ocal residents have a golden opportunity Saturday to enjoy the Poway Days Parade. The 50th edition of the parade, complete with five Poway Unified high school marching bands, floats, equestrian units and dozens of youth and church groups, will step off at 9 a.m. from Poway Road at Pomerado Road and head about one mile down to Bowron Road. The parade is one of Poway’s longest-running traditions, with the first parade held in 1964 to celebrate the widening of Poway Road. Run completely by a dedicated corps of volunteers coordinated by the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps, the parade is always a hit with spectators of all ages. Serving as co-grand marshals this year are long-time residents and civic volunteers Jim-Tom and Marie Cavanaugh. (See related story.) Pauline Getz, serving her second year as parade chairman, said the organizing committee opted not to have a set theme this year but instead focus on the fact

that this is the event’s golden anniversary. As of the end of August, more than 90 entries had been confirmed. Getz said she expects another dozen or so to sign up in coming days. The final total should be close to the 113 that entered the 2013 parade, she said. Among the first-time entrants are members of the Victorian Roses Ladies Riding Society, a nine-woman group based in East County that has made multiple appear-

Getz said that Poway’s adopted military unit, the 1st Light Armored Battalion at Camp Pendleton, will be represented by 30 Marines on foot and six military vehicles that will be parked afterward at Community Park.

Grand Marshals Marie and Jim-Tom Cavanaugh.
H NEWS JOUR NA NC RA L

f you’re involved with helping people, then you probably already know the Cavanaughs, Poway Days’ grand marshals. Jim-Tom and Marie Cavanaugh, longtime Poway residents, were named the grand marshals for the 50th annual Poway Days parade, something that came as a surprise to Rotarian Jim-Tom, who missed the meeting where it was decided. “That came out of left field,� said JimTom. “I was on the committee to work, not to be the grand poobah.� Marie said it was exciting to be named as the grand marshal. As grand marshals, the Cavanaughs will be featured in the Poway Days Parade, beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 along Poway Road. The Cavanaughs have been staples of the community since they moved to Poway from Chicago in 1972, giving back through service clubs and time volunteered. They raised four children, and have four grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Jim-Tom is been a member of the Poway-Scripps Rotary and has been a former Rotary president. He is also a member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Gabriel’s Church, where he and Marie have attended since they moved to Poway. “I didn’t confine my help based on religion,� said Jim-Tom. “As long as people were hurting and needing help, you help.�
Also a talented auctioneer, Jim-Tom has in the past lent his talent to a number of groups and organizations in Poway, including the Poway Soroptimists, the Rotary and for St. Michael’s Catholic Church. He still does the Harvest Moon auction at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church every year, but has otherwise retired from auctioneering. Jim-Tom always offered his services for free to help out the community and never accepted payment for his auctioneering services. “When I got into auctioneering, (my services) got spread out to all groups. It wasn’t so much about the organization as the people who made the organization possible,� he said. Marie has also given extensively to the community over the years. She was the instructor for altar servers at St. Gabriel’s for over 30 years. “To me, (teaching the children) was a blessing,� said Marie. “These were kids who were there because this is what they wanted to do, and their parents were behind them.� Jim-Tom also volunteered at St. Gabriel’s, working in the kitchen cooking for 20 years, as well as serving as an usher. “We’ve been at St. Gabriel’s since the beginning,� said Jim-Tom. Jim-Tom also worked for Prudential Insurance for 36 years, which helped him meet many Powegians over the years. “I got to know many families (in Poway) through insurance,� said Jim-Tom. “Everything I’ve done has led to being involved with people,� said Jim-Tom. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.�

njoy Saturday’s Poway Days events on a full stomach by stopping off at the Community Center at Community Park for a breakfast prepared by the Poway Kiwanis Club. (Note location change.) Pancakes and sausage will be served from 7 to 10 a.m., according to event cochair Neil Tarzy. Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 years of age and under. This is the second year the club has prepared breakfast on the first Saturday of Poway Days. This year’s location is closer to the finish line of the 5K run and is a short distance away from where parade entries will be lining up for the 9 a.m. start. Event proceeds will go to the Kiwanis Club of Poway, CA Foundation and will be returned to the community in the form of
school scholarships and contributions to organizations helping children. Chartered in 1972, the Poway Kiwanis Club has about 60 members, making it the largest in North County. Annual service projects include the “Holiday with a Hero” program in December and preparing meals for young burn victims and cancer patients. The club sponsors four youth service and leadership development programs: the K-Kids Club at Painted Rock Elementary School, the Builders Club at Twin Peaks Middle School, the Poway High Key Club and the Circle K Club at Cal State San Marcos. For more information about the Poway Kiwanis Club, including upcoming events and meetings visit www.powaykiwanis.org or the club's Facebook page.

Poway Road will be closed between 6:15 and 8 a.m. to accommodate the runners. Registration for the 5K is $25 for adults, $15 for children under 12 and $23 for San Diego Track Club members. The fee includes a t-shirt. City Councilman Jim Cunningham, who will be running, said he’s trying to encourage elected officials from other North County cities to participate in the race as well.

The Poway Days Community Celebration, sponsored by the Poway Chamber of Commerce, will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Community Park, 13094 Civic Center Drive. The event is free and open to the public. The inaugural event will include music, vendor booths and fun activities and rides for children. “The celebration is a great way for family and friends to gather after the parade to celebrate this wonderful community of Poway, and at the same time, kick off Poway Days.” said Dolores Canizales, president of the Poway Chamber of Commerce. “We hope the entire community will come out to Community Park so that we can continue to have a Poway Days celebration every year.”
Kids Zone activities will include the Party Pony Express, Eurobungy and the Wipeout. Teens will have an opportunity to explore vehicles presented by the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. The unit is based out of Camp Pendleton and is the City of Poway’s “adopted” unit. Parade winners will be announced from the main stage after the parade. The stage will also feature live music by classic rock, blues and soul band “Planet Jack” and “Joey Orte & the Adoration” band. Food trucks and food vendors will offer a variety of barbeque, pizza and Indian cuisine. A limited number of businesses and community organizations are participating and will provide information for Poway residents.

Good Neighbor Day is Sept. 10 BY KEVIN TREVELLYAN
S
temming from a nationwide tradition, this year’s Good Neighbor Day will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 10 as part of Poway Days. Jeannie Hume, owner of Crystal Gardens Florist at 13565 Poway Road, will once again open her shop at 9 a.m. to hand out roses for free on a first come, first serve basis. She expects to give away about 1,000 flowers. Hume has participated in the event for over 15 years. She’ll be handing out six roses to each person who visits Crystal Gardens. Each participant is supposed to keep one rose for him or herself and then hand out the rest to others. Hume said she has heard stories of students bringing their flowers to Poway High School and handing them out to teachers and friends. Others have taken their roses across the street from Hume’s shop to give them to strangers at the grocery

store. Hume said she eagerly anticipates the occasion each year because she sees how much happiness these unsolicited acts of kindness can bring to others. “People love it, just to bring a smile to someone’s face,” said Hume. Powegians typically start calling Crystal Gardens at the beginning of Sep-
tember to make sure they don’t miss out on Good Neighbor Day. When it does roll around, the roses go quickly. “It would behoove people to try and get here in the morning,” said Hume. One year all of the flowers were gone an hour after opening. Usually there are some left until around noon, however.

T
he Poway Rodeo has been entertaining the community for over 40 years by holding on to some of the best talent in the business and at the same time keeping the event fresh with new ideas. It’s those guidelines that will drive the 42nd annual Poway Rodeo, which opens with a single show Friday Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Poway Valley Riders Associations grounds, 14336 Tierra Bonita Road. There will be two shows Saturday, Sept. 27 (1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.). Back again are two things that have become the cornerstone of the rodeo — announcer Wayne Brooks and the livestock from Salt River Rodeo Company, LLC. Brooks is back for the 11th straight year. The
The Shooting Stars precision riding team will open each of the three rodeo performances. 2005 Announcer of the Year is always a crowd favorite. Salt River Rodeo Company will be providing livestock for the fifth straight year. The company has been in the business for over 20 years and have consistently been chosen to supply livestock for the National Finals Rodeo. “We say the Poway Rodeo is a brand above the rest and that is why we are contracting our stock
contractor, announcer and big scoreboard guys three years in advance,” said Russ Sheldon, who has been involved with putting the rodeo together for all 42 years. “That is how you retain people. Then you treat them right when they come here and they will want to come back.” Longtime rodeo clown Donnie Landis, 54, will make a return as the specialty act. Regarded by
many as one of the best in the business, Landis last entertained the crowd at the Poway Rodeo in 2011. “The Poway Rodeo always has great bucking stock and they get some of the top cowboys from all over the United States to get on that great bucking stock,” said Landis, who is well known for his comedic acts in the pen. “...It is always exciting and there always seems to be a big crowd.” (See related story.) The Poway Rodeo drew around 10,000 people over the three shows last year. Sheldon hopes they get around 12,000 this year, which would mean the standing-room only space at the arena would be capped. “That is what we would like to do,” he said. “That is when everybody has a really good time.” SEE RODEO, Page 4

to cheer for again, as the PRCA-sanctioned event is the final chance for cowboys to earn money to qualify for the National Rodeo Finals in December. The rodeo is comprised of seven competitions: bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, tie down roping, team roping and barrel racing. The Poway Rodeo adds $3,500 per event for a total of $28,000 to the prize purse. The rest of the purse is made up through the contestant entry fees. Immediately following the rodeo on both nights is the Rodeo Dance. It’s free and open to everyone 21 and over. Ticket prices this year will include a concern prior to the Friday and Saturday night rodeos by country music recording artist Mark Connors. Gates will open at 5:50 p.m. The concert starts at 6 p.m. For ticket information, go to the rodeo fact sheet on Page 2 of this program.

The always-popular kids’ rodeo events will include Mutton Busting — children under 50 pounds and at least 3 years of age try to ride a sheep for eight seconds — and Junior Barrel Racing. Both events sold out in the first weeks of signups. There is also a special area designated for kids, which features face painting, glitter tattoos and other activities. “It’s a great thing because we want the rodeo to be family friendly,� Sheldon said. “We have a special area that can hold about 225 kids.

onnie Landis paid close attention when he was younger, watching his father produce rodeos and his mother perform the job of rodeo secretary. He took notice of a few things, especially where the money was going. “The one thing I saw was the clown and bullfighter got a check every weekend,” said Landis, this year’s Poway Rodeo entertainer. “The cowboys had to pay a fee and take their chances.” Not that becoming a rodeo clown isn’t taking a chance. After all, being in the same pen running LANDIS around with a 1,700-pound farm animal for a living is not exactly the safest job in the world. But Landis, who is the fourth generation of his family that has worked in the rodeo business, has mastered the art of staying safe and entertaining a crowd in the process. He has been doing it for 42 years, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles across the continent, making a different crowd laugh nearly every week. “I do about 40 to 60 events each year,” said Landis, who in 2011 entertained at the Poway Rodeo and before that did it in the mid-80s and in 1979. “It becomes so repetitious for me that people will ask me where I was the last few weeks and it is really hard for me to answer that question.” Landis, 54, was born in Los Angeles, raised in San Jose and now lives in Idaho with his wife of 17 years, Rabecca. His children and wife do not travel much with him, but he still makes the most out of the long
road trips. “One of the things I like about it is I get to travel around and see all the things that people talk about,” Landis said. “I have seen the Statue of Liberty in New York, the space center in Florida and all these different things that a lot of people talk about but do not get to go see.” Landis entertains with jokes and comedy during transitions within the events to take attention away from the mechanisms of the rodeo. He takes pride in his versatility, which he says he learned from different sporting events put on around the country. “Most clowns have one really good act and that is what carries them,” Landis said. “We all steal jokes from each other. But I watch comedians, circuses, professional sports and see what they do to entertain people. Other guys just watch clowns and swipe off each other, but I watch a little of everything.” Landis credits his father for his start in the business. “I was fortunate enough to be raised by a father that was a clown so I got to learn first-hand how to do that,” he said. “It helped me land jobs and helped me be successful in my career.” Landis said fans that come to the Poway Rodeo can expect some new material from the last time he was here. He said he always enjoys coming to the rodeo in Poway. “They have great bucking stock there,” he said, “and they get some of the top cowboys from all over the United States to get on that great bucking stock. Wayne Brooks does the announcing and he is just phenomenal. It is always exciting and there always seems to be a big crowd.” And that’s what Landis takes notice of nowadays. The Poway Rodeo is Sept. 26-27. For more information, visit www.powayrodeo. com.

Poway Rodeo is a busy time for trio of queens BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
P
Ready for the Sept. 26 and 27 Poway Rodeo are its 2014 queens — from left, Junior Queen Hannah Dickerson, Young Miss Paris Antonello and Senior Queen Mariah Hunt.
oway’s trio of rodeo queens are getting ready to perform a wide assortment of royal duties during the main event of their reigns. The 2014 Senior Queen Mariah Hunt, Junior Queen Hannah Dickerson and Young Miss Paris Antonello said their duties include herding animals, riding their horses for the Queen’s Run and other festivities that include carrying flags, signing autographs, throwing T-shirts into the rodeo audience and serving as ambassadors with their sister queens from other rodeos, who will be making guest appearances. While being a rodeo queen can appear to be a glamorous job, to win the title and the crown last March the girls had to prove they are successful riders and know a lot about horse care and rodeos in order to serve as Poway rodeo ambassadors during a year full of activities throughout Southern California. Hunt, a 19-year-old Rancho Penasquitos resident and sophomore at Mesa Community College, said she has been riding horses since age 4. Her older sister’s friend, who was a junior rodeo queen,
introduced Hunt to the rodeo world. Prior to winning the Poway title, Hunt was 2013 Miss Rodeo Lakeside. During the Sept. 26 and 27 events — where she will celebrate her 20th birthday on the first day — Hunt said she will likely ride both of her quarter horses, the red and white paint Wyatt and chestnut colored Gus. Wyatt she will ride during the parade because he is a bit calmer, but Gus will also be ridden since there is a lot she has to do over the weekend and she wants to let each horse get some rest. Being a rodeo queen is fun she said, especially when getting to interact with other rodeo queens who become friends due to their frequent interactions. Unlike her younger sister queens, Hunt said she will not compete in barrel racing at the Poway Rodeo because of her age. Competitors over 18 are considered professionals, and competing becomes a full-time job. The 2013 Westview High graduate is not ready to make that leap as she is earning her associate’s degree in liberal studies at Mesa, with aspirations to transfer to San Diego State University next year. She is on pace to become an elementary teacher, though recently Hunt said she has considered majoring in busi-
ness instead. Being a rodeo queen appealed to her in part because the ambassadorial duties that include frequent visits to schools and she enjoys working with children, she said. As for why she likes horses, Hunt said riding puts her “in a separate world that relaxes me from reality.” Dickerson, a 14-year-old Valley Center High School freshman who aspires to become a criminal profiler, said she entered the pageant because she had a lot of friends who have competed and being a junior queen gives her the opportunity to interact with Poway’s business and rodeo community. The former Poway resident said she has attended several rodeos in California over the past few months as a visiting queen. They include Lakeside, Valley Center, Ramona, Bakersfield and later this year Lancaster for the circuit finals. She also appeared at a polo tournament in Del Mar. While the Poway Rodeo Committee covers some expenses, Dickerson said her parents pay most of the travel expenses for her and her horse. Dickerson said she knows English and Western riding styles, which are very difSEE QUEENS, Page 7

livestock is the absolute determination to buck if something is on its back – often an inherited characteristic, which breeders now work carefully to bring out in “Born to Buck” programs. • PRCA rules require flank straps to be lined with fleece or neoprene in the flank area (similar to a human waist); flank straps are tightened just enough to encourage the animal to kick behind itself instead of hopping around the arena. Overtightening would result in the animal’s refusal to move at all, much less buck. Flank straps do not contact an animal’s genitals. • The PRCA prohibits the use of electric prods in competition except for horses known to be “chute stallers” – that is, they sometimes hesitate coming out of the chute and then may start bucking in the chute, creating risk to themselves and possibly to contestants. The prod may be used in this case if, and only if, the judge, stock contractor and contestant agree that it is necessary to protect the safety of the animal and/or contestant.
• The average bucking horse or bucking bull works less than five minutes a year in the arena. • Rodeo livestock have long and healthy lives: Many of today’s top bucking horses are 20 years old, and many bulls are active buckers at 15 years of age. Veterinarians attribute these long, healthy life spans to good care, quality feed and adequate exercise. • PRCA rules prohibit the use of sharpened spurs and other implements that could harm an animal. • Human skin is one to two millimeters thick; horse hide is five millimeters thick; bull hide is seven millimeters thick. • Stock contractors invest a great deal of money in their breeding and purchase programs; many contractors pay up to five or even six figures for a top-rated bucking animal. Naturally, they are very motivated to take care of these investments. • Both bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies; many do so while playing together in pastures, just as horses naturally race each other.

entered the Poway competition because she has a lot of friends who have competed in pageants. “I’m looking forward to doing my own rodeo and helping with the cattle, herding them back into the chute,” Antonello said. She leases a Morgan horse named Pony, who is called a bay because of her dark brown hair and black mane and tail. The horse stays at her trainer’s barn in Poway. “I like horses … because they are really fascinating and smart,” she said. Antonello started riding at the age of 18 months because her parents are into horses and her mother, Kristy Antonello, is a rider. Antonello said she would like a career in large animal husbandry, learning how to take care of animals and train them. As for the Poway Rodeo, Antonello said she is looking forward to competing in junior barrel racing, doing the Queen’s Run, signing autographs and is “really looking forward” to throwing T-shirts from the back of a truck to the audience in the stadium stands.

ferent. Her horse, Prayer — officially With a Song and a Prayer — is a rescued quarter horse called a solid paint because she has no markings among her buckskin (yellowish golden brown) hair. When rescued, she said Prayer was “really scared” of people, about 300 pounds underweight and the vet said would have likely died within a week. Dickerson has worked very hard over the past three years to gain Prayer’s trust. “It was a lot of hard work, but I have an awesome trainer,” she said. “When we got (Prayer) she would not even let us touch her because she was so scared of people. “It was a hard battle, but well worth it,” she added, explaining the first six months were the most difficult. The now 16-year-old Prayer had been trained for riding by a previous owner, but had forgotten during her seven years in the “bad home,” Dickerson said, who will ride Prayer during her queen duties and while competing in junior barrel racing at the Poway Rodeo. Antonello, a 10-year-old sixth grader at Marston Middle School in Clairemont and first-time pageant entrant, said she

Linda Robison, the cemetery’s general manager, in front of the cemetery’s office. Photos by Emily Sorensen In 1950, the Pomerado Cemetery District was formed, and the first board of trustees was named. These trustees included Ed Van Dam, Robert D. McFeron and Budwin G. McFeron. The cemetery didn’t see any improvements until 1963, when an automatic irrigation system was installed, trees were removed and roads were graveled. The roads were first paved in 1967. The row of cypress trees that line the road from the entrance to the office building were planted by the Camp Fire Girls in 1960. In order to be buried in Dearborn, you need to either be a resident within the Pomerado Cemetery District, or you need a relative buried in the cemetery. With space remaining in the current developed land and another 30 acres waiting to be leveled, there will be room for Powegians to find their final resting place at Dearborn for many years to come.
While Dearborn has a number of distinctive gravestones, most in the cemetery are flat, as upright grave markers were no longer allowed after 1978, unless it was to match a pre-existing upright gravestone, such as a spouse buried before 1978. This was done because of the maintenance required on upright gravestones, and to make it easier to keep the grounds landscaped. The memorial park does about 100 burials a year, which is down from the 150 a year they did prior to the economic downturn. “Things are starting to turn around,” said Linda Robison, the cemetery’s general manager. Information about the self-guided tour, including a map to historic burials, can be obtained in the cemetery’s office, 14361 Tierra Bonita Road, on the day of the tour. The cemetery grounds are open 24 hours a day for visitation.
