Household Fiscal Year?
W
Derrick Breaux Publisher
hile many businesses use a calendar year for convenient accounting purposes, I’ve come to realize that the vast majority of people actually run their homes similar to a fiscal year basis. Sure, everyone likes to gear up and prepare for the big symbolic New Year celebration, but for most families, Jan. 1 merely marks the halfway point on the annual journey of household responsibility and schedules. Shouldn’t there be a big prize waiting for each of us when we finish the year? A calendar year ending in December doesn’t seem very exciting. Kids go back to school in January – certainly no prize for most of them. Tax season is looming right after the beginning of the new calendar year. Again, not very exciting for most of us. Although technically a new year, everyone is typically still quite involved with trying to get through their fiscal year. What I mean by this is that the end of the year for most families seems to take place in June. That’s right… June is officially the end of our household fiscal year. June is when kids finish school – in fact, many kids graduate or get promoted to the next grade. It is the month that moms and dads are typically limping through the finish line donating their final volunteer hours in the classrooms (I have to admit that I’ve read a few hilarious postings about this in some of my recent social media binges). Spring sports are finishing up. The gift of warm weather is upon us. Summer must be the end-of-year prize! Although we are spoiled in San Diego and blessed with beautiful weather year round, I still love summer. Summer brings freedom for kids – I’m sure some parents may argue that it can also bring boredom. Summer is a time for family vacations, trips to the beach, outside barbeques, walks with the dog, playing outside until sunset, and creating lifelong memories. For my daughter who recently graduated from high school, summer is a time of transition. It marks the end of a huge chapter in her life and the beginning of the rest of her adult life. The start of her new household fiscal year comes with unlimited promise, excitement, uncertainty, exploration, dedication, and nervousness – all wrapped up into a couple of months. Perhaps we should all rethink the traditional New Year celebration concept. What we should all really be celebrating is a Year “End” party (in June). I see the Year End celebration as a festive event where adults get to congratulate each other for actually making it through the year in one piece. The occasion should include high fives, hugs, toasts, and perhaps, some type of victory dance. I definitely think that we might be on to something here. I hope everyone has a great summer!

he recent 16th Annual Celebrity Golf Championship held at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa had it all, from celebrity sightings to sports enthusiasts and acts of kindness. The event raised over $135,000 for both the Junior Seau Foundation, which strives to support and empower children through prevention awareness, and the Marshall Faulk Foundation, which seeks to create opportunities for children to help them succeed. Additionally, a portion of the funds were donated to support the families who lost their homes in the San Diego wildfires. Around fifty celebrities from national sports leagues, television, radio, and the music industry, as well as Olympians showed their support for the charities. Former MLB All-Star winner Rick Rhoden took first place at the event. With athletes, entertainers, and Hollywood celebrities all competing in a fun game of golf, the links were a sight to see that day.

A Solid Foundation CCF GRANT AWARDS CELEBRATION PROVIDES SUPPORT BASE FOR THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY
T
his year marked the 7th Annual Grant Awards Celebration for the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF), a branch of the San Diego Foundation. CCF generously awarded $104,000 to seven local nonprofit organizations. These grants will be used to promote stronger leadership, engagement and volunteerism within the Carlsbad community. The programs that received funding include the Rotational Shelter Program at Interfaith Shelter Network of San Diego, the CHSTV program at Carlsbad High School’s Television Booster Club, Friends Helping Friends at Kids for Peace, STEM Education & Career Exploration program at Encuentros Leadership, Carlsbad Science Day at the Carlsbad Educational Foundation, Clean Beach Coalition project at I Love A Clean San Diego, and ENGAGE CARLSBAD! Connecting Commerce and the Community program at Sustainable Surplus Exchange. “We’re honored to present the CCF grants to these outstanding organizations,” said Dale Isaacs, Grants Committee Chair. “CCF is grounded in the belief that community leadership and volunteerism are the building blocks for broader community engagement. These grantee programs demonstrate how local organizations are supporting our community in creative ways.” According to CCF, the late Matt McLaughlin has bestowed a legacy gift onto The San Diego Foundation for use by affiliate foundations in North County San Diego. Due to the Live Here, Give Here Matching Program, all CCF membership generated grant-making funds will be matched.
Pam Valinet, Chair of CCF, stressed the importance of building a community endowment for the benefit of the area. CCF is devoted to “improving the quality of life and meeting emerging needs in Carlsbad, providing funds annually to local organizations and causes, and giving the community a vehicle for legacy planning and gifts that will benefit Carlsbad now and forever,” she stated.

A LIFELONG Surfer Avalon Johnson Successfully Rides the Crests of Her Life by LINDA FRABL | photo by Soul of Photography
D
on’t call Harbor Pointe resident Avalon Johnson, a 16-year-old incoming senior at Classical Academy High School (CAHS), a typical surf bum. Even though she admitted, “I surf to clear my mind, and I love doing anything on, in, or near the ocean,” Avalon doesn’t spend her days just sitting around and waiting for the perfect wave. Rather, she creates her own ideal conditions and successfully rides the crests of her life. A lifelong surfer, Avalon now frequents surf competitions as the founder of her high school’s surf team. She recalled, “When I decided to attend CAHS, my first obstacle was the lack of a surf team. So I decided to start one!” That can-do attitude also allows Avalon to succeed academically, and she especially enjoys AP Calculus (“I love infinite integeral problems”) and biology (“I’m intrigued by discovering new materials and experimenting at the molecular level”).

Interested in becoming either a biomedical engineer or an oncologist, Avalon applied and was accepted into the Oncofertility Program at UC San Diego last summer. While there, she learned about cancer, fertility and conducting research, and even designed and created a medical research poster. Avalon exclaimed, “My poster was accepted at Northwestern University, and I had the opportunity to present my research at that school’s Oncofertility Consortium!” This summer, in addition to trying to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award by building a surf rack at Tamarack State Beach, Avalon will be traveling with her sister to El Salvador with the Christian Surfing Federation in order to help the local villages and orphanages. Avalon stated, “My sister and I are collecting 100 toothbrushes and toothpastes, and we are making cartoon signs in Spanish to post in the orphanages on how to brush their teeth and wash their hands properly.” A surfer to the core, Avalon gleefully added, “Fingers crossed that we also get to score some decent waves there!” Her sense of volunteerism comes from her parents, both of whom work in the medical field and continually inspire Avalon. She revealed, “The passion they have for helping their patients encourages me to strive to help others; they are the reason I have fallen in love with volunteer work around the world.” Avalon also cherishes reading, running, yoga, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. As for her future dream goal, Avalon declared, “I want to travel the world and experience as many different cultures as I can... while surfing!” ¢

:::: YOUR NEIGHBOR’S RECIPE
~ Brian’s ~
SPICY MAPLE
“BACON CANDY” Ingredients 1
pound of thick cut bacon (regular cut will not work for this recipe) Dark brown sugar Pure maple syrup Red pepper flakes
Directions Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place bacon in a wide frying pan. (You will need to cook all of it at once.) 3. For this recipe the bacon must cook flattened so you will need to place a pot (with a slighly smaller diameter) inside the pan on top of the bacon with something in it to weigh it down. 4. Let bacon cook, checking occasionally to see if it’s done. 5. Once bacon is cooked to your liking, drain grease and let bacon cool on a paper towel lined plate, patting away excess grease with a towel. 6. Line a baking pan with tinfoil and place a wire rack on top. Place cooled bacon on wire rack. 7. Drizzle maple syrup over bacon. Flip over to the other side and repeat. 8. On each piece of bacon sprinkle brown sugar, flipping over to the other side and repeating. 9. Follow step #7, this time sprinkling with red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. 10. Once bacon has been coated with syrup, brown sugar and red pepper flakes, place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. There is no need to flip; keep an eye on bacon to make sure bacon is not burning. 11.

Chef’s Name: Brian Barauskas Family: Girlfriend – Traci Community of Residence: Seascape Hobbies/Interests: Playing guitar, watching horror movies, visiting the beach, exploring fun new places in the area Favorite Local Activity: Bonfires and volleyball at Ponto Beach with friends About the Recipe: When I was young, I used to love to dunk my bacon in syrup. As I got older, my love for bacon only grew. Whenever I cook I love to find new ways to include it in dishes. With this recipe I am able to revisit my favorite childhood combination of savory and sweet but with a more gourmet twist. It disappears quickly every time I make it, so I recommend making a double batch! Makes an excellent pairing with Imperial Stouts or dark porters. About the Chef: I moved to Carlsbad two years ago from Pennsylvania looking to make a new life by the ocean. I work as a contractor designing granite kitchens and baths all throughout Southern California. In my spare time I play guitar for a country band and enjoy creating projects using reclaimed wood and found objects for home interiors.

Here’s what some of Steve’s Carlsbad Clients are saying about his services: June 2013: I just purchased my second property in the Aviara Community, again working with Steve Lincoln of The Lincoln Reality Group. Steve did a wonderful job finding my primary residence and when I wanted to find an upper-end investment property, there was no question I wanted Steve’s expert advice. His knowledge of the Aviara market is unmatched and he quickly identified and pursued candidate properties and was always available from start to end to work with me. His experience in all aspects of a real estate transactions combined with his valuable knowledge of construction, inspections, and important financial aspects guided me through the entire transaction. I recommend Steve unequivocally. Many thanks to Steve and his team for another fantastic experience.
Steve Lincoln was the finest real estate professional that I have worked with in my life. At a time when my Mother had just died and I was responsible for selling her home, he took care of every part of the home sale as if it was his own. He had a staff of consultants who fixed everything for an economical price. He took care of all of the donations and give aways. From the time we met, it was only three weeks before the home went on the market. Within one day, we had 5 offers We sold the house for $58,000 more than the asking price and the escrow closed within 25 days. Steve took care of every aspect of the house prep and the sale. I was out of the country at the time and, in some miraculous way, he was able to communicate and take charge of every aspect of the sale. Steve Lincoln is a perfect ten!

incent Kitch may have arrived on the local art scene this last year, but he is certainly not a newcomer. As the Cultural Arts Manager for the City of Carlsbad, Vincent brings twenty plus years of experience to the position. Vincent did not always dream of being a government official working in art administration. Rather, it was a series of events beginning back in elementary school that led him to his career. “I began playing trombone in 4th grade and really went to college to study music because it was the only thing from high school that I was truly interested in,” he explained. After completing his Master’s degree in music at Illinois State University, Vincent entered the world where art meets government as the arts program coordinator for the City of El Paso, TX. “I took that job and have worked in government arts administration now for over twenty years,” Vincent shared. Over the years, the scope of his career has carried him into a variety of positions, from magnet school director to arts consultant and conference speaker. But it all points in the same direction, “working to ensure arts and culture are accessible to everyone,” he said. “Public service is a calling for most of us who do it and to be able to work in the arts and public service is something I really treasure.” In just the last six months as Carlsbad’s cultural arts manager, Vincent has initiated a national call and secured public art on the Rail Trail Roundabout Project in Carlsbad Village, reopened the sculpture garden behind their office, and piloted a new arts education program with the Parks and Recreation Department and Leo Carillo Historic Park. He explained the impetus for the projects; “We want to develop collaborative partnerships that will increase access, awareness, and impact of arts and culture in Carlsbad for out residents and visitors alike.” But it’s not all about art. During his time away from work, he can be found riding his motorcycle, camping, and sea kayaking. Vincent has also held his real estate license and is in interested in investment properties. As for his music that was so instrumental early in his life, he looks forward to finding the time to pick up his horn again. “It’s been about two years since I’ve performed and I miss it. It’s an important part of who I am,” Vincent shared. ¢

With over forty musicians and a couple thousand spectators, the Walk filled The Village with a spectacular magical presence as guests wandered around to the beat of their own instrument carving out a path through The Village inspired by their musical tastes. Headliners included Wu Man’s new collaboration with Son de San Diego, Trouble in the Wind, sonic inventions by experimental percussionist Nathan Hubbard, and the modern surf guitar musical styling of The Red Fox Tails. The Walk is made possible in part by the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation as well as through grants from the San Diego Foundation and the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office.

She likes swimming and playing soccer, but she loves hanging out with her older siblings and “wants to be a runner just like them when she gets older,” affirmed Michelle. And what about Michelle, herself? She is the clubhouse director for the Boys & Girls Club at Bressi Ranch, a job she was hired for after a very successful run coaching middle school track and cross country
“When I first arrived at Aviara to coach, they had a maximum of fifteen to twenty kids coming out for the teams,” Michelle explained. “This past year we have had over 100 kids come out for cross country and 100 for track.

It might surprise people to know the Engens don’t watch television. Instead, they busy their evenings reading, running, and listening to music. Sometimes Courtney bakes, and everyone eats. The Engen family spends their time relishing their lives in Carlsbad. ¢

CHANGES THERAPEUTIC LITERACY CENTER SPECIALISTS WILL FURTHER ADDRESS THE CAUSES OF LEARNING CHALLENGES WITH NEW NORTH COUNTY LOCATION by AMY LEHRER | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
hen Maria Bagby worked in schools as a reading specialist, she noticed students failed to reach their potential and remained in intervention programs year after year. She discovered why and opened the Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC) to help children thrive quickly and permanently. Traditional approaches focus on developing ways for students to compensate for their weaknesses while learning in school. Even the most innovative programs fall short when they focus on symptoms rather than causes. At the Therapeutic Literacy Center, highly trained clinicians and educational therapists identify the causes of students’ weaknesses and address them immediately so that lifetime accommodations become unnecessary. Maria
advised, “When a child is working harder than necessary, it’s time to look at why and what can be done differently and more efficiently. There is always a reason a child struggles with homework or performs poorly in school. Learning problems happen when a child’s underlying processes are not working as efficiently as they could. This can be changed.” Some of the underlying processes that may need to be developed include auditory and visual processing, neuro-timing, core learning skills and integration of primitive reflexes, memory and processing speed. As many as fifty percent of those diagnosed with ADHD have hidden auditory processing challenges that are creating issues with attention. And twenty-five percent of students have one of the seven types of dyslexia. Many of the underlying processes can be difficult to identify, but easy to fix. None of the deficits have to be permanent; they
28 • 92011Magazine.com • August | September 2014
can be corrected with therapeutic training that enables efficient learning. Any child with a learning challenge is eligible for TLC services. TLC clients include children without an identified disorder and others with IEPs, dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, attention, memory and processing issues, and auditory processing disorder. Additionally, TLC has added some evening staff members that are able to connect with families to provide one-on-one homework help for students not needing educational therapy per se, but rather some mentoring regarding how to improve their study and organizational skills. At TLC, children are individually assessed and receive individualized training in a oneon-one setting. They have access to the latest technological advances including sound therapies, deficit-specific auditory processing stimulation and training, audio-vocal training,

Carlsbad Pop Warner Prepares to Ignite the Field this Season
30 • 92011Magazine.com • August | September 2014
hdown A
ugust marks an exciting new season for the Carlsbad Pop Warner (CPW) league. Committed to establishing a league that promotes a lifelong passion for teamwork, trust, friendship, and commitment, CPW is a shining example of academic and athletic excellence in Carlsbad. Read along as we talk with Carlsbad Pop Warner Vice President Kim Kline about upcoming events this season and how the leagues are helping Carlsbad’s youth learn important life-long lessons, on and off the field.

Q&A with
Kim Kline
Vice President Carlsbad Pop Warner
What is the history and motivation behind Carlsbad Pop Warner and Cheer? When does the season begin? What types of programs are offered? Carlsbad Pop Warner (CPW) was started by a group of active parents in the middle of the 1970s to provide a safe and instructional environment for local boys and girls to play tackle football and be cheerleaders. Those people felt that Pop Warner was far superior to other national youth tackle football organizations in that it stresses safety in all aspects of the game, including proper tackling techniques, trained and certified coaches, properly fitted helmets and shoulder pads, and players and teams divided and separated by age and weight. Pop Warner also stresses playing the game the “right way” – good sportsmanship, leadership, etc. That same philosophy continues today as CPW is one of the leading associations in San Diego County. CPW teams are highly successful in local, regional and national competition. They even sent off a team of 10 and 11-year-olds to the National Championship in Florida a few years back. Moreover, CPW acts as a direct feeder into the local high school football programs – primarily Carlsbad High School (CHS). In any given year, the CHS football roster is full of CPW alumni who form the core and leadership for teams that annually compete for CIF Championships. The offical season begins Aug 1. We offer flag football, tackle football, cheer, and the Challenger program.
32 • 92011Magazine.com • August | September 2014
What is CPW’s overall mission? Carlsbad Pop Warner strives to help young people achieve their goals through sound leadership and commitment to academic and athletic performance. These youth are the cornerstone of our future. We take pride in guiding these young people through their journey with our football and cheer programs that CPW provides. A safe and memorable experience for our players and cheerleaders is, and always will be, our number one priority at CPW.
Can you highlight upcoming significant dates for this season? What can one expect as a participant? Aug. 1 is the first day of practice. As a participant, once Aug. 1 arrives, he/she can expect five practices a week until school starts. There is a lot of hard work and dedication that goes into getting ready for football season. The season officially starts Aug. 1, but coaches and kids are both working hard in the off-season to be ready for the upcoming season. We have a ten-game schedule that goes until October, starting Aug. 30. Those teams that move on into playoffs could play into December. For the cheer program, practices begin on Aug. 1 and run four days a week for two hours each day until school starts. Then practice time drops down to two to three days per week. Each cheer team is assigned to a football team and follows that team to all of their games
to get the crowd excited and cheering. Each cheerleader is also given the opportunity to attend a one day JAMZ Cheer Camp where they learn basic cheerleading skills, safety, and participate in team building activities. In addition to cheering at football games, all cheer teams participate in cheer competitions. Flag and Mitey Mite divisions are exhibition performances. All other divisions compete for the opportunity to advance to Regionals and Nationals. In the past CPW has sent several cheer teams to the National Cheer Competition at Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
Tell us about your coaching staff and their professional background. What does the hiring process entail? First off all, all of our coaches are volunteers. All have full time jobs in other industries. Some are lawyers, realtors, police officers, construction workers, sales associates, coaches – you name it, we probably have it in our organization. We have an application and interview process that all coaching candidates go through. All of our coaching staff, as well as board members, submit to a background check as well. Coaches applying for a spot on a football or cheer team are required to attend and complete training for their respective sport. The focus is on safety, while making the experience fun and rewarding for all participants. There is also a minimum requirement of two CPR/First Aid certified staff per team.

We have activities for the kids to participate in front of local companies like Fortis & YOGALUX fitness center and Black Ops. We also have food vendors and a DJ.

four month season gets under way. We have monthly restaurant nights at local establishments like Señor Grubby’s, Rubio’s, and Knockout Pizzeria.
What is the most exciting aspect about being a part of CPW? The most exciting part of being a part of CPW is seeing the kids grow, learn and excel. To see the excitement on their faces when they get to suit up for their first game or put on their cheer uniform for the first time is priceless. We are always excited to see the kids; it’s such a good feeling to see our football and cheer athletes come together as a team and work hard. That hard work pays off in so many ways. To see the long lasting relationships that are built every season and maintained throughout the years is amazing. This also goes for the parents as well. During those four months we all become one big family.
What are you looking forward to the most in regards to this upcoming season? One thing we are most looking forward to is hosting a Challenger game. We did this last year and it was one of the most rewarding games. Also, we are coming off a very successful season last year. We had four football teams win their divisions and move on to playoffs and two cheer teams advance to the Regional competition.
How can people go about finding out more information about CPW’s leagues, important Pop Warner football and cheer dates and more? For those who would like to learn more about CPW visit www.carlsbadpopwarner.com or www.palomarpopwarner.com.
What are the three or four reasons participants enjoy CPW? Participants enjoy CPW because it allows them to participate in a great league, whether that be football or cheer, builds friendships that last a lifetime, helps improve confidence, and, of course, is a lot of fun.

2014 Mavericks Fall Sports Preview
I
am excited for the 2014 fall season. Last fall our CIF Championship came from the women’s tennis team. They are looking to defend their Div. 2 Team Championship, as well as add some individual medals. Football will make its debut in the Brother In Arms Classic at Cathedral Catholic High School this season, taking on Corona Del Mar from the Southern
Section. Cross country looks to fill the void of several elite runners last year, but they reload every season to make a run at the league and CIF team titles. Field hockey finished strong in the semi-finals in 2014 and will look to make a run at a league title. Be on the look out for the men’s water polo team this season, as they prepare for an exciting schedule, featuring

LCYO All Stars
LYCO GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAMS HEAD TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR THE FIRST TIME
T
he catchy tune of “We Own It”, the La Costa Youth Organization (LCYO) Girls Softball team’s victory song, will soon become a popular favorite among the La Costa community as history has been made. This year marked the first time in LCYO history that two girls softball teams, 8U and 10U, represented San Diego County at the State Championships. LCYO is a nonprofit sports league that provides baseball and softball programs for boys and girls, ages 4 to 15, in the greater La Costa area, and the excitement over this recent announcement has quickly become contagious at the league. This past June, the 8U team won the South San Diego Division Championships, beating Imperial Valley after seven straight wins in a double elimination tournament. It was the first division win for the team, securing their first ever trip to the State Championships. The 8U and 10U teams both came out victorious at the championships at the San Marcos tournament in early June.
Annette Waite, LCYO 8U Director and Coach, brought up trust as one of the motivating factors that kept the girls playing strong. “The girls have all learned to trust each other; they not only learn to play together as a team but they also learn to play together as a family. The coaches remind them of this at every practice and game and it shows while they’re out on the field. They will always be backed up and supported by their teammates whether they make a good or bad play,” she stated.

anking in as one of the nation’s top five longest running triathlons, the Carlsbad Triathlon has become the highly anticipated event of the year here in Carlsbad. The 33rd Annual Carlsbad Triathlon tested over 1,000 athletes’ endurance from across the world and consisted of a 1-kilometer swim, a 25-kilometer bike ride and a 5-kilometer run to the finish along the coastline of Carlsbad. With scenic views of the beaches and lagoons, triathletes were able to take in in the natural beauty of the city as they ran and cycled to the finish. Participants of all ages and abilities came out to compete and cheer each other on. Some athletes even decided to don their favorite costume, just for fun. Congratulations to all of the 2014 Carlsbad Triathlon participants!

Relay For Life of Carlsbad
CARLSBAD STANDS IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST CANCER
T
he Relay for Life of Carlsbad was founded by Carlsbad resident Dave Mann and his wife, Jodi. A survivor himself, Dave was inspired by the Relay for Life event in La Jolla. He and his wife participated in the event while Dave was recovering from his last month of chemotherapy. It was there that it dawned on Dave that Carlsbad needed a similar event. The duo paired together with a staff partner from the event and the Relay For Life of Carlsbad was born. This year’s relay took place at Valley Middle School with an opening ceremony to remember those who have battled cancer and to inspire hope for all cancer patients, their families and friends. Over twenty-three teams and 215 participants raised over $50,000 and all proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society. After the run, a luminaria ceremony was held to remember lost loved ones and show support to those currently battling or surviving cancer. Hannah Nancarrow, daughter of Loren Nancarrow, a longtime San Diego News anchor who lost his battle to cancer last December, was the key speaker of the evening. The community came together to work through their grief and find hope, or light, as the lit luminarias symbolized. The evening came to an end with the closing ceremony. Participants took time to reflect on their lives and commitment to fight on for a cure.

A HELPING HAND Sandra Alston Volunteers for the Friends of Pac Rim by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Soul of Photography
S
andra Alston and her family have lived in the Parkside Community of Carlsbad for the past thirteen years. “It is an amazing warm neighborhood where the kids play outside constantly,” shared Sandra. “There is a real sense of community and caring for each other.” Perhaps, it is the affection Sandra feels for her community that has motivated her to give back and become the enthusiastic volunteer that she is today. Sandra has volunteered with such groups as the Moonlight Cultural Foundation and the Carlsbad Education Foundation. It was her love for children and the arts, she explained, that enticed her to get involved. “Moonlight Cultural Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and enhancing the theatrical experience at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista, a fantastic venue to see live theatre locally,” said Sandra. “Carlsbad Educational Foundation provides private support for public education programs throughout the Carlsbad Unified School District.” Friends of Pac Rim – a private nonprofit foundation made up of parent volunteers that raises money for educational enrichment programs and special projects at Pacific Rim Elementary School – is another organization Sandra has volunteered for, and is, perhaps, her proudest achievement. “‘Friends’ funds 100% of the art teacher (and supplies), drama teacher, science lab teacher for second and third grade, The Literacy Connection (an award-winning reading program) and assists with new technology,” stated Sandra. “Without this funding these enrichment programs would not exist.” The foundation’s main fundraiser is a Jog-A-Thon held in the fall; and this year it raised an unprecedented $75,000. “I am proud this was the fundraiser I was most involved with and over the last three years helped raise over $150,000,” shared Sandra. Although her last child will be done with Pac Rim in June, Sandra’s hope for the “Friends” remains the same: to continue school enrichment programs, making more space for subjects like art, science, and drama. Sandra is executive coordinator of the North County Philanthrophy Council which currently serves 155 member organizations in San Diego, including eighty-eight nonprofits. She looks forward to volunteering with many of these organizations including Mitchell Thorp Foundation and REINS Horsemanship Program. Aside from volunteering, Sandra enjoys walking around her community and local beaches, reading, and being a “foodie.” She also cherishes family time with her husband of twenty-two years, Bill, and her two children, Keegan and Kallee. “Our name for ourselves is ‘Team Alston’ and it is very true,” said Sandra. “We are a team and we teach our children how important it is to work, play and volunteer together as a team.” ¢ Group: Mission: Website:

arlsbad residents brought out their cowboy hats and pulled on their cowboy boots to attend the Annual Wild West Fest held at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. With workers in full Western gear, mechanical bull rides, a Rodeo Roper activity, pony rides for the kids, and a live Wild West performance by the Alpine Outlaws Western Group, attendees felt like they had just stepped back into the Old West. To get into true cowboy or gal character, attendees were encouraged to dress up and take photos in front of the Town Jail, take a ride on the ponies, or visit the trading post. Vendors including a Native American jewelry company were also in attendance, helping to set the good old western theme.

OneTrust Home Loans Combines Client Education with Loan Expediency
I
n a society marked by doing business with automated responses and long wait times, personal service can feel impossible to find. Not at OneTrust Home Loans – this local mortgage lending company is committed to exceeding client expectations. OneTrust Home Loans has been putting service first since 2008. Started by brothers Joshua and Shane Erskine, the goal was to build a company that did things a bit differently; they focused on creating a lending process with a hightech platform that upholds their commitment to customer service, transparency, and efficiency. Today, Regional Manager Kelly Kline combines OneTrusts’ focus on clients and his decade plus of lending experience to create an optimal loan experience. “OneTrust gives me the tools to ensure my clients will be well cared for, access to incredible state-of-the-art technology, an opportunity to work alongside seasoned industry leaders that understand the mortgage business, and an ability to offer competitive loan products to the Carlsbad community,” Kelly shared. Working together
with Kim Kline-Nyberg, the senior mortgage lending officer, the team is guided by the Golden Rule. “I treat all clients, coworkers, and people the way that I want to be treated: friendly, fair, welcoming, and with respect,” Kim and Kelly both commented. They understand the pressure of making mortgage decisions. “I make sure my clients are well-versed on all options available to them so they are able to make the best educated decision on one of the biggest purchases of their lives,” Kim stated. Recent challenges and changes in the lending industry have not deterred the company from fully educating clients and exceeding expectations. The team acknowledged, “We are dealing with less loan options, more regulations, and stricter underwriting credit guidelines that seem to change daily.” Kelly and Kim meet the challenge by staying true to OneTrust Home Loan’s mission “to ensure borrowers get answers in a timely manner, a person to chat with, and a process that closes their loan with unmatched efficiency and speed.”

With a motto of “Service Is Everything”, a wide selection of loan products, and a personal connection to the community, OneTrust Home Loans defines local lending. “We are a true San Diego-based company with local roots with a vision of being a preferred lender throughout San Diego County,” Kelly shared.

T

According to ArtSplash Chair Joni Miringoff, the event will feature art for all ages. Museum-quality chalk paintings created by professional artists, as well as interactive art-making for children of all ages, will be available to the public.

What a few art enthusiasts began in 2002 has now evolved into a popular event that brings in around 30,000 people and has provided funding for enriching programs in the Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Vista Unified School Districts as well as the San Dieguito Union High School District and Encinitas Union School District. To date, ArtSplash has
contributed over $50,000 to visual, performing arts and music programs for K-12 school programs. Joni elaborated, “Our modest grants prove educators and students are hungry for art.

:::: HOME TIPS
10
TIPS ON HOW TO USE WATER WISELY THIS SUMMER
by TORI MORRISON
A
ccording to the City of San Diego, June 1 marked a change in the amount of irrigation time San Diegans are allotted in order to accommodate the demanding warmer days of summer. The City has declared, “From June 1 through Oct. 31, when the weather is hotter, the public must water their landscape prior to 10 a.m. in the morning, and not until after 6 p.m. in the evening, to lessen evaporation and get the most out of their water use.” Steps can also be made to conserve water within the household. Here are some tips on how to use water more efficiently at home.
1.
Plug the sink or bath instead of running the water to rinse your razor, or wait for the water to adjust to your desired temperature.
6.
Check your hoses, faucets and appliances regularly for leaks.
2.
Use your dishwasher. Dishwashers save more water and energy than washing dishes by hand. Energy Star dishwashers are more energy efficient than older models, so they end up reducing water waste. If washing dishes by hand, scrap food in the trash before washing, plug the sink, and then wash.
3.
Avoid playing with recreational water toys that require a considerable amount of water. Try water guns or water balloons for some fun in the sun.
4.
Instead of using the hose to clean sidewalks, garages and driveways, grab a broom.
5.
Recycle water. If you drop ice cubes, or need to get rid of water you used to steam vegetables, don’t waste it. You can use the water to feed plants, or turn the excess water into a soup.
44 • 92011Magazine.com • August | September 2014
7.
Place tissues into a trash can instead of flushing them.
8.
Purchase a plastic or aluminum water bottle. It will cut down on the amount of water you waste washing glasses.
9.
Wash your car on your lawn. That way your lawn will get watered at the same time.
10.
Join a community pool instead of wasting water on a personal pool at home.

CURIOSITY Point Loma's Beautiful Landmarks and Nature by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
e're deep into summer: the sun is bright, the sand is soft, and the ocean is so inviting. For what remains of your summer break, take a day to explore Point Loma, offering historical landmarks, tide pools, awe-inspiring cliffs and hiking trails.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse takes you back in time to when sailing ships relied on these beacons to guide them through safe waters. Built in 1854, its light could be seen for twenty-five miles. However, the builders didn’t take into account the signature low fog that would obscure the light, and so in 1891, the lighthouse was closed and a new Point Loma lighthouse was constructed at a lower elevation. The old lighthouse has now been converted into a museum, where you can explore what life was like there and see the old lamp whose large beam once permeated the peninsula. Below the lighthouses are a series of silent sentinels collectively known as Fort Rosecrans. The Point Loma peninsula shapes a natural barrier at the entrance of San Diego Bay, and in 1899 the United States Department of War built a series of gun batteries into the cliffs as a strategic harbor defense. While you can’t
46 • 92011Magazine.com • August | September 2014
enter the batteries themselves today, you can walk alongside these massive strongholds. Whale-watching is popular here, but head to the tide pools to see the tinier creatures that make homes on our shores. Sea stars, mussels, crabs, and other gastropods come and go with the tides. While fun to look at, rangers warn not to touch the animals, as many of them are sensitive and can be harmed or killed from being handled by humans. The tide pools are parallel to the Coastal Tidepool Trail, and more hiking can be explored on the two-mile Bayside Trail. For history hounds, the Cabrillo National Monument offers a closer look at the first explorer to land on the United States’ western shores, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With a large statue to commemorate his exploration, the park also features annual reenactments of his landing.

ome of us take for granted our everyday communication with others, never thinking about a simple “Good morning!” or “How are you?” However, for some people these are anything but simple. Kolby Kail has a passion, and that passion is people – in knowing that every child and adult has potential that can be transformed into reaching their highest communication goals. She founded Kolby Kail Speech Therapy to unlock these transformations. She fell in love with speech pathology in college, and holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association), as well as a California Licensure in Speech Language Pathology. Kolby Kail Speech Therapy is unique in many ways. Kolby travels to all her clients, offering therapy sessions for pre-language skills, oral-motor, articulation and speech production, phonological awareness, receptive
and expressive language, pragmatics, fluency (stuttering), feeding and voice. She is ethical and honest, providing referrals when needed, and she is also in the final stages of her PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) certification, a very intense and lengthy training, at which point she will be one of only five PROMPT Certified Clinicians in the state, and the only one in San Diego. The majority of Kolby’s clients have language delays, articulation problems, motor speech disorders or are nonverbal; and she is proud that she can help others become functional communicators. She relayed a heartwarming success story: “One client began working with me at the age of 1 year and 9 months; he was nonverbal, very cautious of others, cried and screamed when unknown people came close to him; he was unable to go to the doctor without a full-blown

meltdown. He is now at 2 years and 7 months and speaking in three to five word sentences. He loves new people, plays at the park with others, attempts novel tasks and loves therapy. He cries when I leave!” Kolby takes a whole family approach in her practice. “The most exciting part is seeing growth not only with the client but with their family members as well,” she shared. “Seeing a family’s frustration decrease is a truly rewarding thing. They allow me to become part of the family, getting invited to dinners, birthday parties, graduations, etc. which makes my job that much more rewarding.” She is proud to have founded a practice which serves people. Kolby concluded, “The fact that my passion and keen ability to help people communicate has become a business is beyond gratifying.”

CORNERSTONE OF THE
COMMUNITY
FIRE CHIEF MICHAEL DAVIS PROUDLY SERVES THE CITIZENS OF CARLSBAD
by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Lauren Nygard Photography
C
arlsbad Fire Chief Michael Davis has strong roots in the San Diego community – he is a San Diego native, received his master’s degree in public administration from San Diego State University and has lived and worked in Carlsbad for twenty-four years. He also knew from a young age that he wanted to be a public servant. “My father was a firefighter in El Cajon. He left the fire service to pursue a career with U.S. Customs. He enjoyed his work, but he loved his time in the fire department and would talk about it often,” revealed Chief Davis. Following in his father’s footsteps, Chief Davis began his fire service career as a part-time firefighter in Del Mar. According to Chief Davis, this program gives young men and women the opportunity to see if the fire service is a good career choice for them while they are simultaneously continuing their education. Needless to say, Chief Davis was hooked! He was hired by the Carlsbad Fire Department in 1990 as a firefighter paramedic, and since that time has served the community in every position within the department. He was promoted to fire captain in 2003, battalion chief in 2007, division chief in 2012 and appointed as fire chief in 2014. In this position, he leads ninety full-time fire service professionals and 130 volunteers to provide hazard emergency services. Chief Davis and his staff are dedicated to helping the community rebuild and recover from the recent fires. They are also committed to educating residents about fire prevention, preparedness and emergency response efforts. “Open spaces add so much to the beauty of our surroundings, and in many cases, these open spaces are subject to fire. Understanding the environment we live in, as well as individual preparedness, helps us recover from the Poinsettia Fire and readies us for the future,” explains Chief Davis. He also gives his sincere thanks to all fire departments in and around San Diego County for their unwavering service to all communities during the Poinsettia Fire. Although his duties as a public servant certainly keep Chief Davis busy, he makes sure to find time to spend quality time with his wife, Ingrid, and his two daughters, Paige and Maile.“My daughters are involved with many activities, such as dance, surfing and cheerleading at Carlsbad High School. Two high school girls can be a challenge to keep up with,” Chief Davis laughed. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
How Do Multiple Offers Really Work? by AL REX, CPA & Realtor
M
ultiple offers are not always a trend that we see in San Diego County. But they do tend to occur more often when there is a lower inventory of homes for sale and higher buyer demand, especially if the home is desirable and priced competitively. Even though the inventory of homes on the market has increased since February, it is still a “hot market” for sellers.
If you’re selling your home and receive multiple offers (more than one offer at the same time), this puts you in a very good position to get the maximum value that the market is willing to bear. Why? Because, in most cases, your realtor will inform each party that a multiple offer situation exists and ask them to each submit their “highest and best offer” by a given deadline. Since each buyer does not know the contents of the other offers, usually one or two of the offers will come in strong and stand out above the rest. The seller and realtor then review all offers. Consideration is given to all aspects of the offers including the purchase price, terms (all cash or financed), amount of down payment, type of loan (conventional, FHA, VA), financial strength of the buyer, whether the buyer plans to occupy the property or use it as a rental, whether the offer is contingent on the sale of an existing home, etc. The seller then selects what he/she feels is the best overall offer. It is possible that one of the offers not selected may be placed in a “back-up” position, which is advantageous to the seller, in the event the first buyer can’t perform. Now what if you’re on the buyer’s side of multiple offers? How do you compete without overpaying? Well, this is radically different from the seller’s side, and I have a multi-step process
that I coach my buyer clients through if we find ourselves on the other end of multiple offers. In fact, these steps and tips could encompass another entire article, so if you are thinking about buying a home, contact me directly, and I’ll talk you through the varied scenarios.
