Community. Family. Fun. Community. Family. Fun. These things are very important to the residents living in the Poway area. And 92064 Magazine reflect the same ideals and interests. Whether it’s getting details on an event sponsored by local organizations (such as Poway Spirit Days, page 19) – getting to know your neighbors (page 20), or celebrating a local youth (page 14), we plan to give you – in every issue – a slice of the lifestyle you love. You can sample a local resident’s favorite recipe for a backyard cookout, learn about close-to-home outdoor fun spots, and get to know more about a lot of people who live and work right here in your neighborhoods. Plus you’ll see lots of names and faces of local people playing, participating in activities and attending local events. By picking up the latest issue of 92064 Magazine – or checking out www.92064Magazine.com – you can know everything that’s going on in the area, from the school schedules to special events, from youth sports to the clubs and organizations. And we encourage you to tell us what you think, what you want to see and read in your local publication, and always offer suggestions on who and what we should put in the local spotlight.

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD
Pushing for Success Hulsizer Emphasizes Efforts To Support Local Businesses
T
he mission of the Poway Chamber of Commerce is simple and straightforward: Provide leadership, education, and advocacy to strengthen and enhance economic prosperity for its members, businesses, and the region. But Chamber President and CEO Luanne Hulsizer puts an emphasis on the economical aspect of the organization’s role in the community. “Our priority this year is to provide a strong local business association with regional outreach that drives business to our members,” said Hulsizer, in the Chamber’s lead position since 2007. Hulsizer fears the continued challenges of the economy will continue to cause local businesses to cut back on marketing. “Many businesses are still operating under reduced revenue,” she said. “They cut back on marketing budgets and are therefore not at the forefront of the consumers’ choice.” She added that many businesses also are operating with fewer employees, which impacts the amount of time an owner or manager can dedicate to relationship/sales development – making it even more important for the Chamber to assist its members in securing new customers. Such emphasis on shopping at hometown businesses is not new to the Chamber, though; back in 1986, the organization launched its first “shop local” program. Then, in 2007, the Chamber and the City of Poway launched another similar effort -- the “Poway Your First Choice” marketing effort. Hulsizer, who has a degree in psychology, spent more than 30 years in professional positions – including healthcare office management and the director of two non-profit home care agencies – before taking on the leadership position with the Poway Chamber.
A mother of three, she lives in San Marcos with husband Mike Preston. And it’s clear she has a passion for supporting the Poway business community. “The most rewarding aspect of being President and CEO of the Poway Chamber is engaging with our members and the businesses,” Hulsizer said. “I enjoy hearing personally from our members and the community. My door is always open.” The Chamber actually began in 1950, as an outreach effort from a local men’s group. Today, the organization offers a wide range of programs, services, local events and networking opportunities to its hundreds of members. “We regularly assess our programs and benefits to support the business community,” Holsizer said. “During the past two years, we have upgraded our database to support greater (internet) exposure for our members – and added weekly networking groups. We will continue to stay abreast of social networking and the new advantages that it provides to bridging business referrals and connections.” She noted that some recent Chamber accomplishments included: ► Establishment of Poway Days Festival in September – and the promotion of other Poway events, such as Poway Days, throughout the San Diego region. ► The joint economic development projects with the City of Poway, such as the “Poway Your First Choice” promotion and the Poway Business Summit – held earlier this year to gain input from local businesses. ► The inaugural San Diego Inland Business Expo in early June, with guest speakers, seminars and exposure for local businesses.

Poway High PTSA Award-Winner Has Hopes for a Baseball Career

oway High School senior Chad Etchison already has learned life lessons – and knows how he wants to live his life. Etchison’s first love is baseball, which started when he was just five years old. He currently plays on Poway High School’s varsity baseball team as a pitcher and enjoys the pressure and intensity of the game. “I have learned to channel that pressure into adrenaline to increase my overall performance,” Etchison said. Future goals for baseball include playing in college and, hopefully, being drafted by a Major League Baseball team someday. In school, Etchison’s favorite subject is history, which he describes as “amazing.” He enjoys learning about “how everything started” and likes to study battles and wars, specifically learning about World War II. Last year, Etchison had the opportunity to travel to Europe and visit the beaches in Normandy where the Allies launched the assault on Nazi Germany. “It was amazing actually going to these sites where men fought and died for their countries, all so we could live the way we do now,” said Etchison. Receiving the Parent Teacher Student Award (PTSA) twice in high school was another highlight for Chad Etchison this student. The awards are presented to students who 17 go above and beyond in the classroom, and to students Poway High School who reach out to others. Etchison received his first 12 award his sophomore year in his math class (not his faMike and Dawn Etchison vorite subject) for hard work and improved grades and his second one this year in physics for showing compassion and friendship to a teacher when she was going through a difficult time. For his senior project, Etchison chose
92064 Magazine

to organize a baseball clinic and barbecue for more than 150 orphans and underprivileged children in Tijuana. He handled all the details and plans locally, while working with a contact in Tijuana. Donations were collected from a fundraiser Etchison organized at Poway High School, and he recruited 20 volunteers to help with the event. “It was organized chaos and I loved every minute of it,” he said. “(After) all the hard work and stress I put into the project, I was rewarded with hundreds of smiles.” For Etchison, memories of being at Poway High are bittersweet. As a close friend of Chelsea King, he experienced first-hand the sorrow and disbelief over the events that transpired just over a year ago (she was killed while running at a Rancho Bernardo park). But he also saw the community at Poway High come together and form inseparable bonds with each other that will last a lifetime. “I learned not to take my life for granted because I never know when my day will come. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think of my dear friend Chelsea,” said Etchison. “I think about the strength that I was able to have during those times and apply it to my everyday life...I know I will never forget the lessons I have learned from Chelsea King and Poway High.” Etchison lives with his parents Mike and Dawn Etchison, and brother Andrew in Green Valley Estates in Poway. ¢

Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center Rich in Local History
A
t least 1,000 years ago, a people called the Kumeyaay lived throughout what is now San Diego County and Baja California. During that time, the Pauwai Valley was occupied by hundreds of Kumeyaay-Ipai, who basically subsisted by living off the land. The Kumeyaay were still in what is now Poway until the early 1900s, though most apparently had moved to reservations or other areas earlier. Today, the Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center of Pauwai at 13104 Ipai Waaypuk Trail (formerly Silver Lake Drive) in Poway is a 5-acre site rich in Kumeyaay-Ipai local history. The various parcels of land were acquired by the City of Poway beginning in 1987 to preserve the site as a significant American Indian cultural site. “Preserving the site, as well as expanding it with further land acquisitions, opens great opportunities for revitalizing consciousness of history and culture, as well as spreading this knowledge to the broader San Diego County community,” San Pasqual Band of Kumeyaay Indians Tribal Chairman Allen E. Lawson said, regarding the Silver Lake site acquisition. Premiere Issue 2011
The concept of building a center on this site started with Eamon Kavanagh, who had volunteered to help remove trash from this city owned property after his retirement from private industry. According to the Poway Chieftain in a 1996 article, “Kavanagh started working last August (1995) to formulate the interpretive center. According to him, the center will explain the historical, cultural and social history of the Kumeyaay to modern people. An important aspect of the center will be demonstrations of a variety of Indian arts and customs out in the open in the actual area they were performed.” The center was dedicated on June 14, 2002, in a ceremony marked by solemn chanting from the Bird Song Singers, American Indians and the descendants of European settlers. “We sing about creation, the sun coming up and going down, and we bless this land on which our ancestors lived for thousands of years,” said Raymond Belardes Jr., a member of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, a Kumeyaay people (as quoted in the San Diego Union Tribune). The Friends of the Kumeyaay (www. angelfire.com/falcon/kumeyaay/friends.html), the San Pasqual Band of Indians, and the City 92064magazine.com
of Poway worked together to develop a vision for the property and to start on the development of a replica Kumeyaay Village. Docents now offer interpretive trail tours to educate the public and school children in the heritage practices of the ancient Kumeyaay on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The trail takes visitors around the site, past ramadas, interpretive signage, native gardens, irrigation systems and a Kumeyaay House (‘ewaa). These were constructed by various Eagle Scout candidates and adult volunteers. Visitors will see plants used by past inhabitants, ramadas that provided shade from the hot sun, milling stations where they ground acorns, and large boulders which provided them with shelter and security. At the edge of the heritage site is a modern modular building housing and protecting important displays. Other upgrades include parking for the handicapped, an ADA accessible walkway to the ‘ewaa, and a lowwater irrigation system for a demonstration garden of drought-tolerant plants often used by the Kumeyaay. These features were funded by the City of Poway, the Friends of Kumeyaay Ipai Interpretive Center, the Metropolitan Water District, and a grant from the Cultural and Heritage Commission of the State of California. The nearly $800,000 investment allows the Friends to preserve and interpret the history of Poway and the culture of Kumeyaay people who named the valley Pauwai. The Center’s current exhibit is “Poway’s First People: Art and Culture” and highlights artifacts of the site, replica items of Kumeyaay daily living, and a photographic exhibition of North County rock art still visible today. ¢ This article utilized information from the City of Poway’s Poway.org website and other sources.

about the chef A favorite meal at Poway Fire Dept. Station 1 for generations, the Dr Pepper Ribs recipe was submitted by Firefighter/Paramedic D.J. Schroeder. He typically prepares the meal for the five-person C Shift crew. “Boiling the ribs in Dr Pepper lets the ribs absorb all 23 flavors of the soda,” Schroeder, 31, said. “We like to bake the ribs in the oven after boiling them, which makes the rib meat fall right off the bone.” Schroeder, who lives in Carlsbad, said the recipe is not only tasty, but very easy to make. When not at the fire station or cooking ribs, Schroeder is an avid surfer. ¢

Volunteer Effort Cleans Up, Restores, Improves Poway’s Appearance
N
early 200 volunteers from Poway area churches, schools and civic organizations spent time and effort recently giving the community an improved appearance. Among this year’s Poway Spirit Day projects completed during the city-wide effort in April: ●● Weingart Senior Center remodeling, including minor repairs and paint throughout. ●● Restoration of the trail a few blocks north of Palomar Pomerado Hospital trail, including removal of shrubs and weeds and widening. ●● Restoration of the Arbolitos trail, including transporting dirt from the start of the trail uphill to fill eroded spots. ●● Restoration of the Lake Poway Archery trail, which involved clearing brush and weeds and widening. ●● Clearing brush and weeds around the Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center.

The effort to clear a two-acre vacant property near Community and Metate (known as the Metate Triangle) was started, and will continue. Poway Spirit Day began five years ago as a graduation project for a program called the “Poway City Leadership Institute” sponsored by the City of Poway and the Poway Chamber of Commerce to prepare future leaders for the community. When support for
Premiere Issue 2011
the effort began to decrease, it was adopted by the Rotary Club of Poway – at the suggestion of Rotarians Pauline Getz and Merrilee Boyack, who were involved with PCLI. And this year the Poway Community Association became a co-sponsor. Also involved in the 2011 effort were the Poway Soroptimist Club, which handled registration and assignments; the Poway Elks Lodge, which donated and prepared a barbecue lunch for volunteers; the Poway Kiwanis Club, which developed and completed the Poway Senior Center remodeling project. Councilwoman Boyack handled organizing volunteers, publicity, promotion and a multitude of other tasks. “Poway Spirit Day is the perfect solution for high school students to receive credits,” said Boyack, who added that other students might need the requirement for scouts or to qualify for scholarships. “It’s also a great event for families. They can pick the project they want to work on and the amount of time they want to spend doing it.” ¢

Residents of Huntington Gate in Poway, the family moved there in 2009 so their children could attend school in the Poway Unified School District and have a spacious yard and home to grow up in. “We love the wholesome, all-American feel of the Poway community. It is a wonderful place to raise a family.” said Carmela Nicholas. Craig Nicholas, first met Carmela in high school, but the couple never dated until after college. They both attended a New Year’s Eve party thrown by a mutual friend in Mesa, Ariz. in 1993 and started dating after that. Six years later, in 1999, they were married at a winery in Temecula. Carmela Nicholas earned a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley College and a J.D. from the University of San Diego, School of Law. She currently practices as a commercial real estate transactional attorney with the Carmel Valley office of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. Craig Nicholas earned his B.A. in Political Science from UC San Diego and his J.D. from the University of Arizona, School of Law. He is the founding partner of Nicholas & Butler LLP in San Diego, and practices business litigation. The couple has two children, Belinda (9) and Blake (7), and a 12-year old miniature dachshund, Bonnie. During the school year, the kids and Carmela walk to Tierra Bonita Elementary School every day – unless it’s raining – with Craig acPremiere Issue 2011

companying them when he can. Both parents have fond memories of walking to school and want their children to have the same memories. Their morning ritual involves rescuing snails they find along the way and trampling through the crunchy, fallen leaves. Belinda, a 4th grader, loves animals and wants to become a veterinarian someday. She is a natural athlete and has been playing golf since her dad, an avid golfer, taught her at the age of three. Belinda takes lessons at Scratch Golf in Poway and is a member of Coronado Girls Golf. She takes her responsibility as a big sister very seriously and loves to follow and enforce the rules at home. Blake, a 2nd grader, is more carefree, outgoing and social and enjoys being a Wolf Cub Scout. Blake has not quite decided what his future career will be but has considered scientist, chef and astronaut as options. Along with his sister, Blake sings with the San Diego Children’s Choir. Exposing their children to different countries, languages and cultures is very important to Carmela and Craig. As a family, they have traveled together to Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Canada. “We hope that our children become seasoned travelers and have good memories of our family trips abroad,” said Carmela. Because of their demanding careers, both parents want to spend their time away from work as a family. “We know that their childhood won’t last forever and we want to enjoy them for as long as we can,” Carmela added. ¢ Know a family that should be profiled in 92064 Magazine?

and I are in the facility every day. I’m still in the water several days a week because I love what I do,” he said. “Our entire staff understands the importance of saying hello, asking how the families’ weekends were, etc. One of the most rewarding things about this is being able to watch the children grow in all aspects of their life and feeling like we’ve been a part of that. We truly are a family around here.” Mike has deep local roots and a love for his community. Raised in Poway, he was introduced to swimming at a very young age – including junior lifeguard training. At Poway High School, he competed in swimming and won All-American honors in water polo. He also competed at the college level (Grossmont College) and the Junior National level, before moving into teaching and coaching water polo throughout the San Diego area. Community involvement is something the Morrills believe in strongly, and it’s become a hallmark of Floaties. “Mike and I want to give back and support our friends and neighbors,” Karyn said. “We decided that community involvement would not only be important in our family life, but in our business practices as well.” facebook.com/92064magazine
So Floaties often participates in local events, supporting school book fairs, and participating in many other programs and fundraisers. “We also were the only small business to be a sponsor of the “Finish Chelsea’s Run” in Balboa Park in March,” Karyn added. In the water, Floaties is all about fun and learning life skills. “Over my years teaching at other facilities, the one thing I always had trouble with was a frightened or scare child. The most common fear was putting their face under water – and that was usually the first thing we were told to do with these children,” Mike said. “That’s not fun.” So he structured Floaties’ curriculum to stress the importance of building trust with students before the actual swimming could begin, thus allowing them to relax and feel comfortable in the water. “Once I have their trust, the swimming is the easy part.” And Karyn emphasized that swimming is a year-round activity that cannot be mastered by children in a week or several weeks. “Learning to swim is a life-long skill and, like any sport, it’s about progression. Swimming lessons give children a life saving skill – and we emphasize the importance of each individual student being able to pull themselves out of a possible life-threatening situation,” she said. Mike and Karyn share are passion and commitment to providing great programs in a family-oriented atmosphere, specializing in teaching children the fundamentals of swimming in a warm, relaxed and loving environment – plus, promoting a great way to develop a healthy lifestyle. “We are offering parents not only what could be a life saving skill for their children, but also trying to introduce a fun and healthy year-round lifestyle activity,” Karyn said. “And it’s one that the entire family can enjoy together.” ¢ Floaties Swim School is located at 13180 Poway Road in Poway.

50 Years of Service to Poway A History of the Poway Fire Department
T Did You Know? On February 8, 1966, Poway Fire Department suffered its only line-of-duty death with the passing of Capt. Ignatius J. Leone due to a heart attack while responding on a structure fire.
he Poway Municipal Water District established the Poway Fire Department in October 1961. The Fire Department began providing emergency services from its first fire station located on Community Road with one fire engine. The Poway Firefighters Association purchased and operated Poway’s only ambulance. This service eventually was turned over to the Fire Department due to the rising operating expenses. As call volume increased, a second
pre-hospital care without increasing staffing levels. This was achieved by the current work force assuming a dual role of firefighter and paramedic. In 1998, the Department of Safety Services again enhanced its paramedic service by including a firefighter/paramedic on both Engine One and Engine Two. The effect of this move was to create a performance standard to deliver advanced life support within six minutes 90 percent of the time. The Poway Municipal Water District
fire engine was added in 1964. Due to long response times and a greater demand for services, a second fire station was built in the northern portion of the district on Lake Poway Road. In 1973, the second fire engine was moved from Station One into the newly constructed Station Two. In 1976, firefighter/paramedics began operating the ambulance. This enhancement significantly improved the delivery of
made a strategic decision in 1977 by determining that a needs assessment was necessary to evaluate station location, apparatus, and personnel needs for the community. As a result of this study completed by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in 1978, a bond issue was placed on the ballot to relocate both Station One and Station Two and to purchase new apparatus. The bond issue passed with 79 percent of the voters in favor, and Station One and Station Two were moved to their existing locations. The study also identified suggested station locations based on future growth in the area. These locations were: Twin Peaks and Pomerado Road; Midland Road and Del Poniente Road; Poway Road and Highway 67. After incorporation in 1980, the Poway Fire Department became the Safety Services Department under the direction of the City of Poway. With the additional demand for services, the City of Poway added a second paramedic ambulance, which was located in an old doctors office off of Monte Vista Rd in 2001. In 2003, Engine 53, was placed into service and Station One became a dual house running two engines until a temporary Station Three was set up on Pomerado Road at Leone Way. The current Station Three opened in 2005. ¢ Source: Poway.org

Two new Beck Brush engines replaced the old military brush engines.
1986
The department added a Beck 1,500-gallon water tender to the fleet.
1988
One of the Mack engines was replaced with a 1988 E-One fire engine. This was one of the first four-door, enclosed-cab fire engines in the county. This engine allowed for enhanced firefighter safety and gave the Poway Fire Department the ability to flow an elevated master stream for the protection of the newly built Poway Business Park.
1989
Mark Sanchez becomes the fifth Fire Chief.
As call volume increased, a second Ford-American LaFrance was purchased in 1964 and both engines worked out of Fire Station One. Poway Firefighters Association purchased and operated Poway’s only ambulance.
1970
The ambulance service was turned over to the Poway Municipal Water District due to the rising operating expenses.
1973
Due to long response times and a greater demand for services, a second station was built on Lake Poway Road in 1973. Capt. Von Ruple served as the department’s second Fire Chief.
1974
Bill Bond became the third Fire Chief.
1975
The Poway Firefighters began a door-to-door campaign to collect donations to help implement the paramedic service. One of the American LaFrance engines was replaced by a Mack engines. These new Mack fire engines allowed firefighters to ride in seats in an open cab rather than on the tailboard thereby increasing firefighter safety. The other American LaFrance engine was replaced by a Mack engine in 1978. The two American LaFrance engines served as reserve engines well into the 1980s.
1976
1977
Seven Poway Firefighters cross-trained as paramedics and began operating the department’s ambulance. This enhancement significantly improved the delivery of prehospital care without increasing staffing levels. The Poway Firefighters built two brush engines out of military surplus cargo transports.

> Q&A CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31
92064 Question: What is the most common misconception about firefighters and emergency personnel? Chief: It is often misunderstood why three firefighters need to shop at the local grocery store. The team must stay together as they could be called for an emergency incident at any time. We try to leave one person at the fire engine, so that they can answer questions from citizens who come up to the engine. We also are more than happy to show the little ones a quick tour of the fire engine while we are in the parking lot. And people often ask why a fire engine goes to emergency medical incidents. Our fire engines have at least one paramedic/firefighter on them (and) the needed equipment to provide advanced life support to a patient prior to the arrival of the ambulance.
Poway Fire Stations
92064 Question: What are the biggest issues facing the department in the next couple of years? Chief: As with all departments in the city, the fire department is suffering budget cuts as we work through these challenging economic times. We will need to continue to work through these challenges as the economy continues a slow recovery.
Address: 14322 Pomerado Road Established: 2001 Current Location: 2005
92064 Question: Can you describe the best or most gratifying aspect of serving the residents of Poway? Chief: When our personnel are able to respond to the emergency call, and assist the residents through what may be the worst day of their life in a manner that saves a life, or lessons the impact and destruction – it is gratifying and makes all the training and preparation worth the effort. 92064 Question: How can community residents schedule fire inspec-

tions or visits to the facilities? Chief: We routinely give safety talks to groups of adults and youths in Poway. Just call our administrative assistant at 858-668-4466 and she will direct your request to the appropriate person. 92064 Question: Is there anything else our readers may want to know about the department? Chief: Each member of the Poway Fire Department recognizes the support and trust we are entrusted with from the community we serve. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work within such a special community as Poway. We will continue to provide the best customer service possible to each person we interact with. ¢

1994
The 1990s saw the color change in the Fire Department fleet. In 1994 the first red Pierce engine, ambulance, and staff SUV arrived. The rest of the fleet changed colors as the units ended their service life. The firefighter’s station uniforms changed to meet the new NFPA 1500 standards. The new NFPA-compliant Nomex uniforms were dark blue and offered another enhancement to firefighter safety.
1997
Both brush engines were replaced by BME brush engines.
1998
The department sought to enhance paramedic services by adding paramedics to the engine companies. Some of the former Poway firefighter/paramedics volunteered to recertify as paramedics to save the City hiring additional personnel. This move created a performance standard to deliver advanced life support within six minutes 90 percent of the time.
2001
The department increased staffing to add a second paramedic ambulance which worked out of an office off of Monte Vista Road.
2002
The old water tender was replaced by a Pierce 3000-gallon water tender.
2003
Staffing was increased to add a third engine, which was placed into service out of Station One. A trailer was moved onto the new Station Three construction site as temporary housing for the third engine and the second paramedic unit.

92064 Magazine
2005
Fire Station Three was completed and opened.
2006
The newly constructed state-of-the-art training tower that was built in the Poway Business Park became operational. The training tower was showcased during the 2007 Fire Expo in San Diego. Fire Departments from across the country have visited or inquired about the tower’s design to use as a blueprint for their future training facilities. This tower replaced a 16-yearold tower that was demolished to accommodate the City Hall expansion. The old training tower saw a lot of use over the years as it was also rented out to other fire agencies for use during their fire academies and pump testing.
2007
The department added a truck company without increasing staffing by taking the fourth person off each engine company. The department’s MDTs were replaced by Mobile Data Computers (MDCs). These new computers show other units on a real time map. The computer GIS map also has building footprints and addresses. The department’s fleet was renumbered and enhancements were added to the satellite tracking of the department fleet.
2008
A countywide preplan system went into use. In 2008 one of the BME brush engines was replaced with a four-wheeldrive Westmark brush engine, and the other is scheduled to be replaced in 2009. ¢

:::: COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
Volunteerism: A Natural Way of Life for Gruber
By LORI LUM
Special to 92064 Magazine
F
or Sharon Gruber, volunteering just comes naturally. Ever since her children started school, she has been a regular volunteer for a variety of local organizations. Even now that her children are in college, her spirit of giving continues; however, it all began by volunteering at her children’s schools. Gruber served on the PTSA and in various other capacities at Deer Canyon, Mesa Verde, and Westview schools. She later volunteered to sew costumes for the halftime performers of Super Bowl XXXII, which took place in San Diego and allowed her to meet such performers as Boyz II Men and Smokey Robinson. For over 20 years, she volunteered at her church, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal in Poway; and most recently, she has been active with the Poway Lions Club and the Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant. Her dedication is apparent, as is her love for her community. And with all her activities, Gruber throws herself into her work with a passion. “If there is something to be done, let’s get it done and hopefully have some fun and make some life memories in the process,” she said. Gruber, who grew up in Poway and attended San Diego State Organizations: Poway Lions club, Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant Purpose: Poway Lions funds charities related to eye care and health; Miss Poway Pageant provides scholarships, community service opportunities to local young women Contact Information: misspoway@gmail.com or Bmom2boys@gmail.com 36

Sharon Gruber 51 Crestmont, Rancho Penasquitos Poway Lions Club, Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant Family Information: Married, two sons Occupation: Sales Representative, Vanguard Industries
University, currently lives in Rancho Peñasquitos with her husband Mark. Their sons, Matthew, 21, and Philip, 19, attend college in San Diego. She said her family loves living in Inland North County because the area has family-oriented communities with great schools, parks, and shopping – and because it is centrally located so they can enjoy a variety of scenery from the mountains of Ramona to the beaches of Del Mar. It appears Gruber’s attraction to community service comes from family. Her mother would volunteer at her schools and the church, and her father was once a member of the City of Poway’s Volunteer Fire Department. She recalled that they were her first inspiration to serve. These days, as president of the Poway Lions Club and director of the Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant, Gruber keeps busy participating in local events such as the annual 4th of July Picnic at Old Poway Park, the Spring Street Fair, and the Pancake Breakfast at the Poway Lions Club. She is not only the director, but the event coordinator for the Miss Poway Scholarship Pageant, which means she works alongside the young women doing up to 200 hours of community service in San Diego communities each year. Gruber encouraged others to get involved as well, and invited anyone who might be interested to join the Poway Lions Club – or other local civic organizations. She said a consideration has always been, “How can I help someone else experience the same joy I experience by volunteering?” ¢

2011 Winners Just Selected, But Planning Under Way for Next Year’s 50th Anniversar y Competition
W
While the actual event earlier this year when Alyssa Soto was crowned Miss Poway and Jackie Foster won the Miss Poway Teen crown lasted only a couple of hours, the extensive planning and preparation required more than a year. Just ask Pageant Director Sharon Gruber, who has coordinated the event the past two years. “I started planning for next year’s pageant while finishing up the current one,” said Gruber, who is also the president of the Poway Lion’s Club (see related article on previous page). “Next year is our 50th anniversary year pageant, so of course it needs to be spectacular.” Eight contestants competed in the Miss Poway contest, including First Runner-up Kayla Snyder, Second Runner-up Emma Castor, and Third Runner-up Ginna Tornambe. Among the nine competitors for Miss Poway Teen were First Runner-up Ayla Cottrell, Second Runner-up Jillian Kernus, and Third Runner-up Vandana Bhairi. For these young women, the experience is only beginning. According to Gruber, the two winners and their princesses will spend 200-300 hours volunteering all over Poway and San Diego in the next 12 months. “We do all of the local civic events, the parade, the 4th of July, Trainsong Festival, Fire Department’s open house, and so on,” she said. “We also do many events for various other groups, such as the Rotary Club, the Kiwanis, the Lions and the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. And we help at galas for both the Palomar Pomerado Medical Centers and Radys

Children’s Hospital and much, much more.” Since she doubles as the event coordinator for the pageant, the activities also include Gruber. “I will spend the next year finding events for them to do, organizing their transportation, and volunteering with them,” she said. “It’s an amazing way to spend my time and I have enjoyed it for the last three years.” Gruber noted that many local organizations and businesses support the pageant, allowing for scholarships to be given to the winners and a professional, entertaining presentation each year. She also said it’s important for the contestants to truly enjoy and learn from the experience. “I really want the ladies – whether they win of not – to have an amazing eight weeks preparing for the pageant. And I want them to come away with a taste of community service,” Gruber said. “I also want them to understand how to write a biography and how to dress appropriately for an interview (each contestant has a personal interview with the judges the day of the pageant).” Gruber added that she believes the preparations leading up to the pageant helps the young women prepare for future college and job interviews. She welcomed potential contestants and sponsors to contact her at misspoway@gmail.com, or visit the website at www.misspoway.com. ¢

Stinky Car? Stale Cookies? Too Many Snails? Roses Lack Luster?
Try These Helpful
Home Hints!
C
onstantly bombarded with new treatments and products, many homeowners may be unaware of many great household tips that can make life a little easier – and maybe even save some money.
To assist 92064 Magazine readers, we have compiled some of our favorites to share: Stale food:
Are your cookies or donuts going stale? Here’s a surefire way to put the softness back into your favorite snack. Take one slice of bread and lay on top of the snack, seal in plastic storage container for 24 hours. The next day, your cookies will be soft, fresh and good as new. The bread will be hard as rock.
pieces that are down to the end of the wick and cemented into your holder will pop off with ease.
Odor relief:
Stinky car? Small closed room? Whiffy diaper pail? Take one cup of ground coffee (not brewed) and place on a paper plate in the stinky, confined areas for up to 12 hours. The coffee absorbs the smell and the area smells fresh and clean.
Chewing gum on carpeting:
Rub ice cubes on the soiled spot until the gum changes consistency and is hard and frozen. Once this happens, gum will crumble up for easy removal and not stain left behind.
Gardening challenges:
Are your roses lacking a little luster and zest? It could be they need some coffee! Roses love acid and coffee grounds are filled with acid and help the flowers thrive. So don’t toss those brewed coffee grounds; stir them into the top soil of your rose bushes once per week for stronger, healthier flowers.
Snails and slugs:
It can be a real challenge in 92064 to keep those pesky snails and slugs off your plants and out of your flower beds. Instead of reaching for harmful and toxic chemicals, fight back with a more gentle solution. Take your favorite liquid laundry detergent and pour a small stream around the border of your flower beds or plants. It will ward off the snails and slugs, and the smell is not unpleasant for you.
Candle wax removal:
92064 Magazine
Remember if the issue is external, county or city vector control may be able to assist. But if you want to keep them out of your garage, lanai or patio area a great solution is moth balls, which will drive mice and rats away. Place a small amount in plastic cups or tie them in an old sock and place near openings of exposed areas. Another handy trick is to place steel wool on the corners of where your garage meets the ground. Works like a charm! The wool is too tough for the mice to dig through.
Food fixes:
How many times has the candle wax melted all over your favorite dish or candle holder? This simple solution is right in your kitchen. Place the entire dish, candle holder or whatever has candle wax in/or on it – into your freezer. Wait three hours and remove. Take a butter knife or your fingernail and “pop” off the wax. Even bottom 38
Mice and rodent issues:
Need a quick substitution for a recipe? Such as when you reach for buttermilk and don’t have buttermilk? A tablespoon of white vinegar to one cup of whole milk replicates the flavor of buttermilk and your recipe will come out as if you used the real thing. Special thanks to Susanne Munsell of Indian Wells, CA for expertise and assistance in preparing this list.

Points or No Points?
What Loan is Best For You? Below are a Few Pointers. No Point/No Fee Loans
Loans with Closing Costs
Benefits: The main benefit to a No Point/No Fee loan is that you have no out-of-pocket costs. As a result, if the rates drop in the future, you could refinance again without the need to take closing costs into consideration.
Benefits: The main benefit to paying closing costs and/or origination fees is that your rate is typically lower than a No Point/No Fee loan. You will end up saving a substantial amount of interest paid over time.
Disadvantages: The main disadvantage to a No Point/No Fee loan is that they are typically higher rates than loans with closing costs and/or origination fees. If you intend to keep the loan for a long period of time, you will end up paying more interests in the long run due to the higher rates.
Disadvantages: The primary disadvantage to obtaining a loan with closing costs and/or origination fees is the fact that it costs you more initially to obtain the loan. You must do a “break-even” analysis to determine whether or not the upfront fees outway the long-term savings.
