Vol. 1, No. 1 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Community. Family. Fun. We all live in this part of San Diego County because these things are important to us. And 92011 Magazine reflects the same ideals and interests… Whether it’s details on one of the premiere soccer programs in the county (page 26), or getting to know your neighbors (page 18), or celebrating the best of our local youth (page 14), we plan to give you – in every issue – a slice of the lifestyle you love. You can sample a local resident’s favorite recipe for a backyard cookout, learn about close-to-home outdoor fun spots, and find out about a lot of people who live and work right here in your neighborhood. Plus, you’ll see lots of names and faces of local residents playing, attending local events, and enjoying the good life in 92011. By picking up the latest issue of 92011 Magazine – or checking out www.92011magazine.com – you can know everything going on in the area, from the school schedules to special events, from youth sports to clubs and organizations. And we encourage you to tell us what you think, what you want to see and read in your local publication, and always offer suggestions on who and what we should put in the local spotlight. 92011 Magazine is the ultimate symbol of LOCAL. Published by ZCode Magazines located in North San Diego County, 92011 is written by local writers specifically for local readers. The photographers are local. The content is local. It is even printed locally. Our number one goal is to produce a community magazine specifically for you that you actually want to read. If it’s happening here in 92011, we plan to be a part of it. Because, just like you, we’re neighbors too. It’s a community thing! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher P.S. Check out the new ZGlass app (see page 11). It’s a pretty cool experience.

Teen’s Memory Lives on and Inspires Others by MICHELLE TREMBLAY
T
he 8 th annual Eric Sears “Life is an Adventure” Memorial 5K Run/Walk an event that raises money for academic scholarships awarded to graduating seniors from Carlsbad High School and to athletes from the School’s Cross Country Team – will take place on August 18, at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad, with a 5k Run/Walk commencing at 10 a.m. Following the race, participants can partake in a silent auction, enjoy live music and eat fresh fish tacos. Race day registration begins at 9 a.m. and is $35. “Since its inception in 2005, the Eric Sears Memorial Scholarship has awarded $51,000 to eligible seniors of Carlsbad High School,” said Tom Sears, father of Eric Sears and founder of the Eric Sears Memorial “Life is an Adventure” 5k race. “It is a rewarding experience to assist these college bound student athletes as they continue their educational journey.” “The Eric Sears Memorial 5k was established by family and friends that were touched by Eric’s life and life story,” explained Tom. “Eric was a compassionate, caring friend to all and whose smile will shine in our hearts forever.” And indeed his memory lives on. As a four-year letterman for Carlsbad High School’s Cross Country team, Eric’s joy
of running proved to be a motivation to others. To this day, the School celebrates his life by presenting an award to the team’s “Most Inspirational” athlete. The theme for this year’s race, “Life is an Adventure,” was inspired by one of Eric’s essays. “Life is a grand and wonderful adventure, if you let it be,” he wrote. “Life was meant to be lived, not to be worked away, as time goes right out the window. Don’t be so caught up in the things that you cannot control, and embrace the simple pleasures. Take a walk, sit outside on a clear night, and watch the sunset, anything to take you away from the hustle of our incessantly busy lives.” The event is sponsored by The Optimist Club of Carlsbad, The Running Center, and many local volunteers. ¢

Lifelong Educator Dr. Suzette Lovely Brings Experience and a Passion for Education to New Position

r. Suzette Lovely is a lifelong educator who is looking forward to the many opportunities and challenges that await her as the newly appointed Carlsbad Unified School District Superintendent. “Carlsbad Unified has dedicated and passionate employees and a highly educated and supportive school board. I feel fortunate and genuinely honored to lead this high-achieving district,” stated Dr. Lovely. As superintendent, Dr. Lovely plans to lay the foundation for a strategic initiative to improve student achievement and close the gap for those students who are underrepresented or struggling. She also intends to continue providing professional development to teachers without shrinking revenues and resources. “When teachers continue to grow and refine skills and deliver best practices, student achievement will go up proportionately,” explained Dr. Lovely. Dr. Lovely is committed to branding Carlsbad Unified School District as one of the best school districts in California. She also hopes to continue the legacy of her predecessor, Dr. John Roach. “Dr. Roach did a great job with the district and with getting Proposition P passed so that we could
Name: Age: Title: Family: Education:
modernize all of our schools and build a new high school – Sage Creek – which is projected to open in August 2013. Dr. Roach has been extremely helpful in bringing me up to speed on everything,” remarked Dr. Lovely. With 29 years of experience in the education field, Dr. Lovely is passionate about ensuring that students receive the best education possible. She began her career as a teacher and then moved to the administrative side as a principal, director of elementary schools and deputy superintendent. According to Dr. Lovely, she has known that she wanted to be an educator since she was a child. “I played school as a young girl with my bedroom as my makeshift classroom. When I entered college, I knew by my junior year that I wanted to pursue a teaching credential.” Dr. Lovely and her husband, Jon, are avid travelers and have been to every continent at least twice with the exception of Antarctica. A native Southern Californian, Dr. Lovely enjoys running and has recently taken up standup paddle boarding. “I would like to get more involved in the sport of standup paddle boarding. It is a great thing to do with friends. And although I used to compete in triathlons, now I run for fun and to stay in shape.” ¢

ou’ve heard it over and over again. The three words that send chills down the spines of publishers everywhere.
“Print is dead.”
The words have merit – but not in the sense that most people think of while reading about it in an online blog on the subject. I recently read an (online) article about why traditional media companies need to start thinking like Silicon Valley tech start-ups. It blasted companies for putting their content behind paywalls or removing digital content altogether. It went on to praise several print (and other media) companies who have successfully transformed the industry and set the bar for print and online content and products. You may have noticed several “badges” in 92011 Magazine (like the one in the top right corner of this page). These let you know that there is even more to the story than what’s on the page. Simply download our new app ZGlass and point it at the page. ZGlass is an augmented reality viewer app we produced to literally bring the pages of 92011 Magazine to life. Watch as articles and advertisements jump off the page into interactive videos, slideshows, internet links and exclusive content. We’re doing something here that is revolutionary. Readers of 92011 Magazine have the ability to be on the ground floor for an entirely new way of turning your local, tangible magazine into an awe-inspiring showcase for the students, families and businesses all around us. If you do one thing with this magazine, make sure to use ZGlass and point it at the cover to see the page transform into a behind the scenes look at the making of 92011 Magazine and our debut feature on Carlsbad Lightning Soccer Club. You will not be disappointed. With our print publications growing at an unprecedented pace, adding new and exciting ZGlass technology allows us to pack in even more local content into each printed and online issue. Readers of 92011 Magazine are able to experience a technology that is not available on this level anywhere in the country. The next time you hear someone say that “print is dead”, simply pull this issue of 92011 Magazine out, launch your ZGlass app on your smartphone or tablet and show them that print in 92011 is just starting to come to life. ¢

Creating Excellence Pacific Academy’s Natalie Chen is Thriving in America by KATHY LOY | photo by Soul of Photography
T
he high school years are full of excitement and challenges for many students, but those of Yi-Ning (Natalie) Chen are unique. Natalie entered Pacific Academy in Encinitas as a sophomore and starts her senior year this fall. As a native of China, she sees many differences between her neighborhoods here in Carlsbad and her home in Taiwan. Natalie explains, “The environment, people and the cultures are different in many ways. One of the differences is living without my family, which provides me an opportunity to be independent and help me go further and build my character.” The Principal at Pacific Academy, Erika Sanchez, thinks Natalie sets a strong example. “I have long been impressed by her intelligence, creativity, motivation, kindness, integrity and leadership. She quickly and effortlessly adapted at our school, and once she gained mastery and confidence with the English language, she graciously transitioned into her role as a school leader. She not only gets excellent grades, she is also a mentor and role-model to her peers by displaying how one can use their gifts and talents to give back,” explained Principal Sanchez.
“
I have learned how important it is to adapt to this new environment by always trying and learning new things. – Natalie Chen

”
At Pacific Academy, students are promised the “opportunity to be me” in having their natural abilities developed and nurtured. Natalie says the small class sizes, “family feeling” and caring faculty have helped develop her love of art and photography. “PA has taught me that school is not only a place to learn academics, but also a place to show and further pursue our wonderful gifts and talents,” said Natalie. Natalie earned the Top Artist award for the 2011-2012 school year and has done community service work in the U.S. and Guatemala. She also created the school yearbooks and newsletters, and was a finalist in the “Feed Your Greedy Organ” contest at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

Studying in America has given me the gift of a strong spirit of adventure. – Natalie Chen
Back in China, Natalie has a 20-year old sister, Yian, who is majoring in Diplomacy. “While I miss her, I know we are both having good experiences that we enjoy discussing,” she said. “Studying in America has given me the gift of a strong spirit of adventure. I have learned how important it is to adapt to this new environment by always trying and learning new things,” said Natalie. It’s safe to say that Natalie has adapted very well. ¢

W
hen you enter about the fourth hour of a long road trip, the novelty of a Dairy Queen Blizzard or McDonald’s french fries starts to wear off. Packaged peanut butter crackers and gas station candy selections just won’t cut it anymore. This ultimate road trip trail mix recipe is full of classic ingredients. Of course, the best part about trail mix is that the possibilities of ingredients are endless and can be catered to your own preferences – from chocolate to nuts to fruit – anything goes! This is our take on a homemade favorite.
TRAIL MIX FACTS
• Trail Mix is also known as ‘GORP’ - ‘good old raisins and peanuts’ • Some claim that trail mix was first invented in 1968 by two California surfers who blended peanuts and raisins together for an energy snack. • The first literary mention of trail mix dates back to Jack Kerouac’s 1958 novel The Dharma Bums where the two main characters describe their planned meals in their preparation for a hiking trip. • Trail Mix made news this year when Sony Pictures Entertainment suggested trail mix along with other better-for-you foods for movie theater concession stands instead of candy. ¢

he Rausa family has successfully combined a fun, easygoing disposition with a competitive, exercise-oriented mentality. Mike and Laura actually met at a party for basketball players, which both of them were, at the reputed “party school” of Chico State. Eventually both completed their degrees elsewhere – Mike got a Managerial Economics degree from UC Davis, and Laura got an Exercise Physiology degree from Point Loma Nazarene University. Mike now works as a realtor for Bell and Associates Realty Group, and Laura works three days a week as an orthopedic physician assistant, which enables her to devote time to her brood (Jordan, 6, Ella, 4, and Zoe, 2). Though Laura has lived in Encinitas since she was eight and still has extended family living locally, Mike hailed from Virginia. “Thank goodness it wasn’t too hard of a sell to end up here,” Laura confessed, adding, “we chose Carlsbad because of the coastal location and

“We love the beachy, laidback attitude and lifestyle!” – Laura Rausa Mike and Laura are also passionate about triathlons. Laura elaborated, “Triathlons have been a fun way to keep our competitive juices going and get in some really tough workouts. At our most recent race, the Carlsbad Triathlon, Mike beat me by 42 seconds! Grrrr!” The Rausa children have been influenced by their active parents. Laura exclaimed, “My kids are involved in basketball [naturally!], soccer, swimming, gymnastics, and imagination camps.” In addition, Jordan enjoys Star Wars and Legos; Ella loves dancing and playing dress up; and Zoe “is all about doing whatever Jordan and Ella do” Laura laughed. Describing her home life, Laura stated, “I feel like every day with our family is funny. It’s like an entertaining circus!” In fact, a favorite Friday night activity for the parents is to simply watch their children sing, have a dance party, play charades, or tell jokes. Mike added, “We think we have the most hilarious kids!" ¢

Carlsbad wellness weekend kicked off in early July with the Community Wellness Expo at Westfield Plaza Camino Real. The next day, the 31st annual Carlsbad Triathlon, presented by the City of Carlsbad, took place near Tamarack State Beach. With more than 60 vendors, the Community Wellness Expo featured products and services like blood donation, meditation and stress management, and beauty and pet products. In addition, Shred-It and AVR Recycling were on hand to offer residents a free way to de-clutter their lives. Rachael Shay, special events supervisor for the City of Carlsbad, said the Community Wellness Expo offered something for everyone who wanted to spruce up their health, homes and lives. The Carlsbad Triathlon began at Tamarack Surf Beach, and included a 1K open-water swim, followed by a 25K bike course and a 5K run, which followed the coastline of Carlsbad, past scenic beaches, lagoons and a wildlife preserve. “A lot of work went into organizing the Carlsbad Triathlon and the Expo, and said their success was in part due to the 229 volunteers who donated countless hours,” relayed Shay.

“Art from the Heart”, the Jewel of Thursday Night
The 10 Hr Art Gallery presented the City of Carlsbad with a gift of art awareness and community fellowship, in late July during the Art Walk. A unique five-day art show at the 10 Hr Art Gallery mixed works of 18 professional artists, TERI developmentally challenged students, and The Stardust Arts, to raise funds for TERI Campus of Life arts program. The “Art from the Heart” exhibit was held at the temporary gallery located at the Carlsbad Village Faire and sponsored the non-profits with a unique and unusual exhibition, drawing crowds of curious people, welcoming participation in communicative art. The Stardust Arts is funded by donations and obtainable grants, providing underserved children with the development of creativity and imagination. “What a mind can do when it does not have to live in this world, it’s an amazing achievement that both organizations experience some of the similar components,” stated Cheryl Ehlers, Art Director of The Stardust Arts.

The Kind of Service You Hope For The Expert Treatment You Need Dr. Roncone, a Harvard-trained orthodontist, has been putting smiles on clients’ faces for over forty years, and is world renown for his contributions to the field. “We attempt to make each patient visit the best experience they will have that day,” said Dr. Roncone. He’s accomplished this feat in a variety of ways. The office is beautifully-appointed with

The level of customer service is second to none.” An expert on the latest orthodontic treatments and innovations, Dr. Roncone has lectured in every state and 56 countries, but he thrives on his work with patients. As colleague Dr. R.B. of Florida put it, “Ron runs his course the way he is trying to teach us to run our practice. Always deliver an excellent product, in an excellent manner, and then give the patient (customer) much more than they are expecting.” ¢

How does a business or family sponsor a team? Who are the current League sponsors? We have family sponsorships on the recreational side. Families and small businesses can sponsor a team and have their names on the back of their shirts. We are currently looking for a sponsor for our competitive team. We really need a corporate sponsor. This sponsor would be represented on a national basis.
Does CLSC hold any fundraisers? We have different fundraisers throughout the year. Opening Day is one of the biggest. Our tournaments bring in a lot as well. Our financial aid program gives back over $85K to players who are unable to afford to play at a competitive level.
How does one get involved with volunteering with CLSC? We have a contact on the website. If you want to volunteer, please visit clsc. us. Someone from the club will reach out to them to see where they can dedicate their efforts.
What is the most rewarding part of being Director? By far, just watching kids being better people. Watching kids go to college and be successful in the field they choose. It’s not about soccer. Soccer is the tool for making people better people. Making young children be young adults and go on to be successful parents. We have six coaches who went on to college, got degrees and then came back to our Club and now coach at our Club. That is so rewarding for me as the Director and as their mentor.
To whom, specifically, do you have to thank for the success of the club? Courtney Chinn was the guy who gave us our right to start this club off. He was our first president. He mentored us and started our program. Unfortunately, he passed eight years ago from cancer. He was the ultimate soccer parent, the ultimate parent in general. He was the ultimate true person who I looked up to more than anyone. What he did with Lightning, the Federation, Presidio, kids, families, volunteers was unbelievable. He was a fantastic individual who I cannot speak highly enough of. He was the guy who put his faith in us. He refused to let us go under. Without him our club wouldn’t exist.
What is the most unique thing about CLSC’s program compared to others of similar nature? We have three Directors who have continually worked together for 15 years. They know this program inside and out. It’s rare to be able to see three people work hand in hand for so long. We have the same vision and the same goals. We are always confident that our club has our vision in mind at all times. The turnover in clubs as far as director’s and assistant directors is huge. We have been the only three who have stuck together. Also, our Board…no one can match us on their dedication and zest for the club or even come close. ¢

Fire-Breathing DRAGONS Join the Greatest Show on Earth ®
by KATHY LOY
T
here are certain events that mark a childhood - experiences that kids remember for a lifetime. A trip to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is certainly one of those, and even San Diegans who’ve seen the circus before have yet to see a show like this. Firebreathing, flying, fantastical DRAGONS have joined the Greatest Show on Earth®! The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is bringing San Diegans a legendary once-in-a-millennium event celebrating the year of the dragon. Some of the extraordinary performers include: • The Shaolin Warriors with their Kung Fu martial arts. • Alexander Lacey, making his U.S. debut presents the only mixed-cat act of its kind with tigers and lions together. • Cossack Riders who amaze with their equestrian acrobatics. • The Flying Caceres who perform on the only double-decker trapeze in the world. • Plus daredevil motorcyclists in the Globe
of Steel, the Russian Bar Renegades and Teeterboard Titans troupes, double motorcycle high-wire stunts, Clown Alley, the majestic Ringling Bros. Asian elephants, lions, tigers, dogs, cats, and so much more! According to Lindsay Santa, spokesperson for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey® Circus, be sure to arrive early. “Come one hour before show time for each performance to meet our performers and animals on the show floor at the interactive ‘all-access pre-show’, which is free for all ticket holders. Families can take pictures and get up close to see the animals, learn juggling and balancing skills and get performer autographs,” said Lindsay. It’s a major production just getting the circus to each stop within the 90-city U.S. tour. Like circuses of yesteryear, this production travels across the country by train, averaging 350 miles between cities and preparing over 109,000 meals each year in the Pie Car, the traveling diner. The Ringling Bros. train is making a four day stop in San Diego at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly known as the Sports Arena) from Thursday, August 23 – Sunday, August

FCCSB President Bill Wisener Keeps Carlsbad Beaches Looking Beautiful
by WYNNE LOVE | photos by FCCSB.org
T
here’s no doubt that one of Carlsbad’s greatest attractions is its gorgeous beaches, and Bill Wisener is committed to keeping them that way. President of the Friends of the Cardiff and Carlsbad State Beaches (FCCSB), Bill works to ensure the grounds and facilities of the South Carlsbad, San Elijo, Ponto, Tamarack, and Carlsbad state beaches are safe, clean and accessible. “I coordinate our fundraising and volunteer efforts,” explained Bill, “while balancing our plans against the needs of California State Parks and the desires of the people who use them.” The beaches are owned and managed by the California State Parks Department, but given dwindling funding and the amazing popularity of the beaches for both day visitors and campers, the FCCSB is instrumental in keeping the beaches healthy. With Bill’s help, the FCCSB allows for programs and improvements that would otherwise
have to wait. Events like Christmas in July and the Halloween Spooktacular have helped fund multiple improvements, such as updating bathrooms and lifeguard towers and renovating Pelican Point, so its breathtaking views can be enjoyed to the fullest. Bill finds it especially rewarding to work with the many residents who give their time to the FCCSB. “Our volunteers have a real ‘giving back’ attitude about the tireless work they do to preserve the beaches through the FCCSB’s mission,” commented Bill. “We all share a common love for our beaches here in North County.” A former logistics executive, Bill has lived in La Costa Downs for over ten years. “We enjoy the easygoing and generous nature of the people living in 92011 and their passion to keep this one of the most wonderful places to live, not only in San Diego, but in the USA,” shared Bill. He and his wife, Barbara, just celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary. They have two grown sons and two grandchildren ages 3 and 7, whom they
love to take to the Zoo, LEGOLAND® and the Midway when they visit from Florida. Bill has volunteered for the FCCSB since 2010 and, according to founding board member Bill Mahoney, has been instrumental in the organization’s growth and efficacy. “I wake up every morning hoping to get more interested donors and volunteers to call us and get involved in our efforts,” said Bill.

ou’ve probably visited Torrey Pines State Beach, stretching from La Jolla to Del Mar, but if you haven’t headed up the hill, you’ve seen only a fraction of what the park has to offer. Just off Carmel Valley Road, the Torrey Pines State Reserve is actually 2,000 acres of protected land. Home to one of only two areas where the Torrey Pine grows naturally, the Reserve also includes the saltwater estuary and bird sanctuary, the beach, and neighboring sandstone cliffs. If you are one of the many San Diegans who hasn’t explored the Reserve, visiting on the weekend will make you wonder where you’ve been. The road leading up to the lodge is filled with people walking, biking and jogging their way to the top. Once you arrive, it’s not hard to see why. The adobe lodge, built as a restaurant in 1923, sits atop the bluffs with breathtaking

views to the north, east and west. The road, which rises 300 feet in less than a mile, is a popular destination for local hikers looking for a challenge, and offers beautiful views at the top and sand and surf at the bottom. The Visitor’s Center, housed in the lodge, opens daily at 9 a.m. and hosts children’s tours during the school year, junior ranger programs throughout the summer and free guided nature walks each weekend. Docents are available to help you find your way or you can explore on your own. Volunteer Frank Burham led the walk on our recent visit, sharing a wealth of information about the local flora and fauna, the geological history and the Torrey Pine, the rarest species of conifer in the U.S. Frank led us on a short, easy hike to the Red Butte bluff, where the view was spectacular and where he says one can enjoy fabulous whale-watching in the winter. ¢

n such a male dominated sport, the only women who probably come to mind when talking football are the cheerleaders on the sidelines. But the female athletes of the San Diego Surge are proving very quickly that women’s football isn’t your typical powder-puff game. The Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) was founded by Dr. Lisa and Jeff King in the spring of 2009 in order to establish North America’s highest level of women’s football. Joining a roster of 62 teams in 2011 were our hometown competitors – the San Diego Surge – and they have been making quite a name for themselves ever since. Fighting their way to be 8-0 in their first season, Owners Christina Carrillo and Melissa Gallegos are no strangers to athletic success. Christina has played women’s football since 2001 and Melissa was a
member of the 2010 USA Women’s National Team that won the gold medal in Sweden. Currently, the two have established a mission for those who represent SD Surge to strive to become better players, coaches and citizens of the communities on and off the field. The women also take pride in the bond they share between themselves and their teammates. In WFA there are no trades made between teams, so creating a solid foundation and working from the ground up is a crucial part of their league. The 2012 season championships were held in early August at Heinz Field, turf of the Pittsburgh Steelers, between the Surge and the Chicago Force. The Surge won the championship over the Chicago Force with a final score of 40-36. For more information on the San Diego Surge, visit sandiegosurge.com

:::: HOME TIPS
Ten Resources to Help Keep Your Home and Family Safe from Fire by WYNNE LOVE
F
or longtime residents of Southern California, the arrival of fall brings memories of wildfires as much as it does apple-picking and holiday gatherings. That should come as no surprise according to the local fire department, since a third of all homes in San Diego County are located in what they call Wildland Urban Interface. Here we’ve compiled advice from local firefighters and their best online resources in order to help you stay safe this season. 1. Maintain 100 feet of defensible space around your home. Chief Jim Sturtevant of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District confirms that this is one of the most important steps homeowners can take in preparation for wildfire season. Removing all flammable materials and keeping vegetation well-watered and properly trimmed around the home is critical to keeping fire at bay. Access the City of San Diego guide to fire safety and brush management at wildfirelessons.net/documents/ San_Diego_Fire_brushpdf.pdf. Detailed advice based on the latest research is also available at www.californiachaparral.com/ bprotectingyourhome.html. 2. Secure your home. Many of the homes felled by the Cedar Fire of 2003 and Witch Creek Fire of 2007 were victims of flying embers. Closing all windows and doors is crucial. See additional tips at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/ dplu/fire_resistant.html, www.rsf-fire.org/prepare/ menulist.html and firesafemendocino.org/articles/ embers.html. 3. Keep copies of important documents off premises and store paper and digital files in a place where you can grab them quickly. For a list of documents you’ll want to protect, visit ww.emergencydude.com/emergency-documents.shtml. 4. Know how to secure your utilities: sdge.com/fire-emergencies. 5. Register on Alert San Diego. Many of us don’t have landlines anymore. If you haven’t already, register your cell phone or e-mail for reverse 911 notifications at www.readysandiego.org/alertsandiego.

6. Plan an escape route and a rendezvous point. Visit www.readysandiego.org for tips on every type of disaster preparedness. 7. Discuss and practice evacuating with your family. Reassure children that if they are at school, they will be kept there until it is safe for you to pick them up. See www.theredguidetorecovery. com for disaster management tips and resources. 8. Keep a full tank of gas in the car. 9. Prepare an emergency survival kit. Numerous resources exist online to help you purchase or prepare your own kit. Visit californiavolunteers.org/familyplan/pdf/supplies_checklist.pdf for a 3-day survival list, www.readysandiego.org/resources/ checklist_1.pdf, or www.sandiego.gov/fire/safety/tips/ emergencykit.shtml for additional suggestions. 10. Download your own “Family Disaster Plan and Survival Guide” from ReadySanDiego.org and discuss this “burning issue” with your friends and neighbors. ¢
USS Midway Museum Volunteers Share the “Midway Magic” with Visitors by JENNIFER FRANKES | photo by Robert Genat
V
isitors to the USS Midway Museum are sure to be impressed by the sheer size of the aircraft carrier itself, as well as the dozens of exhibits, activities and tours that are available onboard. According to Laurie Switzer, Director of Volunteer Programs for the USS Midway Museum, another impressive aspect of the museum is the volunteer corps, a dedicated group of men and women who assist the staff in sharing the story of the USS Midway and those who served aboard the carrier during its 50year commission. “The volunteer corps is integral to the general operations and continued success of the museum. Some departments are run almost exclusively by volunteers,” declared Switzer. As stated by Switzer, the USS Midway Museum seeks volunteers to help preserve the legacy of those who serve, inspire future generations and educate, as well as entertain, more than one million visitors a year. The environment onboard the USS Midway has been described as
having “Midway Magic” and the volunteers strive to keep the magic alive for each and every visitor. “The phrase ‘Midway Magic’ began showing up in the USS Midway cruise books in the 1960s. It is believed to be a crew slogan – a rallying cry for those onboard,” explained Switzer. In 2011, volunteers contributed over 200,000 hours, which is comparable to over 104 full-time staff members. Currently, over 600 volunteers participate on a monthly basis. “Out of those 600 volunteers, over 100 are from North County,” said Switzer. USS Midway Museum volunteers receive benefits such as parking privileges and café and gift shop discounts, but Switzer stated that most volunteers cite giving back to the community as their motivation for participating. “There is also strong camaraderie among the volunteers, as well as a sense of pride in what the USS Midway represents and what has been accomplished,” revealed Switzer. ¢ For more information about how to become a volunteer at the USS Midway Museum, please visit www.midway.org.

Short Sales, Foreclosures and Loan Mods Taxable? by SCOTT VOAK
T
his issue, I want to make you aware of some potential changes to the tax implications for a short sale, foreclosure and loan modification. When a lender loses money on a loan because they foreclosed, accepted a short sale, or modified the principal, they file for a loss on their taxes – and send you a 1099 for the offsetting gain. The gain is called Debt Relief Income and it is taxable. However, as long as certain conditions are met (mainly that the home is your primary residence and the loan does not exceed the purchase price + improvements), both the state and federal governments have waived these taxes. That waiver is set to end on December 31, 2012. It other words, if you owe $600,000 on your home and the bank only achieves $500,000 through either a foreclosure or short sale that closes next year, not only do you lose your home, but you will have to show an extra $100,000 in income and pay taxes on it. While it may seem better to short sell or foreclose on your home now than pay the taxes next year, there may be other options. No two situations are the same and you should get professional advice to put together a plan that specifically addresses your needs. I have assembled a team with a bankruptcy attorney, credit repair attorney and a CPA to help people determine the best course of action. Consultations are free, so if you would like to meet to discuss options, please give me a call. ¢
