:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Publisher Derrick Breaux Creative Director Tyler McElhaney Editor Sarabeth McElhaney editor@zcodemedia.com

Fall is in the Air

’m typically a summer guy. I like the warm weather. I like spending time out in the boat. There are the beaches, the parks, hiking, kids are out of school – it’s all good. Summer is usually my favorite time of the year. So why have I spent the last several weeks daydreaming about the arrival of fall? Quite frankly, because it’s been HOT! I guess I’m getting old. Or perhaps I’ve simply turned into a Southern California fair-weather person. Anyone that is close to me knows that I love to wear my shorts and T-shirts. In fact, that is my work attire more days than not. But let’s face it – the recent heat has been ridiculous to say the least. The idea of getting back to our 72 degree average daily forecast – along with chilly nights – is quite appealing to me. I can barely wait. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that our kids are now back in school, and our home is getting back into a more realistic schedule with predictable routines. There is a simple feeling of relief that I get knowing that our kids are hard at work in the classroom and not constantly being shuttled around between play dates, camps, and sleepovers. Oh, and the retirement (for the most part) of the repetitive “I’m bored” phrase – gone! Strange how that happens. And did I mention football? Isn’t fall synonymous with football? The temperature cools down for the players on the gridiron – having played many years of football growing up, this must be by Derrick Breaux design. Whether you are a local high school football fan, a college Publisher fan, or a professional football fan, you can’t deny the excitement of the season. We have some great things planned for the magazine over the next few issues. Be on the lookout for some additional departments and special sections within the pages of 92064 – all designed with you in mind. Thanks for your continued support. Don’t be a stranger. We always welcome feedback, photo submissions, article recommendations, and new ideas. It’s a community thing! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

This Rotarian and Retired Attorney Enjoys Serving the Poway Community by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

or Pauline Getz, being a Rotarian and a long-time Poway resident is a source of great pride. “One of my favorite things about Poway is the unquestioning attitude of volunteerism. When anyone needs help, our friends and neighbors show up. That is so heart-warming and gratifying,” stated Pauline, who is currently the Poway Rotary president. She and the rest of the Rotary team are the driving force behind many Poway events and activities, including the Poway Days Parade. According to Pauline, she thoroughly enjoys serving the community through the Poway Rotary and is always happy to be with a diverse and delightful group of neighbors and friends. “My father was a Rotarian for most of his professional life. I love the principles of the

organization, the friendships I’ve formed, and the opportunities for service,” said Pauline. Pauline and her husband have lived in San Diego since 1987, when they moved from Fresno. She is also a retired attorney who opened up her own firm, Getz & Associates, in 1996. “After I graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, I moved to Fresno. I went to work as a law firm receptionist, and after rising through the ranks to paralegal I looked around the legal community and realized that I could become a lawyer. So I went to law school and became an attorney in 1982,” related Pauline. In 2012 she began the process of winding down her practice, and she now devotes a large portion of her time to the Poway Rotary and St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, where she serves as chancellor.

12 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2015

In her spare time, Pauline enjoys golf, reading, cross-stitch, and needlepoint. Although she is extremely active in the community, Pauline also values quiet time at home with her husband and her beloved cat. “I’m actually rather shy and something of an introvert,” revealed Pauline. Now that they are retired, Pauline and her husband would like to do more traveling to visit family members that are scattered throughout the nation. “I am the youngest of five children. My eldest brother lives in Los Angeles, but my other brother lives in Texas and my sisters live in Ohio and Idaho. We also have nieces, nephews, and godchildren who are big parts of our lives,” stated Pauline, who fully intends to continue living life to the fullest, serving others, and spending time with those she loves. 

Tech Trek LOCAL STUDENTS ATTEND STEM CAMP THANKS TO AAUW POWAY-PEÑASQUITOS BRANCH

he Poway-Peñasquitos Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) recently granted scholarships to seven local middle school girls, allowing the students to attend Tech Trek this summer. Tech Trek is a camp specifically designed to help middle school girls develop interest and confidence in math and science, with middle school teachers and female STEM professionals serving as instructors. AAUW California has hosted Tech Trek camps since 1998, with 10 camps held on college campuses across the state every summer. The camp at University of California, San Diego was founded in 1999. Once science teachers provide nominations, the local AAUW branch interviews the students and offers scholarships to those selected. This year the Poway-Peñasquitos Branch awarded scholarships to Paige Nguyen and Uma Sinha from Black Mountain Middle School; Isabel Saavedra, Itzel Bustamante, and Julianna Martinez from Meadowbrook Middle School; and Harmony Teudt and Morgan Shea from Mesa Verde Middle School. They spent a week on the UCSD campus learning about everything from robotics and coding to chemistry and marine biology. Campers were enrolled in one core class for the week so they could immerse themselves in a favorite subject along with other supplemental activities. Students learned from guest speakers and took field trips to local STEM organiations. The AAUW is a national nonprofit promoting equality and education for women and girls. The Poway-Peñasquitos Branch is always open to new members – learn more at powayarea-ca.aauw.net or by emailing aauwboard@gmail.com. ¢

FROM THEIR T-BALL DAYS TO UMPIRING, BRETT AND MATTHEW MARTIN ARE MAKING AN IMPACT WITH POWAY AMERICAN LITTLE LEAGUE by LYDIA COBB photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

oway natives and brothers Brett and Matthew Martin have a lot in common. They enjoy fishing, golfing, and hanging out with friends. And it’s on the baseball field where they’re making their marks. They started playing T-Ball with Poway American Little League (PALL) – continuing on to play baseball – and to umpiring as they entered their teens. The Martin brothers are aware of the challenges and rewards of umpiring. “Sometimes it is a call that you make that not everyone will agree with,” shared Brett. “The important thing is that you have to know the rules and just do the best that you can with what you know. It is also rewarding when the coaches and parents tell you that you had a great game and did a great job. It is also fun to be involved with the sport that I have loved since I was little.” Matthew, a freshman at Poway High, was on

He also umpires for travel baseball teams along with Brett. “Most people are surprised about my age because I look younger than I am,” revealed Matthew, a recipient of the Cameron McAfee sportsmanship award by PALL for three seasons. Brett, a senior at Poway High, also received the McAfee PALL award and is honored with the John W. Coffey District 31 Little League Umpire scholarship. Brett is also in Pacific Umpires, a high school organization. He added, “I enjoy studying the rules with my father, who is also an umpire for Pacific Umpires.” In school, Brett’s into computer information systems. “It is very applicable in all situations,” he added. As Brett leads off on his senior year, he also works part-time at Domino’s Pizza. He plans to attend community college and transfer to a professional umpiring school. Matthew’s favorite subject is history, “Because it is really interesting learning about early American history and culture.” He added, “I love the school spirit of the Titans.” With graduation a few years away, Matthew shares that he would like to pursue a business degree. Back on their field of dreams, their favorite part of PALL is that everyone is supportive. As they begin and end their high school years, both brothers have their eyes on the game. It’s Fall Ball season! 

“It is fun to be involved with the sport that I have loved since I was little.”

The Taylors Like to Laugh and Enjoy Each Other’s Company by LINDA FRABL | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

cott and Georgine Taylor first met each other when both worked at a San Diegobased mortgage servicing company. Now they are married with three children (Heather, 27, Nicholas, 13, and Madison, 12), and have been happily ensconced in the Rancho Arbolitos area since 2005. Georgine exclaimed, “We love the neighborhood as it is close to stores, parks, and schools. The best part, however, is the lifelong friendships we have made with our neighbors throughout the community.”

There have been ample opportunities for the Taylors to expand their friendships in Poway, thanks in part to Scott coaching recreational soccer and basketball teams, in addition to serving on many PTA school board positions. As a stay-at-home dad who is also a substitute teacher for the Poway Unified School District, Scott is grateful that he can be available when his children need him. The youngest Taylor child, Madison, has needed some extra help lately, as she was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her hip area a year and a half ago. Scott said, “She is fighting this cancer with the same spirit she has used to tackle everything in her life: with laughter and smiles. She is a blessing to us all.” The Taylor children all keep busy while tackling their own various activities. Heather is working towards a nursing school degree, in addition to working full time as an office manager. Nicholas loves soccer and basketball, as well as jumping on the trampoline and playing Xbox. Madison was competing as a Level 3 gymnast shortly before her cancer diagnosis, and, according to Scott, “She is always smiling, making funny faces, and keeping her friends and family laughing.” Georgine, who is the Senior Director of Client Services at CoreLogic, and who last year was the president of the San Diegobased Women’s Business Council, concurred that her family “is just an ordinary working class family, but we sure like to laugh!” The Taylors especially relish having outdoor adventures together, such as camping at the beach and the mountains, hiking, bicycling, and simply hanging out in their backyard pool. Scott professed, “Having barbecues with our family and friends is a big part of our life. We all really enjoy each other’s company!” 

BENEFITING POWAY Blair Evens Donates His Time Towards Great Local Causes by LINDA FRABL | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

pon his retirement from the Air Force after 20 years of service, Blair Evens accepted a position as programs manager for Poway-based aerospace/defense manufacturer Rockwell Collins. Now, five years later, Blair, along with his wife and four children, is happily settled into his lovely Poway surroundings. Considering that his family used to have to move every three years due to his military schedule, Blair revealed, “This is the longest we've lived in one place, and we are proud to call Poway home.” Blair is also proud that he can donate his time towards great local causes. His employer sponsors a FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego team, consisting of students from both Westwood Elementary and Chaparral Elementary, and Blair willingly volunteers as the team’s assistant coach. He said, “When I am teaching the team members how to develop both the code and the logic to have their robot perform difficult tasks, and then they tell me they got it and then they start coding themselves, it is my biggest accomplishment as a volunteer.” Blair’s employer also co-sponsors the Poway Jack-O-Smash Race and Family Fun festival, which benefits those with special needs. Just as he did last year, Blair is once again helping to develop a huge Pumpkin Plinko Board in which actual pumpkins are sent down a peg board ramp to drop into specific slots for prizes. Commenting on the ultimate reward from his voluntary labor, Blair exclaimed, “When a co-worker from my own facility brings me his special needs son who says, ‘Thank you!’ and gives me a hug, that is the beauty of humanity...knowing we are here for each other. My success is measured in the number of smiles from those who benefit from my commitment.” Describing his favorite aspects of Poway, Blair stated, “I love its small-town feeling and that the community is truly family-driven. Also, I grew up in the outdoors and Poway emphasizes outdoor activity.” Blair especially enjoys Old Poway Park, and admitted, “It brings back fond memories of my own childhood at the city park. The only difference is I did not have that cool train going around the park!” 

Staying Healthy This Fall by PAUL BRYDON, D.O.; Scripps Clinic, Rancho Bernardo

Don’t put your well-being on the back burner as the days get shorter and the temperature cooler. Stay motivated and heathy this autumn by making the most of the season. Keep your mind sharp and maintain your mental health. Learning new skills can positively affect well-being, so sign up for that course you’ve been meaning to take, try new recipes, learn a language, or even rediscover an old hobby that is challenging and enjoyable, such as building model airplanes or sketching. Avoid unconscious eating. Watching football and the new TV fall lineup can distract you from how much you’re eating. Pre-measure exactly what you want to eat in the kitchen before settling on the couch – and enjoy the bounty of fall. Apples, pears, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and pumpkin are low in calories and loaded with nutrients. Get your flu shot. Flu season can start as early as October, so protect yourself and your family by getting vaccinated. In addition, cough or sneeze into your elbow to cover your mouth and nose, and

stay home if you are sick. Check with your doctor’s office for a flu clinic near you. Tailgate Lite. Football season can add pounds fast. Switch out those burgers and chicken wings for grilled kabobs with veggies, fruits and lean meat. Try seafood, salsa, wraps, and stews as well, and avoid overindulging in alcohol. Enjoy your favorite brew, but trade it in for less caloric beverages as the game continues. Keep moving. With fewer outdoor options for physical activities in the evening, make adjustments to ensure you keep moving. Join a gym or a fall sports league, plan evening walks at the mall or become an early riser. Take advantage of fun outdoor activities while the sun is out. Try apple picking, chasing your kids around the corn maze, or cleaning up the yard. Wash your hands. Make sure your family knows the importance of washing their hands. It’s one of the best things we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading germs to others. Take charge of your medical health. Fall is a good time to get a handle on your personal health care. Keep track of any medical issues, and if you want to change your doctor now is the time. Schedule your annual physical if needed – and wellness visits for your family. ¢

Paul Brydon, D.O., is a family medicine and sports medicine physician at Scripps Clinic in Rancho Bernardo. Dr. Brydon practices the full scope of family medicine, with special expertise in sports medicine, musculoskeletal medicine, and preventive care. He provides a supportive environment and treats the whole person.

Local Soccer Fundraiser

Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway

Gregg and Michelle Fracassa of Which Wich recently hosted a weeklong fundraising event for the Poway Youth Soccer League (PYSL), donating 30 percent of all sales during the week to the club. At the end of the event, the players, families, and friends had raised $1,025. The boys and girls teams that generated the most sales earned an ice cream shake party. Coach Steve Johnson accepted the check on behalf of the league; he coaches two competitive teams for PYSL’s Poway Vaqueros Academy, as well as serving as the boys’ Junior Varsity coach at Poway High School. Poway Youth Soccer League is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the goal of giving the best possible experience to boys and girls of all levels so they can develop a lifelong love of soccer. Over 1,000 players from throughout the community are involved in the recreational and competitive teams. Learn more at www.powayyouthsoccer.com.

Tackling Domestic Violence

Local Scouts at Camp Meriwether

A portion of Interstate 15 is on its way to becoming the Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway, thanks to a bill spearheaded by Assemblymember Brian Maienschein. Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 63 passes the State Assembly on a unanimous vote and now awaits debate in the State Senate. “For many San Diegans like me, Tony Gwynn is the epitome of San Diego Padres Baseball,” said Maienschein. “I am honored to present this bill as we commemorate the one year anniversary of Tony Gwynn’s passing.” Gwynn was a longtime resident of Poway, and the ACR proposes to name the stretch of the I-15 from Pomerado Rd./West Bernardo Dr. to Scripps Poway Pkwy./Mercy Rd. after him. “Naming this well-traveled stretch of road in his memory will forever preserve his memory in San Diego and honor his commitment to our community,” said Maienschein. In addition to being honored in the Padres Hall of Fame and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Gwynn and his wife established the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation to support children in need.

After a year of partnership, San Diego Charger Eric Weddle and Evolution Lighthouse co-founders Patrick Pickford and Gerly Noland are proud of the impact their collaboration has had on the lives of people affected by domestic violence. They’re also excited to unveil their new 2015 line of Chargers-themed jewelry for fans, with every purchase helping Alliance for Hope support victims and their children. The theme for the line is #WearTheSpotlight. “We love the difference we can make in the lives of children and adults,” said Eric. “Seeing their smiles and breaking them out of a horrible situation is what it’s all about. Everyone deserves a life without domestic violence.” Patrick added, “Eric has been my friend for a number of years, and when domestic violence took over the NFL headlines last year, we immediately started talking about what should be done and what could be done.” Learn more and see the collection at www.evolutionlighthouse.com.

TPMS Garage Sale

Twenty-six local boys from Boy Scout Troop 682 recently spent a week on the Oregon coast at Meriwether Scout Reservation. The camp was founded in 1926 and named for Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition. “At camp the boys learned to work together and to take care of themselves away from modern distractions,” explained Scoutmaster Craig Dickson. The scouts attended Merit Badge classes every morning, exploring everything from cooking and first aid to oceanography and lifesaving. Other fun activities included sandboarding, a scavenger hunt, a sand castle competition, service projects, camping on the beach, and a Scoutmaster belly-ﬂop contest – along with the traditional campfires with songs, skits, and stories. Troop 682 was established in 1994 and includes students from Poway High School, Twin Peaks Middle School, Meadowbrook Middle School, St. Michael’s School, and a number of schools neighboring 92064. Learn more about Troop 682 at www.troop682.com.

The 5th Annual Twin Peaks Middle School Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 24 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Twin Peaks Multi-Purpose Room. A dedicated team of volunteers are already hard at work pulling together the popular event. Twin Peaks families and community members send in their gently used items and the Twin Peaks Foundation sells them to provide funding for new technology for the school. Last year’s event brought in over $7,000 for the school, and the event has become so successful that the Foundation fills the entire multi-purpose room with items for sale. Community members have been known to wait in line to be the first ones at the sale. The Foundation used last year’s funds to purchase Chromebooks, software, printer ink, specialized items, and more. Community donations are welcome – drop off unwanted items on Fridays through Oct. 23 at Twin Peaks Middle School. For more information contact Foundation President Joy Ulrich at 760-505-0318.

VALUES OF

CATHEDRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL CONTINUES A STRONG LEGACY OF FAITH, CHARACTER, AND ACHIEVEMENT by LAINEY KRAL | photos provided by Cathedral Catholic High School

athedral Catholic High School’s (CCHS) core values of faith, knowledge, character, and responsibility have guided the development of high-achieving, well-rounded leaders for over 50 years. The CCHS legacy has deep roots, though the name is only 10 years old. Cathedral Girls High School merged with University San Diego High School (UNI) in 1970 on UNI’s Linda Vista Campus. UNI transitioned to the current CCHS Campus in Carmel Valley in 2005 and took on the new name of Cathedral Catholic High School. “No

matter what campus you were on, once you become a Don, you’re always a Don,” said CCHS President Mr. Stevan Laaperi. “The Dons’ legacy has never been stronger. Over 80 alumni are among the CCHS team of administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff.” The professional staff is well qualified to uphold that legacy. Most teachers have a master’s degree or higher in the subject they teach, and the entire staff strives to model the values of a Catholic faith community. The school is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and holds membership with

the College Board. “In partnership with parents, we form an educational ministry that is mutually supportive and a community committed to excellence,” said Principal Mr. Kevin Calkins. “It is our intent that our graduates carry a spirit of intellectual curiosity and a love of learning on their continuing journey of personal and spiritual growth.” Over 1,600 students are currently beginning that journey on the dynamic CCHS campus. Facilities include 75 classrooms, 12 science labs, two computer labs, a robotics lab, a ceramics studio, a music room, a lecture hall, several special-use classrooms, world-class athletic facilities, a SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

library, a lecture hall, a chapel and meditation garden – there’s a place for every student to discover their passion. Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams. “Whether you are an athlete, love to act, or have a passion for serving others, at Cathedral Catholic you gain the confidence to make a difference not only in your life but in the world around you,” said Kate, a student in the Class of 2017. Nicole, a recent graduate, agreed: “There is an unparalleled wealth of opportunities, and a strong support system in the students and faculty as part of the Catholic community.” The broader community is invited to cheer on the Dons at their homecoming football game on Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m., or discover more at the CCHS Open House on Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Later that night, enjoy a rousing Cathedral Cabaret performance at 7 p.m. The CCHS drama department will present Midsummer/Jersey Nov. 13 through 15. ¢

:::: COVER FEATURE sixth grade orientation, presenting to fifth grade students in the spring, and giving tours to new students throughout the school year. We also have specialty programs that provide students with the option of exploring their interests and passions. We have an advanced course selection aligned with the principle of honors classes at the high school level. At each grade, core classes are student and parentselected at an advanced level. Meadowbrook also offers intervention support classes in reading and math to assist students who enter middle school below grade level in these areas.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role at MBMS? I take pride in interacting and getting to know our students and families. The vast diversity of our students and staff makes our school a special place to learn. Knowing that our staff is creative and centered on students’ best interests is always rewarding.

Have there been any changes made to MBMS in the last few years? Several years ago we implemented a Community of Kindness on our campus. By focusing on kindness, students learn and experience what it means to be kind and caring towards each other. Four years ago we created The Academy, offering more learning opportunities for our students. We have a beautiful campus and our students and staff take great pride in keeping our campus a clean and safe learning environment.

What are some highlights of students’ time at this school? In sixth grade many students mentioned Sixth Grade Camp and Sixth Grade Olympics. In seventh grade the students have fond memories of the pool day at the end of the school year. Eighth grade students talked about having the choice of three advanced-level classes, the East Coast trip to Washington, D.C. and New York, and looking forward to the eighth grade party at the end of the school year. A highlight at the end of the year is when the yearbook comes out. Students gather around to relive memories and sign each other’s award-winning yearbook. Some of the practical, everyday things students love are being with their friends, the teachers, and the variety on the lunch menu.

What activities have you been involved with at MBMS? Kaitlyn Chan: As a sixth grader, I participated in the Science Olympiad. While I had to learn a lot of information in a short amount of time, I also got to make some new friends with similar interests in science. The competition against middle schools around San Diego County was a wonderful experience, and I plan on participating again this year. Grace Dabasinskas: I have been involved in School Site Council and ASB at Meadowbrook. I enjoy being in School Site Council because it gives me

a deeper look at the mindset of what the administration is thinking and I like to have input in the learning structure and activities at school. I love being in ASB because I get to participate in student-involving activities and I get to be a leader and role model to others by just being myself!

During this time, I also made many new friends and my confidence in myself grew. I’m looking forward to my year in ASB and my role as a leader. My experiences have allowed me to grow as a person and explore interests outside of my regular schoolwork. I’m grateful to be part of this wonderful school.

Can you describe a favorite experience or memory from your time at MBMS?

Grace: My favorite experience was my first day of sixth grade. Walking into the school was the start of my amazing journey called middle school! Dr. Carrillo is the best principal ever because he listens, respects, and care for his students. He has made my experience in middle school easy and enjoyable!

Kaitlyn: One of my best experiences at MBMS was running for ASB treasurer. The campaign was a great experience for me, and I had a wonderful time making the posters and handing out campaign buttons.

They also talked about the recognition of our Community of Kindness every Wednesday where staff and students wear the shirts reminding us of the community here that unites us. They love their teachers, having electives with friends, being with friends, having lunch everyday with their friends – friends are a definite highlight!

Does MBMS have any traditions or activities that students look forward to throughout the year? PINK day in October for Breast Cancer awareness – students have raised thousands of dollars since its inception. MORP is a fun spirit day and dance. Students dress in wacky, mismatched outfits and bright colors. We have professional “funky hairstylists” come in and we hold a fashion show at lunch. Our festival of the arts highlights fantastic student work in many art forms. Parents and students alike spend the night admiring

Q&A

When was TPMS founded? The oldest middle school in Poway, Twin Peaks was founded in 1971.

WITH

TP M S STU DE NTS

What activities have you been involved with at TPMS? Chelsea Lomica: WEB has been fun, helping the brand new sixth graders come in and get comfortable with Twin Peaks. I’m also in CJSF. It is fun to be with my friends and because CJSF is big on community service, I enjoy finding different activities out in the community that help to make the city of Poway an even better place to live. I just joined Fellowship of Christian Athletes this year, but I like being able to meet with other Christians and share our faith with each other and pray together. And Switch was a good time for the girls of TPMS to come together and be encouraged by older girls

to just be ourselves and not let outside influences decide how we feel about ourselves.

what the outcome was, we were proud of our efforts. This is an experience I will never forget!

Russell Bennett Hays III: I’ve been involved in ASB since sixth grade and really enjoy all the new and cool experiences and making new friends, as well as life skills.

Russell: So far I’ve really enjoyed my class Exploring Spanish, taught by Señora Fenwick during seventh grade and Exploratory taught by Mr. Blankman during my sixth grade year. I think a teacher who really made a difference is my ASB/ RAM teacher, Mrs. Barlow. She’s helped not just me but all of my classmates learn valuable lessons while still making them fun and game-like. Probably my favorite moment here at TPMS, or should I say with my class, was when I went to Disneyland during a pre-paid two day trip to both parks and missing a day of school in the process, all with ASB.

Can you describe a favorite experience or memory from your time at TPMS? Chelsea: I think my favorite experience at Twin Peaks has to be Sixth Grade Olympics! I loved being out on the field for two days competing with and against my classmates. From running the 100-meter dash to tug of war, all of it was so much fun! We all cheered each other on and no matter

How has TPMS changed in recent years? As part of the district’s Rethinking Technology program, we received nearly $275,000 in desktop computers, laptops, mobile labs, and laser projectors this summer. Four years ago we did not have a single mobile computer lab. Today we have nine with more on the way. We have a 2:1 student to computer/device ratio. This has significantly changed the teaching and learning environment. Students have increased opportunities to personalize their learning and be more creative. They also have access to real-time information from around the globe and I believe that exposure to diverse perspectives is enabling them to think outside of themselves.

Please tell us more about TPMS PTSA and the Twin Peaks Foundation. Much of the technology I referenced earlier was provided by our Foundation. Over the years it has provided us with computers, LCD projectors, document cameras, and thousands of dollars in professional development funding that has enabled teachers to attend conferences on the latest instructional strategies or simply to get together to plan next best steps for improving student learning. The PTSA has provided equally valuable support focused on student programs

love him and they learn so much from him.” The most challenging aspect of the job is ensuring we are working to achieve our goals each day. We have a mission and a vision: to be a community working together to build success and inspire every child, every day. We develop an annual plan that includes goals that we as a staff have agreed should be the priority. Then another initiative comes along which is undoubtedly good for kids, but the challenge is trying to find ways to integrate it into the existing plan seamlessly so we can maintain our overall instructional focus. and activities. The PTSA underwrites our Character Counts program, coordinates our annual Academic Awards program, and serves as the volunteer base for Sixth Grade Olympics. They also support programs like PLUS and Chain Reaction.

How does TPMS prepare students for their future academically? At Twin Peaks we work very hard to ensure that students receive a variety of rigorous learning experiences that will help them to develop the skills sets they will need for success in high school, college, and career. Students are still exposed to the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but now we work hard to ensure we are embedding 21st century skills into our curriculum. These skills, which reflect the current needs of the workplace, include communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role at TPMS? The most challenging? As a principal, I have access to something very few people get to witness: the beauty of what unfolds within the classroom. At our recent Back to School Night a parent paused to share how pleased she was that her son had a specific teacher this year. She was impressed with his presentation at the event. I chuckled and replied, “If you think he was good tonight [in front of adults], you should see him in class with his students. The kids

What is the relationship between teachers and students like at TPMS? At Twin Peaks we understand that even the best lesson plan will not be successful in the absence of strong relationships. Students have to believe that you care about them if they are going to be willing to work hard for you. If they perceive that a teacher does not like them or has treated them unjustly, they may show up to class but they will not put forth their best effort. This is particularly true during adolescence.

What are some highlights of students’ time at this school? Students always say they enjoy Sixth Grade Olympics and Sixth Grade Camp. They look back on these events with nostalgia and even serve as leaders for these programs when they are upper classmen. But more than

anything else, it’s the friendships they develop with their classmates during a challenging time in their development that I think they find most memorable.

What clubs or afterschool activities are offered? Two programs that have emerged over the last couple of years include our Coding Club and our STEM Ram class. For the last two years the STEM Ram has been open to eighth grade students, but this year sixth through eighth grade students will be invited to participate. This group meets for 40 minutes daily to work on studentdriven projects aligned to STEM fields. We offer a wide variety of after-school activities, mostly through our ASES program. Sports include cross country and wrestling. Other activities include The Amazing Race, the Duct Tape Fashion Show, cooking class, and robotics.

How can community members become more involved with the school? Plenty of volunteer opportunities exist – working in the library, supervising students on campus at lunch, and tutoring students during Ram are just a few. For more information, I encourage people to email me at kburke@powayusd.com.

What is your favorite activity to partake in with students? Most of the time I just like getting to know the kids a little better. I appreciate the opportunity to build one-to-one relationships with them. This happens in a variety of ways; maybe I help with a schedule change, or maybe I compliment a boy for holding the door as I walk through. What I appreciate the most is when a student I have connected with makes an effort to come up to me in the quad at lunch just to check in or say hi. ¢

FALL

ON THE FARM

San Diego Pumpkin Patches Promise Plenty of Fun This Season by LAINEY KRAL

s the days get a little bit shorter and nights get a little bit colder – as cold as they ever get in San Diego – it’s time to enjoy the opportunities of autumn. Perhaps nothing symbolizes fall festivities as much as the pumpkin. Whether carved and lit as a jack-o-lantern, baked into a pie, or simply displayed for the holidays, this round orange squash is a critical component of the season. Throughout the month of October, local farms will open up their gates to welcome families eager to pick out their own. San Diego offers a wide variety of pumpkin patches, with something to suit any family’s idea of a perfect autumn day. There are corn mazes, bounce houses, hayrides, train rides, and tasty fall treats. Most are open to the public from late September through Oct. 31 – check out the farms’ websites for detailed hours and available activities. Those who are interested in a simpler, purely pumpkin-oriented experience might want to visit Lavender Hill Pumpkins in Fallbrook. Lavender Hill offers 35 different varieties of pumpkins, squash, and other gourds to pick straight from the vine, ranging

in size from the miniature Munchkin to the North Atlantic Giant. You can find organic pumpkins at Suzie’s Farm, where visitors can take a guided tour of the whole farm in addition to picking their own pumpkins. Farm Stand West has a produce stand with delicious seasonal offerings. If kids or parents want to get to know some four-legged farm folk, a number of pumpkin patches also have petting corrals. Try Bates Nut Farm, Mountain Valley Ranch, or Oma’s Pumpkin Patch for an up-close experience. Pumpkin Station Farms in Bonita and Rancho Bernardo let visitors learn about the farm animals, and kids can saddle up for a pony ride at Bates Nut Farm and Peltzer Farms. The latter also has pig races to cheer on. ¢

Good Thinking

POWAY AUTHOR RELEASES SIXTH BOOK ON OCT. 6

92064

resident Guy P. Harrison is a science writer, blogger for Psychology Today, and author of six books promoting science and reason. He’s looking forward to the release of his latest book on Oct. 6. Good Thinking: What You Need to Know to be Smarter, Safer, Wealthier, and Wiser has received excellent reviews from early readers, including a review in Publishers Weekly that read, “Harrison proves himself an excellent guide to reasonable thought in the ‘swirling, festering ball of lies and madness’ that is the modern world.” The book focuses on how the human brain works, how to keep your brain sharp and healthy throughout your life, and tips for better decision-making every day. Guy delves into research on the cognitive biases, embellished memories, and dubious but appealing stories that can deceive even the most intelligent people. “For all our vaunted intelligence, we human beings believe some really bizarre things,”

said Ian Tattersall, Curator Emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History. “Guy P. Harrison takes us on a judicious, wide-ranging, and entertaining tour of the many dimensions of human mental weirdness, pointing out where we need to be particularly on guard against our poor decision-making processes.” Guy moved to Poway from the Cayman Islands with his family in 2010, and they’re already fitting in well. “My daughter attends Poway High School – the only freshman to make the varsity volleyball team this season!” he shared proudly. In his spare time, he enjoys running, hiking, reading, working out, and watching Star Trek with his children. Learn more about Guy and his work at www.guypharrison.com. ¢

The Future Farmers of Poway

lmost every resident of Poway recognizes the slogan, “The City in the Country,” but not everyone is familiar with the “country” side of Poway. However, the students involved in FFA (Future Farmers of America) at Poway High School have an idea. Mary Martineau has been overseeing the agricultural program for over seven years now. In this club, Martineau not only helps students raise farm animals such as pigs and lambs but she assists them in improving their public speaking, animal judging, and interviewing skills. “Students never cease to amaze

me with what they’re capable of. That’s probably the coolest thing, watching the kids grow. They start off as freshmen, really shy and quiet, and then they turn into these juniors and seniors that go out and tackle the world and do so much,” the FFA Advisor said. Apparently, the students admire her just as much. “I love my advisor, she’s my favorite teacher at school,” said senior Katie Mandrusiak. She is currently the president of FFA. She heard about this program through her older brother; she saw how much he enjoyed it and wanted to try it out herself. She was more than impressed.

“My favorite part about it is the friends that I have met and being with the animals,” senior Alex Osmun said. He holds the position of historian of FFA. “I really like the people. They are a second family to me,” concluded junior Cheyenna See. To learn more about Poway's FFA family visit www.powayhs.com. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Real Estate Solutions for San Diego Seniors T

here are benefits to letting go of a home you’ve owned for decades and trading down to one that’s smaller, less expensive, and easier to maintain. You may be able to hold on to your low property taxes if you qualify under California’s Proposition 60. Prop 60 enables homeowners who are at least 55 years old to transfer the property tax base from their current home to another home that is equal or less in current market value as long as the new and old homes are located in the same county. Let’s say you’re 60 years old and have owned your home for 30 years. You paid $250,000 for it, which was its current market value at that time, and established your

property tax base at $250,000. Property taxes are reassessed to current market value when a property sells. Over time, the county assessor can increase your property base no more than 2% per year. Consequently, your current tax base in this example could be up to around $430,000. However, the market value of your home could be as high as $1 million or more due to decades of appreciation. Suppose you pay $900,000 for a new home; it will be assessed at current market value. If your current home sells for $1 million, more than the market value of the replacement home, you may qualify to move your $430,000 tax base to the new home. This would result in a big savings in your property tax bill. The benefit isn’t applied automatically. You would need to apply at your local county assessor’s office. If you’re reassessed at the higher market value of your new home before the assessor approves the transfer

of the tax base from your original home, the excess tax will be refunded to you. Homeowners who sell their original home first have up to two years to buy a new home. You are allowed to pay up to 105% of the current market value of the home you sold if you buy or build the replacement home within one year of selling the original home.
