Guided by Love Molly Brennan Is Inspired to Better the Lives of Others
by LYDIA COBB | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography
M
olly Brennan, a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School, is guided by her love for helping and inspiring others. She recently served as campus minister, and shared, “I was able to actively practice my faith in my school community, which was such an amazing experience for me.” She’s an athlete in several sports, beginning in track her sophomore year. “Just for fun,” added Molly, “but it turned into a competitive varsity sport that I enjoy improving in.” When she’s not hurdling on the track team, she inspires basketball and football fans on the varsity cheer

team. Practicing Irish dance since kindergarten, for example, led her nine years later to the world championships in Ireland. Growing up here, Molly reflected that her family is tight-knit. “I love spending time with them,” she added, “whether it’s riding bikes to the beach, going to a Padres game, or traveling to Europe. I love to experience new cultures and foods with my family, while meeting people with different lifestyles and backgrounds.” She’s seen 10 countries so far. Her brother Danny is at USC, and though close in age, he has always been her role model. And whenever she may feel down, Molly explained that her mom knows how to lift her spirits, and goes “to the ends of the earth” to keep their family happy and healthy. Molly has been involved with the Mitchell Thorp Foundation for five years, a locally based nonprofit that supports families whose children suffer from life-threatening conditions. She works with 27 student board members countywide in the group’s Youth Leadership Council. Together, they cultivate leadership opportunities and community service projects. Molly elaborated, “I feel so honored to have the opportunity to work with such deserving families, and it is so rewarding to see how happy the children are when we present them with the gifts we fundraise for.” She gives back as a volunteer for Vacation Bible School at St. Patrick Catholic Church and serves meals at Father Joe’s Villages. “I love to participate in anything that will better the lives of others,” added Molly. She ponders her future: Notre Dame, USC, or Texas Christian University. But this is senior year – and she’ll be cheering on her teams, both in sports and in her faith-based community endeavors.

Citizens of the Year
LOCAL VOLUNTEERS DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO SERVING OTHERS
L
ongtime Carlsbad volunteers Zona Murray and Phil Urbina have been named Carlsbad Citizens of the Year, an annual award that recognizes community members who have dedicated themselves to improving Carlsbad through outstanding service. Zona and Phil were chosen by a committee of Carlsbad residents and recognized during a ceremony at City Hall in July. Zona has lived in Carlsbad since 1968, when she bought and restored one of the city’s oldest houses. Zona’s volunteer efforts have had a wide reach, with projects and initiatives that have benefited local students in particular. She became involved with Soroptimist International in 1975, through which she initiated a program that gave students in local schools an opportunity to propose solutions for the world’s societal problems. She initiated a program that awards art scholarships to high school students in Carlsbad and Oceanside; she also gives scholarships to seniors at Murray High School, which was named for her late husband,
in partnership
with
Maj. Gen. Raymond Murray. Today she continues to help fund research for post-traumatic stress disorder in his honor. Phil served as the president of the Carlsbad Christmas Bureau Adopt-aFamily Project for 20 years, providing needy families with food and gifts during the holidays. “I’ve always found great joy in helping people,” Phil said. In 1986 he joined the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club, and quickly became involved in the club’s annual Oktoberfest charity fundraiser, serving as the event co-chair since 2013. Phil has been active in a number of other groups over the years as well, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad, La Costa Youth Organization, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, and Knights of Columbus. For more than 40 years, the Citizen of the Year program has honored community members who have given their time and energy toward the civic improvement, beautification, and betterment of the City of Carlsbad.

ith three children, the Blechschmidts are embedded in schools, sports, and in their careers in law and therapy. They’re all Carlsbad and loving every minute. “The best part is that our children are growing up in a community that cares about community, the environment, and local sports,” shared Alicia Blechschmidt. Bart and Alicia met when they worked for a group home for developmentally disabled adults the summer they both finished Parents: Children: Community: Hometowns: Profession: Favorite Places in Carlsbad:
graduate school. Alicia has a practice as a part-time mental health therapist serving children and families. Bart has practiced real estate and business litigation law for 23 years and enjoys providing service to his clients, including small real estate investors, large banks, and Fortune 500 companies. Bart’s law firm moved here seven years ago because they wanted their kids to attend Carlsbad schools. Sierra is their emerging teen, and an honor roll student active in student council. Alicia mentioned, “She

also loves babysitting and reading.” Sierra shares a passion for competitive dance in many styles with her 11-year-old sister Maddy through Evoke Dance Movement. “Maddy loves to swim and be at the beach,” added Alicia, “and Kyle is a sports fanatic.” He’s an eight-year-old on the move: playing travel baseball for North County Stingers 8U, soccer with LA Galaxy SD, and recreational basketball. Bart has coached their kids’ teams and became more involved with Carlsbad Youth Baseball this year. “We cherish our time at Chase Field and the feeling of family we get within the CYB organization,” reflected Alicia. Alicia chairs the biannual book fair at Calavera Hills Elementary. This is her first year as volunteer coordinator for the PTA. She’s also team mom for the kids’ sports teams, and helps out in school activities. Bart is board treasurer and on leadership committees for the Carlsbad Educational Foundation, which provides music, science, and innovation opportunities for the 11,000 kids in schools. “We are very close to our goal of contributing one million dollars this year,” stated Bart. Generating support for causes is what they do, kids included. “They have lemonade stands each summer,” shared Alicia, “and donate the money they earn to the Carlsbad Animal Shelter.” They enjoy local theater and Chargers and Padres games. “We spend most of our free time at the beach,” added Alicia, “and play basketball and tennis as a family.” They’re immersed in the culture of community spirit, sandcastle-building included.

Why your child should be seen at age 7 by an Orthodontist Very often people think that orthodontics is only about straight teeth and great smiles. While that is very true, seeing children at age 7–9 can prevent or eliminate significant medical problems such as a restricted airway. These conditions cause the lower jaw to grow downward which then causes an "open bite." This condition is exhibited when the front teeth do not meet. How can you tell when there is an airway problem? Below is a list of symptoms and signs: • • • • • • • • • • •
Chronic open mouth position Gummy smile Swollen gums Chronic dark circles under the eyes A crease on the nose (about 1/3 of the way up from the tip) "Pouting" lower lip Short upper lip Narrow "V" shaped upper jaw Upper teeth in "bucked" position Chronic chapped or cracked lips Excessive snoring (caused by a small airway)
This lack of airway can lead to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) even in young children.

Beach Bocce Ball Championship
Over 1,000 people attended Vigilucci’s Beach Bocce Ball Championship XXXVI, produced by the North County Athletic Association, at Del Mar’s Dog Beach in July. The all-day event included food, drinks, friends, and, of course, lots of beach bocce ball. The popular tournament sold out in under an hour when tickets were made available in the spring, bringing 411 teams (many of which arrived in fun costumes) playing 999 games on 81 courts. This year’s event raised over $100,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad, and has raised a total of over $1 million since its inception. “Even though competition is stiff, laughter is abundant,” said Tournament Co-founder John Manson. “The event has become multigenerational and wildly popular. We attract a great crowd who always has a great time.” The tournament is open to all players, both seasoned and novice alike, with men’s, women’s, and mixed divisions offered.

Local Wins California-Friendly Landscape Contest City of Carlsbad resident Claudia Kuepper has been honored as a winner of the annual California-Friendly Landscape Contest, which recognizes San Diegans who achieve water conservation through water-efficient landscaping. Claudia, a professional landscape designer who specializes in water-wise gardens, was recognized after she installed a water-saving landscape design to her yard that reduced her water bill by 50 percent. She replaced all of her yard’s turf grass with plants suitable for a semi-arid climate, converted most of the yard’s irrigation to a drip system, and installed four 50-gallon barrels to catch rainwater for later use. The California-Friendly Landscape Contest is held annually by water agencies in San Diego County to showcase attractive landscapes that use less water than conventional turf-heavy ones. Contest entries were judged on curb appeal, landscape and irrigation design, and environmental considerations. The Carlsbad Municipal Water District, a subsidiary of the City of Carlsbad, serves about 85 percent of the city. For more information visit www.carlsbadca.gov.

I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) will lead the 32nd Annual Coastal Cleanup Day as part of the International Coastal Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The community is invited to participate locally by choosing from 108 sites where more than 8,000 San Diegobased volunteers will work alongside a half million volunteers worldwide. Although the name suggests that it is a beach cleanup, nearly 75 percent of the cleanup sites are actually located inland along rivers, creeks, canyons, and urban areas, where 80 percent of marine debris starts. While litter removal is a large focus of the event, volunteers will also participate in beautification projects such as graffiti removal and replacing invasive species with drought-tolerant landscaping. ILACSD is San Diego’s most influential advocate for sustainability, awakening passion, and inspiring action to create a lasting, positive impact on the local environment.

MAKING
MATH MAKE SENSE Catch Up, Keep Up, and Get Ahead in Math at Mathnasium by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
F
or many students, math can be confusing and intimidating. For others, math can come easily and advancement may be desired. Mathnasium, a math learning center, now has two Carlsbad locations. Its La Costa center is located in the beautiful La Costa Town Square and its newest center, which opened in September, is by Sprouts on El Camino Real. Both locations cater to students of all learning levels in grades 1 through 12. With the mantra “We Make Math Make Sense,” Mathnasium specializes in teaching math to kids in a way that makes it understandable to them. “Our goal is to get kids to not only do the ‘how,’ but get the ‘why,’” said Owner and Director Karen Lossing. “If easier problems make sense, the harder ones become less hard. When you build on a solid foundation, you set yourself up for future success.”
So what exactly sets Mathnasium apart from other tutoring services? “At Mathnasium we focus on math only,” explained Lossing. “We custom-tailor a program to each student so they are focused on the skills they can
24 • 0810 MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2016
build from. Our depth of resources allows us to move backward or forward within concepts to meet the student where he/ she performs successfully and move him/ her forward from there. Because of our amazing system we can find the lessons that perfectly align with a student whether they are seeking enrichment or struggle in class.” The energy at Mathnasium is positive, with a diverse staff including engineers, statisticians, college students, and math educators. “They do a great job of connecting what a student is learning to the real world,” Lossing said of her staff. “Our instructors are clear communicators and friendly people. Between their approachability, knowledge base, and a focused learning plan identifying skills to master, the kids are more engaged because every lesson is relevant.” SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT
While the room is filled with students of all abilities, Mathnasium offers three main methods to spotlight areas holding back a student’s success, which have proven to be life changing for many kids: Numeric Fluency, AlgebraReadiness, and High School Essentials. “Numeric Fluency has worked wonders with upper elementary students who weren’t fluent with calculating basic addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts,” said Lossing. “A huge burden is lifted for those kids and they can move on to more challenging problem solving.” In math, one concept tends to spill over to others, or problem solving begins to bundle multiple skills at a time. Mathnasium believes that building a strong mathematical toolbox complete with critical thinking is essential to success. Algebra-Readiness is a program developed for elementary and middle school students in anticipation of increasing proficiency
AT-A-GLANCE
in skills needed for success in high school courses beginning with algebra. “Not being algebra-ready can set a brutal math path for a student’s secondary education, so I am especially proud of preparing those kids for their future,” shared Lossing. Mathnasium also has an emphasis on providing targeted support for busy high schoolers. “While we focus on specific courses, such as Integrated Math or Algebra
2, there are foundational skills that many teenagers lack. Our High School Skills Assessment allows us to streamline instruction on many gap skills that cost students better grades. These critical skills spill over from course to course but can be roadblocks to many if not mastered,” said Lossing. Mathnasium also budgets time for schoolwork, allowing students to get help with homework or preparation for upcoming tests and quizzes. The center offers a risk-free assessment to interested students. “Students and parents can see the current level of mastery across concepts relative to a student’s grade level,” stated Lossing. “From there we build a customized learning plan that addresses any gaps initially, then move on toward advanced concepts. We set realistic expectations with the parents when discussing the assessment and give the kids their first lesson free.” ¢

Newly Renovated Carlsbad City Libraries Provide a Place to Learn, Grow, and Thrive photos by Samuel Wells and Samantha Gleaton Photography
Carlsbad’s first library opened in 1967, providing the community with a special place to gather and read. Now, nearly 50 years later, there are three Carlsbad City Libraries that offer much more than just books. Two of these facilities were recently renovated and reopened, expanding the library’s scope of impact by meeting the ever-changing needs of the community in today’s digital age. Despite these changes, however, the library’s primary goal remains the same: to create learning opportunities for people of all ages through its wide variety of programs and services. Read along as we talk with City of Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts Department Director Heather Pizzuto about how Carlsbad’s libraries continue to foster a resourceful and resilient community.

C O V E R F E AT U R E HOW MANY LIBRARIES ARE IN CARLSBAD? WHICH SPECIFIC AREAS DOES EACH LIBRARY SERVE?
Q&A with City of Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts Department Director
Heather Pizzuto
There are three libraries in the City of Carlsbad: Georgina Cole Library in Northern Carlsbad, Carlsbad City Library on Dove Ln. in Southern Carlsbad, and the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center in Northern Carlsbad. Collectively, the libraries serve 65,000 visitors of all ages each month. Every year, 1.3 million books, DVDs, and other materials circulate in and out of Carlsbad libraries. Thanks to research we’ve conducted, we know that about 85 percent of city residents visit the library either in person or online every year, and 57 percent use library services on a monthly basis. All these numbers speak to the value of our library system here in Carlsbad.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT ROLE AT THE LIBRARY? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
28 • 0810 MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2016
I am the Library & Cultural Arts Department director. In this role, I lead a talented team of 220 full and part-time staff to provide high-quality library and cultural arts programs which support an excellent quality of life and educational opportunities for the community. What I most enjoy about my job is working on projects that are innovative and provide the best service to our community. Using the recent remodel project as an example, we had an opportunity there to look at our key mission and the future of libraries. We started out talking about simply refreshing paint and adding new carpet. But before moving forward with improvements, we felt it was a good opportunity to discuss the nature of information delivery and how technology has changed libraries. This broadened the scope of the project, but in the end left us better equipped to serve the community given the everchanging trends in technology.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARIES. WHICH WAS THE FIRST LOCATION, AND HOW HAVE THE LOCATIONS CHANGED OR EVOLVED OVER TIME? The Cole Library was the first city library constructed in Carlsbad and it opened in November 1967. It is named after Georgina Cole, the library’s first director. Dove Library opened in 1999, and the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center opened in 2008. All of our libraries have evolved in many ways, mostly in the area of technology. In the early 2000s, there was a shift toward providing new digital resources and technology while still maintaining the more traditional services. The Cole Library was renovated in 2000 to update the interior and add dedicated space for our nationally renowned genealogy collection as well as the Carlsbad history room. TELL US MORE ABOUT THE RECENT RENOVATIONS THAT WERE COMPLETED ON THE CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARIES THIS YEAR. WHAT SORT OF NEW AMENITIES SHOULD THE COMMUNITY BE AWARE OF? The Georgina Cole Library and the Carlsbad City Library on Dove Ln. were both recently modernized to meet the changing needs of the community in today’s digital age. The Cole Library reopened on Feb. 27 and the Dove Library reopened on June 25. We knew that investing in our libraries today meant they would be relevant and well used for years to come. Both of the libraries’ improvements include: • Additional community gathering spaces • Enhanced technology and Wi-Fi connectivity • New carpet and paint • New Friends of the Library bookstores • Dedicated spaces for teens • Improved service and access to information • Collaborative study/meeting rooms with enhanced technology, available for reservations Cole Library improvements include: • Central service desk • Fire sprinkler system • Energy efficient lighting • New elevator Dove Library improvements include: • Revitalized courtyard and new patio • Expanded café with additional food and drink options (coming soon!)

C O V E R F E AT U R E • A new tech lab called the Exploration HUB that includes a versatile learning center with cutting edge technology • Upgrades to the Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium to improve access for disabled patrons, improve visibility to the stage, and upgrade the auditorium’s video production and other audio-visual equipment to digital technology Every aspect of the improvements at both Dove and Cole is a result of intentional community engagement. Before we started designing these projects, we reached out to our residents to learn more about what they wanted. The results of that feedback were used to guide and prioritize the improvements. The improvements all reflect community input that we gathered through surveys, design workshops, and public meetings, along with trends in library usage including greater use of technology, comfortable seating, and more spaces for collaboration.
WHAT SETS THE CARLSBAD LIBRARY APART FROM OTHER SAN DIEGO PUBLIC LIBRARIES? We have some wonderful public libraries in the region that we partner with on a regular basis, for example, pooling our resources to purchase materials together. But the range of programs offered at the Carlsbad libraries truly sets us apart from others. In any given month, you can experience our wildly popular programs for children and teens like Toddler Storytime and Teen Pizza & a Movie, or you can learn to read, research your family history, take in a concert from a well-known musician at the Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium, and view the artwork of a world-renowned artist at the Cannon Art Gallery. PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT THE TYPES OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES YOU OFFER AND THE AGE RANGES THEY SERVE. The library offers a wide variety of programs and services for many different audiences. All of our programs center on creating opportunities for learning for all ages.

The library is funded through the City of Carlsbad, the State of California’s Literacy Program, grants and donations from Friends of the Library and the Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation, and endowments. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOUR STAFF AND WHAT THEY BRING TO THE LIBRARY. Our staff is a critical connection to the community that we serve. They are truly at the center of community learning for all ages and care about providing our residents with the best possible service. Many have specialized knowledge and experience to help patrons find just the right information, teach, create great experiences, and guide people to new discoveries. Our staff is dedicated to fostering a resourceful, resilient, and prospering community.

IS THE LIBRARY IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS? IF SO, HOW WOULD ONE GET INVOLVED?
“I like the summer reading program. It is a great volunteer opportunity which encourages young people to read.” – Addison D.
We are always looking for volunteers. Whether it’s helping students with homework or delivering books to those who can’t get to the library, volunteers play an integral role in making our libraries a great place to learn, read, and connect with others. There are many ways to give back to the community through volunteering with our children and teen programs, special events, literacy programs, Homebound program, Friends of the Library bookstores and Friends of the Arts, and Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation. More information about volunteer opportunities is available on our website. HOW DOES THE LIBRARY STAY CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY? There are several important ways we stay connected to our community. One way we stay connected to the community is through consistent communications about our programs and services. We want to ensure that our patrons are aware of the programs and services we provide, and have committed to providing them with this information on a regular basis. We also connect with the community by seeking and listening to their feedback. Every two years, we conduct surveys that identify opportunities to better serve our community. Along those lines, if there is a service needed, we work to provide it for our
patrons. Additionally, where feasible, we seek input from the community on any big projects, like the library renovations, to make sure we are making decisions that are in alignment with our patrons. Our staff also frequently attends events in the community including the farmers market and other events hosted by the City. IF YOU COULD GRANT THE LIBRARY ONE WISH, WHAT WOULD IT BE? My wish would be that every resident in Carlsbad discover what’s new at the libraries and all the great programs and services that are available in their backyard.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MEMORY FROM YOUR TIME WORKING AT THE LIBRARY? My favorite memories were the reopening ceremonies of Cole and Dove libraries. It was such a proud moment for the city, the library, cultural arts team, and the community. It took a tremendous amount of teamwork and patience from the community to get there, but I hope it was worth the wait. We heard so much positive feedback from the community about the improvements and the event. One woman told our staff that her face hurt from smiling so much, because it was such a happy day.
WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART ABOUT WORKING AT THE CARLSBAD LIBRARY? The most rewarding part about this job is seeing our mission to create lifelong learners in action every day. It’s quite amazing to see young readers who have visited us since they were babies now participating in our Summer Reading Program, then eventually moving on to our teen programs. We see this same pattern with those enjoying our adult programs, returning season after season to enjoy our day-to-day services and special events. I feel so grateful to be part of that and know that we’re creating a place for the community to gather, meet, and do life together.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LIBRARY ADDS TO THE COMMUNITY OF CARLSBAD? We have a real opportunity in Carlsbad to help people of all ages continue learning and growing each and every day. Our programs contribute to the creation of a successful community, one that is resourceful and resilient. IF YOU HAD TO DESCRIBE THE LIBRARY IN FIVE WORDS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Community, learning, engaging, evolving, leadership. ¢

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
Caring for Carlsbad Maureen Simons Helps to Keep Carlsbad Great by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography
M
aureen Simons has lived in Carlsbad for over 16 years. “My husband and I moved to Carlsbad for his work and he became very involved in the community,” recalled Maureen. “When he passed away five years ago, I wanted to keep his legacy alive and I immersed myself in many of the organizations he was involved with.” Today, Maureen – the proud mother to seven children and grandmother to 15 grandchildren – is doing more than simply keeping her husband’s legacy alive; she is also doing her part to keep Carlsbad thriving. Some of the programs she is involved with include: the Funeral Ministry at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club, and the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which helps serve families with children battling life-threatening illnesses. “I have also been a member of the Assistance League of North Coast for the past 15 years,” added Maureen. “One of my passions is working on the Chapters for Children, where seven chapters of the Assistance League come together for a weekend to help clothe the children of enlisted servicemen and women of Camp Pendleton.”

Most recently, Maureen has been busy in her role as board president for the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring the public through education and outreach and to preserve the Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. “I was introduced to the Lagoon Foundation by Lisa Rodman,” remembered Maureen. “I was so impressed by the work they do for the community, specifically with the schools educating them on the environment and history of the lagoon, that I wanted to help.” In her position as board president, Maureen conducts monthly meetings, works on fundraising efforts, and helps with community outreach. “If I could grant the Foundation one wish, it would be a grant to build education nodes in the parking area to protect the students while they are attending our educational programs,” shared Maureen, who added that the Foundation is always looking for volunteers. “The only skill necessary (for volunteering) is the willingness to help!” she exclaimed. In her downtime, Maureen enjoys playing card games and socializing with friends. But her passion truly lies in giving back to her community. “One thing I hold very near and dear to my heart is the L. John Simons Twin Inn Gazebo located in Magee Park, which was named after my husband shortly after his passing,” shared Maureen. “He and the Hi-Noon Rotary worked very hard to restore this Carlsbad Landmark, which now bears his name. It’s a constant reminder for me of his efforts to make Carlsbad the great city that it is!” 32 • 0810 MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2016

Fired Up Spartan Race Athlete Kevin Gillotti Is Always Up for a Challenge by LINDA FRABL | photos by Samantha Gleaton Photography
C
arlsbad resident Kevin Gillotti, 46, started racing – namely duathlons (running and biking) and obstacle course races (OCRs) – because of a bet that a University of Iowa college pal presented to him 25 years ago. Kevin recalled, “It was a bet that I couldn’t do a duathlon. Who would have known it would have changed my life and stuck with me this long?” Kevin has won most of the North County-based duathlon races for the past 20 years. In addition, he has raced with about a dozen different USA Triathlon World Championship Teams, specifically for duathlons, all over the world. Two years ago, Kevin was even named the fifth fastest American overall for Team USA’s long distance standard course 2014 in Spain! After racing the Duathlon World Championships in France and Spain, Kevin knew it was time to move on to something new, so he now focuses on OCRs in the Spartan Race series. He is already ranked 12th overall in the Elite NBC Series, second overall in the USA Elite Division and the West Region Division for his age, and fourth overall in the world Elite division for his age. In October, Kevin will compete in both the USA OCR World Championships in Lake Tahoe, and the Pro-Elite division of the OCR World Championship in Canada. Determination is responsible for Kevin’s success, which came into play after he was hit by a vehicle in 2001 and suffered a broken leg, a broken arm, and back fractures. Doctors thought he wouldn’t race again, but Kevin barreled through his rehabilitation and proved them wrong. He commented, “I have always had a fire inside to push myself.” With a master's degree in physical education focusing on sports psychology from SDSU, Kevin works as a graphic designer, and enjoys target practice (shooting and archery), tinkering on his Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, and trying new things. Of the latter, Kevin professed, “I do not want to be a one trick pony, so I try to learn new skills and be prolific in activities.” Asked to share words of wisdom, Kevin stated, “Get outside, be active, be fit, and take care of your body as it is the only one you have. See the world, as it is an awesome place. Before your ticket gets punched, you want to make sure you’ve lived a life that counts!”

Making an Impact
CARLSBAD RESIDENTS CHOSEN AS HONORARY CHAIRS FOR BGCC GALA photo provided by Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad
L
ongtime Carlsbad residents and volunteers Maribeth and Mike Maher have been named Honorary Chairs of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad’s (BGCC) 34th Annual Black & White Masquerade Gala. Mike joined the BGCC’s board of directors in 2013. “I had been to several of the club’s fundraising events, and really liked what I saw. I was somewhat taken aback by the level of commitment and devotion exhibited by the board and the club’s CEO Brad Holland,” Mike said. “And it meant a lot to Maribeth because we could make a difference in our community.” In addition to their activities with the Boys & Girls Clubs, Mike and Maribeth have given countless hours and donations to other local nonprofits, including the USD golf program, the Catholic Diocese of San Diego, Solana Beach Chamber Board of Directors, St. Vincent de Paul, and the La Costa Youth Organization. “It’s satisfying to know we’ve had an impact on the kids in our community,” said Maribeth. Gala Co-Chairs Barbi Nelson and Viola Wheelihan added, “We are so pleased to honor this couple who have given so much to the club and the youth of Carlsbad. This recognition is long overdue, and is well-deserved!” The Black & White Masquerade Gala will take place at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa on Saturday, Sept. 24. Many business and community leaders are expected to attend the event, complete with gourmet food, lively entertainment, as well as silent, platinum, and live auctions. All proceeds from the event will benefit the programs at the BGCC. For more information contact Pat Maldi at pat@bgccarlsbad.org or visit www.bgccarlsbad.org. ¢

A CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION Be Part of the Pride by Celebrating the San Diego Zoo's 100th Year by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
W
aterfalls cascading over rocks into pools below, the sun peeking through thick foliage, faint sounds of birds chirping and monkeys laughing in the distance... It's easy to forget for a moment that you're not actually strolling through the jungle! And that is the beauty of the worldfamous San Diego Zoo: it connects people closely with animals in the most natural way possible. The San Diego Zoo, operated by San Diego Zoo Global, has been a pioneer in the zoological sphere since its inception in 1916, from being among the first in the world to build innovative open-air grotto exhibits to making key contributions to medical research, natural science, and wildlife conservation. This year the zoo celebrates its centennial anniversary – 100 years of trials and triumphs, fun memories, and, of course, lots of fascinating animals! With over 3,500 rare and endangered animals, more than 650 species and subspecies, and over 700,000 exotic plants living on the 100-acre property, the zoo is dedicated to preserving wildlife as one of the world's leading global conservation organizations. Some have even referred to the zoo as a living outdoor classroom, educating children and adults alike about the natural world. So for the remainder of the year, join us in celebrating the extraordinary people and animals who have made this beloved San Diego icon what it is today.

Earning Gold
LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY
C
arlsbad residents Proma Dewanjee, Alexis Durant, Sophia Ilas, Avalon Johnson, Hannah Lange, Madison Ma, Katherine Monko, Elyse O’Neill, and Miya Scheble have earned Girl Scout Gold Awards for their outstanding leadership and commitment to taking action in their community. The Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; just five percent of Girl Scouts nationwide achieve this distinction. The Carlsbad girls are nine of 32 Girl Scouts in San Diego who earned the award this year. Each of the girls’ projects were unique. Proma provided music education and therapy for Indian women and children affected by disabilities, poverty, the sex trade, and mental illness. Alexis facilitated open mic nights for teenagers and adults with special needs at the Hill Street Café. Sophia created an interactive sensory garden and related curriculum geared toward
students with special needs. Avalon led surf camps, teaching participants about beach safety and environmental responsibility. Hannah taught third-graders about the current drought, then helped them convert a 1,300-square-foot plot of grass into a droughtresistant succulent garden kept up by the school’s rain watering system. Madison gave students of diverse backgrounds and ages the opportunity to use an exciting new technology: a Bluetooth-controllable robotic ball called a Sphero. Katherine, realizing that her school’s online health class wasn’t meeting student needs, surveyed her classmates and brought in a variety of experts to answer their questions. Elyse started a speech and debate program to help middle school students enhance their self-confidence. Finally, Miya started a Special Olympics program to bring together able-bodied students and those with disabilities. Girl Scouts San Diego provides activities for nearly 40,000 girl and adult members, with program and service facilities in Balboa Park, Carlsbad, and Escondido. Learn more at www.sdgirlscouts.org. ¢

Community and Schools Matter to Buyers W
ith our summer coming to an end and schools starting around the county it has us wondering: How important are schools and the community involvement when looking to purchase a home? According to CAR, 78% of potential home buyers who plan to buy within the next five years care about the community they plan to become a part of. Once they become part of the community they plan to do more to help the community. There is a vested interest. Also, 76% of current home owners feel a deeper sense of community where they are currently living. So, community matters! When it comes to schools, more than 75% of parents say their child’s education is an important part of the search for a home. And 53% of those buyers will buy a new home in a specific neighborhood to get their child into a better school, according to CAR. It also looks as though the ranking of the school is more important than the proximity to the school. More than 25% of those parents will make the move during the school breaks. We would suggest that potential buyers do their homework before deciding where they want to live. Check

hen it comes to repairing a roof or installing a brand-new one, homeowners that hire Top Line Roofing can feel confident they are receiving an honest estimate and professional, courteous service. “Top Line Roofing works with customers to discover their true needs, to educate them on the roofing issues they face, and to present them with options that work best for their budget and their needs,” stated Wayne Sorenson, owner of Top Line Roofing. He’s proud to report that much of his business comes from the referrals of satisfied customers. Currently celebrating 25 years of business, Top Line Roofing is dedicated to serving the community’s long-term needs. When Wayne first opened the business, his primary focus was on roof repairs. Since that time, Top Line has expanded into the re-roofing realm, applying lessons learned from the repair side of the business. “Fifty percent of Top Line’s work involves repairs that correct the mistakes of other roofers. We have learned how to install roofs correctly the first time and avoid these mistakes,” said Wayne. Top Line provides free estimates, and Wayne encourages homeowners to have their roofs evaluated every 18 to 24 months to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Another way Top Line sets itself apart

from the competition is through its use of the latest technology. Wayne’s truck is equipped with a computer and printer, and in most cases a typed estimate can be provided onsite. “We also use satellite technology to aid in measuring the size, area, and pitch of a roof,” explained Wayne. According to Wayne, Top Line has earned a reputation for being quick, clean, and professional. “Our employees have spent years in the roofing industry, are well-trained in all types of roofing, and are able to analyze and assess the needs of our clients. We also continue to educate our roofing professionals on the newest materials and techniques, as well as safety procedures,” said Wayne. Employees train and review every week, he explained. “We review current jobs and discuss concerns, what happened, and how things can be improved, so all our crews are in unison and we can provide the same service throughout all of our jobs.” Top Line Roofing’s safety training and equipment surpasses OSHA requirements. Top Line is also a member of the San Diego Roofing Contractors Association (SDRCA), and over the years, Wayne has served as president, treasurer, and chairman of the Roof Education committee and the Build-a-Roof committee, the charitable arm of the organization. ¢

FITMONKEYS
CLIENT PROFILE: Emily Brelsford Emily Brelsford, like many of you reading this, has struggled with periodic back pain. Emily, being highly knowledgeable about the body as a Massage Therapist and owner of Revive Therapeutic Massage in Carlsbad, knew she needed to add private pilates/personal training to her fitness routine. Emily decided to train with Kelly, co-owner of FIT Monkeys in Carlsbad, because of Kelly’s knowledge and experience with human anatomy and movement.
Emily Brelsford Occupation: Massage Therapist and Business Owner Fitness Goals: reduce back pain, increase overall strength and improve alignment. Upon initial assessment Kelly identified Emily’s “locked-long” and “locked-short” muscles, which were contributing to her pelvis, her low back, and her shoulder girdle being out of neutral alignment. Kelly customized a fitness routine for Emily, which addressed these specific strengths and weaknesses. Since training with Kelly, Emily feels stronger, experiences less back pain, and moves through life in better alignment. Emily also enjoys the one-on-one attention she receives from Kelly and appreciates the warm clean environment provided at FIT Monkeys.
“
I have been working with Kelly now for a few months and feel
amazing! Before now I was always pulling out my back and having
other pain related issues. Kelly evaluated my alignment was able to target my weak muscles and designed workouts specifically to my needs. She is awesome and the top of her trade. She is very observant and knowledgeable giving her an advantage in this line of work.” Emily Brelsford
