Heroes Reunite is the theme of the 2022 San Diego County Fair. This year’s Fair will take you up, up and away to a summer full of actionpacked fun. Pow! Wham! Shazam! Superheroes are the stars of this year’s Fair, so embrace your inner hero and show off your super powers from June 8 to July 4 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in June) at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. You’ll soar through the air on adrenaline-pumping carnival rides, strike a power pose with your favorite superheroes, taste your way through the Fair’s superfoods, discover entertainment surprises around every corner, learn the science and history of being a superhero and meet real-life community heroes who put Clark Kent to shame. The San Diego County Fair is the largest annual event in San Diego County and one of the six largest fairs in North America, drawing more than 1.5 million visitors annually. Not everybody needs a cape to be a hero. This year, the 2022 San Diego County Fair, presented by Albertsons/ Vons, invites guests to nominate a community hero. The Fair is on a mission to find real life heroes, right here in San Diego County. Community Heroes are ordinary people who take extraordinary measures to make the world a better place. They are mentors, volunteers and do-gooders; veterans, nurses, first responders, doctors, teachers, and caregivers just to name a few. If you know one of those special people who makes a difference every
day by going out of their way to improve the lives of the people they encounter, we’d like you to take a few minutes and tell us about your hero. The San Diego County Fair will be selecting Community Heroes to honor at the Fair. Community Heroes can be young or old, big or small. A hero can be an essential worker that worked during through the pandemic, to a farmer, nurse, grocery clerk, food delivery driver, warehouse worker, parent, student, or just a great kid. Being a hero isn’t about the title, it’s about his or her actions. Tell us about your hero on https://sdfair.com/contests/community-heroes/. Be sure to experience some of the Fair’s super festivals. The San Diego International Beer Festival is back! After 14 years, this festival has become the largest beer festival on the West Coast.

The Distilled Spirit and Cocktail Festival offers over 100 different spirits and cocktails, including some rare and hard-to-find bottles. Bottoms up! The Fair will have over fantastic food vendors serving everything from deep fried Oreos and Krispy Kreme cheese burgers, to a healthier type of barbeque, and this year will have Superfoods! Every year at the Fair, Juicy’s Outlaw Grill sells over 50,000 turkey legs, Bacon-A-Fair uses more than 18,000 pounds of bacon, Pinks sells more than 20,000 hot dogs, Tasti Chips goes through 25 tons of potatoes, Country Fair Cinnamon Rolls pours over 500 gallons of cream cheese frosting on their cinnamon rolls, and Australian Battered Potatoes goes through more than 14,000 pounds of potatoes! Chicken Charlies has the biggest footprint at the Fair. Bacon-A-Fair has expanded and so has Tasti Chips/Tasti Burgers.

Firenze Trattoria This fine Italian restaurant is celebrating their 27th anniversary this year. They are winners of the Diners Choice Award from Open Table and have won numerous awards over the years, including Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and Best Italian by Ranch and Coast. Their longevity speaks volumes about their cuisine and service. As owner/ restaurateur, Barry Podwell, explains, “We don’t have the luxury of having spectacular ocean views like so many restaurants along the coast, so our food has to be very good to keep us here all these years.” It’s true. Firenze Trattoria may not have the ocean, but it certainly does have spectacular food. Firenze Trattoria’s authentic Italian cuisine evokes the romance and flavors of Italy’s Tuscany coast. The menu includes an extensive lineup of local favorites, too many to list; but we especially recommend their signature Lasagne Firenze. Every Italian restaurant boasts about their lasagna,
but this one is truly special. It’s hard to see the layers of ricotta cheese, a mixture of beef, chicken, and sausage, fresh Roma tomato, mushroom, and parmesan atop marinara sauce, because it’s completely covered with a very light and creamy béchamel sauce. It’s absolutely delicious. Other recommended dishes include: Calamari Fritti Antipasti, with lightly battered, deep fried calamari served with piquant marinara sauce; Risotto Portofino, grilled jumbo shrimp served with artichoke hearts and asparagus, surrounding a center mound of risotto. From Filet Mignon al Casino to Butternut Squash Ravioli, you just can’t miss. Happy Hour is 4-6:30pm Mon-Sun with a popular discounted bar menu for food, wine, cocktails, and beer. Mondays offer 1/2 off bottles of wine. Jazz happens on the Patio on Sundays. Firenze Trattoria is located at 162 South Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Encinitas 92024. Call (760) 944-9000 or visit www.firenzetrattoria.com.

Alta Vista Botanical Gardens Earth Day Festival
Beyond Van Gogh
April 23, 10am-3pm
In an imaginative and immersive presentation crafted for our unique times by world renowned audiovisual designers, Beyond Van Gogh uses projection technology to create an engaging journey into the world of Van Gogh. Using his dreams, his thoughts, and his words to drive the experience as a narrative, we move along projection swathed walls wrapped in light, colour, and shapes that swirl, dance and refocus into flowers, cafes and landscapes. Masterpieces, now freed from frames, come alive, appear and disappear, flow across multi-surfaces, the minutia of details titillating our heightened senses. Through his own words set to a symphonic score, we may come to a new appreciation of this tortured artist’s stunning work.
Alta Vista Botanical Gardens welcomes guests to connect with nature at the Earth Day Festival on April 23. Visitors can stroll through the gardens’ 14 acres, take in the beauty of nine Ricardo Breceda sculptures sprinkled throughout the grounds, and browse the crafts, snacks, and plants in the garden shop.

Cruisin’ Grand Escondido Fallbrook Avocado Festival April-September
April 24, 9am-5pm
Escondido’s Grand Avenue is the place to be on Friday nights through September, as the streets are taken over by a parade of pre-1970s automobiles for Cruisin’ Grand. All kinds of vintage autos — from American Hot Rods, Classics, Antiques, and Customs — span seven blocks of the city’s downtown area. In addition to classic cars, attendees can also enjoy all that downtown Escondido has to offer, including great restaurants, breweries and pubs, stores, boutiques, and live performance venues. It’s widely known that Cruisin’ Grand was Steve Waldron’s idea. Steve used to cruise Valley Parkway on Friday and Saturday nights in the ‘70s. He’d go to the T-Bird Diner and think what a shame it was that the hot rods were parked instead of cruising. He started to think that “Grand Avenue was an exceptional street to have a cruise on, a street with great ambience.” The City and Escondido Police Department quickly got on board and their support has been crucial to the success of Cruisin’ Grand. Cruisin’ Grand takes place on Grand Avenue, from Orange Street to Ivy Street, in downtown Escondido. For more information, visit www.cruisingrand.com.

Looking for a New Career? CSUSM Offers Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language Certificate In December 2015, Scott Havenor was laid off from a 26-year career in the software business. Looking to start a new chapter, he learned about the Teaching English as a Second Language/Foreign Language (TESL/TEFL) certificate at CSUSM. Havenor completed the program in May 2017 and immediately saw the value of his new certificate. He connected with a school in Ukraine that teaches American English to local corporations so they can integrate into the globalized economy. The job application required a TESL/TEFL certificate and the interview included preparing a sample lesson, so Havenor selected a lesson he had created as part of the certificate program. He received a swift offer and six weeks after earning his TESL/TEFL certificate, Havenor was heading AMERICAN LANGUAGE & CULTURE INSTITUTE N O R T H

to Dnipro, Ukraine, for a four-month teaching assignment. “I was thinking I was really retired,” he says. “This program has validated my professional life since being laid off and has given me a sense of contentment that I was missing. It was the bridge that has enabled this new life I am now going to have.” Designed for those with minimal or no English language teaching experience who are interested in teaching English abroad (EFL) or in the U.S. (ESL), this 120-hour certificate focuses on best practices in methods, materials and techniques used to teach English as a second/foreign language. The program provides professional development and employment guidance with a strong emphasis on handson training and practice with English-language learners in a university setting. Sessions are taught by master teachers with extensive experience in TESL/TEFL, teacher train-
ing, and curriculum development. Participants receive ample opportunities for developing effective lesson plans and syllabi, practicing classroom management strategies, peer-teaching, and classroom facilitation. The 15-week spring course is offered Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 8 hours per week, and the 6-week summer intensive course runs Monday through Friday on the CSUSM campus for a total of 20 hours per week.

Save Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars By Having Dental Work Done In Tijuana By Andy Lee I have a very good dental plan, but it doesn’t cover gums, molar crowns, some root canals, bridges, etc. I recently cracked the porcelain of a 15-year old crown and it wasn’t covered under my dental insurance. I called a few San Diego dental offices and was quoted between $1,100–$1,500 for a porcelain over metal crown. I went online to look at dentist reviews, and found a dentist in Tijuana, Shirley Baker, D.D.S. She was advertising permanent porcelain crowns for $320. Her English-speaking receptionist convinced me that I should give it a try. The next morning I drove to the border and parked my car on the U.S. side and walked across. It’s a bit of a walk and you should bring a
friend. The dental office had a yellow taxi waiting for me (no charge). The driver spoke perfect English and in 5 minutes we arrived at the office. There was a coffee shop on the first floor lobby. I bought a latte. The elevator attendant opened the elevator door and used her card and pushed the 3rd floor button for me. I opened the door and the office looked just as nice as any dental office in the U.S. and better than most. I filled out a detailed dental history form. There was a woman sitting next to me and told me her husband was getting a root canal and that they have been coming here for six years. They too live in San Diego. Dr. Baker and everyone there spoke perfect English and were very professional. After
an X-ray the doctor and hygienist went to work. They gave me an iPod to listen to music. After removing the cracked crown she took another X-ray because she found a large cavity below the gum line under the old crown. She proceeded to remove the decay, filled the cavity, took an impression for a new crown, and gave me a temporary crown. I returned in 10 days for the permanent crown, and it looks more natural than my other two crowns. Total cost was $320 plus $50 for the filling. I saved over $1,000. A taxi drove me back to the border (no charge). Here is Dr. Shirley Baker’s number (619) 270-2165. Please let them know you read about this in the North County Sun.

Skate Rising Youth Program Returns to Encinitas April 9 and May 14 Exposure Skate is once again offering girls ages 4 to 18 an opportunity to get outdoors, give back to their community, and learn how to skateboard. The non-profit’s youth program, Skate Rising, resumed in March, after an in-person pause during the COVID-19 pandemic. Events take place from 9am to 11am on the second Saturday of each month at Encinitas Community Park. The next events are scheduled for April 9 and May 14. Skate Rising combines the fun of a skating clinic with a monthly service project that addresses a different community need. Previous events have focused on issues such as bullying, homelessness, and domestic violence. The service project is followed by a learn-to-skate clinic, where lessons are provided by professional and Olympic skateboarders. Skaters of all ability levels are welcome. Founder Calli Kelsay was inspired to start the program in 2016, after watching her own daughters learn to skate. She began looking for ways to connect skateboarding to the community, and Skate Rising was born. Exposure Skate also offers skating clinics for adults.
