Derrick Breaux

Oh, to Be Young Again!

hen I published my first community magazine, our oldest daughter was in the eighth grade. Our son was in kindergarten, and our youngest daughter hadn’t yet started school. The strange thing is that it feels like 2009 was just yesterday. Fast forward, and our oldest daughter is now a senior in college, our son is an eighth grader, and our youngest daughter is in seventh grade. As you know, I often write about time flying by. This past weekend marked another milestone for the Breaux household. Ashley, our oldest daughter, celebrated her 21st birthday! Much to our surprise, Ashley invited us to go out with her group of friends on her special night in downtown San Diego. After repeatedly asking her if she was sure about having her parents tag along, my wife and I reluctantly agreed to go (along with another lifelong friend of ours that Ashley refers to as Aunt Wendy). We needed another adult from our generation for moral support. The group started at a count of 15 people. We all had dinner at a restaurant downtown before Ubering to the first club. The intentions were to stick around for a little while and then head out. That plan didn’t work out so well, as we ended up staying for the duration of the evening. The night was filled with a variety of emotions. I was observing our baby girl in her adult environment for the very first time. Although we were very much interacting with the group, at times I felt like a fly on the wall – silently observing and taking in the entire experience. She was having a great time Derrick and his daughter Ashley circa 2005. Time flies! with her close friends, laughing, dancing, and celebrating. More of Ashley’s friends kept arriving. Some arrivals were clearly unexpected and a special surprise to her. The entire situation touched our hearts. There was one common theme – everyone was there to celebrate with her on her special day. It was at that moment that I realized our baby girl was grown up. Although some may see it as unconventional, we had a great time celebrating with our daughter and her friends that night. I would like to give a special thanks to Ashley’s friends for being such an important part of her life and enthusiastically welcoming us old people into their circle. I still don’t feel like I’m a “grown up” yet. In many aspects, I still feel the same way that I felt when I was a teenager. But make no mistake about it, watching my baby girl turn 21 years old definitely puts me one step closer in my search to feel grown up. Oh, to be young again…

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Mia Karvounis Shares Her Love for Creative Expression With Fellow Students by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

ia Karvounis is known for always carrying a book, sketchbook, and colored pencils with her wherever she goes. “I enjoy reading, writing, and drawing, but my favorite hobby and greatest passion is singing. I love to express myself through music and I hope to make a career out of it someday,” revealed Mia. After she graduates high school, Mia hopes to attend a college for the performing arts and then pursue a career in music and maybe even sing and act on Broadway one day. One of the ways Mia shares her passion for the arts with others is through her involvement in Sage Creek’s annual Festival of the Arts. The Festival of the Arts is a celebration of visual and performing arts that showcases musical and dance performances, artwork displays, and other activities such as sidewalk chalk art. “For last year’s Festival of the Arts, I made posters, helped decorate for the event, and worked on publicity. My mom even made baked goods for the bake sale! I was so proud when I saw it all come together,” related Mia. According to her, one of her favorite aspects of the event is that it allows the spotlight to shine on the arts and on the talented artists, musicians, dancers, actors, and other performers that attend Sage Creek. “I really enjoy the sense of community and school spirit at Sage Creek. Everyone is there to support each other and improve the school to make it even greater than it already is,” said Mia proudly. In addition to Festival of the Arts, Mia is also involved in other activities that focus on the arts. During her freshman year at Sage Creek, she performed a scene from On Golden Pond at the Café Bobcat and was in the teen chorus for the production of Bye Bye Birdie. “I just love the arts because they give you a way to express yourself and your feelings, whether it is through a painting, a song, a dance, or a scene in a play,” stated Mia, who is continuing her involvement in the arts by taking classes in drama, dance, and concert choir at Sage Creek. ¢

GI Film Festival

MILITARY-FOCUSED FILM FESTIVAL EXPANDS TO NORTH COUNTY

he GI Film Festival San Diego is back for its third consecutive year to bring the stories of America’s military to life through film. It is one of the few film festivals in the entire United States to exclusively feature stories for, by, and about military service members and veterans. The opening night screening and reception will take place in Balboa Park at the Museum of Photographic Arts on Oct. 18, and this year the festival expands to North County with screenings in Carlsbad on Oct.19. Additional festival highlights include the popular Family Movie Night on the USS Midway Museum on Oct. 20, as well as additional screenings, filmmaker appearances, panel discussions, and more on Oct. 21 and 22. Films selected for this year’s GI Film Festival San Diego feature diverse stories with themes ranging from women in the military, resiliency and recovery, transitioning, and the LGBTQ+ community. Selections also highlight military experiences from within Hispanic,

African American, and Asian cultures. Also returning this year is the popular Local Film Showcase, which highlights San Diego’s long and important military history. “It’s great to see more and more local filmmakers being featured in the festival,” said Jodi Cilley, founder of the Film Consortium San Diego and organizer of the Local Film Showcase. “I’m excited to feature their work and present some of San Diego’s most exceptional heroes on the big screen for a local audience.” All festival events will be open to the public with special discounted opportunities for active duty personnel and veterans.

Beyond Baby Fat 5 Tips to Prevent Childhood Obesity

by JULIE BLOCK, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Encinitas Help create healthy habits and prevent children from being overweight or obese by starting simple. According to the National Institutes of Health, about one third of children between the ages of 6 and 19 are considered overweight or obese, taking a toll on their emotional health and setting them up for health issues as adults. However, parents and caregivers can do a lot to help children get to and stay at a healthy weight. Try these tips to encourage healthy living in your home: 1. Be a role model. Parents have tremendous impact on their children. If you lead an active and healthy lifestyle at home, chances are high that your family will as well. 2. Develop healthy eating habits. Your pediatrician can advise you on what

your child needs to eat to support healthy growth and development. Generally children need to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Keep water, fruits, vegetables and other low-calorie snacks readily available, and higher calorie food less visible. Treats are okay in moderation, but limit high-fat and high-sugar snacks and sugarsweetened drinks to help kids develop good eating habits. Schedule regular meal times since most children thrive on routine. If kids know they will be eating at certain times, they are more likely to eat what they are served. 3. Include kids in grocery shopping and cooking. Bring your children to the store and have them help you select healthy foods. Have them pick out fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors, from red tomatoes to blueberries and yellow bananas. When cooking, give them an age-appropriate task in the kitchen and explain what you are making and why it is good for them. 4. Cut back on screen time. Spending too much time in front of the television or computer has been shown to

contribute to obesity. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting daily screen time to two hours or less and removing mobile devices from bedrooms when it’s time for sleep 5. Encourage exercise. The AAP recommends that children 6 and older get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise daily. The activity does not have to occur at one time, but can be broken into smaller periods during the day. For instance, riding a bike to and from school for 15 minutes, playing at the park for 30 minutes, and a 15-minute family walk after dinner adds up to an hour of activity – and fun. Your pediatrician can suggest an activity or sport that is developmentally appropriate. Don’t overdo it. Exercise should not hurt, and you want your child to have fun with physical activity. Be positive and proactive and no matter what your child’s weight is, always let them know you love them and that you want them to be healthy and happy. If you have concerns about your child’s development, weight, eating habits, or activity, speak with your pediatrician. ¢

Julie Block, M.D., is a pediatrician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Encinitas. Dr. Block is also a certiﬁed lactation consultant and believes in providing holistic care. Outside of the oﬃce, she enjoys crafts, yoga, and spending time with her family and friends.

What Skills Will Students Need in a Rapidly Changing World?

by DR. BOB OGLE, Head of School, Paciﬁc Ridge School

With the pace of change increasing and technology as its primary driver, our children’s adult lives will look very different than ours do today. Educating young people to be ready for this ﬂuid, unknown future needs to combine proven, traditional methods with new, innovative approaches. The best environments are those in which students learn how to ask the right questions, discuss and design solutions to complex problems, make commitments, take thoughtful risks and grow from both their successes and their failures. Attaining these skills can

be challenging in schools with traditional programs, large class sizes and shrinking resources. Motivated and curious students are pressed to ﬁt growth opportunities into programs that take place outside of school. Often, they need to choose a single interest to pursue out of many they may have. For parents, investing early in an enriched, forward-looking education can pay tremendous dividends for their children’s success and satisfaction in life. At Paciﬁc Ridge School, students in grades 7-12 engage actively with academic subjects while gaining relevant, handson practice in essential skills. Our approach, known as the Student360 Experience, gives students the opportunity to develop skills and explore interests while maintaining balance in their already busy lives. The “Harkness Table,” an oval table at which 15 students sit alongside their teacher, is the

center of academic life at Paciﬁc Ridge. Students share ideas and perspectives, strengthening their speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills. Academic content is frequently integrated across disciplines to add depth and context to learning. In our year-long service learning program, students develop empathy, leadership and project management expertise addressing needs as diverse as ocean pollution, elder care and

girls’ education in India. Our annual global travel program sends over 95% of our students around the world for cultural immersion, service and study. To learn more about how you can prepare your child for the future, I invite you to explore Paciﬁc Ridge School and the Student360 Experience at an Open House, Saturday, November 4, at 1 p.m. To register, visit paciﬁcridge.org. ¢ SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Service Dog Provides Needed Comfort

Local Wins Educator Award

Carlsbad-based Hospice of the North Coast (HNC) has partnered with Solana Beachbased Tender Loving Canines (TLC) to obtain a Labrador retriever, Stevie, to help end-of-life patients who receive symptom management care at HNC’s Pacifica House find solace, comfort, and joy. Stevie was trained as a service dog by two inmates in the Prisoners Overcoming Obstacles & Creating Hope (POOCH) program at Donovan State Correctional Facility in South San Diego County. Beginning in the spring of this year, Stevie began her work at HNC. “She turns Pacifica House into a genuine home for terminally ill people and their families at a stressful time,” said Danielle Nowicki, Pacifica House Volunteer Coordinator. “She’s there when people need her most.” TLC seeks to transform the lives of wounded warriors, individuals with disabilities, and end-of-life patients by building a dedicated community of service dogs, trainers, and volunteers. Learn more at www.tenderlovingcanines.org.

Carlsbad resident Craig Parks was recently selected for the San Diego Harold Grinspoon Foundation Award for Excellence in Jewish Education for Multi-Institutional and Independent Jewish Educators.

Also highlighted by the judges was Craig’s band Shorashim, a new cultural path for musicians and singers in grades 6 through 12. Tarbuton/Startup18 Jewish Educator Awards were also awarded to Lillian Elbaz of Serra Mesa and Arielle Gereboff of La Jolla.

CHS Varsity Lancer Dancer Golf Tournament Carlsbad High School’s (CHS) Dance Team Boosters are hosting their 17th Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, Oct. 16 at The Crossings at Carlsbad. The tournament is a four-person scramble, with registration starting at 11 a.m. and the tournament at noon. After the tournament, the fun will continue with cocktails, complimentary buffet dinner, raffle and silent auction, and performances by the Varsity Lancer Dancer and Junior Varsity Xcalibur dance teams. For the past several years, the golf tournament, private donations, and other fundraising efforts have generated the funds needed to send the Lancer Dancers to Orlando, FL to compete in the UDA National Championships. The CHS Lancer Dancers hold 12 national titles and aim to bring back a 13th this year. For details about golf tournament registration or how to support the Lancer Dancers visit www.lancerdancers.com.

New San Diego Wildlife Center Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) recently announced the planned addition of the San Diego Wildlife Center (SDWC), a rehabilitation program for injured, sick, and orphaned local wildlife. The primary focus will be on songbirds, shorebirds, and squirrels, but RCHS will work with its partners to ensure that all wildlife has a place to heal and a chance to return to the wild. “They don’t just live in our community, we live in theirs,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. “That’s why it’s up to us to help and protect these animals.” SDWC will operate from two separate facilities – one in Carlsbad, for intake, evaluation, and treatment, and the other at the RCHS campus, where the animals will continue treatment, recovery, and eventual release. The project is still in the funding stages and is expected to officially open this fall. For more information visit www.sdpets.org.

City of Carlsbad Launches App The City of Carlsbad is offering a new app. Titled Carlsbad @ Your Service, the app allows people to use their phones, tablets, and computers to report things that need repair or attention around town, like potholes, sidewalk cracks, traffic light outages, and graffiti. Users can submit service requests anonymously or create a free account to track progress and see what other people have reported. The city’s Public Works Department has been quietly testing the app over the past few months with city volunteers and other groups. According to Project Manager Tye Gillespie, the response has been very positive. “People like that it’s easy not just to report something, but to find out the status,” said Gillespie. “On the city side of things, the app lets us gather and analyze data very efficiently so we can track trends, response times, and other metrics.” Calls or emails to city staff will still be an option, and a list of department contact information can be found on the city’s website. To get the app visit www.carlsbadca.gov/fixit or search Carlsbad @ Your Service in the iTunes or Google Play app stores. See more information at www.carlsbadca.gov.

The Museum of Making Music Educates and Enriches Carlsbad photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

18 • 92011 MAGAZINE.COM • October | November 2017

arlsbad is the home of the Museum of Making Music, the only museum in the world that focuses on the rich history of music making from 1900 to present day. From educational opportunities and hands-on

experiences to special exhibitions and live performances, the Museum of Making Music is enriching Carlsbad and inspiring the community through song. We chat with Executive Director Carolyn Grant to learn more.

Q&A

with Museum of Making Music Executive Director Carolyn Grant

Can you tell us a bit about the history of the Museum of Making Music? When did it open? NAMM’s Museum of Making Music (MoMM) presents the storied history of music instruments and products – from invention, to creation, to market – as its canvas to enrich people of all ages and backgrounds. MoMM does this by offering educational immersion opportunities, exhibitions, hands-on experiences, and live performances that inform and inspire, while demonstrating how musical instruments impact popular culture and connect lives. A division of the NAMM Foundation, the museum opened in March 2000 as the museum of the music products industry. It is the only museum in the world that focuses on the ecosystem of music making from 1900 to present day. What is the mission of the museum? How does it go about achieving this mission? The Museum of Making Music explores the accomplishments and impact of the music products industry through exhibitions and programs, and directly connects visitors with live music and music-making opportunities. We do this through the curation of unique exhibitions, vibrant and varied live music performances, and innovative educational programs. What is the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and what is the museum’s relation to this organization? NAMM is a 117-year-old global trade association whose mission is to strengthen the music products industry and promote the pleasures and benefits of making music. As an organization,

NAMM envisions a world in which the joy of making music is a precious element of daily living for everyone; a world in which every child has a deep desire to learn music and a recognized right to be taught; and in which every adult is a passionate champion and defender of that right. The Museum of Making Music is a division of the NAMM Foundation, the philanthropic arm of NAMM whose mission is to advance active participation in music making across the lifespan by supporting scientific research, philanthropic giving and public service programs to inspire people of all ages to make music. What sort of programs and events does the museum offer the community? Tell us about any past, current, or upcoming exhibits, performances, or other events. The museum regularly presents a wide variety of public programs, including: live concerts, workshops, films, lectures, and family activities; the museum averages between five to six events per month. Past concert highlights include performances by music icons such as Mavis Staples, Joan Osborne, and Graham Nash to up-and-coming artists like Mandy Harvey who was recently featured on America’s Got Talent. Can you tell us more about the New Horizons Band and North Coast Strings? Who are these programs open to? How can interested readers learn more? The museum’s two adult education music making programs, the North Coast Strings and New Horizons Band are designed to be entry points for adults who want to learn, or re-learn, a musical instrument in a supportive group October | November 2017 • 92011 MAGAZINE.COM • 19

setting. The New Horizons Band offers adults the chance to play a concert band instrument: woodwinds, brass, and percussion, while the North Coast Strings offers instruments from the string family: violin, viola, cello, and bass. The programs welcome adults (ages 21 and older) with either no music experience, or those who haven’t played their instruments in many years. Each group gives at least two concerts each year.

Can you tell us about the other staff members at the museum?

What is your role at the museum? What are some of your duties or responsibilities?

The Museum’s MusicVentures Field Trip Program is a unique musical exploration of the Museum of Making Music for students from preschool age to high school. Students learn about the people, historical events, and innovations that influenced music making and musical instruments. Led by a trained facilitator, students embark on a creative thinking adventure through the instruments on display, sound and video clips, and an interactive activity. Field trips are open to students of all ages and tours are customized based upon grade level or group need.

The museum team is extraordinary. They are hard-working, dedicated, passionate, and smart. They do serious, high-quality work with lightheartedness, humor, patience, and respect. I feel tremendously fortunate to work with this team. Does the museum offer any opportunities for school/group field trips or other large events?

Does the museum need volunteers? How should those interested in volunteering get involved? As a nonprofit organization, the Museum of Making Music relies on the support of dedicated volunteers. Volunteers offer their time as docents, gallery attendants, store clerks, event staff, and office support. Volunteers have monthly meetings, education sessions, and annual appreciation events. We currently have over 60 active volunteers whose ages range from teens to seniors! The first step in becoming a volunteer is to take part in our volunteer training program. The training program is conducted once a year. Anyone interested in signing up is invited to call our visitor services manager at 760-304-5819. If you could describe the Museum of Making Music in five words, what would you say? Dynamic, positive, unexpected, interactive, inspiring. Are there any other upcoming events that you’d like our readers to know about, or any other details you’d like to share? The Museum of Making Music’s next

special exhibition, entitled “Floating Strings: The Remarkable Story of the Harp Guitar in America,” opens on Saturday, Oct. 14 and will be on display through April 29, 2018. The exhibition is developed and designed by museum staff along with guest curator Mr. Gregg Miner – one of the world’s foremost harp guitar scholars, and will include over 40 beautiful examples of this unique instrument. In addition to the stunning display of instrumental craftsmanship, the exhibition also looks at the history of the harp guitar, from its beginnings in Europe to its current status and use in the United States today. Additionally, the museum will be hosting a robust concert series in conjunction with the special exhibition. The concert series will feature performances by some of the most respected harp guitarists in the world, including: John Doan, Stephen Bennett, Muriel Anderson, Travis Bowman, and more. ¢

The Park Family Enjoys Seeing the World and the Simple Pleasures of Home by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

he Park family loves the Carlsbad lifestyle – the relaxed vibe, outdoor activities, and amazing friends. Parents Cliff and Amy and daughters Devin and Riley take full advantage of all that the community has to offer, from backyard games of cornhole and swimming in the pool to Junior Lifeguards, sports, and summer camps. Amy is originally from Southern California and attended college at Long Beach State and graduate school at University of San Diego. Between her years as a student, she moved to Vail, CO to work as a ski instructor. After her master’s degree, Amy returned to Colorado for a position as a pharmaceutical sales rep in Denver. It was there that she met Cliff, an Iowa native and Iowa State alumni. He had already made a number of moves for his sales career, traversing the country from Minneapolis to Atlanta to New York to Denver. So when the couple had to choose a place to start their lives together, Amy was quick to suggest San Diego. “So we moved to Carlsbad in 2000 and truly think it is a ‘hidden gem,’” Amy shared. Their daughters, Devin and Riley, are active in school, sports, and summer camps. Devin volunteers as a camp counselor at North Coast Cavalry Church and the

Helen Woodward Animal Center and plays lacrosse for Pacific Ridge School. Riley plays soccer, basketball, and volleyball. The sisters are also active in the National Charity League, an organization for mothers and daughters to serve their communities. Their favorite organizations to volunteer for are Heartfelt Helpings, Surfrider Foundation, and the Ronald McDonald House. Travel is another top priority for the Park family. Thus far, they have explored Hawaii, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and Mexico. For winter trips, skiing and snowboarding in Colorado is their favorite. This summer, the family trip includes Paris and London. Amy and Cliff also travel frequently for their work. While they appreciate the opportunity to see the world, they “absolutely love getting to come home to Carlsbad after a trip,” Cliff acknowledged. “It’s the best feeling in the world.” Coming home to Carlsbad is not something the Park family takes for granted. In 2005, they briefly relocated to Arizona. “After two months in Arizona, we realized that it just wasn’t Carlsbad,” Amy said. “We moved back within six months and it was the best decision! It makes us appreciate the beauty of our city even more.” ¢

anine Companions for Independence (CCI) will host a tail-waggin’ good time at DogFest Walk ‘n Roll San Diego on Oct. 21 in NTC Park at Liberty Station. The walk is a national signature event of CCI, and helps raise money to provide highly trained assistance dogs for people with disabilities. DogFest San Diego will include a scenic, fully accessible, 1.2-mile dog walk followed by a celebration with dog and familyfriendly activities.

One assistance dog recipient, a 10-year-old Carlsbad resident named Nicholas, has seen life-changing benefits from his skilled companion

Hemera. Nicholas’ mom Christa, the publicity chair for DogFest San Diego, shared her family’s experience. “Nicholas was diagnosed with autism at three years old, and now, at 10 years old, he has Hemera to bring him out of his shell. He is an amazing artist, but having Hemera to help him engage and be active is perfect. He is so connected with her and already talks more! She brings a smile to his face every morning.” 2017 DogFest events have a goal to raise $1.45 million to place assistance dogs free of charge with people like Nicholas who need them.

LED Lights in My Home? by AL REX

n interesting question I’ve been getting lately from energy-conscious homeowners is, “Does it make sense to replace my existing lights with lower energy LED lights?” We are seeing that a lot of commercial businesses are replacing their lighting system with LED lights because they use a fraction of the electricity. So, it stands to reason some of us homeowners might want to explore the same benefit. In fact, not only do LED lights use much less electricity to illuminate, they also have a significantly longer life than traditional lighting. However, there is one very significant difference that must be considered in measuring the value of LED lighting in the home, versus a commercial/retail building. This difference is the length of time the lights are used. A lot of commercial buildings leave their lights on between 12 to 16 hours a day

on average. This can be an office building, restaurant, car dealership, or similar. When you consider how much energy these commercial establishments can save every month, the payback on exchanging into these “more expensive” LED lights may typically be between 18 to 24 months. Such a rapid payback makes the decision to convert over to LED an easy one for many business owners. Now, if you look at the average residential home where, at least one person – and often two people – works during the day away from home, these lights might only be on three to five hours in an average day. And while the energy savings for LEDs in the home can be significant, the payback may run into the 8 to 10 year period. So, if the payback for LED lighting in the home is so long, is the answer to never replace my existing bulbs with LEDs? A lighting expert says that in his home, when one older bulb burns out, he will replace the single bulb with an LED, or he might replace an entire section – like a kitchen or bathroom – at one time. Thus,

the up-front expense is manageable, and you can slowly start to recognize a savings on your monthly electric bill. One other consideration is that LED lighting may not be compatible with some dimming switches, so you may want to test one bulb first if you are using a dimmer. If you have questions about LED lighting, give me a call or send me an email. I can connect you with a lighting expert in your area. ¢
