PUSD search narrowed to top candidate
School board president: ‘We’re getting close’
Readers share their Valentine love letters. A16
BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN The Poway Unified School District is set to make a match with a new superintendent on Valentine’s Day. The school board has narrowed its search to a top candidate, and hopes to finalize contract and salary details at its regular board meeting on Tuesday night, said board president Michelle O'Connor-Ratcliff. “We’re at the point where we’re getting close,” she said.
She did not release the name of the candidate or the salary offer, and said those remain confidential until the board votes on the matter. The board received 91 applications from candidates in 46 states, O'Connor-Ratcliff said. Its executive search firm, Iowa-based Ray and Associates, narrowed the list down to 11 top applicants, and the board selected five to interview in person before choosing a finalist, O'Connor-Ratcliff said.

The board has been seeking a new schools chief since it fired former superintendent John Collins in July, citing allegations that he collected more than $345,000 in unauthorized pay over the last few years and then tried to thwart an investigation into his compensation. Collins has denied those allegations. Before his firing, Collins was the highest paid superintendent in the county, earning $308,900 per year, with total compensation of $457,347 including extra pay, benefits and retirement. He was ousted last SEE PUSD, A12

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Drivers traveling along Rancho Bernardo Road between the freeway and Bernardo Center Drive can expect traffic delays in that area for several months, starting Monday. Kurt Bruskotter, vice president of land development for CalAtlantic Homes, said road construction to widen both sides of Rancho Bernardo Road in that area is estimated to take six or seven months. He explained project details during the Feb. 6 RB Traffic and Transportation Committee meeting, part of the RB Planning Board. But based on CalAtlantic’s other projects in RB, committee Chairwoman Robin Kaufman said the Rancho Bernardo Road project could realistically take up to a year. She reminded Bruskotter and residents present that CalAtlantic’s road widening project along West Bernardo Drive near RB Community Park was to be done by November, yet still has no completion date in sight. She also said its road project in the RB Industrial Park has been delayed by several months and SEE ROAD, A13

4S Ranch doctor writes songs for his patients Music used to uplift spirits while undergoing cancer treatments
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A 4S Ranch doctor is writing and singing personalized songs to heal his cancer patients’ souls. “It’s very healing for the patients,” said Dr. Steven Eisenberg. “They are much more than just a person with cancer. They are unique souls who are loved deeply by their families.” The song he writes specifically for each patient is meant to remind them of that during their most difficult times, he said. Often a gathering is planned for the patient at his or her home, where friends and family can come to celebrate the patient and during that time Eisenberg performs the song while playing the guitar. The song is also recorded at a studio so the patient and family can listen to it whenever. The celebration is scheduled as “a very special rallying point ... something to look forward to,” he said. “They are the co-creator (of the song),” he said. “That is what is very unique.” “He doesn’t treat your illness, he treats you. And that’s the way medicine should be,” said patient Debbie Hallmark, who was serenaded with her song to celebrate that she completed a grueling round of chemotherapy. Eisenberg, an oncologist with cCARE (California Cancer Associates for Research and Excellence) in its 4S Ranch office, said he was inspired to write music based on his patients’ lives after winning a contest about 10 years ago. The story writer’s prize was a song written by his favorite musical artist, Peter Himmelman, who used the winner’s story as inspiration. “It was during a period ... when I was stressed because I was doing my internship and residency,” Eisenberg said. Himmelman turned what Eisenberg wrote into “Mission of My Soul.” “I would listen to the song during my 3
a.m. calls in the ER, remembering my mission was medicine,” he said. Eisenberg said the experience “forever changed me” and helped him cope with stress and the realities of his profession. “When I first started my medical training I was this bright eyed ... will change the world (person),” he said. “But then I ended up in survival mode as a new oncologist. It was a very stressful time, but hearing my song that he wrote nudged me back to the highest part of my soul. There was joy in the music ... (reminding me) of the reason I became a doctor in the first place.” He said, “I started to feel better about myself and take better care of myself.” According to Eisenberg, what he was feeling was not unique since “one out of every two doctors experiences burnout.” Eisenberg added, “Not only did the song start to alleviate (my stress) but I discovered why I wanted to be a doctor in the first place. ... The song changed me at my core.” Knowing his patients struggle with tremendous stress upon learning their diagnosis and going through cancer treatments, Eisenberg said he decided to likewise lift their spirits through music. Among treatment appointments he includes a song writing session. “I’m interested in their life, what they love and inspires them to laugh, live and be strong; what touches and inspires their soul, ” he said. For example, Eisenberg learned during one such session that a patient with Stage 4 breast cancer had written poetry her whole life. It was an aspect of her that he said a doctor would not normally learn during a medical interview. “Anxiety and depression can have a significant impact on cancer patients,” he said. “It can affect the way cancer patients heal. It is little known that songs have deeper meaning. (They) can help (patients) SEE DOCTOR, A6

Family raising money for PHS grad after snowboarding accident
COURTESY PHOTO

TAKE THE LEAP!
BY EMILY SORENSEN The family of a Poway High grad is raising money to help her adapt to her new life following a devastating snowboarding accident in December. On Dec. 23, Allyson Mallory, a 1997 graduate of Poway High School and principal at Ralph Moody Elementary School in Littleton, Colorado, fell while snowboarding and broke her back. She is now paralyzed from the waist down. A YouCaring fundraiser has raised over $70,000 of a requested $90,000 for Allyson since her accident. The funds will be used to buy her a new car with hand controls, remodel her Colorado home to accommodate her wheelchair and to help pay her medical expenses, according to her father, Pat Mallory. “Allyson is doing great,” said Mallory. She is currently completing her rehabilitation at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado, where she is making great progress, her father said. “She was supposed to spend three months in the rehab hospital, but she’s getting out in seven weeks,” he said. Mallory said the speed of her recovery is due to her high level of fitness prior to her accident and to her fierce dedication to working out and undergoing physical therapy. Allyson will be coming home from the hospital on Feb. 24, though she doesn’t yet have a date for returning to work. Prior to her accident, Mallory said Allyson did crossfit and was an expert snowboarder. Allyson underwent a four-hour surgery and spent a week in the intensive care unit at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Lakewood,
Colorado, said Mallory. She began physical therapy on Dec. 26, three days after her accident. “Her mother and I got to the hospital on Christmas Day, because we couldn’t get a flight on Christmas Eve,” said Mallory. “She was sitting up in bed on her laptop and said, ‘I’m going to be in the Special Olympics.’” A big part of her recovery has been occupational therapy, said Mallory. “You have to learn how to do everything from a wheelchair,” he said. Her family has been remodeling her house to prepare for her homecoming, making it wheelchair accessible. “Pull up a chair in front of the sink and try to do things from sitting down,” he said. “It’s hard.” Mallory said Allyson has always overcome challenges. In high school, she was one of two girls who played on the boys golf team, because no girls team existed yet. She also earned her doctorate while teaching, attending classes in the evening and over the weekend at USC, a nearly three-hour round trip. While Allyson’s spinal cord wasn’t severed, it was severely stretched, said Mallory, which isn’t something that repairs itself. Doctors have given Allyson a less than 1 percent chance of walking again, which hasn’t deterred her from working towards walking again. “She says, ‘don’t worry, this is temporary,’” said Mallory. “She doesn’t think of herself as crippled. She thinks of herself as challenged, and she’s going to beat this challenge.” Allyson’s YouCaring fundraising page is at youcaring.com/allysonmallory-723784.

‘Run for Love’ 5k run/walk is Saturday at Poway High Event benefits San Diego Fisher House BY EMILY SORENSEN A Poway High School senior has organized a 5k run/walk on Saturday to benefit San Diego’s Fisher House for her senior project. Alexa Jury, 17, has been working on her “Run for Love” 5k and one-mile run/walk since November. “I’ve never anything like this before,” she said. The San Diego Fisher House provides temporary homes for the families of members of the military undergoing medical care at Navy Medical Center San Diego. There is no cost to families, as all lodging costs are covered by the Fisher House Foundation. The 5K run/walk also includes a one-mile run/walk. Neither race will be timed or competitive. Check-in time begins at 7:30 a.m., with the 5k beginning at 8 a.m. and the one-mile run/walk several minutes later. The cost is $20 for adults and $12 for children, which includes a T-shirt. There is also a special for couples, since the run is being held near Valentine’s Day, said Jury. Couples can sign up for $32. The event is being held on the campus of Poway High School, 15550 Espola Road. Runners can sign up in advance at facebook.com/runforloveFH or at the event. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the San Diego Fisher House, Jury said. She chose the San Diego Fisher House, she said, because

her father and stepmother are in the Army and several other relatives have served in the military. Organizing a 5k run/walk requires a lot of phone calls, Jury said. “I contacted the school first, since it would be easiest to hold it at the high school,” she said. Jury said she also spent a lot of time talking with San Diego Fisher House, who were “super down” with her raising funds for their organization through her project. Jury also worked to make posters and distribute them around town, spread the word through social media and word-of-mouth and contacted local businesses
to see if they would contribute to her project. The Albertson’s in Rancho Bernardo is donating water, said Jury, and Big Frog in Carmel Mountain Ranch is donating the T-shirts for the runners. She also shadowed one of the organizers of the annual Jack-O-Smash run, to learn more about how to actually organize a race, said Jury. Jury, who plays varsity softball for PHS and is also a member of Peer Counseling, said she has never run in a 5k before before her work in organizing “Run for Love” has inspired her to sign up for the next Chelsea’s Run.
FROM DOCTOR, A3 deal psychologically. ... Every little bit helps in cancer treatments. “If I can nudge them a little more (to remember) what they love, there is less fear. It’s not a cure ... but they can give up a little of the fear ... on such a scary journey,” he said. Eisenberg said he took piano lessons as a child, but did not pick up the guitar until medical school, when the Pennsylvania native found his father’s guitar in their attic. He played the guitar to relax at home while attending Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and continued during his fellowship at Georgetown Medical Center’s Vincent T. Lombardi
Comprehensive Cancer Center in Medical Oncology and Hematology. As for writing music, Eisenberg said he “always sort of wrote lyrics and songs,” but became an oncologist because “I wanted a specialty where I could impact the most.” His efforts have become known in the medical community and Eisenberg said he has heard of some other doctors doing something creative to help their patients. “Art and medicine are tightly linked,” he said. “I hope (my) story helps them break through the normal patient/doctor barrier. I was taught to keep up the barrier, but I say break down the barrier ... because it may help (patients) heal.”

Then and Now BY MARY SHEPARDSON
The saga of Big Stone Lodge
I
n Poway’s early days, the journey through here from San Diego to Escondido was an arduous one. The daily stage between the two cities would stop for lunch, and to change horses, at the bottom of the grade coming down from what is now Scripps Ranch, a spot known as Half Way House. After the advent of motor vehicles and the paving of the road that would become Pomerado in 1921, the trip was faster and less daunting. Still, a grove of oak trees, traversed by a creek at the bottom of the grade was an attractive place to linger. In the early 1920s, Dr. Homer Hansen and Daniel Stuck, friends and business partners from the San Fernando Valley, acquired land near the site of the old stage stop with the intention of building Camp Big Stone, a resort complex. The ambitious plans called for camping facilities, a service station and store, a swimming pool and possibly even a college. The lodge building was to serve as a place for community dances and socials. Construction of Camp Big Stone came to a halt with the onset of the Depression, although there are lively tales of a speakeasy that thrived there prior to the repeal of Prohibition. While

dance club, usually of the honky-tonk variety with an emphasis on country music. Generations of patrons treasure fond memories of the place in its various forms. (I had my first legal drink there in 1967.) It later relished a rowdy reputation as The Pomerada, featuring country music, beer and pool. Former Padres star Randy Jones ran it as a barbecue place. The rerouting of Pomerado Road, which left Big Stone out of sight and out of mind for most potential customers, no doubt contributed to its decline over the years. The death knell may, however, may have come from a seemingly unrelated event. In 1993 the Poway City Council, faced with fierce neighborhood opposition, voted to turn down an application for apartments on the hill between the club and new Pomerado Road. The council opted instead for a development of upscale homes. The new residents soon made known their displeasure with the noise and disruption of the lively spot. In 1994, the city sought to acquire the property, designate it as a Poway historic site,

with the intention of converting it into a community center. This was derailed by the discovery of a leaking underground gas tank, dating to the days when the lodge had featured a service station. After wrangling with the owners for years, Poway finally purchased the property in 2003 for $845,000, close to the original asking price. In 2006 officials concluded that the main building was too deteriorated to be saved and voted to tear it down except for a few of the signature stones. Changes to the property (mainly tearing it down) would run some $400,000. So far, a decade after the original decision to demolish it, the destruction of the historic building remains in limbo. With the end of the Redevelopment Agency, a sale of the property is no doubt contemplated. You can cruise down Old Pomerado Road and look at it sitting forlornly behind a chain link fence. What Big Stone needs now is a savior with deep pockets and a commitment to preserving this colorful bit of Poway’s history. Any takers?

many of the grand plans for the camp were never realized, the lodge itself would endure. The main buildings were constructed with granite, rather than the cobble rocks used in most of Poway’s stone houses. Massive beams were used in the roofs. According to Stuck’s son, Fenton, the lodge sat empty for a while before someone came up with the idea of hosting dances on Saturday nights. This would grow into a more permanent arrangement. In 1981, Elwood Copelan, who once operated the place, related that, “The Big Stone Lodge became pretty notorious during the war. It was a dance hall as well as a bar, and people came from all over …There were problems sometimes in keeping the sailors and marines apart.” When our family moved to Poway in 1949, the lodge was still off-limits to personnel from Miramar and Camp Elliott. The difficulties of managing the steep and winding road up the hill on the way back to base after a night of drinking were no doubt also a factor. Over the years, the property changed ownership several times, and management much more frequently. Sometimes it was a relatively sedate restaurant, at other times a

Burdette becomes an Eagle Scout BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A Rancho Bernardo teen helped the Helen Woodward Animal Center during his journey to become an Eagle Scout. Benjamin Burdette said he designed, planned, fundraised and supervised construction of a barn playhouse structure for the animal center in Rancho Santa Fe. The playhouse is to be used for the center’s youth programs. The Eagle project “requires planning, demonstrates leadership and production of a project which has benefit to the local community,” Burdette said. As for why he selected this project, “There were many worthy opportunities (but) I enjoyed the construction aspect of (this) project and the end result would benefit children and animal education,”
he said. Other requirements to become an Eagle included holding various leadership positions, earning at least 21 merit badges and Eagle Scout demonstrating Benjamin the “Scout spirit Burdette by living in Scout Oath and Law in your everyday life,” he said.

FROM ROAD, A1 the RB Road project’s construction is only starting now when it was to begin last summer. He blamed the delays on the time it took to obtain easements, utility companies’ schedules and unexpected hurdles. Bruskotter said the three Rancho Bernardo projects, along with similar work to widen Camino del Sur, Carmel Valley Road and some Rancho Penasquitos streets, are due to an agreement with the City of San Diego in response to an increase in traffic generated by CalAtlantic’s development of the Del Sur neighborhood, located just west of 4S Ranch. “We didn’t design these projects,” Bruskotter said of the now 3-year-old endeavor. “We were told by the city what to do.” Kaufman said the planning board did not have a say either. It happened to learn of the city’s plans a year ago and, had it been consulted, would have likely suggested other projects instead. Starting Monday, chain link fencing will go up next to the Mobil gas station along Rancho Bernardo Road and near its intersection with Bernardo Center Drive. Due to space limits, he said putting up a concrete barrier to separate traffic from the construction site is not feasible. Those accessing the gas station will have to use its driveway on Bernardo Center Drive. The traffic control measure will force a temporary narrowing of the two lanes to 11 feet each, down from 16-feet and 12 feet. Bruskotter said it should not be a problem for cars, but long vehicles — such as semis — will have difficulty turning and other vehicles will need to stay back as long vehicles navigate the intersection to travel west on RB Road. The far west turn lane at the intersection, when traveling south on Bernardo Center Drive, will
ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
A sign on Rancho Bernardo Road has been alerting drivers for the past couple weeks that they can expect delays due to road work starting Feb. 13. also be closed so storm water collection changes can be made. The committee suggested that nearby businesses be notified so they can tell companies making deliveries to them to consider their truck drivers taking other routes in order to avoid the intersection. The plan is to create a third lane in the now landscaped area by the Mobil gas station and The Mercado. The new lane will connect to the lane farther west that is used by those heading to the freeway’s on-ramps. This will require the above and underground utilities, including those owned by San Diego Gas & Electric, AT&T and others, to be shifted north by several feet of their current locations. Bruskotter said most construction work will occur during the day and power outages will
most likely occur at night. SDG&E will notify anyone who will be affected by outages. He said they will mostly impact nearby businesses, but some residences could lose electricity for a few hours overnight when the switch is made from the current vaults to new ones. Once work by the gas station is complete — phase one — the second phase will be constructing the lane by The Mercado (including a temporary closure of its RB Road driveway). A retaining wall will need to be built, going from 2 feet to 9 feet in height. In both phases there will also be a new sidewalk installed and landscaping. Seven trees will be planted by The Mercado and four by the gas station, he said. The third phase will include asphalt work, though Bruskotter said they will try to do as
much of this as possible during phases one and two. The fourth phase will be fixing the “jog” in the eastbound lanes that makes drivers move one lane to the left only to switch back to the right if planning on turning right at the ARCO gas station. Attendees pointed out that many drivers just cruise right along and don’t bother switching lanes since the road does not fully narrow. Bruskotter said CalAtlantic wants to do phase four simultaneously with phase one to minimize traffic impact. Kaufman told Bruskotter that since his project is behind schedule it will need to work around median improvements scheduled for the same area. Resident Tom Lettington expressed concerns about the lack of bicycle lanes in this area. It is currently designated with sharrows so the far right lanes in either direction are shared equally by bicyclists and drivers. When Bruskotter said bicycle lanes were not part of the city’s design, Lettington told him, “You get an opportunity to do this right, so I suggest you think about bicycle traffic from the beginning for this whole corridor and coordinate adequately with the state to get it under I-15 for a safe flow of traffic.” After the sharrows on RB Road on its east side of the freeway, there is no designation for bicycles in the stretch under I-15, but bicycle lanes exist on the road’s west side of the freeway. “This is one of the most scary places to bike in the whole city,” Lettington said, adding, “This is serious and going to kill somebody in this area. ... I’m surprised it hasn’t already. So don’t start tearing up the streets without (a bicycle plan).” Bruskotter said he will share Lettington’s concerns with the city officials who designed the project.

Love Stories
‘A voice I could fall in love with’ A fortunate coincidence BY MYRA ERICKSON I met my husband, Carl, in choir rehearsal at Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. That Sunday morning in 1991, I was a little late for rehearsal, so I rushed in and took the first seat available, the one right next to the bass section. My first words to the friendly gentleman next to me were “I won’t mess you up if I sing next to you, will I?” Ha! Little did he know. After hearing Carl sing, I knew this was a voice I could fall in love with. As talk got around about our new friendship, our budding romance was encouraged by many of the choir members. Their encouragement must have worked because we were married only nine months later! Since Carl is a singer and I am a pianist, it truly is a match made in heaven! (We did meet in church, after all.) We love performing together and just singing for fun. I played for the choir at Casa de las Campanas for eight years and Carl came along to sing in the choir. You can still find Carl singing at San Rafael Parish as the cantor, most often at the Saturday 5 o’clock mass. He is also the choir director at Community Church of Poway. I imagine you can guess who plays for him there. Carl jokes that he married me to get a free piano accompanist for life. Luckily for him, I was happy to take on the job. And so, the music continues. Now we enjoy singing to our grandchildren and I am teaching them to play the piano. We will celebrate our silver anniversary this year. I expect Carl will be singing me a love song.
Myra and Carl Erickson - then.
The Ericksons now.
BY HASAN NASIR The word that best describes the meeting with my wife is “coincidence.” The name of the girl who stole my heart 20 years ago is Farhana Hassan Lubna and we have been happily married for the last 17 years. I used to live in a dorm at that time, a senior student studying mechanical engineering at a university in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was exam time, my friends and I decided to go for a ride and take a break from studying. We just started driving without any specific destination. Suddenly, I noticed two girls passing by in a cycle-rickshaw (a transport in Bangladesh). One of the girls was my relative and the other one was Lubna. Yes, she is my relative’s best friend. I still remember the dress she wore on that day. It was a red traditional dress and I just couldn’t take my eyes off her. My relative talked about her best friend so many times. Lubna also heard about me but we never met before. After finishing her classes, my relative was going to my dorm to drop off a surprise upcoming birthday present for me. I asked my friend to stop the car and invited my relative and Lubna to go with us for some snacks. Whatever happened next is little foggy to me. All I remember, all of us went to an ice cream place. Both of us were so nervous that we did not talk much. We spent a very short time at the ice cream shop. It felt like
everything was moving really fast around me but I knew for sure that I had fallen in love with this girl! On that same day, I went to my relative’s house at 11 p.m. and asked her to tell Lubna about my feelings. It still amazes me how both of our paths coincided on that day. I would not have met the love of my life if we decided to go on another road or I had not noticed her. Happy Valentine’s Day!

‘Was this an old Navy trick?’ BY GORDON CARGILL Upon entering the U.S. Navy, I was assigned to a ship in Japan. Arriving, I found out the USS Rochester was sailing off the coast of Korea. I was then put on a ship heading to the Sea of Japan in search of the Rochester. I was transferred from ship to ship via the “hi-line mode.” After several weeks, we arrived back in Yokosuka, Japan as the Rochester had returned to port. I finally received my mail on Christmas Eve. One letter was from a young lady. She lived in a neighboring community and the local newspaper in
those days included the names and addresses of service men where a correspondence could be initiated. We wrote to each other and stayed pen pals until I was discharged. Our first date was in August 1952, while on leave. A friend let me use his motor boat for the day. Leaving the marina and sailing across the Great South Bay to Fire Island, from Patchogue, New York, the engine shut down. The boat drifted back towards shore. I threw out the anchor and swam to shore and called my friend. He came with another boat to tow us back to the
marina. An inspection of the boat indicated the problem was a valve from the fuel tank that was not open. Problem solved. Marge in the meantime was thinking to herself, “What is this Navy man trying to pull? Was this an old Navy trick or is there really a problem with the engine?” That night we went to a movie. In September 1956 we were married. That young lady is my wife and we have been together for the past 60-plus years. If it were not for my tour of duty aboard the Rochester, I would not have met my bride.

OPINION

EDITORIAL
Agency has transparency problem
I
t appears that the San Diego Association of Governments misled county voters on the question of how much revenue the proposed Measure A would have generated had it been approved in November. The regional governmental agency, overseen by a board of local city and county officials, insisted during last fall’s Measure A campaign that the half-cent sales tax increase would have brought in $18 billion over 40 years. The money would have been used for a variety of transportation projects, primarily mass transit improvements in the southern portion of the county. Measure A needed a two-thirds voter approval but gained only 58.4 percent support. However, the Voice of San Diego disclosed this week that some SANDAG staffers knew for months prior to the election that the tax increase would likely bring in much less than the $18 billion. Apparently there had been internal discussions over how best to forecast future revenues and the initial estimate overstated how wealthy San Diego County residents will become over the next 40 years and how much they would spend on taxable items. At no point were SANDAG directors, or the county’s voters, advised that the $18 billion might not be a realistic figure. The lower projection was “… an estimate, not a real number, so I didn’t have any reason to go to the board and say let’s change anything,” Executive Director Gary Gallegos said. Meanwhile, the agency is looking for a way to obtain an addition $17.5 billion in state and federal funding to pay for transportation projects, including upgrades to Interstate 15, authorized under a voter-approved 2004 sales-tax extension. Reportedly, there is talk of making another effort at getting a sales tax hike approved by voters. SANDAG now faces both transparency and credibility issues that will need to be resolved before having the slightest chance of winning voters over at some future date. Clearly, it will have a very tough road to hoe.

OUR READERS WRITE Don’t blame CalPERs I just finished Harvey Levine’s first “Just Sayin’ column. (Feb. 2). It was refreshing to read the article that was not as bombastic as some of your other writers. While I agreed with most of the article, I did take acceptation to the paragraph regarding the information on CalPERS. I’m not sure where he obtained the number 0.61 percent. I know that about mid-month an article was posted on social media about this issue by Breightbart News. It stated the same numbers and ranted about the gas tax and registration fees going up. First, anything stated about public employees and their retirement system by Breightbart needs to be taken with a very large grain of salt. An article posted on the same social media by CalPERS (Jan. 25) noted that the gas tax and registration fees were part of the governor’s transportation program. This is to raise $43 billion for road maintenance and repair, not to make up a CalPERS shortage. While not enthralled with the idea of higher taxes let’s put the blame where it lies, the governor and the legislators, not on CalPERS. William Reed Poway
Welcome to new writer Welcome to Harry Levine and his “Just Sayin’” column. His observations are well-articulated and substantiated by research, which is a breath of fresh air considering other columnists in the paper. And thanks to him for his gentility. Levine posed an important question, "Is cheating the new normal?" It is not and we citizens, given the gift of free speech without retribution, must take personal responsibility, stand up and shout “Liar, liar, pants on fire” when appropriate. Mr. Levine is doing just that
and I hope that he inspire others like myself to do that, and continue doing that, until these lies and liars are exposed and never become the new normal. I've always admired Editor Steve Dreyer for his candid and sometimes-bold editorial stances. Now I welcome Mr. Levine and his. May we continue to be a nation, a community of truth seekers, and honor our Founding Fathers and Mothers and their values-based debate. David M. Corbin Poway
Let states decide Dick Lyles in his “Bill targets gun permits” opinion piece (Jan. 19) argues Congress should override any state law throughout America that regulates concealed guns. Most people will agree that in some states, like Alaska, it is not only the law that allows guns to be carried, it is common sense to have protection strapped to your waist in bear country. But in other states that are more urban, it may not make sense for everyone to carry guns in crowded malls, at football games and at schools. Decisions made at the state level can take those kinds of considerations into account and provide the right kind of limitations and, perhaps, prevent tragedies like that at Fort Lauderdale where a handgun was used to randomly kill vacationers in an airport. We don't need Washington to start deciding more issues that are better left to the people in each state who are closer to the needs of their citizens. Mark Longton Rancho Bernardo

Get Real BY DICK LYLES
Calexit not in the cards
S
orry, California, but secession — read Calexit — simply isn’t going to happen. It has been tried several times before. In the 1860s it caused the Civil War, and the states who tried it failed. In recent decades, a small group of Texans have tried several different approaches and — other than gaining sporadic flashes of publicity — achieved nothing. Jon Carson, director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, summed up the situation nicely when he told the Texans that the U.S. Constitution establishes “the right to change our national government,” but that it gives no right to “walk away from it.” An apology is necessary when making
such a pronouncement because the news brings disappointments to both ends of the political spectrum. People on the far left who seek nirvana in their own la la land will suffer disappointment as will the people on the right who would love to see the left coast disappear into the Pacific Ocean. But no matter the motivation or the desire, Calexit is not in the cards. Secession is another one of those political windmills that will waste needless energy while taking focus away from dealing with the important challenges and problems confronting California. The main reason Calexit won’t happen is that the U.S. Constitution lays out no legal path to succession. Four years after the Civil War, in the case Texas vs. White, the

Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 decision that the Constitution, “in all its provisions, looks to be an indestructible union.” In other words, a California referendum is completely meaningless. Although the Calexit crowd might then be able to achieve a new decision by the Supreme Court and permission from the other 49 states, it probably won’t happen during our lifetimes — or that of our grandkids. Nor should it. The glow of independence would fade quickly as this brave new nation faced harsh economic realities. For starters, California would lose a third of a trillion dollars in federal funds. This would brutally ravage public colleges and universities (maybe not a bad thing) and K-12 public schools. But it would also take money from health care, cities, counties and other state functions as well. Don’t forget, this deficit would be on top of California having to confront its own unfunded debt, which still lingers in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Would California have its own currency? If so, it would make economies like Greece and Argentina look almost robust. The economic chaos that an independent California would create would be catastrophic. The next most important challenge would be water. Getting Colorado River water will
continue to grow more challenging as other upstream entities demand more for themselves. As Colorado expands its Gross Reservoir and Wyoming, Nevada and Arizona continue to gulp more from the river and its tributaries, imagine how much more difficult it would be to negotiate water rights through treaties between two nations. It is hard enough between states. The cost of water would soar. The agricultural lands of nearby Imperial Valley would once again become desert. So as enticing as Calexit sounds on an emotional level, too many layers of complications and negative consequences exist on the practical side to allow it to happen. The solution to our differences is not secession — rather it’s to conclude there is a synergy created by our union of states, despite our differences in ideologies and beliefs. We should get in touch with this synergy, cherish it and work to generate permanent solutions to our problems in ways that improve the lives of all our citizens and our great nation.

Taking the Point Position BY ALLEN HEMPHILL
Chaos not easily managed
F
or weeks prior to the inauguration, President Trump denied that the Russians hacked the election. No one said that the Russians had hacked the election polls, but that the Russians had disrupted the process by selectively feeding information to Wikileaks and to Julian Assange. Assange denied it, and for some inexplicable reason Trump and millions of Americans took the side of Assange against our intelligence agencies. It was bizarre, and to me it still is bizarre. I wrote on many Facebook pages that the unenlightened who followed Trump down the Assange dead-end corridor were going to look stupid when Trump changed course 180 degrees. It is really too bad that one can’t go back and debate those idiots, but president-elect Trump quietly accepted that Russia was indeed involved. The TrumpBots were left out to dry by the change of direction, and were further scorched by the newly questioned Secretary of Defense “Mad Dog” Mattis, and the newly appointed CIA Director as well, both of whom said the Russians did it. Of course they did. The Russians just like to sow discord because discord weakens your “enemy.” Chaos is a wonderful tool to toss into a nation that is nettlesome to you. The Europeans are also a target for disinformation, but the U.S. is forever the main target of Russian/Soviet interference. The Russians have been doing this to us since 1935. The national press appears to credit Russian hacking with hating Hillary Clinton, but I believe the press is just overthinking it. Russia
wants chaos and certainly Trump as a president will be chaotic. He already is, and he has just been sworn in. Trump’s election forced then-President Obama to consider all sorts of things on a shortened timeline that he could have just as easily let slide into a friendly Clinton administration, from hustling Gitmo prisoners out, to commutations of current prisoners. Chaos. Hollywood has lost its collective mind. Chaos. States are making emergency plans to stop a planned attack against their sanctuary cities, and millions of illegal aliens are looking over their shoulders. Chaos. The new president is at war with his intelligence forces, although he denies it. Chaos. The proposed attorney general is causing political chaos. Now chaos can be good. In technology it is called “disruption” and it serves great purpose in shaking out old, uncompetitive businesses and technologies — just as we are closing Macy’s and Amazon is hiring 150,000 people – but a national political campaign as narrow as this one was, with the nation’s emotions involved, are, well, chaotic. From the Russian standpoint, they have been wildly successful, and they didn’t suspect the results before they began. They also may have unleashed a whirlwind, but no one knows the final results when one releases chaos. Our enemies, and Russia is chief among them, may test us early in our chaotic condition. Dangerous times ahead! Chaos is not easily managed. Reach Hemphill at ahemphill@cox.net

Laura Dorothy Fontaine November 28, 1926 - January 14, 2017
Poway — Laura Dorothy Fontaine, 90, passed away in Poway, on January 14, 2017. Born November 28, 1926, to Roy and Dorothy Stewart in oakland and was raised there along with sister, Janice. Upon graduation from oakland High in 1944, she enjoyed working in San Francisco and making happy memories vacationing in
Pinecrest. Her first husband was Ken Paulovich, a nuclear engineer and together they had 2 daughters. They enjoyed many outdoor activities and entertaining while living in walla walla and San Jose. Following their divorce, Laura married Bob Fontaine, a professional baseball scout. The new family included “his” children:
Sandy, Bobby and Ricky and “hers”: Carol and Nancy. Eventually, their “ours” daughter Lori, was added although the older kids wanted a boat instead. In 1969 the family left San Jose for San Diego when Bob became scouting director/VP for the Padres. Bob and Laura had many fun years at Jack Murphy Stadium, spring training in yuma and sneaking the kids into hotel rooms while visiting everywhere from alaska to Mexico. Laura was equally comfortable attending her daughter’s Morgan horse shows as she was with the rich and famous in the baseball world. Upon Bob’s death in 1995, Laura moved to SDCE and was a member of Ramona’s Valley Club and Episcopal Church. She found great joy just being grandma to

Poway’s Country Montessori School selected by American Montessori Society for tour BY EMILY SORENSEN Country Montessori School in Poway is one of three school in San Diego County selected by the American Montessori Society for onsite educational tours on March 9.

During the visit, participants will get a tour of the school as well as attend an onsite workshop by longtime Montessorian and music teacher Frank Leto. Students will be part of the interactive sessions with Leto and teachers and staff will assist with the tour and lunch. “We are honored to be a part of the AMS conference and to contribute to such an important event in the Montessori

Students at CMS are part of a community, not just a school. I’m excited to be able to share this community with teachers and faculty from across the world as part of the AMS tour.” CMS is in the process of launching enrollment activities for the 2017-18 school year.

Pitch limits adopted for high school baseball BY JOHN MAFFEI High school baseball will take on a Little League feel. California, which is in line with the national federation, has adopted pitch-count rules that will take effect this spring. High schools currently have a weekly 10-inning, three-appearance rule. That will stay in place. Those rules, however, have been expanded to a maximum of 110 pitches in any one outing or week for varsity pitchers. The new rules were voted into place recently at the CIF’s San Diego Section Board of Managers meeting. Like Little League, there will be mandated days of rest depending on pitch counts. “There is no question some coaches abuse pitchers,” said section Commissioner Jerry Schniepp. “But for the most part, our coaches do a great job.” Damon Chase, athletic director at Helix, has a background in athletic training and has a son playing high school baseball. “Almost every kid in high school played Little League and has seen pitch counts,” Chase said. “No one has a problem with 110 pitches. That’s not abusive. “This rule has the athlete in mind. The good thing is that this is the right thing for high school pitchers and down the road. “It’s about safety. So it’s tough to argue this isn’t a good thing.” Ken Putnam, baseball coach and athletic director at Mission Hills, is in agreement with the rule. “I can’t think of more than a time or two we’ve sent a kid out for more than 110 pitches,” Putnam said. “The temptation to overuse a kid would be on the final day of the Lions Tournament, where you could be SEE PITCH, B4
BY MICHAEL BOWER Arman Nadjafi spent three years scoring dazzling goals for the Rancho Bernardo High varsity boys soccer team. Current students, teachers and administration returned the favor all of last week by scoring goals for him. Nadjafi, a 2009 graduate of Rancho Bernardo and a former Palomar League Player of the Year, was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, according to Broncos boys soccer coach Kurt Trecker. Nadjafi is currently in his second of three cycles of chemotherapy treatment. Each cycle is three weeks long. The cost for treating cancer can be expensive and Trecker wanted to help. He organized a “Score One for Arman” event, which ran for five days last week during lunch at Rancho Bernardo. Anyone on campus was invited to shoot penalty kicks against a goalkeeper for $5 per shot. Athletic trainer Robbie Bowers pitched in by making and selling his frozen lemonade for $1 per cup. There was also a raffle with prizes. All of the proceeds went to Nadjafi. It was a huge hit, as the event raised a total of $2,500. “I have never personally met Arman,” said Broncos junior defender Chris Malham, who was manning the megaphone on Friday during the event. “But this certainly means a lot to me and it brings the school together. There are a lot of different groups of people here, taking shots and just having a good time with their friends. It really shows that we care for Arman and we take care of our community.” A few coaches from around the community showed up to support Nadjafi, including University of San Diego men’s soccer head coach Seamus McFadden and associate head coach Brian Quinn. Poway High graduate and San Diego Sockers star Kraig Chiles was

Some clubs and organizations at the school helped raise money and members of nearly every athletic team on campus attended the event at some point during the week. “This just shows me again what great kids we have on campus ,” said Trecker, who put together a similar event in 2014 for Poway resident Charlie Denny, who was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor. Denny is now a senior at Poway High. “We have great kids that want to get involved and help out a member of our community.”

Athlete of the Week
Sorano to graduate early, train for possible professional tryout
Del Norte High soccer star will soon head off to Chicago to workout
COURTESY PHOTO
Del Norte High's Antonio Sorano learned to play soccer in Rome at the age of 5.
BY TERRY MONAHAN The days as a student-athlete at Del Norte High are dwindling down for Antonio Sorano. In less than 30 days, the 5-foot-10 soccer player will graduate early and head off to Chicago for eight weeks of intense training in preparation for a possible tryout for a professional soccer team in Europe. “I’ve been looking forward to this since the age of 10,’’ Sorano said. Soccer has been the center of Sorano’s world since the age of 5 when a coach at the Southland English School in Rome, Italy, saw Sorano kicking a soccer ball around during recess. He suggested Sorano, who was born in Chicago before moving to Rome with his family, should try out for the school’s soccer team. Sorano made that team. “Something inside me told me this is what I want to do,’’ Sorano recalled. “There is something intoxicating about scoring a goal. It’s like you inhale adrenaline, like a whole new life comes into your body.’’ In Sorano’s case, that new life has been all about soccer. “There are different styles of soccer,’’ said Sorano, who is fluent in Italian and working on Spanish as well. “In Italy, soccer is more calmed down. It’s how smart you are with the ball on your feet. The game is a little slower but quality is on another level. “You always have to adapt to different teams, styles, coaches. Everyone playing the game plays the language of soccer.’’ While Sorano does score goals for Del Norte, now 7-3-5 overall and 2-1-2 in Palomar League play, his role is a bit different. He’s scored six goals, third best on the team. He’s also got seven assists, tops on the Nighthawks. “I have to be the guy the team relies on,’’ Sorano said. “ I’m more of an assister who also scores goals.’’ Sorano has already been in three professional tryouts. Two years ago, he tried out for Sampdoria in London. He admitted nerves got the best of him that time.
My life is soccer. I’m the guy who “wakes up at 3 a.m. to watch Premier League soccer on TV. ”
Antonio Sorano Del Norte High
“I was walking through Heathrow Airport, thinking it was crazy to actually be there,’’ Sorano said. The second tryout with West Ham United in West Stratford in London went better, but not quite good enough. A third tryout for Genoa, Italy, last November was the best of the three. Club officials said he didn’t live in Italy and that was a problem. Plus, Sorano got a call from Del Norte saying he’d already missed two weeks of classes and if he did not return soon he’d have to repeat senior year. He came home, at least for now. “Mom told me years ago to concentrate on one sport,’’ Sorano said. “I really thrived in soccer, so I stuck with it. On a Saturday or a Sunday, I’ve already been to the gym and taken a sauna to stay in soccer shape. My life is soccer. I’m the guy who wakes up at 3 a.m. to watch Premier League soccer on TV.’’ And he plans to stick with soccer for as long as he can. Monahan is a freelance writer

Alumni Report
PHS grad Michaels excelling on field, in classroom at USD BY TERRY MONAHAN After Poway won the San Diego Section Division I football championship in 2011 by pounding Vista 45-0, Max Michaels, then a junior fullback-linebacker, figured a Division I college scholarship was in his future. The offers would just roll in. Instead, USD was the only Division I school that was interested in a linebacker who wasn’t all that big by college standards. “I was 5-foot-9 and a buck-65 (165 pounds) coming out of Poway,’’ Michaels said, laughing. “My size meant I wouldn’t be recruited that much. “I wanted to keep playing football, but I wanted a program that would challenge me on the field and in the classroom.’’ So, Michaels chose the Toreros. Four years later, Michaels, now a 5-9, 190-pound nickel back, is a starting linebacker for USD, which won a playoff game this year and finished with a 10-2 record. And Michaels, who has a 3.93 grade-point-average in accounting, had an equally successful stint in the classroom as well. Michaels was one of 44 football players from across the nation named to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association Academic All-Star Team. “This is definitely a huge thing for me,’’ Michaels said. “I had no idea this was even happening. “I was named to the All-District Team last year and I thought that was cool.
BROCK SCOTT
Poway High graduate Max Michaels has his eye on the ball carrier during a game against Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo last season. “The Academic All-American thing came out of nowhere. When the football staff told me, I thought ‘Wow, this is a big deal.’’’ Michaels started all 12 games for the Toreros, who advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs with a win over Cal Poly, San Luis
Obispo 35-21 before suffering a 45-7 loss at North Dakota State. He ranked fourth in tackles with 55 tackles, including two tackles for loss. He also had an interception. “No one saw this season coming,’’ Michaels
said. “The playoffs was a new frontier for us.’’ Michaels was one of 40 Toreros named to the Pioneer Football League All-Academic Team. An accounting major, Michaels has secured a job at the accounting firm of Ernst & Young in La Jolla following graduation next January. Michaels worked at Ernst & Young last summer and received the job offer before football practice resumed last August. “A lot of impressive people are trying to get a job there,’’ Michaels said. “They really liked the commitment a football player brought to accounting. “I could have graduated early and missed all this. I’m glad I stayed. “I see new recruits coming around campus all the time and I tell them all the time if I had it to do all over again I would chose USD because I love the school and living in San Diego.’’ Michaels has very familiar roommates at USD. Former Poway teammates Jon Petersen and Alec Moreno have been with him since they all played Pop Warner. “Someone did the math and figured out that to play college football you have to use 2 percent of your whole life,’’ Michaels said. “It will be sad to play one more season and then graduate and start a new job. “Having a job lined up is great. I’m stoked about that and being an Academic All-American.’’ Michaels started spring football practice Tuesday. Monahan is a freelance writer

an exchange between the coaches at the end of every half inning,” Schniepp said. “Umpires will not count pitches. That is the role of the coaches.” But what if one coach has the opposing pitcher at 112 pitches and the other coach has that pitcher at 109? “If the coaches don’t agree, they’re free to protest the game, and we’ll figure something out,” Schniepp said. “The simple answer is to have a display somewhere on the field with the pitch count.” All pitch counts must be recorded into MaxPreps within 48 hours of the completion of a contest.

He won a Division I championship in 2002. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was one of his players. “I’m more concerned with how we implement the new rules,” Hargrave said. “Who keeps count? Who legislates disputes?” Schniepp said it won’t be the umpires. “The umpire’s role is to make sure there is

The calendar week begins on Monday and ends on Saturday. 1-30 pitches doesn’t require a rest day. 31-50 pitches requires one rest day. 51-75 pitches requires two rest days. 76-plus pitches requires three rest days. A pitcher may finish the current batter if he has reached the limit during that at-bat. Pitches thrown and appearances made in a “no game” — a rainout, for example — count toward the total. At the end of each half inning, the head coaches will meet and both team books will record the pitch count for all pitchers who threw that half inning. In the case of a
discrepancy, the home book is considered official. Each school must keep a record of all pitches thrown by each of their players in each game and make this available to the San Diego Section office upon request.

ENTERTAINMENT
José Feliciano to perform Feb. 18 at PCPA BY EMILY SORENSEN Latin and pop music legend José Feliciano will perform a concert at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. This concert is part of Poway OnStage’s Professional Performance Series, which includes upcoming performances from the Irish Rovers, Andy McKee and Celino Romero, Taj Express and more. Feliciano is recognized as the first Latin artist to cross over into the English music market and has been performing for over 50 years. Some of his most successful songs have been “Light My Fire,” “Che Sara” and the Christmas classic “Feliz Navidad,” which enjoys a resurgence in popularity every holiday season and is recognized by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers as one of the 25 all-time most-played Christmas songs. He has released dozens of English- and Spanish-languages albums since the 1960s, including pop, Latin and classical guitar.
DAVID BRAVO
José Feliciano One of his most recent albums is a classical guitar album of the music of Mozart, something Feliciano said no one else has ever done. Feliciano said that concertgoers can expect a “really good show.
The funny thing is, I don’t plan my shows very much (in advance), but it will be a lot of fun. I think people will enjoy it.” While he’s never performed in Poway before, Feliciano said he was looking forward to returning
to San Diego. Born blind in Puerto Rico, Feliciano and his family moved to New York when he was 5 years old. He began learning the concertina at 6 years old and eventually taught himself to play
the guitar using records as a teacher. By 23 years old, Feliciano had earned five Grammy award nominations and won two Grammy awards for his album “Feliciano!” Over his career, Feliciano has received eight Grammy awards, two in English and six in Spanish and has been nominated 17 times. Feliciano said he keeps busy touring and will be hitting the road in the United Kingdom later this year to tour with rhythm and blues musician Jools Holland. Tickets for the show range from $27 to $69, with discounts for seniors, students, military and youth available. Tickets are available at the box office at 15498 Espola Road from noon to 5 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, by calling 858-668-4798 or online at powaycenter.com. To check out some of Feliciano’s music prior to the concert, visit josefelicano.com, where his online streaming “Feliciano Radio” plays a variety of his songs.

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.

Among the blooms along the Palm Canyon Nature Trail in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is the desert dandelion.
K.C. ALFRED/U-T
Rains bring promise of spectacular desert flowers BY J. HARRY JONES The strongest winter rainfall totals to hit the desert in roughly a decade have botanists, state park officials and members of the Borrego Springs business community blooming with optimism about the spring wildflower season. If all goes well, the region could yield a spectacular bloom not seen since 1997 and 1998, two banner years for wildflowers that are still talked about with reverence in the tiny desert community. “People say it was like magic in the 1990s,” said Linda Haddock, the executive director of the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce who hasn’t seen a really good wildflower bloom since she moved to the desert almost a decade ago. “They said the valley was all purple. It was the reason people moved here back then.” Jim Dice, a botanist and the manager of the University of California Irvine Steele-Burnand Anza-Borrego Research Center, said he thinks the bloom is going to be good everywhere this year. “We’re seeing lots of germination right now,” he said. “I even saw some pictures on Facebook yesterday that somebody had taken of sunflowers that were already blooming in the wildflower fields.” Sand verbena — the delicate purple flower referenced by Haddock — as well as desert sunflowers, desert dandelions and spectacle pod (white or lavender blooms) are some of the most common flowers that could appear, though Dice said he could rattle off various other species for hours. He and the state park’s official interpreter, Dennis Stephen, however, said the weather over the next month could still greatly affect the spring bloom. If it gets hot and no more rain falls in the next several weeks, a lot of what has germinated might not emerge.
MARK BOSTER/LOS ANGELES TIMES
Spanish needles bloom (Palafoxia, arida)in the Anza-Borrego desert. “We have had some good rainfall and the western edges of the park are looking good, but we’re always cautious with our predictions because things could change,” Stephen said. “If it gets too hot that could parch the seedlings. But we do have good germination right now.” The rain can also affect when the wildflower season starts and how long it might last. “I think we’re going to see a good bloom this year,” said state Parks Superintendent Kathy Dice, who is married to the research center manager. “The hardest part is to predict when the explosion is going to happen.” “We don’t know if we’re done (with the rain) yet,” said Jim Dice. “If this is all we get then I think (the bloom) will start in mid-to-late February, but if it
continues to rain it might hold off a little bit and go longer.” Perhaps the best way for people to find out what is happening on the desert floor is to call the park’s Wildflower Hotline, (760) 767-4684, which is frequently updated. “With almost two inches of rain last month and a whopping two-and-a-half so far this month, we have the potential for outstanding annual wildflowers this spring,” the hotline recording has been saying since Jan. 24. “Seedlings are emerging everywhere, and cool, cloudy weather is allowing the ground to stay moist so we may see plants grow large before blooming. It’s still early to predict a peak, and Mother Nature could still throw us a curve ball, but statistically we expect to see flowers start to bloom toward late February and continue through late March.” Haddock said once the word gets out that a great bloom is upon the desert, people will flock to the area. Estimates of how many folks visit the park annually range from a half-million to 1.5 million. “If the flowers come, those numbers will be at the high end,” the chamber director said. Haddock points out that many of the hotels in Borrego Springs have new owners and staff and that none of them have been in operation long enough to see a truly great wildflower bloom. They are all highly anticipating not just the beauty of the blooms but the green that would follow as visitors choose to spend a night or two in town to take it all in. There aren’t many hotel rooms in Borrego, so visitors should plan their trips early, she said. “People need to be prepared,” Haddock said. “When they hear the news, the cheer ... get out here.” Harry Jones writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune

Learn about George Washington on Sunday in RB Historical impressionist will debunk myths about president BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Historical impressionist Peter Small is returning to Rancho Bernardo this Sunday as the United States’ first president. Small will portray George Washington during the Ed Brown Center for Active Adults’ “Sunday Afternoons @ 3” series. His previous performances were as the late President Harry S. Truman and the late Golda Meir, Israel’s first woman prime minister. His hour-long performance as Washington will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 in the center, 18402 W. Bernardo Drive in Rancho Bernardo Community Park. Tickets, available at the door, are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. For questions, call 858-487-9324. Small, a Costa Mesa resident, has been taking on the personas of others for his performances for more than 20 years. In addition to Washington, Truman and Meir, his repertoire includes Thomas Edison and former presidents Thomas Jefferson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He has performed across the country, including at several presidential libraries, and as part of the education program at Knotts Berry Farm. As for his Washington performance, Small said he has two versions — one geared toward adults and another toward children. He will decide which to perform based upon the audience’s demographics. “If there are a lot of children, it will be a more interactive program,” Small said. “If mostly adults, a lot of the information will be

For example, he will have them come on stage to re-enact key moments, such as Washington and his troops crossing the Delaware and an ambush during the French and Indian War. Small said he includes little facts about Washington that many are not aware of, and he shares the background for various myths, such as the cherry tree story and Washington

wearing wooden dentures. “He was a great military genius in that he could retreat and hold his army together, but he lost more battles than he won,” Small said. He said Washington’s greatest achievement was agreeing to become president and not wanting to be made an emperor. “Washington was not just elected because he was a war hero, but because he could be trusted with power,” Small said. “He could have installed himself as a king or kept the power, but he willingly gave it up to return to civilian life.” Small said he has been developing his performance as Washington for more than 25 years. He started the act while teaching at a Hebrew school in Washington, D.C. and later did it at a school in Los Angeles. At both he wanted to educate the students about an important letter on religious liberty that Washington sent to a synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, one of a few in the country at that time. Because voice and video recordings did not exist in Washington’s time, Small said he cannot use such devices when creating his performance the way he does for more contemporary figures. “I know how he looked, but not how he spoke,” Small said. Due to Washington’s station in life, he assumes the persona of a distinguished gentleman and “I speak in a more dignified manner, imagining that is how he would have talked,” he said. Small said Washington is a subject that has interested him since childhood while studying U.S. history. “I like to read and study new information that interprets or gives new understanding for a person,” he said.

Steve Martin returns to Globe with ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’ BY DIANA SAENGER The world of Paris 1904 as seen through Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” awaits The Old Globe Theatre playgoers Feb. 4 to March 12. Those who saw Martin’s previous Globe productions — the world premiere of the musical “Bright Star,” which earned five Tony Award nominations on Broadway or the world premiere of the comedy “Meteor Shower” — will not want to miss his exciting take on this classic. Back in the day, Lapin Agile was a treasured cabaret for struggling artists, comedians, writers and intellectuals. Portraying them in this cast are Philippe Bowgen as Pablo Picasso; Donald Faison as Freddy; Kevin Hafso-Koppman as Visitor; Liza Lapira as Suzanne, Countess and Female Admirer; Hal Linden as Gaston; Ron Orbach as Sagot; Marcel Spears as Charles Dabernow Schmendiman; and Luna Vélez as Germaine. Justin Long stars as Albert Einstein. You may remember Long as actor, producer, director and writer (“Dodgeball,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “New Girl,” “Ed”). “I’m a huge fan of Steve Martin’s comedy and writing,” Long said. “I enjoyed reading this play years ago, and thought how fun it would be to do it. My friend, Justin Wallman, who is part of The Old Globe, and I did a play together a few years ago, so it was an easy choice. We want to bring some happiness to this world, and I’m fortunate I can participate in some of that.” Einstein was one of several characters who strolled into the Lapin Agile where the regulars would gather and talk about their work. “I liked how Hal Linden said it was a bit like an episode of ‘Cheers,’ and if Einstein was part of that show he would be Frasier Crane because he loved to argue,” Long said. “Some of these characters end up being very important figures of the 20th century. They debate love, life and art to a heightened reality that is so fun. No one has a better ear

There are moments that are more profound and there’s a pee joke — it’s quintessential Steve Martin.” Long said he did some research about the historical figures in the play. “That research made it easier for me to inhabit the parts about Einstein’s shoes and mustache, and get an overview of his theory of relativity. I have to speak in scientific terms and see scientific abstracts in a beautiful way. I remember the character Professor Ludwig Von Drake in Walt Disney’s cartoons, and comic book characters ... that was my first introduction to Einstein, but it was a little over the top with the accents and Einstein has to be clear. There are moments in the show that are kind of like Marx Brothers-esque; the lines are very rhythmic and remind me of Groucho.” Long said he agrees that Martin’s work is forefront on the American stage, and he likes the humanity he puts forth in this script. “The way he frames ideas and stories with humor and depth creates so much meaning, and yet he keeps it funny,” Long said. “I think that’s a difficult marriage and that’s why I’ve always been a fan. Anyone with a profound fondness for art and life, and who is curious about how science figures into that, will enjoy this comedy. I find it fascinating to see these humans mix, and to imagine how they drank a beer, talked, carried themselves, sat at a bar, danced .... or tried to hook up with the same girl.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” runs through March 12 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Lobster Martini Valentine (for her)
Gustatory Gift of the Magi for St. Valentine’s Day
A
year ago, I caught up with an old friend whose daughter was just married. She told me that the newlyweds were recent graduates with modest internship incomes and tons of student debt. But they were madly in love, and would go to the moon for each other. Last Valentine’s Day, each separately planned an intimate surprise dinner for the other. Her daughter was a lobster lover, while her son-in-law a diehard carnivore. Their cramped apartment was packed to the rafters with wedding gifts, including a lobster kit with an array of silver-plated seafood tools to enjoy a crustaceous feast, and a set of gold-plated steak knives. Unbeknownst to the other, she returned the lobster kit and used the money to buy the fixings for a gourmet steak-and-caviar dinner, while he returned the knives to buy a live lobster with Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Alas, my friend’s daughter was lovingly presented with her favorite food, but deprived of the proper tools to fully indulge, while her son-in-law was served a juicy T-bone steak without the appropriate cutting utensils. This sweet love story of comedic irony reminded me of O. Henry’s classic “The Gift of the Magi.” Although a traditional
■ You’ll need: 10 ounces lobster tail meat (cooked, chopped), 6 jumbo shrimps (cooked and peeled, tails remaining), 1 cup vegetable cocktail juice, 1/3 cup tomato juice, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1 tablespoon shallots (minced), 2 tablespoons Persian cucumber (minced), 12 green pimento-stuffed olives (halved), 1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley (minced), 1 Roma tomato (minced), 1/4-cup vermouth or white wine, lemon twists or Italian parsley sprigs for garnish ■ Method: In a medium size glass bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Add the lobster to the sauce and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Evenly distribute the mixture into 2 cocktail glasses. Add 3 jumbo shrimps to the rim of each glass, and garnish with lemon twists or parsley sprigs. Serves 2.

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 en-

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 this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-06069-CA. 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.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
How much would you charge?
I
just flew in from Sacramento, and BOY are my arms tired! Sorry...I've always wanted to say that. At the airport my bride purchased a "substandard" bagel and "okay" coffee for $6.04. The same counter was selling breakfast sandwiches for $11. Realizing I’m in the wrong business, I pondered how anyone has the nerve to charge such exorbitant prices. First thought: Greed. Airport dining options are limited and most vacationers, feeling expansive, don’t bring their own food. Plus with millions of guaranteed customers, a “Take it or leave it” attitude is almost understandable. Especially since airport meals typically fade from memory before the next suitcase is packed. Then I considered my neighborhood’s gas stations. One at the freeway entrance consistently charges 80 cents more per gallon than the place across the street lacking ramp access. Given the minor differences from one brand of gasoline to another, the price differential must be caused by the convenience factor; the station's location. Economics 101 dictates something is worth only what customers believe its value to be. A bottle of cold water selling for 25 cents at Costco is worth $3 when sold on a hot day inside a football stadium. Customers willingly throw money
for the same item due to its increased perceived value. Meaning we’re witnessing the law of supply and demand in action. The gas stations, airport restaurants, and water vendors are all charging as much as their particular customers are willing to pay. You too should be looking to bestow some form of additional perceived value on your business. Like the airport, gas station, and football stadium, you may have location as an advantage. Carrying hard-to-find products, providing amazing service, or making something of significantly higher quality than the competition also helps. Or just making the experience more pleasant than the competition does might make the difference.

Poseidon Executive Chef Mourad Jamal
COURTESY OF EXECUTIVE CHEF MOURAD JAMAL
Poseidon restaurant continues to offer top cuisine in a spectacular location BY KELLEY CARLSON After nearly 40 years in business, Poseidon restaurant in Del Mar still reigns as a major force in the North County restaurant scene. The beachside establishment regularly draws the attention of diners, luring them with fresh seafood and million-dollar views from nearly every seat in the house. “No other restaurants have an ocean beach view like Poseidon,” Executive Chef Mourad Jamal touted. Ironically, when owner Tom Ranglas Sr. was first scouting locations for an eatery in 1968, he was searching in the valley of El Cajon — an area known as “The Big Box.” When Ranglas found that he couldn’t afford the high property rates there, a real estate agent took him outside “the Box” to show him a prospect in Del Mar — the Fire Pit restaurant. Ranglas acquired the needed funds, took over the establishment, and it remained the Fire Pit until it was damaged by a large storm in 1977. After repairs were made, Ranglas changed the eatery’s name to Poseidon, in honor of the Greek god of the sea. In Poseidon’s early days, the décor was SoCal casual, which some described as “funky,” with formica-topped tables and tile floors. But the restaurant underwent a renovation in the mid-2000s, and it was transformed into a dining destination with casual-elegant beach ambience. Blue-gray, brown, beige and cream are the predominant colors, representing water and sand, and Grecian design influences can be observed throughout the property. There are inside and outside patios, where guests can soak up the sun. And of course, there’s still a fire pit. The Ranglases continue to own and operate Poseidon, and Jamal notes that they treat everyone like family — staff and guests alike. “They’re the reason I’m still there,” said the chef, who has been with the restaurant since 2009. Jamal presents a sustainable menu with an emphasis on seafood. For example, he uses organic Scottish salmon for carpaccio; in salads; and in the signature Pistachio Crusted Loch Etive Salmon, which is served with roasted peewee potatoes, sautéed zucchini and citrus-pomegranate beurre blanc sauce.
Another of his featured entrees is the Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass, caught in various locations depending on the season. Jamal prepares it with a lemon pepper crust, truffle celery silk, heirloom cherry tomatoes, edamame and lemongrass beurre blanc sauce. Other prominent items include the Citrus Marinated Ceviche; Our Famous Clam Chowder with chunks of potato, served with crackers; and an array of meats, pastas and produce. Jamal also showcases his culinary skills through prix fixe menus. The Chef’s Inspiration Menu is composed of an appetizer, entree and dessert, and ranges from $40 to $50. For Valentine’s Day, guests can be treated to a four-course meal and a glass of wine or champagne for $65. Patrons seeking more casual cuisine can take advantage of happy hour specials from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are eight appetizers for $8, including Jamal’s favorite, the Pojo Burger. Larger than the typical small dish, the half-pound Angus patty is on a brioche bun, topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, chopped bacon, and melted jack and cheddar cheeses, with a side of pickles and fries. Mini tacos are in the spotlight from 3 p.m. to close Mondays and Thursdays. Diners can order them stuffed with crispy calamari, pulled chipotle pork, island jerk rubbed chicken, beef tenderloin filet or the traditional Baja-style filling for $3 each. On weekends, Poseidon expands its offerings to include brunch. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., customers can satisfy breakfast cravings with benedicts, omelettes, and Steak and Eggs, or opt for lunch-type fare that includes sandwiches, burgers, and dishes such as Sesame Crusted Mahi-Mahi Stir Fry, Beef Short Ribs Quesadilla and the Roasted Cauliflower Platter. Poseidon — at 1670 Coast Blvd. — is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

What to consider when looking for a new roof (StatePoint) Between strong winds, heavy rains, and threats like fire and natural disaster, simply having a roof over one’s head is not always enough. When choosing a strong roof designed to protect your home and its occupants, here are some things to consider:
roof replacement.
Durability
No matter where you live, it’s important that roof tiles can handle wear and tear. Ideally, roof tiles should resist curling, fading, cracking, mold, algae, fungus and insects. Roofing products that come with a strong warranty can offer you peace of mind.
Fire Prevention
Real wood shake roofs can be extremely combustible and serve as kindling for wildfires. If you live in an area with even a remote possibility of wildfires, consider investing in a roof that resists flame spread. While no roof will resist a “ground up” fire that engulfs the entire home, polymer roofing tiles that are installed with proper underlayments can help protect a home from wind-driven embers that can ignite the roof.
Other considerations
Impact Resistance
Whether you live in an area prone to direct or indirect threats of tornadoes or hurricanes, or you simply live in a region that experiences strong storms, take note: flying debris associated with severe weather can become dangerous in high winds. Damage from airborne tree branches and flying loose items can be devastating to a roof not equipped
Evaluate your roof and consider making an upgrade that will protect your house from everyday wear and tear, as well as the worst case scenario. for impact. Having a synthetic roof that has achieved the highest ratings on impact resistance tests can help protect your property. “Even if your roof has stood up to strong weather conditions in the past, it’s important to make
sure it’s still in shape before the next round of bad weather hits,” says Mark Hansen, vice president of sales and marketing for DaVinci Roofscapes, which makes high-performing polymer roofing products that have achieved the
highest grades possible on multiple industry tests. Examine the roof yourself or have a professional roofer assess for damage you may not be able to see from the ground. They can make repairs or recommend a new
Protecting your home and family should be your number one consideration. Luckily, durable synthetic roofing options abound that offer the authentic look of real wood or slate beauty, as well as environmental sustainability. For the benefits of an eco-friendly roof, it’s a good idea to seek out products that are completely recyclable and meet standards set by organizations like the Cool Roof Rating Council and the U.S. Green Building Council.
