Learning Problems Don’t Have to be Permanent There are Real and Lasting Solutions
Having a learning challenge can be compared to doing a job at the top of a ladder, whose lower rungs are unstable. Working in this way makes the job harder, and take longer to complete. By strengthening the lower rungs, or underlying skills, learning challenges can be eliminated, and work done at the top of the ladder can improve, with increased attention, focus, confidence and success!
“
After working with TLC, our daughter does all her homework without prompting, needs very little help, and her grades are all A’s and B+. She seems happy and confident. Her work with TLC has been invaluable, and we are very thankful!” -TLC parent
“All of the staff is amazing-- caring, patient, & positive. My son's clinician challenged him without pushing him to frustration. A worthwhile investment in my child's future!” -TLC parent “TLC is nothing short of a miracle. I will admit I was initially hesitant. It is not cheap, and the promises of academic progress seem too good to be true. However, I am not being dramatic when I say it was worth every penny and it changed my son's academic life forever.” - TLC parent

Creating Lasting Memories
P U B L I S HE R
Derrick Breaux
M
y wife and I have been blessed with extended families that are very involved in our lives. Being a transplant from Texas (where most of my family still lives), I can appreciate that my wife is a rare third generation San Diegan. She is lucky to have most of her family close by. While we try to spend as much time as possible with both sides of the family, sometimes it gets a little difficult to get everyone together at the same time due to busy schedules and locations. Spending time with the family creates lasting memories. Six years ago, shortly after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather decided to start a tradition of an annual family reunion trip. So each summer, my wife and I take our kids to a lake house outside of Austin, TX for the annual Breaux Family Reunion. For a week, we get to visit and catch up with multiple generations of Breauxs. Our kids hang with their cousins, and the older generation can reminisce about the good ol’ days. It’s been an awesome family tradition that my late grandfather started and left to the family for years to come. My aunt, uncles, and dad are carrying on the annual tradition. And continuing with the creating memories theme, this year my wife’s family surprised everyone with a family trip (thank you T & D). We were able to spend a week with my wife’s parents and her brother and sister’s families. As we cruised through the blue Caribbean waters and various ports of call, we all had a blast visiting and spending time together. The entire experience – the six months leading up to the vacation and the vacation itself – was amazing. Our kids and their cousins ruled the ship (or at least they thought), and all of us adults acted like kids again – even my wife’s parents! There was no shortage of laughs and memorable moments, nor is there a shortage of great photos. I guarantee that we will all be talking about this for years to come. Since these vacations have had such a positive impact on us, I wanted to take a moment to make sure that our families know how much we appreciate spending time with them (yes, some of them actually read this magazine!). Thank you to my late grandparents. Thank you to my dad. Thank you to my aunts and uncles for continuing the traditions, and thank you to my in-laws for putting together a fantastic trip. We love you guys! And thank YOU for being a reader of 92024 Magazine. Please don’t be a stranger.

Inspired SEWING T
LAURA AND JASMINE PRINCE INSPIRE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THREAD AND NEEDLE by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Soul of Photography
BY
en years ago, Laura Prince paired her entrepreneurial passion with her sewing skills to open the doors of Sew Inspired, a boutique sewing studio in Encinitas. A decade later, the studio has taught hundreds of children and adults to sew. Laura invests as much passion into the business as she did from day one. “I love seeing the joy and satisfaction on the face of a new student completing their very first sewing project!” she said. Laura shares this joy with her daughter, Jasmine, who opened her own “pop-up” shop in the sewing studio. Jasmine’s Banner Co. was born of a project sewing together 8-by-8-inch squares created by students. This grew into an order for a banner for a new baby and then a booth at the farmers market. “And a little business was born,” Laura explained. Four years later, Laura and Jasmine are looking long term. “Our goal is to one day have a thriving sewing factory, so we can hire more young adults with special needs. They have a difficult time finding meaningful employment.” The family has first-hand experience with the struggles faced by these young adults – 22-year-old Jasmine has Down syndrome. Laura has been working to create a network of support within the church community. “Last year, I created a missionary outreach called You’re Invited,” she said. Through the outreach, Laura hopes churches will open their arms to serving the needs of this community. “They need more same-age friends, and, because most of these guys and gals cannot drive, they need rides from members of their church family,” Laura shared. “We just need the loving support of an established church to welcome us.” The rewards of Laura’s work are in the relationships. She watches the excitement of her students and loves when they return to be part-time sewing teachers. At Jasmine’s Banner Co. she sees Jasmine’s pride when interacting with customers. Through the You’re Invited outreach, Laura witnesses the connections of special needs adults to their peer group. “When everyone gets together, the simplicity of conversation and the ‘raw joys’ of life surface,” she explained. Ten years into a successful business, Laura offers encouragement for other entrepreneurs. “We create a vision and new ways to do things,” she said. “We create jobs and make the world a better place. This is a good thing.”
“WHEN EVERYONE GETS TOGETHER, THE SIMPLICITY OF CONVERSATION AND THE ‘RAW JOYS’ OF LIFE SURFACE.”

DISCUSSION-BASED LEARNING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
M
iddle school is a time of both challenge and opportunity. Students face increasing social distractions and often larger classes, making it easier for them to “check out.” Yet, developmentally, adolescents are primed for intellectual growth. One of the best ways to keep middle school students learning is through active discussion. At Pacific Ridge School, they use Harkness, a teaching method in which an average of 15 students sit with their teacher around an oval table and coursework is collaboratively discussed. SOME BENEFITS ARE: Engagement: Harkness is studentcentered. Rather than passively receiving information, students participate in obtaining, sharing, and evaluating it. Everyone has a seat at the table – students have a voice and their peers listen.
Skill building: Harkness helps students develop a cache of important skills, such as critical thinking, fact-based observation, effective speaking, respectful listening, collaboration, and an appreciation for differing perspectives. Confidence: Adolescents want their opinion to matter, and are pleasantly surprised when it does. Students take intellectual risks in Harkness, gaining confidence interacting with peers and adults alike.
While proficiency with Harkness generally comes in the high school years, regular practice is both stimulating and invaluable for middle schoolers, resulting in young adults who are self-reliant and articulate, engaged in collaborative problem solving, and who value divergent viewpoints. The earlier students develop these skills, the more engaged in their education they will become. For information about Harkness at Pacific Ridge or to register for their Nov. 16 Open House, visit pacificridge.org/OpenHouse.

COMMUNITY STUFF
Encinitas Engineers Honored
Encinitas Local Wins Don Diego Scholarship
The American Society of Civil Engineers recently honored two City of Encinitas employees for projects they spearheaded and completed in 2018. Both projects focused on connecting existing sidewalk segments to provide better access for pedestrians. Engineer II Pete Milligan managed the South Coast Highway 101 Sidewalk Improvement Project, which constructed sidewalks, ADA facilities, landscaping, and bike racks on the east side of South Coast Highway 101 to connect The Lumberyard shopping center to the Santa Fe Drive Undercrossing. The project was selected for an Award of Merit in the Community Improvement category. Engineer II Matt Widelski’s Requeza Street Sidewalk Improvement Project constructed a sidewalk on the north side of Requeza Street from the existing sidewalk at Sunset High School west to the corner of Requeza Street and Westlake Street. The project received an Award of Merit in the Small Project category.
Encinitas’ Margaret “Sissy” Sugarman was among the 23 recipients of Don Diego Foundation Scholarships totaling $66,000 this year. Sissy received a $5,000 Junior Livestock Auction and a $2,500 Zable Foundation 4-H scholarship to help support her education at Principia College, where she will major in biology with the ultimate goal of becoming a zoology veterinarian and conservationist. Sissy grew up on her family’s farm in Encinitas and has competed at the San Diego County Fair since she was six years old. She is also a goat yoga teacher, pollination educator, riding instructor, and farm tour coordinator. The Don Diego scholars were celebrated at the Don Diego Gala at the fairgrounds in June. “All 23 recipients are ambitious, idealistic, ready, eager, and capable of being the change they want to see in the world,” said Foundation Executive Director Chana Mannen. Since its inception in 1986, the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to 257 students and in agriculture and education grants. Learn more at www.dondiegoscholarship.org.
Nonprofits Receive RSF Garden Club Grants
Local Nonprofit Expands Impact 92024-based nonprofit Rollin’ from the Heart has recently expanded its outreach to neighboring communities by launching four new after school skating programs with Vista Juvenile Court and Community Schools, San Pasqual Academy, Pro Kids Oceanside, and North County Lifeline, for a total of seven locations now offering programming throughout San Diego County. Rollin’ from the Heart was named after Ian “Poods” Barry, a local Encinitan who passed away unexpectedly in 2012, as a way to honor his active and adventurous spirit. The foundation provides disadvantaged and at-risk youth the opportunity to participate in activities like skateboarding, surfing, and camping in an effort to promote a more active lifestyle and encourage positive choices. On Nov. 8, Rollin’ from the Heart will host An Evening of Art and Music, a free family-friendly event with local art displays, live music, a raffle, and more at the Encinitas Community Center from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Stay up-to-date at www.rollinfromtheheart.org.
SDBG’s 20th Annual Gala in the Garden
92024’s Coastal Roots Farm was one of 13 nonprofit organizations awarded grants from the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club totaling nearly $100,000 this year. Coastal Roots Farm received $6,561 for farm equipment. The grants helped fund initiatives that further the mission of each organization. Projects were required to address a community need; be technically and economically feasible; ensure that all those actively involved in the project will benefit from the results; facilitate the transfer of technology, skills, and knowledge to others; and foster self-sufficiency. North County recipients included: TERI ($11,257); RSF Association Forest Health and Preservation Committee ($10,000); MiraCosta College ($9,500); Carmel Creek Elementary School ($7,500); The Nature Collective ($5,000); Mission Estancia Elementary School ($2,136); and Roger Rowe School ($2,206). Other recipients included San Pasqual Academy, Hancock Elementary School, Balboa Park Conservatory, Darnall Charter School, and Children’s Discovery Museum. Learn more at www.rsfgardenclub.org.
San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) will host its 20th Annual Gala in the Garden: Cultivating Community on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 5 to 10 p.m. Guests can stroll through lush garden areas while enjoying signature cocktails, gourmet cuisine from local restaurants and caterers, live entertainment, interactive education stations, and jaw-dropping decor. The event also offers guests a special sneak peek at the Garden’s new exhibit space, the Dickinson Family Education Conservatory, named after this year’s Paul Ecke Jr. Award honorees Martin and Carol Dickinson. The conservatory – opening to the public soon – will help the Garden advance education, conservation, and community engagement for local San Diegans and visitors alike. Gala in the Garden is SDBG’s largest annual event and fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting the Garden. For tickets and information about sponsorship opportunities go to www.sdbgarden.org/gala.htm or call Josh Pinpin at 760-436-3036 ext. 217.

Pediatrics, Primary Care, and Express Care in Encinitas
U
C San Diego Health’s brand-new medical clinic is a one-stop shop for residents of Encinitas and surrounding communities. The new location, which opened in June, offers world-class care to patients of all ages in one convenient location. Infants, children, and teenagers receive compassionate care from pediatricians through all their developmental stages in a supportive, family-friendly environment. “A new patient to my practice can expect to collaborate with me on the health of their child,” said pediatrician Dr. Robert Coles. “I want parents to be involved, to ask questions, and for us to walk through the process together.” Services offered include prenatal consultations, newborn care, well-baby and well-child visits, and coordination with pediatric specialists if needed. Family medicine at UC San Diego Health offers providers who can care for the entire family, including children, adults, and seniors. With a model of care that is based on building personal relationships and putting patients first, physicians emphasize communication, shared decisionmaking, and accessibility. “Family doctors take care of the whole patient, not just the medical and clinical aspect of their lives,” said primary care physician and Encinitas medical director Dr. Yewah Jung. “I like to ask my patients how their day was and how their family is, because those are often very important factors in a patient’s health.”
16 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • August | September 2019
Choosing UC San Diego Health for primary care also means that patients have access to an entire network of advanced specialty care. As a nationally recognized academic medical center, UC San Diego Health includes multidisciplinary teams of experts who can provide medical and surgical resources not offered in other settings or networks. Patients have access to the state-of-the-art Jacobs Medical Center hospital in La Jolla, as well as various specialty services in nearby offices in Encinitas, including cancer care, women’s health and obstetrics, orthopedics, urology, and more. For common health care needs including coughs, colds, sore throats, ear infections, and simple fractures or sprains, as well as wellness visits for certain kinds of prescriptions or school health screenings, patients have a same-day access option with Express Care, available 12 hours a day, seven days a week. And with the Save My Spot feature, patients can check wait times online and save their spot in line so they spend less time at the clinic. UC San Diego Health is an integral part of the local community as a member of the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and the North San Diego Business Chamber. Clinic leadership also includes Encinitas resident Desiree Leithem, nurse practitioner and director of advanced practice providers for UC San Diego Health. Her children go to school in Encinitas and participate in local YMCA and Little League activities. All UC San Diego Health physicians and nurse practitioners are board certified and focused on the importance of accessible, personalized care. “I believe the patient and the doctor are part of a team,” said Dr. Jung. “My job is primarily to listen and figure out the tools to empower my patients to make healthy changes in their lives.” August | September 2019 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • 17

Dr. Kami Hoss Improves the Teeth Straightening Process with Acceledontics™
T
he Super Dentists’ Dr. Kami Hoss is transforming the dental experience for children and adults – orthodontics included. Traditional braces typically take years to straighten teeth and can cause decalcification and discomfort. Dr. Kami Hoss decided it was time to modernize braces, so with his team of orthodontists at The Super Dentists, he created Acceledontics™, a revolutionary five-step program designed to give patients a healthy bite and straighter teeth in as little as four months, along with a whiter smile in as little as four minutes. Using exclusive AADvance® braces hardware, Acceledontics™ can effectively correct all orthodontic issues such as rotated teeth, malocclusion (misalignment of upper and lower teeth), and overcrowded teeth. Acceledontics™ also incorporates professional whitening to keep teeth sparkling during and after treatment. While traditional braces fill the mouth with metal brackets, wires, and elastics to move teeth into alignment, Acceledontics™ AADvance® braces and auxiliary devices are lightweight and self-adjusting, allowing teeth to move into alignment with less pressure. The self-adjustment element also results in a decreased likelihood of damaging teeth and roots. There are no age limitations for patients to receive Acceledontics™, as long as they qualify for treatment. “Acceledontics™ is best for patients who have their permanent teeth and who enjoy good dental health and good overall health,” Dr. Kami Hoss said. “If a patient meets those criteria, whether they are 10 years old or 80 years old, they are likely to be a good candidate.” The average cost of Acceledontics™ is comparable to traditional braces, but patients complete their treatment in as little as four months, making it the perfect solution for an upcoming event such as prom or a wedding. “With Acceledontics™ you can have straight teeth up to 50 percent faster [than traditional braces],” said Dr. Kami Hoss. “And it will greatly reduce the amount of time you spend in the orthodontist’s chair.” Patients can make an appointment for Acceledontics™ at four of The Super Dentists locations in San Diego: Carmel Valley, Eastlake, Kearny Mesa, and Oceanside. The Acceledontics™ offices work with almost all dental insurance, along with PPO insurance. For more information go to www.Acceledontics.com.

A Healthy Family Starts With a Doctor You Can Trust
M
anaging your family’s health care is not usually top of mind until a loved one is sick or you’ve had a life change. Choosing the right care can be overwhelming and confusing, but selecting a primary care doctor ahead of time helps ensure the best care for your family when the need arises. A primary care doctor coordinates your family’s routine and specialty care. Finding the right doctor will depend on your unique needs. If you haven’t given much thought to this important decision, here’s a good place to start: Decide which type of primary care doctor you want. There are four types of primary care doctors: • Pediatricians care for children and adolescents. • Family medicine doctors treat the whole family, from infants to older adults. • Internal medicine doctors treat adults age 18 and up. • Internal medicine/pediatric doctors are board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics, and treat people of all ages.
Think about your personal preferences. • Are you more comfortable with a male or female doctor? • Do you want your doctor’s office close to your home or work? • Do you need a doctor who speaks a language other than English? • Which hospitals does the doctor admit to?
Consider convenience. Many North County families that have busy schedules look for a doctor who offers a wide variety of ways to access care. These can include: • Video and phone appointments. • The convenience of a medical center where many services, such as pharmacy, lab, radiology, and urgent care, are all under one roof. • Same-day appointments. • After-hours pediatric care for when the kids are sick. • The ability to securely manage your and your family’s health care online by messaging your doctor’s office, making appointments, viewing lab results, and more. Confirm your insurance coverage. When you find the ideal doctor, you’ll need to verify if they are in your health plan network. Call the number listed on your insurance card to confirm, and let your insurance carrier know you’ve selected that person as your new primary care doctor. Sharp Rees-Stealy can help you navigate your options and make it easy to find a doctor. Plus, they accept almost all health insurance plans. Select your doctor at sharp.com/srsdoctor or by calling 858-264-2539.

Dreaming Big for Small Animal Care S A N TA L U Z A N I M A L C A R E P R OV I D E S P R O G R E S S I V E , I N N OVAT I V E S E RV I C E F O R P E T S A N D T H E I R H U M A N S
T
op-notch medical care is key to keeping our families healthy and happy – and that goes for our four-legged family members too. That’s why San Diego native Dr. Laura Greenlee Johnson grew up dreaming of becoming a small animal veterinarian. She’s worked with both human and animal patients over the course of her education and career. After graduating from University of California San Diego’s Muir College, Laura worked for several years as part of a team conducting cardiovascular health research in children through early school intervention programs, while also completing a master’s degree in exercise physiology. At 28 years of age, Laura decided it was time to follow her childhood dreams and ventured off to the Caribbean to the island of St. Kitts in order to attend Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She thrived there and even earned the seventh-semester achievement award for her class, which is given to the top student at the end of their final semester of the pre-clinical portion of studies in St. Kitts before heading off to the full clinical year at another U.S. veterinary school. Laura attended Washington State University for her senior clinical year of veterinary school and embraced the change of living in and exploring Washington, Oregon, and Idaho during this fast-paced and intensive portion of her veterinary education. Dr. Greenlee, as she was known by for the next 14 years while working at All Creatures Hospital, Inc. in Del Mar as an associate veterinarian, married her husband Brian Johnson, a longtime Fairbanks Ranch resident, in 2010 in Rancho Santa Fe. They started a family, which now consists of three boys: Nate (8) and Luke and Blake (4-year-old twins). In 2018, Laura decided it was time to follow her next dream and embarked on the journey to establish her own veterinary clinic. After 16 years of practicing, Laura had established a vision of what she felt an ideal veterinary clinic would be like. She’s worked hard to bring that vision to life at Santaluz Animal Care (SAC). SAC provides general practice veterinary medicine, dentistry, and soft tissue surgery (including spays, neuters, mass removals, and other basic procedures), and orthopedic and specialty surgeries can be scheduled at SAC with a mobile board-certified surgeon. The practice specializes in the care of dogs, cats, and some exotics including rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, and reptiles. SAC treats sick pets and handles veterinary emergencies, as well as focusing on preventative medicine and wellness visits. The office offers a variety of prescription dietary options and medicines onsite and through their competitively-priced online pharmacy. In addition to these traditional services, SAC also offers complementary therapies (alternative medicine), including acupuncture, Chinese veterinary medicine, cold laser therapy, and regenerative medicine. Dr. Johnson and her highly trained staff also use diagnostic tools that are progressive and unique, such as digital thermal imaging, stance analysis, abdominal ultrasound, and digital radiography, as well as digital dental radiography. “The breadth of our offerings, as well as the Fear Free approach to our patients and true quality customer 22 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • August | September 2019
service, is what sets us apart and goes above and beyond the standard veterinary practice experience,” explained Dr. Johnson. Laura’s team members flocked to join her clinic’s staff upon reading about the clinic’s vision in the job descriptions. They are now a cohesive unit, and the clinic’s dream is now their dream job too. “We can’t wait to show you and your furry family members around our Fear Free-inspired, sPAW-like, gorgeous veterinary clinic,” shared Laura. “Oh – and I almost forgot – we also offer full-service pet grooming on site!”

LOCAL RESIDENTS NAMED TO USA SKATEBOARDING TEAM
F
ive North County San Diego residents, including three from Encinitas, were among 16 recently named to the first-ever USA Skateboarding National Team. USA team members will have the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, where Men’s and Women’s Skateboard Park and Street events will make their debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games, based on their three best results in World Skate-sanctioned events during the 2019 qualifying season combined with their six best results during the 2020 qualifying season. The 2020 World Championships will also be a direct qualifier for the games for the top three podium spots at each event. “We couldn’t be more excited to finally take the wraps off the first-ever USA Skateboarding National Team,” said Josh Friedberg, CEO of USA Skateboarding. “It’s a historic moment in the history of skateboarding, and we’re looking forward to doing all we can to support these amazing skateboarders on their road to Tokyo.”
Encinitas local Bryce Wettstein (15) has been skating and surfing since she was five years old and is also currently a full-time honor student. She has been competing in the Vans Pro Park Series for the past three years and qualified for the World Championships every year. Born in Phoenix, AZ, but now living in Encinitas, Brighton Zeuner (15) started skating at four years old, was competing by eight years old, and in 2016, at 12 years old, was crowned the inaugural Vans Park Series World Champion. Tom Schaar (20) was born in Malibu but now lives in Cardiff. He was the youngest person to ever pull a 900 on a skateboard, the first person to ever pull a 1080 on a skateboard, and the youngest person to ever win an X-Games gold medal (at age 12). The USA team also includes Jordyn Barratt, who lives in Carlsbad, and Nicole Hause, who lives in Oceanside. For more information visit www.usaskateboarding.net.
