Vista Chamber President & CEO Rachel Beld
Have you ever heard of
NetWeaving is a golden rule form of networking which focuses on helping others first, or at least treating others needs and goals as equally important as our own. The golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" implies that what comes around goes around. The goal of NetWeaving is to help others but it can also increase the chances that you will benefit in the long run. It's a win-win strategy for connecting with others. Think of the concept that if we all help others, eventually we are helped, too. The Vista Chamber of Commerce is focused on a NetWeaving approach to business connections and I have seen this approach benefit many of our Chamber members and our organization as a whole. When everyone is working to help others, we are all lifted, and no one slips through the cracks. This concept and word NetWeaving was created by Bob Littell, Chief Netweaver, but he is quick to point out that many people have been NetWeaving their whole lives without having a word to describe it. I heard the term in 2019 after joining the Vista Chamber of Commerce as CEO and become fascinated by the concept, also feeling like there was a word for what I was naturally inclined to do. I have always been someone eager to introduce two friends who might have something in common or to tell a friend about an amazing resource that can help with a problem they have. When I joined the Chamber and expanded my network of resources, I was so excited to connect my various circles with each other. Recently, I hosted a Lunch & Learn on the topic of NetWeaving and was thrilled to see a packed room of participants eager to learn more about the concept and ways to be an effective NetWeaver. The concept of NetWeaving really resonates with people. NetWeaving builds trust which leads to developing meaningful relationships. When trust is established and a relationship forms, people feel invested and safe to make referrals or connections. There are two main ways to function as a NetWeaver. You may be skilled in one area but the best NetWeavers eventually become adept at both methods. The first method is to be a strategic matchmaker or connector. These are folks that understand the win-win relationships between two or more people. Another way to NetWeave is to serve as a strategic resource provider. These types of
netweavers help others find solutions to their needs and problems and also may help them take advantage of their ideas or opportunities. The next time you are having a conversation with someone, start with someone you know well, take the chance to ask them questions to better understand their needs or goals – these could relate to business, personal or family. Think about who you might know or a possible helpful resource and connect your friend to this person or resource. You’ll be surprised how fulfilling this can be and how this simple act builds trust and a reciprocal experience. I encourage you to think about the concept of NetWeaving and how it could positively impact your life. I have found this way of connection to be incredibly rewarding. And, if you want to learn more, keep your eye on vistachamber.org as we plan additional workshops, meet ups, and events with NetWeaving as a core focus. Cheers,
Rachel VISTACHAMBER.ORG

When
Nick and Christina Lumsden decided to open a brewery in November of 2019, their dream was far more than just to brew great beers. Since golfing was always a big part of their lives, they aspired to combine the passion for the game along with their love for craft beer and dogs into one business. Today, Dogleg Brewing Company celebrates all three in real harmony. Christina said, “It’s a perfect day when there is golf, beer, and dogs involved.” Of course, the name Dogleg represents a term in golf—a dogleg hole is one that bends resembling a dog’s hind leg.
By Eva Redding
Dogleg Brewing is all about community, friendship, and bringing people together. As Christina explained, “Golf brings people together. Golf is huge and beer is huge in San Diego! Golfers tend to like to drink on the course, but don’t want to have anything too heavy.” Therefore, their beers are brewed on the lighter side with a clean, classic taste. Besides the traditional styles, Dogleg’s specialty is brewing beers that pay tribute to the UK since Scotland is the birthplace of golf. Scottish and English style ales are among the twenty beers on tap, all brewed in-house. Have you ever played golf inside a brewery? Now you can! In addition to delicious craft beers, Dogleg offers a hands-on game experience. Their golf simulator with many different courses, as well as a putting green, provides fun for all skill levels. If you are in the mood to relax and feel the California breeze, enjoy their outdoor patio. Food trucks and occasional live music complete this dog friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Furthermore, Dogleg is an excellent and affordable venue to hold employee appreciation parties, team building and other weekday lunch-time corporate events. In the spirit of supporting the love for the game, the brewery has partnered with different golf courses in the county to hold monthly tournaments. They take place on the fourth Sunday of each month. Anyone is welcome to sign up and join the Dogleg team. Christina said, “It’s nothing too competitive. It’s about having fun!” Also, on the fourth Friday of each month, prior to the tournaments, Dogleg holds a meet & mingle for people with a like-minded interest in golf. It is a fun way to bring golfers of all experience levels together to enjoy beer and meet new friends to play golf with.
Check out www.doglegbrewingco.com for info about our 3-year anniversary activities!

VISTACHAMBER.ORG
As North County residents, Nick and Christina are happy to be a part of Vista. Since their first days of becoming entrepreneurs, they have always valued playing a positive role in the community. Providing career opportunities and hiring more employees as they grow has been one of the joys of their journey. In the past, the company has donated beer and raffle prizes to charity golf tournaments and participated in the Vista Strawberry Festival. They enjoy collaborating with neighboring breweries to organize events that feature other local businesses and enhance the beer tasting experience for their customers. November 2022 will be a busy month for Dogleg Brewing as they celebrate their 3-year anniversary. Starting with a ribbon cutting ceremony on November 10th, the festivities will continue on Friday, November 11th and Saturday, November 12th with live music, golf simulator contests, a food truck, and of course, new beer on tap! For more information, visit their website www.doglegbrewingco.com or drop by their tasting room at 1347 Keystone Way #A in Vista.

By Barb Miltenberger Partake Gastropub (Partake) is owned and run by husband-and-wife team, Aaron and Malicia Love. Aaron is also the talented chef behind the scenes in the kitchen. Although they were not the original owners, the Loves have been running the cozy and eclectic restaurant for the last several years, Aaron working as the chef for the previous owner as well. He has plenty of experience in the culinary world to bring to the table at Partake. He has worked at both small, local restaurants and large-scale resorts. The menu at Partake is comfortable yet sophisticated at the same time, always served with a beautiful presentation. Their burger has been deemed by many to be one of the best in North County and can be enjoyed with their famous duck fat fries. Start your dining experience with a long-time menu favorite, the crispy, fried chickpea appetizer. Another tempting option is the Paseo Street Fries loaded with smoked gouda bechamel, house andouille sausage and Tapatio aioli. For dinner you can order up unique items like lamb tacos, shrimp and grits or a Cubano sandwich, or go for more traditional staples like mac and cheese, salads, soup, flat breads, steaks and pastas. Local beers and boutique wines are ready to please your palate and compliment your food choices. If you want a solid selection of fresh, delicious and creatively prepared food in a comfortable atmosphere with a great vibe, then Partake is the place for you! Almost just as important as the food is providing their customers with quality entertainment and giving local musicians an audience and a place to perform their craft at Partake. You will find a wide array of creatives hanging out at the restaurant from bands to solo artists, to belly dancers, to open mic aficionados. It is all about community, connection, sharing and enjoying good food, company and entertainment at Partake. They are welcoming of all in the community and offer something for everyone. If you have not been there recently, you will note that in addition to their two main dining areas in the main building, they have added a side patio with lots of seating, heaters, overhead patio lights and movie screen. This patio expands their ability to bring first-rate entertainment to more patrons. You can find Partake Gastropub on the gorgeously redesigned S. Santa Fe Ave. (#721) in Vista or online at www.partakegastropub.com. Also look for them on both Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Currently they are open Wednesday through Saturday 5 pm to 10 pm and Sundays from 3 pm to 10 pm. You will want to check in often for schedule and menu changes and current as well as upcoming entertainment options.

Chairman's Corner
Happy Holidays! Chair of the Board Dave Baldwin
It’s almost winter! In other parts of the county that might not sound very exciting…shoveling snow has never been high on my list of things I like to do. But we are in beautiful and sunny Vista California, and although, the sun will be setting earlier, winter in this part of the country is probably better described as “not summer.” Even though the temperatures are a little cooler, it is still the perfect setting for being out and about in Vista. This is without a doubt my favorite time of year and from Thanksgiving to Christmas, the holiday season always brings people together. From great food to shopping for gifts (both for others and ourselves) Vista is open and wants to be a part of your holidays. Whether you are going to see a movie, having dinner at a restaurant, or just getting together with friends for a drink, there is no shortage of local businesses that want to serve you. When it comes to shopping, we have it all from small local shops to big national retailers. Activities and entertainment? We’ve got it! Are you looking to support a Vista business this holiday season? You can take a look at the directory in this magazine or any number of ads to get some ideas of where to go, but you can also take a look at www.vistchamber.org where we have a whole section dedicated to shopping, dining and entertainment under the “Visitors” tab on our website. Looking for something to do? Check out the events tab and look at out community calendar (and keep an eye out for our 64th annual Christmas parade on December 3rd). The Vista Chamber of Commerce is here to connect you to what you want. And while looking up a business on the Vista Chamber website hasn’t quite reached the verb status like “google,” we are certainly here to help. So, enjoy this holiday season, spend time with friends and family, and our beautiful community. support local businesses and enjoy the variety of things to do and see in Vista. And if you ever feel like you need an idea or some inspiration on where to go or what to do, just vistachamber.org it. Happy holidays and thank you for your continued support,
Dave

LYFF Gives Cats & Kittens a Second Chance at Life By Julie Smith Taylor
Love Your Feral Felines (LYFF) is a non-profit animal rescue organization in Vista dedicated to giving feral cats and kittens a second chance at life. Established by Vista resident Christine Hubbard in 2012, LYFF (pronounced LIFE), saves more than 2,200 cats per year on average– that’s 22,000 cats over the last 10 years who would have otherwise been killed in the wild, or succumbed to starvation and disease. If captured, their fates were not much better as feral cats were often euthanized due to overwhelmed animal shelters that simply could not accommodate them.
We need everyone to understand the importance of spaying and neutering your pets and to be careful about letting them loose outside.
14
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
However, because of Hubbard’s passion and the leadership talents of Melissa Dunaj, LYFF’s vice president and senior director, the organization is now contracted with every animal shelter in the county to assist with feral cat fostering and long-term adoptions. The non-profit has become so widely known and successful that LYFF has now won, “Best Charity in San Diego” for the fourth year in a row! LYFF Wins
“San Diego’s Best “It’s what I live and breathe for every day,” says Hubbard, who was still working to save cats while in labor with her Charity” Award daughter KJ five years ago. The commitment to save lives Four Years and enhance the adoption process is so important to her Running! that it was a dream come true when LYFF was able to open a brick & mortar space in 2021. “With everything shutting down during the early days of Covid, we saw a dramatic increase in strays and the feral cat population,” she says. “We saw the opportunity to create an environment where people interested in adopting could socialize with up to 35 cats in a clean, cage-free, homey setting and it’s been incredibly successful.” Hubbard relies on donations and grants to maintain their robust programs, but also on the time and commitment of more than 150 dedicated volunteers who not only maintain the adoption center, but work to capture feral cats all over the county. “Our volunteers are so wonderful,” she says. “They care so deeply and work so hard. We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of them.” Hubbard says LYFF works closely with ARC, an organization that helps children with disabilities have the opportunity to learn work skills and volunteer with the cats. “The young people do simple chores like sweep and dust, and then they get to play with the cats twice a week. It’s such a win-win.” Along with the adoption center, LYFF has a highly successful Barn Cat Adoption program. More than 5,000 cats have successfully transitioned to farm life since 2015. “It seems the more we do, the more the problem grows,” says Hubbard. “We need everyone to understand the importance of spaying and neutering your pets and to be careful about letting them loose outside. Your heart would break to see videos of how so many innocent cats are being euthanized all over the country and the world. We all can play a role in saving more lives.
Here's how you can help! 1.. Become a volunteer 2.. Donate money, food, kitty litter and toys 3. Educate yourself, your families and others about the feral cat problem in San Diego County 4. Visit www.loveyourferalfelines.com and support them 5. Be a responsible cat owner and have your beloved pet spayed and neutered 6. Visit the cage-free adoption center at 1929 West Vista Way, Suite C, Vista, CA 92083. T he center is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from 12-5 p.m. Pay $10 to sit and cuddle with cats and kittens to your heart’s content. Visit https://loveyourferalfelines.com for more info!

Mayor's Musings Mayor Judy Ritter
Reflecting Back and Looking Forward
As I prepare to leave the Office of the Mayor in December, I reflect on the past 24 years with a sense of pride for the accomplishments that have brought us to where we are today. We have grown our city responsibly and delivered exceptional services to you, our residents, through lean and successful years, something we should all take great pride in. My goal was to help improve our community when I first became a City councilmember in 1998 and to leave the City a better place when I took the reins as mayor in 2010. I hope I have accomplished that aim. I have been fortunate to be part of the many projects that have changed and improved the landscape of our city. Now, after two plus decades of public service, it’s time for me to spend more time with my family, especially my grandchildren. Thanks to every Vista resident for allowing me to serve as your Mayor. I have met many of you throughout the years and I am proud to live in a community with so many dedicated individuals. I firmly believe the City and residents will continue their collaborative efforts in keeping our Vista a safe place where everyone can live and work - as one unique and special community.

Altitude Trampoline Park is
A Bouncing Good Time! By Barb Miltenberger
18
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
Sometimes life just happens, and timing is everything. Just prior to Michael La Rocco purchasing and becoming the General Manager at Altitude Trampoline Park (Altitude) in Vista, he was in the middle of trying to open a trampoline park in Washington State. Then COVID-19 happened and seemingly everyone’s plans went awry, including Michael’s. But as we know, sometimes when one door closes, another one opens. That is the case for Michael and the Vista facility. When the previous Altitude owners needed to go a different direction, it created an opportunity for Michael closer to home. He stepped in, shelving his plans in the Pacific Northwest. “Altitude is a great place for kids and adults to come play and challenge themselves. I really think it helps kids build confidence and learn their capabilities while exercising and having fun,” says Michael. The park is a popular meeting spot for playdates and parties. Being that the facility has a very open layout, it affords adults the opportunity to socialize without having to follow their children all over the grounds. Each Altitude Trampoline Park is unique, so it’s not a “been to one, been to them all” situation. At the Vista park you will find an array of activities including dodgeball tournaments, trampoline basketball, battle beam, foam pit, gymnastic tumble track, kids court, log roll, rock wall, stunt bag, trapeze swing, and unique trampolines and courses, spread out over thousands of square feet. You will also find special programming like Toddler Times which happen Monday through Friday during the school year
from 11 am to 1:30 pm. The current cost is only $8 per child aged six and under and $2 per accompanying adult. They also have Neon Nights to satisfy the older kids Fridays and Saturdays from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. Youth will enjoy neon and black lighting, a DJ, prizes and good times. Jump passes can be purchased for the day but try reserving your space in advance online which helps them know how to properly staff for the day. Monthly passes are also available, a very economical option. Just be sure to fill out and sign your online waiver (or fill one out at the kiosk in the lobby), and you are off! A top priority at Altitude is keeping the facility clean and well-maintained for their customers. Check out their thorough C3 Program- Caring through Cleanliness and Certification, which provides peace of mind that the facili-
ties are being maintained at the highest level for the optimum health and safety of your family. A clean and safe environment is just one of the many things that keeps happy families coming back. Altitude Trampoline Park is providing the community with a fun and safe place to exercise, hang out with friends and celebrate special occasions. Please come check them out with your family or group today! You can find Altitude Trampoline Park at 1928 Hacienda Drive in Vista (just off HWY 78 at the Emerald exit) or online at www.altitudetrampolinepark.com.

Water is on everyone’s minds these days, especially in Southern California. Something that used to be taken for granted is now a topic of conversation for everyone from school children to politicians. Leading that conversation is Applied Membranes Inc. (AMI), a company that’s been around since 1983 and located right here in Vista since 2000. AMI is a manufacturer and distributor of reverse osmosis membranes, systems, and components for commercial and residential use. The company designs and manufactures water treatment systems, filters, and membrane elements for products that range in size from under-the-sink home water filters to large systems that handle millions of gallons per day. Says CEO Gil Dhawan, PhD, “The membrane element is the
heart of a water treatment system, and as the designer and manufacturer of membrane elements, we know membranes like no other. With over 8 million membrane elements rolled and 200,000 water treatment system installations, we have the real-world experience needed to ensure the success of any project. … Our products, designs, and material selection reflect decades of knowledge gained where it most counts: from actual operation and performance in the field.” Clients range from municipalities providing water to entire cities to homeowners providing water to their household and everything in between, including hydroponics farms, medical applications, and manufacturers who rely on clean water as part of their day-to-day operations. AMI exports its products world-wide, and also has many local clients, providing water filtration for power generation, breweries, orchid farms and other growers, beverage bottlers, and other local companies. One of the company’s recent projects was a groundwater re-use treatment system installed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The groundwater beneath Cedars-Sinai now gets pumped through a reverse osmosis system so it can be used by the massive cooling towers and air conditioning system. The
We are proud to be part of the solution to the world water crisis... reverse osmosis system now provides up to 80% of the water used by those cooling towers, offsetting the need to use drinking water. Tapping the groundwater under the hospital has led to a savings of about 29 million gallons of water a year at Cedars-Sinai. All of AMI’s operations are conducted from the Vista location, including manufacturing, engineering, warehousing, sales, operations, and even online distribution. Says Dr. Dhawan, “We chose Vista because of the business-friendly environment and the Business Park’s central location in North County.” The business’ worldwide reach helps to “strengthen the local economy and provides hundreds of local jobs,” says Dr. Dhawan. In addition, the company uses local suppliers whenever possible. Regionally, Dr. Dhawan and AMI are partners in the San Diego–based
TMA Maritime Alliance, dedicated to promoting sustainable, science-based ocean and water industries. AMI has also been involved in several committees and projects to bring a sustainable and renewable water supply to Southern California. The company is a member of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, and is an active supporter of local agricultural, food, and beverage companies. Says Dr. Dhawan, “We are proud to be part of the solution to the world water crisis, and of the positive impact Applied Membranes’ water treatment solutions are making in the world. Our thousands of installations currently in operation collectively supply billions of gallons of pure water per day, treating seawater, brackish water, groundwater, and recycled water to be used for municipalities, drinking, agriculture, manufacturing, water re-use, and hundreds of other applications.”

Opening Doors for BIPOC in North County Foundation works to empower, educate & support. By Julie Smith Taylor
26
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
Its mission is clear. The BIPOC Sup-
port Foundation (BSF) is committed to empowering the lives and communities of Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color by providing resources, education, mentorship and economic support by enabling all BIPOC community members to reach their full potential. BSF uses peer-reviewed research to study the racial, social, and economic barriers that prevent communities from thriving. Building off the how and why of an issue, they find long-term solutions through targeted programing and partnerships. “We operate by the key principle that success is interconnected,” says DeMilo Young, Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation.” We envision a community that thrives economically, educationally, physically and emotionally. Young adds, “The core of our mission is to create long-term solutions for longterm issues through education, funding, and networking.” The work of BSF centers around bolstering business owners, uplifting women+, and providing an enrichment program that provides a safe space for youths to learn, feel supported, and empowered. According to Young, these focused programs and grants allow for communities to sustain themselves and grow. As a non-profit organization, BSF is dedicated to equal opportunities for all
individuals, regardless of class, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ability/disability status. It all began in early 2020 when Young, a small business owner herself, reached out to friends and colleagues to find solutions for small BIPOC business owners who faced inequities during the pandemic. Young, with other volunteers, worked diligently to raise funds for businesses that were disproportionately shut out of funding. Data showed that Congress' major COVID relief bill was not evenly distributed amongst non BIPOC-owned businesses. In June 2020, BSF funded its first emergency grant to BIPOC-owned business, A Chef's Agent. In late 2020, BSF took on the meaning of their title by expanding beyond solely BIPOC business support and into the field of education. In February 2021, under the direction of Educator Cassiopeia Guthrie, it hosted its first quarterly BSF Book Club event for educators, along with providing mandatory racial bias and privilege training for its volunteers. Approximately 300 educators from throughout Southern California and beyond attended the event. Surveys showed that they left inspired, confident, and empowered to use their new resources and tools to implement diverse texts within their classrooms, and engage important conversations
“The core of our mission is to create long-term solutions for long-term issues through education, funding, and networking.” surrounding unconscious bias with their students, peers, and communities. This outreach is a virtual study seminar offered for free to educators across the nation. In July and August of last year, more than 500 disadvantaged youth received backpacks filled with school supplies, grade books and community gifts through BSF's Backpack drive. This led to programs such as Explore Next Door, a free, after-school youth enrichment program. This summer camp program for underserved youths focuses on mindfulness and socio-emotional wellbeing, environmental education, STEM activities, and lessons about being a good global-minded citizen. The program offers mentoring sessions to students. Today, BSF continues to serve small businesses with funding and resources
in addition to serving youth and families in underserved communities. “Our future programming will include health and wellbeing programs, which open access to resources for members of BIPOC communities,” says Young. Young is thrilled to announce Explore Next Door’s North County summer camps next year which will focus on park conservation and outdoor nature experiences. They are building relationships with other organizations for a greater impact on our communities. BSF is working with both Vista and San Marcos Boys and Girls Clubs to supply backpacks and additional support to families. “There is still so much more work to be done,” says Young. “In early 2023 we will launch our latest program, Women’s+ WORK (Wellness, Opportunity, Resources and Knowledge). We want to support women+ so that they may show their strength and embrace their potential, which builds stronger communities. We use the definition “women+” to include all trans women and gender non-conforming people in our work.” To learn more and to support this meaningful and empowering foundation by donating, becoming a member or volunteering, please visit www.bipocsupportfoundation.org or call 888-695-BIPOC.

Student's Corner Vista Student's Forum By Nia Lopez / Photo Courtesy: Roberto Perez
There is a timeless lesson that everyone is taught from their youth: “Money can’t buy everything.” And of course, there are some concepts that message applies to: money might not buy true love, friends, or more time—but money means financial security. As the end of one’s high school years roll around, new graduates have to make sacrifices for what kind of degree they want, but more importantly, acknowledge the costs. The government, parents, and mentors behoove the younger generation to go to graduate, get a job. As the end of the 2019-2020 school year came to a close, that year marked the beginning an international financial and social turmoil. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic comes to settle, countless adults have lost their jobs, and many highschoolers have lost the opportunity to build their professional repertoire. According to an article published by US News on September 13, 2022—the average student loan debt is estimated between $25,000 and $32,000 dollars for a Bachelor’s degree. For lower income individuals, they are still paying roughly the same amount of debt, and for millennials, that debt is nearly doubled! On top of paying off a car, housing, and keeping up with inflation, how can one expect people to prosper if they’re graduating with thousands of dollars in debt? Even with the COVID pandemic, many parents continued to expect perfect grades from their children—and students in these environments don’t apply for jobs for fear of their grades declining, along with fear of punishment. This applies to Emery Folsom, an AP and Honors senior attending Mission Vista High School whose focusing on her studies.
“I’m planning on going into neuroscience and psychology… usually, you have to get a Master’s or something else further down the line—so I’ll be around $250,000 in debt,” Emery comments. “My family is upper-middle class, but even with that, it’s definitely going to be hard to pay for college. I’m lucky that we can pay for college, but it’s still a commitment that we have to make with some sacrifices.” The rule of thumb: the more we pay for something, the better it will be. Quality over quantity, but employment trends suggest that the quantity of one’s education overtakes another’s quality of work. “In a perfect world, the quality of education would not go down if college was free,” says Evan Bosher, another Mission Vista senior who wants to become a history teacher. His education will cost him $100,000. Even with scholarships, the chances of getting a full tuition are extremely rare. So, with all this riddling debt, what are students’ opinions on getting their college costs covered?
Evan Bosher
“I believe that at least a Bachelor’s should be free, because it will be the student’s prerogative to get a Master’s,” Emery answers. “There’s a lot of people that can’t attend college simply because they cannot afford it. If the government is pushing for everyone to go to college, they should make the bare minimum available to everyone.”

By Elizabeth Bickford If you, or your child, has ever played an instrument at a local school you likely are familiar with the San Diego County Music Exchange. The shop is the leading provider for band and orchestra equipment in the area. The San Diego County Music Exchange has been under the ownership of Dale Dawalt for thirty-three years. Moving to Vista after retiring from the Marine Corps, Dale would frequent the San Diego Music Exchange for guitar strings while he was in a band. After one fortuitous visit to the shop, he began working at the Music Exchange. Shortly after, Dale was able to purchase the shop and has been the owner for these past thirty-three years! He felt luck played a big role in his acquisition of the shop, but it is evident his care for the business and customers is what has kept it going all this time. The San Diego County Music Exchange offers a variety of instruments and lessons. Here you can find a range of wind and string instruments: flutes, trumpets, saxophones, trombones, chellos, guitars, keyboards, ukuleles, are just to name a few. They also take in a monstrous amount of repairs each year and they can assist with any number of issues with your instruments. This upcoming holiday season Dale expects to have many families looking to expand their instrument collections. Guitars, ukuleles, and even steel drums are an excellent option for your budding musical artist! In store you will also find sheet music and all the accessories needed to help your musician reach their full potential. Onsite instruction can also be booked through the San Diego County Music Exchange. Connect with them in order to find the proper instructor for your instrument. Once you have made your selection you will book directly with the teacher. These private one-on-one lessons are taught on site at the Music Exchange.

The Gift of Music for Vista The San Diego County Music Exchange has long been a fixture in the Vista community, and they have recently joined the Vista Chamber of Commerce. Their participation in the sundowners and the collective support from other chamber members have been a great tool to assist the business in returning to a normal state after shutdowns and economic uncertainties. Dale attributes the survival of the business to the staff. He said, “their knowledge is the key”, they helped bring the business through the shutdowns of 2020. Notably, the continued support of the community and patrons have helped businesses like the San Diego County Music Exchange survive turbulent times. Both the amazing staff and loyal customers are truly a testament to the way Dale Dawalt has run and operated his business the past thirty-three years. Stop by and visit the San Diego County Music Exchange for all your music needs, consider purchasing or repairing your instruments here this holiday season! The gift of music is a present that will remain with a person throughout their entire life!

Should You Go to the Emergency Room, Urgent Care or Walk-in Clinic? Differences between emergency and non-emergency care By Shawn Evans, MD, Emergency Medicine Physician at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
All too often, illness or injury appears out of the blue: You wake up in the middle of the night with intense abdominal pain. You stumble while carrying groceries up a flight of stairs, and cannot put weight on your swollen ankle. Or your baby spikes a high fever on the weekend. When these situations occur, we’re often faced with uncertainty about where to go for care, especially if the symptoms seem severe and our regular doctor’s office is closed. While the answer is not always simple, knowing the difference between a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center and a hospital emergency room can make a huge difference, especially if you have a medical emergency. What’s the difference between ER, urgent care and walk-in clinic? “Recognizing the differences between ‘emergency’ and ‘urgent’ care can be confusing, because both terms imply there is a medical need that needs to be addressed quickly,” says Shawn Evans, MD, an emergency medicine physician at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “However, there are distinct differences between hospital emergency rooms, traditional urgent care centers or walk-in clinics, including the level of care that can be provided at each.”
32
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
When to go to the ER Certain medical conditions are considered emergencies because they can require rapid or advanced treatments, including surgery, that are only available in a hospital setting. Symptoms that are best evaluated in an emergency room include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Chest pain or difficulty breathing Weakness/numbness on one side Slurred speech Fainting/change in mental state Serious burns Head or eye injury Concussion/confusion Broken bones and dislocated joints Fever with a rash Seizures Severe cuts that may require stitches Facial lacerations Severe cold or flu symptoms Vaginal bleeding with pregnancy
“Trust your gut,” says Dr. Evans. “If your personal instinct or your motherly intuition tells you it’s serious, don’t hesitate — go to the nearest emergency room.” When to call 911 Even if it is clear that you or your loved one needs emergency care, you may not be sure whether to drive yourself to an emergency room or call 911.
In case of a heart attack or stroke, calling or having someone call 911 for an ambulance is always the right decision. Paramedics often can begin delivering life-saving treatment on the way to the hospital. When to go to urgent care Urgent care is not emergency care. Urgent care centers are same-day clinics that can handle a variety of medical problems that need to be treated right away, but are not considered true emergencies. “Many people use the emergency room as a place to receive after-hours care for minor illnesses or injuries without realizing they have another option,” says Dr. Evans. Symptoms that can be evaluated and treated at an urgent care clinic include: • • • • • • • •
Fever without a rash Vomiting or persistent diarrhea Abdominal pain Wheezing or shortness of breath Dehydration Moderate flu-like symptoms Sprains and strains Small cuts that may require stitches
Call your primary care doctor’s office, in case you can get a same-day appointment, if your symptoms come on gradually or if you already know your health problem.
An urgent care clinic is not a substitute for your primary care physician, but it is a great resource when you need care but can’t get in with your doctor. When to go to a walk-in clinic Walk-in clinics are a good option for when you are not feeling well, but it’s not serious enough for the emergency room or urgent care. Walk-in clinics, including Scripps HealthExpress, address the most minor of ailments, such as: • • • • • • •
Painful urination Rashes without fever Mild flu-like symptoms Cough and congestion symptoms Sore throat Ear pain Eye redness, discharge or itchiness
Many walk-in clinics also provide sports physical and vaccines. Scripps offers HealthExpress care at multiple Scripps Clinic and Scripps Coastal locations throughout San Diego County. Join the waitlist for Scripps HealthExpress by calling 858-554-7439 or by adding your name to the waitlist online.

Vista School Board Reinstates School Resource Officers
The Vista Unified School Board of Trustees voted on June 23, 2022 to reinstate the School Resource Officer (SRO) positions to the school district. This move was the culmination of the School Board’s promise just a few years ago to reinstate the SRO positions as soon as the district was able to stabilize the budget. The SRO positions were one of many positions temporarily reduced in the fall of 2019 in order to close nearly a $19 million budget deficit. The School Board worked carefully over the course of multiple meetings to review all aspects of the budget, listen to members of the community, and, ultimately, make difficult budget adjustments in order to balance the budget. The budget challenges were caused by a combination of declining enrollment and a dramatic escalation in the required contribution to employee pensions. This budget impact was felt by districts across the county and state. As a result of the careful work of the School Board, Vista Unified has maintained a positive certification on the budget for three years. Members of the school board voted to reinstate the SRO positions as one of many components of the districtwide health and safety plan. It makes me proud to announce that we were able to work as a board to build a very strong budget that positioned us to reinstating our School Resource Officers to campuses in Vista. The SRO positions will work closely with expanded campus security staff to implement a comprehensive school health and safety plan on every campus in the district. Cipriano Vargas, Board President The school district is now finalizing the SRO agreements with both the Vista Sheriff and Oceanside Police. Both departments are in the hiring process for the SRO positions. Vista Unified will have four SRO positions, one stationed at each high school and one to support middle schools. In the meantime, Vista Unified is working closely with both law enforcement agencies to ensure that all our schools have the support they need to keep students and staff safe.

Already known for excellence in the emergency treatment of heart attacks and stroke, TCMC’s emergency room By Aaron J. Byzak, will soon begin Chief External a much anticiAffairs Officer pated remodel beginning early in 2023. That project, which is expected to take approximately a year to complete, will upgrade the waiting room, triage and one of the large treatment areas with new, fresh colors, lighting and furnishings, and is expected to improve wait times and patient experience. Support for this project was provided by the David C. Copley Foundation, Conrad Prebys Foundation and the Tri-City Hospital Foundation, among other generous donors. Building upon the services provided at our Outpatient Behavioral Health clinic in Vista, TCMC and the County of San Diego recently broke ground on a new 16-bed, adult inpatient psychiatric health facility (PHF) on the western edge of the hospital’s Oceanside campus. This standalone building will provide short to mid-term inpatient psychiatric care, estimated at 5-7 days, for patients from the local community
in need of treatment for a variety of conditions. It has been hailed by North County leaders as a much-needed addition to the behavioral health safety net. That facility, which will be managed and staff by Tri-City Medical Center employees, is anticipated to open in early 2024. A new 3Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suite is also in development at the medical center. Opening in spring 2023, this new technology will dramatically elevate diagnostic imaging in North County. Our technology upgrades don’t stop there. Already considered a pioneer in the field of robotic assisted surgery, TCMC recently added a Mako surgical robot, which is the new frontier in joint replacement surgery. Mako joins other robotic surgical systems including Mazor and daVinci to ensure local patients have access to advanced care in their own backyard. With recent and ongoing facility upgrades to our Women and Newborns Services, including our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), we are also continuously improving the patient experience for mothers and families who deliver their babies at our medical center. In the coming months, TCMC will also debut a new NICU Hall of Hope, a physical space in the hospital where parents and visitors can learn
about the amazing stories of some of our NICU “graduates.” Be sure to keep an eye out for our “Birthdays Start Here” advertising campaign featuring one of our own employees, Respiratory Therapist Dexter Ena, and his daughter Eliana, who was born at our medical center and is a NICU graduate.
These are exciting times — and we want to share them with you. We are always looking for team members who love North County as much as we do. To explore career opportunities at Tri-City Medical Center, visit www.tricitymed.org/careers.
