BONSALL – The death toll for horses at the San Luis Rey Downs Training Center affected by the Lilac Fire reached 46, according to California Horse Racing Board officials. Officials have determined that the horses perished when the blaze tore through equine country in Bonsall and heavily damaged the San Luis Rey Downs Training Center, where as many as 495 horses can be stabled. Among the horses killed was multiple stakes-winner California Diamond. The 3-year-old gelding owned by Rockingham Ranch had five wins and five second-place finishes in 14 starts, earning more than $475,000 in his career. California Diamond’s wins included the Santa Anita Juvenile Stakes, Barretts Juvenile Stakes, Speakeasy Stakes and Golden State Juvenile Stakes, all in 2016. The tragedy has prompted an outpouring of donations at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and other smaller facilities, where volunteers assisted horses and their trainers displaced by the fire. Some missing horses have not been located. “What we believe is a small number of horses escaped from a trampled-down fence to the hills,”

Fast-moving Lilac Fire leaves destruction in wake

Fallbrook Public Utility District approves water rate increase Alex Groves agroves@reedermedia.com

North County firefighters work at battling flames behind the movie theater at River Village Plaza during the Lilac Fire in Bonsall Dec. 7. Tom Ferrall tferrall@reedermedia.com The Lilac Fire, which started late morning Dec. 7 as small brush fire on the side of Southbound I-15 just south of Highway 76 and quickly turned into a firestorm that would scorch 4,100 acres, left more than 100 families in Fallbrook and Bonsall homeless and with lives turned upside down. Fueled by fierce Santa Ana winds, the fire spread so quickly many people left their homes with only the clothes they were wearing. The fire left the Rancho Monserate Country Club, where more than 60 manufactured homes

burned, looking like a war zone. “Some people’s past has probably been burned up because the fire was too fast for them to take very much out of their homes,” said San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn while addressing a crowd at a special Town Hall meeting in Fallbrook Dec. 9, “and their present is a mess and chaos and we want to help them with that.” The Lilac Fire forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate their homes the day it erupted. While most evacuees went to stay with family and friends, more than 900 people stayed at American Red Cross shelters

set up in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido, San Marcos and El Cajon. All evacuation orders had been lifted by 4 p.m. Dec. 10 with the exception of the areas suffering the heaviest losses – Rancho Monserate Country Club and the area between 5200 Olive Hill Rd. and 5800 Olive Hill Rd., where many homes and structures were destroyed. According to a report issued by Cal Fire San Diego the morning of Dec. 12, the Lilac Fire was 92 percent contained. The report listed 157 structures as being

see FIRE, page A-8

The Fallbrook Public Utility District Monday, Dec. 11, voted to increase water rates by 6.5 percent for the 2018 calendar year following a busy meeting where residents packed nearly every chair. The board voted 4-1, with Director Milt Davies dissenting, to approve the rate increase. They also approved a schedule of maximum price increases over the next five years. F P U D ’s A c t i n g G e n e r a l Manager, Jack Bebee, said that the board was only voting to increase rates for the 2018 year and that future rates for each subsequent year will also have to be voted on. He said the rates listed within the board-approved schedule function as a cap. They represent the maximum rate increase the board can vote for without having to send another letter to the public. In a letter sent out earlier this year, the board anticipated an 8 percent increase in water rates for 2018 based on the estimated cost of receiving water from the San Diego County Water Authority, but Bebee explained that using established water rates rather than estimated ones as well as implementing some cost saving measures allowed the district to propose the lower rate of 6.5 percent for this year. About a dozen people spoke during the public comment session for the agenda item and all of them either expressed concern or opposition to the project.

Supervisors waive permit fees for rebuilding of structures lost or damaged by Lilac Fire

Firefighters work to put out a structure fire along West Lilac Road in Bonsall during the Lilac Fire Dec. 7.

Walking through the devastation the Lilac Fire left at Rancho Monserate Country Club, a firefighter is ready to douse any hot spots he finds there Dec. 8.

SAN DIEGO – The County Board of Supervisors Monday, Dec. 11, voted to waive permit fees for the rebuilding of more than 200 structures that have been destroyed or damaged in the Lilac Fire. The board also extended an emergency declaration in relation to the fire. The waiver of plan review and permit fees could save residents and businesses thousands of dollars as they begin the task of rebuilding. For example, the county typically charges at least $4,200 for the review and permitting of a 2,000-square-feet house, according to a fee table. The waivers apply to structures within the fire’s perimeter in unincorporated areas and any other areas in which county approval is needed. “Our deepest sympathies go out to the residents of our county who have lost everything this holiday season,” Director of Emergency Services Holly Crawford said. Several resources are available to people navigating the recovery and rebuilding process. Residents can visit a local assistance center that has been set up at the Vista branch of the county library at 700 Eucalyptus Ave. It is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Residents may also visit www. sdcountyrecovery.com or call (858) 495-5200.

L OCAL Wildfire preparedness critical to save lives, property Kim Harris valleyeditor@reedermedia.com Here in Southern California wildfire is always a risk. But, recent fires in Murrieta and the Fallbrook area should serve as a reminder of how important it is to be ready should a wildfire occur. A good place to start is at the website, www.readyforwildfire. org, where readers can download Cal Fire’s Ready for Wildfire app. The app includes checklists with steps for everything from defensible space to evacuation plans, wildfire texts and push notifications and a fire map showing all active fires within the area. Defensible Space According to Cal Fire, in January 2005 a state law became effective that extended the defensible space clearance around homes and structures from 30 feet to 100 feet. “Proper clearance to 100 feet dramatically increases the chance of your house surviving a wildfire,” Cal Fire says. “This defensible space also provides for firefighter safety when protecting homes during a wildland fire.” According to Cal Fire, the most important things people can do is to obey this law when it comes to defensible space. “Law requires that homeowners in SRA clear out flammable materials such as brush or vegetation around their buildings to 100 feet (or the property line) to create a defensible space buffer. This helps halt the progress of an approaching wildfire and keeps firefighters safe while they defend your home,” the website reports. Defensible space is defined as the property’s front line of defense against wildfire. Creating and maintaining defensible space around a home can dramatically increase a home’s chance of surviving a wildfire and improves the safety of firefighters. Defensible space is divided up into two zones. Zone 1 should be 30 feet of “Lean, Clean & Green” area. Residents should remove all dead plants, grass and weeds as well as dead or dry leaves and pine needles from the yard, roof and rain gutters. Branches should be a minimum of 10 feet away from chimneys and other trees. Zone 2 focuses on 30 to 100 feet of reduced fuel. In this zone, residents should cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches and create horizontal and vertical spacing between shrubs and trees. Residents should also create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees. Cal Fire also recommends homeowners check with their local fire station about laws since many local jurisdictions may have more stringent requirements. For example, in San Diego County, the first and second zones in Defensible Space are 50 feet and 50 feet, while elsewhere it’s only 30 feet and 70 feet. Other tips include mowing before 10 a.m. and never on a hot or windy day. Weed eaters or other string trimmers are always a safer option than lawnmowers for clearing vegetation. Evacuation Creating a Wildfire Action Plan will help to keep residents prepared in the event they are evacuated due to a wildfire or any emergency that requires such action. This plan should be familiar to everyone within the household and should include a designated emergency meeting area, several different escape routes and information to evacuate pets and large animals such as horses and other livestock. Be sure to practice those evacuation routes so everyone is familiar in the event of an emergency. Designate an out-of-area friend or family member as a point of contact for family members should they become separated. Have fire extinguishers on hand and make sure everyone knows how to use them and ensure that

everyone in the family knows where the shut-off controls in the home are for gas, electric and water and how to shut them down in an emergency. Assemble an emergency supply kit for each person and maintain a list of emergency contact numbers posted near your phone and in the emergency supply kit. Keep an extra emergency supply kit in the car in the event that you cannot get to your home because of fire or other emergency. Emergency supply kits should contain a three-day supply of nonperishable food and 3 gallons of water per person, a map marked with at least two evacuation routes, prescriptions or special medications, change of clothing, extra eyeglasses or contact lenses, an extra set of car keys, credit cards, cash or traveler’s checks, first-aid kit, flashlight, batterypowered radio and extra batteries, sanitation supplies and copies of important documents such as birth certificates, passports, etc. Don’t forget food and water for any pets

they will not have time to knock on every door. If you are advised to leave, don’t hesitate! T h e t e r m s “ Vo l u n t a r y ” and “Mandatory” are used to describe evacuation orders. However, local jurisdictions may use other terminology such as “Precautionary” and “Immediate Threat.” These terms are used to alert you to the significance of the danger. All evacuation instructions provided by officials should be followed immediately for

your safety. Do not return to your home until fire officials determine it is safe. Notification that it is safe to return home will be given as soon as possible considering safety and accessibility. One final note on evacuation: if you are told to go, then go. Trying to save your property or sheltering in place is a foolish risk that no one should take. Remember, stuff can be replaced, people can’t.

Just Sold with Multiple Offers! 5 days on market, 3 offers, in escrow above list price.

When to evacuate Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. Don’t wait to be ordered by authorities to leave. Evacuating the forest fire area early also helps firefighters keep roads clear of congestion, and lets them move more freely to do their job.

that will evacuate with you. If time allows take easily carried valuables, family photos and other irreplaceable items, personal computer information on hard drives and discs and chargers for cell phones, lap tops or other electronic items. Cal Fire also recommends keeping a sturdy pair of shoes and a flashlight near your bed and handy in case of a sudden evacuation at night. It is also good to keep a portable radio or scanner so you can stay updated on the fire. Planning sheets can be d o w n l o a d e d f r o m w w w. readyforwildfire.org.

didn’t provide a sufficient return on investment. The Enterprise was consolidated into a zone of the North County Times. The merchants in Fallbrook weren’t happy with the consolidation, since they were paying higher advertising rates for a paper with a shelf life of a day rather than a week. The Fallbrook residents weren’t happy with the consolidation since they had to sort through news about Oceanside and Del Mar to find the Fallbrook local news. The community turned to Fallbrook resident Julie Reeder, who had publishing experience with a monthly current events paper. Julie responded with the Fallbrook/Bonsall Village News. Some community leaders didn’t expect the Village News to last more than 100 days. On Dec. 18 the Village News will have been in existence for 7,305 days. The Village News has gone through some tough times over the years; its revenue is derived largely from advertisements by local businesses and downturns in the local economy, which have happened over 20 years due to various factors, frequently cause financial struggles for Julie Reeder. Because she lives in Fallbrook she has a community interest as well as a desire to make a profit, and she has kept the paper going for 20 years. During the Chargers’ 56 years in San Diego the interest wasn’t always the only bottom line. Barron Hilton moved the Chargers from

stock to Alex Spanos. When Gene Klein decided that owning race horses would be better for his health than owning a professional football team, Spanos took advantage of a clause which gave a minority stockholder the first right at purchasing the controlling interest. Spanos lived in Stockton at the time. He was an out-of-town owner and his primary interest was money. Under the Spanos ownership, the Chargers’ local players became rarer. The occasional Kassim Osgood, Vincent Brown, and Ronnie Hillman didn’t match the volume of former San Diego State players from the previous ownerships. Owning the Chargers was always about the bottom line for the Spanos family. The community interest was not present. Village News, Inc., is now a chain. When the Riverside PressEnterprise scuttled its Temecula weekly paper, Julie recruited the Rancho News staff members and founded the Temecula/Murrieta Valley News. When the publisher of the Anza Outlook retired, he sold the paper to Village News, Inc. But Village News, Inc., is still essentially locally owned. Community interest rather than maximizing profits is still a factor in Julie Reeder’s business decisions. The Chargers, like the Enterprise, were victims of a mentality focused solely on money. The Village News is a contrast from the Chargers, and that’s why it remains as a San Diego County entity even in rough financial times.

Los Angeles to San Diego in 1961 and sold shares of stock for $3 apiece. Some of the leading minority owners had local interests and community ties: James Copley owned the San Diego Union and San Diego Evening Tribune; John Mabee founded the Big Bear Supermarket chain and Golden Eagle Insurance; and George Pernicano probably made more money from post-game meals at his Sixth Avenue restaurant than from Chargers net revenues. The Chargers were a community asset. Barron Hilton owned 65 percent of the Chargers’ stock in 1966 when an increased role in his family’s hotel chain caused him to sell most of that stock. Gene Klein became the Chargers’ majority owner, and although he lived in the Los Angeles area at the time, he eventually moved to San Diego County and became local. The local aspect under the ownerships of Barron Hilton and Gene Klein also included local players. The former San Diego State players who were with the Chargers during those years included Jim Allison, Gary Garrison, Bob Howard, Don Horn, Jesse Freitas, Dwight McDonald, and Willie Buchanon. The Chargers’ early 1970s roster even included backup quarterback Wayne Clark, who played at United States International University in San Diego. Barron Hilton maintained a minority interest in the Chargers, but in 1982 he sold some of his

O PINION

It’s been another one of those weeks. As we were making plans to celebrate our 20-year anniversary, the Lilac Fire broke out. The Lilac Fire, like the Gavilan Fire of 2002 and the Rice Fire of 2007, started the adrenaline rushing in the Village News office the minute we got the call from my son Stuart Reeder and former managing editor Debbie Ramsey that there was a fire on the 15 South and “it looked bad.” VP Paul Bandong had the first boots on the ground taking photos on scene almost immediately. Then we were so thankful for our Valley News crew that was able to step in and augment our Village News resources. Editor Kim Harris, assistant editor Alex Groves and photographer Shane Gibson all worked tirelessly from the time the fire started through the

Lilac Fire aftermath

Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) On Dec. 7, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency for San Diego County. His proclamation directs the Office of Emergency Services (OES) and all agencies of state government, including the National Guard, to provide state assistance such as personnel, equipment and facilities that may be required to combat the Lilac Fire. This action also prompted President Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide direct federal assistance to supplement state and local efforts.

weekend along with us. Forest Rhodes helped keep up the websites, Village News assistant editor Lucette Moramarco and Tom Ferrall (until he was evacuated) kept in contact with Cal Fire and North County Fire and the Sheriff’s department. Joe Naiman stayed throughout the weekend to help out. Jenna Reeder brought food to the office for us and Jacob Gandy brought us blankets. Cheyenne and Shelby Cokeley fielded phone calls from anxious readers and helped follow Twitter, Facebook and the ham radio transmissions in addition to helping keep the office running smoothly as possible. Then our internet went out! So we had to switch offices and start working from our Valley News Temecula office. We were so thankful that our Valley News crew could host us for the weekend. Those of us who have been here 10 to 20 years saw a marked difference as far as response with this fire. The response was so quick, it was apparent that the lessons learned from previous fires were used to jump on this one. I’m sure hundreds or thousands of homes were saved because of it. North County Fire Protection District PIO John Buchanan and John Choi were already out before the fire started, passing out information, including evacuation maps. Cal Fire had resources in the area ready to go because we were under a historic first Purple Warning. It was important to keep people abreast of closed streets, evacuation orders, areas where the fire had burned and available resources, but now it’s time for restoration stories. We had over 50,000 people on our websites during the fire and over 100,000 page views in addition to the Facebook traffic. We are privileged and honored to be the main communication hub for Fallbrook and Bonsall. Reporting on the fires is important, but our weekly news is crucial too. The week before we reported on the historic water rights story, the construction

FIRE

from page A-1 destroyed and 64 more as being damaged. Chief Stephen Abbott of North County Fire Protection District said 114 residential homes were destroyed in Fallbrook and Bonsall in the fire. The San Diego County Office of Emergency Services set up a local assistance center for fire victims at the Vista Library. It is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and includes staff from the Red Cross, San Diego County services, DMV, Salvation Army and major insurance companies. The center, which will remain open until it is deemed no longer needed, is also staffed with health care workers, mental health care providers and case workers. “We want to help navigate victims through the recovery and rebuilding process,” said Amy Harbert of the San Diego County’s Office of Emergency Services. “Information on recovery can be found at sdcountyrecovery.com. We also have an email address for those that need assistance navigating the recovery process. It is countyfirerecovery@sdcounty. ca.gov.” No humans died in the fire but some civilians were injured, including racehorse trainer Martine Bellocq, who suffered second and third degree burns over 50 percent of her body as she tried to rescue horses at the fireravaged San Luis Rey Training Center in Bonsall, where 46 horses reportedly perished. Bellocq was airlifted to UC San Diego Medical Center and placed in a medicallyinduced coma. Initial reports of the Lilac Fire were called in by passing motorists. At the Town Hall meeting, Cal Fire Division Chief Nick Schuler explained the situation. “We received a report at about 11:27 a.m. that we had a vegetation fire on Southbound (Interstate) 15, just south of Highway 76 along the roadway there,” said Schuler. “We quickly responded at what we consider a high-dispatch level based upon the weather conditions. Within five minutes myself, a battalion chief and resources from the North County Fire Protection District arrived at scene.” Schuler said the fire was approximately two to three acres when he and colleagues arrived and

the wind was not yet a significant factor. That changed quickly. “Within minutes wind gusts were sustained at 35 mph,” said Schuler. “At that point we began making some significant decisions.” Those decisions included getting the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to begin ordering evacuations. “After a wind shift, the fire spotted over Hwy 395 right by Rancho Monserate,” said Schuler. “Before it spotted over the freeway we placed a mandatory evacuation order not only for Rancho Monserate, but everything on West Lilac Road all the way to the school (Sullivan Middle School), including the school. We did that because we saw how rapidly the fire was growing and we wanted to give people the ability to get out.” Rancho Monserate Country Club residents received high praise from Abbott at the Town Hall meeting. “The residents of Rancho Monserate – many of them I think are here tonight – I don’t know how on earth you managed to get out of there in 10 minutes without any losses, but that’s a heroic effort,” said Abbott, eliciting a loud and prolonged round of applause. Schuler relayed how the forecast for extremely dry and windy weather had prompted Cal Fire to bolster personnel and resources prior to the fire. “We started a staffing pattern, holding people on duty and staffing additional engines and insuring that we had a surge protection of resources should a fire start,” said Schuler. “We had additional aircraft that we moved from Northern California into Southern California based upon predicted and expected weather conditions. It was key that we had that.” All the extra manpower was needed to fight a fire that traveled quickly. “Within two hours of the fire it was already 500 acres and rapidly expanding,” said Schuler. “By 6 p.m. the fire was 3,000 acres, and by the evening time it was 4,100 acres. The challenges we faced were extreme weather conditions. There was some incredible firefighting that was done based upon the conditions that they were faced with.” The fire was fought aggressively

from both the ground and air. “We placed significant resource orders for large numbers of engines and aircraft,” said Schuler. “We placed a no-divert on aircraft due to an immediate life threat. The San Diego Fire Rescue Department has two night-flying capable helicopters and in the early stages of the incident we activated an agreement which allowed us to having night-flying helicopters for the duration of the incident, which was key to our success.” Military helicopters, two Navy and two Marine, also aided in the firefight, according to Schuler. In total, 1,659 firefighters and other personnel helped battle the Lilac Fire, and 1,399 were still on the scene as of Dec. 12 helping to bring the burn area under full containment. According to Bret Gouvea, Cal Fire team 1 incident commander, firefighters from the following states helped battle the Lilac Fire: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. Abbott told the crowd at the Town Hall meeting the firefighting was “intense.” “I too need to thank our men and women of the fire department,” said Abbott. “This was intense fire. These firefighters ate a lot of fire. That’s not something we like to see happen. I can’t tell you the number of folks I saw just covered in soot head to toe and I’m concerned for their health long-term because of that.”

neighborhoods. On the afternoon of Dec. 9, deputies arrested a woman suspected of stealing from a Bonsall home on Disney Lane. The Board of Supervisors, in an effort to help people rebuild, adopted a resolution to waive building permit fees for people who lost homes and other structures in the fire. Vince Nicoletti, deputy director of San Diego County Planning and Development Services, said at the Town Hall meeting that people shouldn’t worry about the county causing any unnecessary headaches. “If you have concerns that there may be structures on your property that weren’t permitted in the past, and you’re concerned about rebuilding them, do not worry, we’ve gone through this before and we want to make it easy for you,” said Nicoletti. “We do not use fires as an excuse or as a point to make your life more uncomfortable. There are state codes and there are requirements that we have to follow, such as the California building code, but where we have flexibility we want to use it. We want to help you move forward as quickly as possible.” Horn and state Assemblymember Marie Waldron both stated at the Town Hall meeting that their offices were there to help and announced phone numbers. Horn’s office can be reached at (619) 5315555, Waldron’s district office at (760) 480-7570.

Abbott also offered his sympathy to fire victims. “A lot of you here tonight suffered a loss, and I’m so sorry for your loss,” said Abbott. “You hear about all the things that went right and it doesn’t feel like a success for you when you’ve lost something and I understand that. Notwithstanding, things could have been much, much worse.” The fire caused area power outages, road closures and school cancellations. Students from the Bonsall Unified School District were evacuated to Fallbrook High School the day of the fire. While classes at Fallbrook schools resumed Dec. 12, Bonsall Elementary, Bonsall Preschool, Bonsall High, and Sullivan Middle will not be open until after the holiday break, Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018. Bonsall West and Vivian Banks reopened Dec. 13. Livestock, along with horses rescued from San Luis Rey Training Center and the surrounding area, were sheltered at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where volunteer help and donations were in great supply. Employees from the county animal services department helped one Fallbrook man evacuate his 400-pound pig, and Sheriff ’s deputies rescued three kittens they found in a box while patrolling a burned area of Bonsall. Sheriff ’s deputies patrolled evacuated areas to protect homes and property and also conducted looting patrols of burned

Deputies arrest woman suspected of looting Bonsall home in Lilac fire evacuation area Alex Groves agroves@reedermedia.com San Diego County sheriff ’s deputies arrested a 43-year-old woman who they suspect was looting a Bonsall home in the Lilac fire evacuation area Saturday, Dec. 9, officials said. Sacheen Fawn Silvercloud was arrested on suspicion of burglary during a state of emergency and booked into the Vista Detention Facility. She remained there Tuesday, Dec.12, with bail set at $56,000, and arraignment set for Dec. 13, online jail records show.

According to a San Diego County sheriff’s news release, deputies were patrolling the Fallbrook and Bonsall areas during the Lilac fire to prevent looting. About 12:45 p.m., those deputies received a report of a suspicious person at a home in the 29900 block of Disney Lane in Bonsall, the release said. Deputies believe Silvercloud – who did not live at the home – entered it, took items and put them in her vehicle, according to officials. Vista Station detectives are still investigating the incident, officials said.

Former Faubus Farms buildings on Caltrans land lost in Lilac Fire Joe Naiman jnaiman@reedermedia.com

Some of the structures burned in the Lilac Fire were on property the California Department of Transportation acquired for the widening of State Route 76 and which had not been used since Caltrans obtained the property. The widening of the state highway from two lanes to four required the acquisition of Fabulous Horse Farm, which was known as Faubus Farms until the facility was purchased in late 2008. The structures were on a remainder parcel not used during the widening of State Route 76, and the buildings had been scheduled for demolition. The remainder parcel will be used as mitigation land for sensitive

habitat purposes. During the fire Caltrans personnel are assisting the California Highway Patrol and firefighting personnel as directed including traffic control. Caltrans is also administering its quickmap. dot.ca.gov website which notifies the public of road closures. Motorists are also reminded to travel with caution and to be aware that some intersections with traffic signals may default to flashing red lights (implementing the same rules as for intersections with an all-way stop control) if electrical power is lost to those signals. When the Lilac Fire is under control Caltrans will assess the damage to Caltrans property and will make whatever repairs are necessary.

December 14, 2017

Wildfires property tax relief announced SAN DIEGO – County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk Ernest Dronenburg advise all property owners whose property was damaged or destroyed during the recent wildfires that property tax relief is available. This tax relief program requires the reassessment of the property to reflect its damaged condition. The reduced value will remain in effect until such time as the property is rebuilt or repaired. More importantly, after the

property is rebuilt or repaired, the owners can retain their previous taxable value if the property is rebuilt in a like or similar manner. This means that the base property tax assessment will not increase beyond what it was prior to the fire. Property tax relief is available for any property damage, which includes houses and out-buildings, commercial and industrial properties, and manufactured homes. Damage to vehicles and the contents of a home such as

furniture are not eligible for this tax relief because it is not taxable. “The Assessor’s office will be proactively mailing property tax relief applications to affected property owners,” Dronenburg said. “I would also like to strongly encourage all property owners who suffered fire damage to their property in excess of $10,000 to contact my office for the necessary claim form at (619) 531-4993 or by visiting the Assessor’s website at www.sdarcc.com.

EQUINE

Luis Rey and other facilities, as well as their trainers and handlers, are being housed at Del Mar. They’ve been assisted by volunteers and donations of cash, food and supplies, said Luis Jauregui, a safety steward with the state racing board who was helping at Del Mar. “When you lose a barn, you lose everything in your business,” he said. “Horses and humans are getting taken care of.” Costco provided hundreds of pounds of apples and carrots, resulting in a surplus, and 65 mattresses came from Jim “Mattress Mack” Mcingvale, a Houston furniture store owner known for his philanthropy after

disasters, Jauregui said. The mattresses will ensure that trainers and handlers have a place to sleep while their horses are being stabled at Del Mar. “The outpouring of support from inside and outside of our industry has been truly heartwarming,” said Tim Ritvo of The Stronach Group, which owns San Luis Rey. “Together, we’ll get through this.” The Del Mar Racetrack is directing people who wish to help with the equine recovery efforts to a GoFundMe page that raised $480,000 in a day: www. gofundme.com/thoroughbredcare. Other needs include alfalfa, grass, timothy hay, bedding and shavings.

from page A-1

California Horse Racing Board spokesman Mike Marten said. “Their status is unknown.’” The effort to account for all horses has been challenging because horses and trainers frequently come in and out of San Luis Rey, he said. Some missing horses have been located, including the Sovereign Aw a r d - w i n n i n g C o n q u e s t Typhoon. The 2-year-old colt was treated for burns and smoke inhalation, according to Peter Miller Racing. More than 800 horses from San

Rainbow MWD ensured water service for fire suppression Joe Naiman jnaiman@reedermedia.com

The Lilac Fire started on property adjacent to the Rainbow Municipal Water District headquarters. Although the Rainbow office was evacuated as well as some of the district’s equipment, Rainbow personnel ensured that the district’s infrastructure was able to provide water for fire hydrants and ceiling sprinklers. “We really played a support role,” said Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy. The high winds that created the risk of a wildfire caused Rainbow to take precautions even before the Lilac Fire began. “We moved all our heavy equipment and trucks and our personnel over to the Palomar College site,” Kennedy said. (The connection of Rainbow water and sewer services to the developments on the northeast side of Interstate 15 and State Route 76, including Palomar College, has led to an agreement between the Palomar Community College District and the Rainbow Municipal Water District which allows the water district to use part of the campus property to base some operations and equipment at

the site.) The pre-fire preparations also included staff meetings to handle the scenario of a wildfire. One of those meetings had just concluded when the Lilac Fire started. “We were ready to go,” Kennedy said. At one time some fire hydrants had two outlets for 2 1/2-inch hoses. Newer fire hydrants in residential areas have one 2 1/2inch outlet and one four-inch outlet. All of Rainbow’s fire hydrants now have at least one four-inch outlet. A hydrant with one 2 1/2-inch outlet and one four-inch outlet is standard for residential areas, and hydrants for commercial buildings have a higher capacity depending on the anticipated suppression requirements in the case of a fire. While the firefighters were battling the blaze, which spread into the Rancho Monserate mobile home park, the firefighters asked for additional water pressure from the hydrant, so district staff adjusted a valve to increase the pressure. In the absence of a fire water pressure is lower to avoid overuse of the system. “While they’re running that we can increase the pressure,” Kennedy said. During the fire a water main parallel to Camino Del Rey near

Cottontail Lane broke. “We had to get out and take care of that,” Kennedy said. “We got it under control,” Kennedy said. “It was fairly shallow to get to.” New homes are required to have ceiling fire sprinklers, and many commercial and office buildings have been built with sprinklers. That requires continuous water service to those properties. Kennedy noted that the water for sprinkler systems was available although few sprinkler systems were activated. “The sprinkler requirements were fairly recent,”

California Retirement Management Account (CARMA) holds two horse shows annually which bring attention to postracing futures for retired race horses as well as funding for CARMA, and the Dec. 9-10 Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank also allowed support for the displaced horses and workers from the San Luis Rey Training Center. “We will make it a relief effort,” said CARMA vice president Candie Chew. “We felt like we could use the show to reach out to the community and kind of unite everybody,” Chew said. “The show has ended up being a good networking opportunity for the equestrian community.” CARMA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization intended to provide future careers for race horses who are retired from racing or who have been rehabilitated but can no longer race. Because those future careers involve other equestrian activities, including jumping and show performance, CARMA is involved with equestrian disciplines other than racing. Chew’s father, Richard Chew, was once a trainer at what was at the time called the San Luis Rey Downs Thoroughbred Training Center and what was called the San Luis Rey Training Center when it burned in the Lilac Fire. “This is a pretty horrific thing that happened,” Chew said. “Continuing on with the show is making it something positive,” Chew said. “Something good’s got to come out of this.” Horses and other large animals who were evacuated due to the fire have been housed at the San Diego County Fairgrounds in Del

Mar which is used by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club part of the year. Thoroughbred racing dates in Southern California are assigned to Del Mar, Santa Anita Park, and Los Alamitos by the California Horse Racing Board. Los Alamitos had the race dates during the Lilac Fire, and Santa Anita was involved in relief efforts. “It’s been incredible,” Chew said. “It’s a gigantic effort by a lot of different people.” The short timeframe between the Lilac Fire which began Dec. 7 and the Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show caused CARMA to develop preliminary plans for a relief effort as soon as the equestrian community learned that several San Luis Rey barns burned and more than a dozen horses at San Luis Rey were killed (the estimated death toll now exceeds three dozen horses). Over the next two days more specific details for the relief activities at the Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show were developed. “It makes me proud to be a member of the equestrian community. Everybody pulled together,” Chew said. “I’m glad we kept the show going.” CARMA’s next horse show is scheduled for March 24-25 at Galway Downs in Temecula. “Hopefully we’ll get some semblance of order going again,” Chew said.

the water suppliers were primarily responsible for limiting damage. “I think the firefighters did a great job,” he said. Meters are shut off if the district is aware that no water can be supplied to a property, since an accumulation of water could create problems. “Everywhere there’s a structure loss we have to turn off the water,” Kennedy said. That will require work for Rainbow in the recovery stages. “We help people restore their water as soon as possible,” Kennedy said.

he said. Rainbow staff members were also present at command centers to ensure immediate communication if Rainbow action was needed. “We had people stationed with CalFire at the headquarters and also had other people stationed at the North County Fire Protection District headquarters,” Kennedy said. “We just want to ensure we always have water services,” Kennedy said. “It was a long night.” Kennedy noted that the water users during the fire rather than

Community comes together in wake of Lilac Fire

Andrew King Special to Village News

Amidst the climate of disaster, Fallbrook, Bonsall and the surrounding communities have rallied together in an attempt to bring each other some much-needed relief. The American Red Cross responded to the Lilac Fire in Bonsall, accommodating evacuees at the East Valley Community Center in Escondido. Volunteers lined up at the front desk, eager to help those in need. Bruno Todd brought crates of Lego’s for the kids to play with in an effort to distract them from worrying about their homes. As they worked together creating little Lego toys, the children helped each other find pieces needed to complete their projects. Deyanir Belt sat with her daughter, Brianna, who worked diligently on her project. “She’s building a house,” Belt explained. The mother and daughter shared laughs while Brianna built the house, alleviating some of the stress that went with their situation. “We might have to live in this house,” Belt said as the two laughed together. Somehow the nature of simply playing together helped make light the possibly of losing their home. At the shelter, the Red Cross was well equipped to provide for all those in need. Health services personnel were present to provide medical attention. The Humane society had staff on location to care for animals and even provided crates for dogs. Boxes of extra cots, blankets, and supplies lined the walls of the gymnasium. The only amenity missing was showers. Lesley Kloby from Bonsall was on her way to pick up her son and daughter from Bonsall Elementary School, but they had just been bused to the Fallbrook Community Center. Her car broke down in the middle of evacuation, but after a series of bus rides, she was reunited with her family and dog at Fallbrook High School. The family, along with their dog, was transferred to Escondido. Vickie Strickbine from Valley Oaks in Fallbrook was with her son Alex. They talked about losing their home in the 2007 Rice Fire. “We lost everything,” Vickie said. Despite her situation, Vickie remained strong in her faith, helping to organize a prayer group at the shelter and giving praise for the dream home she was given that, thankfully, still stands today Watch an interview with evacuees and volunteer workers at the East Valley Community Center at https://youtu.be/ VCaCAZOHlrY

H EALTH

Alzheimer’s inside and out From the inside Margaret Singleton O’Leary Special to Village News

I am 77 years old and I have Alzheimer’s disease. It is a form of dementia. My heart goes out to those who have early onset of this disease. It robs us of our minds, our personalities and can eventually kill us. I am Harvard educated in biochemistry. I have a master’s degree from Yale in Chinese history and literature and an MBA in finance. I studied French, German and Chinese and remember these languages well enough. The French are notorious for ignoring Americans who do not speak their language perfectly, but they smile and accept my French even though my accent is not perfect. My husband and I moved to Fallbrook shortly before we married in September 2002. I was a chemistry teacher, a state employee, a portfolio manager and later a successful business owner and investor. You may know me from my Rotary service, my terms on the Fallbrook Senior Center board, my church and choir involvement, my volunteer work at Fallbrook High School or my candidacy for a seat on the Fallbrook Hospital District board. My friends and family sometimes ask, often in a roundabout way, how has this disease changed me? How am I different? My mind seems like Swiss cheese now. There are all these holes that thoughts fall into. I once was so good at many tasks,

but now there are many I cannot do at all. That is frustrating. I am sad about my lack of control over my own life. I cannot drive anymore. I would be a menace. I cannot handle my finances or cook. My husband has to manage my medicines and give me my pills at night. Otherwise I could overdose or forget to take them. Above all, I feel a deep sense of loss. There is sadness even though I have always been a joyful person. We have made amazing advances in medicine as far as cancer, heart disease and strokes. Few inroads have been made with Alzheimer’s. I do crossword puzzles. I still enjoy reading. My favorites are historical novels. I am now rereading Gone with the Wind. We watch movies and TV. My favorite TV show is NCIS. I understand it is the most watched TV show on the planet even though it always begins with Gibbs saying: “Dead sailor” or “Dead Marine.” I have devised my own strategy for slowing the progress of this disease. I associate as much as I can with other concepts and words to get as many of my neurons firing as possible. For example, I was watching the movie, The Brownings of Wimple Street. Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her brother were both poets. I then try to recite one of her poems. Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet. I recite some of her short poems to keep my brain active. I remember she grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, and lived her whole life without marrying.

My second favorite poet is the English poet John Donne. He wrote passionate love poetry in his youth in 17th century England. In his later years he became the vicar of St. Paul’s Cathedral. My third favorite poet is Robert Frost. When I see a rainbow, I think of its colors. Red, orange, blue, green, indigo and violet. Then I think of Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz singing “Over the Rainbow.” The tornado that swept Judy Garland into Oz reminds me of wind and sailing. And then I think about how I love to sail and how I once owned a sailboat. I then remember Mt. Desert Island in Maine, where I sailed and my first husband, Seth Singleton, and I built a cottage with our own hands. Neither of us Harvardeducated intellectuals knew what

we were doing, but the cottage still stands. When you have Alzheimer’s, it is often your short-term memory that is completely shot. I quickly forget what I had for breakfast. But then, who cares what we had for breakfast. The important thing is that I ate. One of the most important activities we do together is exercise. We try to do that at the Fallbrook Senior Center. I also can go to a Fallbrook fitness center where there is an indoor pool. I like the warm water. I am taking piano lessons from Natasha Ragland. She is patient with me with my dementia and my arthritis. She gave a concert at the Fallbrook library recently. Life is good. We will all die of something. If we live long

enough, many of us will develop dementia. Women get it more often. I think that is because we live, on average, seven years longer. I hope my death will be painless. The ganglia in the brain could reach my breathing center, and then I will stop breathing and probably die in my sleep. I am lucky. I have a wonderful life. I am blessed. I am grateful for so many things. My sons, Will and Andy. Our lovely home. Our two beautiful kitties. God bless my husband, Tim. He is much younger and a truly good and loving man. Thank you, Lord, for him. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. As edited by Tim O’Leary

Alzheimer’s disease, a doctor’s perspective

Dr. Terry Rondberg’ Special to Village News

It is believed that one out of every eight people aged 65 and older are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. By 2030 that number is forecast to increase to one in every five, and its resulting impact extends to millions of families and children of those living with the disease. Unfortunately, science has not yet found a way to “cure” Alzheimer’s, and several clinical trials of medications have failed to improve memory and other thinking skills in people diagnosed

with it, making prevention even more important for you. The good news is, dozens of clinical trials and thousands of hours of research at major scientific institutions worldwide are currently dedicated to finding the best strategies for prevention, and OMEGA Brain Health & Nutrition is actively engaged with all of this research to ensure we are constantly giving you the most up-to-date, valuable information for YOUR health. Even better news, science is starting to identify several areas suspected to be most promising, particularly for prevention.

To reduce your risks of being impacted by this devastating disease, we currently recommend focusing in the following key areas: keep a healthy, active brain, listen to music or sing, measure, measure, measure, eat the right foods and exercise daily. Keep a healthy, active brain It turns out, being bored really is bad for you! Keeping “cognitively active,” as the scientists like to call it, can be summed up in much friendlier and much more fun ways. Be more social and interact more with your friends, at work, volunteering, or anywhere else that creates a sense of connection or community. Read more books and magazines and play more games, particularly puzzle games like crossword puzzles or similar that stimulate your intellect. Visit museums, take up a new hobby, or learn new things. According to the National Institute of Health, one large observational study suggests that healthy, active activities such as these lowered the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease on average by 47 percent.

the power of music related to Alzheimer’s prevention and brain health. Music and singing can help reduce stress, reduce anxiety and depression and reduces agitation.

Measure, measure, measure Did you know we now have a way to measure brain health? It is now possible to measure focus, attention, memory, processing speed, cognitive flexibility and structural brain health biomarkers. This means anyone can perform a baseline measurement then check it periodically after taking advantage of the other tips and tricks I recommend in this article. Testing allows the patient to literally see the changes they can make to their own brain and ensure they are doing their best to prevent Alzheimer’s.

Eat the right foods Unless you’ve bee hibernating with industrial-strength earplugs in a cave for the last several years, you’ve probably been hearing an increasing amount of information about new discoveries related to food and health. It turns out, the answers aren’t as simple and obvious as the latest fad diets would have you believe. Listen to music or sing! What we are starting to learn According to the Mayo Clinic, from the latest evidence-based “research suggests that listening research studies is that specific fatty to a healthy to or singing music can provide g ansystem, Hacids dare critical elpin nervous H there are fats we emotional and behavioral benefits a e iv need more of, and there are fats for people G with Alzheimer ’s n a d s . a . . m t s i r t Chtypes disease and aother of we should avoid, some vitamins dementia.” Listening to, or may contribute to reduced risk, performing music can be a excessive carbohydrates and delightful way to stimulate your sugars may contribute to increased brain and contribute to your risk and resveratrol, found in red ongoing brain health.

Dr. Terry Rondberg seem to agree on is to eat more vegetables, specifically green leafy and cruciferous vegetables, enjoy fruits in moderation (berries containing anthocyanosides can be beneficial), increase the good fats, reduce the bad fats, reduce the number of grains and simple carbohydrates, stop smoking, and limit alcohol and caffeine. Exercise daily We all know it: moderate daily exercise can help prevent a multitude of disease, and it’s the same thing when it comes to brain health. Research suggests that consistent, daily aerobic exercise – like walking briskly for 40 minutes – may reduce your risk for dementia by 40 to 50 percent! In addition: some studies have shown that exercise contributes to lower blood pressure and keeping blood pressure to normal levels is believed to help reduce risk according to the Alzheimer’s Association. B o n u s Ti p : h e a d t r a u m a appears to be linked to future risk of Alzheimer’s too, so if your exercise merits it, wear a helmet! It’s also good to “fall-proof” your home, wear a seat belt, and, if you have children or grandchildren, keep an eye out for them as well!

The main thing is to make sure you’re in control. One serving of holiday dessert is lovely, but two or three servings means the party is in control of you. And speaking of staying in control, the place it matters most is holiday drinking. One drink too many has led to countless DUI tickets, serious accidents or even just a career disaster thanks to what was said or done at that office party. Especially if you’re normally a nondrinker or a very light drinker, don’t let the holiday spirits cause trouble. Soft drinks, a wine spritzer or just one drink slowly enjoyed throughout the party are all good choices compared to overindulging. Enjoying the holiday season while staying in control is a nice formula for a good time without creating regrets in January.

FALLBROOK COMMUNITY PLANNING GROUP And DESIGN REVIEW BOARD

holiday season more manageable is simply to do some planning. If this is a season of gift buying for your family, start making lists now of what things will do the job and stay within an affordable budget. Holiday gift giving can be fun and exciting. January credit card bills can only be depressing, especially if December spending was all last-minute impulse buying. And yes, homemade gifts and truly thoughtful gifts are always what will be the most appreciated and usually won’t break the bank. How about not letting holiday overeating be another source of guilt this year when you step on that scale in January? Most people face multiple opportunities for temptation from office parties to visits with friends and family gatherings. Each event will usually offer plenty of chances to consume too many high-calorie treats. Should you avoid all the parties and all those food temptations? Nope. That decision will just leave you feeling deprived and unhappy; instead, enjoy all your favorite things slowly and in moderation.

AGENDA as of 11/29/2017 1. Open Forum. Opportunity for members of the public to speak to the Planning Group on any subject matter within the Group’s jurisdiction but not on today’s agenda.

T-Mobile currently operates a wireless facility (windmill structure) that was permitted and constructed in the 1996-1997 timeframe on the site of the former Nickerson Nursery at 1708 Gum Tree Lane. The property ownership has informed T-Mobile that the property will be redeveloped in the future and to make plans to relocate the facility. In response, T-Mobile has been actively engaged in identifying suitable properties to relocate to match the existing network coverage footprint in the vicinity. The subject relocation parcel is located on a small triangular shaped property (APN 105-092-44) bounded by E. Mission Road to the north, Gum Tree Lane to the south and Stagecoach Lane to the east. The property is undeveloped (RC zone - Residential Commercial) with several large trees located along the southerly half of the property. Because the proposed facility location is approximately 30 feet lower in height than the existing location, T-Mobile is proposing a faux tree structure of approximately 60-65’ in order to maintain the existing coverage.

Obamacare deadline fast approaching Gordon Hopkins Rural Health News Service

Open enrollment for the A ff o r d a b l e C a r e A c t ( a k a : Obamacare) ends on Friday, Dec. 15, of this year. Previously, open enrollment lasted until the end of January, so the enrollment period for this year has been cut half. But if you miss the December deadline, you may still qualify to enroll. For example, you are eligible if you have lost your healthcare coverage. If you lost your job and your employer-sponsored healthcare plan, or you are recently divorced or legally separated or your spouse has died and you are no longer covered under your spouse’s insurance plan, you will usually have 60 days from the date of that loss to sign up. Other life-changing events may also qualify you to enroll after the

original deadline: getting married, moving, having a child, adopting a child or placing a child in foster care. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, only 5 percent of uninsured persons know when the enrollment period ends, so it seems quite likely that many of those who need to sign up with ACA for the first time will miss the official deadline. If that happens to you, don’t assume you are out of luck. While the special enrollment period is usually 60 days, you should contact HealthCare.gov or the Marketplace Call Center at (800) 318-2596 to make certain, as well as to ensure that you qualify. The Dec. 15 deadline is also important for those already on one of the ACA policies. If people do nothing, they will be automatically re-enrolled in their current plan if it is still offered. However, many

of Kansas City. This lack of insurance providers willing to participate in Obamacare has a disproportionate impact on rural areas. Currently, there are 454 counties across the country where there will be only one ACA insurer available in 2018, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Of those counties, 86 percent have fewer than 50,000 residents according to current census data. Gordon Hopkins is a native of Nebraska and a graduate of Creighton University. He is a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and has worked as a professional insurance investigator. He now writes an award-winning column for The Fairbury Journal-News.

policies will no longer be available in 2018. Someone whose plan has been discontinued will be automatically enrolled in a similar plan but premiums may have increased, and covered services may not be the same. So it is important for enrollees to verify the new policy is the one they want. As a result of insurance carriers leaving the exchanges, many counties are now left with only one insurance option. In Nebraska and Iowa, the Minnesota based health insurer, Medica Health, is now the only insurance provider available on the ACA exchange. In Missouri, 25 counties were at risk of having no carrier at all, until Centene announced earlier this year that it would fill the gap left by Blue Cross and Blue Shield

of those plans have been changed, and premiums may be higher. Once the December deadline has passed, enrollees will not be able to make changes, so they need to be sure they are on the policy that best meets their needs. There are some new, alternative plans, and some may actually be less expensive. The Trump administration authorized insurers to sell bronze plans in 2018 that pick up less of the overall healthcare cost because of lower premiums but higher outof-pocket costs. Also, despite the name, do not assume that all gold plans are more expensive than the silver plans. Some insurance carriers have pulled out of the ACA exchanges altogether.

E NTERTAINMENT ‘A Christmas Carol’, a little musical ghost story puts a twist on the classic Elizabeth YoungmanWestlphal eyoungman@reedermedia.com

Yeah, just when you think “Oh no, not another version of ‘A Christmas Carole’” along comes Cygnet Theatre doing a change up on a classic Dicken’s tale. It is fresh and fun-tastic! Hurray for them. And lucky us! ‘Cause for one thing, it is a musical. And second, there is a piano player on stage. Musical director Patrick Marion is visible throughout. In addition to his masterful musicology, he inserts a bit of whimsy along the way to London on Christmas Eve, 1843. Don’t we all recall what a curmudgeon Ebenezer is? They don’t call him “Scrooge” for nothing. Yet Tom Stephenson takes his character and owns him. (As he does with everything I’ve seen him in this year.) What a delightfully awful person he is and he does it so well. Playing opposite Scrooge is Patrick McBride as Cratchit. While he succumbs to enough banalities to writhe away from his employer’s belittling he still fosters a home filled with love for his family. McBride walks a character’s tight rope and succeeds. As one has come to expect, Cygnet artistic director Sean Murray’s compassion is showing. He has selected another outstanding cast for the complex characters fulfilled by an amazing collection of personalities. For instance, watch out for Belinda Cratchit aka Mrs. Fizziwig (Melinda Gilb), she will catch you off guard every time. Her comedic timing is without fault. Playing her partner-in-crime as Mrs. Cratchit, Belinda’s mother no less, is Melissa Fernandes. This dynamic duo is a giggle a minute. David McBean appears as the ghost of Marley as well as other

characters. While he is still close to my heart for his last performance at Cygnet, fact of the matter is, he works wonders with everything he does. Charles Evans, Jr. is charming as all-get-out as young Scrooge. And while Katie Sapper plays multiple roles, even a boy, she is best suited as Belle, because she is so pretty, delicate and talented like everyone else on stage. Behind the scenes is another cast of pros. Billy Thompson is the musical composer for this romp; Andrew Hull is the scenic designer; Peter Herman is just every where in San Diego doing wigs and make up design; Rachel Hengst is the puppet designer on this production and, as expected, the sound design was terrific thanks to Matt Lescault-Wood, coupled with Kyle Montgomery doing the seasonal lighting design with our favorite costume designer Jeanne Reith. Katie Whalley Banville choreographed the show and I’m guessing the special effects were just a part of the theatre magic. This village of resident artists pulled together another winner. A holiday pleaser just right for the whole family. Grab your out of town guests too. It doesn’t matter if you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas or even the Winter Solstice – “A Christmas Carol” is a classic story told with heart. Be sure to wear your holiday good cheer as you sit down. Carolers are in full song and a few corny holiday jokes. “A Christmas Carol” is now playing at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town at 4040 Twiggs Road. Since parking can be hard to find, plan to come early. Valet parking is an option. Multiple shows are scheduled through Sunday, Dec. 24, on Christmas Eve. For your tickets and parking information: (619) 337-1525 or www.cygnettheatre.com.

Fallbrook Union High School District

Thanks You! During the recent Lilac fire, Fallbrook High School served as an

evacuation center. This was a frightening

and heart wrenching situation for community members, many

of whom remained in our care until late

into the evening. Students from the Bonsall Unified School District were evacuated to Fallbrook High School and subsequently reunited with their families. The Fallbrook Union High School District thanks our employees and the first responders who worked tirelessly into the night to help our displaced residents. Additionally, numerous businesses and community members spontaneously and selflessly gave of their resources and time to help provide nourishment and comfort to those in need. We are grateful to: Major Market, Kahoots, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Food Pantry, Pizza Hut, Subway, Pedro’s Tacos, Walmart, Renee Unpingco, Celia and Ezequiel Ruiz, Ben and Judy Talley, Jose and Sherry Nunez, John and Barbara Smith, Desmond Young, Brian and Lakatish Burd, Ricardo Favela, Rosa Reagles, Carson Wight, Lynne Brocious, Marc Brakebill, Veronica Hernandez, Vanessa Hernandez, Rocio Sanchez, Melanie Flores, Jacob Clare and Collen Clare, Justin Quinn at First Student Transportation, Nataly (no last name), Mayra (no last name), and Coco (no last name), and many more not named. There were many more good people who helped in this effort whose names we did not get. We mean no disrespect and we thank you too.

The Fallbrook Village News

‘Wonder’ delivers critical societal lessons Ian Murdock Special to the Village News

“Wonder”, starring Jacob Tremblay, Owen Wilson, and Julia Roberts tells one of the most important stories in our world today: one that reflects the ability of people – in this case, primarily children, and young adults – to have open minds and understanding. This film’s message is critically important and needs to be heard by everyone. Often, films of this nature can be so “hokey” and mushy that an important lesson is lost. Such was not the case here, as this story was beautifully delivered on all fronts. The interaction between the family members, students and teachers was – though predictable at times – true

to life and certainly relatable. Due to his extraordinary circumstances, the film’s focus primarily revolves around the adjustment of a young boy with a physical deformity entering the school system for the first time and his monumental struggles. His spectacular portrayal contains far broader implications and lessons for our society as a whole, and the writer eloquently and subtly pounds these home. While all children face the challenges of the “normal” school environment, this boy had unusually large hurdles to overcome. His fragile, yet determined, character was hard not to love. Other secondary figures – the school’s principal, for example – had small

but meaningful roles. This film seamlessly weaved together common family trials and tribulations alongside the complex issue that their young boy

faced. While predictable scenarios transpired, this could not diminish the truth that they conveyed, nor their impact on the viewer. Though this was never a film I

R EAL ESTATE & H OME AND G ARDEN ‘Project Holiday’ educates public about potential holiday fire hazard SAN DIEGO – While most people connect the holidays with Christmas trees, festive meals, flickering lights and other decorations, far fewer of us associate these holiday hallmarks with potential fire hazards. Holiday decorations, Christmas trees, candles and cooking, however, all contribute to an increased number of home fires during December, making it one of the leading months for U.S. home fires. To help everyone enjoy a firesafe holiday season, the National Fire Protection Association is launching its annual “Project Holiday” campaign, which works to educate the public about potential fire risks during the holidays along with steps to minimize them. “By knowing where potential fire hazards exist and taking the needed steps to prevent them, people can enjoy the season’s celebrations and traditions while keeping their families, guests and homes safe,” Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach

and Advocacy division, said. The NFPA shared its holidayrelated fire statistics. While cooking fires are the leading cause of U.S. home fires and injuries yearround, Christmas Day ranked as the third-leading day for home cooking fires in 2015 behind Thanksgiving Day and the day before Thanksgiving, which ranked first and second, respectively. On Christmas Day in 2015, there was a 72 percent increase in the number of home cooking fires as compared to a typical day. Christmas tree fires are not common, but when they do occur, they’re much more likely to be deadly than most other fires. One of every 32 reported home Christmas tree fires results in a death, compared to an annual average of one death per 143 reported home fires. Also, December is the peak time of year for home candle fires. In 2015, the top three days for candle fires were Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and New

Year’s Eve. More than half or 55 percent of the December home decoration fires were started by candles, compared to one-third or 32 percent the remainder of the year. Between 2011 and 2015, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 840 home fires per year that began with holiday decorations excluding Christmas trees. These fires caused an annual average of two civilian deaths, 36 civilian injuries and $11.4 million in direct property damage. One-fifth or 19 percent of these home decoration fires occurred in December. One-fifth or 21 percent of decoration fires started in the kitchen; one in seven started in the living room, family room or den. “Project Holiday” offers a wealth of holiday fire safety tips and information for consumers, along with tools and resources for local fire departments to promote the campaign in their communities.

‘Tis the season to put up holiday decorations. And while you’re busy making your home shiny and bright, keep an eye on Fido and Kitty. Some festive holiday trimmings can make them sick or send them to a veterinary hospital. County Animal Services, (www. sddac.com/content/sdc/das.html), has nine tips on how to protect your pets so you can keep the happy in your holidays. Keep pets away from mistletoe, holly or poinsettias. They are toxic to animals. Chocolate can be toxic, too, so keep stockings out of reach and any chocolate cookies you might leave out for Santa. Anchor your Christmas tree so pets can’t tip it over. If you’ve used anything but tap water for the base of the tree, make sure they can’t drink it. Cats love to play with tinsel and curling ribbon but then they’ll try to eat it. Prevent a trip to the vet and keep both tinsel and curling ribbon away from cats or don’t use it at all. Hide electrical cords from your pets and make sure they can’t play with or knock over any candles. Set aside a quiet room. Many dogs

Courtesy photo and cats get overwhelmed with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. A quiet room allows them to escape and sleep undisturbed. Ringing in the New Year? Your dog needs a quiet, secure place on New Year’s Eve. The loud booms from fireworks can scare dogs. Some will do anything to escape the noise; they’ll run for miles and become lost. Create a safe place where they can hide out from the explosive sounds of the New Year and make sure your dog is wearing identification, just in case. Microchip both dogs and cats. They might slip out the door unnoticed while you’re busy greeting holiday visitors. If someone finds

your lost pet or pets, a vet’s office or shelter can scan for a microchip and you’ll quickly be reunited. Animal Services offers microchipping from 1 to 3 p.m. every Thursday except holidays. The fee is only $10 and includes national registration. Use your computer or smartphone and sign up for Finding Rover at www.findingrover.com. This free service uses facial recognition to identify dogs. If your pet gets lost, Finding Rover has the photo on file for anyone who may find him. For more tips, visit www.sddac. com/content/sdc/das/adopt/care/ safety_tips4.html. You’ll be able to cross pet worries off your holiday list and enjoy the season.

How to cut back on holiday waste

The holiday season is a joyful time of year. But the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day also tend to be very wasteful. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that household waste increases by more than 25 percent during the holiday season. Reducing waste come the holiday season does not mean celebrants have to forgo big family meals or beautifully wrapped gifts. In fact, there are several ways to reduce waste without spoiling the spirit of the season. • Give eco-conscious gifts. The environment may not be the first thing that comes to mind when holiday shoppers are looking for gifts for their loved ones. But giving reusable gifts can have a positive, long-term impact on the planet. Reusable coffee mugs or water bottles

can dramatically reduce waste over time, and such items make great stocking stuffers. Shoppers also can look for items made from recycled materials, which run the gamut from home furnishings to calendars to clothing, as eco-friendly alternatives to gifts produced without the environment in mind. • Reuse holiday-specific items. Many people only use gift wrap, gift boxes and gift bags during the holiday season. Such items are oftentimes discarded after Christmas morning. But these items can be reused to cut back on holiday waste. Reusing wrapping paper from year to year can be especially beneficial to the environment. That’s because wrapping paper tends to be dyed or laminated, and many wrapping papers

contain non-paper additives that cannot be recycled. Reusing wrapping paper, purchasing only recyclable paper or wrapping gifts in old newspapers or magazines can help holiday celebrants reduce their carbon footprints. • Prepare less food and donate any leftovers. The Worldwatch Institute notes that, during the holiday season, celebrants generate three times as much food waste as they do during other times of the year. Large family meals are a tradition of the holiday season, but hosts who routinely find themselves discarding leftovers can plan on preparing less food this year. Consider how much guests are likely to eat and plan meals accordingly instead of buying enough food to feed a small army. Donate leftovers to nearby

authorities. Tenants must disclose private information to their landlords during the application process: social security numbers, workplace information, and the names of their family members. While the majority of landlords are law abiding, some landlords use their knowledge of a tenant’s undocumented status to avoid their legal obligations. Statewide there have been reports of landlords threatening to call immigration authorities when a tenant complains about

shelters so nothing goes to waste. • Recycle live Christmas trees. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, 25.9 million real trees were sold in the United States in 2015. Trees put out on the curb for collection after the holiday season has ended typically end up in landfills, but some communities recycle Christmas trees each

New tenant protection law takes effect Jan. 1 SAN DIEGO – The Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) protects every person in the United States from discrimination, regardless of immigration status. The FHA prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings based on national origin and other protected classes. National origin discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently in housing because of where they came from (ancestry, birthplace, culture, or language). Sometimes procedures to screen potential and existing tenants for citizenship and immigration status may violate the FHA’s prohibition on national origin discrimination if this procedure is not applied to all potential renters. California now offers additional protections to immigrant tenants. California lawmakers recently moved to strengthen state law protections to immigrant tenants. AB 291, or the Immigrant Tenant Protection Act, prevents landlords from reporting or threatening to report tenants to immigration

year. Real tree enthusiasts can contact community officials to determine if they can recycle rather than discard their trees. The holiday season is a wasteful time of year, but there are ways for celebrants to dramatically reduce their carbon footprints between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

much-needed repairs or a tenant’s undocumented status is used as leverage when a landlord wants to evict tenants and their families. This law prevents landlords from disclosing a tenant’s immigration status and prohibits landlords from threatening, or making threats, to report tenants to immigration authorities.

Fallbrook, Bonsall home prices stay strong FALLBROOK – While real estate volume in November slipped slightly as anticipated nearing the end of the year, home prices remained strong in Fallbrook and Bonsall, Jerry Kalman, a Realtor with HomeSmart Legends, said. Average selling prices for properties in these two North San Diego County communities at $638,000 were a solid 15 percent better than in November 2016 and 2 percent above October 2017. Average market time for homes that sold remained at just over two months. “VA/FHA activity improved slightly to 31 percent of sales, while cash buyers here rose a tick to 18 percent of the transactions,” Kalman said. “Overall, only 15 percent of the transactions were at or above the original asking price, and half were on VA/FHA contracts.” In November, the average listing price of those coming off the market increased 5 percent to $690,000, foretelling of continued price strength as the year ends. He said that 57 homes came off the market in November, dropping the

total at month-end to 89 units in escrow, both of which represented decreases from October levels.

“The average selling price per square foot in these two communities dipped 12 percent to $259,” Kalman said. “Bonsall dropped 20 percent to $261 per square foot after an exceptionally strong October while Fallbrook was essentially flat at $257.” Kalman added that the San Diego County average remained steady at $376 per square foot. Kalman said that four high-end homes, three in Fallbrook, closed

Data provided by Sandicor and 10K InfoSparks in Bonsall, sold after an average market time just over a month, he said. Meanwhile, eight condos, six in Fallbrook, are in escrow. Entering December, six condos were on the market, three in each community, with an average market time approaching two months. The overall inventory for both detached and condo-styled homes decreased to 181 properties. The overall time on the market for active listings remained roughly the same as in September and October at 72 days. Kalman’s data for the reporting periods ending Nov. 30 came from Sandicor and the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, San Diego and Riverside counties’ multiple listing services for realtors. The report represents properties listed or sold by various brokers in the region. He used this information to analyze market trends and provide professional insight into real estate activity.

There are 43 high-end properties on the market, and most of them continue to be in the larger community of Fallbrook. The average time on the market for those still available is just over three months. In November, two condos, both

Update sphere of influence studies expected to get Local Agency Formation Commission approval

Building codes, clearance agreement limited fire damage

The Feb. 5 meeting of San Diego County’s Local Agency Formation Commission is expected to include the approval of a five-year schedule for updated sphere of influence studies for each of the county’s cities and special districts. A presentation on the plans to update sphere of influence studies between 2018 and 2022 was given at the LAFCO meeting, Dec. 4, and the LAFCO board members provided feedback for staff. “This is a big deal for San Diego LAFCO,” LAFCO executive officer Keene Simonds said. A municipal service review evaluates services and anticipated needs. A sphere of influence study determines boundaries best served by a particular agency. Municipal service review and sphere of influence updates are prerequisites to a jurisdictional change other than annexation of land within the sphere of influence, and LAFCO periodically conducts sphere of influence updates for all cities and special districts. “It’s also an opportunity today to start getting a little feedback,” Simonds said. The LAFCO list of municipal service reviews since 2001 includes 105 special districts as well as the county’s 18 incorporated cities, although some of those special districts no longer exist due to

In 2013 Ralph Steinhoff retired after 29 and one-half years with the North County Fire Protection District and 10 and one-half years with the County of San Diego. Those 40 years included work on updates to building code standards which likely limited the destruction during the Lilac Fire. “The building code made a lot of difference,” Steinhoff said. Steinhoff has lived in Fallbrook since 1973 and joined the Fallbrook Fire Protection District July 3, 1973. In 1986 the Fallbrook Fire Protection District became the North County Fire Protection District after consolidating with the county service area which provided fire protection for Rainbow and annexing Gavilan Mountain. Steinhoff eventually became the fire marshal for the North County Fire Protection District before he was promoted to the position of deputy fire chief. The Gavilan Fire in February 2002 and a wildfire in the Julian area later that year led to a reorganization of the county’s fire safety administration. Steinhoff joined the County of San Diego in January 2003 and was initially the county’s fire marshal before holding the title of fire services coordinator. The upgrades to county fire codes, including building codes, became a model for other jurisdictions. “We were instrumental in enacting many of the codes which became the state code,” Steinhoff said. The codes were updated when deemed warranted, including after

consolidations, and Simonds expects about 90 special districts to be reviewed over the next five years. “We’ve been reaching out to the local agencies,” Simonds said. The schedule will provide “triage” to the studies based on the level of work needed. The latest round of sphere of influence studies will include some additional information, some of which is in response to new state legislation. Joint powers authorities, which often provide functional but not jurisdictional consolidation, will be reviewed. Some areas are served by mutual water companies rather than water agencies, and the mutual water companies will also be part of the studies. “These are issues that staff will be looking to incorporate into those documents,” Simonds said. Disadvantaged communities in unincorporated areas will also be mapped in the new round of studies. “I can see the benefit of addressing this,” Simonds said. Although Indian reservations are sovereign and not under LAFCO jurisdiction, LAFCO will also study tribal land municipal service needs in case water or fire and emergency medical service from other agencies could be of benefit to the reservations. “This is a large project,” Escondido mayor Sam Abed said, who chaired the LAFCO board meetings in 2017. “It’s a lot of work.”

the October 2003 fires. “Even between the 03 and 07 fires we found that the updates to the codes were very effective,” Steinhoff said. The county approved the building of the 37-lot Olive Hill Estates development in 2015 (the subdivision was approved in 2006, but building permits cannot be issued until a final map is recorded). The Lilac Fire burned Olive Hill Estates yards and fences, but only one of the 37 houses burned. “I don’t think many of the houses that were destroyed were built under the current codes,” Steinhoff said. Mobile homes are subject to the county building code but are regulated by the state. “The mobile homes are really under control of the State of California,” Steinhoff said. The building and fire code updates weren’t the only changes during Steinhoff’s career he felt limited damage from the Lilac Fire. When he was with the North County Fire Protection District an agreement with state and Federal resource agencies was reached allowing for the clearance of brush for 100 feet in each direction from a residential structure without environmental habitat review. “You can clear a hundred feet from your home and it’s not take,” Steinhoff said. “That and the changes to the building code were the two biggest things I accomplished.” During Steinhoff’s years with the county the San Diego County Regional Fire Authority was created. The initial creation of the SDCRFA in 2008 brought

territory not within the boundaries of a public agency but served by a volunteer fire department into the county agency. The territory served by the DeLuz Volunteer Fire Department is part of the initial SDCRFA boundaries. The volunteer fire departments retained their autonomy and began working together with the paid firefighters covering those areas. Five county service areas covering fire protection and emergency medical services were brought into the SDCRFA in 2011. “At least for me it’s very rewarding that we brought forward a county fire department and they brought forward a lot of resources that made things better for this fire,” Steinhoff said. Steinhoff also considers the NCFPD emphasis on brush clearance to be a factor in limiting the losses from the Lilac Fire. “Thank goodness that North County, they’re fairly proactive in their weed abatement,” he said. Patty Koch is the current NCFPD fire marshal. “The current fire marshal’s doing a great job,” Steinhoff said. Steinhoff credits fire suppression skills as well as preventative measures. “You’ve really got to give credence to the firefighters that worked the Lilac Fire,” he said. “They’re not repeating the same issues we had in the past, either.” Since his retirement Steinhoff has served as the City of Murrieta’s interim fire marshal, and he is currently a consultant for the City of Murrieta on planning issues. “I haven’t been doing a real good job of being retired,” he said.

Cleaning ash from property and pools

SAN DIEGO – Strong Santa Ana winds may spread ash from the Lilac Fire over a wide area. The County Department of Environmental Health has the following advice for cleaning up property and swimming pools. Remember the three C’s: control, contain and capture. Control: Try to control the amount of ash particles that get resuspended into the air. Avoid using any equipment that blows ash into the air such as shop vacuums or leaf blowers. Instead, use vacuums with HEPA filters. Contain: Contain ash by gently sweeping indoor and outdoor hard surfaces followed by wet mopping with a damp cloth. Ash may be disposed of in regular trash receptacles or in plastic bags. You may also allow water from cleaning to drain into landscaping as ash will not hurt plants or grass. Capture: Protect storm drains from ash and any cleaning chemicals used while cleaning by diverting away from storm drains or recapturing. Ash is highly acidic, which is harmful for people, the environment and aquatic life. Swimming pools Do not allow use of the pool until the following steps have been completed. 1. Clean the skimmer baskets of debris and skim water surface of the pool with a pool net to remove floating debris. 2. Brush the sides and the bottom of pool to loosen contaminants. Vacuum pool. 3. Backwash and clean the filter(s). Ensure you discharge waste and wastewater into a municipal sanitary sewer only. If you are connected to a septic tank system, discharge the backwash to a pervious surface (gravel, lawn, open space) to allow for infiltration without erosion. Backwashing into the storm drain system (alleys, driveways, streets, storm drains) and creeks is prohibited by law. 4. Check pH and adjust to between 7.2 and 8.0. 5. Check free chlorine level and adjust to minimum of 2.0 ppm. 6. Ensure the recirculation system is operating properly by checking filter pressure and/or the flow meter. 7. Reopen pool to bathers only when pH levels are within 7.2 to 8.0 and the free chlorine is at a minimum of 2.0 ppm. 8. If there is a large amount of smoke and ash in the air, these steps may need to be repeated after cleaning the filters. 9. Alternatively, a swimming pool service company may be contracted to clean the pool. Check for their business license and experience in servicing pools. Pool service operators likewise are prohibited from discharging backwash to the storm drain system. Deck cleaning: Clean the pool deck and dispose of the debris with the rest of the solid waste. Don’t hose down the deck to storm drains. You may spray lightly first to minimize dust and ashes from becoming airborne, then use a stiff brush or broom to sweep up and discard into the trash. A mop and bucket could also be used for clean-up. Draining Pools: Draining of pools is not recommended. If you must drain the pool, contact the stormwater program of your local jurisdiction for guidance. In general, pool water must be dechlorinated to 0.0 ppm chlorine and have a pH between 7.2 and 8.0 if it is drained. For the latest emergency updates in English and Spanish, visit www.sdcountyemergency.com, and download the SD Emergency app at www.readysandiego.org/ SDEmergencyApp/. If you are affected by the fire and need to talk to someone by phone about evacuations, shelters, road closures and other non-emergency disaster-related services, call 211. If you are hearing impaired, dial 711 and ask to be connected to (858) 300-1211. Notice To Readers: California law requires that contractors taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor or materials) be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also requires that contractors include their license number on all advertising. You can check the status of your licensed contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800-321-CSLB. Unlicensed contractors taking jobs that total less than $500 must state in their advertisements that they are not licensed by the Contractors State License Board.

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.

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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

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.

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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Warriors run Legionnaires off court Tom Ferrall tferrall@reedermedia.com

The Fallbrook High School basketball team appeared to be practicing layups during the first quarter of its game against Bonsall High School Dec. 6, and the easy hoops propelled the Warriors to a commanding lead they would maintain to the final buzzer. Host Fallbrook led Bonsall 25-5 after the opening quarter and went on to post a 71-27 victory in the first varsity basketball game between the two schools. Bonsall scored the first points of the game on a three-pointer but would only score only two more points (a pair of free throws) the remainder of the first quarter while being hounded by an aggressive Fallbrook defense. The Warriors, capitalizing on their size advantage and quickness, drove to the basket for layups seven times in the opening quarter. Sophomore Joel Calhoun had three

layups and a three-pointer to lead Fallbrook in first-quarter scoring with nine points. Fallbrook sophomore Cooper Sherman had two layups in the opening stanza and was fouled hard on another attempt. He made both free throws to tally six points in the quarter. Fallbrook began the second quarter with a 12-0 run to open up a 37-5 advantage. Junior Tommy Martin made a running jumper from short range and had a layup during the run, and teammates Sherman, Calhoun and Marquai Rudolph (two) also scored on layups during the sequence. Rudolph put together a series of nice plays in the second quarter when he made a steal and went the length of the court for one of his layups and then added a blocked shot. Crisp passing and good ball movement led to many of the Warriors’ layups. “We’re still learning but I was

very happy with how the ball moved in the first half,” said Fallbrook head coach Ryan Smith. “We did a good job of running our offense. It was our best offensive output of the season so far.” Smith acknowledged the Warriors don’t have a “big man” to post up in the key, so the offense is going to have to create opportunities to get to the basket. “Right now we’re trying to spread the floor out and give guys driving lanes,” said Smith. “We want to play fast and get a lot of shots up.” Fallbrook did just that against Bonsall and three players finished with double-digit scoring totals. Sherman led the Warriors with 17 points, Calhoun had 14 and freshman Yoni Villagram had 12. Defensively, the Warriors applied good pressure throughout the game against Bonsall. “We did some good things

NOTE: Fallbrook, 1-4, had to cancel its Dec. 8 game against Mission Vista due to the Lilac Fire, which also prevented the Warriors from practicing until Dec. 12 due to poor air quality.

The first match of the 201718 season for Fallbrook High School’s girls water polo team was tied at seven goals apiece before Rancho Buena Vista scored to give the Longhorns an 8-7 victory Nov. 28 at The Wave in Vista. “We ended up losing a close one,” said Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond. The Warriors trailed by a 3-0 margin at the end of the first quarter, and the Longhorns increased their lead to 4-0 during the second period. Between the final two minutes of the second quarter and the end of the third quarter, Fallbrook scored seven straight goals for a 7-4 lead. The Longhorns, however, staged their own comeback, scoring all four of the fourth-period goals. “They had a couple of quick goals and we just weren’t able to recover from it,” Redmond said. Only six of this season’s 14 varsity players were on the 201617 Warriors team that won its third consecutive Valley League championship and had an overall

record of 16-13, including a firstround win and a quarterfinals loss in the CIF Division I playoffs. Only three of last season’s starters are on the current team. “They definitely learned a lot from it,” said Redmond of the season opener. Although the Warriors allowed the Longhorns to overcome a three-goal deficit, Redmond noted that his team overcame an early four-goal deficit. “Overall I was happy with it,” said Redmond of his team’s performance. “I thought we did a great job. We can compete with them.” Rancho Buena Vista’s previous game was also a loss in the CIF Division I quarterfinals, and the 2016-17 Longhorns had a 16-11 overall record. Redmond considers pre-league games and tournaments to be preparation for Valley League and CIF playoff competition. “We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us but fortunately we’ve got a lot of time between now and the end of February,” said Redmond. “I’m looking forward to it.”

“It’s fun to watch them grow up now,” Barrios said. Barrios was the Sullivan boys coach for the 2016-17 season. “He’s good at that development,” Walker said. The Fallbrook Union High School District hired Barrios as the girls head basketball coach in June. During the fall sports season he also coached sixth-period basketball at the high school. “He’s familiar and knows all of our kids,” Walker said. A total of 28 girls tried out for the Warriors’ basketball program. The numbers did not warrant both a freshman and a junior varsity team, so Barrios and junior varsity coach Jeff White kept 16 players on the junior varsity as well as the twelve varsity girls. “I didn’t really cut anyone from our program at all,” Barrios said. White’s full-time job is as a Sullivan Middle School math teacher and he also coaches basketball at Sullivan, so Barrios helps with the junior varsity program, which has long-term benefits as well as relief for White. “ We ’ r e t r y i n g t o g e t a continuity,” Barrios said. The girls who played for Fallbrook in earlier seasons include Jessica Ramirez, who will be one of Barrios’ varsity assistant coaches. “I have a phenomenal assistant coach,” he said. Ramirez graduated from Fallbrook High School in 2014. She was part of the Warriors’ basketball program for four years and spent her final two seasons on the varsity. “I think it’s so good to have a young woman coaching the team that’s been in their shoes,” Barrios said. “She’s an asset.” The other varsity assistant coach, Dan Bachman, was the Warriors’ head girls basketball coach from 2010 to 2016. “He’s done this for a while,” said Barrios of Bachman. “It’s nice having him there with that experience.” Bachman is also an on-campus coach and will be able to handle issues involving the school. “I’ve got a great staff,” Barrios said.

High School sophomore and plays on the basketball team when she is healthy. His 12-year-old son, Robbie, is currently in seventh grade and is homeschooled. “I’ve coached a lot of youth programs,” Barrios said. “Joe’s a Fallbrook guy, coached club for a long time,” said Fallbrook High School athletic director Patrick Walker. “He has the background, the qualifications to take us to new levels.” Barrios, who turned 50 on Dec. 2, was 13 when his family moved from Eugene, Oregon, to Orange County. The University of Oregon is in Eugene, and before Phil Knight’s Nike dollars upgraded the entire Ducks athletic program Oregon was primarily a track and field and cross country powerhouse. “I grew up running,” Barrios said. Barrios was an age group state champion while running in Oregon, as were his brother and sister. He ran cross country and track at University High School in Irvine before graduating in 1985, and he also wrestled for the Trojans. He was in a basketball spring league at Santa Monica Community College, although not on the school’s basketball team. Barrios also played basketball in a spring league rather than on the intercollegiate team at Long Beach State University. “I’ve been playing ever since,” he said. In the early 1990s he played for a city team in a Mexican league. “It was an opportunity to keep playing,” Barrios said. “Just an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” Barrios did not receive a salary when he played for the San Miguel de Allende team, but all of his expenses were paid. He spent about six months with the team and was one of two Americans in the league. “It was an interesting opportunity,” he said. The Barrios family moved from Fountain Valley to Fallbrook seven years ago. Barrios coached the Sullivan Middle School girls team from 2013 to 2016 and guided the Wildcats to two championship banners in his final two seasons.

Joe Barrios wasn’t too disappointed about losing his high school basketball coaching debut Nov. 28. The Fallbrook High School girls varsity team Barrios coaches has no returning starters from the 2016-17 team, few varsity players who were on the floor for any of last season’s games, and a majority of players who have not yet finished 10th grade. The Warriors were playing at El Camino but kept the margin of loss to single digits in the Wildcats’ 49-40 victory. Fallbrook’s junior varsity squad obtained a 22-21 win over El Camino. “There’s a big difference between coaching a team and building a program,” Barrios said. The 2016-17 varsity included 15 girls. Three of the six players who were on the floor for the most minutes were seniors and the other three are no longer at Fallbrook High School, so Barrios had no returning starters and only six returning varsity players, including some who did not appear in a game last season. This year Barrios is carrying 12 players on the varsity consisting of three seniors, two juniors, and seven sophomores. “It’s a talented group,” Barrios said. “There’s a lot of fight in these girls.” Tony Morrow was Fallbrook’s coach last season, and Barrios initially expected to be one of Morrow’s assistants for the 201718 season. “The plan was to help Tony and participate here and there,” said Barrios. Barrios coached the sixth-period physical education basketball program in spring 2017. Morrow was an on-campus coach and when his duties with the high school’s college and career center expanded, he stepped down from the basketball program. “The opportunity came up this year,” said Barrios. “I decided to throw my hat in there. I felt I was the right person for it.” Barrios has two children. His daughter, Riley, is a Fallbrook

Fallbrook High School’s girls field hockey team finished its season Nov. 11 with a loss to Del Norte in the first round of CIF playoffs. The girls ended with a 2-4 league record and an overall mark of 3-17. Though the season had its rocky times, varsity team co-captain, senior Victoria Russell, said of the team, “One of our strengths was the ability to look forward after tough losses and continue to progress.” And progress it did. Fallbrook finished league play with a 3-2 overtime victory against Valley Center in its senior night game, a victory many girls considered to be the highlight of the season. “We played our hearts out and it felt really great to win,” said sophomore Maiya Romero of the senior night victory. “I think most of us were crying,” said Russell. “It was so surreal.” This year’s team was a young one with five sophomores, a junior and only four seniors, so practices included a lot of skill building and situational play. “This season, we focused a lot on stick skills and small game play in order to apply it to the larger game,” said senior Ashlie Lackey, team co-captain. Russell added, “Being on varsity just means putting all the basics to the test.” With all the practice came great improvement. Lackey noted, “One of our team’s strengths was stopping our opponents from scoring on defensive corners.” Over the course of the season the

girls developed close bonds with one another. They always managed to have fun on and off the field and the memories they shared were some of the girls’ favorites. This was the farewell season for the four seniors and Romero said they’ll be missed. “I will definitely miss all the seniors because they made this season so much fun and still cracked jokes through all the sweat and tears,” said Romero. The feelings were mutual as Russell said of her younger teammates, “I will most definitely miss seeing their cute, smiling faces and all of the crazy bus ride concerts.” Lackey added, “This team has taught me to have fun even when the games didn’t fall in our favor.” The returning girls have already started looking forward to next season when they hope to finish with a better record with their now more experienced players. Lackey noted a point of improvement the girls will need to work toward next season, “Fallbrook’s team will have to focus on their defense as all four of our seniors played some type of defensive position,” said Lackey. Romero, one of the sophomores who will be retuning next season, commented, “I’m excited to help the upcoming players learn the game and take what the seniors have taught us this year about leadership to encourage them.” With all of this enthusiasm, the girls figure to improve upon the successes they had this season and look forward to an even better season next year.

We want to thank all the fire agencies, North County Fire, CalFire, The Fallbrook Sheriff ’s Substation, the volunteer sheriffs, law enforcement and fire agencies from several western states, the ham radio operators, the ladies at the Rainbow Conservation Camp and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and all the people who did what they could to help their neighbors and their animals. There’s still a lot of work to do and we promise to continue to do what we can to communicate those needs and connect our community. Sincerely, Village News

Stina Harboe Grimm, 62, went to heaven on October 30, 2017 surrounded by family at her Fallbrook home. Stina was born to Jens and Ellen Harboe in Indio, Calif. Stina and her siblings spent long desert days hiking, climbing, and exploring the mountains of Pinyon Crest. Evenings were often filled with live jazz music and dinner parties hosted by her talented mother and charismatic father. Stina graduated from Indio High School and went on to attend both UCLA and SDSU, graduating with a degree in child development. She would later receive her teaching credential, teaching at Zion Lutheran School and substituting throughout the community of Fallbrook, Calif. While at UCLA, Stina met the love of her life, Craig Grimm. Stina and Craig were married for 38 years and raised two children, Kirsten and Erik. Stina was dedicated to raising her children in a household of love, faith,

kindness, and joy. Stina was the consummate host (some might even call her a “domestic goddess”) cooking and entertaining for friends, family, school activities, team dinners, charities, bible studies, and tailgates. Her hospitality was one of the many ways she showed love, making each person feel like the guest of honor. Stina lived love. She filled the lives of her friends, family, and strangers with her infectious smile, sense of humor, and positivity. She had a servant’s heart, was an excellent listener, and a friend to all who met her. For a number of years, Stina led a weekly bible study with over 200 women through Community Bible Study (CBS). Her leadership at CBS cultivated wonderful friendships, influenced many, and had a profound impact on her walk with God. Stina’s strong faith was a source of support throughout her two year courageous battle with liposarcoma cancer and gave her a sense of peace that surpassed human understanding. Stina let God’s love and peace shine through her in the most trying of times, bringing others closer to Him. Stina is survived by her husband Craig, her daughter Kirsten, her son Erik and daughter-in-law Traci, grandchildren Avery and Harli, her mother Ellen, her siblings Peter Harboe, Poul Harboe, and Ria Shaw.

B USINESS Hass Avocado Board names 2018 executive committee and board members MISSION VIEJO – The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) announced its annual passing of the baton with the election of a new executive committee, including a new chairman, after the Secretary of Agriculture (USDA) Sonny Perdue’s appointment of new board members to the HAB Dec. 6. Chairman Chris Henry from Del Monte Fresh Produce is stepping down after two years of service in this role, and will be replaced by Scott Bauwens, a California producer of Hass avocados from Paradise Grove. HAB is grateful for the service and commitment of outgoing chairman Henry for his outstanding leadership and dedication over the past two years as chair, preceded by three years as treasurer. California producers who were recognized for their service to the board over the last three years included Bob Schaar (BobKat) from Rancho Los Lobos in Fallbrook. Looking ahead to 2018, the board will continue to support the vision laid out in its five-year

strategic plan aimed at being the catalyst for fresh avocados being the number one consumed fruit in America and industry stakeholders being successful. The board is responsible for ensuring the plan’s strategic priorities are met, including building demand, nutrition research, supply and demand data collection, quality, sustainability and industry engagement. Other executive committee positions have been assigned to: vice chairman Jorge Hernandez, importer; treasurer re-elect Laurie Luschei, producer; and secretary re-elect Javier Medina, importer from Mevi Avocados, Inc. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as chairman of the board, and am committed to ensuring the priorities outlined in the five-year strategic plan are being upheld,” said chairman Scott Bauwens. “I am confident our board and staff has the talent, experience and commitment to achieve the goals of driving sustainable demand and consumption of fresh avocados in

Postal Inspectors offer mailing tips to secure holiday shipments FALLBROOK – This holiday season, the Postal Service looks forward to delivering a great deal of holiday cheer along with more than 15 billion mail pieces. Consumers trust the Postal Service to deliver secure and economical shipping options. The Postal Inspection Service, the federal law enforcement arm of the Postal Service, is working around-the-clock to keep residents’ important shipments safe and deter mail and parcel theft. In addition, they’re offering 10 secure shipping tips, that provide options to help ensure that important packages reach their destination, and brighten the lives of friends and loved ones this holiday season. If anyone notices an unfamiliar vehicle following behind the USPS truck or unknown persons loitering around mailboxes, they should immediately report the activity to their local police department and then call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at (877) 876-2455. The package they save may be their own. Anyone who feels that they are a victim of a crime involving the mail, may submit an online complaint, by visiting www.USPS. com, and selecting the Postal Inspectors link at the bottom of the page (https://postalinspectors. uspis.gov). Ten ways to protect 1. Avoid sending cash by mail. Checks and money orders are safer than cash and may be cancelled or reissued in the event of theft. 2. Don’t leave delivered mail and packages unattended. Just as wallets and purses shouldn’t be left on the front seat of an unlocked car overnight, mail and packages shouldn’t be left uncollected in mailboxes or on front porches for any length of time. 3. Consider an alternate shipping address. Customers can arrange to have packages delivered to neighbors who are home during the day or get packages delivered at work, if permitted. 4. Change the package’s address – while it’s in transit! Customers who know they won’t be home when their package is delivered can try USPS Package Intercept. Prior to delivery, most domestic package shipments can be redirected back to the sender, to a new address or to the Post Office to be held for pickup. 5. Customize the delivery. If the package doesn’t fit in the mailbox and the customer won’t be home to receive it, the customer can provide delivery instructions online and authorize the carrier to leave it in a specified location. Visit usps. com, enter the tracking number and select “Delivery Instructions”. Customers can also request their packages be left with a neighbor or held at a Post Office for pickup.

6. Plan ahead. Ship using “Hold for Pickup”. When shipping packages, customers can choose the “Hold for Pickup” option and the recipients can collect the packages at their local Post Office. For customers receiving packages, they can redirect incoming packages to their local Post Office by selecting “Hold for Pickup” using USPS Package Intercept. 7. Going out of town? Hold mail at the local Post Office. Instead of risking leaving a package unattended for an extended period of time, customers planning on being away from home for a few days are encouraged to take advantage of the Request Hold Mail service. Letters and packages will be held securely at the local Post Office until the customers return. 8. Secure the shipment using USPS Signature Services. Signature Services help ensure the package ends up in the right hands by requiring a signature at the time of delivery. 9. Choose the most secure form of delivery. For the most valuable packages, customers can opt for Registered Mail service. Registered Mail receives special handling from the time it’s mailed until it’s delivered, documenting the chain of custody. 10. PO Boxes might be the answer. Customers concerned about the security of their mail can consider renting a Post Office Box at their local Post Office. The mail remains secure within the Post Office, accessible only when using the right key or combination. Many Post Office lobbies are open 24/7, allowing customers to retrieve mail on their schedule.

the U.S.” Three additional members and seven alternates were chosen to serve. Appointed board members include Susan Pinkerton, producer from Strata Holding, LP; Ben Van Der Kar, producer from Pinehill Ranch; and Sergio Chavez, importer from Prometo Produce. New alternate positions include Bob Schaar (BobKat). For more information, visit www.LoveOneToday.com.

The exterior of Gershon Bachus Vitners in Temecula Valley Wine Country exudes the feeling of a Tuscan villa. Owner Christina Falik said she and her husband were inspired by the Italian countryside and wanted to create something similar locally.

Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Talking a stroll through Gershon Bachus Vitners in Temecula Valley Wine Country feels like being at a Tuscan villa, with its rolling hillsides and rustic looking tasting room, but it isn’t just the scenery that makes a trip there feel like a vacation: The pace in the winery’s tasting room feels slow and relaxed as people sip their wine and make conversation. The winery is the creation of owners Christina and Ken Falik, who were frequent visitors to Italian wineries for business and were inspired by those experiences. “When we found our little piece of paradise up here that’s when we said we won’t have to go and get that thing anymore because we can create it here,” she said. “It’s that agro-business thing you get when you’re in a winery that’s just this feeling, this thing that dominates your persona.” Christina Falik says many of the visitors who come to the winery are regulars who find it the perfect spot for meeting with friends or business acquaintances. Many bring their canine companions with them to the dog-friendly spot. Regulars may know which varietals of wine they like, but there’s an individualized process for people who have never visited Gershon Bachus or who are new to wine tasting in general. “We have a seated tasting room and our wine educators, which includes the winemaker on the weekends, are here to take you through the wine journey,” Falik said. “It’s not just sticking your glass in and trying to get a sip of something, this is really taking you on a journey through our portfolio so that our guests can appreciate what they love about wine.” Guests can rate which wines they liked and which they didn’t as they’re tasting and that will help Gershon Bachus staff to find the perfect fit. “Everybody has a different kind of flavoration in their own palate,” she said. The winery offers a minimum of six wines on their tasting menu for members of the public to try,

A recently completed pond is one of the sites in the outdoors space Alex Groves photos where Gershon Bachus holds weddings.

but they also have limited quantity wines available to members of their wine clique. The most basic wine clique packages start at $150, and give guests the opportunity to get four bottles of wine, three times a year, and two free tastings. Some of the wine clique exclusive wines that became recently available are the 100 percent estate varietal Cabernet Franc and Anteros, which is a blend of Cabenet Franc and Zinfandel. Winemaker Dakota Denton described the Cabernet Franc as “jammy” and says it has notes of cherry and boysenberry with a dry chocolate finish. The Anteros retains a lot of strong fruit-like characteristics of the Zinfandel, but the dry cocoa finish of the Cabernet Franc. Among the publicly available wines is the winery’s one white, the Euphros Roussane, which has a touch of oak and aromas of apple, pear and apricot on the nose. The winery also has four 2010 vintages of Cabernet Franc. One of the vintages is 100 percent Cabernet Franc whereas each of the other three are mixed with 5 percent of another wine such as zinfandel, grenache or syrah. Denton said that even the addition of 5 percent of another wine can change the flavor profile of the Cabernet Franc and that’s something guests can learn about when they come in. “All of the wines that are starting to come into fold that Dakota has finished and done his magic on are just over the top extraordinary wines,” Falik said. “And our vines

are now 10 years old so just by nature itself it brings us into another plateau of making fine wine.” The winery also doubles as a wedding venue in the spring for 25 days a year. They recently completed a large water feature that adds to the outdoor ambience. “We have still have many open dates for people who are still looking for their wedding venue,” Falik said. “It’s a very private affair and we do close our tasting room.” Falik said the winery is working on getting its own barrel room in the coming months. “We hope to have our barrel room up and running prior to the beginning of the first wedding,” she said. “That will allow our membership to be able to go and pick up their wine. We don’t really do tastings on those days, but they’ll still have access to pick up their bottles.” The winery is not just a great place for the budding wine explorer, but also their pooch. Gershon Bachus is dog friendly and you can often see Falik’s two dachsunds, Russ T. Longfellow and Frank E. Sinatra, at the estate. “We say we’re dog friendly for socially involved dogs,” she said. “We prefer that if people have dogs that are not socialized with other dogs that they not come in because we can’t control that, and we want to avoid any kind of incident happen because the dog is not socialized.” Gershon Bachus Vitners is located at 37750 De Portola Road in Temecula.
