I
t has been eight years since we published our first magazine. We have grown from one local publication to a collection of 14 magazines that covers the majority of North San Diego County. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I get asked some repeat questions. So, I thought it would be fun to do an informal F.A.Q.
So, how does it work? Who pays for the magazines to be delivered? This is by far the most common question I get when talking to businesses, friends, readers, government representatives, etc. There is only one answer. Our incredible advertising partners – the businesses and organizations you find throughout these pages – are the exclusive sponsors that should be thanked. We are 100 percent supported by these revenues, and without the participation of these loyal businesses, there would be no magazine. So please take the time to let these businesses know you appreciate their participation and that you saw them in 92009 Magazine.

Are these magazines part of a franchise? No, 92009 Magazine has no affiliation with a national company or franchise. It is a home-grown publication that started with an idea, a lot of napkin scratching, and a desire to publish a local magazine our neighbors would want to read. Although we strive to make every magazine look bigger than life, we are a small, family-owned company that started out of our living room – and we are very proud of that history.
Derrick Breaux Publisher
Who writes the stories, and who designs the magazines?
This is my favorite question to answer, and I think this sets us apart from many other publishing companies. We have a team of about 20 incredibly talented people consisting of editorial, writers, photographers, graphic designers, account executives, and a production coordinator. All are local, and all work feverishly to produce the best magazines possible.
Why do you publish magazines? This answer is very personal. Although I don’t get asked this nearly as often, it is the most important question. We publish 92009 Magazine because we want to bring joy to our communities. I believe this magazine is larger than the paper it is printed on. It creates lasting memories, and memorializes community events and happenings. The pages of 92009 Magazine can be found framed on the walls of people’s homes. People are excited to mail them to grandparents and relatives that live outside of the area. Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, or even 40 years from now, perhaps someone will open up a loved one’s cherished box of memories. And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 92009 Magazine that their relative proudly tucked away. And this will once again put a smile on someone’s face. That’s why I print magazines. Thank you for reading 92009 Magazine and being a part of something that touches the hearts of our communities.

Project Walk
LOCAL FOUNDATION BRINGS HOPE TO PARALYSIS PATIENTS
F
ounded in Carlsbad in 2014, the Project Walk Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life of Project Walk clients who are affected by paralysis. This includes individuals with ALS, MS, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, victims of strokes, spinal cord injuries, and more. While many people with these conditions can be treated with traditional medicine, that is not always the case. Project Walk has been recognized as a pioneer in paralysis recovery, offering intense activity-based recovery programs, education, training, research, and development. “Unfortunately, these alternative treatments, though effective, are not covered by most insurance providers,” said Carleen Doan, Project Walk Director of Community Outreach. “As a result, we raise money for much needed scholarships to participate in these programs, which are offered at Project Walk Paralysis Recovery Centers across the nation.”
The foundation holds events throughout the year in Carlsbad and around North County. The next upcoming event is the Project Walk Block Party on July 8 from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Project Walk Headquarters. The event will feature live music, local vendors, local eateries, outdoor fitness classes from local gyms, a beer garden, family-friendly activities, and a celebration of client stories and milestones. “By supporting the Project Walk Foundation, people in our community can help give people back their livelihoods and provide them hope for a future they thought was lost forever,” Carleen said. To purchase tickets for the block party go to www.pwsummerfest.com. For more information about how to support the foundation visit www.projectwalkfoundation.org. ¢

PROUD OF HER
Heritage Jillian Della Penna Celebrates Her Italian Culture by MICHELLE TREMBLAY photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography
J
illian Della Penna caught the travel bug at a young age. “My parents find value in exposing us to a variety of places,” explained Jillian. “I traveled together with my family to Europe and ever since I have been excited to explore other places. I have met so many incredible people with inspiring stories throughout my travels, and although I am young and still have so much to learn, I am a firm believer in the best education is seeing the world and experiencing other cultures.” It’s no wonder then, that Jillian is equally as passionate about her Italian ancestry. “I am an Italian who, like so many, is proud of their heritage,” said Jillian, who is a member of The Order Sons of Italy in America, a national organization where Americans of Italian heritage join together to promote their culture, traditions, language, and legacy. “Generations of proud Italians can join together once a month to enjoy dinner together, plan activities, and raise funds for various charities,” explained Jillian.

Most recently, Jillian was named the first recipient of the organization’s Lou Petrella Memorial Scholarship. “The fact that I was reviewed and selected for the Lou Petrella Memorial Scholarship meant so much to me,” said Jillian. “I had the great fortune to have spent time with Mr. Petrella only once but I was touched by his character. I have heard many stories about his golden heart and large acts of kindness and humanity. To me, it truly is an honor to receive a scholarship in his name.” Jillian – a recent graduate from Carlsbad High School – worked as a journalist for the school newspaper, The Lancer Express, and was Editor-in-Chief during her senior year. “It has also been my honor to be given the opportunity to cross-train staff on Lancer Link (online newspaper) and Lancer Express, which allows efficient editorial and distribution of our online and print journalism programs,” added Jillian, who was also a participant on the school’s Speech and Debate team and has been assistant homecoming chair for the Associated Student Body. During her freshman and sophomore year, Jillian played for her school’s lacrosse team, but unfortunately had to stop after suffering multiple concussions. “As hard as it was to walk away from the sport and team I loved most, I am thankful for the time I shared with them,” said Jillian. “My junior year, I was able to fill the role of team manager which allowed me to still be on the field with my friends and be included as much with all the team bonding.” This fall, Jillian is excited to attend Pennsylvania State University as a new student. “I have been accepted into the nursing program to pursue my dream career!” Jillian exclaimed.

Dice four ounces of thick-cut bacon. Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat with a spoon of olive oil until it gets crispy. In a separate bowl, crack eggs and include four yolks and two egg whites. Add to the eggs ½ cup of grated Parmesan, one pinch of salt, and three pinches of black pepper (better if it is freshly ground). Whisk this mixture together so that the Parmesan is all combined with the eggs and pepper, and slowly add ¾ cup heavy cream. Cook the pasta “al dente,” following the directions on your pasta package. Drain the pasta, and in the same cooking pot, pour two ounces of olive oil. Put it on the stove with low heat, add the drained pasta, and start to stir it. Add the prepared bacon and the eggs compound. Keep stirring the pasta for 30 to 40 seconds until the eggs are cooked. Plate your dish and garnish with the rest of Parmesan, fresh parsley, and more black pepper, if you like. Bravo! Buon appetito!

FAMILY: Chilean wife – Daniela; My small family lives in Italy, her large family lives here in San Diego COMMUNITY: Lake St. Marcos HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Playing soccer, playing piano, reading everything as
soon as I have the chance to get a book in hand, running, hiking, investing FAVORITE LOCAL ACTIVITY: If we can put “making friends at my restaurant,” that would be my current favorite activity! I spend almost all my time at the restaurant and I love getting to know customers and talking to them... maybe sometime too much (as my employees say)! When I’m not at my restaurant, I like playing piano, walking or running next to the ocean or on the nearby hills, and I recently started to go to St. Mark Golf Course Driving Range. ABOUT THE RECIPE: I personally enjoy this dish for its unique taste, and
because there is a beautiful history behind its invention. The most trusted story about the origin of Fettuccini alla Carbonara dates back to 1944, and takes place in Rome during World War II. It is said that this dish was created for the first time in a little restaurant on Via della Scrofa, a street not far from Trevi Fountain. A group of American soldiers brought the ingredients that they had, only eggs and bacon, and the creative Italian chef created this dish by adding pasta and cheese. In a way, I think this dish represents the union between two friendly cultures during hard times. ABOUT THE CHEF: Ciao! I was born and raised in Bologna, Italy and, as almost every Italian, I have been eating pasta 10 to 12 times a week since I was six… and I am still skinny! I have always enjoyed going to the best Italian restaurants all over the country and tasting the differences between each regional dish. During my youth, I was lucky enough to travel everywhere: Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States, and I always wondered why Italian restaurants abroad are so different from the ones located in Italy. I decided to move to the United States in 2009 after falling in love with San Diego. I first opened a gelato shop in Pacific Beach named Gelato Bus Stop where I had the real gelato machines brought straight from Italy in order to serve the most authentic gelato possible. Recently I had the opportunity to open another Italian restaurant named Cucina Amore in San Marcos. Now I’m busy all the time and I don’t travel that much, but San Diego is so lovely that I can live with that. Ciao! ¢

Five Myths About Exercise and Aging Get Moving to Keep Your Brain and Body Healthy by MADALASA BISTA, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Oceanside Don’t let common myths about exercise and aging keep you on the couch.
living, such as getting out of a chair or carrying the groceries. If you have pain, stiffness, and fatigue, exercise can help you manage your pain and reduce it over time. The key is to start gently.
Maintaining or starting an active lifestyle becomes even more important as we get older. Physical activity increases mobility and balance, improves blood pressure and blood sugar, increases lean muscle mass, and helps you lose or maintain a healthy weight.
Myth Two: Exercise is only good for the body. In addition to physiological advantages, exercise also benefits your mind, mood, and memory. It may even slow shrinkage of the brain as we age. Exercise strengthens the connections, called synapses, in the brain that are essential for brain health and may even increase capillary development in the brain so that more blood supply, nutrients, and oxygen reach it.
Remember to always get the go-ahead from your primary care physician before starting an exercise program. Your doctor will have some suggestions on a routine that suits your needs and situation. Myth One: I’m too weak. We do lose muscle mass as we age, but exercise helps keep muscle tissue healthy. Basic strength training with weights is particularly important to halt the loss of muscle and keep you stable and strong enough to perform basic functions of
Myth Three: I’m too old to exercise. You’re never too old to be physically active. No matter what your health and physical abilities are, older adults gain significantly by being active. Exercise can help restore strength and flexibility, as well as help prevent falls. It can even improve your mental outlook. If you are just starting an exercise program, begin slowly and build up gradually. According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the goal is to do at least 150 minutes, or two-and-a-half hours, of moderate-intensity endurance activity
each week. This type of activity should get your heart rate up and make you break a sweat. Aim for at least three days a week and include the four types of exercise: aerobic (endurance), strength, flexibility, and balance. Myth Four: It’s too expensive. You don’t have to join a pricey health club or invest in equipment to exercise. You can avoid expensive options and focus on low-cost activities such as walking, hiking, or swimming. You may even find workout or dance videos on the internet which can guide you through simple exercises to do in the comfort of your own home. Myth Five: Exercise increases my risk of falling. The opposite is actually true – the more sedentary you are, the greater the likelihood that you will fall. Physical activity prevents bone loss and builds strength and balance, which helps to reduce your risk of falling. The National Council on Aging at www.ncoa.org partners with organizations throughout the United States to offer communitybased programs that help reduce fear of falling and increase activity and self-confidence among older adults. Your local community center or YMCA can also be a good resource. ¢

T
he Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) presented its Youth Leadership Showcase at the Carlsbad City Library.

New Program Supports Students in Need Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) recently announced a new program called Success 4 Students. Each month, SSE will collaborate with local high schools, community colleges, and universities to identify a student in need and provide them with items such as school supplies. The program recently helped a single mom in community college who was struggling to make ends meet and who didn’t have the supplies she needed to succeed in school. SSE provided her with a computer and a desk for her apartment. The program will accommodate up to four students per month to start. SSE is a Carlsbad-based nonprofit organization that works to engage the community in environmental and economic sustainability by preventing waste from entering landfills through repurposing items for reuse. SSE supports over 400 local educational, charitable, military, and start-up organizations with free office supplies and other materials.

Junior Lancer Dancer Camp
Carlsbad High School’s Varsity Dance Team, the Lancer Dancers, will hold a Junior Lancer Dancer summer camp from Aug. 15 through 18 at Carlsbad High School from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day. The camp is open to elementary and middle school students ages 5 to 14 who love to dance or aspire to try out for dance or cheer squads in the future. Camps are tailored for all skill levels – beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Junior Lancer Dancers will gain self-confidence, improve dance technique, make new friends, and learn how to develop a winning attitude. The team will also be offering scholarships to qualified families. “We believe all children should be able to take dance classes, no matter what their income level is,” said the team’s Scholarship Coordinator Rachel Whitehead. “We want to share our passion for dance with community youth that may not have the same opportunities that we have.” For more information go to www.lancerdancers.com or email jrlancerdancers@gmail.com.

NCL San Dieguito’s Philanthropy Fair National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter (NCL, Inc. San Dieguito) recently held its first meeting of the new NCL year and annual Philanthropy Fair.

Members were then able to take part in the Philanthropy Fair, where they learned about ongoing and new opportunities for service, and had the option to complete an off-site service project. “It gives our chapter members an opportunity to come together and not only celebrate the successes of our mother-daughter community outreach in the current year, but to assist our members in making their plans for service in the coming year,” said Pam Regnery, Vice President of Philanthropy. NCL, Inc. San Dieguito currently has 268 members and provides hands-on volunteer service for 28 philanthropic organizations in the community. The chapter as a whole participated in over 10,000 hours of volunteer service in 2016 through 2017. Learn more at sandieguito.nationalcharityleague.org.

When summer hits, the beach is definitely on everyone’s mind. The best part of living in 92009 is the ease of packing the car with beach gear and heading up or down the coast to your favorite “edge of the continent” bliss. From Santa Barbara to San Diego, each beach area along our coast has its very own charm. These beaches and their communities are varied enough to have appeal for just about everyone. We offer a unique perspective of what you, your family, or your friends have in store if you decide that the beach is the perfect destination or pit stop for your summer road trip.
CATALINA ISLAND
LA JOLLA
SAN CLEMENTE
Just 22 miles off the Southern California coast is Catalina Island, a little haven for getting away from the masses. Shop for trinkets, snorkel, take a glass-bottom boat ride, camp, or just enjoy a good book on the beach.
North of downtown San Diego is this jewel of the coast, La Jolla. There are gorgeous views everywhere you look and the weather is sublime. La Jolla Cove has boundless opportunities for sensational snorkeling while the Shores allow for surfing lessons and fun for all ages.
San Clemente has a wonderful State campground and a small town atmosphere near the beach. Trestles Trail is a must for the hiking enthusiast.
CARPINTERIA Carpinteria is a small beach town between Santa Barbara and Ventura. The Carpinteria Beach, known as the “World’s Safest Beach,” has been rated the #1 swimming beach in California, due mostly to its southern exposure and its protection by the Channel Islands.
ENCINITAS The beach communities of Leucadia and Cardiff-by-the-Sea are included in the San Diego North County town of Encinitas, which boasts the beloved Moonlight Beach.
LAGUNA BEACH Laguna Beach is known for having the most beautiful beach coves on the Southern California coast. Laguna is also full of excellent and varied restaurants and art galleries. The annual art festivals draw art lovers from all over every summer. Check out the Sawdust Art Festival’s Annual Summer Show through Sept. 3.
LONG BEACH Long Beach has the aquarium, the Queen Mary, Little Naples with its gondolas, ferries to Catalina, an art museum, and Rainbow Harbor with its waterfront restaurants.
MALIBU Much of Malibu’s coastline is covered with the famed beach bungalows along with the Zuma, Paradise Cove, and Malibu Beach – just to name a few of the renowned public beaches.
MANHATTAN BEACH Manhattan Beach is in Los Angeles County near the LAX airport. The beach is wide and sandy and the boardwalk is full of joggers, bikers, and other beach-goers.
OCEANSIDE Oceanside has lots of beach, more reasonably priced hotels, and a harbor for boating or waterfront dining.
SANTA BARBARA A cozy beach town beautifully nestled between the coast and the mountains. Visit the famed restaurants and take in the Spanish-Mediterranean architecture. As you wander down the streets of Santa Barbara you might bump into well known filmmaker Bruce Brown – whose cult classic, The Endless Summer, put surfing on the map – or 10-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater.
SANTA MONICA Santa Monica has beaches, an amusement pier, great shopping, world class hotels and restaurants, and close proximity to UCLA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and LAX. Visit the Museum of Flying at the Santa Monica Airport.
VENTURA Ventura is a laid-back little beach town with a nice boating harbor and wide sandy beaches. Channel Island boat tours take off from Ventura. Marine Park is also a great place to bring kids and kites. The Ventura Beach pirate ship is a must!

HOTEL TONIGHT
With a postcard setting at the base of three mountains – the Thumb (13,356 feet), Middle Palisade (14,012 feet), and Norman Clyde Peak (13,855 feet) – this camp is an ideal hub for hikers and climbers. Experts head for the Palisade Glacier – the southernmost in the U.S. – while the less ambitious bask around the waterfalls and wildflowers close to camp and the series of glacial-blue lakes beyond.
Hotels give last-minute deals on their unsold rooms with discounts up to 70%. Book the deals easily and securely on your smartphone.
In summer, kids spend whole days ankle deep in the Navarro River, which flows calmly over fist-sized stones through a redwood grove. Gardens and picnic areas at the Anderson Valley wineries are a short drive away. Stop by the Philo Apple Farm for a wander in the orchard and some fresh juice from the honor stand.
Near Santa Barbara, CA Carpinteria State Beach Kids can’t object to a lack of TV if they’re plopped onto a mile-long beach. Reserve early (up to seven months ahead) for the popular Santa Rosa beach row sites, then spend the weekend swimming, surf fishing, and exploring tidepools.
Camp out under the oaks and sycamores in the Santa Ana Mountains without relinquishing life’s little necessities – like flush toilets. Get oriented to the great outdoors on the Sunday morning ranger walk. The 2.5-mile East Ridge Trail makes a great beginner’s hike.
Near Santa Cruz, CA New Brighton State Beach Set on a pine-shaded bluff above an endless white beach, New Brighton’s 100-plus sites get snapped up by those itching for a beach weekend without the expensive nightly tab. The beach is the real draw and the hot showers are inviting, but another bonus is that if you forget your matches or just don’t feel like cooking, you can easily grab takeout in town, a five-minute drive away.
Near Lake Tahoe, CA Island Lake, Desolation Wilderness A great choice for the first-time backpacker, with moderate effort required for spectacular views in the end. Pack your stuff in after three miles to overnight at Island Lake beneath soaring Mt. Price. The dramatically stark granite terrain dotted with shock-blue lakes is the definition of high country. Next morning, you’re set to explore the lakes and passes higher up the slope – and out of day-hiker range.

If you’re like most American families, summer vacation usually means you’re heading to the beach, amusement park, or maybe even a big-city adventure. But don’t overlook the fun waiting to be had at our local mountain and lakes. These family-friendly summer playground destinations are just an easy drive up north.
BIG BEAR
LAKE TAHOE
MAMMOTH
YOSEMITE
Summertime in Big Bear often comes early and stays late – at 7,000 feet and bursting with sunshine, the warm and welcome mid-season rain showers, and extraordinary nighttime skies are just some of the natural amenities of a road trip to Big Bear. The sunshine rays are more intense than at sea level, shining through the mountain’s clean, light air, and low humidity in probable 80- to 90-degree daytime highs. Whether you’re looking for an adventure on a jet ski, family fun on the alpine slides, or just want to chill on a pontoon, Big Bear has it all. Visit www.bigbear.com for information on upcoming events.
Lake Tahoe is a popular summer refuge from summer heat and an enormous draw to boaters, fishermen, water skiers, and adventurers. The pleasant daytime temperatures and very relaxing and casual environment draws the summer crowd. With the infinite things to do during the summer, from basking on the beautiful beaches to hiking or camping within the Tahoe Basin, there is certainly something for everyone. Be sure to ride to the top of the mountain on the Heavenly Mountain Gondola, go rafting on the Truckee, take in a boat cruise, and check out the Lake Tahoe Summer Music or Shakespeare Festivals. Visit www.tahoesbest.com for a local connection with deals and packages.
In the winter, Mammoth Lakes is the hot spot for the Southern California ski crowd. Skiers stake out a condo or hotel during the season to reap the rewards of abundant snowfall on the majestic mountain. But ask these same people if they’ve visited Mammoth during the summer and the answer will likely be “no.” And that is what makes Mammoth the perfect summer getaway, free from tourists and full of hiking, fishing, biking, and outdoor fun. Mammoth is a warm weather playground, with its nine profoundly blue lakes, plus another 100 lakes covering the surrounding countryside. The Mammoth Mountain Ski Area becomes Mammoth Mountain Bike Park in the summer and boasts over 70 miles of trails with access to chairlifts and shuttles. The Panoramoic Gondola tops at 11,053 feet for those who want to watch the ambitious bikers zoom down the slopes. Visit www.mammothmountain.com for summertime adventure guides.
One of America’s favorites, Yosemite Park, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, one can find grand meadows, deep valleys, gigantic ancient sequoias, a plethora of wilderness areas, and much more. The eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park at Tioga Pass (Hwy 120) is a quick 30-minute drive north of Mammoth on Highway 395. Visiting Yosemite National Park during the summer will guarantee access to the entire park via car, as the weather has warmed and snow has completely melted. Summer is the most popular time to visit the park, so be sure to scope out your park reservations well in advance of your trip. Plan your Yosemite road trip by visiting www.yosemitepark.com. ¢

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
Who Saved Who? Carlsbad Volunteer Joe Gieda Is a Voice for Children by KELLEY GUSICH photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography
A
fter 35 years at a Fortune 50 company, Carlsbad resident Joe Gieda wanted to volunteer, not only to keep himself active, but also to begin a second career which would give him a greater sense of community and accomplishment. An intriguing radio ad for Voices for Children seemed to fit the bill, so he attended a Real Word speaker’s panel, where current and former foster children spoke of their experiences. The panel confirmed his instinct, and he’s now a Voices for Children volunteer, serving as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA). A CASA volunteer wears many hats: advocate, mentor, role model, working from multiple standpoints to ensure the foster children in their care have their needs met.

Joe Gieda Carlsbad Retired Wife, three grown children, and three grandchildren Volunteering, golf On a good golf day… The Crossings! “I’ve recently taken up golf, but based on the number of lost balls, I’m not sure it’s working!”
“I am there for the good times and help them through the bad times,” Joe explained. He has certain responsibilities and privileges in the lives of the children he serves, such as holding education rights or having access to talk to doctors, therapists, teachers, social workers, and lawyers regarding each child’s well-being. He works with the court as a neutral partner to ensure the child is taken care of by the ‘system,' and works with the caregiver to ensure the child’s needs are met. Joe shared, “I am a consistent adult that they can talk to, feel safe with, confide in, and lean on.” He has two cases right now, one of whom is doing well with some special help and Joe believes on a positive path. One is more of a challenge, but has elected to stay in the foster
care system even though he’s turning 18, to get the help he needs. Joe and his wife have three grown children and three grandchildren, and he also volunteers at Carlsbad Kiwanis and as a Key Club advisor. Voices for Children is always looking for volunteers, especially males (currently only 5% of CASAs are males). When asked about his biggest accomplishment as a CASA volunteer, Joe can relate to a popular bumper sticker which asks ‘Who saved who?’ “I know I am making a positive impact for my case children,” he said. “I am always there for them, and they know they can count on me when many of the other adults in their life may have let them down. But they have also helped me be a better person, to not take life for granted.”
Voices for Children We believe that every child deserves a safe and permanent home, and to that end, will review and monitor every court file in the system, provide a CASA to every child in the foster care system who needs one, and advocate to improve the lives of San Diego County’s foster children. www.speakupnow.org info@speakupnow.org volunteer@speakupnow.org

Improving the Community TROOP 777 BOY SCOUTS ACHIEVE EAGLE SCOUT RANK
F
our members of Boy Scout Troop 777 were recently recognized for completing their Eagle Scout Projects and earning the Eagle Scout Rank, the highest achievement in Boy Scouts. The boys each completed projects in areas all over North County San Diego that allowed them to demonstrate leadership skills and benefit the community. They first contacted nonprofit organizations in the area to find out if a project was needed, then worked with their Scoutmaster and an Eagle Scout mentor to select their project. Parker Harelson, who attends Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) in Carmel Valley, built six eight-foot benches for his former middle school, Digueno Middle School in Encinitas. Caleb Leasure attends Maranatha Christian Schools in 4S Ranch and built a trail kiosk at the Paseo Encino Trailhead in Carlsbad. Walker Matthews, who also goes to CCA, constructed gates, fences, and shelving for Rancho Coastal
Humane Society in Encinitas. Ben Tecotzky attends San Dieguito Academy and built a split rail fence around the garden at his former elementary school, El Camino Creek Elementary School in Carlsbad. Parker, Caleb, Walker, and Ben were honored in a special ceremony at the Encinitas Community Library, which included an award pinning, reflections on their individual projects, presentation of mentor pins, a presentation by Encinitas Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, and a reception. Troop 777 prides itself on being a high adventure troop focused on leadership, self-reliance, self-esteem, and recognition, which are accomplished though high adventure outings, community involvement, and rank advancement. Troop 777 members live in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Cardiff, and Rancho Santa Fe. ¢

Is 2017 the Best Year for Housing in Over a Decade? F
reddie Mac feels this way… but why? According to their May 24 outlook article, they speak about the economic growth, unemployment rate, mortgage rates, and home sales being a few of the factors behind their opinion. GDP growth was only 0.7% for the first quarter which is very low but it looks as though the growth should pick back up averaging around 2.3% for the remainder of this year. In April the unemployment rate was the lowest it has been since 2001 at 4.4%. Mortgage rates reached 4.3% for a 30-year fixed mortgage in March. This is the highest it has been in a while. The rates have declined since then but are still hovering at 4%. The interest rates are likely to increase back up to the 4.3% by the fourth quarter. Finally, it was predicted that home sales would suffer a small setback in 2017. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Existing home sales in March were the
highest since 2007. New home sales also outperformed expectations. Data from recent sales has now been revised to forecast a slight increase in home sales in 2017. We feel that with the research and data collected by Freddie Mac this could very well

SURFIN’ SAN DIEGO Catch a Wave at One of the Top Surf Spots This Summer by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
S
and, sunshine, and salty ocean water. There are few things more quintessentially San Diego than hitting the surf at the beach. In fact, San Diego is known for having some world-class surfing spots, and plenty of options for all skill levels. Since beaches can get crowded, especially during the warmer summer months, be sure to get there early enough to stake out your spot and make parking a bit easier too. So grab your board and some sunscreen and check out some of these top local spots to catch the perfect wave!
LA JOLLA SHORES, LA JOLLA BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE La Jolla Shores is one of San Diego’s best and most popular beaches. It’s a safe spot for beginners to learn or practice surfing on gentle waves. And it’s great for the whole family – the beach has year-round lifeguard services, good facilities, a parking lot, fire pits, and a children’s playground just across the sidewalk. Several surf schools operate from here as well.
TOURMALINE SURFING PARK, PACIFIC BEACH BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE Tourmaline has a history of being a true surf hangout for San Diego locals. The waves are soft and gentle and the beach comes equipped with showers and restrooms. Hop on over to Garnet Ave. after your surf session for a bite to eat while you watch the sun set.
SWAMI’S BEACH, ENCINITAS
BLACK’S BEACH, LA JOLLA
INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED
INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED
Swami’s is an internationally known spot for good surf. A variety of breaks make for high-performance waves for longboard and shortboard surfers. It can be difficult to paddle out here, though, so strong swimming skills are a must.
Black’s is arguably home to San Diego’s best surf. An offshore underwater trench funnels powerful swells into this area, which can be dangerous for inexperienced surfers. Getting to the beach requires a bit of trekking and since Black’s is infamous for its “clothing optional” rule, it might be best to leave the kids home for this one.
LOWER TRESTLES, SAN ONOFRE INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED Lowers, as it’s called, is part of a collection of surfing spots at San Onofre State Beach that sits at the top of San Diego County. It is one of the world’s most high-profile and high-performance spots, often hosting expert and even professional-level surfers. For this reason, Lowers can get crowded and claiming waves can get competitive.
