Finding
Her Niche Elizabeth Carruthers Excels at School and in the Saddle by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

etween riding horses and maintaining a 4.0 GPA, you can expect to find Elizabeth Carruthers in one of two places when she is not at home. A San Elijo Hills resident all her life, Elizabeth prioritizes her time as a student at San Elijo Middle School and an equestrian at Pathfinder Farm in San Marcos. At school, Elizabeth is earning her perfect GPA in Advanced Placement classes. “This fact is especially pleasing to me because I have always struggled in the subject of math,” Elizabeth said. “I have now managed to bring that grade up to an A as well.” She credits her teacher, Miss Schmid, for the improvement. “She is always willing to give her students extra help when they need it,” Elizabeth acknowledged. “It is because of her that I am actually really growing to enjoy math.” With her 4.0

GPA, it may not be all that surprising that Elizabeth considers herself a perfectionist. “It really bums me out when I don’t do things well.” Outside of the classroom, Elizabeth explained, “I am sure that I have loved horses since the day I was born.” Starting at the age of seven, when she finally talked her mom into it, she began riding lessons. “The most rewarding part of horseback riding is when you have been struggling with a certain skill, and then you are finally able to translate it to your horse in a way that is understood,” she shared. As for potentially growing out of this “horse phase” as her mom expected, Elizabeth does not predict this to happen any time in the near future. She described her favorite memory on horseback as the time she learned to trot. “I remember the feeling of freedom and pure joy. I never wanted it to end,” she said. Elizabeth’s inspiration to continue working hard and aiming high come from both her horse family – Pathfinder Farm trainer Patty Morton and rider Alycia Burton – and her own family – mom, dad, grandma, and aunt. “I am inspired by a lot of people for various reasons,” she said. Elizabeth’s future plans include earning good grades and attending college at Cal Poly.

MEDICAL GROUP PROFILE
GRAYBILL
MEDICAL GROUP
Providing San Marcos Residents With Top-Notch Family Medicine Services
by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos provided by Graybill Medical Group
G
raybill Medical Group, North County’s largest independent multi-specialty medical group and a member of the award-winning Sharp Community Medical Group, is likely located just around the corner from where you live or work. With 14 offices in the area, including San Marcos, Escondido, Oceanside, Tri-City, Sabre Springs, Ramona, Valley Center, Fallbrook, and Temecula, the practice has over 80 physicians and practitioners ranging from primary care and specialty care to urgent care and radiology. Graybill Medical Group was founded in 1932 by Dr. Martin Graybill, a family physician located in Escondido. “At the time, Escondido was a small town of 3,500 people,” recalled Dr. Isela Penunuri, M.D., lead physician for Graybill Medical Group, San Marcos office. “The original practice was located on the second floor of what was then Escondido Hospital. Today we’re North County’s largest independent multispecialty medical group.” If that fact alone doesn’t make the practice stand out, perhaps, this will: “One of the most unique aspects of Graybill is our longevity,” stated Dr. Penunuri. “Many of our doctors have patients who were delivered by Dr. Graybill and many families have been with us for several generations. We’re often
told that, despite our size, we still have that friendly, small-town corporate culture that has characterized us for over 80 years.” Perhaps this is a reason that Graybill Medical Group, as the largest member of the Sharp Community Medical Group Independent Practice Association, has been awarded San Diego’s Best Medical Group, CAPG Standards of Excellence Award, and Integrated Healthcare Association Excellence in Healthcare. “To earn the IHA Award, physician organizations must rank in the top 50 percent for clinical quality, patient experience, and cost performance,” elaborated Dr. Penunuri. “Winners have to demonstrate strong quality and patient experience results while effectively managing costs.” Graybill Medical Group’s San Marcos office has three board certified family physicians and two certified physician assistants. Between all the medical team members, the patients can converse with their doctor in English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Mandarin. Dr. Penunuri, the lead physician for Graybill’s San Marcos office, earned her medical degree from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara Medical School in Mexico and served her internship at New York Medical College. She served her family medicine residency at the University of Wisconsin,
Eau Claire, where she was Chief Resident. Dr. Oksana Hirniak, D.O., is a board certified osteopathic physician, who, prior to her joining the Graybill Medical Group, provided care to active duty military and their family members at Miramar Air Station. Dr. Cheng (Oliver) Lee, M.D. is a board certified family medicine physician who completed his residency at Adventist Medical Center. “He is very involved in community service,” said Dr. Penunuri, “and currently provides sports physicals at San Marcos and Mission Hills high schools.” On that note, Graybill Medical Group makes a big effort to stay involved with the community. “We regularly attend community health events throughout the year, where we offer free blood pressure screenings,” shared Dr. Penunuri. “We also regularly hold free weight management support groups, classes on diabetes management, and Medicare 101.”

yan and Tiffany Stangl moved to Sea Vista Colony, across from Lake San Marcos and San Marcos High School, seven years ago. Their three-year old son Rhys attends Stars Montessori in Vista. “We noticed a lot of growth in Rhys just being around other children his age,” said Ryan. “While it seems that Rhys is interested in everything, and we just can’t keep up, his latest adventure is that he is learning to swim.” Ryan’s 21-year-old stepdaughter, Cheyenne, just moved to Philadelphia, where she’ll pursue her passion in poetry and spoken word. Ryan works with Realty ONE Group in Carlsbad. He elaborated, “Being in real estate takes a lot of hustle and hard work and I wanted to focus that hard work in my local area.” Tiffany oversees the dispensation of hearing aids with Hear USA, where she runs her own office from Oceanside, in the Top 20 of nationwide offices. They met in Orange County. Tiffany was then living in Encinitas, and Ryan was visiting his family when he lived then in Seattle. “I spent a lot of time visiting Tiffany, so when an opportunity came to move down I jumped on it,” said Ryan.

Coastal Cleanup Day photo by Mayela Padilla
I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) will lead the 32nd Annual Coastal Cleanup Day as part of the International Coastal Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The community is invited to participate locally by choosing from 108 sites where more than 8,000 San Diegobased volunteers will work alongside a half million volunteers worldwide.

While litter removal is a large focus of the event, volunteers will also participate in beautification projects such as graffiti removal and replacing invasive species with drought-tolerant landscaping. ILACSD is San Diego’s most influential advocate for sustainability, awakening passion, and inspiring action to create a lasting, positive impact on the local environment.

MATH MAKE SENSE Catch Up, Keep Up, and Get Ahead in Math at Mathnasium by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
F
or many students, math can be confusing and intimidating. For others, math can come easily and advancement may be desired. Mathnasium, a math learning center, now has two Carlsbad locations. Its La Costa center is located in the beautiful La Costa Town Square and its newest center, which opened in September, is by Sprouts on El Camino Real. Both locations cater to students of all learning levels in grades 1 through 12. With the mantra “We Make Math Make Sense,” Mathnasium specializes in teaching math to kids in a way that makes it understandable to them. “Our goal is to get kids to not only do the ‘how,’ but get the ‘why,’” said Owner and Director Karen Lossing. “If easier problems make sense, the harder ones become less hard. When you build on a solid foundation, you set yourself up for future success.”
So what exactly sets Mathnasium apart from other tutoring services? “At Mathnasium we focus on math only,” explained Lossing. “We custom-tailor a program to each student so they are focused on the skills they can
24 • 92078MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2016
build from. Our depth of resources allows us to move backward or forward within concepts to meet the student where he/ she performs successfully and move him/ her forward from there. Because of our amazing system we can find the lessons that perfectly align with a student whether they are seeking enrichment or struggle in class.” The energy at Mathnasium is positive, with a diverse staff including engineers, statisticians, college students, and math educators. “They do a great job of connecting what a student is learning to the real world,” Lossing said of her staff. “Our instructors are clear communicators and friendly people. Between their approachability, knowledge base, and a focused learning plan identifying skills to master, the kids are more engaged because every lesson is relevant.” SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT
While the room is filled with students of all abilities, Mathnasium offers three main methods to spotlight areas holding back a student’s success, which have proven to be life changing for many kids: Numeric Fluency, AlgebraReadiness, and High School Essentials. “Numeric Fluency has worked wonders with upper elementary students who weren’t fluent with calculating basic addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts,” said Lossing. “A huge burden is lifted for those kids and they can move on to more challenging problem solving.” In math, one concept tends to spill over to others, or problem solving begins to bundle multiple skills at a time. Mathnasium believes that building a strong mathematical toolbox complete with critical thinking is essential to success. Algebra-Readiness is a program developed for elementary and middle school students in anticipation of increasing proficiency
AT-A-GLANCE
in skills needed for success in high school courses beginning with algebra. “Not being algebra-ready can set a brutal math path for a student’s secondary education, so I am especially proud of preparing those kids for their future,” shared Lossing. Mathnasium also has an emphasis on providing targeted support for busy high schoolers. “While we focus on specific courses, such as Integrated Math or Algebra
2, there are foundational skills that many teenagers lack. Our High School Skills Assessment allows us to streamline instruction on many gap skills that cost students better grades. These critical skills spill over from course to course but can be roadblocks to many if not mastered,” said Lossing. Mathnasium also budgets time for schoolwork, allowing students to get help with homework or preparation for upcoming tests and quizzes. The center offers a risk-free assessment to interested students. “Students and parents can see the current level of mastery across concepts relative to a student’s grade level,” stated Lossing. “From there we build a customized learning plan that addresses any gaps initially, then move on toward advanced concepts. We set realistic expectations with the parents when discussing the assessment and give the kids their first lesson free.”

WHAT COMMUNITIES DOES THE SAN MARCOS CHAMBER SERVE? The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce serves the City of San Marcos, Lake San Marcos, unincorporated San Diego County areas, North County, and San Diego communities. Any business may choose to join one or more chambers of commerce depending upon the areas they wish to reach. WHAT SERVICES DOES THE CHAMBER PROVIDE TO MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY? The chamber website provides free digital business profiles for over 4,000 businesses licensed within the City of San Marcos. The listing includes the business’ name, address, phone number, and SIC category listed on the City of San Marcos business license. This listing permits the chamber website to function as a business directory for the general public. Listings display both on the chamber website and in search engine results. The website’s analytic code shows that searches for business information originate locally, nationally, and internationally. When we receive business referral requests, we provide chamber business member information via email or phone. To ensure each member business surfaces in the desired category and with the appropriate products or services, each business should login to the member’s only resource center to maximize their digital listing with custom content. You can upload or link to press releases, photographs, video, social media links, additional contact information, and reviews. Members can also display business cards and flyers at the chamber office. Local news publications and business literature is available at no charge to the general public. Walk-ins may include local residents and businesses,
28 • 92078MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2016
as well as residents and businesses looking for information before visiting or moving to the area. The chamber also mails packets of information out of the area for a processing fee. Businesses join because they understand and fully appreciate the strong SEO value a chamber of commerce earns from search engines such as Google and Bing, due to search engines acknowledging a chamber’s expertise in local business verification. The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Google to leverage this opportunity, which is another reason the chamber strongly encourages members to fully fill out their chamber website profiles. WHAT NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CHAMBER? Existing and prospective members can build relationships by attending networking opportunities to share ideas, tips, and referrals. The more people know about your business, the more business you are likely to do! The chamber has several new networking opportunities which have been well received by members. These networking opportunities are all open to members and nonmembers, with members receiving a discounted price or attending free. Coffee Connections is held at the chamber office on the second Thursday of each month; Out-toLunch has an educational speaker and networking luncheon on the third Wednesday of each month and an educational breakfast once each quarter; and we also have a business information gathering addressing reasons to join a chamber. These new connection opportunities for members are in addition to the regular chamber monthly mixers and committee meetings. HOW DID YOU PERSONALLY BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE CHAMBER? As an in-demand sales manager with a stellar reputation in the media industry for meeting and exceeding revenue and expense budgets while building high-functioning sales teams, and with well over 10 years of experience as an independent consultant traveling nationwide while running my own company, I was interested in exploring new opportunities.

In addition to keeping the chamber office running smoothly and being the first friendly face and voice greeting callers and visitors to the chamber office, Tiffany coordinates and manages front and back-end database input for membership set-up and performs database accounting functions. She oversees or assists in all administration functions for events, oversees equipment maintenance, and performs cost comparisons for vendor services.
Director of Membership Joy Buckels
Joy contacts businesses, nonprofits and governmental agencies to share with them the many benefits of belonging to the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. She is responsible for retention, building relationships with the members, and making sure they are taking full advantage of their benefits.
Director of Events Melanie Jamil
Melanie develops and oversees special event details including: event budgets, sponsorship packages, marketing promotion materials (such as flyers, banner ads, and social media profile headers), as well as preliminary, onsite, and post-production event management. Melanie is experienced in sales, marketing, operations, budget control, project management, and business development.
Directors with whom I had previously worked, reached out to me to say she’d been contacted and asked to inquire if I might be interested in the chamber’s open president/CEO position. The job description seemed to be a perfect match for my skill set. Ultimately I received a job offer, starting work with the chamber on July 21, 2014.
Since I walked in the door, the role has required an intense level of strategic planning and implementation. Initially, with just me and one other full-time staff member, the job was one of learning and manning nearly every aspect of operations. Due to office administration requirements, staffing limitations, and skill sets, meeting with visitors in the office, local VIPs, businesses, and government officials was more limited. Having such a direct view of daily operation let me identify areas of need and create a plan to address highest priorities first. At the same time, I was researching programs, procedures, products, and platforms we needed to create, launch, or update. The chamber board of director’s chair and I spoke daily, and the executive board changed their monthly meeting to every other week in order to authorize needed approvals.

By April 2015, I had designed and launched our new mobile-optimized website, just in time for Google’s new mobile optimization requirements. We’re now able to largely self-manage the website in the office. At the same time, the upgrade gave members direct access to the member’s only area and business profiles. Our only active social media presence was on Facebook, so I began claiming and reclaiming our social media accounts. Some, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Foursquare, had been inactive since 2012. I also set up new accounts on Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and YouTube. Our Facebook page has more than doubled in follows from over 500 to over 1,200; Twitter and LinkedIn follows have also doubled. Changing the format for the chamber’s weekly e-Newsletter has been well received, with the subscriber list growing tenfold to over 4,000. The newsletter promotes new chamber programs, recognizes individual businesses, and announces events. Day-to-day, I serve as webmaster and IT manager. In my off-time, I’ve taken a number of classes to permit me to manage those areas, as well as others in the digital realm in which I have long-term, high-level experience.

WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE ORGANIZATION’S MOST MEMORABLE EVENTS OVER THE YEARS? Historically the chamber has had a number of memorable events which have often been touted by long-time community residents and business members. These include a Chili Cook-off and a Renaissance Faire, both held in the early ‘90s. More recently, the chamber’s Grand Spring Festival will celebrate its 25th year in 2017, and the Grand Fall Festival has a 20-plus year run. These events are the two most requested events in the past two years. The Grand Fall Festival was last held in 2013. Now, it’s back by popular demand on Sunday, Oct. 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Via Vera Cruz. See our website for more information! ARE THERE ANY OTHER EXCITING NEW PROJECTS COMING UP SOON? Yes, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce and the City of San Marcos are exploring the idea of co-hosting a business walk, where we would visit local businesses to gather information. The information would be used to formulate strategies for growth of both current and future business programs.

Waste-Free Living
LOCAL MOM’S BLOG PROMOTES COMPOSTING
I
n 2010, Rebekah Whelpley’s mother-in-law delivered and installed a composter, then taught her the simplicity of “dump and run” composting. She was hooked ever since. And while Rebekah says she does not have a natural green thumb, she is still able to reduce landfill waste in creative ways. She even started her own blog, Savvy Composting, to help others learn how to reduce their household waste through composting, recycling, rainwater harvesting, gardening, and reusing. Her goal is to make composting simple and accessible, while introducing others to new ways to reduce waste. With a new school year underway, Rebekah offers tips on how to reduce waste from children’s school lunches. Instead of choosing convenient but often unhealthy pre-packaged food for lunches, Rebekah suggests a reusable bento box-type food container.
Not only does this reduce the amount of plastic going into landfills, it also allows parents to choose healthier foods for their children. “You will quickly find that you’re providing your child with a more nutritious lunch that is colored by nature and offers a variety of foods that the body thrives on,” she said. Rebekah also stresses the importance of breaking the plastic water bottle and juice box habit, because while plastic bottles are recyclable, 38 billion of them end up in landfills each year. A reusable thermos solves this problem. Although zerowaste lunches might seem like a daunting switch to take on during the busy school season, Rebekah insists it will be worth it. “You will find yourself looking for the newest and greatest products that meet your family’s needs.” To learn more about ways to reduce your household waste visit www.savvycomposting.com.

A CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION Be Part of the Pride by Celebrating the San Diego Zoo's 100th Year by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
W
aterfalls cascading over rocks into pools below, the sun peeking through thick foliage, faint sounds of birds chirping and monkeys laughing in the distance... It's easy to forget for a moment that you're not actually strolling through the jungle! And that is the beauty of the worldfamous San Diego Zoo: it connects people closely with animals in the most natural way possible. The San Diego Zoo, operated by San Diego Zoo Global, has been a pioneer in the zoological sphere since its inception in 1916, from being among the first in the world to build innovative open-air grotto exhibits to making key contributions to medical research, natural science, and wildlife conservation. This year the zoo celebrates its centennial anniversary – 100 years of trials and triumphs, fun memories, and, of course, lots of fascinating animals! With over 3,500 rare and endangered animals, more than 650 species and subspecies, and over 700,000 exotic plants living on the 100-acre property, the zoo is dedicated to preserving wildlife as one of the world's leading global conservation organizations. Some have even referred to the zoo as a living outdoor classroom, educating children and adults alike about the natural world. So for the remainder of the year, join us in celebrating the extraordinary people and animals who have made this beloved San Diego icon what it is today.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
BRUCE WALTERS ADMINISTERS FOR THE SAN MARCOS SENIOR VOLUNTEER PATROL by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography
B
ruce Walters has lived in North County since 1980, and he now resides near Twin Oaks Golf Course. “Watching San Marcos grow into the jewel of North County has been both a delight and a bit nostalgic,” he said, “because it has always been a beautiful small city.” He retired 10 years ago from a career in computers that started back in 1966. After a couple of years as a retiree, Bruce felt like he needed to do something for his community. With many friends and family in law enforcement, he looked into a program called the Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP), and liked what he saw. The SVP has male and female volunteers age 50 and up who support San Marcos and surrounding areas, rendering services like vacation checks or YANA visits for elderly homebound seniors. Patrollers also work at special events like 4th of July fireworks, the San Marcos Street Fair, or National Night Out, and spend a small percentage of time helping with parking enforcement. “The majority of our time goes toward helping the city and the Sheriff’s Department with crime prevention,” Bruce explained. “We patrol the entire city and outlying areas, being the eyes and ears of the department.” By also handling many seemingly mundane tasks, like vehicle transport and delivering documents to the courthouse, “We keep deputies free to handle law enforcement activity.” Currently, Bruce is administrator for the San Marcos SVP, managing about 50 volunteers. He coordinates activities between volunteers and command staff, as well as between volunteers and the city. “I don’t believe you manage volunteers the same way you manage paid employees,” he said. “My role is to coach, guide, and direct the volunteers.” He understands they are here because they want to serve the community, so he wants them to have the tools and training to be effective. “The most rewarding part of the job is watching the volunteers step up to seemingly impossible challenges.” Bruce is presently reshaping SMSVP to better support efforts at reducing crime in the area. When he’s not volunteering, Bruce enjoys spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren, all of whom live in the general area, eating out in the “fantastic restaurants in every corner” of his San Marcos community, and searching yard sales for another radio from the ‘20s, ‘30s or ‘40s to restore and add to his collection: he has over 100 antique radios!

Home Run for Chelsea
ANNUAL TOURNAMENT UNITES THE COMMUNITY
C
helsea’s Light Foundation will host its annual three-day baseball tournament, Home Run for Chelsea, at Mission Sports Park in San Marcos from Sept. 23 to 25. Starting as a grassroots outpouring of support for Chelsea’s Light, the Home Run for Chelsea tournament has grown into a unique, fun-filled charitable event that celebrates a love for baseball and the community’s shared commitment to making positive changes for youth in local neighborhoods. Participating teams can register for elite, competitive, or recreational divisions depending on skill level. There will also be challenger games. Games will be six innings or no new innings after one hour and 45 minutes. The registration deadline is Sept. 16; register early to ensure your team’s place. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the event will benefit Chelsea’s Light; the tournament raised over $20,000 last year. Snack bar and merchandise sales will also benefit the foundation, with support from San Marcos Youth Baseball. An avid cross country runner and a gifted student and musician with a zeal for life, 17-year-old Chelsea King was on her way to realizing her dreams. On February 25, 2010, she went on a run after school and fell victim to a convicted sex offender who later pled guilty to taking
her life. Today, Chelsea’s Light Foundation is proof that Chelsea’s contagious optimism and indomitable spirit never fades. Chelsea’s Light strives to unite and set free the power of engaged communities, protecting the innocence and joy of childhood, and inspiring positive change in the community.

Community and Schools Matter to Buyers W
ith our summer coming to an end and schools starting around the county it has us wondering: How important are schools and the community involvement when looking to purchase a home? According to CAR, 78% of potential home buyers who plan to buy within the next five years care about the community they plan to become a part of. Once they become part of the community they plan to do more to help the community. There is a vested interest. Also, 76% of current home owners feel a deeper sense of community where they are currently living. So, community matters! When it comes to schools, more than 75% of parents say their child’s education is an important part of the search for a home. And 53% of those buyers will buy a new home in a specific neighborhood to get their child into a better school, according to CAR. It also looks as though the ranking of the school is more important than the proximity to the school. More than 25% of those parents will make the move during the school breaks. We would suggest that potential buyers do their homework before deciding where they want to live. Check

The Legacy
SAN MARCOS FILMMAKER TO SCREEN DOCUMENTARY AT GI FILM FESTIVAL
T
wo filmmakers from San Diego will be screening their documentary film USS Indianapolis: The Legacy at the GI Film Festival San Diego to be held from Sept. 14 to 18. Sara Vladic attended Rancho Bernardo High School, graduated from Pepperdine University, and currently lives in San Marcos. Melanie Capacia Johnson attended Mt. Carmel High School, graduated from SDSU, and currently lives in Oceanside. When Sara was 13, she Sara Vladic heard about the tragedy of the USS Indianapolis, a U.S. Navy ship that was struck by two torpedoes in WWII. Of the 1,196 men aboard, about 900 made it into the water, where they faced exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks. By the time help arrived almost five days later, only 317 survived. After graduating from Pepperdine, Sara contacted a survivor’s group who invited her to their reunions. When Sara began conducting
interviews in 2005, there were about 100 survivors. There are now only 23, ranging in age from 89 to 94. Sara and Melanie grew very close to the men over time. Sara decided to use the interview footage they collected over the last 10 years to allow the survivors to tell their story in their own words. At the 71st Annual USS Indianapolis Survivors Reunion in July, Sara was made an Honorary Survivor, and the finished film was shown to the Melanie Capacia Johnson remaining survivors and their families. “The reception was overwhelmingly fantastic, and there’s nothing like hearing the words from the survivors that ‘we got it right’ and they’re ‘so proud of us for telling their true story,’ ” Sara said. “It was the icing on the cake for this project that we already felt honored just to be part of.” For tickets and more information visit www.gifilmfestivalsd.org.
