Spirit Day, flower show coming Saturday BY EMILY SORENSEN Poway residents can provide some service to their community, and still have time to stop and smell the roses this Saturday. Poway Spirit Day and the Poway Valley Garden Club’s 35th Standard Flower Show are both being held Saturday, April 13. Spirit Day, where Poway residents can give back to their community by performing maintenance tasks around the community, begins at 8:30 a.m., when volunteers will meet at the Poway Boys & Girls Club on Bowron Road, before heading out to their assigned tasks at 9 a.m. This year’s available tasks include spreading mulch, pulling invasive artichoke plants, cleaning up and clearing walking trails, and bagging fallen lemons from a city-owned lemon grove. Parents with young children can feel free to volunteer as well, as the work in the lemon grove will be child-friendly.

Life after the shutting down of Poway’s redevelopment agency is entering a new phase as city officials begin to assess what municipally owned real estate should be kept by the city and what will be eventually sold to the public. City Council members on April 16 will take their first look at a new repor t that recommends the public sale of eight of the 49 properties that, as the result of the state shutting down local redevelopment agencies in February 2012, are now owed by the city. Seven of the properties are on Poway Road while the eighth is in the business park. The rest of the properties would be kept by the city. They include Fire Station No. 3, the Poway Sheriff’s Station, Veterans Park, parking lots serving Old Poway Park, the Skate Park, a vehicle storage lot on Kirkham Way, the Big Stone Lodge property and the community garden lot. The report also concludes that the Toyota of Poway showroom building leased by the dealer See PROPERTY, Page A27
