:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 3, No. 2 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux

College Bound

Derrick Breaux Publisher

believe that milestones account for a great deal of who we are as a person. Some milestones are good. Some are not so good. One might categorize them as achievements, while others see them more as benchmarks in life. When we aren’t in the midst of experiencing a landmark life event, we are usually working our way towards it. Excitement often builds. Anticipation grows as the event gets closer. What was once so far away is now in sight. It’s very rare when a major life event sneaks up on us – but it does happen from time to time (good or bad). This month marks the culmination of a 17-year-long journey. While our family is not alone – thousands of families send their children off to college each year – it certainly feels special and unique to my small family in our corner of the world. Our beautiful and intelligent daughter is college-bound. The same little girl that we taught to ride a bike. The little girl that we began coaching in soccer at the age of four, eventually developing into a speedster that could outrun nearly every opponent down the sideline when given the opportunity. Homework assignments. Board games at the table. Long philosophical discussions about friends, boyfriends, and life in general – whether she wanted to hear what her mother and I had to say or not. We will miss this. We will miss it all. I think I might be somewhat of a selfish person when it comes to family. I don’t apologize for this. On one hand, we want her to go and begin her journey of adulthood and independence – after all, isn’t that the whole point of being a parent? Isn’t that our job? Yes, I am selfish. We will miss the comfort and joy of seeing her around the house on a daily basis. We will miss having groups of her friends (some going all the way back to early elementary school) hanging out around the house. We will miss knowing that she is safe and sound in her bedroom. We will even miss watching her sit on the couch and speed-text what appears to be dozens of people at once. We might even miss some of the sibling bickering that inevitably takes place between the younger kiddos and her. But we are very proud of her. We are excited for her. A big life event is upon her. We will help her move into her new dorm this week. As always, we will very much be a part our little girl’s new journey that she is starting. Although she will still be close to home, she will still have her independence and get the full college experience by living on campus. This is something that we wanted for her. To our daughter Ashley (a few bits of advice): Go get ‘em. Challenge yourself. Believe in yourself. Learn as much as you can, then learn more. Simply show up – it’s more than half the battle. Always finish what you start. Be your own best friend. Live with integrity. Most importantly, cherish the moment. P.S. We lightheartedly keep telling her that she can’t bring her laundry home on the weekends (they have laundry facilities in the dorms). But truth be told, doing a couple of loads of laundry on the weekends is a very small price to pay for us to ensure that she comes back home to visit regularly.

ancing, singing, and entertainment continued both on and off the stage all summer long at Carlsbad’s 29th Annual TGIF Concerts in the Parks Summer Series. A program of the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office, TGIF is a free summertime community concert series held throughout various parks in the city, attracting over 4,000 people per concert. The concerts welcomed a new assortment of bands such as country-western band Kelly Rae Band, dance cover bands Liquid Blue and The Mighty Untouchables, and blues and soul music band Mingo Fishtrap. Vincent Kitch, Arts Manager of the City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office, explained the significance of the concerts and the important role they play within the community, “TGIF brings music and family fun to the neighborhoods where people live and provides a great community forum for neighbors, kids, and people of all ages. And, with music a cut above the typical community concert series, TGIF reflects Carlsbad’s identity and community pride.” ¢

Musically Inspired Her Mother’s Death Rekindled Christine Brown’s Passion for Piano Playing by AMY LEHRER | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography

ntrigued by the sounds and depths of emotion possible, Christine Brown began playing her grandparents’ piano at age three. Lessons and hobby playing ensued before a college hiatus. Missing her playing, her mother asked for a recording shortly before passing. Christine shared, “I rediscovered my passion for playing piano; so, my gift to [my mom] was actually a gift to me. Releasing my emotions on the piano is cathartic.” Christine’s tenth CD, titled Souvenirs, arrives this fall. The CD was just nominated for Best Piano Album of the Year 2014 by Whispering Solo Piano Radio. Recently endorsed as an official Kawai artist, her new upgraded RX-7 semi-concert grand facilitated her album. Her songs are musical souvenirs returning her to a time or place with a memory or emotion attached. Her favorite songs are usually the ones most recently written, but an old favorite, “A Sunset’s Promise,” developed from a Beacon Beach sunset. Inspired by nature and her life’s ups and downs, Souvenirs “evolved from bits and pieces of music” that she “eventually put together like a puzzle.” The New Age genre origins and hearing pianist George Winston influenced Christine’s desire to create her own music, and the structure, melody and harmony of her compositions stemmed from classical training and choirs. Submitting her music to an internet radio station launched her career. Her albums, The Wishing Well (2011) and Promise (2009), were also nominated for Whispering Piano Album of the Year. Upcoming concerts include the following: Encinitas library Oct. 15, Salt Lake City Oct. 25 and Denver Nov. 20 through 23. Christine loves receiving audience feedback and finds that giving a background story about the idea behind writing each piece helps people see and feel the music rather than only hear it. “I am grateful every day that I can express myself on the piano and love being able to share my passion with others,” revealed Christine. Christine settled in Carlsbad when she and her husband decided it was the ideal place to raise their two sons, who both now attend Cal Poly SLO. Her oldest shares her interest in music, playing piano and guitar well. Even their dog Otis, a terrier mix, loves piano music. Christine revealed, “He will come into the room when he hears me playing.” While Christine enjoys spending time with her family and friends, walking her dog, cooking and reading a good book on the beach, she spends most of her time composing and playing piano. Watch for her next musical project – a children’s album. ¢ Name: Profession: Community: Hobbies: Favorite Local Spots:

NOTHING CAN GET IN THE WAY OF THIS KID ACHIEVING HIS DREAMS

Panini

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography

leven-year-old Travis Selinka has been dubbed by family and friends as “Travis the Warrior”. One look at his daily life and it’s easy to see how he got the nickname. Travis has been through a lot – he was diagnosed with brain cancer in March 2013, and then endured surgery, six weeks of radiation, and six rounds of Chemotherapy. However, this amazing kid has taken it all in stride. “I have been very blessed in so many ways and always look for the silver lining in each day,” said Travis. Today, Travis is not only cancer-free and getting stronger by the minute, but he continues to give back to the community inspiring others along the way. Travis lives in La Costa Valley with his parents, his older brother, Tyler, and his dog, Cisco. He attends El Camino Creek Elementary School, where he enjoys his teachers, friends, and walking to class everyday with Cisco. “My dog, Cisco, is like another brother to me,” shared Travis. His bond with his dog is was what motivated Travis to participate in a nationwide poetry contest called Pets Add Life, for which he wrote a poem about Cisco. “I won the fifth grade group and was awarded a $1,000 prize for my class to be used for pet-related education or support,” explained Travis. He decided to use the prize to give donations to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, San Diego Department of Animal Services, Love on a Leash, and to support the pets in his 5th grade classroom. That act of selflessness was just one of many for Travis. “My family and I belong to a group called Faith & Works,” said Travis. “We meet once a month to plan and perform service projects in our community.” As part of the group, Travis has served meals for various local charities. He has helped with landscaping projects and has assisted in fundraising. “We have also sewn clothing for the YOUME project and visited with the elderly at the Olivenhain Guest Home,” added Travis. When asked who inspires him Travis replied, “After my first Chemo treatment I participated in the Carlsbad Relay for Life. I met a Marine who had a goal of running/walking fifty miles in the twenty-four hour period. He said that whenever his legs started to hurt or he got tired, he always thought of me and what I was going through to keep him going. He met his goal.” Travis beamed, “I learned from that experience that you can reach your goals no matter how high they seem as long as you put your mind to it.” It’s clear to see that “Travis the Warrior” is nothing short of exceptional. ¢

oug and Kelly Sondomowicz were college sweethearts. Together for the last nineteen years, they’ve been married for the past eleven. Kelly taught first grade for many years at St. John’s school, and the Sondomowiczs knew they wanted to raise their children in North County. “We went to a birthday party of our daughter’s best friend and fell in love with the area,” Kelly shared. Although Kelly has traded in her teaching career to raise her children, Doug traded his college degree in criminal justice to open several restaurants. That’s right, and not just one or two restaurants, he owns three in Pacific Beach – the PB Shore Club, Duck Dive, and the PB Fish Shop – and he just recently opened Encinitas Fish Shop on Highway 101. “It is the former St. Germain’s Restaurant,” Doug explained, “a landmark on the coast.” In a surprising bit of irony, the family owns the four fish restaurants, but the Sondomowicz children are actually allergic to fish. This doesn’t stop them, though. They may not eat the fish, but 7-yearold Rylee and 5 1/2-year-old Jake love swimming with those fish – the beach (and the pool) are favorite family activities. Rylee also loves singing and soccer and is an Irish dancer with the Clan Rince School of Irish Dance. Jake plays soccer as well, along with the Friday Night Lights football program and Taekwondo. They often celebrate their amazing dance moves at frequent family dance parties. These days, a new seafaring adventure has come in the form of paddleboarding. They took it up this summer after prodding from close friends. Kelly was very unsure at first, but immediately popped up on the board and was even able to take the kids in her board. After a little practice, Rylee and Jake picked it up too. “Doug, on the other hand,” laughed Kelly, “was not as successful. He had the confidence but not the balance.” She continued, “Now when we say ‘Let’s go paddle boarding’, someone inevitably says ‘Mr. Doug always falls!’” Volunteer accomplishments include Kelly helping out with school fundraising, their healthy kids lunch program, and whatever the needs are on the campus. Doug is active with a designated driver program at local San Diego colleges called RADD. Whatever the activity, the Sondomowicz family enjoys spending time with close friends and trying new things. “San Diego is a wonderful place to explore and we love doing so,” expressed Kelly. ¢

Hooters from the Hood

TWELVE WOMEN HELP THEIR FRIEND BATTLE CANCER

ooters from the Hood is a group of twelve women walking in the Susan G. Komen three-day walk this November. The longtime friends came together in support of Karen Sebahar, who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer last summer but now in remission. Their group name originates from the fact that all members live within southern Carlsbad. “Cancer has affected us all in some way, our grandmothers, our children, our parents and when it affected Karen, our neighbor and friend, we were going to be there for her and whatever she needed,” said member Jody White. Friends first proposed the walk to Karen as she was undergoing surgery and chemotherapy treatments. The idea lifted her spirit during her battle with cancer. Now that she is in remission, she plans on participating with Hooters from the Hood. “I struggle to describe it with words, yet, I am forever changed,” Karen explained. “Because of the incredible advancements in breast cancer treatment, today I am grateful to be in full remission!” Karen has also taken an active community role. Her past activities included Carlsbad United Competitive Soccer Club management, volunteering at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, volunteering at her four children’s schools and athletics, and completing the City of Carlsbad’s eight-week C.E.R.T.

Painting Their World

EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT ENHANCES PACIFIC RIM CAMPUS

hen Carlsbad High School Senior Nathan Williams received his Eagle Scout project, he decided to contribute two geographical murals to Pacific Rim Elementary. Nathan installed a colorful world map on the Kids’ Care building. Measuring ten by twenty feet, the creation was painted on aluminum composite panels, which were mounted on the side of the building. He customized a stencil because none this size existed. The senior found and printed a world map on multiple thirty-six-inch-wide strips of paper later tiled together to create the overall image. After the map was transferred to the panels, numerous volunteers helped paint and adhere the panels to a plywood substructure mounted on the building. In addition to the wall mural, Nathan restructured a disintegrating U.S. map on the school’s playground blacktop using primary-colored traffic paint. He marked the City of Carlsbad with a sun and Washington, D.C. with a star. The project gained supporters who raised over $750 and donated $1,000 worth of materials. The future Eagle Scout spent around 180 hours on the planning, execution, and documentation of the project. He also personally organized volunteers who contributed over 200 hours. Nathan chose Pacific Rim Elementary as his project site due to his fond memories there as a student. He explained how students used to play “state tag” on the former U.S. map. Nathan is on his way to become an Eagle Scout this year with the

project complete. He is also a member of the National Honor Society and the California Scholarship Federation. Graduating in June, he hopes to be the next Carlsbad High School valedictorian. ¢

New Online Crime Reporting System

The City of Carlsbad Police Department just launched a new online crime reporting system. Crimes that can be reported online are vandalism, petty theft, hit and run auto collisions, harassing phone calls, and lost property. To report a crime online, the crime must occur within Carlsbad city limits and there must be no suspect information or evidence. If there is suspect information or evidence, an officer will need to view the crime scene. The community is not required to report crime online. “Using the online crime reporting resource is a quick alternative for community members wanting to file certain simple crime reports,” said Police Records Supervisor Delphine Fisk. For more information about this online program contact her at delphine.fisk@carlsbadca.gov.

Coastal Helix

Carlsbad’s new roundabout, located at Carlsbad Blvd. and State St., now has a 1,400-pound piece of artwork displayed for all to see. Entitled “Coastal Helix,” the art is the work of Bay Area artist Roger White Stoller, who was inspired by images of Carlsbad – the crab, heron, pelican, whale, and ocean waves – and wove them into a steel lacework that shoots upwards. “‘Coastal Helix’ is a modern sculpture that pays homage to the natural surroundings of the northern Carlsbad coastal region and creates a signature gateway to The Village,” said City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Manager Vincent Kitch. “Roger worked with the community to bring iconic imagery into the piece that reﬂected the values of our community as well as tying it to the natural surroundings.” The new sculpture is one of the goals Carlsbad has set in order to improve its coastal areas and make them more accessible and attractive to residents and visitors.

THE MCCLELLANPALOMAR AIRPORT SHINES WITHIN THE

CARLSBAD COMMUNITY photos by Lauren Nygard photography

Named after Gerald C. McClellan, a North County community leader and aviator, the McClellan-Palomar Airport serves as an entryway to and from North County San Diego. Local and international flights from across the globe touch down right here in Carlsbad’s own backyard. Conveniently located in the heart of Carlsbad’s business district, surrounded by beautiful beaches, local attractions, and more, the airport embodies a real sense of local pride. Read along as we speak with Olivier Brackett, Airport Manager at the McClellan-Palomar Airport, about the history behind the airport, information regarding its future plans for reconstruction, and interesting facts you might not know about this gateway to and from local destinations.

34 • 92009Magazine.com • October | November 2014

Q&A

with Olivier Brackett

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE MCCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT?

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THE NAME OF THE AIRPORT?

McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) started in Del Mar as a former Naval blimp base. When the I-5 was built, the federal government required that the county relocate the airport and the present site was selected – it was formerly used as the strawberry fields. McClellan-Palomar airport is one of eight airports operated by the County of San Diego, which include Gillespie Field and Ramona Airport – a Calfire base. It was opened on March 20, 1959.

On May 1, 1982, the County Board of Supervisors proclaimed the airport McClellan-Palomar Airport in honor of Gerald C. McClellan, who was instrumental in the incorporation of the City of Carlsbad and served on the city’s airport advisory committee and personnel commission. He was the past president and secretary of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. He was also active in educational affairs and served on the board of directors of Mira Costa College, held a PTA life membership, and served on various school committees. Mr. McClellan also sponsored a language scholarship trophy at Carlsbad High School. He was active in his church, where he served as president of the church corporation and also taught Sunday school. Additionally, as a youth leader, Mr. McClellan sat on the Carlsbad Boy’s Club advisory committee and awarded club members with rides in his personal airplane. He also served as a San Luis Rey District Boy Scouts chairman, scout master, and committee member.

PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON YOUR STAFF. McClellan-Palomar Airport has seven on-site staff dedicated full-time to its operation. The county has additional staff at the Gillespie Field airports headquarters who support all eight county airports in areas such as real estate, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and other matters. I am the airport manager. I served twenty years with the United States Marine Corps. My duties included air traffic control, tower manager, and FAA examiner for MCAS Camp Pendleton. Before assuming my current position, I served as a volunteer, the first security and safety coordinator for all eight county airports, and noise officer and assistant manager at CRQ. I have a BS in Professional Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I have worked for the county for thirteen years. John Otto is the assistant airport manager. He served twenty years in the United States Navy in an aviation-related field. Before assuming his current position as assistant airport manager at McClellan-Palomar Airport, he also served as the noise officer and as assistant manager for Gillespie Field. John has a BS in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University and a Master’s in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. John has been with the county for six and a half years.

HOW MANY PILOTS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING AT THE AIRPORT? There are hundreds of pilots who use McClellan-Palomar Airport as a starting point or final destination for their flights locally, across the country, and around the globe.

THE AIRPORT IS IN THE MIDST OF VARIOUS RENOVATIONS. CAN YOU PROVIDE US WITH DETAILS ABOUT THIS MASTER PLAN? WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETED AND WHAT WILL BE SOME OF THE NEW ADDITIONS AND FEATURES? The Master Plan is intended to develop a framework for the future of McClellan-Palomar Airport within the context of local, regional, and national aviation system environments. The new twenty-year Master Plan (2015-2035) will identify and assess a range of development alternatives for meeting the airport’s forecast, facility, safety, and operational requirements in the next planning period. The Master Plan is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

WHAT TYPES OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED AT THE AIRPORT? Like other commercial airports there are many safety and security precautions at McClellan-Palomar Airport and staff are continuously briefed on proper safety and security precautions. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffs the terminal and provides security. Certain areas of the airport are designated off-limits to pedestrians and vehicles. The airport has on-site aircraft rescue and firefighting services to respond quickly to an emergency. In addition, we conduct regular emergency response and disaster drills with local first responders.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE LAYOUT OF THE AIRPORT? WHAT TYPES OF BUILDINGS/FACILITIES ARE ON-SITE? The airport has a single runway, hangars, aircraft maintenance and fueling facilities, office space, terminal buildings, a restaurant, and easily accessible, inexpensive parking. Most of the facilities are on the south side of the airport.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY AT THE AIRPORT LIKE FOR YOU? Upon arrival I receive a daily airport status brief from staff. During the day I manage the operation of the airport and supervise the activities of airport staff. I also conduct regular meetings with staff, airport stakeholders such as elected officials and the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee, and other outside agencies.

CAN YOU ELABORATE MORE ABOUT THE AREAS THE AIRPORT SERVICES? WHAT TYPES OF FLIGHTS TAKE OFF AND LAND AT THE MCCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT? The airport and the many businesses at the airport offer a variety of services ranging from flight training, aircraft charter and rental, aircraft maintenance and fueling, and a great restaurant. Additionally, many pilots participate in the Angel Flight program in which pilots volunteer their time, aircraft, and fuel to fly people to medical appointments to which they may not be able to afford the travel.

WHICH AIRLINES SCHEDULE FLIGHTS AT THIS AIRPORT? United Express currently serves our market with seven round trips a day to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

HAVE YOU HELD ANY EVENTS AT THE AIRPORT? The ariport celebrated its 50th anniversary on July 29, 2009. Also, The Collings Foundation flies WWII-era aircraft into the airport on an annual basis that typically include a B-24 Liberator – thousands of which were produced here in San Diego – a B-25 Mitchell bomber, and a P-51 Mustang long-range fighter credited with helping win WWII in the European Theatre by escorting long-range bombers to their targets and back to base. This event draws hundreds of visitors including scores of WWII veterans who are able to sit in and even fly in the same type of aircraft they operated during bombing missions over Europe some seven decades ago. Additionally, we routinely provide tours for schools and people of all ages.

HAVE ANY NOTABLE FIGURES OR CELEBRITIES VISITED THE AIRPORT? Can you keep a secret? I can too. There are a number of people who enjoy the anonymity of traveling by private aircraft.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPORT? The future of the airport is exciting and the Master Plan will provide the direction.

WHAT’S THE MOST EXCITING ASPECT ABOUT WORKING AT THE AIRPORT? The ability to serve the public in a dynamic environment and working every day with a great staff.

HOW DOES THE AIRPORT STAY CONNECTED TO ITS NEIGHBORS IN CARLSBAD? The airport stays connected to the community by its regularly scheduled public meetings – eight per year – dedicated to the master plan process, public presentations, and airport tours open the public.

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE THE AIRPORT IN FIVE WORDS OR LESS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Best kept secret in North County!

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR READERS? Using CRQ allows North County travelers to lower their carbon footprint when traveling by eliminating multiple vehicles on the road. Using McClellanPalomar Airport as starting or ending points greatly reduces the “hassle factor” because while CRQ has all of the same security requirements of any other commercial airport, it is on a smaller scale and therefore much quicker. Also, inexpensive parking is near the new terminal, which is built in a sea-sky motif with shell-encrusted floors in sweeping conch shell patterns, overhead canopies that mimic sailboats, and floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of light and sea breezes. There are several outdoor areas, and even rocking chairs to allow our passengers and visitors the chance to relax. The airport also has a customs office for travelers arriving from outside the U.S. McClellan-Palomar Airport generates tens of millions of dollars in personal income earned by the nearly 400 people employed at the airport, in business revenue generated by airport industries, and state and local tax revenues. McClellan-Palomar Airport with its extensive facilities, new terminal, great restaurant, and convenience is something the entire community can be proud of. ¢

Fiesta del Barrio

THE CITY OF CARLSBAD UNITES THE COMMUNITY WITH A CULTURAL CELEBRATION

he City of Carlsbad, in partnership with the Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad Association, recently celebrated Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad at Pine Avenue Community Park. The fiesta strives to bring Carlsbad residents together to inform them about the cultural heritage of the Barrio, and also to preserve its importance. Hundreds of people were in attendance at the community event. Aztec and ballet folkloric dancers as well as mariachi and Latin bands performed. Highlights included an arts and crafts area, information booths, a classic car display, a community yoga area, a salute dedicated to the city’s local heroes, and tours of the Barrio Museum. An opening ceremony led by Mayor Matt Hall brought the community even closer as he spoke about all the local residents who have contributed to the overall well-being and beauty of the city. The Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office continued to build excitement throughout the day by leading a creative effort for all those interested in participating. Artists of all abilities created hands-on artwork. Artist Skye Walker painted a new mural at the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad on Oak Ave., and young artists from local high schools put their talents to use by painting utility boxes throughout the community. Proceeds from the fiesta will go towards community education projects and scholarships. The City would like to thank the Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad Association for helping make this year’s celebration come to life. ¢

Window Genie offers comprehensive service packages. All technicians are professionally trained and have thorough background checks. All of our equipment, including the carbon fiber water-fed pole is top-notch.” – Huxley

Keeping it

Clean Window Genie Provides Quality Window Cleaning, Tinting, and Pressure Washing Services by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Tyler McElhaney

leaning the windows of a residence or commercial building is daunting – it is time-consuming, difficult, and oftentimes dangerous. For these reasons, Chris Huxley, Owner of Window Genie, suggests that home and business owners leave window cleaning services to the professionals. He was motivated to establish Window Genie when he had the windows cleaned at his home and was less than pleased with the experience and the results. “I felt that I could bring window cleaning in North County to a more polished and professional level. Window Genie offers comprehensive service packages. All technicians are professionally trained and have thorough background checks. All of our equipment, including the carbon fiber waterfed pole, is top-notch,” explained Huxley. Window Genie offers not only window cleaning services, but also window tinting products and pressure washing services for exterior walls,

driveways, sidewalks, patios, and decks. As stated by Huxley, window tinting is a way to protect floors and furniture from fading while adding an extra layer of security to homes or offices. Pressure washing not only cleans exterior surfaces, but also helps keep them properly maintained and protects them from damaging surface contaminants. Huxley and his team are committed to customer service and professionalism. “We abide by the CLEAN statement: Cleaning and protecting your home or office, Loyalty to Window Genie is rewarded through specials and discounts, Establishing the highest level of customer satisfaction, Achieving the highest level of professionalism, and Nurturing and giving back to the local community through our Windows 4 Wishes program,” revealed Huxley. Window Genie is also dedicated to protecting the environment through the use of “Go Green” paper that is made of post-consumer fiber, recycled paper, and virgin pulp derived from

42 • 92009Magazine.com • October | November 2014

sustainably managed forests. According to Huxley, use of this paper saves trees, water, energy emissions, and solid waste. Window Genie proudly serves the North County communities of Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Escondido, and other surrounding cities. Huxley is a longtime North County resident himself and is proud to bring valuable and reliable window cleaning, window tinting, and pressure washing services to his own backyard. When he is not working, Huxley enjoys swimming, surfing, and trail running. “I also love hanging out with my wife, Joanna, and our two children, Hoyt and Lolo. I also enjoy coaching swimming,” related Huxley. For more information about Window Genie visit www.encinitas.windowgenie.com. ¢

Fast Framing An Old World Craft Meets Modern Technology at Fastframe Carlsbad by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Tyler McElhaney

he grandfather’s painting tucked away, the posters left rolled up, the memorabilia from a favorite concert – traditionally, framing these favorite pieces was a long process. But one local business is changing this. Dedicated to fast turnaround, excellent service, and a highquality selection, Fastframe Carlsbad reinvents the art of framing. Unlike many frame shops, Fastframe builds each frame on-site. Clients not only have a quality in-house selection to fit their budgets and needs, they can also be creative and unique with over 3,000 moulding samples to choose from. A recent client described: “I had a complex frame to create with a concert poster, drum stick, ticket window, and two pictures with the artist, five

windows in all. They did an awesome job – perfect collaboration with my vision for it, flexible pricing, and quality workmanship. Fast, too!” While speed is a key factor, Owner Elizabeth Pace understands the art and history of the process. She explained, “The Fastframe Operating System has taken this Old World craft and added modern technology, which allows us to produce products in a fraction of the time it takes our competitors.” Started in 1986 in Europe, Fastframe’s guarantee is a leader in the industry – thirty days on design and lifetime on craftsmanship. Locally owned, the business is an important part of the Carlsbad community. Elizabeth, alongside Manager David Pace, is involved in TGIF Jazz in the Parks, Carlsbad Dove Library events, Carlsbad Arts Program, Memories in the Making Art Program

46 • 92009Magazine.com • October | November 2014

Elizabeth’s background as a teacher and David’s experience as an artist ensure clients are educated about options and receive excellent design recommendations. Free consultations are offered at the shop, in-home, or via email, as well as free pickup and delivery. One client explained, “Fastframe did an amazing job on framing my mother’s oil painting. They have a great eye to help select the perfect frame that enhances my mom’s work. They were really fast! I have also sent them many of my clients who are also thrilled with their quality and service, even in-home service for an older client that does not drive!” Fastframe is keeping up the pace, and Elizabeth would love to open a second location to grow the communities they serve. For now, Elizabeth and David are excited to serve their Carlsbad customers with their unique services. ¢

CANCER CONCIERGE

SUSAN WEBSTER AND PACIFIC CANCER FITNESS PROVIDE A ‘HOME BASE’ FOR CANCER AWARENESS AND EDUCATION by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography

SURVIVORSHIP After living her own battle against breast cancer, La Costa resident Susan Webster saw a great need for cancer patients and survivors to know more about their disease, its treatment, and the short and long term effects on health. So she answered the call – creating Pacific Cancer Fitness in 2013. This nonprofit charitable organization serves to help anyone faced with a cancer diagnosis and impending or past treatment. PCF provides education, support, and fitness services to individuals receiving or recovering from cancer treatment, with the ultimate goals of helping people improve their health, decreasing the impact of the harsh side effects of cancer treatment, and reducing the risk of the cancer coming back.

IMPROVEMENT In this age of split-second information, life choices can be overwhelming, conflicting, and changing every day. Susan learned this lesson the hard way – as a competitive skier growing up, she skied off a cliff at only 19 years of age, tearing her knee to shreds and changing her future in an instant. Now, she sees herself as a ‘Cancer Concierge’, helping people with that cancer ‘life-changing instant’ create their own individual roadmap toward wellness and survivorship. “My biggest accomplishment is seeing the health of cancer patients and survivors improve,” Susan told us. “It is the result of a number of small steps such as encouraging and demonstrating better ways to eat, incorporating physical activity and fitness into each day, and opening yourself up to help and support from others in the community.”

Susan loves what PCF is doing for the community at large: “My biggest accomplishment is seeing the health of cancer patients and survivors improve,” she shared. “Connecting with someone by understanding, giving hope, and turning doubts into ‘Yes I Can!’” The Webster family is very active around Carlsbad, with horse riding being Susan’s favorite activity (“My daughter wrote an essay which won me a scholarship to the Cowgirls vs. Cancer Retreat in Montana 2014. It was amazing!”). One of her newest interests is stand-up paddling (her husband is an avid and competitive outrigger canoe paddler), which has recently been introduced to her PCF clients. She celebrates seeing everyone paddling with smiles on their faces.

BALANCE “Cancer treatment hits like a tsunami,” Susan explained, “so helping our clients do little things like getting up from the floor without assistance, or raising their arm over their head without pain are huge successes!” ¢

PCF is preparing for a series of educational forums in Carlsbad, Vista, and Oceanside in 2015. Each month they host Talk ‘N Taste, which is a free educational discussion where there is sampling of healthy anti-cancer recipes. Volunteers are always needed, not only to write and research information, but also to distribute literature and man information tables. 48 • 92009Magazine.com • October | November 2014

Celebrating Milestones CARLSBAD’S LITERACY PROGRAM TURNS 30

he Carlsbad City Library Literacy Services program, which offers free reading, writing, and computer skills training, is celebrating thirty years of service. Today it has eighty-two active tutors and seventy-four matched volunteer tutor, or learner, pairs. “Around twenty years ago, computers were integrated into the curriculum of the literacy program. It adopted a core belief that computer skills were not an end in themselves, but instead were important reading and writing tools that were as essential as books, pens, and paper,” Community Outreach Supervisor Carrie Scott explained. In 2008 the program moved into the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center. This February the program expanded the Learning Center’s hours. Carlsbad Literacy Services has earned ongoing community support, including a seventeen-year partnership with Carlsbad High School to offer reading, writing, and study skills support to selected special-education students. Students earn class credit for the time they spend at the Learning Center. The program continues to grow with new offerings like Playaway Bookpacks, a book with an audio player allowing the reader to listen to a book while reading it. Grants are also being received to expand technology use in the literacy program. Additionally, the Summer Youth Literacy Program, in partnership

with the library’s Bilingual Services, will offer a literacy program parallel to the library’s summer reading program, pairing students in grades one through four and their parents with a volunteer tutor to improve the students’ reading level. For more information about Literacy Services contact literacy@carlsbadca.gov. ¢

LCC Rubgy Develops Strong Tradition of Success LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY MAKES A NAME FOR ITSELF IN CARLSBAD

he current rugby program at La Costa Canyon High School (LCC) began with three LCC students’ vision in 2012. Tanner Taguchi, Sawyer Kilgore, and Patrick French helmed the school club, asking for administration assistance from the school and coaching support from the Coastal Dragons – a rugby club based in Encinitas. The team formed under a start-up/developmental team league comprised of twenty-three student athletes. Nick Duvall and Dave Cobb were two of the instrumental leaders in this start-up. The group only fielded a single team, however that one team went on to win third place in the league that year. The next year brought more success for the team. With over thirty players, and up a division from the previous year, the rugby team was able to expand into both varsity and junior varsity. Varsity finished second in the league and junior varsity won the league season. As for this upcoming season, the team plans to bring in even more members, with the hopes of creating a girls team as well. Reuben Spilkin has joined the team as head coach, bringing in years of experience. Reuben was the former head coach for SDSU and the men’s Aztec Rugby Club. His goal is to bring new energy and talent to the team. The team hopes to continue this legacy this year and would like to thank all of their supporters. The LCC Rugby season begins in mid-November and continue through mid-February. To stay up-to-date on future matches visit www.lcchsrugby.com. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS

Energy Saving Tips

for the Season by TORI MORRISON

ith the kids back in school and the holidays right around the corner, it’s important to monitor your spending during these busy months. If you haven’t started, now’s the time to cut back on energy use within the home. Here are some easy tips to get you started.

Unplug, Unplug, Unplug Make sure you unplug devices when they are not being used. Be especially mindful of computers and laptops. According to the Residential Energy Services Network (RESN), even when these devices are turned off, they will still consume power when they are plugged in and can account for five to ten percent of your total household electricity bill.

Cover Your Windows Blinds, drapes, and window coverings can help reduce energy waste and keep your energy bill low. As the temperatures in October and November remain in the high seventies, close your blinds, curtains, and window coverings to keep the house cooler. According to RESN, your air conditioning will have to work up to thirty percent harder to cool your home otherwise.

Use the Right Bulb Replace standard bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). The bulbs give off the same amount of light, but are much more energy-efficient. Ensure that you are using the right size bulb for your light fixture.

Adjust Temperature Settings Maintaining a higher indoor temperature setting during summer and a lower indoor temperature setting during winter saves energy. Keep the temperature comfortable by making adjustments to your thermostat before you get home.

Schedule a Home Energy Audit Reach out to a certified home energy auditor for a home energy audit. A home energy audit is an in-depth home examination done by an expert to find out where energy is being lost. The expert then assists the homeowner and offers possible solutions. ¢

TOWN Dive Into San Diego's History at Old Town by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Sandé Lollis

ld Town, San Diego harks back to the roots of San Diego’s early days as a settlement. There’s loads of history and lots to see packed into a few blocks between the I-8 and I-5 freeway, including the historic parks and infamous Whaley House. For a more mobile experience, the Old Town Trolley Tours offer sightseeing of Old Town and beyond from the comfort of an old-school trolley. The Old Town Historic Park appears to be straight off a Hollywood movie set. You can just picture the cowboys atop their horses and ladies with hoop skirts parading down the main way. Visit a traditional adobe house, La Casa de Estudillo, the First Brick Courthouse, the Seeley Stables where horses and carriages were once stored, and many restored homes of historic San Diego families. A short distance away is Presidio Park, with the Junipero Serra Museum and Bazaar Del Mundo specialty shops. Above Old Town is a plot of land known as Heritage Park. Take a step back in time in these restored Victorian homes where you can get a glimpse of what life was like in these regal estates. But when it comes to a particular house in Old Town, be careful of what you find! The Whaley House – it’s a place that you dare your friends to step into. Are those footsteps you’re hearing? Did you feel a chill? Known as one of the most haunted spots in America, the Whaley House is open for daytime and nighttime tours, and perhaps you’ll get a ghostly visitor or two. If you aren’t brave enough to step inside, you can walk around the outside and tour the gift shop.

DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS 2014 produced by SOHO (Save Our Heritage Organization) This Nov. 1 and 2, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) 2014 comes back to Old Town. The annual celebration honors those who have passed and attributes to San Diego's Mexican heritage with color, music and more. This is not to be confused with Halloween and is not meant to be scary or morbid. Rather, families and friends come together to offer the spirits hospitality. Over fifty public altars will be

peppered throughout Old Town, hosted by local businesses, museums and shops, with many of them depicting historical and recently passed figures important to them. Visitors are encouraged to tour the altars to learn more about these figures and pay respects. A Tour of Altars Map will be available at www.sddayofthedead.org. Other family activities will include live entertainment, skull face painting, paper flowers, masks and more. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

How Does the Rest of 2014 Look? by GLENN HOLTZ & TANYA GABRIELLA

s we look back at the first half of 2014 we had a very slow start. Per CAR Market Snapshot, sales were down more than 10% for the first half of the year due to an increase in home prices, an interest rate hike, and lack of investment properties for the investors. At the end of the second quarter we saw sales started picking up which was a good sign. The decrease in sales in June was the smallest since September 2013. Supply conditions in the housing market also showed signs of improvement when compared to the previous year. With inventory improving and home sales slowly moving back up, the market is more balanced, and we can see further market normalization in the upcoming months as interest rates remain at the lowest level we have seen so far this year. Interest rates are projected to increase towards the end of the year, so sales should improve in the second half of the year as many primary home buyers realize this.

Home sales for the rest of the year are expected to be at about the same level as that of last year and a stronger economy should propel the housing market to bounce back in 2015. Now is the time to move forward with your real estate plans. The first step is to contact us! ¢
