Let’s Rock On!

D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT

Jessica Breaux ASSO C IAT E E DI TO R S

Derrick Breaux Publisher

s many of you know, I spent a great deal of my childhood in Texas. I have fond memories of family evenings with a close friend digging into classic country and southern rock songs with nothing more than his deep voice, guitar, and love of entertaining. He was always reluctant to play at first, but after the required nudges, he coincidentally would have his guitar in the truck and treat everyone to a wonderful experience that is hard to match. My wife and I recently opened the door to music in the Breaux household by purchasing a guitar for our son and a piano for our youngest daughter. Each kid chose their own instrument. Microphones, amps, and lots of wires later, we were geared up for them to make some music. So, we found a great music instructor for weekly lessons. It was slow-going at first. While I tried offering words of wisdom (as if I had a clue) about the learning curve and ultimate satisfaction of completing their first song, our kids reluctantly pushed on. Then it happened. Our son learned the chords and vocals to an entire song – Justin Beiber’s Love Yourself. He began playing it more. He tested it out in front of his friends, eventually graduating to open mic nights at local eateries, as well as small festival performances set up by his instructor. Not wanting to be a one-song performer, my son is pushing hard to learn more songs for future shows. I think he’s caught the performing bug. Our daughter is close behind, even though she is still a little unsure about the performance part. Taking things one step further, I used an iPad (and more wires) to turn our living room into a karaoke studio. Okay, so I just made that sound better than it really is, but it’s a cool setup nonetheless. What my wife and I witnessed after was nothing short of amazing. Our kids and their friends have been singing just about every song you can think of. They sing some seriously, while others are simply for kicks. The most important thing is that they are laughing, dancing, and having a great time. I’m glad we left our bubble and opened a new opportunity for them. Even if the ultimate outcome is just for them to be able to pick up an instrument and make close friends and family feel good on a relaxing evening in the backyard – it’s worth it. Thanks for reading 92009 Magazine. Be sure to reach out to our advertising partners and let them know you saw them in the magazine.

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher P.S. Get a glimpse at: #PeytonBreauxRocks & #TheFineTuneAcademy on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.

hat began as candle making experiments in their kitchens has turned into a full-time enterprise for Chelsea Wilson and Jasmine Parks. Co-owners of Aura Candles, Chelsea and Jasmine formally launched their small business in 2009 out of their Carlsbad homes. “After supporting other makers’ candles for many years, I decided it was time to figure out how to make my own,” Jasmine shared. She found a willing helper in Chelsea, who had similar interests. The two met at church and soon became best friends and business partners. “We spent countless hours researching, reading, trying, and failing and then trying again,” acknowledged Jasmine. “I believe the quality of our finished product is a result of so many failed attempts and the perseverance it took to get it right!” Their commitment, alongside the help of excellent mentors, has grown Aura Candles into a successful full-time endeavor. Aura Candles offers a hand-poured, soy-based candle that burns slow and clean and is beautifully fragrant. “Affordable luxury is what we’re all about,” Jasmine said. Working with top perfumers, creating a new fragrance for a candle can take anywhere from a month to a

year. “The creative process is my personal favorite, but it’s also what makes me lose sleep at night!’ Jasmine shared. “We are very picky and each fragrance must be just right!” Chelsea added. One of the benefits of small business ownership is being able to prioritize family. Jasmine, a Carlsbad resident and Encinitas native, and her husband, Jason, have two daughters. Her hobbies include hiking, walking, and drinking coffee. Chelsea and her husband, Steve, are both originally from Ohio and have called Carlsbad home for the last 10 years. The couple have two children and enjoy hiking and going to concerts. Looking ahead, Chelsea and Jasmine are searching for a small commercial space to house their growing business, which is currently based out of Chelsea’s garage. Jasmine’s goal for the long-term is “to land a large chain, maybe Anthropologie or Nordstrom, and attend one of the trade shows in NYC or Atlanta.” As for advice to entrepreneurs, the women shared that good mentors, learning from mistakes, and moving forward in the face of fear are all important. But most important, they confirmed, is being passionate about the business. Jasmine reminded, “Make sure you love it!” 

hen he was 12 years old, Aaron Chang started surfing on a nine-foot South Coast long board his father had purchased for $20. He then became interested in photography during his high school years on the yearbook staff, and while making Super 8 surf movies. “I fell in love with the process of shooting on film and not knowing what you had until you processed the film,” Aaron shared. “Imagine that!” His two passions combined as a senior photographer at Surfing Magazine. “I was able to surf all over the globe,” he said. At 18, he was shooting pictures of tourists in Waikiki for work. “That winter, when the surf was breaking on the north shore of Oahu, I started shooting surfers and selling them prints.” As this enterprise grew, he realized he could make a living shooting in the surf. “The best part about my job is seeing the joy that those who view the images experience. Nothing beats this part of the work.” Throughout Aaron’s long career, he’s focused on exotic travel, visiting over 50 countries from Peru to Russia to Rwanda to Japan. His favorite memory is being surrounded by a herd of hundreds of elephants in Botswana, although they were too close for him to actually photograph.

AARON CHANG SHARES HIS LOVE FOR NATURE THROUGH HIS WORLD-CLASS PHOTOGRAPHY

One of the hardest challenges facing Aaron is staying abreast of the technology, which evolves at a ferocious pace. To be competitive, he must spend over six figures on equipment, computers, and software and be prepared to cycle through this expenditure every 12 to 18 months. “This is a tough pace to maintain,” he confirmed. “Every day there are new things to learn.” The immense beauty of nature is Aaron’s inspiration. His decades of photographic skills, coupled with a deep and studied appreciation for fine art photography, utilizing breakthrough technology, stirs in him the desire to make constant new images. “Sharing these observations is my motivation.” His galleries are a philanthropic force in the Carlsbad community and around the world, hosting fundraising events and working with local schools and national and international organizations like Salvation Army, Plant With Purpose, and World Vision. When asked about his advice to budding artists, Aaron said, “Once you have identified your passion, you need to make a plan for success.” Visit Aaron’s two galleries on Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach and downtown San Diego in the Seaport district. 

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER

WISH GRANTER Lorna Lenk Gives Families and Children Hope Through Make-A-Wish by LYDIA COBB | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

orna Lenk's volunteerism with Make-A-Wish began through her grandson’s illness years ago. “When Trevor was in the hospital, people came to my daughter and son-in-law to talk about Make-A-Wish,” said Lorna. “My daughter was under the impression Make-A-Wish is for the terminally ill, and Trevor was not, he just needed bone marrow transplantation.” That’s what Make-A-Wish is all about, according to Lorna: helping kids like Trevor to “handle and go through what he would be going through.” As Lorna watched how Make-A-Wish buoyed her grandson’s hope, she wanted to give back. She and Trevor put together a family team and enrolled in the fundraising golf tournament that first year – and won! Lorna and her daughter began volunteering together, first as airport greeters welcoming kids and their families arriving for their wish journeys. “I had a mom say she couldn’t thank me enough for being there,” said Lorna. “Knowing that you’re helping them with their wish and making it so easy for them. That’s the joy.” They are now wish granters, and Lorna is looking forward to granting even more this year. Growing up in Alhambra, Lorna attended half a year of junior college before realizing it wasn’t her path. She got a job and married at 20, becoming a full-time mom for 13 years. Her next career was in the secretarial field. When her son Dennis landed on the PGA Tour, Lorna went to work for him and her daughter-in-law before she retired. Now she can be found most often on the golf course. She loves knitting, quilting, family get-togethers, and the beach. She feels blessed to watch her four grandsons grow up and play high school and college sports. Lorna encourages others to register for the annual Walk for Wishes on April 22 to help raise funds so that all kids can experience the magic of wishes during challenging times. In the coming year, the San Diego chapter anticipates granting more than 230 wishes for children in our communities, plus hosting visiting Wish Kids. “There’s still a lot more that I can do and a lot that I can give,” added Lorna, whose biggest wish is that every child’s dream will be realized, and that they’d get well. 

COMMUNITY STUFF

Creating a Sustainable World

Eagle Scout Contributes to Carlsbad

Local nonprofit Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) has named U.S. Navy Retired Rear Admiral Leendert “Len” Hering Sr. to their board of directors. RADM Hering is the executive director of the Center for Sustainable Energy, a 501(c)(3) with the mission to create a sustainable world powered by clean energy. He is a prominent military and civilian sustainability leader with a broad background in energy and environmental issues. His passion in sustainability is educating people on the dangers the future holds without taking responsible actions to secure the nation’s energy independence and to preserve water, air quality, and other resources. “Len brings the depth of experience and knowledge of sustainable practices that are core to our impact,” said SSE Executive Director Sue Prelozni. RADM Hering commented, “Being sustainable includes responsible reuse of materials and resources. SSE provides a path for that to happen and I want to see that idea become mainstream.” SSE has redirected $2.2 million of items – everything from office supplies and furniture to computers and lab equipment – to more than 450 local schools, nonprofits, and start-up businesses. Sue explained, “What we do makes sense for our community organizations in need, supports our environment by diverting useful materials from the landfill, and gives corporations a solution to manage their surplus.” To learn more visit www.sustainablesurplus.org.

North County resident Caleb Leasure recently contributed to the City of Carlsbad by building a trail kiosk at the Paseo Encino trailhead. The project was completed to achieve his Eagle Scout rank from the Boy Scouts of America, an honor that less than one percent of the nation’s population receives. In order to make the rank, Caleb was required to complete 21 badges and has been on over 30 backpacking and mountain climbing treks. He has also mastered rock climbing, white water rafting, canoeing, sailing, and wilderness survival. His service earned him a certificate of appreciation from the City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Commission. The Boy Scouts of America is one of the country’s largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations, giving young people opportunities to build character and be responsible, productive members of society. Learn more at www.scouting.org.

Local Students Star in The Wiz Carlsbad residents Talia Israel, Riley Hull, Talia Wexler, and Jason Wexler are cast members of the JCompany Youth Theatre’s production of The Wiz, several with leading roles. Talia Israel will play Dorothy, Riley will play the Tin Man, and Jason will play Uncle Henry. The play is a retelling of Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of the politically, culturally, and socially charged atmosphere of the ‘60s, featuring musical numbers performed by a diverse and talented cast of local kids. The Wiz mirrors modern day issues with its social commentary, while maintaining the message of transformation that has always been at the root of the original story in a fun and lighthearted way. JCompany is the youth theater program at the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture, providing young artists with the opportunity to develop their creative potential and express themselves through the dramatic arts. Performances of The Wiz run Jan. 13 to 29. For tickets or more information visit www.sdcjc.org/jc. 20 • 92009MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2017

MTF’s 8th Annual 5K Run/Walk photo by Michele Friszell Photography

The Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) will hold its 8th Annual 5K Run/Walk on Feb. 4 at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad. The family-friendly 5K will feature a chip-timed race for runners and a scenic park loop for walkers. There will also be a kids’ obstacle course with prizes, a warrior trophy awarded to the largest team, music, and food. Funds raised at the event will benefit children who fight life-threatening illnesses and their families. “There are so many hurdles faced by these families and we are honored to be able to help them,” said MTF Co-Founder and Executive Director Beth Thorp. MTF is a nonprofit organization started in honor of Mitchell Thorp, who passed away at age 18 after a five-year battle with an undiagnosed illness. The Thorp family was met with an incredible outpouring of love and support from their community during that time, and now seeks to return the favor by offering financial, emotional, and resource support to other families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders.

Local Students Help Save Animals in Africa The Aviara Oaks Middle School (AOMS) Falconbots, a FIRST LEGO League robotics team, have partnered with the Air Shepherd Project to help put an end to elephant and rhino poaching in Africa. Air Shepherd is a program of the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation that combines advanced surveillance drone technology with ranger teams on the ground to find and stop poachers before they kill. Air Shepherd suggests that poachers kill an elephant every 14 minutes and two rhinos a day. At that rate, the animals will be extinct within the next 10 years. In the six months since Air Shepherd has patrolled an area, however, no poaching occurred. The AOMS Falconbots have formulated a pitch for an interactive appbased game called Mission Air Shepherd to help raise funds and public awareness for Air Shepherd so that they can expand their drone program to other African parks. The game would allow the user to simulate the work of an Air Shepherd pilot as he/she flies the drone, photographs the poacher, and shares the poacher’s location with park rangers. The Falconbots team consists of AOMS sixth graders Jared Smith, David Duffer, Ariel Mekis, and Nate Watts. They have already received research support from local CEO Michal Witz of Redemption Games and Air Shepherd Project Program Director Tina Pirazzi. The team is seeking corporate sponsors and volunteer developers to make Mission Air Shepherd a reality. For more information about the Air Shepherd Project visit www.airshepherd.org.

B E H I N D PAG E S Meet the

Team

Producing six issues of 14 community magazines per year is no easy feat. Our goal from the very beginning has been to create local magazines with content that people actually want to read. Luckily for us, we have an all-star squad that works together to make this vision a reality. Behind each issue is our close-knit team – editors who collect the stories, production leaders who work with our valued advertisers, photographers who capture the perfect moment, and graphic designers who make it all look pretty. And while we have different personal interests, all of us here at ZCode have one thing in common: we are passionate about what makes each of these North County communities so special. It’s because of you that we do what we do. Thank you for inviting us into your home and being a loyal reader of 92009 Magazine. We look forward to bringing you exciting community news for many more years to come.

DERRICK BREAUX | Publisher I’ve always found it rewarding to build things. I like the process just as much as I enjoy the end result. It’s great to see each issue of the magazines grow from concept to hard copy. My typical day at the oﬃce consists of interacting closely with the editorial, production, graphics, and sales teams.

LAINEY KRAL | Associate Editor I joined the phenomenal ZCode team two years ago, and the best part of my job is the opportunity to talk to all of you. I love learning about the individuals, families, and organizations that make our communities so special. A North County native currently living in North Park, I spend my weekends hanging out with friends and family, diving into fantasy novels, and riding other people’s horses.

RANDI CANTRELL | Associate Editor Like a lot of my fellow ZCoders, I was born and raised in San Diego. I recently celebrated my first wedding anniversary and my second anniversary of working on the ZCode team. You can find me huddled over the latest edits or planning out our upcoming issues with one of my color-coded spreadsheets. Out of the office, I’m usually searching for that perfect cup of coffee, lifting heavy stuff at the gym, reading a good book, or running interference between my dog and cat, whose friendship is still a work-in-progress thing.

SHYANNE LOPEZ | Associate Editor Born in Los Angeles and raised in Murrieta, I’m somewhat of a newcomer to San Diego. Luckily, joining the fantastic team of creatives at ZCode has really allowed me to learn and love so much about this beautiful city I now call home. When not in the oﬃce searching for cool stories and people to feature, I can be found tending my succulent garden, “discovering” a new brewery, or taking selﬁes with my dog.

24 • 92009MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2017

SAMANTHA EDWARDS | Editorial Assistant I was born and raised in North County San Diego and after spending five years away, I don’t think I’ll ever be leaving again! It has been a dream come true for me to join the ZCode team. In the office you can find me furiously typing away or sifting through piles of paper proofs. Outside of the office I’m usually baking, writing, drinking wine, walking my dog, or spending time with family and friends.

JESSICA BREAUX | Director of Business Development I am a native San Diegan and I couldn’t imagine working, playing, and raising my family anywhere else. I spend most of my evenings and weekends being a soccer mom of three. At the ZCode office one can usually find me juggling lots, just as I do at home. If I’m not at the office pushing paperwork you will find me out networking in our communities.

MARIA FERNANDEZ | Graphic Designer I was born and raised in Mexico where I was surrounded by the love of my big family and friends. Before moving to San Diego I lived in Washington state where I worked at JWT Inside and the University of Washington. I am passionate about graphic design, and I love to connect with the community through my design. It’s a pleasure to be doing what I love at ZCode, a place that has become an extension of my family. I like spending time with my family, hiking, reading, and loud laughter.

SHARI CANETE | Graphic Designer I have strong ties to Canada, but San Diego has always been my home. And I feel very fortunate to be part of the ZCode family. In the office, I’m the one clacking away on the keyboard trying to find the perfect color combo. Out of the office, I’m obsessing over ancient alien theories, running madly outdoors, enjoying San Diego cuisine, or taking my big fur-baby on adventures around the neighborhood. And I’m a huge coffee fiend.

HEATHER LOCKWOOD | Production Coordinator I am a mother to three wonderful children, and a wife to the love of my life of 20 years, with over 10 pets – dogs, cats, guinea pig, and a bird. In my free time, I enjoy making and ﬁxing jewelry for friends and family. I’m known in the oﬃce as “Lockwood” and can usually be found sending emails and being the liaison between our marketing and graphics departments. I love seeing the magazines printed knowing I helped make it happen.

History The Carlsbad Historical Society Preserves, Promotes, and Enhances Knowledge of Local History photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

ince its humble beginning over 40 years ago, the Carlsbad Historical Society (CHS) has stayed true to its core mission: to preserve, restore, and display historical resources, increase knowledge of the area’s history, and maintain unique cultural traditions within the community. The organization is active in the Carlsbad community, collecting historical anecdotes from

longtime residents, conducting research, writing books, giving community outreach talks, and hosting tours for local students. And as the only organization that is dedicated to preserving all of Carlsbad history, board members take their responsibilities very seriously. Join us as we talk with CHS about how the organization is involving the community in its own rich heritage. January | February 2017 • 92009MAGAZINE.COM • 27

C O V E R F E AT U R E

with Carlsbad Historical Society Board Members

CAN YOU BRIEFLY GIVE US THE HISTORY FOR THE CARLSBAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUM? WHEN WAS IT FOUNDED AND BY WHOM? Mayor Robert Frazee invited significant old timers to dinner at the Twin Inns on July 18, 1975 to launch the Carlsbad Historical Society (CHS) as part of the town’s Bicentennial Celebration. Prominent citizens and founding members of the CHS were B.M. Christiansen, Allan O. Kelly, Manuel Castorena, Ray Ede, and Dolores Hutflex; they established our financial, political, and philanthropic standing.

“We interview longtime residents and collect oral histories. We have several dozen videotapes and some audiotapes recording significant details of the history of Carlsbad.”

One of their first important contributions to the community was to get the train depot on the historic preservation priority list. Money was obtained from the federal government and the State, as well as from local donations, to restore the train depot. Before the society had any offices, they used to meet monthly at Denny’s coffee shops for breakfast. Then CHS was given some space in the back of the depot and finally at Magee House. The City Council asked the CHS to manage the Magee House, with the idea that it should be refurbished and operate as a museum of local history.

28 • 92009MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2017

WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THE CARLSBAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY? HOW HAS THIS CHANGED OR DEVELOPED SINCE THE ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED? CHS truly fulfills its mission statement to “increase and enhance the knowledge of the area’s history, maintain cultural traditions of the community, and work with the City of Carlsbad on cooperative preservation, restoration, and display of historical resources.” Although our society has been through different modes of operation, starting with a preservation idea, then becoming more of a social activities organization, and more recently running a museum and holding educational tours and teas, all along the interest and support by our members in the preservation of history is what has kept the society going. HOW DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY STAY CONNECTED WITH THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY? DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOST OR PARTICIPATE IN REGULARLY OCCURRING EVENTS? Members of our society have volunteered their time in many ways to help preserve local history. In addition to collecting, maintaining, and interpreting physical artifacts of Carlsbad history, we maintain a document and photographic archive. We interview longtime residents and collect oral histories. We have several dozen videotapes and some audiotapes recording significant details of the history of Carlsbad. Members of the Carlsbad Historical Society made several professional videos with the local cable TV company. Our members wrote two nonfiction

history books about Carlsbad and two historical fiction children’s books. Other important functions of the CHS include giving historical talks to local organizations, supply answers, and research to many State and local government agencies, and hosting tours for local third grade students. HOW DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY FUND ITS PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS? The Carlsbad Historical Society funds its programs and projects through private donations and investments. DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEED VOLUNTEERS? IF SO, WHAT KINDS OF VOLUNTEERING POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW CAN PEOPLE SIGN UP AND GET INVOLVED? Volunteers are always welcome and especially needed for our third grade school tours, museum displays, community outreach talks, and contributions to our newsletter. BESIDES VOLUNTEERING, WHAT OTHER WAYS CAN COMMUNITY MEMBERS GET INVOLVED WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY? Community members can become involved with the historical society by contributing to our collection of historical knowledge through donations of archival material such as photos, letters, or other documents, or by joining and participating in our activities such as guest lectures and historic tours. WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEET? Our board of directors meets at 4 p.m. on the third Monday every other month starting in January at the Magee House Museum at 258 Beech Drive.

PLEASE GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY BEHIND THE MUSEUM BUILDING WHERE YOU ARE HEADQUARTERED. The Magee House was originally built as a family home by Samuel Church Smith, one of the town founders in 1887. The house was sold to Alexander Shipley in 1890 and remained in the Shipley family until his daughter Florence Shipley Magee willed the house to the City of Carlsbad upon her death to be used for historic and recreational purposes. The building and accompanying barn are original to the site and two of the oldest structures in the City of Carlsbad. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS? WHY ARE THEIR POSITIONS CRUCIAL FOR THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S SUCCESS? Our president oversees the board of directors meetings, suggests events and programs, and makes contact with interested community members. Our first vice president substitutes for the president when necessary, works on increasing our membership, and contributes to our third grade tours. The second vice president contributes as necessary with special events. The treasurer maintains our budget and investments, and our secretary keeps our records and minutes, and contributes to the newsletter.

C O V E R F E AT U R E WHY DO YOU THINK THIS ORGANIZATION IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY? We are important because we are the only organization that is dedicated to preserving all of Carlsbad history. We are the only organization that interacts with other local and State historical organizations, which allows us to build our body of knowledge on our city’s past. WHAT DO YOU MOST ENJOY ABOUT WORKING WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY? President Virginia Unanue: What I love most is getting to see actual artifacts of historical significance to Carlsbad, having grown up here, and seeing all the new displays put up, as they change periodically. So, if someone has visited before, six months later there will most likely be new displays. We also host field trips by school classes to share our history. WHAT ARE THE ORGANIZATION’S SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS? Our goals are always to acquire artifacts or written or oral histories, and preserve and protect the history of Carlsbad. We operate our museum at Magee House, which is owned by the City, and the physical plant is maintained by the City. We also work at increasing membership, and very importantly, sharing the city’s history with the public. IF YOU COULD GRANT ONE WISH FOR THE CARLSBAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY, WHAT WOULD THAT WISH BE? Virginia: If I could have one wish for our historical society, it would be to increase public knowledge of our museum’s existence, and to have more of our citizens visit the museum.

“The City offices received a phone call from a man in Vista, who told them that there was a giant chicken in the dumpster in front of his apartment building, and he’d been told it belonged to Carlsbad.”

ARE THERE ANY FUN FACTS ABOUT CARLSBAD HISTORY THAT OUR READERS MIGHT FIND INTERESTING OR AMUSING?

Virginia: One of my favorite stories involves one of the giant Twin Inns chickens, which were a landmark for travelers wishing to stop at the Inn for one of their famous chicken dinners. When the Twin Inns closed and Neiman’s opened their restaurant there, the chickens were dispersed. Two of the four were put on a plinth at Rotary Park in Carlsbad. One day, the two of them disappeared, and it was assumed that they’d never again be seen. But no! The City offices received a phone call from a man in Vista, who told them that there was a giant chicken in the dumpster in front of his apartment building, and he’d been told it belonged to Carlsbad. The City sent a truck, picked it up, and put it in the care of the historical society. It was repaired by some

30 • 92009MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2017

of the members, and has been on display at our facility ever since! One can come to the barn at Magee Park and see it. Visitors who are longtime residents are always so thrilled when they see it. “Oh, it’s one of the chickens! I used to play around them when I was a child.” What a wonderful addition to our museum, and it’s so much fun to see how excited people are to see it. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE OUR READERS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CARLSBAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY? Virginia: The museum run by the Carlsbad Historical Society is truly a treasure, and it’s largely unknown by the city’s residents. We hope that more people will discover this amazing place, and visit it often. It’s open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We also arrange a private tour that ends in a high tea in the Victorian dining room of the house, which is by appointment only and not just for drop-in visitors. There’s a small fee of $15, and tea visitors will be hosted by people dressed in Victorian costume. It’s a lovely experience, but a visit during one of our open-to-the-public days is also a wonderful thing to do. We hope to see you all there soon. ¢

ancing by the age of two, Juliette Martinez hasn’t stopped or even slowed down since then. “I remember watching my mom teach Jazzercise, and I would be looking in the mirror just bouncing around to the music,” she said. “So my mom decided to enroll me in a ballet class.” Despite a complete loathing of ballet tights, she fell in love with dance. At age nine, she attended a summer dance intensive at Hammond Studio of Dance, and that experience of dancing competitively clinched it. Now a junior at the Orange County School of the Arts, Juliette dances all styles: jazz, tap, ballet, modern, hip-hop and contemporary, with contemporary as one of her favorites. “I train in all styles because I think that being versatile is what makes a dancer so special.” Juliette has a myriad of experiences as she’s grown. For seven years she trained with Carlsbad’s Evoke Dance Movement. The diverse training in all styles, under Owner Stacy Sopher and Creative Director Courtney Barclay, have given her the tools she needs to excel now and in the future. She

sees Stacy as a second mom and Courtney as a crucial influence. “Evoke has been one of the most incredible things to ever happen to me,” she said. Now she has a daily commute to and from OCSA, an 8-to-5 school day and studio hours at night in Carlsbad, coupled with weekend conventions and master classes. “But it really helps that I never lose my motivation,” she affirmed. “I am constantly striving to be the best I can be with everything I do.” She sees college in her future, and would love for dance to be a part of it. Her dream school is USC as a part of the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. Teachers introduced Juliette to the idea of applying to YoungArts, the sole nominating agency for the U.S Presidential Scholar in the Arts. She was excited, honored, and humbled to be named a 2017 YoungArts winner in the Modern Dance category. “I am hoping to make more connections with master artists that will benefit my training and provide more opportunities in the future.” She has already been able to work with a long list of choreographers, and assisted at the Artists Simply Human Convention for the 20142015 season. “As a YoungArts winner, I am grateful and excited about the opportunities that will follow as a result.” 

After 12 weeks of studying the journey archetype in class, Corrie and Sarah decided to give their students the opportunity to shift the inward study to a more outward focus. “Our goal was to finish the first trimester of our students’ English 4 class with a concrete life skill that would be transferable to them as adults,” said Sarah. So, combining components of the text they studied and experiences with guest speakers, the three-day Gratitude Workshop was born. The class started the workshop by reading two articles about the benefits of gratitude and watching a video about the role that gratitude plays in the science of happiness. Students were then asked to identify and write a letter of gratitude

to three people in their lives. On the day of their final, the students called those three people and read their letters out loud and on camera. “I don’t believe that anyone left the classroom that day without a sense of accomplishment and pure joy, knowing that they made a difference in the day of someone that they love,” said student Madison Surrency. “I think that feeling and impact was exactly what my teachers were trying to create, and I absolutely believe that it was worth the risk.” News of the workshop is spreading. Corrie and Sarah have already been contacted by other teachers from across the state asking for their lesson plan. “Not only do we intend to do this project with our seniors every year,” they said, “we hope to spread gratitude to schools and homes across the country in this same way!” ¢

he La Costa 35 Athletic Club (LC35AC) recently hosted its 6th Annual No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em Charity Poker Tournament at the Rancho Santa Fe Motor Club to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC).

ICE SKATING

THROUGH SAN DIEGO Discover One (Or More!) of San Diego’s Many Ice Skating Rinks This Winter by SAMANTHA EDWARDS

here aren’t many places in the world where you can lace up your skates and glide along the ice, palm trees swaying in the Pacific Ocean breeze, and then step off the rink and onto the beach in the middle of winter. Such is the case, however, at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado’s Skating by the Sea beachfront ice rink. Not only are you able to enjoy the sound of waves lapping at the shore but you will likely be swept up in the wintery cheer of it all – twinkling lights, festive music, and hot cocoa to start. But the Hotel Del isn’t the only place to ice skate this winter. Our beautiful city is home to several special holiday rinks as well as a number of rinks open yearround. Indoor ice rinks offer a variety of fun activities all year long, including public skating sessions, figure skating lessons, ice hockey leagues, broomball, ice polo, curling, and more. Some, like Escondido’s IcePlex, even have special winter-themed events to help get you in the holiday mood. While year-round rinks let you bundle up in thick socks and scarves even in the middle of July, San Diego’s holiday rinks are nothing short of magical. Viejas Outlet Ice Rink, for example, is a seasonal favorite and boasts the title of Southern California’s largest outdoor ice rink (even said to be bigger than the one at Rockefeller Center), where guests can enjoy shopping, entertainment, and a holiday water show all in one place. Poway’s Community Winter Festival features not only ice skating, but s’mores, fun decorations, and even sledding! Or you might check out the brand new outdoor rink at Point Loma’s Liberty Station, with all proceeds benefiting the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego. How’s that for holiday spirit?

2017 Real Estate Forecast

he San Diego housing market continues to soar due to low inventory and high buyer demand. Most housing markets in the rest of the state will continue to sizzle in 2017, while most of the country could experience a cooling trend. Mortgage rates will likely hover in the 3.5% range for the short term but could rise above 4% through the first half of 2017. Loan limits could also rise next year in some parts of San Diego county in response to rising home values. This housing market forecast comes from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), which recently predicted a slight rise in mortgage rates through the end of this year. The MBA expects

the average rate for a 30-year home loan to reach 3.7% by the end of 2016, and to continue rising gradually throughout 2017. Many California cities experienced tremendous price growth over the last few years. But that’s beginning to change. Housing markets across the state are slowing down as demand softens. Affordability is an issue in many of these markets. Buying a home has become cost-prohibitive in many parts of the state, for the majority of residents. In San Diego for example, home prices are expected to rise by just 1.7% over the next 12 months, compared to a gain of 4% over the last year or so, and buyer demand will continue to rise.
