Vista Chamber President & CEO Rachel Beld
There are many reasons why I find Chamber work fulfilling but right at the top is the opportunity to celebrate other’s achievements. On March 18, it was wonderful to see Vista come together to celebrate the Heroes of Vista. What a treat it was to host this event in downtown Vista at the Vistonian and to award Judy Ritter with the Lifetime Achievement Award. We also celebrated achievement in business, education, and community service. Read more about this special evening on page 4. The Vista Chamber Rising Star Program is all about celebrating student success. Each month during the school year, we honor high school seniors from our community high schools. The students represent grit, determination and academic excellence, some of which was achieved despite difficult life circumstances. Each Rising Star Student of the Month celebration is my favorite Friday each month! We honor six students each month and in the spring, these 48 students are invited to apply for scholarships. Later this month, we will celebrate the success of impressive young leaders and award $14,000 in scholarships. Never have I seen $14,000 do so much good! If you are interested in supporting Rising Star for the 2022/2023 school year, please reach out to me at ceo@vistachamber.org. The celebrations continue as we use the Chamber’s reach to amplify and celebrate the voices of our community members doing great work on Velocity, the Vista Chamber Podcast. Find Velocity on most podcast platforms – just search Velocity Vista. Recent guests include Danny Villasenor from Peppertree Frosty, Don Hein from Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen and Lisette Hart from Yoga Branch Vista. There are interviews with elected officials like Mayor Judy Ritter, County Supervisor Jim Desmond and Congressman Mike Levin. Find us on social media @velocityvistapod and let me know who I should interview next! Lastly, the Vista Chamber aims to uplift and celebrate all our Members. Flip through the pages of this magazine, check out our website or tune into our social media to learn more about our incredible Chamber Members and all the wonderful things they do to make Vista a great place to live, work and play. Not a Vista Chamber Member? Reach out to paula@vistachamber.org to learn more about partnering with our organization. Sending you all the berry best! See you at Strawberry Festival! Cheers,

Moonlight Cultural Foundation Lends a Supporting Hand
By Barb Miltenberger
all know and love Vista’s Moonlight Amphitheatre venue and Moonlight Stage Productions who puts on fabulous Broadway-quality shows at this magnificent open-air location, but how many of us are familiar with the Moonlight Cultural Foundation (MCF)? MCF is a nonprofit organization that seeks to both build and engage by providing arts experiences and they render financial and philanthropic support to Moonlight Stage Productions and Moonlight Youth Theatre. They also partner with the City of Vista in support of Moonlight programming, and sponsor events like Jingle Terrace Park which takes place in December. That month-long drive-through holiday light event also benefits the San Diego Food Bank by collecting canned goods from attenders that choose to contribute. 2022 will also bring the Royal Ball fundraising gala which will take place on April 30th, and a fundraising concert July 8th with Yachtly Crew. The funds they raise all year long through various campaigns help in many areas such as offsetting actor and orchestra salaries, helping with marketing expenses, providing ongoing educational opportunities, and making improvements and physical upgrades in the areas of sound, lighting, seating and more. They effectively bridge the gap between the cost of providing Broadway quality musical theatre and ticket revenues. Because of their efforts, enjoying a show at Moonlight Amphitheatre is more accessible to the community. MCF has two auxiliaries. The Moonlight Angels Auxiliary was formed in 1992 to aid, sponsor and assist the foundation with fundraising and provides a volunteer workforce for the foundation and Moonlight. The auxiliary is comprised of dedicated individuals that band together to help Moonlight do what they do best! Perhaps you have seen the Angels selling raffle tickets before the shows or in the aisles ready to help you find your seat. They hold various fundraising events of their own throughout the year. They are a valued service group and doing big things to help with all things Moonlight. The Moonlight Youth Theatre Auxiliary puts its fundraising dollars towards art education and

MAY 11 - 28 provides volunteer and fundraising support to Moonlight programs. Both function under the foundation’s 501(c)(3) status and are overseen by the Moonlight Cultural Foundation staff and Board of Directors. The foundation encourages memberships, both corporate and private. There are six levels of membership, and each includes a group of benefits that range from complimentary Moonlight show tickets, to having your name mentioned in show programs, to invitations to VIP events, scoring VIP parking, swag bags and more. The fees collected through membership dues go towards things that the average theatregoer does not consider, but that are of great importance and help with the many of the behind-the-scenes expenses of running Moonlight programming. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Anyone interested in becoming a partner through membership should visit www.moonlightstage.com In conclusion, we can see how the Moonlight Cultural Foundation is always at work, with the goal of providing support and quality programming for our community. Their contributions are invaluable and ensure that the work of the Moonlight continues and that Moonlight Amphitheatre remains a shining star in North County. I hope you will fully enjoy the 2022 season at Moonlight Amphitheatre. On tap are not only amazing musicals that this year will include Memphis, Cinderella, Something Rotten, Ragtime and Kinky Boots, but also many concerts and youth musical productions as well.

CHAIRMAN'S CORNER
As the Vista Chamber is wrapping up our fiscal year, and I am
Chair of the Board Adam Brooks
writing my last article as the Chairman of the Board, I cannot help but
reflect on the many accomplishments of the Vista Chamber. I would love to talk about the business grants we are administering in partnership with the City, the internship program we are developing to help attract and retain local talent, and the workforce development program we are operating with our partners at Tri-City Medical Center! Unfortunately, I can't talk about those achievements. Why, you ask? – because an approaching cyclone of strawberries is headed straight in our direction! As copies of this magazine are being distributed to the community, courtesy of the Vista Chamber, we are just a few, short weeks from pure, unadulterated, uncensored strawberry mayhem and shenanigans. That's right, the return of the full-blown, unabridged Vista Strawberry Festival will occur on Sunday May 29th- Memorial Day weekend. With 300+ vendors, kids activities, contests, live bands, a beer garden, a 5K and kids’ run, there will be something for everyone at the upcoming Vista Strawberry Festival. This year we will even be releasing “Berry”, our strawberry mascot, to chase after competitors in the 5-K Run and spur them on to set new speed records! Just kidding. What we are not kidding about are the strawberry jam-packed contests, including the Miss Strawberry Pageant, the Strawberry Pie-Eating Contest, the Strawberry Poster Contest, the Strawberry Shortcake Contest, and of course, the Strawberry Run. Many vendors will have strawberry-related items for sale too, so you can be assured that you won't even want to look at another strawberry until next year's Festival. It has been an incredible year for Vista and the Vista Chamber of Commerce. I am so proud of the staff, our CEO, our members, and the Board of Directors for all of the outstanding accomplishmentsand value they’ve brought to Vista. The last couple of years have been challenging for everyone, but it has been inspiring to see the ways in which our organization has continued to fulfil its mission to represent our community by advocating for businesses, planning for our community’s future, giving back to the community through our non-profits, and partnering to make Vista an ideal place to live, work, and play. I look forward to seeing you all at the Strawberry Festival. Be sure to come and say "Hi" in the beer garden!

Mayor's Musings Mayor Judy Ritter
Downtown Vista is Thriving! Economic Development is a top priority for us, and the City of Vista continues to draw businesses that are reshaping the city and creating an attractive vibrant community. We recently welcomed Everytable to Vista. The storefront takeout serving chef-prepared meals is located at 620 Hacienda Drive. We are proud that the Vista site is the company’s first location to open in San Diego County. The Los Angeles-based company was founded in 2016 and rose in popularity after being featured on the hit television show, Shark Tank. Six years later they are on track to grow. Everytable is a great fit for the Vista community and helps support healthy eating at an affordable price. Vista has shown that it appreciates good, high-quality food with
heart, and Everytable checks all of those boxes. The demand for serving good, quality food is growing and more businesses are looking to invest in our city. Additionally, I am so pleased the downtown area is thriving and continues to bring new eateries, businesses and jobs to the community. Handel's Ice Cream is now serving up ice-cream and yogurt to residents and visitors alike and Coomber Craft Wine’s expansion is underway. The winery and tasting room will not only bring more foot traffic into our thriving downtown, but will also bring more jobs and quality of life to our community. We have a lot of positive happenings going on in Vista!

Celebrating 18 Years of Pizza, Brew & Beyond!

VISTACHAMBER.ORG
By Eva Redding
Lamppost Pizza’s
inspiring journey began in the year 1976 when two young brothers moved from Chicago to Southern California and decided to use their dad’s pizza recipe to start a restaurant. Over the years, they turned their business venture into many successful franchises. At their peak, there were over forty franchise locations throughout California. A couple of decades later, they saw an opportunity to convert a vacant space adjacent to the Lamppost Pizza in Irvine into a brewery, and Backstreet Brewery was born! When it was time to open and manage additional locations, the owners turned to Darren Bell, a long-time friend, who grew up around Lamppost and also had prior experience working in the restaurant business. When an opportunity came up to manage their Vista location, Darren was the perfect fit to fill the position. Eighteen years later, Lamppost Pizza & Backstreet Brewery in Vista is still going strong! As Darren proudly pointed out, with their beers brewed right on site, they are the longest running brewery in the City of Vista. The premier location in the heart of downtown has contributed to their tremendous success. Located next door to Cinepolis, there are not too many restaurants where customers can enjoy great food and drinks and later walk a few steps to enjoy a movie. Moreover, they take pride in delivering quality and consistency. From making their own pizza dough and sauce to hand chopping their vegetables, it all makes a difference. Besides pizza, they offer a variety of other dishes and appetizers. With a full bar, their patrons can enjoy great cocktails and a wide range of their signature IPAs and other craft beers.
“Staff is like family.
That’s the way it has always been and will be!
”
As they celebrate their eighteen years in business, there is more good news on the horizon. Darren Bell along with the restaurant’s other two long-term managers, David Coren and Ernie Zuniga, are in transition to become the official owners of Vista’s Lamppost. This means, as Darren stated, “Well over forty years of combined Lamppost Pizza experience.” They are truly excited to continue the restaurant’s legacy and to proudly serve the community. In fact, Lamppost is all about community and family. Darren knows and works with families that have been in Vista their entire lives. Family atmosphere is important in everything they do. He said, “Staff is like family. That’s the way it has always been and will be!” Darren reflects on the rewarding relationship with the Vista Chamber stating, “Vista Chamber is very well engrained in the city.” Like the Chamber, Lamppost is no stranger to helping with community events. In the past, they have donated to fundraiser golf tournaments, participated in the Taste of Vista, and continue to sponsor entire sports teams. As Darren said, ”Restaurant business is hard work, but it comes with great rewards.” The camaraderie with their employees and happy looks on customers’ faces, make it all worth it. Thanks to their positive working relationships and diligence, they were able to stay afloat even during the pandemic and made it out even better than before. “We are now more efficient, work better, and learned a lot about ourselves.” If you are looking for a family friendly venue to host your next theme party, special outing or a night out with friends, come & enjoy their delicious food beyond pizza and carefully crafted beverages on their spacious patio equipped with large fire pits and heaters. Darren, David, Ernie and their staff are excited to meet and welcome you at 15 Main Street in Vista.

Five Suits owner and head brewer Nick Corona tasted a game-changing craft beer that was exceptionally transformative to his tastebuds nearly a decade ago. Not long after that experience, he ordered a kit and got to work to see what was in the cards for him in the world of home brewing. Could he create his own magical tasting experience that he could share with others? That was his true desire. After diving headfirst into the process, he began competing and winning scores of ribbons and medals in the home brew, craft beer world. He knew right away that he wanted to do more in this industry, so after years of dreaming and planning, he joined forces with members of his family to establish Five Suits Brewing in June of 2020. Wife Kandy, brother Shane, mom Leslie and dad Joe, all bring their own unique and formidable skill set to the Five Suits team and keep things humming on track.
20
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
Nick pushed himself to the very edge the first year of operation, holding down a full-time job in management at Valley View Casino while simultaneously putting his heart and soul into the brewery every day. The first two years were tenuous due to COVID restrictions and downturns, which clearly did not pair well with opening a brand-new business. Gratefully, loyal customers kept showing up and pulled them through. Even during difficult times, Five Suits has initiated many programs that give back to the community that has been so supportive of them. Opening this brewery has proven to be rewarding in so many ways, and building relationships is at the top of the list. What is the meaning and intention behind the brewery’s name? Using the family name Corona was certainly not in the cards for obvious reasons. Nick’s inspiration came from the industry he knows so well, gaming. The family surname Corona translates to the word crown, so a fifth suit was created, and the name was established. At Five Suits Brewing, they believe that good beer should not be a gamble (yes, they do love a good play on words). They
also believe in bringing community together and providing great times through means of gathering, creating relationship and memories, enjoying good food and drink, and perhaps even offering up a little gaming. Corn hole anyone? Upon entering the lively casino-themed tasting room, you will find that Five Suits Brewing has something for everyone’s tastes from a light brew hef to the extra hoppy. Their current lineup includes a jackpot selection which includes Suited Fenris IPA, Pit BOS Hefeweizen, 10 Black Fathoms Imperial Chocolate Stout, Minimum Bet American IPA, The Razz Pack Raspberry Wheat, Planet Nectaron, Al Toque Peruvian Lager, Apricot Ante Wheat Beer and even a Suited Seltzer. The brewery
joined forces with Al Toque Peruvian Kitchen which serves up delicious Latin appetizers and meals. You will find such culinary delights as ceviche, lomo saltado, tallarines, chaufas and more to go with your beer. The Peruvian lager was created and named specifically with Al Toque’s food and customer base in mind and has been a huge hit. Go all in with Five Suits Brewing and discover why they won best new brewery in North County and took first place for best hazy from San Diego Beer News! They are waiting to deal you a winning hand. You can find them at 2575 Pioneer Ave, #104 in Vista. 760-278-FIVE. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Yelp. Check out their web page at www.fivesuits.com.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Signs, Symptoms, Causes and Treatments Common hand and wrist problem can be prevented and treated
Carpal tunnel syndrome is most often diagnosed between the ages of 40-60. Women are three times more likely than men to experience the condition. Fluid build-up in the ligaments during pregnancy, menopause and before menstruation may trigger some cases. Inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, wrist injury or dislocation, diabetes and obesity are other risk factors. Work activities that involve repetitive use of the wrist or hand may also contribute to nerve compression. Treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome You wake in the night with a painful tingling sensation in your fingers — or no sensation at all. As your condition advances, you have trouble holding the steering wheel to drive or typing on your computer keyboard. You experience weakness in your hand and begin dropping small objects. If these signs and symptoms sounds familiar, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a very common problem. The condition is often associated with overuse of the hands and wrist and other factors. “It’s important to get evaluated if you develop symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome to get a diagnosis and rule out any other problem,” says Lorenzo Pacelli, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley and Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines. “Talk to your doctor if your condition is interfering with your sleep at night and your day-to-day activities. “Carpal tunnel syndrome is not something you want to ignore because if it goes untreated for a period of time, it can cause permanent damage to the nerve and use of your hand,” Dr. Pacelli says. What is carpal tunnel syndrome? Picture a tunnel running from your forearm
22
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
through the center of your wrist. This narrow passage is called the carpal tunnel. Your median nerve, which supplies feeling and function to your thumb and first three fingers, runs through it.
Treatments range from rest to over-the-counter medication to physical therapy and surgery. A nonsurgical approach may be all you need to get better.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed, either by a swollen ligament or inflammation of the tendons within the tunnel. Pressure on the nerve may cause numbness and tingling and pain in the wrist, hand or fingers (excluding your little finger).
“Resting the affected area for a period may be enough to ease inflammation. Also helpful is taking breaks more often or doing less of the activity that is causing you pain,” Dr. Pacelli says.
What are the early signs? Early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome often involve tingling or mild pain in the hands or wrist, usually during the night. “As the condition worsens, tingling may happen during the day. Hand weakness may make it hard to grasp small objects and perform other activities,” Dr. Pacelli says.
Next steps – if needed – may include using a splint to sleep, physical therapy and antiinflammatory medication. “Sometimes we’ll do a cortisone injection to help reduce the swelling around the tendon to help to take pressure off the nerves,” Dr. Pacelli says. Physical therapy can help restore functional mobility. At Scripps, physical therapists or occupational therapists provide hand therapy services.
Who gets carpal tunnel syndrome — and why?
Yoga is an alternative therapy that has been shown to reduce pain and improve grip strength.
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects up to 5% of the adult population in the United States. The condition is often the result of a combination of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel.
When is surgery an option?
Age, heredity and gender are among several risk factors.
If pain or numbness are severe or do not improve with non-surgical treatments, surgery is an option. Carpal tunnel release is one of the common procedures in the United States. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts through a ligament in the wrist to relieve pressure on the median nerve. The procedure is done with numbing medicine.
Lorenzo Pacelli, MD “It’s a very effective procedure. Recovery is two to three weeks. The hand stays a little weak for up to a month. But most of the time, the symptoms go away within the first week of the surgery,” Dr. Pacelli says. 4 tips for reducing risk of carpal tunnel syndrome The following tips can help reduce your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome: 1. Change the way you work Make adjustments to promote correct posture and positioning and reduce repetitive stress. As you work, your wrists should be in the same position as they are when you dangle your arms at your sides. 2. Take frequent breaks from repetitive tasks Avoid excessive exertion of your hand and wrist muscles. Minimize vibration from machines or tools. 3. Stretch your wrists before you start tasks and during breaks. Learn to do isometric and stretching exercises to strengthen the muscles in the wrists and hands. “Do exercises where you stretch your fingers and redistribute swelling around the tendons,” Dr. Pacelli says. “Wear protective braces if you are susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome.” 4. Simple wrist exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome There are simple wrist exercises that are designed to help prevent and treat carpal tunnel syndrome. A physical or occupational therapist can help you strengthen your hand and wrist. They can teach you how to do specific hand stretching exercises. www.scripps.org

of people into being coffee drinkers through our cold brew because it is 70% less acidic and super smooth. Also, you do not need to add any sugars or creams, which makes it a healthier choice,” notes Henschel. By Anne McDonnell
With all the local brewing going on, it only makes sense that someone would come along and brew something other than beer. Enter The Steeping Giant, a coffee company that offers nitro cold brew coffee on tap for offices, restaurants, and cafes. Says CEO Joe Henschel, “We roast specifically for cold brew and use a unique brewing technique that provides the customer with the most fresh, clean, artisan cup of cold brew on the market.” The Steeping Giant started brewing cold brew coffee in the back of Mama Kat’s restaurant in San Marcos in 2016. “We were just looking for something different, and there were not a lot of people making cold brew at the time,” says Henschel. The company found that, specifically, the office coffee market was ready for cold brew coffee. “We started in one office building in Orange County, and then that one turned to five and so on. This opened the door to really make our mark on the office coffee culture when it came to cold brew coffee on tap. We saw a major opportunity to affect the culture of an office by offering cold brew coffee. The idea was for ‘water cooler 2.0.’” At the beginning of 2020 the company moved all of its operations to Vista, and it has since expanded at that location. “I was personally born and raised in Vista, and I always wanted to have a business in Vista,” says Henschel. “The location, and also the help from City officials and the community that we have found in Vista has been incredible,” Henschel says. The comradery among Vista busi-

ness owners was especially important during recent lockdowns.“ We were able to come alongside other local businesses during Covid and help each other out,” he says. During Covid restrictions, The Steeping Giant introduced front-door delivery for individual coffee customers who were working from home. It’s this type of customer response that makes the company stand out. Says Henschel, “We look at our customers as partners and do not require contracts…. We make it easy to
setup and also make sure that people do not run out [of coffee].” The company brews ethically sourced, small batch coffee that begins with hand-picked artisanal beans. The distinct flavors come from signature brewing and filtering techniques that happen no later than 48 hours after roasting. “We have converted a lot
The Steeping Giant has partnered with dozens of businesses locally. “The local community has supported us by letting people know about who we are and also locking arms with us over the past few years. Being a part of a strong and growing community is a major driving force,” says Henschel. And this support also comes from happy customers: “We are like celebrities when we walk into an office building. Peoples’ faces light up knowing that we are getting them their caffeine fix.” The Steeping Giant 2588 Progress Street, Suite 16 Vista, CA 92081 760.544.2681 https://www.thesteepinggiant.com

Creating a Vision for the Future Vista Unified has a long history of leading the way in education across our county, region, and nation. We have teachers, schools, and district programs that continue to be held up as models for the world to emulate. Even though we have experienced challenges with the impacts of the pandemic, our resolve to continue to be a leader in education remains strong. The Chinese word for “crisis” ” ( 危机 ) " also includes the meaning of the English word for “opportunity.” Another way to think about it is that where there is danger, this is also opportunity. While we would all agree that the pandemic definitely qualifies as a crisis, it can also serve as an opportunity to reflect critically on our system and to engage in thoughtful discussions about how we may leverage this crisis to transform our organization in order to meet the challenges of a new reality here in Vista and in the world. The pandemic has served as a great disruptor of traditional systems not just in education but in every sector of the economy. This is our opportunity to be one of the first school districts to recognize these new realities and commit to shifting our systems to better align to what students and families need to navigate a very new living and learning environment. Our strategic planning process is challenging old assumptions of what the portrait of a graduate should be for the future. We are discussing how to create an adult portrait that sets the expectations for what adults need to know and be able to do to support students as they prepare for a very different world of work. We also need to be willing to redefine the systems within our organization so that our environments promote a future-forward mindset that is equity-focused and learner-centered. We want to create on-ramps and off-ramps to all sorts of learning experiences for students because we all know that every student (and every adult for that matter) has different strengths, interests, and aspirations. What does that look like you may ask? Well, alone we cannot say, but as a community we can reimagine, redesign, and recharge our learning environments. That is our calling now. We cannot individually volunteer for this charge. Embracing change in education is not a choice, just as entering the new, more dynamic, complex, ever changing and evolving world of work is not a choice for our students. They do not
have the luxury of staying on the sidelines of life. Every member of our district team, educators and support staff, is compelled to become an active agent in the change movement to position Vista Unified as the model of educational excellence and innovation. Here are a few elements of this transformation. First, our organization adopts a learner-centered mindset where teachers and support staff shift their role to step alongside students as co-creators of learning. Researcher John Hattie would call this new role an ‘activator of learning’ rather than a purveyor of knowledge. Second, we redesign our learning environment through the lens of equity, placing equal emphasis on well-being (social/emotional, mental health, behavioral) and academic achievement. Researcher Michael Fullan calls this ‘new more powerful forms of learning’ that include an authentic sense of belonging, meaning, alignment to global competencies, deeply integrating equity into the learning environment, and integrating new breakthroughs in the science of learning including whole-child learning, leveraging real-world partnerships, adopting new learning environments, and tapping into the new forms of digital learning. Third, we reimagine the way students demonstrate learning, adopting a performance framework model that places emphasis on what students produce. Researcher Dylan Wiliam has advocated for years that the power of assessment lies in its formative impact on learning. Authentic assessment should inspire students to continue to grow and improve; much like someone learning to play a sport, learning a musical instrument, building an electronic device, or developing software. You are never done. You are constantly improving. Even the university system is moving away from high stakes assessments for college entrance and towards a holistic model that outlines the multiple strengths and accomplishments of the applicant. Rest assured that Vista Unified will continue to innovate and improve learning environments to meet the needs of all students as they prepare to make positive contributions to our community.

Is an ADU in Your Future? ADUG u r u s
c a n gu i d e t h e way
By Julie Smith Taylor
growing number of Californians are building ADUs, the acronym for an Accessory Dwelling Unit. ADU was coined by the state in 2017 to cover everything from granny flats, casitas, in-law suites and backyard studios. ADU types include detached (from the primary residence), attached (built onto the primary residence) or it can be a garage conversion. By easing regulations and lowering fees to encourage ADU construction, the state hopes to increase rental housing availability. However, most people build ADUs to create space for adult children returning home, aging parents or adding a place to work from home. Property owners typically want to know, “What can I build?” That’s where Lisa De Jesus, the president/owner of ADU Gurus (www.adugurus.com) comes in. Lisa established her consulting firm in 2019 after spending three years building her own ADU in Vista on property she bought with her daughter and family. The lot was large enough to accommodate the main house and a 750 sf. two-bedroom ADU for Lisa. “I learned so much in the process that I wanted to help others,” she says.
30
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
Lisa now uses her ADU as a model home for her clients. She provides architectural design and structural engineering and consulting. Lisa’s initial visit to a property focuses on feasibility and answers that question about what you can build. She’ll even help you find a good contractor. “There are so many state mandates and local government rules that you need to know,” Lisa explains. “Architectural and structural design can be complex as can be the permitting process. It’s these processes that ADU Gurus understands best.” To help make sense of it all, Lisa spends part of her time educating others interested in learning more about the ADU movement. Her latest presentation, “Understanding ADU Feasibility and New Laws” has been shared with several national organizations as well as mortgage companies, real estate brokerages and most recently, at the Tiny Fest event in Del Mar. Lisa has seen a dramatic increase in ADU Gurus growth since the Covid pandemic has waned. “I have been exponentially busier in the last nine months,” she says.
Lisa De Jesus
“All the stars have been aligning for the increase in ADU construction due to the following factors:
Historically low interest rates
Loosening of CA ADU laws
A desire to keep loved ones close to home, but in their own space
Creating a rental revenue
Increases in home equity and property values
Lisa’s expertise is also based on more than 25 years of experience in land use and development in Southern California. She currently serves on a Review Board for the City of Vista. She has also served as a Planning Commissioner in East County and is a licensed California Real Estate Broker®. Lisa finds Chamber membership to be instrumental in her success. “It’s a great, private sector partnership with the local government and I love that,” she says. “I often sit in on the government affairs committee meetings and attend the mixers. If you are in business, the only way to go is to be part of the chamber!” To schedule a speaking engagement, a feasibility consultation or to learn more about ADUgurus, call 760-313-1000 or visit www.adugurus.com.

This Events Team Is Key To Strawberry Festival Success
By Anne McDonnell
Vista’s annual Strawberry Festival on Sunday, May 29th wil soon be here! It’s going to be a very big day for our community. There wil be rides, games, live music, a 5K run, hundreds of vendors, great food and drink, and of course, lots of strawberries! The Chamber hosts the event, but it’s the collaborative relationship with Owner and Events Manager Patricia Keller and her husband Brett of City Gates Events www.citygatesevents.com that continues to make the festival such a success. “We officially started managing the Strawberry Festival in 2015 as independent contractors,” says Keller. “We’re responsible for recruiting and booking vendors, managing the event’s setup, layout, breakdown and everything in between. A major part of our responsibility is to nurture and strengthen relationships with all of our vendors. We work hard to ensure they are showcased properly in a way that encourages sales so they keep coming back year after year. This frees up the Chamber to focus on branding, marketing and promotion, which creates a wonderful win-win.” According to Keller, the festival size and scope has nearly doubled since City Gates Events began working with the Chamber.
provide a service that is a blessing to our clients so they can focus on what they do best while we take care of the rest.” Keller draws from her time as an Active-Duty Marine and later as a Reservist for her organizational skills, sense of order and excellent time management that have helped her be so successful in this business. “I was also a busy mother of five and had to learn to shift gears, adapt and adjust as things came up and that’s exactly what I do every day at work.” Today, the Kellers live a walking distance from downtown Vista and love being part of the community. “We raised our children here and now enjoy seeing our grandchildren grow up here, too. Our mantra has become #communityconnectioncommerce to build on relationships across the spectrum (client/vendors/public) so
“Our goal for 2022 is to bring back the Festival’s full footprint and reach our pre-Covid 2019 levels,” she says. “That was our biggest festival. We had close to 450 vendors and the streets were full all day long. It’s all about rebuilding after the pandemic. I think everyone is ready to enjoy a party and have a really great time. There’s already a lot of buzz and excitement building.” Patricia and Brett are no strangers to event planning. They started out helping as “day of event” workers in the early 2000’s for good friends who owned their own event management company. Although it was a very long day, they found they really loved it. Soon, they were committed to learning everything they could about event management and Patricia began taking on more events for her friends. When that couple retired, the Kellers carried on but with a new business name—City Gates Events. Today, they manage several street fairs, festivals and curated art events throughout North San Diego County and South Orange County. “We love what we do,” she says. “We consider many of our vendors and clients to be good friends and we look forward to seeing them at our events. We like to
that everyone ends up a winner,” Keller explains. “It is an honor and a privilege to be part of the Vista community and the ongoing success of the Strawberry Festival.” For more information, visit www.citygatesevents.com or call Patricia Keller at 760945-3758.

Heals, Strengthens Bonds By Julie Smith Taylor There’s a wonderful program dedicated to helping area Veterans in Vista and throughout North County to heal, strengthen bonds with loved ones and achieve wellness through Art making. It’s the Veterans Art Project (VETART). According to its website, www.vetart.org, VETART is a community-based arts organization serving Veterans, Active Duty, spouses, dependents, their caregivers, and the community through process-driven, Deep Arts Engagement, D.A.E.(c) and Art Therapy.
VETART is made up of passionate people who care about generating mental “wealth” for our veterans, military affiliated, family members, caregivers and educators. Please join us!
D.A.E.(c) with Art Therapy options provide a process-intensive arts encounter proven to help Veterans and Active Duty (some with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and military sexual trauma (MST)) find their voices and work through the life-changing process of transitioning from military to civilian life. Steve Dilley, Executive Director of the program says, “VETART believes that because of the deep social and emotional programming happening with members of the military community, it is imperative for some to access the time and the facilities to adjust to life outside the military.” Dilley, who is a former professor of Art, made VETART his full-time endeavor in 2015. “I see VETART as a form of artistic responsibility to help those in my community.” He goes on to say that Art making in a community setting goes directly to the heart of the matter. “This allows service members to create new connections with family members, spouses, dependents, and caregivers. I believe that wellness comes from a host of positive influences leading to stability in housing, employment, family and personal lives."
36
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
To help Veterans achieve that wellness, VETART offers free classes in the process-heavy art disciplines of Ceramics, and Glass casting. Classes are available in Vista on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. VETART School of Ceramics and Glass, 2422 Cades way, Vista Ca. 92081 “We work tirelessly to connect military families and civilians through sharing Art-making in a safe, welcoming, relaxed, and fun environment,” he says. “This engagement is also equitable: we offer open enrollment access to free Art classes that take place in our state-of-the-art facilities, taught by Artists of all cultural/social backgrounds with and without MFAs. We offer Artistic support, development, and dignified display of completed artworks. These dignified displays help include the greater civilian community through artist/participant presentation.” A new program to support the display of Veterans’ Art is called The Pop-Up Café. It is a statewide, creative Arts engagement event with an emphasis on mental health and wellness for Veterans, Active-Duty, family members, caregivers, and community members. Events are made possible by the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission. The next Pop-Up Café event is set for May 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 3635 Market St. in Riverside, CA. Dilley also works closely with the DOD’s SkillBridge program. It is a three to six-month program for Active-Duty military members just before they retire and transition into private sector employment. Participants are paid their regular, active-duty salaries as they learn new skills and keep together in: public health, non-profit management, gallery management, and how to navigate advocacy and educational programs at the city, county and state levels. Participants also enjoy 20 hours per week of Artistic practice. The first program began with eight students in September. Dilley will begin a second class in early April and another at the end of the month. Although VETART is supported by some regional and statewide grants, the organization is always looking for sponsorship partners as well as public and private donations.
For more information, visit www.vetart.org or call Steve Dilley at 760-815-8868.

NEVILLE ALLEYNE, MD Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
OUR SURGEONS TRANSFORM THE
P OW E R O F
T E C H N O L O GY INTO THE
ART OF HEALING.
IT STARTS WITH CARING. We use our skill, our mind and our heart to provide compassionate care to our patients. We know that there’s no such thing as a routine procedure–that every time we perform surgery, it requires our supreme effort. So in addition to traditional surgery, Tri-City Medical Center offers minimally-invasive robotic surgery. Our surgeons perform procedures that result in faster recovery, less pain, smaller scars and less risk of complications. It’s all part of providing you the best possible care.
