The Big 4-0

Derrick Breaux Publisher

or as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be older. When I was a child, I wanted to be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be an adult. In college, I couldn’t wait to start my career. At nineteen, like most people, I just wanted to reach the legal drinking age. As each year passed, I felt like I was inching closer and closer to something – perhaps some type of goal or milestone? After all, these markers tend to be big deals in all of our lives. We often see them as the ‘end’ of distinct categories. The end of our teenage years... The end of high school... The end of college... The end of our twenties... I’ll take it even further. Have I simply been on course to reach middle age? Goodness, did I really just say that? After spending a few minutes on Google, I’ve concluded that most people classify middle age as 45 to 65 years of age. Apparently this is a relatively new frame of mind because until recently, it was generally thought that 40 to 60 years made up the bracket’s classification. I assume that it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out what age group initiated the sudden five year shift. Turning the big 4-0 was actually a pretty cool experience. My adorable wife worked hard to put together an incredible 40th birthday party. I was humbled by the whole experience – surrounded by dear friends, family members, acquaintances and colleagues spanning multiple decades of memories. The most common question that people have been asking me is how it felt turning 40. The honest truth is that it’s great. For the first time that I can remember, I feel like I am actually at the beginning of something. I’m motivated and inspired. I’m right where I want to be – at the exact age that I want to be at. Truth be told, throughout my thirties I often thought of reaching forty. I’m there and it’s going to be a fantastic decade! I’m no longer looking too far into the future. In fact, I’m doing just the opposite. Spending time with my family and enjoying watching my kids grow into their pre-teen years and young adulthood is an amazing thing. If only there was a way that I could convince them that there is no rush to get older and move into the next category of their lives – but that’s a topic for a different publisher’s note. Oh, and by the way, I subscribe to the new way of thinking – the one that says middle age is classified as 45 to 65 years old. A special thank you to Google for clarifying that and giving me a five year cushion. Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Please Call Our Office For A Complimentary Consultation

Why Would a 7 Year Old Need Orthodontics? Typically, Early Treatment involves obtaining necessary diagnostic records such as models of teeth, photographs and growth analysis. Predictions can be made regarding nose, upper and lower jaws and chin. The analysis tells us what will happen to the face - both with and without treatment. I am very interested in smile analysis. We study: • The shape and color of the teeth • How much gum tissue is shown • The smile line (it is possible to have straight • The width of the jaws • The length of the upper lip teeth without having a good smile)

Also, great emphasis is placed on the airway. The way a child breathes can definitely affect the development of the jaws. Normal breathing occurs with the lips together and inhaling through the nose. Narrow nasal openings are a sign that breathing is occurring mainly through the mouth. Another sign of mouth breathing is red, swollen gums. There are several causes of mouth breathing: • Enlarged adenoids • Allergies which can cause nasal blockages • Underdeveloped nasal passages

• Malocclusions (bad bites) which are characterized by the upper teeth and jaws being so far forward that the lips cannot easily close • Deviated nasal septums • Enlarged nasal turbinates

These conditions cause the lower jaw to grow downward which then causes an "open bite." This condition is exhibited when the front teeth do not meet. How can you tell when there is an airway problem? Below is a list of symptoms and signs: 1. Chronic open mouth position 2. Gummy smile 3. Swollen gums 4. Chronic dark circles under the eyes 5. A crease on the nose (about 1/3 of the way up from the tip) 6. Pouting" lower lip 7. Short upper lip 8. Narrow "V" shaped under jaw 9. Upper teeth in "bucked" position 10. Chronic chapped or cracked lips 11. Excessive snoring

Since the Vast Majority of Growth (90%) is Accomplished by Age 12, It is Important to Begin Treatment Very Early.

Typical treatment in our office includes a combination of expanders and braces. Phase I usually lasts for 12 months. There is then a resting phase (6 months to 2 years) followed by Phase II which may last from 10 to 13 months. Each of my staff members and I want to provide the same exquisite results for your child. We hope you feel the same.

Before Treatment: Irregular teeth, lack of space

Final Result: Exquisite, wide, and natural smile with perfect occlusion (bite)

Preserving Our Trails

THE LAKE CALAVERA BOARDWALK TRAILS AND WETLAND RESORATION PROJECT photos provided by Steve Jantz

here’s exciting news for the hikers, cyclists, trail enthusiasts and naturalists in Carlsbad as the Lake Calavera Boardwalk Trails and Wetland

Restoration Project constructions are finished. Construction to the boardwalk trails began in December 2013 and was completed this spring. The Project’s goal was to create new boardwalks to improve access to and from the existing trail system in the Lake Calavera Preserve. It is part of a trail improvement plan to improve the quality of the trails, the environmental impact people have on the preserve, and the safety of the boardwalks. Before the project began pedestrians relied on makeshift, constructed crossings made out of debris and salvaged construction materials. The new boardwalks are constructed from solid wood and pose less of a risk with elevated edgings for additional safety. Both pedestrians and cyclists are able to access and use the new paths. The construction was made to two areas of the preserve. One boardwalk crosses the Calaveras Creek in the middle of the preserve and is approximately 150 feet long, and the other is located on the east side adjacent to the creek and is approximately 760 feet long. “The new boardwalk trail is a great enhancement for Lake Calavera, because it both improves the preserve’s aesthetics and protects the habitat with a single project,” said Steve Jantz, an associate engineer with the City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Department. “This is a win for the preserve’s users, and a win for the environment,” he noted. 

Student Star Justin Oetting Has Many and Varied Interests and Accomplishments

Kumon Math & Reading Centers

Carlsbad-South (760) 431-1497

ustin Oetting likes his math classes the best at Carlsbad High School (CHS). “I like how math problems are very logical and have a final, definitive answer,” he explained. This in the same breath where Justin listed his favorite hobbies as jumping hurdles, playing the bagpipes, and juggling fire torches. Not to mention he is still looking for a way to do all three of these activities at the same time. Is this logical and definitive? Maybe not, but it is definitively, logically interesting, and is only one of many reasons Justin Oetting is our 92011 Student Star. A sophomore at CHS (who has lived in Carlsbad since the age of two), Justin likes the wide variety of classes offered by the school, and he especially enjoys being a part of the cross country and track teams. “I really appreciate how fortunate I am to live here,” he affirmed, where he often walks to Ponto Beach and walks his dog in his South Carlsbad neighborhood.

FAMILY COMMITMENTS ARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO JUSTIN. “MY FAMILY IS MY BIGGEST SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT. THEY INSPIRE ME TO DO MY BEST AND TO LAUGH.” In addition to his CHS commitments, he has raised orphan ducks and has a bagpiping business, which involves people hiring him to play at events. Family commitments are of the utmost importance to Justin. “My family is my biggest source of encouragement. They inspire me to do my best and to laugh.” After college, he wants to someday live on a vineyard that’s set up like a family compound – where his whole extended cadre of relatives can live together – grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maybe an orphan duck or two. Speaking of family ties, perhaps the biggest (and most unusual) father-son bond happened for the Oetting family when Justin and his father spent close to two years writing and now publishing a novel! Called Pascal’s Last Gamble, the book first appears to be about a prosecutor trying to convict a killer. “But on a deeper metaphorical level,” Justin informed us, “the book is about the search for faith and redemption, with some interesting twists and turns along the way. I hope people have as much fun reading it as we had writing it!” Whether playing the bagpipes, writing a thriller, jumping hurdles, bringing his whole family together, juggling fire torches, or trying to do all of these things at once, it’s a pretty good gamble that Justin Oetting has earned the title of Student Star. 

About the Chef

Chef’s Name: Cortney Staruch, RD Family Members: My family currently resides in Cleveland, OH Community of Residence: Carlsbad Hobbies/ Interests: Running, hiking, camping, and cooking Favorite Local Activity: Running along the coast and playing beach volleyball About the Recipe: Making a lasagna often seems overwhelming, but this recipe is very easy to make and tastes just as good as a left over! Lasagna is so versatile because you can keep the basic structure while changing the protein source and varying the vegetables to suit the preferences of the whole family. Plus, using cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese cuts the fat in half! About the Chef: I am a registered dietitian and performance coach at Activ8 Athleticism. I received my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics at The University of Cincinnati, and was a proud member of the track and cross country team. Since moving to Carlsbad just six months ago, I have been able to share my passion for nutrition by counseling clients for weight loss, athletic performance, teaching nutrition lessons in the local schools, and leading the Nutritious & Delicious cooking class at the Boys & Girls Club. I love to share my passion of nutrition and fitness with people of all ages – it is never too late or too early to learn good nutrition and exercise habits to last a lifetime! 

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD

SWIMMING SUCCESS by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Soul of Photography

or the last thirty-five years, Jeff Pease has been in the business of creating competitive swimmers. Although professional coaching was not in his original plans, it grew into Jeff’s passion and career path. Jeff started swim coaching to fill a few years between a psychology degree from Stanford and graduate school. Instead of returning to school himself, Jeff began sending his swimmers off to some of the best colleges in the country. The numbers tell Jeff’s story of success; he has coached over 250 student athletes since 1979. After a few years with a parent run swim team in the mid ‘70s, Jeff realized the interim job had the potential to be a career choice. North Coast Aquatics was born. “I determined that if I was to have a long term future in coaching, I needed to start my own swim team and be in control of all the decision making,” Jeff explained. That decision making includes focusing on swimmers’ technique and training at the appropriate developmental stages. “Our formula does not create the fastest 10 year olds who never become successful high school and college swimmers. Rather, we believe “I determined that if I was in a long term development for our kids,” Jeff stated. And he knows the to have a long term future number of laps it takes to create longin coaching, I needed to term success. Not only has he ran a start my own swim team successful business since the ‘70s, Jeff has coached top ranked athletes, and be in control of all including Kurt Grote, the 1996 Olympic the decision making.” gold medalist in breaststroke. Jeff’s own success as a swimmer stretches back to his childhood in Toledo, OH. With two All-American honors, he went on to compete at Stanford with a swimming scholarship. Out of the water, Jeff enjoys spin class and the beach. Although, he acknowledges his free time is fairly limited. With the opening of Alga Norte Aquatics Center, Jeff may be seeing even less of that free time. “My goal is to build NCA to over 500 swimmers at the Alga Norte Aquatics Center,” Jeff said. But it’s not all about the numbers. Jeff understands the importance of fostering the student in his student athletes, bridging time in the pool to time in the classroom. “The primary mission of NCA is to provide a program for each young person to become the best student athlete they can become and ultimately use their swimming and academics as the vehicle to create the best college opportunity for themselves,” Jeff acknowledged. And with coaches playing more of a vital role in athletes’ development, its good to know Jeff is doing everything he can to prepare his swimmers for any leg of life’s journey. ¢

aplastic anemia, a rare disease in which bone marrow, and the blood stem cells that reside there, are damaged. As a result, Mason does not have an immune system and is not able to go out in public in order to protect him from disease. Mason’s best bet for treatment is a bone marrow transplant.

The Porter Family’s Contributions to Carlsbad by AMY LEHRER | photos by Soul of Photography

friend of Valencia and Greg became their cupid when they met at his Valentine’s Day birthday party. Coincidentally, Valencia and Greg also discovered that they had Puritan ancestors who lived across the street from each other in Connecticut. They share no blood connection, but thirteen generations back they are related by marriage. During Valencia’s medical residency in Los Angeles, they too became married. “We found Carlsbad to be the ‘sweet spot’ between our job sites,” explained Valencia and Greg Porter. Valencia completed her medical fellowship at UCSD, and Greg took a job with an investment bank in Orange County. They lived in Carlsbad for twelve years before moving to Bay Collection in 2005. They raved, “We love the beach, the lagoons and the laid back atmosphere.” Currently, Valencia is the director of integrative medicine at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad. Her training at the USC School of Medicine, her board certification in General Preventive Medicine and her fellowship in Integrative Medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil allow to combine Western medical training with meditation, acupuncture, Ayurveda, yoga, nutrition, and Healing Touch to help her patients achieve optimal health and wellbeing. Last summer she received a top doctor award for helping 216,668 people online via Healthtap, an interactive health network. Greg is the owner and president of First Carlsbad Mortgage. Greg explained, “My focus [is] helping those in my community improve their financial standing by refinancing or getting the best possible purchase loan for their home.” Daughter Grace sings, plays the guitar, and studies karate. She recently won two silver karate medals, became the Student of the Month, and sold the most poinsettias for her Adventure Princess tribe. Meanwhile, preschooler Annika participates in karate and gymnastics, sings and pretends to play the guitar. To support their community, the Porters participate in beach cleanups and help feed the homeless. Additionally, Greg is replacing the climbing holds for the YMCA Camp Marston Rock Tower and fundraises to allow more participants into the Adventure Princess program that facilitates nature bonding and father/daughter relationships. To stay grounded as a family, the Porters camp once a year at Carlsbad State beach, routinely hold family meetings to share feelings and discuss how to work as a team, and use their living room either as a “peace room” to calm themselves or as a jam session room to sing and play music together. 

The Carlsbad Village Faire is Bigger and Better than Ever photos by Soul of Photography

Drawing as many

as 100,000 attendees to over 900 booths, the faire is an event that lives up to its title. Whether you attend every single year, or haven’t been recently, one thing is certain: Sunday, May 4 will be a day that all Carlsbad residents will be proud of. Ted Owen, President and CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, shares some of the history of the event and what attendees can expect this year.

with Ted

Owen

President & CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce For the beneﬁt of those who may have never attended, can you describe the bi-annual Carlsbad Village Faire? With more than 900 vendors, the Carlsbad Vilage Faire is the largest one-day street fair of its kind in the United States. Held the first Sundays of May and November each year, this is the forty-first year of the tradition that draws more than 100,000 people. The fair has grown to be so popular, that it not only continually attracts people from all over Southern California, but also from other states. Some visitors even plan their vacations around the bi-annual event. The reason so many people return to the fair every year is that they can count on finding quality items to purchase because of the wide variety of vendors. You name it and it’s for sale at the fair.

When and how did the bi-annual event begin? The reason that the Carlsbad Village Faire was created was to bring attention to downtown Carlsbad. Back in 1984, the Chamber organized the Carlsbad Village Faire to showcase the Village of Carlsbad and all of the businesses that call it home. The plan worked beyond the Chamber’s expectations, and it has grown into

Hobbies and Interests: Owen, a twenty-two-year combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, joined the Chamber as president and CEO in 2004. Before taking the helm of the chamber, Owen twice served as the president and publisher of the San Diego Business Journal. Favorite Activity at the Carlsbad Village Faire: I like to walk the aisles and see what all the vendors are offering. I’m always amazed by what I find.

How is the faire planned and managed each year? Kennedy & Associates operates the Carlsbad Village Faire for the Chamber. The effort is headed by Brian Roth, who is continuing a tradition that started with his father-in-law, Keith Kennedy, who, along with the late Buddy Storm, promoted the fair and grew it into the best street fair in the country.

How large is the event in terms of attendance, activities, booths, and revenue? We have more than 900 vendor booths at the event, which makes it the largest one-day street fair in the country. Our figures suggest that in good years, more than 100,000 people visit the fair during the day.

What are some of the most popular activities/vendors each year? It all depends on what people are looking for. That’s the beauty of the Carlsbad Village Faire. If it’s legal and if it’s made, you can almost always find what you’re looking for.

What is new this year at the faire? Some of the new products that vendors are offering at the Carlsbad Village Faire this year include wagons for children with custom suspensions and accessories, carved soap flowers, patio swings, personalized stainless steel rings and wooden neck ties, bowties and bolo ties.

Where and when is this event held? The Carlsbad Village Faire is held the first Sundays of May and November every year. The next event takes place in the Village of Carlsbad on Grand Ave. from Carlsbad Blvd. to Jefferson St. on May 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What can attendees expect in terms of entertainment at this year’s event? The Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s beer and wine garden will entertain fairgoers with a large screen TV and live bands. The Kiwanis Club of Carlsbad will continue its more than twenty-five-year tradition of hosting a pancake breakfast at the Carlsbad railroad depot. The meal, which includes pancakes, sausage, coffee and juice, will be served between 7 a.m. and noon.

What can attendees expect in terms of food and refreshments at this year’s event? The international food court will once again feature more than fifty booths serving everything from Thai to Hawaiian cuisine. There is also a beer garden and many booths with delicious snacks scattered throughout the fair, so bring your appetite.

What types of activities are planned for children this year? The children’s area will entertain youngsters with games, a super slide, a bounce house, a rock climbing wall, face painting, and arts and crafts.

Where should attendees plan to park for the faire? Due to limited parking and street closures (Grand Ave. from Carlsbad Blvd. to Jefferson St. and all of the cross streets in between will be closed for the event) we recommend that people use public transportation. The Sprinter can drop you off right at the heart of the fair. We also have complimentary shuttles that will run to and from the fair. Shuttles will pick up and drop off passengers at the Poinsettia Coaster Station and the northwest corner of Sears at Westfield Plaza Camino Real.

Why should local residents attend and support the event this year? Despite its size, the Carlsbad Village Faire is still a local event. Many local businesses take part in it, so you can shop and feel rest assured that your dollars stay and are invested locally. In addition, the Carlsbad Village Faire is a great way to get to know the businesses that are located in Carlsbad Village. Many have booths in front of their stores. The great thing about them is that they’ll always be there after the fair is over. ¢

Tips: Everyday Ways

to Protect Wildlife

by TORI MORRISON | Photos by Spark Photography and Project Wildlife Care Center Staff

roject Wildlife, a nonprofit organization, serves as the primary resource for animal rehabilitation and conservation education in San Diego County. The organization cares for sick, injured, and abandoned wildlife throughout the County and then ensures that healthy animals are released back to the wild. Educating the public about wildlife interactions is another part of their mission, as they can have a major positive impact on the lives of wild animals.

Sick, Injured or Orphaned The first thing to remember is that wildlife generally view humans as a threat. So even if you are trying to help, too much handling or commotion can lead to undue stress on an animal. Watch to be sure the animal really is sick, injured, or orphaned and then act. When assisting the animal, stay calm. Bring the animal to a licensed rehabilitation center. If you are handling the animal yourself, wear gloves or use a towel and place the animal in a container with air holes.

frequented by coyotes. Also, ensuring trash can lids are tight, not leaving pet food outside and sealing access to garages or crawl spaces will help avoid unwanted wild animal visitors. If these efforts fail to keep wildlife out of your home or backyard, there are also some simple and safe deterrents you can try. These include using chili powder on plants, and installing motion-sensitive lights. Humane wildlife extraction is also an option. Humane exclusion encourages wild animals to leave and not to return without the use of pesticides.

Feeding Animals Avoid feeding wild animals as that teaches them to associate humans with a food source. This act causes wildlife to become too tame and lose their self-protecting fear of people.

Resident Wildlife

If you find an injured or abandoned animal, do not attempt to keep the animal yourself. Its best chance for survival is to get it to a licensed rehab facility like Project Wildlife as soon as possible.

Some wild animals live close to residential areas and may enter yards in search of food or water. Pets should never be left in unattended areas

DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS Former Fire Chief Crawford Serves His Community from Various Leadership Positions by AMY LEHRER | photos by Soul of Photography

ormer fire chief for the Carlsbad Fire Department and philanthropist, Kevin Crawford recently became the president and CEO of the United Way of San Diego (UWSD). He looks forward to expanding UWSD’s new business model and plans to focus on early grade education, financial stability, community health and homelessness. Via a unanimous vote, Crawford briefly served as the interim city manager. As Carlsbad’s chief executive officer, he managed a workforce committed to serving its community. Two of his projects included creating a childhood literacy initiative and expanding the Scripps Encinitas Hospital. While serving as fire chief, Crawford ensured the Carlsbad Fire Department safeguarded lives, property and the environment. This all-risk fire department prevents, prepares for, responds to and helps Carlsbad citizens recover from emergencies. The mission of the Carlsbad Fire Department is to enhance Carlsbad community life, and if the community felt safe and had confidence in its fire department, Crawford felt that mission had been accomplished. He enjoyed witnessing people’s lives improve physically and emotionally. He revealed, “It motivates me to see people reach heights they didn’t know were possible.”

Additionally, to raise the next generation of leaders for San Diego, Crawford taught charactercentered leadership strategy seminars. He created his book, A Chief Reflects on Leadership: Thoughts to Awaken the Mind of a Leader, as a means to express his vision. Crawford earned his ALA degree from Santa Ana College, completed the fire protection administration program with honors from San Diego State University (SDSU) and earned his JD from Western Sierra Law School. He became a firefighter/ paramedic for the City of Poway in 1984 and transferred to the Carlsbad Fire Department in 1986. Crawford fulfills his personal mantra – live in the moment – by spending time with his family. Crawford explained, “Spending time together as a family is the highlight of our personal lives.” His wife, Jolane, is the most compassionate, beautiful and sweet person he knows. They have two sons, two daughters and three grandchildren. Jolane and Kevin Crawford participate in philanthropic activities. Crawford helped create the paramedic program at Palomar College and served on the Education Vision Council for United Way as chair. Crawford advised, “Those of us who can need to help those who can’t.” In the future Crawford looks forward to reading on the beach bluffs and traveling. He’s visited Russia four times, and he and his wife envision more adventures. ¢

Conserve, Conserve, Conserve! By SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS

The

vote by the San Diego County Water Authority’s Board of Directors in February was unanimous and the message was clear: conserve, conserve, conserve. Drought conditions in parts of California are as bad as they have been in a century. As the county’s representative to the Water Authority, I joined my colleagues from twenty-four member agencies in support of furthering conservation. The directors’ vote initiated the agency’s Water Shortage and Drought Response Plan to conserve as much stored water as possible so it can be made available where it is needed most. Last activated in 2007, the plan is designed to preserve the water held in storage and to minimize the impacts of supply challenges. The board also approved alerting all of its member agencies that the region is at Level 1 Drought Watch. That means that water district officials must identify specific actions necessary for their communities, such as repairing leaks quickly, limiting irrigation to the evening and early-morning hours and expanding use of recycled and non-potable water. As we lay plans to conserve, we can feel good about our track

record. San Diego County has reduced its water consumption by 27% since 2007, even though our population has increased. The Water Authority, to its credit, has greatly expanded the county’s storage capacity and has made capital investments and negotiated agreements to diversify the sources of our water portfolio. Since January, when I took over as the county’s water board representative, I have toured the Colorado River Aqueduct and the Sacramento/San Joaquin Bay Delta. Those trips drove home an important point: that most of the water we consume travels great distances, and at great cost, to reach us. And when water flows from our faucets, it’s no accident. To maintain our quality of life for our homes, businesses and farms, we must continue to diversify our supplies and to expand water recycling and reuse. And of course, conservation is key. To learn more about how to conserve water visit the Water Authority’s website at www.sdcwa.org.  Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

TEEN BANDS GATHER FOR A NIGHT OF MUSIC, DANCING AND VIDEO GAMES photo provided by the City of Carlsbad

unk, indie and rock music hit each other head on in the recent 11th Annual Teen Scene at the Calavera Hills Community Center. The main event, Battle of the Bands, gathered quite a crowd as ten bands took center stage to battle for the title of champion. Bands were judged by music industry professionals in five categories: on-stage presence, vocal ability, instrumental talents, originality and crowd response. The victors, Occupancy 64, now Misinterpretations, a pop punk band with members from Carlsbad and Encinitas, won a one-day recording session in Hurley’s professional recording studio, along with Big Bear ski lift tickets and paid gigs with the Rock the Library concert series. Occupancy 64 was started in early 2012 by childhood friends Jack Lambert (guitar/vocals) and Rylan Lacey (bass). Through member changes early on, Tommy English joined on drums, but later switched to guitar when AJ Tartol took over. You can find the band’s music online at www.occupancy64.bandcamp.com or www.facebook.com/occupancy64. Step Forward Lads, a North County indie/rock band who has hit the stage with bands like The Black Keys, Modest Mouse and Jimmy Eat World took second place. Third place went to Consensus, a Mission Viejo bred band with a taste for music of all kinds. Other highlights of the events included an art café, a neon dance room, and a GameTruck which held four game units for gamers to choose from and play.

Rachael Shay, the special events supervisor for the City of Carlsbad said, “The caliber of talent that Teen Scene attracts as well as its highquality production, professional judges, and prizes have made it one of the largest teen events in North County. The City of Carlsbad is proud to offer this venue for creative expression to its young residents.” For more information on the Teen Scene or other upcoming events visit www.carlsbadca.gov/parksandrec or call the special events hotline at 760-434-2843. 

:::: IN OUR OWN BACKYARD

CAMPING MADE EASY

here’s nothing like the great outdoors and camping is one way to take it all in. Camping brings a change of pace, fresh air, and the chance to wake up to a chorus of birdsong to name a few things. It’s the perfect remedy for the busy day-to-day work schedule, and the adventure element allows for families to spend time together. Trying it close to home, in your own backyard, is a good way to start.

Make it a True Getaway Keep it Simple • Keep an eye on the weather. A soggy tent and muddy ground will probably have you running inside the house. • Pick a date when you or the kids don’t have school or events the next day. • Don’t purchase too large a tent. A small one will be much quicker and easier to put up. Better yet, if it’s a clear night, skip the tent altogether and sleep out under the stars. • Go off the radar. Tuck your cell phone and tablet away for the day for an instant stress reliever. • Don’t forget the bug spray. Camping is fun, bug bites aren’t.

• As much as possible, pretend the house is not there. Don’t use electricity. • Play some games. A scavenger hunt, board games, playing cards, trivia, or croquet are all great activities. • Use charcoal or colored pencils to take nature rubbings in your yard or press flowers and leaves into a scrapbook. • Explore your neighborhood. Set out with a compass or map to trek local trails. • Plan a sensational dinner that can be cooked entirely on the barbecue. • Do some bird watching, sing campﬁre songs and swap ghost stories. Bring a tape recorder so you can record the best songs and the scariest ghost stories for posterity. • Make a campﬁre. Have kids collect wood and teach them how to light and manage a fire safely. • Do some stargazing and pay no heed to a bedtime; everyone will eventually fall asleep to the sounds of nature. • Light the barbecue again after it gets dark and enjoy a late night marshmallow roast.

Now go outside and set up camp . . . no travel required! 

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

A Seller’s Market Again? Are You Sure? by AL REX, CPA & Realtor

fter seeing prices increase by 19% in 2013, most people in the real estate business felt that 2014 would be more of a normal year, with modest appreciation in home values and a market which had both sellers and buyers on even ground. We all expected to see an increased number of homes for sale with buyers having plenty to choose from, and thought that “multiple offers” were something of the past. Another factor of a normal year is that we start seeing the number of homes for sale increase from January all the way through the summer. This is the market we anticipated for the early months of 2014.

The reality is we have even less homes for sale today than we did last year at this time, making this the lowest inventory level seen in over ten years. It’s not totally clear as to why we are not seeing a higher number of homes on the market, but we do have a strong buyer demand that is fueled by low mortgage rates. And this strong buyer demand, coupled with a low number of homes for sale, translates to our zip code being once again in a “seller’s market.” So what does that mean to you? Well if you are carrying a lot of debt on your home and have not been able to refinance in the past, possibly because you’ve had less than 20% equity, this demand for homes may run up the values and give you the equity needed for a refinance. Even though we did see an increase in mortgage rates from the “sixty-year record low” of last year, thirty-year rates are still hovering in the mid-to-low 4% range. And most agree, it’s not a matter of “if” interest rates will go up, but “when.” So if you have not refinanced in the last few years, now may be a good time. If you are thinking of selling your home in order to upsize or downsize, now would absolutely be a good time. Why? Unless your next home purchase will be all cash, making that move now should land you one of those loans in the mid-to-low 4% range. The result will save you thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan. In addition, having

a low interest rate helps you apply more of your payment towards principal, enabling you to more rapidly pay off your loan. We’re not sure how long the inventory will remain low, but whether you’re staying, selling, or buying, this seller’s market is expected to remain at least into the summer. 
