FROM THE PUBLISHER

Social (Sometimes) Media

n 2008, my wife and I finally jumped onto the social media bandwagon and opened Facebook accounts. To be honest, we were obsessed at first. We spent weeks connecting with long-lost friends and setting up our own online lives. It was fun and strange at the same time. We had walked through the doors of the digital social world. But fast-forward nearly a decade, and I’m getting concerned about how some people are treating other people on social media platforms. I am often astounded at the level of rudeness, bullying, racism, and other ill-mannered behavior I regularly witness. It’s becoming more and more difficult to find public postings without a string of comments from people bashing each other. We’ve all heard stories of children being bullied online, and I’m sure we all disavow that type of behavior. So why stop there? I have watched friends, family, and strangers post the craziest comments on social media – things most people would never say in person. This is appalling to me. What are we teaching our kids? Where did it go so wrong? How could a video posting of a high school kid’s amazing touchdown turn into hundreds of racially charged, insulting comments? Have people forgotten basic human decency? Do we no longer care about how people treat each other? How can someone understand the appropriate way to act face-to-face, but then get behind a keyboard and descend into hateful bullying? Don’t get me wrong. I’m an avid supporter of the freedom of speech, but freedom of speech is not freedom from social consequences. When I see people saying some of the hateful and slanderous things that they are saying, it makes me think. Sure, it’s easier to look the other way, but let me ask you a simple question. Would you continue to be friends and regularly hang out with someone that has no problem making Derrick Breaux racially charged or rude comments to people out in public? If Publisher your answer is no, then why are you still friends with them on Facebook? Perhaps it’s time for us all to do some housekeeping on our social media accounts. It’s painless and easy. And there’s a good chance those obnoxious friends won’t even realize you unfriended them. Gotta go! I see a great selfie opportunity about to happen. Thanks for being a part of 08/10 Magazine!

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

t first, some people were a little confused when a repurposed rowboat with books, DVDs, and board games popped up at a home on Chestnut Ave. Welcome to the Starboard Community Library. Mike McDonald is “head librarian” and this is his vision of giving back to the town he’s loved since first surfing here in 1978. “I put up a sign to explain that it is okay to take whatever they want, whenever they want,” said Mike. “I put a light on that shines 24/7.” Giving and swapping reading material is nothing new to Mike. He had dreamed of something like this as a kid. “It takes me a long time to read a book because of my dyslexia,” shared Mike. “My library fines were such that it was worth purchasing online and at thrift stores.” He also lives in a 300-square-foot home that he purchased in the village in 1996. Space is limited, but his desire to read is extended with this new give-and-take library. Mike bought an old rowboat for a hundred dollars. He disassembled it for sanding and lacquering, and put it back together, complete with salvaged shelving from found furniture. “I like to repurpose,” said Mike. “It’s a hippy thing and from growing up with very little money.” He grew up in Mission/Ocean and Pacific Beach areas, he put it, “as part of the latch-key kid majority.” In elementary school Mike would sneak off to ride his red Schwinn one-speed bicycle downtown for books. Later, he got a degree in economics from SDSU and worked in HR and project management in the high-tech industry, and eventually to his own consulting company supporting the staffing for sought-after engineers. Now retired, Mike is expanding a bed and breakfast and is building a winery-brewery history tour using his five vintage VW buses. He is socially adopted, he mentioned, “by people who are my grandparents’ age, and who I love and care for very much.” Mike’s house has solar panels, rainwater capture, and he composts and grows fruits and vegetables. He added, “I love sitting in a rocking chair, feeling the warmth from the fire pit on my feet and relaxing with a good book.” Mike invites donations and visitors. There are no overdue fines here. Starboard Community Library uniquely provides community stoke, book by book. 

Carlsbad Student Jessi Derby Finds Her Motivation in Family, Friends, and Future by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

“

arlsbad has always been my home,” shared student star Jessi Derby. “I was born and raised here.” Her mother is a Carlsbad native as well, and her grandparents have lived in the same house for the past 50 years. “I feel that as I grow so does Carlsbad,” she continued. “It’s been cool to see how our small town has gotten bigger but still has that small town feeling.” Giving back to her community is key for Jessi, so during softball season and in the summer she helps her coach run camps for younger players. She’s also a member of Teen Korps, a volunteer club from Carlsbad High School (CHS) which helps local shelters and centers. A third year returner to the CHS

varsity softball team, she started playing the sport when she was only five years old. She became aware early on of the possibility for injury in sports. Because she’s had injuries which required physical therapy, by the time she was 13 she had decided on PT as her future career. "I know what it’s like to be hurting and feel that something wasn’t right,” Jessi noted, “so I want to help others live pain-free lives.” Her own experience with PT right now is motivation, “especially in these past two years I have gone to a physical therapist whose dedication to fixing her patients really inspired me.” She’s interning with Fit Monkeys, which she discovered through 08/10 Magazine! She is enjoying the internship because she gets to see firsthand interaction with clients. “As an intern I observe Kelly and Denise with their clients and I ask questions on my observations, based off each person’s individual goals.” Jessi’s parents are her biggest influence, pushing her to try her hardest because they know what she is capable of accomplishing. “They have always tried to give me more than what they had growing up.” Her older sister Jami has also had a great influence on her as she’s grown, and since she’s always wanted to be just like her big sister, now that she is older she’s hoping to make Jami proud of her as well. “My entire family has always believed in my dreams,” Jessi shared, “so knowing that they always have my back keeps me going.” Finding her motivation in family, friends, and future, Jessi Derby is an inspiration to her beloved Carlsbad community. 

KLF RAISES $120,000 FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE photos by Paul Luna Photography

arlsbad nonprofit Kathy’s Legacy Foundation (KLF) held the 2016 Inspiring Dreams Gala at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa in early October to raise awareness of domestic abuse. The gala spotlighted the challenges children face living in an abusive home and funded specific dreams of children living in shelters, including trips to Disneyland, bungee jumping, and soccer lessons. Deputy District Attorney Tracy Prior was honored with the 2016 Inspiring Dreams Award for her lifetime commitment of assisting victims of domestic abuse. The gala also featured a panel of speakers, live music by the Fabulous Ultratones, and live and silent auctions with items such as a surfboard personally designed by Rob Machado, a

or the Szalkiewicz family, their quiet local life is complemented by global adventures. The family savors the Carlsbad beaches as much as climbing the highest summits and providing humanitarian aid across the world. Parents Kym and Joe moved to Carlsbad in 1996. Kym, who grew up in Carlsbad, serves as the event coordinator for the Carlsbad Educational Foundation. Joe, an Escondido native, is the owner and CEO of YellowLine Digital, a social media management company. The family adventures began in 2008, when their son Joey, 10 years old at the time, wanted to climb Mt. Whitney. Joe tried to talk his son out of the idea, but Joey was committed.

They summited Mt. Whitney that year, and Joey’s bigger dream was born – climbing the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. To date, the father-son team have completed four of the summits. Brittany joined the climb in Kilimanjaro, becoming the youngest female (age 10) to summit the mountain at that time. In conjunction with their climbs, the family has started Share the View, a nonprofit providing eyeglasses for people in the surrounding mountain villages. “Joey’s favorite part of the climb was the view and he couldn’t enjoy those views if his glasses were not available to him,” Kym explained. Now every summit effort is matched by the effort to raise funds and coordinate aid. “We work with Vision Spring, a company that makes frames and lenses that helps us organize an optometrist,” Kym said. “Then we help in the village with the exams and getting the word out to those in need of glasses. In Argentina, we had buses that brought in hundreds of people from outlying villages.” Share the View has provided over 6,500 pairs of eyeglasses. Today, Joey attends UC Santa Barbara. He is an avid hiker and mountaineer who also loves to fish and surf. Brittany, two years younger, competes in equestrian competitions. She loves to sing, play volleyball, and go to the beach with friends. When they are not mountaineering or volunteering, the Szalkiewicz family leads a quieter life around Carlsbad, including Sunday mass at St. Patrick’s Church and having friends over to the house. “We love living in Carlsbad and all that it has to offer. We love the beach, whether going in the water or walking along the seawall or taking electric bikes down the coast for breakfast,” Kym shared. 

KIDS FOR PEACE HELPS OPEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN KENYA

ith about 30 volunteers ranging from nine-yearold children to retired school teachers, Carlsbad-based organization Kids for Peace helped open an elementary school in the remote village of Mikei, Kenya. Before Kids for Peace was involved, most children in Mikei were not able to attend school. The existing school was usually a makeshift structure that would often change locations each year, with few supplies and inconsistent learning. The group had already raised money for the building materials and labor so that when they arrived the building was complete. They brought one ton of supplies to fill the classrooms, including books, puzzles, art materials, sports equipment, games, dolls, blocks, and notebooks. They painted murals, built a playground, planted fruit trees, hung pictures, and stocked the classrooms and library with the supplies they had brought. They also hired four teachers and other staff to upkeep the facility. The new school is now in a permanent location with desks and plenty of supplies to support up to 200 students. “The

most rewarding part of the trip was meeting all the kids in Mikei, getting to know them and their families, and learning about the Kenyan culture,” said Kids for Peace volunteer Shawdi Amini. “The people of Mikei were very kind and led a peaceful life. They didn’t have much but always wore a big smile on their face.” Kids for Peace is a global nonprofit organization that provides a platform for young people to actively engage in socially conscious leadership, community service, arts, environmental stewardship, and global friendship. It began right here in Carlsbad 10 years ago. Learn more at www.kidsforpeaceglobal.org. ¢

FITMONKEYS

CLIENT PROFILE: Suzie Harper Perry

World traveler, artist, and business owner Suzie Harper Perry played tennis competitively for over 20 years. She started to develop pain in her right shoulder from tennis, but tried not to let the pain control her game. One day when traveling in Amsterdam, she tripped and fell down a narrow spiral staircase. On impact Suzie broke her left arm injuring her rotator cuff and severely spraining her right ankle. When she got back to the states she completed her physical therapy not only for her left shoulder/arm and her sprained ankle, but also for her right shoulder, (which showed signs of rotator cuff damage from the years of competitive tennis). After PT she wanted to keep her shoulders and ankles strong, while also increasing her core strength and losing some weight. That’s when Suzie began training with Denise McClelland at Fit Monkeys.

Suzie Harper Perry Occupation: Business Owner of Nautilus Rentals a bayside vacation rental company. Hobbies: Creating mosaic mirrors &wall murals, painting & writing. Denise evaluated Suzie’s history and completed a thorough fitness and movement assessment to identify Suzie’s strengths and weaknesses. She then developed a routine to help strengthen Suzie’s shoulder girdle, ankle, and core safely, while also increasing general strength to promote weight loss. Denise utilizes weight training, pilates, yoga, dance, mat work, and cardio in Suzie’s routine to keep her sessions fresh and fun.

“

Initially I began training with Denise because of a rotator cuff injury. Denise’s knowledge of anatomy and how the body builds and heals muscle is above and beyond what I expected. I no longer have any issues with my shoulder. Every session with Denise is different. Her methods involve weights, pilates, yoga, a little bit of everything. They are fun and effective. Recently I attended a “bootcamp” type training session at another gym just for fun, but without Denise’s guidance on correct form (her mantra) I injured my knee Mea culpa! Won’t do that again! Go now while you can still get in! She is THAT good.” Suzie Harper Perry

Everyone Loves a Clean San Diego

Swinging On a Star of Success

I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) engaged over 7,500 volunteers at 114 cleanup sites simultaneously at this year’s Coastal Cleanup Day in mid-September. During the three-hour event, volunteers worked to restore the health and beauty of San Diego’s natural environment by removing more than 150,000 pounds of trash and pollutants. Volunteers also removed graffiti, replaced invasive plants with water-wise native plants, and performed general park maintenance. Coastal Cleanup Day is one of hundreds of cleanups hosted by ILACSD, receiving attention from several of San Diego’s elected officials who visited cleanup sites in their respective districts. For over 60 years, ILACSD has been San Diego’s most influential advocate for sustainability, serving as an environmental catalyst, awakening passion, inspiring action, and empowering everyone to create a lasting, positive impact on the local environment. For information about how to get involved visit www.cleansd.org.

The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce held their small business awards luncheon in early October to pay tribute to the companies that keep the local economy moving forward. With the theme of Swinging on a Star of Success, the event featured a panel of three small business owners who shared their experience on what it takes to run and build a successful company. Panelists included two-time Cupcake Wars winner Don Hein, owner of Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen; Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year Award recipient Sue Loftin, founding partner of the Loftin Firm, P.C., and 76th Assembly District Small Business of the Year winner Owen Hemsath, founder of Owen Video.

CHS Lancer Dancer Golf Tournament

Adopt-A-Family Project The Carlsbad Christmas Bureau Adopt-A-Family Project has been helping Carlsbad families enjoy the holiday season since 1970. With a mission to unite the community, and share the joy and spirit of Christmas with Carlsbad’s less fortunate children and families, the organization partners with companies, groups, schools, and caring citizens to provide the experience of Christmas to over 400 Carlsbad families in need. A 501(c)(3), volunteer-run organization, the Christmas Bureau is now seeking support of the community to get all 400 families adopted. Once participants sign up to adopt, they are then paired with and provided information about their adopted family so they can go Christmas shopping. All of the gifts for each adopted family are collected at the Christmas Bureau warehouse the first week of December.

Local Students Compete at La Costa Film Festival Former Carlsbad High School CHSTV students Haylie Bantle, Kiara DeCelles, and Andrew Ferreira, as well as Valley Middle School student Tommy Kelly, competed at the La Costa Film Festival in mid-October. During their time at CHSTV, Haylie, Kiara, and Andrew worked together on a short film called Crop Swap. CHSTV teacher Doug Green explained, “The story began as a chapter in a longer film produced last year by the Student Television Network. The topic was poverty, and my program executive produced the entire film while also contributing the story on Crop Swap. They highlighted what the organization Crop Swap is doing with locally grown crops to assist in combating hunger on a local level.” Crop Swap was a finalist in the high school/college film division of the La Costa Film Festival and also won Best of Show at the 2016 San Diego County Fair. As a finalist for The Reel Pitch, middle schooler Tommy Kelly pitched a screenplay idea to a panel of professional filmmakers at the festival. To learn more visit www.lacostafilmfestival.org.

Vettes for Vets Hosted by North Coast Vettes, the 5th Annual Vettes for Veterans show will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m at The Shoppes at Carlsbad.

Spectators will be able to view a wide variety of Corvettes with models ranging from the ‘50s to the latest models. This year’s event is expected to fill up quickly, so those interested in entering their car should contact Howard Rosenberg at seyhow@sbcglobal.net. Other highlights of the event include musical entertainment, raffle prizes, a silent auction, and more. To learn more visit www.northcoastvettes.org.

Away for the Holidays The Veterans’ Writing Group has released a book, Away for the Holidays, to share their experiences of spending a holiday away from home while in the service. In hopes that it will highlight the sacrifices of members of our military for the general public, while also allowing veterans to feel comforted by the shared experiences of other veterans, the group plans to distribute free copies to VAs, military hospitals, and USOs. The book will also be for sale on Amazon. Cofounder Gail Chatfield shared, “The stories they shared are heartwarming and heart-rending at the same time. When we decided to put the stories together in a book to share about the service and sacrifice of our military, the group accomplished this mission with military precision and esprit de corps.” The Veterans’ Writing Group was founded in 2010 by Gail Chatfield and John Maki, and holds free meetings on the first Saturday of every month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Veterans Association of North County in Oceanside. The group is open to any veteran who would like to improve their writing skills, develop a creative outlet, share their experiences, and or get help publishing their work, and members come from all over San Diego County. To learn more visit www.veteranswritinggroup.org.

America’s Kindest City The official dedication ceremony for Carlsbad’s newest kindness meters was held in late-September. Installed at either side of the Carlsbad sign, the meters are a way to raise money to keep the sign permanently lit, while also raising funds for Carlsbad and North County charities and community projects. The dedication ceremony saw a great turnout from the community, and attendees enjoyed live music by The Blackwater Blues Band and danced in the street in celebration. CBS News 8 anchor Dan Cohen served as emcee and the event saw appearances from world-renowned marine life artist Wyland as well as former TaylorMade CEO and major sponsor of the sign Mark King. Carlton Lund, the organizer behind the Kindness Meter Project, shared, “I wanted the meters in the first place... as a charitable thing. Just to make kindness a regular habit. The whole purpose is to generate kindness.” To learn more about the Kindness Meter Project visit www.kindnessmeters.com.

Helping Underserved Youth Local nonprofit Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) teamed up with employees of NETGEAR to provide backpacks full of school supplies for over 50 children in North County San Diego. SSE’s mission is to repurpose supplies to those in need at local schools and nonprofits. The organization’s director Sue Prelozni said, “When our friends at NETGEAR reached out regarding this special project, we were more than happy to help them identify a few local nonprofits whose constituents truly fit their purpose,” said SSE Director Sue Prelozni. Together they focused on three nonprofits: Petra House, New Haven Youth and Family Services, and Stand Up for Kids. Through their research, they decided to utilize the School-Tools Backpacks by World Vision for their outreach. “We felt that the homeless and foster children would benefit the most from receiving a School-Tools backpack filled with school supplies,” said NETGEAR office coordinator Francesca Vanderloo. “The best part of the School-Tools Backpack is the handwritten note it includes with words of encouragement, prepared by our employees who assembled the backpacks,” said Vanderloo.

The Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s (CLAF) Night at the Library was held in midSeptember at the Dove Library. The annual event raises funds to provide financial support for the Carlsbad library and art facilities and programs for children, teens, and adults. Attendees were treated to an Italian dinner and dessert, tours of the library, and a night of dancing in the library with musical entertainment from San Diego artists Melanie Taylor, Terry Wollman, and DJ Extreme. Ben D. Schulman, a longtime patron of the library, was the guest of honor for the night, and the crowd helped him celebrate his 99th birthday.

Q&A with Co-President

Wendy Schuster What is the history behind the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? When and why was it originally founded? Founded in 1925 and incorporated by the national General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad (WCC) just celebrated 90 years of service to the local and global community. WCC is one of the oldest philanthropic and social organizations in Carlsbad but its roots are in philanthropic service to individuals and groups.

Woman’s Club of Carlsbad President At-A-Glance

Name: Wendy Schuster Profession: Real estate mortgage broker Community: Carlsbad Hobbies & Interests: Golf, camping, spending time with family and friends Favorite Places to Visit in Carlsbad: Tamarack Beach Walk, Carlsbad restaurants and shops

What is the mission of the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? How does the club go about fulfilling this mission? The WCC is a philanthropic women’s organization dedicated to strengthening our community and enhancing the lives of others and ourselves through volunteer service. WCC members donate their time, talents, and treasures to work on projects that assist individuals and groups related to children, the elderly, animals, the arts, and the environment. To be able to donate to organizations and causes in the community in a monetary way, WCC holds many fundraisers throughout the year.

Is the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad affiliated with any larger organizations? We are affiliated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs (CFWC), who provide direction and focus on projects of interest to their leaders.

24 • 0810 MAGAZINE.COM • November | December 2016

How did you personally become involved with WCC? I had recently moved to the Carlsbad area and was invited by a friend to become involved in the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad. I have been a member since 2001.

What is your current role within the organization, and what duties does it entail? I am a president at this time. A president’s job is to oversee the operations of a club and to keep the board members and the membersat-large motivated and organized to continue forth with their projects and interests to better serve our community. We rely on other board members as well who have volunteered their time to oversee certain segments within our club such as membership, ways and means, philanthropy, etc.

What is the most rewarding thing about your role? The most challenging? The most rewarding thing about being the president is to see women of all ages, nationalities, and beliefs come together to help other human beings in our community. I believe the most challenging role is to keep focused on taking time out of our everyday, busy lives to continue being involved with the club, and making sure that every club member feels special and included in the activities of our club, and that the club as a whole continues to thrive so that it can continue to contribute to the organizations to which we support.

How has the organization grown and changed over the years? Oh yes, we have grown. We are now 84 members strong. I believe the club has simply grown stronger as reflected by the women who belong to this club. They are all strong women who strive to enrich their own lives and those around them by giving of their time and energy to help others. In the 1960s when the WCC Clubhouse was built across the street from Carlsbad High School, the ladies gathered for lunch, performed community service, and played bridge. Today our meetings are held in the evening as a large majority of our members are working women and we now play bunco rather than bridge! A lunchtime gathering is also held for the ladies who wish to get together during the day to socialize and work on projects.

What are the primary goals of the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad, both short-term and long-term? The goals are the same for short-term and long-term – to better serve our community to the best of our combined abilities.

What have been some of the organization’s most successful projects or fundraising events? The Carlsbad Holiday Market has been our most recent successful fundraiser. In the past we have also had fundraising success with chili cook-offs, Bunco nights, casino nights, and lingerie/clothing sales events. Our ongoing projects include sewing comfort pillows for mastectomy patients, assisting Stand Up for Kids with meals for homeless teens, assisting Meals on Wheels with items and treats for seniors, and scholarships for nursing students and Carlsbad High School girls going on to college.

Are there any other projects or events that you’d like to elaborate on for our readers, either recent or upcoming? Our largest fundraising event is the Carlsbad Holiday Market. This year’s Holiday Market will be held on Nov. 5, and over 20 vendors have been invited to participate. Along with the beautiful items crafted by the talented women of WCC, our guests and the public shop for holiday, personal, fashion, and home décor items at this fun event.

How would somebody go about joining the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? What is the criteria for membership? All woman of all ages are eligible to become members of our club. The WCC membership director this year is Donna Vanoni and she is the one to contact for membership. Information to get in touch with her or the club is on our website at www.womansclubofcarlsbad.org.

Can you describe the most gratifying aspect of serving the Carlsbad community? We are very blessed to live and work in this community. Being able to support and give back to the community in whatever way we can is very gratifying, and continues to make Carlsbad one of the best communities in which to live.

If you could grant the Woman’s Club one wish, what would it be? More fundraising income to allow our philanthropic committee to be able to assist those individuals and groups in need, and to be able to give more money for scholarship awards to graduating seniors going into college.

Carlsbad's Kathleen Lentini Turns Tragedy into a Triumph of Optimism by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

athleen Lentini has always been interested in the arts. Born and raised in the Midwest, music was her lifeblood. Her mother is a descendant to the court musician to King William of Germany, and her father’s Italian genetics also factored into her musicality. She began ballet training at nine, piano at 10, vocal studies at 12, and won a vocal scholarship to Interlochen International School of Music by age 14. Kathleen, married by age 20, took her training and began university studies in music and pre-med. Her son was born next, but then her life came to a halt when she was in a horrific car accident, clinically dead for several minutes. Her recovery and experiences throughout the years since have confirmed her decision to embrace the world and all that’s in it. The ways in which Kathleen has done this are myriad. Since the accident, she’s turned to a career in volunteer work, narrating service narration audio books for 12 years at KPBS, then cable TV creating, writing, producing, and hosting programs. She’s visited spinal cord injury patients at Edgemore Hospital in Santee, led tours at Oceanside Museum of Art, and guided tours through the Ranch House of Rancho Santa Margarita – the cattle ranch

which became Camp Pendleton. Beyond this important community assistance, Kathleen sings, paints, and writes. She sings for the Seaside Singers Choir at her senior center in Carlsbad Village, and loves Hawaiian dance there. “I don’t actually do the dance for obvious reasons but I enjoy sitting in the class,” she shared, “immersing myself in the Aloha spirit, visualizing myself dancing the graceful movements as I sing along.” Kathleen started writing in the mid-70s, but never thought about writing a book. Her memoir, Life After Death…Karma Bit Me in the Ass, is about the experience of dying and then living again presented the opportunity to help assuage peoples’ fear of death, of the unknown. “What I enjoy most about writing is how lyrical phrases pop into my head and I get to play with them like a kid with Tinker Toys,” she smiled. “That is fun.” Her pseudonym came from the word Chima meaning ‘with God’, and Vincenza, her grandmother’s name. Kathleen has advice for writers and others: “Success will follow if you let that joy be your guiding star and your belief in yourself is so strong that nothing or no one can sway you. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Have fun living it.” 

UNLEASHED IN SAN DIEGO

Explore the City With Your Pooch For a Doggone Good Time

by SHYANNE LOPEZ

he only thing San Diegans might enjoy more than beaches, burritos, and brews is enjoying all of those things with man's best friend. Let's face it, it's tough to stay indoors in a city like San Diego. It's even tougher to leave your dog behind to miss out on the adventure. Luckily, America's Finest City might also be one of America's most dog-friendly cities. From North County to downtown, local dog owners are constantly discovering outdoor and indoor destinations where they can be accompanied by their four-legged friend. So, if you're looking to have some fun this fall with your pup, grab the leash and check out some of the dog-friendly activities we've put together – they'll have Fido's tail wagging in no time.

SAND AND SURF

HOWLING GOOD HIKES

BREWS AND BITES

MEETUPS FOR PUPS

Beach days are not just for us – our canine companions love the waves too! For San Diego dog owners, there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches to choose from. From Del Mar Dog Beach to Coronado to the "Original Dog Beach" in Ocean Beach, there is no shortage of beaches to let your dog off-leash for some fun in the sun. Want to make your beach trip even more memorable? Sign you and your pup up for some surf or stand up paddle boarding lessons!

A key to keeping your dog happy and healthy is exercise. Not only does it keep dogs in peak physical condition but it also keeps their minds active. Many owners, especially those without a yard, know all too well the consequences of a bored dog. So get outside and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of local trails with your furry friend. Balboa Park, San Elijo Lagoon, and Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve are just some of the dog-friendly local hiking spots.

Tired from an afternoon of hiking or beach-going? Grab you and your pup some refreshments at any of the dog-friendly breweries throughout San Diego. Relax with a cold one while your dog enjoys some attention and treats of their own. Mission Brewery, Mother Earth Brew Co., and Bagby Beer Company are among some of the most dog-loving brew houses. Not interested in beer? San Diego boasts a variety of dog-friendly restaurants and cafés – just take your pick.

One of the most fun aspects of being a dog owner is interacting and making friends with other owners and their dogs. While this can easily be done at a dog park, one of the most sure-fire ways to get some doggie play-dates scheduled is by attending a dog meetup. Meetups can vary in design from breed-specific to muttinclusive to hiking or Pokémon GO dog walkers, so be sure to choose the meetup that is right for you and your dog. Look for meetups in your area at www.meetup.com.

2017 Real Estate Market Projections A

lways around this time of the year we start wondering what is going to happen next year. Well, we aren’t the only ones. The experts feel the same way and we start seeing the projections that they are predicting. We always turn to the C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young to see what her opinion is. In the C.A.R. 2017 California Housing Market Forecast she stated, “With the California economy continuing to outperform the nation, the demand for housing will remain robust even with supply and affordability constraints still very much in evidence. The net result will be California’s housing market posting a modest increase in 2017.” C.A.R. President Pat “Ziggy” Zicarelli also spoke in this same article. He stated, “Next year, California’s housing market will be driven by tight housing supplies and the lowest housing affordability in six years.” Interest rates always factor into the projections. As we all know, the interest rates are historically low and will remain historically low even if there is a slight rise in interest rates. The experts are saying a 4.0% interest rate will be the norm, which is up from the 3.6% interest rates we are seeing as a norm in 2016.
