:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Publisher Derrick Breaux Creative Director Tyler McElhaney Editor Sarabeth McElhaney editor@zcodemedia.com

Fall is in the Air

’m typically a summer guy. I like the warm weather. I like spending time out in the boat. There are the beaches, the parks, hiking, kids are out of school – it’s all good. Summer is usually my favorite time of the year. So why have I spent the last several weeks daydreaming about the arrival of fall? Quite frankly, because it’s been HOT! I guess I’m getting old. Or perhaps I’ve simply turned into a Southern California fair-weather person. Anyone that is close to me knows that I love to wear my shorts and T-shirts. In fact, that is my work attire more days than not. But let’s face it – the August heat has been ridiculous to say the least. The idea of getting back to our 72 degree average daily forecast – along with chilly nights – is quite appealing to me. I can barely wait. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that our kids are now back in school, and our home is getting back into a more realistic schedule with predictable routines. There is a simple feeling of relief that I get knowing that our kids are hard at work in the classroom and not constantly being shuttled around between play dates, camps, and sleepovers. Oh, and the retirement (for the most part) of the repetitive “I’m bored” phrase – gone! Strange how that happens. And did I mention football? Isn’t fall synonymous with football? The temperature cools down for the players on the gridiron – having Derrick DerrickBreaux Breaux played many years of football growing up, this must be by design. Publisher Publisher Whether you are a local high school football fan, a college fan, or a professional football fan, you can’t deny the excitement of the season. Fall is almost here, I’m ready for it. We have some great things planned for the magazine over the next few issues. Be on the lookout for some additional departments and special sections within the pages of 08/10 – all designed with you in mind. Thanks for your continued support. Don’t be a stranger. We always welcome feedback, photo submissions, article recommendations, and new ideas. It’s a community thing! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

SDYS Returns from China LOCAL MUSICIANS TAKE TRIP OF A LIFETIME

he San Diego Youth Symphony’s (SDYS) recent 70th Anniversary China Tour allowed advanced musicians from all over San Diego, including Carlsbad, to experience a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to participate in concerts in three Chinese cities between the end of June and beginning of July. The jam-packed itinerary took the musicians to Beijing, Yantai, and Shanghai, and though some of their time was split between rehearsing and preparing for their performances, they were also able to see famous sights and connect with the locals. They toured locations such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, Yu Garden and Bazaar, and of course the Great Wall.

Many of the SDYS students enjoyed the cultural exchange aspect of the trip as well. Local student Owen Cruise shared, “On our last day in Beijing we visited students at Beijing Music Conservatory High School. Some of my

favorite experiences with the students were experiencing the novelty of the traditional Chinese instruments and their amazing sounds. I enjoyed bonding with the students over lunch and learning about their school life.” Another student Amanda Chen commented, “The Chinese people were so warm and welcoming to us during our stay! The hospitality of the Chinese people was truly touching.” The musicians performed at the Forbidden City Concert Hall, the Poly Grand Theater, and the Oriental Arts Center. SDYS last visited China in 1981 when they had the honor of touring and performing in Canton, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. For more information visit www.sdys.org/china-2015. ¢

or Hannah Kellermeyer, moving with her family to Carlsbad from Texas wasn’t easy. “Moving here was tough for me because Texas was home,” shared Hannah, a recent grad of Carlsbad High School (CHS). “The first couple of months I didn’t want to be here.” Soon though, Hannah began playing sports and joining school clubs and her trepidation about her new home faded away. “I feel that when you put yourself out there and get involved it makes everything better,” said Hannah. This way of thinking is helping Hannah to pave the way toward a bright future while staying committed to helping others along the way. Since her move to Carlsbad, Hannah has become very involved with sports. “I played recreational soccer as a way to meet friends,” explained Hannah. “I also played

basketball at CHS for two years. It was a great bonding experience with my teammates and fellow classmates.” Hannah was honored with the Heart Award two consecutive years for being the most dedicated member of her basketball team. As another way to get involved, Hannah joined various school clubs. This past year she was president of Best Buddies, a program that pairs general education students with students with disabilities. “The club was meant to promote inclusion, break down the stereotypes that surround the disability community, and promote the end of the ‘R-word’ as a derogatory word,” described Hannah. She was also a member of the Peer Leader Uniting Students club, which was created in an effort to promote school unity. Hannah was able to travel to Europe through her participation in French Club, was a photographer for her school’s online newspaper, and was part of the National Honor Society and the California Scholar Federation for her work as an honor student. “I partook in the schools Intern Academy,” Hannah added. “The program was created to give students credit towards graduation and give them real world experience in their perspective careers.” Due to Hannah’s outstanding work, she has been recognized as Inspirational Student of the Month by San Diego County School District and was featured on a Channel 7 News segment. She was also named Volunteer of the Week by CHS. As for her future plans, Hannah plans to attend Seton Hall University in the fall. “I’ll be studying Education with a focus on Special Education (inspired by my participation in Best Buddies),” explained Hannah. “I want to join Teach for America, which will give me scholarship money in exchange for teaching in underprivileged areas.” 

:::: YOUR NEIGHBOR’S RECIPE

Ingredients Maple Pecans: 1 cup pecan pieces 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil ¼-½ teaspoons cayenne pepper, depending on taste Vinaigrette: 2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 small shallot or red onion, peeled and finely minced 1-2 garlic cloves, minced Salad: 1-2 bunches Tuscan kale, deveined and sliced into ½ inch thick ribbons to make 8 cups (also called lacinato or dinosaur kale) 1 large apple, cored, quartered, and thinly sliced ½-1 cup pomegranate seeds, if in season and desired

Directions 1.

For maple pecans: preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in small bowl and toss well. Place on parchment paper and bake approximately 12 minutes or until pecans are toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Let cool at room temperature. To make vinaigrette: Combine ingredients in a shaker bottle or small mason jar and shake or stir gently. Use different combinations of aged balsamic vinegars and extra virgin olive oils to experiment with taste. I’ve even used chocolate balsamic and blood orange olive oil with this salad. My new favorite is a little Harissa olive oil for a slight kick. Check out Humble Olive Oils in downtown Carlsbad for some great combos! Place kale in large bowl, gently massage in vinaigrette to make sure leaves have even coverage. Carefully toss with sliced apple, maple pecans, and pomegranate seeds if desired.

About the Chef Subm www.0 it a recipe at 810mag azine.c om

Chef: Elaine Bryan Family: Husband – Stewart Bryan; Daughter – Seannie Bryan who attends Chapman University in Orange, CA; Cat – Honey Community: Carlsbad resident for 30 years, but I also spend time in the Oceanside area too. I love North County San Diego! Interests: Yoga, walking on the beaches, tending to my vertical tower gardens that grow veggies and herbs in various locations around town, experimenting with different plant-based recipes About the Recipe: Kale is rich in flavonoids and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some people just don’t care for the taste, but I found with this recipe everyone loves kale! The apples and maple pecans as well as the rich balsamic vinegar take away from any bitterness some people experience when eating kale. It also helps to chiffonade the kale after destemming. These ribbons of kale soften with the extra virgin olive oil when massaged into the kale. Waiting about half an hour after putting the vinaigrette onto the kale will give it time to soften before serving. This can be served as a main meal or as a side salad. I tend to make this for many events because everyone loves it! About the Chef: I am a registered yoga teacher and nutrition counselor and I teach healthy plant-based cooking and gluten/dairy-free food prep classes. I also speak on health topics in various locations such as corporations, country clubs, chiropractic offices, and more. For the past three years, I’ve loved learning how to grow various herbs and veggies on vertical tower gardens, and love to help others do the same to conserve water and control our own plant food supply!

s captain of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, Greg Rainville serves the community on a daily basis. Away from the fire house, this Carlsbad resident is a husband, father, and for a little fun, motocross racer. Growing up in Orange, CA Greg appreciated the many outdoor activities that filled his childhood – skiing, team sports, and dirt biking. As a young man, he attended college in Fullerton and San Diego before finding his calling. “I discovered the fire service and I was all in,” Greg said. He then attended the Palomar Fire Academy and Palomar College, moving on to earn his B.A. in Public Administration from San Diego State. He settled in Carlsbad with his wife, Monica, and raised his two children, Amanda and Tommy. Throughout college, family, and career, Greg has sustained his lifelong passion for riding and racing motocross. “I ride and race all over Southern California and when I’m not actually riding, I’m often getting ready for the next opportunity,” he explained. Today Greg is in his 25th year of service for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, the last 12 of those years as captain. “The reason I became a firefighter was to serve the community in a time of need, and that continues to be my objective when I arrive at the fire station every day,” Greg acknowledged. In his role as captain, he has the opportunity to lead and mentor while working in a team environment. “We have a lot of fun together, yet we also work hard to stay current on our training to best serve the needs of the public,” Greg said. In 2014 Greg utilized this training while off duty one evening at the San Diego Zoo. Greg and his wife noticed a group of people gathered around in the parking lot and found a person lying on the ground not breathing. Greg began hands-only CPR until paramedics arrived. The patient survived and Greg was later awarded the Phoenix Award, a public safety personnel award recognizing critical judgements and lifepreserving actions. “More important than receiving the Phoenix award, though, is the opportunity for community education that a story like this can provide. If through this experience I can inspire community members to learn handsonly CPR or ‘sidewalk’ CPR, then more lives can be saved in the future,” Greg acknowledged. 

A Passion for Broadcast Journalism

CHS STUDENT ATTENDS THE PBS STUDENT REPORTING LABS SUMMER WORKSHOP photo by Doug Green

arlsbad High School (CHS) student Sydney Payne recently spent a week in Washington, D.C. attending a workshop sponsored by PBS Television’s Student Reporting Labs. The program gave Sydney the opportunity to work with and learn from broadcasting professionals from around the country. When asked about her experience Sydney shared, “During my junior year, I applied for the PBS Student Reporting Labs Academy. I submitted a one-minute video based on my experience and a questionnaire regarding my work. A couple weeks later I was notified I was one of the 18 students chosen! My favorite part was gathering with different students from all over the country with the same passion. I made many connections and learned so much that I can now use to improve my skills.”

Sydney also previously worked with CHSTV to executiveproduce a film for PBS NewsHour called “The New Safe – Inside the Battle for School Security.” Sydney explained, “Along with three other CHSTV students, I wrote, reported, filmed, edited, and produced a short documentary regarding school safety, which then aired on the PBS NewsHour to a million-plus viewers. As I watched my documentary on national television, I had never felt so honored and proud.” With achievements such as these, it is clear that Sydney is well on her way to achieving her goal of a career in broadcast journalism. She shared, “Whether I’m in the control room producing or up on the anchor desk, I’m always having the time of my life. My dream job is to work on Good Morning America, and later on in life I’d like to travel and produce documentaries from all over the world.” ¢

Green Transportation Choices

The SANDAG iCommute division, which helps reduce traffic and greenhouse gas emissions through commuter assistance and employer services, recently recognized 33 local employers for embracing and encouraging green transportation choices, including Carlsbad-based companies such as Dudek, Legoland California, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Sempra Energy was also recognized for their efforts. The 2015 iCommute Diamond Awards were granted during a special breakfast reception at SANDAG. The Diamond Awards program is based on a points system, and participating employers receive points based on employer involvement, Corporate Challenge participation, and shifts in employee commute choices. The program educates employers on how to promote and implement transport alternatives like carpooling, walking, biking, taking public transit options, telecommuting, or compressed workweek schedules. All of these options help reduce the number of cars on San Diego’s roads, contributing to a shorter commute for everyone and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The State Beach Classic, an annual surf contest put on by the State Beach Locals Surf Club (SBLSC), attracted surfers and nonsurfers alike to Tamarack Beach earlier this summer. The contest was created to give back to Carlsbad and as a tribute to local professional surfer Banning Capps, who died in 2000. For the past four years SBLSC has selected the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC) to be one of the beneficiaries of the event and this year they were able to raise $2,800. Event organizer Phil Antonopoulos said, “We are always excited to produce this annual event, but the best part is knowing that the money we raise goes to such a good local cause. The BGCC impacts so many kids’ lives with their amazing programs and we are proud to donate our proceeds to them.” The contest allows all ages, genders, and skill levels to compete. The State Beach Cup was awarded to Carlsbad’s own professional surfer Gabe Garcia. For more information visit www.statebeachclassic.com or www.bgccarlsbad.org.

An Urban

OASIS The San Diego Botanic Garden Connects People with Plants from Around the World

26 • 0810Magazine.com • September | October 2015

ince the days it was known as Quail Botanical Gardens, the San Diego Botanic Garden has helped people develop a respect and appreciation for nature. The Garden aims to create programs, volunteer opportunties, and overall memorable experiences for those who seek to be surrounded by floral, fauna, and fun. From family fun nights to fall festivals to giant tortoises, the Garden has something for locals of all ages. We speak with President and CEO Julian Duval about the Garden’s mission “to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature,” and we provide a look at upcoming projects for this beloved botanical garden.

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography San Diego Botanic Garden is a beautiful garden oasis nestled on 37 acres in the midst of Encinitas. More than 4,000 different species of plants are found throughout the Garden including endangered, unique, and native plant species. “Thanks to our mild Southern California climate, plants from all over the world thrive here. Our diverse topography provides a wide variety of microclimates, giving visitors the sensation of strolling through a tropical rainforest or hiking in the high desert. Four miles of trails wind through 29 themed gardens, including two specially designed for children – the acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden and Seeds of Wonder,” stated Julian Duval, President and CEO. The mission of the San Diego Botanic Garden is to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature. Each of the garden areas is unique and provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the plants as well as learn about the flora that surrounds them. For example, the Tropical Rainforest area includes a spectacular waterfall set amidst a lush rainforest and shady green paths, while the Landscape for Fire Safety Garden is an area where guests can learn about fire-safe plants, landscape design, and maintenance. In addition, guests can explore the Bamboo Garden, which houses the nation’s largest collection of bamboo, some of which is enjoyed by the giant pandas at the San Diego Zoo!

Deep-Rooted History

Education and Events

Agricultural development of what is now the San Diego Botanic Garden began in 1917 when Donald Ingersoll and his family built a home on the property. In the 1940s the property was sold to Ruth and Charles Larabee. In 1957 Ruth Larabee donated 26 acres to San Diego County with the stipulation that the property remain a haven where people could enjoy and learn about plants and wildlife. The Quail Botanical Gardens Foundation Inc. was formed in 1961 and 10 years later Quail Park – as the Garden was previously known – was opened to the public. In 1993, due to budget constraints San Diego County withdrew its staff and support from what was then called Quail Botanical Gardens. San Diego Botanic Garden is now managed by the QG Foundation which consists of a board of trustees, a professional staff of about 30 people, and many dedicated docents and volunteers.

San Diego Botanic Garden provides classes, tours, and events for visitors to connect with the natural world around them. Birdwatchers gather together once a month on Monday mornings at 8 a.m., docentled tours occur every Saturday morning, and special group tours can be booked in advance. Classes are also offered in a variety of subjects, from planting a vertical garden to creating beautiful wreaths made from succulents. Visit www.sdbgarden.org/classes.htm for the most up-to-date schedule of classes.

Throughout the year the Garden offers a wide variety of interactive, fun, educational, and family-friendly events. During the recent summer months families were invited to enjoy some outdoor fun at Thursday Family Fun Nights. “By far our most popular event and annual gift to our community is Garden of Lights. This year the event will take place from Dec. 5 through 23 and Dec. 26 through 30 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.,” said Duval. “In addition to the events put on by the Garden, many private special events take place on the grounds of the Garden. Areas of the Garden can be rented for events such as children’s birthday parties, holiday celebrations, and weddings. Our Gazebo Lawn, Walled Garden, and Waterfall Deck areas are very popular among brides and grooms.”

“We all live in increasingly urban environments. It was so different when the Larabees lived here in a house that was less than 1,000

“We are particularly pleased about our partnership with Employment and Community Options in providing a coffee snack

when we do take the time to visit a place like the San Diego Botanic Garden. I am convinced that all of us humans desire a connection with the rest of the living world that goes beyond our dependence on the real world in providing the essential air, water, and food we depend on. The Garden is truly a place of rejuvenation for everyone. Knowing this we made the Garden free of charge for a month after the tragedy of 9/11,” said Duval.

Fauna Among the Flora Spaces such as the Garden are also important natural habitats for native wildlife, including year-round, wintering, and migrating birds. “The Garden is considered a local birdwatching hotspot. In 2014 nine new bird species were sighted at the Garden. To date 136 different birds have been spotted including the varied thrush, yellow-breasted chat, purple finch, white pelican, black-and-white warbler, and the crested caracara,” stated Duval. Children and adults alike also enjoy seeing the Garden’s namesake birds – the quail – that live on the property and have their own enclosure in Hamilton Children’s Garden. In the spring visitors will often see mama and papa quail wandering through the Garden with up to a dozen “cheepers” (babies) following close behind. Visitors can also see crows and red-tailed hawks circling overhead and, on most days, a pair of mallard ducks can be spotted on the property. In addition to birds, the Garden is home to many lizards, rabbits, squirrels, and frogs. Perhaps the most famous animal on the grounds is Sam, the Galapagos Tortoise. Sam, who has a special history with Duval that dates back nearly 50 years, is a therapy animal for special needs individuals. Duval has many stories of how Sam has helped people over the years. One particularly heartwarming tale stands out among the others. “As Julian was sharing Sam with a group of autistic youngsters, his wife saw one nonverbal young man standing back, away from Sam. When she let this young man know that Sam is shy and also doesn’t talk, it made a connection with this autistic youngster that gave him the courage to approach Sam and become his friend,” related Lisa Reynolds, Public Relations and Marketing Manager at the Garden. Though Sam is not currently on display for the general public, he can be seen in his enclosure by visitors taking in the stunning ocean view from the Overlook Natural Area. It is hoped the Sam can be available for special events and engagements in the future.

Connecting with the Community As a part of the Garden’s overall mission to connect plants with people, employment and volunteer opportunities are offered through two organizations for local North County adults who are developmentally challenged. Through Advanced Options, volunteers help clean the signs that are located throughout the Garden and perform general clean-up work in Hamilton Children’s Garden each Wednesday afternoon. Through Community Interface Services, volunteers assist with general upkeep in several of the 29 garden areas every Wednesday. Most recently, the Garden has contracted with Employment and Community Options. The contract with this organization will allow several high-functioning special needs individuals to serve food and beverages at a coffee cart adjacent to the gift shop. Duval also recognized the County of San Diego’s partnership and their most recent $20,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant, which is funding the new refreshment area. “We are grateful to Supervisor Dave Roberts and our friends at the County for their generous support, which will enable us to add this much-needed amenity to the Garden, including tables, chairs, and signage, as part of the Live Well, San Diego initiative,” said Duval.

Making a Difference at the Garden According to Duval, volunteers of all kinds are essential to the operation of the Garden. There are many different areas for individuals who are interested in volunteering to donate their time, energy, and special skills. “Volunteers can serve as ambassadors in our Welcome Center, work as sales representatives in our Garden Shop, or utilize their skills in any of our departments including membership, development, accounting, operations, marketing, or events,” said Duval. Opportunities are also available for local residents to become docents and lead tours for classes, visitors, and VIPs, or to become a trustee and help guide the vision of the Garden into the future.

im Riley and Katherine Van Dusen Randazzo are both Carlsbad residents. Katherine and her husband made the move to Carlsbad about four years ago to be closer to her 98-year-old mother. “This area has the best weather and the best proximity to shopping and dining,” gushed Katherine. Tim, on the other hand, has lived in the community for 30 years and he loves Carlsbad for “the diversity of people and the ability to be outdoors all year long.” But living in Carlsbad isn’t the only thing these two have in common; they are also both passionate about volunteering for a local nonprofit group called Voices for Children – an organization that Group: Mission:

recruits and trains volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) to represent and advocate for San Diego’s foster children. “I found out about CASAs while at jury duty," recalled Tim. "The mystery of being handed a case and walking into the life of a complete stranger and helping them navigate their way to a goal that you tease out of them is the most exhilarating and rewarding thing I have ever done.” Tim explained that his role as a CASA is to be a “fact-finder” and an “extra set of ears and eyes” for the overseeing judges. “The classroom and online training was comprehensive and practical and prepares you for what to expect,” he

elaborated. Before volunteering as a CASA, Katherine had thought about being one for many years. “One of my abiding passions is helping abused and neglected children,” shared Katherine. “When I finally reduced my work hours enough that I could make this commitment, I looked up the organization and called to start.” She added that her primary role as a CASA is looking for ways to get her case child what she needs. “A CASA is a person the child can trust to stay with her through thick and thin,” noted Katherine. Both Tim and Katherine admit that volunteering as a CASA does not come without its fair share of

obstacles. “Developing the initial trust and building a relationship in the beginning is challenging,” said Tim. “Overcoming bureaucratic and other obstacles that stand in the way of realizing the dependency court’s mandate of acting in the best interests of the child,” added Katherine. But these volunteers also agree that the rewarding aspects of the job far outweigh its challenges. “While the youth clearly benefits, the rewards that come back to the CASA are huge,” said Tim. “It is easy for the child to fall through the cracks of the system,” stated Katherine. “Seeing that you have really made a positive difference in the child’s life is extremely rewarding.” 

Voices For Children Voices for Children transforms the lives of abused children in San Diego County by providing them with volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). They believe that every child deserves a safe and permanent home, and to that end will review and monitor every court file in the system, provide a CASA to every child in the foster care system who needs one, and advocate to improve the lives of San Diego County’s foster children. www.speakupnow.org 858-569-2019 info@speakupnow.org volunteer@speakupnow.org

Soothe Your Lower Back EIGHT TIPS TO AVOID BACK PAIN If you’ve been laid low by a sore back, you have plenty of company. About 80 percent of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives, making it the second most common pain condition in the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health.

by SHANTU PATEL, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Vista

Include core-strengthening exercises to develop stronger abdominal muscles, which also protect your back by providing greater support. Yoga can be especially helpful because it promotes deep breathing and relaxation as well as emphasizing stretching and muscle strength. Stay away from sit-ups, leg lifts, and toe touches if you have chronic back pain. Watch your weight. Extra pounds can make back pain worse by shifting your center of gravity and putting strain on back. Stay away from high heels.

While back pain has many causes and manifests in different ways, from a dull ache to a sharp pain, the good news is that most lower back pain gets better within a few days or weeks. Try these eight tips to strengthen your back and prevent pain. Get moving. You may think staying still and resting is the best remedy for a sore back, but regular physical activity eases inflammation and muscle tension. Low-impact exercise such as walking or swimming increases strength so your back muscles function more efficiently.

Don’t smoke. Smoking increases the risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to a weaker spine and subsequent back pain. Sleeping position matters. If you can, avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, since these positions add additional strain on your lower back. If you do sleep on your back, try putting a pillow under your knees for more support, and if you have to sleep on your stomach, place a pillow under your hips. Your doctor can help advise you about the best sleeping position if you have questions.

Lift with proper form. You have probably seen pictures or graphic representations of the best way to lift items to prevent straining your back. Always bend at the knees to pick up something, with your feet shoulder-width apart, rather than bending at the waist to reach down to the object with your arms. Holding the object close to your body, slowly straighten your legs, keeping your back straight. Avoid twisting your back in any way while lifting objects. Pay attention to posture. Standing and sitting up straight will help you avoid putting undue strain on your back. If you are sitting, make sure you have a chair with good back support and keep your knees and hips level. Never slouch or lean to the side. At work, make sure your desk and work area is ergonomically sound. Spending hours at work hunched over a desk can put undue stress on the back. Keep your feet flat on the floor and change your position regularly. If you experience back pain for more than two weeks, see your primary care doctor. ¢

The Toe Tappers

LOCAL DANCE ENSEMBLE BRINGS JOY TO CARLSBAD

ith performances such as their recent appearance at Carlsbad by the Sea’s “Roaring ‘20s” event, the local dance troupe The Toe Tappers, made up of eight tap-dancing seniors, strives to bring entertainment to the communities of North County. The group started over 30 years ago in an exercise class at a senior mobile home community. Their manager Fran explained, “Some of the members were dancers and it didn’t take long before they kicked up their boring exercise class to include tap dance, and then costumes, and then performances.” While the original members of The Toe Tappers are retired, the current dancers carry on their legacy with exciting choreography and dazzling costumes. Fran continued, “Our mission is to bring joyous entertainment to our audiences. My best memory was a holiday performance at a retirement community. Seated in the front

row was an elderly lady in a wheelchair – she smiled and danced in her chair the whole time. When I greeted her after the show she just smiled and patted my hand, but her daughter told me that the lady had owned a dance studio for years and had been a fabulous dancer. She was 101 years old! We dance for people like her.” With additional help from their

two emcees Bernie and Bob, their two music technicians Roger and Ken, and their talented web designer Ivy Hall, the Toe Tappers are always ready to share their love for dance. In addition, the group is open to new members with dance experience who are 55 to 74 years old. For more information visit www.toetappers.org. ¢

FALL

ON THE FARM

San Diego Pumpkin Patches Promise Plenty of Fun This Season by LAINEY KRAL

s the days get a little bit shorter and nights get a little bit colder – as cold as they ever get in San Diego – it’s time to enjoy the opportunities of autumn. Perhaps nothing symbolizes fall festivities as much as the pumpkin. Whether carved and lit as a jack-o-lantern, baked into a pie, or simply displayed for the holidays, this round orange squash is a critical component of the season. Throughout the month of October, local farms will open up their gates to welcome families eager to pick out their own. San Diego offers a wide variety of pumpkin patches, with something to suit any family’s idea of a perfect autumn day. There are corn mazes, bounce houses, hayrides, train rides, and tasty fall treats. Most are open to the public from late September through Oct. 31 – check out the farms’ websites for detailed hours and available activities. Those who are interested in a simpler, purely pumpkin-oriented experience might want to visit Lavender Hill Pumpkins in Fallbrook. Lavender Hill offers 35 different varieties of pumpkins, squash, and other gourds to pick straight from the vine, ranging

in size from the miniature Munchkin to the North Atlantic Giant. You can find organic pumpkins at Suzie’s Farm, where visitors can take a guided tour of the whole farm in addition to picking their own pumpkins. Farm Stand West has a produce stand with delicious seasonal offerings. If kids or parents want to get to know some four-legged farm folk, a number of pumpkin patches also have petting corrals. Try Bates Nut Farm, Mountain Valley Ranch, or Oma’s Pumpkin Patch for an up-close experience. Pumpkin Station Farms in Bonita and Rancho Bernardo let visitors learn about the farm animals, and kids can saddle up for a pony ride at Bates Nut Farm and Peltzer Farms. The latter also has pig races to cheer on. ¢

Carlsbad Youth Gets His Wish

MAKE-A-WISH REVEALS BACKYARD MAKEOVER FOR LOCAL TEEN photos by Trevor Stolebarger

local 14-year-old Carlsbad resident named Reagan recently saw his wish for an organic backyard makeover come true thanks to local community support and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Reagan has many dietary restrictions due to Crohn’s Disease but will now be able to grow his own organic fruit and vegetables and enjoy a peaceful garden setting in his own backyard. Over 50 community volunteers and generous donors from local landscape organizations contributed over 300 hours of manpower to create the backyard oasis that includes raised organic garden beds, a composter, tower plant garden and fruit trees, drought-resistant ground cover and landscape, and a custom-built koi pond and fountain. Reagan helped to design the garden himself, but didn’t see the final product until he returned home from his wish day at Balboa Park, where he was able to enjoy the botanical gardens. When asked about the results of his garden design Reagan said, “It exceeded my expectations!” His mom added, “It was the best day of our lives.” Make-A-Wish San Diego enriches the human experience with

hope, strength, and joy by granting the wishes of children with lifethreatening medical conditions in San Diego and Imperial Counties. The goal is to come into a child’s life during a difficult time and provide a much-needed break from the daily challenges they face. Since its inception in 1983, the San Diego chapter has granted nearly 3,500 wishes for local children. For more information call 858-707-9474 or visit www.sandiego.wish.org. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS

t e g d u B On a

BUDGET-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS TO TRICK OUT YOUR HOUSE THIS FALL

by RANDI CANTRELL

lthough the warm weather of the San Diego summer still lingers into September, the start of fall is quickly approaching, and with it the fun of preparing for all of the upcoming seasonal traditions and holidays. Halloween will be here before we know it – bringing festive décor and props such as spooky spiders and supernatural ghouls to your neighborhood – but all of that preparation doesn’t have to break the bank. Scare up your crafting skills and get into the spirit by using these tips to create your own one-of-a-kind Halloween decorations.

Front Door Mummy

Have some left-over white streamers from a recent birthday party or family celebration? Put these to good use by taping the paper streamers to your front door in strips, making sure to overlap the layers for a wrapped look. Next take some white and black construction paper and a pair of scissors. Cut two large white circles and two smaller black circles to make eyes for your mummy and secure them to the door by taping them to the paper streamers. Another option is to use black streamers to create a monster completely from your own imagination!

Ghost Lanterns

Recycle old gallon milk jugs and light the way to your door for trick-or-treaters with ghosty lanterns. Rinse out an empty gallon milk jug until it is completely clean, then draw on a spooky face with a black permanent marker such as a Sharpie. From there, cut a small hole in the back of the jug, drop in some white holiday

lights, and plug your new creation into an outdoor outlet to give your lantern a ghastly glow.

Glowing Eyes

Add some mystery to your front yard foliage by creating glowing eyes from used cardboard tubes such as toilet paper or paper towel rolls. Just make eye-shaped cuts out of the cardboard, place a glowstick inside the tube, and tuck it away into the bushes along your front walkway. To achieve a more haunting effect, make a bunch of different sets and scatter them throughout the bushes and trees in your yard.

Paint Your Pumpkin

Let out your inner artist and take a less-traditional approach to pumpkin decorating this year with paint or glitter. While you’re at the pumpkin patch, look for one that’s a good shape without too many bumps, cuts, or soft spots, as these will make painting more difficult. Also check to

38 • 0810Magazine.com • September | October 2015

make sure that the bottom is flat enough to allow the pumpkin to sit up straight. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry it completely before you begin. Next, decide whether you’ll be painting the whole pumpkin or just a small part of it. If you’re planning to completely cover it in paint, do this in stages to allow the paint to dry in between. Acrylic paints work best, but feel free to embellish your masterpiece with glitter or props such as a hat or costume jewelry.

Window Silhouettes This classic decor idea is simple and quick, but still adds a lot of flair. Pull together some black construction paper, a pencil, some scissors, and tape, and get to work tracing your favorite Halloweeninspired shapes – think bats, black cats, spiders, or skeletons. Once you’re ready, carefully cut out your design and adhere it to your window with tape. When it’s dark outside but your lights are on, the shapes will create spooky silhouettes for your neighbors to enjoy.

Carlsbad Citizens of the Year

LOCALS TAFFY CANNON AND FRANK WHITTON HONORED FOR SERVICE TO CITY

ongtime volunteers Taffy Cannon and Frank Whitton were recently named Citizens of the Year by a committee of local residents in recognition of their dedication to improving Carlsbad through outstanding service. When Taffy Cannon and her husband William Kamenjarin moved to Carlsbad in 1990 she joined the Friends of the Library and eventually became president of the group for three terms. She served on the board of the organization for 25 years and helped to raise an estimated $1.5 million dollars for the library through book sales. When the Carlsbad City Library opened in 1999 she established a new bookstore, which she still manages today. Taffy also served as a founding member and chair of the Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation, assisted in libraries at local schools, and was active on local PTA boards. In 2003 she was given the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Volunteer Award for 4,000 hours of service.

A retired Marine and Vietnam veteran, Frank Whitton has served Carlsbad since moving to the city in 1996. His most recent contribution to the city was creating the Carlsbad Fire Department Foundation (CFDF), which has raised almost $100,000 in donations in less than a year. The CFDF’s purpose is to support local firefighters by enhancing fire and rescue services and awarding scholarships to firefighters’ dependents to help them pursue their vocational or collegiate careers. Frank also served on the Carlsbad Traffic Commission, the Juvenile Justice Panel, and on the Planning Commission. The Citizen of the Year program is more than 40 years old and honors community members who have given their time and energy toward the civic improvement, beautification, and betterment of the City of Carlsbad. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

For Sale by Owner?

Here are a Few Things to Think About A

s Realtors we often hear that it really isn’t necessary to hire a Realtor to help you sell your home. Why not save the commission and sell the home yourself? Although that may be the case for some homeowners, statistics have shown that less than 10 percent of these homes actually sell. Here are two important things to think about: Do you totally understand the purchase agreement once you get an offer from a potential buyer? This is very important considering you may be agreeing to items that you don’t know you have agreed to. Also there are a lot of timelines, clauses, and contingencies you need to be aware of. As your Realtors it is our job to make sure you totally understand what the purchase agreement states and exactly what you are agreeing to. Exposure of your listing on the internet is another factor to consider. For sale by owners are limited in their online exposure as very few websites allow for sale by owners to post their homes for sale. As your Realtors we have the tools to market your home on the internet and get you as much exposure as we can. Statistics have shown that the majority of people find their future homes on the internet.

Hopefully we have given you a couple of things to think about. If for sale by owner is the route you are thinking of taking, we ask that you give us just a few minutes of your time to show you why we believe we should be your first choice for all of your real estate needs. ¢
