FROM THE PUBLISHER VOL. 7, NO. 3 TM

Horsing Around

P U B L I S HE R

Derrick Breaux

I

’m from Southeast Texas, so I’ve been on my fair share of horses growing up. My good friend had a couple of horses that we would saddle up and ride to the levee.

And no, I’m not making this stuff up – there really was a levee about a mile from my childhood home. I’m pretty sure that people have written songs about this.

When I met my wife about 20 years ago, I learned that she grew up with horses.

Over the years, she shared many stories of riding on the endless trails in Poway – many of which have long been taken over by developments and homes. The time that she spent with her horses growing up made a lasting impression that she holds close to her heart.

Our youngest daughter, Audrey, started taking riding lessons a couple of years ago. Although she has traditionally split her extracurricular hours between soccer, softball, and music, we noticed that she quickly developed a strong passion for horseback riding.

Last year Audrey approached us with the idea of adopting or rescuing a horse.

At first, we thought the idea was absurd.

But this didn’t deter her. While she could have accepted our decision and moved on, instead, she began developing a plan and documenting everything that needed to take place in order to accomplish her goal. She presented her plan to us – which included her own financial and time commitments.

And as you may have guessed by reading this and seeing the photo, Audrey did find a horse that needed a new home. In fact, she actually found two horses (eight-year-old brothers from different mothers). Thankfully the horses had not been abused, but they had been neglected.

Unfortunately, they were left in their stalls at a facility in Los Angeles with very little socializing and human attention for the past year and a half.

Little did these two horses know, they were about to get the full attention of a very determined and dedicated 13-year-old girl. Over the past couple of months, we have watched these horses transform from nervous and shy creatures to warm and loving family members. I have observed a beautiful bond develop between my daughter and these giant animals that is very difficult to describe.

Although I was skeptical at first, what started out to be a project for my daughter and wife has turned into a family affair. It has been refreshing to take an hour here and an hour there to join them at the stables. Time seems to slow down while we are there.

Technology is optional at best. It is very tranquil and therapeutic. But most importantly, I get to watch and be involved while memories are made that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

RHIAN BRISTOL CREATES A POWERFUL CONNECTION THROUGH MUSIC

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Sibling: Hobbies & Interests: Favorite Local Spots:

Rhian Shelby Bristol (17) The Grauer School 12 David and Stephanie Bristol Kendall Bristol (13) Music, neuroscience, community service, going to concerts, hiking, traveling, going to movies Highway 101, SRF Meditation Gardens, Bier Garden, and Encinitas Café

hian Bristol has made a living connection from past to present through a truly inspiring school project. A senior at The Grauer School, Rhian has combined her passion for music with her desire to help people heal in a way that has reached far beyond the scope of a class assignment.

Rhian’s U.S. History class project required students to research and creatively represent an unheard or misunderstood voice of the Civil Rights era. Rhian chose to represent Juliette Hampton Morgan, a white librarian in Montgomery, AL, through song. Rhian explained, “Morgan suffered from anxiety and could not drive; instead, she rode the city bus every day and witnessed the prejudiced treatment of African American riders by the white bus drivers.

Morgan began to stand up and pull the emergency cord, stopping the bus whenever she saw an African American treated badly.” Morgan also wrote letters to local papers supporting integration. Due to her activism, Morgan and her family were targeted by segregationists.

Tragically, Morgan committed suicide in 1957 at the age of 43.

The process of representing Morgan’s story through song was stressful, but Rhian knew it was the perfect medium since Morgan was also a writer. Many drafts later, Rhian composed a song that “really embodied Morgan’s character and pain,” she said.

The young songwriter felt the music and its message needed a larger audience than her class. “Immediately when I finished the song I wished someone who knew her could hear it.”

Rhian’s mother, Stephanie, helped make that happen by contacting the Juliette Hampton Morgan Library in Montgomery. Through this connection, living family members of Morgan heard the song and reached out to Rhian. “All I have ever wanted to do with my music is connect to people, and when her family heard the song and reached out, it was the culmination of that wish,” Rhian said. “It meant so much to me that I made these strangers proud of their history and of me.” Rhian will be performing the song for the community at Aztec Brewing Company in Vista on Feb. 14.

Rhian also makes connections through her service to the school and community. She is the senior class president, a member of the National Honor Society, and volunteers with the National Charity League. “I know it sounds corny but my goal is to really leave this earth a better place than I found it,” Rhian acknowledged. She plans to continue this work through her college education, combining her love of music and science in her future academics. 

Making Connections

LIBRARY PROGRAM SERIES CONNECTS THROUGH STORYTELLING AND ART

A

rts for Learning San Diego presented the Family Arts and Literacy Connection series at the Encinitas Library through a grant by the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation. Each event included a performance by a renowned local storyteller, followed by a hands-on art activity and a free book giveaway.

The series included two events in December and one in January. The first, called Stories of Celebration From Around the World, gave attendees the opportunity to enjoy a cultural storytelling by Marilyn McPhie and a colored paper bag lantern craft with visual artist Stacie Greene. The second December event included traditional holiday stories, reflection on the holiday season, and a three-

dimensional star ornament craft. All families received a copy of The Polar Express. The January event, in celebration of the 2018 One Book, One San Diego selections, told the tales of courageous individuals such as Fannie Lou Hamer and the Buffalo Soldiers by storyteller Alyce Smith Cooper. Visual artist Deron Cohen then presented an art project called “What color am I?” in which participants were challenged to re-create their own skin colors using acrylic paint to make a self-portrait.

The final event of the series, called Family Art with Heart, will occur on Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 4 to 5:30 p.m.

Families will learn how to make a quilled paper heart using construction paper just in time for Valentine’s Day, and receive a copy of Pete the Cat, Valentine’s Day Is Cool. Contact the Encinitas Library to register.

Family Arts and Literacy Connection series programs are designed to create meaningful and education-based connections between communities and local libraries through the arts.

Each event encourages creativity, art-based communication, and self-expression, and gives local families the opportunity to unplug from technology and spend time together.

7th Annual 5K Paw Walk in the Garden photo by Rachel Cobb

San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) is teaming up with Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) for the 7th Annual 5K Paw Walk in the Garden on Saturday, Feb. 16 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Participants follow a scenic 5K walk through the 37acre garden, winding through areas with exotic flora from all over the world. The event also features pet products, food and treats, a costume contest, adoptable dogs, and the popular peanut butter and cream cheese challenge. Prizes will be awarded to contest winners and largest fundraisers.

This annual event, which benefits both SDBG and RCHS, is the only time during the year that pet dogs are allowed in the garden with their human friends. Last year’s event drew 600 attendees and raised approximately $25,000 for the organizations. For more information and to register visit www.5kpawwalk.org.

Padres Pedal the Cause

Padres Pedal the Cause, a nonprofit organization founded by North County residents Bill and Amy Koman, raised $2.9 million for local cancer research at its annual event in November at Petco Park. Over 2,500 participants cycled 25 to 100 miles on one of four routes across San Diego, spun in a high-energy stationary bike class, ran or walked a 5K, or rode a tricycle or scooter in the kids’ challenge.

Padres Pedal the Cause Executive Director Anne Marbarger presented the check to beneficiary representatives from Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego at a celebratory gathering in January. “It’s inspiring to see the impact of the Padres Pedal community in San Diego,” said Anne. “Cancer affects every one of us in some way, and we are proud to invest in local research.”

Since 2013, Padres Pedal the Cause has raised and donated over $10 million to fund 53 translational research projects and clinical trials.

Registration for this year’s event on Nov. 16 will open in mid-April. For more information visit www.gopedal.org.

2019 Don Diego Scholarships Applications are open for the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation’s 2019 scholarships, offering a total of $66,000 to 28 outstanding students who reside in San Diego County and have participated in the San Diego County Fair or other activities associated with the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The care packages are a welcome bright spot during deployment. “It’s so nice to receive a package that I feel is curated specifically for women and our needs,” shared A1C B., Krislyn.

The Fun Run and 5K will be held Saturday, March 16 at 9 a.m. at Kit Carson Park. Proceeds from the event will provide shipping and supplies for care packages. “Our goal is to raise $20,000 to fulfill our growing demand for care packages during this upcoming year,” said OCIB Founder and President Cindy Chan-Ley. “San Diegans have been such amazing supporters in the past, and we invite everyone including sponsors to sign on to help us reach this goal.”

New Encinitas Children’s Book Sisters Nancy and Julia Glen will soon release their second children’s book, titled Encinitas Adventures. The book is part of a series focused on Southern California communities that help children get to know the history of where they live. “Encinitas is such a diverse and interesting place,” said Nancy. “We drew our inspiration from the people, the landscape, the art, and the rich historical legacy.” Even Mayor Blakespear, a fourth-generation Encinitas resident, had a role in the project – her cat will portray the mayor character in the book!

The first book in Nancy and Julia’s series was Oceanside Adventures, with plans for Carlsbad, Vista, Escondido, and San Marcos next. Encinitas Adventures will be available for purchase in early March, and a portion of the proceeds will go towards local literacy programs.

hen smart children are struggling in school, it can be difficult to filter out all the confusing advice about what to do and where to go.

“Parents, you are not alone,” said Maria Bagby, Founder and Executive Director of the Therapeutic Learning Center. “It’s not your fault and it’s not your child being lazy. Weak or inefficient processing skills will cause a bright student to struggle. These skills are not taught in school or in traditional tutoring.”

“Permanent changes can be made by finding the root skills and building them,” said Maria. Students that come to TLC are students that are taking too much time to do their homework, have attention difficulties, have difficulty with reading, comprehension, writing, and math.

TLC is making things easier for parents in 2019 by letting everyone know that they are a “one-stop-shop.”

San Dieguito Academy’s Visual Arts Department Helps Students Express Themselves photos by Soul of Photography

A

t San Dieguito Academy (SDA), students are encouraged to create, explore, and discover

their individual voice through the arts.

With class options including everything from drawing, painting, and sculpture to cartooning, art history, and fashion design, students have plenty of opportunities to express themselves artistically. Read along as we speak with SDA Visual Arts Department teachers Angela Jackson, Jeremy Wright, Kajsa Medak, and Zachary Ramirez to learn more about how students are growing and thriving through art.

Q&A with SDA Visual Arts Department CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SDA’S VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT? Jackson: The Visual Arts Department has been a part of the curriculum since the school opened in 1936. Many art teachers have taught students when it was San Dieguito High School and then re-designed into San Dieguito High School Academy. David Newcomb was a big part of why San Dieguito High School and then the Academy is known for having an “art” focus. John Ratajkowski was hired as the original art teacher when the Academy was established in 1996 but there was a large unexpected enrollment for art sections and David Newcomb returned. Neal Glasgow was then hired after Newcomb retired with Jeremy Wright added as an art teacher of the Academy since 2003. Currently, we have three full-time art teachers and one part-time teacher.

Wright: It is not traditional in the sense that we do not care about the California State “Standards.” We honor every student’s journey and finding their voice in the visual arts.

WHAT TYPES OF CLASSES ARE OFFERED

BY THE DEPARTMENT? Beginning classes such as Drawing & Design, Painting, Sculpture, Studio Art, Digital Imaging, Cartooning, and Fashion Design. Intermediate courses, such as Advanced Sculpture and Seminar in Art. AP-level and senior courses, such as AP Studio Art, AP Art History, and Art Leadership.

WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT? Jackson: In essence, it’s all about fostering “student voice.” The artwork that you see at SDA is all studentcentered.

February | March 2019 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • 19

C O V E R F E AT U R E MISSION Our mission is to teach the visual arts in the context of an overall liberal arts education. We are a collaborative learning community, which encourages students to think creatively and be innovative, to find their own style and artistic voice, and to understand and analyze the artistic pursuit. We strive to help lead our students in becoming engaged and insightful participants.

VISION We nurture and develop learning environments that are designed to foster a supportive creative community, problem-solving skills, and collaborative thinking. Our vision is for students to be open-minded, think critically, and to have a lifelong appreciation of art.

HOW DID YOU PERSONALLY BECOME INVOLVED WITH SDA’S VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT? Jackson: I completed my student teaching at SDA in 2005 with John Ratajkowski as my mentor teacher. Those six months indoctrinated me into the core beliefs of the Academy and I am so thankful to have worked with many of the original Academy teachers. I also helped build the visual art department at Canyon Crest Academy for eight years before returning to SDA in the fall of 2015. I truly enjoy being back and carrying the torch for all the great art that has transpired here at San Dieguito. I couldn’t

SDA VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT

think of being anywhere else and see this school as such a special community.

Wright: I’ve been here for over 16 years, but over 20 in our district. I taught at three other schools in our district, but this one stuck for me.

Medak: I personally became involved with SDA’s Visual Arts Department during my second year of teaching. I started my teaching career at Carmel Valley Middle School and during that second year was asked to teach a Drawing & Design class at SDA. The timing worked out and eventually I found my home at SDA. I couldn’t imagine a better fit – I wish I went to SDA when I was in high school!

Ramirez: Right place, right time. I grew up in this area, so I made and nurtured a lot of connections. When a position opened up here at SDA, Mr. Camacho got in touch with me, and here I am.

WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF YOUR ROLE? THE MOST CHALLENGING? Jackson: Seeing students thrive and create daily is wonderful. Also, knowing students have continued with their passion in art is always a plus. But one of the best things to hear is when a former student, who might not have pursued the arts, says that art class was one of their

favorite classes in high school. It’s fostering that sense of community, creativity, and warmth to last a lifetime. There really isn’t a challenging aspect – it’s an amazing job!

Wright: The most rewarding is when you are there to help turn on the lights for students – you see that epiphany happen in the moment.

Challenging? When you get students who just don’t want to be there and bring down the rest of the environment. How do you guide that one individual in a positive direction? How do you try to make a connection?

Medak: There are a lot of rewarding aspects of my job. I love teaching in the ceramics room because my students come to class super excited and eager to see the new pieces come out of the kiln. You never know exactly how a piece will end up during the firing process which makes it really exciting to see how it turned out. It is really rewarding to see this spark of excitement in my students!

One of the most challenging aspects of my role is dealing with equipment that is overworked. The equipment is being run constantly, so inevitably there are parts that fail at what never seems to be an opportune time. Thankfully our administration team has been really supportive in helping us get up and running as soon as possible.

Favorite Local Spot: The beach!

Ramirez: The most rewarding aspect of my role as an art teacher is to see the kids really embrace the art room, and feel comfortable enough to explore, experiment, and be individually expressive. It’s also rewarding to see the growth of each kid, and how much more confidence they have in making art by the end of the semester. They walk into the classroom not fully aware of what they can accomplish or create, and to see them have those artistic breakthroughs and become passionate about an idea or a project is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. The most challenging part is probably establishing and maintaining the creative environment in the art room, and getting students to not be afraid to fail.

WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR PROJECTS WITH STUDENTS? Jackson: Murals, community connections (we exhibit with the City of Encinitas on a yearly basis), group projects, and painting on Plexiglass and on our trashcans.

Wright: I always like to do extracurricular projects with our students around our campus, for example: murals, sculptures, and art-related events.

Medak: I love to see what the students come

up with from their imaginations when given the tools, technique options, a bit of inspiration, and a lot of encouragement!

HOW HAVE THE VISUAL ARTS AT SDA GROWN OR CHANGED OVER THE YEARS? We continue to see growth. We have an additional art teacher, a new building to move into, new courses offered for students, more community connections, public art, and, of course, more amazing student artwork.

ARE THERE ANY UPCOMING EVENTS OR FUNDRAISERS THE COMMUNITY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? We regularly have restaurant nights that help our department. Check the SDA Facebook or our Instagram to keep posted.

WHAT ARE THE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS OF THE DEPARTMENT? We are projected to move into our new stateof-the-art facility for Fall 2019 and are looking forward to being all together again and near our colleagues for collaborations in our new humanities building.

HOW CAN COMMUNITY MEMBERS SUPPORT THE VISUAL ARTS AT SDA? Jackson: We have over 800 students enrolled

Occupation: Visual Art Teacher Community: Cardiff-by-the-Sea Education: BFA in Art, Penn State University; M.Ed.

in visual arts classes each year. That’s a lot of hungry artists needing materials daily. We always welcome donations of anything – from old house paint to whole art studios and everything in between. Also, you can donate through our fabulous Foundation. Please make sure it includes “Visual Art” in the memo or donate online at sdafoundation.com.

Wright: Shoot us an email with what junk you might be throwing out. Sometimes it is that “junk” that makes for a great art project!

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOUR DEPARTMENT IN JUST FIVE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Jackson: Fun, funky, creative, accepting, and community.

Wright: “We are a bunch of misfits who found each other” – is that five words?

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE? Jackson: We are the only high school in the district that has a student-run art gallery with rotating exhibits. That gallery is the equivalent of a stage for artists. It is a strong and powerful component of our program and fosters community.

Wright: This is a special, unique place. I cannot imagine teaching anywhere else.  February | March 2019 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • 21

FROM THE DENTIST

BABY TEETH: Brush ‘em,

F loss ‘em, or Forget ‘em?

by SPENCER MAUSETH, D.D.S., Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics 4S Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

T

ime to celebrate! Your new little one got their first tooth.

Now what do we do?

Since they’re just baby teeth we don’t really need to do much, right? Aren’t they going to fall out soon? Many have bought into the mistaken belief that baby teeth aren’t that important since we won’t have them forever.

The reality is baby teeth won’t be done falling out until about 12 years old. New permanent teeth start coming in at age six.

Dental disease that affects baby teeth can easily cause lasting damage to the new adult teeth.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry states “Tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease – five times more common than asthma, four times more common than early childhood obesity, and 20 times more common than diabetes.”

But the little smile that you love so much, properly taken care of, can lead to a lifetime free of dental disease. Cavities are preventable!

If your little one doesn’t want to eat the right foods or puts up a little resistance for hygiene, just remember how much better it will be to know your child is cavity-free.

Pediatric dentists are perfect team members to help you reach the developing milestones that children go through. Passing these milestones together will assist you in

being the biggest defender of your child’s oral health. It will take effort, but as time passes and the cavities don’t come, your efforts will pay off.

So don’t forget ‘em. Do brush ‘em, floss ‘em, and please enjoy that sweet little smile while you’ve got it. 

a Costa 35 Athletic Club recently hosted its 8th Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament, benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad.

Over the years, the event has raised over $300,000 to help provide local children a safe place to play and learn. “Padres Pitcher Heath Bell was our special guest host this year, and he added a new dimension to the event,” said Tournament Director Rob Holzman. “There were 22 poker tables, over 200 players, and an all-time record of $60,000 in net proceeds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad!” This year’s winner was Kirk Miller, who selected a one-week trip to Maui as his prize.
