as My Hometown enters its third year of publishing a monthly community magazine for chula Vista, we find ourselves excited about what we’ve accomplished thus far and eager to see what the future holds for the city, its residents and us. there certainly are signs the economic climate is improving, but also lots of evidence that suggests there is more work to do before our community feels fully back on its feet. in addition to the many local events and activities we spotlight each month, we hope you find the money-saving offers and discounts provided by our business partners a great way to stick to your household or personal budget while still enjoying life in this great area.
Being budget conscious is an important concept you’ll find throughout My Hometown magazine, even in this month’s special fashion and design-themed issue. our may issue sees this local publication branching out in a new direction. We still have our focus on the won-derful activities, people and businesses in our community, but we’ve added a touch of style to our presentation this month.
reflected best in our multi-page fashion photo spread, this month finds us showcas-ing the best of chula Vista in a whole new way. Using local photographers, models and locales, we provide a glimpse of fashion styles that can easily be put together without break-ing the bank. all of the clothes you see were gathered from stores in chula Vista, with sev-eral outfits being pulled from clothing racks at a nearby thrift store. if you need more advice for enhancing your wardrobe without piling up more credit card debt, check out the editorial piece on becoming a “Budget fashionista.” continuing our focus on fashion and design styles, we’ve secured an article from foliage furniture’s michelle larson about what your interior home design style says about you. the eastlake Design District store will also offer a home tour later this month giving participants a chance to discover their own design style.
We also want to thank the community for coming out to help us celebrate our second anniversary. it was great to meet so many of our readers in person. We hope you will con-tinue to champion our efforts to highlight all that makes chula Vista a great hometown.

CV nature Center launches Web Cams For Viewing of rare Coastal Birds
The Chula Vista Nature Center recently unveiled new Web cameras offering up-close views of some of California’s rarest Coastal birds, including the highly endangered Light-Footed Clapper Rail as well the Center’s Bald and Golden Eagle exhibits. The Web cameras at the Nature Center were funded through a grant from the AT&T Foundation and the generous support of the Unified Port of San Diego. They were officially launched to the public during a special “Critters & Cocktails” event held on March 18, in which the Nature Center and Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox recognized AT&T and the Port.
The animal Web cams can be accessed through the multi-media page of the Nature Center’s Web site at www.chulav-istanaturecenter.org. A new Web site, also partially funded by the AT&T Foundation grant, will soon be launching, and will include additional capabilities for the Nature Center, includ-ing e-commerce. The animal Web cam footage can be viewed
at www.chulavistaca.gov/City_Services/Community_Services/Nature_Center/multi-media.
Visitors who log onto the Web site may notice some young Light-Footed Clapper Rails that have recently hatched. The Nature Center runs a highly successful captive-breed and release program for these endangered water birds. In 2001, the Nature Center was the first facility ever to breed them in
captivity. To date, the project has raised and released more than 240 Clapper Rails into Southern California marshes. The Port of San Diego has been a long-time sup-porter of the Nature Center and has funded research and the captive propagation and release program for the Light-Footed Clapper Rail.
“We are thrilled and thankful for the support of the AT&T Foundation and the Port of San Diego in making this project possible,” said Charles Gailband, director of terrestrial animals

faShion & StYle
after living on the East Coast for a number of years and being a stay-at-home mom, I thought
of only two things: staying warm in the frigid Northeast winters and keeping up with my preschoolers. But, when I landed the best job ever as a worship leader at EastLake Church, it was immediately apparent to me that my warm woolen sweaters and cozy socks did not work with the California casual vibe.
I can think of one picture of me sing-ing dressed in a fuzzy black turtleneck sweater and a long black skirt. I remember that outfit well. Why? Because I was sweating buckets in it. I quickly learned that I needed to build a work-able wardrobe for my life and work.
Today, EastLake Church has grown to thousands. My kids are now school age. Along the way, I learned a few shortcuts and tips for not only dressing any body type, but where to spend money and where to save it. In the process, I added “stylist” to the list of things I do. I love helping others find their sense of style patiently, cre-atively and economically. Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind as you begin your journey:
shoP with a Plan. Start by cleaning out your closet. Items that have not been worn in six months or more need to be given away. Then take inventory of your needs. Ask yourself questions like, “What items do I need to add now that I’ve got-ten rid of all my foolishness?” No, you will not get back into that size you wore when you were in high school. Just let it go and bless someone else with it.
shoP froM the bottoM uP. Great pants. Great shoes. This is where the bulk of your money should be spent. Fit is
essential. Shop your current size, not the size you hope to be.
shoP the high-end stores. You may be shopping on a budget, but the retail world doesn’t know or care about this. The store only wants the sale. So, use as many coupons, discounts or half-price yearly invites as you can. You might be surprised by the stores offering dis-counts in these lean economic times. Be sure to watch for clearance racks, which are often tucked away in the back or to
the side of the store. Look at the pricey items, but buy the discounted pricey items. There is no shame in your game.
shoP target, forever 21, h&M, etc. Use these stores to find trendy tops, accessories and layering piec-es to anchor your wardrobe. These are excellent places to buy long and short sleeve cotton tops and tights. I own
several pairs of large hoop ear-rings from H&M and Forever 21.
High designers like Zac Posen, Jean Paul Gaultier, and others will feature limited edition pieces at Target this spring. It’s a great opportunity to obtain unique, top quality pieces from high-end designers without the high-end price. Also, I am a fan of the Norma Kamali for Wal-Mart. While I’ve only been able to find her items online, I found the clothes to be great quality, inexpensive and, of course, totally cute!
calculate cost Per wear. Cost per wear = cost of garment / number of times you wear it. If you purchase a cheap top for 20 dollars and only wear it twice before it falls apart on you, that’s $10 per wear. On the other hand, if you buy an amazing pair of dark wash jeans for $100 (on sale of course) and wear them twice a week, your cost
per wear is around 96 cents.One fashion blogger put it well. “The
cost-per-wear formula says a lot about what you should and shouldn’t splurge on. According to the formula, items with a high cost-per-wear, such as prom dress-es and other formal stuff that you only wear every-so-often, are more impracti-cal to splurge on than expensive items that you’ll wear all the time.”
shoP with a trusted friend - not a chatty one. You may laugh at this, but studies show that we eat more when we’re at parties. We also shop more when we make a party out of it. How do I know this? I’ve bought many a use-less item because my girlfriends told me, “it looks AMAZING!” Of course, once I arrived at home, I realized that the item was less than amazing and probably could be better described as ridiculous and ugly. And even worse, it was a final sale and not returnable. Unless you’re window-shopping, treat shopping as seri-ous business.
the fitting rooM is your oasis. You’re correct, the lighting is usually awful. However, until you know exactly what works for you, try everything on.
be Patient. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Your wardrobe will also take time to build. Be willing to walk away from a purchase, mistakes are made when you rush. Think about it like this: If you return to the store another time and the item is still there but marked down to a lower price, you win.
You don’t have to ‘break the bank’ or sacrifice quality to achieve your style goals. With a little planning and much creativity, you can become the budget fashionista. No one will know how much you saved, except you. But everyone will see how fabulous you look. my.

the inaugural Stylish Spaces Interior Design & Outdoor Living Expo, debuts May 22 and 23 at the
San Diego Convention Center, Hall A. The fresh-faced event is a vibrant blend of classic, yet affordable, design.
“Stylish Spaces is a trend-setting home expo that is capturing the atten-tion and buying power of today’s savvy homeowner,” said Patrice Meluskey, show co-producer. “Being financially conscious is not stopping homeowners from crav-ing the best in new home trends, inte-rior design and outdoor living. Today, a stylish home is more about welcoming family, making memories and creating relaxation than about creating a lavish and expensive statement.”
A plethora of indoor and outdoor exhibits await San Diegans, including the latest trend of edible landscapes. One of the key features of the show is an Urban Plantation, created by Karen Contreras’ Urban Plantations. Attendees will have the opportunity to step into their own Garden of Eden – a beautiful, yet sus-tainable paradise filled with organic fruit and vegetables – bringing a new twist to the home veggie garden by artfully plac-
ing food plants and incorporating them into an outdoor living space.
Stylish Spaces recognizes eco-chic design, sustainability and water conser-vation with its Tahitian/Asian Fusion Garden. As guests enter, they will expe-rience an outdoor environment that promotes water conservation without compromising style. Shellene Mueller, an award-winning landscape designer, has incorporated the ethereal beauty of Tahitian and Asian landscapes integrat-ing a water display with recycled copper.
Many San Diegans are adopting the fast-paced urban lifestyle, which means their outdoor living space is smaller. With this in mind, Stylish Spaces introduces Micro Outdoor Spaces. Eugene Marley of the French Garden Shoppe will offer design inspiration to San Diego’s ever increasing city dwell-ers. Marley’s balcony-scapes inspire design, while adding beauty to spaces that are sometimes ignored.
Attendees are also invited to pick up a paint brush and find their inner Picasso at the Dunn-Edwards Interactive Greener by Design™ Display and Paint for Charity. At the end of
Stylish Spaces, Dunn-Edwards will donate the finished paint-by-numbers mural to the YWCA of San Diego County, a non-profit organization with programs and services for San Diego’s women and children who are survivors of domestic violence and homeless-ness, including Becky’s House®.

our homes often repre-sent who we are and what we love. This can
be an intimidating idea when attempting to decorate your house. Deciding on a design style for your home is more about what appeals to you and your family’s lifestyle rather than pursuing the latest trends.
Do bold colors and vibrant patterns appeal to your senses? Or is it simplicity and clean lines that make you feel at home? Answering questions such as these can help determine your personal design style.
If the idea of settling down in a room of a few perfect things equals content-ment, modern may describe your home. Modern furniture should be simple and uncluttered without curves or decora-tion. Beds and chairs usually have no skirt, fringe, trim or tassels. Upholstered furniture often wears black, white or other neutral tones in textured natural fibers. In modern interiors, less is more. Each piece stands out as individual and unique.
Does your home appear to have trea-sures from all over the world? Eclectic may be the design for you! An eclectic room is one where many pieces of dif-ferent styles combine to form an inter-esting and comfortable room. Curved lines mix with straight. Dark wood intermingles with light. Traditional fab-rics, bold color and animal prints may all be joined together to evoke intrigue and surprise in the eclectic room.
Balanced, calm and predictable is the outcome of a Traditional room. Furnishings are classic, often placed in pairs, and centered in the room. Everything has the look that it goes together. Wood furniture will often have a mix of curved lines, straight lines and carving details. Pretty multicolored
florals are often the basis
of a traditional color scheme and will be combined with plaids, understated stripes, tone on tone patterns, or geo-metrics. The overall ambiance of tra-ditional décor is warm, homey and understated.
Transitional style is a marriage of traditional and contemporary furniture, finishes and fabrics equating to a clas-sic, timeless design. Furniture lines are simple yet sophisticated featuring either
straight lines or rounded profiles. A lack of ornamentation and decoration keeps the focus on the overall design of the room. Fabrics can range from graphic patterns on oversized sofas to textured
chenilles on sleek wood frames. The transitional palette relies on a lack of color to evoke a clean, serene atmosphere and makes room for
interesting textures. Transitional style balances both masculine and feminine attributes for a comfortably contempo-rary design.
Our interiors say who we are. When followed honestly, this principle will result in an appealing and functional home environment. my.

if there is one thing to be said about the Stohr family, it must be that they know how to have a good time. Whether
it be at an amusement park, on a cruise, out at a community event or in their EastLake Trails neighborhood, Carl, Nidia, Valerie and Sophia have mastered the art of enjoying all life has to offer. How else do you describe a family that has taken seven cruises in five years and has made more than 50 trips to Disneyland in less than 10 years? Even the start of this local family can be traced back to a celebration.
“I met my wife at a party when I was 14,” Carl shared about the start of his relationship with Nidia. “I even went to her quinceañera. It just got better from then on and we became high school sweethearts. We were married on the beach in Coronado almost 18 years ago.”
Although they have spent much of their lives in Chula Vista – Carl graduating from Chula Vista High School while Nidia went to Hilltop – the Stohrs have long enjoyed the opportu-nity to travel and visit new places. Carl and Nidia took advan-tage of a great opportunity to see other parts of the world shortly after Carl left the Marines in 1993. Without much hesitation, Carl went from the Marine Corps into the Army. The military then shipped the couple to Germany where they lived for three years. They did a lot of travelling while in Europe and have made an effort to instill that interest in their daughters as their family has grown.
The Stohr family took their first cruise together five years ago, a four-day cruise from San Diego to Ensenada, and have continued to set out to sea as often as possible. Valerie, a fourth grader at Arroyo Vista Charter, rates the Disney Cruise as her favorite. She has also enjoyed rock climbing and ice skating aboard the Royal Caribbean. Like others in her family, Sophia, a five-year-old kindergartner at Arroyo Vista, enjoys the great food she finds on a cruise with all of the desserts being her favorite. So, what is it about cruising that the Stohrs find so appealing?
“I love everything about cruising,” Nidia explained. “The scenery, the great service, the people, the beauty of the locales, I like everything a cruise offers. Carl and I want to instill an appreciation for travelling in the girls’ lives. We want them to see the different cultures, different countries and all the opportunities that are out there.”
Closer to home, the Stohrs have found much to enjoy in the east Chula Vista community. While Valerie plays the piano and sings, Sophia is playing soccer. Both girls enjoy the Spanish Immersion Program at school. And, the whole family benefits from having Nidia’s parents living four doors away.
“This area is like having a great big family all living togeth-er,” Nidia said. “EastLake is a great community.” my.

school news
School neWSmaY 2010
As the San Diego Padres head into the second month of the major league season, local youth and college baseball teams are approaching the final stages of their season. Over at Montezuma Mesa, three local high school products are helping San Diego State University build on the success the team enjoyed in 2009. Eastlake High’s Jomel Torres (pictured right), Brandon Meredith (left) from Montgomery High and Craig Rasmussen (center) from Hilltop have each contributed for the Aztecs this year. All three came to SDSU to play for and learn from Hall of Famer and former SDSU star Tony Gwynn.
“Growing up in San Diego this was the team I would come to watch as far as college baseball,” Meredith said. “It was easy to come to hitting camps every Tuesday night. I’ve been around Tony Gwynn and many of the coaches since I was about 13 years old. So, it’s been a process I’ve been involved with since I was young. It is basically like home.”
That feeling of comfort was evident in Meredith’s play last season. As a freshman, he started 63 games and was named to the second-team all-Mountain West Conference squad as a first baseman. He finished second on the team in doubles, runs scored and walks and ranked third in RBIs. His outstanding play continued in the postseason as the former two-time South Bay League player of the year hit a pair of home runs in the Regional game against Fresno earning him a spot on the all-tournament team at the NCAA Regional in Irvine.
Torres, who also saw time at first base in addition to the out-field and as the designated hitter last season, enjoyed a great deal of success in his first season wearing the red and black. In his first game against the University of San Diego, Torres notched two hits in his first two plate appearances. The former first-team all-CIF selection and Mesa League player of the year, came into his sophomore season ready to continue his, and the team’s, stellar play from last year when they advanced to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 1991.
“We want to proceed on and try to improve on meeting our goals of making it to the Super Regional and to be one of eight in Omaha,” Torres said. “We need to play well as a team. I’m
local trio playing Ball for the aztecsjust trying to help our team win some ballgames. That’s why they put us on the field.”
Even before playing for SDSU, Rasmussen had experi-enced pitching at Tony Gwynn Stadium, the Aztecs’ home field. As a senior, the former first-team all-CIF pick led his Lancers team to the CIF finals. A starter then, Rasmussen is
now used primarily out of the bullpen with an occasional start. Like Meredith and Torres, he appreciates the opportunity to play in his hometown and for a coach who enjoyed such a suc-cessful major league career.
“It’s real special to have my family come out to most of the games,” Rasmussen said. “Parents, friends from high school, my parent’s work, they all come out and support me and the team and want to know how SDSU is doing. It’s huge to be able to get advice from someone who has had the success of Coach Gwynn. It will only help us in the future.”
All three local players hope to play baseball as long as they can, but understand that they need to be prepared for a career outside the lines. Torres is majoring in public health and has his eyes on a career in the medical field. Rasmussen sees himself in some form of law enforcement, possibly as a fire fighter, after his playing days are over. For Meredith, a business administra-tion major, he thinks about ways to give back to the community.
“To have my family members around and to play for the San Diego community means a lot to me because I have had so much support,” Meredith said. “Growing up playing at Park View Little League then Chula Vista North, it feels good to give back to the community that has done a lot for me. I would real-ly like the chance to play major league baseball. It may not work out, and if it doesn’t I’d like to give back to my community like Coach Gwynn. I might go back to my high school and share with the students there my knowledge of the game to help them grow. Maybe they’ll get the opportunity to fulfill their dreams.”
The Aztecs play three key Mountain West Conference series at home this month. New Mexico is in town April 30, May 1 and 2, while Air Force visits May 7-9 and UNLV comes in for games May 20-22. For a full schedule, tickets or more information on San Diego State baseball, visit www.goaztecs.com. my.

in 1971, “Our House” opened up in Chula Vista as a drop-in center where teen drug users could go for counseling and drug
rehabilitation. Nearly 40 years later, that community center has grown into the organization known as the South Bay Community Services that features a two-story main office building, several community-based programs, a staff of more than 200 and a wide-range of services for all segments of the local population.
Throughout the South Bay, community members find the sup-port of South Bay Community Services in shelters, clinics, police departments, schools, affordable housing facilities and family resource centers. While “Our House” has grown, the focus on serving the needs of the diverse community remains clear.
“The important thing for us is that because we are a commu-nity-based organization, our shareholders are the people in the community,” said Kathryn Lembo, Executive Director. “We feel responsible to the community to deliver services they want and need.”
In order to meet the growing needs of South County resi-dents, South Bay Community Services has consistently added or enriched the services it offers. Mi Escuelita Preschool, after school programs, affordable housing, emergency response unit for domestic violence calls, parenting classes, free tax assistance, job readiness training, shelter and support for homeless families, have all been added to the efforts to reach teens battling substance abuse. The agency understands that to significantly impact an at-risk youth, one needs to be concerned with the needs of the whole family.
“The goal of many of our programs targeting youth is to pre-
vent further involvement in the juvenile justice system or to steer kids in a positive direction,” said Community Relations Manager Erica Johnson, who has worked for the agency for eight years. “Because of the variety of services available, we are often able to address additional family needs as we learn about them. The new preschool (Mi Escuelita) is very unique and is an example of our willingness to start at the beginning with these kids.”
In April, South Bay Community Services opened a resale boutique called “Eastside Sequel” to benefit the organization’s programs for children surviving domestic violence and abuse. Donations of gently used and new clothing for children, youth, women and men, accessories, vintage furniture, jewelry and other items make up the eclectic stock of the store. Store credit is available for gently used or new kids clothing, toys, baby equipment and furniture. Exact items accepted by the boutique located in the Heritage neighborhood of Otay Ranch will depend on demand, wear, season, brand and size. Highlighting how entrenched in the community the organization really is, the bou-tique actually sits underneath the agency’s senior living complex – Harvest Ridge.
“We have grown so much because we’ve had our fingers on the pulse of the community,” said Mauricio Torre, Youth Services Department Director. “I’m lucky to work in a place that makes a difference in people’s lives.” my.
