:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER When Did I Blink? “Don’t blink. They grow up fast.” This was the advice that a close relative gave me when my wife and I decided to start a family. Since then, our family has grown to a total of five – two daughters (15 and 6 years old) and a son (8 years old). Oh yeah, and a crazy dog. I must have blinked somewhere along the way. Recently, our 15-year-old daughter has been preparing to get her driver’s license. She has passed the DMV written permit test and logged her first few official hours of behind-the-wheel driver’s training. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were taking her to her first day of kindergarten. And now, she actually has official documentation from the state allowing her to drive – with restrictions. How did this happen so fast? If looking at the official state-issued document wasn’t enough of a reality check, I sure had one the other night when my daughter asked if she could drive the car (with me in it of course) to dinner at my father-in-law’s house. This is a ten mile drive! I reluctantly said yes with the encouragement and display of enthusiasm from my wife. When did I blink? There are many milestones that you pass when you are a parent. Sitting in the passenger seat while your 15-year-old is driving you for the first time is certainly one of those milestones. We are very proud of her. She is a good kid. As she continues to grow up and mature, we can’t help but get excited for what lies ahead. She is at that special age where absolutely anything is possible in her future. The problem for us is that we don’t want to blink anymore. Just a few blinks ago we were teaching her how to ride a bike – not drive a car. We’ve decided to take the original advice and simply stop blinking – as it turns out, they really do “grow up fast.”
All the best, Derrick Breaux, PUBLISHER

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD
This Poway Mother Uses Her Spanish Skills to Enhance the Lives of Others by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
I
t all started five years ago when Dana Hamson met Angela, her business partner, through the Spanish Language Congregation at her church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Both licensed daycare providers, the women came up with the idea of starting a bilingual daycare center and Amigos Bilingues Childcare was born. “Amigos Bilingues Childcare caters to individuals who would like their children to be bilingual,” said Dana. “We have several families whose parents speak Spanish, and want their children to continue strengthening their Spanish skills.” Dana, who has two Masters Degrees from San Diego State University – in Social Work, and in Public Health – explains that parents also sign up simply because they are interested in having their children speak two languages. Childcare is certainly not an area in which Dana lacks experience. She and her husband, Matt Hamson, are
busy raising seven children of their own, ranging from one year old to eighteen. “We did not start out with the idea of having a big family,” said Dana, “but we are very glad we did!” This family of nine is certainly an active one. “The beach is my family’s favorite place,” said Dana. “The children and their father love to surf, boogie board, body surf, skim board, kayak, play volleyball and just play for hours on the beach. They also love sports – we have water polo, rugby and volleyball players!” For the past five years, Dana and her husband have been leading the Spanish Language Congregation at their church. “It has grown significantly over the last few years and has members from countries all over the world – Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala and El Salvador,” exuded Dana. “We feel a great deal of satisfaction in getting to know the members from so many different cultures and providing what support we can to help build and strengthen the Congregation.” With all that she has on her plate, it seems unlikely Dana would have any free time. But don’t let her busy schedule fool you. Somehow Dana also manages to find time for exercise. “I love to walk, jog or bike around Poway!” ¢

A Special Tribute to Sharon Stephens
M
ore than just a smiling face and a helping hand, Sharon Stephens was someone extraordinary! Born on New Year’s Eve in Newport Beach, to John and Carol Kasser, (and big sis – Karen) she grew up to be an All-American volleyball player at the University of Pacific and was later elected to the UOP Hall of Fame. Sharon met her husband, Cam, working in the athletic department at UC Santa Barbara. They married in 1998 and lived in various places, including the Bay Area, Orange County, Phoenix and more recently, San Diego. Sharon and Cam have a son, Cole (9) and a daughter, Casey (8). Sharon ran the Men’s Pac-12 basketball tournament on top of planning weddings and parties. She was a Brownie leader and team mom for sports, PTA President at Chaparral Elementary and a Sponsorship Chair for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Dawn
facebook.com/92064magazine
Zwibel, Principal of Chaparral Elementary School says, “Sharon was the type of woman who would do everything for everybody and did it well! She never said no, and her support of Chaparral was endless. She was an amazing mom, PTA leader, and friend.” Sharon had a personality that lit up a room and everyone loved being around her. In 2011, during her second battle with breast cancer, her team for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was appropriately named, Team WWSD? (What Would Sharon Do?) She was an inspiration to many, as she completed the 5K with her team! Even now, her family and friends continue to keep her spirit alive as they proudly wear their team t-shirts. It is a constant reminder of what a unique and valuable person Sharon was. ¢

She loves her neighborhood and especially her school. “My favorite part of school is the incredible teachers,” said Taylor. She has loved her first year at Twin Peaks Middle School and continues to earn high marks in all of her classes. One of the highlights of Taylor’s year has been participating in the drama club. Taylor played Captain Zack Farrow in the production of Peter Pan and will be the genie in Aladdin. She also participates in the school’s news broadcast on their K-RAM network. “It gives students the opportunity to explore the magic of video producing,” said Taylor. “We have morning jobs which are like a real news broadcast center.” “Taylor works so hard for her grades and to succeed in every sport or club she is in,” said her mother, Jennifer. “Her dedication blows me away.” Taylor has made the honor roll and was student of

Her smile brightens everyone’s day.” ¢

Wine, Dine and Win at POW! Foundation Taste of Our Towne Event by JENNIFER FRAKES
F
or anyone looking for an evening of food, wine and fun for a good cause, look no further than the inaugural Taste of Our Towne event benefitting the Poway Center for the Performing Arts Foundation (POW! Foundation). The event, which takes place on June 23, will feature samplings from local restaurants and wineries, live music, dancing and both a live and silent auction. “After several years of hosting our annual fundraiser offsite, we’re tremendously excited to bring the event home to the Poway Center. The POW! Foundation’s vision is to provide a sort of ‘town square’ for our region – a place where neighbors can gather to create memories. Taste of Our Towne perfectly captures that vision,” said Yvonne Dows, Marketing Manager for the POW! Foundation. Just as the food and beverages served at Taste of Our Towne will showcase local restaurants and wineries, the auctions include many items from local businesses. “Some of the auction items include a Ramona wine getaway, a ‘Summer Fun in Poway’ package and a ‘backstage pass’ to the San Diego Zoo package,” said Dows. According to Dows, fundraisers such as Taste of Our Towne help the POW! Foundation fulfill its mission of providing world-class cultural and entertainment

experiences for the residents of North Inland County. The POW! Foundation was formed in 1991 and each year the non-profit organization brings a series of professional concerts, dramas, dance programs and more to the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. “Our vision is to create unique experiences for our community – where neighbors can sit shoulder-to-shoulder and create a shared memory, where families can gather for an electrifying live show and where young people can get a taste of the wonderful world beyond their doorstep, ” said Dows. In addition, the POW! Foundation hosts the Arts in Education Initiative, a series of programs designed to provide much-needed arts programs in our public schools. As stated by Dows, these programs include onstage theatre camps, in-school assemblies and more. “All proceeds from the auctions will benefit the Arts in Education programs as well as our main stage,” said Dows. ¢ For more information about Taste of Our Towne, including ticket availability and pricing, please visit www.powayarts.org.

Kids in Action by MICHELLE TREMBLAY
L
ast fall, a group of parents to Chaparral Elementary School students formed Kids in Action, an organization dedicated to teaching young students the importance of giving back to the community. “A parent many years back had wanted to provide service opportunities for the children, so the PTA joined with a national organization which coordinates monthly service projects for members,” said parent member Dan Luken. “It was a nice organization, but we did have to pay dues.” So, Dan and fellow parents - Keri Sarojak, Jill Cleveland and Leanne Mashouf - decided that this was something they could organize on their own and as a result created Kids in Action. Meetings for the group occur on the first Wednesday of every month during the school lunch break and so far the turnout has been exceptional. “The kids show up to our tables over their lunch break, sign in and help out on the project,” said Dan. “We have had 483 kids participate in at least one event this year, 72% of the student body, with 84 students participating in all 5 [events], 13% of the student population.” The student members are encouraged to provide input on project ideas – something of which is a large part of the group’s success. As
a matter of fact, the Youth Leadership Team was recently created to be responsible for choosing next year’s projects, with the guidance of the parent volunteers. “Students had to complete a questionnaire and essay on why they would like to be on the leadership team,” said Dan. “Twelve students were then selected for this first group of leaders. The Leadership Team this year helped plan and run our April event which was raising money and making five blankets for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.” Kids in Action’s first event took place in November, with students donating handdecorated placemats to seniors residing at the Palomar Skilled Nursing facility. Other successful events have included: making lunch and conducting a canned food drive for the homeless, creating uplifting cards for children at local hospitals, putting together toiletry kits for members of the military and a school clean-up. One of the most rewarding parts of leading the members of Kids in Action, explained Dan, has been “watching the kids tackle a project with so much energy and enthusiasm.” In May the kids were rewarded for all their hard work with a well-deserved ice cream social. ¢

enjoy gardening and growing different fruits and vegetables especially when the ingredients come together for a delicious and fresh recipe,” explained Rochele Bratten. Alongside her husband, Aaron, two kids and two dogs, Rochele is looking forward to festive family gatherings while embracing all the patriotism the 92064 community gathers for during the summer months. Rochele’s Patriotic Pie is a simple recipe for families to make together, presents beautifully and is sure to be a delightful addition to a neighborhood gathering. “I love this recipe because it reminds me of everything summer. It is easy to make and everybody loves it. You can even make it on the lighter side by using low fat whipped topping and it’s still delicious,” said Rochelle. Although Rochelle is a green thumb in her own garden, you may bump in to the Bratten family scoping out other fresh ingredients at The Old Poway Park Farmers Market, a favorite local activity they attend regularly. ¢

att’s Navy career brought us to San Diego and we chose to live in Poway because of the small town feel and the good schools,” said Jennifer Richards, who along with her family, has happily settled in the community of Rancho Arbolitos after 13 moves during Matt’s career as a United States Naval Officer. Over the last ten years, Jennifer, Matt and their three children have put down roots in Poway and are active members of the community. Jennifer owns and operates Poway Pilates Fitness Studio, volunteers at each of her children’s schools and plays violin for Emmanuel Faith Community Church in Escondido. Matt is a huge Chargers fan and enjoys researching and carrying out do-it-yourself tasks. “Matt has the ability to fix anything and takes on [a lot of] household projects,” said Jennifer, who met Matt through their high school youth group in Tucson, Arizona. Matt is currently transitioning from his 23 years in the Navy to the civilian sector and Jennifer states that over the course of his career Matt served in Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Iraqi Freedom and

was deployed multiple times. He has been awarded four Naval commendations, one Army commendation and five Navy achievement medals. “People always ask how I kept everything going while Matt was deployed. I just say that it’s hard being a Navy wife. Three things that helped were [my] faith, being extremely organized and having three very understanding kids,” explained Jennifer, who has been married to Matt for 21 years. As for those three understanding children, according to Jennifer, each one brings something fun and unique to the family. “Tyler, 14, does competitive boxing at The Boxing Club, loves video games and collecting gem stones. Tracy, 11, is a Girl Scout, plays violin and likes to draw Japanese cartoons. Nate, 8, is a Boy Scout, plays lacrosse and loves playing with the swords his dad makes for him,” mentioned Jennifer. Spending time together is important to the Richards family, who enjoys eating sushi on Friday nights, sitting by their fire pit and playing board games. “We also enjoy snowboarding as a family and taking mini-vacations to Lake Tahoe and Big Bear,” said Jennifer. ¢ 92064magazine.com

for the pageant - perfecting an opening dance routine, honing their interviewing and speaking skills, and learning to walk on and off stage with poise and presence. Contestants also volunteered their time at the Poway Community Park Easter Egg Hunt and at Poway Spirit Day. The pageant awards scholarships to the winners. Pilar received a $2000 scholarship and Natalie, $1000. Three princesses chosen for each court also received smaller scholarship amounts.

In honor of the pageant’s 50th year, the County Board of Supervisors proclaimed May 8th “Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway Scholarship Pageant Day” in San Diego County. Pilar, Natalie and the princesses are looking forward to making the year a successful one. They will each volunteer 150-200 hours for a variety of events throughout Poway and San Diego and will continue to wear the Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway crowns with pride. ¢

Break Into Song with the Children’s Choir by JENNIFER FRAKES
C
hildren who participate in the San Diego Children’s Choir (SDCC) can expect to not only receive an education in music, but also experience rehearsing, performing and being part of a culturally diverse team. “The SDCC provides the youth of San Diego with the highest quality choral music education and performance experience, [while also] fostering an awareness of cultural diversity and inspiring a lifelong love of music,” said Danielle Balestra, Community Relations Coordinator. According to Danielle, the SDCC is open to boys and girls ages 4 to 18, from all racial, ethnic, religious and economic backgrounds. The SDCC was founded in 1990 by Polly Campbell, an avid lover of music and musical education. “We began with only a single branch and two choir levels. The choir now has five branches with four choir levels and over 250 participants,” explained Danielle. Currently, there are five locations

for the core choral program - Mira Mesa, Rancho Bernardo, Del Mar, Hillcrest and Allied Gardens. “We also have an SDCC Neighborhood Choir outreach program that spans City Heights, Imperial Beach and National City,” said Danielle. In addition to weekly rehearsals at a site that is convenient for each child, participants in the SDCC will perform in multiple concerts, performances and enrichment programs throughout the year. The children perform one large concert per semester with the most recent being a children’s opera, Noye’s Fludde, at Copley Symphony Hall. For the older children there is typically an international tour each year. “The choir has performed in Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy,” Danielle mentioned. The SDCC is divided into four main levels: Preparatory (grades 1-2), Intermediate (grades 3-5), Concert (grades 6-9) and Youth (grades 10-12). There is also the Early Year program for children ages 4-5. Membership in the SDCC is by audition, with the exception

of the Preparatory level. “The purpose of the audition is to insure the potential chorister has a healthy voice and can sing on pitch,” explained Danielle. The fees for membership are graduated based on choir level, and sibling discounts as well as scholarships are available. “The policy for the SDCC is to keep tuition affordable for all members of the San Diego community,” stressed Danielle. ¢ For more information about the SDCC, including the upcoming Making Music Summer Camp, please visit www.sdcchoir.org.

Rotary Club Celebrates Rotarians At Work Day Members of the Rotary Club of Poway gathered at the Poway Weingart Senior Center with destruction on their minds. Armed with axes, sledgehammers and crowbars, they came to rip out the cabinets at the senior center’s bistro so that new ones could be installed. The club was there by invitation and it was all part of Rotarians At Work Day. Once the ‘out with the old’ was accomplished, walls were patched and painted and new tile was laid on the floor. Rotarians At Work Day is an event held the last Saturday in April each year in which clubs around the world identify a hands-on project that all members can participate in to help their local community. It began in 2006 as a joint effort between a Rotary district in the United States and one in Mexico.

Soccer Tournament to Benefit Susan G. Komen
The Kickin’ It Challenge – a two-day soccer tournament – scheduled for June 23–24 at the Frances Ryan Park in Escondido, will donate all proceeds to the San Diego Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation. The tournament is the first of its kind in San Diego, hosted by the Poway Vaqueros, with fields provided by the City of Escondido. More than 120 youth soccer teams are expected to “Unite in the Fight” against breast cancer. The tournament hopes to raise at least $20,000 for the San Diego Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation and to show young soccer players how to make a direct impact in their community while doing something they love. “Everyone knows someone impacted by breast cancer,” said Pam Bickel, President of Poway Youth Soccer. “Just in our club alone, we have a handful of survivors, and we have lost more than one mom in the last couple of years to breast cancer. We felt it was time to bring a tournament to our community where funds raised will be donated to help local families struggling with breast cancer.” The city of Escondido, E7 sports, Puma, Soccer Loco, and other organizations are sponsors of the tournament thus far. The venue for the event will be as unique as the tournament itself displaying pink field lines, tents, banners, referee flags and whistles. In addition to tournament winners, one team will receive the Pink Pride Award given by the tournament directors for the best showcase of breast cancer awareness and support. Teams must register by May 20 via the tournament’s website. To learn more about the tournament, rules, sponsors and schedules, visit www.kickinitchallenge.com.

rom the custom coffees to the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and popcorn to the wireless connection, Poway Braces does the little things that are important to make patients feel comfortable, at ease and actually excited about visiting the office. “I want my patients and their families to know that I truly care about them,” said Dr. William Thomas, an acclaimed orthodontist who began Poway Braces in 1999. “Not only is it about making their smile and bite really nice, but to also give a total experience that is fun, down to earth, and enjoyable.” A fantastic way to increase selfconfidence, orthodontic treatment – at any age – improves dental health and creates a beautiful smile to share with everyone you meet. Dr. Thomas and his professional staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly and personalized environment – and with the most recent techniques and procedures. “We utilize the latest technological advances in orthodontics, including the Damon system, Invisalign for adults and children,

He graduated from the University of San Diego (Magna Cum Laude), where he was selected outstanding male student, delivered the senior address, and was captain of the Toreros football
The team at Poway Braces, located at 13376 Poway Road, understands that everyone’s time is valuable; so much emphasis is placed on effectively managing the treatment schedule. “A great majority of our patients are seen on time for their appointments.” Dr. Thomas said. “When you arrive for your appointment, we are ready for you. We treat you, not just your teeth. Your

concerns are our concerns. In addition, Dr. Thomas specializes in personalized care for his patients, providing ample time to each individual. “We are committed to providing you with the personalized orthodontic care you deserve and we always do what is in the best interest of our patients,” he emphasized. “We will exceed your expectations. Our office’s number one priority is to exceed your expectations in our quality of care and service. For the patient, this means a convenient appointment schedule, flexible payment plans, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff with years of orthodontic experience.” Dr. Thomas is especially proud to be in the forefront of practices around the world offering new technology. Among the newer techniques now available at Poway Braces:
Digital X-rays – Not only are all necessary X-rays handled right in the office, but this new technology reduces radiation level by an estimated 90% compared to conventional machines
Self Ligation Braces (Damon Braces) – These provide the ability to keep treatment as comfortable as possible, decrease the need to extract teeth, reduce the need to use palatal expanders, and enhance our ability to give patients a beautiful broad smile
Totally Clear Damon Braces – These new all clear self ligation braces never change color and work exactly as the regular metal braces. For those patients concerned about esthetics, these braces are the perfect choice

Completely custom braces – Poway Braces is one of a select few in the San Diego area that provides totally customized braces and wires through a high tech technology called Insignia. Braces and the wires are customized using specialized computer software and high tech equipment. This treatment allows us to often finish treatment in 10-12 months, rather than the typical 18-24 months

Wilckodontics has been a fantastic treatment option for people not wanting to spend 18-24 months in braces. Total treatment time often is only 4-6 months. But even with all the new technology and innovative treatment methods and procedures, the Poway Braces staff continues to focus on personalized care and specific patient needs. “Imagine an orthodontic office that your son or daughter actually looks forward to visiting,” said Dr. Thomas. “Imagine receiving the individual care and attention from your orthodontist and his professional staff that you expect and deserve.

How was the decision made to form the Sulpizio Family Branch (Poway Branch) Boys & Girls Club? What is the history behind its establishment?
from other clubs in the county through the Professional Association. Club executives and board members meet regularly and collaborate on projects – this group is called the Area Council.
In 1998 we ran our program out of Meadow Brook, then in 2003 we opened our own building at our current location. We had been running programs at two middle schools in Poway for some time. Mayor Mickey Cafagna took an interest in the club and toured one of our other branch locations. He decided that Poway needed a full-fledged branch. He was instrumental in helping to identify where the club would be built and arranged for a long-term lease for the club (the club sits on city land). He also helped secure some of the funding for the building. The Sulpizio Family gave a million dollars to the capital campaign for the building and so the branch was named after them. Many people from the community provided funding for the project.
My first encounter with the Boys & Girls Club was when I was 10 years old. I used to attend the Carlsbad Boys & Girls. Then when I started my career I began working with the YMCA for a few years, then I opened my own Youth Center in North Park that was a creative arts youth center that helped inner city youth. After the budget cuts it ended up losing funding, so I got picked up by the Boys & Girls Club. I have been a part of the Boys & Girls Club for a little over a year. I am happy to be a part of the organization that helps change lives in the community.
What is the relationship with other Boys & Girls Clubs in San Diego County?

Astraea is poised and ready to make it big and when she does, get ready to get dirty and have some fun. “Music is the fabric of my being. When I’m not around it or partaking in it, I feel unfulfilled. I’m happy to say that I chose a career that is a combination of drama, music and storytelling. There’s nothing else I’d rather do,” says the pop chanteuse who started singing at age six. Astraea describes her music as dance/pop and aspires to get teens and adults alike on the dance floor with her fun, flirty yet edgy style.

The Cambridge School Promotes Academic and Personal Excellence with a Classical Christian Education by JENNIFER FRAKES
O
“
ur challenging curriculum and exceptional programs help to create a unique educational environment that nurtures a lifelong love of learning,” said Jean Kim, founder and Head of School at The Cambridge School. The Cambridge School, which provides its students with a classical Christian education, was founded in the fall of 2006 as a result of Kim’s search for educational options for her own children. “Classical Christian education was a compelling model, but I couldn’t find any such schools in San Diego at the time,” said Kim, a long-time educator, Yale graduate and mother of three. According to Kim, The Cambridge School occupies a unique niche in San Diego’s educational landscape as a school that is both academically rigorous and spiritually robust. “A Cambridge education cultivates students marked by both virtue and scholarship, both intelligence and character, and [fosters] love of God and neighbor,” said Kim. The classical model of education teaches students how to master basic terminology and concepts, analyze, order and synthesize information and how to communicate conclusions persuasively and eloquently. As stated by Kim, these tools of learning are then applied to specific subject matter until
they are mastered. “This tried and true model of education is based on the historic liberal arts and has great strength, not only in the humanities, but also in math, science and the arts. This results in an educational experience that is demanding, yet encourages joyful discovery while promoting academic and personal excellence,” said Kim. The Cambridge School currently serves 136 pre-K through 6th grade students and is launching a middle school program in the fall, with plans to gradually expand to a K-12 school. “Our students come from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds,” said Natalie Balmer, Admissions Coordinator. Small class sizes are also important at The Cambridge School, and each classroom is staffed with a full-time teacher and aide. As mentioned by Kim, The Cambridge School has distinguished faculty members, most of whom have MAs and two of whom have Ph.Ds. “Our teachers have more than just academic pedigrees; they love to learn themselves, love their students and this model of education and are gifted at teaching,” said Kim. The Cambridge School is accepting applications for the 2012-13 school year. For additional information, please visit www.cambridgeclassical.org. ¢

Longley will begin her junior year at Poway High this August. She is an active volunteer for the Trinity Baptist Church, participates in field hockey during the fall and hopes to volunteer at Pomerado Hospital during the summer. “I’ve always wanted to be a journalist,” she shared. Longley’s passion is investigative journalism and loves the independence and excitement of collecting new information for stories in the community. “Writing is like throwing myself into history-in-the-making,” Longley added, “it’s very exciting.” After reading the first Titan Insider article in 2011, she set her heart on becoming involved with 92064 Magazine in the future.

Longley hopes to strengthen her work experience in the journalism field - and knows that interning is the best way to find references for the future.

Longley says, “I want to be involved in the community and create new opportunities for myself.” Of course, the Titan Insider internship definitely has been and will be a pathway for opportunity. As I pass the column from one Titan to the next, I will continue pursuing a major in Communications at the University of California in Los Angeles.

W
hen Jack Hawkins founded Canyon Springs Church, he was uncertain of what the future held, but knew he was on the right path. “My wife, Jilane, and I knew in our hearts that God was leading us to start a church,” explained Hawkins. The first service at Canyon Springs Church was on December 6, 1998, at the Scripps Ranch Library. Hawkins was beyond ecstatic when 103 people showed up. Fast forward to 2012 and Canyon Springs Church has grown exponentially, with 10 staff members and hundreds of volunteers. “Thousands have walked through our doors and hundreds have made life-changing decisions to follow Jesus,” said Hawkins. According to Hawkins, the Canyon Springs mission statement, “It’s about the
One,” is the cornerstone of the church. “The One refers to our relationship with Jesus and also our purpose as believers. Once we are in a relationship with the One, our goal is to grow and mature so that God can use us to reach the next one,” said Hawkins. Currently, Sunday services are held at Thurgood Marshall Middle School at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. According to Hawkins, the 70-minute worship service is casual and inspiring, with upbeat and contemporary music. “The messages from the Bible will challenge you, make you laugh, make you think and connect you with a God who wants to help you write the next chapter of your life,” noted Hawkins. As mentioned by Hawkins, the congregation at Canyon Springs Church consists of families in all stages of life—from new parents to empty nesters—and offers
men’s, women’s, children’s, youth and special needs ministries, as well as small groups. “We provide opportunities to serve our church and our community. We also have a global impact with ministry teams that travel to Haiti and Uganda on a regular basis,” added Hawkins. As for the future, Canyon Springs Church is looking for a building that will provide them with a permanent home from which they can continue their ministry. “God has brought together a great team of visionary leaders who are ready to help write a brave new story for Canyon Springs’ future,” said Hawkins. ¢ For more information about Canyon Springs Church, please visit www.canyonsprings.org.

GEOCACHING
High Tech Hide & Seek by TARA PRITCHETT
T
reasure hunting doesn’t have to be pretend or only something you would see on the big screen. Today, over five million people around the world in over 100 countries on all seven continents are seeking treasures through geocaching according to geocaching.com, an official global GPS cache hunt site. Geocaching, a derivation of the outdoor sporting activity of Geotrekking, is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. After almost 12 years of activity, there are close to two million active geocaches published on various websites. The only necessities to participate are a GPS device or a GPS-enabled mobile phone so you can navigate to the cache. One popular website (www.Geocaching. com) takes you through the process from getting started to logging your findings in eight easy steps. 1. Register - A Basic Membership on www.Geocaching.com is free and requires only a valid email address and your name to create an account. 2. Visit the “Hide & Seek a Cache” page. 3. Enter your zip code and click “search.” 4. Choose any geocache from the list and click on its name. 5. Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device. 6. Use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with
54
92064 Magazine
their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. 7. Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. If you take something from the geocaches, leave something of equal or greater value. 8. Share your geocaching stories and photos online. Geocaches can be found all over the world and creativity has been instrumental in keeping the sport active. When researching where to start your hunt, remember that geocachers tend to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. (Locations could vary from your local park, at the end of a long trek, on the side of a city street or even underwater.) The hobby of geocaching has sparked boundless opportunities for adventure in your own backyard. You have the answer next time you hear “Where shall we go?” Go outside and find a Geocache. This family friendly, outdoor activity will optimize your time together while having fun, getting exercise and taking in the fresh air. Who knows, this new found hobby, may lead you to that treasure you have been hunting for. ¢

Multicultural Night at Tierra Bonita
Elementary

ael Gilson and Sue Bedford joined the Tierra Bonita Elementary School PTA when their children first started at the school – Gael in 1995 and Sue in 2000. Fast forward to 2012, and these two women have put in countless hours supporting the school and its students. “The Tierra Bonita PTA is always very busy organizing activities and programs for the children and fundraising events to support them,” mentioned Sue. Gael and Sue agree that Multicultural Night, which takes place every other spring, is their proudest achievement while volunteering with the TBES PTA. “We are bringing an understanding to our kids that it is important to embrace our differences. We are thrilled to see other cultural events popping up all over the district,” said Gael and Sue, who put on the most recent Multicultural Night on May 4, 2012. Multicultural Night began in 1996 when Gael, who teaches English Language Learners at Tierra Bonita, wanted to create a way for those children to share something of their heritage with others in the TBES community. “It was an opportunity for them to showcase their cultural heritage and celebrate their diverse backgrounds through songs, games and food from their countries. It was also a way to introduce children from Poway to diverse cultures and experiences,” explained Gael, who is originally from New Zealand and has lived all over the world. From that small celebration, Tierra Bonita’s Multicultural Night has evolved into a large scale extravaganza, with booths representing 26 countries, food, music, dancing, crafts and games. According to Sue, upon arriving at the school entrance families will find that it has been transformed into a cruise ship dock. “Captain ‘E’ – otherwise known as Joe Erpelding, the Principal of Tierra Bonita, greets children with a passport to be stamped at every country which has magically appeared inside the school,” said Sue, who immigrated to the United States from England in 1996. Both women are quick to note that they could not put on such a successful event without a great deal of support. “There are too many people to thank individually, as we must thank every member of the TBES PTA, teachers, staff and parents who help to organize the booths, work tirelessly behind the scenes and support all the fundraising events,” said Gael and Sue in gratitude. ¢ Gael Gilson Profile Residence: Affiliation: Occupation: Family:

The Truth about
Managing
Pet Allergies
I
f someone in your home has pet allergies, you may wash the pet twice a week, steam clean your carpet or treat your pet with sprays or drops to reduce shedding – but is there any proof that taking these actions help? Kusum Sharma, MD, Director of Allergy & Asthma Clinics at AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine offers the following research and evidence-based environmental changes that can reduce the pet allergen levels in your home and may help stop allergy symptoms: 1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Replace carpeting with hard surfaces. Did you know carpeted floors accumulate 100 times more cat allergens than hard floors? Switch to polished surfaces like hardwood floors, stone or tile. Reduce fabric upholstered furniture. Research shows that upholstered furniture and curtains contain significant amounts of cat dander and even more than what is found on the floor. Wash bedding and curtains. To remove dog/cat dander from bedding and curtains, use one of these three techniques: wash in water at least 140°F with one rinse; wash at any temperature with two rinses; or wash in a steam washing machine. Use tightly woven bed coverings. Protective coverings for mattresses, box springs and pillows are often recommended, and studies show that tightly woven fabric with openings less than 4 microns wide can reduce allergens. Make multiple changes for best results. Studies show that making multiple indoor environment changes is required to significantly reduce pet allergens.
Pet owners with allergies or asthma symptoms should see an allergist who will evaluate if they are truly allergic to pets and discuss treatment options, including reducing allergen exposure, medications most effective for their particular symptoms and allergy shots (immunotherapy). The truth is, you can live with your pets without suffering allergy symptoms. ¢
There’s little evidence these control tips work when it comes to pet allergies: • Bathing pets with water and special shampoo • Steam cleaning carpet and upholstery • Giving pet oral agents or topical sprays to reduce shedding • Using a HEPA vacuum To learn more about allergies and asthma, take a free relief self-test at www.AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org.

Keep your home
safe
How to boost your home security while you are vacationing by TARA PRITCHETT
H
ome security is certainly an important part of any trip plan whether you’re preparing for a quick getaway or an extended vacation. To make sure your home security is up to par and you can truly enjoy your trip, run through the following home security tips before you hit the road. • Locate and turn off the main water valve, which is usually found on the front, street-facing side of a home’s lower level. • Drain toilets and tanks by holding down the flush lever until the water is gone. • Turn off the water heater. • Turn off all nonessential electrical circuit breakers in your home’s electrical box. • Disconnect/ unplug all appliances large and small. • Turn off your A/C. • Put lights in main living areas on timers and set them to simulate occupancy. • Don’t broadcast your absence or your location of vacation with photos and/or status updates on social media like Facebook or Twitter. • Leave blinds and curtains in normal positions wherever possible, taking care not to expose belongings.

• Protect valuables from theft (important papers, jewelry, etc.) by securing them in a home safe or safe deposit box. • Make sure your computer is turned off and disconnected from the Internet, particularly if it contains personal information. • Put away or shred telltale bills and receipts that add to the risk of identity theft. • Activate your alarm system and notify the home security company of your days away

providing them with interim contact information. • Ensure all windows and doors are securely locked before you leave for vacation. • Finish all yard work before you go while giving special attention to trimming trees and shrubs near windows and entries. • Improve exterior lighting by putting outdoor lighting on timers. Add motion-sensitive lamps in dark pockets, as well as in natural pathways. • Remove secret keys from their undisclosed outdoor locations, providing only one of your duplicates to the person who’ll be in charge while you’re out of town. • Organize your neighbors. A neighborhood watch won’t cost you anything but some time. For tips, visit www.ncpc.org. • Have a house helper collect your mail, parcels and newspapers daily. • Invite a neighbor or family member to park a car in your driveway. • Inform the local police department of your plans so they can add your home to their vacation watch list. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Real Estate Today – Strategic Defaults by SCOTT VOAK
S
trategic defaults are getting more attention in the press and are likely to continue to do so. Changes in the HARP program, Fannie and Freddie’s loan mod programs and the impending expiration of tax breaks for debt forgiveness are creating a lot of confusion in the market place. People I meet with are realizing that if the market rises 5% a year, they might not get back to break-even on their home for 10-15 years. For adjustable loans, looming payment increases add to the fear. One family I worked with had a choice between staying in their current underwater home or sending their kids to college. However, as tempting as a Strategic Default may be (setting aside the moral issues), it’s not as simple as defaulting on your mortgage and letting the bank take your home. There are important issues regarding debt relief income and recourse loans that could have you owing taxes and unpaid balances. Done incorrectly, the strategic default could hurt your credit for seven years, plus cost 30-45% of the forgiven debt in taxes and leave you with full liability on your second loan. While a Strategic Default is an option, it needs to be looked at carefully and compared to loan modifications, short sales, etc. I have assembled a team with a bankruptcy attorney, credit repair attorney and a CPA to help people determine the best course of action. Consultations are free, so if you would like to meet to discuss options, please give me a call. ¢
