:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER “Wow. Really, really well done!” “It’s great to see all the people I know in the magazine.” “We love this new publication!” “I sat down and read the magazine cover to cover.” “What a great addition to the Poway community.” “Everyone is talking about the new 92064 Magazine. Congratulations.” “We received an outstanding response to our advertising in 92064 Magazine.” Welcome to the latest issue of 92064 Magazine. The comments above are just some examples of what we’ve heard since the initial issue was published two months ago. Simply put, we are overwhelmed by the positive response, from both readers and advertisers. We realize that expectations are high for the future of the publication (and the www.92064Magazine.com website). Residents of Poway and the surrounding area obviously want to read about local friends and neighbors, see colorful photographs of family members involved in activities and events in the community, and get information in an easy-to-read format on what’s happening close to home. We will continue to strive to deliver that to our readers. Our phones and email inboxes were busy the first day the premiere issue of 92064 Magazine reached mailboxes in Poway in June, with messages of congratulations, thanks, and many suggestions on future articles and content ideas. We delivered that first issue to every single family home and condominium in U.S. Postal Service Zip Code 92064 (which includes all of Poway). In addition, hundreds were distributed in strategically located racks throughout the community. It is truly exciting to be a part of something so successful so quickly. Readers reacted with such emotion, telling us how much they enjoyed spending time with the publication. Advertisers in the first issue were thrilled with the positive response to their messages. And many, many other business people contacted us to be a part of future issues of 92064 Magazine. We’re humbled, and we’re pleased to give you the latest issue – with new information on what’s happening in your neighborhood. Keep the comments coming, along with your suggestions, story ideas, photos and submissions for the publication. BE SURE TO CHECK out the Summer Movies in the Park’s outdoor film series: “Toy Story 3” on Aug. 20, and “Tangled” on Sept. 3 – sponsored in part by 92064 Magazine.

New VFW Post Commander Welcomes Veterans, Friends, Neighbors, Families by JENNIFER SOUSA
C
ol. Barry Cronin (USMC, ret.) first moved to Poway in 1998 and right away began to make his face known in the community. Cronin, the Deputy Chief of Police at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, recently was elected the Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7907 in Poway – and he’s anxious to welcome new members and visitors. “Please come visit our Post,” Cronin said. “We’re proud of our post and love to show it off, to veterans and friends, family, and all of our neighbors in this beautiful little town of Poway.” The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of the United States, with its Auxiliaries, includes 2.3 million members in approximately 8,400 Posts worldwide. The VFW helps homeless veterans, and others – with a goal to preserve and support the patriotic and historical interests of this country, community and its veterans. Cronin has sworn to uphold this goal for the next year that he is in office as Commander of his Post – a mission he has been upholding for the majority of his life. In 1978, after graduating from Officer Candidate School, Cronin was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. This was the start of a career that would take him around the world. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from St. Anselm College in 1975 and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from National University in 1981. After 30 years of military service, he retired as a Marine and lives in Poway with his wife, Karen. Cronin said his goals for the local VFW Post next year are “new membership, increased community outreach to the citizens of Poway, and Veteran’s advocacy.” Other elected officers for the Post include Jr. Vice Commander Alan Helton, Post Adjutant Richard Graham, Trustee Harry Mrocznski, Ways and Means Chuck Tomko, Quartermaster Vern Dumolt, Officer Greg Clark, and House Committee Chair Gilbert Ramirez. The Ladies Auxiliary includes President Sally Raffelson, Sr. Vice President Lisa Dumolt, Jr. Vice President Patti Canigila, Treasurer Sherri Mitchell, Chaplain Carol Ostrom, Secretary Sheri Dunbar, Trustee 1 Cat Forrest, Trustee 2 Karen Lewellen, Trustee 3 Linda Miller, Guard Judy Hill, and Conductress Rachel Rocha. Meetings for this organization are at VFW Post 7907 on Old Pomerado Road on the third Thursday of each month for general meetings, and the second Tuesday of each month for the Ladies Auxiliary. ¢ 14

Poway High Graduate Helps Put Life-Saving Devices into School by JENNIFER SOUSA
“I
just started out wanting one AED and I ended up with a district-wide program! I’m so happy and amazed that all of this happened.” Those are the words of 19-year-old Katherine Morris. It all started her sophomore year at Poway High School. She was a lifeguard at the school’s pool, and even though she had CPR/First Aid training – a requirement of the school in order to work with the students – she noticed that they did not have an AED, or Automated External Defilbrillator. “An AED is a portable device that analyzes heart rhythms and can shock a heart back into its normal rhythm in the event of a cardiac arrest,” Morris said. So she decided to make her senior project goal to obtain an AED for her school. When her senior year came about, she started working on purchasing the AED. Having seen the ads for San Diego Project Heart Beat (SDPHB) at the movie theaters, she decided to contact them to see how she would
facebook.com/92064magazine
go about getting the device. She learned that it would cost $1,900 and that there were grants available to help with the cost. To obtain the $1,900 device, Morris started teaching CPR/AED/First Aid classes during her senior year, and even held bake sales during events at the pool to raise money. While she was teaching the classes, San Diego Project Heart Beat (SDPHB) – a local organization with the goal of placing AEDs in public places – informed her she had received a grant and only needed to raise half of the money. But Morris was so excited, she eventually raised the entire amount – making it possible to purchase two AEDs for the school. Her enthusiasm created a spark and soon Morris – who graduated in 2010 and is now attending San Diego State University majoring in pre-nursing – was approached by SDPHB for a larger project. “It turns out that SDPHB had been looking to start a district-wide AED program with Poway Unified School District, and they asked me to help arrange to talk at an
August | September 2011
upcoming all-district PTA meeting,” Morris said, resulting in the training of 30 people on how to save a life utilizing an AED. ¢ For additional information on San Diego Project Heart Beat, visit www.sdprojectheartbeat.com.

rooke Stark is a very inspirational young person. A Poway resident since she was 2 years old, Brooke – the daughter of Kathleen and Peter Stark – has a brother, 21-year-old Barron, who just entered the U.S. Navy; and a little sister, Brianne, age 10. But she also has an “angel sister”: Brittany, who would be 26 today, and who provides the emphasis for Brooke’s involvement in Donate Life. “Brittany passed away from ARVD, a rare cardiac disease that

left her in need of a heart transplant, which she did not receive in time,” said Brooke, who attends Poway High School. “After she

passed, my family became very involved in the organization, Donate Life.” Brooke runs the sibling support group for Donate Life, while her mother runs the parents support group. Brooke credits her mother and father for her involvement in helping others. “They inspire me to never, ever give up and to help others,” she said. As a result, her volunteer work goes beyond Donate Life. “I am a part of ASB, a Peer Counselor, in the Fight Against Hunger club, and much more,” Brooke noted. She also volunteers at her church’s thrift shop, at the FFCC food packaging events, and she also has a current internship at Palomar Pomerado Hospital – where she is working with the Clinical Career Extender program. Obviously, Brooke is a very busy young woman, and she enjoys every minute of the work that she does. “Many people get really involved in high school because it looks great on college applications, or their parents make them,” she said. “I really love being so involved and having the opportunities to interact and meet some of the greatest people that not only Poway High has to offer, but in the community, and also the hospital.” Brooke hopes that her internship with the hospital will help her in her explorations of what field she hopes to work in one day. Right now she strives to be a nurse, but with all the different areas she is helping in – she might change that to something else. Regardless of where her future leads, though, Brooke is certain it will definitely lead her in the direction of helping others. ¢

Who said you can’t go home again? Matthew and Trisha Jankowski – high school sweethearts at Scripps Ranch High School – first moved to Poway as newlyweds eight years ago, but were forced to move due to career changes. “But we always hoped we would be able to return and raise our family here in Poway,” Trisha said. And return they did, in May this year when Matthew took over as general manager of the local Kahoots Pet Supply store. “Our previous experience in Poway before we had children was awesome,” Trisha said. “We greatly desired having our children someday enrolled in the Poway Unified School District. The time arrived, and we couldn’t be happier.” The family settled into a new home near Old Poway Park, and finally feels truly at home. “We love the rustic feel of the park and the small town atmosphere surrounding us,” Trisha said. “Our neighbors are so friendly and have been so welcoming of us. We feel this is a safe neighborhood where our children will enjoy growing up.” The couple married in 2002 and have never spent a night apart since their wedding day. They have two children: Tanner , age 7, a 2nd grader at Midland Elementary School; and Mykenzi, age 4. Quite athletic, Tanner enjoys baseball and participates in the Mira Mesa youth league. “He was selected to the Shetland Division all star team this year,” said Matthew, who managed the team. “We are very proud of him.”

Mykenzi attends preschool at Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club, where her mother is a pre-school teacher – participating in dance class and planning to be a cheerleader next year. An energetic little girl with a passion for life, Mykenzi was born with congenital heart defects and had to undergo heart surgery when she was only two weeks old. As a result, Mykenzi has a bicuspid aortic valve and a dilated aorta, which are monitored by routine cardiac checks at Rady’s Childrens Hospital. Current research under way could provide Mykenzi with a living heart valve while she is still a child, vastly improving the quality of her life. Without this research, children in Mykenzi’s situation must sometimes wait until they are at least age 30 before receiving a mechanical or pig valve (both of which also require ongoing medication for the patient). As a result, the Jankowskis are looking into ways to organize a 5K run/walk to assist this type of research. “We will keep everyone posted on the fundraiser for Mykenzi’s heart,” Matthew said. “We know how close-knit the community is and we know everyone will want to help a great cause for an awesome, strong, little girl!” In spite of Mykenzi’s condition, the family stays active and loves outdoor activities. “We love camping in Julian, fishing at Poway Lake, surfing at Torrey Pines, snowboarding in Big Bear and participating in youth baseball,” Matthew said. “Every Wednesday evening, we ride bikes to the farmers market and then head to Aubrey Park to have a picnic.” ¢ Know a family that should be profiled in 92064 Magazine?

Poway Rodeo, Parade, Festival and Other Big Events Draw Crowds Year After Year POWAY DAYS PATRIOTIC PARADE
RENDEZVOUS IN POWAY When: 10 am- 4 pm, Sept. 17
Start/end time: Saturday, Sept. 10; 9 am to about 10:30 am Start/end location: Poway Road and Pomerado to Poway Road and Bowron Parade participants: About 100 entrants including high school bands, clowns, military entrants, floats honoring veterans, law enforcement and other support personnel entries, nonprofit organizations, scout troops, schools, dance troupes, local theater groups, and many more. Parade history: At the June 2009 Poway City Council meeting, it was announced that the annual Poway Days Heritage parade would not take place. With ever-increasing budget and manpower constraints, there was simply no one available to organize this much-loved annual event. When learning of the parade’s cancellation, a group of volunteers from across the community came together to “do what it takes” to keep this Poway tradition alive and thus began the Poway Community Association (PCA). In less than eight weeks, on September 12, 2009 – with a record crowd of spectators, over 125 volunteers, 90-plus parade entries and close to $25,000 in sponsorships – the 45th Annual Poway Days Parade was deemed a success on all counts. Immediately after the 2009 parade, the PCA began plans for the 2010 parade. Now, in 2011, it is the commitment of the PCA to continue to promote and support this treasured community activity. More information is available at www.powayca.org.

BeLinda Singer, teacher of middle school and high school students at Temple Adat Shalom’s Mosad Shalom Religious School – and preschool teacher of 4-year-olds for the TAS Ganon Gil preschool – is the San Diego recipient of the Grinspoon-Steinhardt Award for Excellence in Jewish Education for 2011. The award is designed to recognize and honor outstanding teachers in 40 communities across North America who have made a commitment in the field of Jewish education in formal Jewish educational settings (early childhood through grade 12). Award winners need to have received a Pedagogic Award from the Agency for Jewish Education, have a minimum of three years experience in the field, and teach at least six hours per week. Singer was nominated by Mosad Shalom Director of Education Susan Cohn “for her love of children, for her natural gift and talent for teaching all ages, because of her intense curiosity and for her passion for Judaism and Israel.” According to Temple Adat Shalom’s Rabbi David Castiglione, “BeLinda is a beloved teacher within our schools. She is a teacher, guide and resource for the youngest of our students, our middle school students and our senior high school students.” In addition, Ganon Gil Preschool Director Marilyn Milne said, “Each day BeLinda approaches her work with positive energy and unique ideas. BeLinda has exceptional qualities in her ability to relate to children, parents, and families.” The Grinspoon-Steinhardt Award will be presented to Singer at the annual San Diego Back to School Teacher Workshop in August. At that time she will receive national recognition, a $1,000 cash prize and $1,000 Award stipend for her own professional development. In addition, Grinspoon-Steinhardt Award winners become part of a newly formed Community of Practice together with other outstanding educators. In the fall, Singer will continue being a part of the Mosad Shalom Religious School faculty, teaching 7th grade Judaica and 9th grade, and will continue with her class in Ganon Gil Preschool.

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Event Funds Soccer Scholarships
More than $3,000 was raised at the recent Wine Tasting and Silent Auction to fund scholarships for deserving North County soccer players to continue their education after high school. Hosted by Dennis and Maryanne Garon at their Escondido home in July to raise money to support the Gregg Garon Scholarship Fund, the event attracted more than 70 attendees bidding on a variety of items. Among the attendees were present and past presidents of the Poway Soccer Club, Pam Bickel and Beatrice Cubitt. Colin Garon, former coach of the Poway Vaqueros, was the emcee for the event. The volunteer servers were Gregg Garon’s cousins and other family friends. The Gregg Garon Scholarship Fund for high school soccer players was established in 2006 by the Garons in memory of their son Gregg, who passed away at age 36 in 2005. Gregg grew up in Rancho Penasquitos, played in the very first year of the Poway Soccer Club, then continued playing soccer in both PQ and Poway. He also played at Mt. Carmel High school and later coached in both PQ and Poway. To honor Gregg and his love for the game, the scholarship seeks to reward the “unsung heroes” among the soccer players, those with a lot of heart, love for the game and loyalty to their team and teammates. Last year, four scholarships were awarded to Poway and Rancho Penasquitos players. This year’s first recipient is Matt Cubitt, a 2011 graduate of Poway High, who will attend University of California Riverside this fall.
Irish Concert Coming to Poway
Noel Hill, Irish concertina player and Ireland’s 2011 Traditional Musician of the Year, plans a concert at the Templar’s Hall in Old Poway Park at 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 19. The concert will open with local musicians and be followed by an open Irish music session at a location to be announced. Hill began making appearances on Irish television as a teen and went on to form the group Inchiquin with fiddler Tony Linnane. His most celebrated album of those early years is “Noel Hill and Tony Linnane,” which remains a seminal album of Irish music. Into the 1980s, he toured with and was often featured on albums by the group “Planxty” and celebrated singer Christy Moore.

Full Service Plumbing Plus Continues to Build Customer Trust
‘Finding a great plumber doesn’t have to be a draining experience.’ ~ MICHAEL DE SILVA, Plumbing Plus

92064 Magazine
A
family-owned business since 1984, Plumbing Plus has a basic business philosophy: Honesty, integrity and professionalism. “Our reputation cannot be matched,” said owner Michael De Silva, who owns Plumbing Plus with wife Rachael. “The reviews are exceptional, whether from Kudzu. com, Angie’s List members or elsewhere. We are organized, on time and proud of it – and we create personal relationships with our customers. We want to not only be the plumber you can count on, but also be individuals you can count on.” De Silva said one of the company’s strongest attributes is having a well-experienced team. “Our technicians have an average in the field experience of at least 15 years, with a combined experience of 160 years,” he said. “Many of our employees have remained with the com-

pany for up to 16 years – with most on board for at least five years. Our technicians are often requested and have been to the same home several, if not dozens, of times.” A full-service plumbing company for both residential and commercial needs, Plumbing Plus offers 24-hour emergency service – including holidays. “There is no job we can’t handle,” noted De Silva. “We specialize in full service; the same technician that can clear your drain can repair your water lines, install your fixtures or provide a proposal for a remodel. The majority of companies can’t say that.” De Silva said the team works hard to build and maintain the trust of customers. “Our technicians are subject to routine background and DMV checks and drug testing to ensure quality and – most of all – customers’ peace of mind and trust,” he said. “Plumbing Plus is licensed, bonded, insured and has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.” In addition, Plumbing Plus features a flat rate pricing structure. “We don’t charge for the speed or lack of speed in which a plumber can complete his work. Pricing is always given upfront, and a printed, legible contract is in our customers’ hands before any work is started,” De Silva explained. “No gimmicks, no surprises – just a price for the job and a job done right at that price.” Plumbing Plus technicians are fitted with fully stocked trucks facebook.com/92064magazine

ready to solve most any plumbing problem, according to De Silva. “Our technicians are also equipped with laptops, printers and smart phones enabling them to send and receive email, photos and documents direct to customers as well as in the field research,” he said. “They keep customers informed every step of the way in a timely manner.” A native of San Diego, De Silva began his career in plumbing in 2000 at Plumbing Plus, working his way up from apprentice and journeyman plumber to become owner when the company’s founder, Joe Christenson, retired. He and Rachael have three children, including 5-year-old twins, and another child on the way. Early on at Plumbing Plus, De Silva said he learned the importance of listening to customers’ needs and providing peace of mind for them. “Very simply, we care. Our employees are great people; if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be employed by us,” he said. “We want everyone to know that they can always trust Plumbing Plus with all their plumbing needs. Quality and honesty is why we have been successful for nearly 30 years. After all…finding a great plumber doesn’t have to be a draining experience.” ¢ Plumbing Plus is located at 12147 Kirkham Road, Suite A in Poway.

Poway Library Offers Residents Programs, Services, Technology, Music…And Books Too!
P
oway Branch Library – established in 1913 – is a part of the San Diego County Library system, which has 33 branches and two bookmobiles. In fiscal 2009-2010, the county-wide libraries circulated more than 10.7 million books, CDs, DVDs and other materials; recorded 5.7 million visits; and hosted 21,132 individual library programs. Branch Manager Judy Chatterjee is a five-year veteran at the Poway facility, which is located at 13137 Poway Road. Chatterjee answered questions from 92064 Magazine about the local library, its history, and some of the unique programs for residents.
A
with the Branch Manager
Below: Judy Chatterjee Branch Manager of the Poway Branch Library
92064 Question: What is the history of the library in Poway? Chatterjee: The Poway Branch Library was established in 1913. To meet the demands of the growing community the library had to change its location several times. The present Poway Community Library is celebrating its 13th year in this beautiful Spanish style building – which is owned by the City of Poway, while the County of San Diego provides the service for the library. 92064 Question: Can you describe the biggest changes in the library today compared to when it first opened? Chatterjee: Technology has been the biggest change. The library has 20 computer stations with internet access for the public. The library offers complimentary wireless Internet access in the building. Patrons can bring their laptops or WiFi-enabled devices and start working in a quiet environment. EnvisionWare Timeout software has been installed on our internet-enabled computers, eliminating the need for sign-up sheets; instead, everybody gets two hours of uninterrupted time with their library card and PIN number. Our staff assists patrons in creating PIN numbers. The San Diego County Library has installed the Early Literacy Station at the Poway Branch in the children’s area. The ELS is packed with top rated developmental programs and geared for kids from ages 2 to 8. Last year San Diego County Library added RFID technology for checking out books and media. And, recently, the print copy control for public computing has been installed.

92064 Question: Can you describe the San Diego County Library system, of which Poway is a part? Chatterjee: San Diego County Library is comprised of 33 branch libraries and two bookmobiles. One third of SDCL branches are open seven days a week. Most branches have active Friends of the Library groups that support the individual libraries through raising funds for materials and programs.

hunting, resume assistance, and free entertainment for all ages.

Chatterjee: Anybody can be a member of the Poway Community library.

Chatterjee: The library is open seven days a week and we hope you will join us in the library, or visit our website at www.sdcl.org to check out materials, use our comprehensive online databases, or just to let us know how we can better serve you.

We seek to enrich library resources through membership, tangible gifts, and pertinent legislative action at the local, state and national levels.” According to Rios, the volunteer support is absolutely necessary to the Poway Branch Library because of the continuing library budget restraints from the County of San Diego (Poway Library is a part of the San Diego County Library system). “We generally raise somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000 per year through bookstore sales, special book sales, collectible book sales and membership,”

Licensing Helps Keep Poway Dogs Safe by JENNIFER SOUSA
E
veryone has seen, at some point, a sign for a lost dog. But ways exist to help prevent the need for those signs, and one of them is licensing. “There are currently 4,790 dogs licensed in the city of Poway,” said Katie Woolsey, the Public Relations Coordinator for the Escondido Humane Society (EHS), which services Poway. That might seem like a lot of dogs, but unfortunately, there is no way of knowing how many are not licensed. A license can help to reunite a pet and its owner. When a Poway pet has lost its way, and it is picked up by a Good Samaritan or a kind-hearted Animal Control Officer, the pet is taken to EHS. “We hold stray animals for five days to ensure their owners have ample time to find their lost pet,” Woolsey said. When a pet arrives, the humane society staff looks over the animal. They make note of the animals breed, color, general condition, and whether or not there is some sort of identification to help find the owner, like a license secured on a collar. “Our priority
is to reunite animals with their owners, and we make every effort to make that happen,” Woolsey explained. There are, however, penalties for the escaped pet. When the owner has verified that the impounded animal is their pet, there are fees to have them released – and these fees can get very pricey, if your pet is not licensed. ”We will not release unlicensed dogs back to their owners until they are licensed. That requires a rabies vaccination, which we also provide here at EHS,” Woolsey said. Every pet in California is required to be licensed and have the rabies vaccination, from the age of four months on. The rabies vaccinations last for one year when the pet is first vaccinated, and three years thereafter. Dog owners must purchase a license within 30 days after reaching the age of four months, within 30 days of acquiring the dog, or within 30 days after entering the area. This is to ensure that your animal can be easily found if it escapes. It also lets people know that the animal has been properly

Coach Gonzalez: We are excited for the 2011-2012 season as we make our push to be league champions and win a CIF title. 92064 Question: What are your team’s strengths entering the upcoming season?

Coach Gonzalez: I enjoy the opportunity and challenge to develop our studentathletes’ character through the game of football. 92064 Question: What was your inspiration for getting into coaching? Coach Gonzalez: Football has always been a passion for me because it developed who I became as a person.

Renaissance Village Academy: An Exciting Option for Gifted and Motivated Students
E
ven the name has special meaning at Renaissance Village Academy. “We want to create and nurture ‘Renaissance’ men and women, citizens who understand the world around them in all its glory and diversity – the natural world, the social world, and the political world,” said Nancy Retter, RVA Director and Principal Teacher. “The best way to help children grow and learn is to create a sense of community where we all look out for one another, hence a ‘Village’. Finally, the name ‘Academy’ takes its inspiration from Plato’s Academy in Athens, where Plato taught his followers to think using the Socratic Method. Because knowledge without thought is just information, children must learn how to think about what they’ve learned, how to judge the accuracy/biases of their sources, and how to weigh conflicting information to form their own conclusions.” A private school designed to meet the needs of gifted (top 2 percent), profoundly gifted (top 0.1 percent), and highly motivated students, RVA gets kids interested again in learning. “We get kids excited…,” Retter said. “Often gifted students find learning easy. With little effort they can get the top grades. So they develop the idea, at a subconscious level, that any assignment or project requiring mental effort on their part isn’t worth doing.” Retter said RVA counters that situation. “We don’t teach at students, we talk to them. Learning and teaching should be a conversation, not a lecture,” she said. “It’s a shared experience of exploration and discovery. The teacher must discover where each child is in relation to the standards and expectations in order to lead them to discovering all they can truly accomplish.” Founded in March 2010, RVA is a full-time program for students working at the 4th grade level up through 9th grade. “Our students gain from exceptional circumstances and opportunities every single day. And one of the differences our students consistently mention is that they’re not bored,” said Retter. “High expectations are the norm. Self-esteem is built through actual achievement.” A highly experienced teacher with multiple credentials, Retter graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Russian Civilization) from University of California, Irvine. She completed the Credential Program at San Diego State University and received her Masters of Arts in Teaching at National University in 2003. “I founded Renaissance Village Academy because I’m passionately devoted to meeting the needs of gifted, profoundly gifted, and highlymotivated students,” she said, noting her years working in local schools with GATE and other programs firsthand. “These experiences inform my philosophy towards homework – less is more. Just because children are gifted doesn’t mean they need to do twice as much work as others. The quality of assignments is of greater importance than the quantity thereof.” ¢ Renaissance Village Academy is located at 9988 Hibert St., #301, San Diego, CA 92131. For more information, contact Director and Principal Teacher Nancy Retter via email at director@rva.us.com or phone at 858-564-9622, or visit www.rva.us.com. 44

he first thing many visitors notice is just how quiet it is. Located just off busy, traffic-laden Espola Road in Poway, the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve – a 700-acre oak-lined canyon flanked by coastal sage scrub and chaparral-covered hills – is only a very short distance from the hustle-and-bustle of daily life and the speeding cars on the roadway. But it seems a world away. “In a very short time, the car engine noise disappears and the sound of birds – and lizards scuttling in the undergrowth – envelops you,” said Annie Ransom, an interpretive specialist at Blue Sky, home to a wide variety of flora, fauna and wildlife. Slated for development in the 1980s, today’s reserve once was used as a vehicle thoroughfare to Ramona and as a dumping ground – but a group of concerned citizens worked to secure a grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board, California Dept of Fish and Game to purchase 400-plus acres in 1989 to begin the reserve. The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation and the City of Poway have purchased additional acreage over the years. Today, it is jointly managed by State Fish and Game, the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, and the City of Poway, with the city’s Interpretive Services Division overseeing daily operations. Blue Sky supports a number of sensitive species (such as

delicate clarkias, orange-throated whiptails and coast horned lizards) in four distinct habitats – all in such close proximity to each other as to create unique biological diversity. The four habitats include coastal sage scrub, mixed chaparral, a riparian corridor, and oak woodlands. Animal inhabitants include mountain lions, deer, bobcats, quail, raptors, roadrunners, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, bats, and many reptiles and amphibians. “What makes it special is it is as diverse as our visitors,” Ransom said. “For some it’s a natural environment in which to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, a place to destress; for some it fulfills their love of nature and the outdoors; and, for others, it’s a safe area to hike or walk their dogs.” The reserve’s trails are open to the public free of charge during daylight hours, according to Ransom – featuring brilliant colors of wild flowers on the hillsides in spring, singing birds, and a shady, tree-lined creek providing an inviting escape for a nature walk. More information on the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve, the trails, and a variety of programs and activities is available at www.poway.org or www.blueskyreserve.com.org. ¢ Friends of Blue Sky Canyon – a nonprofit public benefit corporation – was founded by an informal citizens’ group to preserve and protect Blue Sky. The group promotes educational and interpretive activities at the reserve, providing funding for the purchase of items needed for docent and public education, such as binoculars, library books, videos, slide projectors, taxidermy display animals and science displays. Volunteers are always encouraged to join by emailing contact@blueskyreserve.org.

Gyminny Kids Proud of Staff’s Talent, Background by ZEENA GREGG
N
orth County Gymnastics & The Gyminny Kids – an educational gymnastics facility for individuals age 15 mon. to adults – focuses on the sport, without the competitive push so all can excel at their own pace. But it’s the size and extensive background of the staff that impresses many students. Owned and operated by Liz Mullarkey and Rob Bryson since 1986, Gyminny Kids strives to bring fitness to all ages in a fun and exciting atmosphere. From preschool age to adult gymnastics, camps, birthday parties, acro and cheerleading classes, and their newest program – Motion Evolution – Gyminny Kids has something for everyone. And, according to Mullarkey, it’s the caring, talented, friendly staff with an extensive background that impresses many students and parents. “We range from an Asian National Champion to an instructor whose certifications are from his home country (England), to 20-somethings, former high school/collegiate gymnasts, and high school coaches,”
Mullarkey said. “We have instructors coached by Olympic coaches, who are personal trainers, who have gymnastics judging certifications – and who were former Gyminny Kids students themselves.” Mullarkey said Gyminny Kids’ experienced 18-member staff works off specific curriculums and lesson plans at all levels, including toddlers. “They keep track in their notebooks each hour relative to each child’s progress so they can move to the next level as needed,” she said. Another integral part of the curriculum is following the Character Counts Program, also used by Poway Unified School District. “We pride ourselves in being designated as the only private Children’s Gold Medal Activity Center through the program in San Diego County,” said Mullarkey. Gyminny Kids is located at 17022 Camino San Bernardo in 4S Ranch. For more information call 858-451-0201, email gkgymnst@aol.com, or visit www.gyminnykids.com. ¢

:::: COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
After 40 Years in Public Service, Krans Still Reaching Out to Help by JENNIFER SOUSA
A
Name: Robert “Bob” William Krans Age: 63 Residence: Upper Windmill community, Poway Family: Married (Barbara); three children; three grandchildren Affiliation: Kiwanis Club of Poway Purpose: “Changing the world one community, one child at a time.” Contact: www.powaykiwanis.org

fter 40 years with the Poway Fire Department, Bob Krans is still making a huge impact on the community of Poway. Since the tender age of 16, Krans has lived in Poway. “When I moved here, there were fewer than 8,000 people with only one traffic light. When the first four buildings in the industrial park were built, I was there as the Fire Marshal and got to inspect, pass and occupy those. We are currently approaching population in Poway of 50,000.” As the town of Poway grew, so did Krans’s heart for reaching out to help the community. “When I retire, I want to become a part of one of the service organizations,” Krans once told his wife, Barbara. So Krans joined the Poway Kiwanis Club because “it was the friendliest, had the least amount of fines, and the people were so friendly and outgoing.” The local Kiwanis club donates to several worthy causes and charities. “We put on the annual Bark in the Park event. It was a lot of fun and very successful,” he said. “Proceeds all went towards our youth scholarship program and Rady’s Children’s Hospital.” As a former board member of the American Heart Association – which he started working with 10 years prior to his retirement – Krans did training for CPR and talked to groups of people about heart attacks and strokes. He was also the local organization’s media liaison and helped in various areas of education. Krans currently is involved in the Supply our Schools Program, which provides supplies to school teachers to ensure students have the proper supplies. He is also a member of the Poway Chamber of Commerce board. Even though Krans devotes countless hours to so many organizations and events, he also loves spending time with kids, especially his grandchildren. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
Cut Costs and Help the Environment
Simple Suggestions Can Reduce Energy Bills in Inland North County Homes
W
ant to reduce your energy bills this summer? Then a few handy tips from the California Energy Commission can help out local residents. According to the commission, it costs roughly – on average, depending upon geography – $1,900 per year for energy in the typical California home. But steps can be taken to lower those costs, and help the environment at the same time. Some of the suggestions from the commission include: • Be a speedy chef: Nothing is more energy efficient for cooking than a microwave. It uses two-thirds less energy than a conventional stove. • Push a button to wash your dishes: A dishwasher actually uses less water than washing dishes by hand. Let dishes air-dry to save even more energy. • Fill up the fridge: Having lots of food in the refrigerator keeps it from warming up too fast when the door is open. • Turn up the thermostat: Most Inland North County homes have air conditioning. Much energy can be saved simply by setting the thermostat to 78 degrees when at home and 85 degrees or off when away. Using ceiling or room fans allows for an even higher thermostat setting because the air movement will cool the room. Always take into account health considerations and be sure to drink plenty of fluids in warm weather. Actual savings can be as much a one to three percent per degree, for each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees. • Use appliances wisely: o To help prevent electricity outages, avoid running appliances during peak hours – from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. – or anytime an electricity emergency is declared. o Do laundry efficiently by using the warm or cold water setting for washing your clothes. Always use cold water to rinse clothes. Savings can be as much as four percent. o When drying clothes, run full loads, use the moisture-sensing setting, and clean the clothes dryer lint trap after each use. These procedures can save up to a halfpercent. o Operate the dishwasher only when it is fully loaded, and turn off the dry cycle and air dry dishes instead – which can save up to one percent. • Operate pool filters and cleaning sweeps efficiently: Reduce the operating time of swimming pool filters and auto54
92064 Magazine
matic cleaning sweeps to four-to-five hours, and only during off-peak time. This can save one-to-two percent per hour of reduction. • Eliminate wasted energy: o Turn off appliances, lights and equipment when not in use, saving up to two percent. o Unplug electronic devices and chargers when they aren’t in use. Most new electronics use electricity even when switched “off”, so turn computers and printers off at the power strip. These steps can save one-to-two percent. o Unplug or recycle that spare refrigerator in the garage if it’s not really needed. This will save up to $150 per year, or 1020 percent! • Replace air conditioner filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to run longer, increasing energy use. Replace filters monthly for maximum benefit, and a cost savings of one-to-two percent. • Plug the leaks: Weather-strip, seal, and caulk leaky doors and windows and install foam gaskets behind outlet covers. This is inexpensive and can save an astounding two percent in energy costs. • Install new or additional window shading: Install patio covers, awnings, and solar window screens to shade the home from the sun. For additional future savings, use strategically planted trees, shrubs and vines to shade the dwelling. This can save up to five percent. • Seal the ducts: Leaking ductwork accounts for 25 percent of cooling costs in an average home (though this may not be applicable to newer dwellings in 92127), so have the ducts tested and have any leaks or restrictions repaired by a qualified contractor. Be aware that duct cleaning is not the same as duct sealing. In older homes, this can save as much as a 10 to 20 percent savings. While the savings noted are only estimates and will vary by region in California, these suggestions from the California Energy Commission certainly point out the opportunities to conserve electrical resources and save money for other purposes. For additional information on cost-savings techniques, programs sponsored by the CEC, and rebates available for purchasing new appliances, visit www.consumerenergycenter.org.

Thousands Eligible for Electric Discounts Not Participating
R
ecent research by San Diego Gas & Electric determined that approximately 15 percent of customers eligible for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) Program – which offers a significant savings each month in utility costs – are not currently enrolled. Throughout the service territory there are currently 300,424 residents currently enrolled in the CARE program, which can reduce monthly bills by as much as 35 percent. About 55,000 residents are eligible but not currently enrolled, according to SDG&E. Even more might now be eligible because the income guidelines were raised June 1. “The CARE program is designed to provide relief for those that need it right now and we want all of the eligible customers to take advantage of this savings,” said Hal Synder, SDG&E vice president of customer solutions. “SDG&E is actively reaching out to customers through direct mail, phone calls, door-to-door campaigns and more to educate possible CARE recipients. We make it easy to enroll by not requiring income verification so customers can quickly submit their application and start taking advantage of the cost savings within about 30 days of being approved.” Eligibility is based on the number of people living in the
facebook.com/92064magazine
house and total yearly income, or participation by any person in the household in one of these public assistance programs: Medi-Cal; Food Stamps; TANF; Women, Infants & Children (WIC); Healthy Families, Categories A and B, or LIHEAP. The new income guidelines as of June 1, 2011 are:
Household Members 1-2 3 4 5 6 Each Additional Member
CARE $31,800 $37,400 $45,100 $52,800 $60,500 add $7,700
“I would definitely recommend this program to others and feel very thankful to SDG&E for providing this discount,” said current SDG&E customer and CARE recipient Maggie Comans. For more information on customer assistance programs, or to apply for CARE online, visit www.sdge.com/residential/assistance, email: billdiscount@sdge.com or call 1-800-411-SDGE (7343). ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Identity Theft?
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You The increasing danger of identity theft requires everyone to use additional care. Here are some tips on avoiding your credit cards from becoming compromised: Watch your back: You’re standing at the checkout counter with your credit card in hand. That person behind you acting as if they are looking at their cell phone screen could actually be taking a picture of your credit card number and expiration date. Watch your trash: You throw away expired credit cards, deposit slips, paid bills, even preapproved credit card offers. Identity thieves can wander neighborhoods on trash days, finding a gold mine of information. Watch that debit card: You use your debit card instead of your credit card. When hackers hack retail data bases, they have direct access into your account. Watch your mailbox: You rejoice when that bill doesn’t arrive or the masses of preapproval credit card applications stop arriving. Think again, especially if your mailbox is not secure; likely the thief has what you don’t.
Jeri Winberg 14677 Via Bettona, Suite 115 San Diego, CA 92127 (619) 997-8744 jeri.winberg@bankofamerica.com
Jeri Winberg has lived in San Diego since 1977, in North County since 1986. She has been working with clients and Bank of America for 27+ years making financial sense out of their mortgage dollars.
Watch your passwords: You write them down in the most obvious places and don’t change them often enough. Changing them monthly or more often, while a hassle, is best for your security and peace of mind. So protect your information (all of it), deter the thieves, and save your credit score. The time, effort, and cost to repair are huge and the impact to the score is staggering. ¢
