I found my PASSION for ...

Innovation

Music

Sophia Marks,

John Potts,

“I loved the weekly elementary music class that the Carlsbad Educational Foundation provides and decided to start choir in third grade, and join the guitar club in fifth. I joined Showstoppers at Valley Middle school and now perform in the Sound Express choir at CHS. The music opportunities the Foundation has provided have greatly impacted my life, I don’t think I would be who I am today if I hadn’t gotten involved with music.”

John ignited his passion for robotics in 5th grade at Kelly Elementary School in a program funded by the Foundation. Now, John is a robotics team captain and mentors peer and younger robotics students. His dream is to attend an engineering college.

Carlsbad High School Senior

Carlsbad High School Junior

“I love developing robots and all the craziness that ensues. It is a whole process, from coming up with the innovative ideas, to getting them to work. Sometimes the robot does the complete unexpected...it’s part of what makes it so exciting.”

... Thanks to the Carlsbad Educational Foundation. YOU can help fuel the passion! For as little as $1 a day you can make a difference in a child’s life.

:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 4, No. 3 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux

Let’s Party!

Creative Director Tyler McElhaney

W

e created San Diego’s first “zip code-based” magazine six years ago. We now have 14 magazines spanning across most of North San Diego County. The combined direct-mailed circulation between all magazines is approximately 220,000 homes. It all started with a mission to create a hyper-local community magazine that people actually wanted to read. I like to say that whether you are four years old or 104 years old, there’s a little something inside the pages for everyone. While ZCode has some of the most passionate employees working hard to keep delivering interesting local content to your homes, the talented ZCode team is just one part of the equation that makes it all work. Although each and every magazine is mailed directly to your home for free, make no mistake, there is a significant cost to do so. I have the privilege to attend many local events. When I am out and about, people often come up to me to compliment the magazines and thank me for publishing them. While I certainly appreciate the positive feedback, I too am just one tiny part of the equation. The recognition and thanks should definitely be directed elsewhere. The people that are truly responsible (and should be thanked personally) are the advertising partners. The businesses that you see and read about throughout the pages of ZCode Magazines are the ones that make it all possible. It’s very simple. Without their participation, ZCode Magazines would not exist. They are the ones that bear the financial commitment of allowing ZCode to produce this special treat about the communities that we all live in that is delivered to your mailbox issue after issue, year after year. Last month, we held an advertiser appreciation event at our office in Rancho Bernardo. We hope that this was the first of an ongoing Derrick Breaux annual event – let’s be honest and call it a PARTY – where ZCode is able Publisher to publicly recognize some of the advertising partners that have gone the extra mile, whether they realize it or not, to assist in getting these magazines into your homes. While I personally wanted to recognize each and every business that participates in ZCode Magazines, since they all play an important role, we focused primarily on businesses that have been supporters for five or more continuous years, as well as a few category-specific businesses that we felt deserved special recognition. Be sure to check out page 23 of this issue for photos and a list of the recipients. I hope you enjoy this issue of 92009 Magazine. As you flip through the pages, pay close attention to the local businesses that have committed to being a part of your community and playing a role in helping to create and deliver this publication. I encourage you to take a moment to give them a nod or thumbs up the next time you see them, visit their place of business, or use their services. Acknowledgement goes a long way. I promise that they will appreciate the feedback and recognition. I want to personally thank the ZCode advertising partners, and dedicate this issue specifically to the businesses that make this all possible. Each and every one of them plays a part!

OUT of His COMFORT ZONE

Carlsbad Student Star Cooper Ball Scouts a Unique Path to Success by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Samantha Gleaton Photography

C

ooper Ball is a La Costa Canyon student who loves his life. As for where he lives, the Carlsbad community with its beautiful weather and scenery is a daily joy. His academic and athletic involvements run the gamut from student government to Spanish to the rowing team, but the common element is that they all help Cooper expand and grow by getting him out of his comfort zone. In school Cooper has found an interest in languages. “My favorite subject at LCC has been Spanish,” he said, “because I had a great teacher who taught me to love the language and I have really enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone to learn it.” He’s been involved in student government, including a term as sophomore class vice president, which was a great experience Name: Community: School: Parents: Siblings: Favorite Place in 92009:

for him. “It has taught me social skills that I never thought I would have by having to interact with different groups all over campus. I have learned how to plan huge events like dances and be a leader throughout campus.” Back in seventh grade, a knee injury he received in soccer forced him to reevaluate his sports interests. His doctor suggested he try rowing, and he has successfully stuck to it ever since. This summer he competed at the CanAmMex Games in Mexico City for the U.S. Junior National Team. He competed in the Men’s 8+ and 2- and won both events. His adventure in the games gave Cooper experience racing at an international level. “I met kids from all over North America,” he explained, “and I liked being there to represent my country.” Cooper’s hobbies and interests include Boy Scouts through his church, and surfing. One of his goals for the future is to trial a boat (with his San Diego rowing partner) to represent the USA in Amsterdam at the Junior World Championship. “My goal is to be recruited to a top rowing college to win a national championship.” He continued, “and I would love to become an oral surgeon when I’m older.” As far as what would surprise people about Cooper? “Most people are surprised when I say that I row because they all think I play basketball or volleyball.” Cooper Ball is our 92009 Student Star, out of his comfort zone and into success. 

About the Chef Submit a rec www.9 2009ma ipe at gazine.c om

Chef: Sara Nelson Family: Husband – Cogen Nelson; Kids – Jarrod (11) and Ellie (3) Community: Carlsbad Hobbies/Interests: CrossFit, the beach, baking, and blogging Favorite Local Activity: Family time at Alga Norte – park or pool! About the Recipe: I am a nutrition coach and owner of a local CrossFit gym in Carlsbad. That being said, we have all different varieties of diets and preferences in the gym. Some eat paleo, some eat gluten free, and most all of them want nutritious and delicious food! Whenever we have people over we serve these tacos. They are super easy to make since the crockpot does all of the cooking for you. The sauce on the slaw is flavorful and not too runny, and the spicy sauce on the tacos is to die for! I always look forward to recreating basic meals and inspiring people to cook. I am a mother of two and I balance two jobs, the gym and coaching. With little time to make fancy meals, this dinner is a great weeknight option or weekend favorite. Being in Southern California, who doesn’t love tacos? About the Chef: I can’t think of anything I love more than food. Well, I’m sure I can think of a few things, but food tops the list. Food and I are in a serious relationship. I’m a nutrition coach, donut snob, and kitchen ninja. When I’m not baking or picking up a barbell, I’m working with athletes to optimize their performance by dialing in their nutrition. I practice a flexible dieting approach that helps athletes of all ages, shapes, and sizes reach their fitness goals. ¢

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD

PREPPING FOR THE PERFECT DAY Pamela Ann Noxon Marries the Needs of Couples with the Modern Wedding Fair by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

F

ifteen years ago, Carlsbad resident Pamela Ann Noxon was officiating weddings across San Diego when she recognized a real challenge in the wedding planning process. “Couples had to drive to interview and hire many vendors in over a dozen categories all over town,” Pamela explained. So she decided to better meet these couples’ needs by creating The Wedding Party Expo. “I’ve reinvented the model of the wedding fair to meet the needs of today’s engaged couple,” Pamela acknowledged. Held multiple times a year and at different venues, The Wedding Party Expo brings together top San Diego wedding professionals in a one-stop shop. Pamela’s intention was for couples “to come to a fun, respectful, and stylish event and meet all the people they need to hire for their big day.” The most recent Wedding Party Expo just wrapped up on Nov. 1. Pamela recapped the day, saying it “showcased so many amazing wedding experts and styles and ideas, like runway fashion shows with our custom staging, a groom’s lounge for the boys with styling, grooming, and fashions, and a Chocolate University that people raved over.” For the next show on Feb. 14, Pamela is excited about the lover’s theme, champagne bar, 100 wedding services, and continuous fashion shows all held in the Hyatt Mission Bay penthouse suite. “I am proud to say the show has been copied by many fairs across the nation but never duplicated,” she shared. Pamela’s creative work extends into her other entrepreneurial ventures as a freelance marketing consultant, website designer, and founder of Pamela’s Parasols, outdoor sun umbrellas. But it’s more than just the perfect party for Pamela. She shared that her favorite part of being involved in the wedding industry is “getting to be a part of such a sacred and powerful event in people’s lives.” To this end, Pamela also prioritizes her philanthropic work. She donates accessories to the local animal shelters, Wounded Warriors, and Rebuilding Together, as well as building websites for charities. In the midst of her busy schedule, Pamela carves out time to enjoy the peacefulness of the Carlsbad lifestyle, the proximity to the ocean, and spending time with friends and family. “I have owned my home here since 2000 and loved every single day of it!” Pamela exclaimed. 

ocal nonprofit La Costa 35 Athletic Club (LC35AC) hosted its 5th Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament in early November to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC). LC35AC was formed in 1984 and began its annual poker tournament in 2011 as a way to give back to the Carlsbad community. Since that time, tournament attendance has more than doubled and the event has raised over $100,000. Tournament Director Rob Holzman exclaimed, “This year we sold out one month in advance. There were 20 poker tables, 180 players, and net proceeds of over $45,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad – an all-time record!” The tournament winner was Marc Van Hoose and title sponsors included Christian Credit Counselors and ViaSat. Gold sponsors included A.O. Reed, Cox Business, Crestview Capital Advisors, the Manhole Poker League, Morrison Insurance, State Farm Insurance (Mike Giblin), Trinity Homes, and Synergy One Lending. Large screen TVs courtesy of Digitainment and Infinite Satellite added to the tournament atmosphere by broadcasting the tournament blinds as well as football games.

THE BOTERO FAMILY ADORES THEIR LA COSTA COMMUNITY by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

elsey and Jon Botero met the old-fashioned way: at a bar. “Who says you can’t find love without the internet these days?” joked Kelsey. “I spotted a man on the dance floor and I couldn’t take my eyes off him,” she recalled of their first meeting. “After we were formally introduced, we spent the next two hours completely mesmerized and talking to each other, forgetting the rest of the world even existed around us.” Two years later, Kelsey and Jon were married. “There’s nobody else I could imagine sharing this life with,” gushed Kelsey.

But as fate would have it, the Boteros had to make room for another person in their family. “We always told ourselves ‘if it happens, it happens but we will not be saddened if children are never a part of our lives.’ Funny how short-lived that ended up being,” said Kelsey. Their little boy, Dean, was born on March 13, 2013. “Dean has brought such paramount joy into our lives,” shared Kelsey. “We had no idea what the words ‘love’ and ‘sacrifice’ meant until seeing that beautiful boy’s face.” Dean’s arrival changed a number of things about Kelsey and Jon’s pre-baby lives. One of which was a relocation from their home in North Park to Carlsbad. “In April of 2013 Kelsey received a job offer in Carlsbad,” explained the couple. “She braved the commute for a short period but after learning of the life-changing news of our pregnancy, it just made sense to move north and build our little family.” The Boteros moved into their La Costa home by October of that year and haven’t looked back since. “We are both very active, outdoor people so living in a community that embraces such a lifestyle is truly gratifying,” shared Kelsey and Jon. “With Dean we wake up very early these days, so we will just pack a bag for the day and head outside to see what’s going on in the community – whether it’s the beach, park, local café, or an event, we just love taking in all this city has to offer.” Although the couple admitted to missing their family and friends down south, they confided that Carlsbad is the only place they want to live. “Nevertheless,” joked the Boteros, “we are currently taking applications for coupled or new parent friends: must love playing outside and drinking the occasional beer or wine to escape the tantrums and diaper changes.” 

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Carlsbad Socks Raise Money for BGCC

Local resident John Rich loves that his neighborhood is full of community spirit, with Carlsbad t-shirts and hats worn everywhere with pride by locals and tourists alike, but when he realized he couldn’t find any Carlsbad socks, he decided to volunteer his time to design and produce his own. With 30 years of experience in the apparel industry, it was a fairly easy task for John, and by early July of this year he began delivering the socks to be sold in local shops such as Carlsbad Pipelines, Offshore Surf Shop, and Señor Grubby’s, just to name a few. The socks serve in part as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC), with $2 from every sale going to help fund afterschool programs and other events put on by the BGCC. John commented, “I chose the Boys & Girls Club because I believe in the leadership there.” When asked what he loves most about Carlsbad, John shared, “My passion is surfing and the ocean, so the beaches are what I love most. Also, the locals make this town special and they know who they are.”

Holiday at the Rancho

The City of Carlsbad’s annual Holiday at the Rancho celebration is back to bring a bit of holiday spirit, western history, and family fun to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. The event will feature a tree-lighting ceremony, cookie decorating, holiday shopping, face painting, crafts, an outdoor movie, and other entertainment. Santa himself will be making an appearance as well, and he might even be wearing his cowboy hat! Photos with Santa can be captured with cameras or purchased for $3. Pony rides will also be available for $6. Once a working ranchero, the park was owned by actor, philanthropist, poet, preservationist, and rancher Leo Carrillo. “We are so lucky to have this unique property in Carlsbad,” said City of Carlsbad Special Events Supervisor Rachael Shay. “It lends itself to the nostalgia of the holiday season.” For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.carlsbadconnect.org.

The Veterans History Project

Established in 2000 by the U.S. Congress, the Veterans History Project is a nationwide movement to record and preserve the lives and stories of U.S. veterans as a legacy for their families and future generations. North County resident Stan Smith, a World War II veteran, was one of the first to be interviewed for the project out of Congressman Scott Peters’ office, and thought so highly of his experience that he volunteered to recruit and interview other local veterans to tell their stories. “I have personally heard many exciting and emotional stories from several notable veterans, including men who were bombed on ships at Pearl Harbor in 1941. I believe the entire country could benefit by these stories before they are lost forever,” shared Stan. All local veterans are eligible to participate in this project. For those interested in participating, contact Stan directly at 858-485-5398. To learn more visit www.loc.gov/vets.

Alyssa Newman, a senior at The Grauer School, has been named a Commended Student in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the program, were presented to Alyssa for her academic promise. Commended Students place among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2016 competition by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation,” said a spokesperson for NMSC.

Local Schools Benefit from Candy Buyback

Great Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics hosted a Halloween candy buyback in early November. North County families were encouraged to stop by and drop off their candy to receive $1 for each pound they brought in, up to five pounds. All kids who donated their candy were entered into a North County-wide competition to earn prizes for their school. Over 300 pounds of candy was collected, with Capri Elementary in Encinitas taking the winning title and the $500 prize donation for bringing in 158.1 pounds. Carlsbad schools Carillo Elementary and Magnolia Elementary each had one class win a pizza party for coming in the top ten of schools with the most candy collected. The candy went to benefit Just In Time for Foster Youth, a nonprofit organization which helps transitioning foster youth achieve self-sufficiency and well-being.

AHLF Educates Carlsbad

The Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation (AHLF) recently hosted the fifth installment of their Night at the Museum series with their Bat Chats event. The day included a presentation from Cindy Myers with Project Wildlife, who helped to educate the audience on bats, bat safety, and the differences in physical traits between various species. Cindy’s interactive demonstration allowed listeners to gain a better understanding of echolocation, the method by which bats navigate and locate food, with help from crowd participants and a slinky. Attendees also enjoyed the opportunity to meet Delilah, a Mexican free-tailed bat, rescued by Project Wildlife. The event included an appearance from local award-winning author Janell Cannon which included a live reading of her book Stellaluna, a beloved story about a baby bat separated from her mother and raised alongside a nest full of baby birds. Other highlights included a variety of crafts, games, and snacks. The final Night at the Museum event for the year, Recycled Holiday Crafts, will occur on Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the AHLF Discovery Center. To learn more visit lagoon.aguahedionda.org.

Carlsbad Golf Classic

The Carlsbad Educational Foundation (CEF) recently held its 15th Annual Golf Classic at The Crossings at Carlsbad. The event was a fun-filled day on the links with unique contests, interactive tee boxes, and friendly competition that raised $93,000 to benefit the schools in the Carlsbad Unified School District by helping to fund innovative science, music, and educational programs for students. A team of parents from Aviara Oaks Elementary School, led by Pat Rushing, took first place in the Golden Club School Competition, the Straight Line General Contractors team took first place overall, and a special 15th place prize went to the Cultured Stone by Boral team. The Trasks, a local Carlsbad family, won a one-week Kauai vacation with airfare, car rental, and an excursion for the whole family!

Sustainable Surplus Exchange Wins Small Business Award

Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) was named Small Business of the Year in the Community Impact category at the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Awards. SSE is a local 501(c)(3) organization that seeks to build awareness about sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint of waste by diverting items from the landfill – everything from office supplies to lab equipment – and redistributing them as donations to educational, charitable, and start-up organizations in need. SSE was founded by Sue Prelozni in 2011, and since then has benefited more than 30,000 teachers, students, nonprofits, and start-up entrepreneurs throughout San Diego County, more than 10 percent of which are located in Carlsbad. In addition, through the participation of more than 200 companies, the nonprofit’s program has donated $1.7 million worth of still usable assets, diverting 374,000 pounds of items from landfills. Sue commented, “This has been quite an experience – a lot of passion mixed in with hard work and faith. SSE has been blessed by the support of many committed people who volunteer their time to achieve the mission of building a sustainable community.”

As the holiday season approaches, families take extra care to spend more time together celebrating their annual traditions. One such tradition includes decorating homes with strings of lights to brighten up the night and celebrate the season. While some enjoy building extravagant displays with decorations, others enjoy simply strolling through decorated neighborhoods with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee to take in the sights. If you enjoy taking in the holiday lights but aren’t sure where to go, don’t fret – one of the best-known holiday hotspots is right here in 92009. Over the years 7607 Romeria St. has earned the popular nickname the “Carlsbad Christmas House” for the animated window display, snow machines, Surfing Santa, swimming penguins, toy display called the Land of Misfit Toys, and more. The family behind the attraction, the Halabuks, invite the community to stroll up to the house to enjoy the displays and dance with Santa starting Sunday, Dec. 6 through New Year’s Eve from 5 to 11 p.m., and encourage everyone to bring along non-perishable food items to be donated to charity. The schedule is subject to change and rainout.

Their prices are right and the end result is amazing.

CARLSBAD YOUTH LACROSSE TEACHES LOCAL KIDS THE FASTEST GAME ON TWO FEET photos by Samantha Gleaton Photography

26 • 92009Magazine.com • December 2015 | January 2016


A

lthough the hotbed of lacrosse has long been the East Coast, the sport has been steadily gaining popularity on this side of the country for several years now. In an effort to provide the Carlsbad community with a place to learn and play lacrosse, the Barnett and Evans families formed Carlsbad Youth Lacrosse (CYL) in 2007. Since then CYL has grown rapidly from a single team for seventh and eighth grade boys to multiple teams for both boys and girls of all skills and ages. Unique for many reasons, lacrosse is known for being a fastpaced, action-packed team sport that allows all players the chance to be a part of the game. In this same spirit CYL is committed to the growth of Carlsbad’s young athletes by providing high-quality coaching and instruction in an environment where all players are encouraged to develop their skills and work together as a team. We sit down with CYL President and Head Coach Chris Scheriff to get the scoop on what makes the upcoming season of lacrosse so exciting.

:::: COVER FEATURE

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE CARLSBAD YOUTH LACROSSE PROGRAM? Carlsbad Youth Lacrosse (CYL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established in 2007 by the Barnett and Evans families in order to provide kids in Carlsbad with a place to learn and play lacrosse. The goal when starting the program was to get kids playing lacrosse at a younger age so they would be more experienced by the time they got to play in high school. The program was started with a D1 team for seventh and eighth graders and grew over the first few years, adding on a D3 team for fifth and sixth graders. I was the varsity lacrosse coach at Carlsbad High School (CHS) from 2008 to 2010 and took over as president and head coach of CYL in 2011. That year we expanded to add on seventh and eighth grade and fifth and sixth grade B teams in order to feed the A teams the following year. With the popularity of the sport growing rapidly, in 2014 CYL added on two boys pee-wee teams, which included teams for first, second, third, and fourth graders, as well as the first-ever CYL girls team for sixth to eighth grade girls. CYL is dedicated to providing great coaching and a fun lacrosse experience for all of its players.

28 • 92009Magazine.com • December 2015 | January 2016

WHAT IS THE AGE RANGE FOR ATHLETES WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN CYL? CYL offers teams for boys and girls in first through eighth grade. HOW ARE TEAMS FORMED TO ENSURE THEY ARE BALANCED APPROPRIATELY? We have one team for each pee-wee age group and for the girls sixth through eighth grade team, so anyone who wants to play lacrosse in those categories is placed on those teams. For the fifth through sixth and seventh through eighth grade boys teams, there is an A team for experienced lacrosse players and a B team for kids who are just starting out or who are younger and need more opportunity to develop their skills and understanding of the game. WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR CYL’S RECREATIONAL SEASON? WHERE ARE GAMES PLAYED? CYL hosts preseason clinics usually starting in December through the beginning of February until the regular season starts in mid-February. The regular spring season runs through the end of May depending on the age group.


Games usually start the second week of March and each team will have one or two games a week. Our home field is at Valley Middle School on Tamarack Ave., and we play away games all around San Diego, with the majority of games held in North County within 20 to 30 minutes of Carlsbad. TELL US ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND OF THE COACHES OF CYL. All of our CYL coaches are US Lacrosse members who have played and/or coached lacrosse at the high school varsity level. Many of them have played at the collegiate level as well.

“WE SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE SPORT IN CARLSBAD AND THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO BY PROVIDING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR PLAYERS TO LEARN, DISCOVER, AND EMBRACE THE LACROSSE EXPERIENCE.”

HOW DOES CYL ENSURE THAT ITS PLAYERS ARE PROGRESSING IN SKILL LEVEL AND GROWING AS ATHLETES? Our main goal as coaches is to help develop the skill level of each of our athletes throughout the season. We do preseason assessments and work with each individual either during or after practice to make sure they know what they need to improve on in order to get better. We also provide them with instructional videos and written playbooks to help educate them off the field. WHAT IS THE MISSION OF CARLSBAD YOUTH LACROSSE AND HOW DOES THE ORGANIZATION GO ABOUT FULFILLING THIS MISSION? Our mission is to provide young athletes an opportunity to learn, participate, and compete within a structured league

environment. Our staff is committed to developing character, teamwork, and respect for the game through a high level of coaching and instruction. We support the growth of the sport in Carlsbad and throughout San Diego by providing an environment for players to learn, discover, and embrace the lacrosse experience.

THE SPORT OF LACROSSE HAS BEEN STEADILY GAINING POPULARITY IN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. FOR THOSE WHO AREN’T FAMILIAR WITH THE SPORT, WHAT MAKES IT SO UNIQUE? Lacrosse is known as the fastest game on two feet. It is a very fastpaced, action-packed contact sport where all players get a chance to touch the ball and be part of the play. I have coached a lot of first-time lacrosse players and after their first day playing lacrosse they all have the same reaction: they absolutely love it and can’t wait to play more. That’s what gets us coaches excited about coaching this sport. WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND OR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE SPORT OF LACROSSE? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE GAME? I grew up playing lacrosse in Long Island, NY, which is one of the hot beds of lacrosse in this country. I played at the varsity level at East Islip High School and then went to Towson University in Baltimore, MD which has one of the top D1 lacrosse programs in the country. I graduated with a degree in physical education and later became a certified personal trainer with the intention of coaching

Carlsbad lacrosse. The excitement on the players’ faces and the love that they develop for the sport makes it all worth the time and effort that all of us coaches and board members put in to the program.

I have loved watching the sport grow in California over the last decade that I have lived here. One of my favorite things about coaching is watching kids learn and get better at the sport, which makes them perpetually fall in love with lacrosse. Although I love coaching, nothing is more fun than playing this game and scoring a great goal or making a great defensive play. I still get to do that once in a while when playing in some of the men’s leagues around San Diego.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THE PROGRAM FACES? The two biggest challenges that the program faces are fields and coaches. There is very limited field space in Carlsbad, which means we have to compete with the bigger sports like football, baseball, and soccer to be able to have practices and games. This limits our off-season development of the sport, which is very important for the development of our players. We have also been trying to get turf fields to play games and have some practices, but due to field availability and cost we have only been able to use grass fields which need a lot of work. We have

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH CYL? I really enjoy watching the sport grow and being a part of the development of the CYL programs and players.

“...AFTER THEIR FIRST DAY PLAYING LACROSSE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME REACTION: THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY MORE.” The CHS varsity team won its first CIF championship a couple of years ago with a lot of former CYL players on the team. It’s very rewarding to see all of the hard work of the coaches and players pay off with something like a championship, especially since it was the first one in school’s history for lacrosse. We also had our first undefeated season with our first and second grade peewee team last year, which is a great sign for the future of

main challenges, fundraising is our next biggest obstacle since the funds we raise can really help with paying for nicer fields and more coaches. Donations and fundraising are very important to run a quality youth sports program, especially while keeping it affordable for everyone to play.

DOES CYL HOLD ANY FUNDRAISERS OR SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? CYL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization so we rely heavily on fundraisers and donations to help keep registration costs low for kids to play lacrosse in Carlsbad. We typically have three or four restaurant nights at local restaurants in Carlsbad to help raise money. We also have an annual garage sale and ask parents and local businesses for donations to help us buy new lacrosse equipment for our teams. CYL also hosts several events to help spread the word about youth lacrosse in Carlsbad.

n 2010, Clint Perry had this clever idea for a book: Pack Rat Pat, Don’t Take That! was about a rat that steals all your toys at night if you don’t clean them up. He printed and sold this book, reading it at libraries and bookstores around San Diego. This evolved into reading and playing a song he’d written for the story, which developed into a debut album for Clint and his band, The Boo Hoo Crew (BHC). The resultant record, Jelly & Peanut Butter, contains a boatload of fun and interactive children’s tunes written mostly about Clint’s children, and the band has continued to entertain kids throughout Southern California. As far as the genre of music The BHC plays, “I don’t think you can label us any style really,” Clint explained. “We’ve got ‘70s disco with ‘The Junkyard’ to bluegrass with ‘Face Full of Spider Webs’ to a fusion jazz with ‘Garbage Eating Dinosaur’ to electronic dance with songs like ‘Let’s Dance’ or ‘Go Go.’ It is, however,” Clint said, “all in the realm of family/ kids music.” With Carlsbad as a central location to the band members’ residences, they’ve been writing songs and creating shows there for the past four years. The BHC is inspired by life and many songs come directly from their fans. For example, one as-yet-unreleased song called “Music Time” was inspired by a young fan’s hesitancy to go to school until he found out there was a music circle. Another song “All She Wants to Do is Dance” is written for an enthusiastic fan who comes to shows and dances and dances. “Teddy Bear March” was gleaned from Clint’s memories of his own teddy bear. The versatility needed for songwriters becomes obvious when thinking of all the topics covered: from planes and trains to pirates and astronauts, and let’s not forget boogers and potty. BHC’s second album Shake Your Pirate Booty won the 2012 Parent’s Choice Fun Stuff award and is still, three years later, an Editor’s Choice pick on CDBaby.com. Super Hero has peaked at number one on CDBaby.com. Clint confided, “This may sound ultra cliché but it’s true, our awards are the kids and fans that hug us, thank us, message us, and love us at every show. That kind of award is the best reward.” 

he Surf Cities chapter of the National Charity League (NCL) held its annual fashion show in early October. After weeks of training and rehearsals, 22 sophomore members walked the runway to model four separate designer outfits in front of the 250 attendees. The preparation and experience of participating in the fashion show help the young women develop confidence and poise, as well as their leadership and public appearance skills. The NCL Surf Cities Chapter was founded in 2006 in North County San Diego, and now includes more than 300 members serving 18 local philanthropies and volunteering more than 5,000 hours a year within the local community. The NCL was established in 1925 and serves women and their daughters in grades seven through 12. Currently there are 40,000 members in almost 170 chapters throughout the country.

FOOD, BREW, AND A SIDE OF HISTORY Green Dragon Tavern & Museum Offers Family-Friendly Dining and a Unique American Cultural Experience by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos provided by Green Dragon Tavern & Museum

F

rom the East Coast architecture to the guest experience, Green Dragon Tavern & Museum (GDT&M) easily differentiates itself within the San Diego restaurant scene. The mission of this casualupscale, family-friendly restaurant is to share their passion for American culture with guests through great food and history. “We deliver delicious American comfort food and drink and connect our guests with the stories and contributions of our founding fathers and mothers through our décor and free-admission museum. It is definitely a uniquely GDT&M experience to grab a Sam Adams and stroll through our museum to see an authentic document signed by the man himself,” related John Lek, senior vice president and general manager. The 22,000-foot-venue also houses a private meeting and banquet facility, as well as a coffeehouse and bookstore. The restaurant’s exterior is an enhanced replica of the original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston’s North End, demolished in 1854, and the site of many secret meetings relating to historic events such as the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. In fact, the original Green Dragon Tavern was referred to as the “Headquarters of the Revolution.” “Taverns were the epicenter of 18th century communities. We wanted to open

an inviting venue that would provide value to our community and reconnect our guests with the essence of patriotism, freedom, duty, and innovation that led to the birth of our nation’s independence,” explained Lek. Through the nonprofit organization Green Dragon Tavern Historical Foundation of California, a collection of primary source documents and antiques are displayed free of charge for guests to view. Although there is no obligation to dine at the GDT&M in order to visit the museum, according to Lek, the restaurant and event operation allow for the growth of the collection and programs of the museum. Although the GDT&M celebrates American colonial history, there is no shortage of modern conveniences and perks. Happy hour is offered Monday through Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. and all day on Sunday. There are 20 craft beers on tap, a new craft cocktail libations menu, brunch is offered every Sunday, and there are large screen LED TVs for sports viewing. “We have NFL Sunday ticket, so we show a variety of games and are becoming the preferred venue for watching Chargers and Patriots games,” stated Lek. For more information about GDT&M and their menu, featuring all-American favorites such as New England clam chowder, Maine lobster rolls, and buffalo wings, visit www.greendragontavernca.com. ¢

CUSD’S DOUG GREEN NAMED CALIFORNIA TEACHER OF THE YEAR

V

alley Middle School (VMS) and Carlsbad High School (CHS) Broadcast Journalism teacher Doug Green has been named one of five California Teachers of the Year for 2016 after having also been chosen as one of the San Diego County Teachers of the Year. This marks the second year in a row that a Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD) teacher has been named San Diego County Teacher of the Year, out of over 26,000 teachers who work in San Diego County. Doug teaches broadcasting as an elective class at VMS as well as broadcast journalism at CHS. His students learn different roles both in front of and behind the camera, pitch story ideas

to their classmates, and produce shows that are televised for their respective schools and greater communities. CHSTV students, under the leadership and guidance of Doug Green,

have also created three highly acclaimed documentaries such as “We Must Remember,” “One in Seven – The New Face of Hunger,” and “Invisible Threat.” CUSD Superintendent Dr. Suzette Lovely said, “Mr. Green exemplifies the exceptional teachers who are doing their magic in Carlsbad Unified’s classrooms each day. He is a model of the way great teachers become great influencers.” Doug shared, “What thrills me the most about the chance to represent the teaching profession on a statewide basis is that I will be able to share some of the wonderful successes we are having in Carlsbad schools. Teachers across this district are inspiring students in nurturing, engaging, validating learning environments.” ¢

:::: HOME TIPS

Putting a Freeze on Holiday Fire Hazards

by SHYANNE LOPEZ

ith the holiday season quickly approaching, many are making preparations for the feasts, gatherings, and fun to be had. But don’t let the festivities let you forget that, according to the United States Fire Administration, the holiday season also means an increase of house �ires. Therefore, in the midst of gearing up for the colder season it’s important not to forget some crucial steps to keep your home safe. To help prevent �ire hazards we’ve compiled some guidelines that will help you keep your home and loved ones cozy, cheerful, and warm – but not too warm.

Keepin’ it Cool in the Kitchen

Because cooking is the leading cause of fires in the U.S., it’s important to take extra precautions this time of year, whether it’s the Thanksgiving feast or a traditional family meal. First and foremost, never leave your kitchen or home unattended while cooking. Check on your cooking frequently and be aware of what appliances are turned on. When children are in the kitchen, keep them away from hot food and liquids, as a splash from gravy or grease can cause serious burns. Consider keeping a fire extinguisher handy just in case and, if necessary, keep in mind that flour and baking soda can snuff out a grease fire while water can’t.

Careful with those Candles

No matter the holiday, it seems as if candles are universally loved during the winter months. They bring a sense of coziness to a room, but also pose some risks if not carefully attended to. Make sure to always blow out candles before leaving your home or before you fall asleep. In fact, it’s best to avoid using candles in the bedroom or somewhere you are likely to fall asleep. When placing your candles, choose a sturdy candle holder and place away from any curtains, blankets, paper, or plants. And of course, make sure your home’s fire detectors are working correctly.

Electricity and Wiring

As the months get colder, the houses get brighter. Before stringing up those twinkling lights, keep a couple things in mind. In older homes, electrical safety is important because most of them weren’t wired to withstand today’s electrical load limits. Avoid plugging too many items into an electrical socket, and don’t string together more than three strands of lights. Make sure you purchase holiday lights that have been tested for safety by an independent laboratory. Also, don’t hang indoor lights outside – or vice versa. Lastly, inspect your lights to make sure they are in good condition. This means checking for exposed wires or shattered bulbs, which should be replaced.

36 • 92009Magazine.com • December 2015 | January 2016

Don’t Forget that Tree!

In our warm Southern California climate, those who have a Christmas tree in their home should regularly check water levels. A dry tree is especially susceptible to catching fire. When first purchasing your tree, choose one with fresh green needles. Before placing the trunk into its stand, prevent your tree from drying out early by cutting two inches from the base of the trunk. Make sure to place your tree at least three feet from any source of heat such as a fireplace, lamp, or radiator, and avoid keeping your tree lights lit when you’re asleep, as most fires occur overnight. Once holiday festivities have come to a close, dispose of your tree sooner rather than later to avoid letting it dry out.

Space Heater Set-Up

While it might be hard for visitors to believe, San Diego actually can get a little chilly during winter. During these times, many choose to use space heaters rather than a furnace because it is less expensive – especially in larger homes. If you use a space heater, make sure it has been professionally tested for safety. Set up the heater so that there is nothing surounding it such as curtains or furniture that can catch fire. Always turn off the space heater before falling asleep, simply allow it to warm up your room. Because heaters require a lot of electricity, make sure it is plugged into its own outlet and not an extension chord.


Don’t Let a Sore Throat Ruin Your Holidays by Russell Zane, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Carlsbad

Your throat is scratchy and raw, and you feel miserable. Most sore throats are caused by viral infections, so put your comfortable sweats on, curl up on the couch, and try these simple home remedies to feel better so you can enjoy the holidays. Anti-inflammatories are one of the most effective remedies for sore throats. Nonprescription medicines that may already be in your medicine cabinet, such as ibuprofen, can ease the swelling associated with a sore throat and make you feel better. If you have asthma, stomach, or kidney issues, avoid aspirin or ibuprofen. Acetaminophen is also an option for pain relief if an anti-inflammatory cannot be used.

Gargle with warm salt water several times a day. Combine one teaspoon of table salt with eight ounces of warm water. Stir until the salt dissolves, gargle for several seconds, and spit out. The warm salt water helps temporarily relieve sore and scratchy throat discomfort. Over-the-counter throat lozenges and sprays can also help by stimulating saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist. Many lozenges also contain menthol, which numbs the tissue in your throat. Avoid giving lozenges to young children as they are a choking hazard. Drink fluids such as water, warm teas, or soups, to stay hydrated and relieve an irritated throat. Adding some honey to your tea or warm water may increase the soothing properties, as honey can help to reduce swelling and discomfort. If you choose chicken soup, you will be getting some of the nutrients you need

in addition to the hydration value. Avoid drinks that are too hot as this could irritate your throat. Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier to add moisture and eliminate dry air. Breathing in moist air can help soothe swollen tissue in your nose and throat. Rest is important to give your body time to heal. Make sure you get enough sleep at night and, if possible, stay home for a couple of days and take it easy. If you have a severe sore throat accompanied by a high fever or swollen tonsils, or your sore throat persists for more than a few days, call your doctor. If your sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, you will need antibiotics. If a sore throat is a symptom of a condition other than a viral or bacterial infection, other treatments will be considered depending on the diagnosis. ¢

Russell Zane, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Carlsbad. Dr. Zane provides comprehensive primary care, with an interest in sports medicine and adolescent medicine. When not with patients Dr. Zane enjoys golf and martial arts.

San Diego's Beloved Balboa Park Has Something for Everyone This Winter by LAINEY KRAL

Y

The time off for the kids makes this the perfect time to explore one of San Diego’s most beloved destinations. Balboa Park offers a number of free year-round activities for the whole family, as well as some special events for the holiday season.

Museums will be open free in the evenings, the Botanical Building will be filled with poinsettias, and the United Nations Building will offer decorations and cards from all over the world.

festival will take place Friday, Dec. 4 from 3 to 11 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5 from 12 to 11 p.m. Learn more at www.balboapark.org/decembernights.

Guided Tours If you’re unfamiliar with Balboa Park, or just want an expert’s guidance to get

to know the park better, one of the free guided tours might be just what you need. Local organizations of experts and park rangers offer regular tours focused on architectural history, birdwatching, park flora and fauna, general park history, and more. Find out more about specific tours at www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/ parks/regional/balboa/tours.shtml.

Residents Free Tuesdays Every Tuesday of the month, a different set of Balboa Park’s acclaimed museums is open to San Diego City and County residents for free, as well as active military and dependents. Be sure to bring your ID. Learn more and check which museums are free on which Tuesdays at www.balboapark.org/visit/tuesdays.

KATHY’S LEGACY FOUNDATION FIGHTS AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE photos by Jeff Kassebaum Photography

F

ounded in honor of Kathy Scharbarth, Kathy’s Legacy Foundation (KLF) is a local nonprofit that funds programs to benefit the victims of domestic violence and their children. In an effort to raise funds and awareness for their cause, the Foundation recently held its first-ever Inspiring Dreams Gala at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. Nearly 300 people attended the event and danced the night away to live music from The Fabulous Ultratones. Guests also enjoyed live and silent auctions with featured items for bid such as a Cobra Puma Golf Experience and luxurious getaways to Maui and Palm Desert. Kathy’s teenage daughter presented the Inspiring Dreams Award to long-time domestic violence advocate Casey Gwinn. KLF Co-founder Ginny Scharbarth commented, “We are thrilled and overwhelmed by the support from the community. San Diego

County has rallied around our goal of helping people traumatized by abuse and helped us to raise more than $100,000. Our foundation has only been around for a little more than a year but we are committed to being a voice, not an echo. This is just the beginning of the support we plan to provide for these families.” KLF’s long-term goal is to build Kathy’s Village and Kennel to provide an all-inclusive safe haven for survivors of domestic violence, their children, and pets.

From School Project to Nonprofit PACIFIC RIDGE STUDENT FOUNDS PROGRAM TOOLS ORGANIZE SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

T

wo years ago, Pacific Ridge student David Wiesley was walking through his younger brother’s elementary school when he noticed perfectly good school supplies – piles of markers, rulers, and notebooks – in the trash bins headed for landfills. Knowing these items could still be useful, David started a project that would allow people to donate gently used school supplies to underfunded schools and students in need instead of throwing them away. Tools Organize Successful Students (TOSS) has quickly grown from a school project to a successful nonprofit and is currently in its third year.

TOSS works with the associated student body (ASB) of donor schools to plan and advertise the collection of gently used school supplies, and then places collection bins around the school for the students to donate their supplies. David explained, “It is my hope and dream for the future to see TOSS positioned in every community. Education is the basis for success in a society and we have the ability to provide the tools for students to succeed in education. The goal of TOSS is to educate, celebrate, motivate, and inspire students by identifying ways to spread the program and help as many underfunded schools as possible.” TOSS currently donates supplies to Monarch School, Johnson Elementary, Casa de Amparo, San Diego Youth Services, and Tossaint Academy, and has benefited an estimated 3,500 local students in need.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Carlsbad’s Housing Has Recovered... Is It Going to Hold? C arlsbad's housing market has experienced a steady recovery since 2012 with median values in most neighborhoods up 18 to 25% compared to where we were three years ago (according to MLS data 92009 rose 20.2% in that period). This is due in large part by the extended period of low interest rates available for those able to qualify, coupled with the perpetual attraction to own a home here in coastal North County. Without the benefit of a crystal ball and assuming there are no jarring rate hikes, economy stalls, or unemployment spikes, it's plausible that current home values will prove realitively stable. Evidenced by the extremely tight lending standards that buyers have endured over the past six years which has created a more solid financing foundation than the period leading up to the peak of 2005 through 2006. For info on how to make the most of the market before your next move up, down, or out of town call Mike at 760-815-6190. ¢

The Grauer School is celebrating 25 years as an innovator in Grades 7-12 small school education. We know that a large, regimented school can too easily imprison a young mind. A small one can free it for discovery. In the end, this is what every parent wants for his or her child. In 2015, Grauer’s 27 seniors have been accepted to 95% of the colleges to which they applied. They’ve amassed $6.9 million in scholarship offers. And they’ve loved coming to school each day. Pay us a visit. See if our learning environment is right for your college-bound child. At 25, we can say with confidence that our small school culture puts us way out front. |

T

he 13th Annual ArtSplash Chalk Art and Entertainment Festival returned to Carlsbad in late September with a colorful weekend of art and family fun. Every year at ArtSplash, professional artists gather to decorate the pavement with museum-quality chalk paintings and families from all over North County come to watch in awe. This year’s event, in the theme of “A September to Remember,” featured the magical 3D chalk art of internationally-renowned artist Tracy Lee Strum and performances by the Fern Street Circus, as well as sand sculpture by Gerry Kirk, and entertainment by the Vista Buddhist Temple Shokenji Taiko Drummers and the Euphoria Brass Band. Attendees also had the opportunity to create their own family chalk squares, and many local teachers brought their students to create art projects. Proceeds from the event benefit arts and music programs in North County schools. ArtSplash Co-founder and Chair Joni Miringoff said, “We thank all the educators for inspiring their students to soar and succeed. Their efforts enable ArtSplash to fulfill its mission as a community celebration for arts education.” For more information visit www.carlsbadartsplash.org or www.facebook.com/carlsbadartsplash. ¢
