:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
TM
South of the Border has Evolved
I
went to high school and grew up in North San Diego County. Having moved from Texas, I thought that I had hit the jackpot. San Diego had the beaches, the mountains, the desert, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla, Los Angeles – all at our fingertips. But there was one other place that was also a gem, especially in my college years. It was Mexico! Long before the recent negative publicity that Mexico experienced, I was making regular trips south of the border. During spring breaks in Rosarito Beach there were more Americans walking the town than Mexicans. During other times of the year, it was not uncommon to make a last minute decision to head to Puerto Nuevo (commonly referred to as “Lobster Village”) for a day trip to feast on fresh Pacific lobster, warm tortillas, rice and beans, and cold beverages. We could be sitting at the table in about an hour and a half if driving from North County. For the more determined, Ensenada was also a very easy day trip. These were good times. Things were much more simple back then. When I met my wife Jessica in the ‘90s, I was introduced to a different part of Mexico. She had been making the trek down to San Felipe for nearly her entire life. Her father had built a home right on the beach in a remote area slightly south of San Felipe as a result of being involved in the Baja 1000 when he was younger. As Jessica and I began our life together and started making the regular trips to San Felipe, I started becoming part of many of her family’s “Mexico” traditions. Carpooling was encouraged – not necessarily for safety reasons; it was simply more fun. There were certain gas stations that you stopped at. There was a specific route that was taken, and a couple of restroom stops (always the same spots). If we were driving in a group, everyone tried to stay together on the five hour commute. When available, walkie-talkies were used (that always added an extra element to the trip). All of this culminated at the Derrick Breaux Breaux Derrick most anticipated stop of the day – downtown San Felipe, where the fish tacos, Publisher Publisher tortas, and ice cold beer signified that we were now on vacation. With full bellies, we would finish the last 30-minute leg of the drive and arrive at my father-in-law’s beautiful slice of beachfront paradise on the Sea of Cortez. Over the years, we have watched Mexico evolve. The horror stories that you see on the news or hear about from “friends of friends” don’t seem to have been a reality – at least in our parts of Mexico near San Diego. However, there is one reality – many Americans simply stopped going. Spring break is now just like any other week in San Felipe. You no longer see the packs of American teenagers and young adults partying at the hot spots and beaches. It’s slower paced. It’s quite peaceful. We recently went down to the house in San Felipe for spring break. It was a quiet trip. We stopped in town for fish tacos per tradition, then spent the next several days doing nothing. By doing nothing, what I mean is we spent our time relaxing, watching our kids play with their cousin nonstop from sunup to sundown in the sand on the beach. We fished. We cooked. We had happy hour – San Felipe style, of course. We were visited by friends from Del Sur. We played board games and cards after dinner (a few house favorites are Mexican Train, Drunk Mexican Poker, and Spoons). There were no moans and groans from the kids of being hungry or bored. In fact, we had to drag our kids to the table for dinner, at which time they consumed quantities of food that I had never seen them eat before. What 10-year-old kid eats four burritos at a single sitting? Once upon a time, the slower paced (let’s call it relaxing) experience wouldn’t have really worked for me. I’ve always been the type to be on the go. I didn’t completely understand the “sitting around” thing. Now I do. I suppose that means I’ve evolved as well.

SANITY-SAVING
TIPS FOR MOM by ELENA DOLGONOS, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Encinitas
Moms become expert jugglers – housecleaning, feeding the baby, working, carpooling, playing chauffeur. Wearing all these hats can make everyday life hectic. Fortunately there are ways to stay calm, sane, and stress-free in the midst of normal family chaos. Short of building a futuristic robot that does everything from cooking and cleaning to making sure the kids get to school, these nine tips should help.
Drink plenty of water. Mild dehydration can affect your body before you realize you are thirsty. Lack of water can cause headaches, fatigue, and lack of energy.
Stay away from those golden cream-filled sponge cakes. When you’re tired and hungry it’s easy to reach for unhealthy snacks, keep up your energy by trying to eat something every two to four hours and selecting nutritious snacks, such as string cheese, fruit, and cut-up veggies. Eating foods with low nutritional value will only add to your stress and your mood swings.
Get out of the house. Even if you are exhausted, go outside for a rejuvenating walk because fresh air and exercise can help put everything in perspective.
Let out your creative self. Create something each day, even if it is just a doodle. This will help you stay connected to yourself.
Ask for support. Don’t be afraid to reach out to others for support, even if that is as simple as calling a friend or checking out a blog. Arrange for a babysitting swap with friends, or ask a trusted family member to watch the little ones while you exercise or get some sleep.

Laugh. Whether giggling or guffawing, laughter is good for you and your family. Laughter reduces your stress by increasing the endorphins to your brain and relaxing your muscles. It should be easy to find humor in the antics of your little ones.
Be grateful. Try writing down three things every day for which you are thankful. Having an attitude of gratitude provides perspective and brings you to the present.
Take time for yourself. Understand that you most likely won’t finish everything on your “To Do” list – ever. So take time each day to do whatever you like. Some moms wake up before the family to read and enjoy a cup of uninterrupted coffee or tea. You may choose to carve out some time to meditate, take a bath, or simply listen to music. Make sure your family understands that this is “mommy’s time.”
Play with your kids. Have some stress relievers you can do with your children, such as drawing, blowing bubbles, dancing, and playing with pets. Stroking the cat, feeding hay to the bunny, playing catch at the park with the dog, or even watching fish glide in an aquarium can reduce stress and can also teach your children to care for others. Raising a family has its challenges but learning to relax and giving up the idea of perfection will let you and your children enjoy the ride, bumps and all.
Elena Dolgonos, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Encinitas. Dr. Dolgonos has expertise in a wide array of primary care services, including women’s health, pediatrics, adolescent health and geriatrics.

Kindness
ANNA LONSWAY INSPIRES OTHERS WITH HER EXTRAORDINARY SELFLESSNESS by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Soul of Photography
W
hen Anna Lonsway’s neighbor was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome – a genetic disorder that occurs in females and causes physical abnormalities and other health issues such as learning disabilities and poor hearing – she was motivated to do something to help. And so Anna hosted the Turner Syndrome Butterfly Fun Run which ultimately raised $7,000 for the Turner Syndrome Foundation. “Children who have Turner Syndrome need shots to help them grow taller which are expensive and not covered by insurance. The money will go to research or medical expenses for families who need it,” explained Anna. At just 14 years old, this young lady is not only giving back to her community but is helping to make a difference in the world.

Anna resides with her family in Olivenhain and currently attends nearby San Dieguito Academy. “I like my school because everyone there is very kind and accepting,” said Anna. “The kids don’t judge each other and accept everyone for who they are.” At school, Anna enjoys her Health Care Essentials course, which offers students a glimpse into different health care careers. Outside of school, Anna is a member of the Young Leaders of Healthcare Club, where she learns about the various medical professions. “I also enjoy 4-H, a club for youth where we learn leadership skills and do fun activities,” noted Anna, who is the community service leader of her club and has planned various community service events. Such events include: volunteering at the Holiday Gift Baskets Program by packaging boxes of food for families in need; pet therapy sessions at local senior centers where pets are brought to the residents for enjoyment and companionship; making valentines for Rady Children’s Hospital; and fruit picking for the San Diego Food Bank. “I am most proud of receiving the Revolution of Responsibility Grant for $1,000, which helped me put on the Turner Syndrome Butterfly Fun Run,” Anna stated of her involvement with the club. Inspired by her parents, Anna hopes to have a future career in the medical field. She also plans on continuing to help others through volunteerism. “My family taught me to be considerate of others and look at situations from other people’s perspectives in order to see how they feel,” shared Anna. “You never know what someone is going through and one small act of kindness can change someone’s day, or even their life.”

:::: LOCAL ARTIST
“Paint Encinitas” founder JAX MEYERS CREATES A MURAL ARTS PROGRAM IN ENCINITAS by LINDA FRABL | photos by Soul of Photography
J
ax Meyers is a vibrant Leucadia resident in her 20s whose strong desire to embellish her beloved surroundings with unique street art has resulted in her founding the “Paint Encinitas” organization in 2014. She elaborated, “Our mission is to creatively unite the community, the artists, and the local businesses to install stunning, thought-provoking works of art in the public eye.” Her mural-planning seeds were sown while Jax was helping at-risk students as a community service coordinator for City Year Philadelphia AmeriCorps upon her graduation from UCLA. She explained, “In that role I had the privilege of organizing murals in the school and organizing other local community events. At the time, I had no idea it would inform what I do today.” Homesick for the laid-back SoCal lifestyle, Jax left Philly and moved back to Leucadia, where her family has lived since 2000. She began working at Hansen Surfboards, her former employer during her La Costa Canyon High School days. Because she was car-less, Jax skateboarded to work every day. Though she loved skating past all the new sights in her community, Jax realized, “After a while, the blank walls started to stick out and I got this idea in my head: why doesn’t Encinitas have a mural arts program?”

Jax Meyers Communications and Outreach Associate Leucadia since 2000 Mural arts Grandview Beach, Lotus Café, and San Diego Botanic Gardens
So Jax boldly walked into the building that houses the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association, whose aim is to promote the Historic Leucadia North Coast Highway 101 corridor, and told the staff that she wanted to organize the construction of local murals. They encouraged her and Paint Encinitas was conceived! The volunteer-led organization has helped construct three murals: “Remember California,” by Skye Walker on the north wall of the Royal Liquor store in Leucadia; “Natural Rhythms and Cycles,” by Taylor Gallegos on an electrical box at the EUSD Farm Lab; and “Encinitas Harmony,” by Micaiah Hardison on the Moonlight Beach 7-Eleven. The organization also supports countless artists and produces art shows in alternative spaces. Discussing the importance of incorporating provocative art into our society, Jax exclaimed, “When art sticks out everyone knows about it and it creates a buzz. That buzz leads to a conversation. That conversation leads to the awakening of a new perspective. And ultimately that new perspective has the opportunity to transform the way we look at the world!”

YOUNG ENCINITAS PHOTOGRAPHER PURSUES HIS PASSION FOR “ACTION SHOTS”
N
ot many 13-year-olds can say that they have started their own business based on their true passion. Even fewer can say they’ve started two, unless they’re Encinitas native Mason Schneck. A young entrepreneur-in-the-making, Mason discovered his passion for photography a few years ago after he received a GoPro camera. Because the camera was waterproof it allowed him to explore his interest of water-shots, such as capturing surfers up-close. Upon realizing that his dream was to one day have his photos on the covers of surfing magazines, Mason knew he had no choice but to invest in his budding passion. As for the inspiration to start his own business, Mason explained, “Our family does not have much extra money, so I was inspired to figure out how to make it myself so I could buy the camera and housing.” After saving up for over a year he purchased a Canon 7D and a water-proof case. The businesses that Mason worked on in order to save for his equipment included the marketing of skateboard grip-tape, skateboard contests, and now photography. As for his future as an entrepreneur and photographer, Mason admitted, “I hope to sell many photos and someday work professionally in photography taking surf, sport, and action portraits.” Aside from photography, Mason is interested in making stop-motion videos, creating grip-tape for skateboards, and working on his website. Mason’s short-term goals include finishing the development of his website and selling more
prints of his photos. With the support of his friends and family, Mason continues to strive to hone his craft. For Mason’s photography visit www.instagram.com/masonsphoto. ¢

he Encinitas Mile took place on March 15, during which more than 300 runners laced up their running shoes and raced along Vulcan Ave. in downtown Encinitas. The athletic event is a one-mile road race on a fast, flat, spectator-friendly, USATF-certified course. Participants had the opportunity to sign up for seven different heats: Kids (ages six to 12), Open Men or Open Women (ages 13 to 39), Masters (ages 40 and up), Elite Women (those who run a 5:20 mile and faster), Elite Men (4:40 mile and faster), and the Dog Mile. This year new records were set in the Elite Men’s Mile with a time of four minutes and 14 seconds. The Elite Women’s Mile had a new record of four minutes and 46 seconds. The canines gave their all this year as well, establishing a four minute and 45 second record. Of the proceeds made by the milelong race, $2,000 was donated to the event’s nonprofit partner, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. ¢
Social Media for Motherhood
ENCINITAS WOMAN LAUNCHES A COMMUNITY FOR MOTHERS
N
ew moms have never been more connected than in this age of gizmos and gadgets. To further support this statement, local mother Beth Bryan and her business partner, Jillian Darlington, have cofounded a hub for mothers of all kinds to be able to connect with each other, schedule play dates, and share their experiences of motherhood. The app also allows for vendors with businesses aimed at parents to create profiles accessible to users. Beth is a wife and mother of two who balances her life in Encinitas with her business, MomCo – the app that brings mothers together. After meeting Jillian and discovering the initial idea, Beth immediately saw the value that the MomCo app could provide. She remembered how hard it was when she moved to Florida a few months before she found out about her pregnancy. After experiencing that kind of isolation, Beth decided to put her effort into making sure mothers are always able to connect with local mothers and businesses. When discussing the importance of mothers being able to connect with one another, Beth related, “It is so important that moms build a ‘mama tribe’ that will support them when they are low and celebrate them when they shine.” Many other mothers certainly agree with this idea because after the soft-launch in San Diego, hundreds of mothers signed up for the app. The app has since had a national release and is available to download for iPhone and Android.

hen discussing Michelle and Bryan Zeigler, it’s not necessary to talk about each seperately – it’s ‘them’ all the way. Michelle and Bryan both went to Mission Estancia, Diegueno, and Santa Fe Christian High School, and even set off together for Biola University. They were engaged as high school seniors and married the summer following their freshman college year. “We lived in married housing at Biola University and loved it,” Michelle explained. Bryan went on to USD Law School, and they returned to Encinitas to start a family.
Parents: Children: Community: Parents’ Hometowns: Parents’ Occupations: Pets: Favorite Places to Visit in Encinitas:
Michelle taught kindergarten for seven years, but as the family grew to four boys she had the opportunity to stay home with them. Bryan worked as a prosecutor until severe back and hip injuries took him out of the game. He’s been a Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy for the past 13 years, where his commendations included Reserve Deputy of the Year Award and a legislative award for his work on the Cedar/Paradise wildfires. As the boys have grown, they've enjoyed artistic and messy endeavors of all kinds, from paint, Play-Doh, and sidewalk chalk to

We just had to put down our house cat after 16 years with our family. Our favorite place to go in Encinitas is Moonlight State Beach to let the boys play in the ocean. We also enjoy walking along Swami’s and spend a lot of time at local parks and playgrounds.

recreating Pokémon characters. Michelle could see the need for the arts to be addressed. Clara’s Creations was named after Bryan’s mother, who was very artistic and would volunteer in Michelle’s kindergarten class doing art with students. Clara also inspired Bryan. “She always spurred him onto going to law school and fighting for justice.” Her desire was for Bryan to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, former Baltimore Mayor and Maryland Governor. “Eisenhower’s first choice for Vice President until Nixon came along and stole the show,” Michelle smiled. Clara’s Creations is a home-based art studio offering workshops and classes for kids. “I wanted to honor her legacy by naming my art business after her,” Michelle confided, “as she has been a big part in mine and my husband’s life.” The goal is to provide more art exposure to all children, and Michelle would like to raise the funds to open a kid’s art studio in Encinitas. Michelle and Bryan know it’s difficult with four children for each one to feel special, so they make sure to alternate time for oneon-one interactions in addition to their favorite once a week family movie night. The art aspect is crucial. “It is fun for me to watch the creativity bloom as each boy grows,” mused Michelle.
“IT IS FUN FOR ME TO WATCH THE CREATIVITY BLOOM AS EACH BOY GROWS,” MUSED MICHELLE.

Theater Workshop for Teens with Autism
Positive Action Community Theatre (PACT) began in 2008 as a community theater serving the Encinitas public. Soon after opening their doors they were contacted by parents of children with autism asking if they could participate. PACT has since designed inclusive theater and performing arts workshops that give children, teens, and adults with autism and other disabilities the tools they need to live happy and fulfilled lives. Workshops consist of a mix of peers with and without disabilities. Volunteers from the community serve as peer mentors. “These individuals need advocates that will help them to bridge communication barriers so they can give their gifts to the world,” explained Executive Director Kathryn Campion.

Putting a Spring in Your Step
The Silver Linings Transitions (SLT) team and crew of volunteers decorated walkers, wheelchairs, and canes with flowers and lace at the Coastal Club Temple. The event served as a fundraiser to raise money for Interfaith Community Services and Jewish Family Services in support of low income seniors. While they fundraise to help seniors within the community, the crew also helps seniors “age in place” in their current home. SLT helps elders move things down to lower shelves, remove clutter, and make their home more safe. “I felt so much appreciation towards the elders for their lifelong learning and wisdom that they were willing to share with us, and towards Silver Linings Transitions for making it possible,” said Sandra Tashoff, an attendee of the event whose walking stick received a springthemed makeover by the SLT team.
A United Nation of Immigrants
The Anti-Defamation League hosted its second annual “Nation of Immigrants” community Seder at The Ranch in Encinitas.

More than 90 San Diego community members including educators, school and government officials, law enforcement, and leaders of many faiths and ethnic groups were in attendance. As guests arrived at The Ranch they were welcomed by African drummers from Senegal, and then marked the countries where their families came from on a world map. Several community leaders presented special readings that included poems by Cesar Chavez and Maya Angelou. At the Seder’s closing, all participants joined together in a rendition of “America the Beautiful” in celebration of diversity.

Surf brands didn’t offer the performance Chris wanted for yoga and working out, and athletic brands didn’t have the style and comfort for everyday use. His goal was to help produce clothes that will keep everyone skating, surfing, and snowboarding for many years. “I believe that fun, fitness, and exercise are critical to a healthy and vibrant life. I hope that Vuori can influence and inspire a new generation to stay active and healthy while enjoying life,” related Chris. “We are pretty new, but our plan is to grow and represent the Encinitas lifestyle to the world.” For more information visit www.vuoriclothing.com.

ince the days it was known as Quail Botanical Gardens, the San Diego Botanic Garden has helped people develop a respect and appreciation for nature. The Garden aims to create programs, volunteer opportunties, and overall memorable experiences for those who seek to be surrounded by flora, fauna, and fun. From summer camps to festivals, the Garden has something for 92024 residents of all ages. We speak with President and CEO Julian Duval about the Garden’s mission “to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature,” and we provide a look at upcoming projects for this beloved botanical garden.
by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography San Diego Botanic Garden is a beautiful garden oasis nestled on 37 acres in the midst of Encinitas. More than 4,000 different species of plants are found throughout the Garden including endangered, unique, and native plant species. “Thanks to our mild Southern California climate, plants from all over the world thrive here. Our diverse topography provides a wide variety of microclimates, giving visitors the sensation of strolling through a tropical rainforest or hiking in the high desert. Four miles of trails wind through 29 themed gardens including two specially designed for children – the acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden and Seeds of Wonder,” stated Julian Duval, President and CEO. The mission of the San Diego Botanic Garden is to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature. Each of the garden areas is unique and provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the plants as well as learn about the flora that surrounds them. For example, the Tropical Rainforest area includes a spectacular waterfall set amidst a lush rainforest and shady green paths, while the Landscape for Fire Safety Garden is an area where guests can learn about fire-safe plants, landscape design, and maintenance. In addition, guests can explore the Bamboo Garden, which houses the nation’s largest collection of bamboo, some of which is enjoyed by the giant pandas at the San Diego Zoo!

Education and Events
Agricultural development of what is now the San Diego Botanic Garden began in 1917 when Donald Ingersoll and his family built a home on the property. In the 1940s the property was sold to Ruth and Charles Larabee. In 1957 Ruth Larabee donated 26 acres to San Diego County with the stipulation that the property remain a haven where people could enjoy and learn about plants and wildlife. The Quail Gardens Foundation Inc. was formed in 1961 and 10 years later, Quail Park – as the Garden was previously known – was opened to the public. In 1993, due to budget constraints, San Diego County withdrew its staff and support from what was then called Quail Botanical Gardens. San Diego Botanic Garden is now managed by the Quail Gardens Foundation Inc. which consists of a board of trustees, a professional staff of about 30 people, and many dedicated docents and volunteers.
San Diego Botanic Garden provides classes, tours, and events for visitors to connect with the natural world around them. Birdwatchers gather together each Monday morning at 8 a.m., docent-led tours occur every Saturday morning, and special group tours can be booked in advance. Classes are also offered in a variety of subjects from planting a vertical garden to creating beautiful wreaths made from succulents. Visit www.sdbgarden.org/classes.htm for the most up-todate schedule of classes.

Throughout the year the Garden offers a wide variety of interactive, fun, educational, and family-friendly events. During the summer months families are invited to enjoy some outdoor fun at Thursday Family Fun Nights. These events occur from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., May 28 through Aug. 27, and feature live music. “By far our most popular event and annual gift to our community is Garden of Lights. This year the event will take place from Dec. 5 through 23 and Dec. 26 through 30 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.,” said Duval. “In addition to the events put on by the Garden, many private special events take place on the grounds of the Garden. Areas of the Garden can be rented for events such as children’s birthday parties, holiday celebrations, and weddings. Our Gazebo Lawn, Walled Garden, and Waterfall Deck areas are very popular among brides and grooms.”
“We all live in increasingly urban environments. It was so different when the Larabees lived here in a house that was less than 1,000

there is plenty of evidence of the health benefits when we do take the time to visit a place like the San Diego Botanic Garden. I am convinced that all of us humans desire a connection with the rest of the living world that goes beyond our dependence on the real world in providing the essential air, water, and food we depend on. The Garden is truly a place of rejuvenation for everyone. Knowing this we made the Garden free of charge for a month after the tragedy of 9 /11,” said Duval.
Fauna Among the Flora Spaces such as the Garden are also important natural habitats for native wildlife, including year-round, wintering, and migrating birds. “The Garden is considered a local birdwatching hotspot. In 2014 nine new bird species were sighted at the Garden. To date, 136 different birds have been spotted including the varied thrush, yellow-breasted chat, purple finch, white pelican, black-and-white warbler, and the crested caracara,” stated Duval. Children and adults alike also enjoy seeing the Garden’s namesake birds – the quail – that live on the property and have their own enclosure in Hamilton Children’s Garden. In the spring visitors will often see mama and papa quail wandering through the Garden with up to a dozen “cheepers” (babies) following close behind. Visitors can also see crows and red-tailed hawks circling overhead and, on most days, a pair of mallard ducks can be spotted on the property. In addition to birds, the Garden is home to many lizards, rabbits, squirrels, and frogs. Perhaps the most famous animal on the grounds is Sam, the Galapagos Tortoise. Sam, who has a special history with Duval that dates back nearly 50 years, is a therapy animal for special needs individuals. Duval has many stories of how Sam has helped people over the years. One particularly heart-warming tale stands out among the others. “As Julian was sharing Sam with a group of autistic youngsters, his wife saw one nonverbal young man standing back, away from Sam. When she let this young man know that Sam is shy and also doesn’t talk, it made a connection with this autistic youngster that gave him the courage to approach Sam and become his friend,” related Lisa Reynolds, Public Relations and Marketing Manager at the Garden. Though Sam is not currently on display for the general public, he can be seen in his enclosure by visitors taking in the stunning ocean view from the Overlook Natural Area. It is hoped the Sam can be available for special events and engagements in the future.
Connecting with the Community As a part of the Garden’s overall mission to connect plants with people, employment and volunteer opportunities are offered through two organizations for local North County adults who are developmentally challenged. Through Advanced Options, volunteers help clean the signs that are located throughout the Garden and perform general clean-up work in Hamilton Children’s Garden each Wednesday afternoon. Through Community Interface Services, volunteers assist with general upkeep in several of the 29 garden areas every Wednesday. Most recently, the Garden has contracted with Employment and Community Options. The contract with this organization will allow several high-functioning special needs individuals to serve food and beverages at a coffee cart that will be located adjacent to the gift shop. “We are particularly pleased about our partnership with Employment and Community Options who will provide a coffee snack service for SDBG. They have a proven track record with the Jitter Bean Coffee Cart they operate and we know they will provide a much appreciated service for the Garden’s guests. We also believe the work environment will be of benefit for those that staff the snack service for the Garden,” said Duval. Duval also recognized the County of San Diego’s partnership and their most recent $20,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant, which is funding the new refreshment area where the coffee cart will be located. “We are grateful to Supervisor Dave Roberts and our friends at the County for their generous support, which will enable us to add this muchneeded amenity to the Garden, including tables, chairs, and signage, as part of the Live Well, San Diego initiative,” said Duval.
Making a Difference at the Garden According to Duval, volunteers of all kinds are essential to the operation of the Garden. There are many different areas for individuals who are interested in volunteering to donate their time, energy, and special skills. “Volunteers can serve as ambassadors in our Welcome Center, work as sales representatives in our Garden Shop, or utilize their skills in any of our departments including membership, development, accounting, operations, marketing, or events,” said Duval. Opportunities are also available for local residents to become docents and lead tours for classes, visitors, and VIPs, or to become a trustee and help guide the vision of the Garden into the future.

he City of Encinitas and San Dieguito Academy Foundation came together to celebrate the critical role that the arts play in schools and the community by presenting the 4th Annual Encinitas Arts Festival at San Dieguito Academy Performing Arts Center. The festival was free of charge and welcomed all community members. Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar and County Supervisor Dave Roberts kicked things off by opening the festival at noon. The theme, “Passport to the Arts,” offered 22 dance, theater, and music performances on three stages by students and professionals. The afternoon also featured art-making workshops, an Artist Expo and demos by professional artists, a Battle of the Bands, a student art exhibit, interactive chalk art, and gourmet food trucks. The festival highlighted arts education in Encinitas public and private schools. “We want the community to experience learning in the arts firsthand to better understand why all students need arts education,” said Commission for the Arts Chair Judy Thum. Ultimately the annual event supports the grassroots effort to increase arts education for 92024 students. ¢

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD A MAN OF MANY TOOLS, GERRY BEDARD FINDS EVERYTHING HE NEEDS IN 92024 by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Soul of Photography
Y
ou could catch him capturing life with a camera, wielding a few woodworking tools, or leading local law enforcement. But mostly these days, you can catch Gerry Bedard enjoying his new life in 92024. Gerry’s life in Encinitas is a blend of woodworking, photography, writing, and volunteering. He enjoys the weather, outdoor opportunities, and finding ways to combine many of his interests into one afternoon. “Sometimes I enjoy a perfect combination of recreation, creativity, and serenity. I ride my motorcycle to a secluded hiking area with my camera,” he explained. But things weren’t always this slow paced. Gerry recalled when it all started. “Twenty-eight years ago I bought a Chevy van and went on a road trip.” While in the Florida Keys, he met an acting stunt-group and traveled the country with them for four years. His travels led him to meet his wife, a photographer in Texas. She taught Gerry a few of the basics and back in his home state of Massachusetts he began working as a photojournalist for several newspapers. He developed a deep philosophy behind his work: “I believe that an artist does not capture an image – the image captures the artist.” Successful in his art, Gerry found another calling – police work. Starting as a reserve police officer, he was soon noticed by those in higher ranks and asked to apply for a full-time position. He made the
rank of sergeant in three years. Responsible for arresting individuals on warrants, Gerry recognized the source of many criminals’ problems was addiction and always attempted to connect them to addiction resources. On his last day on the force he ran into a young man he had previously arrested three times. The young man, who had now been sober eight months, and his mother thanked Gerry for not giving up on him. Today, Gerry volunteers as a cook at Interfaith Community Services in Escondido and is on the Search and Rescue team. He is also the co-chairman of the volunteer emergency preparedness/ neighborhood watch in his community. Gerry also finds time for his woodworking. Most recently, he has begun crafting new pieces that look like antiques. With used wood and New England inspiration, he focuses his latest projects on the shabby-cottage-chic style, even opening his own Etsy shop. These days, whether Gerry is holstering a camera or a hammer, he is enjoying all that life offers in 92024. Above all else, Gerry asserted that the most important thing one can learn to do in life is "open your heart, listen to your inner voice, and be kind to yourself and others."

A Heart of Fire
LOCAL SPEAKER INSPIRES OTHERS TO OVERCOME FEAR
A
fter sustaining a burn injury in her early life, 92024 resident Lesia Cartelli decided to speak the truth of her journey to selfacceptance, self-love, courage, and strength. Her new book, Heart of Fire, is based on the lessons she has learned from her mission to rid herself of the emotional pain that developed after her injury. “In Heart of Fire I talk about the power of facing your deepest fears and the freedom that comes along with it. I tell the story of how I went back into a structure fire to face my fear of fire head on. I suited up in full firefighting gear and faced the dragon,” revealed Lesia. The book is a deep reflection of her search for the blessings in life’s challenges. Lesia expanded, “This book is not just about surviving a burn injury. It’s more than that. It took me a few years to find the courage to speak openly and three more years to write about it.” Lesia not only inspires others through her writing, but she also teaches women how to self-heal through her nonprofit, Angel Faces. She started the organization in 2003 for girls ages 12 to 18 who have suffered traumatic injuries. The mission is to provide a safe place for girls and young women to heal from the loss and grief of their injuries. However, Lesia’s lessons are valuable to anyone. Her ultimate goal is to inspire people to ask themselves about their own journey and find the courage to overcome their pain.

SAME DAY SMILES CAD SMILES BRINGS NEW SMILES TO PATIENTS IN JUST ONE VISIT by RANDI CANTRELL | photos by Tyler McElhaney
E
ddie Corales of CAD Smiles believes that a person’s smile is an important part of their personality – it can reflect their lifestyle and attitude and is often the first thing that others will notice. His passion to help others find their perfect smile began five years ago when he started CAD Smiles, a company that focuses on same-day smile makeovers. Today he works with over 200 dentists all over San Diego County who own CEREC CAD/CAM technology, and provides tooth restorations, full-mouth rehabilitations, implants, dentures, and many other services. In previous years, if crowns or dental veneers were necessary for a patient, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between visits was inevitable. The CEREC CAD/CAM one-of-akind technology has changed these dental procedures completely. It now allows the smile designer to take digital scans of a patient’s teeth and work with them to personally customize a smile in just a few hours. “CAD Smiles is the only company in San Diego and the U.S. that offers same-day smile makeovers

with a certified technician, or smile designer, onsite,” Eddie explained. “This means that a patient can come to the dental office with a smile that is not satisfactory to them and leave with a smile that suits them.” Dr. Claudia Cortadi is one local dentist who works with CAD Smiles and the CEREC CAD/CAM technology. According to Dr. Cortadi, dentistry at its best goes beyond merely treating teeth. She explained, “Dentistry involves truly working with and communicating with people. There are few things I enjoy more than watching my patients leave the office with a brighter, healthier smile.” The atmosphere of CAD Smiles Same Day Smile Centers is similar to that of a spa rather than a traditional dentist’s office. Patients are made to feel comfortable and at ease, and more importantly, are included in the process of designing their new smile. “With our service, there are no uncertainties,” Eddie continued. “The final result is predictable because the dentist, patient, and smile designer work together in perfect synergy. We apply the principles of visual art to the composition of the customized smile to create a result
that expresses the patient’s personality and lifestyle, and ensures harmony between the restorations and the patient’s physical appearance, values, and attitude. It is a service you won’t get anywhere else.”

SurfAid Celebrates 15 Years of Service
NONPROFIT HOSTS BENEFIT CONCERT TO EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN ITS COMMUNITY
S
urfAid is an international relief aid organization that is celebrating its 15th year of providing successful maternal and child health programs to the Mentawaii Islands of Indonesia. The islands that SurfAid donates its time and resources to are so remote that the surf tourism provides the only visitors. The organization is located in Encinitas and is largely supported by the local beach and surfing community. After witnessing the needless suffering and preventable deaths during a surfing trip, the founder of SurfAid, Dr. Dave Jenkins, was inspired to take action and dedicate himself to helping create the nonprofit organization. Before the organization’s aid to these islands, particularly the island Nias, eight mothers out of 150 deliveries died in childbirth. Today, SurfAid has reduced that number to zero. They have successfully established community health centers, education on malaria prevention, nutrition, and access to clean water. They also work on disaster preparedness and relief to benefit the locals. Now, in celebration of their 15 years of success since their establishment in 2000, SurfAid is holding a benefit concert with San Diego Music Award’s New Artist of the Year, Cody Lovaas. “Dr. Dave will be visiting our Encinitas office the week of March 23. We are hoping to use his visit as an opportunity to educate the community of the success of SurfAid and where we are 15 years later,” said Erin Miserlis, Developmental Director of SurfAid. The event is
meant to educate the community about the work and success SurfAid has accomplished since its establishment. The concert won’t be the only component of the 15th year celebration. Erin elaborated, “We will have a few other events during Dave’s visit.” For more information on the organization visit www.surfaid.org. ¢

tailored living TURN YOUR HOME FROM A CLUTTERY MESS TO A CHARMING RETREAT
C
lutter. It’s the bane of many homeowners. And it seems just as the clutter has been cleared, more clutter arrives to take its place. Tailored Living has been helping area homeowners rediscover their homes and fall in love with them all over again. “Clutter gets in our way of seeing our homes for all they can be,” said owner Dana Nuesca. “We can help you get a handle on your clutter and beautify your home too.” Getting started is the most difficult part. So Dana recommends starting with small tasks such as a corner or a drawer. “One task that has helped others is Toss 50, which means a homeowner will discard or recycle 50 items throughout the house during one week’s time,” offered Dana. “Get rid of broken items, discouraging items, and things that don’t work. They’re just dragging you down.” Once you clear up the clutter, know what you’re keeping and have a pretty good idea of where you’re going to keep it, Tailored Living will visit your home and design a storage solution just for you. “It’s not helpful to purchase a cookie cutter storage solution,” said Dana. “Tailored Living uses space design software so we can create a number of storage solutions and review them with the homeowners to make sure the chosen design meets their specific needs.” She added, “Once homeowners cut through the clutter, they can see the inherent beauty in their homes.” Tailored Living of North County San Diego featuring PremierGarage began operation in 2014 and is owned and operated by Escondido residents Kalani and Dana Nuesca. The company proudly serves homeowners and businesses from all over North County, offering storage solutions for garages, closets, pantries, mudrooms, home offices, and even guest rooms through complimentary in-home estimates and consultations, professional measuring, and installation.

State of the City a Success
92024 RESIDENTS CELEBRATE ENCINITAS’ PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
T
he annual Encinitas “State of the City” was recently held in the Encinitas Community Center where 248 people gathered for an evening of fun, feasting, and learning. The evening was coordinated between the City of Encinitas and the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce to give guests an idea of what’s happening and what to look forward to in 92024. The evening began with time for guests to socialize, network, and enjoy the food and drinks provided by local restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Later, guests listened to speakers from different areas of Encinitas, the Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor Kristin Gaspar, who gave the State of the City address. Representatives from Congressman Darrell Issa, State Senator Pat Bates, Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, and County Supervisor Dave Roberts’ offices were also in attendance. New to the evening’s itinerary was the presentation of videos created for the “Love My City” youth video contest. The winners of the contest were awarded and greeted onstage by the mayor. “This event brings together our city’s representatives, our business organizations, and our residents to keep abreast of what has been going on within our city,” said Mimi Gattinella, Office Manager and Board Member for the Chamber of Commerce. With a high demand for tickets, the event is a sell-out each year. Mimi commented on the need to expand, “Each year residents are disappointed that the event is sold out
due to the limited capacity of the room.” The disappointment proves the event’s success. It’s an event that residents are eager to be a part of, for good reason. ¢

Spring Forward
S
pring break. Two words. Eleven letters. Thousands of students rejoicing in the sweet, sweet relief. In more ways than one it marks the final stretch of the school year. AP tests are just around the corner and so is – I can’t believe I’m saying it – graduation. Lately, event after event has crowded the SDA calendar, from this year’s Theatre for a Cause production, Of Mice and Men, to Senior Olympics. Jazz concerts to sports games. Truthfully, spring break was less of a “break” and more of a brief respite from the many exciting things in the works, including “A Night in Italy,” the huge collaboration within SDA’s visual and performing arts department. Among the student body there is a particularly intense, vibrating energy. Sure, part of it is from the warming weather (admittedly, it’s not our place to say that we ever “endured” winter). But a larger part
of it is from simply enjoying what is left in this year. With college acceptances now out, everyone in the senior class is beginning to decide on where they will be furthering their education. In a simple sentence: things are falling into place. That frightening, abstract concept commonly referred to as “the future” is slowly but surely gaining definition, and there is a solace to be taken in that. It’s really easy, at this point, to start getting overly nostalgic about everything: the friendships, the teachers, and the classes. But we still have several months to go – and the class of 2015 has every intention of making them the most memorable yet. ¢

:::: EDUCATIONAL PROFILE
MiraCosta College MiraCosta College has achieved 80 years of service to its community by changing and adapting to the needs of its citizens. Through all the growth and change, one thing remains the same: MiraCosta College is shaping minds for success. We speak with the school’s new Superintendent/President Dr. Sunny Cooke about what makes MiraCosta so relentless in its mission to transform lives through education.
Q&A with Superintendent and President
Dr. Sunny Cooke What makes MiraCosta College so unique? What makes it stand out among other community colleges in San Diego? MiraCosta has an excellent reputation for its dedication to students and their success. Everyone here really cares about the institution and they’re willing to invest their time, energy, and talent to make the college even better. Also, because of the way the college is funded, we have the ability to grow in a very strategic and planned way to meet our community’s needs. This gives us the ability to really focus on the quality of interactions with students and their success, rather than simply the number of students enrolled at a particular point in the semester.
close to home and at an affordable price. In 2014, the college celebrated its 80th year!
What is your role as superintendent/ president of MiraCosta? My first priority is to get to know the people here and learn the culture of the college. I want to listen, learn, and figure out where I can best apply my energy to help the organization, students, employees, and community. I’m taking the time to meet with all departments across the college so I can get to know their history and accomplishments.
Can you tell us more about your professional and educational background? I earned my doctorate in biology at Georgetown University and completed a postdoctoral training program at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I have more than 25 years of teaching and administrative experience, including as a biology professor; director of a biotechnology institute; dean of sciences, health and wellness; associate vice chancellor for workforce development; and most recently as president of Grossmont College.
bring new partnerships and opportunities to MiraCosta and showcase the amazing work that goes on here.
How many students are currently enrolled? What goals have you set to increase enrollment? We have nearly 15,000 credit students and approximately 2,500 noncredit students, plus another 2,000 fee-based students. Over the past decade, we have met the explosion in enrollment by expanding our online course offerings and also by offering courses on Fridays and even on the weekends. As we go forward, we hope to renovate outdated buildings and explore the possibility of adding more buildings on campus to serve our growing student population.
What types of resources are available for students? Students have access to services in tutoring, financial aid, counseling, career planning, scholarships, and more. And it’s all free! We also have opportunities for internships, volunteering, and service learning that contribute to the community and provide workplace experience for students. ¢
What type of degree and certificate programs do you offer?

SNORKELING
SAN DIEGO
Snorkel into Summer and Explore San Diego's Underwater Landscape by LAINEY KRAL
S
an Diegans don’t have to travel far to discover a whole new world this summer – we live just a splash away from two unique snorkeling spots. La Jolla has something to see under the sea for novices and experts alike.
If you don’t have gear, there are plenty of local places to buy or rent from. A snorkel and mask are the basic essentials. Make sure the mask fits and feels comfortable. It should seal tightly to your face without requiring you to overtighten the strap. Optional equipment includes fins for greater speed and maneuverability, snorkeling vests for some extra buoyancy, and wetsuits for colder waters. Snorkeling novices may choose to sign up for a tour or class to get some in-person instruction. If you’re going out with just your family, you should check in with the lifeguards when you get to the beach and ask about the current water conditions. La Jolla Cove is a favorite snorkeling destination, with three distinct areas to explore. Straight out from the south end of the cove are kelp beds teaming with fish. Up the coast to the north is a series of sea caves, best visible in low tide. Advanced snorkelers can swim into the caves, but be careful of unexpected wave surges. The middle of the cove is
48 • 92024Magazine.com • May | June 2015
the most popular spot for snorkeling. The wide variety of fish are used to people and will often swim up close. Look out for the California state fish – the bright orange Garibaldi. You may also spot rays, sea slugs, urchins, or other aquatic creatures. Right down the coast is La Jolla Shores. For most of the year there’s little to see at this beach besides sand, but every summer La Jolla Shores becomes a nursing ground for hundreds of distinctively spotted leopard sharks. Unless you happen to be a small crustacean or mollusk, it’s perfectly safe to swim out among them. The visibility can be low with the waves stirring up sand, and the sharks are easiest to spot just when the visibility starts to improve. Swim straight out from The Marine Room restaurant until you reach a depth of four to five feet, then keep swimming to the left and right. Move slowly to avoid scaring them off. While the sharks can be found as early as June, their numbers will peak between August and September. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Live in Encinitas Happy in Home and Heart T
he real estate market is never dull in Encinitas. Encinitas is one of the most desirable cities in which to live in San Diego. The trend in residential real estate sales in Encinitas is showing fewer days on market. Home sales are outstripping supply, which indicates a seller’s market. Being a seller’s market (limited inventory along with lower interest rates) goes back to the old supply and demand adage. In our professional opinion, we’re going to continue to see an upward trend in pricing in Encinitas over the next six months. How high can we go? One thing is certain, if you’re fortunate enough to live in Encinitas, you’ll be happy in your home and in your heart! ¢
