School board splits over picking president BY EMILY SORENSEN Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff on Tuesday night was reelected president of the Poway Unified School District Board of Education for a second consecutive year, but it didn’t come easily. This is the first time in at least a decade that a board member has served as president for two consecutive years. Tuesday’s monthly board

meeting also saw the board members saying goodbye to Andy Patapow, who retired after 20 years on the board and welcoming newly-elected board member Darshana Patel. Tensions rose during the election of board officers with the reelection of O’Connor-Ratcliff as president and T.J. Zane as vice-president. Patel was elected as board clerk.

All three votes were 3-2, with O’Connor-Ratcliff, Zane and Patel on one side and board members Kimberley Beatty and Charles Sellers on the other. Student board representative Ella Smith cast her preferential, non-binding vote for O’Connor-Ratcliff and Zane, but abstained during the clerk vote. Prior to being changed to an election process last year, the board members had previously filled the

board officer positions on a rotational basis. Beatty suggested returning to this method, saying that it would eliminate board disharmony and that abandoning this “historical tradition” last year had led to the most divisive board ever. Returning to rotating positions would, Beatty said, set a positive tone for the board to follow and encourage consensus. SEE PUSD, A11

Pomerado Hospital gets new name BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The 39-year-old Pomerado Hospital in Poway has been renamed Palomar Medical Center Poway, Palomar Health officials announced on Tuesday.

Andy Patapow is retiring from the Poway Unified School District after 20 years on the school board.

BY EMILY SORENSEN Twenty-year board Poway Unified School District board veteran Andy Patapow retired this week, but not before expressing some frustrations. He said his last two years on the board were frustrating, he defended fired Supt. John Collins and said he would vote again for the controversial Capital Appreciation Bonds. Patapow, 81, was elected to the board in 1996. He announced his retirement last spring. His successor, Darshana Patel, replaced him at Tuesday’s regular board meeting.

Patapow said on Monday that during his last few years on the board he has seen his fellow board members move away from focusing on the students. “I haven’t heard this group say the word ‘kids’ in the last two years,” said Patapow. “The board’s purpose is to serve the kids in the community, not politics, policies and procedures.” He said he also didn’t like how board members have been handling complaints from the community. “Complaints from people have to be handled a certain way,” said Patapow.

Former Poway High football, track star found dead BY MICHAEL BOWER The body of Evan Gray, a 2012 Poway High graduate and former standout athlete at the school, was found near Balboa Park on Dec. 6. Police officers were called to First Avenue and Nutmeg Street at 5:16 p.m.and found Gray’s body at the bottom of a canyon underneath a bridge, just south of First Avenue and West Palm Street. Friday afternoon Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Othon Mena said, “the manner of death has not yet been determined. A final determination will be made once all available information is evaluated, including toxicology results and further investigation into what the circumstances may have been. Therefore, an accidental matter of death is also being considered.” Gray, 22, played football and ran track at Poway High. In 2012, he became the first athlete from Poway to compete in four events (100-meter, 200, 4x100-relay and 4x400-relay) at the CIF State Track and Field Championships and the first to reach the finals in the 100. Gray would finish the 100 in ninth place and the 4x400-relay team set a school record in the preliminary round at the state meet by finishing in 3 minutes, 19.02 seconds. Gray graduated holding the school record in both the 100 and 200. His football career at Poway looked to be derailed after the running back broke three bones in his back during the summer before his senior season. He then fractured his kneecap during the fall of the same year. But Gray worked his way back in time to help contribute to the team’s 2012 CIF San Diego Section Division I championship run. “Evan was one of our offensive leaders,” said Brian Guendling, a former football teammate. “He brought a lot of energy to our team. He was like a giant energy ball. A positive kid to be around and he always had a smile on his face. If you were having a bad day and ran into Evan Gray everything changed. He was a terrific athlete that everybody on the team loved and every

Everybody is still in shock.” Guendling said Gray, who ran track and played football for one year at Humboldt State, recently told him that he was training to run the 100 in the Olympics one day. “People that knew Evan know he was not far away from that,” Guendling said. “He was just one of the fastest kids I have ever seen.” Many people have turned to social media to express their sadness over the loss of Gray. Lance Mudd, a former teammate in football and track at Poway, wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “…You always pushed Brandon Lucas and I to achieve your legendary status on the Track & Field while being an amazing friend,” he wrote. “I have always made it my mission to learn from you on the football field and on the track, you taught me so much that I was never able to thank you for and so much that I will never forget. I miss you so much man, you were an amazing friend and I love you

brother!” Gray has three brothers, Corey, Austin and Kyle. Corey is a senior at Poway and plays defender for the varsity boys soccer team. He played in honor of his brother on Thursday night, helping the Titans beat Canyon Crest Academy 2-1 in the championship game of the Parker Cup tournament. “He played his heart out for his brother,” Titans coach Eugene Morris said. “We could not have won if he didn’t play last night, I can tell you that. It was a very emotional game for him. He finished it in tears, but he wanted to play for his brother. I don’t think Evan would have wanted him to miss that game.” Poway football coach and athletic director Damian Gonzalez said Gray will be missed. “He had a very infectious smile and great personality, very friendly and outgoing,” Gonzalez said. “It has been very somber around here, especially for our staff and coaches that knew him. It is shock and disbelief. You hate to see it with anyone so young. It is tragic.”

Poway Share Foods closing Saturday Food co-op program has been in Poway since the 1980s BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Share Foods will be closing its doors for the last time on Saturday. The food co-op, which began operating in Poway in the mid-1980s, has been run since 2003 by Vicki Cohan and Don Godfrey. Godfrey said it was closing because of a lack of orders due to lots of local competition. “It’s been a slow decline,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming. It’s just time to close it down. It’s hard to walk away from it, some customers have been coming for the whole 13 years we’ve been running it, we have a long relationship with them, and our volunteers as well.” Poway Share Foods is one of the host sites for Golden Share Foods, a food buying club that began in 1983. It was designed to help those on Social Security and eventually expanded to include anyone who wanted to save money on food and help out their community. There are no qualifications to participate. “If you eat, you qualify,” said Godfrey. Customers came in everything from electric mobility scooters to Hummers, he said. The organization is not a food bank, but provides monthly menus of food that can be ordered for a cost savings of 20 to 40 percent, according to the website. While several host sites for Golden Share Foods remain in San Diego, Godfrey said the only ones remaining in North County are in Oceanside and Ramona. “We got a lot of orders from members of the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church,” he said. “This is going to hurt them.” Godfrey said that at its peak, Poway Share Foods had between 30 and 40 people placing orders each month, a number that has dropped over the years.

Don Godfrey and Vicki Cohan. The couple took over Poway Share Foods in 2003 after becoming dissatisfied in how the previous owners were running the host site, said Godfrey. The people who ran it were using the program to pay their bills, he said, and were going to shut the program down. “Vicki and I love volunteering, so we took it over,” said Godfrey. Running the Poway Share Foods host site was a labor of love for the couple. Godfrey said they got up at 4 a.m. on delivery days to pick up the food for distribution. “Sometimes it was a full-time job,” said Godfrey. “It’s a lot of work.” Godfrey said that while Poway Share Foods is closing, his and Cohan’s volunteer work isn’t finished. “We’ll continue to volunteer with our church,” he said. Godfrey and Cohan work with their church’s homeless ministry.

San Diego Council OKs marijuana moratorium Follows statewide approval of Proposition 64 (CNS) - The San Diego City Council on Tuesday slapped a 45-day moratorium on recreational marijuana activities in San Diego, such as commercial cultivation or sales. The temporary ban will buy time for city officials to set up land use and public safety regulations. San Diego began permitting medical marijuana dispensaries only last year, and now city officials have to come to grips with voter passage of statewide Proposition 64, which allows recreational use of the drug. The measure, approved in last month's general election, immediately legalized possession, transport, use and transfer of marijuana for people aged 21 years or older. It also immediately allowed personal indoor and outdoor cultivation of up to six living marijuana plants at a private residence. State licensing of commercial operations is expected to start at the beginning of 2018. The Poway City Council has approved a similar temporary ordinance. The city does not allow medical marijuana shops.

“San Diego does not currently have any policy in place related to recreational marijuana as we do for medical marijuana,” Councilwoman Lorie Zapf said. “We believe it's important that our city take some steps to provide consistency and clarity to our constituents, as well as the business community.'' The moratorium temporarily bans the establishment of recreational marijuana dispensaries, commercial cultivation and manufacturing businesses. It was passed unanimously after a provision that barred personal outdoor cultivation was removed. That provision is a part of Poway’s ordinance. San Diego city officials have already been working on a regulatory framework for recreational marijuana, and draft recommendations were issued last week. For the most part, they mirror restrictions placed on medical marijuana dispensaries. The recommendations were to be considered today (Thursday) by the Planning Commission and taken up by the City Council at a future date.

Poway Kiwanis will take on Jack-O-Smash fundraiser Four years ago, when a handful of community members realized that the population of children with special needs in the community was growing, they came up with a plan to tackle the concern. The efforts resulted in the Jack-O-Smash Race and Family Festival, an event to raise money, awareness and support to fund programs for special needs students in Poway Unified School District and San Diego. Since the fundraiser's inception three years ago, nearly $73,000 has been granted to various community programs. Last month the Poway Kiwanis Club board voted unanimously to take over the fundraiser in 2017. “The Poway Kiwanis Club is very excited to take the reins from the previous organizers of the Jack-O-Smash race and festival,” said club President Sharon Gruber. “It has grown into an amazing event. We are excited to grow it into a signature race for runners from all over the county. With the lovely vistas that Poway has to offer and the hopes to make the race not only a more competitive one but a family fun event, the Kiwanians are ready to roll up

their sleeves and build on the amazing job the past organizers started just three short years ago.” Sue Herndon of Poway, one of the event founders and organizers, called on Heather Dugdale and Ginger Couvrette to develop the fundraiser from the ground up. The three women saw the potential for a race and a free fall festival with the goal of

assisting special needs students while increasing awareness. “The percentage of children with special needs has risen dramatically in recent years,” Herndon said. “Young adults, especially those between the ages of 18 and 22, need considerable support as they learn life skills and transition from a school environment to living within the community as contributing

members. The funds we have been able to collect through Jack-O-Smash have had a positive impact on transitional and many other programs.” Couvrette, the race coordinator, reported that the number of racers almost doubled from 400 in 2014 to 765 in October.

festival with everything from jumpies to the “Punkin’ Chunkin’” trebuchet, the world’s largest plinko board to music, food and crafts stations. Three area non-profit programs once again will benefit from the money raised in 2016. Poway Valley Therapeutic Riding Center (PoVa), PUSD Special Needs Foundation and the Transitions Program at Abraxas High School will split approximately $30,000 in funds. “None of us are parents to special needs children, but we understood that there is definitely is a need for the support,” Dugdale said. “And, we just wanted to do something good for the community.” Because the event has grown so much, the organizers approached the Poway Kiwanis Club to take over its operation. The hope is that the move will sustain longevity and offer a larger manpower base for years of continued success, Dugdale said. “Mark your calendars for Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017 at Sportsplex USA in Poway. Lace up those running shoes, and get ready for a bigger and better race, festival and celebrity softball game,” Gruber said.

S.D. mayor, city attorney sworn in Kersey begins second term on council BY JAMES R. RIFFEL SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Mayor Kevin Faulconer, City Attorney Mara Elliott and three new City Council members were sworn in Monday in a ceremony at the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego. Faulconer completed the term of scandal-plagued Bob Filner, who resigned in 2013, so is embarking on his first full four-year term. He was reelected in the June primary. “It is truly an honor and privilege to serve as mayor of this great city, and I am grateful and humbled that San Diegans have placed their trust and confidence in me,” Faulconer said. “It is with a great sense of optimism and responsibility that, together, we begin this new chapter.” He touted progress made since taking office in March 2014, and said he looked forward to working with the new officeholders. Elliott, who defeated Deputy District Attorney Robert Hickey in the general election last month, helped create a culture that made the City Attorney's Office successful, according to her predecessor, Jan Goldsmith. “She will improve up (the culture) with her own style and own priorities,” Goldsmith said. “She is tough, tested and ready to lead.” Elliott told the audience that she would be an independent city attorney accountable to the people, and fight for the interests of the city and residents. Her office defends the city against lawsuits, ensures that municipal policies are implemented legally and prosecutes misdemeanor crimes. “San Diegans need to know that this office will protect them, and criminals need to know that we will prosecute them,”' Elliott said. “There's no better way to measure our success.” Also sworn in were new City Council members Barbara Bry, who represents Carmel Valley, La Jolla and University City; Georgette Gomez, who represents the College Area, City Heights and Southcrest; and Chris Ward, whose district covers downtown, Hillcrest

Mayor Kevin Faulconer and North Park. Mark Kersey, who represents Rancho Bernardo and Scripps Ranch; and Scott Sherman, whose district covers territory in Linda Vista, Mission Valley and San Carlos, took the oath of office for their second terms after being reelected in June. Later, Councilwoman Myrtle Cole was named council president on a 6-3 vote. “What I plan to do is work with every single individual on this dais ... to move their district forward and to move this city forward -- that's all I want to do,” said Cole, who represents neighborhoods in Southeast San Diego. Many of the 30 or so public speakers, including members of organized labor and environmental groups, backed Councilman David Alvarez and pushed for a more aggressive pursuit of progressive policies. Cole did receive some union support, however. Alvarez, Gomez and Ward cast the dissenting votes. The council president position comes with considerable power. Cole, who succeeds Sherri Lightner in the post, will shape the debate over civic issues, set the panel's agenda, run the council meetings, determine committee assignments and appear often with the mayor in a ceremonial role.

BY EMILY SORENSEN A Poway Unified School District orchestra instructor nominated for a Grammy award is a top 10 finalist. Ulli Reiner, who has taught music in the PUSD middle schools since 1983 and currently teaches at Bernardo Heights and Twin Peaks middle schools, was one of 25 semifinalists for the Grammy Music Educator Award. Now, she is one of the top 10 finalists and a contender for the top prize, which includes $10,000 to be used in their school and a trip to the 59th annual Grammy Awards in February. As a top 10 finalist, Reiner will receive a $1,000 prize. She said she will split it evenly between her Bernardo Heights and Twin Peaks classes and is giving her students the opportunity to tell her what they’d like to see the money go toward. Reiner was selected out of 5,000 to be named a semi-finalist for the award, which recognizes current educators who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the field of music education and demonstrate a commitment to maintaining music education in schools. She was also a top 25 semi-finalist last year. The award is open to current

In order to be considered for the award, Reiner had to collect testimonials and submit video footage of her students rehearsing. Last year, she submitted footage from Twin Peaks while this year she used footage from Bernardo Heights. “I was extremely excited (when I found out I was a finalist),” said Reiner. “It was almost like I was in shock.” Finding out she was a finalist came with mixed emotions, she said, because she got the call while preparing to leave for a friend’s funeral. “It was so unusual because I was preparing to be in tears. I was trying to deal with a complete

reversal of emotion.” Reiner said it took time for the excitement to sink in, but she’s humbled to be named a finalist and that she is most excited for her students. “I want to make this a great experience for them,” she said. “I want them to see what can happen with their hard work. It’s such an honor to represent the district and the kids’ hard work as well. I have such wonderful students and they’re so excited about this too.” In addition to being the orchestra director for Bernardo Heights and Twin Peaks, Reiner is also the instructor for PUSD’s music appreciation classes that are offered to non-music students. She is an adjunct member of Palomar College; concertmaster of the Palomar College Symphony Orchestra; the founder, orchestra manager and concertmaster of the PUSD Adult School’s Poway Symphony Orchestra; artistic director and co-founder of the Youth Philharmonic Orchestra of San Diego’s intermediate symphony; and Suzuki School and many others. She was also the founder and former director of the Poway High School Symphony and has previous taught orchestra at Mt. Carmel High School and Black Mountain, Mesa Verde and Meadowbrook middle schools.

County collecting sweaters for needy dogs Buying your dog a festive doggie sweater or coat for the holidays? Throw two into the shopping basket or donate an old one to County Animal Services’ “Paw It Forward” campaign for pets of homeless people. Every year, Animal Services takes part in Project Homeless Connect, an event that offers a wide array of services to the local homeless population. Dozens of dogs, and even cats, show up with their homeless owners. County Animal Services gives the animals brief check-ups, vaccinations, licenses and microchips but they’d like to offer a warm, fuzzy sweater or coat for these animals, too. This “Paw It Forward” campaign would help the homeless pets stay warm during the cold winter months. “We know the homeless will be getting a number of services but we want to make sure their pets get some attention, too,” said County Animal Services Director Dawn Danielson. “The homeless often take better care of their pets than they do of themselves. When we gave out pet sweaters and coats at the event last year, these pet owners loved them!” About 400 pet sweaters and coats were

There’s a special need for medium, large and extra-large sweaters but any size is welcome. The Project Homeless Connect event takes place Wednesday, Jan. 25 at Golden Hall. County Animal Services will accept donations of new and used pet sweaters and jackets at their three locations starting now through Friday, Dec. 30.

Del Norte High honors 26 social science students BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Del Norte High School has recently honored 26 students through its monthly Character Recognition Program. This fourth group of students for the 2016-17 academic year were selected by teachers and staff members in the social science department. The students were recognized on Dec. 6 “because of their outstanding character, attitude and contributions to their classrooms,” school officials said. “They have influenced both their peers and teachers in a positive way.” The honored students were: Sophomores Parker Cloutier, Joe Kolterman, Rebekah Mauseth, Mattea Wendell and Shelby Westbrook. Juniors Brian Crow, Dalton Harris, Tristan Hooker, Andrew Keirn, Chad Lammers, Hector Medrano, Sophia Sharaf, Ashna Sood, Venya Vaddi and Carter Williams. Seniors Tyler Barton, Jessica Boyer, Kaumron Eidaghy, Alexa Hupp, Rosie Kumar, Kareem Lakkis, Madison Mikschl, Adarsh Patel, Amber Polis, Adrien Sanding and Jordyn Schuette. The recognition program is sponsored by the Del Norte PTSA, Del Norte Foundation and Dr. Jolene Zin. Each month another department on campus will nominate students for recognition.

Study: City’s street light repair system needs improvements BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The city of San Diego’s replacement of street lights is inefficient and fails to meet a goal of making repairs within 12 days or less, according to a report delivered to the City Council’s Audit Committee. The study by city auditors, which was presented on Dec. 7, found that performance data on San Diego’s 60,000 street lights are unreliable and difficult to analyze, repairs are only one of competing priorities for employees in the Street Division of the Transportation and Storm Water Department and that vehicles used to repair lights are not available sometimes. The issue is important because the presence of working street lights reduces the danger of crashes by 14 to 30 percent, according to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. They can also improve personal security and reduce crimes like vandalism. FROM HOSPITAL, A1 care, a neuropsychiatric unit, a surgical weight loss program and rehabilitation services. The hospital is a certified advanced cardiac lifesaving

“This kind of backed up what I thought might be the result from constituent complaints we were getting about how long it took to get things turned on and energized and repaired,’’ committee Chairman Scott Sherman said. He said the results were actually worse than he expected. In a survey of residents last year, barely over half of the respondents reported that they were satisfied with the city’s street lights. During the audit, the Street Division had open service notifications for almost 3 percent of city street lights. The average repair time was 17 days in one fiscal year and 16 in the other. However, fixes in situations in which a pole was knocked over averaged nearly seven months. The audit also found that the division has no written repair process, no policies or procedures for prioritizing fixes or retaining records, no inventory for parts,

care treatment facility, a primary stroke center and a CMS Center of Excellence in stroke, diabetes management and bariatric surgery, officials said. It has also received honors for its gastric banding, gastric stapling,

and employees have trouble finding the needed bulbs, fixtures and poles. “Coming from the private sector, it’s kind of shocking to me that we don’t have the inventories, we don’t have the systems in place to track inventory,’’ Sherman said. “That’s just one of the basic components of what you do — you fix things and you know what you have to make sure you get your job done.’’ The auditors recommended, among other things, that the city update its data on the conditions of its street lights and improve planning. Staff said the city is developing an infrastructure management system that will include street lights and provide laptop computers to employees in the field. The system is scheduled to be in place in one year. Management agreed to the seven recommendations, and the audit was forwarded by the committee to the full City Council.

www.pomeradonews.com FROM PUSD, A1 Beatty suggested that in using the rotational method, Zane should be president, Sellers vice-president and Beatty clerk, meaning Sellers would begin serving as president next December and Beatty in December 2018. “(Rotating positions is the) rich tradition that historically has been the way the board has governed,” Beatty said, adding that in this way no one feels slighted and gives everyone a chance to learn in the positions. In accordance with Beatty’s suggestion, Sellers nominated Zane for president, but Zane declined the nomination and instead nominated O’Connor-Ratcliff. Sellers called this “unprecedented” as the PUSD has never had a board member

FROM PATAPOW, A1 chain of command, going from teachers to counselors to vice principals to principals to associate superintendent to the superintendent before being brought to the board, he said, as this allows the complaints to be handled on the appropriate level. Instead, he said, the board is “micromanaging” complaints, which has caused problems. Patapow said how his fellow board members have attempted to do everything themselves has “really pissed me off” because it causes the district to lose all sense of organization and takes away from staff who are trained to handle those responsibilities. He said fellow board members Kimberley Beatty and Charles Sellers both tried to handle everything themselves when they should have turned issues over to school principals to handle. “There needs to be a set procedure,” Patapow said. “They’re sharp on procedure, but they don’t follow it.” He also called out Beatty, saying she was elected solely to get rid of Collins and her attempts to do so caused school business to stop. About Collins, Patapow said he thought his failure to hire an assistant superintendent, a role Collins had performed for former Supts. Bob Reeves and Don Phillips, lead to his issues. “It was too much,” said Patapow. “(The lack of an assistant superintendent to help him) and personal problems at home put too much on him and he lost it.” Patapow said he was “very surprised” at how the accusations of Collins, uncovered in an audit, went down, but those accusations still need to be proven. He said he regrets that Collins wasn’t officially given a chance to give his side of the story to the board. “I couldn’t do anything as one person,” he said. “I feel bad about that. I was concerned at the time and remain concerned that John wasn’t given the chance to give his side. I would have liked to see him give his side before it became a court case.” He said Collins wanted to finish out his contract next June and retire, but tthe other board members were “headhunting” and wouldn’t allow it. “Charlie (Sellers) and Kimberley (Beatty) were really against (letting him finish his contract) and the others were too new to know any better. The audit (made it seem) black and white.” Patapow said the worst day of his life in education was going with Collins and Collins’ wife to watch him empty out his desk at the district office. “It was a total mess. That could have been handled differently, but it wasn’t in the cards because the group wanted John out now.” Patapow also said he didn’t regret voting for the

serve as president twice consecutively and everyone doesn’t agree with the nomination. “Everyone else has patiently waited for their turn for leadership,” Sellers said before nominating himself for president. After losing the vote for president, Sellers also nominated himself for vice-president while O’Connor-Ratcliff nominated Zane. Zane won in a 3–2 vote. O’Connor-Ratcliff nominated Sellers for the position of clerk, but Sellers declined the nomination and instead nominated Beatty. O’Connor-Ratcliff then nominated Patel to the visible shock of the audience. Patel was elected clerk after Patel ultimately voted for herself, saying it was a difficult decision. The next regular board meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17. CABs, as they ultimately served the kids in the district. He said the $128 million the bond provided was needed to finish work that was in progress on several schools in the district to make them equal to newer-built schools. “At the time when we voted, I was thinking of the promise (the board) made to voters that we wouldn’t go above the $58 threshold,” said Patapow. “We were looking for ways to finance (the reconstruction).” Patapow said that at the time of voting the $1 billion figure never came up in open or closed session and that he doesn’t remember if the option to refinance the bonds ever came up. “We needed enough money to finish off the construction in projects to make our schools equal for all the kids in the district,” he said. “Kids living in (the Mello-Roos areas) were going to state-of-the-art schools. We wanted to create equal opportunities no matter where kids went to school in the district.” He also said that he hoped that down the road, the assessed valuation of the bonds will go up so the repayment will be less. Prior to being elected to the school board, Patapow spent 30 years in the district, all but his first as the principal of Abraxas High School. “Continuation high schools were a relatively new thing when Abraxas opened,” Patapow said. “It was primarily a place to dump kids that no one could handle.” Patapow said this changed over the years, as he and his staff changed the curriculum to suit the individual students’ needs rather than all students. “My idea was to essentially have 13 one-room schoolhouses,” he said. “Each teacher was responsible for all subjects.” Students signed a contract that they would complete so many hours for credits, Patapow said. Many of his students ended up graduating early and went on to college, after putting many hours of work in outside of the classroom. Many of his former students still live in Poway and Patapow said he runs into them often. Patapow praised Abaraxas’ current principal, David MacLeod, for his work to erase the stigma Abraxas has carried for years as being the place where bad kids went. “That stigma is slowly going away thanks to David’s work,” he said. He said he has spent his time on the board as a spokesperson for kids, staff and parents and for education. “Most board members don’t have the background in education that I do,” said Patapow. Now that he is retired, Patapow said he plans to “do nothing” for a while. “I’m taking a break from all my commitments,” he said, though he does plan to attend a few Safety Wellness Advocacy Committee Coalition meetings to make sure thaat group is still getting the information it needs.

Poway kids shop with ‘heroes’

n estimated 200 underserved local youngsters participated in the 10th annual Holiday with Heroes event on Dec. 8 where they shopped for family members at the Poway Walmart store accompanied by a Camp Pendleton Marine, local first-responder or other community “hero.” Each child was given a $100 gift card to spend, provided by the Kiwanis Club of Poway Foundation and the Poway-based Summit for Children Worldwide. Volunteers wrapped their gifts and each child and Marine received a no-sew fleece blanket prepared by members of the Kiwanis Club and their sponsored youth groups. The children also took home a reading book and hand-made ornament, met with Santa Claus and enjoyed a hot dog dinner.

DAYS OF

FINANCIAL PLANNING

The holiday season is meant to be a happy and fun time, so I fully understand that the idea of discussing financial planning right now may rank just above eating a holiday fruit cake. With that being said, let’s look at some end of year financial planning strategies in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas On the first day of Planning, my country gave me lower tax rates. There is a good chance tax reform in 2017 will result in lower tax rates, so if you have the opportunity, defer income from 2016 to 2017. This might be in the form of a bonus that you can defer into next year or an expense you can incur this year. On the second day of Planning, I maxed out my employer retirement accounts. Contributing to a traditional retirement account reduces current year taxable income. The other benefit by contributing to your retirement accounts is that you are putting money aside for retirement. I am yet to meet a person in retirement who was upset that they put too much money away for retirement. On the third day of Planning I grew my IRA. In addition to traditional employer retirement accounts, you can also deduct contributions to your IR A account depending on your income. The maximum contribution is $5,500 ($6,500 if over age 50). The deadline to make IR A contributions is April 17, 2017. On the fourth day of Planning I gave some stuff away. Charitable deductions are a great way to reduce your taxable income if you itemize your deductions. Remember that any donations worth $250 or more must be recognized with a receipt from the charity. On the fifth day of Planning I converted over. If you are in a very low tax bracket, consider converting some of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. When you convert, you are going to pay taxes on the amount you convert. The savings can really add up if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in the future. The deadline to convert is December 31. On the sixth day of Planning, I rebalanced. The rising equity markets have grown portfolios, which may mean you want to realize some of those gains. If you sell holdings in an after-tax account, you will owe taxes. However, if you have these holdings in a deferred tax account, like a 401k or traditional IRA, you won’t owe taxes. The strategy here is to rebalance when you have gains in tax deferred accounts where possible. On the seventh day of Planning, I realized my losses. Even though markets have appreciated, perhaps you have some holdings where you are still underwater and are debating about whether to sell them now or in 2017. You can use these capital losses to offset capital gains and up to $3,000 of ordinary income. This only applies to after tax accounts, as losses in tax deferred accounts are not deductible. On the eighth day of Planning, I funded my HSA. If you have an HSA compatible, high-deductible health plan, be sure fund it by the April 15th deadline. Contributions to the plan are tax deductible and distributions are taxfree for qualified medical expenses. On the ninth day of Planning, I gave. The annual gifting exclusion for 2016 and 2017 is $14,000 to each donee. If you plan on gifting someone more than $14,000 in 2017, consider giving some of that in 2016 to avoid filing a gift tax return.

On the tenth day of Planning, I took my RMD. If you are required (think over age 70.5) to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your retirement accounts, be sure to take it prior to December 31. The penalty for not taking it is 50% of the required distribution. Inherited IRA’s have their own set of required minimum distributions, so be sure to stay on top of that as not all custodians will provide you with alerts. On the eleventh day of Planning, I got health insurance. December 15 is the last day to enroll in or change plans for coverage to start January 1, 2017 in the Health Insurance Marketplace. On the twelfth day of Planning, I gave to the future. Unsure of what to give a child or grandchild? Consider opening a 529 college savings plan to help fund their future education. The annual gift limit is $14,000 per person but you can pay up to five years in advance. The beauty of these accounts is that you maintain ownership of the account, not the beneficiary. I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season. Don’t forget to include a financial goal or two in your New Year’s resolutions. Brian Basinger was raised in Rancho Bernardo.

Make sure it’s a safe holiday A

s they do every year, local law enforcement officials are reminding residents to take simple steps to avoid becoming a crime victim during this holiday season. Same message, yes, but it’s an important one worth repeating in this space. Whether you shop for gifts at retail stores or online, you need to be extra careful. For starters, when out the public, avoid carrying large amounts of cash and limit the number of credit cards in your purse or wallet. If you prefer to use cash, keep different amounts in different pockets so not to expose the entire amount to a potential thief. Keep your purse close to your side or in front of you. Your wallet should be placed in a front pocket, with a rubber band around it. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Criminals look for people who are preoccupied with their cell phones, putting bags into their car or who are looking down while they are walking. Always shop with a friend or two. Shop during daylight hours when possible. At night, park close to the building and under a light. As you approach your vehicle, have your keys ready, look under your vehicle, into the back seat and then the front seat. Get in quickly and lock all the doors. Always place packages where they cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle. If you do not have a trunk, cover the packages up. Shopping online? Experts recommend using a trusted site rather than shopping with a search engine. That’s because search engine results can be rigged to lead you astray. Make sure the site you’re using when making a credit card purchase starts with HTTPS:// instead of HTTP://. Also look for an icon of a locked padlock. Never give anyone your credit card number using an email. Don’t wait until the end of the month to check your account statements. Go online regularly during the holiday season to look at electronic statements for your credit cards, debit card and checking accounts. At home, always keep your windows and exterior doors locked, even when at home. Do not put large displays of gifts on in view of your windows. Did you receive a new flat screen TV or other large item for Christmas? Great, but be sure to cut up and conceal the big box because you don’t want to advertise what is now inside your home to a potential burglar. One final suggestion, and this applies year round. If you park in your driveway, lock the vehicle at all times. It does no good to lock up your home and leave the vehicle, with a garage door opener inside, unlocked. Wishing each of you a happy and safe holiday season.

OUR READERS WRITE Water hike ‘unconscionable’ As a Poway resident for 23 years, I am appalled by the recent announcement of plans for a 7.75-to-8.75 percent water rate increase. It is unconscionable that the main reason cited for this rate increase is “reduced water sales.” Although other reasons have been mentioned, it appears that the collective efforts of Poway residents to reduce water use to meet the state’s challenge of cutting back on water use during the state’s severe drought situation, is the primary reason for this proposed rate hike. How can anyone in good conscience ask a group of people to comply with the adopted water restrictions, and when they do, slap them with what essentially amounts to a fine (and not just a one-time but ongoing one) for following through on exactly what was asked of them? This is exactly what is being done here and I hope that our City Council will take a stand against this egregious and unfair proposed action. What is even more outrageous, is that this 8.75 percent rate increase would be occurring at a time that many working full-time have experienced zero or very small pay increases from their employers over the past several years. And let's not forget that since 2004, Poway's water rates have gone from $1.93 per unit to now $5.58 per unit, on average. That is an almost astounding 200 percent increase in just a little over a decade, while the general inflation rate has been about 30 percent during this same period. I hope the Poway City Council does the residents of Poway right by not allowing this increase to go into effect in 2017. Mike Hadjiaghai Poway

A ‘right-wing con’ Upon reading the Dec. 1 Dick Lyles column on disadvantaged being “conned,” I was compelled to respond. Mr. Lyles starts off by referencing deaths among law enforcement and pivots to another admonishment of the Obama presidency. Lyles cites 60 law enforcement deaths in 2016 thus far. According to a national database using public records and news reports, more than 884 people have been shot and killed by law enforcement in the U.S. in 2016. While neither number is acceptable, both statistics are important for perspective. To blame President Obama's “divisive” presidency is the right-wing “con.” In the past eight years, according to ourfuture.com, Republicans have blocked legislation on Wall Street reform, support for veterans, jobs bills, small business tax incentives for new hires, healthcare for 9/11 responders, defense appropriations (think extra support for embassies like Bengazi) and immigration reform. Shouts of “you lie” during the State of the Union address, not to mention Congressional refusal to hold hearings for Obama's Supreme Court nominee, do not indicate divisiveness coming from the president. The Affordable Care Act began as a Republican proposal (recordings from the Nixon administration describe the current plan), but as Obama's compromise proposal, the ACA is disparaged. Republicans point to increase in co-pays this year without mentioning that it was Sen. Marco Rubio's addition to the omnibus bill that took away the government support for higher-risk participants that caused most of the increase. Republicans have enjoyed blocking reforms to help the middle class then you claim Obama is being divisive? Stop the con! Gina Zanolini Poway SEE LETTERS, A17

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

The big reveal

he truth is always revealed. Most often, the truth about the character of a person or group shows itself in the face of adversity. The stunning defeat of the left and the media in this year’s elections has clearly laid bare their core values. They lost the presidency, were outvoted by 3 million votes in Congressional races and lost ground in many state-level elections as well. One reason they lost was that most voters were skeptical about their commitment to reunite America. Those who campaigned under this mantra started with a credibility disadvantage because of the divisive and polarizing actions of President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The distrust was exacerbated when Hillary Clinton and her supporters on the left showed a deep and abiding disrespect for anyone with whom they disagree. Her “basket of

FROM LETTERS, A16

More on Lyles Kudos to columnist Dick Lyles (Dec. 1) for pointing out that President Obama is directly responsible for the lethal attacks on our police force. Some people illogically insist that the blame rests on the proliferation of guns, which cause police officers to be justifiably nervous and defensive. Fortunately, Lyles sees through this fabrication. Others try to point out that the country has been on a divisive course for a long time, as evidenced by the “supposed” polarization of both houses of Congress, fueled by pundits vested in opinion extremes. Again, Lyles is far too savvy to be fooled by that fantasy. No, he places the blame

deplorables” comment was a huge reveal similar to Mr. Obama’s “These people cling to their Bibles and their guns” remark. And now, the left’s post-election behavior has confirmed that at their core they are dividers, not unifiers. We use the term “perpetual adolescence” to describe adults who never grow up. We need a similar term to specifically describe adults with childish attitudes about politics. Foremost among these is President Obama, who after the election told people in foreign countries his “policies are actually very popular.” Eighty percent of the population thinks the country is on the wrong track. His policies and his party just suffered the biggest drubbing in modern history. His most consistent trait besides making false promises is to blame others for his failures. The term “chronic infantilism” to describe his character doesn’t work. My seven grandchildren, ages 3 to 10, show more maturity. If the left truly wants unity, they should show it. Character is defined by action, not empty statements. Consider two outrageous examples of their divisive behavior in the aftermath of the elections. Can you name any president-elect other than Donald Trump who delivered tangible results on campaign promisesbefore being inaugurated? Me neither. So far Mr. Trump has saved what he said was 1,000 permanent Carrier jobs in Indiana, influenced Dow to open an R & D center in Michigan and influenced Softbank of Japan to invest $50 billion and bring 50,000 jobs to America. These are all

good for America. The left’s response? Unabashed criticism. Preposterous! Can’t they at least be honest and admit saving jobs is good for America, even if done by a Republican? Mr. Trump started announcing cabinet picks more quickly than most presidents-elect. His selections of a diverse mix of talented people has been greeted with over-the-top criticism. For example, when Ben Carson — who rose from a single parent home in the Baltimore ghetto to become a world-renowned surgeon, best-selling author and respected candidate for president — was chosen to head HUD, Nancy Pelosi called him “disconcertedly and disturbingly unqualified.” She said he lacks “the credentials” for the job. This is how the left launches a unity blitz to bring America together. The Democrats are undermining their own credibility far more effectively than Republicans ever could. Gone is the luxury of saying one thing while doing another and relying on the mainstream media to cover your deceit. By “democratizing” access to information through Twitter, social media has pushed the reset button on Democracy, and the left now stands naked before us. America will find unity again, despite the left’s best efforts. The irony will come when the United States once again becomes united, and the Democratic Party is seen as the obstacle that had to be overcome because the left pouted its way to irrelevance. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

intended, it comes off as an insult to the American public. My primary criticism of his piece, though, is that instead of coming up with new ideas he thought of himself, he regurgitated some faulty analogies he found on the internet, probably originated by the “Fourth Estate” (his reference to the media). For example, he compares Donald Trump's “caught on camera” disrespect of women to the lyrics of certain Grammy winners. Mr. Cronin, I can avoid association with those winners, but it is very difficult, as a citizen, to avoid the words and actions of the future president of the United States. Next time, I hope Mr. Cronin reviews his essay with a little more critical thinking before submitting it for publication. I have no objection to him, only to the quality of his essay. Ramona Roesner Poway

Critical thinking, please I question columnist Barry Cronin's (Dec. 8) use of the phrase “lab rats” to refer to some American voters (perhaps all of us). This might have been a good analogy in his mind, but the “lab rats” phrase might have been better kept to himself. None of us (Democrats, Republicans or independents) think of ourselves that way.

Prep Boys Basketball

Palomar League up for grabs with exit of TPHS BY MICHAEL BOWER The exit of the Torrey Pines High boys basketball team from the Palomar League has opened the door for Poway and Rancho Bernardo this season. Both figure to be in a heated race for the league title. Del Norte will play its first season in the Palomar League, while Maranatha Christian eyes improvement from a 6-19 finish last year. The Eagles will get a spark on Jan 2, when junior transfer point guard Philip Willis is eligible. Here is a closer look at the local teams:

Del Norte ■ Coach: Bob Spahn ■ Division: II ■ 2015-16: 10-18, 5-5; eliminated in first round of Division III playoffs ■ Key players: PG, Edgar Rodriguez, Sr.; SG, Kaden Tollestrup, Sr.; F, Chase Howard, Sr.; G/F,

Jake Moore, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks should be much improved with 13 seniors on the roster, including expected leading scorer Rodriguez. Spahn plans to ramp up the defense in hopes it will spark the offense. “Our emphasis for the last nine months has really been on the defensive side,” he said. “We are hoping our defense can be our best offense.” Rodriguez is a two-year starter. He will likely provide most of the offense for the Nighthawks along with Tollestrup. “Rodriguez is the one that certainly gets everything going,” Spahn said. The Nighthawks are happy to be playing in the Palomar League for the first time. They expect to be competitive in the league and hope to give frontrunners Poway and RB a difficult time. “I think the two strongest teams in the league are Poway and RB, but I don’t think anybody is going to concede to them,” Spahn said. “I think us,

Westview and Mt. Carmel are all going to be right in there.” ****

Maranatha ■ Coach: Brooks Barnhard ■ Division: IV ■ 2015-16: 6-19, 2-6; missed playoffs ■ Key players: C, Alex Buffini, Sr.; G, Micaiah Boettner, Jr.; F, Matthew Brashear, So.; G, Nate Salas, So.; PG, Phillip Willis, Jr.; G, Adam Buffini, Jr. ■ Outlook: The Eagles are expected to soar with the addition of Willis, a 6-1 transfer from Horizon. He will not be eligible until Jan. 2, but even without Willis Maranatha is already nearing its win total from last year. The Eagles are 4-2 through their first six games, as three different players are averaging double-figure scoring in Boettner, Alex Buffini and SEE BOYS HOOPS, B4

BY MICHAEL BOWER Quentin Hovis proved to be the ultimate ironman. The Poway High senior, who transferred to the school after winning three state titles in Arizona, took down the top-ranked wrestler in the country, David Carr of Perry High-Ohio, to win the 152-pound title at the prestigious Walsh Ironman Invitational at Walsh Jesuit in Ohio on Saturday. The 5-2 victory for Hovis in the final capped a perfect 5-0 run through arguably the toughest high school tournament in the country. Hovis, who is ranked No. 1 in the state, helped Poway finish in 12th place out of 85 teams. Jacob Allen also placed for Poway, taking seventh at 106 pounds.

Campillo becoming model citizen on pitch for Titans BY TERRY MONAHAN As a center midfielder at Poway High, Bradley Campillo’s role last season was to run the offense. His presence on the field was vital. However, Campillo spent a lot of time on the sidelines instead thanks to receiving yellow cards. When you receive a yellow card you automatically have to leave the game until the next stoppage of play. “I look back and it’s funny how just one tackle can change a game,’’ the Titans’ senior said. “I’d get angry and totally lose my focus. “Coach (Gene Morris) helped me grow up. He kept telling me this was totally unnecessary and how I was hurting the team.’’

Prep Girls Basketball

Local teams enter season with rosters full of talent BY MICHAEL BOWER The Palomar League takes on a new look with the exit of Torrey Pines High and Canyon Crest Academy and the additions of Del Norte and Mission Vista. The Broncos, Titans, and Wolverines figure to be fighting it out for first place with the Nighthawks just behind. Maranatha Christian should back up its outstanding season from a year ago with another one, as star Izzy Landis returns with a strong supporting cast. Here is a closer look at the local teams:

Pacific League, but they have the talent to compete. Landis, who figures to wrap up her career as the all-time leader in scoring, rebounding and blocks at the school, leads the way again. She averaged a double-double last season (10 points, 10 rounds). She will have plenty of support, as Maranatha has improved its depth thanks to an influx of talented freshmen. “We have taken a big step forward simply because we have the depth this year,” Jackson said. “This year we have a solid 10 deep. I am still trying to figure out who the starters are. It is a good problem to have.” Francis Parker is the favorite in the Pacific League. ****

Del Norte ■ Coach: Jake McNeely ■ Division: II ■ 2015-16: 13-16, 8-2; eliminated in first round of Division I playoffs. ■ Key players: G/PG, Jessica Camerino, Sr.; PG, Sofia Ahooja, Jr.; G/F, Madison Ambre, Jr.; G, India Starr, Fr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks are led by four-year varsity starter Camerino and she is surrounded by a group of talented young players, including freshman Starr. Del Norte has a handful of strong perimeter shooters and is hoping to get some contribution from the post to open up those 3-point shots. “We usually have two or three girls that we feel comfortable with shooting from 3-point distance,” McNeely said. “This year we feel comfortable with about half of the roster

It will be a huge challenge to keep that pace up in the Palomar League. “With Poway, Rancho Bernardo and Westview, it is going to be really tough,” McNeely said. “But we are where we belong.

Annie Meggers, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos return seven seniors, six of them have been playing together since the fifth grade. The expectations are high with this group and a Palomar League championship is within reach. “They have prepared themselves well for this opportunity and they all have one goal in mind this year,” Williamson said. “They are really shutting everything out to avoid distractions and to be mentally ready for every practice and game.” Murray is one of the best 3-point shooters in the school’s history and she can deliver in the paint. Pierick has developed into a leader and wreaks havoc on the defensive end of the floor. All of the pieces seem to be in place for league and section title runs. “We have a lot of depth at every position and we have a lot of experience,” Williamson said. “These girls have the chemistry and experience. They have seen it all.”

Brashear, who was the second-leading scorer last year, is averaging 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. The biggest obstacle for the Eagles to overcome will be their lack of height. “We are small,” Barnhard said. “And in our league Tri-City Christian is really big. But our kids like to get out and push it and we have more shooters and ball handlers than I have ever had.” The Eagles went just 2-6 in the Pacific League last season, but could challenge for a league championship this year.

SHERRI DUNLAP

Derek Sit and the Titans are hoping to win the school’s first Palomar League title since 1998. Poway is looking to improve on that with the return of three key pieces in Cooke-Harper, Reiter and Sit. The trio is expected to pace the Titans’ offense in most games, but Fisher knows he will need others to step up in order to make a deep run in the playoffs at the end of the year. “We need to improve our depth and we need to defend better,” he said. “We need to get consistent contributions.” Cooke-Harper, 6-foot-7, and Reiter, 6-3, both started as sophomores and can attack the rim. Sit runs the offense and is a three-year starter. Poway is hoping to capture its first Palomar League title since 1998. With

■ Coach: Marc Basehore ■ Division: II ■ 2015-16: 21-9, 7-3; eliminated in semifinals of Division II playoffs ■ Key players: PG, JJ Overton, Sr.; F/G, Knox Winkler, Jr.; Andrew C, Thomton, Sr.; G, Taylor Zeimantz, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos were a win away from playing for a section championship last season and with Overton back they hope to get over the hump this year. The 6-5 point guard will play a huge role again for Rancho Bernardo, as he is expected to lead the team in scoring and will likely be asked to guard the opposition’s biggest guy. The plan was for Winkler and Leo Wagner to contribute heavily on the offensive end, but both are injured. Winkler should be back in time for league play, but Wagner is out for the year. “We are just trying to figure things out right now because of the injuries,” Basehore said. “A lot of our stuff is going to be through JJ this year.” The Broncos should challenge Poway for the top spot in the Palomar League. The two will meet for the first time in league play on Jan. 27 at Poway at 7 p.m.

FROM CAMPILLO, B1 This season, Campillo has been a model citizen as Poway won five and tied one of its first six games, including a 2-1 win over Canyon Crest in the finals of the Parker Cup Tournament. “Bradley has become the leader of the team,’’ Morris said. “Before this year he was a smart kid, but a life-of-the-party kid. “His cockiness has gone away. Last year, he was high maintenance. Now, he’s low maintenance.’’ Poway is the beneficiary because this year’s team relies on defense and goaltending. Scoring goals in not something the Titans, who graduated 13 seniors off last year’s squad, do well. They have yet to score three goals in a game. The victory that raised some eyebrows was a 2-1 win over defending San Diego Section Open Division champion Cathedral Catholic in the Parker Tournament. “They’ve had a lot of success, so we just tried to do our best,’’ said Campillo, who tried football, basketball and baseball before throwing himself into soccer full time. “Our mentality changed once we saw what we could do. “We now know what we’re capable of doing. It’s limitless now.’’

Campillo has changed and yet has managed to remain himself as well. He determined a while ago to halt playing club soccer in order to dedicate himself to his Poway teammates and his classroom work. With a 4.0 GPA, which includes a handful of Advanced Placement classes, Campillo has set his sight on his future beyond Poway. Though he hasn’t figured out which college to attend - he’d like to remain in Southern California - he has opted to major in biology. Everything about biology has interested him for some time, even the part of dissecting a frog. “We had about 10 guys ask a girl to cut up their frog, or they went to the bathroom that day,’’ Campillo said. “Looking inside the frog at things like the nervous system and the brain really interests me. “I’ve never seen a human brain, but I would love that day. “The brain is a real thing. Everyone has one. That would be the best class to me.’’ Campillo laughed when he said he didn’t know where that interest in science came from. “My friends, when I say stuff like wanting to see a human brain, give me the look like I’m the only person they know like me,’’ Campillo said.

SDMT stages an enjoyable twist on a holiday classic BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK While many are likely familiar with the storyline of “Miracle on 34th Street” due to its film versions, San Diego Musical Theatre’s stage show presents an enjoyable different take on the holiday classic. “Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Musical Radio Play” can be seen through Dec. 23 at the Horton Grand Theatre in downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. It is SDMT’s first production at that venue, which provides a more intimate setting for its new offering of Off-Broadway productions as a complement to its season of Broadway musicals staged at the Spreckels Theatre, also downtown. In this world premiere, SDMT is presenting “Miracle on 34th Street” as a 1940s-era radio show, with most of the seven cast members voicing multiple characters as their radio-personality personas “broadcast” the story to their “radio” listeners. For this re-telling, SDMT has taken much of the 1947 film version’s plot, combined that with an adaptation of the Lux Radio Hour Broadcast by Lance Arthur Smith from that same year and added some original music plus new arrangements of familiar holiday tunes, SDMT officials said. For those not familiar with the original “Miracle” plot, it focuses on Macy’s employee Doris Walker and her young daughter, Susan, as they learn how to sometimes overlook their practical outlook on life and embrace the spirit of

REVIEW

roles, but her primary role is to portray the practical, hardheaded Doris. Matthew Malecki (radio persona Grady Williams) likewise takes on several characters, but his primary one is as Fred Gailey, Doris’ neighbor and love-interest who is intent on getting Susan to believe in Santa Claus and in the process soften Doris’ tough exterior that was greatly caused by her divorce years earlier. Playing only one characterization each are Julia Van Skike (radio persona Gracie DeMarco), who voices Susan, and Jim Chovick (radio persona Kristofer Van Lisberg), who voices Kris Kringle. Both are charming in their respective roles and sixth-grader Julia is especially expressive, such as when singing her solos “Snowflake Song” and “I Believe in You.” As the only child in the cast she holds up well against her adult co-stars. Rounding out the ensemble cast is Cris O’Bryon, whose multiple talents are showcased as his radio persona Alex Mialdo takes on the role of announcer, pianist and Foley artist (one who makes all the sound effects needed on the radio show, from closing doors to footsteps and clanking flatware on a plate). O’Bryon does an exceptionally good job in this multi-tasking part. “Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Musical Radio Play” can be seen in matinee and evening performances through Dec. 23 at The Horton Grand Theatre, 444 Fourth Ave. in downtown San Diego. Tickets are $30 to $72, with senior, child, student, under 30 and group discounts available. Purchase at sdmt.org or call 858-560-5740.

Jim Chovick, Julia Van Skike and Janaya Mahealani Jones voicing the dialogue for Kris Kringle, Susan Walker and Doris Walker, respectively, in San Diego Musical Theatre’s world premiere of “Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Musical Radio Play.” the season. They learn this lesson via the Santa Claus who Doris hires for the department store. When things go awry, he ends up going through a mental competency hearing right before Christmas because he claims to be the real Kris Kringle. In the process, Doris and her daughter gain a new perspective on life. SDMT’s version provides an enjoyable break from the holiday busyness for audience members, who become part of the “radio show” by being cued via lit signs when to applaud while the “show” is “on air.” The cast members easily glided from their “radio actor” selves to their “Miracle” characters, at times essentially talking to themselves in

different voices to distinguish to the “listening” audience their variations. To help the “viewing” audience further distinguish among their characterizations they employed props and costumes, especially hats. All were successful in this, but among the most creative were Lise Hafso (radio persona Olivia Glatt), who in addition to various adult roles played some children’s parts as well, plus Eric Hellmers (radio persona Wallace Ainsley), who was hilarious as Mr. Macy and Dr. Sawyer simultaneously. All have nice singing voices, but Janaya Mahealani Jones’ is particularly lovely. Her radio persona of Cordelia Ragsdale plays a few different

Looking for an authentic Chicago-style dog in San Diego? Try Duff’s Doggz at 12047 Carmel Mountain Road, in the Carmel Mountain Ranch Home Center near Home Depot. Opened four years ago by Glen “Hatch” Duffy Jr., this family-owned and operated business is in a 100-square-foot kiosk and offers a wide variety of hot dogs and smoked bratwurst. Duffy, who is a retired veteran who served in the Navy as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (serving as a combat medic for the Marine Corps), said that during his last tour in Afghanistan he made himself a promise. “If I come back alive, I’ll open a hot dog stand,” said Duffy. The most important business partner is his dog Agave, who is the restaurant’s customer service representative and is the ongoing employee of the month. If you have a problem with your hotdog, she’ll take care of you. The hot dogs are made of Vienna beef. The Chicago dog is sold exactly as it is in Chicago. Pickles, poppy seed bun and all. It’s a real favorite for Chicago transplants. Last summer, smoked bratwursts were introduced. In addition to the stand, Duff’s Doggz has a mobile catering cart that can bring hot dogs to your event. Duff’s Doggz is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, visit duffsdoggz.com.

Naughty and Nice Culinary Questions

ou better watch out! This holiday season, foodies are more discriminating than ever, reading labels judiciously, making healthier choices, buying sustainable and organic ingredients, and painstakingly preparing treasured recipes from scratch (and with love). That also means more stress for everyone, whether you are hosting a holiday event or are an invited guest. To alleviate your gustatory conscience, relieve your anxiety levels, and make your contributions appreciated and memorable, here are some answers to your ticklish questions — both naughty and nice ones.

Naughty Ones

Q. I’ve been invited to a holiday potluck party from work, and the office manager knows I enjoy baking, so asked that I contribute a home-baked festive treat, like tiramisu or a seasonal trifle. As I’m really busy this time of year, would it be cheating if I bought a dessert, removed it from its original packaging and doctored it up to look homemade? A. Yes, that would be “cheating,” but since this is such a hectic time of year, I think you’ll be forgiven if you bring a lovely store-bought treat (organic or GMO-free is best). Then you can add a personal touch with a passed down family recipe, whether it be a sauce, drizzle, frosting or other unique holiday topping to make your contribution special. Q. I’m preparing a holiday meal, the main course either a seafood risotto or poached salmon. I always use high quality ingredients, but was wondering if I could cut corners and use an inexpensive wine for cooking these dishes? A. Julia Child propelled the school of thought that you shouldn’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. Other oenophiles would beg to differ. While you probably wouldn’t drink a bright wine with a raspy acidity, those qualities are ideal for cooking. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar, masking the true flavor profile of the varietal. But that doesn’t mean you need to uncork a bottle of Lafite Rothschild ($560) to pour into your pans. A middle-of-the-road wine between $6 and $10 a bottle is a good compromise. For risotto use a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay; poach fish in light white wine with fresh herbs; chicken pairs well with red Zinfandel, while beef and lamb are best braised with a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Q. Every Christmas we have dinner at my sister’s home and all the siblings bring their favorite dish. This year she’s insisting on a healthy theme. Unfortunately, my special creations are loaded with butter, cream, sugar and other decadent ingredients. I don’t want to compromise my recipes that everyone loves, but I don’t want to lie either, saying I’ve tweaked them with a healthier twist when I haven’t. Suggestions? A. My suggestion (although it would be

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, ﬁreplace or stove.”

Tiramisu A-Go-Go Serves 4 (Can be doubled) ■ Ingredients: • 1 1/2 packages of ladyfingers (approximately 12 fingers per package) • 2 ounces Kahlua or other coffee liqueur • 1 ounce rum • 6 ounces black COURTESY coffee or espresso (room temperature) Tiramisu • 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract • 1 pound mascarpone cheese • 1/3 cup Confectioners’ sugar • 1 cup assorted fresh berries • Shaved bittersweet chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder ■ Method: Blend mascarpone cheese, sugar, extract and one tablespoon of espresso until smooth. Set aside. Combine liqueur, rum and coffee. Dip ladyfingers in liquid careful not to make them soggy. Line them in a baking pan then spread a thick layer of cheese on top, alternating and finishing with a cheese layer. Top with berries. Chill. Sprinkle with chocolate of choice. Add dollops of whipped cream if desired. —kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

more work for you) is to prepare two versions of your favorite dish — your original one with the indulgent ingredients, and a second healthier riff on the first, substituting organic ghee butter, olive or walnut oil for regular butter, coconut or almond cream for cow’s cream, organic honey, sucanat, or coconut sugar for regular sugar, and use fresh berries in a balsamic glaze as a dessert topping.

Nice Ones

Q. We like to volunteer at food banks or help serve Christmas dinner at homeless shelters. Any thoughts for some other type of food-related gesture our family can partake in? A. Practically every city has pockets of “food deserts,” where people don’t have accessibility to a diversity of fresh, healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Denizens of these “deserts” consequently have poor, unbalanced diets, which often lead to health problems. Bearing gifts of baskets or decorative boxes filled with organic seasonal fruits (apples, tangerines, persimmons, pears), vegetables (roots, squashes, leafy greens), farm products, such as free-range eggs, organic butter, goat cheese, and yogurt, along with whole-wheat bread or some festive home-baked goody, almond butter and preserves would be a lovely blessing for these folks.

Tips for making this holiday gathering the best one yet (StatePoint) As most holiday hosts know, it’s not unheard-of to spend the majority of your party in the kitchen, while guests laugh together down the hall. But preparing in advance can help you reduce stress, have more time to make the moments special and still serve a delicious meal. Here are a few hosting hints to make this holiday the best yet.

Snappy Sides

Make sides in a cinch by doing any chopping, slicing or mixing in advance of the day of your party. Certain sides can even be prepped ahead and popped in the oven just before the guests arrive.

Or, consider making your party a potluck festivity. This way, everyone pitches in on the food, which leaves you time to mine Pinterest for simple DIY holiday décor ideas that are sure to draw more than a few wows.

Main Course

The centerpiece of your celebration, the ham or turkey, shouldn’t involve a ton of work or preparation. When your guests have traveled from all over, why not treat them (and yourself) to a little taste of home that provides the perfect presentation and effortless preparation? One easy way to serve these home favorites without spending all day near the oven is by picking up a

ready-to-serve, premium option locally. Classic options like those from HoneyBaked Ham come spiral sliced so they are effortless to serve. Their handcrafted, premium meats are smoked over blended hardwood chips and finished with a sweet, crunchy glaze, giving flavors that are evocative of happy holiday memories and home cooking. The brand also offers ready-made sides, like green bean casserole and herb stuffing, as well as cakes, pies and other desserts, which could potentially mean one-stop shopping for you. And, while shopping in-store, you can join HoneyBaked Ham in supporting the Gary Sinise Foundation by donating to help our nation’s first SEE HOLIDAY, B17

A Season of Faith

Now the God of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13

Diabetes-friendly comfort foods

ow that we’ve settled into shorter days and cooler temperatures, we’re ready for heartier meals that leave us warm and satisfied. Many of the season’s traditional comfort foods can be high in carbohydrates, which can limit your options – especially if you’re living with diabetes. Fortunately, managing diabetes doesn’t mean you have to pass up these cold-weather favorites. “In most cases, making a few simple substitutions can transform conventional dishes into diabetes-friendly meals that the whole family can enjoy,” said Scripps endocrinologist Athena Philis-Tsimikas, M.D., who also is corporate vice president of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute. “In fact, a more diabetes-friendly menu can be healthier for the entire family.” Even if you don’t have diabetes, or if you’re trying to control your weight, these revised recipes can be healthier than the originals. As an added bonus, several of them take advantage of fresh, vitamin-rich seasonal fruits and vegetables.

1. Hot cereal

Warm your bones on a chilly morning with a bowl of hot, whole-grain cereal. While steel-cut oatmeal is always a good

choice, you might be surprised to find that whole grains traditionally served at lunch or dinner make tasty breakfast options as well – and the fiber helps keep you satisfied until lunch. Brown rice, for example, can be delicious topped with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a splash of low-fat milk. Another good alternative is quinoa, which is high in protein as well as fiber. Lesser-known grains such as farro, bulgur, barley and polenta can make excellent breakfast options too, so mix it up for variety. Add protein with Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, almonds or walnuts, and toss in apple slices, berries, dried fruit or cinnamon for more flavor and crunch.

2. Mashed sweet potatoes

Mashed potatoes are one of the most popular comfort foods for people of all ages. As potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, they will cause a person’s blood sugar to rise quickly. Kelly Barger, a registered dietitian at the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute, says, “When choosing the type of potato to mash, the sweet potato provides the most powerful nutritional punch while providing more fiber and less calories, and they have a slightly lower glycemic index.” For this reason, blood sugar may rise a little more gradually with sweet potatoes than with white potatoes. Plus, they’re more flavorful than white

potatoes, so you can skip the butter and sour cream. Try mashing them with just a little olive oil to add flavor. Sweet potatoes can also step in for white in other comfort foods like baked potatoes and potato pancakes.

3. Spaghetti squash

A steaming pot of pasta warms up the whole kitchen, but the simple carbohydrates in white pasta can add up fast. Instead of regular wheat spaghetti, substitute spaghetti squash. When cooked, this flavorful winter squash separates into long orange strands that mimic pasta, but without the high carbohydrate count: a cup of spaghetti squash has just 10 grams or so of carbs. Bake or steam the squash until cooked, then scoop out the insides and top with your favorite sauce for a filling lunch or dinner. Keep in mind that tomato-based sauces like marinara tend to be lower in fat and calories than creamy or cheese-based choices.

4. Roasted vegetables

This is the peak season for a colorful variety of low-glycemic vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and garlic. Roasting them is one of the best ways to bring out the flavor. Toss or spray lightly with a little olive oil, spread them out on a baking sheet and roast until crispy on the outside and tender

inside. Season as needed. You can also add a few pieces of squash or sweet potato, but take into account the higher carbs.

5. Baked apples

From traditional varieties like Red Delicious and Granny Smith to newer favorites such as Honeycrisp and Pink Lady, apples offer more variety than ever. “Apples are a fruit, so they do have sugar,” Tsimikas said. “But the high fiber helps keep blood sugar levels steady.” Try baking apples whole or sliced for an easy and satisfying dessert or snack that provides sweetness without added sugar. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Keeping your pets safe this holiday season

METROCREATIVE

With the bustling holiday season just around the corner, the San Diego Humane Society is reminding pet owners to consider their pets’ safety when decking the halls. Holiday decorations, seasonal plants and festive treats can sometimes be harmful for pets. To keep your pets safe and healthy this holiday season, San Diego Humane Society recommends keeping the following tips in mind: • Sharing all those holiday goodies with your favorite animal companion could be dangerous. Too much fatty or rich food can lead to digestive problems. Some foods, such as chocolate and onions, can be toxic. • Indulge your pets with a special pet food or treat in an enrichment toy or game, which will provide hours of entertainment while you entertain your guests. • Dangling tree ornaments seem like great toys to cats and dogs. Be sure dangerous ornaments such as glass and tinsel (which can be a choking hazard) are hung on high branches, out of the reach of little paws, and very well secured. Make sure any cords from lights are taped down or otherwise secured to prevent pets from chewing on them. • Keep an eye on items under the tree, too. Ribbons and bows can be a choking hazard, and any packages filled with edible gifts are likely to be discovered. • A number of holiday season plants are toxic or can cause digestive upset to pets if nibbled or eaten, including ivy, holly mistletoe, poinsettias and lilies. Be sure all of the plants are kept out of reach of pets.

• Our pets can get just as stressed with increased guests, noise and activity. Make sure your pet always has a quiet secure place to escape the commotion. • Pets thrive on routine. Increased activity or visitors during the holiday season can upset that routine. Try to keep your pet on his regular schedule for feeding and exercise and be sure the pet gets plenty of love and attention from you. • Guests coming in and out of your home will be at a peak, and this increases the potential for pets escaping through open doors. Keep your pets safely indoors and always make sure they’re wearing current ID tags and their microchip information is up to date, just in case. If your pet is not currently microchipped, San Diego Humane Society offers $15 microchips at its San Diego, Escondido and Oceanside campus locations. No appointment necessary, hours and locations can be found at tinyurl.com/SDHSmicrochip. Contact your local shelter immediately if your pet is missing. For those in the 92127 and 92128 ZIP codes (Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Carmel Mountain Ranch and Sabre Springs) call the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services’ shelter in Carlsbad at 760-438-2312. For those in Poway, call the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido campus at 760-888-2275. For other communities, see the chart at tinyurl.com/SDLostPets to help determine which shelter covers your area. — San Diego Humane Society

Holiday travel made easy: Is your family tech ready? (StatePoint) As families prepare for the holiday season, they also prepare to make big family trips, so make sure not to leave home without the proper tech reinforcements this year! These tips will ensure you can savor the sweet moments and avoid potential hiccups! Drive smarter. Hitting the road? Apps like Waze, a community-based traffic and navigation guide, offer immediate information and alternate routes that save time when everyone is heading out of town. Other apps, like GasBuddy, compare pricing for nearby gas stations so you can fuel up economically, making the drive convenient and worry-free. Beat boredom en route. Even in the air, there are ways to keep the family entertained. Inflight internet services, like Gogo, allow for texting and surfing the web, so kids can keep up with their Candy Crush game and mom and dad can hop online to research travel activities. Take connectivity to the next level by plugging into a portable charger to ensure all your devices are fully charged for the duration of your flight and after you land. Find your travel Zen. Ever been on a long train ride with an unhappy baby or snoring fellow rider? Drown out unwelcome disruptions by turning up the volume, and streaming unlimited music

from services like Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora with Music Freedom from T-Mobile. Pro tip: Noise-cancelling headphones help too! Seek out a comfortable pair designed to fit the unique contour of your ears – they are ideal for lengthy trips. Make the most of travel downtime. Dealing with a delay or adjusting to a different time zone? Use the unplanned time to catch up on your favorite shows. You can stream services like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube on your phone. Stay connected even when abroad. Google’s 2016 travel trends show that 85 percent of leisure travelers decide on activities to do from their mobile phone after they’ve arrived at their travel destination. You can avoid roaming charges while you wander out of the country with services like Simple Global from T-Mobile. It provides unlimited data and texting in more than 140 countries around the globe. For the 50 percent of Americans who regularly travel to Mexico or Canada, a travel offering that spans an entire continent, like Mobile Without Borders, will be welcome news. It ensures you can text and post photos of guacamole and poutine all day with no (data) consequences. SEE TRAVEL, B18

The centerpiece of your celebration, the ham or turkey, shouldn’t involve a ton of work or preparation. FROM HOLIDAY, B11 responders.

DIY Drinks

All too often, hosts get bogged down fixing drinks for guests as they arrive. Avoid this conundrum by setting up a DIY drink station. You may consider making a signature drink in advance and serving it in a beverage dispenser or punch bowl, or giving guests a few cocktail

suggestions on a placard. Don’t forget the little ones. Set up a hot chocolate bar that includes marshmallows, peppermints and whipped cream topping options. Ask adults to help their children serve themselves. You don’t have to get sidelined in the kitchen at your holiday gathering in order to serve a home style feast. With a few smart strategies, you can be both the host of the party and the life of it.

Brown seeks permanent ban on offshore drilling CORONADO (CNS) - Gov. Jerry Brown, in Coronado for a two-day meeting with colleagues, called on President Barack Obama on Tuesday to permanently ban new oil and gas drilling in the waters off California. The letter to the president was one of three environmental actions announced by the governor at the beginning of the Western Governors Association meeting at the Hotel del Coronado. Brown requested that Obama invoke his authority under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to permanently remove federal waters off the coast of California from new oil and gas leasing, and guarantee that future oil and gas drilling in those waters are prohibited. “Clearly, large new oil and gas reserves would be inconsistent with our overriding imperative to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat the

Gov. Jerry Brown devastating impacts of climate change,'' Brown wrote. “Now is the time to make permanent the protection of our ocean waters and beaches from new oil and gas drilling.” Separately, the governor signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell to coordinate the environmental review of potential renewable energy projects in the ocean, such as offshore wind and wave

energy. The deal would also have state and federal officials identify offshore areas for potential projects and update permitting guidance for the projects. Brown also helped launch an international partnership aimed at protecting coastal communities and economies from the threat of rising ocean acidity. According to the governor's office, oceans have become 30 percent more acidic since scientists began taking measurements, and the average acidity of the surface ocean is projected to double over pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. The ocean absorbs one-third of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, harming sea creatures, marine fisheries and coral reefs. The states of Oregon and Washington, along with the governments of Chile and France, joined the partnership.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

‘Geeducken’ for Christmas

ike so many people, I frequently find life simultaneously taking me in 47 directions. This makes it challenging to synchronize servicing clients, hustling new business, eating, spending quality family time and walking the dog. To accommodate multiple overlapping deadlines, writing my columns gets squeezed in as time permits. Oftentimes they’re done weeks in advance. To maintain quality, I submit each column to three professional editors before anyone else sees them. These three voluntarily tell me what works and what failed. I take their comments seriously and rewrite accordingly. For 10 years this system’s worked well. Every holiday season I send each editor a book, tchotchke, or gift card to say “Thanks!” This year I offered all three a choice; a Starbucks card or a contribution in their name to Heifer International. To their credit, each elected the charitable donation over personal gratification. Heifer, you’ll recall, improves the world’s poorest lives with reliable food sources, livestock, and agricultural training. They arrange for indigent families to get stoves or farm animals. Donors can contribute shares of cows or goats. In 2015 I donated a hive of bees to an African family. It gave something to those most in need and I benefitted knowing I’d

helped heal the world. Per my editors’ instructions, this year I’m buying one flock each of geese, ducks and chickens to help this worthy cause. My twisted sense of wordplay immediately jumped to “Turducken,” the Frankenfood combination of turkey, duck and chicken sometimes seen on holiday tables. This quickly evolved into “Geeducken”. It’s now my shorthand for “I’ve got plenty, and must share with those less-fortunate.” My friend Joe Milana observed my future includes tax cuts and less regulation on my business. “Geeducken” reminds me to donate a portion of that increased income to charity. I figure someone with a full belly will start a new business and need marketing services. That’s where I’ll get my payoff. You, too, may find profit in Mr. Trump’s economic strategies. Contributing to charity now will have the long-term payoff of generating new prospective customers for your business. Meaning those of us already fed and housed must prime the pump for those who aren’t. So I’m encouraging you to donate to Heifer, the food bank or your religious community today. It’ll grow your profitability tomorrow. With that said, my family and I wish you a happy holiday season.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Rancho Bernardo presented a $5,000 check to Shelter to Soldier.

Coldwell Banker committed to helping vets The Rancho Bernardo Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office has presented a $5,000 check to Shelter to Soldier, a local nonprofit organization that rescues dogs from an otherwise uncertain future in local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and/or other injuries associated with traumatic service experiences. The money was raised at the 10th Annual Coldwell Banker Charity Golf Event was recently held at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo. “San Diego County houses a lot of military families, and we are always looking for

opportunities to support them,” said Jamie Duran, president of the Orange County, San Diego, and Desert Companies of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “This organization does double the good by helping our military community and rescuing dogs from shelters. We are more than happy to support Shelter to Soldier.” This year, the event raised more than $50,000. From the funds raised, 10 percent, $5,000, was donated directly to Shelter to Soldier while the remaining net proceeds were presented to the Coldwell Banker Community Foundation, which distributes 100 percent of their charitable funds to a variety of organizations throughout the year.

Mixed news on November home sales in region (CNS) - Resale home sales in the county this year took a dive in November, but were significantly higher when compared to the same month last year, according to a report released by the San Diego Association of Realtors. Single-family home sales last month were down month-over-month by 10 percent, but were up 19 percent from November of 2015, the report said. Condominium and townhouse sales were down 13 percent from October, but posted an increase of 16 percent from a year ago. The year-to-date 2016 numbers show resale homes were closing escrow at a pace similar to 2015. The report also showed that median home prices for single-family homes, condos and

townhouses dipped 3 percent in November compared to October. But compared with November of last year, single-family homes were 6 percent higher and condo and townhomes were 9 percent higher. The region's homes were on the market an average of 33 days before close escrow last month, compared to 39 days in November 2015. “Mortgage rates are on an upward trend, while the inventory of homes for sale has dipped dramatically in the San Diego region,” said Cory Shepard, SDAR president. “Along with affordability, those are factors that keep our housing market from shaking loose.”
