:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Golf… Friends… and a Little Me Time! I keep a pretty full calendar. Between work, family time and our kids’ sporting activities, I tend to stay on the go without a whole lot of down time. People often ask me if I play golf. My typical reply is that I try to play golf, but it’s hard to find the time. To be honest, I am definitely no Phil Mickelson. Sure, I dust off the clubs, get out there and swing now and then, but my score card is not something to write about. However, there is one golfing event that I do look forward to participating in once a year – my son’s annual Little League golf tournament fundraiser. It’s not so much the golf that I look forward to. Instead, it’s the pure idea of getting together with close friends and family members to spend a day playing. An adult day. No work… No kids… No real sense of responsibility… Just a group of guys goofing off, cracking jokes, having good conversation and knocking a little white ball down the fairway – all for a good cause. There’s something to be said about taking a little personal time and clearing the mind. Combine that with good company surrounded by a little competitive sporting event, and you very well may find yourself amidst a great day. A day that is good for the soul. As we grow older and take on more responsibilities with work and family, it is all too easy to get caught up in the daily grind. The fact of the matter is that I actually love my daily grind. There’s not much that I would change. However, it’s these occasional days – the gift of setting aside some personal time – that puts everything in perspective and recharges the batteries. I plan to have more of these days, whether on the golf course or some other place. Spending time with friends and family… Laughing… Reflecting… Keeping things simple and appreciating life… I think we all need a little ‘me’ time now and then. Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Hail to the Chief Carlsbad Fire Division Chief Bill Anderson Looks Back on 23 Years by wynne love | photos by Soul of Photography
A
fter 23 years serving the community of Carlsbad, Division Chief Bill Anderson is ready to retire. His wealth of skills, determined work ethic, and love for the job has made him indispensable to the force. "Prior to entering the fire service in North County, I was a volunteer in Stevensville, Montana," related Chief Anderson. "This experience made me realize this is a calling, not just a career choice." Anderson was hired by the Carlsbad Fire Department in 1990 and quickly distinguished himself. He was promoted to Fire Engineer in 1997, Captain in 2004 and Battalion Chief in 2007. In 2009, he received the Meritorious Service Award for his help fighting the Harmony Grove Fire of 1996, and in 2011 he was promoted to Division Chief. "I have enjoyed working my way up the ranks and can say the caliber of firefighters who I have had the pleasure of working with and hiring for the Carlsbad Fire Dept. is unmatched in our region and across the country," stated Anderson proudly. "Having that level drives all of us to be leaders in this industry." Anderson worked as a heavy equipment/truck mechanic before joining the force, making him a great asset in the maintenance and purchase of equipment. He has also helped develop hiring and promotional exams in hopes of attracting the most capable new recruits and providing motivating advancement opportunities for those currently on the force. "This department and city has always expected the best out of its employees and the best service for our customers," declared Anderson. "It is with great pride I can retire knowing I stood side by side with my fellow employees and maintained the highest level of service even when times were tough." After 21 years in Vista, Anderson and his wife now plan to move to western Montana. "I have a saint for a wife and two great kids who I give 100% credit for any successes I have had in life. I would give them the Nobel Peace Prize for their tolerance and support if it were at my disposal," joked Anderson. Now he hopes to "enjoy a slower pace." We wish him well.

Hi-Noon Rotarians Build Hopes and Dreams from the Ground Up
R
ecently, 12 members of the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary club, along with some of their family members, spent 16 hours building a home for a family in the Las Colonias area of Tijuana. It was the 10th house in 10 years built by the Rotarians under the auspices of Project Mercy, which has been coordinating homebuilding projects for 25 years. Not only did the Rotarians build the house in one day, but club members donated a large truckload of supplies to the family – from clothing to housewares to school supplies and food, as well as $300 in cash. “It was a life-changing experience for all parties involved,” said Rotarian Al Wanamaker, who chaired this construction project as he has since the Hi-Noon Rotary Club first adopted project a decade ago. Project Mercy provided the lumber for the 16 x 20-foot house, along with preparing a cement slab floor. Then, as they have done for the past 10 years, the build team constructed the one-room house from the ground up. According to Al, this year’s site was particularly challenging. There was minimal space to work with since there was a large
mound of debris and a five-foot hill on one side of the slab and a sharp drop-off on the other, leaving the team with about a foot of space beyond the slab. Walls were constructed on the ground and then lifted into place by a team pushing them upward. After the walls were up, the team constructed the roof, built the staircase and the loft, trimmed the windows and the front door and then painted. Homeowner Anna joined the crew for a photo in front of her new home with her son upon completion. Anna’s husband and father, who also share the home were at work during the photo opportunity. Through an interpreter, Anna told the Rotarians she was “so happy for my son to have a house…we won’t be cold and wet anymore.” She said she hoped for a better life for him. The build team consisted of Faye Bell, Kait Bell, Mark Ealy, Mary Fritz-Wilson, Patty and Jeff Johnson, Kay Ledson, Al Landis, Steve Mott, Dr. Mark Packard, Ken Ryan, Susan Toft, Walt Waggener and Al Wanamaker. ¢ The Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club meets Mondays at noon at the Hilton Garden Inn on Highway 101.

Revolutionizing Football Culture
The Heads Up FootballSM Program Creates a Safer Playing Environment
T
by AMY LEHRER
he national governing body of American football and the official youth development partner of the NFL, USA Football, created Heads Up FootballSM, the new standard for teaching football fundamentals. Fully supported by the NFL, the NFL foundation, the NCAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations, the Heads Up FootballSM program is revolutionizing football culture. Clare Graff, a publicity manager for the NFL, explained, “The number one goal of Heads Up Football is to provide our kids the safest possible environment to learn the fundamentals of the game.” Leagues wishing to become Heads Up Certified must adopt five tenets: educate coaches, learn how to recognize and respond to concussions, teach proper tackling techniques, ensure proper equipment fitting and maintenance and comply with designated safety protocols. Every coach must take USA Football’s nationally accredited Level 1 Coaching Education course, and coaches, parents and players must attend clinics prior to and during each season to learn concussion protocols. Then, during the season through a series of non-contact and low-contact drills to assure safety and proper skill progression, players learn tackling fundamentals that include keeping their heads up and out of the line of
16 • 92009Magazine.com • June | July 2013
contact. Learning correct tackling techniques early enables athletes to build muscle memory, which will protect them as they progress. Coaches, parents and players are included in all training sessions so that everyone can help make football safer. NFL ambassadors to the program like San Diego native Eric Allen – a former American football cornerback who played for three NFL teams – work alongside players, parents and coaches to promote safe ways to learn football fundamentals. The ambassadors enjoy supporting their communities by making football safer and more efficient than it was when they played. Pediatric Neuropsychologist, Dr. Gerard Gioia, expressed his support by stating, “I am particularly impressed by the Heads Up Tackling program’s emphasis on proper body positioning. I believe training of our coaches in these ‘head safe’ techniques, together with an understanding of the negative consequences of multiple blows to the head, will better protect our athletes.” As of May 14, more than 1,300 youth leagues have adopted Heads Up FootballSM for the 2013 season, and the goal is to bring it to all 10,000 youth football leagues across the United States. And due to the safety benefits and support offered, some high school football programs may adopt and endorse Heads Up Football as early as this season. ¢

hen someone hears the name Nicole “Colie” Martin, he or she might not believe Colie is only a freshman at La Costa Canyon (LCC) High School. He or she would be astounded at hearing about the athletic artistry Colie displays at such a young age. It's only natural those in question would love to hear more. Nicole “Colie” Martin is by her own account a highly energetic La Costa Oaks “goofball” who loves to make people laugh and enjoys being on the go. She frequents Ponto Beach daily during the summers, shops at The Forum Carlsbad and lives for

Borelli’s Italian food. Colie loves learning English and math in school. She is quick to mention that her math teacher, Mr. Fletes, makes it fun and always give extra help. Colie’s real story, however, is in sports. She plays in not one but three sports and excels in them all. She is on the LCC varsity track team, Rancho Santa Fe Attack Soccer team and she plays field hockey. She’s played soccer since she was four, and she started field hockey and track in the 7th grade. Colie’s mother wanted her to try hurdles because her sister (Colie’s Aunt Geri) was a 1980 Olympic hopeful in the 400 meter hurdles. Colie learned the ins and outs of hurdling from a high school hurdler named
Julian Todd Borden, and her mother’s wish is coming true because Colie has started winning medals for hurdles on her track team. She was also voted defensive player of the year on her LCC JV soccer team, and has been offensive player of the year for the 7th and 8th grade field hockey team. Not enough? She did all this while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Colie is extremely busy producing many works of athletic artistry, but she can’t do it alone. To correct some glitches in her running style, Colie started training at Prolific Athletes. “My mom and I can’t stop talking to people about the benefits of working with Prolific Athletes,” she smiled. “They have the workout down to an actual science and I totally enjoy the training.” Colie continued on to say, “I have improved each race with my twice a week, two-hour training sessions with Ryan and his team. They are so professional and know their stuff.” While continuing her training and complete love of sports, Nicole “Colie” Martin is our student star – for many good reasons!
“I have improved each race with my twice a week, two-hour training sessions with Ryan and his team [at Prolific Athletes]. They are so professional and know their stuff.”

he Olsons are a close-knit clan – sometimes even as close as packed sardines! Whether cramped up closely in their home during kitchen renovations, or cramped up closely in their car during long road trips, the easygoing family still manages to enjoy themselves. Consisting of dad Jeff, mom Shyra, and daughters Taylor (9) and Ryan (7), this loving brood has been happily ensconced in their La Costa home for the past 12 years. “We have learned it doesn’t take a whole lot of space for a family of four to live. We could camp out every day!” Shyla happily admitted.

PROFILE INFORMATION Parents: Community: Parent’s Hometown: Occupation: Children:
Jeff (46); Shyra (41) La Costa since 2001 Jeff – Fair Oaks, CA; Shyra – San Diego, CA Sales Taylor (9), 3rd grade at Santa Fe Christian; Ryan (7), 2nd grade at Santa Fe Christain Pets: Cody, Yellow Lab; Lucy Lou, Pomeranian
The foursome especially loves packing up their car and heading out on exciting excursions. Shyra exclaimed, “We are a road trip family. If we can drive there, we will do it!” The Olsons frequently visit Lake Tahoe, which is near Jeff’s hometown of Fair Oaks, and revel in skiing, paddle boarding, camping and fishing. Plus, every summer the family heads up the coast to attend the Carmel Bach Festival, and commemorate their wedding anniversary with Jeff’s parents, whose anniversary is two weeks before theirs. Jeff elaborated, “We were married in Carmel-by-the-Sea in, and we made it a tradition to celebrate our anniversaries and Bach music every year. It is one of our favorite things to do!” This family also relishes their lake house in Michigan, where the daughters are learning about the challenges of fishing. Last summer, Taylor managed to catch a two-foot-long bass with her own pink fishing pole. Unfortunately, as Jeff recalled, “The girls screamed, dropped their poles and ran away. We tried to reel the fish in, but managed to break the pole and the line.” Jeff was kind enough to replace Taylor’s fishing pole, “And it had to be pink, as that was the lucky color!” Jeff chuckled. When the Olsons aren’t journeying away on an adventure, they keep busy with their local endeavors. Jeff is a national sales manager for Seiko Instruments, and Shyra is a strategic major account manager for Verizon Wireless. Shyra also volunteers at her daughters’ school, Santa Fe Christian, and is a co-chair for American Heritage Girls, a Christ-centered character development program. The daughters keep active with softball, dance and gymnastics, and the family’s preferred haunts include Ponto Beach, the Forum, Golden Spoon and Crust Pizzeria. “We are there at least once a week!” Shyra proclaimed. Catch the Olson family out and about as they hit these neighborhood hot spots.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Needs Your Help
For the first time in the organization’s history, the 17 Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) agencies serving the state of California have joined together to launch an inaugural state-wide male recruitment campaign calling for men to “Man Up” and fill the need for male role models for the boys of California. Big Brothers Big Sisters is experiencing a critical need for men to volunteer across the state. More than 70% of children waiting for mentors are boys, but less than four of every 10 new volunteers are men. Boys wait an average of 275 days before being matched with a Big Brother. The situation is more dire in San Diego with boys waiting an average of 18 months. To learn more, visit www.ManUpCalifornia.com or sign up to volunteer at www.SDBigs.org. If now is not an ideal time for you to volunteer, but you want to make a difference, please consider sponsoring a Big and Little match and donating at www.SDBigs.org. BBBS is a free program to all children who enroll. BBBS is supported almost entirely through private donations and other fundraising activities to support the costs associated with recruiting, screening, matching and fully supporting a successful, safe match.

Carlsbad Girl Scouts Allison Tanita and Elizabeth Gerhardt of Junior Troop 1661 each earned a free trip to camp by selling for than 525 boxes of Girl Scout cookies a piece. The fourth-graders will attend a session called Camp Out Loud, where they’ll try a variety of classic camp activities, including crafts, outdoor cooking and nature studies. When Allison, who has always been the top cookie seller in her troop, went to camp for the first time last year, the counselors made her feel comfortable being away from her family. “I met so many new and interesting people,” said Allison. “I’m definitely looking forward to attending Camp Winacka again.” Elizabeth is excited about her first summer at sleep-away camp – she sold more cookies than ever before to earn it. For her, the biggest draw of camp is the opportunity to try new things. For details, visit www.sdgirlscouts.org or call 800-643-4798.
City Council Unanimously Approves San Diego River Park Master Plan
Recently, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the San Diego River Park Master Plan. The Master Plan, a policy document to guide future development along the 17.5 miles of the San Diego River, provides the vision and guidance to restore a relationship between the river and surrounding communities by creating a river-long park, stretching from the San Diego River headwaters near Julian, to the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach. Upon passage of the plan, Councilmember Scott Sherman, who represents the vast majority of communities along the San Diego River, thanked his colleagues for their support. “A park system along the San Diego River will increase recreation opportunities for our residents, preserve and enhance the river’s natural resources and help improve the quality of life of our local communities,” said Sherman. The Master Plan is the result of grassroots efforts begun by the San Diego River Park Alliance in 2001 and the San Diego River Park Foundation who have worked in partnership with the City of San Diego, community planning groups and advisory bodies. Their continued involvement will be important to successful implementation of the overall goal.

he Carlsbad Village Faire featured over 900 unique vendors, making it the largest single day street faire in the nation. Hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, the event offered a little of everything, including arts and crafts, antiques, unique clothing, items from around the world and more. Now in its 40th year, the free event has grown to be so popular that it not only attracts people from the CA coastal communities, but also from other states. Some visitors even plan their vacations around the bi-annual event. “The reason so many people return to the faire every year is that they can count on finding quality items to purchase because of the wide variety of vendors,” said Ted Owen, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Carlsbad Chamber. “You name it and it’s for sale at the faire.”Highlights of the day included the international food center that featured over 50 booths, children’s rides, the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s beer and wine garden and the old-fashioned pancake breakfast hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Carlsbad. Mark your calendars for Sunday, Nov. 3 when the faire hits the Carlsbad Village once again.

Guaranteed Rate’s Enzo Morales Helps Families Achieve the Dream of Home Ownership by WYNNE LOVE | photos by Michael Bielecki
28 • 92009Magazine.com • June | July 2013
SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT
“The most rewarding part of my job has always been to help families achieve the dream of home ownership.” ~Enzo Morales,
VP of Mortgage Lending for Guaranteed Rate
E
nzo Morales hopes his clients never have to endure the kind of lending nightmare he did while purchasing his first home in 2000. “Unfortunately, I fell prey to an unethical mortgage lender,” lamented Enzo. So he took action. “I decided to research the industry to find recourse for this individual,” recounted Enzo. “What I actually found was that I understood the function of lending and credit worthiness when it pertains to real estate and mortgage.” And so began Enzo’s work as a personal mortgage lender. Enzo now works as vice president of mortgage lending at Guaranteed Rate, where he regularly helps other families get the loans they need to get into homes they love, and
sets a new standard in customer satisfaction while he does it. “The most rewarding part of my job has always been helping families achieve the dream of home ownership,” declared Enzo. Enzo’s own parents bought their first home after emigrating from Peru. “I remember how wonderful it was to finally buy our first home here as a family,” shared Enzo. “I aspire to give others the opportunity to start their lives with their families.” With the help of his team at Guaranteed Rate, Enzo does just that, with notable results. Jesse, a realtor who works closely with Enzo and his team, shared his praise for their speed of service. “They were able to close the loan in 14 days from start to finish. To be able
to close in less than the traditional 30 days is a very impressive advantage,” exclaimed Jesse. Today’s buyers know the value of that speed of service all too well and appreciate a lender who can truly deliver. “Selena and I wanted to thank you so much for everything you and your team have done to help us get our home,” gushed Anthony, a former client. “It was a pleasure working with you.” “While other mortgage lenders may treat their customers as just a number, my team prides itself on providing exceptional customer service by being honest and upfront, so you can feel confident that you are getting a secure loan in a timely manner,” said Enzo.

We had the opportunity to discover the ins and outs of the highly anticipated event from Tammy Urie, Executive Director of the event. From Frazee Beach at Pine Avenue to Tamarack Beach at Tamarack Avenue, the Carlsbad Beach Foundation and all those involved with the planning have quite a lineup up in store for the day. Whether it’s the beach and water activities, entertainment, cuisine or the beach cleanup, there is something for everyone. Growing from 850 people in 2008 to over 9,000 in 2012, the event has become one of Carlsbad’s most important events of the year! Mark your calendar for June 15 and head to the beach!

Q&A with Tamara Urie
President & Executive Director, Carlsbad Beach Foundation Inc.
What is the history behind the Carlsbad Beach Foundation?
The foundation was established in 2011 as a 501(c) (3) public charity after identifying the need to bring the community’s attention to its local beaches and ocean. As a coastal community, the responsibility to protect and enhance our Carlsbad beaches becomes more challenging when climate change and loss of support continue to threaten sustainability. In an effort to meet these challenges we work to cultivate and promote environmental stewardship through education programs, events and activities. We are committed to supplement coastal improvement projects by securing public and private resources and funding.
How did the Foundation become involved with hosting the Annual Carlsbad Beach Fest?
It became a project of ours in 2011 when the event was expanded on a one mile stretch of sand from Frazee Beach to Tamarack as an experiment to prove its desirability and value to the community. With the assistance of a volunteer steering committee, the event’s then director and now the Foundation’s president, collaborated with CA State Parks
to plan and orchestrate the event on a grand scale in an effort to promote conservation and stewardship to the masses of people attending. In addition to a beach clean-up and interpretive booths, the festival provided a variety of fun beach and water activities. The event’s motto was also born, Celebrating Our Recreational Paradise through Good Beach Stewardship, and for the first time its mission encouraged local corporations and businesses to provide funding in order to help sustain and grow it as a Carlsbad legacy event to be enjoyed for years to come.
What is your role as president and executive director of the Carlsbad Beach Foundation?
I have many roles, however one of the most important is to ensure that the foundation’s mission is being communicated successfully and that our efforts are measurable and will make a positive difference for the coastal community.
What is your primary role in putting on the event?
To ensure that our recruited core team of volunteers have the resources to successfully produce a professionally orchestrated community event while
32 • 92009Magazine.com • June | July 2013
communicating and maintaining our environmental mission.
The event this year marks its 6th year. What is the most exciting thing that is in store this year?
Witnessing the linking of hands on the venue’s one mile of coastline for the first time since this ritual was established in 2011! With the help of Kids for Peace located mid-beach and signaling with air horns at 12 noon, we’re hoping the public will feel the excitement and participate.
What is new this year that is different from years past?
The Beach Triathlon which was introduced last year has morphed into the Carlsbad CRAWL Beach Tri this year. To the locals, the Carlsbad CRAWL refers to visiting the multiple pubs and restaurants the village offers. But at Beach Fest, whether you’re on water or
sand, this CRAWL makes for an exciting event to watch and is an endurance driven competition for anyone willing to take on its challenge, which includes a ¼ ocean swim, followed by a run/ obstacle course of nets and sand hills and ending with a one-mile paddleboard race.
How is the event funded?
It is free to the public with the exception of the registration fees required to participate in the sporting events. The entry fees for these competitions help offset the event’s production costs as well as exhibitor booth fees. We also have the support from business sponsorships and grants.
How do you ensure safety aspects during the event?
We partner and work closely with CA State Parks which provides lifeguard resources and enforces safety procedures while the public enjoys the festival.

or the past 18 years, Debra Lea Tomcik has been investigating all of the colors that Carlsbad has to offer. She’s been self-employed in art-related fields for most of her life, owning small businesses from costume design for entertainers to clothing design for children. Debra Lea has been a wholesaler of miniature figurines, with porcelain babies and angels selling to stores throughout the country. Now she has her hand in sculpting one-of-a-kind polymer clay and bronze figures. Debra Lea’s involvement in Carlsbad goes well beyond her individual artistic endeavors. She became involved with local art and music programs shortly after her children began school. Her oldest daughter, a reed instrument musician, was disappointed to discover there was no music program at San Dieguito High School, and Debra Lea had a revelation. “Because I believe that

music and art are important to developing a wellrounded young person,” she explained, “I began to look for opportunities to volunteer from the moment we settled in Carlsbad.” A plan of artistic volunteerism commenced. Debra Lea joined the PTA at her two youngest sons’ school, led programs (“Reflections” and “Art Attack”) and taught art classes in her sons’ classrooms for much of their elementary years. As they approached high school and a new music program began, she helped form the La Costa Canyon Band Boosters organization and does everything from fundraising to field trips to designing and producing uniforms. When she lived in New Jersey, Debra Lea took a doll-making course which sparked her interest in creating figures. She entered one of her bronze pieces (“Breaking out of the Box”) to The Museum of the Living Artist at the San Diego

San Diego Rowing Club Junior Crew Takes it to the Next Level
I
n early May, the San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) Junior Crew participated in the 2013 US Rowing Southwest Junior Championships at Lake Natoma in Sacramento, CA. The SDRC Women’s Varsity Quad finished second at the Southwest Regional Regatta. The quad now advances to the US Juniors National Regatta in Oakridge, TN scheduled for June 7 – 9. The women’s varsity team is coached by a twotime gold medal Olympian, Susan Francia, who participated in the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games. Susan has coached the girls for just a year and is proud of the strong work ethic, exceptional technique and power the girls have displayed. “I am excited how about well the crews performed. The girls had been eagerly preparing for these races and I was impressed with their results. During my first year of coaching, I have to say the one thing that has pleasantly surprised me is how dedicated they are to winning. I am blown away about how self-motivated they are,” shared Susan. The winning SDRC Women’s Varsity Quad are rowers Christine Buckley, a senior at Francis Parker, Marissa Gibson, a junior at La Jolla High School, Alexandra Tatro, a junior at Torrey Pines High School and Mariko Kelly, a sophomore at La Jolla Country Day. Senior Christine Buckley was recruited by UCLA and will be rowing for them in the fall of 2013. The Men’s Varsity Four placed fourth in their heat among the top teams from Arizona, Utah and Northern California in the region. Rowers included: • Michael Wayne – Cathedral Catholic High School • Tristan Jones – Fusion Academy • Harrison Schneider – Torrey Pines High School • Danny Sprague – La Costa Canyon High School • Coxswain Andy Hamilton – Torrey Pines High School Although this will be their last high school rowing experience, most of the boys have been recruited and will row on the collegiate level next year. Harrison Schneider has committed to attend Yale University, Michael Wayne will be attending Northeastern University and Andy Hamilton accepted the offer to University of Wisconsin. All three rowing teams are ranked top ten among the Division-1 programs. SDRC Head Coach, Chris Callahan, has seen how hard these student athletes have worked. “I am proud of the growth of this team. Our boys and girls have taken their rowing to the next level and they are racing harder than they ever have before,” mentioned Chris. SDRC was established in 1888 and is located in Mission Bay. The junior crew program participates in local and regional regattas and has exposure from top college and university recruiting scouts nationwide. In addition to the year round program, SDRC offers Learn to Row camps throughout the summer. Visit www.sdrcjrs.com for more information. ¢

J
oin over 1,500 volunteers at more than 220 intersections throughout San Diego County on June 27 from 6:30 – 9:30 a.m. collecting donations from commuters in the famous size 14 Ronald McDonald Red Shoe! Last year, over $150,000 was raised and the goal this year is to exceed that number. All individuals, groups, clubs, organizations and businesses are welcome to join in on the efforts. If not a volunteer, you are encouraged as a commuter to help in raising the funds. During the morning, volunteers sing, dance, dress up in outlandish outfits and most importantly raise vital funds to help support San Diego Ronald McDonald House families. Participants can be seen at intersections throughout San Diego that morning in their bright yellow shirts and Ronald McDonald House signs, and most notably, the Red Shoes. Each volunteer will be given an official Red Shoe Day 2013 t-shirt. Volunteers who raise more than $150 on their personal fundraising pages through www.Razoo.com/2013RedShoeDay will also receive a Red Shoe Day 2013 hat. Volunteers can register both individually or take an entire intersection with a group. They can complete orientation online or in-person and may pick up Red Shoe Day packets at San Diego’s Ronald
McDonald House located at 2929 Children’s Way, San Diego, CA 92123. Breakfast is often named the most important meal of the day. Thanks to the partners at McDonald’s, volunteers will receive a “Be our Guest” card, good for one free McDonald’s sandwich. After the event, volunteers are invited to share in the success of Red Shoe Day on Saturday, July 17 from 12 – 2 p.m. at San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House for a delicious celebration BBQ. ¢ To register or learn more about the event, visit www.rmhcsd.org/redshoeday/registration.

221 Main St #100, Vista, Ca 92084 Kristi - Wearing Clear Braces & Wires
I
have been a consultant for many years for several orthodontic manufacturing companies. Over these years I have developed or assisted in the development of many products. As of January 1, 2013 I have joined Forestadent Orthodontics, a family owned company which has been in business for more than 100 years. Why is this news potentially important to you? On May 7 we introduced several new brackets (braces). One is an esthetic ceramic (clear) bracket that is bonded to the outside of the teeth. The other is a small lingual bracket that attaches to the inside of the teeth and is invisible. This invisible bracket is capable of correcting minor crowding and rotation problems in a very short period of time (eight weeks to six months). As with any new product, a relatively large group of examples with this Roncone GPS Appliance is needed in order to train orthodontists around the world. Just as we have in past years, we are offering substantial discounts to those who participate in this educational process.
What Do You Need To Do?
Call our special “888” number listed below and mention 92009 Forestadent. Set up a consultation within 30 days of the date of this article (6/1/13) Begin treatment before July 15, 2013. If you are accepted for treatment, you must not miss any appointments. You must give us permission to take photographs during treatment. You must maintain superb oral hygiene (we will give you a Sonicare® electric toothbrush as an aid). Agreed upon financial arrangements must be adhered to perfectly. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to the above.

:::: HOME TIPS
P
eople are becoming energy-efficient. From solar panels to electric cars, to changing out light bulbs and windows – it’s all around us. There’s opportunities everywhere to be part of this change of lifestyle upgrade that is really quite essential in the world we live in today. When you replace a single pane window in your house with an energy-efficient one, the new window prevents heat from escaping in the winter, so you save energy by using your heater less while remaining comfortable. In the summer, efficient windows keep the heat out, so the air conditioner does not run as often and, thus, you save electricity. When you replace an appliance, such as a refrigerator or washing
machine with a more energy-efficient model, the new equipment provides the same service, but uses less energy. This saves you money on your energy bill, and reduces the amount of greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere. Being energy-efficient is simply an upgrade to your current lifestyle that reduces energy costs and results in a financial cost saving to consumers. Seems simple enough. Andy Bello, owner of Tankless Plumbing, is encouraging the community to “think outside the tank” and become more energyefficient. His question to consumers is simple. Why waste so much water when you turn on your shower, faucet, dishwasher or washing machine just to wait for heat to come,
when you can achieve and get to the same point using 2/3 less energy? The choice is simple – upgrade to a state-of-the-art NORTIZ tankless water heater. The heaters come with a 12-year warranty on the heat exchanger and five years on all other components. As a licensed plumbing contractor as well as a trained certified Platinum dealer and installer, Tankless Plumbing has a heater that will meet your needs as well as save you money on your hot water heating bills. Remember what you save will pay you back over time to pay down your investment. Visit www.tanklessplumber.com to learn how to make the change to a more energy-efficient lifestyle.
Benefits of Going Tankless • Most tankless units come with a federal tax rebate of $300. • They never run out of hot water. • They last five to 10 years longer than tank heaters. • You can shave as much as 20 percent from your water heating bill. • Electric models don't produce greenhouse gases. • They're more efficient with no standby heat loss. • They take up less space and can even be installed on walls or outdoors with an anti-freeze kit. • Smaller units can be installed under cabinets or in a closet, closer to the point of use. • They only need enough power to heat the amount of water necessary at any given moment. • Most units are operated by remote control and have up to four separate settings available. • There's no possibility of flooding due to a ruptured tank.

ean Witkin’s journey of embracing fitness, modifying his eating habits and losing eighty pounds inspired him to open Train4Anything Fitness as a way to help others achieve similar success. Wanting to change lives rather than make a buck, he decided to avoid a common pitfall of many fitness establishments: putting sales above clients’ needs. Sean explained, “I’ve always tried to listen to what the customers were looking for in an exercise program, and what I came up with was this: a program that is affordable, reinforces learning and can be done in an environment where clients feel comfortable on their own time.” Sean’s empathy, based on personal weight struggles, and his seven years working as a personal trainer in health clubs enabled him to create a unique business.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Making the Most While Selling Your Home by SCOTT VOAK
F
or homeowners, it’s about time we had a sellers’ market. Now, how do you take advantage of it? First, you need to understand why the market is in your favor and if it is likely to last. Right now, inventory is almost at historically low levels. This is due to a decreasing number of foreclosures and short sales as well as lack of builder inventory (builders won’t be able to bring on much new housing until late in 2014 and that will be in Eastlake). So, the supply of homes is limited, but demand is also building. For the last five years, there has been little motivation (outside of the first time homebuyer tax credit) for young buyers to enter the market. Now that the market is improving, we are seeing them compete with investors at the lower end of the market which is pushing prices up. This appreciation is allowing families who have been in smaller houses and have outgrown them to move up. As a result, the under $700k market is really moving. Additionally, a large amount of foreign money is coming in to the US looking for a safe place to invest, and real estate looks like a worthier investment than bonds or equities right now. The bottom line is, this market is here to stay for a while. We will not maintain the same rate of price increases, but I do not think the market is going to fall soon. So, what do you do if you are selling? You wait as long as you can. Then you use professionals to help get your home ready (staging, landscaping, photography and video). Once that is done, you need to manage the presentation of your home to the market for maximum exposure. In addition to the MLS with professional photos and video, we use social media, email marketing, radio exposure, multiple web site exposure, YouTube and so forth. With adequate preparation and a little luck you will end up with multiple offers. At that time you will be able to evaluate the quality of the buyers, the lenders and the other agent, all while finding a buyer willing to pay you above the appraised value for your home. ¢
