Aiding Animals

PETCO FOUNDATION SUPPORTS RCHS’ MISSION

ncinitas’ Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) has received a $100,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to help them continue their life-saving work. The check was presented to RCHS President Jim Silveira by CBS News 8 television anchor and member of the Petco Foundation board of directors Dan Cohen. “This will contribute to the mission of your Rancho Coastal Humane Society,” said Jim. “Our Friends of County Animal Shelters program helps to save the lives of animals that would not survive in other parts of the country. We partner with shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues from Mississippi to Hawaii and beyond. This grant from the Petco Foundation will expand our reach and enable RCHS to help even more animals.” The spay and neuter program is another area at RCHS that will benefit from the grant. “Here in San Diego County, a pet must be

spayed or neutered before it can leave a shelter. RCHS is developing a program that will provide affordable spay/neuter services for rescues throughout the county. Thanks to the Petco Foundation, this program could become a reality sooner than we anticipated.” The Petco Foundation awards grant investments to organizations that work to make the most significant impact possible with the support provided to them, encouraging organizations and communities to work together in an effort to create a nation where no animal is needlessly euthanized, where domestic animals can be trained to provide service to people and organizations in need, and where all domestic animals can be healthy and find loving homes. To learn more about RCHS visit www.sdpets.org. For more information about the Petco Foundation visit www.petcofoundation.org. ¢

Joy inthe Journey

Encinitas Student Devin Berry Encourages Others Not to Rush Their Dreams by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Soul of Photography

“I

feel that if you are not 100 percent sure on where you want to go or what you want to do, just take some more time,” shared Student Star Devin Berry. Devin is a communications major with interests in the fashion industry. The 19-year-old Encinitas student attends MiraCosta Community College because “I am very picky and I couldn’t make up my mind on where I wanted to go to college. I was afraid that I would get to a school and end up hating it, and either drop out or be stuck there.” With a list of wishes which included a Southern California school Name: School: Grade: Parents: Sibling: Favorite Spots in 92024:

Devin Berry (19) MiraCosta College Freshman Chris and Lisa Berry Carson (16) Swami’s and Beacon’s Beaches, Better Buzz Coffee, Pannikin Coffee & Tea, and the San Diego Botanic Garden

by a college town, not too big or too raucous, with sports, Devin decided the community college path allowed her more time to make difficult decisions about the future ahead. Now hoping to transfer to Loyola Marymount, she thinks it's important for students to know that they shouldn't feel pressured to have their whole lives figured out by the time they graduate high school. Devin has a myriad of life experiences, from community groups to work and internships. She has worked at Crust Pizzeria for four years, where she is the head hostess and a server-in-training. Since working in the fashion industry is a future career goal, Devin will begin an internship with Nordstrom later this year. On balancing work and school, she’s adamant: “I have learned through time that procrastination will kill you!” She never waits to do assignments or projects anymore, because that leads to less time, more stress, and work not reflecting her best effort. She's dedicated much time to her community by joining the National Charity League and through working with St. John’s Catholic Church. A member of Girl Scouts since kindergarten, Devin spent 11 years in Troop 1230 and loved it. “I not only got to spend quality time with my best friends and mother,” she shared, “but I was able to get involved with my community and learn new skills I was able to keep and use.” Her parents are her biggest inspiration and they live a life she’d like to emulate. “I admire them for all of their great qualities and the amazing upbringing I was fortunate enough to have.” Devin Berry is well-equipped to pursue her passions and share her message. “All of these organizations have really shaped me into the woman I am today, and I advise anyone in middle or high school to start getting involved in something that not only interests them but makes them a better person. The end result is so rewarding and priceless.” 

Who Runs the World?

FACE S IN TH E CROWD

VIVIAN LEE PURSUES HER DREAM TO RUN MARATHONS ON ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS

by LYDIA COBB photo by Soul of Photography

ivian Lee, an IT professional, loves nothing more than to run along 92024's beaches and the Coast Highway. She admires her community's surf vibe and the eclectic downtown. She and her husband Jay Yu have two boys: Andy, 12, and Laurence, 9. The family has called Encinitas home since 2007. Vivian started running two years ago with a friend seeking a partner in the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. Her love for the outdoors, and Pilates and Barre studios, fuels her drive. Growing up in Beijing, China, she didn't consider herself athletic outside of rhythmic gymnastics. “Endurance and flexibility are probably my biggest strengths,” shared Vivian. She moved to the U.S. for college and earned her dual master’s degree in information systems and business from North Central College, Illinois. This past April, Vivian visited her seventh continent for one of the coldest runs of her life – the North Pole Marathon. The North Pole Marathon occurred on the frozen Arctic Ocean near the North Pole. “Global warming is real and I had a firsthand experience with it,” reflected Vivian, because the marathon was delayed for a week due to ice cracking on the airport runway. She was one of 47 competitors. For the first 20 miles the snow was only shoedeep, but the last six miles had runners up to their knees in snow. “It was like running in a deep sand dune,” said Vivian. “The temperature was -22 degrees Celsius with a

1 • •92130MAGAZINE.COM 14 92024MAGAZINE.COM • August • August | September | September 2016 2016

wind chill factor of -35 degrees Celsius. I had to take an energy gel with sips of water almost every two miles.” When she called her family via satellite phone at the finish line, Jay informed her that Facebook-posted race stats listed her in fifth place at over five hours. To help prepare her for the cold, her family spent winter holidays in Denver and Quebec. At Mammoth Mountain, Vivian trained by running snow-piled sidewalks instead of carving turns in powder. Vivian’s goal is to complete the Marathon Grand Slam Club in two years, meaning marathons on each continent and on the Arctic Ocean – check! She’s heading to an Australian marathon this summer. Vivian, who grew up atheist in a family that mostly believed in scientific advancements, questioned the meaning of life and sought Zenbased answers for much of her life. “Amazingly, the moment I truly let God into my life, everything about life made sense,” she shared. Faith keeps her on course, along with her supportive family, all the way to the finish line. 

n 1978, Pat and Julie Davis decided to settle down in 92024. The couple raised their four children in what they described to once be a “sleepy beach town." Today, three generations of the Davis family are happy to call Encinitas home. Pat and Julie met in Mission Beach when Pat was in the Navy. After marrying, the couple moved to Michigan – Pat’s home state – for a pediatric dentistry program at the University of Michigan. They had their first son and returned to San Diego upon Pat’s graduation. At the time, Encinitas had a population of 7,000 people and only one pediatric dentist in North County San Diego.

Pat and Julie Davis Matt and Alynda Davis, John and Bec Davis, Annie and Curtis Clave, Elizabeth and Dave McCullagh Ella (10), Tessa (8), Abby (8), Logan (7), Gavin (7), Hailey (5), Caden (4), Charlotte (2), Dylan (infant) Encinitas since 1978

Fast-forward 38 years, and Pat is joined in his dental practice, Davis Pediatric Dentistry, by his son Matt Davis, who has been serving patients alongside his father for 10 years. Son John Davis has also followed in his father’s footsteps. “He recently returned back to Encinitas after serving four years as a dentist in the Navy,” said Pat. Their two daughters have also stayed in close proximity. Annie Clave and her family – husband Curtis and their two children – live in Encinitas. Elizabeth McCullagh and her husband Dave live in Newport Beach with their three children. “We feel so lucky that our children and grandchildren live so close,” Pat and Julie shared. “Right now the grandkids are starting to participate in sports, plays, and school programs, which we love watching!” The Davis family is not without its rivalry though, which is completely focused around college sports. As an alumni of University of Michigan, Pat’s alliance lies with Michigan teams. Son Matt was an athlete at UCLA. Daughters Annie and Elizabeth attended USC, while John graduated from University of Colorado Boulder. “So, we have a huge Pac-12 rivalry going on in the family,” they acknowledged. The family’s affinity for sports also draws them to “any and all things having to do with the ocean and snow,” Pat shared. Family trips to Mammoth and Hawaii top their list of favorite family activities. “Most recently we have enjoyed skiing with our grandkids.” Now, close to 40 years of calling Encinitas home, Pat and Julie Davis appreciate the proximity of family and the opportunities it provides. “There are certainly full-circle moments for us as we watch our own children raising their families,” shared the couple. 

Celebration Concert

EcoFest Encinitas

NEW ART FACILITY TO SHOWCASE LOCAL TALENT

EVENT PROMOTES ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

he Encinitas Arts, Culture and Ecology Alliance officially dubbed its new prospective facility as the Pacific View Academy of Arts with a benefit concert held at The Studio Encinitas. The free celebration was the organization’s way of thanking supporters and bringing awareness to the community of the project’s progress. The ecological theme of the event was water quality, both for drinking and a clean ocean. There was a presentation by Wildcoast about the Swami’s State Marine Conservation Area that runs from Moonlight Beach to Tide Park at Seaside, and Sun Horse Energy offered natural energy drink tinctures and served different types of water. The six performers – who also organized the concert – were all young singer-songwriters from Encinitas: Ashley Mazanec, Kennedy Tracy, Lizzie Waters, Raena Jade, Sophie Wolf, and Grace Humphrey. According to Encinitas Arts, Culture and Ecology Alliance President Garth Murphy, the best part of the concert was “to be able to showcase the depth and quality of Encinitas’ young musical talent pool and watch the appreciative audience embrace them.” Pacific View Academy of Arts will be a cultural arts resource destination and self-sustaining educational/showcase venue for the entire range of art talent in Encinitas, bringing together fine, folk, commercial, cultural, and technical arts at the new campus. Programs will offer teaching and learning opportunities in interconnected fields as diverse as organic permaculture, guitar and singing, writing and publishing, 3D printing, film, fashion, painting, advertising, website design, dance, basket weaving, theater, solar energy, and culinary arts. To get involved with the project visit www.savepacificview.org or email eaceAaliance@gmail.com. ¢

orth County Eco Alliance (NCEA) hosted its 10th Annual EcoFest Encinitas, a free all-day event with performances by local musicians, activities for all ages, craft beers, wine, food, and over 100 green businesses aiming to inspire and educate the community about environmental consciousness. Attendees were able to sample healthy food products, explore the Eco Car show, take a tour of an off-grid tiny home, browse the Eco Art show, and participate in local business demonstrations throughout the day. The festival was organized by interest areas or “pavilions.” Each pavilion featured a number of organizations or businesses that provided information, products, or services related to the pavilion’s focus. Some of the pavilions even had their own center stage area where visitors were able to engage in interactive activities and demonstrations to further learn about the topic. Pavilion focus topics included: water conservation, earth (gardening, composting, and landscaping), wellness, green cuisine, green libations, kids planet, and green schools. Visitors also gathered in the community circle, a ring of hay bales located in front of the main stage, to relax and connect to the message of EcoFest through words, music, and dance inspired by ancient culture. The main stage featured many local artists, including Barnwell Shift, Hullabaloo, and Lee Coulter. NCEA nurtures eco-focused organizations and their communities in the quest to protect the planet. NCEA advocates for collaboration and sharing of information and resources between members and co-marketing activities that create a more powerful community voice.

Friends of the Cardiff-by-theSea Library President and Scholarship Committee Chair Jenny Paschall presented the awards. San Diego Library Deputy Director Donna Ohr and County Supervisor Dave Roberts spoke at the ceremony as well.

Local Students Start Volunteer Program photo by Judy Zinger-Weiss

A group of 17 eighth grade students from Oak Crest Middle School and Diegueno Middle School have formed a new volunteer service group called Assisteens. Assisteens is a dynamic group of teenagers who will assist individuals and families through community service programs. The group is an auxiliary of Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD), which is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of local children and adults affected by trauma, violence, and poverty. As an auxiliary of ALRSD, Assisteens will be involved with various ALRSD philanthropic programs as well, such as Operation School Bell/Camp Pendleton, which provides new school clothes to children of the military in need of financial assistance. The teens held their first meeting in mid-June, where they got to know one another and identified several activities that they would like to become involved with.

San Dieguito’s Youth of the Year Awards

The City of Encinitas Youth Commission held its first Do Life BIG teen leader event in May at the Encinitas Community Center. The Youth Commission, made up of middle and high school students throughout Encinitas, achieved their goal to host an event for local teens to expand their horizons and learn from inspiring individuals in an Daron Joffe interactive, fun, and casual manner. The event was a TED Talks-style opportunity for teens to hear big names speaking about topics like leadership, government, sustainability, and living life with purpose. Most of the local leaders proudly call Encinitas home. Speakers included Tony Hawk via video message, Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, CW6 News Reporter Neda Iranpour, Rancho Coastal Human Society Vice President of Planning and Development Nick Winfrey, and Daron “Farmer D” Joffe from Coastal Roots Farm. The event also featured music by Kennady Tracy, a 15-year-old singersongwriter. Discover more at www.cityofencinitas.org.

Solana Center Eco Container photo by Mark Whitehouse

The Solana Center’s innovative Eco Container, sponsored by Kashi, was unveiled on opening day at the San Diego County Fair. County Supervisor Dave Roberts spoke at the ceremony and cut the ribbon, making the unveiling official. “The event was so educational and I know each of us went home with new information that has us buzzing with hope that we can continue our learning with our very own vermicomposting bin at the Kashi office,” said Natalie Gattrell, Associate Brand Manager for Kashi. “I’m personally so excited to continue enriching our Kashi garden with healthy soil.” The Eco Container is a repurposed shipping container that will serve as a center for environmental innovation, featuring solar energy, a greywater demo system, rain barrels, composting, drought-tolerant landscaping, and California-friendly gardens.

Restored Trail Opens One of the wildest stretches in the San Elijo Lagoon, once off-limits and prone to vandalism, has been restored. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and County of San Diego Department of Parks & Recreation announced the opening of Annie’s Canyon Trail, a moderate to strenuous quartermile loop hike with switchbacks offering expansive views and enhanced recreation opportunities in the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. The restoration of the sandstone slot canyon was made possible by Annie, a 30-year Solana Beach resident and conservancy supporter, whose desire was to expand wild areas for nature and people. Community support was also a large factor that made the restoration possible. The trail was restructured for public access and safety, native plants were installed, and the naturally eroding sandstone walls are now free of graffiti. “We started the process to restore the canyon more than a year ago,” said Executive Director and Principal Scientist for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy Doug Gibson. “Now that it’s open, we all have an opportunity to protect it together.” Learn more at www.sanelijo.org.

Locals Earn Don Diego Scholarship The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation has awarded $40,500 to outstanding students embarking on their studies this fall. Eligibility for the annual awards was open to local high school seniors who have participated in the San Diego County Fair or other activities associated with the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Encinitas residents Samuel “Bubba” Sugarman and Sophia Mock were among the 12 recipients. Samuel received a $2,500 scholarship from the foundation in the 4H category. He runs his own successful business, Bubba’s Bee Biz, and has participated in various competitions at the fair over the years. Samuel will attend Principia College, where he plans to major in engineering with a focus on aeronautics. Sophia won a $1,000 4H award. She graduated from San Dieguito Academy with a 4.18 GPA while amassing impressive honors. She was also involved in many other creative extracurricular activities in the community. She will attend UC Santa Barbara this fall, where she plans to major in chemistry. Learn more at www.dondiegoscholarship.org.

Human Library Exhibit The Encinitas Library recently hosted a “Human Library,” where visitors were able to check out a “living book” in the form of a human volunteer to engage in direct dialogue. There was also a performance by the San Diego Women’s Chorus, refreshments on the patio, and a photo booth. The Human Library concept was created in Denmark as a platform for sharing personal stories, embracing diversity, and building positive relationships between community members. The program is anchored to pillars such as sexuality, religion, social status, and health. CAO Staff Officer Management Fellow Mariana Monasi-Mustelin said, “Especially during an election year, there seem to be more reasons to separate instead of unite, and this was a great way to build common ground and humanize the ‘other.’” The event was presented during Pride Month because the San Diego County Library is committed to creating a safe and inclusive place for all members of the community.

Q&ABarbara Grice EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE SAN DIEGUITO HERITAGE MUSEUM?

HOW DOES THE MUSEUM FUND ITS PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS?

The museum was founded in 1988 by numerous families in the San Dieguito area who saw the need for preserving our local history.

We receive numerous grants throughout the year. The City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation gives us a grant through the Community Grant Program that helps to fund our weekend Families Make History program. We also receive a grant from the County of San Diego that provides funding for our Deep Pit BBQ and the Lima Bean Faire. The rest of our funding comes directly from our donors and membership drives.

WHAT IS THE MUSEUM’S MISSION?

To collect, preserve, and interpret local history: “Building Our Future to Preserve the Past.” WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MUSEUM WITHIN THE 92024 COMMUNITY?

I believe it is extremely important to preserve our local history. We live in a very unique and beautiful part of the world that is ever-changing. We must pass on the stories of the lives of the pioneers of this community. WHAT KINDS OF PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED FOR GUESTS?

We have offered a school field trip designed to provide a hands-on experience for students to learn about local history. This program is targeted for third graders and covers several standards identified in the California third grade curriculum. The students participate in activities that make the museum experience fun and exciting. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MUSEUM FEATURES THAT GUESTS CAN ENJOY?

I would say that our “Al’s Barbershop” exhibit is perhaps one of my favorites. The fact that a lucky hand in a local card game started a new career for Grant Ulysses Johnston is quite an amazing story! Grant happened to be playing cards at the Encinitas Pool Hall and won Al’s Barber Shop – and promptly changed his name to Al to match the sign. So began his new career as a barber! HOW DOES THE SAN DIEGUITO HERITAGE MUSEUM STAY CONNECTED WITH THE COMMUNITY?

The museum participates in a number of local events each year. Events include entering a float in the Christmas parades, representing the museum at the biannual street fairs, and participating in the annual Moonlight Beach Fest. This year we will also have a booth at the first Moonlight Summer Concert at the beach. 28 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • August | September 2016

HOW DID THIS YEAR’S DEEP PIT BBQ TURN OUT?

This year was the 28th Annual Deep Pit BBQ, and it was a great success with plenty of new friends who joined us. Our Deep Pit BBQ is a very unique tradition that originally began in the late 1800s with the vaqueros on the surrounding ranchos. The German settlers added their own homegrown lima beans to feast and the tradition has been passed down through the generations. It has now become a community tradition. DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC EVENTS COMING UP SOON THAT THE COMMUNITY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

We have a bimonthly Speaker Series which we hold at the Encinitas Community Center. Our next big fundraiser is to be held on Oct. 8. This would be our 8th Annual Lima Bean CookOff, however we have decided to re-brand the event as the Beans, Greens, and Other Things Cook-Off in order to be all-inclusive to beans and greens, as well as lima beans! The cook-off brings professional chefs, amateur cooks, as well as one of the third grade classes from Ocean Knoll Elementary School! We have children’s games, a petting zoo, a silent auction, bake sale, and lots of fun photo ops. Families and people of all ages will have fun! DOES THE MUSEUM NEED VOLUNTEERS? IF SO, WHAT KINDS OF VOLUNTEERING POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW CAN PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?

The museum’s lifeblood is its volunteers. We

“I believe it is extremely important to preserve our local history. We live in a very unique and beautiful part of the world that is ever-changing. We must pass on the stories of the lives of the pioneers of this community.”

FUN FACTS • Encinitas was once well-known as the “Flower Capital of the World.” • In 1920, Grant Ulysses Johnston played a lucky hand of cards at the Encinitas Pool Hall and won Al’s Barber Shop — and a whole new career. Johnston walked next door to his new business at 569 First Street (now Highway 101) and promptly changed his name to Al to match the sign. Undeterred by the fact that he had no formal training, Al optimistically began his career as the local barber. • The San Dieguito area is comprised of seven communities. It includes Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiﬀ-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, Leucadia, Olivenhain, and Rancho Santa Fe. • The property on which the museum sits is leased from the City of Encinitas for $1 a year.

Rob Machado Foundation The Rob Machado Foundation’s primary mission is to educate and empower young people to make sustainable choices. www.robmachadofoundation.org

Darren Tkacs is Committed to Maintaining the Natural Beauty of Del Sol by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography

hen Darren Tkacs was 21 years old, he left the East Coast and moved to Southern California. The natural beauty, his love of surfing, and his passion for the environment have kept him here and inspired him to make a difference in the local community and beyond. “Where we live gives us so much beauty, and that beauty should be cherished. It only makes sense to me to give back,” explained Darren when asked why he volunteers for the Rob Machado Foundation. The Rob Machado Foundation was established in 2004 with the primary goal to educate and empower young people about being environmentally conscious and making the right choices for the earth. According to Darren, the foundation also takes on the task of raising money to provide funds for environmentally conscious projects or events.

Two important programs provided by the Rob Machado Foundation are water filling stations for schools and public spaces and innovative trash and recycling solutions at beaches, schools, and surf events. The water stations provide a clean, healthy drink option for children and community members while simultaneously eliminating the need for singleuse plastic water bottles. The trash and recycling solutions protect waterways from waste and save recyclables from entering landfills. “I enjoy being a part of what Rob stands for because not only does he exemplify surf culture, but he is also a committed environmentalist,” revealed Darren, who cites the garbage can installation at Cardiff Reef as one of the most impactful projects in which he has participated. Darren encourages all those interested to contact the

Rob Machado Foundation to find out more about the foundation’s many programs and events, including monthly beach cleanups and the Rob Machado Bro Junior Surf Competition and Concert. Darren also advocates for the humane treatment of animals, including those who live within the depths of the ocean. In addition, he is passionate about healthy and sustainable food sources. “I grew up in the lawn and landscape industry, and I love making things green and healthy. It would be nice if all of us had the good fortune to grow organic foods in our personal gardens. Unfortunately, many of us do not have the option because we lack either the resources or the space,” said Darren. When Darren is not volunteering or surfing, he can often be found gardening and composting. 

Film Festival Fun

STUDENTS INSPIRED TO REALIZE THEIR FILMMAKING DREAMS photos by Stegela Photography

he nonprofit San Diego Filmmakers and the City of Encinitas recently hosted the Encinitas Student Film Festival (ESFF) and Symposium at the Encinitas Community Center. High school and college students came together at the symposium to learn from Emmy awardwinning filmmakers, assist in the creation of two scenes with an A-list production crew, and attend workshops covering various aspects of the filmmaking craft. Writer and director Jordan Roberts, known for such films like Big Hero 6 and March of the Penguins, for which he wrote the screenplays, was one of the keynote speakers at the symposium. Other notable

participants included director of photography Bill Holshevnikoff, camera operator Paul Babin, and Brent Altomare, executive producer and owner of Groovy Like a Movie Studios. Students and faculty were also able to share informal time at lunch with the distinguished presenters, followed by a live Q&A at the end of the day. Approximately 120 students attended the ESFF event, where they later screened their films at the historic La Paloma Theater. Forty films were presented at the festival in two sessions, with roughly 250 viewers at each session. According to Francine Filsinger, San Diego Filmmakers President, Encinitas

Commission of the Arts Commissioner, and ESFF Producer, the highlight of the event was seeing the “dawning flicker of inspiration” on the students’ faces as they created their films. “Giving back makes this type of an event so special to us, but more importantly the students themselves understand more fully their own self-empowerment to realize their dreams,” Francine said. The goal of ESFF is to promote the art of filmmaking while awakening and nurturing the creative talents of students within the framework of an instructive and affirming environment.

LOCAL GIRL SCOUT HELPS SAVE THE LIFE OF FORMER TEACHER

ine-year-old Aubrey Kelsay of Encinitas has been awarded the Girl Scout Medal of Honor, one of the highest honors Girl Scouts can bestow, for helping to save the life of a teacher at Park Dale Lane Elementary School. Kindergarten teacher Bethany Luna was on the Park Dale Lane campus last August when she began choking on a piece of watermelon and was unable to breathe or speak. Several children who encountered her failed to recognize the gravity of the situation, but Aubrey became worried when she saw her former kindergarten teacher. “I love Mrs. Luna and could tell she was in trouble,” the second-grader recalled. Aubrey took action by alerting a teacher, who teamed up with other staff members to aid their colleague. Bethany credits her former student with saving her life. “If Aubrey had not recognized there was something wrong, bravely evaluated the situation and approached me, then calmly responded in a mature and appropriate

manner, I might not be here to watch my own three children grow up,” she said. Aubrey accepted the medal and a letter of commendation from CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA Anna Maria Chávez during an all-school assembly. Past President of the Girl Scouts of San Diego Board of Directors Debbie Rider made the presentation on behalf of Anna Maria. In the commendation letter read at the assembly, Anna Maria called Aubrey “a girl of courage, confidence, and character” and “a living testament to the highest principles of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.” Aubrey is the daughter of Calli and Matt Kelsay. She enjoys participating in Brownie Troop 1043, skateboarding, surfing, and playing the piano.

FROM THE DENTIST

ATHLETIC MOUTHGUARDS Dental injuries are a common consequence of collision or contact sports and recreational activities. Participants of all ages, genders, and skill levels are at risk of sustaining dental injuries at organized and unorganized, recreational, and competitive levels. Obvious sports requiring mouthguards would include football, boxing, and wrestling. Dental injuries are prevalent, however, in many other sports including basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and gymnastics to name a few. The habit of wearing a mouthguard can be established at an early age. The mouthguard should be worn during practices as well as during the game or competition. Since the size and shape of the mouth and dentition is constantly changing in the growing child, the mouthguard should be refitted at least yearly. A stable, nonchanging permanent dentition is obtained usually around 12 through 14 years of age. At this time, the mouthguard can be changed less frequently,

maybe every two years. Special modifications can be made to the mouthguard to allow children undergoing orthodontic care to continue mouthguard use. The medical and dental community supports the use of a well-fitted mouthguard as the best available device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. Mouthguards provide a resilient, protective surface to distribute and dissipate the force of impact, thereby minimizing the severity of traumatic injury to the teeth and surrounding tissue. The mouthguard must be adapted well to the individual so that it can be worn comfortably allowing for adequate retention of the appliance, as well as satisfactory oral function such as swallowing and breathing. The best mouthguard is the one worn during sport activities. Custom mouthguards are considered by many to be the most protective option due to individualized fit,

DR. CHRIS PHAM

however, other mouthguards can be effective if they fit adequately, are worn properly, and can be retained in place. Ask your dentist about mouthguards and their importance for anyone in your family involved in sports activities.

BRO-AM Gives Back

12TH ANNUAL SWITCHFOOT BRO-AM BENEFITS LOCAL CHARITIES

rammy Award-winning alternative rock band Switchfoot celebrated its 12th Annual BRO-AM in July at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The annual event gathered over 15,000 people for the free beachfront concert and surf contest, which raised more than $200,000 to benefit various charities, including VH1 Save the Music Foundation, Feeding America San Diego, A Step Beyond, StandUp for Kids, SIMA Humanitarian Fund, and the Rob Machado Foundation. BRO-AM kicked off with a benefit party, where philanthropists and friends enjoyed an evening of local food and drinks, silent and live auctions, and live performances. The event continued the following day with the beach concert, with performances by Switchfoot, American Authors, Parachute, Josh Garrels, Brynn Elliott, Millionaire Beach Bums, and Echosmith. Children from a local school had the opportunity to join Switchfoot on stage, and nearly 100 children from local youth

charities received free surf lessons and a VIP concert experience. This year’s BRO-AM coincided with the release of Switchfoot’s 10th album, Where The Light Shines Through. “Because these new songs mean so much to us, we wanted to find the perfect place to unveil them,” said band member Jon Foreman. “We all came to the same conclusion – the only place to release these songs would be in our own hometown on our favorite day of the year: at the 12th Annual Switchfoot BRO-AM! This is a dream come true to share our new album with our community first.” Since the inaugural BRO-AM in 2005, Switchfoot has raised over one million dollars for San Diego-based youth charities through funds from vendors, corporate surf team entries, sponsorships, the pre-event benefit party, and an online auction.

Color Your Community

ALLEY ACTIVATION PROGRAM ENHANCES ENCINITAS WITH PUBLIC ART

ncinitas 101 MainStreet Association presented the Color Your Community celebration in a downtown alley where several murals have been completed as part of the first phase of the Alley Activation Program. The event was a handson experience for all ages, offering attendees the opportunity to paint a portion of a new mural. There were muralists painting onsite and other artists discussing their completed murals, as well as live performances by local musicians. Multimedia artist and live art entertainer Amy Burkman conducted choreographed speed painting performances on location as well. Her canvases were then auctioned off to raise funds for more murals and alley enhancements. Attendees were treated to live music and food trucks as well. Artist and entrepreneur Tasha

Wahl’s Butterfly Effect movement was also featured at the celebration, which raised a total of $5,000. Switchfoot’s annual charity surf contest and free concert BRO-AM took place at Moonlight Beach on the same day, raising money for six San Diego charities. “The Switchfoot guys give so much back to Encinitas and enhancing our community is what Encinitas 101 is all about too!” said Executive Director of Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association Thora Guthrie. “It’s no coincidence that our events are on the same day, giving everyone that comes to downtown Encinitas that many more opportunities to support our community!” The Alley Activation Program was initiated by Encinitas 101 MainStreet as a way to add public art by local artists to an otherwise deteriorated area of downtown Encinitas. The program has been successful so far in increasing pedestrian traffic.

The Election and Real Estate T

he presidential election is rapidly approaching, and uncertainty in the real estate market is inevitable. It may seem strange for an election to impact your home’s value, but election years can be stressful and uneasy for many Americans. People are less likely to make large purchases, such as a house, not knowing who will be elected president. Regardless of what party wins the White House, the results will likely affect consumer confidence and the economy. Thankfully, North San Diego County has continued to see an increase in home values since 2009, and the market is continuing with that trend. According to a www.movoto.com study of the California real estate market, “house prices typically rise 1.5 percent less during an election year,” but with interest rates still historically low, buyers are able to get more home for their money. Couple this with increasing rental rates and moderate home price growth, we should see more people take advantage of buying in 2016 making it a win-win for everyone. Whatever the outcome of this coming election, it is important to pay close attention to the market before buying and selling. Everyone’s financial situation is different, and by working with a realtor and mortgage broker you will be in a much better position to make a sound buying or selling decision. Home North County Real Estate is here to help you, and we proudly serve our community by giving a percentage of earned commissions on closed real estate transactions to local charities of our clients’ choice! ¢

A CENTENNIAL

CELEBRATION Be Part of the Pride by Celebrating the San Diego Zoo's 100th Year by SAMANTHA EDWARDS

aterfalls cascading over rocks into pools below, the sun peeking through thick foliage, faint sounds of birds chirping and monkeys laughing in the distance... It's easy to forget for a moment that you're not actually strolling through the jungle! And that is the beauty of the worldfamous San Diego Zoo: it connects people closely with animals in the most natural way possible. The San Diego Zoo, operated by San Diego Zoo Global, has been a pioneer in the zoological sphere since its inception in 1916, from being among the first in the world to build innovative open-air grotto exhibits to making key contributions to medical research, natural science, and wildlife conservation. This year the zoo celebrates its centennial anniversary – 100 years of trials and triumphs, fun memories, and, of course, lots of fascinating animals! With over 3,500 rare and endangered animals, more than 650 species and subspecies, and over 700,000 exotic plants living on the 100-acre property, the zoo is dedicated to preserving wildlife as one of the world's leading global conservation organizations. Some have even referred to the zoo as a living outdoor classroom, educating children and adults alike about the natural world. So for the remainder of the year, join us in celebrating the extraordinary people and animals who have made this beloved San Diego icon what it is today.

ASK THE PLUMBER!

Brockmire Plumbing Services Inc., DBA BPS Plumbing and Drains has been bringing expertise and quality services to San Diego County for over 20 years. BPS Founder and Owner Eric Brockmire began plumbing in 1987. A few years later he knew he wanted to start his own business that would provide better service than the industry standard, and BPS was born. Eric wanted to know why so many plumbing fixtures kept breaking, so he got to the root of the problem. “I realized that the quality of the water had a major effect on the plumbing systems and the appliances,” Eric said. “So I started learning about water...and BPS came up with solutions.” BPS is unique from other plumbing companies in that it directly addresses this issue by offering water quality solutions. “We have access to the best equipment in the industry that will provide you with many years of great tasting and high quality water that keeps your plumbing working great and you feeling healthy.” In addition to water treatment, BPS provides other comprehensive plumbing services, including drain clearing, water heater repair and replacement, leak detection and locating, and sewer inspection and
