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

“S
urfing is like my medicine, it makes me feel relieved when my feet hit the water,” shared 14-year-old Natasha Slingerland, who was first introduced to the activity at age six. “My step-dad Chris Slingerland took me surfing for the first time and ever since then I knew it was going to be a part of my life forever,” she said. Today, Natasha’s passion for surfing has taken her to exciting surf spots such as Costa Rica, has won her notable

recognition, and has even inspired her to create and sell her own brand of surf board wax, called Angel Smear Surf Wax – a wax that is sold in many local surf shops and in five different countries. But most of all, surfing to Natasha is a way to relax, reconnect, and just have some fun! Natasha and her family live at Stone Steps Beach in the 92024 community. “I live in a really friendly, beautiful, and amazing community,”
said Natasha. “I like living here because everyone has been so supportive about what I do and desire.” She is in 9th grade at San Dieguito Academy, where she takes school very seriously. “My grades are a very important part of the high school experience,” explained Natasha. “Since it’s my first year of high school I didn’t want to take on more than I can handle.” For that reason, Natasha has put off joining the school’s surf team to focus on academics and playing for the field hockey team. “After field hockey, I plan on practicing with the surf team and getting to know the coach,” Natasha explained. But Natasha still catches plenty of waves outside of school. “My favorite wave is a long peeling left,” she shared. “I have mastered the art of taking off frontside and mid-wave switching to backside. This trick won me some hoots and hollers in the Stone Steps Longboard contest.” Natasha placed 6th in that contest – quite a feat for a young girl. Inspired by the young professional surfer, Bethany Hamilton, Natasha hopes to attend college near the ocean and to one day become a famous surfer. “I want to travel all over the world for the best waves,” stated Natasha. In the meantime, she concentrates on having fun on her surfboard. “Fear can get the best of us,” said Natasha, “fear of being judged, fear of making a fool of ourselves, fear of getting hurt, but when you overcome that fear and just get out there it's totally worth it.” ¢
“SURFING IS LIKE MY MEDICINE, IT MAKES ME FEEL RELIEVED WHEN MY FEET HIT THE WATER.”

FASHION DESIGNER ENCINITAS WOMAN USES WORK EXPERTISE TO CREATE NEW TRAVEL ACCESSORY FASHION LINE by AMY LEHRER | photo by Soul of Photography
L
ike many living in California, Emily Constantini moved to San Diego as an adult. She was born in Texas and grew up in New Mexico. She graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in business and became an internal mutual fund wholesaler in Santa Fe. Then she became an external wholesaler for the New England territory. At this point, she decided to change careers and move to San Diego. Once here, she became the fundraising manager for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. That great experience led her to her current job as the Vice President of Sales for a Jive Software professional services firm based in Del Mar. She finds this job fun, rewarding, fast-paced, and lucrative. She especially enjoys working with companies like DIRECTV, Tableau, and Broadcom. Working with CEOs who had created their own companies inspired Emily to start her own as well. A frequent traveler, she had not yet found a toiletry and cosmetic bag that suited her needs. After researching all the available options in stores and online, she decided to design one herself. She wanted something compact and stylish with many individual pockets that could lay flat in a suitcase with a removable zipper portion for liquids to make getting through security lines easier. Emily declared, “It took four prototypes, but I finally have my final product – the EMME bag!” Her previous and current work experience allowed her to learn applications like Shopify and Hootsuite that now help her market EMME. “I have dreams of creating an entire frequent travel luggage line geared toward females,” shared Emily. She plans to let her customers tell her directly what they need so she can develop ideal products. While most of Emily’s time is spent on EMME and her job, Emily does find time for other pursuits. She supports the Challenged Athletes Foundation and local North County animal shelters and trains for marathons. She expects to perform well in the Carlsbad Marathon – her seventh – because Encinitas Ranch “is nothing but hills.” She also enjoys yoga, surfing at Cardiff Reef, walking her dogs, and watching a great movie while sipping wine. For those wishing to pursue a career in fashion, Emily advises, “Believe in your vision. There are a lot of folks with a lot of opinions out there. Stay true to what you really see and have the courage to bring it to life.” ¢

:::: YOUR NEIGHBOR’S RECIPE
Ingredients Cupcake ingredients 6-8 plump fresh figs 1 cup of raisins and chopped walnuts 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener 1-2 jiggers of rum 1 grated apple 3 cups of flour (one should be flaxseed meal) 1 cup of sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 4 eggs 1 cup of vegetable oil 1 tablespoon vanilla ¼ cup of fresh orange juice
About the Chef
Frosting ingredients 1 box of Pamela’s gluten-free dark chocolate mix 1 brick cream cheese butter 1 teaspoon hazelnut decaf coffee
Directions 1. 2.
3.
4. 5. 6. 7.
Put the fresh figs, washed and without stems, in the Cuisinart and create a puree. Add raisins and equal amount of chopped walnuts, a tablespoon of your preferred sweetener, and a jigger or two of rum. Grate an apple and mix it all together. Set aside. Prepare the batter by measuring 3 cups of your favorite flour with one cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. I use a cup of flaxseed meal and hazelnut or brown rice flour to create a moist and delicious cake. Line cupcake tins with papers and set the oven at about 325350 degrees F. Mix in the eggs, oil, vanilla, and orange juice. Blend in the fruit puree and fill cups to ¾. Baking time is about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean but not dry. Check them at 20 minutes. Frost when cool with your favorite topping or gluten-free dark chocolate mix from Sprouts.
Optional Frosting: 1. Take Pamela’s gluten-free dark chocolate mix and add a brick of cream cheese, some butter, and a teaspoon of hazelnut decaf coffee. Add confectioner’s sugar if desired. 2. Add colorful sprinkles or decorations on top depending on the occasion. Makes: About 24 medium-sized cupcakes Total Time: About 1 hour, 30 minutes

Favorite Local Activity: I like feeding the birds in my backyard and helping with special events at SDBG. About the Recipe: All my friends rave about this unique and healthy cupcake recipe. I find any excuse to make them year-round with my homegrown figs and give them away so I don’t eat them all! Yes, figs freeze very well. My cupcake recipe just received first place in a Rancho Santa Fe dessert contest. About the Chef: Much of my diet is raw food, but I love creative, healthy cooking and baking, so being single is a challenge, and my solution is to share. I give goodies away to neighbors and friends often in trade for things they grow, like bananas, heirloom tomatoes, and plant cuttings. A friend from Hawaii gifted me some plumeria shoots that are doing very well. Another friend shares her cactus plants with me. My orchard is lush with plums, apricots, peaches, berries, figs, and limes, and I have vegetables in raised planters and colorful flower beds. I don’t use any chemicals. On a flat half-acre, I have designed a permaculture so that I don’t waste water, and I even collect the little rain water we get in beautiful ceramic urns. Composters and my worm bin are essentials. Gardening is a joy and a job for the long haul. I am well-known around town for being a common-sense anti-plastic freak. I worked with the scientist credited with the discovery of the garbage accumulation in the Pacific Ocean Gyre. I have written and presented extensively on this subject. I’m proud to say I haven’t touched a plastic water bottle or bag in about twenty years. I care about protecting nature for future generations and the goodness of the food on my plate! ¢
Creative Chef
92024 RESIDENT AND AWARD-WINNING CHEF PURSUES HIS PASSIONS
“C
hefs are like scientists, artists, and magicians, only a white canvas is replaced with a sleek white plate,” expressed award-winning Executive Chef and 92024 resident Bernard Guillas. Bernard’s artistry certainly spreads well beyond the white plate, however. The executive chef of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, the Shores Restaurant at the La Jolla Shores Hotel, and the landmark AAA Four Diamond-rated Marine Room restaurant, and winner of numerous culinary awards, has found a taste for writing. Bernard just released his second book along with Chef Ron Oliver, Two Chefs, One Catch: A Culinary Exploration of Seafood, and they both did not come lightly to the blank page. Two Chefs, One Catch: A Culinary Exploration of Seafood contains over 100 delicious seafood recipes organized according to species and accompanied by expert tips on selection and preparation. Creative recipes include Ahi Tuna Tiger Eye with Cashew Sauce, Shrimp Andouille Lollipops, and more. Both chefs have always been influenced by the taste of the sea and the responsibilities that come with being a chef, in regards to maintaining the beauty of our oceans. Bernard described it as such, “As a chef and restaurateur, my passion and duty is to be a good caretaker of our oceans. As an author and educator, it is essential for me to broaden people’s horizon and introduce new species that are plentiful in our ocean to the world market. Understanding its origin is guaranteeing the well-being of our planet.” Whether he’s cooking, writing, or educating, Bernard certainly knows how to pursue his passions, and he presents them beautifully. ¢

rt and faith come together in the Cullum household in a variety of mediums. Whether woodworking, singing, or signing, the Cullum family spreads their unique talents and positive outlook on life throughout Encinitas and beyond. Andrew Cullum, an Encinitas native, is a woodworker whose custom hand-carved work adorns homes across San Diego and the country. Andrew began studying the craft in his childhood, and is known today for his fireplace mantels, doors, gates, and most recently, his carving of a 10-foot dolphin from an old cypress stump on 10th St. in Del Mar. Myra Cullum’s passion also grew during her childhood in Texas, where she played in the Fort Worth

Youth Orchestra and sang in the church choir. Music became her doorway to the world. In fact, she has traveled globally to perform and teach. Today Myra is the music teacher at Santa Fe Christian School and choir director at two local churches. The couple met in 2000 at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church during Myra’s slide show about her service work at the Christian Happy Home Orphanages in Thailand. They continued the conversation while surfing at Swami’s and the next summer, the couple married. They celebrated their honeymoon with a stop at the orphanage in Thailand, where Myra taught drumming and Andrew carved drumsticks from bamboo for the children. Back home, the Cullum’s began their own family. Today the children’s hobbies take closely after their parents. Elizabeth, 11, is a surfer, singer, violinist, and animal lover. Katherine, 10, spreads her passion for music through American Sign Language (ASL) and the signing choir, Love in Motion. “Not long after Katherine was born, we found out she was deaf. So, our whole family has learned sign language,” Myra explained. Christopher, 5, is an active boy, who serves the vital role of comic relief for the family. Learning ASL “has opened up a whole different world for us,” Myra said. Unlike spoken English, ASL requires eye contact. “For us, signing is more than moving your hands. It is communication from the heart and soul,” Myra acknowledged. The family performs music and signing in concerts for the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and the Atria Senior Living Center. The Cullum family shares their heart and soul with the community and the world. Whether it’s through music, wood carvings, or sign language, the family is guided by their passion and faith. ¢

Glow in the Dark Patti McCarthy Finds Hiking as a Way to Combat Cancer by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Soul of Photography
T
hursday night, Oct. 4, 2012, 9 p.m. is a night Name: that will live forever in the Profession: memory of Patti McCarthy. That Awards & Recognitions: was the night she was diagnosed Community: with breast cancer. A nurse for the Hobbies: past 30 years, Patti was now on Favorite Local Spots: the other side of the hospital bed. She credits much of her success in the battle to those around her. “I was amazed at the number of family and friends who supported us,” Patti shared, “I had no idea how much people truly cared about us.” She continued on to say, “My kids were wonderful. My husband was the most amazing source of support for me. He told me all the time, even in my worst moments, I was beautiful.” Her fight has taken her on two roads: one to the library and one to the trails. Patti began writing a journal on the night of her diagnosis and continued throughout her cancer fight. The McCarthy family learned to love hiking and backpacking on a “bucket list” trip to the Grand Canyon, and then they heard about the Pacific Crest Trail. After a bit of trouble convincing her husband Lynn they could do it, they started with baby steps in May of 2012. First were day hikes around Warner Springs, then confidence building for an overnight

or two through Mount Laguna to Campo, the trail’s south terminus. Patti McCarthy “Finally we worked up to a five-day Registered nurse trip Labor Day weekend from Nurse of the Year 2008, Values in Action 2012 Big Bear to Lake Arrowhead to Encinitas since 1994 celebrate our 25th anniversary,” Backpacking, travel, reading, crochet Patti explained. “This completed Moonlight Beach or Swami’s 122 miles.” Her trail name was “Glow in the Dark” – a nickname she earned for joking about the amount of X-rays she'd had since her diagnosis. Initially, Patti wanted to blog about her hikes and dealing with cancer effects and treatments, but then she added bits from her personal journal, and slowly but surely, a book was born: Hiking Cancer. The personalization made the book difficult to complete. “It was so much harder than I imagined,” she said, “but it also made the book raw. It is not sugar coating.” Patti’s favorite chapter is called, "I’m a Survivor, Now What?," which “pulls together the anger I felt, the determination I had to find a focus to get through it, and how I learned to embrace what I went through and accept the changes,” she shared. Patti’s advice to those fighting cancer? “You can get through this! You are stronger than you think.” ¢

Dinner for the Troops
The Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) gives United States Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton a little “taste” of home every holiday season by bringing RCHS Pet Assisted Therapy (PAT) dogs to the Oceanside Yacht Club. Thanks to the Oceanside Yacht Club and Stone Brewing Company, this year the marines enjoyed an ocean cruise, dinner, and lots of love from PAT pups. “We had such a great time last year with the marines,” stated RCHS Volunteer Coordinator Mary Pilon. She continued, “Those of us who have served in the military understand what it’s like when we have no family in the area and cannot go home for a holiday.” RCHS Public Relations Director John Van Zante added, “It’s fascinating to see active duty United States Marines who have dodged bullets and bombs turn into little kids who can barely control their happiness when you put a puppy in their arms.”
Church Pledges Funds for Shrine at Ground Zero Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church of North County will support the construction of the Saint Nicholas National Shrine at the World Trade Center through a pledged donation. The shrine is being erected at Ground Zero, replacing the small Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas that was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001. While the new church will continue as a Greek Orthodox church, it will welcome people of all faiths to come visit and pay their respects while touring the 9/11 Memorial and the Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center. The local parish, which hosts the annual Cardiff Greek Festival, will donate 10% of festival profits and stewardship donations from parishioners in 2015. “Through an inspired faith and vigilant prayer, our parishioners chose to honor those who have lost their lives and those who protect our freedom by helping to provide a place of worship and peaceful reflection for all at the site of the horrific tragedy that forever changed us all,” said Father Michael Sitaras, Pastor at Saints Constantine and Helen.

T
here is a growing trend in medicine, bringing wellness and disease prevention into the spotlight. Dr. Lindsey Mcilvena, a Preventive Medicine doctor in Encinitas, specializes in chronic disease prevention and reversal. “I like to see people living optimally, at the peak of their physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health,” stated Dr. Mcilvena. Dr. Mcilvena aims to address the root of chronic disease in order to reverse it completely. She realized during medical school and her residency that conventional

treatments for chronic disease do not focus enough on lifestyle habits. “It became clear to me that many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, and many autoimmune diseases could be stopped if patients were encouraged to change certain aspects of their everyday lives including their food choices, exercise habits, and certain patterns of thought,” said Dr. Mcilvena. “I chose preventive medicine as my specialty because I wanted to help patients feel empowered. I wanted patients to understand how much of their health was in their own control.” Lindsey recognizes that the top causes of death in the

United States – heart disease and cancer – are mostly diseases of poor diet and lifestyle. “Dietary choices ultimately decide the fate of our health because our food acts as either a medicine, which will help us keep or attain good health, or as a poison, perpetuating the existence of chronic disease,” she stated. “The beauty here is that because our everyday choices make such a huge impact on our health, it is never too late to start making better choices.” To address chronic disease reversal and prevention on a community level, Dr. Mcilvena offers the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP), a month-long intensive

program. “CHIP is the most comprehensive program in optimal health available in a community setting. It is commonplace to see impressive weight loss, normalization of cholesterol and blood pressure, and improvement in blood sugars within the first month,” said Dr. Mcilvena.
“
I chose preventive medicine as my specialty because I want to help patients feel empowered; I want patients to understand how much of their health is in their own control.
She added, “Many people have their medications reduced and sometimes eliminated altogether.” There have been over 20 scientific papers published worldwide attesting to the power of CHIP. The CHIP curriculum is available for people of all ages. Everyone can benefit from CHIP, and it is available at a fraction of the cost of similar programs. CHIP draws on the power of the group dynamic. “Making improvements in our lives is so much easier when we are supported. CHIP is offered within a group setting so that a social network is instantly created,” said Dr. Mcilvena.
Dr. Mcilvena will be offering her next CHIP program beginning the last week of January. The nine session program will occur twice weekly, each session lasting two hours. Each participant receives two complete individual health assessments, one at the beginning and again at the end of the program. Both assessments include a biometric screen which allows simple tracking of weight, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, body fat percentage, and a complete cholesterol panel. Group meetings include food demos, nutritional and lifestyle education, group discussion, and question and answer sessions. “How healthy we are determines so much of our quality of life. That is why I offer CHIP, to help individuals and families live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I want to see 2015 be the year that San Diego County residents are able to achieve optimal health,” said Dr. Mcilvena. Dr. Mcilvena stays active in the community by giving free lectures and teaching community yoga classes at Anahata Yoga Studio. In January she will be speaking at both the Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe libraries, and in February she will be speaking at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA.

an Diego’s brewing scene is booming these days, and we in North County are lucky enough to experience the best of the boom right here in our own communities. Craft breweries, also known as microbreweries, are independently owned and produce small amounts of beer,
allowing for higher quality and greater individualization than traditional breweries. Perhaps nowhere is this industry growing faster than in San Diego, which has become a beer-drinker’s dream destination – and not just for the beaches any more. Local breweries have been stepping into the international spotlight with their award-winning beers. The industry’s exhilarating growth shows no sign of slowing down. With the recent celebration of the 6th Annual San Diego Beer Week, we’re excited to offer an insider’s look at the best breweries North County has to offer. The craft brewers we speak to have a huge variety of differences in technique and taste, but they all share a deep-rooted passion for their products. We invite you to read along and see what the buzz is all about.

W
e know, we know! You have been homebrewing for years now, and you and your friends will love the cascade hops you’re adding to the next batch of “John’s Love Potion Pale Ale,” but for the rest of us, we’ve compiled a quick guide of styles and explanations to some of San Diego’s more popular styles of beer. So the next time you’re ordering a flight of tasters,
go with a variety, and decide for yourself what you like in your beer. North County San Diego is on the forefront of the craft brewing revolution, so be sure you’re not left out of the loop.
Stout Stouts are dark beers usually made from roasted malt or roasted barley as the main source of flavor. While there is debate about the styles, stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest porters. The two styles have branched out to include hundreds of variations, but the basics remain: dark beers made from dark, roasted grains. Imperial stouts (or Russian Imperial stouts) have grown recently in popularity, especially in San Diego, for their high alcohol content (usually above 9%) and their dynamic flavor profile.
IPA, Pale Ale & Amber Ale India Pale Ale beers have quickly become the face of craft beer in San Diego and across the nation. Their bitter taste and sharp bite are synonymous with local flagship beers. The “pale” in pale ale beers refers to the pale malt used in brewing these types of beers. While differences between pale ales and IPAs usually lie in the latter, beer’s increased alcohol content and hoppiness, creative breweries push these boundaries increasingly. Local craft amber ales have a similar taste profile as a standard pale ale, with a sweeter flavor because of added amber malt during brewing. Variations of these styles include the Imperial IPA and Double IPA (also called a “San Diego IPA” outside of the area).
Wheat “Wheat” can cover a wide range of beers but are all brewed using a large proportion of wheat malt. Most wheat beers can often be categorized under Weizenbier, Witbier, and Sour styles. Weizenbier includes
Hefeweizen, a sweet and low hop beer that often includes citrus or spice notes. Witbier (“White Beer”) are similar, but use some additional fruit and spice notes and have a slightly more sour taste because of lactic acid. Sour beers are similar to Witbiers with added tart flavors and alterations to the brewing method.
Belgian While not a specific variation, Belgian or Trappist ales often share a common flavor profile (you’ve probably heard one of your friends comment “that tastes Belgian!”). Originating from monasteries across Europe, Belgian-style beer focuses on the balance between malt sweetness, hop bitterness, and aromas (usually fruity, spicy, or floral). Local beers brewed in this style are often called “abbey-style” ales as they don’t fit labeling requirements. Common styles that fall into this category are Enkel, Dubbel, Tripel, and even Quadrupel.
Pilsner & Lager While a pilsner (or pale lager) beer is a specific type of lager, these terms are often used interchangeably when referring to coldbrewed beer using bottom-fermenting yeast. Pilsners and American Lagers are often lightly hopped and aim for the highest level of drinkability. Because of the lower temperature of fermentation, these beers often have a cleaner, crisp taste. Local breweries have had success with variations of these styles to cater to the craft brewery lover’s palate. If you see an India Pale Lager on a menu in the future, be sure to give it a try!

DID you KNOW? In 2011, brewers and brewpubs generated a $299.5 million direct economic impact in San Diego County. The economic contribution of craft brewers is more than 1 ½ times greater than the economic impact of Comic-Con International, San Diego’s largest annual convention. Since 2011, the total number of craft breweries in the region has more than doubled. The largest craft brewing event in the region is San Diego Beer Week, which features more than 500 events and lasts from early to mid-November. Beer Week brings more than 20,000 participants to San Diego County.

ave you ever been intimidated while beer or wine tasting because you’re surrounded by snooty “experts” who make you feel inferior? 92127’s Abnormal Company has built their business around dismantling that attitude. Co-Owners Matthew DeLoach, James Malone, and Elvin Lai, friends and fellow Poway High School graduates, have made their urban brew and wine industry business – which now includes a new beer
brewery, restaurant, and expanded winery – approachable, friendly, and fun! The owners are especially excited about their newly opened restaurant, The Cork & Craft. James shared, “We all love good food, and there’s nothing quite like a delicious meal paired with a glass of wine or craft beer. We are so excited that this adventure has now led us into the action-packed craft beer and restaurant worlds!”

Abnormal Company is also proud to soon bring its customers in-house produced beers focused on drinkability in addition to the extensive tap and bottle list they currently have. Their glass-enclosed brewery is expected to be up and running by the end of the year. Abnormal Company intends to brew during restaurant hours to provide customers with a sense of artistry and display of their craft. According to Co-Owner Matthew, the company’s beer will be “gluten-reduced, flavorful enough to sit gently on the palate, and will pair perfectly with fare offered by The Cork & Craft.” As The Cork & Craft’s mission is to elevate the concept of comfort food to a gourmet experience, this new brewery will encourage customers to think a little more about what they are drinking, try out new beer and food pairings, and dare to step out into the abnormal.

Remembering Larry Himmel
HONORING THE MEMORY OF SAN DIEGO’S BELOVED REPORTER photo by Spark Photography
L
arry Himmel, longtime KFMB/Channel 8 reporter, television broadcaster, San Diego personality, and close friend to ZCode Media, recently passed away after his brave battle with cancer. Larry had been a loyal local reporter for the station since 1979, bringing an unparalleled sense of humor and artistry to the air. The news of Larry’s passing spread during Channel 8’s 11 p.m. broadcast in which Larry’s co-workers reminisced and shared stories about their time with him. As a reporter, Larry was larger than life and extremely well-respected in his field. He is known as one of the best feature reporters in his industry and is the recipient of over a dozen Emmy Awards. He was the type of reporter that went above and beyond to deliver a story. During the 2007 wildfires, Larry gained national attention for famously reporting in front his burning home in 92127. In 2012, when 92127 Magazine’s cover feature included Larry, his family and his story of that day, he discussed the events that led up to the chilling and heartbreaking live report. A friend of the ZCode Media family, Larry was a supporter of the local magazines and community news as a whole. Known for his quirky and off-beat video stories, he featured ZCode’s magazines in a report about the five year anniversary of the Witch Creek Fire. CBS has produced a touching video tribute to Larry on its site. It can be accessed at www.cbs8.com/story/26867145/remembering-larry-himmel. Guests are encouraged to sign the guest book in honor of one of San Diego’s legendary reporters. ¢

Simple New Year’s Healthy Resolutions…
And How to Keep Them by RYAN BARENCHI, MD; Scripps Clinic, Encinitas
Ambitions are high after the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. It’s a new year and a chance for a new you. Millions of Americans set lofty health-related resolutions for the year to come, from reviving their gym membership and losing weight to quitting smoking. But, before you spend money on a new workout wardrobe or go boom-orbust on the next fad diet, consider these modest tips for a healthier you in 2015:
• Walk at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Gradually progress to walking every day. • Eat a diet that’s high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, but low in saturated fats. • Drink six to eight glasses of water each day. • Get adequate sleep. Sleeping at least seven hours a night typically benefits adults by boosting alertness and decreasing their chances of causing a traffic accident. • Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher on exposed skin. • Stop using tobacco. See your doctor for cessation strategies. • Choose a primary care physician who’s a “good fit” and you’ll be more likely to keep your cholesterol under control, know your risk factors for diabetes, and undergo preventive health screenings that can help catch diseases in the early stages.
Committing to a healthier lifestyle is only half of the battle; making your new health choices habit is the key to success. Here are a few tips for making your changes permanent: • Take it one change at a time. Change is hard; don’t make it harder with multiple changes at once. • Energize naturally. Self-restraint takes energy, and the best way to replace your energy levels is with natural glucose from fruit sources – the artificial stuff won’t work. • Laugh it off. Feeling overwhelmed? Put on a funny movie, or watch your favorite cat video online – doing something that makes you laugh helps release tension. • Give it 90%, not 100%. Perfection is usually unattainable. Hold yourself to a reasonable standard – no one is perfect. • Pump up the jams. Grab your earbuds and play some of your favorite upbeat songs. Music can put you in a better mood and also serve as motivation. • Employ the buddy system. Find a friend or two who are striving for similar goals and coach each other. You may be less likely to fall off the wagon if someone is helping you stay accountable.
Ryan Barenchi, MD, is a family medicine physician at Scripps Clinic in Encinitas. Dr. Barenchi provides care for all ages and treats a wide range of medical issues.

The Poston’s Story
THE POSTON FAMILY SEEKS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT TYPE 1 DIABETES
T
he Poston family views life one blood sugar at a time. Two of their three children live with type 1 diabetes, a disease which requires constant diligence. If one of their children’s blood sugar levels were to drop too low, they would slip into a diabetic coma. The Postons’ son, Parker, was diagnosed when he was only six years old. According to Parker’s mother, Jen, “Those five hospital days were the longest of my life – little to no sleep, diabetes, classes, counting carbs, measuring insulin, and injecting our child with a needle that caused him to scream and scream.” The Poston family’s lives changed instantaneously. The family must constantly be aware of Parker’s blood sugar level, monitoring food intake, insulin amounts, weather temperature, illness, stress, excitement, hormones, and more, to ensure that Parker’s life is not in danger. Fourteen months after Parker’s diagnosis, the Poston family found themselves in the pediatrician’s office again, this time with their daughter Madison. Also known as Parker’s little nurse, who had become so focused on her brother’s disease that she pretended all of her Barbie dolls had type 1 diabetes, Madison was diagnosed with the disease too. “As a mother, it is devastating to have your young child diagnosed with this unrelenting disease,” shared Jen. “It almost leaves you without hope,” she added. However, it is because of hope that Jen wanted to share her story. That is, a story of a mother who hopes her third child, Mackenzie, is not also diagnosed with the disease, hope that research will result in better treatment for her children, hope for more fundraising, and ultimately, a cure. ¢

The concept for Total Woman Gym + Spa began more than 45 years ago. The founder, Art Stone, owned beauty salons across L.A. and frequently heard women request a singular place where they could workout, lose weight, and be pampered.

Today, Total Woman Gym + Spa operates 14 clubs across California. “Our mission, our purpose, is to be a destination for busy women to achieve their fitness and health goals, as well as take time for their well-being through rejuvenating spa treatments,” Victoria acknowledged. And to accomplish this mission, Total Woman Gym + Spa hires only the best instructors, spa team, childcare personnel, and customer service staff. All the personal trainers are NCCA accredited and the estheticians and massage therapists are licensed and experienced. “We know that women spend most of their lives putting other people first, and as a result, their needs often get pushed down on the priority list,” Victoria said. “We’re here to change that.

OCEAN KNOLL DADS START NEW ORGANIZATION TO ASSIST WITH SCHOOL FUNDRAISING
T
he Fathers of Ocean Knoll Kids is a group of obviously goodhumored dads dedicated to their community and their school. Founded by Lane Paxton and Paul Maes, they explained, “One day we were hanging out, families playing in the background having a good time, and we made the observation that us Ocean Knoll Elementary dads could do more to build the community and help the school with fundraising.” Paul came up with the great name and the rest is history. Lane immediately began working on social media pages and plans for their first fundraiser, the 1st Annual Ocean Knoll Bocce Tournament, which was held recently. According to Lane the tournament was a great success. “We were able to raise over $2,000 for our school, and even more valuable than the fundraising was the amount of fun, camaraderie, and community that the event generated,” he said. Attendees were treated to food donated by Brett’s BBQ and the Sage Garden project at Ocean Knoll Elementary as well as craft beverages, music, raffle prizes, and, of course, fun games of bocce. Proceeds from the event will assist in the funding of Ocean Knoll enrichment classes including music, science, nutrition, garden, Spanish, and reading counts. The dads hope to form a community of Ocean Knoll dads, build a stronger network, and continue to create new events and clubs for Ocean Knoll kids in the future. Stay informed about the group’s activities by following them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fathersofoceanknoll or on Twitter @realfokkers. ¢

:::: BAKERY PROFILE
The Solution 2Good2B® Bakery & Café’s slogan is based on Diana’s life experience:
Eat Smarter • Feel Energized • Enjoy Life®
2Good2B Bakery & Café 2Good2B® Bakery & Café Lets Customers Eat Well and Still Stay Allergy-Free The Why “As doctors start to understand that many diseases are associated with food allergies, the number of people that seek gluten-free foods is increasing,” asserted Diana Benedek, PhD, Founder and CEO of 2Good2B® Bakery & Café with locations in both Encinitas and the Gaslamp quarter – and she should know. With a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Immunology, and a PhD in Engineering, Dr. Diana understands better than most the effects of food on the body, and as one who suffered all her life from migraines, which with time turned into fibromyalgia, cervical herniated disks, Hashimoto disease (hypothyroid), slow adrenals, and depression, she knows first-hand how debilitating those effects can be.
After years of searching for solutions, she understood that the cause is no other than gluten, corn, and soy! And that the only thing she had to do to get her life back was to stop eating all three of these. “In my case, my fibromyalgia was only 60% better by removing gluten and soy, I only got rid of all the pains, got my energy back and started to enjoy my life when I stopped eating all grains (except for rice). This included corn, oats, millet, sorghum, and teff even the “gluten-free” ones. As Diana started searching for gluten-free foods she found that most contained either corn or soy or both, that the taste and texture of these foods were below her standards, and that most restaurants offer some options, but that she would still get sick because of cross contamination in the back kitchen.
42 • 92024Magazine.com • January | February 2015
Although Diana was known in San Diego for her PhD in engineering and expertise in water treatment, once “cured” she put her renewed energy into helping others with the same challenges. She brought together the best pastry chef and the best bread master chef to develop gluten, corn, and soy-free food that tastes, looks, and feels like it is supposed to be. 2Good2B® is now offering more dairy-free, vegetarian, and paleo options to their healthconscious customers that want to stay healthy by fighting inflammation. This comfortable locale, where 50% of its customers are not gluten-free, has won many awards for the quality of their food, proving that Diana’s team succeeded in their mission. “Although in the past I was internationally recognized for my pastries baked with traditional flours, I am proud to say that we have developed recipes that would stand out even against traditional desserts,” stated Chef Rodney LoveJones, General Manager. This local café & bakery is in full expansion. It now has a branch in downtown San Diego and has been approved to sell franchises across the U.S.

Empowering Youth
SDA STUDENT FOUNDS HOME TUTORING SERVICE TO HELP UNDERSERVED FAMILIES photos by Sheila Mitra-Sarkar
S
an Dieguito Academy student Shovik Sarkar believes in the importance of community service. It’s a belief that was inspired by his experience with the IRC Youth Ambassador Program, which taught him about refugee crises and conflicts throughout the world. “Learning about the poor education in refugee camps made me understand why students couldn’t concentrate on lessons, had limited discipline, were struggling with school work, and were as many as three grade levels behind children their age,” shared Shovik. As a result, Shovik started Each One Teach One (EOTO), a program that connects tutors with students in need. “I started EOTO because I realized some families did not have secure access to computers but needed a lot of help,” explained Shovik. He continued, “So I bring my laptop on Saturday afternoons to call in Skype tutors to help those families.” EOTO tutors about 19 children in San Diego and Fort Worth, TX. Over time, Shovik has created a connection with the children and their families. He has helped bring toys, books, and other educational material to these families. Recently, he started a new SAT Target 1800 program to help boost SAT test scores in underserved communities. “It is so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces before and after the tutoring sessions,” shared Shovik. “Before I started tutoring, I never thought I could have made a difference in people’s lives, but I believe anyone can make a difference in society if he/she truly believes in the importance of community service.” ¢

Another Year Gone
T
here are more than a few things that seem a little strange about the new year. For one, having to date papers “2015” is going to be impossibly difficult for all parties involved. But there is also a level of reflection that comes into play that can be a lot to take in – particularly for a high school student. Every missed opportunity at SDA carries just a little bit more poignancy now than it used to. At this point the waiting game has begun. The majority of kids in the class of 2015 have submitted their final college applications, and as terrifying as constantly having to work on them was, not being able to work on them anymore is worse – so much worse. There is absolutely nothing more that can be done except feign indifference to all of your friends while, in reality, you spend the majority of your time Google imaging the campus of your dream school.
44 • 92024Magazine.com • January | February 2015
This building uncertainty has only increased the appreciation for SDA’s timeless traditions. Before winter break, students had the opportunity to participate in the school bazaar, selling and buying a vast array of handcrafted items (which conveniently saved those of us who were running behind on the whole “holiday shopping” thing). The One Act Festival also had its annual appearance, showcasing a plethora of works written, directed, and acted in by students. ASB elections were held and a jazz concert took place. With so many back-to-back events, the past two weeks off have granted students some much-deserved relaxation time. The question now is, as school slowly resumes, who will senioritis claim first? ¢

he 2014 Encinitas Holiday Parade lit up South Coast Highway 101 with over 100 festive floats, bands, and thousands of people in Christmas attire singing, cheering, and celebrating for the special occasion. The highly anticipated hometown tradition has become a favorite event for Encinitas residents of all ages and always manages to bring Christmas cheer and laughs to the city. This year’s theme, “Droppin’ In for the Holidays” celebrated Encinitas’ reputation as the mecca for action sports. Plenty of big name surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, and more were in attendance, with many entering the parade. Encinitas local Tony Hawk was present riding atop a 35-foot skateboard! The floats reflected this year’s theme, with categories including Best Representation of Community and Best Representation of the Year 1986. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
Mostess The Hostess with the
Guidelines for the Season by TORI MORRISON
If
you have been chosen to host this year’s New Year’s Eve cocktail party or special Valentine’s Day celebration, you’ve been given one of the best gifts of the season – the chance to share this special time of the year with your loved ones and transform it into an unforgettable occasion. In today’s fast-paced society, it can be difficult to sit down and start planning for these special events, but it’s also a time to embrace that challenge and transform a party into the event of the year. Don’t fret, we are here to help you slip into those hostess with the mostess shoes with the ease and grace of a seasoned professional. Here are some tips, tricks, and ideas that guarantee your guests will have a good time this season.
Preparations
Party Time
1. Fancy touches
1. Choose the mood
• Crystal dishes make a great impression, even if they are filled with appetizers you took straight out of the bag. • Play with the decorations. Accents, including paper star ornaments, wall confetti, festive drink stirrers, streamers, and garlands greatly add to a New Year’s party. • For Valentine’s Day, try using baked goodies, cards, candles, or candy as center pieces or center piece accents.
2. Perfect that playlist
• It adds to the ambiance, contributes to conversation, and makes everyone feel more comfortable.
3. Love those lists
• Keep a to-do list on hand or stick Post-it notes around the house to remind you of tasks you need to complete before guests arrive.
4. Food selection
• Some of your friends will have special dietary needs, others are just really picky. With food it’s best to stick with simple and delicious. It’s also important to remember your vegan friends and ensure you have fare they will enjoy too.
5. Don’t dirty the dishwasher
• Unload that helpful machine to prepare for the dirty dishes ahead.
46 • 92024Magazine.com • January | February 2015
• Always remember that the mood or vibe you give off is what sets the tone of the party.
2. Introduce other guests
• You’ve brought everyone you love to celebrate this special occasion so make sure they get to know one another.
3. Embrace conversation
• Encourage others to embrace it too and make sure your topics are inclusive.
4. Snap away
• Take photos of the event... heck, take a video! You can use them to review what ended up being successful and what could be improved upon. This will stop you from repeating dishes, and let you know which friends get along well.
5. Be gracious
• Thank your guests for coming by handing out party favors. Not only will this make them feel special, it’s also a great way to end the evening on a positive note. ¢
The Legacy of Teresa Barth
ENCINITAS CITY COUNCIL MEMBER REFLECTS ON FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE photo by Epic Photojournalism
“G
overnment can’t and shouldn’t be expected to do everything. There will be many challenges ahead, but I know that by working together we can accomplish great things,” reflected Teresa Barth when asked about the future of the City of Encinitas. The former city council member, whose term ended on Dec. 9, looks back on her service proudly stating, “I see a body of work that reflects my core values: honesty, social equity, environmental sustainability, and fiscal responsibility.” Barth’s mission has always been to work for the greatest good, and her commitment to service has paved the way for more improvements and opportunities within the community. A desire to establish a stronger environmental voice for the City and a more conducive atmosphere at City Hall impelled her to run for city council. One of her first efforts was to support the creation of a permanent Environmental Advisory Commission. She also greatly increased the amount of time allotted for public input on city issues. “Under my leadership as mayor we doubled the time set aside for public comment at council meetings and recently adopted a Communications Plan to promote transparency, accountability, understanding, and civic engagement,” explained Barth. Barth was named a 76th Assembly Woman of the Year Nominee and was also recognized by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors for her dedication to the best ideals of public service. Barth did not seek re-election this year, however she will continue to serve as a public servant. Looking towards the future, Barth hopes to spend more time with her family members and volunteer with various community organizations to “continue to create positive civic engagement.” ¢

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

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

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Happy 2015 From Nancarrow Realty Group T
he City of Encinitas is a magical place in our eyes. Having been raised in this special little town, we haven’t found any better place to be – the holiday parades, street fairs, farmer’s markets, sweet surf spots, local businesses, people, and lifestyle make Encinitas a great place to live. We may pay a premium in rent and ownership, but we get to live here! In December, the median list price in Encinitas was $1,444,000. The average days on the market were 113. Here are some interesting trends: Millennials between the ages of 18 and 34 are geared up to be the biggest purchasers of real estate in 2015. Many of the millennials’ parents, the baby boomers, are retiring later. When they do retire, they’re going into town centers where there are accessible amenities and more healthcare facilities versus golf courses and senior living properties. Although there’s been a bump in interest rates, they’re historically low. Encinitas may see a larger annual appreciation due to location, location, location. The opportunity to refinance, combined with market normalization, can equate to greater balance between buyers and sellers. Wishing you and yours a year filled with health, happiness, and joy in our beautiful, magical City of Encinitas! Let NRG move you! ¢
