:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 1 No. 3 TM

Don’t miss this month’s revealing cover article on the Rancho Penasquitos Library, beginning on page 30. Branch Manager Barbara Schwartz was kind enough to give us some time to describe some of the unique programs, events and services offered by the local library, which is a part of the San Diego Library system. It first opened as a 2,700 sq. ft. temporary facility in PQ in 1984, and today the local library facility is more than 20,000 sq. ft. and has a staff of 11. What a wonderful part of our community; we encourage all residents of the 92129 area to visit and support this great asset to our quality of life. Also, be sure to check out some of our regular features in this, our third, issue of 92129 Magazine: An interesting piece on “Community Volunteer” Kristin Driscoll, who counsels military personnel and their families on financial issues (beginning on page 10). A truly feel-good story about “Student Star” Austin Fox and the Westview High School boys basketball team helping Habitat for Humanity build homes for the disadvantaged (beginning on page 16). Of course, there is much more throughout the publication, which expands to a healthy 48 pages of fun-to-read community information and engaging local photographs, from readers and our talented photographer, Zeena Gregg. Not only is 92129 Magazine’s page count growing, so is our staff. With this issue, we announce the addition of SB Sarver as Executive Director of Business Development (see page 12) and Tara Pritchett as Director of Production (see page 39). Both are outstanding professionals who will help with the continued improvement of the publication – and that of our sister publication, 92127 Magazine, which is distributed to homes in 4S Ranch, Del Sur, Santaluz, Westwood, Santa Fe Valley, High Country West, and the surrounding areas. These are exciting times for us, and we are genuinely grateful for the warm welcome you’ve given the publication when it arrives at your home.

ristin Driscoll knows she provides a much needed service to many Sailors and Marines through the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. As a volunteer Caseworker and Budget Counselor for NMCRS at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Driscoll meets with those in the service in need of assistance to develop financial spending plans or secure short-term loans for basic necessities. “I have met one-on-one with hundreds of military personnel, and many of them have never had anyone sit down with them and explain basic financial concepts,” she said. “Many of them did not have good financial role models. Financial counseling provides them with the information that could enable them to have a better quality of life.” A private non-profit charitable organization, NMCRS was founded in 1904 and operates 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases throughout the world. The group’s mission is to provide financial, educational, and other assistance to members of the Naval Services and their families (it all began helping widows and orphans of servicemen). Now, in addition to financial counseling, interest-free loans and

grants are provided, along with scholarships and interest-free loans for education. Driscoll, 45, is one of more than 3,600 trained volunteers assisting NMCRS worldwide. “I became involved in 2005 at the urging of my neighbors in Hawaii, who also volunteered,” said Driscoll. “I started as a receptionist, and moved to casework relatively soon thereafter. In 2008 I was awarded a fellowship form the National Military Family Association to become an Accredited Financial Counselor (professional training that she completed earlier this year, and enables her to further educate clients on making better financial choices and planning for their future). She also is responsible for maintaining records of volunteer time and training for NMCRS Miramar, but doesn’t really

“We feel blessed with the life we have been given and are happy to give of our time, talent, and treasures to help those around us” ~ Kristin Driscoll consider the work a burden. “We are a Navy family and are staunch supporters of the members of our military and their families,” said Driscoll, who moved to Rancho Penasquitos four years ago with her husband, Capt. Pete Driscoll USN (a Navy Surface Warfare Officer currently serving as Commander, Destroyer Squadron SEVEN), and daughter, Brigid (now 9). “We try to bloom where we are planted. Knowing that our time

facebook.com/92129magazine

in a particular area can be very short, we try to make a positive impact wherever we are sent.” That attitude explains why Driscoll is not only a supporter of the NMCRS, but a variety of other causes and organizations, including:

• Sunset Hills Elementary School PTA, where she serves as historian and volunteers in other on-campus activities.

• American Field Services, for which she serves as a liaison

providing support and information for a German exchange student. • Navy Officers Spouses Club. • Girls Scouts, serving as assistant troop leader and “Camping Mom” – primarily handling the administrative responsibilities. • Susan G. Komen for the Cure, participating as a Training Walk Leader, coordinating and leading walks for participants in training to complete the three-day, 60-mile walk (the back-to-back walks she led ranged from 6-15 miles each). Also involved in St. Michael’s Church in Poway, Driscoll previously volunteered for several entities in Honolulu, where she lived prior to moving to PQ – including the Friends of the Fleet and Family Support Center and the USS Hopper Family Readiness Group. “We feel blessed with the life we have been given and are happy to give of our time, talent, and treasures to help those around us,” she noted. “Pay it forward.” ¢

Sarver Brings Media Expertise, Marketing Knowledge to 92129 Magazine

A

San Diego area marketing veteran is the new Executive Director of Business Development for 92129 Magazine. In the new position, SB Sarver will consult directly with the area’s business community on how best to increase their customer base and create new revenues by utilizing the publication and other multi-media products and services. “We are extremely excited to have Sarver as part of the 92129 Magazine team,” said Publisher Derrick Breaux, who recently announced the staff addition. “Her extensive experience, creative marketing skills, and market knowledge will greatly benefit the business community and assist in their future growth.” Most recently Sarver was San Diego County Regional Manager for Dyson Media, a Los Angeles-based national media and publishing company – where she was primarily focused on working with businesses in Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo and Carmel Mountain. She also previously was executive producer and host of the San Diego real estate show “Homes2TV”, filmed on location throughout the region and featuring advertising-styled interviews with business owners. Sarver feels her wide-ranging media and marketing background will provide additional growth opportunities for local businesses.

“I’m excited to bring my expertise to this fine organization and look forward to reaching out to our thriving community and neighboring cities as we grow together,” Sarver said. “From the moment I picked up 92129 Magazine, I knew it was something special. The quality and content of this publication is very appealing to me – not only from a consumer standpoint, but also as an industry insider.” Sarver previously lived in Scripps Ranch and currently resides in 4S Ranch. She is the mother of two sons attending Poway Unified School District schools. And she is heavily involved in community activities. In addition to supporting the Boys & Girls Club and Little League programs, she serves as a board member and handles public relations for the Monterey Ridge Educational Foundation. ¢

:::: STUDENT STARS

On and Off the Court

Internal Drive, Basketball Family Inspire Austin Fox to Succeed

Editor’s Note: Originally, 92129 Magazine planned to feature Austin Fox, pictured above, as this issue’s “Student Star”; however, after talking to him, it became clear that separating him from his basketball experiences was difficult. While Fox’s personal accomplishments and drive to succeed are evident by reading this article, it’s clear that the Westview High School basketball team and coach are important and integral elements affecting Fox’s life.

asketball is Austin Fox’s first love. “It has been my passion since I was 2 years old, the Westview High School senior said. “My Mom used to carry around a portable hoop and a basketball everywhere we went and I used to count the basketball hoops when she took me for walks in the stroller.” And through basketball, Austin said he learned about the importance of teamwork, on and off the court. So last month, for the second consecutive year, Austin and his Westview basketball teammates gave back to society – volunteering to help build houses for the San Diego Habitat for Humanity organization. Westview High School Head Basketball Coach Kyle Smith said it was Austin who brought the idea to him to utilize as a team-building exercise. “He was interested in volunteering for Habitat for Humanity on his own (last year),” Smith said. “Austin, along with his Mom, presented me with the idea of having the team volunteer. I enthusiastically agreed because I was looking for a team building activity and a way to give back to the community. This was a perfect way to do both.” “Last year’s experience with Habitat for Humanity was very memorable for our basketball team,” Smith said. “The boys put in some hard work on a site in National City. In the end they were very tired but also extremely gratified by having the chance to give back. We ended up taking the lessons of discipline, service to others and teamwork from this experience and applied it to our season. It brought our team closer together but at the same time put the game of basketball into perspective.” December 2010 | January 2011

92129magazine.com


According to Austin, last year’s experience with Habitat for Humanity helped the team become Valley League champions. “In one day we were able to accomplish a job that would have taken the organization a week to accomplish,” Austin explained. “Because our team was united, we experienced a lot of success on the court. As a member of this family, I was inspired to give my best effort every practice and every game and I found myself working as hard as I possibly could to make our team stronger. I noticed that all my teammates had a similar attitude. The results were amazing. Because we were a united family working together we accomplished more than we possibly could have individually.” Both Austin and Smith expect a similar enthusiasm this year, again starting with the home-building team effort. In November, the team worked on eight attached homes in National City. Son of John and Mary Fox of Rancho Penasquitos, Austin is one of four senior Westview basketball players who have played together in the same programs for seven years – along with Coach Smith, who was part of the coaching staffs for those teams as well. Austin, JJ Woodward, Alyosha Ezhevsky, and Brian McWilliam all participated in the Wolverine Club program from fifth through eighth grades. Then they all played on the freshman basketball team at Westview High School together. McWilliams took a year off to play golf, but now all four are together again on the same team. All four boys plan to attend college: Woodward hopes to play basketball and major in marine biology; Ezhevsky will attend Cal State San Marcos, studying kinesiology; and McWilliams expects to play basketball, secure a degree in math or teaching, and one day become a high school coach. Utilizing his interest in math, Austin wants to study computer, electrical or mechanical engineering. While Austin has received many honors connected to basketball (“standout player” in several tournaments; named to the San Diego Union-Tribune’s All Academic team last year; etc.), he feels his biggest honors were being named to the Fraternity of Academic and Civic Excellence – which recognizes the top 25 students at local high schools – the National Honor Society (he has a 4.36 grade point average), the California Scholarship Federation, and becoming an AP Scholar with Distinction (for scoring a five on six AP examinations). Austin’s involvement with the Habitat for Humanity organization is not his only community involvement. He also served as a youth retreat leader, a basketball camp volunteer, and assisted in feeding the homeless. And, while he loves basketball – it’s not his only athletic interest. He played volleyball at Westview for two years, before opting to focus on basketball, and enjoys surfing and snowboarding. So from where did the 17-year-old get his drive and inspiration? “As I have grown up, there have been a number of people in my life that I have seen succeeding and working hard: my parents, grandparents, cousins, teachers, coaches, friends…I think I have watched all these people around me and this motivated and inspired me,” Austin said. “My Mom says I have an internal drive that has made me challenge myself. I agree with that. I always strive to do the best I can at whatever I am doing.” But when it comes to basketball, he credits Coach Smith with encouraging him to be successful and have a good attitude. “A quote by Charles R. Swindoll given to me by Coach Smith facebook.com/92129magazine

explains it best, ‘We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes’,” Austin noted. “Being a part of the basketball team has helped shape who I am as a person. It has given me a new positive attitude towards life and has inspired me to always give 100 percent in everything I do, no matter what it is.”

Kyle Smith Professional Profile • Current Head Varsity Basketball Coach, Westview High School (second year) • In first season (2009-10) finished with a record of 20-10, earned a Valley League title and reached the semifinals of the Division 2 CIF Championship • Attended Mt.

San Diego Habitat for Humanity

S

an Diego Habitat for Humanity (SDHFH) is a nonprofit, ecumenical, Christian-based organization that builds simple, decent, and affordable homes for ownership by local families in need. SDHFH welcomes everyone of all faiths or no faith to join our efforts in strengthening families, neighborhoods, and communities. San Diego Habitat for Humanity is one of 2,100 active affiliates in 92 countries, including all 50 states. It is an autonomous nonprofit organization, responsible for its own construction, family selection, fundraising, and volunteer programs. SDHFH builds homes with donations of money, materials, and labor. Families qualify for the habitat program based on their ability to repay the mortgage, need for improved housing, and the willingness to partner with SDHFH through “sweat equity” by helping to build their own homes. Families purchase their homes through zero-profit, zero-interest mortgages. To make its vision of affordable housing a reality, SDHFH seeks volunteers to help in accomplishing the goal of ending substandard housing. For more information, visit www.sdhfh.org or contact volunteer coordinator John Pulliam at 619-283-4663, ext. 316 or johnp@sdhfh.org.

ue to the diversity of San Diego County, this is a rare area in the nation where one can observe birds in four distinct bird habitats (Coastal; Inland Foothills, Canyons and Lakes; Mountains; and Deserts). Perhaps surprising to some, more than 480 species of birds can be observed in the San Diego region – more than any other county in the U.S. And three of the prime bird watching spots in the area happen to be in or very close to 92129:

Wren, White-tailed Kite, Osprey, Golden Eagle, Sage Sparrow, and Spotted Sandpiper. Depending upon the time of year, additional species seen include: Loggerhead Shrike, American Kestrel, Cooper’s Hawk, Eared Grebe, American White Pelican, Canada Goose, Couble-crested Cormorant, Egrets/Herons, Turkey Vulture, Forster’s Tern, Bonaparte’s Gull, Greater Roadrunner, White-throated Swift, Lesser Goldfinch, Belted Kingfisher, Swallows (various), Cassin’s Kingbird, Bewick’s Wren, Wrentit, and Hummingbirds.

Lake Hodges:

Blue Sky Ecological Preserve:

Park at Joslyn Senior Center, 18402 West Bernardo Drive on the Rancho Bernardo side of the lake, and follow the moderate trails toward the lake. Most often birds observed at the site include Western and Clark’s Grebes (often seen performing their mating dance on the lake in early spring), California and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, the coastal race of Cactus December 2010 | January 2011

Located in Poway (drive east on Rancho Bernardo Drive, then right on Espola; entrance is on the left). Birds most often observed include Hawks, Turkey Vultures, Warblers and Neotropicals.

Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve:

As most locals know, the entrance to the preserve is on Black Mountain 92129magazine.com


Road south of Highway 56 – but many may not realize the abundance of wildlife often seen. Birds most often found within the preserve include the Acorn Woodpecker, Whitetailed Kite (nesting), Golden-crowned and White-crowned Sparrows (winter), Blue Grosbeak, (summer), Nuttall’s Woodpecker, and Western Bluebird. Grasshopper Sparrows are possible on the grassy hillside to the left coming from the east and in the grassy areas at the west end of the canyon. Also observed, depending upon the season: Great-horned Owl, Red-tailed Hawk, Lazuli Bunting, Bullock’s Oriole, Black-headed Grosbeak, Common Snipe, Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Mallard ducks, and other Western migrants.

Much of the popularity of birding is due to the fact that little equipment is needed It’s estimated that more than 60 million Americans watch or observe wild birds on a regular or semi-regular basis – often while hiking, picnicking, camping or during some other related activity. Much of the popularity is due to the fact that little equipment is needed; typically a pair of binoculars or spotting scope and some type of identification guide is all that is required to truly enjoy the activity. More advanced birders often keep a “life list” of species observed in the outdoors, including the date and location of each siting. ¢

about the chef Monica Knufman’s recipe is a spin on an old version of almond biscotti, but adapted due to her family’s love of anything lemon-flavored. While she has enjoyed baking for years, it previously was birthday cakes for her children or Christmas cookie plates as gifts – but, at the urging of family and friends, she started making wedding and special occasion cakes for others this year. She prides herself in making a great-tasting cake that, though simple, is beautiful. A PQ resident since 1971, Knufman and her husband, Arne, have three children: Rebecca, 24, who is married and living with and caring for Monica’s mother (known as “Babba” in the community); Caasy, 22, married and expecting the Knufman’s first grandchild soon; and Travis, a 7th grader at Maranatha School.

hen Mark and Tina Waters moved from Denver to Rancho Penasquitos more than seven years ago, it was all about family – giving their two boys a chance to live near extended family before they were older being a primary factor. Mark, a San Diego area native, also wanted to be near the ocean (he’s a surfer). Tina wanted really good schools for her children – and wanted a centrally-located community with a San Diego address for a unique new educational program she hoped to launch. PQ, it turned out, was the perfect fit on all levels for them. “We love that Rancho Penasquitos is a safe, family-oriented community in a good school district that really focuses on their community,” Tina said. “Our boys (Dylan, age 12, is a 7th grader at Mesa Verde Middle School; and Zachery, age 9, is a 3rd grader at Sundance Elementary School) just love their neighborhood, schools and access to friends and extended family.” And everyone has fit nicely into a family-based Southern California lifestyle.

eral contractor of H2O’s Construction Group – a construction company involved in building and remodeling homes in the area – also coaches in the Rancho Penasquitos Little League, a travel baseball team – and a sprinkling of football and basketball teams at times. Both sons currently play baseball and football, with Dylan also competing with a travel team. Zachary has performed in several productions with the Poway-based community theater company MET 2, including Beauty and the Beast, Suessical the Musical and the Wizard of Oz. “If fact, Zachary starred in a short SAG film this summer in New York City, where he spent the month of July,” Tina noted. “The film “Sea Legs”, written and directed by our very talented cousin Amanda – who graduated from NYU Film School and has had a very productive and eclectic career in film production at only 27 years old.” The film is still in the editing process. Tina obviously is supportive and participates whole-heartedly in the boys’ activities, but she also has a personal passion: She founded and is Executive Director of a non-profit, community-based social behavior after-school program for children and teenagers diagnosed with autism.

Ribbon cutting ceremony at the Community Coaching Center on October 8th.

“Earlier in 2010, after a year of financial woes from budget cuts, we opened up our second Community Coaching Center site here in Rancho Penasquitos – as there is such a need for a community-based program for school aged kids with ASD, particularly the underserved teenage population,” said Tina, who has an M.A. degree in Teaching with a Specialization in Autism. “CCC provides a goal oriented, community-based instruction and inclusion curriculum focusing on building, transitioning, and generalizing skills across multiple environments under a variety of naturally occurring conditions. CCC facilitates the development of meaningful relationships with peers both within the program and out in the community, utilizing a variety of individually established evidence-based practices

in the field of autism. By providing structured, collaborative community access with supported behavioral and social interactions for our program participants, CCC offers first-hand autism education and inclusion opportunities to our greater San Diego community.” Tina, representing CCC, is a member of the Developmental Disabilities Provider Network (DDPN), The San Diego and Imperial County Developmental Services Inc., Vendor Advisory Committee (VAC), and Area Board XIII Committee for Autism. CCC achieved the Health Heros Award in 2008 from the Combined Health Agencies and the San Diego Autism Society. In addition, recently, she was a presenter at the Back to School Autism and Asperger’s Conference in Pasadena. Before family, Tina – who grew up in Cedarberg, Wis., near Milwaukee – was an avid traveler who lived abroad for three years. During that time she also did some choreography work for a small modern dance troupe based in Paris and Berlin. For Mark and Tina, their move to PQ was the perfect one for everyone. With the availability of year-round youth sports and other activities, proximity to the Pacific waves, and the success of H2O’s Construction Group and CCC, it’s worked well for the couple, the boys – and even the extended family already living in the San Diego area. “Dylan and Zachery are the only grandkids on this side of the family,” Tina said. “So can you say spoiled?” ¢ Know a family that should be profiled in 92129 Magazine?

:::: IN THE SPOTLIGHT

It’s All About Saving Lives Motion Skills’ Innovative Driver Training Program Strives to Close Gap in DMV Licensing Process

C

hristy and Kris Rolfson were inspired by a real-life experience when they opened Motion Skills earlier this year. “The idea to start the company came after watching every parent’s nightmare come true – when our son received his driver’s license, even though he had no knowledge of driving beyond the answers to state laws and basic driving rules,” Christy said. “While our son could pass a multiple choice test regarding driving, we knew that it did not accurately reflect his safety and skill as a driver.” That gap they identified in driver education being presented to teenagers – missing any practical knowledge to be applied to their actual driving technique – put emphasis on the importance of the new enterprise. And it also gave rise to their most important goal for Motion Skills: Saving lives. Motion Skills, at its centrally-located San Diego facility off Miramar Road, provides professional education and training services to automobile drivers, including expert instruction on how to reduce accidents, increase fuel economy, avoid traffic citations, handle emergency driving situations, take care of mechanical breakdowns, save money, and minimize potential injury. But this is not just another driving school; instead, Motion Skills is a revolutionary concept. “First, we do not focus on the laws and rules that driving schools must concentrate on for their customers to pass the licensing tests. Motion Skills specifically targets the critical issues that affect driving,” Christy said.

Features/Services: • Driving safety sessions for middle, high school students. • Comprehensive training in the safety of our facility (no vehicle driving). • Hands-on learning, utilizing a specialized simulator, providing instruction on both driving safety and motor vehicle maintenance so students learn: • 10 ways to reduce accidents • How to change a tire, jump start a car • 3 quick ways to increase MPG and save the environment • How to call for roadside assistance • Ways to reduce traffic tickets • Reasons not to text while driving.

“And, second, we provide both pre- and post-DMV license training. Preparing students prior to licensing places key information into their long-term memory, giving them the advantage when going through the DMV process. This, coupled with the post-DMV license training provides the foundation for a lifetime of skills aimed at safe driving.” A special simulator – developed specifically to help teach and retain the skills learned – is integral to the training program at Motion Skills. Christy Rolfson grew up in Rancho Penasquitos, graduated from San Diego State University, and has worked in the biotech industry for the last 20 years. Her husband, Kris, grew up in Rancho Bernardo and has worked in the area since graduating college. While Kris spent many years as an engineer, he always found time to race in go-karts, cars, offroad, and motocross – and the past eight years has focused teaching in public schools and as a youth minister at Cloud-

break Church in 4S Ranch. While Christy handles the management at Motion Skills, Kris leads the instruction. “Over the years Kris has been passionate about racing and the engineering of automobiles and brings to the business an accumulated sense of knowledge and lessons learned from practical experience behind the wheel,” Christy noted. “Kris’s years teaching in public school and youth ministry provides the knowledge to connect with teens and to be an effective instructor when it comes to classroom education, comprehension, and retention.” Motion Skills provides instruction at both the middle school and high school levels: the two-hour session for • During middle school students, participants

have a hands-on learning experience designed to set them up for success when going through the DMV licensing process – while also building safe driving habits early on. High school students spend three hours learning how to avoid mistakes that can lead to accidents, injury, high insurance rates and even death. In addition to time with the simulator, participants will interact with the instructor, multimedia and relevant props to learn critical skills – and also spend time in the mechanics area learning how to manage real-life situations such as fixing a flat tire, jump starting a car, checking oil level, and more.

And due to the goal of saving lives, Motion Skills programs spend considerable time teaching the benefits of reducing distractions while driving. “Motion facebook.com/92129magazine

The middle school session is $49 (and allows for a 10% discount on the future high school session). The high school session is $239, which includes a six-month follow-up training session and a year of free texting updates (and a 10% discount is available when signing up with a friend). “The bottom line is that our skills save lives and we seek to educate drivers with skills through training not found anywhere else,” Christy said, noting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now ranks motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death for teens. “Motion Skills offers a chance to learn critical, relevant, driving-related skills in a caring environment that lasts for a lifetime.” Christy also believes Motion Skills provides “a beacon of hope” to parents with teenagers about to get behind the wheel of a car on San Diego area roads and highways. “Life is too short to take it carelessly,” she said. “Get your license through the DMV, but come to us for a lifetime of safe driving.” For additional information on Motion Skills and its innovative teen driver training programs, visit www.MotionSkills.com or call 858-240-4349. ¢ 92129 Magazine

Mesa Verde Girl Scouts Receive Bronze Award

Five 6th grade Girl Scouts from Troop 8420 at Mesa Verde Middle School recently completed a special project to receive the Bronze Award, the highest honor that can be earned by a Junior Girl Scout. For the project, each girl sewed a quilt that was then donated to the Linus Project, an organization that donates quilts and blankets to children who are seriously ill or traumatized (providing them with love and a sense of security, warmth and comfort). After planning their design and purchasing materials, the five girls – Bethany Ward, Kara Miller, Lily Rongey, Annie Vu, and Natalie Wong – worked three to four hours each weekend for about six weeks. The girls were guided by parent Cathy Rongey, but the scouts did all of the planning, cutting and sewing. ~submitted by Janice Miller Pictured are (left to right): Natalie Wong, Annie Vu, Lily Rongey, Kara Miller and Bethany Ward, who is holding a quilt that was made and donated by all of the troop members.

Rancho Penasquitos Library Offers Technology, New Services

R

ancho Penasquitos Library – part of the San Diego Library system – first opened a 2,700 sq. ft. temporary facility in PQ in 1984. Today the local library facility is more than 20,000 sq. ft. and has a staff of 11 and serves residents throughout the 92129 Zip Code area. Branch Manager Barbara Schwartz answered questions from 92129 Magazine about the local library, its history, and some of its unique programs for residents in the community.

Below: Barbara Schwartz Branch Manager of the Rancho Penasquitos Library.

Q&A with the Branch Manager Barbara Schwartz 92129 Question: How did the library facility in Rancho Penasquitos come to be? What is its history? Schwartz: The area of Rancho Penasquitos had huge growth between 1970 and 1990. Once the developer purchased the land, it exploded with homes. In 1971 there were only 2,000 residents. By 1984, the population grew to 24,000 and there were more than 8,000 homes. Because of this explosion of population, a library was something everyone wanted and needed in the community. 92129 Question: Can you describe the biggest changes in the library today compared to when it first opened? Schwartz: The influx of technology is the biggest change. There were not any computers in the library in 1992 and today, it’s a must. The social media aspect has become really big as well, so the need for computers and technology is so important. The PQ branch was the first to pilot a blog for the library.

92129 Question: How does the branch measure patronage? Schwartz: Door count, and in 2010 we’ve had 240,806 through the door. We also experienced 9,503 people attending programs at the library, and 28,943 Internet signups. 92129 Question: How do the numbers compare to a year or two ago? Schwartz: Our 2009 door count was 254,497; our program attendance was 12,536; and our Internet signups were 30,003. The library’s numbers are down in 2010 due to the city’s budget constraints and the reduced hours the facility is open. 92129 Question: How do these statistics compare to the other San Diego Library branches? Schwartz: Rancho Penasquitos Library is in the top 10

overall. Internet signups are not as high as other branches; it’s thought this may be because visitors to this branch largely have their own computers. 92129 Question: How large is the library staff? Schwartz: We have 11 people at the PQ library. 92129 Question: Can you describe some the technological advancements the library has experienced? Schwartz: We now have self-service checkout, computers and more than 60 electronic databases in the e-collection. In addition we have various electronic resources for children, including live tutors utilizing online whiteboards and live chats (“Got Homework”). The library also features “Question Point”, with 24-hour reference access, and a “Text Your Librarian” program. 92129 Question: How large is the library’s collection? Schwartz: The PQ library has 100,000 items in its collection, with access to the entire San Diego Library system of books, periodicals, e-resources, e-books, DVDs, and CDs. 92129 Question: What is the service philosophy or goals of the branch library? Schwartz: We try to provide the most services and programs, considering budget constraints. We also strive for quality programming and staying in touch with the rapid growth of technology.

92129 Magazine

92129 Question: How is the Rancho Penasquitos Library funded? Schwartz: We are funded through the general fund of the city of San Diego. 92129 Question: Does the library need volunteers? How does one get involved? Schwartz: Of course we need volunteers! Anyone who wants to volunteer, you can visit the library website and go to “Volunteer Match” using the “I want to” link. 92129 Question: What service does the library provide the community that most residents don’t know about? Schwartz: The foreign language collection is very rich; we have Persian, Chinese, and Hindi collections. Also “Job Start” on the library website, which is a compilation of local job opportunities. 92129 Question: How does a local resident get a library card? Schwartz: You can apply online, which gives you temporary card that is good for 14 days. Simply visit the library in person and show proof of residency to get permanent card. 92129 Question: What additional information do you want to give us on the Rancho Penasquitos Library? Schwartz: The library is a hidden treasure in the city. We suggest people check out the treasures at their library. ¢


Friends of the Library Provides Extra Funds, Support to PQ Library

W

ell before the current library was constructed in 1992, the Rancho Penasquitos Friends of the Library was organized and working diligently to raise additional funding for services and programs. Today, it raises about $17,000 each year to ensure special needs are met for the community’s residents at the library. “The purpose of the Friends of the Library group is to provide the widest and best possible service to the Rancho Penasquitos Library,” said President Larry Olson. “The organization is empowered to conduct fundraising events, operate a fulltime book store and provide financial support for the library system.” Friends of the Library in PQ currently has 130 members paying annual dues, and 31 current volunteers operating in the Book Nook – which sells donated used books to the public (along with some recorded media and craft items). The group also raises funds for the library through direct donations, membership dues and the sale of book bags and gifts. “Funding from Friends of the Li-

Unique training, skilled instruction highlight Danceology’s ballet program

D D

Danceology Performing Arts Campus in 4S Ranch offers one of the most unique Youth Ballet Programs available, providing instructional lessons to recreational students through advanced pre-professional dancers. For ages 6 to 18 years, Danceology’s ballet instructors offer seven levels of training and all follow a similar format using the Vaganova Method, which is a Russian technique that originated in St. Petersburg. “The top two levels are structured specifically for the advanced pre-professional dancer who is looking to dance professionally or be a dance major in college,” said Elena Baltovick, ballet program director for Danceology. “Danceology’s graduating seniors of 2010 and previous dancers attended such colleges at SUNY Purchase in New York, UC Irvine, UC Berkley, Chapman University, UNLV and many more.” Baltovick began studying classical ballet at the age of nine in her native Kiev, Ukraine. She studied at the National Choreographic Ballet School of Ukraine and danced with National Theatre of Opera and Ballet. She arrived in the U.S. in 1992 to continue her study of the Vaganova Method with the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts in Connecticut, graduating with honors in 1994. In 1998, Baltovick graduated cum laude from the University of Hartford´s Hartt School of Music and Ballet Pedagogy with the School of the Hartford Ballet. Her repertoire includes The Nutcracker, Don 34

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.

:::: FINANCIAL SPOTLIGHT

Put Your Child on Track for College by Chris Jalonen

E

ver since your child’s first steps, you’ve thought about college. But you see costs rise every year, even at state schools. Meanwhile, there’s preschool, piano lessons and soccer cleats to pay for. Yet each year thousands of students graduate from college. How do their parents do it? How can you make that happen for your child? The first challenge is getting accepted. Here’s an example of what your child is up against: About 57,000 students applied to UCLA this year. Nearly half had GPAs of 4.0 or better. Fewer than 1 in 10 got in.*

To boost your child’s chances: • Arrange for your student to meet with a school counselor starting in ninth grade to plan courses required by colleges. • Support your child in taking AP or honors courses. • Encourage involvement in the community, especially activities that carry into college. • Steer toward private schools if your child is stronger in liberal arts. • Combine family vacations with college visits starting in the sophomore year. Be sure and schedule a meeting with the Admissions Officer.

To make sure the money will be there: • Explore scholarships beyond the obvious. One million kids play football at U.S. high schools. Of those, 29,000 receive scholarships, averaging less than $13,000. The money is in Division III schools, in less popular sports. Ever consider rowing? • Fill out the Cal Grant and FAFSA forms when your student is a senior. • Start a college fund and encourage relatives to give donations instead of just toys. • Contact an investment professional to set up a fund that’s right for you. Many age-based portfolios can be too aggressive. You can’t afford a big setback as your child enters college. ¢ *www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/stat.htm

:::: TRAVEL | VACATIONS

The Perfect Family Vacation? Daveys combine travel, surfing with humanitarian effort

D

r. Brian Davey DDS and his wife Lisa took their two children on a memorable trip to Indonesia earlier in 2010 – one that combined some of the family’s passions with the opportunity to give back to humanity and the world. It was a trip the couple had made once before on their 15th wedding anniversary, to one of the poorest islands in the sprawling nation. Sumba is in eastern Indonesia, about 11,000 square kilometers in size, and has more than 600,000 people – most of whom suffer from malaria (and where the infantile death rate is dramatically high). “Last year we were looking for a vacation with both meaning and adventure,” Lisa said. “We wanted a trip that we could combine our passions of surfing and travel, and our skills to give something back. Brian had an article from 2002 that inspired us to visit Indonesia, where the Sumba Foundation had a malaria clinic that had some basic dental supplies that they could make available to visiting dentists to volunteer some time to help the people in the local villages. It was perfect.” So in September this year, the couple packed up 11-year-old daughter MacKenzie and 9-year-old son Brendan and headed back. “MacKenzie is a Girl Scout and was starting her Silver Award Project. Since it was her desire to research malaria and she tied it into our trip and contacted the Sumba Foundation (an organization committed to fostering village-based projects that impact health, education, water and income-generation while respecting the fragile culture and traditions of the Sumbanese people) to see what she could do. She then proceeded to raise money to purchase malaria nets,” Lisa said. “While we were on our trip, she was able to learn about the effects of malaria firsthand and personally provide malaria nets to two entire villages. It was an amazing experience and she will continue her efforts during this year.” Not only did Brian – whose dental practice is in Torrey Highland Village Center – and the family provide basic dental services while on the island, the also participated in an ecological release of sea turtles; learned about local crafts on the island, such as basket weaving and blanket weaving; played with local children at their schools; and visted several local village markets. And they also surfed. “It was a wonderful trip and we look forward to going back again next year!” said Lisa. ¢

ow much water does a lawn in the Inland North San DiOCT 88 ego County require to stay NOV 54 healthy and thrive? DEC 42 During a recent discussion with a group of local residents, it was obvious a wide range of opinions exists on the amount of daily moisture necessary. But the University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources developed some recommendations, designed to ensure the appropriate amount of watering occurs – which makes for better lawns, and conserves precious resources. These techniques are designed to help residents set up timed irrigation controllers correctly. Here are the simple steps to take:

1. Determine what type of lawn you have. While many landscapers in the area utilize tall fescue, a wide range of grasses – from Kentucky bluegrass to bermudagrass can be found here. Take a sample to a nursery, if you’re unable to determine what’s in your yard. 2. Determine the output of your sprinklers. Simply set out six or more straight-sided containers of the same type, spaced evenly on the lawn (empty tuna cans, cat food cans or coffee mugs work well). Run the sprinklers for 20 minutes and use a ruler to measure (in inches) the depth of the water in each can. Add the depth of the water in each container and divide the total by the number of containers used to determine the “average depth”– which should then be multiplied by three to determine the number of inches of water your sprinkler system applies per hour. 3. Determine how many minutes you should water your lawn each week, using the chart on this page. 42

92129 Magazine

In addition to utilizing the appropriate amount of water on the lawn, here are other recommendations provided by the UC team: • Deeper, less frequent irrigations are best for most lawns, as the technique promotes deeper root growth. But avoid excessive runoff. Slopes or areas with shallow soils usually need several shorter watering times. Many local lawns have cool-season grasses (such as the tall fescue), which usually respond best to more frequent irrigations. • If brown spots occur in the lawn, alter the length of watering and frequency of watering. If the spots continue, check your sprinkler system’s coverage for uniformity. Or check for clogged or broken sprinkler heads and repair (and be sure to repeat the steps to determine your system’s water output). • During periods of unseasonably high rainfall, shut off your irrigation system temporarily to conserve water and take advantage of the unexpected moisture. And extremely dry, hot or windy conditions may require extra irrigation. ¢ Source: University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
