‘Tis the Season of Family Traditions

P U B L I S HE R

Derrick Breaux V P O F O P E R AT I O NS

Jessica Breaux D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT

Melodie Ortiz Nungesser

omewhere along the way, I got the reputation in my family as being somewhat of a bah humbug during the holidays. My wife and children are quick to point out my lack of interest in holiday decorating and gift wrapping. But the reality is that I absolutely love the holidays – especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. And even though I may act like hunting for that perfect tree does not interest me, it’s just an act (but I think my family may be on to me since I really love everything about it). So, I’ll have to continue complaining a little in order to keep up the façade. The fact is that I love the tradition that the holidays bring. I love the buildup, the preparation, and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays. Life can bring a lot of changes, but one thing that has been important to my wife and me is continuing the family tradition. And having everyone together warms our hearts. Whether it is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any of the other holidays that we celebrate, everyone in the family knows where we are going to be and who will be there. They look forward to it, and they expect it. As crazy as it sounds, we know what food will be served and who will prepare each dish (for each holiday). It works this Derrick Breaux way. It’s our family tradition. And although Southern Publisher California winter holidays may entail swimsuits and sunscreen instead of bulky coats, I wouldn’t change a thing – nor would they. So, if you hear me whining about decorating the Christmas tree or hanging lights around the house, just know that it’s all part of an act (sort of my own unconventional tradition). But let’s be sure to keep this as our little secret. I don’t want my wife and kids to know that I’m really a softy when it comes to the holidays. If they knew the truth, I’d have to do a lot more decorating and wear one of those silly holiday hats (sorry, that’s not gonna happen!).

Happy holidays to all, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

my Wigley, a freshman at Rancho Bernardo High School, has only lived in the Poway Royal Estates community for a year, but has already made an impact. She not only runs with her JV cross country team and sings in the Advanced Women’s Ensemble, but is also perfecting her leadership skills. Her eighth grade leadership teacher even nominated her to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference, which was held in July in Washington, D.C. and is considered the premier leadership development program for middle school students. Attending the week-long conference was incredibly aweinspiring for Amy. She exclaimed, “I had the most amazing experience, and the Junior National Young Leaders Conference changed me into being a better person. Our small-group time was definitely one of the best parts of the trip, where we were challenged to take on big leadership roles to the best of our ability, and make decisions that were very hard to make.” Putting her civic-minded thoughtfulness to good use, Amy works towards improving her local community. To date, Amy has done beach and park cleanups, volunteered at the Feeding America food banks, filled up care boxes for the homeless, and gift-

wrapped Christmas presents for impoverished children. Happy with the opportunities, Amy said, “I love helping out and being a leader.” Amy is especially grateful for her high school, admitting, “I love the motivation I receive from my teachers and how they all care.” Her favorite subject is math, and Amy added, “Math is my strength, and it gives me a chance to go on my own and use what I know.” Amy hopes to eventually get her master’s degree in education and become an elementary school teacher. Realizing that it takes a village to create change for the better, Amy wants to give shout-outs to those who have assisted her in her successful path. She commented, “I would like to thank Adrienne Wells Homes Foundation, Jean Loo Russo with Elizabeth Hospice and many family and friends for helping me attend the conference. A special thank you goes to my parents, my leadership teacher, Mr. David Herrick, Jon Shea of Shea Realty, and Marc Nimetz of Farmers Insurance for being my mentors and continuously supporting me with everything I do.” 

School Garden Recognized

ABRAXAS HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES GARDEN CLUB AWARDS

braxas High School’s garden recently won a number of awards recognizing the hard work and outstanding results by students, staff, and community volunteers. Poway Valley Garden Club (PVGC) nominated the garden for recognition by the Palomar District of the California Garden Club, Inc. (CGCI), and the garden won the first place CGCI Community Impact Award. At the national level, the Abraxas School Garden then won first place awards for Community Beautification and the Kellogg Civic Achievement Award. The Abraxas School Garden was born in 2015, when Abraxas teachers Bob Lutticken and Robert Saxton decided to find a better purpose for the underused tennis courts on campus. The years following have seen a remarkable transformation at the Pomerado Rd. site, with students playing an active role. “The Construction and Agriculture staff and students designed and built the garden, structures, irrigation, aquaponics and raised beds, filtering systems, and a 15-square-foot

Tilapia in-ground pond,” explained Marcia Clingman, PVGC Publicity Chair. “Economics and English students work on grants, business models, and managing the website for the gardens.” The students are part of the PVGC Youth Garden Club, and several PVGC members regularly volunteer at the garden. They’re all dedicated to making a difference at Abraxas and beyond. “In 2017, Abraxas donated over 2,700 pounds of fresh produce to a local food bank,” Marcia said. “They are creating new garden innovations, expanding the garden to include a small grove of fruit trees, test marketing their produce, and landscaping areas on the school grounds.” Abraxas High School is a continuation high school providing a personal, supportive environment for students at risk of not receiving a high school diploma. Learn more about the garden at www.abraxasgarden.com. 

HIP REPLACEMENT GIVES PAMPLEMOUSSE CHEF MORE TIME IN THE KITCHEN

uilding one of San Diego’s most successful restaurants took a lot of hard work and skill but also took its toll on Pamplemousse Grille owner and executive chef Jeffrey Strauss. “Being on my feet 12 to 15 hours a day… it finally caught up with me,” Strauss said as he walked the same kitchen floor he’s walked the past 21 years. Last June, Strauss finally relented to the bone-on-bone pain in his leg and had hip replacement surgery at Palomar Medical Center Poway, the second busiest joint replacement hospital in California. As a celebrity chef, Strauss had his pick of hospitals and physicians but he chose the nationally recognized Orthopedic and Spine Center at Palomar Medical Center Poway and Dr. Brad Cohen. The hip replacement surgery lasted one hour and consisted of placing a metal rod inside the femur and connecting it to a ceramic ball and cup placed inside the hip capsule. Within two hours after surgery, the medical team at Palomar Medical Center Poway had Strauss up and walking. “After surgery, you are kind of loopy so I was shocked when they came into my room and said, ‘let’s go for a walk.’” Strauss said. Getting patients up and walking is part of Palomar Health’s pain management program that aims to reduce medications (especially opiates), speed recovery,

and reduce pain. In fact, the Orthopedic and Spine Center has one of the highest patient satisfaction scores in the nation for pain management. Strauss was out of the hospital the following day and back to work in less than three weeks. Within ﬁve months of surgery Strauss was catering one of the largest horse races in the world, the Breeder’s Cup, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, across the street from Pamplemousse, and walking 25 ﬂights of stairs. He’s already preparing to have his other hip replaced sometime soon. 

Character Counts

LOCAL RESIDENT CROWNED MRS. CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL photos by Kristi and Paul Wolverton, Picture This

ancho Peñasquitos resident Jocelyn Soriano Lomahan was recently crowned Mrs. California International 2019. As a platformfocused competition, the Mrs. California International Pageant’s overall scoring is based upon contestants’ knowledge and involvement of a chosen charitable cause. At this year’s pageant in Bakersfield, contestants showed their skills in three categories: interview, fitness-wear, and evening gown. Jocelyn was awarded the 2019 crown with her platform Character Counts. Throughout her reign as Mrs. California International, Jocelyn will concentrate on volunteerism and bringing awareness to this platform, which focuses its efforts on encouraging our youth to live with ethics and morality through the six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship.

“I am honored to be chosen as Mrs. California International 2019,” Jocelyn shared. “My focus will continue to be my platform, Character Counts. My family and I live by the six pillars of character in our daily lives. In my profession as a realtor, as a faith-based woman, as a devoted wife and mother of two teenage girls who play sports, I live and breathe these characteristics.” She’s extremely involved in her community, in the Silayan Filipina National Organization, the Asian Real Estate Association of America, and the American Heart Association, among others. In her free time, Jocelyn enjoys being a basketball team mom, public speaking, exploring health and fitness, and coffee dates. Jocelyn and her husband Jay have two children, Sofia (15) and Ava (12).

THE GRAUER SCHOOL

by LINDA FRABL | photos by Alan Smith Photograhy and provided by The Grauer School

f you have a middle or high school-aged child who wants to go beyond the regimented educational system and is seeking greater connection with teachers, with peers, and with the whole learning experience, do not despair. The Grauer School in Encinitas, which happens to be the longest-serving independent school in San Diego’s North County, is a solution. Its stated philosophy reads as such: “More than just a curriculum, real teaching is the deepening relationship between teacher and student.” Established in 1991, Grauer claims to be the worldwide leader in the “small schools movement.” The school’s founder, Dr. Stuart Grauer, noted, “We have traveled far and wide studying the world’s most inspirational schools, educators, and educational movements: Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Socratic, free and democratic schooling, expeditionary learning and classical education, from oneroom schoolhouses to Peking University. We support all these great movements and traditions which have provided us with heroes, mentors, and wisdom.” Grauer Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs added, “The Grauer School uses the foundations of these great

traditions to infuse all that we keep learning and synthesizing. With the freedom to make choices in their education, our students are discovering their passions and becoming courageous, curious leaders.

“AT GRAUER, NO STUDENT GOES UNNOTICED – ALL ARE PROUD OF THEMSELVES, ALL ARE ENCOURAGED AND REWARDED IN FINDING THEIR VOICE AND THEIR PLACE IN THE WORLD. THEY’RE ADVENTURESOME. THEY’RE HAPPY!” ~ Julie D., 11th Grade Parent

And even though our focus is not on rankings and test scores, our students are getting accepted to and are succeeding at their top choice colleges.”

Engaging students in six core values – resourcefulness, intellectual curiosity, perseverance, compassion, selfadvocacy, and accountability – The Grauer School aims to develop well-rounded students who are purposeful, confident global citizens. The learning curriculum involves field trips, guest speakers, community service activities, and studentcreated programs, all of which serve to complement the required subject matters and stimulate young minds. Grauer is also the region’s only UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) affiliate school, with 176 partner schools around the world, all while gaining unbeatable college placement: 96% of top three college picks and averaging $50-60,000 in merit scholarship offers for graduating seniors. Emphasizing the concept of students taking ownership over their learning, Dana exclaimed, “In a world that often seems to put ‘standards’ before personal development, and to put institutional needs above human needs, Grauer keeps the focus on the individual student. Our students achieve and are valued because they are developing personal passions, and teens coming of age are finding their unique voices at Grauer.” 

Therapeutic Learning Center (formerly Therapeutic Literacy Center) provides individually specialized cognitive therapy and educational services for remediation of learning disabilities and learning challenges.

Individual services are designed to erase not just all kinds of learning problems but all kinds of learning disabilities too so that students can move forward in any learning environment in their future independently confident without need for accommodations.

arents with children that are struggling in school may want to consider the Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC) as a short-term investment. Since its inception in 2012, TLC has a mission to FIX learning challenges and disabilities so that students can thrive in any classroom environment with confidence and joy in learning. The program was originally called Therapeutic Literacy Center, but has recently changed its name to better represent the breadth and scope of learning skills TLC focuses on. Located in Solana Beach, TLC’s clinicians provide cognitive therapies for children and adults along with a private school option with academic classes for students in 1st through 12th grades. “We provide individual educational services with specialized cognitive therapy meant to FIX or erase of all kinds of learning difficulties and identified disabilities. After a relatively short period of time at TLC, students transition back to their traditional schools as successful and independent learners,” said school principal Maria Bagby. Individual services are designed to FIX their learning problems, so that students can independently move forward on an even playing field without the need for accommodations and extra support. “These kids are smart, but struggling. They don’t need us to ‘teach to their strengths’ as we’ve all been told. They need us to strengthen their weaknesses so that learning comes easily in any environment,” Maria explained. Maria herself is a reading specialist and works closely with a network of professionals including educational psychologists, audiologists, MFTs,

The team is dedicated to identifying and ﬁxing the CAUSE of problems rather than focusing on symptoms that come along with frustration and difficulties in attention, motivation, and organization. Some of these symptoms come with labels such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), Nonspeciﬁc Learning Disabilities, Other Health Impairments, and more. Others have no label at all. TLC is ideal for kids who are struggling in a typical school environment. The school focuses

on the science of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change both its physical structure and its functional organization in response to training and experience. For many students, TLC clinicians combine proven cognitive therapies with the Arrowsmith Program. The unique hybrid method of combining cognitive therapies with the Arrowsmith Program accelerates changes in learning success. “We don’t expect our students to stay with us more than one to two years before they are ready to reintegrate into mainstream classes with new levels of success, academically and socially. This is a short-term investment in the life of a child with permanent changes in learning skills.” In addition to their private school option, TLC oﬀers services before, during, and after school for families that choose therapy while remaining in their current school of choice. With their new name in the new year, TLC has redesigned its ﬁnancial structure with a reduced cost to families. “We have no contracts, lower hourly services, and increased student services,” Maria related. “We are listening to the parents – we are making it easier for them to give their children what they need.” 

VILLAGE CHURCH PRESCHOOL

lifelong journey of learning and inspiration begins at The Village Church Preschool (VCP). Children ages two to ﬁve can play, learn, and grow through the school’s focus on developing the whole child. “That includes each stage of development – social, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, and gross motor, which provides for kindergarten readiness,” explained VCP Director Pamela Miller. “Our philosophy is Developmentally Appropriate Practice, which means we provide experiences and activities that are appropriate for each stage of development.” Teachers get to know each child as an individual, developing unique curriculum to engage and inspire each child’s interests. STEAM disciplines – science, technology, engineering, arts, and math – feature prominently in the curriculum. VCP’s rich history speaks to a legacy of support and achievement. The school was founded in 1962 by young moms at the Village Church seeking the perfect place for their children to learn and play – today, some of the earliest students are now sending their own students to VCP. The highly educated teaching staﬀ is part of that legacy as well. “VCP is such an amazing place to teach that teachers stay for many years!” Director Miller shared. “The average length of employment for our teachers is 20-plus years; we have very low turnover.” VCP knows it takes a village to raise a child, and teachers build meaningful relationships with the entire family. Supportive, respectful relationships between children and their peers, teachers, and families are vital for healthy development. “We view parents as participants in their child’s educational life and welcome you into our classroom as an intricate part of our community of learners,” Director Miller said.

When a woman is confident in her stride, aware of her surroundings and walks with purpose, she is less attractive to a sexual predator. Since female high-school and college students are the most common victims of sexual assaults, we strongly recommend that parents educate girls and young women on these essential survival skills.

Alpha Force Krav Maga Teaches Self Defense Using Natural Instincts

by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Mike Qualman

mix of boxing, wrestling, realistic street fighting, and martial arts, the self-defense system of Krav Maga developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and the Israeli Defense Forces. Today, the practice is growing in popularity across the U.S. Accessible to children and adults, Alpha Force Krav Maga in Poway opened its doors in July 2018 to train and empower all students in a self-defense system that blends realistic training based on instincts. The depth of instructor experience sets Alpha Force Krav Maga apart from other self-defense and martial arts training programs. Nancy Stroud is the head instructor and has trained with experts across the world for the last 16 years. “Enjoying the beauty and traditions of martial arts and the instincts and more explosive fighting techniques from Krav Maga, I cross-trained in both systems until 2007 when I earned my civilian instructor certification,” Nancy explained. Since then, Nancy has continued to train and study, and she passed her Expert 2 exam in Israel, May 2017, a ranking that requires significant time and training, and takes years to achieve. The Alpha Force instructors continue to train and work with KRAVolution, a global Krav Maga organization and team of self-defense specialists. Today, Nancy and her fellow instructors are inspired to teach because they have found Krav Maga to be the best system of self-defense. While each of the instructors started training in Krav Maga for different reasons, from confidence and coordination to avoiding “As training continued, it became apparent that this system is the best domestic violence, they have all pursued instructor certification for the same reason. “As self-defense, and so passing it on to training continued, it became apparent that this system is the best self-defense, and so passing others is mandatory in our being.” it on to others is mandatory in our being,” Nancy shared. Nancy passed training on to her daughter, Sydney, who earned her instructor certification in 2017, and inspired the new school, and teaches at Alpha Force Krav Maga. The classes are small, personalized, and accessible for all abilities and ages. Nancy explained, “Students can expect to be welcomed, to be asked about specific expectations and needs, to be challenged, sometimes to sweat, and always to leave with a definite feeling of ‘I’ve got this.’” The small classes ensure that the students’ training is tailored for their strength and size with more training time on the mat and individualized instruction. Krav Maga focuses on awareness, prevention, preemptive striking, and technique to protect oneself from bullying or assaults. While personal safety is the priority, students are finding the practicality of the self-defense training also translates to seeing their “fighting spirit” across their professional and personal lives.  36 • 92064 MAGAZINE.COM • December 2018 | January 2019

Reevaluating the VA Loan

recently had a seller ask me why we were listing his home as eligible for a Veterans Affairs (VA) Loan. “Isn’t it more expensive for the seller?” he asked. This is a common myth about this type of loan, even among Realtors. The reality is that it works like any other type of loan, if the home being sold is in good condition. The VA Loan is not meant to be used for major fixers with multiple defects; however, a home that is in good condition, but merely outdated cosmetically, will do just fine. The factors a VA appraiser will consider when evaluating the home are: plumbing and electrical systems must be safe and in good condition; heating and roofing must be adequate; loose paint must be scraped and repainted; no leaks, excessive dampness, defective construction, or decay; and no termites, destructive insects, fungus growth, or dry rot. These are all items

that a home inspector will look for, and most buyers – no matter what kind of loan they are getting – will probably want repaired. Just as with any buyer, the seller has the right to say “no,” cancel the contract, and move on to the next buyer. More often, however, sellers will usually agree that it is reasonable to request these repairs and will go ahead and fix them. The other factor that sellers often misunderstand is the 100% financing option. Sellers often assume that just because a buyer is using 100% financing, they “have no money” and can’t afford the house. In reality, VA buyers frequently take advantage of this option to keep their cash in their pocket, to use for updating after sale, or just because it makes better financial sense to do so. Furthermore, the

buyer would not be approved for the loan if they could not afford to make the payments, so if the lender says the buyer can afford the home, he probably can. The VA Loan is a great benefit for our veterans, and we should not discount it and eliminate this group of potential buyers based on misconceptions and myths. Unless your home is a complete dump, keep our veterans on your list! 
