The Chamber is a small business with three employees and just over 300 customers. One of the things that makes the Chamber a unique small business, is the board of directors.

6 Santee Street Fair

The Board represents chamber members and their best interests by setting direction, providing oversight and supporting the chamber staff. Each year in the fall we have an election to replace board members that term out, retire or move on. This year we’ll have at least three positions available. If you’re a member in good standing and would like to find out what’s expected of a board member, give me a call.

It’s mostly harmless, you’ll probably have fun and you’ll have opportunities to meet some interesting people and do some pretty cool stuff while making a positive impact on the business community.

8 Entertaining Santee

Once again, the Chamber and the City are working together to make life easier for small business. We’re exploring ways to make it easier for business owners to learn the basics of Federal, State and local government regulations in regards to opening or expanding their business.

10

My goal is to eventually create a comprehensive online guide that will help you organize your thoughts, your paperwork and your plans before your first visit to the City or County Development Services office. More small businesses would have a better chance for success if they were able to prevent some of the common unforeseen costs that occur after leases are signed or construction begins.

You can help local business by shopping in Santee and by going to SanteeChamber.com and rating our members’ businesses. We read each rating and try to post everything within one business day, unless it’s offensive or dishonest.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Eddie Vandiver 2014 Chairman of the Board

Several years ago, when I was approached by the former Santee Chamber of Commerce executive director, Warren Savage, to run for a seat on the Board of Directors, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew the Chamber was a great organization, but I wasn’t quite sure why. Seven or so years later, as I sit here, the 2014 Chairman of the Board, I can see that the reason this Chamber is so strong is because of its members, the Santee city leadership and community we represent. It is also because the Chamber’s Board of Directors and the staff work so hard to bring business to Santee, and provide ongoing support to the local business community. Santee is by far the best city in East County, and in my opinion, all of San Diego.

This is a very exciting year for the City of Santee, and the Santee Chamber of Commerce. We started off with our fantastic Awards Night at Barona Casino, where several business members of the Chamber were awarded ‘Santee’s Favorites’ awards, in their respective categories. Several community leaders, who all excelled in their respective areas, were awarded individual awards as well. It was a great night to get together as a Chamber community and celebrate our successes.

Joining the Santee Chamber of Commerce is a great way to meet local business owners who are involved in the community.

Check us out online at www.SanteeChamber.com

I’ve always regarded Spring as a time of renewal and rebuilding, and that also holds true for the Santee community. In January, San Diego Christian College opened their new campus next to Trolley Square Shopping Center. Parc One commenced construction of 178 upscale apartments on an adjacent site, and the City hopes to add a theater/entertainment complex in the near future as well. This past year, a number of major street and drainage improvements were completed, and several new businesses were welcomed to the community.

Over the coming year, the most significant transformation will be along Prospect Avenue, as the City implements a $25 million corridor enhancement project, with the goal of revitalizing this industrial corridor and expanding business opportunities near Gillespie Field Airport. This was financed from our last redevelopment bond issuance, as a final project from our redevelopment funding.

One of Santee’s greatest treasures is our Quality of Life.

We’re nestled in the rolling hills of the San Diego River Valley, surrounded by panoramic mountains, with year-round sunshine, award-winning schools and parks, and familybased neighborhoods. We’re also home to the Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve and Sportsplex USA, which have earned recognition on state and national levels, and are generating close to a million annually in visitor attendance.

Santee is at the very epicenter of East County. Only a 20 minute drive will take you to the beaches or downtown, or you can board the trolley at the Santee Transit Center and ride the Green Line to Qualcomm Stadium, Petco Park, San Diego Gaslamp, or the Convention Center. But our Quality of Life is found closer to home.

Partnerships go a long way in maintaining that Quality of Life, and the City is fortunate to team up with the Santee Chamber of Commerce to promote business in the community, and collaborative relationships with the Santee School District and the Padre Dam Municipal Water District. We’re all striving toward the same goal of making this a better community for our residents and businesses.

Hey, Let’s Put On A Show!

“We’ve gotta have a great show, with a million laughs... and color... and a lot of lights to make it sparkle! And songs... wonderful songs! And after we get the people in that hall, we’ve gotta start ‘em in laughing right away! Oh, can’t you just see it?”

— Judy Garland, “Babes In Arms,” 1939

In the movies, it was Judy, Mickey and the gang that somehow got together and found the barn and the musicians and the audience and put on the show. And it worked . . . in movie, after movie, after movie the formula worked. And now, more than seventy years later, the formula is working again in Santee!

Bob Schultze and Steve Rolf have been friends since 1999, but they didn’t start doing this kind of theater together until 2010 when they began putting together shows for friends and family a couple times a year.

Coronado Playhouse came to one of those shows, “Love, Me” in February of 2012 and asked if they would consider doing their show for a couple weeks in Coronado? They did and apparently they had a terrific time while selling out their shows!

reasoning went like this: if they had seven-hundred some people coming to their shows in Coronado, it only stood to reason that it would all just transition over to their very own theater! And they could just open their theatre in La Mesa straight away.

Their journey for a home started with looking at locations in La Mesa, one after another, only to get, “NO!” From the landlords, the City of La Mesa, and even from Bob! Seriously, thirty times Steve heard, “NO!” Would this show ever go on? Bob finally asked, “how many times do we have to hear “no” before we get the idea this is not supposed to happen?” Steve simply replied, “Until we hear a yes!”

Maybe they had something special? Maybe they should open a theater of their own?

Bob knew that Steve was never going to just give up, so in desperation he suggested the empty Blockbuster building on Cuyamaca in Santee; but Steve kept looking in La Mesa. And eight more times he got himself a “NO!”

So, Steve pitched Bob, his wife Cindi and his own wife Jen about the possibility of opening a theater in La Mesa. His

Then fate decided to take a hand. Steve ran into Santee Councilman, Jack Dale, who asked how things were

going. Steve explained, and Jack offered Santee as an alternative.

“Give us one chance,” he said. So Steve redirected his efforts into looking for a location in Santee and found this great spot on Cuyamaca, just north of Town Center. Yes, it was the very same spot Bob saw several weeks prior.

An offer was made and after hearing “NO!” some forty consecutive times, Steve, Bob, Cindi and Jen finally heard, “Yes!”

June 13th & 14th

And on November 9th, 2012 they “broke ground” and started building Off Broadway Live. Literally.

And so just like Judy and Mickey and their friends, Bob and Steve were the ones who took the plans and built the stage, the bathrooms, the concession areas, etc. Jen and Cindi painted, mudded and taped right alongside of them. And just like with the movies of old, their friends—Jim Knoll, Bill Sellers, Harry Bartling and the Taurosa Family—all pitched in and the theatre was (almost) ready for opening night.

Doors open @ 6:30 pm

February 22, 2013, OPENING NIGHT! Well it almost wasn’t! But with the help of Gary Jacobs and the flexibility of City Inspectors from Santee, they got “finaled” a whole TWO HOURS before they opened the doors! And the rest is history! Well, not by a long shot, but, that’s a story for another time.

Suffice it to say, it has been an adventure for them and for us, their grateful audience. In their first year, Bob and Steve have made incredible additions to their cast: Roxanne Fulkerson, Blake Beckcom and Jodi Kohler—each of whom have added a special dimension to their productions that most theater producers can only dream about!

Ken Fox Santee Chamber of Commerce 2013 Person of the Year

Few are the people in Santee who have not heard about Ken Fox. He first moved to Santee more than 40 years ago and he has, since then, had an unimaginable impact on the community.

From the Santee Park & Recreation Committee to the Santee Community Foundation and Santee School Board, the number of organizations and projects he has had an effect on is innumerable. Ken Fox’s long-term involvement and volunteering started back in 1977 when he first coached his son’s baseball team. Since then, he has affected many lives and made our entire community a better place by helping organizations such as Santee American, Santee Pioneer, United Santee Little Leagues, and Santee Sports Council to name a few.

His well-deserved Outstanding California Park and Recreation Commissioner of the year award in 2010, and the 2013 Person of the Year award show how meaningful his work and dedication is to our community. He is the prototype of the active citizen and long-term volunteer that many communities rely upon to improve the quality of life for everyone.

“Energy. Insight. Leadership.

Ken Fox has contributed each of these in generous portions to Santee, the city he loves.”

Blazing New Trails For Recreation Chances are you’ve never heard of the Walker Preserve.

That’s because this 107-acre site along the San Diego River was christened shortly after the City of Santee purchased the property in the fall of 2012.

The site is named after the Walker family, who in 1925 bought land in what is now southeast Santee and operated a farm and dairy. Over the years, family matriarch Evelyn Walker Hanlon considered various proposals to develop the property, including estate homes and a water slide park. Her son, Bill Hanlon, eventually decided to sell the property as open space, knowing that conserving the land would provide a lasting legacy of his family’s Santee roots.

This summer, the city will start construction on a recreational trail that, for the first time, will provide public access to this scenic treasure that stretches from Magnolia Avenue east to Santee’s border with Lakeside. Horses, bicycles and joggers with strollers – all will be welcome.

The 1.3-mile-long trail will be designed to enhance users’

comfort and safety, while allowing the site’s natural beauty to frame the experience. The 14-foot-wide path constructed of compressed decomposed granite will be bordered by wooden lodge-pole fencing. Native trees and shrubs will be planted to provide shade and expand the existing riparian habitat.

There will be benches, a bicycle repair station and even a hitching post for equestrians. There will also be information kiosks and interpretive signs explaining the history of the property and the variety of wildlife found there. Migratory waterfowl such as ducks and geese are attracted to the site’s 30 acres of ponds. Nearby residents report seeing bobcats, coyotes and basically a whole food chain of creatures.

Santee Mayor Randy Voepel offered a humorous notion about the excitement the project will generate: “This is a great addition to our trail system, and I look forward (wink wink) to the alligator wrestling shows in the San Diego River.”

All together, the cost of the project will approach $4.8 million. The city bought the property for its appraised market value of $2.14 million, which was offset entirely by grants from state and federal agencies.

“The Walker Preserve is a great opportunity for Santee to open up more property along the river for the people to enjoy,” said Santee Councilman John Minto. “It’s going to be a great place for people to go and relax.”

The footprint of the new trail will follow the center-line of an unpaved haul road on the north side of the river, where for decades massive dump trucks and other heavy equipment rumbled back and forth.

Since the 1950s, the property has been fenced off and posted with “no trespassing” signs to accommodate a succession of companies that extracted material from the riverbed.

Sand and gravel dredged from the site were used to expand Qualcomm Stadium and Grossmont High School, and to build portions of Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres.

The trail project represents a bridge between Santee’s history and its future. Early versions of the City’s General Plan drafted after its 1980 incorporation envisioned a vibrant commercial zone in the aptly named Town Center area that would embrace the river, not turn away from it. The idea was to embrace the river as a spine of open space that would connect neighborhoods and commercial centers.

“This project will complete a crucial link in the San Diego River Trail, a visionary effort aimed at creating a 52-milelong ribbon of open space, parks and trails from the Cuyamaca Mountains to the sea,” said Santee Councilman Rob McNelis.

“The Walker Preserve Trail will connect neighborhoods in eastern Santee to Town Center which is on the verge of expanding with new housing and retail.” McNelis said. “The trail will attract new visitors and also give local residents a scenic place to walk the dog, jog, or have a family picnic.

It will also generate additional foot traffic to local shops and restaurants.“

In addition to creating new recreational opportunities, the trail should boost the value of adjacent residential property.

Recent studies have found that property values are enhanced by parks and open space. And there’s a bonus: parks that contain natural habitat and trails enhance property values the most.

The current leaseholder, RCP Block & Brick, stopped mining sand at the Walker Preserve in September 2013.

The company, which also leases 11 adjacent acres to manufacture building materials, is planning to leave when its lease expires in 2017.

The city in 1991 approved a reclamation plan requiring RCP to restore the riverbed and the native landscape before it leaves.

RCP’s on-site superintendent, Tom Phelps, said he’s taken pride in overseeing the ongoing restoration, which will replace wetland, riparian and upland habitats.

“I want to see the project – the whole Walker Preserve – do well,” he said. “It’s a great thing and something I’ve been working toward for a long time.”

The Edgemoor Barn, at 9200 Magnolia, is open for tours every Tuesday except the 2nd one of the month, from 10 to noon... and the 3rd Saturday of each month from 10 to 2 pm.

Come visit... everyone is welcome!

Sadly, we marked the passing of Past President Elaine Murphy on March 13th, 2014.

She was small in stature but she was a powerful force of energy.

One of her greatest contributions was the re-establishment of the Santee Historical Society, after it fell dormant for nearly 6 years. During Elaine’s 2 terms as President, the Santee Historical Society made great strides in rehabilitating the barn, and getting it ready to open its doors as the Santee Museum.

The preservation of the barn as the home of the Santee Historical Society, and the Santee Museum, was her focus.

An Adjournment in Memory of Elaine was held at the March 26th Santee City Council meeting, and several days later, she was commemorated as well by Assemblyman Brian Jones in Sacramento.

Elaine was passionate about preserving Santee’s history for future generations... and because of her hard work and dedication to Santee, she now is a memorable part of Santee’s heritage.

New Focus on Visual Arts Building upon a tradition of excellence in the visual arts at Santana High School, 2014 ushers in new facilities, new faculty, and new programs. In other words, the arts are experiencing a new focus and change is afoot.

An extensive renovation project begins at Santana in June 2014 and is scheduled for completion sometime in 2015. The three dimensional design, two dimensional design and photography rooms will be moving from the 500 building to the 700 building, moving into the space that is currently the weight room. The 3D room will be set up primarily for ceramics. There will be dedicated areas for hand building, wheel throwing, and spray booth for glazing. The 2D room will have large, open workspaces for large, medium and small format work, printmaking, internet access and more efficient storage for student work and class supplies. Both classrooms will feature integrated technology for more effective demonstrations, plenty of natural light and updated HVAC. The photography room will have a new studio space for use with still photography and video including a green screen and specialized lighting. All of these facilities will be a wonderful addition to the existing film lab, equipped for high definition film screening and Bose surround sound.

Santana is growing. Because more students are attending, the school is able to offer more sections of art than they have in many years. Following Pam Ryerson’s retirement in 2013, Sarah Rowland and Clair Elliott were both hired into the department. Ms. Rowland is new to Santana, but not to teaching. She taught for eleven years in California, Colorado and Arizona. She earned a BA Art History and Studio Art at Stanford University, an MA in Teaching from Chapman University and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from Arizona State University. She has shown her paintings and drawings all over the United States. Mrs. Elliott is new to teaching at Santana this year. However, she is not new to Santana: she is a graduate, Class of ‘96. She has been teaching in the district over the last four years at Mount Miguel and Monte Vista. She earned a BA in Applied Sciences and Fine Arts at SDSU. Ms. Rowland and Mrs. Elliott join the gifted faculty of the Visual Arts Department which includes Martin Johnson (AP Art History), Valerie Seitz (Photography), and Chuck Zepf (TV and Film, and Video Production). Mr. Johnson is a member of

two departments, Art and English. He has been teaching for 31 years, 25 years at Santana High School, and has been honored with many teaching awards. He has degrees from San Diego State University in English, Telecommunications and Film, and Education. Teaching Art History is one of finest joys of his life. Ms. Seitz has taught at Santana for nine years. She was first inspired to be a photographer when she was in high school, and throughout college she worked as a local studio photographer. She obtained her BA in Art Education at SDSU and her M.A. in Education from Point Loma Nazarene University. Mr. Zepf is both a teacher and a coach. He has coached football for many years and has taught Video Production as well as Science. He has been honored with the CTE teacher of the year award for his outstanding work with students of TV, Film and Video.

One of the newest components of the Visual Arts at Santana is departmental participation in Career and Technical Education. The Arts, Media and Entertainment Pathway is in its second full year with 10th graders in photography and 11th graders in TV, Film and Video class. 2014-2015 will graduate the first class to complete the full length of the program and we will roll out our third year “capstone class” called Multimedia. The emphasis of the program is to teach students art and emphasize skills used by the industry.

Photography teaches students basic and advanced camera functions using DSLRs, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

TV, Film and Video students produce a daily newscast that airs on the internet and at Santana. Students learn Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Garageband, script writing, storyboarding, lighting, sound mixing and more. Multimedia Arts will build on student knowledge acquired in these courses and culminate in a final comprehensive portfolio.

The Arts, Media and Entertainment Pathway joins the longstanding Three Dimensional Design, Art, and AP Art History courses at Santana. Across the department, we nurture a project-based learning environment to teach creativity and design as critical thinking. In the visual arts, students learn by doing, an increasing focus on interdisciplinary studies and introduction to the nuances of contemporary art.

Escaping Corporate America A passion for CKO Kickboxing concept compelled a local couple to leave Corporate America and expand the national kickboxing franchise into Santee “It’s not MMA” and “Yes, we both left our jobs” was Brenton and Bonnie Danieli’s most recited answers to the questions of their shocked friends and family members. The couple walked away from their careers to open the popular national CKO Kickboxing franchise in Santee.

Brenton and Bonnie are not just the new owners; they are an example of how CKO changes lives.

Bonnie has been a CKO member for over a year and it transformed her entire life both physically and mentally. When Bonnie found CKO, her exercise regimen included yoga, pilates, a gym membership and taking numerous supplements.

After attending CKO, Bonnie dropped her old routine and, to her amazement, experienced better results for a fraction of the time and cost.

Bonnie has lost over 40 pounds and continues to maintain the weight loss by attending CKO on a regular basis. “I remember coming home after a CKO class one night and telling Brenton that I could not believe how much CKO’s one hour classes had helped manage my stress, think more positively, gain self-confidence and increase my energy levels.” Bonnie knew she had to help others experience the same results.

After Brenton took his first class, he quickly shared his wife’s passion for CKO and realized they needed to share this game changing concept with more people. To make the biggest impact in the Santee community and with their members, they knew they had to jump head first into the commitment and leave the careers they built for over 10 years.

As the couple explains: “This is not just a gym for us – this is our new LIFE, our new home, our new everything! We wholeheartedly believe in the concept and know it will help others.”

Brenton and Bonnie felt East County San Diego would be a perfect fit for a CKO Kickboxing location. They anticipate opening the new facility in late May 2014. The unique group 16 Santee Magazine

exercise concept, which allows everyone in the instructor led class to work on their own real 125lb heavy bag and at their own pace, separates the CKO Kickboxing model from other kickboxing or exercise classes. The appeal of getting a full body workout in one hour, without sparring or fighting, has won over the hearts of members in CKO locations nationwide. According to Muscle & Fitness magazine, kickboxing is a top fat burning exercise with between 800-1200 calories burned per session.

At CKO Kickboxing, the resistance from hitting a hanging heavy bag burns more calories and tones muscles faster than simply punching or kicking air. Since the class is for both beginners and advanced members, it is geared for each member to go at their own pace and build up their pace each class. Although it is a national franchise, CKO Kick-boxing has a family style approach. For proof, you can simply “google” CKO Kickboxing or visit ckosantee.com to see the numerous positive reviews and testimonials.

Brenton and Bonnie believe strongly in personally connecting with each member and placing an emphasis on customer service. “We cannot wait to help others reach their fitness goals and bring the CKO Kickboxing passion to everyone in East County. We encourage everyone to give it a try. We know you will love it as much as we do.”

CKO Kickboxing Santee is offering pre-sale discounts, free gloves and a t-shirt for their first 100 charter members.

The discounted rate will be locked in for the life of the membership. Make sure to tell your friends, family members and co-workers so they can get in on the deal as well. Like them on Facebook to see updates as they build out the new facility and visit ckosantee.com for additional pre-sale information.

Feel free to stop by CKO Kickboxing Santee conveniently located at 9802 Magnolia Avenue, Unit 6. It is next to Starbucks in the Albertsons shopping center, across the street from Santana High School. Call 619.448.4040 with any additional questions. Brenton and Bonnie Danieli look forward to seeing you in a class soon!

Entertainment in Your Own Backyard Where is fun, family-friendly, inexpensive entertainment to be found in San Diego’s East County? Just look in San Diego’s best backyard-Santee Lakes! Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve is known for its great fishing, picnic areas and of course camping. Over 750,000 visitors per year come to enjoy the 190 acres of recreational amenities that are available 364 days a year. Some also know that Santee Lakes is a great place for family entertainment as well! Throughout the year you will find something for everyone to enjoy from Special Events to Concerts and Car shows. For a few dollars and as many friends as you can fit into your car; you will find some of the best entertainment around!

Like to fish? Each trout and catfish season we hold our two day opener. For catfish, the opener is held the first weekend in April. Anglers have an opportunity to bag a trophy fish or get one of the tagged fish for prizes.

This season runs through the end of October. If trout is your choice, the Trout Opener starts the first weekend in November with a Re-Opener in January. Both openers are stocked with tagged fish and at the end of trout season if you caught at least a five pounder and had it weighed at the General Store with your photo taken, you’re entered into a drawing for a big screen TV! There are other special fishing events held by various community groups as well.

Our Spring Eggstravaganza is a great partnership with the City of Santee? This year it was held on Saturday, April 19th and included continuous egg hunts, live entertainment, petting zoo, craft booths and carnival rides—something to please everyone.

Our next big Special Event is our Movies by the Lake.

Every other Friday night June 27th through August 22nd you can come with your blankets and beach chairs and sit under the stars with the family and watch a recently released movie on one of the biggest outdoor screens 20 Santee Magazine

we’ve seen! Our movie series mixes a little bit of music, a little bit of carnival and a good movie for quality family time. Entertainment begins at around 5:00pm with musical guests like “Blues 1-4-5”, local singing groups or live remotes from local radio stations. This last year we had the pleasure of having Danielle Bradbury, winner of The Voice, perform for our guests. Just before the movie begins, Park staff and volunteers entertain the crowd with games for the kids, contests and drawings. Bring your picnic, or grab a hamburger or hotdog at the snack bar hosted by our local high school with funds benefitting their school.

Santa at the Lakes is always a crowd pleaser especially because there is SNOW! Sledding, pony rides, petting zoo, carnival rides and of course, Santa make this event extra special! This year Santa at the Lakes will be Sunday December 7th if you want to plan ahead.

If music is your thing, Santee Lakes is host to several concerts that you can enjoy. As part of our movie series, local bands take the stage under the new gazeboes on Lake 5 north to entertain the crowd. Padre Dam Board of Director Augie Scalzitti and his band “Blues 1-4-5” are frequent jammers, playing, upbeat danceable music. If you are camping during the summer, Park and Recreation Supervisor, Cindy Smith, has scheduled a series of local bands to play throughout the summer at the Campground Clubhouse. We are honored to be the location for the annual “Concert at the Lakes” hosted by the Santee-Lakeside Rotary. This concert is an excellent night out for a couple as it not only features great music but dinner as well. This year the Concert will feature THE LONG RUN—Experience the Eagles. It promises to be a wonderful night out for everyone with great music, dinner and dancing in the early summer evening air.

In 2013, the Santee Santas celebrated their 60 years of serving the community with a festive Luau at our large

Gazebo on Lake 1. Authentic Hawaiian food, music and beverages were enjoyed and they also experienced live dancers and a fire twirling show!

Annual Golf Classic

Supporting Art Education and Technology in Classrooms Each June, the annual Golf Classic takes place to raise funds to enhance the educational opportunities for children in Santee. The Golf Classic is a grass roots fundraiser sponsored by the Santee School District Educational Foundation and the Santee Chamber of Commerce. This annual event began 10 years ago and has continued to grow each year. Some of our many annual sponsors include Balfour Beatty Construction, Allied Waste, Pardee Homes, Al’s Sport Shop, Drew Ford, Walmart, Costco, Padre Dam, Chick-fil-A, Mission Federal Credit Union, RCP Brick, Cox Business, school district employee groups, and local PTA units. The funds raised are donated to the schools for defined purposes that support the vision of the Foundation: To help Santee Schools produce good citizens and future leaders for our community.

The Foundation’s 11th Annual Golf Classic, held in collaboration with the Santee Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2014, at Carlton Oaks Country Club. Community members are invited to become part of this annual Santee event by providing a sponsorship, donating a prize, or participating in a sunny afternoon of great golf.

Grants” for teachers to spark innovation in digital learning in their classrooms.

The Foundation made a commitment to continue providing resources for art instruction and technology learning tools for students in the Santee School District. Please support this worthwhile organization that donates all funds back into the Santee community! Let’s help meet this goal!

Art in Our Schools Art is alive in schools and what wondrous art can come from the imagination of children.

Santee School District appreciates the many committed volunteers who work under a coordinator at each site to teach a monthly art lessons in each classroom.

Creativity is among the four critical developmental focuses that prepare students for the 21st century.

The commitment to art by the Santee School District is demonstrated by the creative opportunities for students through the Arts Attack program. The Arts Attack curriculum was implemented at all nine schools in 2007.

Arts Attack is a video based art curriculum which provides students the opportunity to learn art techniques in an organized fashion throughout the school year and throughout their school career, K-8. The goal of the program is to teach every child how to express himself/ herself through art. Research indicates that student participation and expressing of themselves through the arts helps them to master other subjects, such as reading, math, or social studies. At each grade level there are 24 lessons that spiral through in instructional modules around concepts which include line, color, shape, form, pattern, texture, space and composition. Students are also taught appreciation of the arts masters. Kits also include copies of work by Art masters.

The Arts Attack curriculum was co-funded by the Santee School District Foundation and the partnership continues through their annual support of coordinator stipends and purchasing of supplies Student creativity and art production are showcased at the annual Art Show and Auction. The evening spotlights spectacular art by children that includes sculpture, painting, mosaic, and even photography. The Art Show and Auction is one of the annual events that raise funds to continue support of the Arts Attack program.

Celebrating the Art of Dance Ask any dancer and they will tell you -- “Dance is food for the soul.” It nurtures our creative spirit, challenges the limits of our minds and bodies, and resonates with our earliest forms of human expression.

that fosters coordination, kinesthetic awareness, and total body fitness. It also teaches us patience in pushing beyond our physical limitations, as anyone who has ever successfully mastered “the splits” can attest. But for children and adults alike, dancing is just fun.

The Santee community is fortunate to have a number of dance studios and dance instruction opportunities for an entire range of age groups.

Expressions Dance & Movement Center (EDMC) is a dancing school for children and young adults located in the Carlton Oaks Plaza shopping center near the Santee Library. They offer tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical and hip hop classes, which are divided by age groups. According to their website at www. expressionsdanceandmovement.com, “At EDMC our goal is to provide opportunities for self-expression through dance and movement in a fun, non-competitive environment. We celebrate the unique gifts of each student as they build skills, knowledge, and confidence!”

School of Ballet Arts, located in the Carlton Hills Plaza, offers a complete ballet curriculum for children, teens, and adults, including ballet technique, pointe, classical ballet variations, stretch, and jazz. As noted on their website at www.letsdancesandiego.com, the School “emphasizes learning the discipline and joy of dance in a friendly, noncompetitive environment. We believe the art of dance enhances the quality of life. Our dance school focuses on dance as education, training, and fitness.”

Situated along Woodside Avenue on the east side of Santee is Touch of Class Dance Academy, offering a variety of beginning through advanced level classes in ballet, hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, modern, tap, and tumbling.

Their website at www.touchofclassdanceacademy.com states “One of T.O.C.’s major goals is to create strong bodies as well as strong minds. Dancing teaches physical coordination, increases socialization skills, and provides healthy competition.”

PUT YOUR BUSINESS IN GOOD HANDS. ®

It’s your business. Let me help protect it.

Performers from the various dance classes in Santee are showcased at various recitals, competitions and special events throughout the year. The Santee Chamber’s annual Santee Street Fair includes a performance stage that will host local dance talent and performances.

Santee has also been the venue hosting professional talent from the region. Trolley Dances is an annual event performed

by San Diego Dance Theater in coordination with the Metropolitan Transit System, which features a series of dance numbers at various stops along the San Diego Trolley, with the audience riding the trolley with the performers. The 2011 Trolley Dances used the Santee Trolley Square shopping center and Santee Transit Center for three of the six dance numbers, and that year’s program in East County was very successful.

Perhaps the School of Ballet Arts captures it best by simply proclaiming...

“Dance is a Celebration of Life.”

Mr. Golden Sun Living in beautiful San Diego we are known for our wonderful relationship with a large mass of fire that provides us light, heat, and life. However, our relationship is dual in nature. The same sun that helps us sustain life also manages to harm us as well.

We commonly can refer to “light” as the visible colors of the rainbow that lie on a much broader electromagnetic spectrum. This larger spectrum is defined by visible light and other wavelengths of light that we can not see. If we had the capability to see beyond the “red” end of the rainbow we would see “infrared” light and if we could see beyond the “violet” end of the rainbow we would see ultraviolet light or UV rays. UV light is classified into many categories but the ones we are most concerned with are UVA, UVB, and UVC. Most of the UV reaching the earth is UVA, a known carcinogen that penetrates deep into the layers of the skin. A cumulative dose of UVA over time can cause direct changes to the DNA of skin cells causing skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Tanning booths mostly utilize UVA rays to create that nice tan. At the same time a person who uses this method of tanning increases the risk of skin cancer from 1.5 to 2.5 times more than an individual who does not.

Exposure to UVB causes skin damage that is more superficial causing redness and a “sun burn. These rays cause damage from reflections off of water or snow. The ozone layer blocks UVC so it is not as much of a concern as UVA and UVB light.

Not only do UV rays affect the skin but they also play a role in ageing and damaging the eyes. Being out on a snowy slope in the middle of the day without sunwear can cause damage or sunburn to the corneas or front part of the eyes. One may experience a great deal of pain if this occurs. Over time UV exposure can cause the crystalline lens within the eye to age faster causing cataracts or opacities within. Cataracts can cause a decrease in vision

and difficulty performing activities like driving. Recently, research is suggesting that UV rays can cause damage to the retina or the sensory tissue in the back of the eye that provides us sight. It is known that people with macular degeneration have less pigment (protective UV absorbing cells) in their retinas and additional UV exposure can further damage the eye.

Dermatologists recommend coating the skin with minimum SPF 15 broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sun block 15 minutes before going outdoors to all exposed areas. Reapply sun block every two hours or after heavy sweating or getting out of the water. Wear a broad brim hat and sleeved shirts when you can to achieve full protection and stay out of direct sun during the mid day. “SPF” is a rating system so “SPF 15” means it will take 15 times longer for the skin to redden compared to skin without the sun block.

To protect the eyes wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB light. Larger lenses aid to protect the skin around the eyes as well. Thicker temples help block light coming from the side. Polarized lenses don’t necessarily provide much more UV protection but they can block glare and improve vision in certain conditions (sun glare from wet roads, water, and snow). Fancy sunglasses are not a must but UV protection is.

Enjoy your summer safely Santee and remember protect yourself and your children so that they may enjoy many more summers to come!

Preventing Crimes of Opportunity With all that warmer weather approaching, it is important to remember that this time of year can often lead to an increase in crimes of opportunity.

Enjoy the summer weather and cooling off at night is a chance for unlocked doors or windows to allow for someone to enter your home or vehicle. For a crime to occur an opportunity has to exist and a motivated criminal has to be present. By locking your doors and windows, you’re taking away that opportunity and usually a thief will move on to another target.

If you plan on having your home or business fumigated, consider extra steps to protect your home and valuables: • Store expensive items and treasured heirlooms elsewhere • Keep all windows and doors locked • Tell trusted neighbors and ask them to keep an eye out for suspicious activity • Contact the Sheriff’s Station to request extra patrol during the process You can receive a free security consultation at any time to be offered tips on how to “harden” your residence or business and prevent crime.

Call (619) 956-4000 to increase patrol during fumigation or to schedule a security consultation appointment.

Summer is a popular time to travel, but if you leave town, be sure to fill out a Vacation Home Check request form with the Sheriff’s Station. Volunteer Patrol will: • Perform security inspections outside your home • Ensure your doors, windows and garage are locked • Hide your newspapers/packages • Report anything suspicious to a deputy • Send a welcome home letter listing dates your home was checked and observations made during the visits To take advantage of this free service, complete the form online at www.sdsheriff.net and return it to the Santee Station at 8811 Cuyamaca Street.

In the event you’re the victim of a theft, you should be prepared to provide law enforcement with information to positively identify recovered property as your own.

Keep a record of all serial numbers, identifying marks, and photographs of your valuables and store this information electronically where it can be accessed remotely. However, taking proper precautions and making sure to utilize free services can give even the most concerned resident the peace of mind needed to enjoy the summer.

Remember to report all suspicious activity by calling the non-emergency number at (858) 565-5200. If there is an emergency, call 911.
