:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 1, No. 2 TM

Publisher Derrick Breaux

On a Mission to Get Healthy Well, the time has come. I am nearly 39 years old. Yep, the big “40” is looming around the corner. It’s time for me to shed some weight and get healthier. Nutrition. Diet. Exercise. These are some of our favorite talking points. I spend so much time thinking about it and talking about it – now I’m just doing it. For the next several months I will be on an intense program consisting of nutrition and exercise. I have chosen to kick start my lifestyle change with a juice reboot diet – only juice consisting of a variety of vegetables and fruits. I will then transition to a diet primarily consisting of micronutrient fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts (I can’t believe that I’m actually writing this) followed by the introduction of fish and other lean proteins. My ultimate goal is to get healthy – from the inside out. I am told that the side effects will consist of significant weight loss, lots of energy, and a longer estimated life expectancy. Not too bad if you ask me! I’ve already started the program, and by the time you read this I will have been on the program for close to three weeks. I started it right – I planned and prepared. I even had my wife take the customary “shirtless” photos to use as a reference – not sure how I feel about showing these to people though. So wish me luck! There’s no turning back now as I’ve actually published my health goal. I figured it was all in or nothing. I’ll post an update in the next issue and I’ll keep my Facebook page updated on the progress. Want to join me? It’s the perfect time of the year to make a healthy change! Email me at publisher@zcodemedia.com to share your story.

Start Date: August 13 Start Weight: 244 lbs Target Weight: 195 lbs

All the best, Derrick Breaux, PUBLISHER

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD

ReSANDiego The Turning of the Tidelines by Kelley Gusich | photo by Soul of Photography

High Tide—

John Conover loves being in the water, and he loves the unique and healthy life he has invented for himself here in Encinitas for the past 35 years. He shares this inventiveness with many in the area, inspired by people who work at a business they enjoy, find time to play, and give back to the community in some way.

Low Tide—

Back in 1981, John saw a tide graph calendar which didn’t credit the beauty and excitement of the ocean at all. He envisioned the tides being graphed with wondrous ocean images and coverage of all coastal regions, so he started Tidelines Calendars to meet this need. His business has grown to 40 sales reps, and a partnership with real estate broker Peter Curry has expanded and stabilized the business. Tidelines now has many custom online calendar options, including creating a calendar with your own images and text and tide graphs for businesses and individuals. “I am inspired by doing something new and different that adds to the quality of life,” John shared.

Spring Tide—

John feels lucky that he “…always has some free time and has found unique places where I thought I could make a difference.” He is a founder of the first Surfrider Foundation chapter here in San Diego, and there are

now over 60 SF chapters in the US. When beach sand losses became a problem in the late ‘80s, he started The ReSANDiego Project. This brought awareness to the issue, and helped motivate the government to fund sand replenishment to the tune of ten million dollars.

Neap Tide—

The philanthropy doesn’t end there. John was named the Paul Ecke Community Hero in 2009 for his service to the community and his fundraising efforts for Hand in Hand Schools in Israel. He wrote a letter to his mother thanking her for the wonderful life she had given him, and the emotional experience moved him to begin Family Connections, a program flourishing at La Costa Canyon High and other area schools.

Changing Tides—

Community involvement is the hallmark of the Conover family. Whether working for a nonprofit that promotes safe voting procedures (wife Debbie) or working at Cardiff Seaside Market and Leucadia Pizzeria at the same time she attends Mira Costa (daughter McKenna), John Conover and his family are loving the “ebb and flow” of 92024. ¢

is Encinitas Café and that one day, she would like to own and operate a family restaurant. In the meantime, Michelle is focused on school and swimming. Several of her teammates are nationally ranked swimmers and have become close friends. In the near future, Michelle wants to compete and win at the CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) every year. She also plans to swim during her college years and intends to study marine biology.

‘‘

My goal as a high school swimmer is to be a good leader, to compete and improve my swimming,” – Michelle Jacobs

Michelle, her parents and fourteen year old sister, Jaime, have been long time residents of Leucadia. They love the family-friendly environment and the beach, but you’ll most likely see Michelle in the waves and not on the sand. Michelle said that people are often surprised that at her height of nearly six feet tall, she doesn’t play volleyball. She’s too busy winning races in the pool. ¢

Natural Living Living a Happy, Healthy Life Suits the Hite-Ruecker Family by Amy Lehrer | photos by Soul of Photography

wo punk rock kids with hearts in their eyes, Amy and Steve Hite-Ruecker, met during “The Film Experience” at UC Santa Cruz and both graduated in the mid-nineties. Steve received a fellowship to a PhD program at USC and later earned a teaching credential that enabled him to pursue a teaching career in San Dieguito. He currently teaches English and history at Earl Warren Middle School, and last year he became “Teacher of the Year.” In the summer, he teaches surf lessons at Eli Howard Surf School, and most evenings he attends to his latest album. Amy continued her studies in architecture, landscape design, and permaculture. Currently, Amy owns Organic Hammer, an ecological landscaping company specializing in sustainable urban farms, permaculture, and regenerative design. Amy and Steve settled in Leucadia because it’s private, has a rural feel, Steve’s parents live nearby, and it seemed an ideal spot to raise children. Because they believe spending quality time outdoors is vital to living a happy, healthy life, they selected a lot that allows them to have their own farm, which includes gardening, beekeeping, and raising poultry. Their girls, Eden and Iris, let out and feed their chicken and duck flock every morning, and Amy often harvests food from the garden for the night’s delicious, organic meal. Amy’s mom also lives with them, which means they have three

Amy mused, “It is wonderful for our family to have the wisdom of the old generation with the innocence of the youth all living under one roof.” For exercise, Amy and Steve avidly practice Black Tiger Claw kung fu at West Coast Martial Arts Academy in Encinitas. Interestingly enough, at a recent competition, they competed against each other in both hand and weapon forms. Unfortunately for Steve, Amy placed first in all events, and Steve placed second. Both Amy and Steve believe in honest, simple living and letting their life be a reflection of their beliefs. To foster their children’s free flowing magical spirits, they limit external influences like media and organized activities. Instead, their children enjoy grass, swings, dirt, sand, water, puddles, sunshine, animals, art, music, gardening, swimming, karate, and playing. Also, Eden and Iris attend

Performers included The MiNyo gIrLz, Miyuki Matsunaga and San Diego Taiko. Food was provided by Ogata Japanese Cuisine, located in downtown Encinitas.

Stage Door Dance, Catering to Every Kind of Dancer by LINDA FRABL | photos by Michael Bielecki

reat dance experiences are what inspired Patti Weinberg, owner/ manager of Stage Door Dance in Encinitas, to open her own studio. Having danced professionally in Los Angeles in such theatrical productions as Gypsy, Peter Pan, Annie Get Your Gun, No No Nanette, and the King and I, to name a few, Patti said, “So many of my best memories have come from dancing. I wanted a chance to share that with others and hopefully give them the same opportunity to create wonderful memories.”

It’s no wonder, then, that the dance classes at Stage Door Dance are uplifting and enjoyable. Patti revealed, “We keep our classes running at a quick, fun pace to keep everyone excited and energized, yet we take our time introducing good fundamental dance techniques. Plus, we are a non-competitive studio, so instead of participating in expensive stressful competitions, we offer many different performance opportunities.” The studio has several events that are open to all students - The Encinitas Holiday Parade, an annual recital, and this year, their 1st annual Nutcracker show. Stage Door Dance also has a performance group that goes out to perform

at local venues such as street fairs, retirement homes, the Del Mar Fair, and even Disneyland. Open for 15 years now, Stage Door Dance continues to expand not only its studio space, but also its class offerings. The lessons include creative movement, jazz, tumbling, tap,

92024: What is the history behind San Diego Botanic Garden? How did it come to be? SDBG: San Diego Botanic Garden began as the private estate of Charles and Ruth Larabee. The Larabees landscaped the property around their modest home with exotic plants collected during their international travels. As active Scout leaders, the couple sought to personally educate young people about nature by using the estate’s gardens as their teaching site. In the spirit of continuing public horticultural education, Mrs. Larabee left her private residence and its grounds to the County of San Diego in 1957. The County opened Quail Park to the public in 1971, and managed the property until 1993 when the Garden was privatized as an independent, nonprofit organization called Quail Botanical Gardens. In 2009, the name was changed to San Diego Botanic Garden.

Oktoberfest Brings Authentic German Traditions to the Streets of Encinitas by JENNIFER FRAKES

n Sunday, September 23, the city of Encinitas will host the 17th Annual Encinitas Oktoberfest, a celebration where people can experience authentic German food, drink and traditions. The event will extend along six blocks at El Camino Real and Mountain Vista and will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to Thora Guthrie, Director of Marketing & Development for the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, the event typically attracts crowds of 30,000-50,000 local residents and visitors. “Admission to the event is free, and there are activities for the whole family,” stated Guthrie. Guests at the Encinitas Oktoberfest should bring their appetites as the event will feature generous servings of traditional German food provided by Tip Top Meats and beer provided by sponsor Stone Brewing Company. “There will be an enormous eating and drinking tent for the entire family. The tent will have a view of the stage where live entertainment will take place, as well as a special appreciation presentation to Council Member James Bond,” said Guthrie. The live entertainment will feature authentic Bavarian music and dancing, and a ceremonial parade is sure to be enjoyed by guests of all

ages. “It is a traditional and fun parade with flags, the German Oompah Band and a whole lot of oompah-pah,” related Guthrie. In addition, more than 200 vendor booths will be set up, with many displaying unique arts and crafts from local artisans. There will also be a family fun zone with children’s games and family-oriented activities. Encinitas is a fitting location for an Oktoberfest celebration given the history of the region. “Encinitas’ German roots go back to the northeastern colony of Olivenhain, founded in 1884 by German farmers. [The event] brings together the community and celebrates that heritage,” explained Guthrie. The Encinitas Oktoberfest was first established in the 1990s and coincides with the celebrations held in Germany. The event is made possible by the volunteer organizing committee, the city of Encinitas, the Encinitas Fire Department, the Encinitas Sheriff and many sponsors, including Stone Brewing Company, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and IED Solar.

his banker turned stay-at-home mom, Lori Mayne, wanted to instill a love for charitable leadership activities in her two daughters, Summer and Hayley. Luckily the National Charity League, Inc. (NCL) Del Sol Chapter allows her to do that. The NCL’s mission statement – to foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization, committed to community service, leadership development, and cultural experiences – coincides with Lori’s wish: “to pass on that desire to give back to my daughters,” she stated. As a former volunteer for the Children’s Hospital’s Big Sister program, Lori wanted to continue being a positive, empowering role model for her own daughters. She elaborated, “The NCL provides not only the opportunity to help others, but also allows members to take on leadership roles. As a mom, it’s important for my daughters to see me taking the lead.” And lead she does! As VP of Membership for the NCL Del Sol Chapter – the newest chapter in San Diego – Lori expanded its membership so much that there were more applicants than space available. “I had to find space in other local chapters for the overflow!” Lori confessed. She’s also on the Board of Directors as a philanthropy liaison, and as a grade level advisor. Lori happily revealed, “the daughters are also provided opportunities to take on leadership roles.” The NCL is involved with many philanthropies, including the Children’s Hospital, the American Cancer Society, the Helen Woodward

38 • 92024Magazine.com • September | October 2012

Animal Center, and the Ronald McDonald House, to name a few. Lori emphasized, “There are events all year long that need volunteers and/or donations. We just do what we can. If we all do a little, it adds up to a lot.” When she’s not performing duties for the NCL, Lori is volunteering for her daughter Hayley’s soccer team, which recently won the Cal South National Cup. She said, “I primarily send out weekly updates to keep families informed, and make hotel arrangements when needed.” Lori also enjoys running marathons (which will include the Portland Marathon this October), photography, reading, traveling, and “spending time with friends and family over good food and fine wine!” she added. An Encinitas resident for 20 years, having previously lived in Spokane, Washington and Phoenix, Arizona, Lori describes herself as a shy, private person. She pondered, “This is probably why volunteering suits me. When you volunteer, it’s not about you; it’s about the people and organizations you help.” ¢ Name of Group: National Charity League, Del Sol Chapter Group’s Purpose: “To foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development, and cultural experience.” Group Contact: www.ncldelsol.org

GEOCACHING

High Tech Hide & Seek by TARA PRITCHETT

reasure hunting doesn’t have to be pretend or only something you would see on the big screen. Today, over five million people around the world in over 100 countries on all seven continents are seeking treasures through geocaching according to geocaching.com, an official global GPS cache hunt site. Geocaching, a derivation of the outdoor sporting activity of Geotrekking, is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. After almost 12 years of activity, there are close to two million active geocaches published on various websites. The only necessities to participate are a GPS device or a GPS-enabled mobile phone so you can navigate to the cache. One popular website (www.Geocaching. com) takes you through the process from getting started to logging your findings in eight easy steps. 1. Register - A Basic Membership on www.Geocaching.com is free and requires only a valid email address and your name to create an account. 2. Visit the “Hide & Seek a Cache” page. 3. Enter your zip code and click “search.” 4. Choose any geocache from the list and click on its name. 5. Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device. 6. Use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with

40 • 92024Magazine.com • September | October 2012

their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. 7. Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. If you take something from the geocaches, leave something of equal or greater value. 8. Share your geocaching stories and photos online. Geocaches can be found all over the world and creativity has been instrumental in keeping the sport active. When researching where to start your hunt, remember that geocachers tend to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. (Locations could vary from your local park, at the end of a long trek, on the side of a city street or even underwater.) The hobby of geocaching has sparked boundless opportunities for adventure in your own backyard. You have the answer next time you hear “Where shall we go?” Go outside and find a Geocache. This family friendly, outdoor activity will optimize your time together while having fun, getting exercise and taking in the fresh air. Who knows, this new found hobby, may lead you to that treasure you have been hunting for. ¢

Firefighters Give Advice on How to Keep Your Home Safe from Fire by WYNNE LOVE

ver the past decade, many Rancho Bernardo homeowners have seen firsthand the worst a fire can do. The Cedar Fire of 2003 and Witch Creek Fire of 2007 burned over 250 homes in Rancho Bernardo zip codes alone. This year, “we are looking at some pretty good fire activity already,” warned Chief Jim Sturtevant of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District. A drier summer, he explained, may well lead to greater fire activity this fall, and communities that have previously burned are just as vulnerable as ever. The city has a wealth of resources available online to help educate and assist homeowners in the best defense against wildfire. While Chief Sturtevant stressed, “What saves local structures is having that hundred feet of defensible space.” But he also acknowledges that there is no single way to protect homes threatened by wildfire. Fellow firefighter David June of Station 40 in Ranch Penasquitos agreed. Having fought the Witch Creek fire in Rancho Bernardo himself, June saw firsthand how cedar fences and palm trees can fuel the fire and worse, how embers carried by unpredictable What saves local structures winds can put any house at risk. “There’s no rhyme or reason to is having that hundred feet of what fire will do,” he said, so he also emphasized the importance defensible space.” of properly securing your home ~ Fire Chief Jim Sturtevant, before you leave it by closing Rancho Santa Fe Fire District doors and windows. June also recommends homeowners have important documents saved off premises and critical paper and digital files centralized so they can be packed easily. June emphasizes the importance of knowing how to secure your utilities, encourages registration on Alert San Diego, and insists you should have an escape route and a rendezvous point planned. June also stressed the importance of being ready to evacuate, even if you live in a “shelter-in-place” community, as many Rancho Bernardo residents do. “It’s a good idea to keep a full tank of gas in the car this time of year,” said June. “If you are in the direct path of the fire, you should always evacuate no matter what.” “It pays to be ready,” agreed Chief Sturtevant.

As a truly generous South American sweetheart, Isabel’s natural caring tendencies perfectly compliment her choice of profession. She insisted, “I cater to my clients. I know their names, and know their kids and grandkids!” A native of Colombia, Isabel got her General Dentistry degree in 1990 from the Universidad Central de Quito, Ecuador.

USS Midway Museum Volunteers Share the “Midway Magic” with Visitors by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Robert Genat

isitors to the USS Midway Museum are sure to be impressed by the sheer size of the aircraft carrier itself, as well as the dozens of exhibits, activities and tours that are available onboard. According to Laurie Switzer, Director of Volunteer Programs for the USS Midway Museum, another impressive aspect of the museum is the volunteer corps, a dedicated group of men and women who assist the staff in sharing the story of the USS Midway and those who served aboard the carrier during its 50year commission. “The volunteer corps is integral to the general operations and continued success of the museum. Some departments are run almost exclusively by volunteers,” declared Switzer. As stated by Switzer, the USS Midway Museum seeks volunteers to help preserve the legacy of those who serve, inspire future generations and educate, as well as entertain, more than one million visitors a year. The environment onboard the USS Midway has been described as

having “Midway Magic” and the volunteers strive to keep the magic alive for each and every visitor. “The phrase ‘Midway Magic’ began showing up in the USS Midway cruise books in the 1960s. It is believed to be a crew slogan – a rallying cry for those onboard,” explained Switzer. In 2011, volunteers contributed over 200,000 hours, which is comparable to over 104 full-time staff members. Currently, over 600 volunteers participate on a monthly basis. “Out of those 600 volunteers, over 100 are from North County,” said Switzer. USS Midway Museum volunteers receive benefits such as parking privileges and café and gift shop discounts, but Switzer stated that most volunteers cite giving back to the community as their motivation for participating. “There is also strong camaraderie among the volunteers, as well as a sense of pride in what the USS Midway represents and what has been accomplished,” revealed Switzer. ¢ For more information about how to become a volunteer at the USS Midway Museum, please visit www.midway.org.

2Good2B Missed Gluten-Free Food That’s Almost Too Good to be True

M by WYNNE LOVE

ike Barbanti loves food, so when Celiac disease severely limited his diet, he was devastated. Not one to stomach lemons, Mike decided to make lemonade – or, more specifically, a gluten-free lemon cake that bowled over his gluten-intolerant and wheat-loving friends alike. Mike’s creations were so well-received that he opened an online bakery in 2009 and now, with business partner, Diana Benedek, he sells their delicacies in person at the 2Good2B Bakery and Café on El Camino Real. “We do not know of another 100% gluten, corn, and soy free café and bakery in the world,” noted Mike. And perhaps most unique, this one sells something gluten-free dieters miss most: bread! “We combined forces by uniting

our vision: an allergen-free, safe haven for people that have food allergies, but where the food is delicious enough that non-allergic clients would also come,” explained Diana. “We realized we achieved this goal when we calculated that 50% of our clients are not gluten-free, they just love that we are also corn-syrup free and only use pure, high quality ingredients.” That is the 2GOOD2B motto: “food Name of Business: for everyone,” and was Mike’s Co-Owners: primary focus Years in Position: in crafting his Year of Establishment:

recipes and what he says sets them apart from the usual gluten-free fare. “All this is achieved seamlessly so that everything is delicious by foodie standards,” added Mike, “and why over half of our clientele choose us on taste alone!” Trained in microbiology and immunology and with a Ph.D. in civil engineering, Diana is uniquely qualified to help people with food allergies not only because she understands the science, but because she has conquered her own. “I am passionate about spreading the word on the many diseases associated with gluten intolerance,” she explained, “but also making people aware that corn and soy are also potential culprits that are not well known in the food allergy world.” But she needn’t shout from the rooftops; the food speaks for itself. 2Good2B serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites to an ever-growing group of loyal customers. “Our biggest sellers are our cupcakes, sandwiches, paninis, and pizzas,” offered Diana. You’ll find Mike and Diana at the Gluten-Free Food Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on November 17, but don’t wait till then. See their amazing specialty cakes on their website at www.2good2b.com, or grab a bite by stopping by or having it delivered. No wheat, corn, or soy? No problem.¢

They offer free in-store design consultations and can also provide in-home consultations with one of their professional designers. While some stores in the area have not been able to sustain their businesses over the past few years, One Stop Furniture & Patio is thriving and was voted Best Furniture Store in San Diego by 10 News Alist. The company started with one person ten years ago and has grown to a staff of 17 and is still expanding. Later this year they will be opening a brand new Design Center featuring window treatments, countertops and flooring while adding additional designer fabrics and brands. “We noticed that there was a massive void in San Diego. Although there were lots of furniture stores, you would just see the same product over and over again,” said Rees. “We offer quality products at affordable prices that you can’t find everywhere, in an inviting and friendly environment.” ¢

Market Surging, Radio Show, Expired Guarantee by SCOTT VOAK

he market continues to gain steam, and now the mainstream press is reporting it as the indexes are turning positive year-over-year. We are still sitting about 39% below the peak here in San Diego, but we have come up 6% from the bottom. The important thing for real estate values is that real estate is looking pretty cheap compared to other investments (the stock market is up 99% from its bottom) and if/when we hit another recession in 2013, I expect real estate will hold up well and actually be a “safe haven” for people looking to move money from riskier investments. The fact that many people are still under water and waiting until values increase to sell their properties is going to keep the inventory levels low; however, as prices rise, more and more homes will come on the market and this should keep prices from moving up too rapidly. So, my feeling is that we are going to see solid and steady growth for the next couple of years. How comfortable am I with the market? Comfortable enough that if you have tried to sell your San Diego home anytime since January 1, 2011 and could not, I will use my Rainmaker Marketing System and sell your home for the same price you previously had it listed (or more), or I will rebate you my commission through escrow. That’s right. I’ll take all the risk. Part of my willingness to do this is my belief the market is going to stay strong, but I also have a rock solid belief in our Rainmaker Marketing Program and now, we have added radio to our marketing toolkit. I have launched Real Estate Matters, a daily 30-minute show on KFSD am1450. The show airs weekdays at 6pm and is another great tool for marketing. ¢
