FITMONKEYS

CLIENT PROFILE: Marcella Segal

Marcella Segal, mother of two and pharmaceutical sales rep, grew up dancing anything from ballet, tap, jazz, you name it. Dance provided not only exercise for Marcella, but also served as a creative outlet for her growing up. As she got older and her life became more hectic, with a full work load and child, she needed a new form of exercise she could fit into her busy schedule. She was looking for an exercise methodology that was fun and challenging like dance. She also needed this exercise method to maintain her overall strength, posture, tone, and flexibility.

That’s when she discovered Pilates in 2007. After training with various instructors, Marcella finally found Kelly in 2013 and was immediately hooked to her training style.

Marcella Segal Occupation: pharmaceutical sales rep Hobbies: Spending quality time with her husband and kids, cooking healthy meals, dance Upon initial meeting, Kelly put Marcella through a thorough fitness, movement, and posture assessment to identify Marcella’s strengths and weakness. During that time, Kelly also gathered information about Marcella’s past injuries, such as her right shoulder impingement, and her past exercise experience and preferences. From there Kelly tailored a pilates routine for Marcella that would both challenge her and maintain a fluid style like dance. While her routine is different each session, each session emphasizes full body muscle tone, upper back strength, shoulder girdle stability, low ab strength, glute strength, coordination, and flexibility.

At the end of 2015, Marcella started her second pregnancy with her son. At that point, Kelly adjusted her pilates routine to keep her baby safe, while also maintaining her fitness throughout her pregnancy. In less than a year after her baby boys birth she’s already got her pre-baby body back.

You go Marcella!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Frequently Asked Questions P U B L I S HE R

Derrick Breaux

I

t has been eight years since we published our first magazine. We have grown from one local publication to a collection of 14 magazines that covers the majority of North San Diego County. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I get asked some repeat questions. So, I thought it would be fun to do an informal F.A.Q.

So, how does it work? Who pays for the magazines to be delivered?

This is by far the most common question I get when talking to businesses, friends, readers, government representatives, etc. There is only one answer.

Our incredible advertising partners – the businesses and organizations you find throughout these pages – are the exclusive sponsors that should be thanked.

We are 100 percent supported by these revenues, and without the participation of these loyal businesses, there would be no magazine. So please take the time to let these businesses know you appreciate their participation and that you saw them in 08/10 Magazine.

Are these magazines part of a franchise?

No, 08/10 Magazine has no affiliation with a national company or franchise. It is a home-grown publication that started with an idea, a lot of napkin scratching, and a desire to publish a local magazine our neighbors would want to read. Although we strive to make every magazine look bigger than life, we are a small, family-owned company that started out of our living room – and we are very proud of that history.

Derrick Breaux Publisher

Who writes the stories, and who designs the magazines?

This is my favorite question to answer, and I think this sets us apart from many other publishing companies. We have a team of about 20 incredibly talented people consisting of editorial, writers, photographers, graphic designers, account executives, and a production coordinator.

All are local, and all work feverishly to produce the best magazines possible.

Why do you publish magazines?

This answer is very personal. Although I don’t get asked this nearly as often, it is the most important question. We publish 08/10 Magazine because we want to bring joy to our communities. I believe this magazine is larger than the paper it is printed on. It creates lasting memories, and memorializes community events and happenings. The pages of 08/10 Magazine can be found framed on the walls of people’s homes. People are excited to mail them to grandparents and relatives that live outside of the area.

Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, or even 40 years from now, perhaps someone will open up a loved one’s cherished box of memories. And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 08/10 Magazine that their relative proudly tucked away. And this will once again put a smile on someone’s face. That’s why I print magazines.

Thank you for reading 08/10 Magazine and being a part of something that touches the hearts of our communities.

A STRONG SURVIVOR

After Beating Breast Cancer, Erin Haffner Helps Others Experience Wellness

Name: Community: Profession: Hobbies:

Erin Haffner Carlsbad Owner of MUV Physical Therapy in Carlsbad Gateway Center Run, ski, snow shoe, hike, mountain bike, kayak, and take Pilates and yoga classes

rin Haffner has always led an active lifestyle. While growing up in the Bay Area, Erin and her family would travel to various State and National Parks to camp, hike, kayak, and ski. “My family loved the outdoors,” shared Erin, who, to this day, enjoys many outdoor activities, including skiing, snow shoeing, hiking, and running.

“I grew up playing sports such as soccer, track, and cross country.”

While Erin was in college she developed an interest in physical therapy; and in 2009, she obtained her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of San Francisco. Not long after Erin completed graduate school, life as she knew it changed drastically when she received a shocking diagnosis: Erin had breast cancer. “The way I beat breast cancer at the age of 30 was with the help of an incredible team of doctors at University of California San Diego, an awesome group of friends and family, and a supportive and loving church that prayed and believed in my healing,” Erin shared. Remarkably, just six months after her first surgery to remove the cancer, Erin’s doctor gave her good news. “My surgeon went in and found that the cancer was gone!” explained Erin. “I got a second chance on life and every day I thank God for that.”

After her experience with cancer, Erin was inspired to help improve patient health care. “I wanted to have the freedom to perform manual therapy on patients, teach them their therapeutic exercises, and discuss other forms of decreasing their inflammation or injury such as talking about lifestyle and nutrition,” described Erin. “This work is important to me because I have experienced injuries, surgeries, grief, and sickness, and I wanted to provide a place for patients to come and experience a wellness approach to physical therapy.”

Fueled by her passion for health and wellness, Erin opened her own physical therapy practice in Carlsbad. “The advice I would give to someone who is interested in opening their own small business is to surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are entrepreneurs in your field, and take them out for coffee and ask questions,” offered Erin. “There is no question that is ‘too stupid.’ It is better to be overprepared than underprepared.”

In her downtime, Erin spends time with her boyfriend and five-yearold Labrador dog at her home in Carlsbad. “What I enjoy most about the community is how beautiful it is,” said Erin, who enjoys running along the coast highway. “I also love how people care about their health and well-being here.

They are always seeking ways to live a more fulfilling and balanced life.” 

LEADER

Mary Moreno-Christian Proves That Hard Work Pays Off

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

M

ary Moreno-Christian is no stranger to the importance of strong and inspirational leadership. Her experience working at Camp Del Mar as a camp counselor helped her become a more confident leader and solidified her desire to increase the number of women and Latinas in the STEM field. “I supervised a group of kids ranging from 5 to 12 years old at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. The kids participated in arts and crafts, outdoor games, and field trips to play miniature golf,” stated Mary, who was awarded a $5,000 Don Diego Scholarship for her work at Camp Del Mar and her academic and extracurricular achievements at Carlsbad High School.

Encouraging young women to pursue careers in the STEM field is close to Mary’s heart. Mary began her freshman year on one of the three co-ed robotics teams at Carlsbad High School (CHS). The next year, however, Mary and the two girls on the other robotics teams became a part of an all-girls robotics team. “We recruited six other girls to be a part of our team. I enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere, how everyone was given the opportunity to work on all aspects of the team and robot, including hardware, software, and outreach,” revealed Mary. The robotics team is part of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Tech Challenge, a program where each year teams are given a specific task to complete. “One of the most important parts of the program and of FIRST overall is the professionalism, fierce competition, and mutual respect and graciousness,” stated Mary.

In addition to her interest in robotics, Mary is also musically inclined, having played the viola for seven years and the bass for five years. She was a member of the orchestra and jazz band at CHS and feels that she has grown immeasurably as a musician. “I loved playing in the orchestra, especially performing Handel’s Messiah and Mozart’s requiem. Jazz band was also enjoyable, as I was able to express myself through various types of music,” said Mary.

As Mary embarks on her latest adventure as a freshman majoring in engineering at UC Davis, she is looking forward to living away from home and broadening her academic horizons. “I am inspired by my mother to pursue my educational goals. She was the only college graduate of her nine siblings, and I want to continue her legacy,” related Mary proudly. ¢

Project Walk

LOCAL FOUNDATION BRINGS HOPE TO PARALYSIS PATIENTS

F

ounded in Carlsbad in 2014, the Project Walk Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life of Project Walk clients who are affected by paralysis. This includes individuals with ALS, MS, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, victims of strokes, spinal cord injuries, and more. While many people with these conditions can be treated with traditional medicine, that is not always the case. Project Walk has been recognized as a pioneer in paralysis recovery, offering intense activity-based recovery programs, education, training, research, and development. “Unfortunately, these alternative treatments, though effective, are not covered by most insurance providers,” said Carleen Doan, Project Walk Director of Community Outreach. “As a result, we raise money for much needed scholarships to participate in these programs, which are offered at Project Walk Paralysis Recovery Centers across the nation.”

The foundation holds events throughout the year in Carlsbad and around North County. The next upcoming event is the Project Walk Block Party on July 8 from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Project Walk Headquarters. The event will feature live music, local vendors, local eateries, outdoor fitness classes from local gyms, a beer garden, family-friendly activities, and a celebration of client stories and milestones.

“By supporting the Project Walk Foundation, people in our community can help give people back their livelihoods and provide them hope for a future they thought was lost forever,” Carleen said. To purchase tickets for the block party go to www.pwsummerfest.com. For more information about how to support the foundation visit www.projectwalkfoundation.org. ¢

Five Myths About Exercise and Aging Get Moving to Keep Your Brain and Body Healthy

by MADALASA BISTA, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Oceanside Don’t let common myths about exercise and aging keep you on the couch.

living, such as getting out of a chair or carrying the groceries. If you have pain, stiffness, and fatigue, exercise can help you manage your pain and reduce it over time. The key is to start gently.

Maintaining or starting an active lifestyle becomes even more important as we get older. Physical activity increases mobility and balance, improves blood pressure and blood sugar, increases lean muscle mass, and helps you lose or maintain a healthy weight.

Myth Two: Exercise is only good for the body.

In addition to physiological advantages, exercise also benefits your mind, mood, and memory.

It may even slow shrinkage of the brain as we age. Exercise strengthens the connections, called synapses, in the brain that are essential for brain health and may even increase capillary development in the brain so that more blood supply, nutrients, and oxygen reach it.

Remember to always get the go-ahead from your primary care physician before starting an exercise program. Your doctor will have some suggestions on a routine that suits your needs and situation.

Myth One: I’m too weak.

We do lose muscle mass as we age, but exercise helps keep muscle tissue healthy. Basic strength training with weights is particularly important to halt the loss of muscle and keep you stable and strong enough to perform basic functions of

Myth Three: I’m too old to exercise.

You’re never too old to be physically active. No matter what your health and physical abilities are, older adults gain significantly by being active. Exercise can help restore strength and flexibility, as well as help prevent falls. It can even improve your mental outlook.

If you are just starting an exercise program, begin slowly and build up gradually. According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the goal is to do at least 150 minutes, or two-and-a-half hours, of moderate-intensity endurance activity

each week. This type of activity should get your heart rate up and make you break a sweat. Aim for at least three days a week and include the four types of exercise: aerobic (endurance), strength, flexibility, and balance.

Myth Four: It’s too expensive.

You don’t have to join a pricey health club or invest in equipment to exercise. You can avoid expensive options and focus on low-cost activities such as walking, hiking, or swimming.

You may even find workout or dance videos on the internet which can guide you through simple exercises to do in the comfort of your own home.

Myth Five: Exercise increases my risk of falling.

The opposite is actually true – the more sedentary you are, the greater the likelihood that you will fall.

Physical activity prevents bone loss and builds strength and balance, which helps to reduce your risk of falling. The National Council on Aging at www.ncoa.org partners with organizations throughout the United States to offer communitybased programs that help reduce fear of falling and increase activity and self-confidence among older adults. Your local community center or YMCA can also be a good resource. ¢

Junior Lancer Dancer Camp

Carlsbad High School’s Varsity Dance Team, the Lancer Dancers, will hold a Junior Lancer Dancer summer camp from Aug. 15 through 18 at Carlsbad High School from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day. The camp is open to elementary and middle school students ages 5 to 14 who love to dance or aspire to try out for dance or cheer squads in the future. Camps are tailored for all skill levels – beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Junior Lancer Dancers will gain self-confidence, improve dance technique, make new friends, and learn how to develop a winning attitude.

The team will also be offering scholarships to qualified families. “We believe all children should be able to take dance classes, no matter what their income level is,” said the team’s Scholarship Coordinator Rachel Whitehead.

“We want to share our passion for dance with community youth that may not have the same opportunities that we have.” For more information go to www.lancerdancers.com or email jrlancerdancers@gmail.com.

New Program Supports Students in Need Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) recently announced a new program called Success 4 Students. Each month, SSE will collaborate with local high schools, community colleges, and universities to identify a student in need and provide them with items such as school supplies. The program recently helped a single mom in community college who was struggling to make ends meet and who didn’t have the supplies she needed to succeed in school.

Artist Donates to Beach Bocce Event North County Artist Gerrit Greve has created and donated the signature work of art for Vigilucci’s Beach Bocce World Championship XXXVII to be held at Dog Beach in Del Mar on July 15, with all proceeds benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad. Each year a local artist is chosen to create artwork for the championship, which is the centerpiece of the commemorative poster, t-shirt, and program journal. Gerrit is an internationally acclaimed fine artist whose paintings have been featured in many publications. Although painting is the usual artistic medium for the event, Gerrit chose to step out of his comfort zone and use photography instead.

“Life has been good to me,” he said. “Being able to donate this unique artwork is my way of giving back, paying it forward.” To learn more about Gerrit and his other philanthropic efforts go to www.gerritgreve.com. For more information about the bocce championship visit www.beachbocce.com or email events@bgccarlsbad.org.

e r u t n e v d A h Beac

When summer hits, the beach is definitely on everyone’s mind. The best part of living in 08/10 is the ease of packing the car with beach gear and heading up or down the coast to your favorite “edge of the continent” bliss. From Santa Barbara to San Diego, each beach area along our coast has its very own charm. These beaches and their communities are varied enough to have appeal for just about everyone. We offer a unique perspective of what you, your family, or your friends have in store if you decide that the beach is the perfect destination or pit stop for your summer road trip.

CATALINA ISLAND

LA JOLLA

SAN CLEMENTE

Just 22 miles off the Southern California coast is Catalina Island, a little haven for getting away from the masses. Shop for trinkets, snorkel, take a glass-bottom boat ride, camp, or just enjoy a good book on the beach.

North of downtown San Diego is this jewel of the coast, La Jolla. There are gorgeous views everywhere you look and the weather is sublime. La Jolla Cove has boundless opportunities for sensational snorkeling while the Shores allow for surfing lessons and fun for all ages.

San Clemente has a wonderful State campground and a small town atmosphere near the beach.

Trestles Trail is a must for the hiking enthusiast.

CARPINTERIA Carpinteria is a small beach town between Santa Barbara and Ventura. The Carpinteria Beach, known as the “World’s Safest Beach,” has been rated the #1 swimming beach in California, due mostly to its southern exposure and its protection by the Channel Islands.

ENCINITAS The beach communities of Leucadia and Cardiff-by-the-Sea are included in the San Diego North County town of Encinitas, which boasts the beloved Moonlight Beach.

LAGUNA BEACH Laguna Beach is known for having the most beautiful beach coves on the Southern California coast.

Laguna is also full of excellent and varied restaurants and art galleries.

The annual art festivals draw art lovers from all over every summer.

Check out the Sawdust Art Festival’s Annual Summer Show through Sept. 3.

LONG BEACH Long Beach has the aquarium, the Queen Mary, Little Naples with its gondolas, ferries to Catalina, an art museum, and Rainbow Harbor with its waterfront restaurants.

MALIBU Much of Malibu’s coastline is covered with the famed beach bungalows along with the Zuma, Paradise Cove, and Malibu Beach – just to name a few of the renowned public beaches.

MANHATTAN BEACH Manhattan Beach is in Los Angeles County near the LAX airport. The beach is wide and sandy and the boardwalk is full of joggers, bikers, and other beach-goers.

OCEANSIDE Oceanside has lots of beach, more reasonably priced hotels, and a harbor for boating or waterfront dining.

SANTA BARBARA A cozy beach town beautifully nestled between the coast and the mountains. Visit the famed restaurants and take in the Spanish-Mediterranean architecture. As you wander down the streets of Santa Barbara you might bump into well known filmmaker Bruce Brown – whose cult classic, The Endless Summer, put surfing on the map – or 10-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater.

SANTA MONICA Santa Monica has beaches, an amusement pier, great shopping, world class hotels and restaurants, and close proximity to UCLA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and LAX. Visit the Museum of Flying at the Santa Monica Airport.

VENTURA Ventura is a laid-back little beach town with a nice boating harbor and wide sandy beaches. Channel Island boat tours take off from Ventura. Marine Park is also a great place to bring kids and kites.

The Ventura Beach pirate ship is a must!

HOTEL TONIGHT

With a postcard setting at the base of three mountains – the Thumb (13,356 feet), Middle Palisade (14,012 feet), and Norman Clyde Peak (13,855 feet) – this camp is an ideal hub for hikers and climbers.

Experts head for the Palisade Glacier – the southernmost in the U.S. – while the less ambitious bask around the waterfalls and wildflowers close to camp and the series of glacial-blue lakes beyond.

Hotels give last-minute deals on their unsold rooms with discounts up to 70%. Book the deals easily and securely on your smartphone.

In summer, kids spend whole days ankle deep in the Navarro River, which flows calmly over fist-sized stones through a redwood grove.

Gardens and picnic areas at the Anderson Valley wineries are a short drive away. Stop by the Philo Apple Farm for a wander in the orchard and some fresh juice from the honor stand.

Near Santa Barbara, CA Carpinteria State Beach Kids can’t object to a lack of TV if they’re plopped onto a mile-long beach. Reserve early (up to seven months ahead) for the popular Santa Rosa beach row sites, then spend the weekend swimming, surf fishing, and exploring tidepools.

Camp out under the oaks and sycamores in the Santa Ana Mountains without relinquishing life’s little necessities – like flush toilets. Get oriented to the great outdoors on the Sunday morning ranger walk. The 2.5-mile East Ridge Trail makes a great beginner’s hike.

Near Santa Cruz, CA New Brighton State Beach Set on a pine-shaded bluff above an endless white beach, New Brighton’s 100-plus sites get snapped up by those itching for a beach weekend without the expensive nightly tab. The beach is the real draw and the hot showers are inviting, but another bonus is that if you forget your matches or just don’t feel like cooking, you can easily grab takeout in town, a five-minute drive away.

Near Lake Tahoe, CA Island Lake, Desolation Wilderness A great choice for the first-time backpacker, with moderate effort required for spectacular views in the end. Pack your stuff in after three miles to overnight at Island Lake beneath soaring Mt. Price. The dramatically stark granite terrain dotted with shock-blue lakes is the definition of high country.

Next morning, you’re set to explore the lakes and passes higher up the slope – and out of day-hiker range.

If you’re like most American families, summer vacation usually means you’re heading to the beach, amusement park, or maybe even a big-city adventure. But don’t overlook the fun waiting to be had at our local mountain and lakes. These family-friendly summer playground destinations are just an easy drive up north.

BIG BEAR

LAKE TAHOE

MAMMOTH

YOSEMITE

Summertime in Big Bear often comes early and stays late – at 7,000 feet and bursting with sunshine, the warm and welcome mid-season rain showers, and extraordinary nighttime skies are just some of the natural amenities of a road trip to Big Bear. The sunshine rays are more intense than at sea level, shining through the mountain’s clean, light air, and low humidity in probable 80- to 90-degree daytime highs. Whether you’re looking for an adventure on a jet ski, family fun on the alpine slides, or just want to chill on a pontoon, Big Bear has it all. Visit www.bigbear.com for information on upcoming events.

Lake Tahoe is a popular summer refuge from summer heat and an enormous draw to boaters, fishermen, water skiers, and adventurers. The pleasant daytime temperatures and very relaxing and casual environment draws the summer crowd. With the infinite things to do during the summer, from basking on the beautiful beaches to hiking or camping within the Tahoe Basin, there is certainly something for everyone. Be sure to ride to the top of the mountain on the Heavenly Mountain Gondola, go rafting on the Truckee, take in a boat cruise, and check out the Lake Tahoe Summer Music or Shakespeare Festivals. Visit www.tahoesbest.com for a local connection with deals and packages.

In the winter, Mammoth Lakes is the hot spot for the Southern California ski crowd. Skiers stake out a condo or hotel during the season to reap the rewards of abundant snowfall on the majestic mountain. But ask these same people if they’ve visited Mammoth during the summer and the answer will likely be “no.” And that is what makes Mammoth the perfect summer getaway, free from tourists and full of hiking, fishing, biking, and outdoor fun. Mammoth is a warm weather playground, with its nine profoundly blue lakes, plus another 100 lakes covering the surrounding countryside. The Mammoth Mountain Ski Area becomes Mammoth Mountain Bike Park in the summer and boasts over 70 miles of trails with access to chairlifts and shuttles.

The Panoramoic Gondola tops at 11,053 feet for those who want to watch the ambitious bikers zoom down the slopes. Visit www.mammothmountain.com for summertime adventure guides.

One of America’s favorites, Yosemite Park, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, one can find grand meadows, deep valleys, gigantic ancient sequoias, a plethora of wilderness areas, and much more. The eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park at Tioga Pass (Hwy 120) is a quick 30-minute drive north of Mammoth on Highway 395. Visiting Yosemite National Park during the summer will guarantee access to the entire park via car, as the weather has warmed and snow has completely melted. Summer is the most popular time to visit the park, so be sure to scope out your park reservations well in advance of your trip. Plan your Yosemite road trip by visiting www.yosemitepark.com. ¢

Wonder EXPLORATION Contemporary Artist Adam Belt’s Work Explores the Cosmos

by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

Name: Profession: Community: Hobbies: Website:

A

deep fascination in the New Mexico landscapes originally led Carlsbad artist Adam Belt to create.

Today, his art is inspired by a connection to the natural world and his commitment to his faith and St. Michael’s by the Sea Episcopal Church. “Much of my work is contemplation of physical and phenomenological aspects of our world, the cosmos, God, and religion,” Adam shared.

As an art student at University of San Diego in the mid-90s, Adam refined his skills and expanded his interests. “Once I became proficient in landscape painting I realized that practice would not be able to express what I needed to express or connect with, and thus began my engagement with contemporary art,” Adam explained.

Adam’s recent work, A Religious Experience, is part of Wonderspaces, a pop-up art show in Mission Valley featuring extraordinary experiences. His exhibit, a 30 x 30 foot enclosed space with holes drilled through and a light source from behind, creates rays that look like the stars of a night sky that envelope the visitors. “Rays of light and their religious connotation were something I wanted to make use of for some time, but it wasn’t until this engagement with the cosmos that pairing them with stars occurred to me as the proper use for this phenomena,” Adam said.

Adam Belt Artist Carlsbad Exploring, snorkeling, surfing www.adambelt.com

Adam is also drawn to the phenomenon of the ocean and wild places. “The beach often feels like it exists in a different time continuum than the rest of the spaces we occupy, freeways, tract home developments, schools,” he acknowledged. Beyond San Diego, Adam and his wife and daughter also enjoy visiting the Channel Islands, the Southern Utah national parks, Death Valley, and the Mojave Desert. “These places influence my work as wonder and exploration continue to be integral in my process.”

Currently, Adam is working with Tidelands, the Port of San Diego’s public art program, to create a temporary public piece that will be on exhibit later this year. He recently designed a new baptismal font for St. Michael’s by the Sea. His work is also on display at the Pendry Hotel in Downtown San Diego and at various times at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. For Adam, “Art continues to be a means or point of contact, the most profound works that I have experienced cut through daily life, metaphor, and symbolism to a deep presence and startling silence,” he explained. Be sure to check out Adam's work at Wonderspaces through the end of July.

SURFIN’ SAN DIEGO Catch a Wave at One of the Top Surf Spots This Summer

by SAMANTHA EDWARDS

S

and, sunshine, and salty ocean water. There are few things more quintessentially San Diego than hitting the surf at the beach. In fact, San Diego is known for having some world-class surfing spots, and plenty of options for all skill levels. Since beaches can get crowded, especially during the warmer summer months, be sure to get there early enough to stake out your spot and make parking a bit easier too. So grab your board and some sunscreen and check out some of these top local spots to catch the perfect wave!

LA JOLLA SHORES, LA JOLLA BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE La Jolla Shores is one of San Diego’s best and most popular beaches.

It’s a safe spot for beginners to learn or practice surfing on gentle waves. And it’s great for the whole family – the beach has year-round lifeguard services, good facilities, a parking lot, fire pits, and a children’s playground just across the sidewalk. Several surf schools operate from here as well.

TOURMALINE SURFING PARK, PACIFIC BEACH BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE Tourmaline has a history of being a true surf hangout for San Diego locals. The waves are soft and gentle and the beach comes equipped with showers and restrooms. Hop on over to Garnet Ave. after your surf session for a bite to eat while you watch the sun set.

22 • 0810 MAGAZINE.COM • July | August 2017

SWAMI’S BEACH, ENCINITAS

BLACK’S BEACH, LA JOLLA

INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED

INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED

Swami’s is an internationally known spot for good surf. A variety of breaks make for high-performance waves for longboard and shortboard surfers. It can be difficult to paddle out here, though, so strong swimming skills are a must.

Black’s is arguably home to San Diego’s best surf.

An offshore underwater trench funnels powerful swells into this area, which can be dangerous for inexperienced surfers. Getting to the beach requires a bit of trekking and since Black’s is infamous for its “clothing optional” rule, it might be best to leave the kids home for this one.

LOWER TRESTLES, SAN ONOFRE INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED Lowers, as it’s called, is part of a collection of surfing spots at San Onofre State Beach that sits at the top of San Diego County. It is one of the world’s most high-profile and high-performance spots, often hosting expert and even professional-level surfers. For this reason, Lowers can get crowded and claiming waves can get competitive.

Showcasing Young Leaders

MTF’S YOUTH COUNCIL CELEBRATES COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

T

he Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) presented its Youth Leadership Showcase at the Carlsbad City Library. The “Still Working on Our Masterpiece”-themed event started with dinner and socializing in the courtyard, and later featured guest speakers Art Baker, Founder and CEO of Servant Leadership Institute and Owner and CEO of Datron World Communications, Inc. and Alicia Gwynn, President of the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation. Art and Alicia both received special recognition plaques, and each gave an inspirational talk about what it takes to be a leader. Each MTF Youth Leadership Council student also had the opportunity to perform, speak, and present on how MTF has impacted their personal growth and leadership development.

MTF helps families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders by providing financial, emotional,

and resource support. MTF’s Youth Leadership Council consists of 7th through 12th grade students who represent public and private schools throughout the San Diego region. The group focuses on community service and leadership by planning and executing events that support MTF’s mission, such as fundraisers, toy drives for children, and other activities. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a structured leadership development program. Youth Council students receive community service hours, special recognition at the annual Youth Leadership Showcase, a certificate of distinguished service, and a letter of recommendation for their participation in the project. Applications for next year will be accepted until Sept. 10. For more information visit www.mitchellthorp.org/youth-leadership-council or call 760-603-8853. ¢

Date Night for a Cause

RADY CHILDREN’S AUXILIARY RAISES FUNDS FOR GENOMIC MEDICINE

T

he North Coast Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary hosted Date Night for a Cause at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Over 340 guests attended the event, featuring live music by Atomic Groove, food, opportunity drawings, and a live auction. More than $81,000 was raised this year, all of which will benefit the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary Endowment for Genomics Neuroscience at the Institute for Genomic Medicine.

Established in 2014, Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine seeks to build the infrastructure that will make it possible to sequence the genome of every child who is cared for at Rady Children’s, which has been shown to yield life-changing results.

Over 30 families have had their DNA sequenced, and half of those cases have produced answers for the unexplained symptoms causing newborns to be hospitalized. The ability to sequence the DNA of every

child at Rady Children’s will therefore dramatically increase life-saving diagnoses and effective treatment. Genome sequencing can also be helpful for those living with neurological diseases and disorders. In addition to high-speed DNA sequencing, the Endowment for Neuroscience Chair Dr. Joseph Gleeson and his team will be able to provide clinical genetics, bioinformatics, clinical trials, and cutting-edge research to improve care for these patients.

The mission of the North Coast Auxiliary Unit is to support Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego by advocating for the health and well-being of children, increasing community awareness, and fundraising. Over the past 34 years, the unit has raised nearly $1,250,000, which benefits a different department of the hospital each year.

Is 2017 the Best Year for Housing in Over a Decade?

F

reddie Mac feels this way… but why?

According to their May 24 outlook article, they speak about the economic growth, unemployment rate, mortgage rates, and home sales being a few of the factors behind their opinion.

GDP growth was only 0.7% for the first quarter which is very low but it looks as though the growth should pick back up averaging around 2.3% for the remainder of this year. In April the unemployment rate was the lowest it has been since 2001 at 4.4%.

Mortgage rates reached 4.3% for a 30-year fixed mortgage in March. This is the highest it has been in a while. The rates have declined since then but are still hovering at 4%. The interest rates are likely to increase back up to the 4.3% by the fourth quarter.

Finally, it was predicted that home sales would suffer a small setback in 2017. That doesn’t seem to be the case.

Existing home sales in March were the

highest since 2007. New home sales also outperformed expectations. Data from recent sales has now been revised to forecast a slight increase in home sales in 2017.

We feel that with the research and data collected by Freddie Mac this could very well
