VOL. 4, NO. 3

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A Sunny San Diego Holiday

y kids and I were in the car the other day chatting about random things. The topic turned to the holidays and their time off of school. It was a typical fall day here in San Diego. We were dressed for the occasion sporting shorts, flip flops, and sunglasses. I glanced at the dash and pointed out that the display showed 84 degrees. It was taunting us to take the boat out. I reminded the pack that we were merely days away from the holidays, and you’re not supposed to go wakeboarding this time of the year. This rationale was definitely met with a bit of teenage resistance. My daughter, to support her argument to hit the water, insisted that it didn’t feel like it was almost Christmas. In fact, she was trying to convince us that it seemed more like a hot summer day. And she was right, but we still didn’t go boating. We are spoiled here in Southern California – especially when it comes to the weather. I explained to my born-and-raised-in-Southern-California kiddos that Christmas feels a little different here than it does in other parts of the country. Although I didn’t grow up shoveling my way out of the house on Christmas morning, I do remember bone-chilling cold fronts and having four distinct seasons. I remember our tradition of heading over to our grandparent’s house bundled up in big coats. The holidays meant it was cold. And people went outside as little as possible. Shorts and sandals had long been packed away. Although my kids have never experienced that type of holiday weather, they do experience the long-standing Southern family traditions that we have kept alive. Whether it is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any of the other holidays that we celebrate, everyone in the family knows where we are going to be and who will be there. They look forward to it, and they expect it. It’s our family Derrick Breaux tradition. And although we may pack swimsuits and sunscreen Publisher instead of bulky coats, I wouldn’t change a thing – nor would they. Traditions are important to my wife and me, and having everyone together simply warms our hearts. To all of our friends and family close and far, may your holidays and New Year be filled with love, health, and happiness.

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

TalentedTEEN Keely Hsieh Has a Love for Art and Engineering by BECCA BARR

ome people are drawn to the arts and others to the sciences. Keely Hsieh, a student at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, excels at both. “I’ve been involved in art for as long as I can remember. When I was little I used to make my own coloring books and write stories, which I would illustrate,” Keely related. “My house was always littered with crayons and markers and watercolors – which I would go through faster than my mom could replace.” She began entering art contests in elementary school and received recognition for her work. She was even voted “Most Artistic” for her eighth grade superlative. Keely does more than just draw. Earlier this year, she was inspired to approach her school about doing a large-scale mural called Eyes Wide Open. She helped photograph the eyes of students and then collaged and pasted large scale versions throughout the school. She became the project manager and photography editor of this photo installation, which celebrates individuality and diversity of the school community. She also plays guitar, piano, and writes her own music. “I love creating things, and music is another way to release a part of me into the world,” Keely stated. In addition to art, Keely also loves engineering. She enjoys the engineering pathway at school, and is grateful that Sage Creek offers STEM-based classes. She is involved with Science Olympiad and robotics at school. She is also a volunteer for the City’s engineering department, where she is learning about civil engineering. While Keely has lived in Carlsbad all her life, and loves the city for its people and beautiful places to photograph, she hopes to leave when she goes to college. “I’d like to attend school either in the Bay Area/Northern California or out of state. I think it’d be a really fun experience to live in a new environment,” Keely said. She dreams of being an aerospace engineer at NASA, although she also has a goal of traveling and documenting her experiences through photography. Keely gets her drive from her parents. Both were immigrants from Taiwan, and modeled hard work for their three daughters. “They’ve always supported me and taught me that everything comes from hard work and perseverance. My mom has always said that it doesn’t matter if you’re the best, as long as you are the best you know you can be, and that’s really stuck with me.” ¢

“I LOVE CREATING THINGS, AND MUSIC IS

ANOTHER WAY TO RELEASE A PART OF ME INTO THE WORLD.”

FITMONKEYS

CLIENT PROFILE: SHEliA MATTHEWS

Shelia, avid runner and yogi, began to develop knee and back pain as she got older. This pain halted Shelia’s ability to run pain free. She also developed osteoarthritis in her hands, which made yoga and mat work painful. Although the pain was discouraging, Shelia wanted to stay fit. However, she needed to train with someone who had the knowledge and experience to work with the pain she was experiencing. That’s why Shelia decided to try training with Denise at FIT Monkeys.

Shelia Matthews Occupation: “Non-profit” keeping independent community pharmacies independent Hobbies: Yoga & Gardening On their first meeting Denise ran Shelia through fitness, movement, and posture assessments. From there Denise developed a plan with Shelia’s pain/limitations in mind, to help her increase core, mid-back, neck, and shoulder girdle strength. She also addressed balancing musculature in the hips. After about a year of training at FIT Monkeys Shelia feels stronger and more fit.

“FIT Monkeys was the perfect answer to my extensive search for a skilled Personal Trainer. I was seeking someone who was around my age and had a good understanding of my issues. FIT Monkeys is a wonderful studio that’s locally owned and run by mother and daughter team, Denise and Kelly. They are both highly skilled personal trainers and have a diverse skill set and a solid background in the health and fitness world. Today, as a result of working with Denise, I rarely have any back and knee pain and I’m in much better shape. I feel healthier and stronger than I have felt in years. I would highly recommend FIT Monkeys to anyone looking to make changes or to improve on where you are today.”

Carlsbad Veteran Norma Walker Honored Local Carlsbad resident Norma Walker, who did a brief stint in the U.S. Air Force as one adventure in her very full life, recently enjoyed a full-fledged military “Honor Salute” performed by Camp Pendleton Marine 1st Lieutenant Kimberly Colby, accompanied by 1st Lieutenant Haley Mansberger. Lt. Colby volunteers with Hospice of the North Coast (HNC), which is aligned with the national We Honor Veterans organization, to recognize vets for their service. Norma was born in 1921 and grew up in Fallbrook and Oceanside. After graduating from Oceanside High School, Norma joined the Air Force. She explained, “I enjoyed the marching exercises, but when I learned after three months that I could rise no farther than a secretarial level and was given the choice to re-enlist or opt out, I left.” She later found a job at an aerospace company, got married, and raised a family of three children. Norma is a wonderful story of a lifelong North County resident who remains positive-spirited and tons of fun, even at the age of 95.

An Evening in Old Hollywood photo by Michael Shane

ConnectMed International hosted its 7th Annual Fundraising Gala, “An Evening in Old Hollywood,” in early November at the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA). The gala took attendees back in time with ’50s and ’60s Hollywood glam, and included entertainment by The Essentials featuring Simone White as well as a presentation of Point/Counterpoint: Contemporary Mexican Photography. ConnectMed is a Carlsbad-based nonprofit organization that improves access to surgical care for youth with congenital and acquired deformities in underserved communities, and supports sustainable healthcare through educational partnerships and interactive telemedicine networks. “About 4.8 billion people are without safe, affordable surgical care,” said ConnectMed President Dr. Amanda Gosman.“Our mission is not only dedicated to direct patient care for children and young adults with physical deformities, but strengthening local healthcare systems where our patients live so they can obtain free surgeries, specialized medical team care, and follow-ups from their local providers.” For more information visit connectmed.org.

Fashion Takes Flight

The Del Sol Chapter of the National Charity League (NCL) in San Diego hosted its annual fashion show in late October. This year’s show, a large-scale production with an aviation theme, featured clothing from local shops worn by NCL Del Sol’s sophomore class, who are set to graduate in 2020. Proceeds from the show went to the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe. During six years of NCL membership, mothers and daughters work together for many philanthropies, including Interfaith Community Services, Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, Autism Tree Project Foundation, and others. The young ladies of NCL Del Sol also receive leadership training and do cultural activities. All of it is aimed at empowering them to succeed in life and do so with compassion, social awareness, and a commitment to community service. For more information visit delsol.nationalcharityleague.org.

Q&A HOW DID YOUR VISION FOR ZCODE MAGAZINES BEGIN? I was lucky enough to have a few articles published about me when I played football in high school. It was very exciting. I still have those articles. I wanted to create a local magazine that made people feel good. A magazine that people looked forward to receiving in their mailboxes. A magazine specifically for the neighborhoods that we call home, with colorful photos and a variety of interesting articles. SINCE ITS CONCEPTION IN 2009, IN WHAT WAY HAVE THE MAGAZINES DEVELOPED MOST? Talent! I have been fortunate to work with an incredibly talented group of people that share the ZCode vision.

magazines (editorial and design) is unparalleled in the community magazine arena. WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST REWARDING PART OF ZCODE’S JOURNEY SO FAR? Having people come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy reading the magazine. It never gets old! WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM GOALS FOR THE MAGAZINES?

WHY DO YOU THINK EACH DEPARTMENT IS SO INTEGRAL TO ZCODE’S MISSION?

WHAT’S AN IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY FOR OUR 08/10 MAGAZINE READERS?

Without a doubt, the magazines wouldn’t exist without sales, editorial, production, and graphics. While it all started as a oneperson operation, it has grown to something much larger. I feel blessed to be able to work with the talented ZCode team.

The magazine is 100 percent supported by its advertising partners. Please frequent their businesses and let them know that you saw them in 08/10 Magazine.

SALES AND PRODUCTION CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY Without this dedicated, hardworking group, it’s highly likely you wouldn’t be reading the magazine you’re holding in your hands. This is because ZCode’s all-star sales team and production personnel create and maintain relationships with the businesses featured throughout our pages, so that we can get our magazines out to our more than 220,000 readers – to you. Our sales representatives aid local businesses – from doctors to landscapers to Realtors – in

EDITORIAL

B R I N G I N G STO R I E S TO L I F E While 50 percent of our magazines’ content is focused on spotlighting local businesses, the other half is focused on, well, you. The zip codes that we cover are bustling, thriving communities that are home to newsworthy people, places, organizations, and events that are all well-deserving of a spotlight – which is where our editorial team comes in. ZCode’s editors are tasked with discovering, researching, and crafting the hyperlocal stories that fill our pages – from Community Stuff to our half-page features and photo pages. While they don’t always get a byline, it’s their dedication to providing readers with fun and informative stories that makes the magazines so special.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS

Positive I M P A C T Lany and Alex Zikakis Advocate for Local Foster Children Through Voices for Children by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Tim Hardy

or Lany and Alex Zikakis, helping San Diego’s foster youth is both a passion and a way of life. She and Alex were introduced to Voices for Children through friends who were actively involved in the organization. Alex and Lany quickly became avid supporters themselves. “I joined the Voices for Children Board of Directors in July 2013 and served on the development and marketing committees until June 2017,” related Lany. This fall, she and Alex, who is the president and founder of a Carlsbad-based diversified real estate investment and development company, chaired the Starry Starry Night Gala, an annual fundraiser for Voices for Children. “We feel very blessed that this event brought in a record amount of money and introduced many new attendees to a very worthwhile organization,” said Lany. From her involvement on the board of directors, Lany witnessed first-hand the positive impact Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) have on the lives of thousands of foster children in San Diego County. “Because of this knowledge, I have decided to serve Voices for Children in a different role. I am excited to say that I have started training to become a CASA myself,” revealed Lany, whose professional background is in print production, advertising, and media buying. She is pleased to be able provide one-on-one assistance to San Diego’s foster youth, as well as use her previous experience on the board of directors to recruit more CASAs. Lany and Alex recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and have three sons. Max is a musician and will soon graduate from Belmont University in Nashville. Calvin attends the University of Colorado, Boulder and is thoroughly enjoying the outdoor lifestyle that the area offers. Hank is a junior in high school at Pacific Ridge School and is involved in the local community. Lany and Alex have lived in Carlsbad for 20 years. Although they both grew up in snow country on the East Coast, they have happily adapted to life in sunny San Diego. “Alex has become an avid surfer and I love to run the area trails, many of which we can access just around the corner from our house. Our three sons were able to walk to school, and they grew up enjoying the Carlsbad trail system and being outdoors,” stated Lany. And while the Zikakis family loves to travel, they are never sorry to return home to the City of Carlsbad. ¢

Going For Silver

GIRL SCOUTS EARN SILVER AWARD HELPING HUMANE SOCIETY

fter six years together, Girl Scout Troop 1782 of Carlsbad will earn the second highest achievement in Scouts, the Silver Award. And it all started with a concern and compassion for animals. Troop 1782 and its seven members partnered with the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) and Project Wildlife to educate the community about animal safety, rescue, adoption, and therapy programs. A year-long commitment and true labor of love, it required many hours of research, hands-on experience and of course, heart. The troop visited animal rescue facilities throughout the County, including Rancho Coastal Humane Society, Helen Woodward Animal Center, and the San Diego Humane Society to learn about therapy pets. Next they took a trip to Rawhide Ranch to learn how to care for a multitude of

farm animals. They created two Prize Wheels and eight ring toss boards that were given to SDHS to be used in workshops, school events, and info booths. The Scouts also participated in two major volunteer events, the Walk for Animals and PET PALS. At the PET PALS event, the troop set up educational games and taught kids facts about animals ranging from raccoons to cats to iguanas. According to

the girls, a highlight for them was how great it made them feel to be role models to younger girls, some of whom will be future Girl Scouts. Troop members Camille Adami, Camden Altenbern, Nicole Keffer, Milana Ric, Camille Sanshu, Hannah Waite, and Kate Vickery would like other young girls to know they can have fun and make the world a better place at the same time. The troop was led by Renee Sanshu. ¢

PACIFIC RIDGE STUDENTS LEARN TO UNDERSTAND GLOBAL ISSUES photo courtesy of Paciﬁc Ridge School

ocal students from Pacific Ridge School and Canyon Crest Academy partner with the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy, a school that provides tuition-free education to 130 girls annually in Kibera, Kenya, through a nonprofit program called the Global Journal Project. Together, the students produce Global Vantage, an award-winning, internationally minded, student-run magazine. The collaboration has allowed students at all three schools to understand global issues and forge international relationships. Kibera Girls Soccer Academy Program Director Richard Teka and alumna Asha Jaffar recently visited and spoke to Pacific Ridge students, faculty, and guests about the importance of education and its role in ending the cycle of poverty. Teka shared that uneducated women in Kibera can either work as house cleaners for the equivalent of $40 a month or get married off at a young age to earn their families a dowry.

began as a girls soccer team as a means to combat gender inequalities and boost the girls’ confidence and self-esteem. However, promising young athletes would leave the team because they would marry or become pregnant. The best way to stop girls from leaving and to further empower them was to provide them with a free education. And so, the school was established in 2006. “The partnership has been really beneficial for all of us. It’s been eye-opening to see the experiences that other people are going through, just to get an education, and the effort it takes for equality,” said Pacific Ridge student and Global Vantage Chief Financial Officer Megan Martindale. At Pacific Ridge, the Global Vantage group is one of over 40 student-led service learning groups addressing needs around the world.

LIGHTS Enjoy the Sights and Lights this Season in the Best-Decorated Local Neighborhoods by LAINEY KRAL

s the weather turns colder, San Diegans pull boxes out of storage and get ready to brighten up the winter season. The tradition of decorating homes with electric lights began taking off in the 1960s as a next step from decorated Christmas trees, and has since spread around the world. Colorful holiday and seasonal decorations can be found in most San Diegan neighborhoods, but some streets stand out for their over-the-top festive displays. Wait until the sun goes down and bring the whole family for a tour of one – or more – of these twinkling destinations.

Night at the Library

GALA RAISES FUNDS TO SUPPORT LIBRARY, ARTS, AND CULTURAL PROGRAMS

he Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation’s (CLAF) “Night at the Library” Gala recently drew over 125 guests from the community to support the library and cultural arts facilities and progams at the Carlsbad City Library, the Georgiana Cole Library, and the Library Learning Center. Dinner, dancing, and live entertainment by Grammy Award-nominated artist Perla Batalla highlighted the evening. Over $10,000 was raised at the event. “We are so privileged to have an active foundation helping to support our community efforts,” said Heather Pizzuto, the City’s Library & Cultural Arts Director. “Thanks to the foundation, we are able to enhance the library, arts, and cultural programs available to those who live, work, and play in our city.”

The Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1998. Community gifts have also enabled the foundation to support ongoing literary and cultural programs in the library’s Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium, art exhibitions in the William D. Cannon Art Gallery, and programs and services offered at the Library Learning Center, plus books and other library materials

for all three city libraries. “Thanks to the generosity of community members, through their donations and endowments, over $150,000 was contributed by the Foundation this fiscal year to the Carlsbad Library and Cultural Arts department to help fund many special programs,” said CLAF president Gita Nassiri.

Beneﬁts of Homeownership W

e are all aware that there are countless benefits to being a homeowner. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun and Research Economist Nadia Evangelou have a new research paper in The Journal of the Center for Real Estate Studies. This was an extensive study and C.A.R Market Matters was able to highlight the key items in the study. We feel it is important to share some of the findings with you. In the health aspect of the study, it shows that homeowners' children are happier and healthier, and that the actual homeowner’s mental and physical health moves in a positive direction when we are in a stable housing market. Regarding crime, the study showed neighborhoods with stable housing options are more likely to have a lower crime rate than areas with less stable housing options, regardless of the ownership structure. The findings also showed that homeowners accrue more wealth, save more money, and become more involved in the community. They are more likely
