:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Vol. 2, No. 5 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.

Operation Christmas Child by MICHELLE TREMBLAY

f you are looking to “give back” this holiday season, there is an organization just for you. Samaritan’s Purse, a national Christian organization, is making it their mission to not only bring joy to impoverished children all around the world, but to also enrich their lives by spreading the word of God. With the help of donations, this group sends shoeboxes to needy children filled with such items as toys, clothing, toiletries, and school supplies. Also, in an effort to bring faith into these children’s lives, every shoebox includes an educational book on Christianity that introduces the child to a discipleship program. This project is called “Operation Christmas Child,” and now, through its San Diego chapter, you too can give the gifts of joy, hope and faith to an impoverished child. Esperanza (Itzy) Haumschilt, the lead for San Diego’s Operation Christmas Child and a teacher at Valley Elementary School, explained how she became involved with the charity: “I have been packing (shoeboxes) for many years with my own children and with my students. I always love the joy of giving to a child and my best experience was when I went to the processing center in Orange County to witness the love of God through thousands and thousands of boxes,” said Itzy. “Every single one was unique and special. Tears came to my

16 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2012

eyes just to imagine little girls and boys in some of the most difficult situations. I became a year round volunteer and then the area coordinator for the best team in the world – North San Diego.” Like Itzy, anyone can become involved with the project either through volunteering or by donating a shoebox (along with $7 to cover shipping costs). “You can be a part of this amazing and simple project,” said Itzy. “It feels good to give. It’s truly a blessing to know that darkness turns into light for all these children with a simple shoebox full of hope and love. Get together with your family, church, or school and be a part of the most rewarding experience you will ever have.” With your donation, you will have the option to track your shoebox to its destination, and some lucky donors may even get to know the child to whom the box was delivered. “You may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family and if you enclose your name and address the child may even write back,” explained Itzy. National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child is November 12 -19, 2012, and the “drop off” centers are located throughout the county. For more information on getting involved or to find your nearest drop off center, please visit: www.samaritanspurse.org. ¢

Dolores Canizales Brings Experience, Drive, and Vision to Poway by wynne love | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

A. Dolores Canizales Gatewood Hills, Rancho Bernardo 2010 San Francisco President and CEO, Poway Chamber of Commerce

18 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2012

riginally from San Francisco, Dolores Canizales loves her “city by the bay” and her 49ers, but in 2010, she made San Diego her home and is thrilled with what she found. “The people in this community are great and have such a strong sense of community spirit,” said Dolores. “Everyone is so friendly and people genuinely care about each other.” That’s why Dolores decided to put her extensive skills to use as President and CEO of the Poway Chamber of Commerce. In addition to a BA in public relations from San Jose State University and a certificate from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Dolores worked for LA Mayor Richard Riordan, at Loyola Marymount University as Director of Government and Community Relations, and ran both Chambers of Commerce in Florida and one in Los Angeles. Canizales was the unanimous top choice of the Poway Chamber Board, according to their recent press release. As Dolores put it, “The Chamber position offers me an opportunity to use all of my past experience to create positive changes within the business community. There is never a dull moment in Chamber work.” Dolores’s singular focus is to “motivate volunteers and grow the organization,” a task she expects will be both her greatest challenge and greatest reward. “My immediate goals are to increase membership by providing new services and benefits for our members, motivate members to become involved in the organization, and work with the board of directors to develop a program of work for the remainder of the fiscal year,” Dolores explained. Now living in the Gatewood Hills community of Rancho Bernardo, Dolores and her husband watched proudly as their son, Alex, joined the football team and began his studies at RB High this fall. They have enjoyed showing off their new community to friends and family as well. “Anytime anyone comes to visit, the first place we head to is the Hamburger Factory for a meal followed by a walk through Old Poway Park and a visit to the museum,” described Dolores. Dolores’s ultimate hope is to “transform the Chamber into a more vibrant and relevant business association that will provide services and benefits to local businesses, and to serve as the voice of business in Poway and the region.” ¢

Poway Titans, and his goals are for the team to go undefeated, win CIF, and have a shot at winning a state title. He feels this year’s team has a chance to do even better than last year’s team if they pay attention to some small details. “We have all the pieces here, “remarked Derek, “we just have to execute.”

A Titan in school:

Math is Derek’s favorite subject because he likes working with numbers and it makes sense to him, but what ultimately makes sense and motivates him is a desire to thrive and accomplish a multitude of goals. This is what he likes most about Poway High School, “The drive to succeed is what inspires me,” commented Derek. “We are a school that expects success. Whether it’s in the classroom or in extracurricular activities, success is expected if you’re a Poway Titan.”

A Titan in his future:

That expectation is what encourages Derek Babiash. “I want to be successful in life no matter what I do and I think that’s what inspires me to keep going when I feel knocked down,” If his dream of becoming a professional football player doesn’t come to fruition, instead of feeling “knocked down” he still plans to do something that relates to football. “It’s a sport I don’t think I can get away from,” Derek mused. Regardless of the final outcome, Derek Babiash will be a Titan in his life and in 92064. ¢

Helping Senior Veterans, their Spouses and Families Get the Benefits they’ve Earned by KATHY LOY

s we age, it can be frustrating to forget where you placed your eye glasses or what was on your grocery list that you left in the car, but imagine the difficulty many senior-aged veterans have trying to obtain benefits while navigating the maze that is also called “the VA.” The saving grace for many veterans, their surviving spouses, and their families is Veteran’s Friend, a community service cofounded by Robert Dhillon and Kate Seelye. “Our call-to-duty and pledge is to help veteran families navigate the VA process correctly, protect themselves, and obtain this tax-free lifetime benefit by providing free assistance in the preparation and presentation of their claim before the VA,” explained Robert. “Like any other large government department, the VA is complex and bureaucratic. Its rules, regulations, forms and procedures can be very confusing and daunting at times, especially for seniors,” said Robert. Veteran’s Friend will listen first, then provide simple, honest answers to folks who are worried about the rising cost of long term care that is often needed by seniors. Robert and Kate are uniquely qualified to help veterans deal with the issues they face in obtaining these VA benefits. Robert, now a VA accredited claims representative, served in the US Navy and Department of Defense, and graduated from London University with a degree in Education. Later, he spent 25 years consulting for the armed forces and large international banks. Kate, now in Senior Precision Support, has lived in the San Diego area

22 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2012

for over 50 years and has worked in the financial services industry for over 20, while also running a small alternative holistic health practice. “We understand how stressful it can be for families of veterans, often in crisis or planning for long term care for aging parents. We provide precision answers, support, legal representation and guidance through the VA’s eligibility and application maze,” said Robert. Besides helping with their benefits, Veteran’s Friend also works to warn and guard senior veterans and widows against elder abuse practices of unscrupulous financial services companies that prey on this group of citizens. They host local events and breakfasts to bring young service men and women and older veterans together to provide education in estate and retirement planning, college education planning and long term care. If you or someone you know may need their help, give Robert or Kate a call or visit the Veteran’s Friend website. ¢

hris and Margot Morpeth moved to Poway in 1986 seeking a quiet place to live and raise their future family. What they found was a community that is supportive and welcoming to all types of families. “The school district is excellent, especially for special education. There is wonderful community support for families with special needs,” related Margot, whose youngest son, Max, is a young adult with special needs. Margot, her husband Chris, and oldest son, Jason, volunteer wherever there is a need within the special needs community. Jason, a senior at UCSD, started the Best Buddies program at Poway High. This program pairs up a student with special needs and a typically developing peer to attend school activities together. Margot is currently the Challenged Division coordinator for the Poway Youth Basketball League and is an active member of Parent Advocates Seeking Solutions (P.A.S.S.), a one-of-a-kind group for parents of young adults with special needs. She was also instrumental in setting up the Teens in Motion program for the district. “The program provides after school care for special needs teens,” explained Margot. “Max attends the program every day after school.” Max, who is in a Transition program at Abraxas High for students with disabilities, is also extremely involved in the community. Every week he bowls at Poway Fun Bowl with more than 50 other young adults with special needs. “Max

participates in Special Olympics track & field and soccer and recently finished a summer exercise class called iMade, a program started by Poway High graduate, Mackenzie Harrington,” stated Margot. The family enjoys eating out together, especially at The Hamburger Factory. According to Margot, the local restaurant is a great supporter of special needs groups. In fact, Max and his high school classmates are frequent customers, learning how to order, eat and pay for meals in a comfortable setting. The Morpeth family also takes full advantage of the natural beauty of Poway and the surrounding region. They love camping and hiking around Lake Poway and up to Mount Woodson. Bike riding also holds a special place within the hearts of Chris, Margot, Jason and Max. “Max learned to ride a bike at the age of 14. A few months later, Jason and Max rode a tandem bike for a Best Buddies fundraiser at Hearst Castle,” revealed Margot. The pair rode alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver in the 15-mile event. ¢

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.

Jewish Family Service Girls Give Back Empowers Teens Through the Arts

In mid-June, Hannah Kaye, a Poway High School student, participated in the week-long Girls Give Back “Crafting Social Change” program, learning how to give back to the community through the arts. Girls Give Back, a program of Jewish Family Service empowers teens to become the next generation of female leaders. Participants hone their leadership skills through the planning and execution of service projects. Teens filled their own 16 x 20 shadow box with the 3D art, poetry, photography, creative writing, oil pastels and collages they created over the course of the week. The result is an incredible visual representation of specific community problems plaguing San Diego and teen-identified solutions for each. Some of the topics addressed include teen dating violence, girls and body image, budget cuts to education, animal rights, recycling, children and war, bullying, and Israel advocacy. For information on Girls Give Back, visit www.jfssd.org/girlsgiveback.

Poway Heads Honduras Grant

The Rotary Club of Poway is partnering with a dozen other Rotary Clubs in the US and Honduras to fund $47,250 in microloans and business training for extremely poor women in Honduras. The Poway Club led the microloan effort which attracted donations from other Rotary Clubs in California, Illinois, Washington and Honduras. The San Diego and Cupertino Rotary Districts matched their Clubs’ donations and The Rotary Foundation, in Chicago, just announced that it will add $20,250 toward the effort. Of the total, $6,500 is for business training and $40,750 to fund business startup loans as small as $50. With these modest loans, the women can start a chicken or goat business, open a small grocery store in their homes, or sell produce and handmade goods at weekly markets. Profits are used to buy adequate food for their families, send their children to school, and improve their homes. Poway Rotary Club President, Alan Noblitt, said “The beauty of this project is that it’s not a handout. The women repay their loans over sixmonths and then can apply for a second loan, or that repaid money will be reissued to another woman. In this way, our funding will continue to start businesses long after the grant has ended.” Typically, the Lenca women have better than a 96% loan repayment rate. The San Diego Rotary Clubs contributing to this effort are Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, Encinitas, La Jolla (Sunrise), and Escondido. In addition, the District-wide Mobilizing Rotary for Microcredit Committee was instrumental in building support for this project, which began September 1.

Poway’s Rachel Labadie Earns Girl Scout Gold Award

Poway High School graduate Rachel Labadie recently received the Gold Award, Girl Scouts’ highest honor, for her community service project, “Health for the Homeless.” To earn her Gold Award project, Rachel educated needy indivduals about basic first aid and let them know where they could go for free medical attention. Inspired by her experiences with the organization Feed the Need, where she saw many homeless individuals with infected cuts and scrapes, she created hygiene kits containing medical supplies and step-by-step first aid brochures. She also held a workshop where she educated fellow Girl Scouts about issues faced by the homeless. Rachel was a member of Girl Scout Troop 8677 for five years. She just completed her first year at California State University San Marcos, where she is majoring in liberal studies with a focus in education. She was on the dean’s list both semesters of her freshman year. Rachel was one of 60 local Girl Scouts who received their Gold Award in a recent ceremony at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall. The Gold Award is presented to only 5.4 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide. To earn this award, girls spend two to three years developing and implementing community service projects that make their world a better place.

Tournament of the Phoenix

The Tournament of the Phoenix™ is a two day, six event sports contest, the original ‘extreme’ sport. The only event of its kind in the U.S., it is one of the most prestigious events in the world. It is invitational, and only the most highly skilled competitors are invited to compete for the coveted Phoenix prize. The 2012 Tournament of the Phoenix will take place in Poway from Oct. 26 – 28. Six knights will compete, hailing from the U.S., England, Canada and France, accumulating points as they battle it out in a series of grueling events. An equestrian triathlon, the tournament will test the combatants’ prowess and stamina as they pit themselves against each other in six events over the two day competition. Events include foot combat with axes, mounted melee, and four sessions of jousting. The popular Festival of History complements the Tournament, providing a host of activities for all ages and interests. Costumed interpreters inhabit fully outfitted period camps spanning Rome to the Renaissance. With live music, demonstrations from blacksmithing and falconry to glass blowing and gladiator combat, this event provides fun, food and excitement for all that should not be missed.

Carols by Candlelight

Carols by Candlelight celebrates its 23rd year of bringing Christmas cheer to San Diego with their 2012 star-filled lineup. Performers hit the stage on Dec. 7 – 8 at the California Center for the Arts. Creator, Steve Vaus (aka Buck Howdy) explained the event’s atmosphere as a “warm, fuzzy, goosebump experience,” and remarked that people leaving are often heard talking about being filled with Christmas spirit. The intimate setting after the performance is the highlight of the night for most people – attendees and stars alike gather in the courtyard, light candles and sing “Silent Night” a capella. This year the show will feature singer, songwriter and classic performer B.J. Thomas, American country music singer Collin Raye, Christian-country female vocalist Mary James, country-rock sensation Eve Selis, and awardwinning cowboy singer of western music Buck Howdy. All four will light up the stage with Christmas carols and their own hardest hitters. Proceeds benefit Rady Children’s Hospital. Steve explained that there’s nothing better than giving, “the gift of hope to kids in desperate circumstances.” For more information visit starsconcert.com.

:::: IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Affordable Health Care What if you could see your doctor for only $40 per visit? Jill Cottel, M.D., a doctor of internal medicine and integrative holistic medicine who has been practicing in Poway for over twelve years, is introducing a new plan called the Health Savings Program (HSP). For a monthly retainer of $19, enrolled patients pay just $40 per visit. There are no hidden fees, and insurance is not required. The $40 office visit fee is the same for each visit including the complete annual physical.

Helping those in need. “It’s very satisfying to help someone directly when they are in need,” Dr. Cottel says. “This program allows patients to be seen more often and I believe that keeps them healthier.” Dr. Cottel’s style of care places emphasis upon keeping patients well and places a high value on the doctor patient relationship. She believes you must treat the whole person and she is committed to providing the excellence in care that such an idea requires. A Personal Inspiration. Dr. Cottel also believes that every patient is valuable because each one was created in the image of God. This inspires her to always strive for the best care possible for each patient.

You are unexpectedly sick, but you don’t have insurance. You can’t afford the walk-in clinic up the street, let alone the fee at the urgent care.

You have insurance but it’s at a clinic. You are tired of feeling like just another number. You would really like to have your own personal physician, who you know and trust, in a cozy office that makes you feel special.

You have insurance but it’s a plan with a high deductible. You know you should be seeing a doctor regularly, but you aren’t because everything is out of pocket until you hit the deductible. The last thing you need right now is another doctor bill.

What if there was a solution that could solve all of these problems at the same time? What if it were that simple?

You have changed insurance plans in the last two years. Just when you begin to build a relationship with a new doctor, you have to switch again and you want continuity of care.

A Rare Find! I feel fortunate... “I was recommended to Dr. Cottel by a trusted friend. It was the best recommendation I’ve ever received.”

The heroes involved are actively dedicating their time to promote patriotism, remember the sacrifice, honor the dead, help the living and provide community service. We were honored to sit down with members of the Post [on-site] to learn about their service history, what their passions are and how the Post is directly reflective of Poway and the wonderful citizenry the 92064 community exudes. Post Commander, Richard Miller and Ladies Auxiliary President, Lisa Dumolt discuss the genuine camaraderie of the members and the many programs the Post delivers to the community and community at large with the goal of supporting our veterans, schools, scouts, law enforcement and educators. It is evident, after learning about Post 7907, the group carries on a rich tradition of enhancing the lives of others through their continued service. Many thanks!

92064: What sets Post 7907 apart from other posts in the District? Miller: Beyond the fact that we own the property and building we occupy on Old Pomerado Rd. – Nothing.

92064: It is clear that the members of the Post spend time socially together. What do the members do for fun? Miller: Camping, RVing, bus tours, BBQ’s, motorcycle trips (once a year to D.C.) horseshoe tournaments, and cook outs.

92064: Where do you see the Post in five years? Miller: With the economy and political environment as it is today, it is impossible to predict the next year or two.

92064: What is the history behind VFW as a whole? Miller: The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States traces its roots back to 1899. That year, Veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service. In Columbus, Ohio, they founded the American Veterans of Foreign Service. In Denver Co., they organized the Colorado Society, Army of the Philippines. In 1901, Philippine Veterans in Altoona and Pittsburgh, Penn., started the Philippine War Veterans. The following year, Philadelphia, Penn., became the home of the American Veterans of the Philippine and China Wars. In 1905, these three groups merged with the American Veterans of Foreign Service.

Visual Photography only receives monies when families choose to purchase senior portraits.” In thanks, Stacey and Daniel have made a point of giving back, creating the Fraternity of Academic and Civic Excellence, or F.A.C.E. program, in which they gift an additional photo session to each of the 30 seniors with the highest GPAs from all five PUSD high schools. “In 1998, we created F.A.C.E. as a cornerstone of our long-standing mission statement,” described Stacey. “We have always believed in corporate responsibility and contributing back to an amazingly supportive community that has

sustained our small, family-owned studio for over twenty-five years.” The F.A.C.E. program does just that, providing a keepsake for each student and showcasing their photo along with a description of their accomplishments on the website, faceseniors.com. “The F.A.C.E. honor is instant recognition for high academic achievement in high school,” explained Stacey.

“It has become a prestigious community recognition that many students strive to achieve.” That’s why ZCode Magazines and Visual Photography are thrilled to be joining forces to give these seniors even wider recognition, featuring their photographs in their local zip code magazine. “Highlighting the approximate one hundred and fifty F.A.C.E. honorees split between four of the ZCode Media publications is the perfect marriage of worthy news and positive media attention,” said Stacey. ZCode Magazines agree. After nearly five years of celebrating the best in our communities, they are delighted to add these accomplished seniors to the pages of their magazines. “It’s an honor to play a part in the recognition these outstanding young citizens have earned,” shared Stacey. “Getting to know some of our future leaders is very humbling.” ¢

Hyped Up for Homecoming!

ow that the school year has begun, students have had the chance to get used to their class schedules, workload, and teachers. With so much to learn, the beginning of the year can be a stressful time for students, but one thing that still creates excitement is the Homecoming Dance, which was announced at the back to school assembly. The dance, scheduled for Saturday, October 13, will follow the Homecoming parade and football game. Students agree that these are definitely some of the main highlights of the school year. The PHS Homecoming Parade is held on Titan Way, during school hours, and is quite the event. The normal school schedule is set aside so that students can leave class with their teachers and fight to find a good spot to watch as floats and sport teams go by. Those in a varsity sport get the opportunity to walk in the

parade with their teammates, waving to friends on the side of the street. Eventually the class floats ride by, and students and teachers get their first look at the heavily decorated floats. Personally, the parade is my favorite part! Many students participate in the float construction, working hard to ensure their class float is the best. For the rest of us, it’s always a thrill to anticipate how the class floats will look each year, and the spectators are always extremely excited and cheerful. The parade really gets students in the mood for Homecoming! Students often get decked out in green to support the Poway High football team. The stands are packed with students and family members as the football team fights their way to victory. Jessy Pellegrino, a junior at Poway High, said her favorite experience is the Homecoming football game. “It’s always against a major rival team, so everyone goes out and shows their support,” Jessy explained. “We’re always extremely loud!”

Nov 23 – Dec 23, 2012

The team has had good luck with the Homecoming game, consistently coming out on top. Andrew Hunter, also a junior, is on the PHS football team. “I am hoping to see our varsity win big,” said Andrew, “and I’m looking forward to the half-time events.” That’s when the King, Queen, Prince, and Princess of the Homecoming Court are announced. Each of these events leads up to the long-awaited Homecoming dance, and some students have spent their entire lunch period in line waiting to buy a ticket. Although the dance is chaperoned and students are kept safe, they are also able to have fun and hang out with friends in a fun and unique environment. The atmosphere surrounding the dance is upbeat and exciting, and the PHS student body will buzz with anticipation until October 13 arrives. ¢ K.C. Longley is a senior at Poway High School. She is participating in an internship program with 92064 Magazine and can be contacted at info@92064magazine.com.

Ignis Salon: a One Shop Complete Beauty Deal

tylists at Ignis Salon care for their clients as if they were family members, making the environment so comfortable that both clients and stylists feel compelled to return routinely, many for the last fifteen years. The stylists and clients develop a personal relationship that allows them to truly communicate, which results in stylists knowing exactly what clients want and clients exiting the salon feeling beautiful. Owners Anousheh Motamedi and Nadi Dadsetan along with the eleven amazing experts who work at Ignis, located on Poway Road between Oak Knoll Road and Pomerado Road, want customers to look and feel fantastic. They explain, “Feeling fantastic requires a harmony between external parts of a person like hair style and makeup and the internal part of the person which has to do with self-perception.” Anousheh and Nadi understand their client’s

needs and realize that those looking for a new stylist or hair salon sometimes find it difficult to try something new. As a result, they have an Ignis guarantee: You’ll love it, or it’s free. After a first visit, staff members follow up with their clients, and to date, no one has ever asked for a refund. One of Anousheh’s clients affirmed, “Her cuts work with my hair texture. My search for years for the right hairdresser is over.” Those planning to attend Name of Business: a prom or Owner/Manager: a wedding need Since : only visit Ignis Address: Salon Studios since it is a Website: complete salon, Email contact: offering a wide Phone: range of additional

services including manicures, pedicures, facials, derma abrasion, make-up application, and whole face threading—the gentle, ancient art of hair removal. Free trials and great package prices for bridal parties are available. Originally living and training in Europe, Anousheh styled models’ hair for runway shows. After she and Nadi met at church and decided to purchase a hair salon, she drew from her international experience to enhance her salon. Discovering that many of the young stylists exiting beauty schools in San Diego needed more technical support and information, she implemented an on the job training program that covers cuts, color, and product knowledge for her own stylists. Anousheh and Nadi also feel it is important to be patrons to their community, often rallying other businesses and the community to advocate for locals causes. Last year, the Ignis team was able to raise funds for the Help Patrick Walk with the outpouring of support from the community. Stylists also visited a women’s shelter in Escondido to provide hair services while boosting morale for residents. Essentially, Anousheh and Nadi touch client and community member’s hearts. ¢

hile the weather in North County may say summer, the apple trees in Julian are whistling fall, and the u-pick orchards are in full swing. Head east on Highway 78 for about an hour, and you’ll find yourself in the mountain town of Julian, an official California Historical Landmark. The clear, crisp mountain air supports the apple crop and this year, the yield is high. “The apple trees are completely full,” said Arnie of Apple Starr Orchards. He began welcoming apple pickers the first week of September and expects to host more through the end of October. He grows five varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, and Red Delicious. Just a handful of Julian orchards still welcome apple pickers, for a fee. Most are open daily, but be sure to call ahead and make an appointment. Since the owners are busy tending the crop, they are not always available,

Apples and Art Orchards provides apple picking with a tour of the orchard for groups of ten or more as well as the opportunity to make and taste fresh cider from their pesticide-free apples. Raven Hill Orchard also welcomes pickers to their 8,000 acre orchard where you’re likely to see some of owner Patrick Brady’s unique sculptures as well. Can’t get enough apple fun? The Julian Apple Days Festival will be held at the Menghini Winery the weekend of October 6-7. Appled out? The Julian Mining Company doesn’t offer apple-picking, but they do invite you to choose a pumpkin out of the patch and participate in a wide variety of kid-friendly activities like hayrides, panning for gold, and candle dipping, to name a few.

Calvin Coseo Earns Honor from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

Full Circle

alvin Coseo grew up playing sports through the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego and is now giving back as a board member for the organization. He was recently awarded the Rookie of the Year Award for his volunteer efforts, an honor he feels has brought him full circle with the Boys & Girls Club. “My entire family has always been a part of the club in some way or another. I started volunteering in high school mentoring kids in the after school program by helping them with their homework, playing games and most importantly, I was there to simply talk and listen,” said Calvin. After college, Calvin was the assistant coach for a fifth and sixth grade co-ed basketball team. Shortly thereafter, he became a member of the board and has served on the Kash for Kids Golf Classic committee for the past two years. “Being on the board today and seeing what makes [the Boys & Girls Club] successful is very rewarding in and of itself. Being recognized for my time and hard work makes it even more fulfilling and purposeful,” related Calvin. For Calvin, the club is a place he has always felt at home. He hopes that through the work of the board and other volunteers, the Boys & Girls Club will continue to welcome all children of any socio-economic status at any time. Calvin, who is vice president of investor relations for Coseo Properties, graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from California State University, Chico. Although he spent most of his time during college in northern California, he knew he wanted to return to his San Diego roots. “I was born and raised in Escondido. I like living in the San Diego area because of the weather, great terrain and the people,” explained Calvin. In his spare time, Calvin enjoys playing golf, hiking, gardening, cooking and spending time with his family. “I have three beautiful sisters—Kayla, Lydia and Charlotte. I feel incredibly lucky to have been raised by my parents, Brenda and Chris. They are extremely down-to-earth and true philanthropists,” declared Calvin. Calvin is proud to state that his parents are still involved with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego and are a big reason for his dedication and commitment to the organization. ¢ Name: Age: Community: Volunteer Affiliation: Occupation:

Don’t Let Allergies & Asthma Add to Halloween Fright

hile vampires, witches, ghosts and ghouls haunt us all on Halloween, children with food allergies, allergic rhinitis and asthma also need to beware of the triggers that lurk in candy, costumes, makeup and decorations that may cause a reaction to spoil spooky fun. Board certified allergist Dr. Kusum Sharma of AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine, a member of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) suggests the following tips to keep little goblins with allergic conditions safe this Halloween: Keep an eye on “fun size” treats – Even if a full-sized treat is allergen free candy, don’t assume their “fun size” counterpart is safe too. These mini-candies can contain different ingredients or might be made at a facility where allergens are present. Unmask allergens in costumes, makeup and decorations – Masks and costumes may contain latex and other common allergens so be sure to read their labels. Makeup, hair dyes and decorations can include irritants that trigger asthma, cause a delayed itchy allergic reaction called contact dermatitis, or make existing atopic dermatitis (eczema) worse. Be sure your child totes more than a candy bag – If your goblin has asthma or a lifethreatening allergy, don’t start trick or treating without packing emergency medicines such as quick-relief inhalers or injectable epinephrine in case of a severe reaction. Scare asthma away – Masks can interfere with breathing, so children with asthma should opt for a half mask or no mask at all. Also keep in mind that cold weather, running from house to house for candy and allergens such as mold spores hiding in piles of leaves can flare up asthma. Control consumption – Feed your goblins before they go trick or treating so they are less tempted to snack on potentially problematic candy. When you’re back home, trade allergen-free candy you’ve purchased for the candy they’ve collected. Make your home the haunted house – Consider forgoing trick or treating altogether and invite your child’s friends for a party, where you can control the food and offer fun activities. “When people think of Halloween-associated allergies, they focus on candy and often overlook many other potential triggers,” said Dr. Kusum Sharma. “By planning ahead, you can ensure not only safe treats, but also safe costumes, make up, accessories, and decorations.” Visit www.AKANEinstitute.com to take a Relief Self-Test for you or your child and learn more about allergies and asthma. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS

Clocking In

A Timely Checklist for Keeping your Household Ticking this Fall by WYNNE LOVE

e all remember (most of the time, anyway) to set our clocks back at the close of daylight savings. This year, we’ll fall back on the evening of November 3, and many of us will use the event as a reminder

1. 3. 5. 7.

for important household maintenance items, like changing the batteries in our smoke detectors. Here, a list of other recommended updates you might want to consider adding to that list. ¢

Perfect Timing: As you change the clocks, make it a habit to change the timer on your home thermostat, as well as your television sets, digital recorders, sprinkler system, outdoor lighting, and other items on a timer.

Refreshed: Fall is a great time to change your home’s air filters, as you’ll be spending more time indoors throughout the winter. While you’re at it, replace fridge filters, furnace filters, the filter on the hood of your kitchen range, and check dryer vents.

Fired Up: It’s a good idea to inspect and clean your fireplace and chimney and check duct work.

Inventoried: If you didn’t do it last year, make this the year you videotape your home to catalog your possessions and make a clear inventory of items you would claim in the event of loss or damage.

2. 4. 6. 8.

Recharged: Check to make sure you have fresh batteries in everything you’d need in an emergency, including smoke detectors, flashlights, and radios.

Up-to-date: As you head into cold and flu season, it’s wise to clear out medicine cabinets and check the expiration dates of the medicines you keep. Expired? Dispose of them safely by following the FDA guidelines or bring them to one of the next San Diego County Sheriff Department’s Prescription Drug Take-Back programs.

Out Back: Aerating your lawn can keep it looking healthier and experts recommend doing so once a year. Use this time to check sprinkler heads and irrigation lines as well.

Defrosted: That extra hour of sleep might give you the energy to clean out your freezer and defrost it, if necessary, and even clean that oven.

Now that your house is in order, you can rest easy and wake refreshed to the morning that will greet you a little earlier tomorrow.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

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. ¢
