About Last Night

T

Derrick Breaux Publisher

here’s nothing quite like a good party. It is often the end result of a lot of work and preparation. The reward. A gathering of friends, business associates, family, coworkers – many people coming together that share something in common.

As I write this issue’s note, I find myself with a little extra hop in my step and a smile on my face. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that today is a Friday – and the end of a long and productive week. But what’s really on my mind is last night’s ZCode Magazines’ epic party!

With the launch of our eleventh publication, 08/10 Magazine, covering the North Carlsbad zip codes of 92008 and 92010, we decided to make the official announcement with a grand celebration – ZCode style. And we felt that the iconic Carlsbad Flower Fields was the perfect venue – the Paul Ecke Jr. Family Barn made for a very cool setting.

So why was last night’s party so great? Was it the fact that we were blessed to have over 300 guests ranging from local business owners, politicians, and school officials to friends and family members of the ZCode team? You bet it was!

Last night was not only a night to celebrate the launch of 08/10 Magazine, but it was a celebration of community in general. You see, it is my belief that most of the people that live in North San Diego County live here by choice and not necessity. The vast majority of our neighbors are proud to live in their community. In fact, they love living in their community. It is this bond that makes everything work. It is this bond that makes each of the unique communities of North County so special.

I am surrounded by an incredible group of people that make up the ZCode Team. Day in and day out they are in the office busting their butts and working hard to create magazines that we hope people want to read.

Everyone has a unique part of the puzzle. It was an amazing experience to see our team mingling and socializing with many of the people that have either been featured in one of the ZCode Magazines or people that are loyal readers of the magazines. Having the ability for the team to connect faces with names, laugh and socialize make it all worth it.

There are many moving parts to publishing hyper-local community magazines. First and foremost, it takes the vision, determination, and desire to produce a great product. For that, I would like to give a heartfelt “thank you” to the ZCode crew. Of equal importance is the loyalty of the local residents and advertisers – both of which ZCode Magazines would not exist without. We all need to thank them.

So last night we celebrated. We celebrated you. We celebrated community. We celebrated family, friends, and coworkers. We celebrated being the best that we all can be. We celebrated an incredible journey that I like to call PASSION. I want to thank you for being a loyal reader. And thanks for supporting ZCode Magazines and supporting the advertisers that are responsible for delivering this magazine to your mailboxes.

DANCING HEART MEET ALYSSA

SIXTH GRADER ALYSSA CIEMIEWICZ FINDS HER PASSION IN DANCE

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Siblings: Favorite Places in 92129:

Alyssa Ciemiewicz (12) Oak Valley Middle School 6 Sean and Erin Ciemiewicz Cameron (18), Connor (15) Hilltop Park, Golden Spoon, Peñasquitos Lutheran Church

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

“I

first discovered dance when I was walking past a dance studio when my mom and I were out shopping.

I looked in the window and asked my mom over and over again if I could dance. She said yes, and I haven’t left the dance floor since,” related Alyssa Ciemiewicz. This fateful shopping trip occurred when Alyssa was 2 ½ years old, and the now 12-year-old is an accomplished dancer, winning many dance competition titles and starring as Clara in her dance studio’s production of The Nutcracker.

Alyssa practices a variety of dance styles including jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary and acrobatics. Her dance instructor, Jenny Glenn, of Signature Dance Academy is Alyssa’s inspiration. “Miss Jenny pushes me to be the best I can be even when it’s hard or frustrating. She believes in me and makes me feel good about myself,” said Alyssa.

Alyssa is in 6 th grade at Oak Valley Middle School and lives in 92129. “I like living in Rancho Peñasquitos because it is a community with lots of families with kids my age. There are also many activities that I can do that are close to my house,” explained Alyssa. While at school,

12 • 92129Magazine.com • June | July 2014

Alyssa especially enjoys math and social studies, both of which satisfy her desire to work with numbers and learn more about what life was in the past.

When she’s not dancing, Alyssa loves participating in Girl Scouts, sewing and baking. “I really love to cook with my grandma, and I go to sewing camps during the summer and practice in my free time. I also love going to special Girl Scout camps with my troop,” stated Alyssa. She and her troop are committed to giving back to the community and often make the trip to the First Presbyterian Church in downtown San Diego to help serve the homeless.

In looking to the future, Alyssa sees dance as playing a large role. “I dream of one day performing as a Rockette at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I am also interested in being a dance teacher and introducing young children to the wonderful world of dance,” revealed Alyssa. She is also considering following in her mother’s footsteps and becoming a kindergarten teacher. No matter what path Alyssa chooses to follow, it is a sure bet that with her hard work, determination and talent, she will make her dreams come true. ¢

ere at ZCode Media, our employees are like our family, and our magazines and readers are like family too. Carlsbad’s family of publications, including 92009 and 92011 Magazines, is now complete with the introduction of 08/10 Magazine. This past April, ZCode Media held a launch party for the new magazine at the Paul Ecke Jr. Family Barn amidst the picturesque Carlsbad Flower Fields. With the flowers in full bloom and the guests in full smiles, it was a night to remember.

The packed house enjoyed delicious food, scrumptious desserts, and hot-ticket raffle items with over $14,000 in prizes. All $1,060 raised from the raffle went to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. The night concluded with a few words from our co-owners, ZCode Media Publisher Derrick Breaux and Creative Director Tyler McElhaney, who premiered a riveting video on our newest addition to the ZCode bunch. Join us in welcoming our newest magazine to the family, 08/10 Magazine. 

What’s New in

PQ?

by MICHELLE O’CONNOR-RATCLIFF Special to 92129 Magazine

And that’s a wrap! The 19th annual Fiesta de los Peñasquitos is officially in the books! We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors, our vendors, a lot of volunteers, and you. Countless Fiesta success stories made it difficult to pick which to highlight, but here are three:

PQ5K Approximately 700 participants ran, walked, jogged, rode, and skipped their way to a fabulous free pancake breakfast at the finish line of the PQ5K. Over seventy-five volunteers helped make it possible this year, manning the starting line, water station, crosswalks, finish line, and food stations. Thank you to the Peñasquitos California Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for co-hosting the event.

SCHOOL SPIRIT BOOTH At the first ever School Spirit Booth, our community donated $1,251 to our twelve PQ schools! That breaks down to $633 in purchased tickets, $118 in tickets donated by the Town Council to ticket purchasers wearing school logo apparel, and another $500 from the Town Council for the grand prize winner (the school ending the day with the most tickets as a ratio of its student population). Sunset Hills took that honor this year. We hope to do it bigger and better next year.

Our schools deserve it.

PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST This year’s photos are absolutely gorgeous and really capture the spirit of our town. Hot air balloons, the PQ Canyon Preserve, families, Black Mountain, the library, backyard wildlife, and pets are all represented. Go see them on display at the PQ library through the end of June.

So what else happened? You can find information on our eleven Youth Community Service Award winners, our Business and Volunteer of the Year, the Town Council election results, photos from the day, and much more on our website. Your PQ Town Council is beginning a new fiscal year, full of fresh ideas and raring to go. With your help, we’ll make next year’s 20th Fiesta the best ever! 

FUNDRAISING FUN! Owen Conner Raises Money for the No Kid Hungry Charity

by LINDA FRABL | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

W

hen most children decide to sell something in their front yard (via a lemonade stand, bake sale, etc.), they hope to earn money to buy the latest cool gadget or article of clothing for themselves. Owen Conner, a 10-year-old 4 th grader at Deer Canyon Elementary, had a different vision. He wanted to raise money so that no kids will go hungry in the United States.

Owen got the idea after seeing his schoolmates raise money for other charities, so he figured, “I thought it would be something good to try to do on my own.” The company his mom works for, Roth Staffing Company, contributes to the No Kid Hungry charity called Purpose:full (www.purposefull.com), so Owen also wanted to raise funds for the same worthy cause.

With his mom helping him bake and prepare cookies, brownies and even chocolate-covered pretzels, and his dad boiling the water for hot chocolate, Owen was ready for business while manning a table in his own driveway. Owen recalled, “It was fun to see people excited about donating money to the No Kid Hungry charity. I have always wanted to help others, and I liked seeing other people wanting to help too.”

In total, Owen raised $86.70 that day over his winter break, and as a result he received the Roth Staffing Hero Award earlier this year. Owen proudly admitted, “The Name: School: Grade: Parents’ Names: Sibling: Favorite Places in 92129:

money I earned purchased over 800 meals for kids in the United States. I really think it would be hard to go to school without food for breakfast and lunch. School is hard, and it would be even harder without proper food.”

A PQ resident all his life, Owen is passionate about surfing, body boarding and building cool Lego creations. He also holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and wants to hopefully run the L.A. Marathon next year with his dad. Owen added, “My parents inspire me. They are fun, and they encourage me to do many new and different things.”

“I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HELP OTHERS, AND I LIKED SEEING OTHER PEOPLE WANTING TO HELP TOO.” At school, Owen enjoys social studies, geography and history.

In the future, Owen would like to get a job in either law enforcement or the military, but he’s open to making a living through martial arts or even sports. Whatever road he embarks on, Owen will succeed because of his charitable thoughtfulness. ¢

All-Stars in Education PUSD HONORS TWO TEACHERS IN 92129

The

Poway Unified School District (PUSD) announced the three recipients for their Teacher of the Year award, two of them here in 92129: Mike Bird from Mt. Carmel High School (MCHS) and Crystal Ochoa of Sunset Hills Elementary School (SHES).

After twenty-five years in teaching, Mike Bird felt his greatest accomplishments in education came in the form of notes written by students reflecting on his “kindness, respect, and big heart.” Mike stated, “If my students leave my classroom at the end of the year with a greater appreciation of the world around them and how it works, I feel that I have fulfilled my purpose as an educator.”

In his geoscience and physics classroom at MCHS, Mike encourages his students to “discover” answers by thinking through problems, trial and error, questioning, and spending time in research and collaboration. In addition, Mike has coached boys and girls volleyball at the middle, high school, and club volleyball levels for twenty-five years with several of his former players going on to play in college, compete in the Olympics, and become coaches themselves.

Crystal Ochoa described her long-ago dream of becoming a lawyer as wanting to be “a voice for the voiceless.” Crystal’s dreams changed in high school when she met a hearing-impaired student and began volunteering in the Life Skills classroom on her campus.

When Crystal arrived at SHES fifteen years ago, she was tasked with educating staff, students, and parents about what a successful

resource program can and should be. “My open door classroom policy lends itself to establishing trust and effective lines of communication with both parents and teachers,” she explained. “I also lead training sessions with the instructional assistants in how to best meet the needs of our special education students.”

Recognizing that some special education students weren’t receiving Common Core-aligned math instruction, Crystal compiled relevant materials and created resource binders for special education teachers. She also lead CHAMPS instruction (a positive behavior and interventions support system) for interested teachers at her site. 

his year marked the 19th Annual Fiesta de los Peñasquitos in the 92129 community. According to PQ Fiesta 2014 Chair Jerry Bouck, it was estimated that between 15,000 to 20,000 people attended the street fair this year. Vendors, cuisine trucks, and booths catered to the crowds, and the three stages hosted a slew of impressive acts such as the bands Open for Business and Buddha Trixie (whom you may remember from the pages of 92129 Magazine), RoseRitchie Academy of Irish Dance, the Westview High School choir, Three Treasures Arts & Cultural Society, and much more. Community awards were handed out throughout the Fiesta, including PERC for Organization of the Year Award, and the late Julie Leonard as the Volunteer of the Year.

Eleven students from elementary through high school were honored with Community Service Awards. 

hile vacationing at their mountain cabin, the Prescott family was surprised by bears seeking food. “We constructed a warning alarm by rigging up soda cans tied between chairs,” shared Michele Prescott. They heard the “alarm” several times before the curious animals wandered elsewhere.

“Bearing” in mind their ingenuity, Toby and Michele Prescott met when they worked for an engineering company in 1979. Toby is a USC graduate with two advanced degrees in Engineering Communication Sciences, and currently works at Northrop Grumman on the unmanned air vehicle program. His hobbies include woodworking and playing basketball. Michele is an SDSU graduate with a BS in Business Management. Prior to children, she was an aerospace company program manager. She’s been to Paris seven times and loves to cook.

Married thirty years, the Prescotts have two children, Emma and Andrew, along with their puppy named Oreo. “We moved to Rancho Peñasquitos because of work-related opportunities and the good schools for the future,” added Michele. They’ve enjoyed the community since 1987.

Emma is a sophomore at Mt. Carmel High School and is on the Junior Varsity gymnastics team. She enjoys reading, writing and spending time with friends. Andrew is in 6th grade at Black Mountain Middle School. His sport is roller hockey and he plays with the Mesa Verde Middle School Eagles team. He keeps rolling, skateboarding with friends and exploring a new interest in surfing.

Community involvement is a part of Prescott family life. Michele is president of the National Charity League Poway chapter, a motherdaughter organization dedicated to community service and leadership development. Emma has twice received national philanthropic awards. The Prescotts are active in the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. When Andrew was in Y-Guides, Toby was chief of the Rock Creek Tribe for two years. They look forward to annual reunions with current and past members.

Each season brings new travel adventures. “As a family we enjoy spending time at a family cabin and hiking in the mountains. We like to go to the beach and enjoy sailing boats and catamarans, and in the winter we like to ski and snowboard,” revealed Michele. They are keepers of some traditions, including being season pass holders for the USC Trojans for most of their marriage. For twenty years they’ve hosted a Christmas tree-trimming party for friends. Perhaps another tradition is keeping the Prescott family centered to enjoy life to the fullest while giving back. ¢

MVMS STUDENTS WOW JUDGES IN NHD CONTEST

B

udding scientists have science fairs, and writers can enter essay contests. But what’s out there for the student history buff? Enter the National History Day (NHD) competition. Much like a science fair, individuals or groups of students choose a historical topic related to the annual theme. After conducting research through primary and secondary sources, they showcase their work through a variety of mediums like websites, exhibits, performances or video documentaries.

Mesa Verde Middle School (MVMS) had twelve students at the State competition with two heading to Nationals.

“NHD provides the perfect opportunity for middle school students to be exposed to advanced and in-depth research,” shared Mrs. Bobbie Eisenga, the students’ supervising teacher. “It is a teacher’s dream to recognize that 13 and 14 year old students are confident enough to eagerly stand before adults and share their historical research and analysis.” The theme for this year’s NHD contest was Rights and Responsibilities. The MVMS students presented topics such as Native American reservations, women’s suffrage, the Cultural Revolution in China, and debating the second amendment.

Catherine Tang and Amber Li will be heading to the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest at the University of Maryland from June 15 through 19, presenting their group website Fight to Freedom: Japanese American Internment. “Not only is NHD a chance to learn research and analytical skills, it is also an opportunity to improve presentational skills,”

said Amber. Her partner Catherine elaborated how time-consuming and difficult it was to complete the project, but that presenting it was “a huge accomplishment” for her. 

This dish is great for the end of the week. I tend to make this for my hubby and I when we have had a long day and need something nutritious and filling.

About the Chef: I had to make a few changes in my eating habits ten months ago after being diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I am now totally gluten free, and this recipe is fun and easy to make. I have also started to experiment with raw food and love eating raw veggies.

The best way to start is by making the veggies small like this carrot and beets combination.

Commitment to Community FOUR SCOUTS IN SAME TROOP RECEIVE EAGLE RANK

To

achieve an Eagle Scout ranking requires a special kind of aptitude. You need a respect for the environment, a gumption for getting things done, commitment to character, and connection to the community. It’s a rare honor as well, according to Boy Scouts of America, with only 7% of scouts achieving this rank in 2013. Four boys from Troop 667 in 92129 – Ryan Bulley, Andrew Mallrich, Michael Maher, and Eric Chapelle – blew that statistic out of the water with all four of them achieving Eagle Scout ranking through a variety of community projects.

Ryan Bulley is a senior at Mt. Carmel High School (MCHS) and has served as an assistant patrol leader, troop guide and more with twentysix merit badges and an Eagle Bronze Palm to his name. He renovated the trail to the Black Mountain Middle School sports field, removing dirt, bushes, and trees, and installing ten tons of paving material.

Andrew Mallrich is a senior at MCHS, and his project sought to restore a historic Rancho Peñasquitos community sign. He has been elected as the troop chaplain’s aide a record seven times along with playing trumpet and baritone in the MCHS band.

For Michael Maher’s project he built multiple rolling backpack racks for Deer Canyon Elementary students. Michael is a sophomore at Westview High School (WVHS), active in the Robotics Club and Tri-M musical performance group, and has been patrol leader, bugler, and leave-no-trace guide for the troop.

Eric Chapelle planted native shrubs in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. When fully grown, the shrubs will create a natural sound barrier between the noisy road and peaceful open space. Eric is a senior at WVHS, president of the Mountain Biking Club, and has held the troop senior patrol leader position for five terms. 

MCHS Student Encourages Going Green

Sarah Freeze, an AP Environmental Studies student at Mt. Carmel High School, has truly taken her class studies to heart. As part of her teacher’s challenge to come up with a “green” project, Sarah convinced sixty people, including her own family, to walk or bike more to nearby places rather than take the car. “So far, I calculated that about 900 driving miles have been saved. My family of four has saved approximately 560 of these driving miles so far,” Sarah shared. She encourages the community to also save on gasoline and reduce air pollution this summer by walking or biking to their daily destinations. Sarah added, “Not only does every bit save gas, but by trying it once, it shows people how easy it is to walk every once in a while.”

92129 Sweepstakes Winner

The Publisher’s Clearing House (PCH) has awarded over $247 million to lucky Americans all over the country for the past twenty-five years. PCH just released its Top 10 Winningest States and California came in at 10th place with a combined $7.4 million in winnings.

US Arts Student Featured in Gallery US Arts student Teresa Chen is thrilled to have her work featured through the Mesa College Museum Studies II Program’s new gallery “Metaloci”, currently on exhibit at the Mission Valley Library. As the youngest artist in the show, her work, “Celestial Wanderlust”, was chosen out of many portfolios, despite being only a high school student. “I’m very much influenced by the work of impressionists like Monet and Manet and post-impressionists like van Gogh. Their usage of light, color, and brushstroke is just incredibly inspiring,” said Teresa.

PUSD Celebrates Teachers

“Because of our commitment to our patients’ orthodontic experience, we use only the highest quality dental materials.

We feel that with better dental materials come greater treatment efficiency and improved aesthetics, comfort and results,” revealed Dr. Jerome.

The Signature Orthodontics team is also dedicated to education, both for their patients and for themselves. “We believe you should understand every aspect of your treatment from the moment you walk in the door to the day you leave with your Signature smile,” said Dr. Jerome, who also believes that he and his team should be up-to-date with the latest developments in orthodontic care and treatments. He is highly involved with continuing education activities, most recently as an attendee of the Incognito™ Certification Course and the Invisalign® Summit.

These and other such activities allow Dr. Jerome to provide the highest quality patient care possible.

Dr. Jerome is a Board Certified Orthodontist who has a master’s degree in craniofacial biology from USC. He volunteers for local community dental clinics, as well as clinics in Mexico City, Belize and Costa Rica. “In my free time, I love spending time with my wife, Sarah, my son, JJ, and our dog, Leia.

Q&A with Beth Ugoretz

Executive Director, Project Wildlife

BETH UGORETZ AT-A-GLANCE Name: Community: Education: Title: Family: Hobbies & Interests: Favorite Place to Visit in 92129

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PROJECT WILDLIFE? Project Wildlife was founded in San Diego in 1972 as a nonprofit organization with the mission to improve the quality of life for local wildlife and the community by acting as the primary resource for animal rehabilitation and conservation education in San Diego County.

We care for injured, abandoned and sick wildlife throughout San Diego County with the goal of returning healthy animals to the wild, and we provide educational programming for adults and children topics, related to local wildlife.

Although we do not handle large predators, such as coyotes or cougars, we do work closely with other rehabilitation organizations that care for those animals. Project Wildlife serves one of the most biologically diverse areas in the United States, home to a significant number of threatened species, making us a critical community resource.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR? While we have a large volunteer base, Project Wildlife has a very small staff, so I wear many hats as executive director. Overall, I hope to lead the organization to fulfill our mission by helping as many animals as possible and educating the public on how they can better coexist with our abundance of wildlife. We are so fortunate to live in an area where we can see wild animals on a daily basis in almost every corner of our County. Since we are funded totally by donations, a part of my job is

getting the word out about our organization so that the community understands the critical role we play in keeping San Diego wild and helps to support our activities. I also lead our efforts to ensure that the animals in our care get the best possible chance to recover and be reintroduced to their wild environment.

WHAT KIND OF WILDLIFE DO RESIDENTS CO-EXIST WITH IN 92129?

92129 residents are fortunate to have a great deal of open space surrounding their residential communities. The rolling hills and trails are home to a large variety of song birds, raptors, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, bobcats and coyote.

you can do for the patient. Time is often of the essence, so the sooner you can get an animal to us the better. The porch at our Triage Center in Linda Vista is open 24/7 for you to secure an animal overnight, where it can take some time to rest. If you are handling the animal yourself, always wear gloves or use a towel to protect your hands and place the animal in a container with air holes. Do not give it food or water, as its system is not in a condition to handle either.

It is illegal to hold or keep wildlife without a rehab permit for more than forty-eight hours but we don’t recommend even keeping it overnight.

The sooner you can provide it with a warm, dark, quiet place, and get it to us, the better our chances are of helping it.

WHAT SHOULD RESIDENTS DO IF THEY ENCOUNTER AN ANIMAL IN DISTRESS? If you find a baby animal and are worried that it might have been abandoned, it is best to leave it and watch to see if the parent returns, as often they are simply out finding food. As mentioned below, you can also carefully place a baby back in its nest if it has fallen out. If you happen upon a wild animal that appears to be sick, injured or truly orphaned, remember that humans are considered a threat to wildlife, so even if you are trying to help, too much handling can create a deadly amount of stress.

Act calmly and quietly. If you are sure it is injured, sick, or orphaned, bringing it quickly to a licensed rehab facility is the very best thing

DOES PROJECT WILDLIFE HAVE A LARGE VOLUNTEER BASE? Project Wildlife is very fortunate to have a large and dedicated group of volunteers.

We have about 600 active volunteers for our organization. Some work at our Triage Center to help care for and stabilize our animal patients or help us transport animals from drop off sites to our Triage Center. Others work in about seventy satellite care centers, principally located in volunteers’ homes, where wildlife continues to rehabilitate prior to eventual release, or help to build and repair our cages and aviaries. We have education volunteers who present programs to children and adults throughout the community. We also have volunteers who answer our informational phone

line or who help with the many administrative tasks required for keeping track of our patients for reporting to the government agencies that regulate wildlife rehabilitation.

ARE THERE ANY DANGEROUS ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN 92129?

Most wildlife prefers to keep a distance from humans, but some get close to residential areas simply trying to find food and survive, or care for their young. Pets should not be left unattended in areas that are frequented by coyotes. Even a few minutes alone in a yard can be dangerous for small pets. Some species may be considered simply a nuisance, but can still pose a danger if they feel they need to protect their young. It is best to take preventative measures to discourage wildlife to prevent unwanted encounters. Do not leave dog or cat food outside, as it may attract animals looking for food. Keeping lids tightly shut on trash cans, sealing up access points to attics and crawl spaces, and picking up any fruit that drops can go a long way in protecting your property without harming wildlife.

HOW CAN RESIDENTS OF 92129 SAFELY GUIDE ANIMALS TO NOT HARM THEIR GRASS, PLANTS, AND FLOWERS? Most wildlife will avoid humans, if possible; however, as urbanization has begun to encroach into our natural spaces, some animals have adapted to survive in humaninhabited areas better than others (e.g. opossums, skunks, raccoons). These animals still tend to move through these areas; however, we sometimes unwittingly encourage them to stay longer or revisit a site by creating opportunities for an easy meal or resting place.

To prevent unwanted wildlife situations, we recommend the following: secure all garbage cans and/or keep them inside a garage or shed until trash pickup, clean up all clutter and debris piles that may encourage nesting or denning areas, feed pets indoors or be sure to bring pet food inside at night (it’s also a good idea to clean up pet waste quickly), secure openings into structures and remove plants or structures that may provide easier access into attics and crawlspaces (e.g. ivy on walls).

If these efforts are not enough, there are also some simple and safe deterrents to discourage unwanted wildlife visitors in homes or gardens: try using a chili powder spray (or just plain chili powder) near or on plants to discourage nibbling (use carefully if pets or children are present, and wash thoroughly before consuming) – the chemical, capsaicin, is an irritant to mammals so it is okay to use in bird seed, place ammonia-soaked rags (or spray directly) around areas wildlife finds attractive (only for outdoor use), use motion-sensitive lights or moving objects (like balloons, garden flags and oscillating fans) to startle wildlife

:::: COVER FEATURE away from your home or backyard. The most important thing to remember is that poisons and pesticides can have far-reaching and unintended consequences – like a ripple-effect on other species – and tend to be ineffective at solving on-going wildlife concerns (new animals may simply move in). The better idea is to first correctly identify your problem so you can seek a targeted and safe solution (sometimes referred to as integrated pest management).

IS IT TRUE THAT BABY ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDLED BY HUMANS WILL BE REJECTED BY THEIR PARENTS? It is a myth that wildlife will reject its young if handled by humans. Wild parents have to occasionally leave to find food. Many animals come back to find that their babies are gone because a well-intentioned person thought they were orphaned or abandoned. Our website offers tips on how to determine if wildlife needs our help or if it warrants taking some time to observe and wait for the parents to return. Animals are always better off if they can stay with the parents. In fact, some species such as crows have very tight knit family groups, and it is very distressing to have a family member taken away.

YOUR WEBSITE TALKS ABOUT THE WORD “IMPRINT.” CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOW IT AFFECTS LOCAL WILDLIFE? To imprint wildlife means to teach a young animal to associate humans with a source of food, as they did their parents, thereby removing the necessary aversion they need to have towards humans for their safety and survival. It is actually illegal to intentionally imprint wildlife by trying to rehabilitate on your own or choosing to raise and keep a wild baby as a pet.

DO YOU HAVE ANY REMARKABLE STORIES FROM THE PROJECT WILDLIFE TRIAGE CENTER? Every patient and species is important to us so we celebrate every successful release! The ones that stand out the most in our minds are the animals whose injuries were preventable.

One that stands out in our minds is the opossum who made the unfortunate decision to sniff around what turned out to be an electric fence. He was in critical condition when he arrived with close to 40% of his face covered in burns. After many months of treatment and therapy, he is healing nicely and preparing to return to the wild. However, often times, it can be the juvenile bird that finds it hard to survive and find food in its first year that simply needs our expertise to help it turn the corner and survive after arriving at our door, emaciated and anemic. It is always gratifying to see them gain strength and return to the wild.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR WILDLIFE EXTRACTION/RESCUE? ARE THE ANY TYPES OF DIY EXTRACTIONS AND/OR RESCUE TECHNIQUES? Some people confuse wildlife extraction or exclusion from their homes with wildlife rescue. We rescue animals that have been injured or abandoned, or that appear sick. We do not “rescue” healthy animals that happen to live in your neighborhood! But there are things you can do to keep wildlife from making their home in your home. We have teamed with a company that does humane wildlife extraction and exclusion. While this is a fee-based service, Project Wildlife receives a portion of the proceeds. Humane exclusion involves encouraging the animals to leave your home, physically closing up any sites where they could reenter and educating the homeowner as to how to keep them out. People often do not understand that pest control companies that trap animals are required by law to euthanize the animals that they trap, so they are not taken out and released somewhere else. If you trap and remove animals without closing their entrance points, new animals will soon come to take their place. We would encourage people with wildlife issues in their home to check our website for information about extraction services.

WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO IF THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN HELPING THE LOCAL WILDLIFE? Residents can help local wildlife in several ways. They can start by minimizing harmful interactions with wildlife by not leaving food outside where it might attract wild animals that can become a nuisance or be dangerous to pets. Be watchful while driving in your neighborhood and drive slowly enough to stop for a crossing animal, especially during early morning and late afternoon hours.

Donations to Project Wildlife are greatly

appreciated, as it helps support our efforts to provide healthy wild diets, medical care and rehabilitation of animals for eventual release. Although local humane societies and the County Department of Animal Services refer wild animals to us, we get no funding from them. We are supported solely through donations, so donations of any amount help us to help local wildlife!

We also recruit for and train volunteers to join our team. We particularly need people who might be willing to work towards operating a satellite rehab facility in their home by taking in injured or abandoned animals of a particular species. We help to create aviaries or caging systems for the animals in our care and provide species-specific training to committed individuals.

One of the best ways to positively affect wildlife is to remember that we share our communities with them, and should respect their right to space and the means to survive. This thought may help in encouraging small behaviors that can have a big impact, like not dumping dangerous materials down storm drains, recycling and conserving resources, or simply observing a safe distance from all wildlife. One of the most common and potentially dangerous affects we have on wildlife has to do with our trash. Items like yogurt cups, fishing line, cup lids and plastic ring holders can trap and injure wildlife, and/or cause major damage if consumed. Simple things, like cutting up these containers or balling up fishing line and properly disposing of it, can help. Even one conscientious act may save a life, and if we all participate, think of the difference we can make!

WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART ABOUT WORKING WITH PROJECT WILDLIFE? THE MOST CHALLENGING? The most rewarding part of working for Project Wildlife is helping individual animals who often have suffered the negative consequences of human interactions to be saved, heal and stay wild! I just love living in a community where I have the opportunity to see wildlife thriving, and it is thrilling to be able to keep our wild neighbors healthy for current and future residents. The most challenging aspect is perhaps seeing how much there is to do and knowing that we only do what our resources will allow.

WHAT GOALS HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED WITH PROJECT WILDLIFE? WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH? I have only been with Project Wildlife for a short time, but last year we took in approximately 8,000 wild animals and, even with limited resources, we were able to release a much higher percentage of those animals than the national average. My goals are to help people become more aware of how they impact their wild environment and more aware of what Project Wildlife does for wildlife in San Diego County. I also hope to increase our base of support so that we can continue to pursue our mission! 

trawberry season is here! This beloved red fruit is a favorite among San Diegans, served on plates and in recipes new and old. But for every recipe, you’ll want fresh strawberries to serve, and it doesn’t get much “fresher” than handpicked strawberries straight from the field.

This season, grab your friends and family and head to one of San Diego’s strawberry farms, where you can pick as many berries as your strawberry heart desires.

Driving north on the I-5, it’s hard to miss the vast strawberry field nestled in the hills of Carlsbad off Cannon Rd. This is home to The Carlsbad Strawberry Company, who invite groups as small as a couple to as large as school groups and organizations to come pick strawberries for themselves. Venture into the field with your friends and family for a lovely summer getaway. With groups of fifteen or more, they recommend you call ahead at 760-603-9608 for more information. The fields are open Monday through Friday, and picking is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit their website for farm stand locations and directions at www.carlsbadstrawberrycompany.com.

Out east in Temecula is Kenny’s Strawberry Farm, where their strawberries are grown hydroponically. There’s no need to worry about dirt or mud, as the strawberries are elevated above the ground to where even small children can reach. The farm is open Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and you can visit their website to keep up-to-date with crop conditions at www.temeculavalleystrawberryfarms.com. 

hat’s the first thing that comes to mind when the sweets craving begins? Ice cream?

Strawberry shortcake? Éclairs? How about cookies stuffed with brownies or Oreos? Possibly you’re one of those sweet and salty cravers, then maple chocolate bacon cookies or chocolate covered bacon could do the trick. All of these delectable desserts are at your beck and call when you come upon a Sweet Treats Truck!

Sweet Treats has two styles of food trucks. Their Ice Cream Truck is not your typical neighborhood ice cream truck. Custom designed to look like a 1950s hot rod with 3,000 watt sound system, this magnificent machine caters corporate and private events, serving groups of any size. The Dessert Truck is like a dessert buffet on wheels, always stocked with a variety of cookies, brownies, cupcakes and other various

gourmet treats. The Sweet Treats Trucks add a unique flair to any birthday party, corporate event, or special occasion, and all of the logistics are taken care of for each client. It’s a great way to show appreciation for employees or just put a fun spin on any type of gathering.

Chris and Jennifer Saint are the couple that opened the first Sweet Treats Truck back in 2008, and now run the only food truck in San Diego that is a certified Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE). A former private investigator, when Chris became disabled from a spinal cord surgery, the Sweet Treats Trucks were intended to get him out and about for some physical therapy. Now the trucks run five to seven days a week between five to fifteen hours a day, and have several part time employees. Sweet Treats do not actually make their own treats, instead they team up to support small San Diego bakeries by

showcasing their gourmet goodies: some favorites include Chocolate Covered Bacon

by Seaside Sweets. They support many local ministries of The Rock Church, from fundraising events to feeding the homeless.

The Sweet Treats Trucks are at special events and private parties on a weekly basis.

Some of their highlights include catering parties for numerous celebrities and events for most of the movie studios in Hollywood, and you will find one down at Comic-Con every year working a promotional project.

LG Electronics commented: “Planning an event for 200+ people was a bit overwhelming.

But, Sweet Treats put all my worries to rest and we all had such a great time during our Ice Cream Social.” Sweet Treats Ice Cream and Dessert Trucks: a unique option for satisfying every San Diegan’s sweet tooth.  SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Friends of the Library are always seeking new volunteers for the Book Nook; applications can be picked up at the store.

Directing the Friends of the Library is a diverse group of board members. “We have retired military personnel, financial professionals, small business owners and

community activists,” shared Larry Olson, President of the Friends of the Library. The one thing they most certainly have in common is “a love of reading, meeting new and interesting people, and giving back to our community,” Larry said.

The Rancho Peñasquitos Branch Library is one of thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library System and one of the most popular; only three libraries in the library system have a larger circulation. Larry acknowledged the branch is “well used and well loved by its community.” And in such, it is in need of a small makeover. One of the library’s greatest needs is “an all-

around refresh, including a new roof, new HVAC, paint, carpet, furniture, thorough cleaning, replacing worn out books, etc,” Larry shared.

The Friends of the Library board members have their own wish list, as well: increased volunteers, more memberships, direct donations, and dedicated board members.

From meeting in an old space leased for $1 a year from Vons to the dedicated area of the Book Nook, the Friends of the Library’s progress has been great over the last three decades. The quiet work of the small group goes a long way to serve the needs of a well loved library and the well-read 92129 community. ¢

H

ushed voices and quiet work may be library protocol, but a little cheering and recognition is due for the Rancho Peñasquitos Friends of the Library.

The group first assembled in June 1984 and have been financially supporting the Rancho Peñasquitos Branch Library ever since. Through a combination of membership dues, sales of used and donated books and, most recently, an Amazon store for niche and rare books, the group raises around $17,000 per year.

The money supplements the library and city funds to provide for new materials and popular programming, Group: Board Members:

PQ BBQ

FIRE UP THE GRILL FOR THE 8TH ANNUAL BBQ-PICNIC

Ah,

to have a picnic. Lay out a blanket, serve the cold cuts and potato salad while enjoying the park, the beach and the great outdoors.

Well, it wouldn’t be a picnic without friends or family around you, and for the PQ-NE Action Group they took it a step further and invited the whole community to their picnic. The 8th Annual BBQ-Picnic Set will be this June 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rolling Hills Park. They’ll be firing up the grills and serving barbeque and desserts for the community.

What was first intended as a get-together in 2007 to educate the community about the PQ-NE Action Group’s mission has turned into an all-out affair complete with activities like gunnysack races, water balloon toss, face painting, volleyball and more. Pam Logemann, Fundraising Chair for PQ-NE Action Group, expects around 400 people to attend this year. She also noted that Jennifer Palkovic of Sienna’s PlayGarden is returning to share her vision of revitalizing Rolling Hills Park in memory of her daughter, Sienna.

Many memories are sure to be made during this year’s annual BBQPicnic, but Pam revealed that her most memorable moment was during the very first BBQ-Picnic, when then City Council Rep Sherri Lightner visited.

“She came to the picnic and stayed for the whole event visiting with the neighbors and the firefighters. Ms. Lightner did this every year she was our councilmember,” she added. When asked what she was most excited about, Pam said, “I’m always most excited about being able to bring a community together for a day of fun, food, friends and family where we feel like a ‘whole community’.” Speaking of fun, keep an eye out for that dunk tank! 

he The Poway Unified School District (PUSD) Foundation held its 7th Annual Partners in Education Golf Classic this past April at the Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort and Spa. A reception, dinner, and silent and live auction immediately followed the round of golf. A total of eighty golfers attended this event which raised over $50,000 for students and programs in PUSD. Both PUSD Superintendent John Collins and PUSD Foundation President Fred Pierce attended the event along with local business and community leaders. Fred Pierce said, “Our annual golf classic is the primary fundraiser for the PUSD Foundation. It provides a forum for community leaders to get together to network and to support a great cause – our students are the future of our community.” 

Truckin’ Along

LOCAL STUDENTS FIND BUSINESS FOR FOOD TRUCKS

S

an Diego is just one of many cities with a food truck craze. It’s not uncommon to find them at every large social gathering, outside the downtown offices, or at the many fairs that San Diego holds. A group of food enthusiasts from Westview High School (WVHS) sought to create a service for the many food trucks around San Diego by providing them with event listings. They also plan to donate a percentage of proceeds from each event to Feeding America as well. They’re known as Food Friendzy, a student-run business through Junior Achievement and the Small Business Management Class at WVHS, driven to make the best local food trucks available at events. The staff includes Eric C., Nicole B., Ahmed K., Ayesha N., Nick L., Jordan G., Marina B., Jason N., Sarah B., Kira P., and Audrey H. Food Friendzy’s first success was helping food truck DK Local Kitchen connect with a local event. “They have been wonderful and a pleasure to work with,” shared Sarah Bowman, marketing staff at Food Friendzy. She added, “With the strict limits set on food trucks, our ability as students and event planners would be to get these trucks into events they otherwise wouldn’t be able to get into.”

Since then, Food Friendzy has helped food trucks connect with recent events such as the Ambulance Chase 5K at Lake Miramar in May. Their website and Twitter host a “Food Truck of the Week” to highlight both the well-known and lesser known food trucks around San Diego. Business is booming as the students venture into

giveaway drawings and holding public polls. To learn more about Food Friendzy and keep tabs on their next event visit their website at www.foodfriendzy.net or follow them on Twitter @Food_Friendzy.

With a percentage of the proceeds going towards Feeding America, you can rest assured that you’ll be well-fed and feel charitable with Food Friendzy. 

Passion at the Podium

WVHS STUDENTS SUCCEED IN SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS

G

ood speaking skills are definite tools for the future, for school, the workplace and beyond. To prepare their students with such skills, high schools and colleges across the country feature Speech and Debate clubs of various levels. This year, Westview High School (WVHS) formed its first competitive Speech and Debate team. Armed with words and arguments, the team went on to compete at the State level with impressive results.

WVHS teacher and coach of the team Michael Nguyen explained, “I took over as head coach at the tail end of last year. We had six team members and competed in two tournaments with some success. We now have forty members spread across many of the individual speech events and debate events.”

Michael cited their greatest achievement from this year as the League Debate 3 Tournament, in which they competed against high schools such as Torrey Pines, Carlsbad, and San Dieguito Academy.

The three debate events included Public Forum Debate, Lincoln Douglas Debate, and Policy Debate. Amrit Parida and Shivank Nayak placed third in Public Forum, Zoe Navapanich and Brendan Pyle placed second in Policy Debate, and Yah Huilgol and Allen Wilhelm placed fourth in the same event. Zoe and Brendan headed to the recent State Tournament in Modesto representing the San Diego Imperial Valley Speech League in Policy Debate. Michael was proud to reveal that the duo lasted four rounds against the top debate schools in California.

After a year of whirlwind success, Michael added, “As Speech and Debate at Westview moves forward, we are looking to grow our team and increase our involvement in our league.” 

FW Post 11388 presented two awards to a pair of exceptional public servicemen this past April at Fire Station 40. Firefighter and Paramedic Tim Olson and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Annie Bixler were honored as Firefighter of the Year and EMT of the Year, respectfully.

Post Commander Jerry Bouck said, “All the fire folks seem so thankful and gracious, and it is a real honor for our Post to present the awards. Don Biedermann, Acting Post Commander, presented the awards to Annie Bixler and Tim Olson.” Jerry also extended thanks to VFW member Gordon Belgum for coordinating with the fire department.

Captain Dena Sickels shared these insights on Tim and Annie: “[Tim] has a natural affinity for troubleshooting issues related to things such as tools, engines, and electrical wiring and is always taking action without needing any direction from his supervisors. Annie has shown her professionalism and level of skill in her response on medical incidents. She takes action while still remaining calm, shows compassion, and has a great bedside manner with her patients.”

This will also be Annie’s last year working with the San Diego Fire Department, after twenty-four years of service. 

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

The Listing Appointment that Changed my Life

In

real estate anything can happen. I am reminded of that everyday.

It began a few months ago when I arrived for a meeting with a prospective client. Bonnie, Rick, and Bubba welcomed me into their home, we sat down at the kitchen table, got to know each other and discussed their real estate goals and needs. We set up a plan for the months ahead.

Then out of nowhere, Bonnie says, “You know you should take Bubba home with you.” A little stunned at the proposition of taking one of their dogs, I politely declined and let them know I was not ready for that type of commitment. However, Bonnie had planted a seed.

In September of last year, two of our dogs went to doggie heaven.

It was extraordinarily difficult and, against the better advice of others, I thought it best to take a year to grieve rather than fill the void with a “replacement” dog.

About thirty minutes later my seed of opportunity sprouted and as we said our goodbye, I said, “I am going to take you up on your offer.” In the blink of an eye, Bonnie gave a smile and sang out her contagious laugh and Bubba (now Greyson) hopped right up into the car.

Real estate is more than a business, it is an opportunity. These opportunities arrive when they are least expected, but it is a matter of recognizing these opportunities.

Greyson found some real estate and we all found love.

Bonnie is a volunteer and rehabilitates dogs with Labs and More.

If you would like to put a dog up in a new house and your loving home please contact them at www.labsandmore.org. 
