:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Prom... Already?

I

must have been in denial. How could my daughter be old enough to go to prom? Where did the time go? I’m pretty sure that my wife and I were walking her into her first day of kindergarten class a couple of years ago. Apparently all of this sort of snuck up on me. How is it possible to have your oldest child go from diapers, to learning how to ride a bike, to having their first slumber party, to going to their prom – all in a few years? Well, that’s certainly how fast it seems that time has gone by in our household! To say that seeing our beautiful daughter all dressed up, smiling and laughing with her longtime friends and their dates, taking pictures, and getting ready to go to their prom had an impact on my wife and I would be an incredible understatement. As it turns out, I believe it was just as much of a coming of age moment for us as it was for our daughter. How in the heck did time go by so fast? Sure, I knew that it was coming. Our daughter’s date did a great job when he asked her to prom (I guess the process of asking someone to prom is a much bigger ordeal than it used to be in my day). My wife and daughter had spent several weeks searching for dresses and preparing for the event. I participated and offered my opinion when they would let me.

Then, out of nowhere, via text message from my wife and daughter, I received “the” photo of the dress that they were about to purchase. She looked beautiful. She looked all grown up. With mixed emotions, I reluctantly texted my approval. Reality check! Doesn’t this mean that I’m getting old too? How in the world did this happen? My wife and I had the privilege of joining a bunch of other parents to take photos of our kids and their prom dates before they all left for the event. We visited with parents that we have known for years. We saw many familiar faces of kids – all dressed to impress – that we have known since early elementary school. There were hugs. There were smiles. There was even an occasional tear as we all looked on and participated – often reflecting back to our own high school years. After seeing the group of kids leave for the evening, my wife and I began our short drive back to our house. We had both realized that our little family that we have nurtured over the years was growing up. As a parent, we know that this is inevitable. We just didn’t expect it to happen quite so fast.

HUNGRY? Head Over to Food Truck Thursdays at Innovations Academy

etween school and sports schedules, getting a healthy and delicious meal on the table can be difficult. Food Truck Thursdays provides a much needed break in the daily scramble to figure out what’s for dinner. “Curbside Bites is a company that organizes food truck events in various neighborhoods around San Diego and Orange Counties. They were looking for a location to serve the Scripps Ranch community and reached out to Innovations Academy as our parking lot is visible from the busy intersection of Scripps Poway Parkway and Spring Canyon Road,” explained Kim Knox of Innovations Academy. Knox is a self-proclaimed fan of local gourmet food trucks and jumped at the chance to partner with Curbside Bites. In exchange for use of the Innovations Academy parking lot and promoting the weekly event to school and community families, Curbside Bites makes a donation to the school. To date, $10,000 has been raised for the public K – 8 charter school. Every Thursday, the food trucks arrive and

begin cooking between 4 and 4:30 p.m. At 5 p.m., customers start congregating around the trucks and the difficult decision of what to order begins. “For the next three hours, there is a constant stream of people coming and going. It’s especially nice in the summertime when the days are long and warm,” stated Knox. During the month of July, the approximately 500 people who attend the event each week will be treated to live music to celebrate not only the arrival of summer, but also the first anniversary of these successful neighborhood gatherings. Curbside Bites schedules six to eight gourmet food trucks each week, with the guarantee that there will be something for every palate. “We’ve had a fantastic selection over the last year, including trucks that specialize in Italian, Thai, Mexican, Louisiana Cajun and American barbecue. Mangia Mangia Mobile Italian Gourmet is one of the favorites. Customers rave about their Italian sausage sandwich and butternut squash ravioli. For those who are looking for a

little dessert, cookies, brownies and cupcakes from some of San Diego’s finest local bakeries are sold on the Sweet Treats truck,” revealed Knox. According to Knox, several of the trucks have been featured on a Food Network reality show. ¢ To find out more about Food Truck Thursdays and to receive weekly listings of the trucks that are scheduled, “Like” the Food Truck Thursdays Facebook page, www.facebook.com/IAFoodTruckThursdays.

The Scripps Ranch Renegades 12U Team and Coach John Schumacher are Making the Trip to Cooperstown by kathy loy | photos by Spark Photography

Team

These days, playing baseball isn’t as simple as it was in the past. As kids get older and progress up the various levels in Little League, some will join teams that are expensive and highly competitive. The current Scripps Ranch Renegades 12U team was started several years ago by Coach John Schumacher, a local dad who knew a few boys who wanted to play ball. “I’ve never had a tryout and I’ve never cut a player. Instead, I take decent ballplayers from good families and try to keep baseball fun while they improve.” Many boys on the team have been playing baseball for years. “To me what makes this a special team is that we don’t recruit talented players to make us better. Instead we just try to provide a safe and fun environment to keep them playing,” said John. “The theory is that boys on other teams who are pushed harder and often restricted from playing other sports will burn out around the same time our boys really start to gel.”

z

game

The theory seems to be working. This summer, the 12U Renegades will be traveling to baseball’s most famous city, Cooperstown, NY, to compete in the Cooperstown Dreams Park and American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament. During the week of Aug. 24, the boys will play at least seven games against teams from around the country. This experience will undoubtedly be filled with memory making events .To help offset the expenses (estimated at around $4,000 per family) the team has been fundraising. They’ve done bake sales, raffles, yard sales and are also actively seeking corporate and individual sponsors. “Donating is as simple as sending a check made out to Scripps Ranch Renegades at 11369 Belladonna Way, San Diego, CA 92131,” said John. “We’ll provide a receipt for tax purposes and will also include a sponsor plaque for donations over $100.”

coach

Anyone who coaches a team quickly learns about the time and dedication that is required. “By far the most rewarding part is seeing these kids continue to excel not only on a baseball field, but in school, other sports and other endeavors,” he said. “It’s also rewarding to see them able to compete with teams that recruit players all over town and charge a lot of money.” And he doesn’t just care about what they do on the field. “My role is to keep the kids interested in baseball and covertly pass along lessons on how to be a good person,” said John. 

WHAT A BOWL Lake Hodges Bowls Club is Revived and Thriving by Wynne Love | photos by Spark Photography

Lake Hodges Bowls Club To promote the sport of bowls and the spirit of fellowship, good sportsmanship and friendly rivalry among its members. www.lakehodgesbowlsclub.com; hodgesbowls@gmail.com Tuesday & Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 9:30 a.m. When established, the youth league will play on Sunday mornings.

here's some fierce competition brewing at the Lake Hodges Bowls Club, but you may not have noticed. Club President, Georgie Deno described: "As we embarked on our effort to revive the LHBC, the most frequent comments we heard from people in the community were that they had never heard of lawn bowls or that they didn’t even know we were here." So Georgie Deno and her Vice President, Melanie Vizenor have spent the last year working to change that. Never played lawn bowling yourself? As Georgie explained, "The object is to roll an elliptical ball (called a bowl) down the green toward a small white ball, called the 'jack,' and land closer than your opponent. Where it gets tricky," Georgie added, "is in the arc that the bowl takes in arriving at its destination." The Lake Hodges Bowls Club, or LHBC, manages two greens in the Rancho Bernardo Community Park, including the only lighted green in San Diego County. After grant and foundation funds were exhausted last fall, the club was considering closing its doors. "Melanie and I visited the club

premises and were startled at the largely excellent condition of the facility," remembered Georgie. "Basically, all that was needed was members! I looked at Melanie and said, 'We can’t just let this club slip away. How hard do you want to work?' Now the club is thriving, supported wholly by member dues." The LHBC hosts games all year round and welcomes players ages 12 and up. As their website aptly explains, "Neither youth nor strength will help you achieve stardom in the game of bowls. It's a game that relies on consistency of delivery and outsmarting your opponent." Georgie elaborated, "Since bowls is a finesse rather than a strength sport, people of all ages and both genders can, potentially, compete equally with one another." That's just one reason Georgie likes it. "I’ve never been a very athletic person," admitted Georgie, "but here was something that afforded the chance to play a competitive sport and get to know new people." Come on out and join her for a free lesson or host a group event. "We are always happy to welcome people to try bowls," assured Georgie. 

But what is truly unique about Malvyn is his passion for Name: Malvyn Lai playing the piano, and although Age: 8 he may still be small in stature, School: Dingeman Elementary his talent is colossal. Grade: 2nd Following in the footsteps Parents: Chun-Ta Lai & Shiou-Wen Chen of his older sister, Eunice, Siblings: Eunice Lai (13), an 8th grader at Malvyn’s interest in piano Marshall Middle School blossomed at a young age. “I asked my mom for piano lessons when I was four,” he explained. “My parents thought I was too little to start, but I never gave up on asking.” He started lessons when he was just five-years-old, practicing under the guidance of Dr. Bendetsky. “Dr. Bendetsky is an amazing teacher who


has so much passion in music,” said Malvyn. “She inspires me so much.” Malvyn also looks to his mom for support and encouragement. “My mom told me to love when you play and to feel the music with the whole body, not just the finger techniques,” he said. “It is an art, and every piece has its own story. My goal is to explore the message from the music, deliver and share it.” This commitment is undoubtedly the reason for Malvyn’s many achievements. He has received third place in the American Protégé International Piano and String Competition 2013, second place in the Southern California Mozart My mom told me to love when you Festival 2013 and participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research play and to feel the music with the whole body, not just the finger Foundation in the San Diego fundraising piano concert event techniques; it is an art, and every for 2011 and 2012. He also received an Honorable Mention piece has its own story.” from San Diego Piano Concerto Competitions in 2012 and 2013 where he was the youngest participant. His latest and perhaps most exciting accomplishment came when he was invited to play at New York City’s Carnegie Hall after one of his competitions… and it just happened to be on his eighth birthday. “I played Golliwog’s Cake Walk by Debussy,” recalled Malvyn. “I was a little nervous on the back stage while waiting for my turn to perform. The concert was very formal and there was a larger audience compared to my regular recitals. Once I started to play, I could only hear the sound of my music. The sound of the piano was so amazing and clear to me. I played beautifully and felt so proud afterwards.” 

About the Chef Chef’s Name: Andrew Eastwell About the Chef: I am responsible for preparing all the wonderful healthy food at New Generations Learning Center (NGLC). I have been married for ten years to my gorgeous wife Kelly. We also have a charmer of a son, Charlie. We all are originally from England. Growing up I was lucky enough to have a Nan who was very active in the community. Not only was she a good seamstress but was also a very good cook, and she was always cooking and baking for others. I owe it to my Nan for what I do and I have some of the best memories of cooking with her in her old brick house near London. I pursued my passion as I grew older taking Home Economics at secondary school and then on to college, where I completed a Hotel Management, Restaurant and Catering course. This then took me to France where I lived and worked and studied at College Maryse Bastie for two years in the Champagne region of Reims. After moving back to England, I worked at The The Royol Albion Hotel, a restaurant in the coastal seaside resort at Broadstairs near where Charles Dickens lived. After working my way through the brigade and becoming second chef I left to become head chef of a renowned village pub called The Bell Inn were I stayed for 14 years. Since moving to San Diego, my family and I have enjoyed the warmer climate by going to the beach and trying water sports we would have never done in England; but our favorite place is Miramar Lake for long walks, picnics and feeding the ducks. About the Recipe: At NGLC, we are all about healthy eating, so I chose to add these Vegan Lemon Chia Seed Muffins into our summer menu. They are the perfect summer breakfast! They are sweet and tart, and chia seeds give them an extra boost because just one tablespoon of the seeds are full of fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are just like lemon poppy seeds, but encompass so many more health benefits. The muffins resemble the texture of a moist coffee cake, but not as sweet. The lemon in the muffins provide a burst of zest and the chia seeds add an extra crunch. ¢

he 14th Annual Scripps Ranch Community Fair was a huge success. Community groups, businesses and vendors showcased their services, unique products and crafts to the fairgoers who mingled about the park. Attendees gathered valuable information, gifts, trinkets and learned of new services offered to community members. Those interested in greener living, energy-efficiency and the outdoors were delighted by the extensive Green Street that the Fair hosted. The street was filled with over 20 knowledgeable vendors. Music and entertainment were the highlights of the day for some, while the kids who attended were caught enjoying the rides and handson activities in the Kids’ Zone. Faces were painted with butterflies and soccer balls, crowds were dancing to the music played by Rob the DJ and guests enjoyed taking in the ambiance, cuisines and libations that the day brought. All the daytime fun led to a festive evening filled with tunes offered by Breez’n. The volunteers who put on the event this year certainly went above and beyond. See you next year at the Fair! ¢

Legacy residents since 2005, both Don and Heather volunteer their time to their church, St. James by the Sea, and in a myriad of ways to Scripps Ranch Pop Warner, which named Heather Volunteer of the Year for 2011. All this while Heather works as director of marketing for the software-provider, Upland, Don manages a video production team for Qualcomm, and they run their own event-planning, video and design business, Life's Productions. Heather attributes her love of community in part to her experience after losing her home in the 2003 wildfires. "The support we received from the community blew us away," she recalled. "My son Blake, four at the time, received so many gifts from other children in the area. I, too, received gift cards, donations, letters of sympathy and so many charitable contributions that I became thankful for the fire, thankful that my eyes were opened to what a gracious community I live in and thankful that my son would learn at a young age how to give back when others are in need." Their eldest, Donald, now 23, attends SDSU and his brother Timothy, 17, will join him there this fall. Blake, age 14, plays football and lacrosse and will be a freshman at Westview High School next school year. Peyton, age seven, is a Girl Scout, cheerleader, gymnast and lacrosse player, and loves playing with her little brother Paxton who is just under a year old. With all that activity and both sets of grandparents plus aunts, uncles, god-parents, cousins and close friends all living in the area, Heather and Don continue to make family time a high priority. 

San Diego North Rotary Helps Make a Difference to Needy Children in Baja

San Diego North Rotarians traveled to Ensenada, Mexico in early May to work in the Rotary sponsored clinic, Thousand Smiles Foundation, that provides free dental and surgical procedures for underprivileged children in Baja. The two day clinic is held quarterly and specializes in cleft lip/palate surgery. Many of the children have to have several surgeries over the course of their lives to correct these hereditary problems. Over 100 volunteers, including medical, dental and lay people come from all over California, at their own expense, to make these children well. San Diego North Rotary provided free lunches to the volunteer workers during the clinic. This program is the longest running program of its kind, spanning 26 years, with San Diego North having been involved for the last 20 years.

Scripps Ranch High School Graduate Earns 135 Merit Badges

Patrick Barnsley, 17, a member of Troop 648 in Rancho Peñasquitos, and a recent graduate of Scripps Ranch High School, has achieved a goal that only 201 scouts have ever achieved. He has earned all of the merit badges offered by Boy Scouts. Compared to the more than two million boys who have earned the Eagle rank, this is a rare accomplishment. And according to meritbadgeknot.com, Patrick is one of only six who have earned a total of 135 merit badges including Patrick Barnsley after earning his four Centennial Anniversary last merit badge badges brought back temporarily to celebrate 100 years of Scouting (Signaling, Tracking, Pathfinding and Carpentry), as well as recently added badges including Welding, Search and Rescue, Kayaking and Game Design. Scuba, his last badge earned, was the most difficult and costly because open water scuba certification was required. Additionally, Patrick was the 27th scout in the nation, and the first in San Diego to earn the National Outdoor Achievement Medal, as well as the VFW Scout of the Year Award. He has earned the Kodiak Leadership and Order of the Arrow Brotherhood awards and also recently received the Pope Pius XII Catholic Scouting award. Patrick has served as a Junior Assistant Scout Master for the past three years, and will work at Mataguay Scout Reservation as the Outdoor Program Director this summer before college.

Food That Tastes Good and is Good For You by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Tyler McElhaney

In

2004 Maria and Sean Pourteymour were parents to their then four-year-old child which made finding quick and wholesome meals a top priority. However, finding restaurants that could meet this need turned out to be an unexpected challenge for the couple. It was at this time that Maria – someone who had grown up in the restaurant business, and Sean conceptualized the idea of opening up their own eating establishment. Since Maria was Greek and Sean, Persian, they wanted their restaurant to not only

provide healthier fare served at a faster pace but to also showcase food that symbolized the blend of cultures within their family. And so became Luna Grill, a casual eatery providing Mediterranean and Near East cuisine committed to serving delicious and nutritious meals in a sensible amount of time. Aside from serving the choicest meats and freshest produce, Luna Grill’s philosophy is to make every experience an excellent one – with a focus on quality customer care. “We are only as good as our weakest link,” offered Maria, “therefore each and every team member is key to making your experience exceptional, and we set our standards very high in terms of the quality and caliber of the personnel we hire.” Another component to the success of the business is the quality of food that is served – something, Maria explained, that makes Luna Grill stand out among its competitors. With such popular menu items as the Mediterranean Chicken Salad, the Vegetarian Platter and classic chicken kabobs, the eatery provides quality all-natural ingredients that are prepared to order. “We are SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT


dedicated to finding superior ingredients for our recipes including all-natural, grass fed meats and organic locally harvested ingredients to offer our customers the best possible food at a reasonable price point,” explained Maria. Additionally, the majority of Luna Grill’s daily marinades, dressings and sauces are made from scratch. “You can taste and experience the difference,” she added.

Q&A with Lisa Gorski, President

What is the history behind Scripps Ranch Pop Warner & Cheer (SRPW)? My husband Ron and I started SRPW in 2006 after our son, Ryan had played his first year of football the year before in Mira Mesa. All that season, I was wondering why we didn’t have a Pop Warner football program in Scripps Ranch when we had all of the other youth sports. In January, my husband was asked to be on the Mira Mesa Youth Football (MMYF) board and after attending one meeting, he came home and suggested we start our own league in Scripps Ranch. From there, I googled “San Diego Pop Warner” to see who I could talk to. Savaii Seau, Junior Seau’s brother, who was the Vice Commissioner, called me back and said they would love to have Scripps Ranch in SDPW. He went with me to meet with the high school principal about using their field for our home games. We ran into a snag because MMYF had just signed a contract with Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS) to have their games there. They said they couldn’t have two youth football leagues at the school so I worked with MMYF to go back to Mira Mesa High School (MMHS) so that we could be the feeder program into Scripps Ranch. To me it only made sense that the kids who lived in Scripps Ranch have the opportunity to play football at their neighborhood

high school. After securing the fields, we assembled a group of parents to form our first board of directors, recruited some football coaches who lived in Scripps Ranch to coach our teams and started advertising registration. In our first season, we had over 200 participants; we filled all our teams and had cheer squads for almost every team. It was so exciting and rewarding to see this all come together in one year. We had a great first season.

What is the traditional season? The season begins on Aug. 1 and continues until the middle of November.

What is the mission of the SRPW organization as a whole? SRPW Football and Cheer is committed to excellence: motivating and challenging participants through a partnership of players, cheerleaders, coaches, parents and community. We will treat each child, parent and community volunteer with courtesy, dignity and respect.

What is your role as president? I oversee the league, preside over the monthly board meetings, and I am also responsible for the general supervision, direction and control of the business and affairs of the Association. I attend monthly president’s meetings

36 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2013

where all the president’s and commissioners from the Palomar Conference meet to discuss all aspects of running the conference. I am involved with the hiring of all the head coaches. I oversee our financials, volunteers, fundraisers and player placement as well as all the registration sign-ups, our equipment distributions and returns, the Opening Day event and all of our home games. I am the liason between the high school and our league and am involved with all the vendors and other service providers that we work with to run our program. I work yearround to make our organization the best that it can be.

What’s your main goal? To provide a great experience for our kids to learn football and cheer; to learn teamwork while being a part of a team that prepares them for life as they get older. There are a lot of life lessons that kids learn playing football and cheer. We teach them to never give up, how to be great sports, aspects of working as a

team and the importance of feeling proud for their successes on and off the field. All that the athletes experience in SRPW prepare them for what they will be experiencing when they get older.

What’s the drawing point for a young athlete to want to participate in the organization? Any child can participate in football and cheer if they have the desire. We accept all players and cheerleaders and all kids get a chance to play. Some of the more talented players have more playing time than others, but all kids get the chance to try out for different positions and all players receive a minimum amount of playing time.

How does a business or family sponsor a team? We really appreciate any family or business who would like to be a sponsor. We request that


summer, only to do two hours of hard exercise and not want to quit and go home and lay on the couch. They keep coming out and working hard, trying to get stronger and better at their positions so they can play a game that they love. The other thing that really sets football apart, I think, is the passion that the coaches and parents show for the game. Having been a football parent myself, I know how much I always looked forward to my son’s games and I know that the football games on Saturdays are a highlight for many families each week. Also, for the cheerleaders, they do a lot of conditioning, training and practicing to do their routines with their goal of making it to the national competition in Florida.

Tell us about your coaching staff.

all sponsors support the whole league and not just one particular team. All they have to do is fill out a sponsor form and we will include them on our spirit pack t-shirts, on a banner displayed at our home games, and in our new yearbooks and the newsletter. We also always thank our sponsors during home game announcements.

organization. They just need to let us know what they would like to volunteer for and we can always find a place for them to help out. We always need help with coaching and we always need help on our game days with working in the snack bar and helping to set up and break down on home game days.

Who are the current SRPW sponsors?

What positions are you most in need of filling?

Our sponsors this year are the Scripps Ranch Old Pros, Stanley Steemer, MD Today Urgent Care, Dicks Sporting Goods, Dr. Maulik, Anthony Scoma, DDS, Wahine Kai Shave Ice, Mission Pools, Lennie Fernandez, Miramar Transmission, Biomed, Smart and Final and Sports Authority.

Right now our greatest need is for a head coach for our second flag team, our Pee Wee team and our Jr. Midget team. We also need another head cheer coach and can always use more assistant coaches and cheer trainers on all of our cheer squads.

How does one become a volunteer within the organization? We have many opportunities for people to volunteer with our

Does SRPW hold any fundraisers? If so, please elaborate. We are having an opportunity drawing on Opening Day. All our participants sell raffle tickets to

win some great prizes and the funds are used to supplement our program.

What is the most unique thing about SRPW compared to other programs? I think the thing that sets Pop Warner apart from any other program is that it is a tough sport so it isn’t for everyone. The workouts are tougher than any other sport. My son grew up playing soccer, basketball, Little League, hockey, volleyball and golf; nothing prepared him for the tough workouts that he did once he started football. After you go through 2 ½ hours of grueling exercise, running, push- ups, bear crawls, sit-ups and non-stop conditioning, players go home wiped out and exhausted. It takes a certain type of person to go back out there day in and day out wearing a helmet, shoulderpads and pads in the heat of

We have an excellent coaching staff consisting of dads who either played high school or college football, who are now volunteering their time to teach and coach our players. Each team has a head coach, five assistant coaches, an equipment manager, a business manager, a team parent and they can also have a coach trainee or a team trainer.

What are their credentials and what is the process they go through to be involved? All of our head coaches go through extensive training to be a coach. They need to go through the USA Football training program where they must take a test and pass it to be certified. They also attend mandatory coaches clinics, coaches meetings and attend several optional football camps put on by nearby high schools and colleges. Many coaches also study on their own learning the different positions so they can effectively train all of the players.

Q&A

with MJ Wittman, 2013 Cheer Coordinator

How does one become part of/ register for SRPW cheer? What is the age range? Any child who is between the ages of five and 15 and is interested in football or cheer may register for our association through our website.

What is your role as cheer coordinator? How did you become involved with the organization? I am responsible for the overall running of the organization’s cheer program. I am also a member of the Association Executive Board and I act as a liaison between SRPW and Palomar Conference in matters related to the cheer program. I originally became involved with Pop Warner when my oldest daughter, Caitlin (15), was in 4th grade. She loved being on the SRPW Jr. PeeWee Squad. Since last year, both my youngest children have been involved with SRPW. Hunter (7) plays on the flag football team and Venice (6) cheers on the flag cheer squad. The best thing about my family’s involvement with SRPW is that Venice cheers for Hunter’s team. I’m also head coach for the flag cheer squad and Caitlin is one of my student trainers from SRHS cheer. After last season, I was asked to consider being the cheer coordinator. It certainly is an honor to have this position.

What is your main goal this year as cheer coordinator? My goal is to have each cheer participant not only have fun cheering but also learn the values of friendship, integrity, fairness, respect and the principles of good sportsmanship. Every cheerleader is part of a squad and there are three components that make up that squad: coach, cheerleader and parent. I believe that in order to have a successful season, all three must work together as one cohesive unit.

Tell us about a typical season for SRPW Cheer and what to expect as a participant. Our season starts on Aug. 1. We have mandatory cheer conditioning for the first two weeks, which include 20 hours of conditioning. During the first week, they also attend a cheer camp where they have tons of fun and learn cheers, chants, stunting and a dance. Games are on Saturdays beginning Aug. 31 for flag teams and Sept. 7 for tackle teams. Home tackle football games are held at the Scripps Ranch High School Football Stadium. Flag home games are held at the SRHS Soccer Field. On Oct. 27, all of our cheer squads will compete (Flag & Mitey Mite squads are exhibition only)

in the Palomar Conference Pop Warner Cheer Competition. This is something that the squads begin preparing for in early September. Each competing squad that places within the top two of their division will move on to the Regional Competition in late November. Each squad placing in the top two will then move on to the Pop Warner National Cheer & Dance Championships that take place on the first week in December in Florida at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex.

Does SRPW Cheer hold any fundraisers? If so, please elaborate. Fundraising is an important component of cheerleading. A league fundraiser will be made available to all cheerleaders and football players prior to our SRPW Opening Day by selling raffle tickets that allow the buyers the opportunity to win three amazing prizes. All other fundraisers will be determined at each squad level in order to provide some financial relief for parents in meeting travel expenses, or other needs as determined by the squad, coaches and parents. Throughout the season, squads may participate in several fundraising activities. Spirit Grams are a fun way to raise money by selling cheers and chants to the parents of SRPW football players.

After coordinating with the player’s parent(s), the cheerleaders will arrive at the player’s home with a handmade banner and perform a cheer for him the day prior to a scheduled game. Cheerleaders may also choose to sell team spirit paraphernalia or candy to the crowd at home games to raise money. Another popular fundraiser for the cheerleaders is to hold a CheerA-Thon. Cheerleaders collect pledges from family members, friends and local businesses before the event. Sponsors pledge per hour based on how long the cheerleaders can cheer. Most of the money raised is used to help our cheerleaders with travel expenses. If our squads earn the honor of placing First or Second at the Regional Competition, they have the opportunity to compete at the Pop Warner Cheer & Dance Championships held at Disney World in Orlando, FL. Within two weeks, our coaches and cheerleaders must decide if they will compete. The estimated expense to send one cheerleader to Orlando is between $1,200-$1,500. We want all our cheerleaders to be able to have this amazing experience, but this experience comes with a price tag. This is why it is so important for us to have the support of our family, friends and community. ¢

celebrating 25 Years of

Excellence Casa de las Campanas

T

his July, Casa de las Campanas celebrates its 25th year as San Diego’s only not-for-profit Type “A” continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Anniversary-month events kick off with another of our well-known “Taste of Casa” events. The annual event highlights the world-class fare enjoyed daily by Casa residents. This year’s “Taste of Casa” will mark the debut of recently-appointed Executive Chef Stephen Window. His formidable culinary credentials include being head chef at La Jolla’s award-winning Roppongi Restaurant and twice-featured chef at the James Beard House. “Chef Window teams up with our Registered Dietician Amy Jellison to create healthy, gourmet dishes for Casa residents,” said Marge Pronovost, Casa de las Campanas Marketing and Sales Director. “A Taste of Casa” gives invited guests a chance to sample the locally-grown, locally-sourced food that we feature,” she said. Casa de las Campanas will formally mark its 25th anniversary from July 22-26. Resident events will include an outdoor concert, an ice cream social at the community’s Bell Tower Park, a professional photographer, and strolling musicians for a formal Murder Mystery Dinner in the newly redesigned Dinner Theatre. The 23-acre residential community, nestled in the hills of Rancho Bernardo overlooking Lake Hodges, first opened on July 25, 1988. It has been one of the top-rated retirement communities in San Diego County ever since. The Casa de las Campanas Health Center has earned Medicare’s Five-Star Rating for skilled nursing facilities, Pronovost said. Community residents participate in over 40 different in-house clubs and committees, including reaching out to

the surrounding community. Casa residents, through their volunteer program Casa Residents for Education (CRE), have for years tutored first, second and third graders in the “Everyone’s A Reader” program at local elementary schools. Casa regularly partners with Recycle San Diego to sponsor electronics recycling events and, since 2010, the community has operated a worm farm that turns its kitchen waste into compost. “Casa’s on-going success is a true testament to our organizational model,” said Pronovost, “integrating resident perspectives with the vision of our local Board of Directors and the industry-specific expertise of our management company, Life Care Services LLC.” That model has insured Casa de las Campanas’ financial strength and stability, Pronovost said, and will continue to do so. She pointed to a master plan under development for the community. “This expansion will carry us to 2025,” said Steve Riddle, Casa de las Campanas President/Chairman of the Board. “What we’re trying to do is to keep Casa de las Campanas competitive into the future – making certain that we are offering the amenities and providing the lifestyle environment which the new generation of retiring ‘baby boomers’ will be looking for, while continuing to address the evolving needs of current residents.” ¢ SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

The grilled shrimp, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, and crab roll with Cajun-seared albacore on the outside is served with a warm garlic, Serrano chili and cilantro ponzu sauce.

P

eople are becoming energy-efficient. From solar panels to electric cars, to changing out light bulbs and windows – it’s all around us. There’s opportunities everywhere to be part of this change of lifestyle upgrade that is really quite essential in the world we live in today. When you replace a single pane window in your house with an energy-efficient one, the new window prevents heat from escaping in the winter, so you save energy by using your heater less while remaining comfortable. In the summer, efficient windows keep the heat out, so the air conditioner does not run as often and, thus, you save electricity. When you replace an appliance, such as a refrigerator or washing

machine with a more energy-efficient model, the new equipment provides the same service, but uses less energy. This saves you money on your energy bill, and reduces the amount of greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere. Being energy-efficient is simply an upgrade to your current lifestyle that reduces energy costs and results in a financial cost saving to consumers. Seems simple enough. Andy Bello, owner of Tankless Plumbing, is encouraging the community to “think outside the tank” and become more energyefficient. His question to consumers is simple. Why waste so much water when you turn on your shower, faucet, dishwasher or washing machine just to wait for heat to come,

when you can achieve and get to the same point using 2/3 less energy? The choice is simple – upgrade to a state-of-the-art NORTIZ tankless water heater. The heaters come with a 12-year warranty on the heat exchanger and five years on all other components. As a licensed plumbing contractor as well as a trained certified Platinum dealer and installer, Tankless Plumbing has a heater that will meet your needs as well as save you money on your hot water heating bills. Remember what you save will pay you back over time to pay down your investment. Visit www.tanklessplumber.com to learn how to make the change to a more energy-efficient lifestyle. 

Benefits of Going Tankless • Most tankless units come with a federal tax rebate of $300. • They never run out of hot water. • They last five to 10 years longer than tank heaters. • You can shave as much as 20 percent from your water heating bill. • Electric models don't produce greenhouse gases. • They're more efficient with no standby heat loss. • They take up less space and can even be installed on walls or outdoors with an anti-freeze kit. • Smaller units can be installed under cabinets or in a closet, closer to the point of use. • They only need enough power to heat the amount of water necessary at any given moment. • Most units are operated by remote control and have up to four separate settings available. • There's no possibility of flooding due to a ruptured tank.

NGLC New Generations LEARNING CENTER

Lori Jiannuzzi makes her model for childcare a reality at New Generations Learning Center

Plus Open Door Policy

by WYNNE LOVE

A

ny parent knows how hard it can be to leave their child in someone else’s care. The only sure form of comfort is knowing they are in the best of hands. “Mom on a mission” Lori Jiannuzzi is determined to provide that level of care at New Generations Learning Center (NGLC). “When my son was six months old, I wanted to go back to work full-time,” recalled Lori. “We searched for a quality child care center, but I was unable to find one school that was everything I wanted for my child. So rather than being part of the problem, I decided to be part of the solution!” A USD graduate and real-estate entrepreneur, Lori set out to design just the kind of program she would want as a parent.

Secure Facility

Since safety is most parents’ first priority, Lori made it hers as well. “Our lobby area has a double-secure access requiring use of the biometric fingerprint access in addition to a coded entry door,” described

Lori. The facility is clean and spacious with web-cams in each classroom.

Super Staff

“Having the right professionals on my team was key to the success of the program,” noted Lori. Every teacher has specialized training in early childhood education and is hired for their ability to contribute to a warm and nurturing environment.

Quality Curriculum

“NGLC is committed to professionalizing the field of early childhood education,” asserted Lori. Determined to educate, not babysit, NGLC utilizes low teacher-student ratios and implements its own tailormade curriculum, including Baby Sign, Spanish and a rich multi-cultural daily curriculum.

A founding principle is NGLC’s commitment to keeping parents informed with daily reports, regular e-mail communication and instant live access through their web cams. “NGLC’s web cams offer a great tool for parents of little ones to watch over how their child’s day is going,” emphasized Lori. NGLC operates 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays year-round, serving children ages six weeks to 12 years, and there is currently space available in each classroom for the summer months. NGLC is also registering for fall 2013 and their Private Kindergarten 2013-2014 program. See Lori’s team in action at www.nglc.org or at their facility just off the 15 in Mira Mesa. 

OMMUNITY ONSCIOUS Giving Back is a Full-Time Hobby for this 92131 Volunteer

t’s not every day that you come across a teenager who consistently thinks to put others’ needs first. Seventeen-year-old Bill Feather, a 92131 resident and recent grad of Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS), does just that. As an enthusiastic volunteer in the Scripps Ranch community, Bill is readying himself for school at Miramar Community College in the fall and is already thinking ahead about how to continue to give back. “In five years…if education goes well, (I see myself) possibly pursuing a career in either local politics or as a high-ranking member of a service organization/non-profit organization,” stated Bill. He is certainly on the right track. Having been honored during Scripps Ranch Volunteer Recognition Night for his volunteer work and recently setting the record at SRHS for the most volunteer service hours ever completed by a SRHS student, Bill is no stranger to helping others. “I have enjoyed volunteering for many service organizations since a very young age,” he shared. Some of these organizations include: SRHS, SRHS Football Boosters, Scripps Ranch Civic Association, Thurgood Marshall Middle School Choral Music Department, Saint Gregory the Great Church and San Diego City Council District 5 (where he worked as an intern). Bill also dedicates his time to Scripps Ranch Pop Warner (SRPW), where he holds the position of social media/PR director and assistant concessionaire. “I became involved by meeting President Lisa Gorski through my volunteering with the SRHS Football Booster Club and she offered her gratitude for my service to come assist her with SRPW,” Bill shared. And just when you think he couldn’t possibly make any more room in his busy schedule, Bill recently added one more cause to his agenda: the American Cancer Society’s “Relay For Life.” “Relay For Life is a 24-Hour event where members of teams are relaying around the track,” explained Bill. “I became involved because last year my math teacher gave a presentation about the event and it seemed like a good cause for me to become involved with!” What motivates Bill to volunteer, you wonder? “The drive for me to assist in local community events is to the see the positive impact I leave on people,” said Bill. “It gives me joy to see that my actions truly affect people in the way that they do.” 

Proposition 30 Brings Hope to the Falcons

F

or the past few years, the end of the school year at Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS), along with many other schools in the San Diego Unified School District, has brought uncertainty to the Falcons. Sophomore Keely Roche explained, “A lot of teachers were getting pink slips and didn’t know if they were going to have a job. This was detrimental for the students because we realized that if all these teachers were getting displaced, class sizes would increase. As a result, we would lose individual one-on-one time with teachers to receive additional support.” This succession of events was the result of the lack of funding for California schools. The state of the economy was causing these low funds leaving those in charge with one

choice; they needed to cut different aspects of the educational system in order to keep the school running. This year was different. After the passage of Proposition 30, a statewide tax that secures additional funding for California schools, and a strengthening economy, SRHS was not in the usual state of turmoil as the end of the 2012-2013 school year approached.“It was nice for a change. Teachers are stable in their jobs and class sizes won’t increase,” shared Roche. The normal chaos was absent from the school year, leaving the Falcons the opportunity to enjoy the end of the year festivities without worrying about the future of their school and beloved teachers. Now that schools are beginning to receive financial support, the future seems a little bit brighter for teachers and students

everywhere. Mr. Abdo, a teacher at SRHS, added, “I think it is great that schools are starting to get funding. Because of Proposition 30 there were no pink slips in the district.” Hopefully this positive trend in the economy will continue to make public education in California a positive experience for everyone. “Maybe we will have funding for supplies we need to keep the school going. Sometimes we don’t even have paper in the classrooms. Hopefully it will get better,” said Roche. The San Diego Unified School District is hopeful about the effects of the new tax. If the 2013-2014 school year shows an increase in funding, the future can only be positive for SRHS.¢ Erin Coates is a senior at Scripps Ranch High School.

2nd Annual Evening of the Arts at Marshall Middle Wows Guests!

I

n early May, Marshall Middle School art teachers, Laura McDonald and Beulah Forrest, presented Marshall’s 2nd annual Evening of the Arts show. Students, parents and teachers alike all thoroughly enjoyed this fun-filled and interactive display of both visual and performing arts. A huge display of artwork from Marshall’s 6th through 8th graders was the centerpiece for this night of entertainment, but it was most certainly not the only thing that people came to appreciate. Live musical performances, tray passed appetizers and beverages (presented by Marshall’s Advanced Art class), silent auctions of custom, hand-painted and student-designed furniture, numerous prizes, hands-on art activities and even live performances by Marshall’s own drama department were just a few of the many highlights the evening presented. From drawing and painting to sculpture and digital art and photography there was something for everyone to appreciate. Laura McDonald, art

teacher and Marshall ASB advisor, initiated the idea for this special evening last year with her Advanced Art class in mind. Cataloguing, curating, hanging and “working the show” were all part of her students’ job description as they entered the class. Having experienced such remarkable success and positive community reaction toward last year’s show, Laura and Beulah made sure to expand on it and produce this year’s show as well. Although the production of the show requires a lot of preparation and enthusiasm amongst the Marshall Middle families and staff, both teachers are confident this event will remain a staple on Marshall’s calendar for years to come. Guests were impressed by the artwork the students poured their time, creativity and effort into. “With such an extremely talented bunch of students, the most difficult aspect of the show was choosing what would be presented,” said Laura. “One thing is for sure, after engaging with the art of Marshall’s students, nobody left unimpressed!” ¢

Pet

Allergies

It’s More Manageable ThanYou Think

I

f someone in your home has pet allergies, you may wash the pet twice a week, steam clean your carpet or treat your pet with sprays or drops to reduce shedding – but is there any proof that taking these actions help? Kusum Sharma, MD, Director of Allergy & Asthma Clinics at AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine offers the following research and evidence-based environmental changes that can reduce the pet allergen levels in your home and may help stop allergy symptoms:

Replace carpeting with hard surfaces.

Did you know carpeted floors accumulate 100 times more cat allergens than hard floors? Switch to polished surfaces like hardwood floors, stone or tile.

Reduce fabric upholstered furniture.

Research shows that upholstered furniture and curtains contain significant amounts of cat dander and even more than what is found on the floor.

The truth is, you can live with your pets without suffering allergy symptoms.”

Wash bedding and curtains.

To remove dog/cat dander from bedding and curtains, use one of these three techniques: wash in water at least 140°F with one rinse; wash at any temperature with two rinses; or wash in a steam washing machine.

Use tightly woven bed coverings.

Protective coverings for mattresses, box springs and pillows are often recommended, and studies show that tightly woven fabric with openings less than four microns wide can reduce allergens.

Make multiple changes for best results.

Studies show that making multiple indoor environment changes is required to significantly reduce pet allergens. Pet owners with allergies or asthma symptoms should see an allergist who will evaluate if they are truly allergic to pets and discuss treatment options, including reducing allergen exposure, medications most effective for their particular symptoms and allergy shots (immunotherapy). The truth is, you can live with your pets without suffering allergy symptoms. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Will Rising Interest Rates Hurt the Market?

A

by SCOTT VOAK

t the time of this writing, interest rates have been increasing significantly for four weeks. Rates are up over ½ a point and buyers are feeling the effects of diminished purchasing power. At today’s interest rates, an increase of one percent in mortgage rates lowers the purchasing power of a buyer by 10% (assuming they are putting down 20%). So, a buyer who could put $100k down and qualify for a loan of $400k can only qualify for a loan of $360k if rates go up a single point. In many cases, this is causing buyers to step back. Despite the fact that rates are still at historical lows, the recent rate increases have put buyers in a position where they need to lower their expectations; something that is not easy to do when purchasing a home for your family. On the other side of the transaction, I don’t think sellers in the San Diego area are going to get hurt by the rising rates – at least not yet. There is too much pent up demand. The rising interest rates are slowing some buyers down, but for the most part that just means fewer offers and not necessarily reduced prices. However, if rates continue to climb we can expect the market to eventually slow down. Rising rates do provide a headwind to the market, but the market is just too strong right now for them to cause a noticeable slow down. One thing to keep in mind as you try and decide how long the market will keep rising is that there are thousands of homeowners with subsidized under-market rates who won’t be selling anytime soon as their mortgage payment is now much lower than they could rent a similarly priced home. This means that those homes are essentially “off the market” and will not be offered for sale. This restricts, and will continue to restrict, the number of homes available for sale and keep supporting prices. ¢

by SARABETH McELHANEY

garage floor can take quite a beating on a daily basis, especially a standard concrete floor. Now more than ever, people are turning to epoxy and decorative concrete companies to not only increase the longevity of their floor, but create a beautiful, high-gloss presentation that impresses. Newcomer, VIP Garage Floors focuses on the balance of quality and price for homeowners all over San Diego. The business “took the floor” to tell us more about their meticulous attention to detail in custom concrete floor preparation and installation. Tell us what makes VIP Garage Floors stand out in the flooring market. VIP: We not only use the industry’s leading products, but we are also led by an individual who has spent five years working for the leading product manufacturer on research and technical development. As lead installation trainer, he teaches each contractor that even with the most exceptional products, the floor still needs to be prepared correctly. With this mentality, we can ensure each job is done right every time.

What new technology does VIP Garage Floors utilize to protect the lifetime of the floor? VIP: Clients can choose between several types of Epoxy Base materials, flake colors and types of protective clear coats. When cared for properly, the floor can last the life of the home. The new flooring resists chemicals, oils and UV exposure, while hiding dirt and being easy to clean. Briefly explain the process of creating a new floor. VIP: Every installation is unique and we customize to the requirements at hand on a case-by-case basis. Installation will typically take two days. We go through several steps to prepare the concrete surface depending on the condition that the surface is in. Who would benefit from having their garage floor refinished by VIP Garage Floors? VIP: Affordable pricing allows for everyone with a concrete surface to be a candidate for a new look – and not just for garage floors. ¢
