FROM THE PUBLISHER

Social (Sometimes) Media

P U B L I S HE R

Derrick Breaux D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT

Jessica Breaux

n 2008, my wife and I finally jumped onto the social media bandwagon and opened Facebook accounts. To be honest, we were obsessed at first. We spent weeks connecting with long-lost friends and setting up our own online lives. It was fun and strange at the same time. We had walked through the doors of the digital social world. But fast-forward nearly a decade, and I’m getting concerned about how some people are treating other people on social media platforms. I am often astounded at the level of rudeness, bullying, racism, and other ill-mannered behavior I regularly witness. It’s becoming more and more difficult to find public postings without a string of comments from people bashing each other. We’ve all heard stories of children being bullied online, and I’m sure we all disavow that type of behavior. So why stop there? I have watched friends, family, and strangers post the craziest comments on social media – things most people would never say in person. This is appalling to me. What are we teaching our kids? Where did it go so wrong? How could a video posting of a high school kid’s amazing touchdown turn into hundreds of racially charged, insulting comments? Have people forgotten basic human decency? Do we no longer care about how people treat each other? How can someone understand the appropriate way to act face-to-face, but then get behind a keyboard and descend into hateful bullying? Don’t get me wrong. I’m an avid supporter of the freedom of speech, but freedom of speech is not freedom from social consequences. When I see people saying some of the hateful and slanderous things that they are saying, it makes me think. Sure, it’s easier to look the other way, but let me ask you a simple question. Would you continue to be friends and regularly hang out with someone that has no problem making Derrick Breaux racially charged or rude comments to people out in public? If Publisher your answer is no, then why are you still friends with them on Facebook? Perhaps it’s time for us all to do some housekeeping on our social media accounts. It’s painless and easy. And there’s a good chance those obnoxious friends won’t even realize you unfriended them. Gotta go! I see a great selfie opportunity about to happen. Thanks for being a part of 92011 Magazine!

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

or the Szalkiewicz family, their quiet local life is complemented by global adventures. The family savors the Carlsbad beaches as much as climbing the highest summits and providing humanitarian aid across the world. Parents Kym and Joe moved to Carlsbad in 1996. Kym, who grew up in Carlsbad, serves as the event coordinator for the Carlsbad Educational Foundation. Joe, an Escondido native, is the owner and CEO of YellowLine Digital, a social media management company. The family adventures began in 2008, when their son Joey, 10 years old at the time, wanted to climb Mt. Whitney. Joe tried to talk his son out of the idea, but Joey was committed.

They summited Mt. Whitney that year, and Joey’s bigger dream was born – climbing the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. To date, the father-son team have completed four of the summits. Brittany joined the climb in Kilimanjaro, becoming the youngest female (age 10) to summit the mountain at that time. In conjunction with their climbs, the family has started Share the View, a nonprofit providing eyeglasses for people in the surrounding mountain villages. “Joey’s favorite part of the climb was the view and he couldn’t enjoy those views if his glasses were not available to him,” Kym explained. Now every summit effort is matched by the effort to raise funds and coordinate aid. “We work with Vision Spring, a company that makes frames and lenses that helps us organize an optometrist,” Kym said. “Then we help in the village with the exams and getting the word out to those in need of glasses. In Argentina, we had buses that brought in hundreds of people from outlying villages.” Share the View has provided over 6,500 pairs of eyeglasses. Today, Joey attends UC Santa Barbara. He is an avid hiker and mountaineer who also loves to fish and surf. Brittany, two years younger, competes in equestrian competitions. She loves to sing, play volleyball, and go to the beach with friends. When they are not mountaineering or volunteering, the Szalkiewicz family leads a quieter life around Carlsbad, including Sunday mass at St. Patrick’s Church and having friends over to the house. “We love living in Carlsbad and all that it has to offer. We love the beach, whether going in the water or walking along the seawall or taking electric bikes down the coast for breakfast,” Kym shared. 

KLF RAISES $120,000 FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE photos by Paul Luna Photography

arlsbad nonprofit Kathy’s Legacy Foundation (KLF) held the 2016 Inspiring Dreams Gala at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa in early October to raise awareness of domestic abuse. The gala spotlighted the challenges children face living in an abusive home and funded specific dreams of children living in shelters, including trips to Disneyland, bungee jumping, and soccer lessons. Deputy District Attorney Tracy Prior was honored with the 2016 Inspiring Dreams Award for her lifetime commitment of assisting victims of domestic abuse. The gala also featured a panel of speakers, live music by the Fabulous Ultratones, and live and silent auctions with items such as a surfboard personally designed by Rob Machado, a

getaway to the Fairmont Orchid in Hawaii, and a custom-made diamond necklace. The event raised more than $120,000, some of which will help provide extracurricular activities for children at Rady Children’s Hospital Chadwick Center. KLF’s long-term goal is to build Kathy’s Village and Kennel, an all-inclusive safe haven for survivors of domestic violence, their children, and their pets. “Having the opportunity to help families who have lived through unthinkable trauma is rewarding and

drives us to work even harder. The demand is so much greater than what we can currently provide, and Kathy’s Legacy is committed to being a voice for victims and their families,” said KLF Co-Founder Ginny Scharbarth. The foundation was formed in memory of Kathy Scharbarth and funds a wide range of programs to benefit victims of domestic violence, their children, and their pets. Donations are still being accepted to help Kathy’s Legacy Foundation meet its fundraising goals at www.kathyslegacy.org. ¢

five years. The award was presented to Beth and Brad during the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce’s Annual State of the City Luncheon. The couple was also presented with a Certificate of Recognition by the City of Carlsbad in early October. The Starfish Leadership Awards annual program honors those who have shown extraordinary commitment to champion worthwhile causes, and to engage, inspire, and lead others to join in making a difference in the lives of many. Past recipients of the award include former Mayor Claude E. “Bud” Lewis, former Interfaith Community Services leader Suzanne Stewart Pohlman, 18-year Carlsbad Christmas Bureau leaders Phil and Kathy Urbina, co-founders of Solutions for Change Chris and Tammy Megison, and co-founders of Kids For Peace Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram.

arlsbad High School senior Everett Williams used his Eagle Scout project to enhance the Pacific Rim Elementary School campus by painting a character trait mural. Principal Robert Devich suggested the idea, but left the planning, design, and execution completely up to Everett. “The project entailed designing the mural, creating supply lists, fundraising through presentations to clubs, purchasing all the materials (including 15 gallons of paint), and carrying out the project over a series of weekends,” Everett said. The mural features the school’s nine character traits – citizenship, responsibility, cooperation, caring, respect, fairness, trustworthiness, perseverance, and ambition – in a wave design across two

buildings adjacent to the playground. Everett first repainted both of the walls in blue and white to replace the faded colors and rust stains that were there before, and then proceeded with the new mural. He painted each character trait in a different color along with a representative piece of art for each one. “I hope my mural will allow the students of Pacific Rim to understand all of the character traits of the month using simple, colorful visuals that illustrate that trait,” shared Everett. “I also hope it will allow for more exposure to the traits outside of the classroom.” Everett has been involved with Boy Scouts since he was in elementary school and is currently a Life Scout in Troop 750. Although he is not officially an Eagle Scout until he has his board of review, he is looking forward to achieving this long-term goal. Everett has lived with his family in Carlsbad for 17 years, where he enjoys surfing, woodworking, and running on the cross country and track teams at his high school. He has his sights set on Stanford, UC Berkeley, or UCLA for college where he would like to study something science-related, though he admitted, “I will have to wait and see where my true interest lies.” For now, he can rest assured that he helped make a difference for local students. Principal Devich agreed, “At Pacific Rim, our priority clearly aligns to a strong and accountable character education program. We appreciate Everett’s hard work and are grateful for his Eagle Scout project. Everett helped to not only promote and strengthen the school’s character traits message, but the colorful mural also helped to beautify Pacific Rim’s campus as well. Well done Everett!” 

A Positive Perspective Wilma Boggs Celebrates 100 Years With a Passion for Life by RANDI CANTRELL | photo by Samantha Gleaton Photography

Name: Community: Family: Hobbies:

t’s amazing to think about the technical advances, trials, and triumphs our world has seen in the last 100 years. As the saying goes, the only thing that has remained constant has been change. Carlsbad resident Wilma Boggs can attest to this firsthand. This past October, she celebrated her 100th birthday with the community at Redeemer by the Sea Lutheran Church. During the party, Wilma shared her life story and her secrets to a long life. Wilma was born on a cattle and wheat ranch in Haven, KS. “I loved every minute of it and feel privileged to have had the experiences,” she said. The youngest of four, she grew up with two older sisters and one older brother, and her family was very close. “On weekends our guest room was always filled with our city friends,” she recalls. Later in life, Wilma married an Army B-17 fighter pilot named Marvin Lohmeyer. Tragically, he was killed in action during the war, but love found Wilma again when she married Navy Commander Al Boggs. When Al received orders for San Diego, the couple landed in their first home near San

Diego State University. Wilma recalled, “We were advised by friends with children to move inland away from the foggy mornings.” Soon after Wilma accepted a position at the university on the faculty of Home Economics, Dietetics, and Institutional Management, and taught morning classes so she could spend afternoons with her children. “I enjoyed teaching,” she said. “Especially the students and having the privilege of showing them so many things I had learned through life experiences, not just books.” When her husband retired from the Navy, the couple decided to settle down in Poway on a four-acre avocado and fruit tree ranch, which they maintained themselves for 22 years. “It was a lot of work, but we really enjoyed our time there,” said Wilma. “I stayed on the ranch with my faithful Rottweiler for 12 more years after I lost Al.” Wilma has lived in Carlsbad since 2001. Today she enjoys reading and is an active member of her church. When asked about her secret to a healthy and fulfilling life, Wilma answered confidently, “A positive attitude, healthy eating, and no bad vices, plus a strong faith.” 

Everyone Loves a Clean San Diego

Swinging On a Star of Success

I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) engaged over 7,500 volunteers at 114 cleanup sites simultaneously at this year’s Coastal Cleanup Day in mid-September. During the three-hour event, volunteers worked to restore the health and beauty of San Diego’s natural environment by removing more than 150,000 pounds of trash and pollutants. Volunteers also removed graffiti, replaced invasive plants with water-wise native plants, and performed general park maintenance. Coastal Cleanup Day is one of hundreds of cleanups hosted by ILACSD, receiving attention from several of San Diego’s elected officials who visited cleanup sites in their respective districts. For over 60 years, ILACSD has been San Diego’s most influential advocate for sustainability, serving as an environmental catalyst, awakening passion, inspiring action, and empowering everyone to create a lasting, positive impact on the local environment. For information about how to get involved visit www.cleansd.org.

Local Students Compete at La Costa Film Festival Former Carlsbad High School CHSTV students Haylie Bantle, Kiara DeCelles, and Andrew Ferreira, as well as Valley Middle School student Tommy Kelly, competed at the La Costa Film Festival in mid-October. During their time at CHSTV, Haylie, Kiara, and Andrew worked together on a short film called Crop Swap. CHSTV teacher Doug Green explained, “The story began as a chapter in a longer film produced last year by the Student Television Network. The topic was poverty, and my program executive produced the entire film while also contributing the story on Crop Swap. They highlighted what the organization Crop Swap is doing with locally grown crops to assist in combating hunger on a local level.” Crop Swap was a finalist in the high school/college film division of the La Costa Film Festival and also won Best of Show at the 2016 San Diego County Fair. As a finalist for The Reel Pitch, middle schooler Tommy Kelly pitched a screenplay idea to a panel of professional filmmakers at the festival. To learn more visit www.lacostafilmfestival.org.

Vettes for Vets Hosted by North Coast Vettes, the 5th Annual Vettes for Veterans show will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. Every year the event is organized completely by volunteers and this year’s net proceeds will go to the Paralyzed Veterans of America Cal-Diego Chapter and the Semper Fi Fund of San Diego. Corvette owners can enter their Corvette into the contest for $35 and the event is free to the general public. Spectators will be able to view a wide variety of Corvettes with models ranging from the ‘50s to the latest models. This year’s event is expected to fill up quickly, so those interested in entering their car should contact Howard Rosenberg at seyhow@sbcglobal.net. Other highlights of the event include musical entertainment, raffle prizes, a silent auction, and more. To learn more visit www.northcoastvettes.org.

Away for the Holidays The Veterans’ Writing Group has released a book, Away for the Holidays, to share their experiences of spending a holiday away from home while in the service. In hopes that it will highlight the sacrifices of members of our military for the general public, while also allowing veterans to feel comforted by the shared experiences of other veterans, the group plans to distribute free copies to VAs, military hospitals, and USOs. The book will also be for sale on Amazon. Cofounder Gail Chatfield shared, “The stories they shared are heartwarming and heart-rending at the same time. When we decided to put the stories together in a book to share about the service and sacrifice of our military, the group accomplished this mission with military precision and esprit de corps.” The Veterans’ Writing Group was founded in 2010 by Gail Chatfield and John Maki, and holds free meetings on the first Saturday of every month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Veterans Association of North County in Oceanside. The group is open to any veteran who would like to improve their writing skills, develop a creative outlet, share their experiences, and or get help publishing their work, and members come from all over San Diego County.

America’s Kindest City The official dedication ceremony for Carlsbad’s newest kindness meters was held in late-September. Installed at either side of the Carlsbad sign, the meters are a way to raise money to keep the sign permanently lit, while also raising funds for Carlsbad and North County charities and community projects. The dedication ceremony saw a great turnout from the community, and attendees enjoyed live music by The Blackwater Blues Band and danced in the street in celebration. CBS News 8 anchor Dan Cohen served as emcee and the event saw appearances from world-renowned marine life artist Wyland as well as former TaylorMade CEO and major sponsor of the sign Mark King. Carlton Lund, the organizer behind the Kindness Meter Project, shared, “I wanted the meters in the first place... as a charitable thing. Just to make kindness a regular habit. The whole purpose is to generate kindness.” To learn more about the Kindness Meter Project visit www.kindnessmeters.com.

Helping Underserved Youth Local nonprofit Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) teamed up with employees of NETGEAR to provide backpacks full of school supplies for over 50 children in North County San Diego. SSE’s mission is to repurpose supplies to those in need at local schools and nonprofits. The organization’s director Sue Prelozni said, “When our friends at NETGEAR reached out regarding this special project, we were more than happy to help them identify a few local nonprofits whose constituents truly fit their purpose,” said SSE Director Sue Prelozni. Together they focused on three nonprofits: Petra House, New Haven Youth and Family Services, and Stand Up for Kids. Through their research, they decided to utilize the School-Tools Backpacks by World Vision for their outreach. “We felt that the homeless and foster children would benefit the most from receiving a School-Tools backpack filled with school supplies,” said NETGEAR office coordinator Francesca Vanderloo. “The best part of the School-Tools Backpack is the handwritten note it includes with words of encouragement, prepared by our employees who assembled the backpacks,” said Vanderloo.

The Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s (CLAF) Night at the Library was held in midSeptember at the Dove Library. The annual event raises funds to provide financial support for the Carlsbad library and art facilities and programs for children, teens, and adults. Attendees were treated to an Italian dinner and dessert, tours of the library, and a night of dancing in the library with musical entertainment from San Diego artists Melanie Taylor, Terry Wollman, and DJ Extreme. Ben D. Schulman, a longtime patron of the library, was the guest of honor for the night, and the crowd helped him celebrate his 99th birthday.

Therapeutic Literacy Center and FAY Center Offer Real Solutions for Improving Learning Skills in Children and Teens by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

he professional, passionate team at Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC) and the FAY Center are firm believers that learning difficulties don’t have to be permanent. “Sometimes we cross our fingers and hope that the new school year will be different, but it’s rare that change happens without true intervention,” shared owner Maria Bagby. This philosophy is the essence of both TLC and the new FAY Center. According to Maria, traditional tutoring addresses the immediate problem but does not correct the cause of the challenge. When a child is

struggling in school, it is painful for the student and for the family. Difficulties in school can affect self-esteem in all aspects of a child’s life. TLC’s innovative approach can significantly improve a student’s learning skills because it addresses the root cause of a child’s learning difficulties. “The investment in identifying and strengthening the underlying skills is uniquely different than educational therapy and tutoring. It’s a short-term investment for a lifetime of change,” shared Maria. A lifetime of change – the FAY Center helps to further strengthen that concept.

There are many adolescents – more than people realize – that have difficulty navigating their changing environments as they move from middle school to high school to college. The FAY Center was created to help these young people manage their growing list of responsibilities. It’s all about using the energy adolescents have and harnessing it in a direction that helps them thrive. Sometimes, that direction just needs to come from someone other than a parent. The FAY Center offers one-on-one and small group mentoring, executive functioning and life skills

training specifically designed for pre-teens and adolescents. The center also offers regular events with speakers on topics such as “Parenting an Electronic Generation” and “Why Doesn’t My Child Turn in Their Homework?” The team at TLC and the FAY Center know that by making changes in underlying learning skills, students don’t have to struggle in school. This realization is what prompted Maria to leave the educational system and establish TLC, and the FAY Center. TLC has actually expanded three times since its establishment in 2012. “We have facilitated 17 children exiting special education and many others from falling behind so much that – Maria Bagby, owner they would qualify,” said Maria. TLC is described as a “safe haven” for students. All programs are individualized based on each student’s needs and are designed to be fun and life-changing. Both TLC and the FAY Center work not only with students that have learning disabilities but with any student who faces academic challenges. ¢

Is this your child? • Takes too long to do homework • Says “huh?” or “what?” often • Misses social cues and interrupts • Has a hard time paying attention in school • Has difficulty in reading, writing, or math • Has ADHD but you don’t want to medicate him/her

“Sometimes we cross our fingers and hope that the new school year will be different, but it’s rare that change happens without true intervention.”

Is this your teenager? • Has difficulty completing homework • Hard on themselves • Has missing assignments • Grades affected from being unorganized • Defensive about school • Depressed, anxious, or low self-esteem • Lacking direction

THE LEARNING CONTINUUM

Is this you or your family? • Conﬂicts about homework • Spending hours doing homework with your child • Experiencing difficulty in parent-child relationships

If you and your child can relate to any of these scenarios, TLC or the Fay Center can help make a change.

The Woman’s Club of Carlsbad Is Dedicated to Lifting Up Others photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

The members of the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad share their time and talents to enrich the lives of fellow Carlsbad residents by supporting local organizations, awarding scholarships, and providing supplies and money to groups in need. As one of the oldest philanthropic and social organizations in the community, the club has seen much change and growth, but their focus remains the same: to better serve the community to the best of their combined abilities. Read along to discover more as we chat with Co-President Wendy Schuster.

Q&A with Co-President

Wendy Schuster What is the history behind the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? When and why was it originally founded? Founded in 1925 and incorporated by the national General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad (WCC) just celebrated 90 years of service to the local and global community. WCC is one of the oldest philanthropic and social organizations in Carlsbad but its roots are in philanthropic service to individuals and groups.

Woman’s Club of Carlsbad President At-A-Glance

Name: Wendy Schuster Profession: Real estate mortgage broker Community: Carlsbad Hobbies & Interests: Golf, camping, spending time with family and friends Favorite Places to Visit in Carlsbad: Tamarack Beach Walk, Carlsbad restaurants and shops

What is the mission of the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? How does the club go about fulfilling this mission? The WCC is a philanthropic women’s organization dedicated to strengthening our community and enhancing the lives of others and ourselves through volunteer service. WCC members donate their time, talents, and treasures to work on projects that assist individuals and groups related to children, the elderly, animals, the arts, and the environment. To be able to donate to organizations and causes in the community in a monetary way, WCC holds many fundraisers throughout the year.

Is the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad affiliated with any larger organizations? We are affiliated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs (CFWC), who provide direction and focus on projects of interest to their leaders.

24 • 92011 MAGAZINE.COM • November | December 2016

How did you personally become involved with WCC? I had recently moved to the Carlsbad area and was invited by a friend to become involved in the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad. I have been a member since 2001.

What is your current role within the organization, and what duties does it entail? I am a president at this time. A president’s job is to oversee the operations of a club and to keep the board members and the membersat-large motivated and organized to continue forth with their projects and interests to better serve our community. We rely on other board members as well who have volunteered their time to oversee certain segments within our club such as membership, ways and means, philanthropy, etc.

What is the most rewarding thing about your role? The most challenging? The most rewarding thing about being the president is to see women of all ages, nationalities, and beliefs come together to help other human beings in our community. I believe the most challenging role is to keep focused on taking time out of our everyday, busy lives to continue being involved with the club, and making sure that every club member feels special and included in the activities of our club, and that the club as a whole continues to thrive so that it can continue to contribute to the organizations to which we support.

How has the organization grown and changed over the years? Oh yes, we have grown. We are now 84 members strong. I believe the club has simply grown stronger as reflected by the women who belong to this club. They are all strong women who strive to enrich their own lives and those around them by giving of their time and energy to help others. In the 1960s when the WCC Clubhouse was built across the street from Carlsbad High School, the ladies gathered for lunch, performed community service, and played bridge. Today our meetings are held in the evening as a large majority of our members are working women and we now play bunco rather than bridge! A lunchtime gathering is also held for the ladies who wish to get together during the day to socialize and work on projects.

What are the primary goals of the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad, both short-term and long-term? The goals are the same for short-term and long-term – to better serve our community to the best of our combined abilities.

What have been some of the organization’s most successful projects or fundraising events? The Carlsbad Holiday Market has been our most recent successful fundraiser. In the past we have also had fundraising success with chili cook-offs, Bunco nights, casino nights, and lingerie/clothing sales events. Our ongoing projects include sewing comfort pillows for mastectomy patients, assisting Stand Up for Kids with meals for homeless teens, assisting Meals on Wheels with items and treats for seniors, and scholarships for nursing students and Carlsbad High School girls going on to college.

Are there any other projects or events that you’d like to elaborate on for our readers, either recent or upcoming? Our largest fundraising event is the Carlsbad Holiday Market. This year’s Holiday Market will be held on Nov. 5, and over 20 vendors have been invited to participate. Along with the beautiful items crafted by the talented women of WCC, our guests and the public shop for holiday, personal, fashion, and home décor items at this fun event.

How would somebody go about joining the Woman’s Club of Carlsbad? What is the criteria for membership? All woman of all ages are eligible to become members of our club. The WCC membership director this year is Donna Vanoni and she is the one to contact for membership. Information to get in touch with her or the club is on our website at www.womansclubofcarlsbad.org.

Can you describe the most gratifying aspect of serving the Carlsbad community? We are very blessed to live and work in this community. Being able to support and give back to the community in whatever way we can is very gratifying, and continues to make Carlsbad one of the best communities in which to live.

If you could grant the Woman’s Club one wish, what would it be? More fundraising income to allow our philanthropic committee to be able to assist those individuals and groups in need, and to be able to give more money for scholarship awards to graduating seniors going into college.

DENTIST PROFILE

CARLSBAD SHORES FAMILY DENTISTRY Changing the Way You Feel About Dentistry. Changing the Way You Feel About Yourself. by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Dennis Ngo

r. Sean Hariri had always wanted to open a dental practice in San Diego. “Since the moment I graduated… a part of me always wanted to move back home to have a private practice,” recalled Dr. Hariri, a San Diego native who graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. So in 2014, after nine years of co-owning two dental practices in Chicago, Dr. Hariri moved to Carlsbad. “I knew Carlsbad would become my home, and I finally found a growing and diverse community where I could build the best, most high tech modern office,” said Dr. Hariri. “I did not want to compromise on any aspect so I worked with an architect to build the best office possible, incorporating the nicest finishing touches and accents to make visiting the dentist feel good.” It’s a decision he has not regretted. Just a block from Ponto Beach, the Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry office, which opened its doors in 2015, is comfortable, private, and spacious – offering pillows, refreshments, and even Netflix – while also incorporating the latest technology and amenities. “Our office atmosphere is very welcoming and modern, and we go out of our way to make our patients feel at home,” Dr. Hariri shared. With patient satisfaction as their number one goal, the Carlsbad

Shores Family Dentistry team is proud to offer high-quality dental care using the most advanced equipment available including lasers, stateof-the-art dental implant systems, and orthodontic systems. Dr. Hariri explained, “Our practice foundation is education of the patient first, then guidance as to the best option, and finally the best delivered care using the highest grade materials. We all know that visiting the dentist can cause anxiety or nervousness, but our office design and our team go out of their way to take the anxiety away. In fact, many of our patients are impressed by the fact that they never feel any pain.” One such patient, Elizabeth B., commented, “They are always concerned about your level of comfort and truly are the epitome of professional. I usually dread going to the dentist but I always feel very comfortable and confident in their care.” With all five-star reviews on Google and Yelp, it is clear that Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry’s focus on patient care has been noticed and their fan base is quickly growing. Dr. Hariri said, “We take extreme pride in being a part of Carlsbad and the surrounding neighborhoods. We hope that patients will choose Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry because with us community members can have a family dental practice that will be with them over the course of a lifetime.” ¢

KIDS FOR PEACE HELPS OPEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN KENYA

ith about 30 volunteers ranging from nine-yearold children to retired school teachers, Carlsbad-based organization Kids for Peace helped open an elementary school in the remote village of Mikei, Kenya. Before Kids for Peace was involved, most children in Mikei were not able to attend school. The existing school was usually a makeshift structure that would often change locations each year, with few supplies and inconsistent learning. The group had already raised money for the building materials and labor so that when they arrived the building was complete. They brought one ton of supplies to fill the classrooms, including books, puzzles, art materials, sports equipment, games, dolls, blocks, and notebooks. They painted murals, built a playground, planted fruit trees, hung pictures, and stocked the classrooms and library with the supplies they had brought. They also hired four teachers and other staff to upkeep the facility. The new school is now in a permanent location with desks and plenty of supplies to support up to 200 students. “The

most rewarding part of the trip was meeting all the kids in Mikei, getting to know them and their families, and learning about the Kenyan culture,” said Kids for Peace volunteer Shawdi Amini. “The people of Mikei were very kind and led a peaceful life. They didn’t have much but always wore a big smile on their face.” Kids for Peace is a global nonprofit organization that provides a platform for young people to actively engage in socially conscious leadership, community service, arts, environmental stewardship, and global friendship. It began right here in Carlsbad 10 years ago. Learn more at www.kidsforpeaceglobal.org. ¢

UNLEASHED IN SAN DIEGO

Explore the City With Your Pooch For a Doggone Good Time

by SHYANNE LOPEZ

he only thing San Diegans might enjoy more than beaches, burritos, and brews is enjoying all of those things with man's best friend. Let's face it, it's tough to stay indoors in a city like San Diego. It's even tougher to leave your dog behind to miss out on the adventure. Luckily, America's Finest City might also be one of America's most dog-friendly cities. From North County to downtown, local dog owners are constantly discovering outdoor and indoor destinations where they can be accompanied by their four-legged friend. So, if you're looking to have some fun this fall with your pup, grab the leash and check out some of the dog-friendly activities we've put together – they'll have Fido's tail wagging in no time.

SAND AND SURF

HOWLING GOOD HIKES

BREWS AND BITES

MEETUPS FOR PUPS

Beach days are not just for us – our canine companions love the waves too! For San Diego dog owners, there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches to choose from. From Del Mar Dog Beach to Coronado to the "Original Dog Beach" in Ocean Beach, there is no shortage of beaches to let your dog off-leash for some fun in the sun. Want to make your beach trip even more memorable? Sign you and your pup up for some surf or stand up paddle boarding lessons!

A key to keeping your dog happy and healthy is exercise. Not only does it keep dogs in peak physical condition but it also keeps their minds active. Many owners, especially those without a yard, know all too well the consequences of a bored dog. So get outside and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of local trails with your furry friend. Balboa Park, San Elijo Lagoon, and Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve are just some of the dog-friendly local hiking spots.

Tired from an afternoon of hiking or beach-going? Grab you and your pup some refreshments at any of the dog-friendly breweries throughout San Diego. Relax with a cold one while your dog enjoys some attention and treats of their own. Mission Brewery, Mother Earth Brew Co., and Bagby Beer Company are among some of the most dog-loving brew houses. Not interested in beer? San Diego boasts a variety of dog-friendly restaurants and cafés – just take your pick.

One of the most fun aspects of being a dog owner is interacting and making friends with other owners and their dogs. While this can easily be done at a dog park, one of the most sure-fire ways to get some doggie play-dates scheduled is by attending a dog meetup. Meetups can vary in design from breed-specific to muttinclusive to hiking or Pokémon GO dog walkers, so be sure to choose the meetup that is right for you and your dog. Look for meetups in your area at www.meetup.com.

A Look Back at Our Results by AL REX, Realtor

n the real estate world of Southern California, the spring and summer months are always the busiest times – and account for most of our home sales. It’s also a great time to gauge how your market is doing. So what’s our report card? We’ve recorded another strong year of appreciation for the fourth consecutive year, coming in at 5.8% in our 92011 zip code. Across San Diego County, average home prices are up 6.0%. Since hitting rock bottom in 2012, home values have risen consistently each year, growing a very strong 36% over four years in 92011, and over 53% across the county. The catalyst behind our continued growth in home values can be channeled back to two areas: for the second

year in a row, the number of homes for sale continues to decline, with an 8.9% decline in homes for sale from the previous year, which was already 15% lower compared to 2014. In addition, continued low mortgage rates provide motivation for home buyers to purchase now and not risk waiting to buy. As a result, with the inventory of homes being low, and the demand to purchase being high, our knowledge of economics 101 leads to a result of a rise in home values, currently sitting at $955,000 for

single family homes in 92011. So what’s the forecast for the next six months? In April, we forecasted a strong summer and we did recognize very good results. Most of the industry experts I’ve consulted feel that if the inventory of homes continues to remain low, prices may still rise modestly – even through the fall and winter months. Of course, the same experts also warn that if the Federal Reserve does make good on its promise to raise interest rates (even 0.25%), that could slow down any growth. ¢

JR was extremely good at communicating throughout the entire selling process. He was always available via text, email, phone, or in person. What impresses me about JR is that he is able to sell a home through the buyers’ eye, meaning that he looks at details that potential buyers find important. We had an excellent experience with JR and we highly recommend him. John & Mary Lou W.
