Traditions.
A
s we approach the holiday season, you can’t help but reflect back on family traditions and memories that most of us have been fortunate to grow up with. It’s very easy to turn on the “autopilot” and get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life – our work schedules, house duties, playing taxi driver for our children. The list goes on and on... I recently attended a business seminar in Las Vegas. A topic that came up frequently throughout the seminar was family traditions and memories – specifically childhood memories. To be honest, until I was asked to recall and analyze some of my best memories over the past 39 years, I had not given it much technical thought. Sure, everyone has memories – some that they hold dear to their heart and some that they may want to forget. But forcing myself to take a trip down memory lane proved to be a rewarding and enlightening exercise. I believe that there are a few types of memories (generally speaking) that are welcomed and tend to stand out in most people’s minds – the good memories and the memories surrounding family traditions. I can easily pull up the good memories. Childhood sports. Playing with friends in the neighborhood. Video game marathons. Derrick Breaux Family vacations and road trips. Awesome cardboard box forts! Publisher But one of the things that is easy to overlook is the stability that comes along with traditions. Most of our family traditions involved holidays. Growing up, there were always certain things that I could rely on. To name a few, I knew exactly what we were going to be doing on Christmas Eve every year. I knew what food would be served for Thanksgiving. I loved the annual family camping trip – always at the same lake and campsite. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I definitely found peace in the consistency that came along with these traditions. My son made me feel good the other day when we were discussing our upcoming holiday plans. My wife and I were bouncing a few different ideas around when he blurted out, “but we always cook gumbo on Halloween and Christmas Eve!” In his mind, I’m sure the little things like cooking a family favorite on certain days of the year are just “what we do.” But they are actually so much more than that. I intend to continue with as many of the traditions that have been passed along to me, and I hope that one day my kids will be able to reflect on these traditions and choose to carry them on and introduce them to their own families. To family, creating memories, and carrying on with great traditions. Happy Holidays! Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Many studies have shown that the money spent in local business stays in community. For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $45-$68 goes back into the community and our tax base.
Local Owners are Local Contributors
Local businesses give a greater amount of money into the local causes. Non-profits received more support from local business owners than they do from non-locally owned business. They also directly inject money into the local economy through payment of wages and benefits to local residents. More of your money is used to make purchases from other business and service providers thus strengthening the economic base of our community.

Growing STRONG
N
orth County’s “Teen Volunteers In Action” is growing strong, confident young men as the charitable organization provides a framework for teenage boys, 7th through 12th grade, to volunteer in the community. They track their hours and commitments, and attend educational lectures and workshops. This year, TVIA boys attended a lecture by Wai John Wai, one of “The Lost Boys of Sudan” profiled by 60 Minutes. He is also the founder of the Sudanese American Youth Center in San Diego. “Upon hearing about his difficult childhood journey out of Sudan, I came to the realization that my journey is effortless, even for the faint of heart!” said Adam Alsadek, a Torrey Pines High School junior and class vice president. “His story really spoke to me and compelled me to help those that don’t have it as easy.” Keenan Salvati, a senior at Francis Parker High School, has joined the TVIA Leadership Council and is Chair of the group’s Karen Refugee Committee. “Working with the Karen Refugees gives me a rewarding sense of community service,” said the soccer and lacrosse star. “Tutoring and helping these kids who are all refugees from Burma is very gratifying; it’s rewarding to see them progress and learn.” “TVIA brings together boys from a variety of backgrounds. Our chapter includes students from different high schools; public, private, and homeschooled,” said SD1 Chapter President Susan Lyon. “I know these boys will graduate and go out into the world with a better sense of how it should work and be inspired to give back.”

Fabulous Finds
Where Finding Treasure Supports Charitable Causes
E
photos by LYDIA COBB
ncinitas is home to four charity resale shops that raise funds for animal and social service programs. Collectors and bargain-seekers never know what they’ll find. A clarinet? A bicycle? Oil paintings? Shoppers will even find designer labels, including Coach, Jimmy Choo and Tommy Bahama. And, the search for treasures and necessities supports the community. The original Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) Thrift Shop (established in 1960), benefiting animals, was located off a dirt road that would become Interstate 5. One founding volunteer is still there today. “We get a lot of thrift shop manifestation, where folks will drop in for a very specific item and find it here on their first try,” said Brian Cook, RCHS Store Manager. The store has expanded three times in the last year and a half. Inside the shop at 120 Aberdeen Dr. in Cardiffby-the-Sea, merchandise includes furniture, clothing, books, antiques and housewares. “Tax-Free Wednesdays” make bigger ticket items more affordable, in addition to Sunday and Monday half-off sales on reduced merchandise. Community Resource Center (CRC) Thrift Shop (established 1980) benefits programs for families in need and victims of domestic violence. The shop relocated five years ago to 111 C St. in the original Poinsettia shipping warehouse.
12 • 92024Magazine.com • November | December 2013
“This store is like the old general store,” said Robert Pontier, a CRC store manager. “We don’t have clients – we have friends come through.” Each weekend, a color tag sale features half-price items in the specified color category. On Tuesdays, shoppers draw an envelope at checkout offering a surprise discount on books, DVDs, designer clothing, electronics, housewares and furniture. Hospice of the North Coast Resale Shop (established 1985) is located at 278-B N. El Camino Real. The shop carries apparel, diverse jewelry selection, books, art and small appliances. Sales support Hospice programs for ensuring a peaceful life-through-death experience. Each month there is a one-color tag sale for half-price clothing all month long. Fabulous Finds (established 2002), operated by Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito, is located at 1542 Encinitas Blvd. This is a smaller shop and savvy collectors know size doesn’t matter. The shop carries books, furniture, adult clothing and housewares. Hug-ABear is one of the trauma victim programs supported by store sales to comfort children in tragedy. On Saturdays, select items go on sale. Donated inventory is updated daily at most of these locations. Shopping for unique and everyday items is a way of giving back this holiday season and all year long.

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD
DENNIS COOK The Man Behind Encinitas’ Iconic Herman Cook VW Dealership by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Soul of Photography
D
ennis Cook began working at his father’s car dealership, Herman Cook VW, during his summer breaks from 1967 to 1970. “…When I graduated from San Diego State University, I came to work full time,” said Dennis. Shortly thereafter, he and his father became business partners and for ten years Dennis helped his father keep the dealership’s reputation in good standing. His father retired in 1980 and, today through his efforts to maintain strong ties to the community, Dennis continues to do his part to keep Herman Cook VW an icon in 92024. Dennis and his wife, Susan, have been married for 43 years. “We met at San Diego State University, where I served dinner at her sorority house,” he shared. Together with their sons, Collin and Connor (who, by the way, have both worked at the dealership – Connor
is currently the finance director), the family has lived in Olivenhain since 1980, where they have enjoyed the area for its quality of life, weather, and location. Another perk to living in Olivenhain, explained Dennis, is his short commute to work. “I live seven minutes from work,” he described. “It has always been important for me to be involved with my family and community, and that is one of the reasons I have chosen to live and work in the same community.” And in his community, Dennis has certainly made an impression. Apart from running Herman Cook VW, Dennis is a member of the Rotary Club of Encinitas. “My wife and I started the Encinitas Rotary Cup Soccer Tournament 25 years ago and were the tournament directors for 14 years,” he said. “I am the past board chairman and have

Name: Dennis Cook Age: 66 Community: Olivenhain since 1966 served on the board of the Ecke YMCA for 28 years.” Dennis is currently the President of San Diego County Volkswagen Dealers Association, and has served on several Encinitas School and City boards. “I also coached soccer with Leucadia Lightning for a premier traveling team for 10 years and was a soccer ref,” he added. While continually looking for ways to help improve the community, Dennis’ most recent project is helping to rewrite the general plan for the City, something he hopes to see finished by the end of next year. When asked about the most rewarding part to staying connected to the community, Dennis replied: “Watching my two sons grow up in the same community and watching that community change over time – but it remains a great place to live.” ¢
Former Owner of Weidner’s Gardens Becomes Encinitas Holiday Parade Grand Marshal by AMY LEHRER
E
velyn Weidner’s parents were in the nursery and flower business, and she wholeheartedly embraced their path. In 1968 she moved to Encinitas to join the large community of growers who selected this area for its perfect growing climate. She and her husband Bob opened Weidner’s Gardens, and it blossomed each year as they added crops, opened earlier and later each season and developed the Weidner brand name of blooming plants. Those buying plants that have the Proven Winner’s tag attached to them have Evelyn and Bob Weidner to thank. Evelyn reminisced, “The folks who come to Weidner’s Gardens aren’t customers, they’re friends, and we care about their gardens and want to help them become better gardeners.” Earlier this year Evelyn passed the torch to the younger generation by selling her business to her head grower, Olive Storm, and her head manager, Kalim Owen, which allows her even more time to support her community.
No newcomer to community service, this year Evelyn humbly agreed to perform as the grand marshal of the Encinitas Holiday Parade. She is also actively working to transform the San Dieguito Heritage Museum by preserving the past and present in an appealing way. Because Evelyn enjoys meeting and getting to know people while simultaneously making her community a better place, she has also served for many years on the board of the Community Resource Center, has been a member of the Encinitas rotary club, has been an active member of the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church and has been a member of the San Diego Flower and Plant Association. Additionally, Evelyn loves spending time with her three grown children and their families, reading, gardening and traveling. Her secret ambition is to travel across the United States, stopping at every lake and river to either fish or swim.

or Preslea Wilson, playing soccer comes naturally. According to her mom, Jenn, Preslea discovered her soccer talent early on. “Preslea started playing soccer at age four, and we noticed she was a true natural. Without any coaching whatsoever, she tried out for the Carlsbad Lightning Red competitive team. With only two spots left, she made the team,” stated Jenn. Preslea is now a top player on her team, scoring 11 goals and leading her team to victory in the 2013 Carlsbad Cup Championship. Perhaps even more impressive than Preslea’s achievements on the soccer pitch, is her passion for helping others. Recently, Preslea was one of the top fundraisers for Cal South TOPSoccer, a program designed to give players of all ages with mental or Name: Age: School: Grade: Parents: Sibling:

At home, Preslea can often be found helping her two younger brothers and younger sister with homework, something for which Jenn is extremely grateful. Preslea is also a well-rounded girl, who gets exceptional marks in school and has many interests. “I love soccer, running, gymnastics, surfing, horses and candy. God is a big part of my life, too,” stated Preslea. At the tender age of nine, Preslea Wilson is someone who has already taken the world by storm and is making an impact both on and off the soccer field. With her talent, compassion and determination, there is no doubt that #11 will make her dreams come true. ¢

Love on a Leash
The Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy by ROBIN KAUFMAN | President, San Diego Love On A Leash
W
hat do libraries, schools, hospitals, veterans facilities, domestic violence centers, and court rooms all have in common? They, along with a number of other places, all receive pet therapy visits from Love On A Leash (LOAL), the Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy organization. Love On A Leash is a national, non-profit, all volunteer organization established in 1984. The goal is simple – to bring smiles and comfort to those who are visited by a pet therapy animal. Pet therapy animals are privately owned and can be a dog, cat, or rabbit. The dogs can be pure breeds, mixed breeds, and come in all sizes. LOAL does not raise and train dogs to be service or companion animals. To become a fully certified LOAL pet therapy team, dogs must have basic obedience skills and a good temperament. After graduating from a six-week pet therapy training class and passing a control evaluation test (as well as passing the Canine Good Citizen test), the dogs and their humans must then complete a minimum of 10 supervised visits. For cats and rabbits, a veterinarian must certify their health and temperament. After initial certification, those pets must also complete a minimum of 10 supervised visits. There are three LOAL chapters in San Diego County – San Diego Love On A Leash (sandiegoLOAL@aol.com), which covers the north county inland areas; San Diego North County Chapter (mgleisberg@cox.net), which covers the north county coastal areas; and the San Diego Central Chapter (sandiegocentralloal@gmail.com), which covers everything in-between. To learn more about Love On A Leash, visit the national website at www.loveonaleash.org, or San Diego Love On A Leash’s website at www.sandiegoLOAL.com.

About the Chef Chef’s name: Chassie Bell age: 32 Family Members: Husband – Steve Bell, Dog Kids – Cera and Rylee Community of residence: Encinitas – a fixer upper with lots of projects and a garden hobbies/ interests: It probably goes without saying that I love to cook and host dinner parties but outside of the kitchen I am devoted to animal rescues, yoga, meditation and instagramming my furry babies. Favorite Local activity: Encinitas Farmer’s Market – I love the small market vibe! I can get my green juice, veggies and a delicious homemade treat from April’s Oven. about the recipe: I love this recipe because it embodies everything that food should be – delicious, fun and healthy! By using spelt flour, coconut oil and a combo of coconut sugar and maple syrup to sweeten the cake I’ve created a fabulous dessert that you won’t feel guilty about and can show off to guests during the holidays. For dinner parties I use an oversized muffin pan to make individual cakes and then top it with a dollop of frosting and dash of cinnamon. For breakfast the next morning I skip the frosting and serve it with a farm fresh egg cooked in ghee. about the Chef: I am incredibly passionate about food and nutrition. My love for cooking began at an early age in the kitchen with my mom making lemon squares from her faithful Betty Crocker cookbook and has since blossomed into a full blown love affair with food. My views and thoughts have evolved tremendously through my education at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and I’ve taken those tools and applied them not only to my life but also to those that I work with. A self-professed healthy foodie and former Coke slurpee addict, I have spent years perfecting techniques to upgrade some of my favorite dishes and have learned to sneak greens into everything I cook. I believe in bringing fun back into the kitchen and sharing good food with people you love. Through my own journey to health I have learned that healthy, healing and nourishing foods can be fun to make and delicious to eat. I am an expert at navigating the tricky shelves of natural food stores and the art of cooking once and eating multiple times. I like to think that my methods in the kitchen are fun, educational and healing. Check out more of Chassie’s delicious creations at www.forkinhealthy.com. ¢

The Giuliano Family Loves the Beach Life by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Soul of Photography
L
ife in New Encinitas is anything but new to the Giuliano family. Natives of Encinitas, Paul and Kelowna met years ago at Leucadia Pizzeria. But it would take six years before the couple was finally set up by mutual friends. Patience paid off. Today, Paul and Kelowna, along with their two children, Eli, 7, and Harper, 4, are an intricate part of their hometown community. Just this year, the family made the move from the Moonlight Beach area, and the house Kelowna grew up in, to New Encinitas. The move has offered new opportunities in 92024.
Parents: Community: Hometown: Profession:
Paul Giuliano (41), Kelowna Giuliano (37) New Encinitas since 2013 Encinitas (both) Paul – Teacher/Lifeguard, Kelowna – Holistic Health Practitioner Children: Eli Giuliano (7, Flora Vista Elementary, 1st Grade), Harper Giuliano (4, Kids By The Sea Preschool, Pre-K) Pet: Sparky the Flashy, a fish
“We miss the [Moonlight Beach] neighborhood, but feel blessed by the warm sunshine, lots of space, great neighbors, proximity to schools, community pools, parks, and everything else this part of Encinitas offers,” Paul said. Paul and Kelowna, both alumni of San Dieguito High School, have established careers contributing to their community. Paul teaches U.S. History and Ocean Surf Lifesaving at La Costa Canyon High School. After the class bell rings, Paul stays engaged in his school community, playing in a band named The Credentialed. “Everyone in the band is an educator in the San Dieguito Union High School District, and they raise money for student scholarships and to support the arts,” Paul explained. Kelowna is a Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Integrative Healer, and Reiki Master Teacher at Tranquility Retreats in Encinitas. She also volunteered in the garden and library at Eli’s former school, Paul Ecke Central, and looks forward to helping in his new school at Flora Vista Elementary. Giuliano family life is defined by the beach. “Above all else, we love surfing and being at the beach,” Paul acknowledged. In the summer season, he is a lifeguard for the City of Encinitas and instrumental with the Beach Kids program at Moonlight Beach. Kelowna enjoys surfing, and is even up for a little friendly competition, participating in the local surf contest at Stone Steps every summer. Last year, Kelowna took first place, while scoring a second this year. The kids, too, are taking an interest in the water. Eli’s interest in body boarding is growing, and Harper is learning to swim. “Swamis is our family spot,” Paul confirmed. Home is deeply rooted in Encinitas for the Giuliano family. Living in 92024 offers Paul and Kelowna the opportunity to stay grounded in their community, while cultivating the Encinitas lifestyle for Eli and Harper. ¢

On Oct. 3, The Ocean Knoll Educational Farm celebrated the launch of its educational and community-service project. The ribbon was cut with the help of many supporters: County Supervisor Dave Roberts, Encinitas Mayor Teresa Barth, Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer, Council member Tony Kranz, North County Health and Human Services Director Chuck Matthews, Jimbo’s owner Jimbo Someck, Encinitas Union School District trustees Marla Strich and Carol Skiljan, Assistant Superintendent Leighangela Brady, and Principal Angelica Lopez. Healthy Day Partners developed the Ocean Knoll Educational Farm for EUSD, transforming a densely weeded, unused plot of land into a working farm. The OK Farm is the first in the nation to develop the Global Seed Saving program as part of an educational program. The Farm is also the home to the community’s first Food Forest, which will provide access to fresh fruit. This space will serve as an outdoor classroom for students during school and for the community.

Gordon plans to become an orthopedic surgeon. He said, “I’m not just working on my dreams but my parents’ and grandparents’ dreams of success for their children and children’s children.” For more information about The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation, visit www.dondiegoscholarship.org.

t Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC), the focus is on getting to the source of the problem when a child is struggling academically. “Sometimes smart kids have trouble learning in school. When parents don’t know why their child isn’t reaching their potential, is spending too much time on homework or isn’t motivated to learn, they come to us. It’s natural for a child to want to learn, so if they are having trouble paying attention or appear unmotivated, we find the underlying reason and fix it,” explained Maria Bagby, Reading Specialist, Educational Therapist and owner of Therapeutic Literacy Center. She and her highly qualified and experienced staff help students of all ages with either diagnosed or

non-diagnosed dyslexia, ADHD, auditory processing deficits and those who struggle with reading, writing, spelling and math through developing their underlying processing skills including processing speed, working memory and the many aspects of auditory and visual processing. According to Bagby, 20-30% of the student population has difficulty with auditory processing without knowing it and 20-25% are somewhere on a continuum of dyslexia. These issues can deeply affect reading and all academic areas causing a student to struggle in the classroom. Bagby has years of experience in the educational system, both as a classroom teacher and administrator. She holds advanced degrees in early childhood psychology, reading and curriculum and assessment.

The goal was and continues to be to care for the homeless animal population of San Diego County, educate the public about pet over-population, and responsible companion animal care.
RCHS has grown from a small facility run by volunteers to a professionally managed humane society today that provides quality shelter care, adoption services, education programs, and an animal safehouse program for the survivors of domestic violence. We had the opportunity to talk with the RCHS team to discover the great impact the nonprofit organziation is making on the community and surrounding areas.

Local Author, Publisher and Literary Agent Bill Gladstone Inspires Readers Worldwide by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography
A
s a literary agent, Bill Gladstone has represented some of the most influential authors of the last several decades including Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Linus Torvald, creator of Linux, and Tom Anderson, creator of Myspace. He is also an accomplished author himself, having written the fictional novels The Twelve and the recently released The Power of Twelve. “My primary goal is to entertain, inspire and provoke thought in my readers, perhaps even helping to make the world a more joyful place by doing so,” stated Bill. Bill’s roots in the literary world run deep – he was born into a book publishing family. Bill’s initial inspiration came from his father who founded Arco Publishing. His own adventure began with him doing favors for friends, including documentation writers for Kaypro, one of the earliest personal computer companies. “Indirectly, my relationship with Andy Kay of Del Mar led to my original focus on representing computer authors,” said Bill. And that focus led to his company, Waterside Productions, becoming one of the most important sources of how-to computer information in the world, publishing the Dummies series of books and many other informational publications.
36 • 92024Magazine.com • November | December 2013
Over the years, Bill has been a vital part of the ever-changing publishing world, serving as an advisor for the first e-book, print on demand and online learning companies. “Change is constant; sometimes it takes 10 years or more to become an ‘overnight success.’ This industry may evolve, but books will always be part of our lives,” related Bill, who also founded and created one of the foremost technology conferences in publishing. Bill is truly a local success story, having built his literary agency and publishing empire in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. However, before settling along the coast of northern San Diego, he graduated with an undergraduate degree from Yale and a graduate degree in cultural anthropology from Harvard. “As a recent graduate, I traveled the world as a researcher for Rod Serling’s In Search of Mysteries television show,” revealed Bill. Now that he is firmly planted in Cardiff, Bill can often be found playing golf and tennis, his two favorite pastimes. In fact, he is the current Poinsettia Golf Champion at Encinitas Ranch Golf Course. He also loves to barbeque and enjoys getting together with “positive idea people.” Whatever he is doing, it is certain that Bill Gladstone is living life to the fullest in the community. ¢

he Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito recently finished a major renovation to their Griset branch gym located in 92024, adjacent to Oak Crest Middle School. Nearly $100,000 was invested in renovations and upgrades that included: a new roof, interior paint, lighting and fixtures, and new basketball backboards with breakaway hoops. “We are extremely grateful to the generosity and support that we receive from the Price Charitable Family Fund and the numerous other supporters,” said Jim Miller, Griset branch board member. “Collectively, our organizations serve a great need for the many youth in San Diego County. Their donation and support allows us pursuit of our mission that we established in 1966 and continue to develop and refine as we foster today’s children into tomorrow’s leaders.” The Griset gym was the first gymnasium built at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and was completed in 1972. The Griset branch, one of the organizations seven branches, was completed in 1971 by Ray Griset, who at the time was a local bean farmer, and a team of dedicated volunteers. The branch was named in honor of him and his family, who not only built the Club, but who also nearly paid fully for it. “The Boys & Girls Clubs are an incubator for children to develop great futures,” stated David H. Crean, CEO. “Through this investment of donorship contributions, we are able to continue to provide exceptional programs and activities in quality and safe facilities for children who need us most.” ¢

The years of experience have built a wonderful business. The knowledgeable sales staff at The Faucet Factory are motivated and committed to doing the job right the first time. “We are sticklers for detail,” Curt explained. “We have a great reputation, and you can count on us to provide our quality products on time.” Although customers can get all different types of common plumbing and hardware products, The Faucet Factory also carries exclusive and

We welcome you to bring in your house plans so that we can help you select the fixtures and hardware for your next new bathroom, kitchen or dream home.” In a less obvious home improvement choice, The Faucet Factory offers Leisure Steam and Microsilk bathtubs.

SDA Campus Life
S
an Dieguito Academy (SDA) is home to diverse selections of entertainment and fun-filled activities that evolve each year. This year SDA has re-amped its style and has introduced a variety of opportunities for the Mustang students, both new and continuing. From comedy and the arts, to academics and sports, SDA has kicked off the school year in an industriously creative way. Comedy and theater have been an important part of SDA’s culture since the beginning, and they are here to ensue. The Comedy Sportz team, an improvisation group of about six competing students and over 10 noncompeting students, deliver hilarious shows of audience participation and bespoke skits each month. SDA honors its Comedy Sportz team, as they are a diverse collection aspiring to be the next Drew Carey or Will Ferrell. Being a fan of comedy, I have attended almost every game of my fours years at SDA and can proudly say that I have never laughed so much outside of the theater. Parents, relatives, and friends of the Mustangs, don’t be shy, attend the next games on Nov. 1 or Dec. 6. You may regret it if you don’t. For the first time, Saturday Night Live (SNL) came to SDA. The drama production class put on a reenactment of SNL skits instead of the usual fall play. Being an editor for the The Mustang newspaper gives me
42 • 92024Magazine.com • November | December 2013
the advantage to preview events such as this. Classic SNL skits such as Spartan Cheerleader, The Target Lady, Mighty Mouse, and Girlfriends Talk Show were reenacted with an SDA student twist, making it a powerfully hysterical performance. Sports: a term most North County residents don’t associate SDA with, being in the shadow of the sports-centric La Costa Canyon High School. However, with the re-construction of the SDA stadium field, this demonstrates the commitment to continue to invest and enrich in the athletic programs. There will be an artificial turf, a synthetic track, and a stadium reconstruction scheduled to be complete around 2016. SDA has always been known for their academic clubs and interests. This year they’ve added AP Art History and Engineering classes which seem to be the most popular. Cheer Club and Astronomy Club are also new and during the first quarter, more clubs will be announced. As you can see, SDA provides a nice menu of academics and sports activities, as well as satisfying the creative and artsy minds of the students. It’s a shame that this is my last year at SDA. I’ll be somewhere on the East Coast, shivering in the winter and longing for Encinitas. ¢ Gabby Catalano is an incoming senior at San Dieguito Academy.

E
very year, Whole Foods Market raises money to put salad bars and gardens in local schools as part of the Whole Kids Foundation. This year, Whole Foods Market stores held a fall event that would provide families in the community with a hands-on volunteering experience. Since Pacific Rim Elementary School was one of the garden grant recipients in 2012, they decided to partner with them to re-build their garden for the current school year. On Sept. 7, almost 60 volunteers came out to support the cause. Once the work was done, Whole Foods Market provided the volunteers with a salad bar lunch, and Emily from Whole Foods Encinitas taught the kids about “eating the rainbow,” including the health benefits of incorporating many colors into their meals.

:::: HOME TIPS
BIG CHANGES little things,
Tips to Freshen Up Your Home by JESSICA WOODS
H
ow many times have you made the promise to yourself to make some changes in your home? Let’s clean it up, repaint the walls, build a gazebo, or buy a new dining set! Well, let’s hold the horses for a second. This coming new year doesn’t mean you need to make big purchases or strip your house to the bare bones to make way for some new feng shui. Sometimes it’s the tiniest change in details that make all the difference.
A Coat of Paint
Duct Tape Decorating
In my neighbor’s foyer was once a wooden standing cabinet. It was well-used and getting on in years, but she noticed that it was a bit of an eyesore. Instead of buying a whole new cabinet, she repainted it. Not just plain black or white though, but a beautiful shade of teal that was pleasing to the eye. Before you decide to replace the cabinets or an old armoire, consider a trip to the hardware store and have some fun finding a color that would complement the room. For an additional look, you can change the handles or knobs along with that new coat of paint.
Fuzzy Frames Winter’s coming, so here’s a way to make your pictures and living room look a little cozier. Grab some plain wooden frames, old or new, and a few balls of colored yarn. Detach the backing of the frame, leaving just the square. Take a string of yarn and start wrapping it around the frame until every space is covered, and glue the ends down. When re-attaching the back, it’ll be quite snug, but can be resized to fit.
44 • 92024Magazine.com • November | December 2013
I know you’re probably thinking “Duct tape? Really?”, but duct tape has become remarkably versatile lately. Not only is it the most durable, long-lasting tape around, but if you enter any craft store, there’s a whole plethora of different colors and patterns to choose from. Take a blank lamp shade or a vase and apply a layer of duct tape. With a pair of some sharp scissors, it’s easy to make abstract patterns, mix color blocks, and make a design all your own. Decorate the lamp shade with some colorful waves, or add some duct tape flowers to the base of the vase, to make them look pleasing. This is especially fun for kids of all ages.

Add a twist to a trip to the beach by collecting seashells to make unique gifts or to decorate holiday packages. For a special treat, walk along the cliffs of Point Loma to see migrating gray whales headed south for breeding season.
Drive up to the top of Mt. Soledad in La Jolla for a birds-eye view of the city aglow with holiday light displays.
Holiday Happenings
Winter in San Diego includes an abundance of holiday-themed festivals, parades and awe-inspiring spectacles. Parades include the Mother Goose Parade in El Cajon (Nov. 24), the Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade (Dec. 8), and the stunning San Diego Bay Parade of Lights (Dec. 8 and 15). The Surfing Santa event at Seaport Village (Nov. 24), December Nights in Balboa Park (Dec. 6 and 7), and Christmas in the Park in Poway (Dec. 14) are always a hit for kids and adults alike, featuring food, crafts, holiday treats and activities.

Sometimes a little peek at the changing of the seasons is required to get into the holiday spirit. Take a drive up to Julian for gorgeous fall colors and maybe even snow during December and January. Don’t forget to order a cup of hot apple cider and a piece of apple pie!
It (Almost) Never Rains in San Diego
On the rare occasion that it rains, there are plenty of indoor activities that appeal to a variety of interests. See an IMAX film at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and then visit one of the 15 major museums in Balboa Park. Take the trolley downtown and explore the New Children’s Museum or head to the San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum in Escondido. For sports enthusiasts, skate at one of several of San Diego’s indoor ice rinks, or reach new heights at an indoor rock climbing gym. Regardless of the weather, it is not hard to experience some wintertime fun in San Diego. ¢
Encinitas goes European for the popular fall festival
T
he 18th annual Encinitas Oktoberfest was a tremendous community event that was attended by well over 20,000 residents and visitors alike. This ethnic German fest, traditionally held in Germany from mid-September through mid-October, is the first Oktoberfest Celebration in San Diego County each year and turns everyone into a German for a day. Brats, beverages, sauerkraut, and giant pretzels (oh, and don’t forget the strudel!) were served up to the lively crowds. Also offered were polka and chicken-dancing, stein holding contests, root beer drinking contests, a fun-zone for the kids, and vendors galore for the shopper in all of us. It was a day that had something for everyone. Danke schön, 92024! ¢

Remodel to Add Value and Enhance Happiness by DIANE and KEVIN SILBERMAN
T
his fall, 52% of homeowners plan to do a home improvement project or an addition, according to Zillow Inc. Determine whether your remodel is for personal satisfaction or financial gain and safeguard your investment with these guidelines.
tax credits when adding energy efficient roofing, HVAC systems, solar panels and appliances. Spending money on an extravagant kitchen is a waste if the rest of the home is neglected. Make your efforts consistent and your style cohesive throughout the house.
Less is more.
Thinking DIY?
The best return is on smaller, practical replacement jobs like updating garage doors, entry doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, moldings, lighting fixtures and dated architectural details. Improve curb appeal with fresh landscaping and exterior paint. Basic remodels yield higher profits than monster makeovers.
Be realistic of your capabilities and time. Hiring professionals is often the most cost effective solution. Seek referrals from realtors and friends. Get multiple bids and check references.
Keep up – but don’t outdo the Joneses. Outspending the neighborhood on high end finishes can be a costly mistake. It’s okay to follow trends with paint colors and details that are updated every few years (window coverings, drawer pulls, carpet, light fixtures). Be more cautious in your selection of high dollar permanent fixtures like counter tops, cabinetry and hard flooring. When updating to sell, choose neutral materials that have broad appeal.
