HELLO SANTEE! As I write this message, I am saddened to think I have to start by saying our organization has some unpleasant news.

Recently, we had a member of our Board of Directors pass away and he will be sorely missed. Jim Peasley was an amazing person in many ways. Not only was he a trusted addition to our board, he was an incredible community contributor, resourceful mentor, and a family man throughand-through. More about Jim can be found on page 32.

As we see a seasonal shift and approach the fall, I’m always grateful for what the previous season has given, and for the Chamber, our summer was still so full of celebration.

Bringing back our Santee Street Fair over Memorial Day weekend was the most work our staff had put into that event in my tenure at the Chamber. We seemed to reach hurdle after hurdle but for me personally, I could have never kept jumping if it weren’t for the support of our Office Manager Jennae Gonzalez and our Event Chair Tim Staump. Many stepped in on the day of the event as well, but none more so than community volunteer Charlie Plavi. These three were really there to carry us across the finish line and I am in their debt for their contributions. Looking forward, we are giddy with excitement as the new school year begins for campuses near and far and we continue to guide our children into their next phase of lives. Much like beginning a school year, I see the anticipation of local companies who are hopeful for their futures yet also anxious about how to get there. As we see an upward trend in personal health and hope to move more towards an “endemic”, we try to understand more about business health as we seek to prioritize the needs of our business community.

East County is no stranger to proud, blue collar work being a large part of said business community. In fact, it has been a dominant part of my homelife as my husband has always been in construction trades of some sort, thus preparing him to become a business owner himself very recently. This foundation (pun intended) was set by tradework being widely respected in our region and opportunities abound. We have provided what we see as a wonderful lifestyle for ourselves and our two kids with his career playing a large role in the security for our family. But why the huge lack of employees now in trades? Like many other industries, we have seen an older generation reach the age of retirement without a large enough pipeline to fill their absence once gone. Tradework is more in need of quality employees than ever before and their line of work is what we can now call “essential” or “pandemic proof”, if you will. The strength of having an essential profession is something to not only be proud of, but to encourage young people to take into consideration as they look at their own futures. Reaching these career paths may not have the most obvious route (like going to a four year university), but the pathways that exist are available, right here in our region, and imperative to keeping our society operational. If you or someone you know are looking for a career in the trades, please consider the versatile post-high school educational opportunities that exist for these jobs.

CHAIR'S MESSAGE It’s official, fall is right around the corner, and that means that schedules are hectic, the weather is STILL hot, and time seems to go by faster than ever. With over half of this year behind us, we have so much to reflect on.

I am in awe that we are about to say hello to fall. Kids are back in school and business is humming. Now is a great time to stop and evaluate. It allows us the opportunity to reflect on this year thus far and see where we have succeeded and where we have struggled.

One of our celebratory moments was the return of the Santee Street Fair and Craft Beer Festival. A successful event after a two-year hiatus. We saw over 150 merchandise and service vendors—offering thousands of items for sale from artisans, home services, fashion, and more. There was something for all ages. Kids rides were back alongside live performances from Expressions Dance & Movement Center, Staump Music School, and many more as MC Clint August carried us through the day. For the 21+ crowd, over a dozen local breweries and distilleries showcased their craft in the beer garden complete with a live DJ hosted by Deano’s Pub. In honor of Memorial Day we presented alongside the local Santee VFW Post 9327 a generous gift from Sycuan to this year's Gold Star Family. Our local fire station flew a giant American Flag above the stage and the festivities spanned the entire day. I’d like to personally thank our sponsors that helped make this day happen, Gechoff Orthodontics, Staump Music School, and Sycuan Casino Resort.

I'd be amiss if I didn't acknowledge that our Chamber of Commerce had a tough loss this summer. Board member Jim Peasly passed away. I met Jim through the Chamber of Commerce and I’d like to say I will truly miss his presence in this organization. He was the best cheerleader, he led with fair and tough questions and always finished with a positive, encouraging outlook. He was full of great conversation and business advice and truly added so much value to the chamber.

Thank you 2022 Chairman's Circle Members Community Champions

Community Conveners

As we look ahead to the remainder of 2022 our organization continues to reassess, shoot higher, and think about the future. We promise to continue to measure our goals, remember our “whys” and pursue being a proud advocate for a well-balanced community, supported by a healthy, expanding business community.

Have you taken note of our East County Young Professional (ECYP) group as of late? They are working hard to put together great events for young professionals who'd like to get more involved and network. Up next: Young Pros Mixer at the Padres game in September.

Community Catalyst

The Chamber is eagerly looking forward to a robust November! We kick off the month with our Veterans Appreciation Golf Tournament and finish it with our Taste of Santee event. Our annual Taste of Santee will be held on a new date, Giving Tuesday! This event will feature local eats and local non-profits. For our local food vendors who are interested in highlighting their cuisine please register now on our website. We will be hosting this event in The Plaza at Lantern Crest, who graciously donated their space for this year’s event. If you haven't seen this space, you are in for a treat – it’s gorgeous! Tickets and vendor registration are available on our website at www.SanteeChamber.com.

A S URGE O F RE S P EC T FO R T H E T R A DES AND O P P O R TU NITIES AB O U N D Since the pandemic and rapid changes in our economy, we have seen a surge in demand and a whole new found respect for those in the construction trades. Everyone should know that the vital skills our tradesmen and tradeswomen provide are essential to our communities. In light of the ongoing demand for these valuable trades, I find myself wondering why the construction trades would be overlooked as a viable career. Not just in demand—they provide great pay, excellent benefits, and rapid growth potential.

The demand is real. Since taking over our family company in 2016, my husband and I haven’t seen demand like we are seeing and hearing about today. I have spoken with many of my friends in the construction industry and there is no shortage of conversation on the topic. Even though we are experiencing it firsthand I am optimistic that it will turn around.

My husband (Mike Dombo, Raceway Electric & Solar) shares his perspective, saying, “People will be taking note of the rising pay for these skilled tradesmen, low to no debt for trade school education, shorter training schedules, and on-the-job training. This creates a very attractive opportunity just waiting to be tapped into.”

Sarah Wood with Allegiance Heating & Air comments on careers in the trades.

“To the women who are considering a career in the trades—as intimidating as it may seem, the majority of men in our industry are ready to support those who are new to the trades, despite gender.

Your success in the industry is up to you; opportunities are endless if you have the grit, passion, and willingness to learn.”

Beyond the demand for tradesmen, our local contractors are also an essential part of our community. When we take a closer look at the construction trades, it is nothing short of positive. Especially in East County, where it’s easy to see the community impact of this industry across a multitude of local projects. Local contractors are constantly investing back in the communities in which they live and work. Davis Roofing generously donated the roofs for the Santee homes that were destroyed back in October’s fatal plane crash. Please read more about Davis Roofing on page 27.

Robert Stacks at RDS Contracting also shared his thoughts with me. He said, “The construction field in general needs people who have the ability to take two-dimensional plans and build them into a three-dimensional field application. It sounds easy but way more difficult to implement. The field workers we deal with on a day-to-day basis are exceptionally smart and experienced. Majority have no college degrees but degrees in hard work and experience that you can't teach at college—yes these workers who want to excel within the trades have an unbelievable growth opportunity… They are needed and wanted in today's construction industry.”

As a local electrical contractor Raceway Electric was honored to help with the new Veterans Memorial here in Santee. We invited a trade school to take a field trip and watch what we were doing—sharing some tips and hands-on tricks-of-the-trade along the way. Mike reflected on this particular job experience saying, “I hope those students can drive by that monument and feel some pride that they were onsite for that build because I know I do.”

HVAC contractor Sarah Wood puts money back into local education.

Allegiance Heating & Air donates to the Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractor’s Academy of San Diego – a non-profit that supports the education and hands on training for tradesmen eager to learn a skilled trade.

We all have seen amazing work from the trades on social channels, and many have amassed HUGE followings. The hype is real.

This kind of exposure has really elevated the satisfaction of working with your hands—an online showcase shining a light on skilled trades work.

Allegiance Heating Air & Solar

The growth potential is there. Contractors are leveling up with modernization. “As a commercial electrician turned Electrical Contractor, the modernization of business systems and promotion of the trades make construction in residential services scalable and elevate our work.” says Mike Dombo, “Tradesmen can instantly share their craft online, work with integrated systems that perfect customer communication, GPS routing, log jobsite photos, SMS dispatching, and more. The sky really is the limit.”

The door is open. Skilled trade programs are readily available and easy to access. There is room for a whole new generation of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, builders, and more. From my perspective, the construction trades are a great career choice.

It can provide meaningful work, satisfaction in a skilled craft that is in demand, and a great living. We are looking forward to watching the trades grow.

Santee Lakes Ducks, Dogs & More at the Lakes Meet Jeffrey!

Not every bird at Santee Lakes has a name because we have over 230 species and thousands of birds that call Santee Lakes home, but some make a special connection with our guests and staff, like our favorite Snowy Egret, Jeffrey.

You can find Jeffrey along the shoreline looking for tasty fish or hitching a ride on the harvester while we “mow the lakes’, snapping up fish snacks as they make their way up the conveyor belt. He’s one smart bird.

Another special bird story involves our beautiful Wood ducks. At one time they were endangered, but Santee Lakes and other wildlife preserves implemented nesting programs that have successfully aided in a population increase. Great job, Santee!

Other park favorites are Junior the Great Blue heron and Hot Fire and Nibbles the original Canadian geese duo.

Regulars at our park have come to find that our birds have personalities, just like pets.

And although they are wild animals, we love them just the same.

What about Dogs?

Occasionally we are asked about our dog policies. Santee Lakes established ourselves as a bird and fish park long ago and are proud to be a migratory stop for many birds as well as the #1 hot spot for birding in San Diego County. Unfortunately, dogs disrupt wildlife, even when they’re leashed and well-behaved. There is also the issue of canine fecal matter, which carries a number of diseases and parasites that may be passed to our wildlife. Service Animals are allowed; however, all other pets (including therapy and emotional support animals) are not.

Dogs ARE Welcome in Designated Areas.

As a self-sufficient park and campground that does not receive Padre Dam rate payer or tax payer funds to operate, we’ve tried to strike the right balance for all of our guests, including a core base that comes to enjoy our wildlife. We allow dogs in the RV campground with registered campers and on our designated dog walk accessed through the Lake Canyon entrance.

The good news for dog walkers is the City of Santee has four dog parks, including an entire acre in Mast Park. Santee Lakes enjoys being a great compliment to City services and parks.

MY HOMETOWN A N IN TERVI EW WI TH LO C AL RES I D EN T ADAM ALISON You’ve been in Santee your whole life, why is it so important to you?

Santee has a strong community atmosphere, with a small town feel, while also being a growing city. It's a place where you can go all the way from kindergarten through high school and then your kids can follow behind you (and even have some of the same teachers). As Cajon Park and Santana High alumni, it’s been a blessing to watch my kids grow up on the same campuses where I have many memories of my own. Santee is so unique. It’s really a place where you can memorize names and faces of local business owners and employees, get to know them on a personal level, and feel a connection where you shop. It’s a great feeling.

Why do you strive to keep your business local?

First and foremost, it gives me the ability to give my potential clients a far more competitive bid than if I were traveling to other cities. It reduces my carbon footprint and gives me control over my individual environmental impact. It also gives me the ability to be an involved parent in school functions, sports and extracurricular activities for my kids. As I do things around town, I really enjoy being able to take local pride in my completed jobs. I see my work as a personal contribution to upgrading the town where I grew up; it really makes me feel like I’m doing my part to give back to the place we call “home”.

You started your company in your early twenties, what advice would you give to young people considering tradework for their career path?

From my experience, tradework is a never-ending industry that I realized (at a young age) would allow me to feed my family and be successful without having a formal education. Not to be mistaken though, there is a lot of struggle, hard work, and long hours that have gone along with it, but with that comes a huge sense of satisfaction and accomplishment of finishing something with my own two hands. Construction trades are needed more than ever in a modern society. It takes dedication and a willingness to oftentimes put projects ahead of your personal life because people's homes are in your hands and without continuing forward for them, their life can be on hold.

What do you love about the kind of work you perform?

For me, it’s the satisfaction of seeing a homeowner fall in love with their new space once completed. That alone is worth its weight in gold, even though this has also been fruitful for my family! I also have the thrill of meeting new people daily. You get to see their different flavors and tastes before even touching a job, which is exciting. It doesn’t just take the ability to do the work, it takes a personality for people to welcome you into their home and have a willingness to allow you to do work in their personal space. Earning my customers’ trust upfront is just as important as the work I put into their homes. Their satisfaction at the end of the project is front-of-mind the whole way through.

I specialize in additions, home remodels, office TI and more.

TIPS TO STAY PREPARED AND CONNECTED DURING A WILDFIRE, NATURAL DISASTERS residential customers and business customers like Cox that it will be implementing a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). In the event of a PSPS, Cox services may be interrupted in a neighborhood where power will be shut off.

During a wildfire or PSPS, Cox works closely with the power company and public safety agencies to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of its network and facilities to keep residential and business customers connected.

For Southern California residents, preparing and protecting your home or business in the event of a wildfire is a daily reality.

There are also some things Cox customers can do to better prepare for an unexpected event like a wildfire or Public Safety Power Shutoff.

A top priority for Cox during a wildfire or other natural disaster is to keep customers connected so they can stay informed, check in with family and friends, and even access their shows and movies while away from home.

Wildfire season now begins earlier and ends later than in years past, so Cox prepares all year long, reviewing its business continuity plan and running through mock wildfire events so employees in all facets of its operations will be prepared and know their role and responsibilities during a natural disaster.

Have a charged backup battery for your landline phone Most cordless home phones require electricity and won’t work in an outage. In addition, power is needed for telephone equipment and Cox’s network to be accessed. During an emergency, if Cox’s network is operating during a power outage, make sure you have a charged backup battery to help ensure you can receive a Reverse 911 call. You can purchase a backup battery by calling 855-324-7700 or visiting the Cox Solutions Store in Santee, 9349 Mission Gorge Rd.

When strong winds and other weather conditions create an increased risk for wildfires, the local power company may notify its

Get updates via Cox’s Twitter handle In the event of a PSPS, wildfire or natural disaster, Cox will post service outage updates,

tips and other important information on Twitter.

Customers can follow Cox at @coxcalifornia.

Download Cox apps before a wildfire or PSPS occurs • Cox app - Check on outages, stay up to date with text alerts and manage your account.

• Cox Contour app - Cox TV customers can access the latest news and weather and stream favorites to their mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

• Cox Voice Everywhere app - We recommend Cox Voice customers keep corded landlines and a fully charged backup battery for phone modems in case of emergency. To purchase your battery, call 855-324-7700 or visit your Cox store.

Portable generators may prolong your services In the event your power goes out, a generator may prolong your services if your Cox service location still has power. Check your generator's owner’s manual for details on power capacity and safe operation.

SANTEE SCOOP Hi, I’m John Olsen, a longtime resident and business advocate of Santee.

As an active member of the Santee Chamber I often showcase upcoming development projects and events around town.

Be sure to follow me for more on Facebook.com/SanteeUpdate

Davis Family Roofing has been a part of our East County community for more than 40 years. Mike Davis has lived in Santee all of his life, and is the owner of Davis Family Roofing after taking up the business that his father started.

Mike and Vanessa Davis have ingrained themselves into our community through their business, sponsorship of the Bulls Only Rodeo, and, most recently, their generosity to their neighbors.

“When it's your community, it matters to you and you do what you can.”

On October 11, 2021, our community was shaken by the fatal plane crash that took two lives and destroyed two homes on Greencastle. Mike saw the plane coming down and was present in the chaotic aftermath of it all, and he knew that he wanted to help in any capacity that he could. Davis Family Roofing is a small, local business, but they were the homeowners choice for the re-roofing of their homes. In describing his dedication to the project, Mike said, “We’re just one part of this entity, but when it’s your community, it matters to you and you do what you can.”

There is not yet an end date for the rebuilding of these homes, but the progress already being made by the generous members of our community assures us that there is an end in sight. Thank you so much for your contributions to the community!

- Janice Aylward

GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR MORE THAN JUST GREAT DANCE Keeping kids Happy, Healthy, and Safe - It’s what we do! The benefits that dance education provides are needed now more than ever. The past 2 years have taken their toll on all of us, and kids are no exception. They have missed out on important socialization, been stuck behind screens, and had fewer opportunities for self-expression. Dance class gives students an opportunity to make friends, learn to work as a team, and create collaboratively with others. In class, students get great exercise all while increasing musicality, balance, flexibility, strength, and body awareness. In addition, studies have shown that dancing decreases anxiety and depression. We partner with parents to provide a positive environment where kids can experience all the benefits described above and more!

Expressions Dance & Movement Center is a Youth Protection Advocates in Dance certified studio.

This means that all of our staff are background checked, CPR and First Aid Certified, and have received training on how to keep kids safe, both physically and emotionally. This summer we have added 2 new rooms and upgraded our other studios, all are equipped with sprung floors to protect dancers’ bodies. We keep kids and their wellbeing at the center of all that we do. Come in for a tour and see the EDMC difference!

PREPARING YOUR RÉSUMÉ Your résumé is the primary tool for communicating information about yourself to prospective employers.

Résumés follow a fairly standard format, which include Header, Objective, Skills, Experience, and Education. The layout of your résumé will change depending on the amount of work experience you have, as well as your level of experience in the field for which you are applying. If you don’t have much experience in the specific career field you are applying for, it’s best to detail your past work experience and relate the skills required in your previous jobs to the new job.

Do not lie, and do not stretch the truth. Have quality copies made from a fresh master copy. Included below are explanations of each section of your résumé and a sample résumé outline.

The Header should contain full name and all necessary contact information. Provide at least one phone number. If you have a cell phone, give that number. Be wary of any e-mail address or website URL you provide as you may be judged on the content of your website or the name on your e-mail address.

The Objective or Qualifications Summary: Keep objective simple. Don’t write fluffy statements about your desire to change the world through this job. Try to convey why you should be hired—your desire, work ethic, etc. If you have solid qualifications for the job, list those instead.

Skills: If you have limited experience, list your basic job skills. For the more experienced, include as many of the skills that are required for the job as possible, including computer skills, knowledge of specific business software, even specific tasks that you know the job will require.

Employment History or Work Experience: If you have experience, always include your most recent work experience at the top and include all relevant experience no matter how old. If you’ve had many job changes or short stints at jobs, be sure to explain why, but do not blame the job or previous employer.

Education: Include full details on your education including degrees and awards received. Include any relevant training classes for previous jobs.

JIM PEASLEY MEMORIAL It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Santee Chamber of Commerce Board Director, James “Jim” Peasley. Jim has served on our Board of Directors at the Santee Chamber since February of 2016. His regular contributions to goal setting, strategic planning and his outstanding volunteerism will be sorely missed. He was a regular source of wisdom and positive influence for our entire organization and he served on numerous committees over the years ranging from Government Affairs, Magazine/Communications, to safety roles as a member of the Advisory Committee for San Diego County’s CSA-69.

Jim was also well known for having served on the Padre Dam Municipal Water District’s Board since December of 2010, having served as Board President in 2014 and again in 2019, and Vice President in 2013, 2018 and 2022. Jim had over 35 years of experience in water, recycled water, and wastewater industries as a Registered Professional Civil Engineer, providing years of valuable service to our region.

He was a friend, mentor and great example of a generous being who regularly put family first and served his community well.

Our thoughts go out to all who knew and loved Jim, especially his wife Linda, who graciously shared his time with us.

PAM WILSON MEMORIAL It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Pam Wilson— she meant so much to so many. Family was lucky enough to call her wife, mom, nana, sister, and aunt. To the community, she was Director Pam Wilson.

Pam was a pioneer of female camaraderie and empowerment and enjoyed directing the Miss Santee, Miss La Mesa, and Miss California USA pageants for more than four decades. She opened her heart and home to generations of young women, mentoring them to be kind, bright, and loving representatives of our communities. Her style and grace were unmatched, and she was a beautiful soul inside and out.

In her last weeks, she spent time with family and friends and requested that Christmas decorations be put up in August so she could live each day as her favorite holiday.

She was warmed and humbled by the outpouring of love and support she received while she battled cancer over the last year. She passed away peacefully at home on August 17, 2022, surrounded by her family, who she loved so dearly.

While the world may have lost some of its sparkle, her legacy lives on in each of us and those she touched.
