:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Let’s Party!
Creative Director Tyler McElhaney
W
e created San Diego’s first “zip code-based” magazine six years ago. We now have 14 magazines spanning across most of North San Diego County. The combined direct-mailed circulation between all magazines is approximately 220,000 homes. It all started with a mission to create a hyper-local community magazine that people actually wanted to read. I like to say that whether you are four years old or 104 years old, there’s a little something inside the pages for everyone. While ZCode has some of the most passionate employees working hard to keep delivering interesting local content to your homes, the talented ZCode team is just one part of the equation that makes it all work. Although each and every magazine is mailed directly to your home for free, make no mistake, there is a significant cost to do so. I have the privilege to attend many local events. When I am out and about, people often come up to me to compliment the magazines and thank me for publishing them. While I certainly appreciate the positive feedback, I too am just one tiny part of the equation. The recognition and thanks should definitely be directed elsewhere. The people that are truly responsible (and should be thanked personally) are the advertising partners. The businesses that you see and read about throughout the pages of ZCode Magazines are the ones that make it all possible. It’s very simple. Without their participation, ZCode Magazines would not exist. They are the ones that bear the financial commitment of allowing ZCode to produce this special treat about the communities that we all live in that is delivered to your mailbox issue after issue, year after year. Last month, we held an advertiser appreciation event at our office in Rancho Bernardo. We hope that this was the first of an ongoing Derrick Breaux annual event – let’s be honest and call it a PARTY – where ZCode is able Publisher to publicly recognize some of the advertising partners that have gone the extra mile, whether they realize it or not, to assist in getting these magazines into your homes. While I personally wanted to recognize each and every business that participates in ZCode Magazines, since they all play an important role, we focused primarily on businesses that have been supporters for five or more continuous years, as well as a few category-specific businesses that we felt deserved special recognition. Be sure to be on the lookout for photos and a list of the recipients in the next issue and online (they were not yet available at time of print for this issue). I hope you enjoy this issue of 08/10 Magazine. As you flip through the pages, pay close attention to the local businesses that have committed to being a part of your community and playing a role in helping to create and deliver this publication. I encourage you to take a moment to give them a nod or thumbs up the next time you see them, visit their place of business, or use their services. Acknowledgement goes a long way. I promise that they will appreciate the feedback and recognition. I want to personally thank the ZCode advertising partners, and dedicate this issue specifically to the businesses that make this all possible. Each and every one of them plays a part!

PROFESSIONAL SURFER JOSH KERR HELPS EXPAND COLLEGE SURF CLUB PROGRAM
L
ongtime Carlsbad resident and professional surfer Josh Kerr has teamed up with Mountain Dew to expand its California College Surf Club program. Launched in 2014 to support San Diego County college surf teams including the University of California, San Diego and Cal State University San Marcos teams, the program is now expanding outside of San Diego to support teams including University of California, Santa Barbara and California State University Fullerton. As a Mountain Dew spokesperson and sponsored athlete, Josh’s support will include interacting with the supported surf teams both on and off campus at key events including autograph signings,
film screenings, surf sessions, and more. Josh shared, “I look forward to continuing this partnership with Mountain Dew and the local surf community. Last year’s program was a real success and I’m excited to expand the program beyond San Diego County to help continue the growth of the sport within additional college communities.” The teams will receive assistance with team dues as well as donated products from Mountain Dew. In addition, college surf club athletes will work with Josh and Rusty apparel to design and create custom team gear. The program is designed to continue to generate buzz around surfing and the active, fun, and progressive community it represents.

emember dreaming of careers as a child? Thomas Eshelman does. He joined the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball’s (MLB) American League West Draft this fall in the second round pick as 46th overall. “Ever since I was a child I wanted to achieve this dream and to be actually living it is surreal,” reflected Thomas. “It’s an honor to become part of an up-and-coming team because it means that they see me as a piece of their overall puzzle.”

This is a major year. Before Thomas headed to the Dominican Republic for a MLB cultural tour in October, he was the grand marshal at his alma mater’s homecoming festivities. Carlsbad High School’s Lancer Day Assembly honored Thomas’ achievements as a star pitcher by inducting him into the CHS Hall of Fame and retiring his jersey. At the assembly he took a photo with attending children from Magnolia Elementary, where he began school. Thomas remembered, “The kids reminded me of how special Lancer Day was to me at that age and for me to be a part of it, especially as the grand marshal, gives me goose bumps.” As a pitcher for CSU Fullerton Titans, he was named All-American for three years. He participated in the 2014 USA Collegiate National Team, First Team Big West for two years, was Freshman Pitcher of the Year, and holds the lowest Earned Run Average (ERA) in school history. “The Titans teach their players the game of baseball on another level,” shared Thomas. “The relationships made can set you up for a job later on down your career.” Thomas was a semifinalist for the 2015 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award sponsored by the MLB. “It gave me the confidence that I was able to play at the same level as those guys,” he added, “and only made me want to achieve higher.” It’s not all baseball. But being around baseball players, he mentioned, drew him into fishing, golfing, and relaxing with friends. Spring Training is in February. No doubt Thomas will miss his hometown. “Its people,” he added, “Because everyone is so involved with everything in the community and it makes it a special place to grow up.” We’ll be proud to welcome him home on a visit from his first season on the mound.

MEET CLAUDIA Name: Community: Hobbies: Favorite Spots in Carlsbad:
Claudia Mulcahy Carlsbad Meditating, writing, nature walks, gardening Batiquitos Lagoon, beach
A
t age 44, Claudia Mulcahy was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. She quickly learned that people didn’t know what to do or say upon hearing this news. Although she did not set out to write a book at first, at the urging of friends she wrote Cancer: What to Do or Say, a book for those who are newly diagnosed with cancer and those who want to help, but aren’t sure what they can do. “The book educates, entertains, and inspires. It’s laced with humor and raw moments, while lightly weaving in a spiritual thread throughout. I opt to call cancer an experience, rather than a fight, battle, or struggle. My book is written without such terms. It also has a theme of gratitude throughout because I believe that no matter how tough things get, there are always things for which we can be grateful,” related Claudia. The book has over 200 essential tips, insights, photos, and resources, and according to Claudia, provides the friends and families of patients ideas for how to move from feeling awkward into being of service. In addition, Claudia revealed that the book is endorsed by physicians at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Clinic and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Clinic, among others. Claudia is a self-described free spirit with many passions and life pursuits. She has been a social worker for adults with developmental differences; director of Deaf Nest, an award-winning pre-school for deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing children in Wellington, New Zealand; an American Sign Language (ASL) instructor through San Dieguito Adult School, and a coach for business owners. “Whether I’m teaching budgeting, spirituality, ASL, or what to do or say for life-changing events, I follow my passions: teaching, demonstrating, and inspiring people to live at higher levels of consciousness,” stated Claudia.
16 • 0810Magazine.com • November | December 2015
With the exception of college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a yearand-a-half when she lived in New Zealand, Claudia has always called San Diego her home. Claudia moved to Carlsbad 12 years ago, and enjoys spending time at Batiquitos Lagoon, the beach, and local libraries, and attending cultural and art-related activities. “I’m on the board for Carlsbad Friends of the Arts. On my own, I pick up trash at the beach. It’s good for the glutes and the beach,” laughed Claudia. She also enjoys meditating, writing, nature walks, gardening, and spending time with friends.
Commitment to Community
CARLSBAD PARKS & RECREATION AWARDED NATIONAL ACCREDITATION photo provided by City of Carlsbad
A
fter a yearlong approval process including onsite inspections and peer review, the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) has awarded national accreditation to the City of Carlsbad’s Parks & Recreation Department, making Carlsbad one of 136 agencies nationwide and only four in California to have earned accreditation. The process requires extensive training, detailed documentation of policies and procedures, and enhanced teamwork in the delivery of parks and recreation services. After accreditation the city must also submit annual updates to prove ongoing complicance with standards and reaccredit every five years. Parks & Recreation Department Director Chris Hazeltine said, “This recognition is not just about our department, it’s about the commitment of our city leaders, volunteers, and community members. We truly work
as a team to ensure our community has access to a healthy outdoor lifestyle, lifelong learning, and personal enrichment.” With nearly 50 miles of trails, 27 parks, and community events and recreation programs for all ages, the Parks & Recreation Department works to provide community gathering places and other services that strengthen families and build a strong sense of community, health and fitness opportunities, and the preservation of open space. Upcoming projects for community improvement in the City of Carlsbad include a new outdoor amphitheater, a third city dog park, a multiuse arena field, a new community garden, and a new community center.

van and Megan Filipovitch’s roots in Carlsbad go way back. Both were raised in the area and met in 1999 while attending Carlsbad High School (CHS). “Our first personal encounter was chatting and sharing Swedish Fish candy at a CHS baseball game,” recalled the couple. With a strong connection, the pair enrolled in college together at the University of Arizona. “We had a great experience,” shared Evan. “Megan was active in Pi Beta Phi sorority life, and we both became lifelong Wildcat sports fans – sorry Aztecs!” But after four years spent in the desert, home was calling.

“It was back to beautiful Carlsbad for the Flip fam,” said Evan. Since that time Evan, a CPA who works alongside his father at Filipovitch & Co., and Megan, a stay-at-home mom, have been happily settled in Carlsbad while raising their three small children: Connor (5), Gracie (2), and Graham (9 months). Connor – who attends kindergarten at Magnolia Elementary School – is a player for Carlsbad Youth Baseball and Carlsbad United Soccer (Evan is the coach!). “Connor has really taken to sports,” said Megan. “He’s a full-energy boy, so it’s a great chance for him to get outside and be active while interacting with other kids in the community.” Gracie, she explained, enjoys gymnastics and dance, while baby Graham is perfectly happy crawling around at each of the activities. Together the “Flips,” as they like to be called, are avid viewers of Liverpool Football games. “The 5,000 miles and 8-hour time discrepancy doesn’t always make it a convenient pastime,” joked Evan. “The kids have come to think of soccer as a morning sport because that’s always the case for U.S. viewers. Nevertheless, we are wide-eyed as early as 4 a.m. some weekend mornings adorned in ‘Liverpool red’ and rooting on our favorite club.” Apart from watching sports, the Flips enjoy walks along the Carlsbad boardwalk, beach days at the lagoon, and attending the TGIF Concerts in the Park put on by Carlsbad Friends of the Arts. Supporting their beloved community is important to the Flip family. “The Flips are known to give friends a hard time for straying from Carlsbad attractions,” shared Evan. “Be it local beaches, restaurants, or parks – we love our hometown and strive to teach others to do the same!”

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Carlsbad Socks Raise Money for BGCC
Local resident John Rich loves that his neighborhood is full of community spirit, with Carlsbad t-shirts and hats worn everywhere with pride by locals and tourists alike, but when he realized he couldn’t find any Carlsbad socks, he decided to volunteer his time to design and produce his own. With 30 years of experience in the apparel industry, it was a fairly easy task for John, and by early July of this year he began delivering the socks to be sold in local shops such as Carlsbad Pipelines, Offshore Surf Shop, and Señor Grubby’s, just to name a few. The socks serve in part as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC), with $2 from every sale going to help fund afterschool programs and other events put on by the BGCC. John commented, “I chose the Boys & Girls Club because I believe in the leadership there.” When asked what he loves most about Carlsbad, John shared, “My passion is surfing and the ocean, so the beaches are what I love most. Also, the locals make this town special and they know who they are.”
Holiday at the Rancho
The City of Carlsbad’s annual Holiday at the Rancho celebration is back to bring a bit of holiday spirit, western history, and family fun to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park.

Santa himself will be making an appearance as well, and he might even be wearing his cowboy hat! Photos with Santa can be captured with cameras or purchased for $3. Pony rides will also be available for $6. Once a working ranchero, the park was owned by actor, philanthropist, poet, preservationist, and rancher Leo Carrillo. “We are so lucky to have this unique property in Carlsbad,” said City of Carlsbad Special Events Supervisor Rachael Shay. “It lends itself to the nostalgia of the holiday season.” For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.carlsbadconnect.org.
The Veterans History Project
Established in 2000 by the U.S. Congress, the Veterans History Project is a nationwide movement to record and preserve the lives and stories of U.S. veterans as a legacy for their families and future generations. North County resident Stan Smith, a World War II veteran, was one of the first to be interviewed for the project out of Congressman Scott Peters’ office, and thought so highly of his experience that he volunteered to recruit and interview other local veterans to tell their stories. “I have personally heard many exciting and emotional stories from several notable veterans, including men who were bombed on ships at Pearl Harbor in 1941. I believe the entire country could benefit by these stories before they are lost forever,” shared Stan. All local veterans are eligible to participate in this project. For those interested in participating, contact Stan directly at 858-485-5398. To learn more visit www.loc.gov/vets.

SSE is a local 501(c)(3) organization that seeks to build awareness about sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint of waste by diverting items from the landfill – everything from office supplies to lab equipment – and redistributing them as donations to educational, charitable, and start-up organizations in need. SSE was founded by Sue Prelozni in 2011, and since then has benefited more than 30,000 teachers, students, nonprofits, and start-up entrepreneurs throughout San Diego County, more than 10 percent of which are located in Carlsbad. In addition, through the participation of more than 200 companies, the nonprofit’s program has donated $1.7 million worth of still usable assets, diverting 374,000 pounds of items from landfills. Sue commented, “This has been quite an experience – a lot of passion mixed in with hard work and faith. SSE has been blessed by the support of many committed people who volunteer their time to achieve the mission of building a sustainable community.”
Moon Patrol
Carlsbad resident Devin C. Hughes recently released his children’s story Moon Patrol, a space exploration adventure and humorous picture book series for young and early readers which focuses on themes of inclusion and diversity. Devin shared, “The main character, Axis Jaxson, travels the galaxy helping the helpless, righting wrongs, and solving problems. A race of aliens have altered their DNA to eradicate any diversity or specialty. Axis helps show them the importance of diversity and the value of having different cultures in society.” According to Devin, Moon Patrol seeks to change the landscape of children’s books by featuring a confident African-American protagonist. “I want to help kids understand that people may look different on the outside, but we’re all the same on the inside.” He continued, “Through Axis’ interaction with different planets and alien species, kids will learn tolerance and open mindedness to new cultures and different people, and that it can be fun to get to know the unknown!” For more information visit www.devinhughes.com.

our décor and free-admission museum. It is definitely a uniquely GDT&M experience to grab a Sam Adams and stroll through our museum to see an authentic document signed by the man himself,” related John Lek, senior vice president and general manager. The 22,000-foot-venue also houses a private meeting and banquet facility, as well as a coffeehouse and bookstore. The restaurant’s exterior is an enhanced replica of the original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston’s North End, demolished in 1854, and the site of many secret meetings relating to historic events such as the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. In fact, the original Green Dragon Tavern was referred to as the “Headquarters of the Revolution.” “Taverns were the epicenter of 18th century communities. We wanted to open an inviting venue that would provide value to our community and reconnect our guests with the essence of patriotism, freedom, duty, and innovation that led to the birth of our nation’s independence,” explained Lek. Through the nonprofit organization, Green Dragon Tavern Historical Foundation of California, a collection of primary source documents and antiques are displayed free of charge for guests to view. Although there is no obligation to dine at the GDT&M in order to visit the museum, according to Lek, the restaurant and event operation allow for the growth of the collection and programs of the museum. Although the GDT&M celebrates American colonial history, there is no shortage of modern conveniences and perks. Happy hour is offered Monday through Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m., and all day on Sunday. There are 20 craft beers on tap, a new craft cocktail libations menu, brunch is offered every Sunday, and there are large screen LED TVs for sports viewing. “We have NFL Sunday

The Boy and Girl Scouts of Carlsbad are Preparing Local Youth to be the Leaders of Tomorrow
photos by Samantha Gleaton Photography
F
or over a century, the Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs have
been teaching young people what it means to have self-confidence and self-respect, to help others, and live an upstanding, productive life. As two of the most prominent leadership development programs in the nation, Scouting provides children and teens the opportunity to have fun and experience new things while teaching life skills and fostering a sense of community. We speak with Boy Scouts Pacific Coast District Chairman Stewart Walton and Girl Scouts Carlsbad Service Unit Manager Penny Halverson about the ways these programs are making the world a better place, one troop at a time.

Q&A with
Boy Scouts Pacific Coast District Chairman, Stewart Walton WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZATION? The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 in the District of Columbia by William D. Boyce. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT? WHEN WAS IT STARTED? The Pacific Coast District was formed in 2000 from the Tecolote District, but scouting in the North County coastal area goes back at least to the ‘40s. The Ecke Building at the present San Diego Botanical Garden started out life as the Scout Building on the Larabee estate. The District presently serves 1,400 youth in 45 units. Most of the members are boys but Venturing Crews can be co-ed. WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF BOY SCOUTS? In my words, we help young people grow into responsible adults by providing fun and challenging activities, with adults serving as guides and models. The official version states, “The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.” The Scout Oath reads, “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” The Scout Law: “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS DISTRICT CHAIRMAN? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS ROLE? The district chairman is a volunteer position; I recruit other volunteers to support scouting and coordinate the overall functioning of the district from recruiting to training to camping. I have been chairman for three years. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF BEING THE DISTRICT CHAIRMAN? Seeing scouts have a great time at a rainy campout, interviewing prospective Eagle
Scouts, and listening to former scouts reminisce about their scouting career. WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING INVOLVED WITH BOY SCOUTS? My sons were interested and I always loved the outdoors. Then I read books about the importance of the outdoors on the development of young men and I got hooked. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXCITING PLANS THIS YEAR FOR THE BOY SCOUTS INVOLVED WITH THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT? We are planning a two-day Camporee in the spring to bring all the Boy Scout and Venturing Crew units together in Ramona with games and challenges. One other item is that we are realigning the boundaries of all the Boy Scouts of America districts and the Pacific Coast District will grow to include a larger part of Carlsbad. Those interested in learning more should visit www.beascout.org. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH FOR THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT’S PROGRAM THIS YEAR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I wish for the chance to bring our program to more boys and girls. Most people don’t realize that girls ages 13 to 20 can be part of a high-adventure scouting program called Venturing Crew. WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION FOR A BOY TO BECOME PART OF A BOY SCOUT TROOP? Make friends, do challenging things, go camping. Have fun. HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT JOINING A TROOP? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHEN SOMEONE CAN JOIN? Go to www.beascout.org and find a pack, troop, or crew near you. Or ask a scout that you know. You will fill out an application that your parents will sign. The minimum age for Cub Scouts is seven years old or in first grade. For Boy Scouts, the minimum age is 10 years old or in sixth grade. For Venturers, the minimum age is 14 years.

Q&A with
Girl Scouts Carlsbad Service Unit Manager Penny Halverson WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE GIRL SCOUTS ORGANIZATION? Girl Scouts in the USA was started over 100 years ago in Savannah, GA by Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT? WHEN WAS IT STARTED? The first reported Girl Scout troop in Carlsbad was started in 1943 and had 12 girl scouts. By 1960 that number had grown to 12 troops and 214 girl scouts. WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF GIRL SCOUTS? Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS SERVICE UNIT MANAGER? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS ROLE? My role is to oversee the running of the Carlsbad Service Unit (SU) with help from the SU team, to mentor and support troop leaders, help plan events, and help grow the Girl Scout community in Carlsbad. I’m stepping down after nearly three years but will continue to be part of the SU team as registrar. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF BEING THE SERVICE UNIT MANAGER? Getting to work with some truly remarkable adult volunteers and watching girls go from being shy and reserved to being confident leaders amongst their peers.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING INVOLVED WITH GIRL SCOUTS? I was a Girl Guide in South Africa as a child and my mother was a Brownie and Girl Guide in the UK. When my daughter started kindergarten I knew I wanted her to have the same great experiences so I started a Daisy troop. I enjoyed being a leader so much that I started another troop for a friend’s daughter. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXCITING PLANS THIS YEAR FOR THE GIRL SCOUTS INVOLVED WITH THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT? We have a She & Me Ice Skating event planned for October at the Carlsbad Ice Town. In February there is the multicultural Thinking Day event which is always a highlight. Our annual service unit multi-age level encampment is planned for May 2016. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH FOR THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT’S PROGRAM THIS YEAR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? That we continue to foster a sense of community amongst our troops and volunteers. WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION FOR A GIRL TO BECOME PART OF A TROOP? There are many reasons: girls may have family members who have been Girl Scouts, some girls join a troop to make friends at a new school, and many girls want to join after meeting Girl Scouts selling cookies. Others want to get outdoors and try new things.
HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT JOINING A TROOP? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHEN SOMEONE CAN JOIN? Visit www.sdgirlscouts.org/join. Once you’ve registered you‘ll be able to search for troops by zip code. Most new troops start in the fall, but you can start a troop at anytime. The easiest way to get your daughter in a troop is to volunteer to be a troop leader or co-leader. AT WHAT AGE LEVELS CAN GIRLS PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM? PLEASE DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GIRL SCOUTS BY GRADE. Girls can participate in Girl Scouts from kindergarten though 12th grade. Program levels are based on grade level rather than age: Daisy (grades K through 1), Brownie (grades 2 through 3), Junior (grades 4 through 5), Cadette (grades 6 through 8), Senior

Girl Scout Cookie Sales take place Jan. 24 through March 6 in 2016. Community support is crucial to the success of our hardworking cookie sellers.

Troop proceeds from cookie sales make it possible for girls to do fun activities, camp, travel, and fund local community service projects.

n 2010, Clint Perry had this clever idea for a book: Pack Rat Pat, Don’t Take That! was about a rat that steals all your toys at night if you don’t clean them up. He printed and sold this book, reading it at libraries and bookstores around San Diego. This evolved into reading and playing a song he’d written for the story, which developed into a debut album for Clint and his band, The Boo Hoo Crew (BHC). The resultant record, Jelly & Peanut Butter, contains a boatload of fun and interactive children’s tunes written mostly about Clint’s children, and the band has continued to entertain kids throughout Southern California. As far as the genre of music The BHC plays, “I don’t think you can label us any style really,” Clint explained. “We’ve got ‘70s disco with ‘The Junkyard’ to bluegrass with ‘Face Full of Spider Webs’ to a fusion jazz with ‘Garbage Eating Dinosaur’ to electronic dance with songs like ‘Let’s Dance’ or ‘Go Go.’ It is, however,” Clint said, “all in the realm of family/ kids music.” With Carlsbad as a central location to the band members’ residences, they’ve been writing songs and creating shows there for the past four years. The BHC is inspired by life and many songs come directly from their fans. For example, one as-yet-unreleased song called “Music Time” was inspired by a young fan’s hesitancy to go to school until he found out there was a music circle. Another song “All She Wants to Do is Dance” is written for an enthusiastic fan who comes to shows and dances and dances. “Teddy Bear March” was gleaned from Clint’s memories of his own teddy bear. The versatility needed for songwriters becomes obvious when thinking of all the topics covered: from planes and trains to pirates and astronauts, and let’s not forget boogers and potty. BHC’s second album Shake Your Pirate Booty won the 2012 Parent’s Choice Fun Stuff award and is still, three years later, an Editor’s Choice pick on CDBaby.com. Super Hero has peaked at number one on CDBaby.com. Clint confided, “This may sound ultra cliché but it’s true, our awards are the kids and fans that hug us, thank us, message us, and love us at every show. That kind of award is the best reward.”

athy’s Legacy Foundation (KLF) held its inaugural Inspiring Dreams Gala at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa in early October. Founded in honor of Kathy Scharbarth, the nonprofit funds programs to benefit victims of domestic violence and their children. Nearly 300 people attended the event and danced the night away to live music from The Fabulous Ultratones. Guests also enjoyed live and silent auctions with featured items for bid such as a Cobra Puma Golf Experience and luxurious getaways to Maui and Palm Desert. In addition, Kathy’s teenage daughter presented the Inspiring Dreams Award to long-time domestic violence advocate Casey Gwinn. KLF Co-founder Ginny Scharbarth commented on the event, “We are thrilled and overwhelmed by the support from the community. San Diego County has rallied around our goal of helping people traumatized by abuse and helped us to raise more than $90,000. Our foundation has only been around for a little more than a year but we are committed to being a voice not an echo. This is just the beginning of the support we plan to provide for these families.” KLF’s long-term goal is to build Kathy’s Village and Kennel to provide an all-inclusive safe haven for survivors of domestic violence, their children, and pets.

Get the Facts about the Flu
by SANDHYA DESAI, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Carlsbad
As the weather cools, football fans rejoice, and families look forward to holidays – and no one wants the flu to slow them down. The following flu facts should help you prevent this annual affliction from foiling your fall and winter fun. Can you get the flu from the vaccine? No, the flu vaccine, which generally includes three to four flu strains and covers the likely types of influenza A and B, can’t give you the flu. The flu shot contains dead viruses or no viruses, so you can’t catch the flu from getting one. You might have aches or a low fever, or your arm might hurt, but these side effects are generally mild. While the nasal spray flu vaccine does contain live viruses, they are weakened and cannot cause the flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Also be aware that it takes about two weeks after the vaccination for antibodies to develop and provide protection against the flu. How does the flu spread? Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough so any droplets with flu fluids are not spread through the air. It’s best if you can sneeze into a tissue or paper towel, but if you don’t have those handy, sneeze into the crook of your elbow and wash your clothes before wearing them again. Don’t sneeze into your hands because the virus will be transferred to any surface you touch, such as a door knob. To avoid flying droplets from others, put your arm over your face and turn away.
How far should I stand from someone with the flu? Keep your distance from someone who is suffering from the flu. Infectious flu-containing particles can travel at least six feet. I think I had the flu. Should I still get vaccinated? Yes, even if you think you have had the flu already, get your flu shot. First, unless you were tested for the flu virus, you may not have had the flu, and even if you were diagnosed with the flu, you had one strain of the virus. The vaccine protects against several strains of the virus, so getting vaccinated lowers your risk of getting sick from other strains. However, be aware that the vaccine does not guarantee that you will not get the flu because the effectiveness varies from year to year. Where did the name originate? Influenza earned its name from an Italian folk word that attributed colds, cough, and fever to the influence of the stars. How long can the virus last? The influenza virus generally can survive on surfaces such as doorknobs or books between two and eight hours, according to the CDC. When is flu season? In the United States flu season occurs in the fall and winter, with seasonal flu activity peaking in January or February. However, flu outbreaks can occur as early as October and as late as May. Where can I get a flu vaccine? Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including your doctor’s office, many employers, and pharmacies. Check with your primary care physician to find out more. ¢
Sandhya Desai, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Carlsbad. Dr. Desai provides comprehensive primary care and believes that laughter is the best medicine. Fluent in Gujartee, Dr. Desai enjoys tennis and reading when not helping patients.

THE JEWEL
OF THE CITY
San Diego's Beloved Balboa Park Has Something for Everyone This Winter by LAINEY KRAL
Y
ou don’t have to travel far or spend a lot to make the most of upcoming winter vacations. The time off for the kids makes this the perfect time to explore one of San Diego’s most beloved destinations. Balboa Park offers a number of free year-round activities for the whole family, as well as some special events for the holiday season.
Balboa Park December Nights This annual tradition dates back to the first Christmas on the Prado festival in 1978, which hosted just under 3,000 visitors. Now called Balboa Park December Nights, the 38th annual event is expected to draw a joyous crowd of over 350,000. Museums will be open free in the evenings, the Botanical Building will be filled with poinsettias, and the United Nations Building will offer decorations and cards from all over the world.

The
festival will take place Friday, Dec. 4 from 3 to 11 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5 from 12 to 11 p.m. Learn more at www.balboapark.org/decembernights.
Guided Tours If you’re unfamiliar with Balboa Park, or just want an expert’s guidance to get
to know the park better, one of the free guided tours might be just what you need. Local organizations of experts and park rangers offer regular tours focused on architectural history, birdwatching, park flora and fauna, general park history, and more. Find out more about specific tours at www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/ parks/regional/balboa/tours.shtml.

T
he 13th Annual ArtSplash Chalk Art and Entertainment Festival returned to Carlsbad in late September with a colorful weekend of art and family fun. Every year at ArtSplash, professional artists gather to decorate the pavement with museum-quality chalk paintings and families from all over North County come to watch in awe. This year’s event, in the theme of “A September to Remember,” featured the magical 3D chalk art of internationally-renowned artist Tracy Lee Strum and performances by the Fern Street Circus, as well as sand sculpture by Gerry Kirk, and entertainment by the Vista Buddhist Temple Shokenji Taiko Drummers and the Euphoria Brass Band. Attendees also had the opportunity to create their own family chalk squares, and many local teachers brought their students to create art projects. Proceeds from the event benefit arts and music programs in North County schools. ArtSplash Co-founder and Chair Joni Miringoff said, “We thank all the educators for inspiring their students to soar and succeed. Their efforts enable ArtSplash to fulfill its mission as a community celebration for arts education.” For more information visit www.carlsbadartsplash.org or www.facebook.com/carlsbadartsplash. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
Putting a Freeze on Holiday Fire Hazards
by SHYANNE LOPEZ
ith the holiday season quickly approaching, many are making preparations for the feasts, gatherings, and fun to be had. But don’t let the festivities let you forget that, according to the United States Fire Administration, the holiday season also means an increase of house �ires. Therefore, in the midst of gearing up for the colder season it’s important not to forget some crucial steps to keep your home safe. To help prevent �ire hazards we’ve compiled some guidelines that will help you keep your home and loved ones cozy, cheerful, and warm – but not too warm.
Keepin’ it Cool in the Kitchen
Because cooking is the leading cause of fires in the U.S., it’s important to take extra precautions this time of year, whether it’s the Thanksgiving feast or a traditional family meal. First and foremost, never leave your kitchen or home unattended while cooking. Check on your cooking frequently and be aware of what appliances are turned on. When children are in the kitchen, keep them away from hot food and liquids, as a splash from gravy or grease can cause serious burns. Consider keeping a fire extinguisher handy just in case and, if necessary, keep in mind that flour and baking soda can snuff out a grease fire while water can’t.
Careful with those Candles
No matter the holiday, it seems as if candles are universally loved during the winter months. They bring a sense of coziness to a room, but also pose some risks if not carefully attended to. Make sure to always blow out candles before leaving your home or before you fall asleep. In fact, it’s best to avoid using candles in the bedroom or somewhere you are likely to fall asleep. When placing your candles, choose a sturdy candle holder and place away from any curtains, blankets, paper, or plants. And of course, make sure your home’s fire detectors are working correctly.
38 • 0810Magazine.com • November | December 2015
Electricity and Wiring
As the months get colder, the houses get brighter. Before stringing up those twinkling lights, keep a couple things in mind. In older homes, electrical safety is important because most of them weren’t wired to withstand today’s electrical load limits. Avoid plugging too many items into an electrical socket, and don’t string together more than three strands of lights. Make sure you purchase holiday lights that have been tested for safety by an independent laboratory. Also, don’t hang indoor lights outside – or vice versa. Lastly, inspect your lights to make sure they are in good condition. This means checking for exposed wires or shattered bulbs, which should be replaced.
Don’t Forget that Tree!
In our warm Southern California climate, those who have a Christmas tree in their home should regularly check water levels. A dry tree is especially susceptible to catching fire. When first purchasing your tree, choose one with fresh green needles. Before placing the trunk into its stand, prevent your tree from drying out early by cutting two inches from the base of the trunk. Make sure to place your tree at least three feet from any source of heat such as a fireplace, lamp, or radiator, and avoid keeping your tree lights lit when you’re asleep, as most fires occur overnight. Once holiday festivities have come to a close, dispose of your tree sooner rather than later to avoid letting it dry out.
Space Heater Set-Up
While it might be hard for visitors to believe, San Diego actually can get a little chilly during winter. During these times, many choose to use space heaters rather than a furnace because it is less expensive – especially in larger homes. If you use a space heater, make sure it has been professionally tested for safety. Set up the heater so that there is nothing surounding it such as curtains or furniture that can catch fire. Always turn off the space heater before falling asleep, simply allow it to warm up your room. Because heaters require a lot of electricity, make sure it is plugged into its own outlet and not an extension chord.
Swimming for a Fresh Start
LOCAL SWIMMERS CROSS THE CATALINA CHANNEL FOR CHARITY photos courtesy of Mathias LeBlanc
A
team of seven North County teens, known as Ocean’s Seven, recently crossed the Catalina Channel in a six-person open water relay swim to raise funds for the Carlsbad nonprofit Fresh Start Surgical Gifts (FSSG). The swimmers – Anna Brooker, Heloise Leblanc, Tegan Preston, Mia Ryan, Erin Taggart, Mia Thomas, and Lindsay Turner – train together at North Coast Aquatics (NCA), one of the top-ranked competitive swim teams in Southern California, under the direction of Coach Mickey Murad. The athletes began discussing the project in January of this year after hearing about another team who completed the crossing last year. Inspired by Mia Thomas’ mother, who crossed the channel on a solo swim two years ago, and Heloise Leblanc’s mother, who is a volunteer surgeon for FSSG, the girls decided to dedicate their crossing to the local charity. Though they have been swimming with NCA for years and follow a rigorous training schedule that includes 15 to 20 hours of pool swimming and dry land
training per week, they began training specifically for the crossing by incorporating open water ocean swims into their training earlier this year in the spring. The team finished the relay swim in seven hours, 51 minutes, and 37 seconds, and so far have raised over $18,000 for Fresh Start. Heloise’s father Mathias LeBlanc commented, “The girls are all successful student athletes and are very competitive. But more importantly, they are a group of great friends motivated to give back to the community and help out for a good cause while having fun and doing something out of the ordinary.” ¢

Exceptional Educator
CUSD’S DOUG GREEN NAMED CALIFORNIA TEACHER OF THE YEAR
V
alley Middle School (VMS) and Carlsbad High School (CHS) Broadcast Journalism teacher Doug Green has been named one of five California Teachers of the Year for 2016 after having also been chosen as one of the San Diego County Teachers of the Year. This marks the second year in a row that a Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD) teacher has been named San Diego County Teacher of the Year, out of over 26,000 teachers who work in San Diego County. Doug teaches broadcasting as an elective class at VMS as well as broadcast journalism at CHS. His students learn different roles both in front of and behind the camera, pitch story ideas
to their classmates, and produce shows that are televised for their respective schools and greater communities. CHSTV students, under the leadership and guidance of Doug Green,
have also created three highly acclaimed documentaries such as “We Must Remember,” “One in Seven – The New Face of Hunger,” and “Invisible Threat.” CUSD Superintendent Dr. Suzette Lovely said, “Mr. Green exemplifies the exceptional teachers who are doing their magic in Carlsbad Unified’s classrooms each day. He is a model of the way great teachers become great influencers.” Doug shared, “What thrills me the most about the chance to represent the teaching profession on a statewide basis is that I will be able to share some of the wonderful successes we are having in Carlsbad schools. Teachers across this district are inspiring students in nurturing, engaging, validating learning environments.” ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
What’s Going to Happen in 2016? T
his is the big question since 2015 is quickly coming to an end and 2016 is right around the corner. We have been reading several different forecasts, and it looks like the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and HousingWire both predict that sales volume is expected to rise while price growth will slow down. We agree! According to CAR’s 2016 Market Forecast, existing home sales are expected to rise 6.3 percent over the anticipated 2015 total. It’s the shortage of inventory and continued high costs that will limit the improvement of the market. Leslie Appleton-Young, CAR Vice President and Chief Economist said, “The foundation for California’s housing market remains strong, with moderating home prices, signs of credit easing, and the state continuing to lead the nation in economy and job growth.” We also read that the CAR President Chris Kutzkey said, “Solid job growth and favorable interest rates will drive a strong demand for housing next year.” We can agree with what the experts are saying. We are seeing homes sell during times when it is typically slower and they aren’t selling way over asking price or well below asking price. For the
most part agents are listing homes in the correct price range and they are selling close to that amount. Most sellers are now getting some equity when they sell which has been very exciting. If you are thinking of buying or selling your home contact us right away. Ranked in the top 20 for transactions for all of San Diego Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, we are your first and only call for all of your real estate needs. ¢

Bat Chats
AHLF EDUCATES CARLSBAD WITH NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM SERIES
T
he Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation (AHLF) recently hosted the fifth installment of their Night at the Museum series with their Bat Chats event in late October. The day included a presentation from Cindy Myers with Project Wildlife, who helped to educate the audience on bats, bat safety, and the differences in physical traits between various species. Cindy’s interactive demonstration allowed listeners to gain a better understanding of echolocation, the method by which bats navigate and locate food, with help from crowd participants and a slinky. There was also an appearance from a Mexican free-tailed bat named Delilah who was rescued after having fallen from a palm tree during frond trimming. The bat suffered a fracture to one of her finger bones that Project Wildlife volunteers were unable to set, so she cannot be released back into the wild. Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to
meet Delilah and see a live bat up close. The event also included an appearance from local awardwinning author Janell Cannon which included a live reading of her book Stellaluna, a beloved story about a baby bat separated from her mother and raised alongside a nest full of baby birds. Other highlights included a variety of crafts, games, and snacks. The final Night at the Museum event for the year, Recycled Holiday Crafts, will occur on Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the AHLF Discovery Center. To learn more visit lagoon.aguahedionda.org. ¢
