It’s a Miracle!
F
Derrick Breaux Publisher
or the better part of last year, our two youngest kids (9 and 10 years old) have been asking for pet hamsters. My wife and I had several conversations about it and ultimately decided that we would succumb to the request. After all, isn’t owning and taking care of hamsters part of the magical childhood experience? Isn’t it supposed to teach responsibility – and all of that other stuff that kids need to learn the hard way? So, a couple of days before Christmas, my wife headed to the pet store and came home with, not one, but two male Roborovski hamsters (the smallest of the dwarf hamsters). I have to admit, the little guys are very cute. Needless to say, they were the hit of the gift exchange. Fast Forward 15 Days. My daughter had a friend over for a play date. All of a sudden, I heard high pitched shrieks and screams (which aren’t that uncommon during these play dates) coming from upstairs followed by the inevitable rumbling of footsteps running down the stairs. Both girls were screaming at the top of their lungs, “The boy hamster is having babies! How can a boy hamster have babies? Oh my goodness. What should we do? What should we do?” Chuckling and with a bit of a dismissive attitude, I let them know that this was literally impossible. However, upon further observation, I realized that the impossible had in fact happened. It was a miracle! The “boy” hamster was definitely giving birth – not to one baby, but to a litter of six little hamsters. The Breaux household went into immediate lockdown. Chaos had officially set in. Once word of the miracle hit the streets, parents and other friends were quickly en route to check out the new little guys. There were even talks of live hamster cams. Life as we know it would clearly not be the same. As family and friends gathered to see the modern day miracle, I immediately began consulting with Google (knower of all things) to try to figure out how this could have happened. Google responded by letting me know that the gestation period for ‘Robo’ hamsters is about 22 days. This meant that the “boy” hamster was pregnant when we purchased her. This information prompted additional questions. I put more intense pressure on Google to get to the bottom of the mystery. Is the other hamster also a female? If not, should we separate them? Google was a bit indecisive in this area, so we ultimately decided to move the hamster of unknown sex into its own cage the next day, especially once we realized that the mother had already exiled it into a distant corner of the cage. It seemed like the right thing to do. Fast Forward 21 Days. Since Google had instructed us not to mess with the baby hamsters, we merely observed for several weeks while contacting friends who might be interested in adopting some of the critters. The hamster cam idea had also been overridden because we couldn’t quite figure out how to make it work (code phrase for “I was lazy”). The baby hamsters were now weaned from the mother and running around. They were as cute as you can imagine. Control of the Breaux household had now been regained. Fast Forward One More Day. I received an unexpected text message from my wife, “Our boy hamster (I can’t repeat all of her words) just had SIX MORE BABIES!” I realized we had officially lost control once again – in fact, it seems we were never in control after all. Talks of hamster cams resumed. Visitors stopping by to see the new miracle babies stepped up to an all-time high. We did Facebook posts. We hit the phones. Desperate emails were sent out. We needed more people to adopt more hamsters! At the end of all of the excitement, there are two things that I am now certain of. For starters, the mother hamster is officially not a boy. Additionally, the other original hamster is definitely not a girl. Other than that, all I can do is enjoy the chaos and laugh.

MASTER MACHINIST THROUGH HIS VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THE CRAFTSMANSHIP MUSEUM, DAVE BELT HELPS TO EDUCATE OTHERS ON THE MASTERY OF MACHINE WORK by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Lauren Nygard Photography
D
ave Belt has always had a passion for anything mechanical. Growing up in New Jersey, Dave spent his high school years focused on technology subjects and shop classes. In 11th grade, his guidance counselor noticed Dave’s consistent tardiness to his English and history classes, and asked Dave what career he hoped for after graduation. When Dave revealed his aspiration to become a machinist, the counselor worked out a program where Dave could complete his required subjects in the morning and leave school midday to work in a local machine shop. This set in motion a series of life events that would shape Dave’s long and successful career as a machinist, and ultimately land him the volunteer position he holds today with the Craftsmanship Museum, a facility in Carlsbad that houses various projects made by craftspeople all over the world, including
miniature engines, doll houses, weapons, cars, construction equipment, and more. Prior to volunteering for the museum, Dave had owned a manufacturing business for many years. “After retiring in 2000 we bought a property in North County and I put up a building to house my small machine shop and started producing a product that I sold direct to retailers in several western states,” recalled Dave. After several years of this, Dave made a change and started restoring antique cars, which he continued to do until he got involved with the museum in 2010. Today, Dave runs the museum shop working on various projects, conducts tours, and demonstrates various miniature engines. “The current project I am working on is a ¼” scale model of a Kinner 5-cylinder radial engine,” described Dave. “At this point there has been approximately 1,600 hours spent
on the project making various parts, including several of my own design.” Apart from his many hours spent at the museum, Dave is passionate about Model A Ford cars. “At present I have two, a 1930 Coupe with a rumble seat and a 1929 Phaeton,” stated Dave. “I did a complete restoration on the 1930 Coupe over a period of four years and drive it all the time to and from the museum.” He also loves traveling with his wife of 55 years, Arlene – with whom he has four children. As a family they also have five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Meanwhile Dave remains fiercely passionate about his work. “Some of my goals are to keep working at the museum as long as I can and hope to inspire an interest in young people to ‘build something,’” said Dave. “I look at the machine work I do as not just delicate, precise machined parts but as art objects.” ¢

Other highlights included a Kid Ventures kid zone, face painting, live music entertainment, delicious food, and lots of vendor booths. Major sponsors included NRG, Independent Financial Group, Datron, Avista Technologies, RoadRunner Sports, and U.S. Bank.

UNDERSTANDING
Vitamin D DEFICIENCY
by STEVEN SALINGER, M.D.; Scripps Clinic, Encinitas
Often nicknamed the “sunshine vitamin,” Vitamin D is an important but frequently misunderstood nutrient. Conflicting news reports touting the link between Vitamin D and cancer prevention, or debating the pros and cons of Vitamin D supplements, have only added to the confusion. While the jury may still be out on Vitamin D’s role in immunity or disease prevention, one thing is clear – our bodies need adequate Vitamin D levels for proper health, and we’re not immune to Vitamin D deficiency simply because we live in a climate with beautiful year-round sunshine. Why it’s Important Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium and maintain normal levels of phosphorus – in other words, Vitamin D makes our bones strong. That’s why children with Vitamin D deficiency can develop rickets, a disease that causes bone softness and weakness, and adults who don’t get enough Vitamin D are prone to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones and muscles.
Steven Salinger, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Clinic in Encinitas. Dr. Salinger provides comprehensive primary care, including skin care.

Where to Find It It may sound hard to believe, but our bodies produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunshine, specifically the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. While many of us will get all the Vitamin D we need from sun exposure, others will need to get Vitamin D through other sources as well. These individuals include people who spend a lot of time indoors, whether it’s due to an office job or because you’re home-bound due to your health. Additionally, while sunscreen use is critically important to preventing skin cancer, its continuous use may hamper Vitamin D production because sunscreens help block UV rays from reaching our skin. Vitamin D is found in some foods including egg yolks, cheese, pork, fortified milk and cereals, and fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel. While you can also purchase over-the-counter Vitamin D supplements, please talk to your primary care doctor before taking any, to determine whether you actually need them and what dose is appropriate. Too much Vitamin D can be harmful to your health. Who is at Risk? Certain people are more prone to Vitamin D deficiency. In addition to people with limited sun exposure, those who are at higher risk include people who are elderly or obese, people who have darker skin, and babies who are exclusively breastfed. Additionally, certain medical conditions such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease can cause a deficiency. Talk to Your Doctor Because symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency may not be obvious, it’s very important not to diagnose yourself. Your primary care doctor can check your Vitamin D levels with a simple blood test. If you are Vitamin D deficient, your doctor will work with you on a course of treatment that may include careful sun exposure (to minimize skin damage from UV rays) and the proper use of Vitamin D supplements. ¢

lly Jane stands out in so many ways, although she would be the last to admit this. “I love life and the world around me and I think it is so awesome to be recognized for those simple things,” Ally said. A junior at Carlsbad High School (CHS), Ally is working her way toward Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a career as a middle school math teacher. Math does not come easy to Ally, but her work ethic is the key to her success. Despite a low score on the Algebra 2 Honors diagnostic test, she requested to stay in the class. “I promised my teacher I would work twice as hard as the other students if I had to and that’s exactly what I did,” Ally explained. By the second semester, Ally earned straight As on all her math tests.

Ally looks forward to sharing her passion in the classroom. She’s been practicing since she was six – “I’d make seating charts, and I even had a whiteboard to teach lessons to my stuffed animals,” Ally shared. Today, she stands in front of a real classroom as a student tutor at Magnolia Elementary School. Once a month, Ally teaches the fourth grade class. “The chance to teach confirmed my dreams of teaching and made me so excited for the future,” she acknowledged. “I want to create students who love to learn and be there for students who may need someone in their lives to support them.” Her commitment to school and student life extends beyond the classroom. Ally’s extracurricular engagement began in middle school as a peer mentor in the Where Everyone Belongs program. In high school, Ally serves on the Superintendent Student Advisory Council for the Carlsbad Unified School District. She was also a scholar athlete “I LOVE LIFE her freshman and sophomore years and AND THE WORLD elected co-captain of the CHS cheerleading AROUND ME, team.

About the Chef Subm www.0 it a recipe at 810mag azine.c om
Name of Chef: Christine Bevilacqua Family: Daughters – Catherine, Lucia, and Sophia; Partner – Gregory Community: Carlsbad Village Hobbies/Interests: Yoga, gardening, renewable energy policy Favorite Local Activity: The beach and State Street Farmers’ Market About the Recipe: The cauliflower in my community garden plot did so well this winter I was running out of recipe ideas to use it. The idea of cauliflower tots made me very happy as I love cauliflower and tater tots! So this is a great alternative to the traditional potato tots that have no nutritional value. Everyone loves these – they are great for kids and as party finger food. I use extra cilantro in mine just because I love it. I’ve also done a variation with curry powder that was great with yogurt dipping sauce. It’s a little hard to make a perfect tot shape, so don’t worry about that – little balls, ovals, or mini-cakes – they all taste great! About the Chef: I’m originally from Cleveland, OH but have lived in San Diego County for the last 16 years. When I moved to Carlsbad Village in 2008 I looked for ways to become involved with my community and promote the importance of environmentally sustainable practices. As VP of communications for the Carlsbad Community Gardens Collaborative, and as a Smerdu Community Garden plot holder, I’ve been learning a lot about growing my own food. It’s been a fun and delicious journey! I have enjoyed working with my awesome fellow CCGC board members on garden advocacy and education over the past three years, as well as meeting many local residents who support community gardening in Carlsbad. This spring I’ll be graduating with a Master’s Degree in Urban Sustainability and I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge and skills here in North County. ¢

The Tong Family Instills Values of Peace and Community in their Lives by LYDIA COBB photo by Lauren Nygard Photography

ary and Christopher Tong met in Orange County on a group date with mutual friends. The movie was Terminator II – not so romantic – but the spark was there. After they married, they moved here to Carlsbad for its beaches, trails, and sense of community. Chris is a graduate of the USC Dental School. He opened his dental practice in San Diego and is a member of the California Dental Association. Mary graduated from University of Phoenix Pharmacy School and has been a pharmacist for Walgreens for 18 years. Their two sons are now ages 9 and 13. Grant is the eldest in eighth grade at Calavera Hills Middle School. He’s on the Science Olympiad and speech and debate teams and loves karate

and drawing. Greyson is in fourth grade at Calavera Hills Elementary School and is on the Lego Robotics team at school. He enjoys biking the Calaveras Trail and along Carlsbad Beach with his brother. Things weren’t always this pleasant. Mary and Chris were both child refugees from the war in Vietnam. “Even though I was eight years old at the time, I can still recall seeing the Viet Cong’s tanks rolling down the streets of the capital,” revealed Mary, who fled Vietnam on April 30, 1975 at the fall of Saigon. Chris escaped on a fishing boat with his four brothers and sisters five years later. The Tong family gives back for a more peaceful world. When Mary attended a Kids for Peace (KFP) chapter opening at Grant’s elementary school six years ago, she knew she wanted her family to be involved. KFP teaches children to be service-oriented community leaders, global citizens, and environmental stewards. “We want to plant that seed of giving, helping, and sharing in them at an early age so they can make better choices later in life,” shared Mary. On a KFP trip to New York, they visited UNICEF and distributed care packages to the homelss in Central Park. Greyson and Grant also helped fund shoes and a monthly rice supply for two orphanages in Vietnam with their allowances. They’ve served meals in soup kitchens and even cleaned beaches. "It’s true what they say. Giving is so much more rewarding than receiving,” Mary reflected. Back at home, they love Legoland, watching movies, and bicycling. Every Saturday they visit their grandmother (Mary’s mother), who is challenged by multiple sclerosis. The Tongs want a better world for their children, and they’re making it happen. ¢

New Dreher Gem Exhibit at GIA
Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is featuring more than 20 animal sculptures by world-renowned gemstone carvers Gerd and Patrick Dreher.

Titled “Generations of Mastery: Gemstone Carvings by Dreher,” the exhibit shows lifelike depictions of a chamelon, a starfish, and a frog on a lily pad, among others. These pieces, crafted out of various gemstones including jasper, agate, tourmaline, ruby in zoisite, smoky quartz, and grossular garnet, will be on view through this summer. “Pieces by the Dreher family are among the most admired gemstone carvings in the world,” said Terri Ottaway, Curator of the GIA Museum. “We’re incredibly fortunate to be able to share the Dreher family’s extraordinary craftsmanship.” GIA’s museum is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reservations are required.

Carlsbad Sculpture Garden Features New Exhibit The City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office recently presented a new installation in the Carlsbad Sculpture Garden to be featured through July.

The garden provides community members with the opportunity to enjoy art designed especially for outdoor settings and has exhibited works by acclaimed national and international artists such as Italo Scanga and Kevin Capps, as well as prominent local artists such as Fritzie Urquhart and Jeffery Laudenslager. Exhibitions are rotated every six to 12 months. The sculpture garden is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is free.

New Meters Help Conserve Water
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) has replaced all of its water meters with new automated meters that can be read remotely in order to save both water and money. CMWD staff can now read meters by collecting data from each meter using wireless technology, reducing the time it takes to read the district’s 29,144 meters from 329 hours to 55. “When we started this project in 2008, it was expected to take 15 years and cost $15 million to replace every meter,” said Mario Remillard, the project manager. “In 2012, new technology became available that allowed us to cut nine years from the project and reduce the cost by $9.6 million, so we’ve finished the project much more quickly and saved money doing it.” Other benefits of the new system include the ability to track water use and better explain usage history to customers who have questions. “One advantage of this new system is if a customer calls with questions about increased water usage, we can call up the data and help solve the problem right then and there,” Mario said. For more information visit www.carlsbadca.gov.
OYC and SLRPS Kick Off Boating Season
Oceanside Yacht Club (OYC) will hold their opening day ceremony to kick off boating season on Sunday, April 12 at 1 p.m. The boat parade will begin at 12 p.m. and can be enjoyed from the harbor.

Girl Scout Season is Here
Our friendly neighborhood Girl Scouts are gladly helping residents stock up on America’s iconic confection – Girl Scout cookies! Offerings include two brand new varieties – Rah-Rah Raisins and gluten-free Toffee-tastics – and returning favorites Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, and Tagalongs. All proceeds from each $5 box stay local to help fund Girl Scout activities and programs. For example, the members of Carlsbad-Carmel Valley Girl Scout Junior Troop 3237 funded an overnight adventure at the Living Coast Discovery Center where they learned about protecting endangered species and the environment. Under the guidance of troop leaders Denise Scott and Debbie Rider, the girls also used cookie earnings for community service projects. Carlsbad is home to more than 1,400 Girl Scout members. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, future business leaders like the girls of Troop 3237 gain key skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. They also help serve the military by inviting customers to donate cookies to Operation Thin Mint. For more information visit www.sdgirlscouts.org.

With new bike racks, bike lanes, and lighting, it is easier than ever to walk and bike in Carlsbad. [The campaign] fits right in with the community’s values around healthy lifestyles, connectivity, sustainability, and economic vitality.” The effort will include events, school outreach programs, business promotions, and other activities throughout the year.

:::: COVER FEATURE
Q&A with Jeff Schafer Carlsbad Rotary Club President
For the benefit of those who are not aware, what specifically is a Rotary Club? Locally, a Rotary Club brings together leaders who step forward to take on some of the toughest challenges in their communities. Internationally, a Rotary Club is a service association of businesses and professional leaders united worldwide who conduct humanitarian projects, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and work toward world understanding and peace.
Can you tell us about the history behind the Carlsbad Rotary Club? Who were its founding members? The Rotary Club of Carlsbad was started in 1939 by a handful of local business and professional men just as World War II was breaking out in Europe. The first club president was Samuel D. Fraser, a manager with the Carlsbad Mutual Water Co. who previously had been a member and president of the Oceanside Rotary Club. The club started with 21 charter members and board members consisting of local business owners such as William Hogg, a local avocado grower who lived on Highland Street, Kenneth A. Keveren, Managing Editor of the BladeTribune newspaper, Glenn F. Lewis, Owner of the Bauer Lumber Co., and Oliver Morris, Manager of the California Carlsbad Hotel, among others. During those early years, club attendance was spotty in part because of the escalating war, but the club persevered largely due to the dedication and persistence of its founding members.
What types of activities is the Rotary Club involved with? Can you elaborate on some of the projects you have worked on in the past? There are five “Avenues of Service” in Rotary: club, youth, community, international, and vocational. Within those, there are six areas of focus: peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development. In the 1950s, the club became involved in the city’s annual Spring Festival, a popular event that later would evolve into the Carlsbad Village Street Faire, now the largest single-day street fair in the country. Until the late 1980s, nearly all of the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s service activities were primarily local. More recently, the Rotary Club of Carlsbad celebrated its 75th anniversary in September 2014 with an impressive list of triumphs. Membership includes the mayor of Carlsbad, a city council member, the city treasurer, a famous POW
30 • 0810Magazine.com • March | April 2015
from the Vietnam War, and a retired Marine Corps General who has advised President Obama. The club has raised thousands of dollars for various Rotary and charitable projects, including the Smiles Project, which provides corrective surgery to children in Mexico born with cleft palates, schools for orphan children in South Africa, Brother Benno’s in Oceanside which provides food for the homeless, the La Posada de Guadalupe men’s shelter, and Rotary International’s fight to eradicate polio by 2018. The latter cause is near and dear to the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s heart, as one member is himself a polio survivor.
Which areas of San Diego do you work with? Our club works with many areas within San Diego County and Northern Mexico, but we primarily service the local North San Diego County area.
Do you hold fundraisers throughout the year? Do you have any fundraisers you would like our readers to be aware of? Yes! Our club collaborates with the Hi-Noon Rotary Club in Carlsbad to put on the annual Oktoberfest in Holiday Park, occurring on the first Saturday of every October. Our club also hosts a beer garden at the Spring and Fall Faires in Carlsbad.
What is your role within the club? What are you responsible for? I am the current president for a term which runs from July 1 through June 30. My role is to be the leader of the club, run weekly meetings, communicate service opportunities, promote engagement in Rotary, and more.
How many members does your current club have? Our club currently has about 64 members but we are adding new members every year.
Please tell us about how someone can go about becoming a Rotarian club member. What can new club members expect when joining? Membership is gained by recommendation of an active member. If you have interest in knowing more or would like to visit a meeting please contact us at the Carlsbad Rotary Club by visiting our website or Facebook page.
Please tell us how one can become a sponsor of the club. Anyone can donate money to our club foundation, which is tax deductible. Money given to the foundation generates interest which is used to pay for college scholarships. Interested persons may also decide to sponsor our club in the way of volunteering at some of our service projects or fundraisers.
What mission does the club hold true? Our main mission has been community service and youth service. We are involved with many local projects for service and youth.
What type of work do you do within the community of Carlsbad? To name just one, our club supports La Posada de Guadalupe shelter in Carlsbad. La Posada is the only shelter in San Diego’s North County region that provides emergency services to both day laborers and the general homeless population. La Posada is well positioned to help homeless men reintegrate back into society as contributing and productive members of our community. There are many other community service events our club does including Oktoberfest, Spring and Fall Faire beer gardens, the Christmas tree lighting event in downtown Carlsbad, and much more.
Are there any exciting new projects, developments, or programs coming to the club? Always! One of the next really big community service opportunities is on April 16. It is called Rotarians at Work Day. This event happens the last Saturday in April each year. The tradition started in 2006 as
a joint effort between two Rotary districts in the United States and Mexico, and it continues to grow every year.

Q&A with Mark Ealy
Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club President
For the benefit of those who are not aware what specifically is a Rotary Club? A Rotary Club is a group of professional and community leaders who join together to provide service to the community on a local, national, and worldwide scale. There are over 34,558 clubs worldwide with over 1,220,115 members participating in Rotary International. All members and clubs worldwide believe in “Service Above Self.”
Can you tell us about the history behind the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club? Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary was founded in 1983 by the work of members of two existing clubs – Carlsbad Rotary and El Camino Real Rotary in Oceanside. Hi-Noon’s founding members were Manuel Castorena, a former mayor of the City of Carlsbad, and 35 other Carlsbad residents.
What types of activities is the Rotary Club involved with? Can you elaborate on some of the projects you have worked on in the past? Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary activities and fundraisers throughout the year include holding Oktoberfest in partnership with Carlsbad Rotary Club, the “Teens and Marines” Golf Tournament, two book fairs a year at Jefferson Elementary entitled Raising Readers, and an adopt-a-family program in partnership with Carlsbad Christmas Bureau which works to “adopt” 450 less fortunate families every year to provide gifts and food for the holiday season. Programs for youth involvement include Interact Club, a Rotary-equivalent club at Carlsbad High School (CHS) now serving over 70 CHS students. Other youth involvement programs include the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), Avid Conference, Youth Exchange, and of course, the Rotary Cup – presented to the winning team at the CHS and La Costa Canyon High School (LCCHS) football game each year. Some of our international work includes building homes in Tijuana, MX for families in need, purchasing water sanitation materials for villages in Belize as well as providing computers and generators for students there, and purchasing goats for families living in poverty in India so they may sell the milk and develop a viable income stream.
Can you tell me more about Rotarians at Work? What does this entail for your members? Each year every club member helps in a national “all hands on deck” campaign to provide community service. In the past members have built and cleaned trails, painted, and done physical labor all over the City of Carlsbad. Other hands-on projects are accomplished throughout the year on an as-needed basis and are an integral part of Rotary.
32 • 0810Magazine.com • March | April 2015
Which areas of San Diego do you work with? Hi-Noon Rotary focuses primarily on Carlsbad with some outreach to North County and San Diego in general through community related fundraising and work for local students, citizens, and nonprofits. Internationally, each year may differ based on the worldwide need, the interests of the membership, and the commitment to follow through. All Rotarians participate financially in the eradication of polio, with many also venturing each year into countries to immunize the children.
What is your role within the club? What are you responsible for? As president, I am responsible for leading our members for the fiscal year July 1 through June 30. The club runs and works with the help of every member, so the main goal of the president is to coordinate the efforts of our members and provide communication to all about the many goings on within the club. Setting specific goals and focusing on specific projects during the year is important. Planning and running the weekly meetings is also a big part of the president’s role.
How many members does your current club have? Hi-Noon Rotary is now 91 members strong, and we invite others interested in joining us to visit our club.
Please tell us about how someone can go about becoming a Rotarian club member. What can new club members expect when joining? Come to lunch and see what we do. Visit our website at www.carlsbadhinoonrotary.org as it contains all the details of membership. You can also check out the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Facebook page or call a member – if you live in Carlsbad, you probably already know someone in the club. New members can expect to be welcomed, to be valued for their ideas and efforts, and to be engaged in the club’s activities – both through service and the club’s own social events.
Please tell us how one can become a sponsor of the club. Each of our fundraisers is sponsored by a variety of corporations, businesses, and individuals. All receive visibility on event materials and signage at the event itself. Sponsorship ranges from $100 all the way up to $10,000. Call 760-500-5400 for more information about sponsorships.
What mission does the club hold true? Each Rotary club and each Rotarian, worldwide, adheres to the “Four-Way Test” of the things we think, say, or do: is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships, and will it be beneficial to all concerned? Rotary is a service club and Rotarians believe in “Service Above Self.”
Can you tell us about the Rotarian of the Year award? What type of criteria do you refer to when choosing the next Rotarian of the Year?
Are there any exciting new projects, developments, or programs coming to the club? Brew Fest was completed in October of last year for the first time and Rotarians Helping Seniors is a new hands-on program receiving wild acclaim from the seniors involved. Also, this year the club instituted the first annual “Jim Smith Award for Community Leadership” – of which Jim Smith was the first recipient. The award was organized by past presidents of the club to honor the 96-year-old member and community leader Jim Smith. It will be reviewed each year by the past presidents for a worthy honoree.
What are your short-term and long-term goals for the club? One of our short-term goals is to raise enough money or find a donor for a moving truck for Solutions for Change, a service organization that does great work with homeless families in North County. Long-term goals are to keep making Rotary fun and rewarding, to add new, quality members, and to do more good in our community.
The Rotarian of the Year award is a selection and presentation made by the club president each year to a Rotarian in the club who has worked for the club and the community to an exemplary level.
What’s the most exciting aspect of being a Rotarian? The friendships developed and positive work involved in one’s community and the impact the worldwide membership has on making a difference. Also, the ability to “make up” Rotary meetings at clubs around the world which affords a wonderful opportunity to meet locals and have something immediately in common is a major plus.
Can you tell us where and when your meetings are held? Our club meets at noon every Monday (except federal holidays) at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. Each meeting includes lunch, club activities, and a keynote speaker. ¢

he Carlsbad Marathon & Half Marathon recently brought close to 10,000 runners and walkers from all over the world to Carlsbad to particpate in the 26.2 and 13.1 mile course. Starting at Westfield Carlsbad in the early hours of the morning, runners made their way by Buena Vista Lagoon and then through the heart of The Village, until they finally came to the finish line – all while enjoying the rolling hills and stunning views of the ocean along the way. Other highlights included 25 live bands spread throughout the course at every mile, nearly 2,000 volunteers at 25 different support stations, and crowds of spectators who stopped by to cheer on the runners with signs of support. The event helped to raise funds and awareness for 19 different charities including Alzheimer’s Association, Donate Life San Diego, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, and Girls on the Run, among many others. The amount of charitable funds raised was expected to reach $200,000. For more information visit www.carlsbadmarathon.com. ¢

Elementary Administrator of the Year LOCAL PRINCIPAL HONORED FOR COMMITMENT TO MUSIC PROGRAMS
H
ope Elementary School’s Principal Richard Tubbs was recently named Elementary Administrator of the Year by the California Music Educators Association’s Southern Border Section for his consistent commitment to the music program at his school. When asked about why she nominated Richard for this honor, music teacher Sharon Evans said, “I am blessed to have such an outstanding administrator on site supporting the work I feel so passionately about and one who works tirelessly to make the program a success.” Richard started his career in education in 1995 and joined Carlsbad Unified School District in 2001 as a science teacher at Valley Middle School (VMS). He then went on to work as assistant principal at VMS for two years until he took the position as principal of Hope Elementary in 2006. Since then, Richard has demonstrated support for the music program at Hope by working with local foundations including the school’s PTA to gather and ensure funding for music instructors and music equipment. He also stepped up to support the unique handbell program started by Sharon Evans at Hope in 2004 called Joyful Bells and uses multimedia to promote music and highlight student performances. Sharon elaborated, “The students and staff at Hope Elementary are fortunate to have a principal at the helm who values the arts and is dedicated to preserving music education for all students.” ¢

Coyote Cavern Productions
PROGRAM ALLOWS LOCAL STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE THEATER photos by Don Patterson
I
n 2003, Carlsbad resident Katie Gardner started Coyote Cavern Productions (CCP) with the goal of allowing as many children as possible the opportunity to experience the art of performing. Created in response to school budget cuts, the nonprofit theater company is centered at Calavera Hills Schools and gives third through eighth graders the opportunity to experience the world of professional theater production through intensive training in singing, acting, and dancing and is funding entirely through ticket sales, donations, and grants. Since its start 12 years ago, the program has grown to include over 100 children in each cast and has become an integral part of the school culture. When asked about the benefits of the program Katie said, “Past CCP students have gone on to pursue performing in high school, community theater, college, and professional theater. All participants leave the program with improved social and professional skills and fond memories of creating and performing a work of art within a team.” The program is free to the students of Calavera Hills Elementary and Middle Schools. This year’s CCP show Bye Bye Birdie includes a bright, lively score which features well-known songs such as “Put on a Happy Face” and “One Last Kiss.” The cast and crew includes over 110 students and will be presented in the multi-purpose room of Calavera Hills School on March 26, 27, and 28 at 7 p.m. and on March 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 through $10 and will be available at the door.

Shoes for Souls Clara Marsden Aims to Save Lives, One Step at a Time by LINDA FRABL | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography
B
orn and raised in Colombia, Clara Marsden came to the United States to attend college and has been living in Carlsbad for 17 years now. Grateful for her husband, her three grown children, and her beautiful surroundings, Clara exclaimed, “We enjoy Carlsbad’s small-town Southern California benefits such as minimal driving as everything is close, perfect weather, beautiful views, seeing the ocean every day, and the friendships.” Fully aware that her current blessed life differs considerably from the impoverishment she encountered growing up in her hometown of Medellin, Colombia, Clara decided to do something about it during a family trip to her native country. That’s when the Shoes for Souls organization was conceived. Clara recalled, “Shoes for Souls started when our family traveled to South America to visit my family for Christmas, and we wanted to do something for the people who live in extreme poverty there.” That initial Shoes for Souls campaign successfully disbursed 3,600 pairs of shoes to impoverished children in the coastal town of Berrugas, in the city of Medellin, and in the surrounding islands of Colombia. A donation of only $5 can buy a pair of shoes for a Colombian child, and 100% of the donation goes towards the shoes. In addition, the disbursed shoes are all manufactured in Colombia, thus helping that country’s economy and employment. Shoes for Souls also works with the Emiliani Project, a Medellin-based nonprofit organization that houses and educates orphaned and abandoned children. As an added bonus, Clara proclaimed, “We are very proud that all of our shoe distributions have been done face-to-face with each child. It is such a big accomplishment to be able to convey to the children and their parents that this is a gift of love from the USA, and we feel it has been received as such. At Shoes for Souls, our motto is ‘saving lives one step at a time.’” Because her husband is a pilot who travels all over the world for work, Clara frequently accompanies him. She admitted, “My favorite hobby is traveling, and we have met fascinating people from all over. We are also scuba divers and many of our dives are done in remote and very impoverished areas.” Always considerate of helping those less fortunate, Clara added, “Maybe in some of our future travels we can also do some Shoes for Souls campaigns in those local areas!” ¢ Name: Community: Volunteer Affiliation: Profession: Family: Hobbies: Group: Mission: Email: Website:

The Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation (CLAF) is a nonprofit organization with the goal of managing funds to support the City of Carlsbad’s library and cultural art facilities and programs. Russell and Betty Benson were Carlsbad residents who donated funds to nearly 20 local nonprofits through their trust. Betty was an elementary school teacher and Russell was a math professor at CSU Fullerton. Their longtime friend and neighbor Molly Parsons explained the couple’s love of reading, “[Betty] always had a stack of books and loved trading books with her friends. She and Russell shared a love of reading.” When asked about the donation Library & Cultural Arts Director Heather Pizzuto said, “This donation is a wonderful example
of the significant role libraries have in enriching the lives of our community members. The fact that the Bensons chose to recognize the importance of libraries through this donation is meaningful beyond words. Through this donation, their love of reading and libraries will live on for generations.” For more information visit www.carlsbadlibraryandartsfoundation.org or www.carlsbadlibrary.org. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
SPRING
SUNSHINE
Lic # 481870 SINCE 1977
Brings energy saving
N
ow that the lovely weather has reminded you of the arrival of spring, there are a few ideas worth considering besides spring cleaning. We are all aware that increasing energy costs, legislation, decommission of San Onofre (estimated at $4.4 billion), and warming weather trends are causing substantial increases in residential utility rates. And we well recall how much our utility bills can be at the height of the summer. However, as a homeowner you can empower yourself by taking advantage of programs available in San Diego. The Home Energy Renovation Opportunity Program (HERO) allows homeowners to apply for low-cost loans making energyefficient, renewable energy products more affordable. HERO provides 100% financing at low interest rates, flexible payment terms, and repayments through your property taxes. The HERO
WITH 38 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY, NATURAL ENERGY HAS INSTALLED MORE SOLAR THAN ALL OTHER LOCAL COMPANIES COMBINED loan stays with the property even if it is sold and payments may be tax deductible, lowering the effective interest rate. Now that you have empowered yourself, consider solar energy for your home. Why all the interest in solar? Solar panels are popping up on roofs all over the neighborhood. What do your neighbors know that you don’t? It is undeniable that we all pay the proverbial sunshine tax to live in beautiful San Diego. Why not take advantage of such an abundant, clean, renewable energy source? Installations continue to boom and solar is more affordable than ever. According to Solar Energy Industries Association, (SEIA) this is because “since the third quarter of 2010, the average price of a photovoltaic (PV) panel has dropped by 63%.” Your neighbors also know that the federal solar tax credits end next year, and in addition to the HERO program, there are attractive finance and leasing programs with no money down for solar installations. They may also know that Natural Energy is the leading company in San Diego for solar. With 38 years in the industry, Natural Energy has installed more solar than all other local companies combined and offers solar PV systems made right here in the United States. Consider Natural Energy for your solar energy needs and go solar now! ¢ 44 • 0810Magazine.com • March | April 2015

age Creek High School’s (SCHS) recent celebration of Hoopcoming Week was a slam dunk. Every year the school’s unique version of homecoming is centered around their basketball teams. This year’s celebration week consisted of a variety of school spirit activities and events in the Arabian Nights theme, including movie night featuring Aladdin, dress-up spirit days, a basketball tournament, a pep rally, a tailgate party with food and live music, and a Hoopcoming parade and dance. The week also included SCHS basketball games against LCCHS which included a halftime show featuring a performance of a scene from the school’s upcoming musical production of Grease. The girls basketball game featured the announcement of Hoopcoming Prince and Princess of the freshman and sophomore classes as well as a performance of a choreographed dance by the Hoopcoming Court. The week proved to be a wonderful chance for students to come together and celebrate their pride in the unique traditions of SCHS. ¢

BEAUTY
IN BLOOM
Discover Flora, Fauna, and Fun at Local Botanical Gardens by LAINEY KRAL
W
ith the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer, spring is the perfect time to explore the natural beauty in our backyard. San Diego is home to a varied collection of botanical gardens, bringing together native plant life with blooms from around the world. From orchids and butterflies to cacti and succulents, our local botanical gardens have a special something to share with everyone in the family.
Formerly known as the Quail Botanical Gardens, the San Diego Botanic Garden has been a colorful fixture in Encinitas for over 50 years. The sprawling garden features trees, flowers, and other plants from all over the world. Visitors can journey from the dragon tree grove of the Canary Islands to the cork oak trees and irises of the Mediterranean – or learn more about local history along the Native Plants and Native People Trail. Kids will enjoy the Hamilton Children’s Garden with a mountain stream, elephant foot tree forest, and tree house to explore. Nearby is the Bird and Butterfly garden, filled with flowers planted especially to attract our feathered and fluttering friends. Visit the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens to experience a unique blend of art and nature. With the goal to “Bring Together People, Nature, and Art,” the gardens showcase a stunning range of international and local plants as well as unique artistic pieces integrated into the garden layout. Alta Vista Botanical Gardens accepts artwork on a consignment basis,

including sculptures, walkways, and walls created by talented local artisans. The site also features the California Natives Garden, Children’s Garden, and Antique Rose Collection along with a variety of culinary and medicinal herbs. One of San Diego’s best-preserved cultural landmarks also hosts many of the city’s horticultural treasures. Balboa Park is home to over a dozen beautiful gardens, including the Casa del Rey Moro Garden, the Children’s Ethnobotany Garden, the Japanese Friendship Garden, and the Rose Garden. And overlooking the Lily Pond and Lagoon is the park’s iconic Botanical Building. The impressive lathwork structure – one of the largest of its kind – houses over 2,000 cycads, ferns, orchids, and more. A touch-and-smell garden lets visitors interact more closely with chocolate mint, lemon mint, and other unusually aromatic plants. Be sure to point out the carnivorous pitcher plants and Venus fly traps to the kids! ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
How Does 2015 Compare to 2014 So Far? by GLENN HOLTZ & TANYA GABRIELLA
S
o now that we are a couple of months into 2015 we are already getting questions about how this year looks. We noticed a significant shift in interest right after the first of the year. We received calls from past clients looking to sell their homes and purchase new homes, buyers who have been on the fence about purchasing who are now serious and investor clients looking to purchase more rental properties. This had us looking at the economist predictions for 2015. PropertyRadar’s December Real Property Report stated, “Despite a tepid year, the California housing market stayed in line with 2014 predictions and hopefully set the pace for a better 2015.” Director of Economic Research for PropertyRadar Madeline Schnapp said in a recent article, “As we predicted early in 2014, sales volume stayed near seven-year lows throughout 2014 because prices rose too far too fast in 2012 and 2013.” She also mentioned in the same article, “Although prices are likely still too high, 2015 may fare slightly better thanks to mortgage interest rates trending lower and loosening lending standards.” We noticed that our clients now have positive equity in their home as opposed to the negative equity some had. This allows
homeowners to refinance their homes and take advantage of the incredible interest rates. We love to see our past clients’ home values back to a positive place. We feel that this year is going to be a great year! If you are interested in taking advantage of the rewards of owning a home, contact us right away. Let’s plan for the future now. We look forward to hearing from you! ¢
