:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 1 No. 6 TM
Susco Media, the local family-owned parent company of 92129 Magazine, continues its rapid growth plans to launch new publications in Poway and Rancho Bernardo. Similar to this publication, 92064 Magazine and 92128 Magazine will be all about community, family and lifestyle – and dedicated to providing readers with information they want to read. We are excited about this expansion, and very grateful to the loyal readers and supportive advertisers of 92129 Magazine for their overwhelmingly positive response and good wishes. With our next issue, we celebrate the beginning of our second year of Rancho Penasquitos’ own magazine – so don’t miss this upcoming special issue. INSIDE this – the sixth – issue of 92129 Magazine, readers get a fascinating look at the San Diego Police Department’s Northeastern Division operations, beginning on page 36. The package also includes an informative review of the department’s history. Other “don’t miss” items in this edition include: ●● How PQ’s Magill family copes with split high school loyalties, on page 22. ●● What one local Girl Scout did to teach healthy eating habits, on page 46. And, finally, want a last look at the Fiesta de los Penasquitos 2011? Just check out photographer Zeena Gregg’s outstanding photographs on pages 42-43 in this issue. What a great time! With a crowd estimate of 18,000, the 100-plus vendors were happy. As Zeena’s photographs illustrate, every kid we saw was smiling, and running, and playing, and eating – and happy, happy, happy. Congratulations to the Rancho Penasquitos Town Council, Fair Coordinator Rozanna Zane, and all the volunteers who made us proud to be a part of PQ.

Festive ‘Black & White’ Event Celebrates Susco Media’s Success, Planned Expansion
I
t was a true celebration in March at Capri Blu Restaurant in 4S Ranch. If fact, it was a “Festaggiare”, with more than 90 local dignitaries, VIP advertisers, friends and supporters of 92129 Magazine and 92127 Magazine gathered to celebrate the success of the publications’ parent company, Susco Media Inc., which is based in 4S Ranch. Guests arrived on the red carpet greeted by strolling Italian performers and authentic music setting the theme of Festaggiare (“celebration”). Tables were adorned in a black and white theme with festive balloons and vibrant splashes of red décor. Magazine covers celebrating the community were featured along the back wall and a photo station was set up for guests to capture their night with a commemorative photo as a take home gift. Plenty of drinks and an array of fresh culinary delights such as antipasto salads, scrumptious Italian flatbreads and elegant pasta and chicken entrees kept the crowd going during the evening. Suzy Sarver, Executive Director of Business Development for Susco Media,

served as host for the event and introduced the company’s staff of small business marketing professionals, including Director of Production Tara Pritchett and Art Director Tyler McElhaney. “This team has a passion for what they do with 92129 Magazine and Susco Media’s other publications,” Chief Executive Officer Scott McElhaney told the group, all fashionably dressed in black and white attire. “We love what we do – and we have a passion for success, and we invite the business community in Inland North San Diego County to join us in this exciting journey.” Highlight of the evening, though, was the special presentation by Susco’s President and Publisher Derrick Breaux about the company’s immediate expansion plans, including the launch of 92064 Magazine and 92128 Magazine later in 2011. “We have had a tremendous response to our current three publications,” Breaux said. “Susco’s most recent launch, 92131 Magazine – serving Scripps Ranch and first published in March this year – had a spectacular reception from both readers

ggiare! and advertisers.” Many residents and businesses lobbied Susco to expand into the Poway and Rancho Bernardo markets, Breaux said. “With the launch of 92064 Magazine in June – followed shortly thereafter by the first issue of 92128 Magazine – businesses and service companies can reach directly more than 80,000 targeted, high demographic households along the Interstate 15 and Highway 56 corridors in Inland North County,” Breaux said. “And not only do advertisers reach a lucrative audience, they also do so in a high-quality environment in one of our colorful, well-read community magazines, each filled with vibrant photographs and well-written local articles.” The two new magazines will make it five total publications launched in the past 20 months by Susco Media. Serving the Poway community, 92064 Magazine will provide community features, profiles and information in an attractive, full-color, glossy print publication. Delivered by direct mail to every single family home and condominium in U.S. Postal Service Zip Code 92064, the magazine also has a

Stephanie Davidson and Salon de Claude provided hair styles for the Susco Media staff. “The event surpassed our greatest expectations,” Sarver said of the event. “Our advertisers and community leaders showed up in record numbers to celebrate our success together and embrace our vision for the future. It was rewarding to hear advertisers share their stories on what an impact the publications have made to their business.” ¢ Businesses or service companies interested in reaching the lucrative communities in the professional advertising environment provided by 92127 Magazine, 92129 Magazine, 92131 Magazine, 92064 Magazine or 92128 Magazine should contact Suzy Sarver by email at sbsarver@suscomedia.com or by phone at 858-207-6316.

PQ VFW Post Supports Veterans, Serves Community
M
any local residents are aware that PQ’s Flag Day Celebration – a much-anticipated annual happening – is organized and sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 11388 in Rancho Penasquitos; however, fewer know about the VFW’s other worthwhile activities, events and service to the community. Main mission of the VFW is to foster camaraderie among veterans in the area, and to serve veterans, the military, and the Rancho Penasquitos community. “Primarily we serve all veterans in our community and the nation,” said Post Commander Don Diedermann Jr., a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer who served in the 1st Gulf War in 1990-91. “We also serve the military personnel serving locally, and – additionally – we provide community service to the Rancho Penasquitos and neighboring communities through our service programs.” This year’s Flag Day Celebration is at 2 p.m., June 12 at Hilltop Park and includes the hoisting of a 10 foot

by 14-foot American flag. Other local events handled by the VFW include the Memorial Day flag raising and living history event at Mt. Carmel High School and the Westview High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Course Awards Ceremony. But Post 11388 does even more for the community, including: ●● An annual award to the Mt. Carmel High School Teach of the Year. ●● Presentation of the Voice of Democracy Award to students at Mt. Carmel and Westview high schools. ●● Police Officer of the Year, Firefighter of the Year and EMT of the Year awards. ●● Boy Scout of the Year Award. Post 11388 currently has 78 members, and meets at 7:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month at the Penasquitos Lutheran Church, 14484 Penasquitos Dr. Donations are accepted

hey’re women of all ages. Some are single, while others are married. Members come from Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Poway and Rancho Bernardo. They are the members of the Diamond Gateway Women’s Organization, open to all women in the area looking for friends, things to do and an opportunity to be involved in the community. The group’s major annual fundraiser – the Annual Spring Luncheon in May – benefited two worthwhile causes: ●● Operation America Cares, which sends care packages to military personnel serving overseas in war zones. ●● Mary’s House, an Escondido-based 18-month transitional living program

designed to meet the needs of at-risk former female foster youth recently transitioned out of San Diego’s Foster Care System. Other regular activities throughout the year include bridge, bunco, chicken foot (dominoes), a “Crafty Crafters” group, various luncheon outings, and other fundraising activities. Meetings are at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at the Mt. Carmel Church of the Nazerene, 10060 Carmel Mountain Road – and typically feature a speaker (recent guests, for example,

included a genealogist, an author, a master gardener). Diamond Gateway Women’s Organization began in 1994 and was formerly known as “Welcome Wagon” and then “Women of Penasquitos,” consisting of about 13 women who all enjoyed playing bridge. The membership grew to about 70 members – and as more women from the surrounding areas indicated an interest in joining, current name was introduced. Membership is always open at any time of the year. For additional information, email the organization at dgwopq@gmail.com. ¢

:::: LOCAL FAMILY
Sibling Rivalry M
ost families with children have some level of sibling rivalry, but the Magill family takes it to a new level. Kelsey and Stephanie – twin 17-year-old sisters of Kelley and James Magill – are different in many ways: Blue-eyed Kelsey is tall with wavy hair, loves to run track, enjoys exotic foods, adores fashion trends and is an avid movie buff; green-eyed Stephanie is average height with straight hair, passionate about music and drama, more particular about her food, and usually prefers to hang out in comfortable jeans and T-shirt. But the big difference for the girls: One roots for the Sundevils, while the other is a Wolverine. Older sister Christine, a Mt. Carmel High School graduate, adds to the secondary school split in the home. The split in loyalty is a practical one, with Stephanie selecting Mt. Carmel for its orchestra and music program and Kelsey prefer22

ring to attend Westview High School to run track and be with her friends. And, despite the divided school loyalty, the Magills enjoy many activities as a family -- including going to movies, concerts, lacrosse, hiking, and their own tradition of “speedminton” (fast badminton without a net). “Every summer we like to go to the Westview tennis courts and play a family friendly game of ‘speedminton’ on a weekly basis.” said Kelley Magill. They also treasure their time together by throwing annual family parties for the Super Bowl, the Academy Awards and New Year’s Eve. They also make a point of eating dinner together every night and traveling together, including trips to Hawaii, the Mexican Riviera, and Charlotte, NC to visit family. The Magills met in 1987 in Charlotte, Kelley’s hometown. At the time, Kelley worked at Nautilus Performance gym where James
June | July 2011
92129magazine.com
(originally from Reading, PA) worked out. The two met when James was scheduled for an exercise test with Kelley. Shortly thereafter, they went to a Halloween party for their first date and James proposed four days later (although they kept their engagement a secret for about six months and married a year later). Seeking a bigger house with more bedrooms, a good school district and “close proximity to several excellent high schools,” the Magill family moved to Torrey Highlands in 2003. They also liked being close to the beach and near bike paths and highways, which complement their active lifestyle. During the workweek, James is busy with his job as a manager with San Diego Gas & Electric, where he has worked since 1993. He enjoys mountain biking, martial arts and refereeing girl’s and women’s lacrosse. For the past seven years, Kelly has been a Student Services Specialist at Los Penasquitos Elementary School in Rancho Penasquitos. She enjoys running and has competed in an impressive 32 marathons. A Liberal Arts major, 20-year-old Christine is in her third year at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) and expects to earn her teaching credential. She played lacrosse for four years in high school and recently started a women’s lacrosse team at CSUSM – in addition to currently coaching the Mt. Carmel’s JV lacrosse team. And – despite their differences – Kelsey and Stephanie are quite close. In fact, both expressed an interest in attending Cal State Monterey Bay after high school, possibly as roommates. ¢

basketball courts in the area. The gazebo, amphitheater and fitness course surrounding the center allows for multitude of activity. With the breathtaking views of downtown and the ocean on clear days, it is no wonder why so many photographers claim this spot as their background. Canyonside Recreation Center, dedicated on November 30, 1993, is certainly a favorite of the community. The center, off of Black Mountain Road, is host of many PQ sporting events. The soccer, baseball, softball fields as well as the tennis courts are used heavily during the day, but also in the evening as lighting is in place. It is also home to two indoor basketball courts, a multipurpose room, meeting rooms, park areas for picnics, and, of course, multiple play areas for children. This year, the PQ 4th of July Fireworks show – at Westview High School – can be seen clearly on July 2. Black Mountain Multi-Purpose Center, off of Oviedo St., is one of several “joint use” facilities in the city of San Diego. This multipurpose center is shared with Black Mountain Middle School. Camps and activities occur at this facility after school as well as on Saturdays. One can also catch a game of “Open Play Badminton” on Wednesdays between 6:30 p.m and 9:30 p.m. Another hot spot in the community for those on wheels is the Rancho Penasquitos Skate Park. The park is open every day of the week from 10 a.m. until dusk. Skaters and rollerbladers have populated this park off of Carmel Mountain Road with their skills since its establishment. ¢

Who doesn’t love moist and flavorful cupcakes? They are like a party in a paper wrapper. “The nice thing about the mini cupcakes is that they are so small – only a bite-full – I can pretend they won’t ruin my diet. The problem, of course, is that I can’t eat just one,” said Wendy Platt of Rancho Penasquitos. “These Babycakes are great for serving at baby showers or summer potlucks. They go quickly… and the frosting is fabulous. Try not to eat any leftover frosting straight from the bowl. I dare you!” Platt first saw these cupcakes on television, but substituted some of the baby food flavors and tweaked the recipe to make it her own. A married mother of four (three grown) children, she has lived and worked in PQ since 1985. In addition to cooking cupcakes, she read, cheers on the Padres and plays with her grandchildren. ¢

Westview High School student Connor Oberrick has been fascinated with airplanes since he was a young child; he even knew at the age of four that he wanted to be a pilot. “I’m not 100 percent certain what first got me hooked, but I remember having family friends who were military aviators and hearing their stories... and the movie Top Gun,” said Oberrick, 18. “I learned to fly (remote control) planes when I was about 10 and spent many hours flying them with my dad.” His avid interest in aviation led Oberrick – an only child who lives with his parents, John and Fiona Oberrick, in Carmel Mountain Ranch – to select ‘(My parents) taught me never to Westview High School, which has quit and that if I want something in a Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) Prolife there is nothing that can stop gram. me except for myself.’ Describing himself as a “fierce - Conner Oberrick patriot” with a significant desire to make a difference, Oberrick is aiming toward a career as a combat aviator for the U.S. Marine Corps. He hopes to attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, and June | July 2011

after receiving a Congressional Nomination from U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter he is currently on the wait-list for the prestigious school. Equally remarkable is that Oberrick has a full scholarship (U.S. Marine Corps Option NROTC) to the University of Washington. And, in a first for Westview, Oberrick was awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross – the highest award possible for both high school and college level cadets. The award is based upon excellence in academics, leadership, athletics and civic affairs and less than 50 are awarded nationally in any given year. In his spare time, Oberrick is extremely active and involved in a variety of activities, including hiking, basketball, “ultimate” Frisbee, shooting, baseball and golf. He and a friend also planning a military career regularly climb up nearby Black Mountain in full heavy gear and backpack, in preparation for future training. Another love for Oberrick is working on his 1992 Jeep Wrangler, which he describes as his pride and joy. “I waste just about every dollar I earn on it, and have poured countless hours into working on it with my dad,” he said. “It is by no means the nicest car on the road, but it is mine, and there is not another one on the road that looks just like it, so it is very special to me. Also, to have it built up from almost nothing into what it is today is perhaps the greatest reason as to why it is so important to me.” According to Oberrick, his greatest source of inspiration is his parents. “They taught me never to quit and that if I want something in life there is nothing that can stop me except for myself,” said Oberrick, who also praised Westview NJROTC Instructor CDR Rick Jordan as instrumental in his success. “He has taught us how to lead simply through his example.” ¢

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Three Authors at AAUW Event
Three prominent authors were featured at the Poway-Penasquitos Branch of American Association of University Women’s 14th Annual “Cover to Cover” event on May 7 at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. This literary luncheon included remarks by: ●● Greg Evans, an American cartoonist and the creator of syndicated comic strip “Luann”. He received the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for 2003 for the strip and has been nominated four other times for the same award. ●● Caitlin Rother, who worked for nearly 20 years as an investigative reporter for daily newspapers and made dozens of television and radio appearances as a crime expert. Her newest book, “Dead Reckoning”, is a chilling read by a writer at the top of her game. ●● Susan Goldstein, the author of several books with one feature book, “Hollywood Forever”, that has received many awards. Susan is a judge, attorney and author in Beverly Hills. The major annual fundraiser for the local AAUW organization, proceeds are used to sponsor local middle school girls at Tech Trek science camp and to provide scholarships for local re-entry college women.
Canyon View Students ‘Jog for Japan’
Canyon View Elementary School’s recent “Jog for Japan” program and other fundraising activities raised more than $4,000 to assist victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. “Jog For Japan” pledge letters were sent home to the families in the school and the week-long event took place during physical education – with each class running for 20 minutes. “I was just so proud of the children and the families for their amazing support and excitement to help out with our fundraiser. They were awesome,” said PE teacher Kimbery Keefer. “I was also very thankful to the local businesses for donating items for me to raffle off after our event. It was quite a success!” Among the local businesses donating prizes for the participants were Laces, Sports Authority, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili’s, and Roundtable Pizza.

Fire Station 40 crew is expected (emergency calls permitting) to visit the event, plus San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner and a representative from the San Diego Police Dept.

Terry Spencer Memorial Golf Celebration June 12th The Terry Spencer Memorial Golf Celebration is planned on Sunday, June 12, at the Doubletree Golf Resort in Rancho Penasquitos to honor the longtime PQ resident and community volunteer, who died in February due to cancer. The entire Spencer family – Terry, Colleen, Summer and Alec – have always been very active in community activities. Their involvement with Sunset Hills Elementary School, Black Mountain Middle School and Mt. Carmel High School has been influential and rewarding for all those who have had the opportunity to work with them to support each school. The family is also involved in soccer, basketball, baseball, equestrian, and golf. The golf celebration is a scramble format with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Cost to participate is $35, and additional information and registration is available from Craig Henton at 858-740-7677 or crhenton@earthlink.net. Terry and son Alec – a member of the Mt. Carmel golf team – often could be found on a local golf course on the weekends. And golf was frequently a part of Spencer family vacations, with a highlight of playing at St. Andrews in Scotland. The “golf celebration” concept is a fitting tribute to Terry and his love of golf, according to Henton.

Mesa Verde Ensemble Plays Chicago
Mesa Verde Middle School’s Select Ensemble is one of three middle school groups that competed in the Heritage Festival’s 2011 Festival of Gold at Chicago Symphony Hall. Sixty-eight students participate in the Ensemble, which began in 2003 and last year performed at a Heritage Festival in San Francisco and received a Gold Award rating. Only groups that received a Gold Award were invited to perform in the Heritage Festival of Gold this year. The Select Ensemble performed three selections in the March festival: The hymn “Be Thou My Vision,” “Second Suite in F for Military Band” and “Eternal Peaks.” The Select Ensemble is one of six concert bands offered at Mesa Verde Middle School. Mesa Verde is also the only middle school represented in the Honor Band. Eleven students were selected to perform alongside the best high school musicians. Jay Posteraro is director of bands for the school.
Willow Grove Teacher Honored
Three teachers – including Julie Harris of Willow Grove Elementary School – were named as Poway Unified School District’s 2011-12 Teachers of the Year. Harris has taught fourth grade at Willow Grove since 2008 but has been with the district since 1986. The other recipients were Lisa Casey O’Brien of Poway High School and Jo Ann Cooper of Twin Peaks Middle School. The three teachers will go on to compete against other teachers in the district in October as county officials select five San Diego County Teacher of the Year award recipients.
PQ Resident Wins County Spelling Bee
Francis Parker School 7th-grader and Rancho Penasquitos resident Snigdha Nandipati won the 42nd annual San Diego Union-Tribune Countywide Spelling Bee in March at Cygnet’s Old Town Theatre. For her efforts, Nandipati won an all-expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C. at the end of May to compete in the 2011 Scripps National Spelling Bee (results of the national competition were not available when this issue of 92129 Magazine was completed). Nandipati beat out 94 other 7th and 8th graders to win the competition, which took just over 4½ hours to complete. She finished off her victory by spelling the word “wastrel” which means “something rejected or discarded as useless or imperfect.” Francis Parker School, which had not participated in the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition prior to this year, began its relationship with the competition due in large part to the efforts of Dan Lang, a Middle School English teacher and grade level coordinator at Parker. Nandipati won the school’s contest in February, making her eligible to compete in the event. facebook.com/92129magazine
Westview Navy JROTC 12th in U.S.
Westview’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps ranked 12th at the recent National Drill, Academic and Athletic Championship at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida. Only 25 of the nation’s 632 NJROTC units qualified for the event. Westview qualified for their second trip in three years to Nationals by placing second at the state championship in Santa Ana in February. “We knew we had an outstanding chance of going back to Nationals because we won three out of four qualifiers this year,” said Westview’s Senior Naval Science Instructor, CDR Rick Jordan, USN (ret). “Our cadets have been practicing hard after school every day and their hard work paid off. Nationals was definitely one of our goals this year.” Forty Navy JROTC cadets flew on a Navy C-9 transport from Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island for the flight to Pensacola. Highlights of the competition included: ●● A Uniform Inspection where cadets were graded on how they marched in and out of the drill pad, uniform appearance and general NJROTC knowledge. Leading the Battalion was Cadet Commander Nathan Wilson. Immediately following Inspection, the four member color guard team competed. ●● The athletic portion of the event, which consisted of push-ups, curl-ups, a mile relay and a 16x100 “shuttle run.” For push-ups and curl-ups, each team had eight males and eight females perform as many as possible to cadence under the watchful eye of judges and any cadet falling out of cadence or using improper form was eliminated. For the males, Cadet Alex Dycaico – just like two years ago – led Westview in push-ups, while Cadet Paige Cavendish led the Westview females in both push-ups and curlups. Cadet Michael Kuzminskiy led the males in curl-ups. ●● A 100-question academic exam. The academic team was led by Cadet Connor Oberrick, who also led the unit two years ago. Westview’s best performances were a second place finish in Armed Basic Drill and and a fifth place finish in Personnel Inspection. “We knew that we could come down here do better than we did two years ago when we finished 19th,” Jordan said. “The level of competition was extremely high and I hope it motivates us to come back next year and do even better. We have 80 cadets and one Instructor but we can compete against units with 150 cadets and three Instructors.” During breaks in the competition, the unit was able to tour the National Naval Aviation Museum, and spend time at the beach. Jordan also noted that Cadet Wilson will attend Arizona State University on a Navy ROTC Scholarship next fall, and Cadet Oberrick will either attend the University of Washington on a Marine Corps Option NROTC Scholarship or the U.S. Naval Academy.

SDPD: Northeastern Division has the largest square mileage of all the 10 San Diego Police Department divisions.

First San Diego Lawman
P
San Diego Police Department’s History
rior to 1889, law enforcement in San Diego was handled by city marshals and constables. Between 1845 and 1850, the town was under military control. In 1850, the California State Senate drew up a charter providing for a five-man city council assisted by a marshal, an attorney, an assessor and a treasurer. The voters chose Agostin Haraszthy as both sheriff and marshal. The frontier lawman was patrolman, detective, criminologist, jailor, process server, clerk and executioner. His first requirement was raw courage. He depended upon the gun on his hip to back up his orders. His first interest was in keeping alive and bringing the culprit to justice, dead or alive. In 1850, the council decided to build a town jail. Two bids were received, one from the Israel brothers for $3,000 and the other from Haraszthy for $5,000. Because Haraszthy’s father was president of the council, Haraszthy got the contract –bankrupting the city. Four hours after the first prisoner was incarcerated, he dug his way through the wall with a pocket knife. The city eventually purchased a cage and put its first escape-proof jail in the Old Town Plaza. In 1871, the jail was moved to the location of the present county courthouse at Front and C Streets in new San Diego. The metropolitan San Diego Police Department was established May 16, 1889. On June 1 of that year, Joseph Coyne, the city marshal, was appointed the first chief of police. The first police uniform consisted of derby hats, coats with high collars and badges with seven-point stars. Chief Coyne was paid $125 a month, his officers $100 a month; and they worked 12hour days, seven days a week. In 1895 shifts were reduced to eight hours – but salaries also dropped by $25 a month. Mounted patrolmen furnished their own horses, but did receive $100 a month for feed and care of their animals. The modern mounted patrol began in 1934 in June | July 2011
Balboa Park. It was abolished in 1948, but was re-established in 1983 and remains active today. Among other milestones: ●● Harry Vandeberg was the first detective (1907) ●● W. E. Hill was the department’s first motorcycle officer (1909) ●● The first traffic signal was installed around 1920 at Fifth Avenue and Broadway (it was manually controlled by an officer who stood in the center of the intersection) ●● Patrol cars got one-way radios in 1932, and two-way radios four years later ●● The crime lab was established in 1939 The first police headquarters was in City Hall at Fifth Avenue and G Street. Several moves later, the department relocated at Dead Man’s Point, named because of its use as a burial place for sailors and marines during the charting and surveying of San Diego Bay. The department remained there – at 801 West Market Street – until 1987, when it moved into its current seven-story headquarters building at 1401 Broadway.

Chief Emphasizes Community Involvement William M. Lansdowne’s Biography
S
an Diego Police Department Chief William M. Lansdowne was sworn in Aug. 4, 2003. Born in Oakland in 1944, he graduated from San Jose State University in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice Administration – and began his law enforcement career in 1966 when he joined the San Jose Police Department. As he learned law enforcement, he also was serving his state as a member of the California National Guard (1966-72). Lansdowne rose steadily through the ranks at SJPD, commanding a variety of units and divisions – and developing a reputation as a person who cared about his officers and the community they policed. He was accessible and he was not afraid to make decisions. Those skills eventually elevated him to the position of Assistant Chief. In 1994, a new challenge presented itself and Lansdowne left San Jose to head the police department in Richmond, Calif., a diverse community of 93,000. He reorganized the department and its priorities, placing new emphasis on community policing and implementing violence reduction and truancy programs. During his five years in Richmond, homicides dropped by 50 percent and department overtime was reduced by $800,000 in just two years. In August 1998, Lansdowne returned to San Jose as that
city’s “top cop.” He continued to emphasize community involvement, holding his department open to public scrutiny. While he was chief, San Jose became nationally recognized as the safest large city in the U.S. Over the years, Lansdowne has expanded his expertise and his reputation as one of the foremost law enforcement professionals in the country. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and has served on a variety of state and national boards, including the Major Cities Chiefs and the National Conference for Community and Justice. Lansdowne has been married for nine years to Sharon, a former San Jose police officer. He has two sons by a prior marriage: Greg, a Santa Cruz sheriff’s deputy, and Erik, who works in sales in Mountain View. Sharon has a son by a prior marriage: Mike Young, a computer engineer, who lives in Fairfield. The Lansdownes enjoy spending quality time with their two grandchildren. ¢ Source: www.sandiego.gov

biggest event of the year – the 16th Annual Fiesta de los Penasquitos in May – was a huge success this year. According to Andy Berg, president of the Rancho Penasquitos Town Council (which coordinates the event), the 2011 edition drew an estimated 18,000 residents and visitors to the community to eat, listen to music, enjoy carnival rides and shop among 118 vendors. “We are extremely pleased with the huge turnout for this year’s event. The weather was great and people were having a great time. Many vendors indicated to us that they were very busy throughout the day and were looking forward to coming back next year,” Berg said. “Major thanks are in order for our Presenting Sponsor, 92129 Magazine, and our many Community Sponsors and volunteers without whom this event would not have been possible.” ¢ 42

PERC Spreads the Word: Be Ready for Next Emergency R
ancho Penasquitos needs to be ready, whether it’s a fire, and earthquake or another type of emergency – and that’s why PERC exists. The Penasquitos Emergency Response Council was created earlier this year to create a pre-trained and pre-identified program of volunteers and resources ready to respond, if needed, for the Rancho Penasquitos and Santaluz communities. PERC is actually part of a wider effort by RB United, a non-profit Rancho Bernardo-based organization started in 2003 that grew out of neighbors helping neighbors during and after wildfires. Grand money allows the group to organize other communities along the 1-15 corridor to be better prepared for emergency situations. “We were asked to seek out volunteers and get our communities organized,” said Dave Warner, PERC chairman. “This is a daunting task…(but) we set a date of 1-11-11 (Jan. 11, 2011) as a

start date and decided that we would begin no matter how many volunteers we could assemble.” PERC now has 18 members on the council, with additional volunteers serving on various working groups. “So far all who have listened to our goals have seen the need and been willing to become part of the organization,” Warner said. “It is gratifying to see so many good neighbors in the community so willing to get involved.” Warner indicated that PERC will work with other entities – such as the

organizations or plans may already be in place,” he said. “But we will try to coordinate all of these plans and entities into a unified plan for the entire Rancho Penasquitos and Santaluz communities.” While Warner said that PERC’s purposes are educational in nature, it is essentially a planning arm of the community education process – and will be organizing organizations and planning

Healthy Eating Habits Spring from Girl Scout’s Garden Project
I
t’s important to Katelyn Hennes that children learn good eating habits and have a healthy lifestyle. With the near-completion of her Girl Scouts of America Gold Award project, she is making that type of impact – plus instilling kids with a sense of responsibility and achievement. Katelyn, a member of Troop 8116, worked with the Del Mar Branch of the San Dieguito Boys & Girls Club to create a sustainable vegetable garden. “Healthy habits are really important to me,” the 17-year-old Westview High School junior said. “And after successfully having and building my own garden at home, I wanted to share this experience with others in the community.”

The project was much more extensive than simply tilling the soil and planting the seeds, though. Katelyn, the daughter of Alane and Paul Hennes of Rancho Penasquitos, also: ●● Beautified the original space of dead grass surrounding the garden with bark, stepping stones, a bench, new plants and freshly-painted planter boxes. ●● Built a butterfly garden. ●● Created a book for the club’s members on how to sustain the garden. ●● Created a recipe book so the children would have ideas on

how to use the fruit and vegetables from the garden. ●● Constructed rabbit fences and a scarecrow for the garden. If that were not enough, she also spent spring break at the club, teaching the kids involved with the project about nutrition, sustainability, gardening and healthy cooking. The classes involved various craft projects and a variety of guest speakers – including an environmental science teacher, a doctor, a chef, and a biology teacher. Katelyn is also a varsity swimmer and editor in chief for the Westview student newspaper, but really enjoys the achievement and community service aspect of Girl Scouts – and specifically the garden project. “It was amazing knowing that I was making a difference in these kids’ lives and helping such a great organization as the Boys & Girls Club,” she said. “It was also extremely satisfying to see something that I had worked so hard on completed and finished. I love to help my community out and am glad that could do something to help so many people.” ¢

Bertrand’s Music wants to help make quality music education accessible to all ages.” And, just this May, Bertrand’s Music sent a representative
from the company to Washington D.C. for advocacy training and meetings with several members of Congress, as part of the annual National Association of Music Merchants Fly In.

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.

BBQ BAR-B-Q BARBEQUE OR BARBECUE?
Whatever the Backyard Cookout Flavor, Play It Safe This Summer
C
onsumers’ love affair with barbecuing continues unabated, and for good reasons, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association. They tell the organization that they barbecue mainly because the food tastes good, but they cite other reasons too: It’s fun, it keeps the kitchen cool, it’s a great way to entertain at home…the list goes on. Following a few basic steps provided by the HPBA that can help ensure safe, reliable operation of an outdoor cooking appliance, regardless of what type is used. Recipe for Safety: First, be Smart and Informed The main “ingredient” for safety in outdoor cooking is common sense. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for assembling and using your grill or smoker, and call their “help line” numbers if you have a problem or a question. Basic Safety Tips • Use the barbecue grill outdoors, in an open area away from any enclosure or overhang – carbon monoxide can accumulate and cause fatalities. • Be sure all parts of your grill are firmly in place and that the grill is stable. • When using electrically-powered accessories (e.g., a rotisserie), be sure they are properly grounded in accordance with local codes. Buy a cord designed for outdoor use. Route the cord well away from the hot grill and away from walkways. • Use long-handled utensils to avoid burns and spatters. • Do not wear anything with hanging shirttails, frills or apron strings. • Use flame-retardant mitts when adjusting hot vents. • To extinguish flare-ups, spread out the coals with a longhandled utensil (if they can reach them easily), or adjust the controls to reduce the temperature. If a sprits of water must be used to douse the flames, first remove the food from the grill. Always use an elbow-length, flame retardant mitt when dealing with flare-ups. • Use baking soda to control a grease fire and have a fire

extinguisher handy. If no commercial extinguisher is available, keep a bucket of sand or a garden hose nearby. • Never leave a hot grill unattended. • Do not allow any activities around the grill when it is in use or still hot. Always use the grill away from combustible surfaces, and never attempt to move a hot grill. • Prior to lighting a gas grill, be sure to open the lid to prevent a buildup of gas. • When cooking is completed, be sure to turn off the fuel supply and then turn the burners to “off.” • Check your grill regularly for signs of wear and tear, particularly for hose cracks and possible leaks; also keep burners clear of dirt and insects that can block hoses or tubes. • When using a liquid propane (LP) gas grill, always store propane tanks outside and in an upright position. • Never use an LP cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust or other forms of visual external damage. It may be hazardous and should be checked by a liquid propane supplier. • For more consumer safety information about liquid propane, visit www.usepropane.com. ¢ The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) provided these suggestions for general grilling safety. More information – with detailed sections on safety tips for gas, charcoal/wood chunk and electric grilling, as well as food safety tips for barbecuing – is available under the consumer link on the home page of the group’s web site (www.hpba.org).
