Vista Chamber President & CEO Rachel Beld

This November, Vistans will have the opportunity to weigh in on several big changes to leadership for our City and our State Assembly and Senate Districts. Long-time Vista Mayor Judy Ritter will retire at the end of this year after 24 years on the City Council, with twelve of those as Mayor. At the time of writing, two candidates are vying for Mayor – Vista Deputy Mayor John Franklin and Vista Unified Board of Trustees President Cipriano Vargas. This will be the first time since 2002 that the Mayoral race will not include the incumbent.

In the District 4 City Council race, two candidates are competing for the open seat that John Franklin currently holds. Armen Kurdian and Dan O’Donnell both aim to represent the Shadowridge neighborhood. At the time of writing, no one has yet pulled papers to run against Corrina Contreras in District 1 who is also up for re-election.

At the State level, recent redistricting means that Vista will no longer be part of the 76th Assembly District which is currently represented by Tasha Boerner Horvath. New lines were drawn placing Vista in the 74th Assembly District with Oceanside, Camp Pendleton, and several Orange County Cities. Assembly Member for the current 73rd District, Laurie Davies will compete with Chris Duncan, currently San Clemente Mayor Pro-Tem, for the 74th District.

Visit vistachamber.org for information on voter registration

In the State Senate, long-time Senator Pat Bates is retiring leaving District 38 open to two new candidates. Current Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear and Orange County Businessman Matt Gunderson are both running for this seat.

At the Federal level, Representative Mike Levin will face former San Juan Capistrano Mayor Brian Maryott for the 49th Congressional District, which was also amended by the redistricting process, though Vista’s District remains the same.

There are several other important elections impacting Vista including the races for Districts 2 and 3 of Vista Unified School District Board of Trustees as well as Tri-City Medical Center Board Members for Zones 2, 4 and 6. There are also ballot measures and other state-wide races to follow.

If all this seems like too much to follow, don’t worry! The Vista Chamber plans to host candidate forums this fall for several of the races mentioned. Keep an eye on our website and social media to be alerted to opportunities to connect with candidates for these races. You can also visit our website and subscribe to our newsletter to be alerted about all our events and activities.

After several years of uncertainty in the world around me, I feel a sense of relief and ownership knowing that I have a vote and a voice in the upcoming elections. It’s important to be informed and vital that we all exercise our right to VOTE. Cheers,

Rachel *The candidate information shared was accurate at the time of writing this article.

riginators of Booze Brothers Brewing Dave and Donny Firth are brothers, but also the best of friends. Dave is the enthusiastic, big picture guy. His focus is on growth and sustainability, and he is the GM of the business. Donny on the other hand is the polar opposite. He is analytical by nature and his strengths are in areas like payroll, HR and data. Together they perfectly complement each other to run the Vista brewery, along with Josh Thompson who helps keep things on track with his marketing and management expertise. They opened for business when craft brewing burst on the scene in San Diego, and by their estimate they are one of the first 100 breweries to hit San Diego County.

VISTACHAMBER.ORG

Like so many hopeful brewers, they started in their garage, experimenting and crafting back in 2008. They began by producing 5-gallon batches, quickly moving to 15 and then to 20-gallon. They packed out their parents’ garage nightly with friends and music, offering free beer from multiple taps. When they realized that they were onto something and wanted to turn this from a hobby into a full-time business, Dave sold his pool cleaning company and Donny who was a student at the time started dedicating more of his time to getting the business up and running.

In 2013 they moved into a 2,800 square foot space on Progress Street. They grew so quickly that in no time they increased their footprint in the park. They currently occupy 10,000 square feet at this location. Today, they have several branches of the businesses under their belts. Not only do they run this original tasting room with an inviting patio and a rustic and gracious event room called The Wood Shed, they also have an on-site canning line, and they offer delicious food selections from Pizza Brothers. Within the last two years they have also opened a tasting room in Oceanside, an event space in downtown Vista called The Vistonian, and they began occupying space at The Mill in Fallbrook, complimenting the shop founded by their sister Tiffany, with both their brews and pizza.

As with every business during COVID-19, they struggled. They did not know if they would continue to have jobs when the mandates fell, or how they could stay afloat with production lines shut down and the tap rooms shuttered. That’s when everyone got scrappy and pitched in finding ways to keep moving forward, even turning down paychecks until the storm passed. They made it through the pandemic with full employee retention, which is impressive, and have since doubled their staff. The can-do attitude that presses on and refuses to stagnate is responsible for that. At Booze Brothers, everyone knows what needs to get done, is good at what they do and has a great time doing it ... together as a team.

Booze Brothers is an event-focused brewery and bring in an elevated level of musical performers and regularly host art shows from local talent. From the minute you cross their threshold, they want you to have a good time. Their question is always “how can we create the coolest experience ever” for our customers. Their tap room is a place where art, live music, great beer, food and celebrations are all intertwined and that is important to their mission. Come hang out and see what it’s all about.

You can find the OG Booze Brothers Brewery at 2545 Progress Street in Vista. They are open 7 days a week, including lunch hours. Find them on Instagram and Facebook or at

Vista's diverse business landscape has recently expanded thanks to Mario and Veronica Cabrera & their newly opened Sabor a Vida Cafe & Deli.

As Vista's first and only fully vegan establishment, they are proud to introduce unique and delicious flavors to our community of vegan and non-vegan customers alike.

change. With extensive research, they learned and figured out how to eat better and feel healthier. After discovering a plant-based diet, they noticed they had much more energy. Veronica said, “We work so much because we have the energy.” She explained, “When you eat meat, your body consumes 80% of energy to digest animal products. Only 20% is left to carry you through the day. When you eat plant-based food, your body only uses 25-35% of energy.

We get full and sometimes overeat, but after half an hour, it’s back to normal.”

Sabor a Vida was born out of Mario’s vast experience of working as a chef and Veronica’s savvy business skills as a clothing store owner. Together, they turned their long-awaited dream of owning a restaurant into a reality. In a search for the right place for their cafe, they came across a vacant suite in the plaza near Shadowridge and Sycamore and felt an immediate connection with the business space. The conveniently located corner unit is the perfect spot offering seating inside as well as on the shaded outdoor patio.

The cafe was a success from day one.

Initially their first customers came from Facebook and Instagram. Soon, new customers turned into loyal ones.

Nowadays, most of their business comes from word of mouth and stellar reviews. Even though their dishes and beverages are entirely vegan, they have gained popularity with non-vegan customers too. Mario and Veronica, with the help of their daughter Nathaly, created a flourishing family business.

As Veronica pointed out, “Earth is everything for us! That’s how we get our food and all the flavors coming together.” In fact, the name Sabor a Vida means Flavor of Life. Many flavors come from nature. For Veronica, it’s synonymous with the flavors they have experienced in their personal life and its many ups and downs. Honoring their origin and native roots, she enjoys naming some of their menu items in Spanish.

As she stated, “All names are chosen very carefully.” Her personal favorite is Tierra Salad (Earth Salad), which as she

admitted is so delicious, she can eat it every day. Their customers’ favorites are Chickpea Tuna and Morning Glory Burrito. These delightful dishes are carefully crafted to bring out the many flavors of vegan ingredients. Eggs are made from mung beans, which taste similar to regular eggs and can be scrambled or made as an omelette. Don’t think you can have bacon? Think again!

Their fully vegan bacon is popular with vegan as well as non-vegan customers.

From a vast offering of hot and cold beverages to delectable wraps, bowls, sandwiches and fresh vegan pastries, their menu is gleaming with tasteful and healthy choices.

Veronica’s goal is for more people to try a plant-based diet while changing the way people eat and think about food.

As local residents and business owners, they are looking forward to spreading their passion and getting involved in our community. They are excited to welcome you at 735 Shadowridge Drive in Vista every day from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. You can also learn more at www.saboravidacafeanddeli.com.

Hello Vista!

CHAIRMAN'S

CORNER

Chair of the Board Dave Baldwin

As the new Chairman of the Board for the Vista Chamber of Commerce, I want to say THANK YOU for your continued support of the Vista business community and all that you do to make Vista such an amazing city! It is an absolute honor to be a part of this organization and to serve this community.

I first joined the Vista Chamber of Commerce as an employee of a large financial services firm, and through the networking and relationships formed with other business leaders, I gained the confidence to branch out on my own as an Independent Financial Planner. Chamber membership also helped me with several other personal and professional achievements. I wrote and published my first book titled The Balancing Act (available at all major online bookstores) after meeting another Chamber member who specialized in helping authors self-publish books.

Vista has provided so many opportunities for me as a great place to grow my business and also for my wife Andrea and me to raise our family. We attend North Coast Church here in Vista and lead a weekly Life Group bible study through the church.

I am excited about the year ahead, especially when you think about where we have been. We recently held the annual Heroes of Vista event where we celebrate so many important people that make a difference in Vista. It was amazing to be back in person, mingling and visiting with city and business leaders, but what stood out to me was the theme that was chosen for this event. Past, present, and future.

As I start this role with the Chamber, I can’t help but think about how significant that theme of past, present, and future is to this organization and this moment. The Chamber is almost 100 years old and I will have an opportunity to help make that centennial celebration special, but I am reminded of those who have held this post before me and the people and businesses that have formed this community into what it is today. I recognize how special it is to be here in this moment, seeing the city reemerge from the pandemic and get back to a more normal way of life.

With the re-opening of Vista businesses and in-person live events, celebrating the present becomes so much more significant. The Strawberry Festival this past summer was estimated to be the most attended event in our history. The streets were crowded with festival-goers and thanks in part to a successful 5k run people from all over southern California came to our town to celebrate with us. The Moonlight Amphitheater has returned to a full schedule of live events and the construction along Paseo Santa Fe has transformed a portion of our city and made even more room for people to live and for businesses to thrive.

As I look into the future of Vista, I know that others will take on this position and that many more city and business leaders will contribute to this community. I know that I must pass the torch to the next in line and that we all share the responsibility to leave our community to the next generation better than we found it.

I ask that you take this step with me and invest in the future of the Vista business community by joining the Chamber, attending Chamber-sponsored events, and continuing to support local Vista businesses with our patronage. It is all of our responsibility to take care of the gift we have and to pass it along to whoever comes next.

7 Water Safety Tips for Kids Swimming pool safety rules parents of little children should know

Robert Coles, MD, Pediatrician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad.

When the weather gets hot, it’s nice to have a pool in the backyard where the kids can play and cool off.

With proper preparation, pools can be both fun and very safe. Without it, accidents can happen. Young children are most at risk.

Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death in children younger than 4, right after car accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of these drownings unfortunately happen with unsupervised children.

“Young children are curious and like to explore, which is why it is so important to keep a close eye on them when they’re in or near water, and to never leave them alone or unsupervised,” says Robert Coles, MD, a pediatrician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad. “Just as important is to know what to do in case of an accident.”

Follow these simple tips for water safety.

1. Never leave children alone in or near the pool for any reason

Constant and focused adult supervision helps keep children safe around water.

That means no distractions that would take your eyes away from a child in or near a pool. “You want to make sure they’re staying safe,” Dr. Coles says.

“Drowning can happen fast.”

You can teach your children to swim to help lower the risk of drowning. Swim lessons can begin for many children as early as 1. Just understand that learning to swim is only one of several layers of protection against drowning.

“Even if they’ve had swim lessons, they still need to be closely supervised when they are in or around water, Dr. Coles says.

2. Keep gated pools Pool fencing is widely recommended to help prevent drownings. Most young children who drown in pools wander out of the house and fall into a pool that was not fenced off from the house.

Fences should be at least 4 feet high without anything that the child could use to climb over the fence. Gates should be self-closing and self-latching. The latch

should be out a child’s reach. Slat space should be small enough to prevent a child to squeeze through the fence.

A pool safety cover adds protection but should not be used in place of fencing between the house and the pool.

3. Go over pool rules Go over the rules for how and when to use the pool with your children and review them again whenever there are guests using the pool. The basic pool rules are:

5. Don’t rely on floaties for water safety Young children should wear a life jacket that is Coast Guard-approved when in or around water. Make sure they fit properly.

Do not rely on floaties or other airfilled swimming aids. They are not safety devices.

6. Practice touch supervision

• No diving headfirst into the shallow sections of the pool

Whenever children under 5 are in or around the pool, an adult should be within arm’s reach of the child, even if he or she knows how to swim. This is known as touch supervision.

• No swimming alone

7. Learn CPR

• No running, pushing or shoving

Sometimes accidents happen. It’s important to know what to do in case of an emergency. Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills. CPR certification classes are available through the American Red Cross, hospitals and community centers.

Post these rules near the pool and enforce them.

4. Designate a lifeguard If you have a pool party, make sure a responsible adult is actively watching children in or near the water. Consider using a badge or a label to clearly identify them as a water watcher or designated lifeguard. Adult supervisors should not be engaged in activities that would distract their attention.

Mayor's Musings Mayor Judy Ritter

Vista is Vibrant, Thriving, and Strong!

There is no doubt that our downtown summer scene is heading in the right direction. First, we live where many take their vacation, so the lure of a staycation is great. Plus, in addition to Vista’s summertime mainstays like the Wave Waterpark and Moonlight Amphitheater, there are new restaurants and brewhouses that are making this summer a particularly good time to spend in the city. Some new businesses are even blending exceptional dining and drinking experiences with innovative visions to do better business, such as CoLab, Everytable, and Pure Project.

Our downtown area is so vital to the economic health of our community, and we have been thoughtful and

diligent in how Paseo Santa Fe, Vista Village and the downtown corridor connect to one another together. With this in mind, we recently launched our “Clean and Safe” downtown program using community ambassadors to enhance the safety, cleanliness, and welcoming nature of downtown for residents and visitors. So, with the extra summertime daylight, we encourage everyone to enjoy Vista’s collection of businesses, restaurants, and shops across the city!

Judy

In memorium Thank you, Tom and Fred for your longtime commitment to the Vista community. We won’t forget your investment in our local economy. Your legacy lives on.

American Soju - Award Winning Vodka

By Elizabeth Bickford

If you want to enjoy a low-calorie and

delicious spirit look no

further than American Soju. Never heard of

Soju? Well, simply put, American Soju is a Korean vodka!

16

VISTACHAMBER.ORG

What sets them apart from other vodkas is the low sugar content, its alcohol content, and incredibly smooth taste! Other brands on the market need to be drowned in mixers or fruits in order to be consumed but the American Soju flavor stands alone and can be enjoyed just as produced.

After trying soju himself, Marc Song saw an opportunity in the spirit market for a low calorie and low ABV soju to be made.

He knew that with the right ingredients he could make a great tasting product.

Made with the finest ingredients and Rocky Mountain water, American Soju was soon introduced to the world!

American Soju has a 20% alcohol content, making it an easy to drink spirit. Consumers love the naturally gluten free product that features zero sugars and zero carbs. Right away the brand was well received by those who tried it, and in-store tastings were helping the product sellout frequently. Soon the brand began to receive recognition and awards at festivals. American Soju offers

four flavors: watermelon, lemon, cucumber, and Original. Watermelon is one of its most award-winning flavors and a crowd favorite!

Prior to the shutdowns they had found a home in local liquor and grocery stores.

Now, with the restrictions relaxing, tastings returning to markets, and events starting again American Soju is looking forward to re-introducing itself to the market. In conjunction, they are releasing a new and exciting product called Sojurita. As you might have guessed this is going to be a delicious, canned Soju based margarita! This will be available in late Summer and will make a great addition to menus at local gastropubs and pizza parlors.

This award-winning spirit calls Vista, California its home! Marc Song, the owner of both American Soju and Rugged Ranch, chooses to operate in Vista due to its central location. Marc believes Vista is a great homebase, especially if you do business in both Orange County and San Diego. Vista is conveniently located between both making it a good logistical choice.

American Soju also ships to Canada which was Marc’s primary reason for joining the Vista Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber can provide a point of origin documentation with ease, and this is key when shipping outside of the US. The chamber can provide this documentation for shipments, and it is a useful benefit for Chamber members. The value of the Vista Chamber of Commerce membership is clearly demonstrated by Marc having both of his businesses enrolled as members. Additionally, the chamber has helped facilitate beneficial networking opportunities. Connections in the community can lead to collaborations and valuable insight.

Locally you can find American Soju at the Seaside Market in Cardiff. If you are looking for other locations or delicious cocktail recipes (like a Lemon Droptini) visit their website: www.americansoju.net. If you can’t find American Soju at your local market, be sure to ask for it.

Vista Fresh Cut Barber Offers Cutting Edge Haircuts

By Barb Miltenberger Fransisco Gonzalez, the owner of Vista Fresh Cut Barber, knew the neighborhood very well when he opened business there. In fact, he moved to the city of Vista, just doors away from his shop when he was just 13 years old. Back in those days, South Santa Fe Drive was a bit more, shall we say…gritty, and he would ride the street on his skateboard. He does recall a barber being in the very building he occupies decades ago, and how one day the owner of the shop called out to him as he skated by and invited him in for a free haircut.

Fransisco is a veteran who served in our military, and he has also spent two decades in the construction industry. Owning a barbershop was not part of his vision when he was younger. Perhaps it was coincidence, or perhaps it was destiny, but one day while he and his wife Diana were driving down South Santa Fe, they noticed a for rent sign on the building where Fransisco was offered that free hair cut as a teenager, around the corner from his childhood home. They decided to take a leap of faith and signed the lease, doing a full remodel, mostly themselves.

When Fransisco and Diana opened the business, they were not aware of the amount of work that was going to be taking place on South Santa Fe in the coming months. The construction and improvements on the road made staying in business very tough for Fresh Cut as well as everyone else on the street. The community was avoiding that part of town while everything was

torn up, and this went on for almost two years.

This was challenging, especially when just opening and trying to establish a clientele. Then 2020 hit and brought COVID-19. They were forced to dip into his retirement account to stay afloat and Fransisco became a hound at procuring grants.

Though open for almost four years, they feel that the shop just began flourishing a year ago, being able to put those trying days and unfortunate circumstances behind them. Today they feel so happy and blessed by the beauty and appeal of the newly designed and upgraded Paseo Santa Fe and proud to be part of the positive change.

Fresh Cut Barber Shop seeks to stand out in the industry with a higher level of cleanliness, friendliness, and an inviting atmosphere.

Clinical Cleanrooms Come to Vista

By Anne McDonnell

Certain biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes require sterile spaces, and those spaces are complex and expensive. Enter Azzur Group’s Cleanrooms on Demand, which offers cleanrooms and regulation storage space to biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies for clinical manufacturing. One of its newest facilities opened in Vista in April 2021, and the company is enjoying the benefits of its location “in the heart of the San Diego biotech community,” according to Dan Dernbach, Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand Senior Vice President of Global Operations.

cated service is ultimately the support and expertise we provide. Our goal is to allow our partners to focus solely on the manufacturing and not have to worry about supporting the facility.” Included with the cleanroom are security/access control, pest control, cleaning, environmental monitoring, waste management, and basic cleanroom equipment.

Compared to similar services, the Vista location offers reduced waiting times.

With traditional models, says Dernbach, “customers are waiting upward of 18 months for space, [but] we can, in many cases, have our clients producing within 3 months.”

Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand has a broad range of clients, and each client receives customized support based on their specific needs, says Dernbach.

“These could be small companies with only a few drug candidates in the pipeline who are just starting clinical manufacturing, all the way to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the industry.”

Since opening in Vista, the community has been very supportive. “We have had a good working experience with the city,… and the Vista Economic Development Group has also been a great resource to us,” says Dernbach. And, he notes, “even the Deputy Mayor came and spoke at our ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

What’s unique about Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand is that it allows clients to use their own staff without the need for facility ownership. Often, lack of manufacturing infrastructure and compliance expertise can be a major hurdle. Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand helps clients overcome that hurdle.

Says Dernbach, “We bring both space and a high level of support services to our partners to enable their manufacturing.” In addition, the cleanroom service is “not purely leasing of space,” Dernbach says. “Our clients are our partners.… We work collaboratively with them to support them throughout their time in our facility…. The dedi-

been working diligently to attract more companies to the area, allowing more opportunities for us to expand our business with new potential partners.”

Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand also supports the local community. Its services give Azzur clients a reason to start operations in the region. Says Dernbach, “these clients and Azzur are bringing quality jobs to the area. We are hiring scientists, engineers, and a host of other positions for Vista, which adds to the local economy.”

With the business growth in Vista comes the need for services to support these various new companies. Azzur

"Our goal is to allow our partners to focus solely on the manufacturing and not have to worry about supporting the facility.”

The Vista location allows Azzur Cleanrooms on Demand to be close to clients throughout San Diego County, but also within reach of Orange County. Additionally, Dernbach states, “Vista has

Cleanrooms on Demand supports the San Diego biotech community and allows those businesses to move into new areas of the market, including Vista. A win for these businesses and a win for Vista!

VISTACHAMBER.ORG

On behalf of the Vista Unified School Board of Trustees and the entire Vista team, I would like to officially announce the adoption of our new Framework for the Future. We will retain our motto as a district that strives for excellence and innivation in all that we do. The framework contains three new components: our vision, a set of portraits, and our values. We will be focusing our efforts throughout the year operationalizing our new framework for the future so that all students have the opportunity to learn and grow in the most dynamic, relevant, and supportive educational environment possible.

A “vision” is a bold leap into the future, painting a vivid picture of a destination - a “north star” that guides collective action and shapes the strategies to make it a reality. A vision is long range (10-15 years), helping us step outside the present and reimagine the possibilities of the future. Organizational changes take time, and longer time frames encourage us to be proactive and to anticipate and plan for changes.

Vista Unified Vision

Superintendent's Corner

Every student graduates from Vista Unified as a resilient, agile learner and creative problem solver who navigates the world with confidence and kindness and eagerly embraces local and global challenges.

To support our collective efforts to reach for this new vision, we have also worked with our community for more than ten months to develop three key portraits within our organization that will guide our work to realize our new vision for the future.

1

The first, a Learner Portrait, envisions the outcomes for students. It describes the community’s aspirations for what learners will know, be, and be able to do, in order to thrive in their lives and careers.

Learner Portrait Kind and Confident

• Students are positive, patient, appreciative, reliable, and responsible.

• Students are resilient, self-directed learners who are self-aware and focused on a hopeful future.

Curious and Connected • Students are inquisitive, innovative, and able to adapt to new ideas, and situations.

• Students are committed to positively impacting their family, their community, and the world.

Capable and Knowledgeable • Students develop and apply deep core academic knowledge and skills and can make connections across subjects.

• Students know how to purposefully adapt communication to deliver information.

2

The second, an Adult Portrait, articulates the qualities that all adults working in the school district - not just classroom teachers - will demonstrate in order to support each student’s journey toward realizing the Portrait.

Adult Portrait

Compassionate Champion

• Adults are motivating, inspiring, kind, compassionate, and empathetic champions for all students.

• Adults see and support all students, family members, and co-workers from a strength-based perspective, including inherent cultural wealth and identity.

• Adults hold high expectations for all students (just hard enough) while feeding aspirations and possibility-thinking (future self).

Flexible and Innovative Facilitator • Adults work well together, are trustworthy, honest, and committed to collaborate and to build connections with students, families, and other staff.

• Adults support learning that is student-centered, innovative, and tailored to meet the individual strengths, interests, aspirations, and needs of students.

Open-Minded and Equity-Centered Learner • Adults are learners open to new ideas, strategies, and practices that lead to continuous improvement in order to serve each and every student well.

• Adults engage in practices that are free from bias, are anti racist, and build on the unique strengths each learner brings to the classroom or each colleague brings to their role.

Matt Doyle, Ed.D.

3

The third, a System Portrait, outlines what the system needs to do to create the conditions that will enable the adults in the system to support every student to successfully attain the Learner Portrait.

System Portrait

Inclusive Culture Focused on Growth

• Our system builds a culture that fosters equity, empathy, and inclusion.

• Our system reinforces a values and strengths-based culture of growth.

Joyful, Innovative, Rigorous, and Equitable Learning Environments • Our system supports a culture of joyful learning, educational rigor, and innovation.

• Our system promotes care, belonging, and connection.

• Our system fosters creativity, curiosity, and engagement.

Future-Oriented, Forward Thinking • Our system is designed to be future-oriented and aligned to a dynamic, fast-paced global ecosystem.

• Our system creates sustainably designed, future-focused learning environments.

Family and Community Partnerships • Our system is built on a foundation of active community and business partnerships.

• Our system intentionally supports collaboration with schools and the community to provide service and real world experiences.

All of the efforts we have made with our community to reset our vision for the future and to outline the key elements of the learner, adult, and system portraits are grounded in our core values as an organization. Core Values illustrate how we will behave and treat each other along the way toward realizing our vision through the application of our three portraits.

Core Values

Respect: Knowing, valuing, and treating all with dignity

Trust: Focusing every decision on the best interests of our learners through transparency, honest communication, and integrity Collaboration: Creating a culture of continuous improvement, working in partnership with students, families, staff, and the community

Equity: Valuing diversity and providing equitable access and resources across the district for all students and adults to reach their full potential

Kindness: Developing a compassionate, nurturing and kind learning and working environment

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome all students, staff, and families back to school. We are excited to continue our drive to make learning exciting, meaningful, and relevant for all students as they set their path to a bright future and successful career upon graduation.

Aging with grace and dignity is important to all, especially those who have lived an independent life. A new facility, San Diego PACE, is offering a solution for independence through an all-inclusive care facility for the elderly. Their new facility in San Diego County is located in Vista. The city was chosen to meet North County’s growing need for elder care facilities. In cooperation with the nationwide program San Diego PACE, operated by San Ysidro Health, is offering valuable services to those in need.

28

VISTACHAMBER.ORG

SD PACE is allowing for the program participants to remain in their communities by providing the necessary care and coordinating health services all on site. This model is unique and provides a balance of independence and comprehensive care needed in aging communities. This newly remodeled and spacious 28,000 squarefoot facility offers a variety of services on site. Full transportation and care management is offered through PACE. You might ask what is PACE? PACE is a nationwide program that stands for “providing all-inclusive care for the elderly”. This is a health plan with comprehensive coverage for medical, dental, vision, medication assistance, and long-term care. In order to qualify for the program, the applicant must be 55 years or older and have housing in a qualifying ZIP Code. The program is free if you qualify for no out of pocket cost medical. This program is especially beneficial to those with dementia, depression, and chronic illness, the participant also receives adult day services including activities, meals, showers, and laundry.

Additionally, SD PACE offers on-site access to social work and home care. The clinic also has physical therapy, occupational therapy, home care, psychiatry, acupressure, and a range of other services.

The comprehensive dementia management services including quiet rooms and safety measures in place to keep the facility secure and comfortable are very reassuring. PACE is an excellent resource for low-income seniors looking to manage their health through an allin-one program.

Upon touring the location, it was clear that the enrolled participants are greeted with care and kindness. This clean and welcoming space is designed for both clinical and social interaction. The adult day services offer a wide variety of activities including arts and crafts, games, and hands on projects. Most impressive are the care providers available to assist with individual issues. This location is not only equipped to provide hygienic and nutritional services, but they can answer questions about health benefits and even help explain various pieces of mail the participant may have received.

Providing touch points on topics like this can help set the participants mind at ease.

San Diego PACE is design to service specific ZIP Codes in North San Diego County. This recently opened facility is located at 1840 West Dr., Vista, CA. This location is currently accepting new participants.

If you or someone you know might be interested in touring San Diego PACE please contact Alan Tornel, marketing supervisor, at (619) 218–5955 or email Alan.Tornel@syhealth.org. It is important to the staff at San Diego PACE to provide a full tour and comprehensive understanding of the program and availability to make enrollment as easy as possible!

Local Foundation Supports Female Veterans

By Julie Smith Taylor

32

VISTACHAMBER.ORG

“The easiest thing anyone can do is, when you think about our military and those who have served, remember that women served, too...

”

or some women veterans the transition to civilian life can be a real struggle. It can be challenging to find a new job in the private sector, access affordable daycare, or even find a place to live with the shortage of housing and the cost-of-living skyrocketing.

To provide that support and ensure they have opportunities to succeed, the Foundation for Women Warriors (FFWW) is here to assist. Established in Los Angeles in June of 1920, the Foundation originally called the California Soldiers’ Widows Home Association, helped house widows, war nurses, and mothers of fallen service members. As the roles of women began to shift, the organization began serving women veterans in increasing numbers and eventually changed its name to Military Women in Need.

In 2016, now CEO Jodie Grenier came on board and spearheaded a rebranding of the organization. “We believed the previous name didn’t fully honor the service of our women veteran community,” says Grenier. “We wanted to ensure our name was empowering and reflected the true spirit of the veterans we serve. It is important that our country recognizes their contributions and sacrifices.”

In that same year, the new name Foundation for Women Warriors was established. Shortly after, the headquarters relocated to San Diego County to reach to a larger population of veterans as they exit the military. During COVID, the Foundation moved its operations and opened a warehouse in Vista.

Today, Foundation for Women Warriors is a 102-year-old institution dedicated to honoring and empowering women veterans. FFWW’s mission is to serve women veterans and their children so that their next mission is clear and continues to impact the world.

the needs of their constituents. Here’s a few stats: Last year, 1018 women and children were assisted by the Foundation. Already this year, 1,397 have been assisted. Approximately 60 percent of those served live in San Diego County and more than 75 percent of those who receive financial and childcare assistance through the foundation are single parents.

In addition, the Foundation regularly partners with the San Diego VA to host baby showers for expecting mothers.

Women receive everything from maternity clothes to diapers, cribs, car seats and all the essentials in between. “The veterans we serve feel very supported,” says Grenier. “We’ve helped close to 100 veteran moms welcome their new additions this year.”

FFWW’s Women Veteran Transition and Emergency Services programs provide financial and critical goods, assistance, childcare, and professional development. Veterans can apply to receive financial assistance via stipends for rent, utilities, and other basic needs.

The stipends, paid directly to thirdparties, help cover monthly expenses and give veterans an opportunity to build emergency savings, pay off debts, and maintain housing. Veterans receive financial management education as a prerequisite to receiving financial assistance. FFWW partners with Prudential Financial Services to offer monthly financial education webinars. Veterans build budgets and are assessed quarterly to ensure they stay on track.

Funding for the Foundation comes from private and community foundations, corporate sponsors, local counties, and individual donors, Grenier says, “At a time when all costs are rising, every little bit helps. If you can, donate, volunteer, or share our mission with a friend. It all helps and there is no better way to say ‘thank you’ to our veterans than by helping them to succeed.”

If you would like to support this worthy organization, please contact the Foundation at www.foundationforwomenwarriors.org. “The easiest thing anyone can do is, when you think about our military and those who have served, remember that women served, too,” recommends Grenier.

www.foundationforwomenwarriors.org

FFWW programs prevent homelessness, enhance the personal and economic well-being of women veterans and their children. “Despite the historical achievements of our service women, there are still many challenges they must overcome during transition into the civilian sector,” she explains. “We ensure women veterans who may be facing financial and transition challenges can access programs specifically designed to prevent homelessness, enhance economic stability and have a community of support.”

According to Grenier, she and her team of eight work hard to keep pace with

Quality Lock & Security is a “Sure Thing” for Vista

It’s been 28 years

since Clay McCarthy and his wife Kimberly opened their security business in Vista. In 2002, they purchased their first building in our historic downtown, which allowed them to open their retail location at 340 E. Broadway. The team at Quality Lock and Security Services does their best to cover all your physical security and locking hardware needs.

The company is made up of 10 employees who service all of San Diego County, Lower Riverside and Orange County, as well as greater California for Southern CA-Edison (SCE) and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

The company focuses on commercial and industrial clients such as Siemens, Thermo Fisher, Tyco, JMG, Sony, ADT, Callaway and Watkins Manufacturing, just to name a few. Typical services range from replacing mailbox locks to installing CCTV, automating doors with electronic lock systems and installing life safety hardware and high security systems. They also perform the standard re-keying of locks for businesses as employees come and go. Through Siemens, Quality Lock provides security compliance and maintenance services for SCE and PG&E. “We work hard to stay current on what new technology offers in terms

of products and systems,” says Clay.

“Keys are becoming a thing of the past as keyless technology becomes the new norm. We often work in partnership with tech companies like Siemens, ADT, Stanley, JMG, Tyco and others to install and maintain the latest security systems to protect companies and institutions from the numerous threats they face every day.”

Clay and Kimberly credit the company’s ongoing success to years of building relationships with customers. “I used to work all over the area in my service truck, helping people as a Service Tech back in the day,” he says. “Before opening my own business in 1994, I worked for Pro-Tec Lock and Safe in Oceanside for eight years. Because I got to know people so well in local businesses and in the security industry, it was natural that many of them have become lifelong friends,” he says. “For instance, Sharon Kinikin has been our office manager for more than 26 years and she is part of the foundation of our success. Ten years ago, we were extremely fortunate to have Eric “Buzz” Reed join our team.

Buzz quickly moved from journeyman installer to General Manager. Buzz’s daughter Alexis Panchevre has also become invaluable to us as she helps Sharon and works as my Assistant,” Clay adds.

Buzz’s leadership also allows Clay and Kimberly to concentrate on developing and maintaining the long-term relationships with SCE and PG&E. “We are truly blessed to have an amazing staff and team of co-workers,” says Kimberly.

Clay also believes in supporting his community and staying involved. He has sat on several boards at the City level and appreciates the opportunity to be part of the team that is guiding the revitalization and growth of Vista’s downtown development. Clay and Kimberly have a vested interest in Vista as property owners and landlords. Today, the McCarthy’s own their office building and two other buildings on Broadway. “It’s been exciting to see everything grow up around us through the years,” says Clay.

“Vista has been a great place to live and work,” he adds. “At first, I was frustrated to see San Marcos, then Carlsbad and even Oceanside really take off and grow. But now, Vista is finally coming into its own.”

As local homeowners since 1992, Clay and Kimberly raised their two children, Cassidy and Quinn here while Clay coached Little League for eight years.

This gave him the chance to meet so many more wonderful people, many of whom have become lifelong friends who have helped him along the way.

We work hard to stay current on what new technology offers in terms of products and systems,

“People have introduced me to bankers and investors that have given me opportunities to achieve more than I ever thought possible,” he says. “With the help of family, friends, colleagues and connections, we’ve been able to achieve everything we have. We enjoy helping people, other businesses and organizations grow and we really care about our community.” he says. “Kimberly and I only see a very bright future for Vista.”

The Vista Chamber of Commerce is a champion for a strong community. Strong communities cannot exist without a deep connection between local businesses and local talent. Earlier this year, the Vista Chamber introduced the Velocity Summer Internship Program, funded by a grant from the City of Vista. The newest workforce development initiative by the Vista Chamber, this paid internship program aims to encourage career exploration for local students while providing additional capacity to local employers. The summer internship program covered 100 hours of paid internship experience from mid-June through early August.

The Chamber worked closely with schools to promote the program to high school seniors graduating in 2023. Rising high school seniors attending Vista schools and/or Vista residents were eligible to participate. To apply for the program, students completed a simple application which asked about career interests as well as logistical information regarding transportation needs and other supports. The students were encouraged to give us as much detail as possible, for us to gather and make those connections to the various opportunities with the participating businesses, setting them up for success! We received interest from students at Vista High, Mission Vista High, Rancho Buena Vista and Guajome Park Academy.

The Chamber also promoted the program to Vista businesses and employers were asked to complete a participation form identifying the types of internships available at their company, whether they had hosted an intern before and other details. The students were employees of the Chamber and were assigned internship locations based on the career interest match.

This summer, the program matched 45 students with 25 local businesses and non-profits. Students gained experience in government, non-profit, retail, journalism, marketing, social media, hospitality, customer service, early education, and health and wellness. Students received exposure to wellness and health environments with patients and clients in different spaces such as: yoga and chiropractic.

Other students had opportunities to work with both large and small businesses doing administrative work, research and development, staging assistant and even film and video editing. For our future teachers, students had opportunities to tutor math and were also exposed to working with preschool and grade-school aged children assisting with summer camp.

The business response to the program has been overwhelmingly positive. Anneliese from Operation-Hope said, “As a nonprofit, we rely highly on our interns and volunteers to help with keeping our shelter running smoothly. Both of our interns this summer have been vital to our team both on our admin and shelter side.” While Ryan from Nucave Construction said, “Everyone at the chamber was very helpful with the internship program. From making us aware that they were offering the program and checking in along the way. We are very happy that we have been able to utilize the internship program and Lizbeth has done a great job helping us with our social media needs....We are very pleased. Thanks

again to the work of the chamber for making this all happen!”

Some companies have expressed interest in maintaining a connection with their interns. Gaby from Nuspine Chiropractic said, “We are ecstatic with the interns we received. They are fast learners and bring joy into our workplace. We plan to continue to mentor them through college and support them however we can. We will absolutely bring on more interns when the time comes.”

Participating students enjoyed the experience as well. Isabelle J. said, “It’s really inspiring to be part of this program. You and your team are making a lot of really amazing opportunities for high schoolers like me!” and Sophia S. emailed, “I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating this wonderful opportunity for me and other seniors in the Vista District.

This program is a great learning experience and a way for students like me who never have had a job before to get working experience. You and your team created simple and easy instructions to follow and sign up and provided different businesses to join. I have enjoyed the experience working with [my company] and others throughout this program.

Thank you so much for having such a wonderful program.”

The Chamber is grateful for these students and businesses’ participation in the Velocity Internship Program this summer. We are excited for these students as they begin their senior year and graduate. We cannot wait to see them do amazing things!

We hope to continue to accelerate the careers of future participants. We encourage current juniors for the 2022/23 school year to consider applying for next year, as we look forward to the upcoming Summer of 2023!

OUR SKILL SAVES LIVES. OUR COMPASSION

INSPIRES HOPE IT STARTS WITH CARING. When there’s an emergency, every second counts. That’s why we don’t waste a single one. From the moment a patient enters the Emergency Department, we jump into action to get them the best care and treatment possible. Because in situations like

tricitymed.

those, time may not be the only thing we’re trying to save. Check into

the emergency room from home, so when you get here you can get in, get out, and start getting better, faster.
