:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 3, No. 2 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux

College Bound

I

Derrick Breaux Publisher

believe that milestones account for a great deal of who we are as a person.

Some milestones are good. Some are not so good. One might categorize them as achievements, while others see them more as benchmarks in life.

When we aren’t in the midst of experiencing a landmark life event, we are usually working our way towards it. Excitement often builds. Anticipation grows as the event gets closer. What was once so far away is now in sight.

It’s very rare when a major life event sneaks up on us – but it does happen from time to time (good or bad).

This month marks the culmination of a 17-year-long journey. While our family is not alone – thousands of families send their children off to college each year – it certainly feels special and unique to my small family in our corner of the world.

Our beautiful and intelligent daughter is college-bound. The same little girl that we taught to ride a bike. The little girl that we began coaching in soccer at the age of four, eventually developing into a speedster that could outrun nearly every opponent down the sideline when given the opportunity.

Homework assignments. Board games at the table. Long philosophical discussions about friends, boyfriends, and life in general – whether she wanted to hear what her mother and I had to say or not. We will miss this.

We will miss it all.

I think I might be somewhat of a selfish person when it comes to family.

I don’t apologize for this. On one hand, we want her to go and begin her journey of adulthood and independence – after all, isn’t that the whole point of being a parent? Isn’t that our job?

Yes, I am selfish. We will miss the comfort and joy of seeing her around the house on a daily basis. We will miss having groups of her friends (some going all the way back to early elementary school) hanging out around the house. We will miss knowing that she is safe and sound in her bedroom. We will even miss watching her sit on the couch and speed-text what appears to be dozens of people at once. We might even miss some of the sibling bickering that inevitably takes place between the younger kiddos and her.

But we are very proud of her. We are excited for her. A big life event is upon her. We will help her move into her new dorm this week. As always, we will very much be a part our little girl’s new journey that she is starting.

Although she will still be close to home, she will still have her independence and get the full college experience by living on campus. This is something that we wanted for her.

To our daughter Ashley (a few bits of advice): Go get ‘em. Challenge yourself. Believe in yourself. Learn as much as you can, then learn more.

Simply show up – it’s more than half the battle. Always finish what you start. Be your own best friend. Live with integrity. Most importantly, cherish the moment.

P.S. We lightheartedly keep telling her that she can’t bring her laundry home on the weekends (they have laundry facilities in the dorms). But truth be told, doing a couple of loads of laundry on the weekends is a very small price to pay for us to ensure that she comes back home to visit regularly.

ancing, singing, and entertainment continued both on and off the stage all summer long at Carlsbad’s 29th Annual TGIF Concerts in the Parks Summer Series. A program of the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office, TGIF is a free summertime community concert series held throughout various parks in the city, attracting over 4,000 people per concert. The concerts welcomed a new assortment of bands such as country-western band Kelly Rae Band, dance cover bands Liquid Blue and The Mighty Untouchables, and blues and soul music band Mingo Fishtrap. Vincent Kitch, Arts Manager of the City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office, explained the significance of the concerts and the important role they play within the community, “TGIF brings music and family fun to the neighborhoods where people live and provides a great community forum for neighbors, kids, and people of all ages. And, with music a cut above the typical community concert series, TGIF reflects Carlsbad’s identity and community pride.” 

Hooters from the Hood

TWELVE WOMEN HELP THEIR FRIEND BATTLE CANCER

H

ooters from the Hood is a group of twelve women walking in the Susan G. Komen three-day walk this November. The longtime friends came together in support of Karen Sebahar, who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer last summer but now in remission. Their group name originates from the fact that all members live within 92011.

“Cancer has affected us all in some way, our grandmothers, our children, our parents and when it affected Karen, our neighbor and friend, we were going to be there for her and whatever she needed,” said member Jody White.

Friends first proposed the walk to Karen as she was undergoing surgery and chemotherapy treatments. The idea lifted her spirit during her battle with cancer. Now that she is in remission, she plans on participating with Hooters from the Hood.

“I struggle to describe it with words, yet, I am forever changed,” Karen explained. “Because of the incredible advancements in breast cancer treatment, today I am grateful to be in full remission!”

Karen has also taken an active community role. Her past activities included Carlsbad United Competitive Soccer Club management, volunteering at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, volunteering at her four children’s schools and athletics, and completing the City of Carlsbad’s eight-week C.E.R.T.

(Community Emergency Response Team) volunteer academy to assist first responders with disasters. She’s also helped with Carlsbad’s New Village Arts Theatre fundraising gala.

Hooters from the Hood has been training for the three-day walk, which is a twenty mile event. Those interested in following their journey can find them on Facebook under Hooters from the Hood. 

Painting Their World

EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT ENHANCES PACIFIC RIM CAMPUS

W

hen Carlsbad High School Senior and 92011 resident Nathan Williams received his Eagle Scout project, he decided to contribute two geographical murals to Pacific Rim Elementary.

Nathan installed a colorful world map on the Kids’ Care building. Measuring 10 by 20 feet, the creation was painted on aluminum composite panels, which were mounted on the side of the building. He customized a stencil because none this size existed.

The senior found and printed a world map on multiple 36-inch wide strips of paper later tiled together to create the overall image. After the map was transferred to the panels, numerous volunteers helped paint and adhere the panels to a plywood substructure mounted on the building.

In addition to the wall mural, Nathan restructured a disintegrating U.S. map on the school’s playground blacktop using primary-colored traffic paint. He marked the City of Carlsbad with a sun and Washington, D.C. with a star.

The project gained supporters who raised over $750 and donated $1,000 worth of materials. The future Eagle Scout spent around 180 hours on the planning, execution, and documentation of the project. He also personally organized volunteers who contributed over 200 hours.

Nathan chose Pacific Rim Elementary as his project site due to his fond memories there as a student. He explained how students used to play “state tag” on the former U.S. map.

Nathan is on his way to become an Eagle Scout this year with the project complete. He is also a member of the National Honor Society and the California Scholarship Federation. Graduating in June, he hopes to be the next Carlsbad High School valedictorian. 

T

yler Jung started playing basketball through the YMCA when he was 4 years old. Tyler loved the sport, and soon moved onto playing competitively with the National Junior Basketball (NJB) league, the Young Mavs, The San Diego All-stars, and most recently, the Sage Creek Bobcats, where he attends high school as a freshman.“I enjoy basketball because it is a fast-paced game with a lot of action and strategy. I like the team environment and the camaraderie with my teammates. I also enjoy traveling [with the team]. So far, we have traveled to Los Angeles, Orange County, and Las Vegas for tournaments,” revealed Tyler.

Inspired by his parents to achieve a balance between athletics and academics, Tyler is also an accomplished scholar. Over the course of his schooling, he has received the Presidential Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence at Aviara Oaks Elementary and Middle School, and has excelled in all subject areas – especially mathematics. “My favorite subject is math because I enjoy solving challenging problems that engage my mind and make me think. I have already completed Algebra 2/Trigonometry at Seaside Academy and am taking PreCalculus at Sage Creek during my freshman year,” related Tyler.

HIGH-TECH GADGETRY INVENTOR BOB HOTTO IS THE INNOVATION FACE OF CARLSBAD

Robert Hotto Inventor Carlsbad since 1998 High-tech gadgets, meteorites Carlsbad Beaches

obert Hotto has always loved inventing things. From an early age he had problem-solving ideas in his head.

“At 10 I wrote up my first idea for an invention that would have sped up the post office,” he explained. “The idea was a grid on the postage stamp for filling in the destination zip code.” The postmaster general missed the boat on that money-saving and efficient process, but the event was a catalyst for a lifetime of creating and productivity. Meet Bob Hotto: inventor.

A background in physics and electronic engineering started Bob working for several different engineering companies. They pursued patents in a few of his ideas that turned out very successfully. For the companies. Bob realized he could profit more from his inventions if he obtained the patents himself. “What inspires me

to work on an invention is to solve a problem or need,” he said. “It is more productive than just talking about the problem.” An example might be an e-voting application that would allow people to vote on their cell phones, but prevent multiple votes from one person, by checking the biometric fingerprint of the voter.

The result for Bob is forty-three issued U.S. patents to date. Most of his past inventions involved electronics and communications, but he is now concentrating on energy and some medical innovations.

“I am proud that most of my past inventions have become real products in the real world,” he shared. Some developments of which he is most proud include the first PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and Visual Voice Mail, part of all smart phones today. Also the Over Drive

invention, used in matrix displays such as LCD flat panel TVs. Bob’s inventions are like children to him – he loves them all. The most personal of his current projects involves an Omega-3 skin cream (created for his son) effective in skin recovery. He’s starting a whole skin care line at his company NanoTransDermals. Recently he worked with his local doctor on a new suture and cauterizing device to improve the outcome of many surgeries. He also understands the environment as the most critical issue of today, and so is working on two new and exciting energy-generating turbine processes. “I regularly advise people with good ideas for inventions to first trust themselves and research the idea,” Bob confided. “The world is richer and better off when people share their inventions.” ¢

essica and John Park’s story began while they were both working and living in San Francisco. “We met at my sushi bar in the Mission district,” recalled John. “A couple of sake bombs later and here we are.” “Here” is Carlsbad – a place where the family is happily settled with their two children, Eli (age 8) and Oliver (age 5).

The Parks made the move from San Francisco to San Diego when the boys were just babies. “We wanted them to be able to grow up with a beach/surf lifestyle,” explained John. “For us, it really is the best place to raise a young family.”

In 2010, the Parks established their home in the Poinsettia Cove neighborhood. “The location is ideal and the waves can get really fun,” described John. “It’s great to look out the window and see what the wind is doing, skate across the street for a quick surf check, and get surf in all within two hours.” He added, “It’s a great community and we’ve made some lifelong relationships here with other families.”

Jessica and John are founders of Leucadia’s Fish 101 restaurant, where John – who graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Business Economics and, later, from the California Culinary Academy – works as chef and co-owner. Jessica – who also

“Eli just started 3 rd grade,” stated John. “He surfs competitively and loves to skate, snowboard, free dive, play guitar, practice yoga with mom and is working towards getting his black belt in karate.”

Last year, Eli’s athletic abilities caught the attention of Fox 5 News

“WE WANTED THEM TO BE ABLE TO GROW UP WITH A BEACH/SURF LIFESTYLE. FOR US, IT REALLY IS THE BEST PLACE TO RAISE A YOUNG FAMILY.” where his skating and surfing was featured in a Neighborhood AllStars segment. “The kid’s only 8 and has achieved more and gets more press than mom and dad!” joked John.

Oliver – who is in kindergarten – “loves his brother and looks up to him so much,” John explained. “He wants to go to the skate park when Eli goes, and he just caught the surfing bug. He’s our artist in the family,” John added. “He loves to draw and paint, especially on the walls and sofa.”

Despite their busy careers, the Parks make sure to remain laidback. “I log in a lot of surf time with Eli and Oliver,” said John, “and whenever we get a chance we practice yoga together.” ¢

New Online Crime Reporting System

The City of Carlsbad Police Department just launched a new online crime reporting system.

Crimes that can be reported online are vandalism, petty theft, hit and run auto collisions, harassing phone calls, and lost property. To report a crime online, the crime must occur within Carlsbad city limits and there must be no suspect information or evidence. If there is suspect information or evidence, an officer will need to view the crime scene. The community is not required to report crime online. “Using the online crime reporting resource is a quick alternative for community members wanting to file certain simple crime reports,” said Police Records Supervisor Delphine Fisk. For more information about this online program contact her at delphine.fisk@carlsbadca.gov.

Local Student Recieves Health Care Scholarship Rebekah Chung, a local student and 92011 resident, recently won a scholarship to help her pursue her interests in the health care field. She was among twelve students who were awarded in the joint scholarship program by Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Foundation. Leonard Polster, a long-time supporter of both organizations, brought them together to form the scholarship program eleven years ago. The program provides opportunities to deserving young people while combating the shortage of health care workers.

Scholarships were awarded to rising first-year college students as well as to previous recipients continuing their college careers. Rebekah is currently attending her third year at San Diego State University (SDSU).

She will be entering SDSU’s nursing program next year.

Coastal Helix

Carlsbad’s new roundabout, located at Carlsbad Blvd. and State St., now has a 1,400-pound piece of artwork displayed for all to see. Entitled “Coastal Helix,” the art is the work of Bay Area artist Roger White Stoller, who was inspired by images of Carlsbad – the crab, heron, pelican, whale, and ocean waves – and wove them into a steel lacework that shoots upwards. “‘Coastal Helix’ is a modern sculpture that pays homage to the natural surroundings of the northern Carlsbad coastal region and creates a signature gateway to The Village,” said City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Manager Vincent Kitch. “Roger worked with the community to bring iconic imagery into the piece that reflected the values of our community as well as tying it to the natural surroundings.” The new sculpture is one of the goals Carlsbad has set in order to improve its coastal areas and make them more accessible and attractive to residents and visitors.

FitDiver was launched as a continuation of Gretchen’s dedication to improving the health and fitness of others through physical training and scuba diving.

When it comes to this new growth in her passion she said, “I am excited to share this milestone with my community.” Carlsbad specifically is an influence for Gretchen because it takes a few key elements and meshes for a beautiful blend of lifestyle. “Carlsbad is a place where business, recreation and relaxation can easily be combined for good health and prosperity – its beautiful coastal setting and climate offer opportunities for fitness, water sports and growing fresh food year-round.” Check out her website for additional information www.scubafit.com.

Green Dragon Tavern and Museum Creates a One-of-a-Kind Experience

he Green Dragon Tavern and Museum redefines unique – welcome to the museum, tavern, a New England inspired restaurant, coffeehouse, bookstore, and event space all under one roof. The business may be the new kid on the block in Carlsbad, but the concept is one drawn from history. Originally located in Boston, the Green Dragon Tavern was the home of American history when Paul Revere departed on his famous ride from its front doors and secret meetings took place inside to plan the Boston Tea Party.

Today, the owner and museum benefactor is an avid collector who is dedicated to sharing his collection of documents from the

times of the pilgrims to the Revolutionary War. Knowing people visit museums when it rains, which rarely happens in San Diego, “he decided to build a venue around his collection to encourage visits,” explained John Lek, Senior Vice President and General Manager.

“We know that not everyone has the time or resources to travel back East and immerse themselves in our history so we brought a small piece of that to Southern California for anyone who loves history, great food, or is searching for a new and unique venue to call their own.”

Unique is certainly true for this 22,000 square foot venue. Located directly off I-5 at the Palomar Exit, the historically themed building stands out amongst its neighbors.

The choice of location was an intentional one. “We selected the community of

28 • 92011Magazine.com • October | November 2014

Carlsbad for its diversity, impressive civic and entrepreneurial leadership, and familyoriented culture,” John stated.

The focus on community is also drawn from the Green Dragon’s roots. “Taverns and coffeehouses were the epicenter of community during those times and our goal is to be such a location for our local community,” acknowledged John. Additionally, the museum is partnering with local schools to coordinate field trips and guided tours.

Those seeking a delicious meal of East Coast favorites like Maine lobster, New England clam chowder, or Maryland Blue crab cakes will be impressed with Chef Greg Krol’s creations. The Green Dragon Tavern and Museum offers the right fit for every family member, whether it is a cup of coffee and workspace, a family Sunday brunch, or a lively tavern setting. “Grab a beverage before or after an amazing meal and tour our venue to reconnect with our nation’s history,” John suggested. 

THE MCCLELLANPALOMAR AIRPORT SHINES WITHIN THE

CARLSBAD COMMUNITY photos by Lauren Nygard photography

Q&A

with Olivier Brackett

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE MCCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT?

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THE NAME OF THE AIRPORT?

McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) started in Del Mar as a former Naval blimp base. When the I-5 was built, the federal government required that the county relocate the airport and the present site was selected – it was formerly used as the strawberry fields. McClellan-Palomar airport is one of eight airports operated by the County of San Diego, which include Gillespie Field and Ramona Airport – a Calfire base. It was opened on March 20, 1959.

On May 1, 1982, the County Board of Supervisors proclaimed the airport McClellan-Palomar Airport in honor of Gerald C. McClellan, who was instrumental in the incorporation of the City of Carlsbad and served on the city’s airport advisory committee and personnel commission. He was the past president and secretary of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. He was also active in educational affairs and served on the board of directors of Mira Costa College, held a PTA life membership, and served on various school committees.

Mr. McClellan also sponsored a language scholarship trophy at Carlsbad High School. He was active in his church, where he served as president of the church corporation and also taught Sunday school. Additionally, as a youth leader, Mr. McClellan sat on the Carlsbad Boy’s Club advisory committee and awarded club members with rides in his personal airplane. He also served as a San Luis Rey District Boy Scouts chairman, scout master, and committee member.

PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON YOUR STAFF. McClellan-Palomar Airport has seven on-site staff dedicated full-time to its operation. The county has additional staff at the Gillespie Field airports headquarters who support all eight county airports in areas such as real estate, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and other matters.

I am the airport manager. I served twenty years with the United States Marine Corps. My duties included air traffic control, tower manager, and FAA examiner for MCAS Camp Pendleton. Before assuming my current position, I served as a volunteer, the first security and safety coordinator for all eight county airports, and noise officer and assistant manager at CRQ. I have a BS in Professional Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I have worked for the county for thirteen years.

John Otto is the assistant airport manager. He served twenty years in the United States Navy in an aviation-related field. Before assuming his current position as assistant airport manager at McClellan-Palomar Airport, he also served as the noise officer and as assistant manager for Gillespie Field. John has a BS in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University and a Master’s in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. John has been with the county for six and a half years.

HOW MANY PILOTS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING AT THE AIRPORT? There are hundreds of pilots who use McClellan-Palomar Airport as a starting point or final destination for their flights locally, across the country, and around the globe.

THE AIRPORT IS IN THE MIDST OF VARIOUS RENOVATIONS. CAN YOU PROVIDE US WITH DETAILS ABOUT THIS MASTER PLAN? WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETED AND WHAT WILL BE SOME OF THE NEW ADDITIONS AND FEATURES? The Master Plan is intended to develop a framework for the future of McClellan-Palomar Airport within the context of local, regional, and national aviation system environments. The new twenty-year Master Plan (2015-2035) will identify and assess a range of development alternatives for meeting the airport’s forecast, facility, safety, and operational requirements in the next planning period. The Master Plan is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

WHAT TYPES OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED AT THE AIRPORT? Like other commercial airports there are many safety and security precautions at McClellan-Palomar Airport and staff are continuously briefed on proper safety and security precautions. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffs the terminal and provides security. Certain areas of the airport are designated off-limits to pedestrians and vehicles. The airport has on-site aircraft rescue and firefighting services to respond quickly to an emergency. In addition, we conduct regular emergency response and disaster drills with local first responders.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE LAYOUT OF THE AIRPORT? WHAT TYPES OF BUILDINGS/FACILITIES ARE ON-SITE? The airport has a single runway, hangars, aircraft maintenance and fueling facilities, office space, terminal buildings, a restaurant, and easily accessible, inexpensive parking. Most of the facilities are on the south side of the airport.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY AT THE AIRPORT LIKE FOR YOU? Upon arrival I receive a daily airport status brief from staff. During the day I manage the operation of the airport and supervise the activities of airport staff. I also conduct regular meetings with staff, airport stakeholders such as elected officials and the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee, and other outside agencies.

CAN YOU ELABORATE MORE ABOUT THE AREAS THE AIRPORT SERVICES? WHAT TYPES OF FLIGHTS TAKE OFF AND LAND AT THE MCCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT? The airport and the many businesses at the airport offer a variety of services ranging from flight training, aircraft charter and rental, aircraft maintenance and fueling, and a great restaurant. Additionally, many pilots participate in the Angel Flight program in which pilots volunteer their time, aircraft, and fuel to fly people to medical appointments to which they may not be able to afford the travel.

WHICH AIRLINES SCHEDULE FLIGHTS AT THIS AIRPORT? United Express currently serves our market with seven round trips a day to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

HAVE YOU HELD ANY EVENTS AT THE AIRPORT? The ariport celebrated its 50th anniversary on July 29, 2009. Also, The Collings Foundation flies WWII-era aircraft into the airport on an annual basis that typically include a B-24 Liberator – thousands of which were produced here in San Diego – a B-25 Mitchell bomber, and a P-51 Mustang long-range fighter credited with helping win WWII in the European Theatre by escorting long-range bombers to their targets and back to base. This event draws hundreds of visitors including scores of WWII veterans who are able to sit in and even fly in the same type of aircraft they operated during bombing missions over Europe some seven decades ago. Additionally, we routinely provide tours for schools and people of all ages.

HAVE ANY NOTABLE FIGURES OR CELEBRITIES VISITED THE AIRPORT? Can you keep a secret? I can too. There are a number of people who enjoy the anonymity of traveling by private aircraft.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPORT? The future of the airport is exciting and the Master Plan will provide the direction.

WHAT’S THE MOST EXCITING ASPECT ABOUT WORKING AT THE AIRPORT? The ability to serve the public in a dynamic environment and working every day with a great staff.

HOW DOES THE AIRPORT STAY CONNECTED TO ITS NEIGHBORS IN CARLSBAD? The airport stays connected to the community by its regularly scheduled public meetings – eight per year – dedicated to the master plan process, public presentations, and airport tours open the public.

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE THE AIRPORT IN FIVE WORDS OR LESS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Best kept secret in North County!

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR READERS? Using CRQ allows North County travelers to lower their carbon footprint when traveling by eliminating multiple vehicles on the road. Using McClellanPalomar Airport as starting or ending points greatly reduces the “hassle factor” because while CRQ has all of the same security requirements of any other commercial airport, it is on a smaller scale and therefore much quicker.

Also, inexpensive parking is near the new terminal, which is built in a sea-sky motif with shell-encrusted floors in sweeping conch shell patterns, overhead canopies that mimic sailboats, and floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of light and sea breezes. There are several outdoor areas, and even rocking chairs to allow our passengers and visitors the chance to relax.

The airport also has a customs office for travelers arriving from outside the U.S. McClellan-Palomar Airport generates tens of millions of dollars in personal income earned by the nearly 400 people employed at the airport, in business revenue generated by airport industries, and state and local tax revenues.

McClellan-Palomar Airport with its extensive facilities, new terminal, great restaurant, and convenience is something the entire community can be proud of. 

Fiesta del Barrio

THE CITY OF CARLSBAD UNITES THE COMMUNITY WITH A CULTURAL CELEBRATION

T

he City of Carlsbad, in partnership with the Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad Association, recently celebrated Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad at Pine Avenue Community Park. The fiesta strives to bring Carlsbad residents together to inform them about the cultural heritage of the Barrio, and also to preserve its importance. Hundreds of people were in attendance at the community event. Aztec and ballet folkloric dancers as well as mariachi and Latin bands performed. Highlights included an arts and crafts area, information booths, a classic car display, a community yoga area, a salute dedicated to the city’s local heroes, and tours of the Barrio Museum. An opening ceremony led by Mayor Matt Hall brought the community even closer as he spoke about all the local residents who have contributed to the overall well-being and beauty of the city.

The Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office continued to build excitement throughout the day by leading a creative effort for all those interested in participating. Artists of all abilities created hands-on artwork.

Artist Skye Walker painted a new mural at the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad on Oak Ave., and young artists from local high schools put their talents to use by painting utility boxes throughout the community. Proceeds from the fiesta will go towards community education projects and scholarships. The City would like to thank the Fiesta del Barrio Carlsbad Association for helping make this year’s celebration come to life. 

Heart KNITTING FROM THE

LOIS CHADDOCK USES HER TIME AND TALENT TO GIVE BACK TO THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY photo by Lauren Nygard Photography

2011 resident Lois Chaddock is a wife, mother, and volunteer. “At a young age, I was inspired by my mother and aunt to learn arts and crafts,” recalled Lois. Throughout her life, Lois has used her artistic abilities to give back to the community and, today, she is doing so in a big way. Lois is a member of Needlecrafters, a group associated with the Carlsbad Senior Center whose members hand-knit and crochet items to donate to others in need.

“A friend of mine urged me to join Needlecrafters with her and meet others who shared the same interests,” explained Lois.

“When the group’s leader ‘retired’ and moved away, I and two others stepped up to fill her shoes.” It was a natural role for Lois as she was passionate about the cause. “I have always been focused on making and donating items to Stitches From the Heart, a nonprofit charity, for distribution to hospitals here and across the country,” said Lois. “The joy comes with knowing those charity items are benefiting preemies, newborns, needy families, and our military,” Lois beamed.

Lois explained that many of the projects made by Needlecrafters are done so using yarn donated by people in the community. “The fun is in learning and teaching,” noted Lois. “The best results are the friendships made when helping each other and sharing patterns.”

Aside from knitting and crocheting, Lois spends her time volunteering for her church and acting as a docent for school programs at the Carlsbad Flower Fields. “In September I volunteer for ArtSplash – held to support art and music programs in our local schools,” she added.

Lois and her husband of fifty-five years have resided in Carlsbad for seventeen years.

“Carlsbad has the perfect climate for outdoor living and is located just thirty-five miles from our children, giving us convenience and privacy at the same time,” said Lois.

Some of her favorite activities around the community include walking and bird watching at the Batiquitos and San Elijo Lagoon, as well as kayaking on the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Lake Hodges. “I also attend Play Readers at the Dove Library,” shared Lois. “We regularly attend productions at the North Coast Repertory.” ¢

Catch Up. Keep Up. Get Ahead.

Mathnasium of Carlsbad Increases Students’ Math Skills and Confidence

by LYDIA COBB | photos by Leslie Walker

A

4th grader with D’s in most of her classes came to Mathnasium of Carlsbad this year. After several months of consistent individualized sessions, all her grades improved and she now has A’s in math. “The confidence she acquired by being able to conquer her math had spilled over onto all of her other school subjects,” revealed Paul Walker, Owner of Mathnasium of Carlsbad. “Mathnasium offers a unique path to helping students catch up, keep up, and get ahead in math.”

Mathnasium of Carlsbad uses the proprietary Mathnasium Method to help students in grades 2 through 12, and adult learners, to develop number sense, enabling them to understand all areas of math. Individualized learning helps instructors focus on the specific needs of each student. “Kids often come in feeling bad about their past experiences with math, but quickly have a 180-degree shift. They see that they no longer need to be confused by math,” added Paul. It is not unusual for students to increase their grades

by leaps – from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s – in a relatively short time.

Time-tested personal instruction, along with patience, and an encouraging environment, help struggling students to realize they can overcome what doesn’t make sense. Students can explain their reasoning and construct diagrams to work out math questions. Each instructor has completed up to forty hours of training in the Mathnasium Method.

While some instructors have advanced math degrees, what is more important is that the instructor possesses excellent communication skills and has a positive attitude so that they can transition a student’s frustration into an “Aha!” moment.

Owners Paul and Leslie Walker have lived in North County for more than twenty years. Carlsbad and San Marcos, which is also owned by the Walkers, are two of over 500 Mathnasium learning centers worldwide that positively impact children’s lives. The Carlsbad center will participate in the 4th Annual National TriMathlon in mid-October.

Mathnasium’s TriMathlon is an annual math

event held over one weekend joining all the centers. Elementary school kids demonstrate their mathematical skills in a festive atmosphere, and every child’s participation earns a donation for his and her local schools.

“At the end of the day we can reflect on the many lives that have been touched by our efforts. It is a good feeling,” added Leslie Walker. This math is easy: helping one student at a time adds up to many positive school and career path experiences. 

Celebrating Milestones CARLSBAD’S LITERACY PROGRAM TURNS 30

T

he Carlsbad City Library Literacy Services program, which offers free reading, writing, and computer skills training, is celebrating thirty years of service.

Today it has eighty-two active tutors and seventy-four matched volunteer tutor, or learner, pairs. “Around twenty years ago, computers were integrated into the curriculum of the literacy program. It adopted a core belief that computer skills were not an end in themselves, but instead were important reading and writing tools that were as essential as books, pens, and paper,” Community Outreach Supervisor Carrie Scott explained.

In 2008 the program moved into the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center. This February the program expanded the Learning Center’s hours.

Carlsbad Literacy Services has earned ongoing community support, including a seventeen-year partnership with Carlsbad High School to offer reading, writing, and study skills support to selected special-education students. Students earn class credit for the time they spend at the Learning Center.

The program continues to grow with new offerings like Playaway Bookpacks, a book with an audio player allowing the reader to listen to a book while reading it. Grants are also being received to expand technology use in the literacy program.

Additionally, the Summer Youth Literacy Program, in partnership

with the library’s Bilingual Services, will offer a literacy program parallel to the library’s summer reading program, pairing students in grades one through four and their parents with a volunteer tutor to improve the students’ reading level.

:::: HOME TIPS

Energy Saving Tips

for the Season

by TORI MORRISON

W

ith the kids back in school and the holidays right around the corner, it’s important to monitor your spending during these busy months. If you haven’t started, now’s the time to cut back on energy use within the home. Here are some easy tips to get you started.

Unplug, Unplug, Unplug Make sure you unplug devices when they are not being used. Be especially mindful of computers and laptops. According to the Residential Energy Services Network (RESN), even when these devices are turned off, they will still consume power when they are plugged in and can account for five to ten percent of your total household electricity bill.

Cover Your Windows Blinds, drapes, and window coverings can help reduce energy waste and keep your energy bill low. As the temperatures in October and November remain in the high seventies, close your blinds, curtains, and window coverings to keep the house cooler. According to RESN, your air conditioning will have to work up to thirty percent harder to cool your home otherwise.

Use the Right Bulb Replace standard bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). The bulbs give off the same amount of light, but are much more energy-efficient. Ensure that you are using the right size bulb for your light fixture.

Adjust Temperature Settings Maintaining a higher indoor temperature setting during summer and a lower indoor temperature setting during winter saves energy.

Keep the temperature comfortable by making adjustments to your thermostat before you get home.

Schedule a Home Energy Audit Reach out to a certified home energy auditor for a home energy audit. A home energy audit is an in-depth home examination done by an expert to find out where energy is being lost. The expert then assists the homeowner and offers possible solutions. 

OUR

TOWN Dive Into San Diego's History at Old Town

by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Sandé Lollis

O

ld Town, San Diego harks back to the roots of San Diego’s early days as a settlement. There’s loads of history and lots to see packed into a few blocks between the I-8 and I-5 freeway, including the historic parks and infamous Whaley House. For a more mobile experience, the Old Town Trolley Tours offer sightseeing of Old Town and beyond from the comfort of an old-school trolley.

The Old Town Historic Park appears to be straight off a Hollywood movie set. You can just picture the cowboys atop their horses and ladies with hoop skirts parading down the main way. Visit a traditional adobe house, La Casa de Estudillo, the First Brick Courthouse, the Seeley Stables where horses and carriages were once stored, and many restored homes of historic San Diego families. A short distance away is Presidio Park, with the Junipero Serra Museum and Bazaar Del Mundo specialty shops. Above Old Town is a plot of land known as Heritage Park. Take a step back in time in these restored Victorian homes where you can get a glimpse of what life was like in these regal estates. But when it comes to a particular house in Old Town, be careful of what you find!

The Whaley House – it’s a place that you dare your friends to step into. Are those footsteps you’re hearing?

Did you feel a chill? Known as one of the most haunted spots in America, the Whaley House is open for daytime and nighttime tours, and perhaps you’ll get a ghostly visitor or two. If you aren’t brave enough to step inside, you can walk around the outside and tour the gift shop.

DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS 2014 produced by SOHO (Save Our Heritage Organization) This Nov. 1 and 2, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) 2014 comes back to Old Town. The annual celebration honors those who have passed and attributes to San Diego's Mexican heritage with color, music and more. This is not to be confused with Halloween and is not meant to be scary or morbid.

Rather, families and friends come together to offer the spirits hospitality.

Over fifty public altars will be

46 • 92011Magazine.com • October | November 2014

peppered throughout Old Town, hosted by local businesses, museums and shops, with many of them depicting historical and recently passed figures important to them.

Visitors are encouraged to tour the altars to learn more about these figures and pay respects. A Tour of Altars Map will be available at www.sddayofthedead.org.

Other family activities will include live entertainment, skull face painting, paper flowers, masks and more. 

LCC Rubgy Develops Strong Tradition of Success LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY MAKES A NAME FOR ITSELF IN CARLSBAD

T

he current rugby program at La Costa Canyon High School (LCC) began with three LCC students’ vision in 2012. Tanner Taguchi, Sawyer Kilgore, and Patrick French helmed the school club, asking for administration assistance from the school and coaching support from the Coastal Dragons – a rugby club based in Encinitas. The team formed under a start-up/developmental team league comprised of twenty-three student athletes. Nick Duvall and Dave Cobb were two of the instrumental leaders in this start-up. The group only fielded a single team, however that one team went on to win third place in the league that year.

The next year brought more success for the team. With over thirty players, and up a division from the previous year, the rugby team was able to expand into both varsity and junior varsity. Varsity finished second in the league and junior varsity won the league season. As for this upcoming season, the team plans to bring in even more members, with the hopes of creating a girls team as well. Reuben Spilkin has joined the team as head coach, bringing in years of experience. Reuben was the former head coach for SDSU and the men’s Aztec Rugby Club. His goal is to bring new energy and talent to the team. The team hopes to continue this legacy this year and would like to thank all of their supporters. The LCC Rugby season begins in mid-November and continue through mid-February. To stay up-to-date on future matches visit www.lcchsrugby.com. 

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Are the San Diego and Carlsbad Real Estate Markets Cooling Off?

by AL REX, CPA & Realtor

As you can see in the graph of San Diego trends since 1989, increases have been good through the summer, but expect a softening or flattening to occur soon.

If you ever need more specific information on your neighborhood, or even your own street, just give me a call or send me an email. I have immediate access to current market information and would be happy to provide you with some free insight. 

S

an Diego county average home prices are up at all three levels (below $420k, $420 through $622k, and above $622k) over last year, according to the S&P/Case Shiller Home Price Index. Lower tier prices are up 17% over 2013, with mid/upper tiers seeing a 11% and 10% rise, respectively. While Case Shiller (one of the most recognized statistical real estate measurements in the U.S.) does not drill down to the individual city level, a review of our 92011 zip code shows a solid 7.3% average price increase at the middle tier level for South Carlsbad, with a median detached home price of $830,000.

Can we sustain this year over year growth?

Most experts feel that our rapid growth was a “little too much, too soon,” as we are already seeing a slowdown in the autumn market. Some analysts feel that a flattening of prices may be in line for 2015, and are hopeful that we do not experience a mini-correction, as the Federal Reserve considers an unwinding (gradual increase) of the mortgage interest rates. Of course, the Federal Reserve is very much aware of the current alignment between interest rates and the health of the housing market, and the so called unwinding is expected to be gradual. And while there is a mild concern over a possible drop in home values, most analysts feel that a flattening in 2015 is more probable.

Making Excellence a Common Practice!

Diligently serving Carlsbad with a focus on providing a Preeminent Luxury Service Brokerage since 2009

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!
