A golden celebration for Rotary Club of RB BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK For a half-century, Rancho Bernardo Rotarians have been living their motto of “Service Above Self.” More than 100 Rotarians and their friends gathered on Dec. 4 to celebrate the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo’s 50th anniversary with a party at Maderas Golf Club in Poway. “I thought the event was awesome, an opportunity to reflect on the (club’s) history and set the stage for the future,” said President Don Glover. The club has 60 members and is poised to gain four more by year’s end, he said. “We’re on an upswing ... doing very well. This is a very excellent club.” Glover said this year the group — dubbed the ‘Noon’ club after the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club formed out of it in 1988 when membership neared 150 — has contributed $41,300 in grants and other support to various community
and international endeavors. “There’s $20,000 more (to give) in the pipeline,” he added. “Our club is (on) pace to contribute, over its 50 years, nearly $525,000,” Glover said. The money donated and raised by Rotarians has gone to a multitude of causes, including fire fighting, health care, disaster relief, senior citizens, education, law enforcement, youth and improving the quality of life for people around the world. One of the club’s main causes is a key project of Rotary International — eradicating polio, which it has nearly accomplished worldwide. In 2009, some RB Rotarians traveled to India to help distribute polio vaccines to children. Other international endeavors the local club has supported include the Honduran Village Bank Project and buying goats for Honduran families, sending $4,500 worth of medical supplies to help children in war-torn Bosnia, giving $1,000 to a Rotary Club in Mexico to fund eye surgeries for needy children, purchasing 48 wheelchairs for
disabled people in Malawi for $3,600, and funding five village micro credit projects in Ecuador to help women in the poorest communities establish and expand their cottage industries. In 1988, the club started a student exchange program with a Rotary club in Holland. By 1994, 20 Dutch students had visited San Diego and a dozen local students to went to the Netherlands. It also sponsors the annual Youth Orchestra Music Camp that has 40 youths from foreign countries join young musicians from across the U.S. for a performance in San Diego. Locally the club has been very active since its start, with a lot of the money for project sponsorships coming through the club’s foundation, established in 1978. A few examples are sponsoring Boy Scout Troop 680 and Cub Scout Pack 680 for decades, purchasing a mobile van for the American Red Cross, sponsoring and staffing a flu shot clinic for senior citizens, purchasing a used car for SEE ROTARY, Page A5

A new era in Poway Unified School District leadership began Monday night with the swearing in of three newly-elected board members. Michelle O’Connor-Ratclif f, Charles Sellers and T.J. Zane took the oath of office administered by district Supt. John Collins in front of a room full of district employees, family members, high school students and interested members of the public. The trio, all Rancho Penasquitos residents, were elected Nov. 4. They replaced retiring 20-year board member Penny Ranftle and ousted incumbents Todd Gutschow and Marc Davis. All three are Poway residents. The newcomers join 18-year board member Andy Patapow and Kimberley Beatty, who has served two years. Patapow lives in Poway while Beatty is a Sabre Springs resident.
The new composition of the board means that for the first time in the district’s history a majority of members of the school board reside outside of

Your grandson is in jail and needs bail money immediately. You didn’t pay your bill and SDG&E is minutes away from shutting off your electricity if you don’t pay right now. You owe the IRS money and you need to pay this instant. What do all these things have in common? They’re all scams and they’re more prevalent than ever right now. The scenarios of the scam may vary, but they are all the same at their core: you receive a phone call saying you owe money and you need to go put hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on Green Dot prepaid debit cards. When you receive a follow-up call, you’re instructed to read off the number of the card to “pay your bill.” Voila! You’ve just sent your money to a scammer and you will most likely never get it back. Some of the more popular scams being run over the phone are the grandson in jail, owing money to the IRS or SDG&E, and being told you need to pay a fine to the police for a crime or face arrest. The people running the scam often get basic information about you or your company off of Facebook and other social media, and use phone spoofing tricks to make their phone numbers come from

Asked Tuesday about his actions, Patapow said he nominated O’Connor-Ratcliff because she received the most votes in the election and placed first in every voting precinct. He said he opposed making Beatty the president because “I felt that Michelle would do a better job with the board.” Patapow added that he will be retiring from the board when his current term ends in 2016. In prepared remarks offered at the start of the meeting, Beatty extensively praised the three outgoing board members and said “the community has done well” by electing the new members, all of whom, she noted, SEE BOARD, Page A5

special area codes, set up legitimate-sounding voice mail messages, or use disposable phones so as not to be tracked by police if their victim reports their number. The scams target the most vulnerable of the population — the elderly and those for whom English isn’t a first language, said Darlene Duncan, the Poway Sheriff’s station’s crime prevention specialist. Anyone can get hit with a phone scam however, said Duncan. The most recently reported incident was from someone in law enforcement, who received a call saying that he had skipped jury duty and now had to pay his misdemeanor fine. “The victim never verified if it was real, just sent the money,” said Duncan. The most common scam to hit the elderly seems to be the grandson in jail scam, while small restaurants are hit by the SDG&E scam, where the caller claims their electric bill is overdue and someone is standing by to shut off their electricity if they don’t pay. Duncan said in the last couple of months, three ethnic restaurants in Poway had fallen for the scam, while a fourth didn’t after a timely visit by Duncan let them know about the scam. Another restaurant, a pizza place, told Duncan they had been called “incessantly” by scammers trying to get money. Duncan said it was possibly a misunderstanding

of how laws work in the U.S. and a lack of English skills that lead to some falling for the scam. “No legitimate organization, including the police, SDG&E or the IRS, is going to demand you load up money on Green Dot cards,” she said. “If you actually owe money to the IRS, they will send you a letter. They do not call.” The secret behind the success of the scams is urgency. “Scammers are convincing and compelling, but it’s nothing but scare tactics,” said Duncan. “Every single call has urgency attached, do it now.” Duncan said that potential victims should always think things through, no matter how convincing the caller is. “No matter what the pressure is, think it through. No organization will require you to run to the store and load up Green Dot cards.” Duncan said victims tend not to verify the legitimacy of the call until after they send the money. Others are told it is a scam, but send the money anyway out of fear. “One victim (of the IRS scam) actually called his CPA to ask if he owed taxes, was told no, but sent the money anyway,” said Duncan. Seniors are often victims of phone scams, because they inadvertently give out vital information. “Seniors are vulnerable because of their age and SEE SCAMS, Page A5

RB's Christmas tree and menorah to be lit Tuesday BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Everyone is invited to join Rancho Bernardo Business Association members as they light the community’s Christmas tree and menorah. The ninth annual ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16 at the Webb Park entrance, just north of US Bank, 16816 Bernardo Center Drive.

In addition to the visitor from the North Pole, other officials expected to be in attendance are City Councilman Mark Kersey, County Supervisor Dave Roberts, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein and Congressman Scott Peters. There will be a joint invocation given by Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein from Chabad

Ecumenical and secular musical entertainment will be provided by the Del Norte High School Choir and the Mensch Tones from Temple Adat Shalom. The lighting ceremony will conclude with oldfashioned, popular holiday tunes that attendees will be asked to join in singing. Following the free ceremony, there will be a reception in the bank.

the San Diego Police Department’s Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol and donating $25,000 toward construction of the Rancho Bernardo Library. It has also provided dictionaries to third graders and thesauruses to fourth graders at some Poway Unified campuses for many years, gave $31,500 for Fire Station No. 33 improvements, established the Healing Field to commemorate the local homes damaged or destroyed in the 2007 wildfire by planting 1,100 American flags — one for each home — in Rancho Bernardo Community Park, placed the Rotary Clock in Webb Park to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Rotary International, and participated in service projects as part of the annual Rotarians at Work Day. In 2003, it helped establish the only Rotary clubs on military bases, when it started clubs at Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar and Naval Base San Diego. The Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo officially met for the first time on Nov. 26, 1964, under the sponsorship of the Poway Rotary Club. The first meeting with 27 members in attendance was at the Palomar Lanes bowling alley in Escondido, according to a club history presented on Dec. 4 by Rotarian Marty Judge. Soon after the club found another meeting venue, the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Over the years it has met at
various locations, most recently the Bernardo Heights Country Club. In May 1987, the Supreme Court said Rotary International must admit women members — for decades it had been a menonly organization — and by that summer the RB club had recruited four women. Now, the club’s female membership is approaching 40 percent, Glover said, and several women have been club president. The first was Karen Stelman in 1995. The club’s president-elect is Arilla St.Laurent and Benita Page is set to follow her to the presidency in 2016, Glover said. The club has seen two members — Jack Mayo in 1992 and Mike Stelman in 2003 — become Rotary district governors, something Glover said is “fairly uncommon� for a local club. Former RB Rotary Club member — now a RB Sunrise Rotarian — Carl Kruse also attained the post in 2013. “We’ve got a lot of great people, camaraderie and care about ‘Service Above Self,’� Glover said. “It is amazing how many in this community have that same philosophy and want to express it.� The club meets in Bernardo Heights Country Club at noon each Thursday for a luncheon except on the second Thursday of each month when members gather for dinner.

SCAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
$2,000 in Green Dot cards when an employee at the store told her it was a scam. According to a police report she filed, when the scammers called back to get the money, “she read them the riot act,� said Duncan. “Reaching out to stores helped.� Even Green Dot cards themselves have a warning on them not to give the code out over the phone, because it’s a scam, but the fear can be too strong, said Duncan. “If a would-be victim hears the words “Green Dot,� hang up the phone and call the sheriff’s department, SDG&E or your family to confirm that everything is okay before sending money,� said Duncan. The San Diego County District Attorney recently sent out a scam alert about avoiding the IRS scam, which is a large-scale, nationwide scam. “Beware of callers claiming to be the Internal Revenue Service, telling individuals they owe taxes and must use a pre-paid card or wire transfer to pay immediately. Other threats by the fake IRS caller include ‘there is a warrant for your arrest’ and ‘the police are coming now to your residence.’� It advised calling the IRS at 800-829-1040 if you think you owe federal taxes, and reporting the incident to 800-366-4484. Complaints can also be filed at www.ftc.gov, with “IRS Telephone Scam� added to the comments with your complaint. The press release advised, “the IRS will never request personal or financial information by email, texting or any social media. You should forward scam emails to phishing@irs. gov. Don’t open any attachments or click any links in those emails.�
because of fear,� said Duncan. Senior victims often give their grandson’s name (the scam never says a granddaughter is in jail, said Duncan) when answering the phone, which scammers then use to give the call legitimacy. A second scammer then gets on the line, says they are a lawyer, and are in a courtroom with the grandson and need bail money sent immediately or their grandson will go to jail, usually for drunk driving. Scammers often tell victims what exact store to visit to get the Green Dot cards, which gives legitimacy that they are who they say they are. Victims are often told not to call and ask the grandson’s parents, as there is no time, or the grandson doesn’t want their parents to know about their arrest. Duncan said one couple lost $12,000 to this scam, and in October, two victims lost a total of $7,000 in two days to the same scam. “It seems so plausible at the time,� Duncan said about victims falling for the scam. “But once someone is arrested and booked into jail, the police aren’t going to ask you to load up a Green Dot card. You need to go to a bail bondsman.� Duncan said police have been reaching out to stores that sell Green Dot cards about the scams. Several businesses said they had store policies that employees should tell the customer about the scams when buying large quantities of Green Dot cards, which can hold up to $500 each and cost $4.95 each to activate. Duncan said she had been told by one of the companies that they had tried to warn one of the October victims, who didn’t believe them and sent the money anyway. Another victim was spared after buying

have children attending district schools. “To our community who wonders (or worries) about this transition, I want you to know that our roots are deep,� she said. “Our foundation is solid and the state of our district is strong.� Once settled into their seats, the new board members wasted little time establishing that they intend to pay close attention to the district’s business. A staff recommendation that the district begin the process of exploring what to do with two vacant district-owned parcels generated extensive discussion among the board members, with both Beatty and O’ConnorRatcliff saying they would be inclined to oppose the surplus land being sold. The properties include 10.48 acres near Westview High School and 11.23 acres near the new Design 39 Campus. District officials have suggested, as one of several possible options, that an anticipated $2 million shortfall in the 2015-16 budget could be closed through the sale of the properties. The point of Monday night’s recommendation, they said, was to begin exploring whether it’s in the district’s best interests to sell or lease the real estate. O’Connor-Rafcliff said she was concerned that proposed large residential development in the area might necessitate the eventual use of the Rancho Penasquitos property by the district. Sellers, a former member of the Rancho Penasquitos Planning Board, echoed her concerns. At Zane’s suggestion, the board eventually agreed to support the staff’s recommendation. Two routine “consent agenda� items were

pulled and thoroughly discussed by the board as well. The first item related to the re-appointment of the district’s representative on the district personnel commission. Sellers suggested that perhaps there should be an effort to recruit interested applicants from the public before naming someone to serve for four years beginning in the spring. The board then agreed with Beatty’s suggestion that an ad hoc board committee be appointed to develop a recruitment process. The matter will back on the Jan. 20 board meeting for further discussion. The other pulled consent agenda item involved a staff recommendation to terminate a contract with a charter bus company providing after-school event transportation for its alleged repeated failures to comply with conditions of the contract. Board deliberations on the matter included hearing repeatedly from an attorney representing the company, who asked for more time to respond to the staff allegations, and from the district’s transportation director. At one point during the protracted discussions Collins turned to Beatty and asked “Are you willing to trust your team?� Again at Zane’s suggestion, the board eventually voted to support the staff’s recommendations. The new board will meet next on the morning of Monday, Jan. 5. Beatty proposed the meeting, saying she’d like to have a series of “talking sessions� where the board can meet key district employees, work on developing a board handbook on procedures and protocols and begin “crafting a strategic vision� for the district extending out to perhaps 2030.

Business Can an advertisment Smykowski offers living trust services ever be too appealing? BY EMILY SORENSEN
I
’ve written before about how newspapers are primarily geared towards those over 50. As a newspaper columnist, I naturally find the situation deplorable. If only there was a way to get teenagers to pay attention to print. After all, without readers advertisers naturally disappear. Without advertisers, newspapers vanish. So I was delighted during a recent college visit to see my daughter’s school publishes a daily paper with news appealing to their audience. But is some of the newspaper too appealing? Display adASK MR. MARKETING vertising on the back (sports) page tout lap dancing at local establishments. “Age 18+ Welcome” they announce. One might question the participants of these enterprises, but lap dancing is a legitimate business. As a marketing consultant, I’d naturally suggest alternative audiences for expanding their revenues. Nearby college students are a logical target. Furthermore, positioning ads on the sports page targets primarily males while ensuring all readers quickly see the ads. Offering a discount with a college ID is also a smart move. Hence my dilemma. Raising a daughter has stripped me of my libertine ways. Recognizing the lustful thoughts of teenage boys, I seek more wholesome activities for me and mine. Lap dancing doesn’t make it onto my radar. A recent study showed freshman women have a 20 percent chance of being attacked on campus. My daughter’s black belt notwithstanding, this statistic gives me pause. I’d like to believe 18-year-old boys can see women gyrating on their laps, leaving them frustrated and/or aroused, and think nothing more of it. I’d also like to believe in Santa Claus. I don’t really see either happening. I’m realistic enough to recognize the campus newspaper needs the advertising dollars, and the “club” needs the newspaper. It’s the most efficient way to reach this audience. And I’d never suggest censorship, which is far too slippery a slope at the best of times. With our society increasingly polarized, it’s a can of worms even the father of a daughter won’t open. Which leaves me with…nothing. I get everyone’s perspective. It’s a legitimate business. Their marketing makes perfect sense. Nobody holds a gun to anyone’s head forcing them to go for a lap dance. I get it. I just wish things were somehow different. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Mr. Marketing writes about all kinds of businesses and marketing issues. Ask your questions at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Have a living trust? If not, you most likely need one, and Robert Smykowski of the Law Of fices of Rober t A. Smykowski can help you prepare one. “Ever y homeowner needs a living trust,” said Smykowski, who has been practicing law for 32 years, and only deals in living trusts.. “If a person doesn’t own a home, but has assets, like a bank account, they should also have a trust. A living trust is an arrangement under which one person, called a trustee, holds legal title to property for another person, called a beneficiary. There’s many reasons to get a living trust, said Smykowski, but some of the primary reasons are to avoid probate upon your death, to avoid conservatorships if you become incapacitated, making sure your children don’t become wards of the state if you were to die, and allowing you to leave your assets to certain people and have them be distributed however you like, such as in increments. Some people think that all they need is a will, said Smykowski, which isn’t the case. Others try to handle distribution of assets by putting their children on their bank accounts or house titles, something that can have dire consequences. “It’s a big mistake,” he said. “When you
Robert Smykowski put a child on a title, you put yourself at risk for your child’s liabilities.” Smykowski has lived in Poway for 30 years and has four children who went through the Poway Unified School District. His eldest daughter, who trained with him, recently opened her own law office in Walnut Creek. His son is finishing his first semester of law school, and will eventually take over the practice from Smykowski. Skykowski earned a degree in engineering before going back to law school.
He said he decided to go into living trusts because he liked problem solving, and wasn’t interested in litigation. “(Living trusts) involve taxation, which I like,” said Smykowski. “It’s about solving problems for clients. It’s a nice area of law that is about transactions. I meet nice people, sit in my office and go home. Some people like litigation, but not me.” Setting up a living trust is a twomeeting process. For the first meeting, Smykowski meets with the client, asking them questions about what it is they’re trying to accomplish with their living trust, and explaining what a living trust is and how it works. After he drafts a version of the trust, he and clients meet again to go over it, make any changes, and sign it. Smykowski charges $495 for a living trust. “It’s probably the best price in town that I know of,” he said. Smykowski is available from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with flexible scheduling available depending on the client’s needs. His office is at 16776 Bernardo Center Drive, Suite #203 in Rancho Bernardo. To find out more about living trusts, or to set up an appointment to get your own living trust, call 858-484-0264, contact bobsmycal@aol.com, or visit livingtrustplan.com.

Looking for an affordable way to visit France? North San Diego Business Chamber might have just the ticket. The chamber’s third organized overseas trip will be to France and the French Riviera, scheduled for March 24 to April 1, 2015. An informational meeting about the trip’s itinerary, cost and other details will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16 in the chamber’s office, 10875 Rancho Bernardo Road, Suite 104 in Rancho Bernardo. Travelers, potentially limited to a group of up to 50, will fly out of San Diego and arrive in Cannes on France’s Mediterranean coast. The group will also visit Antibes, Sophia Antipolis and have many optional excursions. Those who would also like to visit Paris for two days can have that option added to the end of the trip. The eight-day trip includes touring Cannes; the Palais del Festivals; La Croisiette; town of Le Suquet with its medieval streets and Renaissance houses; Antibes; the world Internet headquarters Sophia Antipolis; and Grasse, center of the French perfume industry, dubbed “the world’s perfume capital.” The optional excursions are to St. Paul-de-Vence, a medieval-looking village; Monaco, an independent principality known for its casino and international social life, contained within an area of less than one square mile; Villefrance; and the St. Tropez wine region. The trip costs $2,999 per person for a dou-
ble occupancy, though those who place a deposit by Dec. 31 will receive a $100 discount. The cost includes round-trip airfare from San Diego, first class hotel accommodations, daily breakfast and one dinner, professional tour escort, baggage handling and transfers, local taxes and service charges. The optional trips cost 90 euros each and the Paris post-tour is an additional $599. Debra Rosen, NSDBC president and CEO, said the chamber’s trips to China in 2012 and Spain earlier this year have been popular because they make traveling overseas so affordable. They attracted 53 and 60 attendees, respectively. “It is because airfare alone can be almost 70 percent (of the cost) if they go on their own,” Rosen said. “It is really a very economical way to see different parts of the world without spending a lot of money. Everything we do is first class.” There is a business-oriented component to part of the trip — there are efforts underway to meet with French government and business leaders through the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce — but those are optional and Rosen said the previous trips had a 50/50 split between chamber members and local residents. “The neat thing is the trips give an opportunity to be immersed in the culture and experiences of a different country,” she said. “It is so different — their food, culture and way business is done.” For details, call the chamber at 858-4871767.
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK If you are planning to mail holiday packages and cards, head over to the post office within the next couple days to avoid the rush. Postal officials announced that Monday will be the busiest mailing day for cards, letters and packages. The busiest delivery day for cards and letters will be Wednesday and the busiest delivery day for packages will be next Thursday. The mail-by dates for domestic mail to arrive by Christmas Eve is Monday for Standard Post (previously called Parcel Post), Dec. 20 for First-Class and Priority Mail, and Dec. 23 for Priority Mail Express (previously Express Mail). Officials are projecting that 15.5 billion cards, letters and packages will be delivered from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, up from last year’s 14.7 billion pieces due to an increase in advertising mail and package volume. The majority will be between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, with 12.7 billion cards, letters and packages delivered. On average, the Postal Service processes 523 million pieces of mail every day, but during the holidays anticipate it will increase to 553 million pieces. On Monday it is projected to peak at 640 million pieces. So what is the best way to make sure your packages arrive intact? U.S. Postal Service Spokeswoman Eva Jackson advises using a sturdy box. “Don’t use Scotch tape, but packaging tape,” she said. “Make sure there is enough room to
put cushioning all around the item. “Use the correct address and a return address, and also put it inside the box in case it gets opened or due to bad weather the ink smears,” Jackson said. The Postal Service recommends printing addresses clearly and in capital letters, going to www.usps.com to obtain the correct ZIP Code and writing “fragile” on boxes that need to be handled with extra care. “If you’re one of those people who late at night packs pres-
ents and you run out of bubble wrap or (Styrofoam) peanuts, pop some air popcorn, but do not add butter or salt. It makes a great, all-natural (packing cushion option),” she said, adding the recipient might want to eat the popcorn or string it together to decorate their Christmas tree. When mailing battery-operated toys, Jackson said it is important to remove the batteries from the toy, but be sure to place them in a bag and add to the box. “If you don’t separate them, during shipment toys can turn on,” Jackson said. “When a package starts moving, bouncing or humming it makes us nervous. You want to make sure your grandchild gets the toy and not the bomb squad.” For those mailing pictures in a glass frame, Jackson advises removing the glass and wrapping it separately from the photograph since if the glass breaks it can destroy the photo. She also advises making an X on the glass with painter’s tape. It can be easily removed without leaving a sticky residue and if the glass does crack or break, helps it remain in several large pieces instead of a multitude of tiny ones. Jackson said one way to easily estimate shipping costs for packages up to 70 pounds is to use the free Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging available at post offices or by ordering through the Postal Service and getting delivered for free to your home or business. Regular Priority Mail boxes are also available for free, but they must be weighed to determine SEE MAIL, Page B6

Ask the 2014
I AM CONSIDERING SELLING MY HOME. WHAT SHOULD BE MY FIRST STEP? If you are considering selling your home, it is a good idea to get ahead of the late spring and summer inventory. January and February are very desirable months to sell your home, as people are beginning to unwind from the holidays and think about the year ahead. The ďŹ rst step is sitting down with a few top realtors to discuss how they will market your home and review statistics that will help provide you a target price for selling your home. Make sure to choose an agent that is experienced in the area where you live and one that provides data to determine a realistic sales price. Be sure they have recent sales history and local data to back up your asking price. The agent you choose will be someone you will be working with very closely to sell one of your largest assets, so it is very important to choose a respected Realtor you know is honest and will work hard on the common goal of selling your home. Be sure to ask the agent for testimonials from past clients as well as their list of recent sales. A good agent will work diligently to get you top dollar for your home and make the process as stress-free as possible while working hard to meet your timeframes and moving dates.
Along with providing data from comparable sales in your area, the agent should also cover how they will market your home and make suggestions on preparing your home for sale. Make sure your agent uses all the latest technological tools to expose your home to as many potential buyers as possible. Twilight photos and virtual tours are important as well as targeting buyers looking for a home in your price range with the amenities your home offers. When your home is on the market, your agent should share feedback with you from all showings. They should also share all marketing strategies with you and the results of the marketing. Choosing the right agent is the most important step when selling. If you are considering selling your home, Karen Pado provides a conďŹ dential, free market analysis to help you make an informed decision about selling.

Paul Craig Parker 1963 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2014 Beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, Paul Craig Parker, born October 16, 1963, in England, passed away unexpectedly on December 2, 2014. After moving to America in 1977 and graduating from PaciďŹ c Grove High School in California, Paul began his journey of lifelong entrepreneurship. At the age of 18, he opened his ďŹ rst bakery in Cannery Row, Monterey, which he successfully sold a few years later. Paul then pursued his love of aviation and became a certiďŹ ed ďŹ&#x201A;ight instructor working out of Carmel, CA. On a trip to Kenya in 1986, Paul met the love of his life, Anne-Marie. Three years later they married and had their ďŹ rst son, James, in Surrey, England. In 1993, they moved permanently to Rancho Bernardo in San Diego, CA, where they have lived ever since. In 1996 their second son, Andrew, was born. Over
the years Paul has owned and operated a number of local businesses and found much joy in photography, surďŹ ng, friends, and most importantly spending time with his family. Paul was a loving son, an incredible father to his children and a devoted, wonderful husband. He was the life of the party, made everyone smile with his quick witted sense of humor, and deďŹ ned what it means to be good. He had a heart full of love and made a lasting impression on anyone who met him. He will be missed dearly. Paul is survived by his wife, Anne-Marie; two sons, James and Andrew; mother and stepfather, Alexandra and David Collett; and sister, Lisa Parker. Graveside services were held on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, at 10 am at El Camino Memorial Park, Sorrento Valley. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ pomeradonews.

EDITORIAL
Help your community by shopping locally
T
he long-anticipated official opening this week of the new Lowe’s home improvement store in Poway presents a timely reminder of the importance of shopping locally. Keeping sales tax dollars in our town is something we’ve been harping on for years. The reason is simple: sales taxes make up a large portion of revenues received by cities and are spent on providing essential services such as fire and police protection, parks and road maintenance. We encourage our readers to do as much of their holiday shopping as possible at businesses in town, whether they are the large “big box” retail outlets or at the many smaller locally owned retail stores. As your community newspaper, we have a special place in our heart for the “mom-and-pop” stores which depend heavily on post-Thanksgiving sales to keep their businesses going. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there were nearly 28 million small businesses in the United States last year. Over the past two decades, they created 65 percent of net new jobs. For every $100 spent in locally owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures, according to the smallbusiness advocacy group The 3/50 Project. That money goes elsewhere when purchases are made online or at out-of-town stores. Some have argued that our local businesses sometimes lack variety of products and good value for the dollar. We disagree on both counts and we question whether those comments are based on recent consumer research or outdated impressions. Our position is that our local stores usually meet or exceed the expectations of their customers in terms of both price and selection. When planning where to spend your dollars, make a business here in town your first choice. You’ll find many of them advertising this week in our newspaper.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sky-high airfares Why is it illegal to raise the price of plywood before a hurricane but it is perfectly legal for airlines to triple the price of a ticket during times when people most need to travel? The current economics in America requires families to move further from their hometowns and separate from their families in order to find jobs to support their growing families. This is also a time of year for families to spend time together and reconnect. Is this a case of supply and demand or a case of price gouging and taking unfair advantage of people’s inherent desire to be with family during this special time of year? Why are airlines exempt from so many laws that make fair trade possible?

Native Americans missing I read Jessica Wakefield’s Dec. 4 letter regarding PUSD’s Thanksgiving guidelines. I have a child in kindergarten and the way Thanksgiving was celebrated this year was different from past years — the Native Americans were missing. The district’s response to this was vague and inaccurate. They get away with sneaking changes into our school district
by claiming it’s not school policy. Yet all the teachers and principals I spoke with were given simple instructions —no Native American costumes. I spoke with PUSD representative Kimberlie Rens and she not only explained that the guidelines for Thanksgiving have changed, but explained the process of changing them. A group of three parents and two teachers were appointed to reconstruct Thanksgiving and remove traditional Native American costumes from celebrations. Rens explained that some Native Americans take offense to children making construction paper costumes. She added that Native American costumes are permitted on Halloween, just not Thanksgiving. My cultural background is Christian. My children attended Christian preschools and created many construction paper crosses. I can think of far worse ways to desecrate a culture than children’s creativity celebrating traditions. Is this cultural sensitivity or our tax dollars paying for overthinking? I’m realizing that PUSD’s stellar reputation is based on its awesome teachers and parent involvement. Not the leaders of the district. Let’s not forget that this is the same district that deceived our community with a billion dollar bond. Hopefully the new board will bring new leadership to our community.

Reforming immigration policy Something needs to be done about campaign financing should be at top of the list
M
Dick Lyles GET REAL greater the risk that our entire economic system will implode and the more our country will suffer. There are plenty of simple models out there. Let’s adopt one, resolve to fix this once and for all, and move our country forward. We need fundamental, structural reform in the way we think about, assess and collect taxes in America and we need it now. And finally, America needs a major change in attitude. We need to re-instill the values of compassion, charity and collaboration to our national psyche. Yes, there remain a few racists, bigots and chauvinists among people of every race, ethnicity and gender. But we should not allow these deviants to define us as a nation. Those people are on the fringe, not in positions of leadership. It takes courage to abandon and call a halt to the false narrative of racism, chauvinism and bigotry. Let’s stop the hate, starting with ourselves. Each of us should demonstrate our understanding and commitment to this ideal. Substantial evidence exists to demonstrate that as a society we are committed to the elimination of bigotry and racism in every form. Now is the time for us all to act in accordance with our beliefs. We don’t need to solve every problem America faces during the next two years. But let’s at least show enough resolve to solve one or two of the most urgent ones. Then we can move on to the next most urgent priorities and then the next. Then once again we’ll have leadership we can trust respect and we’ll restore our national pride as a caring nation that nurtures achievement. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a business/ management consultant and best-selling author. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews.com, are encouraged.

omething remarkable has occurred. I don’t know if it is a sign of the season or a heralding of the apocalypse. I am in agreement with Dick on all three of his suggested priorities. I can only elaborate and add one of my own. I agree with everything Dick said about reforming our immigration policies using compassionate common sense. I also agree that tax code is too complicated. However, because it’s not mathematically possible to cut $18 trillion in tax loopholes, more reform than what Dick suggests is needed. If you want to better understand why we have the deficit we do consider these sobering statistics: • In 1952, the corporate income tax accounted for 33 percent of all federal tax revenue. Today, despite record-breaking profits, corporate taxes bring in less than 9 percent. • In the 1950s and 1960s, when the economy was booming, the wealthiest Americans paid a top income tax rate of 91%. Today, the top rate is 43.4%. • The richest 1% pay an effective federal income tax rate of 24.7 in 2014. Because economic inequity in the U.S. is already at an all-time high and inequity is only worsened by tax cuts for the wealthy, the tax code must be amended so that the wealthiest individuals and corporations, not the middle class, pay more taxes. Otherwise, corporations and the wealthy will use their lobbying power to take unfair advantage of the many loopholes in the tax code and stick the rest of us with the tab. In contrast to Dick, I believe, that the single most important issue that needs to be addressed in the year ahead is campaign finance reform. Due to the influence of money on politics, those we elect to public office are responsive to the needs of the rich and powerful rather than to the needs of the average American. Because big corporations are openly gaming the system, change will likely require grass roots action beginning with counteracting or reversing the effects of Citizens United. The 2012 Supreme Court decision is a textbook example of judicial activism in that it determined that “money is speech” and corporations are “persons”
Amy Roost AU CONTRAIRE with free speech rights. While I view suspiciously any restrictions on the First Amendment, Americans’ right to free speech should not be proportionate to the size of their bank account. Also, we need a grass roots push for public financing of campaigns. Other democracies use it to good effect, why not the U.S.? Certain types of small private donations governed by disclosure rules with teeth would be matched by government donations. Television and radio air time for political campaign ads would be affordable if not free, to all candidates, and campaign materials and postage could be subsidized by the government. Change is only possible if united citizens demand with one strong voice that our representatives and their votes not be auctioned to the highest bidder. I agree that Americans need to demonstrate more love, charity, and collaboration. We need fewer talkers and pointers and more disciples. We need Congress and the President to work together in the knowledge that whatever they do for the least of their constituents they do for themselves, and for whatever god they may serve. If Dick and I can agree on national priorities, surely we can all try harder to practice these values if only for this moment and then the next and the next. A former Poway resident, Roost now lives in Encinitas. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews. com, are encouraged.

any people believe that challenging circumstances create good leaders. Nothing could be further from the truth. No one can argue that America’s circumstances today aren’t challenging. Our culture is challenged by increasing divisiveness, schools are challenged by steadily declining performance, families are challenged both economically and culturally and our businesses are facing unprecedented challenges from government interference and global competition. These challenges have not produced an abundance of leaders who are taking our country in the right direction. Recent polls show anywhere from two thirds to three fourths of Americans lack confidence in our leadership and believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Circumstances don’t create leaders. Leaders emerge when individuals respond courageously to challenging circumstances. We should ask, “Are our elected representatives responding appropriately to today’s circumstances?” “Are they solving the problems they were elected to solve?” Then we should assess their leadership performance not as much by the nature of the challenges they face, but more by the character and effectiveness of their response to these problems. In that context, here are the three most important national priorities for 2015, to be resolved before the next election cycle. We need to reform our immigration policies using compassionate common sense. This means both left and right should abandon rhetoric and develop policies everyone knows are needed and that will work. For example, the left needs to agree that our borders should be secure and the right needs to agree on a pathway to citizenship for those already here. Let’s stop the posturing, work together, and solve the problem. Equally important, we need to reform our absurd, outdated, overly-complex, national tax code. It is an insult to every American and we all know it. Shut out the lobbyists, get rid of all the loopholes and perks, and come up with something simple. It is not that hard, it just takes guts — and leadership. The longer we wait, the

Convenient ways to get help with your Social Security questions Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some easier ways that I can get help with my Social Security questions? When I call their toll-free help line I get put on hold forever, and the wait time at my local Social Security office is over two hours. Approaching 62 Dear Approaching, It’s unfortunate, but the past few years the Social Security Administration has made some major budget and staff cuts that have greatly increased their phone service and field office wait times for their customers. With that said, here’s an alternative option and some tips that can help make your access to Social Security a little faster and easier. Online services With the evolution of the Social Security website, the quickest and most convenient way to work with Social Security these days is to do it yourself online. Depending on what you need, most tasks can be done at SocialSecurity.gov like getting your Social Security statement, estimating your

See a complete list of what you can do online at ssa.gov/onlineservices. You can also get information and answers to most of your Social Security questions at faq.ssa.gov if you’re patient enough to read through the information yourself. But, if you need more help than their website offers, you can always call Social Security’s toll-free service line at 800-7721213 Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and ask your question over the phone, or make a scheduled appointment with your local field office.

Need advice? If you’re seeking advice on when you should start taking your Social Security benefits, you need to know that while Social Security employees do provide information on how the system works under different circumstances, they aren’t allowed to give case-specific advice on when you should start drawing your benefits. If you want help with this, you’ll need to turn to some of the free or fee-based Social Security tools that are available online through private financial service companies or AARP. Depending on the service, these tools take into account the different rules and claiming strategies that can affect your benefits, and some of them can crunch hundreds of calculations to compare your benefits under various scenarios and different ages to help you figure out the best time to start claiming. Some of the best free tools are AARP’s

Social Security Calculator (aarp.org/ socialsecuritybenefits); SSAnalyze which is offered by Bedrock Capital Management (bedrockcapital.com/ssanalyze); and Analyze Now (analyzenow.com – click on “Computer Programs”) which offers a “Free Strategic Social Security Planner” but requires Microsoft Excel to use it. Or, if you don’t mind spending a little money, there are higher-level services you can use like Maximize My Social Security (maximizemysocialsecurity.com), which charges $40 for their report, and takes into account the thousands of different factors and combinations to help you maximize your benefits. And Social Security Solutions (socialsecuritysolutions.com, 866-762-7526), which offers several levels of service (ranging between $20 and $250) including their $125 “Advised” plan that runs multiple calculations and comparisons, recommends a best course of action in a detailed report, and gives you a one-on-one session with a Social Security specialist over the phone to discuss the report and ask questions.

Entertainment MohaviSoul to perform Saturday at Poway Library BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Library will be going bluegrass this Saturday at 2 p.m. with a concert by MohaviSoul. The concert, part of the San Diego County Library’s award-winning Acoustic Showcase concert series, is free and open to the public. MohaviSoul is a San Diego-based, fivemember bluegrass band with roots in folk and Americana. It is made up of Mark Miller on guitar and lead vocals; Randy Hanson on mandolin; Orion Boucher on bass; Jason Weiss on banjo and Dan Sankey on fiddle. “If you talk to traditional bluegrass (performers), they’ll say we’re not bluegrass,” said Hanson. “We play contemporary bluegrass with a twist of Americana, folk and soul.” MohaviSoul formed in 2012, and has released two albums, “Every Second” in January 2013 and “Blue Diesel” in December 2013. Hanson said the group is getting ready
to work on its third album. “It’s a blessing to play with such great people,” said Hanson. Each member of the group brings something unique to the band’s musical stylings. “We have a wide variety of musical influences and styles,” said Hanson. “It’s a neat mix.” Miller, in addition to playing guitar and performing lead vocals, is also one of the group’s principal songwriters, along with Hanson. Born in West Virginia, Miller has been performing in bands since he was in high school, and released a solo album, “Lonesome Now,” prior to forming MohaviSoul. Hanson has been performing bluegrass, country and folk music for over 30 years with a number of groups, including the Bluegrass Pelicans and The Vigilante Band, a group in New Mexico that Hanson described as “kind of a cult thing.” When he’s not making music, Hanson is a scientist. “I love making music and playing with a group. It’s a great way to SEE CONCERT, Page B22

'White Christmas' coming to SD Musical Theatre BY EMILY SORENSEN San Diego will be celebrating with a “White Christmas.” “Ir ving Berlin’s White Christmas” is being performed by the San Diego Musical Theatre, opening Thursday, Dec. 11 and running through Sunday, Dec. 21 at the North Park Theatre, 2891 University Avenue in San Diego. The show is a musical performance based off the classic movie, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, said show director Todd Nielson. Featuring 17 Irving Berlin musical numbers, the musical debuted on Broadway 10 years ago. This will be the third year that San Diego Musical Theatre will produce “White Christmas.” “It’s fast becoming a new San Diego holiday tradition,” said Nielson. “It’s a great time of year to bring our (acting) family together, and bring (the show) to San Diego. It’s kind of like our holiday Christmas card to San Diego.” Nielson originally directed the show several years ago in Thousand Oaks, where it was spotted and brought to the San Diego Musical Theatre. White Christmas stars Todd DuBail as Bob Wallace, Allison Spratt Pierce as Betty Haynes, Jeffrey Scott Parsons as Phil Davis and Tro Shaw as Judy Haynes. The cast also includes a

Nielson said audiences shouldn’t expect a traditional musical when they come see “White Christmas.” “It’s more like watching a variety show from the ‘50s,” said Nielson. “With a full, 22-piece big band on stage and smaller set pieces, it brings the whole thing together beautifully.

Gifting green for the holidays The holiday season has officially begun and along with good holiday cheer comes a lot of extra waste. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans throw away 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s as compared to any other time of the year. The extra waste amounts to about one million extra tons. “This holiday season we ask community members to make a commitment to go green using our 12 easy tips,” said Eloisa Orozco, spokesperson for Waste Management of Southern California. “With a little thought and creativity we can all save money and time while reducing our impact on the environment this year.” Twelve days of going green:

1. On the first day of going green, do it yourself (DIY) decorations: Invite family and friends to create and use holiday decorations such as ornaments made from old greeting cards or cookie dough, garlands made from strung popcorn or cranberries, wreaths made from artificial greens and flowers, and potpourri made from kitchen spices such as cinnamon and cloves. 2. On the second day of going green, buy green: Check product labels to determine whether an item is made from recycled materials. Buying recycled encourages manufacturers to make more recycled-content products available. 3. On the third day of going green, wrap green: Consider earth friendly wrapping alternatives. Scarves, handkerchiefs, old maps, newspapers, children’s artwork, repurposed gift bags and reusable containers like cookie tins or baskets all make great packaging. Replace ribbons and bows with natural evergreens, berries, dried flowers and keep them as decorations or compost them after the gifts are unwrapped. 4. On the fourth day of going green, send green cards: This year, send eCards or recycled-content cards. If you send cards in the mail, consider making them by hand with last year’s cards or wrapping paper. If you receive cards from family and friends, make sure you recycle them after the holidays.
5. On the fifth day of going green, gift green: Give potted plants, flowers or trees that the recipient can plant in the garden or yard – not only will it be a gift that continues to be a beautiful reminder of the holidays all throughout the year, but it will also benefit the environment. 6. On the sixth day of going green, gift loved ones an experience: Music lessons, concert tickets, museum passes, zoo memberships or even favors like babysitting make great zero waste gifts. Find out the gift recipient’s favorite charity and make a donation in his or her honor, or commit to volunteering time with that organization. 7. On the seventh day of going green, make a plan to carpool: Spend quality time with friends by carpooling to holiday activities or consider taking public transportation to avoid traffic jams. 8. On the eighth day of going green, bring a reusable container: Package dishes for holiday dinners in a reusable container. If the item is a gift, place it on a decorative holiday plate, in a washable kitchen container or wrap it with a holiday towel. 9. On the ninth day of going green, be a green host: When entertaining, use washable utensils, plates, glasses, napkins and table linens. If you don’t already have these items, consider renting rather than purchasing them. If you have leftover food, send it home with your guests or donate it to a local homeless shelter to avoid waste. 10. On the 10th day of going green, love your lights: Set holiday lights on a timer to go off late at night and during the day. This saves energy and makes lights last longer. 11. On the 11th day of going green, recharge: About 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season, most of which later end up in landfills. Rechargeable batteries reduce the amount of potentially harmful materials thrown away, and can save money in the long run. 12. On the 12 day of going green, recycle: When the holidays are over, be sure to recycle your holiday tree and wreath. With a little imagination and commitment, we can use this holiday season to create new traditions that help preserve the environment, not only for our families, but also for future generations.

Choosing the right toys can help kids meet milestones (StatePoint) — This holiday season, keep in mind the notion that what your children play with can have a large impact on their interests and brain development. So when it comes to a walk down the toy aisle, parents are becoming more discerning, leading smart toymakers to design toys with a learning component that’s equally as important as the fun. VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children, works with a team of child development experts to assess toys and provide feedback before reaching store shelves. The members of VTech’s Expert Panel are offering some helpful holiday shopping hints to parents looking to foster their child’s love of learning: • Add it up: “Mathematical foundations provide the building blocks for future mathematical success, both in school and beyond,” says Dr. Francis (Skip) Fennell, mathematics educator. “Toys that emphasize numbers, counting and beginning concepts with whole
number operations will develop, support and encourage these crucial concepts and skills.” The Count & Chomp Dino, for example, introduces children to numbers, colors, shapes and foods. • Age-appropriate: “Children’s brains are developing at a remarkable speed,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood development expert. “Their toys should keep up with that growth.” Keep kids challenged with educational toys that are age-appropriate, so they are never bored or frustrated. Consider child-sized, kid-friendly tablets, such as the InnoTab MAX, that are packed with educational, stage-based learning content. • Full STEAM ahead: Science, technol-
ogy, engineering and mathematics (collectively known as STEM) have gained more visibility in schools, along with the addition of arts to form STEAM. However, says Dr. Carla C. Johnson, science and STEM expert, “It is still crucial to cultivate skills in these subjects and implement them in everyday learning. Educational toys can help kids develop self-confidence in the use and application of these important disciplines.” • Build vocabulary: “Children absorb new information like sponges. Take advantage of their blossoming interests with interactive toys that highlight letters of the alphabet, the sounds letters make and vocabulary,” says Dr. Deborah Sharp Libby, early childhood
language and reading expert. “Above all, don’t forget the importance of reading to and with your children often!” • Choose wisely: “Don’t get carried away with the bells and whistles. You and your kids will quickly look past those. Instead, look for toys that actively engage your kids through technology, by deeply integrating games and learning,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, platform learning expert. Remember, each child grows at his or her own pace, and there are few hard and fast deadlines when it comes to a child’s milestones.

With toys as tools for learning, you can help children as they reach their educaopmenta milestones. tional and developmental

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brains go on vacation during holiday season (StatePoint) You may have heard of â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer slideâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when those summer months cause kids to lose all that glorious information and knowledge they acquired during the school year. But even shorter breaks can cause education rifts for students, too. Not to worry. You can help dampen this effect by making sure kids use their brains over the holidays. The only requirement: make it fun. Here are a few ideas to keep your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brains busy during holiday breaks: Whether your children pair up with just one friend or an entire crowd, consider making studying a social event. Add some festivity to the affair by serving snacks and desserts. Around the holidays, you might even include a themed gift exchange for added appeal. If you are in between semesters, there may not be any official studying to do, but kids can keep their minds moving with supplemental learning. For example, if your child studied â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I Lay Dyingâ&#x20AC;? in
school, make a movie night of it. Pop some popcorn and invite his or her friends over to watch the film version of the novel. Consider online learning tools that use creative techniques to engage students. For example, Shmoop, an online curriculum and test prep provider, offers original content that is fun without being cheesy. For example, the site has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride and Prejudiceâ&#x20AC;? course which asks students to create OkCupid profiles for Lizzy, Jane, and Lydia Bennet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 100 percent related to what your child is studying, fun tools and content can spark new interests,â&#x20AC;? says David Siminoff, founder and chief creative

officer of Shmoop. For example, the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shakespearean Translatorâ&#x20AC;? translates anything students type into â&#x20AC;&#x153;super authentic Shakespearean English,â&#x20AC;? turning even resistant readers into Shakespeare aficionados. Additionally, the site has online courses on subjects that will definitely keep kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brains stimulated without feeling like a snoozefest. For example, short courses like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Bad as Literature,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The World According to Dr. Seuss,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruce Springsteen`s America,â&#x20AC;? can make holiday learning a treat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that kids love television and movies. So why not mimic the experi-
ence with educational videos? Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a historical documentary or a math-oriented instructional video, the audiovisual format is a great vessel for many learners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially those on vacation. For students who need motivation beyond the pursuit of knowledge or the satisfaction of better grades, consider a rewards system. Offering prizes for books read or lessons completed could be just the encouragement needed to get kids focused on academics over the holidays. Shmoopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Math Shackâ&#x20AC;? takes this concept to heart, awarding badges and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shmoints,â&#x20AC;? a virtual currency. No matter what your child is learning, a bit of material incentive can prove useful when helping kids set and achieve goals. Cookies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, either. tion ccan be found at www.

Stocking stuffers for outdoor fans (StatePoint) While checking those big ticket items off your holiday shopping list can be stressful, don’t let stocking stuffers bog you down. Simple gifts that show you care about your recipient and their hobbies work great. For those that love the garage and the great outdoors, here are a few cool stocking stuffer ideas that serve a useful purpose and are easy to find. Glasses, secured For those with prescription glasses, consider clip-on sunglasses with UV protection. These are handy for those who don’t wear contacts but still want the same protection from the sun for their eyes. And don’t forget that keeping one’s glasses or sunglasses secured is a must -- whether out on the water for a day white water rafting or in the yard on the riding mower. A glasses retainer is just the tool to do the trick. This inexpensive item can be found at most optical retailers and sporting goods stores and usually come in a variety of colors and styles. Light it up No one appreciates powerful, long-lasting light more than campers and DIY-ers. Go beyond a standard flashlight, however, and check out the new line of Energizer lights with Light Fusion Technology which
includes flashlights, a pop-up lantern and a folding lantern that are easy-to-operate, water-resistant and lightweight enough to take anywhere. Energizer also offers a variety of headlights that are especially handy, as they are comfortable to wear and completely hands-free. Make sure to include high-quality batteries, such as Energizer MAX batteries with Power Seal Technology. Energizer MAX AA batteries protect from leakage better than the other leading battery for up to two years, after fully used, in low-powered devices. Leaking batteries are a common problem and can cause corrosion, ruining a great device when you need it most. More information can be found at www. Energizer.com. Knife sharpener No hunter, angler or camper should leave home for an adventure without a knife sharpener. Additionally, every garage should have this tool, as well. Gift this essential gear this season for happier trails and DIY-ing. Stocking stuffers are an easy way to be extra thoughtful. You don’t need to spend a fortune to include items that will be invaluable to your gift recipients during their next projects or outdoor adventures.

KEVIN WILLIAMSON San Diego market slowdown continues Berkshire Hathaway names RB office manager Kevin W illiamson, a 13-year real estate professional, has joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeSer vices California Proper ties as manager of the 52-agent Rancho Bernardo office. Williams relocated with his family to Rancho Bernardo from Riverside, his hometown, after managing a large real estate office in Rancho Cucamonga the past three years. He previously was manager and a top-producing agent at another large real estate firm in Riverside County. “Kevin has a deep understanding of the real estate market, especially the new technologies that help agents grow their business,” said David M. Cabot, President and CEO of San Diego-based Berkshire Hathaway HomeSer vices
(CNS) — A slowdown in the local real estate market continued last month as the number of houses and condominiums that changed hands fell, according to figures released Tuesday by the San Diego Association of Realtors. About 1,400 single-family homes were sold in November, a 22 percent decrease from October. While the SDAR chalked up the drop to a normal holiday season decline, the figure was also 14 percent below the same time last year. For attached homes, like condominiums and townhomes, 679 changed hands, down 19 percent from October and 11 percent below November 2013, according to SDAR data. The performance of the San Diego market reflects a nationwide real estate slowdown after a year or so of strong increases in both sales and prices. “While we are experiencing some typical seasonal slowing, housing prices and inventory levels have stabilized, interest rates remain low and homes continue to sell quickly,’’ said Leslie Kilpatrick, SDAR’s board president. “Opportunities exist in every market, and current conditions have been a plus for first-time buyers and people returning to the market.’’ The median price of a house that sold last month was $491,000, a 1 percent decrease from the month prior. The price tag remained 5 percent higher than the same month in 2013. The median price of a condo was $325,000 in November, 4 percent below October but 5 percent above November

Ten tips for harmonious holiday get-togethers By Thomas C. Lian, M.D.
It’s the time of year when we are bombarded with television ads and heartwarming movies suggesting that the holidays are all about gathering with loved ones for joyful celebrations filled with laughter and harmony. In the real world, however, holidays with family members may be more stressful than festive. Even the most loving families have their ongoing arguments and personality clashes, and these tend to be heightened during the holidays. Often, the same problems seem to arise year after year. If you find yourself dreading your family get-togethers, the following tips may help you worry less and enjoy more. Prepare yourself — and your attitude. Instead of feeling anxious or defensive, focus on feeling calm. Before you go, do something relaxing that puts you in a good mood, such as taking a warm bath, doing yoga, or listening to your favorite music. Set realistic expectations. If your family holidays have a history of conflict, don’t expect that this year will be different for some reason, or that the people who irritate you might have changed since last year. Accept that there will likely be some conflict, but focus instead on interacting with people whom you enjoy. Avoid potentially upsetting topics. Politics and religion are obvious, but too often people bring up subjects without realizing how they affect others. You may truly care about the person and want the best for him or her, but avoid questions such as, “When are you ever going to get married/have children/buy a house?” Keep questions general and open-ended; ask about vacation plans, family activities, or simply what’s new. Accept that you can’t control others’ actions, but you can monitor and modify your own reactions. No one can force you to engage in a negative conversation.
Choose instead to not react at all. Simply say, “Let’s not get into that now.” Then change the topic. If he or she persists, excuse yourself and walk away. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. While alcohol may help some people relax and loosen up, it makes others more belligerent, irritable or combative. Know how it affects you and act accordingly. Avoid people who have over-imbibed (and make sure they don’t drive). Plan activities that diffuse conflict. It’s more difficult for people to argue when they’re engrossed in an activity that requires concentration, physical activity, or laughter. Play a board game, toss a football around, go for a walk, or watch a funny holiday movie. Focus on being grateful. Be thankful that you have a warm place to be for the holidays with plenty of food. Appreciate that you are healthy enough to enjoy it. Be grateful for a slice of pumpkin pie or a hug from a loved one. This helps you keep the annoyances in perspective. Practice tolerance. Yes, your sister drives you crazy with her long, “all about me” stories that contain every insignificant detail she can include. Listen politely anyway. You probably do things that irritate others too. Bring along something that makes you happy such as a photo of your dog, a funny text from a friend, or any memento you can keep in your pocket. When things get too stressful, take a look at it and let it help calm you down. Breathe. If you can’t physically leave a stressful situation, you can always take a moment to “check out” and focus on your breathing. Take five slow, deep breaths, focusing on breathing in and out. Even this short break can have a powerful effect on stress, anger and anxiety. Thomas C. Lian, M.D., is a psychiatrist and behavioral health medical director with Scripps Health.

Seton Hall-bound Dalton Soffer is one of the top shooters in the state. Photo by Sherri Cortez from 6-8 for ward Beeler when it comes to filling up the hoop. But the big question mark for Fisher comes on the defensive end of the floor. “We are still trying to figure out who is going to step up defensively and guard the other teams’ one or two or three best players consistently,” he said. “Let everyone know that coach Fisher says he is looking for a defensive stopper and if you can do it then you can play.” What Fisher does know is that Soffer and Beeler need to set a solid example for the younger guys, if the Titans expect to get better. One of those younger guys is Sit. The sophomore point guard will bring the ball up the court in his first full year on the varsity. “I am very confident with
him in the point guard role,” Fisher said. “He is stronger and faster than last year and he is an exceptionally smart student and handles information very well.” Poway figures to finish in the middle of the pack in the Palomar League. Torrey Pines is the favorite to win the league title. ****

By this time last year the Rancho Bernardo High football team already had a few weeks to digest a second straight dreadful one-win season. On Saturday, the Broncos were driving for a potential gametying score with five minutes to go against the No. 2 team in the county in the San Diego Section Division II championship game. Yep, Rancho Bernardo has come that far that quickly. But there would be no storybook ending to the program’s year of revival, as the top-seeded Vaqueros made one last stand to hold on for a thrilling 14-7 victory to claim the Division II championship at Southwestern College. Rancho Bernardo started the potential game-tying drive on its own 34-yard line and moved the ball all the way to the Vaqueros’ 25 before turning the ball over on downs when Tucker Reed’s pass on fourth-and-12 fell incomplete with 1:32 left. El Capitan (13-0) picked up one first down and ran out the rest of the clock, ending the Broncos’ hopes at capturing their first section championship since 1995 and a shot at playing in a CIF Division III SoCal Regional this week. “Of course we thought we were going to drive down there and score a touchdown,” said Rancho Bernardo WR/DB Kameron Calhoun, who caught four passes for 29 yards and set the offense up with great field position a few times with solid punt and kickoff returns. “You have to think that. But El Cap is a great team and they made some good plays.” SEE FOOTBALL, Page B32
Boys basketball in the area has a chance to shine, but it could take time for teams to hit their stride in full. Poway will need its young players to develop quickly around returning stars Dalton Soffer and Matt Beeler. First-year Rancho Bernardo coach Marc Basehore is only in his first week with his entire team together since five of his players were still competing in football. The Nighthawks are starting from scratch, as they return no starters and have just three seniors. Maranatha will need to learn to adjust to life without leading scorer Chance Lamont, who graduated. Here is a closer look at the local teams:
have str uggled in recent years, but first-year coach Basehore is hoping to put an end to that. He has the talent to do it with a nice mixture of seniors and underclassmen. Overton is the returning leading scorer. The sharpshooting sophomore made 45 3-pointers and averaged 11 points per game last year. He is not the only strong outside shooter, as Murray, Mikili, Fuller, and LJ Crouch can also light it up from beyond the arc. With all of the shooting and a lack of height, you can expect Rancho Bernardo to try to push the tempo pretty often this season. “We are going to tr y to play as fast as we can and play with some defensive pressure,” Basehore said. “We want to wear teams down because we certainly don’t have much height.” The Broncos might start slow because five of their guys were on the football team which played in the Division II championship game Saturday. But Rancho Bernardo will be a team to watch when the Division III playoffs roll around. “I like our chances,” Basehore said. “I think we have a strong team. Hopefully we can be there at the end.”

Murray, who averaged eight points last year, leads the way. She boasts a strong jumper and can get to the rim. Pierick can be an inside and outside threat, while Reynolds can push the ball up the floor for easy transition baskets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for Aly to be an outside threat and for Pierick to spread the floor out and score some in the paint,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reynolds is a transitional wizard. She can get the ball out and up the court and get to the free-throw line.â&#x20AC;? The Broncos should challenge for a spot in the middle of the pack in the Palomar League. ****

Titans' Sorahan looking for redemption, state title BY MICHAEL BOWER Most wrestlers that reach the state tournament stand out on their team. The opposite is true at Poway High. Fair or not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only if you fail to make it that you stand out. Liam Sorahan found out what that feels like last year. The 222-pounder fell in triple overtime in the semifinals of the San Diego Section Masters Championships and then lost in overtime in the third-place match, ending his season one win shy of reaching state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happened, I knew I could take it one of two ways,â&#x20AC;? explained Sorahan, now a senior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could tell myself that I put in all that work and nothing came of it, so why am I doing this? Or, I could use it as fuel and really add motivation for this year...â&#x20AC;? That was an easy choice for Sorahan, whose passion for wrestling overpowered his love for the other sports he played in middle school such as baseball, rugby and football. There was no way he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to push even harder heading into this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I had a decent season last year,â&#x20AC;? Sorahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But nobody really cares what you did before state. This year I am trying to redeem myself. I really want to win a state title. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just want to place.â&#x20AC;? Sorahan dominated in his first tournament of the year. He went a perfect 8-0 en route to the 285-pound title at the Sidney Eagle Invitational in Montana last weekend (the

next lowest weight class was 205 so Sorahan wrestled up). Among those teams participating in the tournament were two-time defending Washington 4A champions Lake Stevens and Montana perennial powers Sidney, Skyview and Forsyth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My semifinal match that I won 4-1 was probably my toughest match,â&#x20AC;? said Sorahan, who is one of the more agile wrestlers in his weight class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was up about 7-2 three different times in the tournament and those kids out there never stopped wrestling, so you had to be careful.â&#x20AC;? Sorahan has put in a full offseason of hard work, focusing on being a more offensive wrestler with more versatility. He felt that grapplers that wrestled him a second time were able to adjust too easily to his style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew what I had to do at the end of last year,â&#x20AC;? Sorahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The eight guys that placed at my weight were all seniors and I knew I was going to be one of the top guys coming in this year. I just needed to develop more of an offense ... I really have been trying to work on new moves SEE SORAHAN, Page B39

The Broncos fans that made the trip to Chula Vista stayed standing and applauding far after the final whistle blew. They recognized just how much their football team had accomplished this year: first Palomar League title since 2004 and first championship game appearance since 2001 just to name a few things. “There is no shame or embarrassment here,” Rancho Bernardo coach Tristan McCoy said. “There was zero expectation for us to go this far. We are going to hold our heads up high.” The Broncos should, and not just for finishing with a 10-3 record after going 2-19 over the past two seasons. Rancho Bernardo also gave the undefeated Vaqueros all they could handle on the biggest stage. The Broncos recovered a fumble, forced seven punts and got the ball back on downs once while holding the high-powered offense of El Capitan to a season-low 14 points. Vaqueros QB Brad Cagle, the Offensive Player of the Year in the Grossmont Hills League, completed just 12 of 26 passes for 174 yards. “I thought that if we could hold them
Broncos' Kameron Calhoun finds some running room in Saturday's title game Photo by Leo Nicolet to 14 points on defense our offense would be able to score enough to win the game,” McCoy said. “But you have to give their defense a ton of credit. I thought we would be able to run the ball, but they played a great game.” Anthony Barnum, whose 1-yard TD run just over four minutes into the game gave the Broncos a 7-0 lead, finished with 69 yards on 19 carries. Rancho
Bernardo struggled to move the ball most of the game, finishing with just seven first downs and punting it away seven times. Still, Rancho Bernardo had the ball four times in El Capitan territory after the Vaqueros took a 14-7 lead on a 6-yard run by Cagle with 1:27 to go in the third quarter. But the Broncos could not punch the ball into the end zone. “What it comes down to is they just made a few more plays than we did,” McCoy said. El Capitan tied the game at 7-7 with Cagle’s 24-yard strike to Isaiah Capoocia with 3:33 left before halftime. The Vaqueros went on an 11-play, 88-yard drive before Cagle’s 6-yard run gave them the lead for good. The Broncos might not have a section banner to hang in the gym, but the season they turned in will go down as one of the more memorable ones. “I am so proud of this team and the way we came out fighting this whole season,” Rancho Bernardo senior linebacker Evan Jones said. “It means so much for us to come this far and have this comeback this season and bring some respect back to the program.”

man, Sr.; C, Taylor Tollestrup, Sr.; F, Victoria Wilson, Jr. █ Outlook: The Nighthawks lost their leading rebounder (Caitlin Cole) and scorer (Natalie Davies) from a year ago to graduation. The offense would often run through those two inside, but things will change with their graduation and with five returning guards in the mix. Evans, Camerino, Green, McGuire and Hoffman are all more than capable of scoring and how they do could determine just how far the Nighthawks go. “I would definitely characterize those five returning guards as the strength of our team,” McNeely said. “Our philosophy has a changed a little because our strengths are more balanced this year than in past years.” The Nighthawks move from the Valley League to the Avocado East and with defending Division I champion Mission Hills in the mix, competing for a league championship will be tough. ****

█ Coach: Nate Jackson, 1st year █ Last season: 6-15, missed playoffs. █ Division: V █ Key players: C, Jackie Kadillak, Sr.; F, Jordan Ward, Fr. █ Outlook: The Eagles have five returning starters, but are very young and just trying to build morale after a tough year. Kadillak, the school’s all-time leader in blocked shots, leads the way. The 5-10 center is a force in the paint on offense, too. “As she goes we go,” said coach Jackson, who took over as head coach near the end of the season last year. “At this point, the offense goes through her.”

B36 Street, El Cajon, CA 92020 Entrance of the East County Regional Center Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $392,546.58 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 12838 BLANCO COURT POWAY, CA 92064 Described as follows: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 317-750-25-00 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-29849. 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.

█ Key players: C, Montrice Johns, Sr.; F, Garrett Eddy, Sr. █ Outlook: Del Norte returns no starters and only has three seniors on the roster — just one with extensive varsity experience. “We are one of those teams that is so inexperienced at the varsity level that it is all about which team is going to show up that day,” coach Spahn said. Johns, a 6-5, 245-pound center, will be expected to do much of the scoring along with Eddy. “Montrice is definitely our guy,” Spahn said. “We try to run our offense through him and hope one of two things happen: he goes to work or the defense reacts and we get a guard open.” The Nighthawks have a roster full of guards and will often play a four-guard offense with Johns. The key to being competitive this season is defense, says
Spahn. “I am not sure we are going to light up the scoreboard this year, so our focus is going to be defending,” he said. “We would like to keep scores low.” Del Norte will play in the Avocado East League this season. San Marcos, Escondido and Mission Hills should all battle for the crown. “We definitely moved into a much tougher league,” Spahn said. “At the end of the day, if we can just be competitive and finish somewhere around .500 in our league that would be awesome.” ****

█ Coach: Brooks Barnhard, 4th year █ Last season: 14-14, lost in first round of Division IV playoffs. █ Division: IV
█ Key players: PG, Metro Henning, Sr.; F, Corey Adkins, Sr.; G, Casey Moore, Sr.; G, James Rohde, Jr.; G, Matt Dewildt, Jr.; F, John Bothe, Jr. █ Outlook: The Eagles return four starters. Chance Lamont dominated the ball last season, but with him graduating last spring the Eagles figure to spread the points around this season. “We are going to have a different style this year,” Barnhard said. “This year we will play more of a team game, which I am excited about.” Henning, Adkins, Moore, Rohde, and Dewildt are all capable of hitting a jumper. The Eagles should challenge again for the Pacific League title. Pacific Ridge is likely going to be their main competition. “Our goals are to win the league title and make a deep playoff run,” Barnhard said.

and change my style of wrestling so I am not as predictable as I was last year.” Sorahan was ranked as high as No. 6 in the state last season. He opened this year ranked No. 6 at 220 pounds by Cal Grappler. But he learned last season that rankings mean very little. “I think I learned that the hard way last year,” he said. “I thought being ranked
sixth meant something. I thought it automatically meant you are going to state and I totally overlooked Masters. Rankings are fun to see ... but they aren’t anything to brag about. In the end, nobody cares. It is how you perform.” The Titans have their strongest lineup in recent years and there has been a little buzz about the possibil-
ity of capturing a fifth state title in school history. This time around, Sorahan plans to be on the mat in Bakersfield helping his team try to do just that. “Only a few teams each year are looking at state and thinking about winning the title,” he said. “For us, that is what it is all about. The expectations are really high and I like it.”
