Samantha Edwards

his issue of 92024 Magazine contains a very special annual real estate section (see page 22). There are many elements that go into building a community, and active local real estate professionals are definitely one of the key components. They are often a part of the community themselves, walking their kids to school or sitting next to us at soccer games. Many of them sponsor school programs and/or donate time and money to local charities and organizations. But perhaps the most important thing is that they are working with us on what is considered to be the single largest investment of our lives – buying or selling our homes. While we often see the faces of our local real estate celebrities in the pages of this magazine, on the real estate signs around town, on the ballpark fences, or even on the shopping carts watching us as we make the dreadful decision to go with paper or plastic, we wanted to take it one step further. Real estate is definitely hyper-local, and this real estate issue gives you a glimpse into the individual “movers and shakers” of our local real estate industry. The intention of the real estate issue is to create a personal introduction to the actual person – not just the Realtor® – that dedicates their career to overseeing our local real estate market. I hope that you enjoy getting to know your local Realtors®. Be sure to say hello to them when you see them around town at Starbucks, on the fields, at the schools, or during their open houses. They are constantly working in front of and behind the Derrick Breaux scenes to keep their fingers on the real estate market pulse and Publisher see that our communities continue to move forward.

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Your Guide to Eating Healthy on Vacation by ELENA DOLGONOS, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Encinitas Getting away from it all – whether a road trip on Route 66, a stay at a beach resort, or sightseeing abroad – is about unwinding, rejuvenating, and trying new things, including the local cuisine. These eight tips can help you eat healthy while seeing the sights. Pack your own snacks. Bring travel-friendly munchies for the car or plane ride, such as whole-grain crackers and an ounce of cheese, trail mix, or cut-up veggies with hummus. Avoid the mini-bar. That little refrigerator in your hotel is filled with snacks and drinks loaded with sugar and salt. Instead of raiding this fridge, pick up snacks at the local farmers

market or grocery and stock your room with fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Eat breakfast. Don’t skip or skimp on the first meal of the day. If you are staying at a resort, take advantage of the breakfast or brunch buffet and fill up on fruit, salads, and whole grains such as whole-wheat toast or oatmeal. Have one treat a day. It’s a vacation, so enjoy special treats. If you are in Paris, you might want a fresh-baked croissant from the bakery around the corner. If you are on a road trip with the kids, you might want to stop at the ice cream stand for a homemade indulgence. Eat slowly and savor every bite. Make your own meals. If you can cook where you are staying, take advantage and try your hand at cooking, especially with produce and items you might not be able to get at home. Now is the time to try fern shoot salad or Connecticut shad.

Eat out at local restaurants. Ask for directions to favorite spots that serve local products. Usually, meals focused on using local foods and spices are prepared in a way that brings out their natural ﬂavors, not disguised with fattening sauces. Don’t be shy about ordering a meal to split if you think the portion sizes will be too much for you to eat at one sitting. Alternatively, if you have a refrigerator in your room you can ask for a doggy bag. Walking is your friend. Strolling through museums, a new city, or on the beach is a chance to explore while burning up calories. If a destination is within a mile, walk. Make sure you bring comfortable, supportive shoes and a first-aid kit for any blisters. Stay hydrated. Dehydration is common when traveling, especially when ﬂying. Bring an empty water bottle to the airport and fill it once you are past the security checkpoint. Stock up on water bottles once you are at your destination and bring a bottle wherever you go. ¢

Elena Dolgonos, M.D., is a family medicine doctor at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Encinitas. Dr. Dolgonos has expertise in a wide array of primary care services, including women’s health, pediatrics, adolescent health, and geriatrics. She is also ﬂuent in both Russian and English.

The McDermott Family Feels They’re in the Best Place on Earth by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Soul of Photography

t was a surprise to everyone they knew when Charlie McDermott abruptly relocated his family to Boston, leaving a secure job at a large company to, in the words of his wife Jessica, “help a nascent cash-strapped biotech realize its true potential.” In the course of this new adventure, they experienced the worst two winters in 100 years, coupled with a very challenging business climate to fund and grow a small business. “However,”

she smiled, “we met all the challenges head on and brought the Leucadia style with us to the cold and reserved quaint town of Wayland in New England.” The family’s love of water was carried with them, and soon they were immersed in the community, trading beach bonfires with surfing for frozen lake fires with ice skating. But they’ve returned, now closer to family and friends, “and to get back to the best place on earth.” What was not a surprise were circumstances behind Charlie and Jessica’s first meeting – they met surfing in Ventura the summer before college! Charlie’s parents grew up going to beaches in Long Island while Charlie and his six siblings grew up surfing in Ventura. Jessica’s parents grew up in La Jolla when it was a tiny beach town, and Jessica and her two sisters spent time at the beaches between Solimar and Rincon. Now the entire McDermott family loves to surf, and children Charlie, 16, Jamie, 13, Lachlan, 11, and Dane, 7, also enjoy traveling, hiking, cooking, bike riding, photography, and creating short movies. Charlie is now president and CBO of that biotech company in Boston, and also serves on the board of a new biotech company in Del Mar. Jessica, formerly a high school biology teacher, has transitioned to biotech sales consulting. She’s recently focused on her artistic passions and is creating a local lifestyle-inspired cookbook. The whole family’s favorite activities are surfing and hanging out with friends. “Our beach crew has become our second family and the ease of meeting new people is what we treasure most about living here in Leucadia,” Jessica said. “When the waves and weather are nice all of our friends end up at the beach without planning and we surf together, watch each other’s kids, and share fine food and drinks well past sunset.” For the McDermott family, life in Leucadia is the perfect smalltown vibe – complete with amazing weather, beaches, and people. 

Fashion, Flowers, and Fido

RCHS’ ADOPTABLE DOGS SHOWCASED AT INAUGURAL EVENT

hree organizations joined forces to present the inaugural Fashion, Flowers, and Fido event at the Carlsbad Flower Fields in April. The event featured a “Haute Dog” runway fashion show with models wearing designer clothing from Carlsbad Premium Outlets and accompanied by a dog available for adoption at Encinitas’ Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS). It was the first time dogs were ever allowed in the Flower Fields. In addition to the fashion show, the evening included food tasting, a beer garden, “Wag and Swag Bags,” and, of course, plenty of pups. Best of all, the event was a smashing success. “We’re still a little overwhelmed by the response for this first-time event,” said RCHS Events Coordinator Kelly Peters. More than 300 guests attended the event, approximately one-third of which brought their own dogs to enjoy

the festivities. “The dogs were well-behaved,” Kelly said. “Many of them took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Doggie Beer Bar. Their beverages were waterbased and offered a number of different flavors for dogs with discriminating tastes.” Proceeds benefited RCHS, the Flower Fields, and Simon Youth Foundation (SYF). Formed in 1960, RCHS is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to care for the homeless animal population of San Diego County and to educate the public about pet over-population and responsible companion animal care. RCHS provides quality shelter care, adoption services, education programs, and an animal safehouse program for the survivors of domestic violence. Learn more at www.sdpets.org. ¢

Passport to Silk Road

ENCINITAS FRIENDS OF THE ARTS EVENT BRINGS CULTURES TOGETHER photos by Jax Connolly

ncinitas Friends of the Arts (EFA) presented the Passport to Silk Road event as part of its Passport Series at the Encinitas Community Center in May.

The Passport Series are one-day events that seek to raise awareness and celebrate the diversity that exists in Encinitas and throughout San Diego County. The events also help EFA raise funds to sustain future events while elevating cultural offerings and drawing recognition to local and regional artistic talent through multidisciplinary experiences. Cultural performers at the Passport to Silk Road included: Grand Master Reza Mahini with the Del Ava Ensemble, the Gulistan Dance Theater, Tara Renelle Roxy, Bahman Sarram, 12 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • June | July 2017

and Mystic Groove Eclectic. “The ensemble won over audiences with their passion and unlimited energy and music that ties together many cultures and expressions into an ecstatic celebration of life,” said EFA president Naimeh Tanha Woodward. Marla Mossman’s Peace Caravan Project was also present, promoting cultural exchanges, deepening understanding of other cultures, and celebrating common humanity through photographs.

Established in 2014, EFA is a nonprofit organization that seeks to support a vibrant arts community. In partnership with the City of Encinitas, EFA fundraises and advocates for the cultural arts in Encinitas and a city-owned arts center. Other EFA programs include the Encinitas Día de los Muertos celebration, Ballet Folklorico de San Dieguito, and public art displays. For more information go to www.encinitasarts.org. ¢

Having attended various activities at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA ever since her first swim class when she was just a toddler, Mika credits the facility for providing her with numerous learning opportunities and thrilling experiences. She explained, “The caring staff comes up with a lot of fun activities that help me learn and stay healthy.” Mika attends YMCA’s summer Adventure Camp, which enables her to “go to different fun places around San Diego for a week on a bus, like Boomers and Dave & Busters,” Mika exclaimed. She is also involved in the YMCA’s Adventure Princesses, a father/daughter bonding enrichment program. Mika professed, “I get to go to a lot of campsites around San Diego with my dad where I can ride my bike, hike, and do cool things like explore mud caves!” Always up for an adventure, Mika enjoys such pursuits as cooking, skateboarding, gymnastics, playing the drums, swimming, and riding her bike and scooter. She added, “I also love taking care of animals and helping people too. When I grow up, I would like to be a veterinarian, a nurse, or a doctor.” Mika already has some familiarity with nurses and doctors, as she was born with a cleft lip and palate and has undergone multiple surgeries to correct it. As a third grader at Paul Ecke Central, Mika especially adores math. She elaborated, “I like challenging myself and figuring out problems, and math is a good way for me to do that.” Another way that Mika challenges herself is by participating in her school’s Spanish Dual Language Immersion program. She shared, “No one in my family speaks Spanish except me!” This lifelong adventurer will surely continue to successfully conquer anything she encounters. 

Face in the Crowd Completes Ultramarathon

Drives for Rides Golf Tournament

Encinitas athlete and previous 92024 Magazine Face in the Crowd Vivian Lee recently completed the 32nd Marathon des Sables, also known as “The Toughest Footrace on Earth.” The six-day race covered 160 miles through the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco. Participants are required to carry everything they need for the duration of the race, including food, clothes, medical supplies, sleeping gear, and a satellite tracking device, as they travel over sand dunes, rocky hills, and dried up riverbeds in up to 120-degree temperatures. The race takes place over six stages with a total distance equivalent to more than six regular marathons. Each day’s distance is roughly equivalent to one marathon, with a 53-mile stage on the fourth day. “The heat, distance, and terrain were some of the many challenges during the race,” Vivian said. “Mental stamina probably constitutes at least 50 percent of whether I could complete the race or not.” Discover more at www.marathondessables.com.

More than 130 golfers participated in the 18-hole tournament at Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, and were also treated to refreshments, raffles, games, contests, prizes, and a dinner reception. A four-player team consisting of Heidi Pearson, Jeanne Rohmann, Bev Letter, and Sharon Dickinson took the top tournament spot. The event raised $57,650 – exceeding the $50,000 goal – which benefits ENF’s flagship program Ride with Emilio, providing children with transportation to their cancer treatments. ENF was created in honor of Emilio Nares, who lost his battle with leukemia just before his sixth birthday. ENF helps low-income, underserved families meet basic needs, especially transportation.

Encinitas Rotarians at Work In recognition of Encinitas Rotary at Work Day, members of the Encinitas Coastal Rotary Club volunteered their time snipping and pruning grapevines at Coastal Roots Farm’s vineyard. “Our greatest challenge in maintaining a vineyard is getting enough hands on deck, which is why it’s so helpful to have volunteers,” said Coastal Roots Food Forest and Vineyard Coordinator LyOr Rabinowiz. The Sangiovese, Syrah, and Viognier vines are going into their fourth year of growth at the vineyard and will be harvested in August and September. Each year, Rotary Clubs around the world identify a Rotary at Work Day hands-on project that all members can participate in to help their local community.

Cousins Greg Bishop and Elizabeth Fletcher Develop a Fun Children’s Book Series by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Soul of Photography

ousins Greg Bishop and Elizabeth Fletcher have a lot more in common than their family tree. About a year ago, the duo recognized their mutual passion for family and business, and so they decided to collaborate on a children’s book series. “I’ve wanted to illustrate a children’s book for a long time,” shared Greg. Elizabeth added, “I discovered that there was a big need in the children’s book market so I decided to pursue writing." Together, Greg and Elizabeth developed a book series that features a brave young elephant named Louie who overcomes his fears. “As a new mom, I started to realize how many transitional phases children go through in their early years,” Elizabeth noted. “These phases were often daunting and difficult and I wanted to make them fun while emphasizing the importance of being brave and trying new things.” Greg, who attended University of California, Davis, is a veterinarian at Coastal Animal Hospital in Leucadia. “I have practiced veterinary medicine in New York, Oregon, and San Diego,” shared Greg. “Last year, I had a scientific paper published about a rhino at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.” Greg has lived in Encinitas for two years with his wife Erin and two loveable dogs. “Greg loves Encinitas for its easy-going vibes, art, food, and proximity to the beach. “I love to surf, spend time in the water, draw and paint, read, walk the dogs with my wife, and travel,” he shared.

She and her husband Aaron have been living in Leucadia for about five years now, where they are raising daughter Madison, 5, son Owen, 3, and soon-to-be baby number three. “Watching them grow within this amazing community has been such a blessing,” said Elizabeth. In her downtime, Elizabeth enjoys hiking, running, traveling, reading, and spending time with family. Greg and Elizabeth are passionate about this new endeavor and excited for what the future holds. “Creating a character is so exciting,” said Greg. “My sketchbook is filled with little elephant drawings and it was amazing to see Louie take shape.” Elizabeth added, “My favorite thing about what I do is inspiring children. I believe that building confidence starts at a very young age and I want all children to know that they already have the strength and courage within, they just need to embrace it.” The cousins have completed two books in the series so far, with plans to publish more. “A Big Kid Bed is Coming is out now and we have our second book, I Can’t Eat this Stuff at the printing press as we speak. I’m currently writing our third book about potty training,” explained Elizabeth. “Having an idea and seeing it come to fruition is the most amazing feeling!” 

The Story of Sam Sam the Galapagos tortoise made his 92024 Magazine debut in May 2015 when he appeared on the cover with San Diego Botanic Garden President and CEO Julian Duval. Now, two years later, 92024 Magazine has followed up to see what Sam has been up to and what’s in store for him.

n March 29, San Diego Botanic Garden’s (SDBG) resident tortoise Sam celebrated his 53rd birthday in style. Around 60 friends, volunteers, staff, and family members gathered together in Sam’s yard to sing “Happy Birthday” and present him with his own birthday cake made of carrots, cactus, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and oranges – complete with a banana on top. Friends from the San Diego Zoo’s reptile house and San Diego Scale Company provided a scale to weigh the birthday boy – who weighed in at a whopping 568 pounds. Leading up to Sam’s weigh-in, SDBG held a contest inviting community members to guess Sam’s weight. “We gave away three grand prizes. No one submitted an exact guess, so we chose the three closest guesses,” shared Julian. “Each grand prize winner will have a private meeting with Sam and will receive a one-year family membership and a signed copy of Leslie Duval’s awardwinning book Too Big To Lose.”

Too Big To Lose, the true life story of Sam, has garnered first-time author Leslie Duval with a Moonbeam Children’s Book Award in the animal/pets category. The heartwarming tale recounts the love, loss, and serendipitous reunion of friends – her husband Julian Duval with his beloved Sam the tortoise – proving that some friendships are just “too big to lose.” More than 1,200 copies of the book have been sold so far, with 25 percent of proceeds going toward the future care of Sam, who could live another 100 to 150 years. Currently, Sam serves as a therapy animal for individuals with special needs, by appointment, and is not on public display. However, Sam is planning on making a special guest appearance at the upcoming Insect Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 22 and 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, each year SDBG auctions off a lunch with Sam as part of their annual Gala in the Garden, which will be held this year on Saturday, Sept. 9.

or Michelle Mullen, volunteering for the Girl Scouts is a fulfilling and empowering way to serve the local community. “I joined a friend to become co-leader of my oldest daughter’s Girl Scout troop when my daughter was in fourth grade, and I was hooked! I was able to support our troop and help the girls grow until they went off to college,” revealed Michelle. When she was a troop leader, she developed close relationships with the girls in her troop as they grew from first graders to 12th graders and led them on many adventures such as traveling locally, regionally, and internationally. Michelle also emphasized the importance of giving back through community service and mentoring. Currently, Michelle is the Encinitas service unit manager who, along with a team of leaders and volunteers, supports all the Girl Scout troops in Encinitas. The Encinitas Girl Scouts serves more than 500 girls, and as service unit manager, Michelle facilitates opportunities for Girl Scout leaders and volunteers to grow their own leadership skills and confidence. “I work with other volunteers to organize activities for our girls to take risks, to learn and to find a sense of belonging. My main goal is to help parents and other community members see our Girl Scout troops as a powerful way to grow girls who are leaders,” stated Michelle. She believes that Girl Scouts creates a space for volunteers to lead and mentor young women and provides girls with role models and guidance about how to make a difference in the community. “Girl Scouts also creates a community of girls – locally, regionally, and nationally – to support one another to be strong, to follow their passions and take risks, to lead with positive values, and to have fun,” related Michelle. Michelle has lived in Encinitas for 26 years and she, her husband, and two daughters enjoy living in a community that believes in the things they value most, including quality education, nurturing of the arts, physical and mental well-being, and care for the environment. She is the executive vice president of AVID Center, a national education nonprofit devoted to closing expectation, opportunity, and achievement gaps for students. “All of my volunteering, as well as my work, allows me to create opportunities for our kids to find and work to their potential, to appreciate who they are, and to extend themselves to others,” said this hard-working community volunteer. 

EASY AND STRESS-FREE DENTAL VISITS FOR YOUR KIDS! by Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics by SPENCER SPENCER MAUSETH, MAUSETH, D.D.S., D.D.S., 4S Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

As parents, we’re responsible for keeping our children safe and healthy. Sometimes this means tackling pretty difficult situations. Dental visits shouldn’t fall into this category, however. Here are a few tips on keeping visits to the dentist positive – and even fun! The earlier, the better. Take your child in for their first dental visit by their first birthday. Prevention-based dentistry will lead to a lifetime of easier dental visits. Keep it simple. Kids are curious about the world around them, including what happens

when they visit the dentist. Explain in terms that children will understand. “Counting teeth,” “making your teeth sparkle,” and “checking for sugar bugs” are all fun ways to explain what goes on during a dental visit. Practice at home. Reading books and setting aside some time to play “dentist” will do wonders for making your little one comfortable while at an actual dental appointment. Realistic expectations. For many children, the newness of the experience will cause some anxiety. Consistency and positive reinforcement go a long way toward alleviating fears. Choose your dentist wisely. The pediatric dentist you choose sets the tone for how your child views oral health care. Choose a dentist that is a good fit for both you and your child.

Be positive. How you approach dental visits will have a huge impact on how your child feels about going to the dentist. Working together, you and your child’s dentist can make a real difference in your child’s oral health, now and in the future!

Your child’s healthy, beautiful smile means everything to us! We Offer...

• Comprehensive Dental Care & Orthodontics • State of the Art Facility • Digital Radiology • Laser Treatment • Tooth-Colored Fillings • Sedation Two specialty practices under one roof for your convenience!

Improving the Community TROOP 777 BOY SCOUTS ACHIEVE EAGLE SCOUT RANK

our members of Encinitas’ Boy Scout Troop 777 were recently recognized for completing their Eagle Scout Projects and earning the Eagle Scout Rank, the highest achievement in Boy Scouts. The boys each completed projects in areas all over North County San Diego that allowed them to demonstrate leadership skills and benefit the community. They first contacted nonprofit organizations in the area to find out if a project was needed, then worked with their Scoutmaster and an Eagle Scout mentor to select their project. Parker Harelson, who attends Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) in Carmel Valley, built six eight-foot benches for his former middle school, Digueno Middle School in Encinitas. Caleb Leasure attends Maranatha Christian Schools in 4S Ranch and built a trail kiosk at the Paseo Encino Trailhead in Carlsbad. Walker Matthews, who also goes to CCA, constructed gates, fences,

and shelving for Rancho Coastal Humane Society in 92024. Ben Tecotzky attends San Dieguito Academy and built a split rail fence around the garden at his former elementary school, El Camino Creek Elementary School in Carlsbad. Parker, Caleb, Walker, and Ben were honored in a special ceremony at the Encinitas Community Library, which included an award pinning, reflections on their individual projects, presentation of mentor pins, a presentation by Encinitas Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, and a reception. Troop 777 prides itself on being a high adventure troop focused on leadership, self-reliance, self-esteem, and recognition, which are accomplished though high adventure outings, community involvement, and rank advancement. Troop 777 members live in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Cardiff, and Rancho Santa Fe. ¢
