:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 1, No. 1 TM

Keepsake Box I recently discovered something very special. While shifting boxes around and cleaning out our family’s mini-storage, I came across a keepsake box that my mother kept things in over the years. It had “Derrick (High School Stuff)” written on the outside. The funny thing is that I actually set it aside for a few weeks prior to going through it. The box wasn’t fancy. It was just an old cardboard box that had seen better days. I wasn’t expecting it to be all that interesting.

Wow – talk about a trip down memory lane when I actually dove into the box of photos, newspaper clippings, school projects and other memorabilia! I don’t think that I was adequately prepared for the nostalgic emotional roller coaster that I was about to embark on. Many people say that they would never go back to high school…I have a much different position on this topic – I had a blast in high school.

What started as a brief exploration of the “box of goodies” turned into several hours of reminiscing. I kicked my feet up and spent time showing my skeptical children old photos and newspaper clippings from my childhood and teenage years. It was fun to share stories with my family and actually have physical things – real evidence – to refer to. My kids may have even been a little impressed. Well, let’s just say that at least they were curious.

As our society continues to move into the faster-paced digital world, I will continue to remind myself of the importance of saving these types of tangible items for my own kids to explore and reminisce with one day. My intentions are to figure out a way to bridge the gap between our digital age and physical world – I want to be able to pass on a similar “box” to them.

In this premiere issue of 92024 Magazine, we are excited to introduce an incredible new technology that accompanies the physical printed magazines. This new interactive technology will not only further engage 92024’s readers, but it will also directly link the printed magazines with interactive videos, slide shows and other exclusive content like never before seen – see Tyler’s editorial on page 13.

Our very own ZGlass app – which is now available as a free download in the iOS App Store or Google Play – literally brings many elements of the magazine to life right before your eyes on your smart phone or tablet device. Take a minute to visit page 11 to see how easy it is to use, then have fun finding the marked interactive content available throughout this issue – beginning with this page.

Don’t worry, you will continue to receive the printed version of 92024 Magazine in your mailbox – this new technology is merely an extraordinary interactive enhancement to your 92024 reading experience.

Go ahead, download the ZGlass app and give it a try!

ALIVE IN WILD PRINT

Y

ou’ve heard it over and over again. The three words that send chills down the spines of publishers everywhere.

“Print is dead.”

The words have merit – but not in the sense that most people think of while reading about it in an online blog on the subject. I recently read an (online) article about why traditional media companies need to start thinking like Silicon Valley tech start-ups. It blasted companies for putting their content behind paywalls or removing digital content altogether. It went on to praise several print (and other media) companies who have successfully transformed the industry and set the bar for print and online content and products.

You may have noticed several “badges” in 92024 Magazine (like the one in the top right corner of this page). These let you know that there is even more to the story than what’s on the page.

The Weather Whiz

Diegueño Middle School’s Chad Crilley Has a Knack for Reporting the Weather

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography

T

o Chad Crilley, the question “How’s the weather?” is more than just a casual inquiry. “When I was 4 years old, I was watching a television series called ‘Storm Stories’ on The Weather Channel. My eyes were instantly glued to the TV screen. I became fascinated by the weather from that point on,” said Chad – an 8th grader at Diegueño Middle School.

Since his 6th grade year, Chad has reported the weather to fellow classmates over the school’s P.A. system. In May 2011, he had the opportunity to reach a much wider audience while he was visiting KOAM, a television station in Joplin, Missouri.

“I arrived in Joplin just hours before a tornado hit. I stayed calm the entire time and covered the story. I was a correspondent on the scene for San Diego’s Fox 5 News and had multiple live shots and a phone interview,” declared Chad, who has been recognized for his ability to break down complex weather events into simple terms that everyone can understand.

Chad enjoys his science classes at Diegueño and feels lucky to have a great support system at the school. “The staff and teachers are amazing at my school.

They care about the students and there is always an opportunity to learn something new and exciting,” related Chad.

It may surprise those who have

seen and heard Chad report the weather, that he is naturally shy. “I feel more comfortable talking in front of 5,000 people than I do in front of one person. I am a little shy when meeting someone new,” revealed Chad.

According to Chad, Encinitas is the perfect location not only for fostering his passion for meteorology, but also

“I feel more comfortable talking in front of 5,000 people than I do in front of one person. I am a little shy when meeting someone new,” revealed Chad.

for swimming, surfing and enjoying the sun. “The beach is an amazing place to go during the summer. I got involved in surfing because of the role weather plays in the sport,” explained Chad.

Chad’s inspiration is Doug Heady, Chad’s close friend and the chief meteorologist at KOAM News in Joplin, Missouri. “I would like to become an on-air meteorologist for a major television station or The Weather Channel someday,” said Chad. ¢

About the Chef

Name of Chef: Heather Williams Age: 38 Spouse: Chris Children: Isaac, Hannah, Keelie, Caleb Community of Residence: Village Park, Encinitas Hobbies/Interests: Interior decorating, refinishing furniture, sewing, camping, relaxing at the beach About the Recipe: As a child my mother made this for my sisters and me every October when celebrating fall. I now do the same for my children. Also, it is a recipe I cook when camping because our friends now request it every year and threaten me that if I don’t make it, they won’t come!

About the Chef: I am a wife to Chris and mom of four hungry kids. I enjoy cooking for my family and friends. I believe food is what brings people together, and fellowship around the kitchen table brings me much joy. I love seeing grumpy attitudes transformed before my eyes as they take a single bite of food and, in an instant, they become nice and pleasant again (at least around my table). ¢

he 9th Annual Encinitas Rotary Wine Festival was held in the Hamilton Children’s Garden – the latest addition to the San Diego Botanic Garden – in early June. The “Zero Waste” event raised proceeds for numerous local charities. Guests sampled fare from local restaurants, bakeries, wineries and breweries while enjoying the live musical entertainment. From Rimel’s Steakhouse to Whole Foods Market to Stone Brewery, the Wine Festival event had it all – even a silent auction and raffle containing items like a stay at the Pala Casino and a trip to Maui. ¢

The Furgerson Family’s Ties to Encinitas Go Way Back

any couples have a long history, but most don’t go as far back as that of Erin and Brandt Fergurson. “It is crazy to think that Erin and I were in Mrs. Treadwell’s kindergarten class at Ocean Knoll Elementary in 1979,” recalled Brandt. “Our families have lived in the same homes since 1975 – literally 400 yards from each other.”

Both sets of Brandt’s grandparents actually

At A Glance Parents: Residence: Since: Hometowns: Children:

Brandt and Erin Furgerson Seagate Village 2006 Encinitas Olivia (2), Ben (6), Ted (9), Jack (11)

moved to the north coast in 1958, and Brandt’s parents opened Furgerson’s Garage in Encinitas in 1981 – two years after Brandt and Erin started at Ocean Knoll. Brandt and Erin then attended Oak Crest Middle School and San Dieguito High School together as well. They were friends throughout the years but didn’t date until they reconnected at a party in 1994.

Now Erin and Brandt have four children, and after brief stints in San Luis Obispo and San Marcos, they returned to Encinitas to live in Seagate Village – just minutes away from both sets of grandparents. “I love that our kids can see all of their grandparents in the same day, anytime they want,” shared Brandt.

Brandt works as Director of Brand and Business Development for CEP Compression Sportswear and Erin works part-time as a staff developer for the college-preparatory program,

AVID. She also volunteers at Flora Vista Elementary where Jack (11), Ted (9), and Ben (6) all attend. Olivia (2) stays home with Mom. “We love that the school is only steps away from our house,” said Erin. “Brandt walks the kids to school every day, and there are so many wonderful families that we have met.”

The Furgerson’s are especially active in sports. The kids participate in teams at school, in local leagues, at the YMCA, and all four competed in the Junior Carlsbad races this spring. Erin

“I love that our kids can see all of their grandparents in the same day, anytime they want.” ~ Brandt Furgerson Encinitas ran two half-marathons this year and will continue to run races throughout the rest of the year. While Brandt admits sheepishly that he has never actually surfed, he makes up for it by competing in the occasional triathlon or half-marathon.

The Furgerson family has made many special memories in Encinitas. Now they look forward to watching their children do the same. ¢

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF San Dieguito Art Guild Contributes to Quality of Life

San Dieguito Art Guild has been at the heart of the Encinitas art scene for nearly 50 years. With more than 200 local artist-members, the Guild continues to contribute to the quality of life in many ways.

As a nonprofit organization, the Guild sponsors demonstrations featuring accomplished and well-known artists several times a year and the wildly popular, “Try It You’ll Like It” workshops continue to attract record crowds. These programs – organized and staffed by Guild members – are made possible, in part, thanks to a grant from the City of Encinitas.

Home to some of the most talented artists, fine art photographers and crafts people in North County San Diego, the Guild also operates the Off Track Gallery, which provides exhibit space for members’ artwork as well as a unique shopping experience for those who visit. Exhibits change monthly, so many clients and visitors return often to browse through a plentiful array of exciting original drawings, paintings, fine art prints, sculptures, photographs, unique glass, metal and gourd art, jewelry and more.

San Dieguito Art Guild’s Off Track Gallery is open 7 days a week and is located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center, Hwy 101, Encinitas. For more information stop by the gallery, visit their website at www.offtrackgallery.com or call 760-942-3636.

Surfing Madonna Home

The debated Surfing Madonna that grew to fame amongst the people of Encinitas for being the beautiful, mysterious piece of art that appeared under a train overpass off Pacific Coast Highway has finally found a home. Appearing a little over a year ago, the artwork – a mosaic decorated with the phrase “Save the Ocean” and Our Lady of Guadalupe surfing, was fiercely admired by locals.

Removed by the city who considered the piece of art graffiti, residents came together to find a new abode for Surfing Madonna. The artist, Mark Patterson, rallied for his piece to be displayed at the entrance to Moonlight Beach but was halted because of religious undertones.

Summer Fun on the 101: Leucadia’s Music Festival was held in June. Presented by Leucadia 101 Main Street, the event stood as a celebration of the unique cultural crossroads of surfing and music – both a big part of Leucadia’s history. The festival has grown in size, community participation and range of music. With a huge helping hand from sponsors Spy Optic, Hapi Fish and Firestone Brewery, festivities included the jazzy styling of The Red Fox Tails and Mattson 2 at Lou’s Records. Inspired & the Sleep, Glen & the Boys and others kept things rocking into the night over at Ducky Waddle’s.

Things started early in the morning on Saturday with a beach cleanup from Moonlight to Beacons led by Eco-Rooted.org. There was an all day concert at Leucadia Roadside park.

The beer garden featured delicious Firestone Brews and a raffle. A percentage of the event’s proceeds went to Paul Ecke Central School Garden – a premiere program in hands-on agricultural learning for kids.

A Local Treasure for North County

Foodies Unite for Encinitas Foodie Fest

More than one thousand locals united at North County hot spot Pacific Station to celebrate all things delicious at the first annual Encinitas Foodie Fest in June. Hosted by Wabisabi Green, the coastal community event intended to elevate public awareness about sustainable foods and products while promoting local chefs, the arts, business, and the Coastal Community Foundation’s Healthy Day Fund – which raised $2,000.

Fun for the whole family at the Del Mar Golf Center

by WYNNE LOVE | photos by Michael Bielecki

W

hether you’re 6 or 60, experienced golfer or enthusiast, the Del Mar Golf Center is the place for you. “It’s a recreation center,” explained General Manager, Matt Clay. “It’s a place where the whole family can come and have fun.”

The Del Mar Golf Center, located on Jimmy Durante Boulevard just across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds, is a full-service recreation facility. It includes a driving range, two 18-hole miniature golf courses, PGA golf instruction, and a golf shop.

Fun for Kids

Top-Tier Training

The Del Mar Golf Center isn’t just for adults. The Center hosts birthday parties, summer camps for kids ages 4-15, and is the home of Pelly’s Mini Golf. The two 18-hole mini-golf courses, Pelly’s Ocean Adventure and Pelly’s Surfin’ Safari, are both ADA-accessible, and were constructed with environmentally-friendly designs, using recycled materials, drought-tolerant landscaping, and organic fertilizer. The ocean and surf themes for the courses were developed with the help of the Birch Aquarium and Surfrider Foundation, and both courses feature educational facts and conversation tips throughout.

GM Matt Clay makes it a priority to employ only the highest-quality coaches. “We pride ourselves on maintaining a top quality facility and providing excellent golf instruction,” said Matt. All instructors are PGA trained, and private lessons include the use of video analysis so golfers can truly perfect their swing.

As Matt described, “Students are able to see adjustments and improvements on the spot which enhance the learning process.” During summer camps, kids ages 4-15 have the opportunity to improve their game while learning the essentials of golf safety and etiquette from the trained instructors.

Beach Blast

Crystal Hollins Helps Kids Stay Safe and Have a Blast at the Beach

by WYNNE LOVE

I

f your kids love the ocean, and perhaps all the more if they don’t, you’ll want to sign them up for Encinitas Beach Kids.

Lead Instructor Crystal Hollins has been a lifeguard since her youth. Her love of the sun and surf, and her desire to share that love with kids, prompted her to create the program after seventeen years as founder and instructor for the successful Junior Lifeguard program.

In 2010, Crystal left the Junior Lifeguard program in Jon Strickland’s hands and decided to launch a new venture. “I saw an opportunity to focus on the younger kids and teach them safety and educate them while playing games and having fun at the beach,”

explained Crystal. The result was Encinitas Beach Kids, now in its third year.

Held every summer in two-week sessions at Moonlight Beach, the program teaches 6, 7 and 8 year olds about beach safety, marine animals, basic first aid, water etiquette and body boarding. “The goal is to focus on the fears young kids have at that age and to educate them while building confidence,” explained Crystal, “all while enjoying the beautiful beach environment that we live in.”

Crystal packs the three-hour sessions full of fun activities, including water games, beach relays and obstacle courses. Participants also get to learn first aid skills, do crafts and games with marine animal props and paint their faces

on “Zinka” days.

With only one other program of its kind in the county, Encinitas offers a special experience for local children, with teachers who are enthusiastic to share their love of the ocean.

As Crystal remarked, “The best part about teaching the kids is seeing them learn and grow up each summer and seeing the young adults they turn out to be.”

Crystal enjoys running, swimming, surfing and playing with her five children. She looks forward to helping the program grow and watching even more children become avid beachgoers, lifeguards or even instructors.

E

ncinitas residents already know all the beauty Moonlight Beach has to offer. The fine sand, playground, picnic tables, parking, restrooms and concession stand make it a primary destination for beachgoers. Those features also make it the perfect home for a junior lifeguard program.

“Our goal is to educate young people in ocean and beach safety while building selfconfidence and appreciation for the ocean,” explained Lead Instructor and Encinitas native Jon Strickland. For the last 22 years, the program has done just that. Encinitas Beach Kids director Crystal Hollins founded the program in 1992 with 12 participants, and this year, the program had more than 1,000 participants and was the largest program of its kind in the county.

The Encinitas Junior Lifeguard Program teaches ocean safety to kids aged 9-17. The goal is to build their stamina and teach lifesaving skills while participants enjoy swimming, surfing, body-boarding and competing. In other words, they learn critical skills while having a great time.

This year, they will have a local paraplegic buoy-swimmer as a guest speaker and will send teams to the Cal State Games and the Junior Lifeguard Regional Competition.

“Our program has a unique environment and extremely passionate professional lifeguard instructors,” elaborated Jon. This is Jon’s third year overseeing the Junior Lifeguard program, and his twelfth year as an ocean lifeguard with the city. “It is really rewarding to watch [the instructors] settle into their roles and become great assets within the program,” he remarked. “We are a mix of young professionals who love to teach our summer trade.”

A graduate of UC Santa Barbara and an avid triathlete, Jon brings a wealth of experience to the program. In addition to his exceptional athleticism, including two successful Alcatraz swim crossings, he has worked as a volunteer firefighter, an Emergency Medical Technician and a high school teacher. Jon enjoys traveling and has visited twelve countries, but is proud to call Encinitas home and truly enjoys his work.

“I am thankful every day that my parents raised me in Encinitas and I am able to call Moonlight Beach my office.” ¢

Fire-Breathing DRAGONS Join the Greatest Show on Earth ®

T

here are certain events that mark a childhood - experiences that kids remember for a lifetime. A trip to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is certainly one of those, and even San Diegans who’ve seen the circus before have yet to see a show like this. Firebreathing, flying, fantastical DRAGONS have joined the Greatest Show on Earth®!

The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is bringing San Diegans a legendary once-in-a-millennium event celebrating the year of the dragon. Some of the extraordinary performers include: • The Shaolin Warriors with their Kung Fu martial arts.

• Alexander Lacey, making his U.S. debut presents the only mixed-cat act of its kind with tigers and lions together.

• Cossack Riders who amaze with their equestrian acrobatics.

• The Flying Caceres who perform on the only double-decker trapeze in the world.

• Plus daredevil motorcyclists in the Globe

of Steel, the Russian Bar Renegades and Teeterboard Titans troupes, double motorcycle high-wire stunts, Clown Alley, the majestic Ringling Bros. Asian elephants, lions, tigers, dogs, cats, and so much more!

According to Lindsay Santa, spokesperson for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey® Circus, be sure to arrive early. “Come one hour before show time for each performance to meet our performers and animals on the show floor at the interactive ‘all-access pre-show’, which is free for all ticket holders. Families can take pictures and get up close to see the animals, learn juggling and balancing skills and get performer autographs,” said Lindsay.

It’s a major production just getting the circus to each stop within the 90-city U.S. tour. Like circuses of yesteryear, this production travels across the country by train, averaging 350 miles between cities and preparing over 109,000 meals each year in the Pie Car, the traveling diner. The Ringling Bros. train is making a four day stop in San Diego at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly known as the Sports Arena) from Thursday, August 23 – Sunday, August

Encinitas Resident McGhee Raises Money for Breast Cancer Awareness

by KATHY LOY | photo by Soul of Photography

T

he best thing to hear when you are looking for a volunteer might be “I have trouble saying no.”

Melissa McGhee is a great volunteer because not only does she have trouble saying no, she thinks raising money is fun. “Truthfully, I am addicted to volunteering and using and sharing my skills. Volunteering works for me.

It’s simply fulfilling,” she explained.

Melissa began raising money for breast cancer in 2004 when she joined her college roommate’s breast cancer walk team called Boobs on the Move®. The goal was to create original ideas to raise money in order to participate in the event. From this, ideas for ~ Melissa McGhee the OktoberBreast® block party and Pink Pancake Breastfast® were born and implemented – all focused on raising money and awareness for non-profit breast cancer organizations.

To date, Boobs on the Move® has raised over $500,000 and new ideas keep hatching. A Boot Art Auction called Art Stomp™ is planned for this Fall where local and regional artists will contribute original work that incorporates or is inspired by the cowboy boot.

The artwork will be auctioned off for a charity fundraiser benefitting a local breast cancer non-profit.

“So far, the pieces are eclectic and amazing,” said Melissa. “We are looking for a local venue to host the auction event and we are still open to more boot art too.”

When she isn’t raising money for breast cancer awareness and prevention, Melissa is volunteering at her children’s school, Capri Elementary. “I’ve been able to keep my professional skills in check while raising my family. I am a mom, wife and community volunteer – and not always in that order. I have been known to ‘sacrifice some to save many’ more than once,” she mentioned.

In her free time, Melissa can be found at the YMCA, playing soccer mom, or with her family at Cardiff reef. She said, “I love food and feeding people the good stuff – the cancer fighting stuff. I am a lucky girl!” ¢

Camping Done the Easy Way

by TARA PRITCHETT | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

T

here’s nothing like the great outdoors and camping is one way to take it all in, plus it’s hugely exciting for kids.

Camping brings a change of pace, fresh air, and the chance to wake up to a chorus of birdsong to name a few things. The adventure allows for families to spend time together while teaching skills that can be useful later life. Trying it close to home, in your own backyard, is a good way to start.

• Let the kids take their favorite toys, but try to be unplugged completely while camping.

• Don’t forget the bug spray. Camping is fun, bug bites aren’t.

Make it a True Adventure

Keep it Simple • Pick a spell of good weather. A soggy tent and muddy ground will probably have you running inside the house.

• Pick a date when the kids don’t have school or events the next day.

• Don’t have too large a tent. A small one will be much quicker and easier to put up. The smaller the tent, the more enticing to the kids. Better yet, if it’s a clear night, skip the tent altogether and sleep out under the stars.

• As much as possible, pretend the house is not there.

• Don’t use electricity.

• Play some games. A scavenger hunt, a few rounds of tag or a croquet game are all great family activities.

• Use crayons to take nature rubbings in your yard or press flowers and leaves into a scrapbook.

• Explore your neighborhood. Set out with a compass or map to trek local trails.

• Plan a sensational dinner that can be cooked entirely on the barbecue.

• Do some bird watching, sing campfire songs and swap ghost stories. Bring a tape recorder so you can record the best

songs and the scariest ghost stories for posterity.

Make a campfire. Involve kids in collecting wood and teach them how to light and manage a fire safely.

Do some stargazing and be sure to give up on bedtime…everyone will eventually fall asleep to the sounds of nature.

Sheltering from the occasional shower can be fun! Arrange a bit of rain using the garden sprinkler.

Light the barbecue again after it gets dark so that you can enjoy a late-night marshmallow roast.

When all is said and done have all your weary campers gather together for breakfast…either around the fire pit or perhaps make the decision to head inside to your own dining room… because you have that luxury.

Now go outside and set up camp…no travel required! ¢

Keep your home

safe

How to boost your home security while you are vacationing

by TARA PRITCHETT

H

ome security is certainly an important part of any trip plan whether you’re preparing for a quick getaway or an extended vacation. To make sure your home security is up to par and you can truly enjoy your trip, run through the following home security tips before you hit the road.

• Locate and turn off the main water valve, which is usually found on the front, street-facing side of a home’s lower level.

• Drain toilets and tanks by holding down the flush lever until the water is gone.

• Turn off the water heater.

• Turn off all nonessential electrical circuit breakers in your home’s electrical box.

• Disconnect/ unplug all appliances large and small.

• Turn off your A/C. • Put lights in main living areas on timers and set them to simulate occupancy.

• Don’t broadcast your absence or your location of vacation with photos and/or status updates on social media like Facebook or Twitter.

• Leave blinds and curtains in normal positions wherever possible, taking care not to expose belongings.

• Protect valuables from theft

(important papers, jewelry, etc.) by securing them in a home safe or safe deposit box.

• Make sure your computer is turned off and disconnected from the Internet, particularly if it contains personal information.

• Put away or shred telltale bills and receipts that add to the risk of identity theft.

• Activate your alarm system and notify the home security company of your days away

38 • 92024Magazine.com • Premiere Issue 2012

providing them with interim contact information.

• Ensure all windows and doors are securely locked before you leave for vacation.

• Finish all yard work before you go while giving special attention to trimming trees and shrubs near windows and entries.

• Improve exterior lighting by putting outdoor lighting on timers. Add motion-sensitive lamps in dark pockets, as well as in natural pathways.

• Remove secret keys from their undisclosed outdoor locations, providing only one of your duplicates to the person who’ll be in charge while you’re out of town.

• Organize your neighbors.

A neighborhood watch won’t cost you anything but some time. For tips, visit www.ncpc.org.

• Have a house helper collect your mail, parcels and newspapers daily.

• Invite a neighbor or family member to park a car in your driveway.

• Inform the local police department of your plans so they can add your home to their vacation watch list. ¢

Conner’s Legacy Lives on Via Conner’s Cause for Children

by AMY LEHRER

O

ur humanity often inspires us to help those in need. Sometimes we experience excruciating pain and then make it our mission to spare others this same trauma. And other times we merely recognize the burdens of others and decide to help.

Judy and John Champ’s four year old son Conner died of brain cancer despite aggressive chemotherapy, radiation and steroid treatments.

This experience forced the Champs to recognize what was truly important – spending time loving their son, finding the best facilities and treatments for him, and preparing him for death by reading books and discussing heaven – and what was not as important at this critical time – working, paying bills and dealing with insurance companies. Meanwhile, two inspired moms of Conner’s two best friends, combined with friends and neighbors, joined

forces to raise money to pay mounting bills so the Champs could focus their physical and emotional energy on Conner.

This fundraising effort became the nonprofit organization Conner’s Cause for Children. “After our bills were paid,” Judy Champ explained, “Conner’s Cause began to help other families who had a child who was afflicted with a life threatening illness.” Over the past eighteen years more than 4,000 families have received money to pay for utility and phone bills, gas, groceries, special equipment needed by the children not covered by insurance, revamping of vehicles or homes to accommodate wheelchairs, and travel expenses to obtain care and treatment. According to board member Karen Gliner, the goal is that “No child goes without access to treatment or dignified in home care because of a family’s lack of resources.”

Most families who need assistance are referred by social workers or health care providers, but

some families find Conner’s Cause via word of mouth or through the organization’s website.

Those wanting to contribute to Conner’s Cause are encouraged to attend future fundraisers like the Summer Lovin’ Luncheon Boutique and Fashion Show that occured in early June at The Santaluz Club, buy art at community charity partner Art N Soul on 101 in Encinitas, raise their own funds, or make their own very welcomed donations of any size.

To make a tax deductible donation or learn more about Conner’s Cause for Children visit www.connerscause.org. ¢

Encinitas Sushi Lounge has Found the Recipe for Success

I

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

t seems like every corner you turn there is another new sushi restaurant to try, and with San Diegans always seeking the freshest sushi spot around, it’s a tough industry. Encinitas Sushi Lounge is here to stay on top of its game. With its casual and welcoming environment, the place sings to the beachy San Diego crowd. And, by offering quality and fresh ingredients it keeps them coming back for more.

Business partners, Frank Interlandi and Katie Rooney started their interest six years ago after breaking off from another local sushi eatery in search of their own venture. “We reached a point where upward progress was no longer an option and we felt we could have success on our own, as we love the industry and cuisine,” said Rooney. “We are thrilled to have our doors open in Encinitas.”

From the start, Frank and Katie knew that in order to succeed, Encinitas Sushi Lounge would need to appeal to the masses. Today, it looks like they got it right with the grand opening of the Encinitas location. “I think we have been able to really capture all demographics through some aspect – the music, the wine and sake, the service, etc…” said Rooney.

The restaurant prides itself on offering a “fresh alternative with emphasis on the freshest ingredients.” With this mantra in mind, they have a “well-trained staff who knows how to spot product that is not up to PSL standards,” said Rooney, “it’s truly a group effort.”

The most popular item on the menu is the Tsunami Roll - grilled shrimp, asparagus, avocado and crab, topped with Cajun Albacore. Another customer favorite: the specialty sashimi dishes, such as the Citrus Chili Yellowtail and the Peppered Ahi. A gluten free menu and kid’s menu are also available.

And the rave reviews are in. Encinitas Sushi Lounge already has 4.5 stars for reviews on Yelp with customers praising sushi, service and atmosphere.

Their sister restaurant in Poway was voted Best Sushi by signonsandiego.com readers, won “Sushi Wars” on Channel 6, was a multiple winner of Channel 10’s “A-list,” and has been recognized by various local papers. “We really strive to be leaders in our industry,” said Rooney. “We are consistent with sourcing the best product and staying true to what we have always done, which is provide a place for anyone to come in and enjoy the freshest sushi.” ¢

n such a male dominated sport, the only women who probably come to mind when talking football are the cheerleaders on the sidelines. But the female athletes of the San Diego Surge are proving very quickly that women’s football isn’t your typical powder-puff game.

The Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) was founded by Dr. Lisa Kng and Dr. Jeff King in the spring of 2009 in order to establish North America’s highest level of women’s football. Joining a roster of 62 teams in 2011 were our hometown competitors – the San Diego Surge – and they have been making quite a name for themselves ever since.

Fighting their way to be 8-0 in their first season, Owners Christina Carrillo and Melissa Gallegos are no strangers to athletic success. Christina has played women’s football since 2001 and Melissa

was a member of the 2010 USA Women’s National Team that won the gold medal in Sweden.

Currently, the two have established a mission for those who represent SD Surge to strive to become better players, coaches and citizens of the communities on and off the field. The women also take pride in the bond they share between themselves and their teammates. In WFA there are no trades made between teams, so creating a solid foundation and working from the ground up is a crucial part of their league.

The 2012 season championships will be held on August 4 and if the Surge are to make it, they will be competing at Heinz Field – turf of the Pittsburgh Steelers. ¢ For more information on the San Diego Surge, visit sandiegosurge.com

Short Sales, Foreclosures and Loan Mods Taxable?

by SCOTT VOAK

T

his issue, I want to make you aware of some potential changes to the tax implications for a short sale, foreclosure and loan modification.

When a lender loses money on a loan because they foreclosed, accepted a short sale, or modified the principal, they file for a loss on their taxes – and send you a 1099 for the offsetting gain. The gain is called Debt Relief Income and it is taxable. However, as long as certain conditions are met (mainly that the home is your primary residence and the loan does not exceed the purchase price + improvements), both the state and federal governments have waived these taxes. That waiver is set to end on December 31, 2012.

It other words, if you owe $600,000 on your home and the bank only achieves $500,000 through either a foreclosure or short sale that closes next year, not only do you lose your home, but you will have to show an extra $100,000 in income and pay taxes on it.

While it may seem better to short sell or foreclose on your home now than pay the taxes next year, there may be other options. No two situations are the same and you should get professional advice to put together a plan that specifically addresses your needs. I have assembled a team with a bankruptcy attorney, credit repair attorney and a CPA to help people determine the best course of action.

Consultations are free, so if you would like to meet to discuss options, please give me a call. ¢
