Household Fiscal Year?
W
Derrick Breaux Publisher
hile many businesses use a calendar year for convenient accounting purposes, I’ve come to realize that the vast majority of people actually run their homes similar to a fiscal year basis. Sure, everyone likes to gear up and prepare for the big symbolic New Year celebration, but for most families, Jan. 1 merely marks the halfway point on the annual journey of household responsibility and schedules. Shouldn’t there be a big prize waiting for each of us when we finish the year? A calendar year ending in December doesn’t seem very exciting. Kids go back to school in January – certainly no prize for most of them. Tax season is looming right after the beginning of the new calendar year. Again, not very exciting for most of us. Although technically a new year, everyone is typically still quite involved with trying to get through their fiscal year. What I mean by this is that the end of the year for most families seems to take place in June. That’s right… June is officially the end of our household fiscal year. June is when kids finish school – in fact, many kids graduate or get promoted to the next grade. It is the month that moms and dads are typically limping through the finish line donating their final volunteer hours in the classrooms (I have to admit that I’ve read a few hilarious postings about this in some of my recent social media binges). Spring sports are finishing up. The gift of warm weather is upon us. Summer must be the end-of-year prize! Although we are spoiled in San Diego and blessed with beautiful weather year round, I still love summer. Summer brings freedom for kids – I’m sure some parents may argue that it can also bring boredom. Summer is a time for family vacations, trips to the beach, outside barbeques, walks with the dog, playing outside until sunset, and creating lifelong memories. For my daughter who recently graduated from high school, summer is a time of transition. It marks the end of a huge chapter in her life and the beginning of the rest of her adult life. The start of her new household fiscal year comes with unlimited promise, excitement, uncertainty, exploration, dedication, and nervousness – all wrapped up into a couple of months. Perhaps we should all rethink the traditional New Year celebration concept. What we should all really be celebrating is a Year “End” party (in June). I see the Year End celebration as a festive event where adults get to congratulate each other for actually making it through the year in one piece. The occasion should include high fives, hugs, toasts, and perhaps, some type of victory dance. I definitely think that we might be on to something here. I hope everyone has a great summer!

f you’ve read our cover feature within this issue, you’ll know that Poway certainly has a rich history! With a plethora of landmarks and traditions peppered across 92064, it’s no wonder that local residents have embraced the old and made it new. For the Old Fashioned Fourth of July, Poway residents celebrated Independence Day in vintage style with steam trains and train robbery reenactments, photo ops with Uncle Sam, iron working demonstrations, patriotic arts and crafts, and classic picnic treats like apple pie, ice cream, and corn on the cob. Live entertainment featured Shawn Rohlf and the Buskers, Pomerado Community Band, Jackstraws, and more. There’s plenty of “old fashioned” entertainment to come later this year, so head to www.poway.org to stay up-to-date. ¢

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD JOHN WISMONT’S ART HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY by LYDIA COBB | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
J
ohn Wismont is one of Southern California’s premier graphic artists. He grew up in the lower east side of Manhattan. In his youth he visited the library, which provided pen and paper and inspiration in books. “My first drawing was a wild horse, his nostrils flaring and front leg muscles clearly extended as if to strike at an opponent,” shared John Wismont. “I’ve been drawing ever since.” The Guinness Book of World Records lists John as “The World’s Most Prolific Portrait Painter (1978–1987)” when he worked at Disneyland and produced 45,000 watercolor portraits of visitors. John is a graduate of the High School of Industrial Arts in New York City. He has a B.A. in Illustration from CSU Long Beach and is a member of the Southern California Cartoonist Society. He has written a country song and produced a children’s TV show – all part of his creative expression. Readers can find his closest mural at Phileas Foggs pub in Poway. His largest mural, on the Louis Bank of Commerce building in the Gaslamp, was commissioned by then-mayor Roger Hedgecock. Along nine walls, the mural honors San Diegans who made a significant contribution to the city. However, the mural may be “brushed over” by progress. “Because potential new owners have indicated that removal of the mural is imminent, another option is raising the funds to remove the mural and place it on view for the public,” revealed John. The campaign, with stories of the profiled leaders, is online at www.storiesfromthemural.com. As a member of Poway Kiwanis, his volunteerism includes heading the Art in the Park committee’s seasonal events. “The biggest accomplishment through Art in the Park is seeing the smile on children’s faces when they put a craft together and then show it to their parents,” he explained. He meets weekly with Poway Pen and Ink at Café Lily (or Poinsettia Recreation Center) for sharing and writing critiques. Ironically, the group formed when a class called “How to Get Published” was unexpectedly canceled. The Wismonts have lived in Poway since 1982. He attends a Tai Chi class in Old Poway Park on Thursdays, and especially looks forward to family gatherings. From his studio on Adrian Street, he directs his projects – a mural for his daughter’s house depicting an ocean scene, Art in the Park, and Stories from the Mural. He’s come a long way since first drawing a horse – tens of thousands of paintings later. ¢ Name: Occupation: Community: Hobbies/Interests: Favorite Local Spots:

:::: HEALTHY SMILES
Can I straighten teeth without braces? The answer is yes, with Invisalign. Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. Traditionally you just pop in a new aligner every two weeks and your teeth move. Since patients’ number one concern before starting is how long treatment will take, Propel has come to the rescue. PROPEL works with the patient’s own biology by stimulating the bone surrounding the teeth; helping the teeth move faster and more predictably into their ideal position. The result allows us to provide the same Invisalign Treatments but with much shorter treatment times. Treatment is typically 50% faster with PROPEL treatment! Usually, each Invisalign aligner needs to be worn for 22 hours per day for 2 weeks to obtain the desired result. Most cases are 12 months in length and most need to have at least one refinement consisting of multiple additional aligners. PROPEL Orthodontics is a newly introduced system that speeds Invisalign treatment, with aligner changes twice as fast at 7 to10 days, and with reduced or no need for refinements. A 12 month treatment can then be completed in as little as 6 months.

Tony Gwynn was not only a world-renowned ball player, but a philanthropist at heart in San Diego along with the work through the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation. After retirement from professional baseball, Tony also devoted his time as a head baseball coach at his alma mater, SDSU. County Supervisor Dave Roberts shared, “Tony Gwynn embodied the principles of hard work, teamwork, and good humor for all of us. To watch him control a bat and deftly place a line drive between short and third was exciting. But watching him work off the field, setting an example of good sportsmanship for kids was just as exciting.” Debra Rosen, President and CEO of the North San Diego Business Chamber, shared a close relationship with the Gwynn family. Debra recollected that two years ago, Tony attended the Chamber’s annual dinner, despite fighting cancer at the time. “He had just had a treatment that day and we could all tell he wasn’t feeling well,” said Debra. “When we asked why he came, he proudly said ‘You asked me to be here and I came. When I make a commitment I keep it.’ That was one of Tony’s greatest strengths, he was a gentleman with the highest of integrity and a role model for many.” Even Poway Mayor Don Higginson shared a special connection to Tony. “Tony is certainly a legend in the baseball world. But the first day my son came home from Poway High, raving about this awesome kid named Anthony Jr. in his math class, I could tell firsthand the type of father Tony Gwynn was. His love for life and infectious laugh left an indelible impression on me and so many others in the community. While he will always be known as Mr. San Diego, Poway will always claim him as one of our own.” A public memorial was held on June 26 at Petco Park, where fans, friends and family were invited to gather and remember Tony Gwynn. His commemorative statue out front was covered in gifts and keepsakes from devoted fans. ¢

NO FEAT IS TOO BIG FOR BARRY CUNNINGHAM by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
F
or 20-year-old Barry Cunningham, life comes with its share of challenges. Barry has Williams Syndrome – a genetic condition marked by remarkable social and music skills paired with difficulties in social cognition, developmental delays and some health issues. But anyone who knows Barry will tell you that he does not let anything stand in his way. Rather, Barry faces life’s obstacles head-on with confidence, eagerness and vigor. Barry has many interests. Aside from dancing, and playing the guitar and piano (he aspires to become a professional musician), he especially likes sports. “Softball and baseball are my two favorite sports because I like playing them with friends that have a disability,” Barry offered. “I play basketball with Poway Challenger League, baseball with University City Challenger League, and bowling with Poway Special Needs Group.”

He is also part of the Poway Special Olympics softball team, where his team took home the regional gold medal last season. “Barry is super excited about the Jack-O-Smash 5000 5K/1K and Family Festival at the Sportsplex in Poway in November,” added his mother, Jody. “His softball team, the Poway Padres, will be playing a softball game against some big celebrities. Barry and his teammates are so excited!” Barry attends the Abraxas Continuation High School where he is encouraged to work a new job each semester. So far, he has worked at Kaminski’s, Armstrong Nursery, Home Goods, and Souplantation. “I like jobs where I can be with people,” Barry explained. Speaking of being with people, Barry enjoys volunteering at the Valley Elementary preschool and helping coach basketball for Poway Challenger League. “This summer I am also volunteering at the Incarnation Lutheran Church to help with their Vacation Bible School,” he added. In addition to Barry’s large family, who are his biggest fans, he receives support from his school teacher, Mr. Jan Bugaski. “The best part [about school] is my teacher,” said Barry. “He really understands me and helps me make good decisions. He is one of my best friends.” Barry also looks to his parents for encouragement. “My mom, Jody, and my step-dad, Mark, inspire me, because they push me hard and that’s how I become a better person,” Barry shared. But, as Jody pointed out, Barry is the one who tends to inspire others. “I wish I could be more like him,” shared Jody. “He teaches me patience and compassion… Barry is my biggest inspiration.” ¢

New and Uncharted Territory
TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW NORTH SAN DIEGO BUSINESS CHAMBER
A
name change is often symbolic of a fresh start, casting off the old in favor of the new and uncharted. The San Diego North Chamber of Commerce has officially changed their name, creating a new identity while still maintaining the same level of service and commitment that their reputation upholds. Presenting to northern San Diego, the new and improved North San Diego Business Chamber. According to North San Diego Business Chamber President and CEO Debra Rosen, the old name and logo “no longer defined our membership and was not representative of the area we serve.” Their goal was to create a name that reflected the larger geographic area that encompasses their members, from down near Interstate 8 to the northern border of Murietta. With their new logo of two figures with open arms, the Chamber wants to welcome new professionals and provide the stability and comradery that they seek. Working in tandem with Bottom Line Marketing (BLM), utilizing surveys from both
members and non-members, the Chamber was able to understand not only who they were as an entity, but what minor changes were needed. One of those changes was becoming the “only Accredited U.S. Chamber in San Diego County.” With accreditation, chamber members can rest assured that their membership fees are going towards providing assistance for their business, connecting with partners, and being a valid voice in a “fastgrowing business community.”

The North San Diego Business Chamber may have changed in name and face, but it’s size and spirit is promised to be just as unique as before. “As a team, we’re compassionate and approachable to all our members… Most importantly, we are relevant to our members.” ¢

Caring for Community Readers
ZCODE MAGAZINES HONORED AS SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
A
ssemblymember Brian Maienschein recently honored us here at ZCode Magazines as the 77th Assembly District’s 2014 Small Business of the Year in recognition of our ongoing commitment to the readers of our community. “ZCode Magazines has found an innovative way to bring people in our community together by showcasing local businesses, events, and residents,” Maienschein said. “I’m proud to recognize ZCode for creating a fun, community-based publication that San Diegans enjoy reading, while helping local small businesses promote themselves.” Launched in 2009, we started with one publication, 92127 Magazine, a reference to the zip code where the magazine was distributed. Since then we have grown to become the publisher of eleven zip code-specific magazines, reaching 185,000 San Diegans. Each magazine highlights unique local businesses, families, students, sports, and community events. ZCode Magazines also provides advice to local businesses on community outreach using social media, email, and custom publishing.
“On behalf of all of us at ZCode Magazines, we are honored to be selected by Assemblymember Maienschein to receive the Small Business of the Year Award,” said Derrick Breaux, Publisher and CEO of ZCode Magazines. “We work hard to serve our readers and the community that we love, and we wouldn’t be successful without them.” A family business, Breaux’s brother, Tyler McElhaney, serves as creative director and COO for our publishing company, located in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego. “Maintaining a balance of high quality design and production along with hyper-local stories and features is our biggest goal. Employing local writers, photographers, designers and sales staff reinforces our commitment to the communities of San Diego,” explained McElhaney. Each year, the California Small Business Association asks legislators to nominate a Small Business of the Year from their district that has demonstrated exemplary business ethics and community service. We were presented with a framed certificate from the State Assembly recognizing our outstanding contributions. ¢

H
alstrom Academy was started in 1985 by Karen Bishop, an educator who wanted to create a more personalized and flexible approach to learning for students who have unique circumstances, such as actors, athletes, students with ADD, ADHD or social anxiety and students who wish to learn at their own pace and accelerate their learning. Flexible scheduling options and the 1:1 student teacher ratio differentiate Halstrom from the traditional school model. Students who attend Halstrom Academy are given the opportunity to become self-directed learners, creative problem solvers, effective communicators and active participants in their communities while they prepare for successful college and working careers. According to Halstrom Academy San Diego, they offer robust college preparatory and Advanced Placement programs, as well as 1:1 SAT preparation, college counseling and tutoring. As stated by Halstrom educators, the school provides a small, caring environment that fosters strong three-way communication between parents, students and teachers. This communication allows students to flourish in an educational model that is tailored specifically to their individual needs and learning styles. Technology is a large part of Halstrom’s commitment to enhancing student and teacher communication. Both students and teachers use iPads that are loaded with eTextbooks and other educational applications. According to Halstrom Academy, technology can help teachers provide students with real life examples to make material more relevant. For example, it is not unusual for literature teachers to use visual arts, movies and/or music to complement the core curriculum. The student population at Halstrom San Diego is comprised of young entrepreneurs, community volunteers, strong leaders and professional athletes. Jacob Szekely is an excellent example of a student athlete who directly benefits from the flexibility offered by Halstrom Academy. “What I really like about Halstrom is the 1:1 teaching and how they are able to cater to my needs as a professional athlete,” said Jacob, 2013 National Scholastic Surfing Association West Coast Men’s Champion. According to Jacob, attending Halstrom has allowed him to receive a top-notch education, as well as to focus on his professional surfing career.

The Poway Historical and Memorial Society Celebrates 50 Years photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
O
fficially formed in 1964, the Poway Historical and Memorial Society (PHMS) has been dedicated to preserving the artifacts and collections of Poway’s history for fifty years. And like any
milestone birthday, the society is planning a big party to celebrate the occasion. We all know and love Old Poway Park, and it’s the PHMS that helps visitors and residents travel back in time through the Heritage Museum and the iconic Nelson House. Read along as we talk with PHMS President Jeff Frye and Vice President Mary Shepardson about the origin of the organization, 92064’s history and what to expect for the next fifty years.

Q&A with PHMS President Jeff Frye and Vice President Mary Shepardson
HOW WAS THE POWAY HISTORICAL & MEMORIAL SOCIETY (PHMS) FORMED?
Mary Shepardson: Poway of the early 1950s was not that much different from how the town had been at the turn of the century. A small, closeknit group of farming families grew and sold a wide variety of crops — depending on annual rainfall for their success. When water was scarce, times were hard. In the middle years of the twentieth century water was very scarce. Farmers and even homeowners struggled to get water for their needs. The arrival of a municipal water supply in 1954 changed everything. Yes, there was water to irrigate farmland, but there was rapid growth, changing the character of the town from rural to suburban. In 1962, a group of self-styled “Old Timers,” residents who had come to Poway in 1953 and before, began having annual picnics to get together and share recollections. They wanted to preserve the memories of Poway as they had known it. From these picnics, came the germ of the Poway Historical and Memorial Society. The society formed officially in 1964. That summer, Ray Stock organized the first meeting at the annual Old Timers’ picnic at Felicita Park in Escondido. Stock was elected president that September. The Constitution and by-laws were adopted the following November. Charter membership numbered fifty-three, of whom five are still living.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITH THE PHMS?
Mary: My family moved to Poway in 1949, when I was 3. My parents were very involved in civic life and I developed an early interest in Poway’s history, becoming one of the charter members of PHMS and writing articles about Poway for the local paper when I was still in school. Recently retired, I’ve become very involved in working with digitizing the society’s archives and photo files and have now joined the board as vice president.
WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DOES THE SOCIETY PROVIDE TO POWAY RESIDENTS? Jeff Frye: The museum is open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors include local residents, former residents and visitors to the area. We provide the textures and the sights of Old Poway for younger generations to appreciate and a look at vintage Poway and for older generations to recall and reflect upon. History is a good foundation for processing current events.
WHAT TYPE OF EXHIBITS DOES THE MUSEUM HAVE?
Jeff: The museum has an extensive collection of photographs dating back to the founding of Poway in the late 1800s, including many of Poway’s bountiful agricultural heritage and of early settlers, homes and schools. Artifacts range from the grinding stones of the Native Americans who lived here for hundreds of years before European settlers arrived, to period agricultural implements, housewares and clothing. In addition to the standing collection, specialized displays from our archives or outside collectors and sources are set up six or more times a year. Popular exhibits include the re-creation of a one-room school circa 1895 and a combination post office/general store representative of offerings in the early 1900s. The youngest visitors particularly enjoy our working model train set and a player piano.
WHAT IS THE MUSEUM’S MOST PRIZED OR IMPORTANT POSSESSION/ARTIFACT?
Jeff: Photographs and writings from Poway’s pioneer family are probably our most valued assets.

“History is a good foundation for
processing
current events.” - Jeff Frye
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE NELSON HOUSE AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO POWAY’S HISTORY?
Jeff: The Nelson house was built early in the twentieth century by Niles Nelson, the head of one of Poway’s pioneer families, on property he homesteaded south of what is now Garden Road. It is a good example of the farmhouses of the era. When the property on which it sat was developed in 1990, the City of Poway was able to acquire the house and move it to its current location in Old Poway Park. In the park, it provides the ideal setting for displays of photographs and artifacts of Poway’s past and of the historical era. It is open to the public the same hours of the museum and is also popular for tours and photo shoots.
HOW HAS THE PHMS MODERNIZED IN RECENT YEARS?
Mary: One of the earliest goals of PHMS, dating back to before the group was officially organized, was to establish a museum to store and display the artifacts they were collecting. After many false starts, they finally reached an agreement with the City of Poway in 1992 to make use of a 2,300-squarefoot space in Old Poway Park, adjacent to the Hamburger Factory. The displays and collections are constantly being upgraded. We are now moving to digitize more of our files, allowing both museum guests and visitors on the internet to enjoy written records, audio and video files about Poway’s past. Our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ powayhistoricalandmemorialsociety) is especially popular with current and former residents of Poway.
WHAT KIND OF UPKEEP TAKES PLACE FOR THE ARTIFACTS AND HISTORICAL RECORDS? Mary: We’ve recently completed the archiving of documents from the
collection for permanent storage in a climate-controlled environment being provided by the City of Poway. The objects put in storage have also been scanned to create a digital archive. Physical items in the museum are inventoried regularly and maintained with great care. Members and volunteers have a variety of skills needed to clean, maintain and repair items in our collection.

PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE UPCOMING 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
Jeff: The event is going to be huge. The museum, Nelson house and Templar’s Hall will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be guest speakers, music, entertainment and presentations, a special lunch menu at the Hamburger Factory and fiftieth anniversary exhibits in the museum. A huge rummage sale behind the museum will feature both vintage and modern treasures. Special diversions for children will also be offered. Also being celebrated at the park on the same day are the twentieth anniversary of Poway and Midland Railroad Society’s operation as well as of the Apache Canyon Gang, a Western reenactment group. Train rides and mock holdups will take place during the day. Celebrating their fifteenth anniversary will be the Poway Station Model Railroad Club with an exhibit on the grounds.
The society welcomes photos and artifacts that are relevant to Poway and its history. - Mary Shepardson DOES THE SOCIETY HAVE ANY OTHER UPCOMING OR MAJOR ANNUAL EVENTS?
Jeff: The next big park event PHMS will be involved in is Christmas in the Park, which will be on Dec. 13. The society presents depictions of Christmas celebrations in times gone by. The Old Fashioned Fourth of July celebration is also a big annual event for us.
ARE RESIDENTS ABLE TO SUBMIT PHOTOS OR ARTIFACTS TO THE MUSEUM?
Mary: The society welcomes photos and artifacts that are relevant to Poway and its history.
IF SOMEONE WANTED TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE PHMS, WHAT IS AVAILABLE?
Jeff: Our volunteers are our greatest asset. We always welcome individuals who feel Poway in their hearts. Docents who can be available in the museum and Nelson House to answer questions and point out items of interest are always needed. A number of them enjoy dressing in period costumes. Also, we are always in demand of individuals with skills to help maintain and improve our exhibits. Anyone, including students and writers, who want to research Poway’s past in our archives is encouraged to do so. Of special interest at the moment is locating interns or volunteers with an eye for web development to help us improve our online presence and make the society more approachable and available to the public.

Mary: Long before European settlers arrived, Poway was very popular for hundreds of years with Native Americans, who regularly traveled through the area as they migrated seasonally back and forth from the desert to the sea. Valleys with oak-tree-studded streams provided an ideal environment. Samples of the stone used to grind acorn meal are on display in the museum.

For Those In Need
POWAY’S PROJECT MERCY BUILDS HOMES FOR THE NEEDY photos provided by Project Mercy
W
hat would you do with just over $4,000? Take a vacation or a weekend getaway? Go on a shopping spree? How about building a house for a needy family? Project Mercy, a nonprofit organization based in Poway, annually helps Tijuana residents by improving their living situations with brand new homes and latrines. While this charitable work runs year-round, Project Mercy’s Annual Baja Challenge invites volunteers to build as many homes as possible in one day. Paula Claussen, Founder, President and CEO of Project Mercy, shared that the first Baja Challenge was held back in 2000. In 2013, Project Mercy built fifteen homes in one day for the Baja Challenge, and thirty-nine homes overall in 2013. This year marks the 15th Annual Baja Challenge taking place on Sept. 27, and the Project Mercy team anticipates building an additional fifteen homes in one day. Paula explained, “It is a purely humanitarian effort: we are helping families at the lowest rung of the ladder trying desperately to climb up and give their families a better life.” Each home costs $4,600 to build, with most of Project Mercy’s funding coming from “churches, rotary clubs, privately owned companies and families from both sides of the border.” But Project Mercy’s success has been thanks to the many selfless volunteers, especially those with construction experience. Any folks interested in volunteering for the upcoming Baja Challenge can contact Devin

oway High is excited to start the new school year with a great lineup of fall sports. This season we offer cross country, field hockey, football, boys water polo, girls volleyball, girls tennis, and girls golf. All of our sports compete in the Palomar League. Tryouts begin in early August for all fall season sports. Coach Bruce Jackson returns as head coach for the cross country team, and the girls are the defending Palomar League Champs. Second year Head Coach Scott Bartel will guide the field hockey
team. Football, led by Damian Gonzalez, will renew its long standing Kiwanis Cup rivalry with Mt. Carmel as the Sundevils return to the Palomar league for football.

Breezy Ambort, who led her team to the CIF Finals last year, will once again make another run with girls volleyball. Veteran Head Coach Evi Yarnell-Valles is excited to lead her girls tennis team. Last, but certainly not least, Jim Bennett will coach the girls golf team.
We are excited to have a new artificial turf surface installed as a result of a joint effort by the City of Poway and PUSD. Having a new playing field will allow thousands of high school and youth athletes to compete on a first class surface. At the end of the 2013-2014 school year, PUSD renovated our stadium and installed new aluminum bleachers. All of us Titans appreciate the support and dedication from our district and the City!

CURIOSITY Point Loma's Beautiful Landmarks and Nature by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
e're deep into summer: the sun is bright, the sand is soft, and the ocean is so inviting. For what remains of your summer break, take a day to explore Point Loma, offering historical landmarks, tide pools, awe-inspiring cliffs and hiking trails.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse takes you back in time to when sailing ships relied on these beacons to guide them through safe waters. Built in 1854, its light could be seen for twenty-five miles. However, the builders didn’t take into account the signature low fog that would obscure the light, and so in 1891, the lighthouse was closed and a new Point Loma lighthouse was constructed at a lower elevation. The old lighthouse has now been converted into a museum, where you can explore what life was like there and see the old lamp whose large beam once permeated the peninsula. Below the lighthouses are a series of silent sentinels collectively known as Fort Rosecrans. The Point Loma peninsula shapes a natural barrier at the entrance of San Diego Bay, and in 1899 the United States Department of War built a series of gun batteries into the cliffs as a strategic harbor defense. While you can’t

enter the batteries themselves today, you can walk alongside these massive strongholds. Whale-watching is popular here, but head to the tide pools to see the tinier creatures that make homes on our shores. Sea stars, mussels, crabs, and other gastropods come and go with the tides. While fun to look at, rangers warn not to touch the animals, as many of them are sensitive and can be harmed or killed from being handled by humans. The tide pools are parallel to the Coastal Tidepool Trail, and more hiking can be explored on the two-mile Bayside Trail. For history hounds, the Cabrillo National Monument offers a closer look at the first explorer to land on the United States’ western shores, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With a large statue to commemorate his exploration, the park also features annual reenactments of his landing. ¢

A Fresh Start S
chool is out! The long awaited summer break is upon us, and students are partaking in leisure activities, as well as internships, jobs, and volunteer work. Besides keeping busy however, every student has taken time to simply relax and refuel for the upcoming school year. With this summer coming to a close and the new school year beginning, students are granted a fresh start on Aug. 20, energized and determined to face the upcoming year with immense success. As I begin my senior year, I intend to continue making the most of my four
years at Poway while encouraging all students to do the same. Joining clubs and sports teams, attending pep rallies, dances, and other school events are great ways to meet new people and take advantage of the countless memorable experiences Poway High School provides. While moving another grade higher is exciting, it is not uncommon for incoming freshman to feel nervous about entering high school. As someone who is about to venture into their last year of high school, I can confidently reassure all incoming freshman that high school is not as terrifying as it is portrayed
to be. Your teachers are there to help you, the homework load is reasonable, and finding your classes isn’t as difficult as one may imagine. Freshman year is the start of an exciting four year journey of discovering your interests and ambitions. So as this school year approaches, let’s all put our best foot forward and show how extraordinary Poway Titans are! ¢ Megan Ligas is an incoming senior at Poway High School.

or most of us, buying a home will be the biggest financial decision we make in our lifetimes, and often one of the most stressful. Having a trustworthy and experienced realtor certainly helps to alleviate the stress. Enter Meridian Realty – Karen Pado and Associates aim to create the best experience and secure the best value for both buyers and sellers. Started in 2009, Meridian Realty focuses on real estate within the Poway school district boundaries. The local focus ensures agents are market experts for the area. Pado and Associates help buyers and sellers navigate the entire process and utilize up-to-date market statistics with the latest technology to educate their clients. “It is important to have a knowledgeable and experienced agent on your side. There may be challenges to the selling and buying process but an experienced agent knows how to handle any bumps in the road that may come along,” Karen explained.
Setting realistic expectations and knowing the options help mitigate those bumps in the road, but when they do arise, having a trusted real estate agent is key. Karen emphasized the importance of trust in the realtor-client relationship. “Interview a few agents before making a decision and compare their marketing strategies and neighborhood awareness,” Karen suggested. Meridian Realty exemplifies this model as they work to be the best, not be the biggest. “Our mindset is not to be the largest agency in town, but the most professional and trusted agency in town,” Karen shared. Her connection to Poway began in 1996 when Karen and her husband settled in the community with their two sons. As a former educator, the excellent reputation of the school system was crucial to the family’s decision. Karen continues to stay connected outside of real estate through local philanthropy.

JOAN DUNCAN HELPS MEET THE NEEDS OF MANY ACROSS INLAND NORTH COUNTY by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

“
Our members are much more than a group of volunteers. We are friends and family to each other.”
hether volunteering, dog walking, or spending time with her granddaughters, Joan Duncan has not slowed down since retiring as a special education teacher. A 92064 resident since July 2007, Joan is actively involved with the Assistance League of Inland North County, an all volunteer organization serving children and families in need. Joan first learned of the organization while walking her dog with a neighbor who suggested she might be interested. The friendly dog walk turned into a great commitment for Joan, who has served on the Board for four years, first as the vice president of Resource Development and then as the vice president of Philanthropic Programs. Through these different roles, Joan has planned fundraising events, supervised the thrift store, and oversaw the organization’s eleven philanthropic programs. The Assistance League meets a wide range of needs in the local communities. From Baby Real Deal, focused on deterring teen pregnancy, and Operation Duffel Bag, ensured foster youth receive needed items, to scholarships for local graduates and Senior Outreach, provided fans, blankets and Lifeline medallions, Joan ensured the programs stayed within budget while best serving the community. “My wish would be that we would always have the funds needed to support our programs. The programs are too important to our communities to even lose one,” Joan said. Family is a large part of Joan’s community. Jack, her husband of forty-five years, and Joan have two children and two grandchildren, Avery and Kamryn, both who attend Highland Ranch School. Joan’s granddaughters find ways to support the Assistance League, as well. Most recently the girls, aged 9 and 6, attended the group’s fundraiser – a basketball shootout between the Harlem Ambassadors and twenty community leaders. Joan also shared how Kamryn played a role in 2012 while delivering agreements to the local school districts. “Since it was just before Christmas, we pretended we were Santa and Mrs. Claus. She sprinkled pretend Christmas dust as we entered the offices, much to the delight of the various district staff,” Joan explained. When not assisting with programs, Joan loves taking the girls to visit Lake Poway and to ride the train at Old Poway Park. Helping to meet the needs of the North County Inland communities takes the work of many hands. “New members are always welcome. Our members are much more than a group of volunteers. We are friends and family to each other,” Joan shared. ¢

TIPS ON HOW TO USE WATER WISELY THIS SUMMER
by TORI MORRISON
A
ccording to the City of San Diego, June 1 marked a change in the amount of irrigation time San Diegans are allotted in order to accommodate the demanding warmer days of summer. The City has declared, “From June 1 through Oct. 31, when the weather is hotter, the public must water their landscape prior to 10 a.m. in the morning, and not until after 6 p.m. in the evening, to lessen evaporation and get the most out of their water use.” Steps can also be made to conserve water within the household. Here are some tips on how to use water more efficiently at home.
1.
Plug the sink or bath instead of running the water to rinse your razor, or wait for the water to adjust to your desired temperature.
6.
Check your hoses, faucets and appliances regularly for leaks.
2.
Use your dishwasher. Dishwashers save more water and energy than washing dishes by hand. Energy Star dishwashers are more energy efficient than older models, so they end up reducing water waste. If washing dishes by hand, scrap food in the trash before washing, plug the sink, and then wash.
3.
Avoid playing with recreational water toys that require a considerable amount of water. Try water guns or water balloons for some fun in the sun.
4.
Instead of using the hose to clean sidewalks, garages and driveways, grab a broom.
5.
Recycle water. If you drop ice cubes, or need to get rid of water you used to steam vegetables, don’t waste it. You can use the water to feed plants, or turn the excess water into a soup.
56 • 92064Magazine.com • August | September 2014
7.
Place tissues into a trash can instead of flushing them.
8.
Purchase a plastic or aluminum water bottle. It will cut down on the amount of water you waste washing glasses.
9.
Wash your car on your lawn. That way your lawn will get watered at the same time.
10.
Join a community pool instead of wasting water on a personal pool at home. ¢

GolfTEC San Diego Helping Golfers Reach Their Goals by Offering an Organized and Innovative Plan by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Tyler McElhaney
F
or all you golf enthusiasts out there, GolfTEC San Diego may be just the place for you to improve your game. “GolfTEC has a proven track record with a 95% success rate, and nationwide we give 25% of all private lessons taught. No one else can say that!” exclaimed owner of the San Diego franchise, Suzanne LaTour. From custom club fittings, to virtual playing lessons, to a patented technology that compares your swing to those of professional players, GolfTEC offers not only a lesson in golf, but an experience, as well. “GolfTEC itself was started in Denver, in 1995, by co-founders and PGA Professionals Joe Assell and Mike Clinton,” stated LaTour. “Creating a consistent, well-documented golf instruction approach was at the heart of their new-to-the-world business concept. They set out to revolutionize the golf improvement industry and many would agree they’ve done just that.” While Suzanne – who is in her twenty-first year in the financial services industry – was researching various franchises to diversify for future retirement plans, she signed up to take lessons at GolfTEC. “Three lessons into my plan, I overheard that the store was for sale and called Denver to get more information,” she said. “I thought ‘Perfect. I love golf – I should buy this,’ and I ended up buying the entire San Diego Region with a plan to build out four Centers!”
It’s been almost four years, and GolfTEC now has expanded to two San Diego locations – one in Golden Triangle in La Jolla, and the other in Rancho Bernardo. “GolfTECs are fun, welcoming environments,” stated LaTour. “All of our team love what they do – they love to teach and they are passionate about the game of golf!” GolfTEC’s basic philosophy: “to make people better golfers and do it with an organized

and proven game plan,” explained LaTour. The GolfTEC plan is comprised of five main elements: a diagnosis of the player, lessons, video-based practice, an online accessible “player performance center,” and precisionmatched golf clubs. As stated in the company’s website, “Whether you are a complete beginner or an accomplished golfer, GolfTEC’s comprehensive approach to improvement can help you reach your personal goals.” ¢

oing retro seems to be the “it” thing nowadays: taking something old and treating it as trendy and new. With such a rich history in Poway, these folks have long been educating generations on the olden days, and now they want to bring families in on the “oldfashioned” fun too. Old Fashioned Family Days is being brought to Poway for the first time, thanks to the efforts of the Poway Midland Railroad, the Poway Historical and Memorial Society, San Diego Folk Heritage, and the Poway Arts and Crafts Guild. City of Poway Recreation Coordinator Sean Hill shared, “This is a new series of events that Old Poway Park has never implemented before, and not only myself, but my staff are also very excited to implement something new that we have yet to experience.” The first event was Stargazing, S’mores & Campfire Storytelling in the Park this past July, where families watched the night skies, roasted marshmallows and listened to old Western tales. Coming up on Aug. 10 is the Tom Sawyer Read-A-Thon, where attendees can unleash their inner explorer and go on a Tom Sawyer themed scavenger hunt at Old Poway Park. Lastly, the Old Fashioned Family Picnic is on Nov. 16. Families can take photos with one of Poway Midland Railroad’s many trains, play carnival games, play picnic games like a potato sack race and enter a pie-eating contest, and more. Visit www.poway.org for more information on the activities at these events. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Thinking Solar?
You May Get Burned! I
love the idea of solar power for homes, lowering energy costs while improving the environment. Many of my clients have enjoyed the benefits of solar. However, some solar power clients are learning that what they thought would save them thousands is burning a hole in their pocket. Thousands of homeowners have entered into leased contracts for solar, and right now thousands more are thinking about it. Contracts vary by company, but we have seen some of these contracts cost homeowners dearly. Here are a few things to look for in your contract: 1. Does the solar company put a lien on your home? 2. If yes, does it guarantee they will subordinate to a lender in the event you wish to refinance? If they won’t, the vast majority of lenders will not refinance your home. 3. In the event you sell your home, is the lease assumable? Many leases require full payment upon the sale of your home. Imagine listing your home thinking the lease is assumable only to find out your proceeds are going to be reduced by $15,000 to buy out the lease. When thinking about purchasing or leasing a solar power system, do your research, consult with multiple companies, and speak with your
realtor, lender and the utility company to discuss short term and long term ramifications of purchasing or leasing a solar power system. This extra research could save you from getting burned. ¢
