Household Fiscal Year?
W
Derrick Breaux Publisher
hile many businesses use a calendar year for convenient accounting purposes, I’ve come to realize that the vast majority of people actually run their homes similar to a fiscal year basis. Sure, everyone likes to gear up and prepare for the big symbolic New Year celebration, but for most families, Jan. 1 merely marks the halfway point on the annual journey of household responsibility and schedules. Shouldn’t there be a big prize waiting for each of us when we finish the year? A calendar year ending in December doesn’t seem very exciting. Kids go back to school in January – certainly no prize for most of them. Tax season is looming right after the beginning of the new calendar year. Again, not very exciting for most of us. Although technically a new year, everyone is typically still quite involved with trying to get through their fiscal year. What I mean by this is that the end of the year for most families seems to take place in June. That’s right… June is officially the end of our household fiscal year. June is when kids finish school – in fact, many kids graduate or get promoted to the next grade. It is the month that moms and dads are typically limping through the finish line donating their final volunteer hours in the classrooms (I have to admit that I’ve read a few hilarious postings about this in some of my recent social media binges). Spring sports are finishing up. The gift of warm weather is upon us. Summer must be the end-of-year prize! Although we are spoiled in San Diego and blessed with beautiful weather year round, I still love summer. Summer brings freedom for kids – I’m sure some parents may argue that it can also bring boredom. Summer is a time for family vacations, trips to the beach, outside barbeques, walks with the dog, playing outside until sunset, and creating lifelong memories. For my daughter who recently graduated from high school, summer is a time of transition. It marks the end of a huge chapter in her life and the beginning of the rest of her adult life. The start of her new household fiscal year comes with unlimited promise, excitement, uncertainty, exploration, dedication, and nervousness – all wrapped up into a couple of months. Perhaps we should all rethink the traditional New Year celebration concept. What we should all really be celebrating is a Year “End” party (in June). I see the Year End celebration as a festive event where adults get to congratulate each other for actually making it through the year in one piece. The occasion should include high fives, hugs, toasts, and perhaps, some type of victory dance. I definitely think that we might be on to something here. I hope everyone has a great summer!

Caring for Community Readers
ZCODE MAGAZINES HONORED AS SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
A
ssemblymember Brian Maienschein recently honored us here at ZCode Magazines as the 77th Assembly District’s 2014 Small Business of the Year in recognition of our ongoing commitment to the readers of our community. “ZCode Magazines has found an innovative way to bring people in our community together by showcasing local businesses, events, and residents,” Maienschein said. “I’m proud to recognize ZCode for creating a fun, community-based publication that San Diegans enjoy reading, while helping local small businesses promote themselves.” Launched in 2009, we started with one publication, 92127 Magazine, a reference to the zip code where the magazine was distributed. Since then we have grown to become the publisher of eleven zip code-specific magazines, reaching 185,000 San Diegans. Each magazine highlights unique local businesses, families, students, sports, and community events. ZCode Magazines also provides advice to local businesses on community outreach using social media, email, and custom publishing.
“On behalf of all of us at ZCode Magazines, we are honored to be selected by Assemblymember Maienschein to receive the Small Business of the Year Award,” said Derrick Breaux, Publisher and CEO of ZCode Magazines. “We work hard to serve our readers and the community that we love, and we wouldn’t be successful without them.” A family business, Breaux’s brother, Tyler McElhaney, serves as creative director and COO for our publishing company, located in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego. “Maintaining a balance of high quality design and production along with hyper-local stories and features is our biggest goal. Employing local writers, photographers, designers and sales staff reinforces our commitment to the communities of San Diego,” explained McElhaney. Each year, the California Small Business Association asks legislators to nominate a Small Business of the Year from their district that has demonstrated exemplary business ethics and community service. We were presented with a framed certificate from the State Assembly recognizing our outstanding contributions. ¢

CORNERSTONE OF THE
COMMUNITY
FIRE CHIEF MICHAEL DAVIS PROUDLY SERVES THE CITIZENS OF CARLSBAD
by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography
C
arlsbad Fire Chief Michael Davis has strong roots in the San Diego community – he is a San Diego native, received his master’s degree in public administration from San Diego State University and has lived and worked in Carlsbad for twenty-four years. He also knew from a young age that he wanted to be a public servant. “My father was a firefighter in El Cajon. He left the fire service to pursue a career with U.S. Customs. He enjoyed his work, but he loved his time in the fire department and would talk about it often,” revealed Chief Davis. Following in his father’s footsteps, Chief Davis began his fire service career as a part-time firefighter in Del Mar. According to Chief Davis, this program gives young men and women the opportunity to see if the fire service is a good career choice for them while they are simultaneously continuing their education. Needless to say, Chief Davis was hooked! He was hired by the Carlsbad Fire Department in 1990 as a firefighter paramedic, and since that time has served the community in every position within the department. He was promoted to fire captain in 2003, battalion chief in 2007, division chief in 2012 and appointed as fire chief in 2014. In this position, he leads ninety full-time fire service professionals and 130 volunteers to provide hazard emergency services. Chief Davis and his staff are dedicated to helping the community rebuild and recover from the recent fires. They are also committed to educating residents about fire prevention, preparedness and emergency response efforts. “Open spaces add so much to the beauty of our surroundings, and in many cases, these open spaces are subject to fire. Understanding the environment we live in, as well as individual preparedness, helps us recover from the Poinsettia Fire and readies us for the future,” explains Chief Davis. He also gives his sincere thanks to all fire departments in and around San Diego County for their unwavering service to all communities during the Poinsettia Fire. Although his duties as a public servant certainly keep Chief Davis busy, he makes sure to find time to spend quality time with his wife, Ingrid, and his two daughters, Paige and Maile.“My daughters are involved with many activities, such as dance, surfing and cheerleading at Carlsbad High School. Two high school girls can be a challenge to keep up with,” Chief Davis laughed. ¢

GYMNAST MORGAN DAVIS OVERCAME HER SHYNESS AND BECAME A GYMNASTICS CHAMPION by LINDA FRABL | photo by Soul of Photography
M
organ Davis, a 9-year-old 3rd grader at Carillo Elementary, proves that if you persevere and overcome obstacles in order to do what you love, then you will succeed. Winning the All-Around South State Championship for gymnastics, in addition to amassing a whopping fiftyseven first place gymnastics medals in the span of two years, Morgan had to overcome intense shyness to reach the heights she has achieved. Dawn Davis, Morgan’s mother, described the apprehensiveness her daughter experienced when she first began training at SoCal Gymnastics in the fall of 2011. Dawn recalled, “In the beginning, Morgan was so shy that I couldn’t leave the gym; I always had to be in her sight. The coaches were not so sure it was going to work out. I asked them give her a few months to get comfortable, since she is a cautious child. Then she blossomed!”

Having first been exposed to gymnastics at the age of 3 at the San Elijo Dance Academy, Morgan’s coaches soon realized she was at a level that demanded more advanced training than they were equipped to provide. It was then that she started taking lessons at the Southern California Elite Gymnastics Academy (SCEGA) in Temecula, but two years later, the twice-a-week commute proved to be too much for Morgan. At that point Morgan was considering quitting gymnastics altogether, but thankfully she took a chance on a gym just five minutes from her house, SoCal Gymnastics, and Morgan soon realized, “This is where I want to be!” The next round of gymnastic competitions will begin in January 2015 for Morgan, but in the meantime she will practice twenty hours a week to get herself in tip-top form. Eager to take on the challenge, Morgan admitted, “Gymnastics is fun, and I like that it makes me strong. I really enjoy doing flips, and my favorite event is the floor routine.” GYMNASTICS IS FUN, When she grows up, Morgan’s future goals include competing in AND I LIKE THAT IT Olympics, coaching gymnastics, MAKES ME STRONG.” the owning her own gym, and getting married and having children. When she has some free moments in her busy schedule, Morgan loves playing Minecraft, interacting with her pet dog and pet tortoise, and watching gymnastics footage on YouTube, including videos of her coach, Ashley Priess, one of her biggest inspirations. Of the latter, Morgan said, “It is inspiring seeing what other gymnasts are doing.” Soon other little girls will be inspired by watching Morgan! ¢

I have a family of athletes who want healthy meals. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I coach until 6:30 p.m. and need to have a healthy “goto” meal for my guys. These broccoli burritos have been a staple in our family since the starving student days of college. Plus they are a great summer meal for the family on the go. They travel perfectly in foil for a beach night or concert at the park. About the Chef: Fitness and youth are very important to me.

A FAMILY’S
Teamwork FOOD RITUALS AND CAROLING THAT LEADS TO TRADITIONS by SARAH HURLOCK | photo by Soul of Photography
The Husband and Wife Ron and Anna Quini met at the University of Southern California (USC). They both graduated from USC in their respective fields of business administration and physician assistant studies. During undergraduate studies, they met and their journey began. Eight years ago, the Quinis moved to the La Costa Oaks neighborhood in South Carlsbad due to Ron’s work at the Encinitas Union School District and to send their children to El Camino Creek (also because of the close proximity to the ocean). “Ron worked in the Encinitas Union School District for over eleven years; he continues to work as a consultant and a branch manager for the boys and girls club,” stated Anna. Anna worked with Kaiser Permanente as a physician’s assistant in the emergency room for over sixteen years but is currently enjoying spending time with her children.

The Quini Kids Their children, Aaron, Hannah, and Ella all participate in an array of sports and activities. Aaron, who attends Cathedral Catholic High School, is involved with baseball, cross country, and hip-hop with the San Elijo Dance and Music Academy. His sisters Hannah and Ella also are in the academy for ballet and competitive dance. Both girls attend El Camino Creek Elementary and play the violin for the Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra. You can find the parents helping out during The Nutcracker ballet. The three children volunteer frequently in the community. Aaron and Hannah volunteer at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church. Aaron also works with a youth group in St. John’s Catholic Church. Anna revealed, “All three have volunteered in Tecate, Mexico to help an orphanage.” The parents, too, volunteer. Anna teaches the Catholic Christian Doctrine to elementary children at St. Elizabeth Seton Church while Ron volunteers as a board president for the California School-Age Consortium (CalSAC). “Our family can play as a band,” explained Anna, “Aaron and I play the piano, the girls sing and play the violin, and Ron sings and plays some guitar. The kids love harmonizing, singing with five voices together. It’s pretty fun, especially Christmas caroling.” Anna also admitted, “We are foodies; we have food rituals where we usually end up finding a favorite food in different cities and make it a point to visit just to enjoy the local food. We will only have one type of gelato, Gelato Verro in Old Town, San Diego – it’s still the best.” ¢

CHANGES THERAPEUTIC LITERACY CENTER SPECIALISTS WILL FURTHER ADDRESS THE CAUSES OF LEARNING CHALLENGES WITH NEW NORTH COUNTY LOCATION by AMY LEHRER | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
hen Maria Bagby worked in schools as a reading specialist, she noticed students failed to reach their potential and remained in intervention programs year after year. She discovered why and opened the Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC) to help children thrive quickly and permanently. Traditional approaches focus on developing ways for students to compensate for their weaknesses while learning in school. Even the most innovative programs fall short when they focus on symptoms rather than causes. At the Therapeutic Literacy Center, highly trained clinicians and educational therapists identify the causes of students’ weaknesses and address them immediately so that lifetime accommodations become unnecessary. Maria
advised, “When a child is working harder than necessary, it’s time to look at why and what can be done differently and more efficiently. There is always a reason a child struggles with homework or performs poorly in school. Learning problems happen when a child’s underlying processes are not working as efficiently as they could. This can be changed.” Some of the underlying processes that may need to be developed include auditory and visual processing, neuro-timing, core learning skills and integration of primitive reflexes, memory and processing speed. As many as fifty percent of those diagnosed with ADHD have hidden auditory processing challenges that are creating issues with attention. And twenty-five percent of students have one of the seven types of dyslexia. Many of the underlying processes can be difficult to identify, but easy to fix. None of the deficits have to be permanent; they

can be corrected with therapeutic training that enables efficient learning. Any child with a learning challenge is eligible for TLC services. TLC clients include children without an identified disorder and others with IEPs, dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, attention, memory and processing issues, and auditory processing disorder. Additionally, TLC has added some evening staff members that are able to connect with families to provide one-on-one homework help for students not needing educational therapy per se, but rather some mentoring regarding how to improve their study and organizational skills. At TLC, children are individually assessed and receive individualized training in a oneon-one setting. They have access to the latest technological advances including sound therapies, deficit-specific auditory processing stimulation and training, audio-vocal training,

La Costa Canyon and Carlsbad Pop Warner Prepare to Ignite the Field This Season photos by Soul of Photography
A
ugust marks an exciting new season for both La Costa Canyon and Carlsbad Pop Warner leagues. Committed to establishing leagues that promote a lifelong passion for teamwork, trust, friendship, and commitment, both are shining examples of academic and athletic excellence in Carlsbad. Read along as we talk with La Costa Canyon Pop Warner (LCCPW) Vice President of Football Brian Reynolds, LCCPW Vice President of Cheer Michelle Altegnhoff, and Carlsbad Pop Warner (CPW) Vice President Kim Kline about upcoming events this season and how the leagues are helping Carlsbad’s youth learn important lifelong lessons, on and off the field.
August | September 2014 • 92009Magazine.com • 31
:::: COVER FEATURE
Q&A What is the history and motivation behind La Costa Canyon Pop Warner and Cheer? La Costa Canyon Pop Warner (LCCPW) has been in the area since 1960 as San Dieguito Pop Warner and is a charter member of the Palomar Conference. The association served youth who eventually attended what was then San Dieguito High School. In 2007 the association changed its name and colors to match La Costa Canyon High School, the only public high school in its service area with a football team. Many current and former National Football League (NFL) and college football players got their start in this association. The association is motivated to provide a safe place for boys and girls to cheer and play tackle and flag football.
When does the season begin? What types of programs are offered? The season begins on Aug. 1 for tackle football, flag football and cheerleading. Flag football season concludes in October, and tackle football is played through the first weekend of November, with cheer following a similar schedule, except for those looking to compete year-round in other competitions.
What ages and abilities can participate in the league? Is LCCPW a recreational or competitive league? Boys and girls ages 5 through 15, in good academic standing (a minimum 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale) can participate in tackle football or cheerleading. Youth ages 5 through 7 can participate in flag football. LCCPW offers different divisions based on skill level, giving everyone a chance to succeed. Similar ages range with physical or mental challenges that would not allow them to participate on a tackle football or cheer team can join in Pop Warner’s Challenger program. LCCPW is both a recreational and competitive league. All divisions below age 9 are developmental and consider recreational. At higher levels, we split teams into separate divisions: Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3, to ensure teams are playing against equal opponents. Division 1 and 2 teams have the ability to qualify for the Pop Warner Superbowl in Florida each year in December. They will play teams throughout Southern California and Arizona to represent WESCON in Florida. Our 2011 Jr. Pee Wee team advanced to Florida for the first time in fifteen years and placed third in the Nation, losing to the Superbowl Champion in the Semi Final game. Division 3 is a local recreational league, which still has great competition, but will only play teams locally for the title of Palomar Champions.
What is LCCPW’s overall mission? LCCPW is teaching the youth of Carlsbad the fundamentals of football, the meaning of commitment and the importance of sportsmanship.
32 • 92009Magazine.com • August | September 2014
with La Costa Canyon Pop Warner’s Brian Reynolds, Vice President of Football, and Michelle Altehnhoff, Vice President of Cheer
LCCPW has partnered with the NFL and USA Football to constantly evolve the game, making it a safer and a more positive experience. The success of our league is not based on the win/loss records of our teams, but the character we help build. We believe in encouraging and respecting one’s community, family, team, and self. LCCPW’s mission is to provide a learning experience for boys and girls, through football and cheer that will establish a lifelong passion for self-esteem, teamwork, trust and learning. Our vision of success is to nurture our players, cheerleaders and families in a strong sense of commitment and passion for the LCCPW community. Our core values are discipline, enthusiasm, courage and teamwork.
Can you highlight upcoming significant dates for this season? What can one expect as a participant? Practices will begin Aug. 1 with games beginning Aug. 30. We are proud to announce that we will hold the Divisional Palomar Championships on Nov. 8, which is a wonderful chance to see some of the best teams in North County San Diego play. Participants can expect practices five days a week through August and then three times a week for the remainder of the season. Games begin at the end of August and end in November. For cheer, the JAMZ camp will take place the weekend of Aug. 8., with the Palomar Conference Cheer Competition on Oct. 26. The Regional Cheer Competition will be on Nov. 22 and the Pop Warner Championship will be from Dec. 8 through 12. The JAMZ National Cheer Championship is slated for January 2015.
Tell us about your coaching staff and their professional background. What does the hiring process entail? Our coaches are carefully screened by our coach selection committee. Every coaching staff has up to ten staff members to keep the player to coach ratio optimal. The coaches all go through several courses and certifications to learn the proper way to teach tackling fundamentals. Many of our coaches played on the collegiate or professional level. Each staff must also have First Aid certified individuals, including the head coach.
How can someone go about sponsoring a team? Who are the current sponsors? LCCPW is run completely by volunteer board members, coaches and parent participation, all of which are dedicated to the LCCPW community. Your support as a sponsor can make a powerful difference as you help prepare our children to become well-rounded citizens and contributors to our community. Please email Hampton Hurt at sponsorship@lccpw.org for more information on becoming a sponsor. Our current sponsors include big corporations such as Sports Authority, Scripps Health and Dick’s Sporting Goods, as well as several local-based sponsors.
Does LCCPW hold fundraisers throughout the season? This year is a very special fundraiser. We will be raffling off two tickets to all Chargers regular season games. Tickets for the raffle are only $5 and are available for purchase by contacting secretary@lccpw.org. This fundraiser will help offset the cost of field rentals for games and practices, as well as allow the league to continually purchase new and safe equipment without raising fees. Additionally, each cheer squad can raise additional funds for their competitions on a squad level.
What are your long term and short term goals for LCCPW? Michelle Altehnhoff: My long term goal is to keep moving forward with our amazing cheer squads. We are very proud of our past squads as well as our currents squads. Many of our girls who age out of LCCPW make La Costa Canyon High School Cheer squads. Additionally, many of our girls choose to move on to All Star Competitive league and we are extremely proud that our girls make these high end teams. My short term goal for this season is to have a great time, keep our competitive spirit alive and continue to represent our community at a high level. Brian Reynolds: Our goals for 2014 is similar to our goals every year: to expose children to the benefits of cheer and football, to provide a safe and positive experience for all children enrolled and to continue to bring pride to the communities of Carlsbad and Encinitas with our high caliber teams. Our long term goals include the continuing education of our coaches, volunteers, and parents on how to provide all children enrolled with the most positive experience. We also want to continue to reach out to our communities to provide sponsorships, and to help provide the best equipment as well as scholarships for those in need.
What is the most exciting aspect about being a part of LCCPW? Michelle: The girls’ progression as the season goes on is just inspiring. Watching them get more excited as the season goes on. Also, we have such a great group of families who really step up and help. It really is the LCCPW family. Brian: There is nothing quite like watching a group of boys – who are virtually strangers at the beginning of the season – finish it as part of a brotherhood. They take on a new form as they each raise their level of play. Year after year we watch boys come onto the field with their head hanging and by mid-season they have a newfound sense of confidence as they mentally and physically tackle their challenges. Football is a true team sport of skill, strategy and hard work.
What are you looking forward to the most in regards to this upcoming season? Michelle: Personally, as a coach, to see the overall growth of our cheerleaders. Many have been working very hard in the off-season on their gymnastic skills and jumps. We also have many new girls who have joined
us this year and it’s always a great expereince to witness their growth over the course of the season. Brian: I have one son who will be competing in his last year of Pop Warner before moving on to high school. He has played since our youngest division, Mitey Mite. It will be bittersweet as I watch him suit up for one last season, while I still watch my youngest son embrace the game and improve each week. The boys of Pop Warner all have one thing in common: they know that hard work always pays off.

:::: COVER FEATURE
Q&A What is the history and motivation behind Carlsbad Pop Warner and Cheer? When does the season begin? What types of programs are offered? Carlsbad Pop Warner (CPW) was started by a group of active parents in the middle of the 1970s to provide a safe and instructional environment for local boys and girls to play tackle football and be cheerleaders. Those people felt that Pop Warner was far superior to other national youth tackle football organizations in that it stresses safety in all aspects of the game, including proper tackling techniques, trained and certified coaches, properly fitted helmets and shoulder pads, and players and teams divided and separated by age and weight. Pop Warner also stresses playing the game the “right way” – good sportsmanship, leadership, etc. That same philosophy continues today as CPW is one of the leading associations in San Diego County. CPW teams are highly successful in local, regional and national competition. They even sent off a team of 10 and 11-year-olds to the National Championship in Florida a few years back. Moreover, CPW acts as a direct feeder into the local high school football programs – primarily Carlsbad High School (CHS). In any given year, the CHS football roster is full of CPW alumni who form the core and leadership for teams that annually compete for CIF Championships. The offical season begins Aug 1. We offer flag football, tackle football, cheer, and the Challenger program.
with Carlsbad Pop Warner’s Kim Kline, Vice President
the opportunity to attend a one day JAMZ Cheer Camp where they learn basic cheerleading skills, safety, and participate in team building activities. In addition to cheering at football games, all cheer teams participate in cheer competitions. Flag and Mitey Mite divisions are exhibition performances. All other divisions compete for the opportunity to advance to Regionals and Nationals. In the past CPW has sent several cheer teams to the National Cheer Competition at Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
Tell us about your coaching staff and their professional background. What does the hiring process entail?
Carlsbad Pop Warner strives to help young people achieve their goals through sound leadership and commitment to academic and athletic performance. These youth are the cornerstone of our future. We take pride in guiding these young people through their journey with our football and cheer programs that CPW provides. A safe and memorable experience for our players and cheerleaders is, and always will be, our number one priority at CPW.
First off all, all of our coaches are volunteers. All have full time jobs in other industries. Some are lawyers, realtors, police officers, construction workers, sales associates, coaches – you name it, we probably have it in our organization. We have an application and interview process that all coaching candidates go through. All of our coaching staff, as well as board members, submit to a background check as well. Coaches applying for a spot on a football or cheer team are required to attend and complete training for their respective sport. The focus is on safety, while making the experience fun and rewarding for all participants. There is also a minimum requirement of two CPR/First Aid certified staff per team.
Can you highlight upcoming significant dates for this season? What can one expect as a participant?
How can someone go about sponsoring a team? Who are the current sponsors?
Aug. 1 is the first day of practice. As a participant once Aug. 1 arrives, he/she can expect five practices a week until school starts. There is a lot of hard work and dedication that goes into getting ready for football season. The season officially starts Aug. 1, but coaches and kids are both working hard in the off-season to be ready for the upcoming season. We have a ten-game schedule that goes until October, starting Aug. 30. Those teams that move on into playoffs could play into December. For the cheer program, practices begin on Aug. 1 and run four days a week for two hours each day until school starts. Then practice time drops down to two to three days per week. Each cheer team is assigned to a football team and follows that team to all of their games to get the crowd excited and cheering. Each cheerleader is also given
If you would like to sponsor please contact Jen Vella at fundraising@carlsbadpopwarner.com. Some of our current sponsors are Dick’s Sporting Goods, Fortis & YOGALUX fitness center, Black Ops, OneTrust Home Loans, and United Site Services.
What is CPW’s overall mission?
34 • 92009Magazine.com • August | September 2014
Does CPW hold fundraisers throughout the season? We started off our first fundraiser in June which was our Family Fun day. On this day the kids get to meet their coaches and teammates. We have activities for the kids to participate in front of local companies like Fortis & YOGALUX fitness center and Black Ops. We also have food vendors and a DJ. We also hold an event for the parents before the season starts. We call it our Casino Night. It
gives the parents a chance to meet and mingle before the four month season gets under way. We have monthly restaurant nights at local establishments like Señor Grubby’s, Rubio’s, and Knockout Pizzeria.
What is the most exciting aspect about being a part of CPW? The most exciting part of being a part of CPW is seeing the kids grow, learn and excel. To see the excitement on their faces when they get to suit up for their first game or put on their cheer uniform for the first time is priceless. We are always excited to see the kids; it’s such a good feeling to see our football and cheer athletes come together as a team and work hard. That hard work pays off in so many ways. To see the long lasting relationships that are built every season and maintained throughout the years is amazing. This also goes for the parents as well. During those four months we all become one big family.
What are you looking forward to the most in regards to this upcoming season? One thing we are most looking forward to is hosting a Challenger game. We did this last year and it was one of the most rewarding games. Also, we are coming off a very successful season last year. We had four football teams win their divisions and move on to playoffs and two cheer teams advance to the Regional competition.
How can people go about finding out more information about CPW’s leagues, important Pop Warner football and cheer dates and more? Those who would like to learn more about CPW can visit www.carlsbadpopwarner.com or www.palomarpopwarner.com.
What are the three or four reasons participants enjoy CPW? Participants enjoy CPW because it allows them to participate in a great league, whether that be football or cheer, builds friendships that last a lifetime, helps improve confidence, and, of course, is a lot of fun. ¢

2014 Mavericks Fall Sports Preview
I
am excited for the 2014 fall season. Last fall our CIF Championship came from the women’s tennis team. They are looking to defend their Div. 2 Team Championship, as well as add some individual medals. Football will make its debut in the Brother In Arms Classic at Cathedral Catholic High School this season, taking on Corona Del Mar from the Southern
Section. Cross country looks to fill the void of several elite runners last year, but they reload every season to make a run at the league and CIF team titles. Field hockey finished strong in the semi-finals in 2014 and will look to make a run at a league title. Be on the look out for the men’s water polo team this season, as they prepare for an exciting schedule, featuring

CARLSBAD’S ANNUAL FAVORED ARTSPLASH IS MAKING WAVES IN SAN DIEGO
T
his year’s 12th Annual ArtSplash, Hats Off to Artists will once again celebrate individual creativity and expression. The two-day chalk art and entertainment festival will kick off at Armada Dr. on Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and continue through Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit arts and music programs at schools in North County San Diego. According to ArtSplash Chair Joni Miringoff, the event will feature art for all ages. Museum-quality chalk paintings created by professional artists, as well as interactive art-making for children of all ages, will be available to the public. Live music from Shokenji Taiko Vista Buddhist Temple Drummers and Next Generation Bluegrass Band are some of the performers that will provide entertainment. Additionally, delicious fare, including Saturday’s Taste@ArtSplash featuring Chick-fil-A, from 12 to 3 p.m., sand sculptures by world-renowned artist Gerry Kirk, a Sunday car show, fine art vendors, a silent auction of hand-painted palettes and other instant collectibles, will take place over the full twoday event. “And to top it off, a cheesy touch of art via Sarah Kaufman’s cheddar sculpting,” shared Joni. What a few art enthusiasts began in 2002 has now evolved into a popular event that brings in around 30,000 people and has provided funding for enriching programs in the Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Vista Unified School Districts as well as the San Dieguito Union High School District and Encinitas Union School District. To date, ArtSplash has
contributed over $50,000 to visual, performing arts and music programs for K-12 school programs. Joni elaborated, “Our modest grants prove educators and students are hungry for art. I am always impressed by the imaginative projects accomplished with a modicum of money and a wealth of creativity.” For more information on ArtSplash visit www.facebook.com/carlsbadartsplash or www.carlsbadartsplash.org. ¢

The event raised over $135,000 for both the Junior Seau Foundation, which strives to support and empower children through prevention awareness, and the Marshall Faulk Foundation, which seeks to create opportunities for children to help them succeed. Additionally, a portion of the funds were donated to support the families who lost their homes in the San Diego wildfires.

OneTrust Home Loans Combines Client Education with Loan Expediency
I
n a society marked by doing business with automated responses and long wait times, personal service can feel impossible to find. Not at OneTrust Home Loans – this local mortgage lending company is committed to exceeding client expectations. OneTrust Home Loans has been putting service first since 2008. Started by brothers Joshua and Shane Erskine, the goal was to build a company that did things a bit differently; they focused on creating a lending process with a hightech platform that upholds their commitment to customer service, transparency, and efficiency. Today, Regional Manager Kelly Kline combines OneTrusts’ focus on clients and his decade plus of lending experience to create an optimal loan experience. “OneTrust gives me the tools to ensure my clients will be well cared for, access to incredible state-of-the-art technology, an opportunity to work alongside seasoned industry leaders that understand the mortgage business, and an ability to offer competitive loan products to the Carlsbad community,” Kelly shared. Working together
with Kim Kline-Nyberg, the senior mortgage lending officer, the team is guided by the Golden Rule. “I treat all clients, coworkers, and people the way that I want to be treated: friendly, fair, welcoming, and with respect,” Kim and Kelly both commented. They understand the pressure of making mortgage decisions. “I make sure my clients are well-versed on all options available to them so they are able to make the best educated decision on one of the biggest purchases of their lives,” Kim stated. Recent challenges and changes in the lending industry have not deterred the company from fully educating clients and exceeding expectations. The team acknowledged, “We are dealing with less loan options, more regulations, and stricter underwriting credit guidelines that seem to change daily.” Kelly and Kim meet the challenge by staying true to OneTrust Home Loan’s mission “to ensure borrowers get answers in a timely manner, a person to chat with, and a process that closes their loan with unmatched efficiency and speed.”

fter Gregory Mellot retired from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), he decided that giving back to the community was just the right thing to do to keep him busy. For the last year and a half, Gregory has tirelessly volunteered for Love on a Leash, The Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy, and Hospice of the North Coast (HNC), an organization that is dedicated to helping patients and their families navigate end-of-life healthcare services. “Both organizations help so many people with varying needs from all walks of life and all ages. If I had one wish to grant to both organizations, it would be to increase public awareness of their missions,” related Gregory. When asked how he became involved with these groups, Gregory is proud to give credit to his dog, Sammy, a 9-year-old, black and white Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix. “Over the years and through the many places we have ventured together, he has consistently drawn people to him and created a lot of conversations while eliciting many smiles,” revealed Gregory. Through his volunteer work, Gregory has introduced Sammy to a broad spectrum of individuals, including children with special needs, those with Alzheimer’s or dementia in assisted living facilities, college students during stress-inducing final exams and those in hospice care. Love on a Leash and HNC are causes that are very close to Gregory’s heart, and he encourages those interested in volunteering to give the groups a call or visit their websites. “These organizations appreciate new volunteers. They also welcome donations, as they are both nonprofit groups,” stated Gregory. It is also important to note that it is because of generous donations that HNC is able to offer community-wide bereavement events and support at no cost, as well as inpatient hospice care at the first hospice house in North County. In addition to his volunteer endeavors, Gregory enjoys spending time with his wife, Phyllis, their three dogs and their extended family. “Phyllis and I have been married for twentynine years. From our previous marriages, we have three children, all of whom live in the Southern California area. We also have five grandchildren and a great-grandchild,” said Gregory. He and Phyllis also love attending plays at the Old Globe Theatre and the North Coast Repertory Theatre, taking cruises, walking their dogs at Batiquitos Lagoon and frequenting local dog-friendly restaurants, such as The Daily Bulletin and Corner Bakery Café. ¢

LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTA SUCCESSFULLY REVIVES CANCELED ART PROGRAM photo provided by Laura Bodensteiner
A
rt celebrates individual creativity and expression, and for the students and PTA at Poinsettia Elementary, that is worth fighting for. When the school’s Visual Arts program was canceled for the 20132014 year due to lack of funding, the PTA decided they needed to act. They raised funds over the summer and launched an online giving campaign, “Save Art at Poinsettia.” Their efforts were greatly rewarded, as they were able to raise $8,000 from community members, families and local businesses within two months! The Visual Arts program felt a surge of revival as it continued every other week for the first semester of the 2013-2014 school year. “We couldn’t stop there though,” said Laura Bodensteiner, Secretary at Poinsettia Elementary PTA. “We wanted to bring art back on a weekly basis.” With some more hard work, the school’s grant-writing team received a Cultural Arts grant from the City of Carlsbad and the fundraising continued. “We were able to allocate these additional funds to bring weekly art classes to our 550 students for the entire second semester,” declared Laura. The artwork produced by the school’s students was showcased at the Carlsbad City Library, the San Diego County Fair, and at the school’s first ever art show during Open House. The art piece that stood out was “The Art House,” a large collaborative sculpture made from recycled materials, which all 550 art students came together to create, a permanent structure that solidified that the arts program was to remain at Poinsettia.
“Our efforts to ‘Save Art at Poinsettia’ were so successful because it struck a chord with parents and our community. All public school students deserve a well-rounded education, including art classes that do so much to bring joy and creativity to our students. The PTA is already planning to fully support the Visual Arts program again next year, but we need all the help we can get,” said Laura.

The City has declared, “From June 1 through Oct. 31, when the weather is hotter, the public must water their landscape prior to 10 a.m. in the morning, and not until after 6 p.m. in the evening, to lessen evaporation and get the most out of their water use.” Steps can also be made to conserve water within the household. Here are some tips on how to use water more efficiently at home.
1.
Plug the sink or bath instead of running the water to rinse your razor, or wait for the water to adjust to your desired temperature.
6.
Check your hoses, faucets and appliances regularly for leaks.
2.
Use your dishwasher. Dishwashers save more water and energy than washing dishes by hand. Energy Star dishwashers are more energy efficient than older models, so they end up reducing water waste. If washing dishes by hand, scrap food in the trash before washing, plug the sink, and then wash.
3.
Avoid playing with recreational water toys that require a considerable amount of water. Try water guns or water balloons for some fun in the sun.
4.
Instead of using the hose to clean sidewalks, garages and driveways, grab a broom.
5.
Recycle water. If you drop ice cubes, or need to get rid of water you used to steam vegetables, don’t waste it. You can use the water to feed plants, or turn the excess water into a soup.

7.
Place tissues into a trash can instead of flushing them.
8.
Purchase a plastic or aluminum water bottle. It will cut down on the amount of water you waste washing glasses.
9.
Wash your car on your lawn. That way your lawn will get watered at the same time.
10.
Join a community pool instead of wasting water on a personal pool at home. ¢

CURIOSITY Point Loma's Beautiful Landmarks and Nature by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
e're deep into summer: the sun is bright, the sand is soft, and the ocean is so inviting. For what remains of your summer break, take a day to explore Point Loma, offering historical landmarks, tide pools, awe-inspiring cliffs and hiking trails.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse takes you back in time to when sailing ships relied on these beacons to guide them through safe waters. Built in 1854, its light could be seen for twenty-five miles. However, the builders didn’t take into account the signature low fog that would obscure the light, and so in 1891, the lighthouse was closed and a new Point Loma lighthouse was constructed at a lower elevation. The old lighthouse has now been converted into a museum, where you can explore what life was like there and see the old lamp whose large beam once permeated the peninsula. Below the lighthouses are a series of silent sentinels collectively known as Fort Rosecrans. The Point Loma peninsula shapes a natural barrier at the entrance of San Diego Bay, and in 1899 the United States Department of War built a series of gun batteries into the cliffs as a strategic harbor defense. While you can’t

enter the batteries themselves today, you can walk alongside these massive strongholds. Whale-watching is popular here, but head to the tide pools to see the tinier creatures that make homes on our shores. Sea stars, mussels, crabs, and other gastropods come and go with the tides. While fun to look at, rangers warn not to touch the animals, as many of them are sensitive and can be harmed or killed from being handled by humans. The tide pools are parallel to the Coastal Tidepool Trail, and more hiking can be explored on the two-mile Bayside Trail. For history hounds, the Cabrillo National Monument offers a closer look at the first explorer to land on the United States’ western shores, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With a large statue to commemorate his exploration, the park also features annual reenactments of his landing. ¢

arlsbad residents brought out their cowboy hats and pulled on their cowboy boots to attend the Annual Wild West Fest held at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. With workers in full Western gear, mechanical bull rides, a Rodeo Roper activity, pony rides for the kids, and a live Wild West performance by the Alpine Outlaws Western Group, attendees felt like they had just stepped back into the Old West. To get into true cowboy or gal character, attendees were encouraged to dress up and take photos in front of the Town Jail, take a ride on the ponies, or visit the trading post. Vendors including a Native American jewelry company were also in attendance, helping to set the good old western theme. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
What Do You Think? Advice for Buyers and Sellers
by GLENN HOLTZ & TANYA GABRIELLA
A
s we come to the middle of 2014 we have been asked by both buyers and sellers, “What advice do you have for us?” We received all different kinds of articles from many different publications, and we believe that knowledge is the best guidance. We also listen to our buyers and sellers when we spend time with them. From the information we have, we believe that interest rates will be rising gradually for the second half of the year and ending the year at about 4.4% per Freddie Mac. If you are a buyer, now is not the time to wait for the home prices to fall. Prices are still rising but at a much slower pace than a year ago. For twenty-six consecutive months the price gains have been in the double digits. Now is the time to sell! Sellers take advantage of the dip in mortgage rates now to bring more buyers to your home, and don’t be discouraged by the offers you are receiving from buyers. Most buyers are qualified to purchase more than what they are offering. Don’t become unreasonable with asking too much for your home. In most cases if you are flexible, buyers will be flexible.
Experience is key when you are deciding to purchase a home or sell your existing home. Twenty-six years of combined real estate experience is the reason why we are your best choice for all of your real estate needs. ¢
