club members wished him well and assumed he’d never attend another meeting. Two weeks later the Witch Creek Fire swept through town. Mike and Teresa Miller escaped from their burning house with 10 minutes notice. Word went around the Rotary club like, well, like wildfire. And the following Saturday 40 Rotarians and spouses appeared at the Miller property to search for any surviving valuables. Lunchtime brought one of our members carrying a dozen pizzas, salad and sodas. Mike watched in amazement as a table and

checkered tablecloth were set before him. “Why are you all here?” he asked. “You were in trouble, Mike. We came because you were in trouble,” was the answer. “But I resigned from this organization two weeks ago,” he protested. The response; “Yeah, we didn’t accept your resignation.” Not another word was said on the subject and we spent several more hours helping before going on our way. Nobody was terribly surprised when Mike returned to Rotary’s 7 a.m. meeting the following Tuesday. Crying, he announced “You will never get rid of me. I’m in this organization for life!” I recount this story whenever someone asks me what Rotary’s about. It explains our philosophy of “Service Above Self” far better SEE MARKETING, B19

FROM MARKETING, B18 than discussing the 1.25 million members in 34,000 clubs throughout 200 countries. Consider this whenever you’re explaining your own organization. Remember that anyone can quote facts and figures about real estate, but only you can tell the tearjerker about the couple you helped move cross-country to be with their only grandchild. Stories about larger goals and customer successes you aided are an important differentiator in today’s business world. They

show your depth, character, and humanity. Such an approach multiplies reasons for someone to buy from you. You’re obviously not just about trying to make that extra dollar. As we careen into a new year and a new reality, remember how much competition you’ve got for every customer. Now, more than ever, it’s critical to develop strategies for connecting with your clientele. Mike Miller has shown us the way. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.
