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!

Downsizing…
F
Derrick Breaux Publisher
or the past six years, my family and I have lived in the same house. This might not sound like anything out of the ordinary. In fact, it may sound quite normal. However, after taking out a notepad and spending some time putting the pencil to the paper, I came to the realization of a few things. For starters, this was the 23rd house that I have called home. With all of the moving around you would think that I was raised in a military family, but most of the moves were actually the product of my parents climbing the corporate ladder over the years. After further review, I calculated that this was the longest that I have ever lived in one house. In terms of square footage, it is also the largest house that I have ever called home. Over the years, we have been blessed with a growing family and plenty of visitors – both short-term and long-term. Before my mother passed away in 2010, she had a room at our house. For several years when my brother was touring the world with his rock band, he also had a room to come home to for short stays. Our kids referred to it as Tyler’s room even though he only used it a couple months a year. With our daughter recently moving out (well, sort of) and living in the dorms this year, my wife and I started discussing the possibility of downsizing. We recently pulled the trigger and made the move to my 24th house – a smaller home. Still having our two little kiddos at home, we weren’t brave enough to downsize in number of bedrooms, but we reduced our square footage by nearly 40% with this move. I’m still trying to figure out if reducing our square footage is the same thing as reducing our carbon footprint. Probably not! Preparing for any move can be a daunting task. Preparing for a move to a smaller house was downright overwhelming and consuming. I am amazed at how much “stuff” our family has accumulated over the past decade. We have spent the better part of a month making trips to the Salvation Army and the Goodwill donation centers. I’m on a first name basis with a couple of the kind employees that work there. My wife and I have decided to use this move as a family project – I’ll stop short of calling it a learning experience because that gives it more credit than necessary. The word “purge” has become a common conversational theme with our kids. Although they don’t like parting ways with the toys that they haven’t touched in years – but somehow fall in love with all over again when they find them tucked away in a closet or box – they are somewhat satisfied knowing that the unused toys are being donated, and children that may not have as many toys will get to play with them. We reinforce this with our kids each time we visit the donation centers, and I personally feel a certain sense of “parental” accomplishment in doing so. Even though we aren’t quite finished with our moving and purging at the time that I am writing this, it sure does feel great to know that we are entering into the New Year a lot lighter than before. It feels good to get rid of some excess and simplify things. All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

N
oah Martin, a junior at Carlsbad High School (CHS), recently led his varsity water polo team to victory at the CIF Division 1 final championship game against La Costa Canyon High School (LCCHS). By halftime the CHS team was behind, but after making six more goals, they achieved victory with a final score of 11 to 8. Noah made 7 of those 11 goals, but he modestly proclaimed, “I became the lead scorer due to the support of my great teammates. They’re like brothers to me, even if that sounds like a cliché.” As the lead scorer for the whole season, Noah is something of a water polo legend at CHS. He was one of only two starting freshmen on the school’s JV water polo team, and by the time he was a sophomore, Noah made the varsity team and helped his teammates win the CIF that year as well. Ever humble, Noah emphasized that although his team's most recent CIF win is memorable, it’s not the only

experience that defines his overall success at CHS. He explained, “There are too many memorable moments for just one to come to mind. I try to find the little exciting things in each day.” Noah has a wide range of interests besides water polo, including swim and improv club. With a 4.0 GPA, Noah stated, “My academic friends are surprised to find out I’m an athlete, and my athletic friends are surprised to know that I'm academically strong.” His favorite subjects include biology and science, and he eventually wants to get a degree in either genetics, biotechnology, or field ecology. He admitted, “I'm naturally curious and love learning how things work and why, from an atomic and cellular level to fundamental physical forces.” When he has some free time, Noah enjoys participating in all oceanic activities, including surfing, scuba diving, and spearfishing. He also cherishes being with his family, whom he appreciates immensely. Noah gushed, “I have an amazing mother who takes great care of me, and my dad inspires me every day, giving me the love and guidance I need. He even created a website about me for college recruiters at www.noahmartinwaterpolo.com. Whatever I do, I strive to make my parents proud.” It looks like he has succeeded! ¢

5 restau ran certific t gift ate!
Name of Chef: Traci Sally Family: Boyfriend – Brian Community: Seascape Hobbies/Interests: Experimenting in the kitchen, painting, designing, growing my Etsy store, and spending hours at the beach. Favorite Local Activities: Hiking Batiquitos Lagoon Trail, morning walks at Beacon’s, and zoning out in the Self Realization Meditation Garden by Swami’s, and soon to be paddle boarding on our newest board! About the Recipe: This recipe was a hybrid creation of mine trying to replicate a healthier version of fried rice combined with my favorite Asian flavors. The term umami means “pleasant savory taste” in Japanese which perfectly describes this dish. It usually disappears quickly so making a double batch isn’t a bad idea. The ingredients are easily interchangeable to suit different taste preferences or diets. About the Chef: I moved here from Philadelphia over a year ago to check living by the ocean off of my bucket list. I currently work fulltime as a graphic designer at ZCode Media, and by night I come up with new designs for invitations, stationery, and my line of custom printables which will be appearing in local boutiques in the next year. When I’m not sitting in front of a computer, I’m painting or buried in the pages of my sketchbooks planning my next project. I’m blessed to be able to do what I love for a living and share my art with others.

he usual biker stereotype is that of a rebellious, anti-establishment individual. While some elements of that stereotype may exist, the truth is that bikers can be extremely giving. To help promote that reality, this 92011 resident, Steve Crouch, developed a nonprofit organization called American Road Hero. Steve explained, “It is to honor all the men and women who give up their time to do charitable work in the biker community.” It was the annual May Ride event – in which 4,000 people ride and donate funds towards San Diego armed forces and their families – that motivated Steve to spotlight his fellow charitable bikers, namely the May Ride co-founder, radio personality Clint August. Steve admitted, “I thought it was time to honor Clint
for what he does for his community, so I went to our local trophy guy and had him make me an award to present to Clint.” That’s when the idea to continue honoring noble bikers was born. Raised in Edina, MN, Steve tried out Fergus Falls Junior College, but decided it wasn't for him and was then cut off financially from his parents. Forced to come up with his own path in life, Steve said, “I started hitchhiking across the western USA. That was where it all began.” Since then Steve has enjoyed many traveling adventures on his motorcycle. In the last three years alone, Steve has logged over 65,000 miles! He commented, “You name it and I rode there if it is west of the Mississippi. When I'm running down the road, I am at total peace with the world. I’m in the moment and I am free.”

Currently, Steve is trying to establish his own reality television show so that he may ultimately become “the information highway for people who want to ride to beautiful places. I want to be the Huell Howser of bikers,” Steve admitted. When he isn’t on the open road, Steve loves deep sea fishing on the open sea, and he revealed, “I've caught and released over 250 marlin – some were up to 600 pounds!” As an avid motorcyclist who frequently rides solo, Steve is grateful for the generosity of the biker community. He exclaimed, “It's an amazing brotherhood! I have so many wonderful memories, thanks to the incredible camaraderie amongst bikers. Every weekend I am doing some kind of motorcycle ride for charity.” ¢
Carlsbad Library Receives Generous Gift TWO MILLION DOLLARS DONATED TO CARLSBAD LIBRARY & ARTS FOUNDATION
T
he City of Carlsbad recently announced a two million dollar donation that was made to the Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation. The donation from the Benson Family Trust will go to support the purchase of books, e-books, and other popular library materials as well as afterschool and literacy-based programs for all ages, electronic resources, and educational software in the three city libraries as well as at the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center. The Carlsbad Library & Arts Foundation (CLAF) is a nonprofit organization with the goal of managing funds to support the City of Carlsbad’s library and cultural art facilities and programs. Russell and Betty Benson were Carlsbad residents who donated funds to nearly 20 local nonprofits through their trust. Betty was an elementary school teacher and Russell was a math professor at CSU Fullerton. Their longtime friend and neighbor Molly Parsons explained the couple’s love of reading, “[Betty] always had a stack of books and loved trading books with her friends. She and Russell shared a love of reading.” When asked about the donation Library & Cultural Arts Director Heather Pizzuto said, “This donation is a wonderful example
of the significant role libraries have in enriching the lives of our community members. The fact that the Bensons chose to recognize the importance of libraries through this donation is meaningful beyond words.

THREE IS COMPANY, EIGHT IS A PARTY! THE MIKEL-NARDI FAMILY IS SPLENDID IN SAN PACIFICO by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Lauren Nygard Photography
T
he Mikel-Nardi family moved to California in 2000. They fell in love with the San Pacifico community because it was close to the beach, central to everything, and full of wonderful friends to be had. However, soon their first home there was getting too small. The family was still growing, and growing, and growing. Dana Mikel and Jim Nardi have six children, five of whom are adopted – one from Russia and four from Ethiopia. That’s not the only reason more space was needed. They also foster animals. Lots and lots of animals. Their love for San Pacifico kept them in the neighborhood, and they’ve been flourishing in Vistamar and now San Sebastian. The six kids are very accomplished and very busy. Sam is in 10th grade at Carlsbad Seaside Academy (CSA), where the independent curriculum helps him maintain an intense training schedule as a Level 9 competitive gymnast. Aman is a freshman at CSA and plays competitive soccer at the elite level for Nott’s Forrest FC. He also runs Varsity Cross Country for Sage Creek – the freshman team was ranked fifth in the nation! Kidest is excelling in 7th grade at Aviara Oaks Middle School (AOMS), and will run track in the spring. Tess, also an AOMS 7th grader, swims for North County

Aquatics and is learning to play the guitar and sing. “She has an amazing voice,” said Dana. Citina goes to Pacific Rim Elementary and plays competitive soccer at the premier level for Carlsbad United FC. Noah is on the Autism spectrum, and “keeps the family smiling with his awesome sense of humor, every day,” Dana laughed. The family helped to start and continues to volunteer for the rescue group Animal Rescue Resource Foundation (ARRF). “We have fostered and placed over 200 dogs and puppies over the past 15 years,” Dana explained. Because a private residence is a much calmer place for puppies to live while they are growing and preparing for a forever home, litters of neonatal puppies are often running around the Mikel-Nardi home. Although it seems there would never be time for anything else, “Our house is known as the place to drop in if you want to socialize or need a beer – Jim has an in-depth knowledge of craft beer,” Dana shared. “Most neighbors know ‘if the lights are on, our house is open,’ and even a Monday night might end up a party.” ¢

Carlsbad Schools Encourage Literacy CYRM PROGRAM TEACHES RECREATIONAL, INTERACTIVE READING
A
viara Oaks Middle School (AOMS) and Aviara Oaks Elementary School (AOES) libraries are offering students the chance to participate in the California Young Reader Medal (CYRM) program through their English Language Arts classes. Students who wish to participate can sign up, read three books in their chosen category, and then complete a quiz for each book before they vote on their favorite in the category. The school’s voting results will be sent to a state level committee in early April and statewide CYRM awards will be announced in May. The CYRM program encourages students to read for fun and to be engaged in what they are reading, in addition to introducing the students to a wide variety of book genres and formats. Students can also recommend their favorite books to their teachers or librarians by April 1 for consideration as a nominee in the next year’s program. To be considered for nomination, each book must be an original work of fiction published within the last four years by a living author. It generally takes two years from the time of nomination by students to the CYRM medal presentation to winning authors and illustrators. Since its inception in 1974, millions of California children have nominated, read, and voted for the winners of the California Young Reader Medal. For more information visit www.aoms.schoolloop.com.

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Chronicle of BGCC History Unveiled
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC) recently announced the publication of their book Over 75,000 Served: A Chronicle of Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad which details the organization’s rich history from its inception in 1952. Published as a hardbound coffee table book, the chronicle contains firsthand accounts and historical photos. The book was commissioned by Lifetime Honorary Board Member Greg Nelson, Sr., with both production and printing costs covered by Greg and Executive Committee Board Member Chuck Smith. Greg said, “As someone who benefited from the club initially as a young member, then served as an employee in several capacities, I have been intimately familiar with this safe haven for kids for decades. Because I strongly believe in this quintessentially Carlsbad organization, I wanted to make sure that its history, much of which is intertwined with the history of Carlsbad, would not be lost.” For more information visit www.bgcarlsbad.org.
Habitat Management Plan Turns 10
Carlsbad recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Habitat Management Plan, which has set aside almost 6,000 acres of natural open space since its establishment in 2004. The plan allows for the protection of endangered or threatened plants and animals and the enjoyment of rich nature preserves for the city’s residents. Carlsbad Senior Planner Mike Grim said, “Carlsbad has a rich natural environment and is home to three lagoons, coastal sage scrub, oak woodlands, and other types of natural open space. The Habitat Management Plan is one reason Carlsbad is recognized as having some of the highest standards for open space in the entire region. [It is] a comprehensive biological approach to preserving natural land and creates a natural network where species can thrive.” Carlsbad remains the only city in North County San Diego with an approved habitat management plan.
City Annouces Walk + Bike Carlsbad
The City of Carlsbad recently announced its partnership with Circulate San Diego and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition for the launch of Walk + Bike Carlsbad. The year-long campaign, funded by a grant from the San Diego Association of Governments, will seek to encourage more walking and biking throughout the city. When asked about the campaign, City of Carlsbad Associate Planner Pam Drew said, “Carlsbad is a perfect place for a campaign like Walk + Bike. With new bike racks, bike lanes, and lighting, it is easier than ever to walk and bike in Carlsbad. [The campaign] fits right in with the community’s values around healthy lifestyles, connectivity, sustainability, and economic vitality.” The effort will include events, school outreach programs, business promotions, and other activities throughout the year.

Girl Scout Season is Here
Our friendly neighborhood Girl Scouts are gladly helping residents stock up on America’s iconic confection – Girl Scout cookies! Offerings include two brand new varieties – Rah-Rah Raisins and gluten-free Toffee-tastics – and returning favorites Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, and Tagalongs. All proceeds from each $5 box stay local to help fund Girl Scout activities and programs. For example, the members of Carlsbad-Carmel Valley Girl Scout Junior Troop 3237 funded an overnight adventure at the Living Coast Discovery Center where they learned about protecting endangered species and the environment. Under the guidance of troop leaders Denise Scott and Debbie Rider, the girls also used cookie earnings for community service projects. Carlsbad is home to more than 1,400 Girl Scout members. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, future business leaders like the girls of Troop 3237 gain key skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. They also help serve the military by inviting customers to donate cookies to Operation Thin Mint. For more information visit www.sdgirlscouts.org.

New Lights for Stagecoach Park
The nearly 30-year-old sports lighting at Stagecoach Community Park is being replaced with new energy-efficient light bulbs that will last longer, reduce energy costs, and improve lighting conditions. The old lighting required frequent maintenance and had a high electricity demand, so this new development will also be an environmentally friendly move. “We expect these lights to reduce the associated energy costs at these parks by up to 50 percent and provide an enhanced level of lighting for players and others using the fields,” said City of Carlsbad Parks Superintendent Kyle Lancaster. “We anticipate recovering the cost of the lighting retrofit over the useful life of the fixtures, which we expect to last for at least 20 years.” The new lighting will bring the athletic fields up to the same level as award-winning Alga Norte Community Park, which boasts the most efficient field lighting available.

Juried Biennial Exhibition Displays Local Art
HeyLets, a new social mobile app determined to help people share experiences without feeling social pressure to look cool or impress their friends, recently polled 2,500 Americans to rate the number of posts they typically make on potentially self-promotional topics on social media sites. The study found that California frequently engaged in self-promotion, with 77% of people posting about job promotions, exciting events, memorable experiences, and more, winning the title “most braggadocious” U.S. state. California was followed by Washington, Nevada, Maryland, and then New Hampshire. Utah received recognition as the “most humble” U.S. state, with Oregon, South Carolina, and Kansas close behind. HeyLets also asked respondents about the top five most popular topics they discuss on social media sites. These included going on a special trip, attending a memorable event, meeting a noteworthy person, and sharing something nice your significant other did. For more details on the study visit www.heylets.com.
Local Carlsbad artists Jacob Lenc, Ana Phelps, and Fritzie Urquhart will have their artwork on display at the 2014 Juried Biennial Exhibition presented by the City of Carlsbad’s William D.

Voices for Children, a local nonprofit working to transform the lives of abused children, is looking for volunteers to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). A CASA is a trained volunteer matched with a child in the foster care system – the CASA gets to know the child, researches their particular situation, and advocates on the child’s behalf in court. CASAs often become one of the only stable adult presences in the foster children’s lives and form lifelong bonds. Anyone with a willingness to help can become a CASA as long as they’re over 21 and have 10 to 15 hours per month to devote to the child. Voices for Children provides training and a Juvenile Court judge authorizes the CASA to access the child’s records. Voices for Children is particularly seeking men and Spanish speakers to volunteer.

Yoo and the SKY Facial Plastic Surgery team are committed to their goal of “delighting the patient,” emphasizing the importance of individualized attention and a relationship of trust between patient and doctor. “As a family-owned and operated practice, we are dedicated to providing you with impeccable service from start to finish,” shared Dr. Yoo. “From the moment you step through the door, you’ll have the undivided attention of a small team of professionals who are devoted to making you feel perfectly at home.” The boutique medical practice specializes in skincare, injectables, the laser facelift and cosmetic surgery for the face and neck. Located in 4S Ranch between Rancho Santa Fe and Rancho Bernardo, SKY feels more like a spa than a clinic, and the SKY Team takes the time to make sure patients are relaxed and comfortable. “We never rush through appointments.

Board-certified in both facial plastic surgery and head and neck surgery, Dr. Yoo is well-equipped to provide the quality of care and results his patients are looking for. He is an active member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and

has taught advanced techniques to other surgeons at national meetings. He also completed a prestigious fellowship at Stanford University and has been published in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Yoo uses his expertise to help each patient achieve a natural look, rather than applying generalized techniques that result in an “overdone” appearance. “I believe that every face and personality is unique. I work closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan uniquely customized to their skin type, facial structure, and aesthetic desires,” related Dr. Yoo. “I love helping our patients feel more confident in their everyday lives.” For surgery patients, the practice is home to a fully accredited onsite surgery center. “We are proud to offer the same calming, spalike environment from consultation all the way through to the surgery, with the same practices and staff experience as a hospital,” explained Dr. Yoo. Above all, Dr. Yoo values the relationship of trust he shares with all of his patients. That relationship begins with the first consultation. All cosmetic consultations are free of charge, giving patients the opportunity to meet with Dr. Yoo and get his recommendations based on their unique features and desires. It’s the first step towards a rejuvenated, natural-looking new look.

Q&A with Jeff Schafer Carlsbad Rotary Club President
For the benefit of those who are not aware, what specifically is a Rotary Club? Locally, a Rotary Club brings together leaders who step forward to take on some of the toughest challenges in their communities. Internationally, a Rotary Club is a service association of businesses and professional leaders united worldwide who conduct humanitarian projects, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and work toward world understanding and peace.
Can you tell us about the history behind the Carlsbad Rotary Club? Who were its founding members? The Rotary Club of Carlsbad was started in 1939 by a handful of local business and professional men just as World War II was breaking out in Europe. The first club president was Samuel D. Fraser, a manager with the Carlsbad Mutual Water Co. who previously had been a member and president of the Oceanside Rotary Club. The club started with 21 charter members and board members consisting of local business owners such as William Hogg, a local avocado grower who lived on Highland Street, Kenneth A. Keveren, Managing Editor of the BladeTribune newspaper, Glenn F. Lewis, Owner of the Bauer Lumber Co., and Oliver Morris, Manager of the California Carlsbad Hotel, among others. During those early years, club attendance was spotty in part because of the escalating war, but the club persevered largely due to the dedication and persistence of its founding members.
What types of activities is the Rotary Club involved with? Can you elaborate on some of the projects you have worked on in the past? There are five “Avenues of Service” in Rotary: club, youth, community, international, and vocational. Within those, there are six areas of focus: peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development. In the 1950s, the club became involved in the city’s annual Spring Festival, a popular event that later would evolve into the Carlsbad Village Street Faire, now the largest single-day street fair in the country. Until the late 1980s, nearly all of the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s service activities were primarily local. More recently, the Rotary Club of Carlsbad celebrated its 75th anniversary in September 2014 with an impressive list of triumphs. Membership includes the mayor of Carlsbad, a city council member, the city treasurer, a famous POW
28 • 92011Magazine.com • February 2015 | March 2015
from the Vietnam War, and a retired Marine Corps General who has advised President Obama. The club has raised thousands of dollars for various Rotary and charitable projects, including the Smiles Project, which provides corrective surgery to children in Mexico born with cleft palates, schools for orphan children in South Africa, Brother Benno’s in Oceanside which provides food for the homeless, the La Posada de Guadalupe men’s shelter, and Rotary International’s fight to eradicate polio by 2018. The latter cause is near and dear to the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s heart, as one member is himself a polio survivor.
Which areas of San Diego do you work with? Our club works with many areas within San Diego County and Northern Mexico, but we primarily service the local North San Diego County area.
Do you hold fundraisers throughout the year? Do you have any fundraisers you would like our readers to be aware of? Yes! Our club collaborates with the Hi-Noon Rotary Club in Carlsbad to put on the annual Oktoberfest in Holiday Park, occurring on the first Saturday of every October. Our club also hosts a beer garden at the Spring and Fall Faires in Carlsbad.
What is your role within the club? What are you responsible for? I am the current president for a term which runs from July 1 through June 30. My role is to be the leader of the club, run weekly meetings, communicate service opportunities, promote engagement in Rotary, and more.
How many members does your current club have? Our club currently has about 64 members but we are adding new members every year.
Please tell us about how someone can go about becoming a Rotarian club member. What can new club members expect when joining? Membership is gained by recommendation of an active member. If you have interest in knowing more or would like to visit a meeting please contact us at the Carlsbad Rotary Club by visiting our website or Facebook page.
Please tell us how one can become a sponsor of the club. Anyone can donate money to our club foundation, which is tax deductible. Money given to the foundation generates interest which is used to pay for college scholarships. Interested persons may also decide to sponsor our club in the way of volunteering at some of our service projects or fundraisers.
What mission does the club hold true? Our main mission has been community service and youth service. We are involved with many local projects for service and youth.
What type of work do you do within the community of Carlsbad? To name just one, our club supports La Posada de Guadalupe shelter in Carlsbad. La Posada is the only shelter in San Diego’s North County region that provides emergency services to both day laborers and the general homeless population. La Posada is well positioned to help homeless men reintegrate back into society as contributing and productive members of our community. There are many other community service events our club does including Oktoberfest, Spring and Fall Faire beer gardens, the Christmas tree lighting event in downtown Carlsbad, and much more.
Are there any exciting new projects, developments, or programs coming to the club? Always! One of the next really big community service opportunities is on April 16. It is called Rotarians at Work Day. This event happens the last Saturday in April each year. The tradition started in 2006 as
a joint effort between two Rotary districts in the United States and Mexico, and it continues to grow every year. Rotary Clubs around the world identify a hands-on project that all members can participate in to help their local community. The day is a great way to revitalize your club, bring in new members, and generate publicity for Rotary.
What are your short-term and long-term goals for the club? My goals are to keep increasing membership and providing worthwhile opportunities for those new members to contribute their time and talents.
Can you tell us about the Rotarian of the Year award? What type of criteria do you refer to when choosing the next Rotarian of the Year? The Rotarian of the Year award is given out by the club president at the end of term to recognize a person who the president feels has been best exemplifying the spirit and ideals of Rotary, as well as being very involved in club meetings and events.
What’s the most exciting aspect of being a Rotarian? The most exciting aspect is getting to meet other like-minded community and business leaders.
Can you tell us where and when your meetings are held? Our meetings are held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Carlsbad every Thursday evening beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary was founded in 1983 by the work of members of two existing clubs – Carlsbad Rotary and El Camino Real Rotary in Oceanside. Hi-Noon’s founding members were Manuel Castorena, a former mayor of the City of Carlsbad, and 35 other Carlsbad residents.
What types of activities is the Rotary Club involved with? Can you elaborate on some of the projects you have worked on in the past? Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary activities and fundraisers throughout the year include holding Oktoberfest in partnership with Carlsbad Rotary Club, the “Teens and Marines” Golf Tournament, two book fairs a year at Jefferson Elementary entitled Raising Readers, and an adopt-a-family program in partnership with Carlsbad Christmas Bureau which works to “adopt” 450 less fortunate families every year to provide gifts and food for the holiday season. Programs for youth involvement include Interact Club, a Rotary-equivalent club at Carlsbad High School (CHS) now serving over 70 CHS students. Other youth involvement programs include the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), Avid Conference, Youth Exchange, and of course, the Rotary Cup – presented to the winning team at the CHS and La Costa Canyon High School (LCCHS) football game each year. Some of our international work includes building homes in Tijuana, MX for families in need, purchasing water sanitation materials for villages in Belize as well as providing computers and generators for students there, and purchasing goats for families living in poverty in India so they may sell the milk and develop a viable income stream.
Can you tell me more about Rotarians at Work? What does this entail for your members? Each year every club member helps in a national “all hands on deck” campaign to provide community service. In the past members have built and cleaned trails, painted, and done physical labor all over the City of Carlsbad. Other hands-on projects are accomplished throughout the year on an as-needed basis and are an integral part of Rotary.

Which areas of San Diego do you work with? Hi-Noon Rotary focuses primarily on Carlsbad with some outreach to North County and San Diego in general through community related fundraising and work for local students, citizens, and nonprofits. Internationally, each year may differ based on the worldwide need, the interests of the membership, and the commitment to follow through. All Rotarians participate financially in the eradication of polio, with many also venturing each year into countries to immunize the children.
What is your role within the club? What are you responsible for? As president, I am responsible for leading our members for the fiscal year July 1 through June 30. The club runs and works with the help of every member, so the main goal of the president is to coordinate the efforts of our members and provide communication to all about the many goings on within the club. Setting specific goals and focusing on specific projects during the year is important. Planning and running the weekly meetings is also a big part of the president’s role.
How many members does your current club have? Hi-Noon Rotary is now 91 members strong, and we invite others interested in joining us to visit our club.
Please tell us about how someone can go about becoming a Rotarian club member. What can new club members expect when joining? Come to lunch and see what we do. Visit our website at www.carlsbadhinoonrotary.org as it contains all the details of membership. You can also check out the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Facebook page or call a member – if you live in Carlsbad, you probably already know someone in the club. New members can expect to be welcomed, to be valued for their ideas and efforts, and to be engaged in the club’s activities – both through service and the club’s own social events.
Please tell us how one can become a sponsor of the club. Each of our fundraisers is sponsored by a variety of corporations, businesses, and individuals. All receive visibility on event materials and signage at the event itself. Sponsorship ranges from $100 all the way up to $10,000. Call 760-500-5400 for more information about sponsorships.
What mission does the club hold true? Each Rotary club and each Rotarian, worldwide, adheres to the “Four-Way Test” of the things we think, say, or do: is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships, and will it be beneficial to all concerned? Rotary is a service club and Rotarians believe in “Service Above Self.”
Can you tell us about the Rotarian of the Year award? What type of criteria do you refer to when choosing the next Rotarian of the Year?
Are there any exciting new projects, developments, or programs coming to the club? Brew Fest was completed in October of last year for the first time and Rotarians Helping Seniors is a new hands-on program receiving wild acclaim from the seniors involved. Also, this year the club instituted the first annual “Jim Smith Award for Community Leadership” – of which Jim Smith was the first recipient. The award was organized by past presidents of the club to honor the 96-year-old member and community leader Jim Smith. It will be reviewed each year by the past presidents for a worthy honoree.
What are your short-term and long-term goals for the club? One of our short-term goals is to raise enough money or find a donor for a moving truck for Solutions for Change, a service organization that does great work with homeless families in North County. Long-term goals are to keep making Rotary fun and rewarding, to add new, quality members, and to do more good in our community.
The Rotarian of the Year award is a selection and presentation made by the club president each year to a Rotarian in the club who has worked for the club and the community to an exemplary level.
What’s the most exciting aspect of being a Rotarian? The friendships developed and positive work involved in one’s community and the impact the worldwide membership has on making a difference. Also, the ability to “make up” Rotary meetings at clubs around the world which affords a wonderful opportunity to meet locals and have something immediately in common is a major plus.
Can you tell us where and when your meetings are held? Our club meets at noon every Monday (except federal holidays) at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. Each meeting includes lunch, club activities, and a keynote speaker.

New Sign Shines in Carlsbad
LOCALS GATHER FOR LIGHTING AND DEDICATION CEREMONY Photos provided by City of Carlsbad
A
special dedication and lighting ceremony was recently held to commemorate the first ever lighting of the new Carlsbad archway sign, which was modeled after a similar sign from the 1930s. Crowds of local Carlsbad residents attended the historic dedication ceremony, including Mayor Matt Hall, City Manager Steve Sarkozy, Councilmembers Mark Packard, Michael Schumacher, and Lorraine Wood, as well as representatives from Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, and board trustees from the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD). Highlights of the dedication event included speeches about the history of Carlsbad and the role its business community has played in the City’s success. The Carlsbad High School (CHS) drumline was also present, along with volunteers from Kids for Peace, who helped pass out note cards and pens for attendees to contribute messages to a special time capsule which was put together to capture the night’s historic moment. The time capsule will be opened in 25 years. With its design and construction managed by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and the design, fabrication, and installation funded by TaylorMade Golf, the sign was donated to the City upon its completion. When asked about the sign, past chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Carlton Lund said, “This is a historic day for Carlsbad. It’s a wonderful tribute to our past and the important role business has played in making Carlsbad the extraordinary place it is today.”

CATHY GOEDKEN COMMITS TO CARING FOR ABANDONED AND ABUSED HORSES by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Lauren Nygard Photography
I
t is the daily work of many hands that can make the biggest impact. For 92011 resident Cathy Goedken that means never missing her morning shift at Laughing Pony Rescue. A volunteer since 2013, Cathy helps care for the sick, abandoned, and abused horses at Laughing Pony Rescue in Rancho Santa Fe. “Whether it’s rehabilitating a sick horse or working to earn the trust of an abused pony, it is all very rewarding,” Cathy shared. Cathy began volunteering at Laughing Pony after her youngest son graduated from the elementary school where she had been volunteering. A lifelong passion for horses made the volunteer position a perfect fit. Growing up in La Cañada Flintridge, Cathy began riding at the age of three and got her first pony at eight years old. She participated in Pony Club and showed across Southern California until high school. Cathy continues to ride at Haven Farms in Olivenhain a couple days a week. Today, she balances her volunteer time with biking, hiking, walking her dog, and most importantly, attending her sons’ basketball and volleyball games. Cathy and Bob’s three sons, Mitch, Jack, and Stephen, have been playing sports in North County San Diego most of their lives. “Needless to say, I spend a lot of time cheering on my boys in all of their sports!” Cathy exclaimed. Cathy cherishes her volunteer work at Laughing Pony Rescue. With 14 horses to care for, there is no shortage of work to be done. The organization can always use extra helping hands and is especially appreciative of financial contributions. For Cathy, the time she spends volunteering is just as much about giving as it is receiving. “I love spending my free time around horses. They are such beautiful animals, and they have added so much to my life,” Cathy acknowledged. ¢

Tips for
Greening Your Spring
Cleaning by TORI MORRISON
Y
ou stepped into 2015 with a few resolutions – most likely including the promise to clean your house for spring. Start off fresh this year by making a conscious decision to invest yourself into green spring cleaning. It’s much more environmentally friendly and safer for you and your loved ones. Here’s a list of eight ways you can reduce waste, use fewer toxic chemicals, and create a healthier living environment all year long. So put on those microfiber gloves and let’s get that house squeaky clean and green!
1. Organize, Reduce, and Recycle The best way to start your spring cleaning is by organizing and getting rid of the excess clutter in the house. Be sure to donate or recycle used clothing, books, toys, kitchen supplies, and more to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Recycle anything you cannot donate, making sure that the items are recyclable first. 2. Clean Naturally Swap out cleaning products that contain chemicals with a natural alternative. Vinegar can be used to disinfect, eliminate odors, and even get rid of stains. Baking soda can be combined with water and used to clean surfaces, and lemon juice can be mixed with salt to form a paste that will clean brass, copper, or stainless-steel surfaces or fixtures. 3. Reduce Waste Instead of wasting an entire roll of paper towels wiping down rooms, aim for a no-waste clean by using microfiber cloths, sponges, or reusable mops. 4. Hot Water Away You’d be amazed at how much cleaning you can do with just water.
36 • 92011Magazine.com • February 2015 | March 2015
Boiling water can be used to clean the tub, keep drains clear, and even get rid of stains. 5. Save Energy Get rid of the clutter on the top of your refrigerator. Appliances, cereal boxes, and kitchen utensils actually prevent heat from venting properly, and this causes the appliance to waste more energy. 6. Use Natural Air Fresheners Avoid synthetic air fresheners. Investing in house plants is a great way to improve the quality of air inside a home. Seek out natural air fresheners with lilacs or lemons. 7. Hang Up Your Clothes Instead of tossing your damp clothes into the dryer, hang them outside on the line. Line-drying uses no energy (except for a little work on your part) and leaves clothes smelling fresh. 8. Welcome Fresh Air Cycle out stale air by opening your windows and letting the fresh air indoors. There’s nothing like some fresh air during springtime.
BGCC Gets a Visitor CARLSBAD RESIDENT AND DISNEY STAR FRANCESCA CAPALDI VISITS VILLAGE CLUBHOUSE
T
he Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad (BGCC) was recently visited by GenerationOn’s Celebrity Youth Ambassador and Disney Channel star Francesca Capaldi. The Dog with a Blog actress stopped by the Carlsbad Village clubhouse with 100 toys for BGCC members to be passed out during the holidays. GenerationOn has partnered with Hasbro for The Joy Maker Challenge, a campaign that engages students in meaningful, hands-on service projects during the holiday season. When asked about the visit BGCC Director Andy Purviance said, “Francesca’s visit and toy delivery couldn’t have come at a better time. We were in the midst of collecting toys so each of our members would receive a gift this holiday season, and the donation from Hasbro had a huge impact on our efforts.” Francesca added, “I’m so pleased to serve as a Joy Ambassador for GenerationOn. It gives me the wonderful opportunity to meet amazing people, learn about others, and give back to the community in which I live – Carlsbad.” BGCC has been providing programs and services to thousands of young people in the Carlsbad community since 1952. The organization is completely funded by local donors.

WHALE WATCHING Gray Whales Travel Through San Diegan Waters on Their Winter Migration by LAINEY KRAL
S
urfers and sailors aren’t the only ones who enjoy San Diego’s offshore playground, even in the depths of winter. Every year the eastern Pacific population of gray whales travels in small groups down the North American coastline towards the warm lagoons of the Baja California peninsula. Their annual voyage is considered the longest migration of any mammal. San Diegans are lucky to be able to witness this incredible venture – many gray whales can be seen here from midDecember through January, and from February through April on the return journey north. Gray whales typically span 49 feet in length and can weigh up to 40 tons. They can be recognized by distinctive light gray patterns on their dark gray skin. They also have a series of raised bumps on their backs, known as a dorsal ridge, rather than a dorsal fin. Gray whales live in two populations on either side of the Pacific – the western population is critically endangered with approximately 130 individuals, while the eastern population off the North American coastline has over 20,000 individuals. The eastern population spends much of the year in Alaskan waters in between migrations to Baja California. Want to see our giant visitors for yourself? There are plenty of ways to do so by land or sea. If you’re watching from shore, try to schedule your viewing between mid-December and mid-February, when

the whales travel closer to land. Great spots include the Birch Aquarium, Cabrillo National Monument, Scripps Park above La Jolla Cove, and Torrey Pines State Reserve. Gray whales dive for three to six minutes at a time before coming to the surface to breathe. They’ll blow three to five times before diving back down – when out watching, scan the water for spouts to find whales before pulling out the binoculars for a better view. For a closer vantage point, there are quite a few options to get out on the water. Many whale watching cruises offer on-board guides who can tell you everything you want to know about the guests of honor, plus guaranteed sightings or you get a second trip free. If you’re looking for an even closer encounter, try a tour that takes you out on a smaller, faster vessel – or even a kayak tour that lets you paddle within 50 feet of the giant mammals.

5Habits Heart-Healthy
by REYZAN SHALI, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Vista
February is American Heart Month, so give yourself some love and assess if your lifestyle is heart healthy. Prevention is key to keeping your heart pumping optimally, and these good habits can help keep your heart strong. 1. Exercise regularly. Your heart is a muscle that needs to be worked as consistently as any other muscle to stay strong. Doing aerobic exercise on most days of the week for 30 to 60 minutes helps your heart work efficiently. 2. Eat a balanced diet. According to the U.S. government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, eating right for your heart means including fruits and veggies, low-fat dairy, poultry, fish, and nuts in your diet. Avoid red meat, processed foods, and foods high in sodium. 3. Manage your blood pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease. Keeping your blood pressure within your healthy range reduces strain on your heart and arteries to keep you healthy. Incorporating the first two healthy habits into your routine, consistent exercise and eating well, will help keep your blood pressure in check. Managing your stress, limiting alcohol, and avoiding tobacco smoke are also important. 4. Lose weight if needed. Don’t let the holiday pounds linger. Too much weight puts you at a higher risk for many health problems, including heart disease. 5. Get enough sleep. Your heart is significantly impacted when your body doesn’t get enough sleep – just as your body needs rest, so does your heart. Lack of a good night’s sleep means your heart rate and blood pressure stay elevated instead of fluctuating normally. While the right amount of sleep varies from person to person, most people need six to eight hours of sleep each day.

LCCHS CELEBRATES FRIENDLY COMPETITION WITH DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT
La
Costa Canyon High School’s (LCCHS) ASB recently held their 4th Annual Dodgeball Tournament. All LCCHS students were invited to participate in the weeklong lunchtime tournament, whether freshman or senior, student-athlete or not. Participating students formed coed teams, chose team names, and arranged their own themed costumes. Some of the creative team names included Scrub Squad, Slum-dodge Millionaires, Dolphin Squad, and Return of the Darkside, among others. Team Return of the Darkside ultimately took this year’s title as champions, after gaining victory over Dolphin Squad in the final match. Students Rachel Dumiak and Bryan Johnson coordinated the entire tournament and created the bracket and over 35 teams participated. Every year the ASB-sponsored tournament generates a large crowd of spectators and teachers or staff members serve as referees. When asked about the event ASB Director Kaitlin Wood said, “Our campus culture is big on competition and sporting events, so dodgeball brings everyone together. It’s one of my personal favorites of all the events we do – it costs almost nothing and brings the students together to have fun and throw it back to their elementary school recess days.”

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
2014 - A Year of Stability What’s in Store for 2015?
So what should we anticipate for 2015? Well, many believe that mortgage rates should rise from their near record-low, the overall borrowing rate will remain relatively competitive. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has repeatedly stated that she recognizes the role played by the housing market in the overall health of our economy, and will continue with their efforts to nurture a slow “unwinding” of mortgage rates. In relation to overall home prices and values, economists feel that home prices will show modest appreciation in 2015, in the middle single digit range. And if interest rates continue to remain competitive and keeping buyers motivated, middle digit appreciation is very possible.
by AL REX, CPA & Realtor
L
ast year can best be described as a relatively stable year in real estate terms. Our county, our city, and even our own 92011 zip recognized modest single digit growth in value – coming in around the 5% mark. Of course, this is on top of 16% growth in 2013, for a compounding growth of almost 22% in value over the last two years. Continued low mortgage interest rates kept buyers active, although the number of homes sold dropped 11% from the previous year at the county and city level, and a whopping 25% drop for 92011. This is not totally unexpected as we had a surge of buying activity in both 2012 and 2013, as home values grew compared to the prior years during the market decline. Most of the reduction in selling activity occurred during the last four months of 2014, while activity during the spring and summer was strong. One sign of stability in our market is the reduction of foreclosures. As an example, just last month there were 138 home foreclosures
throughout the county. This might seem like a significant number, but not when compared to the numbers we were experiencing during the height of the market correction in 2008, where

foreclosures were in excess of 2,000 per month. Another sign of stability is in the decreased number of short sales recognized in 2014, representing just eight of the 209 homes sold in 92011, or just under 4%. Compare this to the 17% we experienced in 2012, and we can see that distressed sales are no longer a significant drain on our average values.
