San Diego County agency declares regional drought over Asks state to lift conservation mandates BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors has declared an end to the drought in the region, citing heavy local rainfall and snow in western mountain areas. According to the water authority, precipitation at San Diego's official

reporting station at Lindbergh Field is 172 percent of average at this time. Statewide snow-water content is 193 percent of average, while the snowpack in the Colorado River Basin -- where San Diego obtains some of its water – is also well above normal, the SDCWA reported.

RB church to host ‘Souper Bowl’ food drive Donate food or money through Feb. 12 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The “Souper Bowl” is returning to Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church this weekend. The 16th annual local food collection drive — officially running through Feb. 12 — is timed to coincide with the Super Bowl on Sunday. The food drive is part of a nationwide effort that was inspired by a prayer said in 1990 by a seminary intern at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina. Brad Smith reportedly said, “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat,” according to the national organization. The Souper Bowl of Caring food drive, held in conjunction with the Super Bowl, has since spread nationwide. Last year, $10,521,796 in cash and food items were collected nationally by 6,897 participating groups, which helped 5,138 charities, per the souperbowl.org website. Shelly King, coordinator of the RB church’s food drive, said last year it collected 5,833 food items and raised $3,638. Its involvement over the last 15 years has resulted in a collection of 69,465 food items and $50,640. Everything donated through the church’s project is divided among two charities — Presbyterian Urban Ministry in downtown San Diego and Interfaith Community Services in Escondido. King said the bulk of non-perishable food and monetary donations will come in during the weekend. Community

The church is at 17010 Pomerado Road. Those unable to make it over to the church this weekend can also leave their donations at the church’s Welcome Center between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 12. In lieu of food, cash and checks can also be sent to the church or dropped off. Checks need to be written to “RBCPC” with “Souper Bowl” on the memo line. Cash is to be in an envelope with “Souper Bowl” written on it. Mail donations to RBCPC, 17010 Pomerado Road, San Diego, CA 92128. King said that during last weekend’s church services the congregation received

reusable bags to fill with food. Those who would like to pick up a bag they will return filled may stop by the church to request one. Or they may bring food over without a bag and just place it in the designated bins. She said this is a multi-generational project at the church, with several ministries and groups involved. This includes its Carpenter’s Fellowship, preschool, middle school ministry, Arabic congregation and Boy Scout Troop 680. King estimated it will involve 60 to 70 volunteers doing various tasks. King has been involved with the Souper Bowl project for seven years. “I really enjoy volunteering and this is one of the things I can do,” she said. “On a day when we (as a nation) are consuming mass quantities of food, this is a way to give to those that don’t have regular meals.”

St. Bart’s names music, liturgy director St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church announces the appointment of Nathan Costa as director of music and liturgy. Costa, who has served as St. Bartholomew’s interim director of music since last July, will also lead the liturgy team at the Poway church. Rev. Mark-McKone-Sweet, St. Bartholomew’s rector, said “Nathan will continue to build St. Bart’s recognition for exceptional music programs for our church and our community. Our music enhances our clergy, staff and member response to God’s call to spread the good news to all people. We are proud to welcome Nathan to a community where ‘All are Welcome. No exceptions.’” Costa’s music and educational experience includes his most recent position as organist and choirmaster at St. Andrew’s School and coordinator of liturgical music at St. Joseph Parish, both in Middleton, Delaware. In addition to his musical role at St. Andrew's, Costa served as academic dean, director of studies, girls’ basketball coach and taught in the Department of Classical Languages for 17 years. He directed and led the St. Andrew’s Choral Scholars on their performances in the U.S. and on concert tours to Cuba and Eastern Europe. Costa received his B.A. in classics from Yale University, majoring in Latin. He earned an M.A. in liturgical music and M.A. in theology with honors from St. John's University School of Theology.

Nathan Costa Costa said, “I have enjoyed getting to know the clergy, parishioners and, most of all, the talented musicians at St. Bartholomew’s during my interim period. I look forward to building on the tradition of great music at St. Bart’s with enhanced programs, including a choral ministry for children and youth.” He is also directing the Great Music Series at St. Bartholomew’s to showcase guest artists. Artists interested in the church choir or performing in other music programs can contact Nathan Costa at ncosta@stbartschurch.org. St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church is at 16275 Pomerado Road in Poway.

PUSD Board of Education discusses ‘safe haven’ resolution BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Unified Board of Education took steps at the second January regular board meeting on Tuesday night to make sure parents and community members know their rights when it comes to the protection of student records. Board members began discussing the possibility of issuing a “safe haven” resolution at the Jan. 17 meeting. At the time, the board members were divided on moving forward with the issue, so it came back at Tuesday’s meeting as a new business item for discussion. This discussion was spurred on by a Dec. 21 letter from State Superintendent of Education Tom Torlakson that urged all districts to support public schools remaining safe havens for students and outlined what exact student records it provides to law enforcement agencies. In his letter, Torlakson mentioned several school districts issuing safe haven resolutions and said he supported this. Student board member Ella Smith presented the members of the board with a letter she wrote on the issue, aimed at educating parents and community members on existing laws to protect student records and show that the district stands by its commitment to ensure the safety and well-being of its students. Five members of the community spoke Tuesday on this issue, all urging the district to adopt a resolution. Several said it would

show that the board members care about student safety and that a resolution would provide a sense of security for students and their families. The board members agreed that Smith’s letter should be posted on the district’s website after some minor tweaks. A link to Torlakson’s letter will be included with Smith’s letter, to help parents more easily find the information on student records collected by the district. Board Vice President T.J. Zane said Smith’s letter took into consideration the feelings he expressed about the issue at the Jan. 17 meeting and that Smith’s letter removed “politically charged aspects” from Torlakson’s letter that he found disagreeable. Board member Kimberley Beatty said she would like to see the bullet points from Torlakson’s letter that detail information about student records inserted into Smith’s letter, but the board members eventually agreed on linking to Torlakson’s letter. Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff suggested adding in more about how this affects parents of students coming on campus, saying that this especially applied to the upcoming LCAP forums, as this year they will be held on each school’s campus. O’Connor-Ratcliff said that she wants parents to feel safe in coming on campus and attending meetings there. The board was not in agreement over SEE PUSD, A6

FROM PUSD, A4 Sellers’ suggestion of going forward with the safe haven resolution. Sellers presented the board with a drafted resolution. At the Jan. 17 meeting, the board split on the issue of the resolution, with O’Connor-Ratcliff and Zane saying they didn’t feel the need for a resolution. O’Connor-Ratcliff said she didn’t want to issue resolutions outside of what board policy states, as it could lead to some groups feeling left out and marginalizied. Sellers pointed out that the board members had passed a resolution to make the week of Feb. 6 through 10 “National School Counseling Week 2017” earlier and didn’t see a difference between passing that resolution and a safe haven resolution. O’Connor-Ratcliff said she personally supports the resolution, but it isn’t supported by board policy. Board policy does not forbid resolutions of this nature, but resolutions like the safe haven resolution are

not addressed. Sellers said the board’s policy on resolutions might need to be “freshened up. This issue has become more pertinent in the last two weeks since we last discussed this,” said Sellers. “It’s no longer looming, but very real. There are many in the community who want to know where the board stands (on this issue).” Zane said he believed Smith’s letter covers what the resolution set out to do and was not in support of a resolution. The board agreed to put the resolution on the agenda for the Feb. 14 meeting as an action item after Darshana Patel said she didn’t think the resolution would set a precedent and that it wasn’t the same as recognition resolutions or awareness for causes. She also said she would be interested in working with Sellers to tweak the resolution before it is submitted to the district. Sellers said he would be happy to take community input on the resolution.

Experts share trends, predictions for housing market BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A higher demand for turn-key-ready homes is one of the trends for the local housing market, which is projected to experience an uptick in sales this year, experts say. “The trend going forward is for houses to be move-in ready when selling,” said Mark Marquez, a broker/owner with San Diego Association of Realtors and Pacific Sotheby’s International. “Houses that get top dollar are done.” Marquez, along with Craig Brown, a divisional vice president with Skyline Home Loans, and Erik Bruvold, president of the National University System Institute of Policy Research, spoke at the Jan. 26 Insights forum. The North San Diego Business Chamber event that focused on the economic impact of housing and real estate in 2017 was held at the Radisson Hotel in Rancho Bernardo. According to Marquez, the local market at the end of 2016 had a homes for sale inventory of 1 1/2 months, when the ideal is three-to-six months. This was a 25 percent decrease from 2015. “The reason why we have low inventory is that those selling have to move up or out (and they aren’t),” he said. The average days for all properties on the market was 33 days, a 15 percent decrease from 2015.

In addition, the way income sources are judged — such as for the self-employed, retirees and business owners — causes additional hurdles. “It’s a very sound lending environment, a great solid base for the housing market,” Marquez said. The trend, according to Marquez, is to remodel one’s home instead of moving to a larger one, but the concern for those in the industry is that more move-up buyers are needed to drive the market. As for new construction, there has been an emphasis on fulfilling the needs of extended families and

multi-generations. While unemployment is at a “very healthy” 5 percent locally, Marquez said only 26 percent can afford to buy a home in San Diego. That is lower than the 31 percent who can afford to buy in California. The national rate is 57 percent. “Nearly 10 percent of all homes sold in 2016 sold for more than $1 million,” he said, adding the buyer profile is for those in biotech and engineering, the groups “driving this market.” He added that Silicon Valley’s high costs have “priced out” home buyers so many companies are looking to

San Diego as “a very affordable” alternative. As for investment properties, he said they are requiring a larger down payment — around 20 to 30 percent — in order for cash flow to be correct based on current rental pricing. For this reason, he said investors have been turning toward purchasing condos over single-family homes, due to their comparable affordability, and they “rent just as well,” especially in the local area due to the Poway Unified School District’s reputation. “Condos, once thought inferior, are now becoming the standard,” he said, adding part of this shift is due to more mixed use development in urban areas and downtown San Diego “booming” with integrated mix. Single-family homes have seen their value rise, while demand has been “holding steady.” He said new homes in the Poway district priced in the $700,000 range are seen as an “affordable alternative” to those in Carmel Valley that can easily be $1 million. “What’s happening locally is that you can enjoy very affordability compared to the rest of the county and provide an amazing school district.” For this reason, more young families are moving to the area from communities such as Pacific Beach and Point Loma. According to data complied by the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors, in 2016 there were 24,250 single-family (detached) homes and 12,720 condos or townhomes (attached homes) sold. The latter was a 3 SEE HOUSING, A19

Good-Natured Gardening BY CLARENCE SCHMIDT

Did you know?

oth my fortune cookie and my crystal ball garden orb say that 2017 will bring much enjoyment. Starting off, my cookie was stale and my orb rolled down the street and was last seen in Glendale. I’m not buying another one. Anyway, just like last year, there is no better place to find a myriad of pleasures and problems than your own yard. Gardening takes skills, dedication, good looks, a boatload of luck and an IQ somewhere in the stratosphere. Actually, I just made that up. All it really takes is a shovel, a backhoe and an experienced gardening crew. Maybe some dirt. Here are some totally… well, somewhat … fascinating facts that you may not have known: - Rain brings moisture to the soil. By a show of hands, how many people knew this? Raise them higher. Wow, 99.4

percent. Excellent. We got that IQ part out of the way. - Did you also know that soggy soil provides insufficient oxygen for plants? Generally, plants prefer oxygen over death. Avoid the ooey gooey (not an official botanical term). Some simple solutions: Sell your house. Don’t overwater. Install a drain. Build a streambed of rocks or gravel. Start a swimming pool. Build a raised bed. Move your downspout. Plant water-loving plants like ferns or moss or moisture-loving ground cover like Spiderwort, or shrubs like Southern Wax Myrtle or holly. - To repel ants, plant lavender or sprinkle cayenne pepper around your plants. Lavender also repels mosquitos. - For maximum sun exposure, it helps to plant your garden so your rows run east to west. Plant the shortest plants on the south side of the garden and the big boys (corn,

sunflowers and redwoods) on the north side where they will not cast a shadow. - The “hardiness zone” is the climatic region that best suits a particular plant. The coldest zone is 1 and the hottest is 11. When buying plants from gardening catalogs, read the description for each plant closely. The print will be microscopic so dust off your personal Hubble telescope. In many cases, it will show something like: Z: 4-6. Poway is Hardiness Zone 9. Buying a plant outside of our zone might leave you disappointed with the plant’s success. - According to PlantforaFuture.org, “There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90 percent of our food.” Only Bear Grylls, chief plant eater on TV’s “Man vs. Wild,” has tried all 20,000. - The secret to a great garden is the soil.

amounts of organic materials, such as grass clippings, old leaves or compost will help nourish your garden. - According to the University of California Integrated Pest Management Program, there are over 200 species of grasshoppers in California. They like lettuce, beans, corn, carrots, onions and some annual flowers. “Grasshoppers are among the most difficult insect pests to manage in the garden. Adult grasshoppers can live two to three months; they die out when food becomes scarce or when the weather becomes too cold.” Birds love to snack on them. Bacterial diseases and parasites also kill grasshoppers. For the less squeamish, (Warning: some mental images may be disturbing) they can be handpicked and squashed. Covering the plants with a protective screen will also help. So will advanced military weaponry. The best strategy is to repeatedly treat the grasshoppers with an organic insecticide. Yes, 2017 will be an exciting year. Maybe it will be the year the Supreme Court will finally rule on “tomato” vs. “tomahto.” Schmidt is a Poway resident with more than 40 years of gardening experience.

San Diego adopts recreational marijuana rules (CNS) - The San Diego City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved regulations for recreational marijuana operations in San Diego in light of voter passage last November of state Proposition 64. The city has a couple handfuls of medical marijuana dispensaries, which are expected to convert to selling the drug for recreational use. The state measure, backed by San Diego voters by a wide margin, immediately legalized possession, transport, use and transfer of marijuana for people 21 years old or older. It also immediately allowed personal indoor and outdoor cultivation of up to six living marijuana plants at a private residence. The new state law also provides municipalities with the authority to regulate marijuana-related activities and to subject such enterprises to zoning and permitting requirements, city officials said. Land use regulations will be similar to the rules imposed on medical

marijuana dispensaries, with some modifications and additions. Recreational marijuana outlets would be permitted in the same zones, require a conditional use permit, and be required to maintain similar security requirements and separation distances from places like residences and schools. There would also be no more than four such businesses allowed per City Council district. The main point of contention among the council members and public was over the supply chain, as city staff recommended a prohibition on cultivation, processing, testing, storage and distribution of marijuana and marijuana byproducts. “This ban would require us to purchase all wholesale product from outside the San Diego County region,” said Phil Rath, who represents some of the legal dispensaries operating in the area. “Effectively it will be shipped long distance.” Between extra costs and taxes, the price differences

between legal and illegal dispensaries would be “quite large” and lead to further proliferation of pot shops operating outside the law, Rath said. The council's action called for staff to continue reviewing the supply chain issues and return within nine months. The permitted dispensaries can continue with cultivation and distribution until those issues are resolved. The council also modified a ban on outdoor residential cultivation to allow it in secured exterior structures, such as greenhouses. Council members last week extended a moratorium on new recreational marijuana businesses from 45 days to a full year. The temporary ban was designed to give city officials time to develop applicable laws, and will be rescinded once the regulations take effect. Various parts of the local law will take effect at different times because of needed reviews by outside agencies. Commercial licenses won't be issued by the state until next year.

The new market should be open by the end of the year, Hussein said Tuesday. Javdani was not available to comment on his new business, but Hussein said plans call for market representatives to reach out to the local international communities to determine what groceries they’d like to see the store stock and what foods should be featured in the small, sit-down restaurants. The Albertson’s store closed in 2015 and was part of an ambitious effort by the small Haggen chain to expand into California.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer

FROM ECONOMIC, A1 luncheon that typically draws a mix of business representatives and government officials. Faulconer is San Diego’s 36th mayor, in the office since March 2014 and now in his second term. His stated goal has been to create “One San Diego,” defined as “a unified city with inclusive city government that creates opportunities for San Diegans and delivers results for every neighborhood.” Before mayor he represented District 2 on the City Council for more than seven years, chaired the council’s Audit Committee and worked to restore the city’s credit rating and repair its credibility with investors, according to his bio. Maienschein has represented the 77th Assembly District since 2012 and is now in his third term. His focus has been on improving California’s education system, providing students the tools they need to succeed and

making college more affordable. He has worked to promote economic growth, protect jobs, support small businesses and help military veterans and their spouses. He has also supported legislation to help children, adults with disabilities and the homeless. Prior to the Assembly he represented District 5 on the San Diego City Council from 2000 to 2008, according to his bio. Lindsey was commissioned in 1986 and became a naval aviator the following year. He completed three deployments to Antarctica and two deployments to the Arabian Gulf. Other assignments included service on the Joint Staff; commander of the Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet; the U.S. European Command; executive assistant to the assistant secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment and commander of Naval Base Coronado. He assumed command of Navy Region Southwest last September, according to his bio.

serving two terms on the City Council (2000-2008). She also served as San Diego’s interim mayor for almost five months in 2005, between Dick Murphy’s resignation and Jerry Sanders’s election. In addition to Atkins sharing her plans for representing the 39th Senate District and answering audience questions, Robert Gallo from the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol in Rancho Bernardo will talk about what the organization does to assist the San Diego Police Department and community.

The Assembly passed such a bill in 2008, but it was vetoed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. •Approving a letter to the Westwood Club board, encouraging it to allow Waterbridge vehicles to be parked overnight in its upper parking lot. • Deciding whether to host a free community presentation, geared to adults, on cyber safety for kids; a workshop on defense of the home and a workshop on what burglars say are the biggest deterrents. • Appointing a resident to fill the vacant District D seat (Swim and Tennis area), if someone comes forward.

According to the water authority, San Diegans used 17 percent less water in the final seven months of last year, compared to the same period in 2013 -- the year used as a benchmark by the state. Since 1990, per-capita water use in San Diego County is down 40 percent.

EDITORIAL

Time to officially end the drought But every drop of water is precious THUMBS UP to the San Diego County Water Authority board for declaring last week that the drought is over in our region and approving a resolution calling on Gov. Jerry Brown and the State Water Resources Control Board to rescind statewide emergency water-use regulations for areas of California that are no longer facing a drought. While mostly symbolic, the authority’s position is backed by clear evidence that the region no longer needs state mandates. The county is in excellent shape to handle water supplies needs, thanks to its diversification of water supply sources and above-average precipitation both in Northern California the Colorado River basin. If the state removes conservation mandates, it must not trigger back-to-“normal” water habits locally, however. We live in a desert and must always keep in mind that every drop of water is precious. THUMBS UP to Poway High School football coach Damian Gonzales, who has announced that he is stepping down after 13 years of leading the Titan football program so he can spend more time with his wife and three children. The Titan varsity team captured section championships in 2007 and 2012 under Gonzales, who compiled a 108-63-1 record as a head coach, including four years at the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad. He will remain Poway High’s athletic director. THUMBS UP Del Norte High School special education teacher Megan Gross for her selection as a 2017 National Teacher of the Year finalist. For the past four years she has worked with students in the school’s Autism Spectrum Disorders program. Gross previously earned countywide and statewide teacher of the year honors and will learn this spring whether she wins the national honor. THUMBS UP to the Westview High School Junior ROTC cadets and Poway Sea Scouts who spent a stormy Saturday on Jan. 21 filling sandbags at Poway’s three distribution sites. Their efforts were much appreciated by residents. Over the six-day storm period the city distributed 20,000 bags and provided 180 tons of sand. THUMBS UP to Rancho Bernardo High School head athlete trainer Robbie Bowers for his quick action in administering chest compressions and other medical assistance to an elderly man who had a heart issue during the Jan. 20 boys’ basketball game. He was assisted by Westview High athletic trainer Christina Sherr, an intern from San Diego State and others. An automatic external defibrillator (AED) was used and the man was revived after about 30 seconds.

Just Sayin’ BY HARRY LEVINE

Liars, gamers and cheaters Editor’s note: This week we introduce Harvey Levine as a new monthly political columnist. Levine grew up in New York state and moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1999. He is a retired project management consultant who has published three books and 300 technical papers. He runs the concert series at the Rancho Bernardo Library and serves on the boards of the Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library and the Poway Symphony Orchestra Foundation. He describes himself as a political moderate.

ith the hubbub of a 24-hour news cycle and overnight Tweets, my brain has been on overload trying to take it all in and choose a topic for my initial piece as a regular monthly columnist. Putting aside current issues, I am turning to something of a more overarching nature: the persistence of extreme cheating by both individuals and organizations of prominence. Numerous incidents in just the past month could have been lost in the clutter of other news of great importance, had they not been so egregious. We have liars and false news mongers. We have braggarts of gaming the system. We have serial cheaters. All of these, in their various incarnations of cheating, damage our institutions and lessen our trust in a just society. In just a few days, we learned about more “clean air” abusers (Fiat Chrysler) and Volkswagen again, cover-uppers (Tanaka air bags), alleged public fund thieves (Rep. Duncan Hunter), foreign spies (Vladimir Putin), liars and gamers (Donald J. Trump) and many others suspected of twisting the truth, gaming the system or outright cheating. And topping all this was the disclosure of the second systemic cheating scandal at Wells Fargo. These are not misjudgments or sloppiness. These are deliberate actions aimed at cheating in

various forms, aimed at taking advantage of others, executed by leaders of industry and public service. Wells Fargo was the shiny star of the banking community. Volkswagen, the “people’s car,” has forever lost the trust. These are not the errant deeds of a few low-ranked individuals. What is happening at the highest level and its frequency has shaken my confidence in everything and everybody. I am not alone. Add to this the ease with which our public institutions have let us down by malfeasance and closing their eyes to the facts. Regarding the San Diego municipal pension system, regulators deliberately ignored the figures (showing a deficit in funding for pension obligations) and increased the pension obligations. We’re still struggling to get out from under the burden of this plunder of our limited tax dollars. Look at the state pension system, CalPERS. How, in a year where a blindfolded monkey throwing darts could pick an investment portfolio that returned 6 to 10 percent, could its high-paid investment experts come up with only a 0.61 percent gain? And now Gov. Jerry Brown wants drivers to make up the shortage. I feel cheated. Perhaps cheating has become acceptable because of the lack of punishment. Why do we let VW sell cars in the U.S. anymore? Why is Duncan Hunter still in Congress? I sold my Wells Fargo stock after the first cheating scandal. But why, even after the second scandal (opening false insurance accounts) hasn’t the stock lost value? Cheaters used to succeed because they weren’t caught. Now they’re being caught and still escaping without penalty. Bill Belichick is still coaching in the NFL after numerous questionable acts. So how can we fix this? For starters, let’s do away with incentives that encourage people and SEE LEVINE, A15

www.pomeradonews.com

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - FEBRUARY 2, 2017 - PAGE A15

FROM LEVINE, A14 companies to cheat. Such programs encourage and reward superior performance. But almost all have the unintended consequence of promoting undesirable behavior. People somehow focus on the narrow scope of the reward structure, neglecting the essence of the real objective. It’s similar to the “teach to the test” educational environment that has effectively narrowed learning to the subjects that are measured and rewarded. Enhanced performance is a desirable objective. But measurements and incentives must reward the wider results. As children, many of us were given incentives to be good. Now we have incentives to be bad. We can also institute a system of ombudsmen. These independent officers of the state or other jurisdictions would enable whistleblowers to discreetly and privately pass on information about cheating without endangering their livelihood or perhaps their life. We can be certain, in this day of audits, emails, surveillance cameras and cell phones, that little can happen without being noticed. But with the danger of personal repercussions and the likelihood that the perpetrator will go unpunished, there is no incentive to report such transgressions. Is cheating the new normal? Can we do something about it? What do you think? Reader comments are encouraged. Send letters to editor@pomeradonews.com.

Au Contraire BY AMY ROOST

Second chance to vote

came from a woman, just the same as you. In 1965, this strong and loving woman, a housewife and mother of three living in Deerfield, Illinois, put down her apron, got on a bus to Selma, Alabama, and risked her life marching across the Edmund Pettis Bridge with thousands of other 1960s “radicals” to be counted and have her voice heard. All my life, I’ve felt both proud and burdened by this detail of my mother’s life. Proud because she stood courageously on the right side of history and yet burdened because even though I’m an activist, I’ve never, like her, put everything on the line - including her marriage - in order to speak my conscience. I began to unburden myself at the Women’s March on Jan. 21. I put down my pen, picked up my “pitchfork” in the form of a

homemade sign and followed my convictions downtown to be counted and heard among the 40,000 San Diego voices raised as one in defense of justice for all. I couldn’t help but think about mom during the march. If she was alive today she would be 90 and would have been right there with me and my husband marching, our voices raised. I also know the exact sign she would have carried, the same sign a 94-year-old woman I spoke with was carrying. It read, “I can't believe I'm still protesting this s---!" In case you weren’t at the march, it wasn’t just middle-aged and senior women, wearing our symbolic pink hats and strutting our righteous indignation. It was a young Caucasian co-worker of mine marching on behalf of the future of her 2-year-old adopted

black daughter whom she carried in her arms. It was the LGBTQ community flying rainbow flags. It was thousands of men, many of them holding signs that read “I’m with Her” with arrows pointing in every direction. It was blacks protesting the criminal justice system, Muslims protesting religious intolerance and LatinX protesting the hate unleashed by a president who depicts them as rapists and drug addicts. It was the helping professions, psychologists, nurses and educators. It was those who somehow survive on a minimum wage, food service workers, students and home health aides. And, yes, it was even Republicans with a conscience who marched. The mood was jovial and respectful - I saw more than one police officer along the route hugged and thanked - yet deadly

serious. We were, after all, standing up for essentially the same basic principles that my mother and Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for: that all people be treated equally and with dignity. There is a rising tide of mistreatment and discrimination in this country. Many who recognize it weren’t at the march because they don’t see how they, as one person, one voice, could possibly make a difference. These are the same people who didn’t vote because they either didn’t think their vote would matter, or because they were duped into believing that Hillary Clinton was the equivalent of Donald Trump. The fact is, if Hillary Clinton were president today, many would be unhappy with her policies, but democracy would not be circling the drain. The good news is we have a second opportunity to vote. This time with our voices and our feet. This time, not for Clinton, but for the survival of all we hold dear. It's time to unburden yourself. It's time to put down your apron, your remote control, your smartphone, your blinders and get on the bus. The same exact Freedom Bus - now old and rickety, yet still running - that my mother rode to Selma all those years ago. Roost is a former Poway resident who lives in Encintas.

There were 45 teams in the contest. Their Salamander City entry included designing a slide show with SimCity software, writing an essay on the power of public space, building a scale model of the city while using mostly recycled materials, and presenting their ideas to a panel of judges. The contest had students imagine, research, design and build cities of the future through the engineering design process and project management.

The median price last year of a single-family home was $560,000, a 6.5 percent increase from 2015, while the median price of condos and townhomes was $370,000, a 7.2 percent increase from the year before. In terms of dollar volume, the region’s single-family home sales totaled $17.8 billion (a 9.2 percent increase from 2015), while condos and townhomes had a dollar volume of $5.6 billion (a 9.9 percent increase). As for how this translates to selling price per square foot, Marquez said detached homes were going for $361.81 per square foot (a 10 percent increase, year over year — the 2015 figure was $328.21 per square foot) and attached homes were at $367.66 per square foot (a 7 percent increase, year over year — in 2015 it was $342.35 per square foot). He added that the amounts are influenced by area, with the Poway area going for mid- to high $300 compared to the downtown area where some units are going for $500 to $600 per square foot and some “ultra luxury” units priced at more than $1,000 per square foot. Marquez said additional costs must be factored in, such as HOA fees in this area being $300 to $400 per month, while downtown they can be $500 to $1,000 per month. Brown explained the correlation between mortgage rates and interest rates for various funds. “The different rates are driven for

different reasons,” he said, adding inflation and expectation of inflation are factors. Brown said mortgage rates, which were at a recent low of 3.42 percent, were at 4 percent on Jan. 20, 2016 and 4.3 percent on Jan. 20, 2017 and are not likely to drop again. “We will not see them again lower in our generation unless there is another financial crisis that brings the world economy to its knees,” Brown said. He said federal rates and yields did not rise as much as predicted last year and that trend is likely to continue in 2017 despite upward bumps after the election. Brown said his forecast is for steady growth, rising wages and “a good, bright future in housing” because psychologically it is seen as “a good investment.” Bruvold said locally pulled building permits have not been as robust as economists would like, estimated around 10,000 to 12,000 in the coming year. As for nationwide consumer sentiment, he said it has been a “tumultuous time” since the election, but there was a “clear uptick in November and December.” There has been a “real tightening” on job openings over the last three months and continued pressure on the feds to “get in front of inflationary pressures,” he said. Bruvold said the challenge to San Diego is the relationship between housing prices and job creation and income. “Who is affording homes is a narrow segment of the job creation,” he said. “I do not see robust job growth out of (select) industries.”

Broncos have sights set on strong finish BY TERRY MONAHAN This final month of the high school wrestling season is the favorite time of the year for Rancho Bernardo High coach Joe Terribilini. As the final month of the season unfolds, the former wrestler from Holtville enjoys the moment of truth when he finds out just how much his wrestlers learned, how much knowledge they absorbed and how much better they’ve actually gotten. If you’ve done the work the first two months, February will be reward time. “I’ve always been a journey guy instead of what happened this moment or that moment,’’ Terribilini said one day after his team placed second in the team standings with six individual champions at the Holtville Tournament. “I love from January on. It’s really cool to see how well your team has bonded through all the adversity, all the tournaments, all the matches.’’ Rancho Bernardo has defeated Del Norte and Westview in Palomar League action. The Broncos’ only loss is to perennial champion Poway with a match Thursday against Mt. Carmel to conclude the regular season. Then the fun begins. Rancho Bernardo will host two of the divisions in the CIF Dual Meet Championships, Feb. 11. The Broncos will likely be the No. 2 seed behind Poway in Division II with the Division IV finals in the same gym simultaneously. On Feb. 18, the Broncos will compete for gold in Division II of the individual title chase at Del Norte on Feb. 18 with the Masters Meet, to decide the top three placers who will advance to the state meet, scheduled for Feb. 24-25 at Olympian in Chula Vista. The State Championships will be Mar. 2-3 in Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. “As a coach I want to make the kids be as successful as they can be,’’ said Terribilini, whose Broncos won a single CIF team title in 2011. “We hopefully have given them all the tools they need. Now we see if they can use all those tools to their advantage.’’ SEE WRESTLING, B4

BY MICHAEL BOWER For athletes like Del Norte High football player D’Angelo Gunter, National Signing Day marks the end of a long and stressful recruiting period. As exciting as it is to finally sign that college scholarship, it is almost as equally as exciting that the process of it all is over. “It was really long and stressful,” said Gunter, a talented defensive back who was being pursued by several schools, including Brigham Young University, Vanderbilt, Wyoming and New Mexico. “All of these schools are talking to you and you like everything they say, but you never know what their intentions are. It was definitely a learning experience. But ultimately I got to the decision I wanted and I feel good about it.” As of press time on Tuesday, Gunter was expected to sign with BYU on Feb. 1, National Signing Day. Thousands of high school senior football, soccer and men’s water polo players across the country also inked their names on a National Letter of Intent. Rancho Bernardo senior quarterback Mark Salazar was expected to sign with Fresno State. Salazar’s teammate, offensive lineman James Lee, likely celebrated his commitment to Harvard University (Ivy League schools do not give out athletic scholarships). For Gunter, picking a school wasn’t easy. It turned especially hard when Vanderbilt offered a scholarship in the final month of the recruiting period. The 6-foot, 2-inch, 170-pound speedster said he felt at home at BYU, though. “The school is awesome, the people are great, the coaches are great and the team is great,” he said. “It was just one of those places that I knew when I got there. I just felt so relaxed. I don’t know how to explain it. Vanderbilt had everything you would want, but for some reason I knew BYU was the right fit.” Gunter is also a track star at Del Norte. He is one of the best in the San Diego Section in the 100, 200 and 400 sprints. He said he is still thinking about whether he will run track in the spring. “I might do it because I started it and I might as well finish,” he said. For now, football and BYU is on his mind. “This is great,” he said. “I get my education paid for and I get to do what I love for another three to five years. But at the time time it was just more of a check on the list for me. Now I want to go get a degree and then hopefully play well enough to get a shot at the NFL.”

Athlete of the Week

Dream summer pays dividends for Titans' Cooke-Harper BY TERRY MONAHAN Jordan Cooke-Harper’s past summer vacation was, for him, a dream come true. He spent the entire time back East playing in travel ball tournaments for Ring City Elite, which is coached by his dad, Ron. Cooke-Harper played tournaments in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Pennsylvania and Florida, battling the oppressive summertime humidity to pursue his passion. “I saw so many good players,’’ said the 6-foot-7 center for Poway. “Basketball is my first love, so to be able to play it all day like that was great. Any day I can just play basketball is a great day.’’ Cooke-Harper began playing basketball at age 5 when his mom enrolled him in a basketball camp at Alliant University. He was the tallest kid in camp . “I can’t remember how tall I was, but I was big back then,’’ he said. It was right there that he fell in love with the game. At first, defense was his biggest asset. Slowly, he’s become a more dangerous offensive player as he strives to keep playing at the next level. By the time he was on the Titans’ varsity as a sophomore, he was starting. That was not enough. The player with a 7-foot wing span just wanted to improve. “He’s significantly better this year,’’ Poway coach Scott Fisher said. “He’s just more confident on the court. You only get that through experience. We knew this year he’d be much better

after the fall season he had. I think he can play at the next level. It all depends on how much stronger he gets and how much harder he works.’’ Cooke-Harper is fine with that assessment. He offered the same appraisal of his game. “I need to work on dribbling and extend my shooting range,’’ he said. “Most of my points now come in the paint and on short put-backs. I want to be able to score from anywhere. “If they put a slow guy on me, I can go around him. If they put a shorter guy on me, I can go post on him. I need a lot of strength work because I’m not the strongest guy out there.’’ But that means hitting the Titans weight room. “At the next level, everyone has skills,’’ said Cooke-Harper, whose favorite players are LeBron James and Kristaps Porzingis. “Strength in college is almost the whole game, especially down low where I play. Once I get into the weight room, I have fun with it. Getting into the weight room is a different story. I know strength is the only way I’ll get better. You might as well just do the work.’’ With last Friday’s 77-65 win over rival Rancho Bernardo, Cooke-Harper, who also played lacrosse until eighth grade, worked hard enough to toss in 19 points. Cooke-Harper proudly pointed out he was 8-for-10 from the free-throw line against the Broncos at home. Poway took over sole possession of first place in the Palomar League with the win.

Prep Girls Water Polo

Dynamic duo has Nighthawks in prime position BY TERRY MONAHAN Dagmara Czajka and Sophia Zamoyski have a long list of injuries in their lives, more than most high school juniors should. The water polo tandem from Del Norte High overcame a string of setbacks to help propel the Nighthawks to a place of prominence in the San Diego Section. Del Norte would never be 16-3 overall and 1-1 in the rugged Palomar League without a renewed interest of improving for success sparked by Czajka and Zamoyskli among others. But it’s been a tough journey to get here. Zamoyski suffered a broken right shoulder in a skiing accident more than seven years ago. Czajka is a whole different story. She’s broken both wrists at the same time after jumping from a swing. While walking she slipped off a rock and broke a wrist. During a run with her coed cross country team she tripped in a ditch, fell and broke her ankle. That doesn’t even take into account the multiple times she’s dislocated her shoulder because of her flexibility. “Being on land puts a real strain on me,’’ Czajka said, laughing. “I’m accident prone.’’ Czajka also required stitches in her chin after her hand slipped while doing pushups on the pool deck. While Czajka was enduring some rugged treatment by the boys on her cross country team, Zamoyski was playing basketball, but recurring shin splints chased her off the court and into the pool.

Dagmara Czajka and Sophia Zamoyski have helped put the Del Norte High girls water polo team in position to challenge for a section title. Her dad Pete has been a record-setting water polo player at UC Santa Barbara and has the trophies scattered around the house to prove it. “My first water polo practice was in the middle of winter and I was out of shape for the pool,’’ Zamoyski said. Her first club practice was at Del Norte. Eventually, the team worked out at Cathedral Catholic and Westview and then the 6-foot-1 Zamoyski attended Del Norte as a student.

Discover North County’s Best Kept Secret

There she met the 5-9 Czajka, whose mom Beha signed her up for swimming camp. She jumped in and fell in love with the pool until one of her coaches told her she would love water polo even more. He was right. After their sophomore season at Del Norte, Czajka and Zamoyski committed to improving their games. They both decided to play on a club team.

“The better part was their teammates followed their example to get better,’’ Del Norte coach Andy Avila said. “They both have grown into their roles as team captains after being a little hesitant at first. They’re both thriving now.’’ Zamoyski has tallied 108 goals and added 26 assists while Czajka has scored 78 goals and assisted on 49 others. Czajka has 68 steals and drawn 20 exclusions. Zamoyski has 43 steals and 23 exclusions. “Scoring is my favorite part,’’ Czajka said. “The moment the ball hits the back of the net it’s the best feeling.’’ With a water polo player in attendance, Zamoyski has someone else to bounce ideas off of. After each game, Sophia and dad dig into the highpoints and lowpoints during the short drive home. “If we have a tough loss, he understands and waits for me to start,’’ Sophia said. “But 99.9 percent of the time I’m excited to talk to him about the game.’’ Czajka’s future goals, she hopes, includes a career in space travel. “I was a Lego kid and I did robotics in middle school, so I love to build things,’’ she said. “I want to build satellites and spaceships to help explore what we already know and to find out what we don’t know about the universe. “I am not so much about going into space, and the thought of going to space to look back at the Earth is great.’’ Monahan is a freelance writer

Presidio League champions

PALMER FINLEY

Rancho Bernardo High freshman Tyler Badgett, top, is ranked No. 21 in the state at 132 pounds. FROM WRESTLING, B1 The Broncos’ nine-week learning process began back in December with weekend tournaments. Last season, Terribilini pointed out, his team was second to Poway in the Palomar League, second to Poway in the Dual Meet Championships, second to Poway in the CIF individual tournament, second to Poway in Masters and 22nd at the state championships. Poway was third at the state finals. “We know they’re always there and they’re always there because they’re good,’’ Terribilini said. “We only worry about ourselves. We tell the kids all the time to control the control-ables. I know that’s easier said than done.” The Broncos placed second in the El Cajon Invitational at Eastlake. They were third at the Jimmy Hamada Classic at La Costa Canyon

even though two wrestlers were absent. At Doc Buchanan Invitational at Clovis Buchanan, the Broncos were ninth followed by a third-place finish at the Five Counties Invitational at Fountain Valley High when three wrestlers were held out because they were running out of the allotted matches for the season. In the Sierra Nevada Classic in the Reno Livestock Events Center, Rancho Bernardo was second out of 110 teams. Along the way, the Broncos had 18 wrestlers stand as tournament champions heading into the postseason. “This season has unfolded about as close to what we expected as possible,’’ Terribilini said. “We want to continue to build our program. We want to be like Poway and be a team that just reloads instead of rebuilding every year.’’ And the only way to do that is during this time of year. Monahan is a freelance writer

The Juventus San Diego soccer club's 2007 boys team recently took home first place trophies for the Presidio League 2016 Red South division. The competitive club has only been together for one year and its 2005 and 2007 boys teams did well all season, collectively winning the league title, two tournament championships, and placing as finalists in two more tournaments. Based out of Mira Mesa, about half of the teams are made up of residents of Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos and Scripps Ranch. This season, Juventus is expanding to include more boys teams ranging from birth years 2004 to 2008 and is holding tryouts Saturday February 11, 2017 at 10:00am at the Mira Mesa Rec Center fields.

Sue Palmer Quintet performing at RB Library Feb. 8 Free concert is part of the library’s jazz concert series

COURTESY PHOTO

Sue Palmer, San Diegi's Queen of Boogie-Woogie, will perform at the Rancho Bernardo Library on Feb. 8 with members of her Motel Swing Orchestra as the Sue Palmer Quintet.

BY EMILY SORENSEN Get ready to move with the “Queen of Boogie-Woogie,” Sue Palmer, and the Sue Palmer Quintet at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8 at the Rancho Bernardo Library, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. This concert is free and open to the public although donations are appreciated. Children ages 7 and older may attend with a parent or guardian. Seating is limited so arrive early. It is part of the jazz concert series organized the Rancho Bernardo Friends of the Library. Palmer, a pianist who normally performs with an eight-piece band, the Motel Swing Orchestra, will be joined by four of her regular band members: Deejha Marie, her singer; Sharon Shufelt, her drummer; Pete Harrison, her bassist; and Jonny Viau on saxophone. Boogie-woogie is a style of piano-based blues that originated in the late 1800s, and became popular in the 1930s and ‘40s. The sound was incorporated into swing bands at the time. Called “San Diego’s Queen of Boogie Woogie,” Palmer has been performing since the 1970s. Her interest in boogie-woogie began after hearing someone perform a gospel song on the piano in the boogie-woogie style and, liking it, she decided to learn to play it on the piano herself. Palmer said the quintet will be playing music off the group’s newest album, “Thunderbird Sessions,” as well as some old favorites. Palmer has previously performed in the jazz concert series several times.

Playing library concerts offers a different crowd than playing in clubs or at festivals, said Palmer. “It’s shorter, playing for an hour and a half instead of four hours. And in clubs, you’re primarily playing for dancers, who are listening for a different purpose. (At the library), it’s more of a sit-down jazz crowd.” Palmer said she welcomes dancers at her concert at the Rancho Bernardo Library. Palmer’s most-recent album was a departure for her and her Motel Swing Orchestra. The album was performed live in front of an audience at Thunderbird Analog Recording Studio in Oceanside, which is run by fellow blues musician Thomas Yearsley. “It was really fun (recording live),” said Palmer. “There are fabulous videos of the whole thing available on YouTube or our website. It was like a whole multimedia art thing. It’s really different from anything I’ve ever done and I’m really proud of it.” The jazz concert series features six concerts this season. It began in October with a performance by the Peter Sprague Trio, followed by Holly Hofmann and Mike Wofford in November. The series will continue with the Danny Green Trio is March, Gilbert Castellanos in April and the Joshua White Trio in May. For more information on this or other concerts offered at the Rancho Bernardo Library, visit friendsoftheranchobernardolibrary.org or email rbconcerts@earthlink.net.

Neil Diamond fans will want to see Welk show Plays most Wednesdays throughout the year in Escondido BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Neil Diamond fans have an opportunity to enjoy his early music during a well-done show playing at the Welk Resort Theatre on most Wednesday evenings this year. “I am ... Neil Diamond, I Said” is the first original musical about Diamond’s early life, starting with his childhood in Brooklyn and continuing through the early ‘80s. It closes with music from “The Jazz Singer,” including “America,” during which the audience stood and clapped along to the patriotic song that is as relevant in today’s world as during the time when Diamond’s grandparents immigrated to the U.S. (reportedly his inspiration). While called a musical — written and produced by tribute artist and Diamond impersonator Jason Lohrke — it is mostly a 2 1/2 hour concert featuring 25 of Diamond’s most well-known, beloved hits from the first two decades of his career. There is one 15-minute intermission. Within three words of “Shilo” (the opening song) it was clear Lohrke — portraying “early” Neil Diamond — had mastered the singer’s distinctive tone, an assessment that held up throughout the show. He also convincingly portrayed Diamond’s self-described shyness and amazement at his career’s success. Lohrke’s vocal tone, combined with signature

Jason Lohrke portrays “early” Neil Diamond at the Welk Resort Theatre on most Wednesday evenings this year. stances and poses, created the feeling that one was experiencing an intimate Diamond performance. His frequent trips into the audience where he at times sat with fans as he sang, danced with or serenaded women cemented that feeling. Helping Lohrke set the mood were bandmates John MacElwee (percussion and drums), Dan Lipsey (lead guitar), Terry Moran (bass guitar), Paul Goldin (lead guitar and synth guitar) and Jeff Mercer (keyboard and vocals). Evelyn Mendoza was instrumental in filling out the melodies with her backup vocals and her voice was beautiful during her duet with Lohrke for “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.”

According to Lohrke’s website, NeilDiamondExperience.com, the singer became a Diamond fan at the age of 6 due to his mother, who repeatedly played Diamond’s albums. That life-long familiarity, in addition to Lohrke’s own singing talents, is evident in his ability to capture Diamond’s singularity. While the vast majority of the show is a concert, the impersonation adds another layer and gives the audience insights into the inspiration for some of Diamond’s songs and career decisions. According to Lohrke’s performance — presented in the first person as Diamond —

ON EVERYTHING WE CLEAN:

“Shilo” is about Diamond’s childhood imaginary friend. It and many other songs are autobiographical. The duet between Barbra Streisand and Diamond for “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” came about due to radio shows mixing their individual performances. Due to popularity they later recorded it together and performed at the 1980 Grammy Awards. Another interesting backstory was about “Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show.” Other well-performed songs included “I’m a Believer,” “Kentucky Woman,” “Thank the Lord for the Night Time,” “Red Red Wine,” “Sweet Caroline,” “Holly Holy,” “Cracklin’ Rosie,” the show’s title inspiration “I Am ... I Said,” “Song Sung Blue,” “Forever in Blue Jeans,” “September Morn” and “Love on the Rocks.” The only aspect that was awkward and somewhat distracting was the concert being presented on the Welk’s stage since it is set up for “My Fair Lady,” which runs through April 2. At one point Lohrke used a part of the set to sit on a door stoop. However, that was the exception and the set’s contrasting presence takes some getting used to. Obviously the Welk cannot remove the set along the stage’s sides for the weekly concerts, but closing the back curtain would at least camouflage the set components directly behind the band. “I am ... Neil Diamond, I Said” can be seen at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays through June 28 (no shows April 8 or May 3) plus Sept. 6 through Dec. 27 (no shows Nov. 15 or Dec. 13). Tickets are $35. To purchase, go to welkresorts.com or call 888-802-7469. The Welk Resort Theatre is at 8860 Lawrence Welk Drive in Escondido. Parking is free.

PISTON,

a 3-year-old Shar Pei/Labrador mix, is looking for a new best friend. He may be little shy at ﬁrst, but after a treat or two he will warm right up and wiggle his way into your heart! He loves going for fun adventures and has a real zest for all life has to offer. According to his previous owners, this happy-go-lucky boy has done well around children, cats and other large dogs, but doesn’t always like to share his things so older children may be best. Piston is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E. Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Name that Food: An Interactive Quiz

efore going on vacation, my neighbor recently brought a bag of mysterious fruits and vegetables to my home so they wouldn’t go to waste.

Do your homework on nutritional supplements

TO YOUR HEALTH

ccording to an October 2016 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than half of all Americans regularly take a nutritional supplement. Some, such as fish oils and probiotics, have had especially significant increases in use in recent years. Unfortunately, research also shows that consumers are often confused about supplement choices and that patient-physician communication on the topic leaves room for improvement. Many patients don’t recognize that supplements can be quite potent and may interact with other drugs. And physicians often have difficulty finding credible information in this area, which may make optimal patient discussion and guidance less likely. To help guide this conversation, here are some thoughts from Robert Bonakdar, M.D., of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. Q: Do people need nutritional supplements? A: There is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, vitamin B-12 absorption declines as we age and deficiency may accelerate cognitive decline. This is one reason the Institute of Medicine recommends supplemental B-12 for people older than 50. Many can get the extra B-12 through fortified foods, but some will need supplementation based on their diet and medical history. Supplements should be prescribed based on need and scientific evidence. Many incorporate supplements on an ad hoc basis. They get a recommendation from a friend or see an article and

decide it can help them. This is an opportunity for physicians. Why does the patient feel they need a supplement? What is missing from their care that makes them reach for the bottle? Q: Are supplements safe and well regulated? A: If a supplement has any activity at all, its potential positive and negative effects should be taken seriously. There are wide variations in potency, purity and processing. People need to ask critical questions: Has it been tested, and found beneficial, in humans? How long has it been on the market? There have been supplements found to be illegally adulterated with prescription medication. There have also been a number of cases where large chain stores were found to have certain supplements which may not have contained the stated amount of key ingredients. This should give all stakeholders pause as they consider supplements and point to ways to make supplement choice safe and optimal. We should select our supplements with far greater scrutiny than other consumables, such as shampoo or socks. It’s important to become aware of verification and certification seals on bottles from independent organizations such as the NSF International and the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), which can help to ensure higher levels of safety and regulation. This takes time and energy, but should be similar to the effort we place on making other important choices about our health care and treatments. We should carefully reflect on why we are considering the supplement, discuss it with a provider and come up with a formulation that has proof of safety and benefit.

Another consideration is drug interactions. Although not a widespread phenomenon, certain combinations need to be kept in mind and minimized. St. John’s Wort can help with depression but can also interfere with antidepressants, as well as oral contraceptives. Other supplements interact with blood thinners. Careful consideration can be the difference between finding a supplement that causes problems and one that is helpful. Q: How can we foster smart supplement usage? A: Patients must fully disclose their supplements, and physicians need to approach the topic without rancor. A patient who has been “supplement-shamed” may never mention it to any physician, damaging trust and diminishing care. It’s vital for physicians to open the discussion and provide important information to clarify a supplement’s pros and cons. From Feb. 8-12, Scripps will provide a unique opportunity for interested consumers and health care providers to learn more about the evidence, safety and effectiveness of supplements, at its 14th annual conference, Natural Supplements: An Evidence Based Update. As supplement use continues to evolve and increase, it becomes more imperative to have educational opportunities for all stakeholders to stay updated. This year’s conference will look at emerging topics such as the role of the microbiome, and the role of diet and supplementation in common condition including pain and heart health. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Marketing to myself

t’s been a rough six months for me. First the DMV told me my hair is now officially gray. Yet I look in the mirror and still see the same brown tresses I’ve always had. Then my hair stylist commented on my widening bald spot. Though we joked about my spray painting it, my brain was screaming “WHAT bald spot?” Next the optometrist advised I need trifocals, though we compromised on bifocals. Finally there was my annual physical, where I was told I’d shrunk an inch vertically while growing an inch horizontally. I’m officially getting older. Crud! Each morning I shake off the aches and pains, telling myself I’m still 25. And the natural question arises: Is this truth in advertising? What do we do when reality discounts the marketing message? Consider that hotel room we discussed a few weeks back. The marketing materials showed a luxurious room with a sumptuous breakfast. The reality was a depressing room with a breakfast area so crowded that the mice were hunchbacked. Meaning the hotel made one sale … but we’ll never go back. Businesses make promises all the time with no intention of keeping their word. For example, when a major auto maker stopped making a certain car model in 2009, they

promised they’d provide spare parts for 10 years. As I discovered this morning, they lied. And yes, that will color my opinion the next time I’m buying a car. At Rotary, the first question we ask about everything is, “Is it the truth?” As you examine your own marketing efforts, be cautious about the words and pictures you use. What you consider to be puffery may, in the customer’s eyes, be a bald-faced lie. Yup, sometimes it’s a fine line between clever marketing and deceit. OK, I’ll confess I’ve been known to exaggerate. Words are my passion and my playthings, and sometimes the occasional tall tale escapes my lips. But telling an obvious whopper at dinner is entertainment. Luring in sales prospects with blatant falsehoods is dishonest. Furthermore, people are much smarter than you may give them credit for. If you’re lying to customers, they’ll catch on to you pretty quickly … and tell everyone they know. So reconsider your message before distributing it. Because even though I think my hair is brown, I’m not fooling anybody but myself. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Learn the latest marketing tricks at askmrmarketing.com.

The Gymminy Kids offers lessons for kids of all ages BY EMILY SORENSEN Does your child want to study gymnastics? The Gyminny Kids at 17022 Camino San Bernardo in 4S Ranch teaches kids of all ages. The gymnasium offers classes for students starting at age 15 months and also has competitive teams for kids and teens. “Our motto is fun and fitness for all ages,” said Daniel Gundert, the director of operations for the gymnasium. “We’re primarily about serving the community and building character through sport.” The Gyminny Kids opened in 1987 and has been serving the community ever since. It is now in its third location, as more space was needed to better serve its clients. The company is still owned by the original owners, Liz Mullarky and Rob Bryson, though they have stepped back from the day-to-day operations, said Gundert. This year marks the gymnasium’s 30th anniversary and Gundert said it will be celebrating with a big community party on Sept. 9. The party will include vendors, activities for children and a tour of the facility and the programs. The business got a facelift in the past year, with new stadium seating being installed in the second floor observation area. This gives parents a comfortable place to sit and watch their children during lessons. New flooring and carpeting were also installed upstairs, and an outside patio area is being built to give clients an opportunity to sit outside. A new “Yellow Room” area is also being used to teach dance for supplementing gymnastics, said Gundert. The gymnasium is split into two sections: a small area for preschool and under, and a larger area intended for older children and adults, as well as the competitive teams. The preschool area, called the “Red Room,” is changed every two weeks, with a different theme in the course. These themes include everything from the Super Bowl to holidays to dental hygiene, and incorporate songs, dancing and life lessons into the routines. “(Changing up the theme) keeps the lessons fresh,” said Gundert. Gundert said the lessons also help with preschool readiness, as they teach children to be with other students, to listen to their teacher and how to be ready to attend school. It also teaches playground readiness, he said, as it helps children learn how to be social with others and builds confidence. The section of the gymnasium for older students, called the “Blue Room,” focuses more on skill and is program-based. “Students move on when they’re ready, not when they’re a certain age,” said Gundert.

EMILY SORENSEN

Director of Operations Daniel Grundert in the new seating for parents on the gymnasium's second floor. Most students come once a week for lessons, he said, but the more-serious students train more and many are on the business’s competitive teams. Currently, there are 33 male students and 56 female students on the competitive teams. The competitive teams focus on quality of practice instead of quantity, said Gundert, and the members practice between two and five times a week. “That gives them time to be a kid,” he said. “We’re about building character through sport and raising a well-rounded child. It’s important that they get time to be kids.” There are several programs for older children, including the popular “Ninja Kids” program, which focuses less on gymnastics and more on things like parkour, jumping over mats, structured martial arts and obstacle courses. “This opened a new market for us,” said Gundert. “It appeals to everyone.” A tumbling and trampoline program offers a more acrobatic class for those interested and has proved popular with dancers, he said. There are also the Fun Zone and Gym Zone programs, which are open recreation times supervised by coaches for safety. These are not structured classes but allow kids time to explore gymnastics in an open and safe environment.

Don’t underestimate ‘location, location, location’ (StatePoint) If you are in the market for a home, you are probably weighing a range of factors, including size, amenities and architectural style. But experts say that the old adage “location, location, location” should never stray from one’s thoughts. “Location not only affects your daily life in countless ways, but it also has an unquestionable influence on the current and future value of your home,” says Charlie Young, president and chief executive officer for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. Young points to The Coldwell Banker Home Listing Report, billed as the most extensive home price comparison tool in the US, as a good place to begin your research. The report, which can be found by visiting bit.ly/coldwellbanker2016HLR, analyzes the average listing price of more than 50,000 four-bedroom, two bathroom homes on ColdwellBanker.com between January 2016 and June 2016 in more than 2,000 markets. The findings reveal that while the national average listing price for a sample size home of $320,120 can buy a similar home in nearly 1,300 markets across the country, there are some major outliers on both ends of the price spectrum. In Detroit, the country’s most affordable market, the average listing price of a sample size home is less than $65,000. However, in Saratoga, California — the most expensive market — that same size home costs nearly $2.5 million, fueled by

Location matters beyond pure finances and can affect every aspect of your life. the region’s high-tech enterprise. But Young says not to view home prices as a yardstick for quality of life, “You can find a great place to live in most markets. In fact, Detroit has been experiencing a renaissance in the last few years. An invigorated community, culture and a resurgence of young professionals, is making it an affordable, viable city in which to settle down and build roots.” Another major location factor homebuyers should take into consideration is the local school system. Even if you don’t have a child in the family, schools can play a major role in home value. But remember, location matters beyond pure finances and can affect every aspect of your life, like the length of your commute, the presence of parks, the

walkability of the surrounding area, and the relative safety of the neighborhood. Other factors to consider may include doing a bit of research. How large is the community and does it fit with the type of place in which you want to raise your family? Will your new home be situated near key shopping destinations for daily staples like groceries, dry cleaning and other necessary services? Will your new community wind up costing you more in local taxes or other municipal fees? A bit of advance checking can help you make the best choice for your needs. So while you are counting bathrooms, admiring a newly shingled roof or imagining yourself enjoying a prospective property’s pool, don’t forget location and its potential impact on your lifestyle and your wallet.
