:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 4, No. 2 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux Creative Director Tyler McElhaney Editor Sarabeth McElhaney editor@zcodemedia.com

Fall is in the Air

’m typically a summer guy. I like the warm weather. I like spending time out in the boat. There are the beaches, the parks, hiking, kids are out of school – it’s all good. Summer is usually my favorite time of the year. So why have I spent the last several weeks daydreaming about the arrival of fall? Quite frankly, because it’s been HOT! I guess I’m getting old. Or perhaps I’ve simply turned into a Southern California fair-weather person. Anyone that is close to me knows that I love to wear my shorts and T-shirts. In fact, that is my work attire more days than not. But let’s face it – the August heat has been ridiculous to say the least. The idea of getting back to our 72 degree average daily forecast – along with chilly nights – is quite appealing to me. I can barely wait. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that our kids are now back in school, and our home is getting back into a more realistic schedule with predictable routines. There is a simple feeling of relief that I get knowing that our kids are hard at work in the classroom and not constantly being shuttled around between play dates, camps, and sleepovers. Oh, and the retirement (for the most part) of the repetitive “I’m bored” phrase – gone! Strange how that happens. And did I mention football? Isn’t fall synonymous with football? The temperature cools down for the players on the gridiron – having played many years of football growing up, this must be by design. Derrick Breaux Whether you are a local high school football fan, a college fan, or Publisher a professional football fan, you can’t deny the excitement of the season. Fall is almost here, I’m ready for it. We have some great things planned for the magazine over the next few issues. Be on the lookout for some additional departments and special sections within the pages of 92011 – all designed with you in mind. Thanks for your continued support. Don’t be a stranger. We always welcome feedback, photo submissions, article recommendations, and new ideas. It’s a community thing! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

The Toe Tappers

LOCAL DANCE ENSEMBLE BRINGS JOY TO CARLSBAD

ith performances such as their recent appearance at Carlsbad by the Sea’s “Roaring ‘20s” event, the local dance troupe The Toe Tappers, made up of eight tap-dancing seniors, strives to bring entertainment to the communities of North County. The group started over 30 years ago in an exercise class at a senior mobile home community. Their manager Fran explained, “Some of the members were dancers and it didn’t take long before they kicked up their boring exercise class to include tap dance, and then costumes, and then performances.” While the original members of The Toe Tappers are retired, the current dancers carry on their legacy with exciting choreography and dazzling costumes. Fran continued, “Our mission is to bring joyous entertainment to our audiences. My best memory was a holiday performance at a retirement community. Seated in the front

row was an elderly lady in a wheelchair – she smiled and danced in her chair the whole time. When I greeted her after the show she just smiled and patted my hand, but her daughter told me that the lady had owned a dance studio for years and had been a fabulous dancer. She was 101 years old! We dance for people like her.” With additional help from their

two emcees Bernie and Bob, their two music technicians Roger and Ken, and their talented web designer Ivy Hall, the Toe Tappers are always ready to share their love for dance. In addition, the group is open to new members with dance experience who are 55 to 74 years old. For more information visit www.toetappers.org. ¢

Nothing Short Incredible of

Student Star Sydney Payne is Becoming a Broadcasting Pro by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

hen asked about her favorite school subject, Carlsbad High’s Sydney Payne didn’t hesitate. “My favorite class in school is definitely broadcasting. I can’t get enough of walking into the studio every other morning and being able to do what I love to do.” Sydney’s been feeding her CHSTV appetite for the past three years, a journey which in her eyes has been nothing short of incredible. “My favorite part about being in CHSTV is having the chance to create and produce stories where I am able to express my passion for journalism.” In this experience, she feels she’s been led to so many opportunities and lessons: writing, editing, reporting, anchoring, photojournalism, and producing. In her junior year Sydney applied for a summer workshop with PBS Student Reporting Labs in Washington, D.C. The application required a one-minute video encompassing her experience in the broadcasting field, along with a questionnaire detailing her work.

She was one of only 18 students chosen to go in June. Her best memory of the workshop was gathering with different students from all over the country, each sharing the same interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made many connections and learned so much that I have used to improve my skills.â&#x20AC;? Her favorite project during her time at CHSTV involved PBS also. Sydney wrote, reported, filmed, edited, and produced a short documentary titled "The New Safe." The topic was school safety, and it aired on the PBS NewsHour to a million-plus viewers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I watched my documentary on national television,â&#x20AC;? Sydney smiled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had never felt so honored and proud to see my work showcased.â&#x20AC;? Outside of school, Sydney has been dancing for 15 years. A creative outlet to express herself, going into dance class after a long day helps with relieving stress. She loves living right next to the beach in Carlsbad and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live anywhere else in the world.

About the Chef Submit a rec www.9 2011ma ipe at gazine.c om

Chef: Camryn Carroll Family: Dad – Kevin; Mom – Denise; Sisters – Chrissy and Carly – Younger Sister; Boyfriend – Sean; Pups – Max and Cooper Community: Carlsbad for 20 years! Hobbies: Bowling, swimming, going to Padres games, and attempting art projects off Pinterest Favorite Local Activity: Going to the local breweries! About the Recipe: I needed an appetizer for a friend’s Christmas party and wanted something creative, thus taco cups! They were originally created because I knew we were going to need a protein while drinking, but they have become a party favorite. They are a delicious hand-held snack and fun to make with family and friends. Personally I don’t like spicy foods so my taco cups are always crunchy and cheesy. But I have some friends who add hot sauce, chopped peppers, or anything that will set their mouths on fire. Taco cups are so easy to make and even easier to eat in one perfectly gooey cheesy bite. About the Chef: I have lived in Carlsbad my whole life! I graduated from San Dieguito Academy in 2010 and attended the University of Arizona for the two years following. As much fun as I had being a Wildcat, my heart always belonged in Carlsbad. While at school I loved telling people about Carlsbad and Encinitas, from the surf bums to the flower fields, and how you could be at any place in between those two cities and be less than a 15-minute drive to the beach! Nowadays my boyfriend and I love to go bowling, catch a Padres game during the season, or try a new place for brunch. When we’re not eating, we’re probably at one of the local breweries. I love living in Carlsbad and find new things to enjoy every day! ¢

Family THE NOONANS ARE KEEPING FIT IN CARLSBAD by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

riginally from the East Coast, it took a Pacific Beach Fourth of July party here in sunny San Diego to bring Kevin and Heather together in 2003. The Noonan family, Kevin, Heather, Kate, and James, have loved living in Aviara for the past 12 years. To them, Carlsbad is family-oriented, close to beaches and restaurants, and on a very important note, has many great places for running and fitness. In relation to those activities, the healthy couple pursues many fitness-related hobbies. Kevin and Heather play mixed doubles tennis and run a full marathon together once per year. To keep this fitness regimen, they typically also run at least three half marathons. Heather expressed her enjoyment of the challenge of a marathon. “On top of being a great way to stay fit,” she shared, “marathons have taught me how to never give up, continue to push through mental and physical fatigue, and the importance of goals in life. Lastly,” she concluded, “training for marathons has allowed me to meet many

CHILDREN BETTE PAYNTER IMPACTS CHILDREN'S LIVES AS A COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE by LINDA FRABL | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

fter retiring as a teacher, Elizabeth “Bette” Paynter of the Aviara community continued to substitute and tutor students part time, but she admitted, “I was still looking for a volunteer position that would match my passion for children.” She found it serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for Voices for Children (VFC), a San Diego County nonprofit organization that believes every foster child deserves a safe and permanent home. Bette revealed, “I feel a sense of purpose, an abundance of satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment as a CASA. I can impact a child’s life by making positive and needed recommendations.” As a CASA, Bette advocates for her assigned child’s best interest in court, providing detailed and informed recommendations in a court report to ensure that the judge knows everything about that child’s case. Whether she’s simply requesting an appointment with an orthodontist or suggesting a supervised visit with a family member, Bette stated, “My biggest accomplishment is that I know I’ve made a difference in the lives of these children.” The children Bette represents often have trust issues because they haven’t had reliable authority figures in their lives. Bette proclaimed, “Observing the children moving towards trust and honesty is truly a rewarding aspect of volunteering, and I’m always encouraging them to seek the best in themselves. With patience, persistence, and unconditional love and care, I have seen the fear, anger, and confusion slowly slip away.” In addition to meeting with her assigned case child twice a month, Bette also meets with her three-year-old great granddaughter every Wednesday, and they attend the Carlsbad Dove Library’s storytime together. Bette is graced with three daughters, and aside from her great granddaughter, she also has two granddaughters. Her husband, J.P., also has a granddaughter (with another granddaughter on the way!). Bette exclaimed, “Our family has felt much joy and gratitude with the arrival of each of these beautiful girls!” When she isn’t caring for children in all capacities, Bette loves to travel with J.P. They frequently visit Ireland, J.P.’s homeland, and also have a home in Palm Desert. The happy couple also travels to Kauai once a year. At the moment, Bette insisted, “I don’t seem to have time to retire!” Busy with VFC, Bette extends a plea for others to either donate or volunteer towards the worthy cause.  Group: Mission:

Commitment to Community

CARLSBAD PARKS & RECREATION AWARDED NATIONAL ACCREDITATION photo provided by City of Carlsbad

fter a yearlong approval process including onsite inspections and peer review, the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) has awarded national accreditation to the City of Carlsbad’s Parks & Recreation Department, making Carlsbad one of 136 agencies nationwide and only four in California to have earned accreditation. The process requires extensive training, detailed documentation of policies and procedures, and enhanced teamwork in the delivery of parks and recreation services. After accreditation the city must also submit annual updates to prove ongoing complicance with standards and reaccredit every five years. Parks & Recreation Department Director Chris Hazeltine said, “This recognition is not just about our department, it’s about the commitment of our city leaders, volunteers, and community members. We truly work

as a team to ensure our community has access to a healthy outdoor lifestyle, lifelong learning, and personal enrichment.” With nearly 50 miles of trails, 27 parks, and community events and recreation programs for all ages, the Parks & Recreation Department works to provide community gathering places and other services that strengthen families and build a strong sense of community, health and fitness opportunities, and the preservation of open space. Upcoming projects for community improvement in the City of Carlsbad include a new outdoor amphitheater, a third city dog park, a multiuse arena field, a new community garden, and a new community center.

Moon Patrol

City of Carlsbad Offers Community Arts Grants

CHS Lancer Dancers Offer Kids Dance Classes

The Grauer School recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with the grand opening of a new permanent campus building. The new addition more than doubled the classroom square footage and was intended to integrate an intimate open space that embraces the school’s topographical setting and develop highly innovative classrooms with the newest technology. The project took $4 milion dollars and just over 15 months to complete, though it was funded primarily through individual donations. Head of School Stuart Grauer said, “This new construction is extraordinary, but it’s what it houses that is most meaningful. Our real mission has never been to build a prominent set of high-proﬁle buildings, but rather to create a permanent space for safety and imagination in thought and action. Both faculty and kids immediately took to it as a wonderland.” Students were welcomed to campus for the new school year in mid-August and an ofﬁcial ribbon cutting ceremony took place in early September. For more information visit www.grauerschool.com.

The City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office invites applications for its annual Community Arts Grants program. The grants, which must be matched by money from other sources, will be awarded to nonprofit organizations, schools, and schoolrelated organizations for visual, media, literary, and performing arts projects taking place in Carlsbad in 2016. Projects must be within the categories of art projects or arts in schools. Art organizations located elsewhere within San Diego County are eligible, but funded activities must occur in Carlsbad. The grant application deadline is Oct. 30 and applicants will receive notification of awarded grants by December. City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Manager Vincent Kitch said, “The Community Arts Grants program supports schools as well as local nonprofits, providing cultural and artistic opportunities for all ages. The cultural arts contribute to our creative community and the high quality of life we enjoy in Carlsbad.” To learn more about applications and guidelines visit www.carlsbadca.gov/arts or call 760-434-2920.

Green Transportation Choices

The SANDAG iCommute division, which helps reduce trafﬁc and greenhouse gas emissions through commuter assistance and employer services, recently recognized 33 local employers for embracing and encouraging green transportation choices, including Carlsbad-based companies such as Dudek, Legoland California, and Thermo Fisher Scientiﬁc. Sempra Energy was also recognized for their efforts. The 2015 iCommute Diamond Awards were granted during a special breakfast reception at SANDAG. The Diamond Awards program is based on a points system, and participating employers receive points based on employer involvement, Corporate Challenge participation, and shifts in employee commute choices. The program educates employers on how to promote and implement transport alternatives like carpooling, walking, biking, taking public transit options, telecommuting, or compressed workweek schedules. All of these options help reduce the number of cars on San Diego’s roads, contributing to a shorter commute for everyone and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Carlsbad Devin C. Hughes recently released his children’s story Moon Patrol, a space exploration adventure and humorous picture book series for young and early readers which focuses on themes of inclusion and diversity. Devin shared, “The main character, Axis Jaxson, travels the galaxy helping the helpless, righting wrongs, and solving problems. A race of aliens have altered their DNA to eradicate any diversity or specialty. Axis helps show them the importance of diversity and the value of having different cultures in society.” According to Devin, Moon Patrol seeks to change the landscape of children’s books by featuring a conﬁdent African-American protagonist. “I want to help kids understand that people may look different on the outside, but we’re all the same on the inside.” He continued, “Through Axis’ interaction with different planets and alien species, kids will learn tolerance and open mindedness to new cultures and different people, and that it can be fun to get to know the unknown!” For more information visit www.devinhughes.com.

Local Surf Club Gives Back

The State Beach Classic, an annual surf contest put on by the State Beach Locals Surf Club (SBLSC), recently attracted surfers and non-surfers alike to Tamarack Beach. The contest was created to give back to Carlsbad and as a tribute to local professional surfer Banning Capps, who died in 2000. For the past four years SBLSC has selected the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad (BGCC) to be one of the beneﬁciaries of the event and this year they were able to raise $2,800. Event organizer Phil Antonopoulos said, “We are always excited to produce this annual event, but the best part is knowing that the money we raise goes to such a good local cause. The BGCC impacts so many kids’ lives with their amazing programs and we are proud to donate our proceeds to them.” The contest allows all ages, genders, and skill levels to compete. The State Beach Cup was awarded to Carlsbad’s own professional surfer Gabe Garcia. For more information visit www.statebeachclassic.com or www.bgccarlsbad.org.

ince its founding in 1982, Great Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics has grown to become one of the leading orthodontic and pediatric dental practices in North County San Diego. Utilizing the latest technological advances, the practice prides itself on delivering high quality, individualized dental care to infants,

children, and teens, as well as orthodontic care to children, teens, and adults. The practice is thrilled to announce the relocation of its former Encinitas office to Carlsbad, while maintaining their main office in Solana Beach. “We’re happy to now be calling Carlsbad home and look forward to continuing our great work in the community,” said Dr. Miller and Dr. Angelopoulos, who – along with Dr. Hydo and Dr. Rawlings –

believe that staying involved in the community should remain a top priority. “Great Smiles is a community partner whose commitment to improving the lives of patients and neighbors extends beyond the dental office,” stated Dr. Miller and Dr. Angelopoulos. “More than just providing good dental care, the Great Smiles doctors believe that being active members of the community is important so that there’s great personal relationships with their patients, who SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

are also friends, neighbors, community activists, and so much more.” The practice is composed of four exceptionally skilled doctors with over 80 years combined experience: Dr. Christopher Hydo DDS, MS; Dr. Natalie Miller DDS, MS; Dr. Crystal Angelopoulos DMD; and Dr. William Rawlings who has degrees and board certification in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. The doctors at Great Smiles are also very proud of their support staff. “All of our dental assistants are certified Registered Dental Assistants. Each one of them is specially trained to work with young children in a manner that displays patience and understanding,” explained Dr. Miller and Dr. Angelopoulos. “Additionally, our treatment coordinators are experts at all of the aspects of administration of a dental practice.” The team at Great Smiles is focused on providing excellent service to every patient. “What separates us from many other practices is our approach to communication,” said Dr. Hydo. “We know that to be effective, communication has to flow two ways. Our treatment can be adjusted based on what our doctors and staff hear from patients, which allows us not only to always be providing the highest quality care, but delivering it in the way that is most comfortable for each patient.” ¢

The Boy and Girl Scouts of Carlsbad are Preparing Local Youth to be the Leaders of Tomorrow

photos by Samantha Gleaton Photography

or over a century, the Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs have

been teaching young people what it means to have self-confidence and self-respect, to help others, and live an upstanding, productive life. As two of the most prominent leadership development programs in the nation, Scouting provides children and teens the opportunity to have fun and experience new things while teaching life skills and fostering a sense of community. We speak with Boy Scouts Pacific Coast District Chairman Stewart Walton and Girl Scouts Carlsbad Service Unit Manager Penny Halverson about the ways these programs are making the world a better place, one troop at a time.

26 â&#x20AC;˘ 92011Magazine.com â&#x20AC;˘ October | November 2015

Q&A with

Boy Scouts Pacific Coast District Chairman, Stewart Walton WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZATION? The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 in the District of Columbia by William D. Boyce. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT? WHEN WAS IT STARTED? The Pacific Coast District was formed in 2000 from the Tecolote District, but scouting in the North County coastal area goes back at least to the ‘40s. The Ecke Building at the present San Diego Botanical Garden started out life as the Scout Building on the Larabee estate. The District presently serves 1,400 youth in 45 units. Most of the members are boys but Venturing Crews can be co-ed. WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF BOY SCOUTS? In my words, we help young people grow into responsible adults by providing fun and challenging activities, with adults serving as guides and models. The official version states, “The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.” The Scout Oath reads, “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” The Scout Law: “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS DISTRICT CHAIRMAN? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS ROLE? The district chairman is a volunteer position; I recruit other volunteers to support scouting and coordinate the overall functioning of the district from recruiting to training to camping. I have been chairman for three years. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF BEING THE DISTRICT CHAIRMAN? Seeing scouts have a great time at a rainy campout, interviewing prospective Eagle

Scouts, and listening to former scouts reminisce about their scouting career. WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING INVOLVED WITH BOY SCOUTS? My sons were interested and I always loved the outdoors. Then I read books about the importance of the outdoors on the development of young men and I got hooked. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXCITING PLANS THIS YEAR FOR THE BOY SCOUTS INVOLVED WITH THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT? We are planning a two-day Camporee in the spring to bring all the Boy Scout and Venturing Crew units together in Ramona with games and challenges. One other item is that we are realigning the boundaries of all the Boy Scouts of America districts and the Pacific Coast District will grow to include a larger part of Carlsbad. Those interested in learning more should visit www.beascout.org. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH FOR THE PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT’S PROGRAM THIS YEAR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I wish for the chance to bring our program to more boys and girls. Most people don’t realize that girls ages 13 to 20 can be part of a high-adventure scouting program called Venturing Crew. WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION FOR A BOY TO BECOME PART OF A BOY SCOUT TROOP? Make friends, do challenging things, go camping. Have fun. HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT JOINING A TROOP? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHEN SOMEONE CAN JOIN? Go to www.beascout.org and find a pack, troop, or crew near you. Or ask a scout that you know. You will fill out an application that your parents will sign. The minimum age for Cub Scouts is seven years old or in first grade. For Boy Scouts, the minimum age is 10 years old or in sixth grade. For Venturers, the minimum age is 14 years.

Q&A with

Girl Scouts Carlsbad Service Unit Manager Penny Halverson WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE GIRL SCOUTS ORGANIZATION? Girl Scouts in the USA was started over 100 years ago in Savannah, GA by Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT? WHEN WAS IT STARTED? The first reported Girl Scout troop in Carlsbad was started in 1943 and had 12 girl scouts. By 1960 that number had grown to 12 troops and 214 girl scouts. WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF GIRL SCOUTS? Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS SERVICE UNIT MANAGER? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS ROLE? My role is to oversee the running of the Carlsbad Service Unit (SU) with help from the SU team, to mentor and support troop leaders, help plan events, and help grow the Girl Scout community in Carlsbad. I’m stepping down after nearly three years but will continue to be part of the SU team as registrar. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF BEING THE SERVICE UNIT MANAGER? Getting to work with some truly remarkable adult volunteers and watching girls go from being shy and reserved to being confident leaders amongst their peers.

WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING INVOLVED WITH GIRL SCOUTS? I was a Girl Guide in South Africa as a child and my mother was a Brownie and Girl Guide in the UK. When my daughter started kindergarten I knew I wanted her to have the same great experiences so I started a Daisy troop. I enjoyed being a leader so much that I started another troop for a friend’s daughter. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXCITING PLANS THIS YEAR FOR THE GIRL SCOUTS INVOLVED WITH THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT? We have a She & Me Ice Skating event planned for October at the Carlsbad Ice Town. In February there is the multicultural Thinking Day event which is always a highlight. Our annual service unit multi-age level encampment is planned for May 2016. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH FOR THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT’S PROGRAM THIS YEAR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? That we continue to foster a sense of community amongst our troops and volunteers. WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION FOR A GIRL TO BECOME PART OF A TROOP? There are many reasons: girls may have family members who have been Girl Scouts, some girls join a troop to make friends at a new school, and many girls want to join after meeting Girl Scouts selling cookies. Others want to get outdoors and try new things.

HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT JOINING A TROOP? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHEN SOMEONE CAN JOIN? Visit www.sdgirlscouts.org/join. Once you’ve registered you‘ll be able to search for troops by zip code. Most new troops start in the fall, but you can start a troop at anytime. The easiest way to get your daughter in a troop is to volunteer to be a troop leader or co-leader. AT WHAT AGE LEVELS CAN GIRLS PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM? PLEASE DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GIRL SCOUTS BY GRADE. Girls can participate in Girl Scouts from kindergarten though 12th grade. Program levels are based on grade level rather than age: Daisy (grades K through 1), Brownie (grades 2 through 3), Junior (grades 4 through 5), Cadette (grades 6 through 8), Senior

There are outdoor badges like camping and hiking as well as some tech-based badges like Geocaching for Juniors, Netiquette for Cadettes, and Website Designer for Seniors.

ARE THERE ANY ANNUAL OR UPCOMING EVENTS IN WHICH THE CARLSBAD SERVICE UNIT TAKES PART? HOW CAN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TAKE PART OR CONTRIBUTE? Girl Scout Cookie Sales take place Jan. 24 through March 6 in 2016. Community support is crucial to the success of our hardworking cookie sellers. Girls learn valuable people, business, and financial skills by participating in cookie sales. Troop proceeds from cookie sales make it possible for girls to do fun activities, camp, travel, and fund local community service projects.

92011 – Junior Troop 1852 created an organic garden at Aviara Oaks Elementary for their Bronze Award Project and traveled to San Francisco to the Bridge to Cadettes ceremony on the Golden Gate Bridge.

GETTING LIVES BACK ON TRACK MG Kristian is Helping to Ensure Second Chances for Everyone by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

G Kristian is quick to acknowledge that we, as humans, all make mistakes. But living by her mom’s axiom, “There but by the grace of God go I,” she has a perspective that looks past the poor decisions and into the possibilities of the future. As a board member for Second Chance and a human resources professional, this Carlsbad resident is helping people to get their lives back on track. “We can all think back to moments when we did stupid things or took crazy risks and thankfully for most of us it didn’t impact our lives forever. But for some it does,” MG acknowledged. This is where Second Chance steps in. The nonprofit organization, she explained, “creates opportunities for people to transform their own lives through programs that provide job readiness and life skills training, job placement, behavioral health and prisoner re-entry services, as well as relapse prevention and sober-living housing for adults and youth in need.” MG’s personal experience helps to inform her role on the board. “I’ve always been of the opinion that if I can be successful, anyone can – and I wanted to have the opportunity to share the secrets of my success. Coming from a working class family where the girls were not encouraged to pursue professional careers, I managed to figure out how to break through,” she acknowledged. Today, in addition to her board commitment at Second Chance, MG works as the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Mitchell International in San Diego. MG and her husband Bill, both native New Yorkers, relocated to Carlsbad 10 years ago. The area’s beaches, coastal breezes, resorts, trail system, and fresh produce were all a major appeal. As amateur chefs, they enjoy the availability of fresh local ingredients and love hosting dinner parties with well-thought-out wine and food pairings. According to MG, Second Chance will be hosting their own event on Oct. 3 at Qualcomm Hall. The event will feature Piper Kerman, author of Orange is the New Black, and will include cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The money raised will benefit Second Chance and ensure yearround support for adults and youth to create self-sufficiency and, ultimately, a better future. “What we do is restore lives, strengthen communities, and put people back to work. It’s hard work, and it is extremely rewarding,” she acknowledged. For more information visit www.secondchanceprogram.org. 

Staying Healthy This Fall by ROBIN ROBERTSON, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Carlsbad

Don’t put your well-being on the back burner as the days get shorter and the temperature cooler. Stay motivated and heathy this autumn by making the most of the season. Keep your mind sharp, decrease stress, and maintain your mental health. Learning new skills can positively affect well-being, so sign up for that course you’ve been meaning to take, cook up some new recipes, learn a language, or even rediscover an old hobby that is challenging and enjoyable, such as building model airplanes or sketching. To help manage stress and relieve daily anxiety, try a meditation class. There are many ways to meditate, so you may want to experiment with different methods. Avoid unconscious eating. Pre-measure exactly what you want to eat in the kitchen before settling on the couch – and enjoy the bounty of fall. Apples, pears, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and pumpkin are low in calories and loaded with nutrients. Get your flu shot. Flu season can start as early as October, so protect yourself and your family by getting vaccinated. In addition, when you

cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose, and stay home if you are sick. Check with your doctor’s office for a flu clinic near you. Tailgate Lite. Football season can add pounds fast. To avoid the fall 15, switch out those burgers and chicken wings for grilled kabobs with veggies, fruits, and lean meat. Try seafood, salsa, wraps, and stews as well, and don’t overindulge in alcohol. Enjoy your favorite brew, but trade it in for less caloric beverages as the game continues. Keep moving. With fewer outdoor options for physical activities in the evening, make adjustments to ensure you keep moving. Join a gym or a fall sports league, plan evening walks at the mall, or become an early riser. Take advantage of fun outdoor activities while the sun is out. Try apple picking, chasing your kids around the corn maze, or cleaning up the yard. Wash your hands. Make sure your family knows the importance of washing their hands. It’s like a do-it-yourself vaccine and one of the best things we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading germs to others. Take charge of your medical health. Fall is a good time to get a handle on your personal health care. Keep track of any medical issues, and if you want to change your doctor, now is the time. Schedule your annual physical if needed – and wellness visits for your family. ¢

Swimming for a Fresh Start

LOCAL SWIMMERS CROSS THE CATALINA CHANNEL FOR CHARITY photos courtesy of Mathias LeBlanc

team of seven North County teens, known as Ocean’s Seven, recently crossed the Catalina Channel in a six-person open water relay swim to raise funds for the Carlsbad nonprofit Fresh Start Surgical Gifts (FSSG). The swimmers – Anna Brooker, Heloise Leblanc, Tegan Preston, Mia Ryan, Erin Taggart, Mia Thomas, and Lindsay Turner – train together at North Coast Aquatics (NCA), one of the top-ranked competitive swim teams in Southern California, under the direction of Coach Mickey Murad. The athletes began discussing the project in January of this year after hearing about another team who completed the crossing last year. Inspired by Mia Thomas’ mother, who crossed the channel on a solo swim two years ago, and Heloise Leblanc’s mother, who is a volunteer surgeon for FSSG, the girls decided to dedicate their crossing to the local charity. Though they have been swimming with NCA for years and follow a rigorous training schedule that includes 15 to 20 hours of pool swimming and dry land

training per week, they began training specifically for the crossing by incorporating open water ocean swims into their training earlier this year in the spring. The team finished the relay swim in seven hours, 51 minutes, and 37 seconds, and so far have raised over $18,000 for Fresh Start. Heloise’s father Mathias LeBlanc commented, “The girls are all successful student athletes and are very competitive. But more importantly, they are a group of great friends motivated to give back to the community and help out for a good cause while having fun and doing something out of the ordinary.” ¢

“They did an awesome job – perfect collaboration with my vision for it, flexible pricing, and quality workmanship. Fast, too!”

FAST FRAMING An Old World Craft Meets Modern Technology at Fastframe Carlsbad by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Tyler McElhaney

he grandfather’s painting tucked away, the posters left rolled up, the memorabilia from a favorite concert – traditionally, framing these favorite pieces was a long process. But one local business is changing this. Dedicated to fast turnaround, excellent service, and a high-quality selection, Fastframe Carlsbad reinvents the art of framing. Unlike many frame shops, Fastframe builds each frame on-site. Clients not only have a quality in-house selection to fit their budgets and needs, they can also be creative and unique with over 3,000 moulding samples to choose from. A recent client described: “I had a complex frame to create with a concert poster, drum stick, ticket window, and two pictures with the artist, five windows in all. They did an awesome job – perfect

collaboration with my vision for it, flexible pricing and quality workmanship. Fast, too!” While speed is a key factor, owner Elizabeth Pace understands the art and history of the process. She explained, “The Fastframe Operating System has taken this Old World craft and added modern technology, which allows us to produce products in a fraction of the time it takes our competitors.” Started in 1986 in Europe, Fastframe’s guarantee is a leader in the industry – 30 days on design and lifetime on craftsmanship. Locally owned, the business is an important part of the Carlsbad community. Elizabeth, alongside manager David Pace, is involved in TGIF Jazz in the Parks, Carlsbad Dove Library events, Carlsbad Arts Program, Memories in the Making Art Program, and the San Diego Alzheimer’s Association. Elizabeth’s background as a teacher

and David’s experience as an artist and retail manager ensure clients are educated about options and receive excellent design recommendations. Free consultations are offered at the shop, in home, or via email, as well as free pickup and delivery. One client explained, “Fastframe did an amazing job on framing my mother’s oil painting. They have a great eye to help select the perfect frame that enhances my mom’s work. They were really fast! I have also sent them many of my clients who are also thrilled with their quality and service, even in-home service for an older client that does not drive!” Fastframe is keeping up the pace, and Elizabeth would love to open a second location to grow the communities they serve. For now, Elizabeth and David are excited to serve their Carlsbad customers with their unique services. ¢

Special Wishes

COMMUNITY SUPPORT BRINGS HOPE AND HAPPINESS TO CARLSBAD WISH KIDS

wo Carlsbad Make-A-Wish kids recently saw their wishes come true with help from the San Diego Make-A-Wish Foundation, community volunteers, and the support of local businesses. Carlsbadbased spine technology company Spinal Elements, Inc. teamed up with The MakeA-Wish Foundation to grant a special wish to five-year-old Angelina, who has Stage 3 neuroblastoma. After a hero-themed ceremony and ice cream party celebration in mid-August, Angelina headed off to Hawaii with her family to Disney’s Aulani resort for a vacation of swimming, surfing, hula dancing, and even a snorkel cruise. A result of Spinal Elements’ Hero Allograft program, this is the fourth local wish send-off party that the company has hosted to date. President of Spinal Elements Jason Blain said, “We are thrilled to be able to sponsor wishes for Wish Kids like Angelina. More people knowing about Hero Allograft and the more doctors, hospitals, and surgeons who use it means that more wishes are coming true for San Diego children.” Reagan, a 14-year-old with Crohn’s Disease, recently received an organic backyard makeover. Reagan has many dietary restrictions but

will now be able to grow his own organic fruit and vegetables and enjoy a peaceful garden setting in his own backyard. Over 50 community volunteers and generous donors from local landscape organizations contributed over 300 hours of manpower to create the backyard oasis that includes raised organic garden beds, a composter, tower plant garden and fruit trees, drought-resistant ground cover and landscape, and a custombuilt koi pond and fountain. Reagan helped to design the garden himself but didn’t see the final product until he returned home from his wish day at Balboa Park. For more information visit www.sandiego.wish.org. ¢

BUDGET-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS TO TRICK OUT YOUR HOUSE THIS FALL

by RANDI CANTRELL

lthough the warm weather of the San Diego summer still lingers, the start of fall is here and with it the fun of preparing for all of the upcoming seasonal traditions and holidays. Halloween will be here before we know it – bringing festive décor and props such as spooky spiders and supernatural ghouls to your neighborhood – but all of that preparation doesn’t have to break the bank. Scare up your crafting skills and get into the spirit by using these tips to create your own one-of-a-kind Halloween decorations.

Front Door Mummy

Have some left-over white streamers from a recent birthday party or family celebration? Put these to good use by taping the paper streamers to your front door in strips, making sure to overlap the layers for a wrapped look. Next take some white and black construction paper and a pair of scissors. Cut two large white circles and two smaller black circles to make eyes for your mummy and secure them to the door by taping them to the paper streamers. Another option is to use black streamers to create a monster completely from your own imagination!

Ghost Lanterns

Recycle old gallon milk jugs and light the way to your door for trick-or-treaters with ghosty lanterns. Rinse out an empty gallon milk jug until it is completely clean, then draw on a spooky face with a black permanent marker such as a Sharpie. From there, cut a small hole in the back of the jug, drop in some white holiday

lights, and plug your new creation into an outdoor outlet to give your lantern a ghastly glow.

Glowing Eyes

Add some mystery to your front yard foliage by creating glowing eyes from used cardboard tubes such as toilet paper or paper towel rolls. Just make eye-shaped cuts out of the cardboard, place a glowstick inside the tube, and tuck it away into the bushes along your front walkway. To achieve a more haunting effect, make a bunch of different sets and scatter them throughout the bushes and trees in your yard.

Paint Your Pumpkin

Let out your inner artist and take a less traditional approach to pumpkin decorating this year with paint or glitter. While you’re at the pumpkin patch, look for one that’s a good shape without too many bumps, cuts, or soft spots, as these will make painting more difficult. Also

38 • 92011Magazine.com • October | November 2015

check to make sure that the bottom is flat enough to allow the pumpkin to sit up straight. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry it completely before you begin. Next, decide whether you’ll be painting the whole pumpkin or just a small part of it. If you’re planning to completely cover it in paint, do this in stages to allow the paint to dry in between. Acrylic paints work best, but feel free to embellish your masterpiece with glitter or props such as a hat or costume jewelry.

Window Silhouettes This classic decor idea is simple and quick, but still adds a lot of flair. Pull together some black construction paper, a pencil, some scissors, and tape, and get to work tracing your favorite Halloweeninspired shapes – think bats, black cats, spiders, or skeletons. Once you’re ready, carefully cut out your design and adhere it to your window with tape. When it’s dark outside but your lights are on, the shapes will create spooky silhouettes for your neighbors to enjoy.

Surf’s Up

PROFESSIONAL SURFER JOSH KERR HELPS EXPAND COLLEGE SURF CLUB PROGRAM

ongtime Carlsbad resident and professional surfer Josh Kerr has teamed up with Mountain Dew to expand its California College Surf Club program. Launched in 2014 to support San Diego County college surf teams including the University of California, San Diego and Cal State University San Marcos teams, the program is now expanding outside of San Diego to support teams including University of California, Santa Barbara and California State University Fullerton. As a Mountain Dew spokesperson and sponsored athlete, Josh’s support will include interacting with the supported surf teams both on and off campus at key events including autograph signings,

film screenings, surf sessions, and more. Josh shared, “I look forward to continuing this partnership with Mountain Dew and the local surf community. Last year’s program was a real success and I’m excited to expand the program beyond San Diego County to hep continue the growth of the sport within additional college communities.” The teams will receive assistance with team dues as well as donated products from Mountain Dew. In addition, college surf club athletes will work with Josh and Rusty apparel to design and create custom team gear. The program is designed to continue to generate buzz around surfing and the active, fun, and progressive community it represents.

FALL

ON THE FARM

San Diego Pumpkin Patches Promise Plenty of Fun This Season by LAINEY KRAL

s the days get a little bit shorter and nights get a little bit colder – as cold as they ever get in San Diego – it’s time to enjoy the opportunities of autumn. Perhaps nothing symbolizes fall festivities as much as the pumpkin. Whether carved and lit as a jack-o-lantern, baked into a pie, or simply displayed for the holidays, this round orange squash is a critical component of the season. Throughout the month of October, local farms will open up their gates to welcome families eager to pick out their own. San Diego offers a wide variety of pumpkin patches, with something to suit any family’s idea of a perfect autumn day. There are corn mazes, bounce houses, hayrides, train rides, and tasty fall treats. Most are open to the public from late September through Oct. 31 – check out the farms’ websites for detailed hours and available activities. Those who are interested in a simpler, purely pumpkin-oriented experience might want to visit Lavender Hill Pumpkins in Fallbrook. Lavender Hill offers 35 different varieties of pumpkins, squash, and other gourds to pick straight from the vine, ranging

in size from the miniature Munchkin to the North Atlantic Giant. You can find organic pumpkins at Suzie’s Farm, where visitors can take a guided tour of the whole farm in addition to picking their own pumpkins. Farm Stand West has a produce stand with delicious seasonal offerings. If kids or parents want to get to know some four-legged farm folk, a number of pumpkin patches also have petting corrals. Try Bates Nut Farm, Mountain Valley Ranch, or Oma’s Pumpkin Patch for an up-close experience. Pumpkin Station Farms in Bonita and Rancho Bernardo let visitors learn about the farm animals, and kids can saddle up for a pony ride at Bates Nut Farm and Peltzer Farms. The latter also has pig races to cheer on. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Will IRS Decisions in 2015 Affect Future Real Estate Decisions? by AL REX, CPA & Realtor

et’s face it, with our mounting federal deficit, the reality is we’re all going to be experiencing higher taxes at some point in the future. And many of the tax decisions being contemplated today by our Federal government may have far-reaching effects on your real estate decisions in the years to come. If you own a home or investment property and may want to sell in the upcoming years, I recommend you consult your CPA or EA about potential tax modifications being considered in 2015, and how they might affect the timing of your real estate decision in the upcoming years. • Capital Gains – This typically does not affect the sale of your personal residence, but can impact the sale of your rental property or a second home. For 2015, the capital gains rates are 10 percent and 15 percent (20 percent for high income brackets with a potential 3.8 percent potential Medicare surtax). Both the brackets and percentages are again under siege, so talk with your CPA about potential scenarios that might impact your decision of when to sell.

• 1031 Tax Free Exchange – Want to avoid Capital Gains tax totally? Ask your CPA about doing a 1031 Exchange. This has been around since the 1920s, and in recent years has been under discussion to abolish (not likely) or to modify qualifying factors. While it is not likely that 1031 Exchange laws may be changing anytime soon, do consult with your CPA to see if you can benefit on the sale of a rental, business, etc. • Tax Credit for Solar Installation – Through 2016, the purchase of solar for your home will grant you a 30 percent tax credit –that’s dollar for dollar tax savings on this energy investment for your home. Many believe that this tax credit will be extended beyond 2016, but probably at a lower percentage. Consult with your CPA to see if solar may be a good energy and tax saving strategy for you. If solar is a good investment for your home, then I recommend the purchase of solar for your home, and not a lease. For more information on solar in the home, refer to my 92011 Magazine article on solar in the Dec/Jan 2015 issue. • Be Aware of IRS Phishing Scams by Phone – If someone calls you, posing as an IRS Agent regarding any of the following, it may be a scam: » They demand immediate payment (for

delinquent taxes,etc.) » Will threaten arrest or lawsuit » Will request a payment by credit card over the phone, or ask you to take out a pre-paid credit card » Please note: the IRS always notifies by mail and not phone, and will not take payments over the phone Consult your CPA for more information regarding these topics and any other tax-related questions. Don’t have a good CPA or EA? Give me a call as I know of several. ¢
