:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 1, No. 5 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
South of the Border has Evolved
I
went to high school and grew up in North San Diego County. Having moved from Texas, I thought that I had hit the jackpot. San Diego had the beaches, the mountains, the desert, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla, Los Angeles – all at our fingertips. But there was one other place that was also a gem, especially in my college years. It was Mexico! Long before the recent negative publicity that Mexico experienced, I was making regular trips south of the border. During spring breaks in Rosarito Beach there were more Americans walking the town than Mexicans. During other times of the year, it was not uncommon to make a last minute decision to head to Puerto Nuevo (commonly referred to as “Lobster Village”) for a day trip to feast on fresh Pacific lobster, warm tortillas, rice and beans, and cold beverages. We could be sitting at the table in about an hour and a half if driving from North County. For the more determined, Ensenada was also a very easy day trip. These were good times. Things were much more simple back then. When I met my wife Jessica in the ‘90s, I was introduced to a different part of Mexico. She had been making the trek down to San Felipe for nearly her entire life. Her father had built a home right on the beach in a remote area slightly south of San Felipe as a result of being involved in the Baja 1000 when he was younger. As Jessica and I began our life together and started making the regular trips to San Felipe, I started becoming part of many of her family’s “Mexico” traditions. Carpooling was encouraged – not necessarily for safety reasons; it was simply more fun. There were certain gas stations that you stopped at. There was a specific route that was taken, and a couple of restroom stops (always the same spots). If we were driving in a group, everyone tried to stay together on the five hour commute. When available, walkie-talkies were used (that always added an extra element to the trip). All of this culminated at the Derrick Breaux most anticipated stop of the day – downtown San Felipe, where the fish tacos, Publisher tortas, and ice cold beer signified that we were now on vacation. With full bellies, we would finish the last 30-minute leg of the drive and arrive at my father-in-law’s beautiful slice of beachfront paradise on the Sea of Cortez. Over the years, we have watched Mexico evolve. The horror stories that you see on the news or hear about from “friends of friends” don’t seem to have been a reality – at least in our parts of Mexico near San Diego. However, there is one reality – many Americans simply stopped going. Spring break is now just like any other week in San Felipe. You no longer see the packs of American teenagers and young adults partying at the hot spots and beaches. It’s slower paced. It’s quite peaceful. We recently went down to the house in San Felipe for spring break. It was a quiet trip. We stopped in town for fish tacos per tradition, then spent the next several days doing nothing. By doing nothing, what I mean is we spent our time relaxing, watching our kids play with their cousin nonstop from sunup to sundown in the sand on the beach. We fished. We cooked. We had happy hour – San Felipe style, of course. We were visited by friends from Del Sur. We played board games and cards after dinner (a few house favorites are Mexican Train, Drunk Mexican Poker, and Spoons). There were no moans and groans from the kids of being hungry or bored. In fact, we had to drag our kids to the table for dinner, at which time they consumed quantities of food that I had never seen them eat before. What 10-year-old kid eats four burritos at a single sitting? Once upon a time, the slower paced (let’s call it relaxing) experience wouldn’t have really worked for me. I’ve always been the type to be on the go. I didn’t completely understand the “sitting around” thing. Now I do. I suppose that means I’ve evolved as well.

NATUREʼS MAGIC Local Artist Annie Omens Finds Inspiration in the Beauty of the Natural World by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Soul of Photography

nnie Omens has always known that she wanted to share her love of the natural world through her artwork. “Since I was a child I knew I was an artist and never considered ‘being’ anything else. It’s more of a ‘soul-calling’ than a career for me,” revealed Annie. Her artwork is inspired by nature – animals, flowers, landscapes – and through her creative endeavors she hopes to bring awareness to what will be lost if humans don’t become better stewards for the planet. According to Annie, her background in photography and drawing, both of which she majored in during college, gave her the tools she uses today to hand draw and paint into her photos. In addition, in 2009 Annie completed a three-year certification in digital photography from San Jacinto College. Although many of Annie’s photographs are what she calls “straight captures,” she also creates a library of images to layer into one composition, a composition that speaks to the mystical and magical elements she finds in nature. Annie has lived in San Diego since the late 1970s when she transferred here as a flight attendant, a job that allowed her to support herself financially and continue to pursue her passion for creating

art. “After a few years of flying, I met and married my husband. We eventually had two daughters and I became a stay-at-home mom raising our girls in the rural communities of Fallbrook and Murrieta,” related Annie. Two years ago Annie and her husband moved to Rancho Santa Fe where they enjoy the rural feel and beauty of the community, as well as the close proximity family and city activities. When Annie is not creating works of art, she enjoys taking her dog for runs on Dog Beach and horseback riding. “I recently retired my last horse from being ridden, but hope to occasionally ride other horses for fun,” stated Annie, who is an accomplished equestrian. Looking to the future, Annie would love gallery representation in North County San Diego and eventually representation with a gallery in New York City, along with a strong international online presence through her website. She is also delving into a new medium – sculpture. “I am about to launch a sculptural project where I will create 3D pieces containing photos and natural materials based on individual animals,” explained Annie. These pieces will express what Annie sees as the animal’s essential spirit.
Padres and Puppies PLAYERS POSE WITH DOGS TO PROMOTE ADOPTION

t is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but a calendar full of puppies being held by members of the San Diego Padres may only elicit a one-syllable response: “aw.” The Helen Woodward Animal Center recently collaborated with the MLB team to create heartwarming images for a calendar giveaway for all fans who attended a recent home game versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. “This was an amazing experience,” said Helen Woodward Animal Center Social Media Supervisor Marcie Grube. “I was born and raised in San Diego and I’ve been a Padres fan since I was a little girl. Meeting the players in this way gave me a glimpse at what down-to-earth, true animal lovers they are. We see them as these fierce athletes but their hearts are
just the same as any of ours when it comes to orphan pets.” The calendar featured nine months of high-profile players such as Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Andrew Cashner, and James Shield, to name a few. It also featured Team Hitting Coach Mark Kotsay and Team Coach Dave Roberts. For the photo shoot, adoptable HWAC puppies were invited out to Peoria, AZ where the team was completing their spring training. On the day of the giveaway at Petco Park, puppies greeted game attendees at ballpark entry gates to encourage the baseball fans to pick up their calendars and to consider the benefits of adoption. Additionally, players featured in the calendar can be seen on billboards to highlight HWAC, the Padres, and the devotion the team has for the rescue.

HOW TO BOND
WITH BABY TOP TIPS FOR NEW DADS AND GRANDDADS by LAWRENCE SCHLITT, M.D.; Scripps Clinic, Del Mar
Dads and granddads may feel nervous at first when their tiny newborn arrives, but they can forge a unique bond with baby from the start. Try these tips to build a strong connection with the newest member of your family.
Be a part of the daily routine. Help with bathing, dressing, and changing diapers. Bring your hungry baby to mom for feedings and then take baby back for burping.
Touch is key. During the first few weeks of life, the sensation of touch can bring you and your baby close. Place your baby against your chest, so he can feel the rhythm of your heartbeat. Stroke her back or rock her gently in your arms.
tiny infant tries to do the same thing. As your baby gets older, start playing peekaboo.
Soothe a fussy baby. Don’t worry that you won’t be able to soothe your baby. Dads and granddads have an important role to play in nurturing and calming a fussy baby. Your larger hands can specialize in making a tight swaddle, and your knees can make a great place to gently vibrate or jiggle your little one. Singing, humming, and walking around are other good tactics.
Have a dance party. It’s never too early to start teaching your son or granddaughter how to dance. Babies love music, and they love to rock out. Sway around the room to special music. Introduce him to the sounds you love, whether that is classical, swing, folk, alternative, or pop.
Be part of the bedtime routine. Spend time alone with your baby. If grandpa is retired, he can come by during the day to give mom a break. Dad can look forward to hanging out when he gets home from work, setting aside some time for him and baby. Little ones love to hear the sound of a deep voice, so talk away. It doesn’t matter what you say – talk about last night’s sport scores if you want or read from a favorite novel.
Sing harmony with mom, read Goodnight Moon, lower the lights, rock your baby before settling her in her crib. Whatever your bedtime ritual, take advantage of this time. As long as you spend time with your baby, a bond will develop. Dads and granddads need to relax, be themselves, and enjoy this special time.
Have a staring contest. Babies love to look at faces, so chances are she’ll probably outlast dad and grandpa.
Make silly faces. Let your inner silliness come out and play. Scrunch up your face, stick out your tongue, raise your eyebrows. Don’t be surprised when your

erving Seniors hosted the “Experience of a Lifetime” at the Del Mar Country Club in 92067. The annual fundraiser served as an opportunity for guests to honor a senior in their life. The evening featured a wine tasting reception that treated guests to the tastes of premier wineries throughout California and Baja California. Thus the theme, “Uncork Your Support,” was very fitting. Those in attendance enjoyed an exclusive menu with fine wine pairings created by Del Mar Country Club Executive Chef Tommy DiMella. Live music was provided as guests bid on silent and live auction items. All of the evening’s proceeds went toward providing 100,000 meals to thousands of low-income and homeless seniors in San Diego County.

A Celebration of Tradition THE RANCHO SANTA FE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HONORS MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY
T
he Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society (RSFHS), established in 1985, has served its community by upholding its mission to collect, preserve, research, and interpret the documents, photos, and artifacts that connect residents to Rancho Santa Fe and its past. In the last 30 years the society has done its part to celebrate local history and embrace traditions, old and new. The RSFHS recently celebrated its history by honoring Rea Mowery for his contributions to the community. The Rea Mowery Garden was commemorated to him at La Flecha House, which is historically significant for the society. One of the RSFHS’s earliest volunteers, Rea was instrumental in obtaining the house. “We will forever be indebted to the contribution Rea Mowery made to the Historical Society and to the community,” shared RSFHS President John Vreeburg.
While they celebrate their past, the historical society continues to look toward the future by getting ready for their annual Home Tour, which this year has changed into the Barn Tour to acknowledge the rich equestrian history of “The Ranch.” Of the updated theme, John explained, “Horses have played a major role here in the Ranch, which is a community that truly caters to horse enthusiasts. With that in mind, we were aware of some splendid barns that we thought would be interesting for the general public to view.” The tour will be similar to that of past events with a designated route of six locations, and an event at the end of the day to bring everyone together. The tour has received a Blue Ribbon sponsorship from long time 92067 resident Dorothy McCrink, which she donated as a gift in the memory of her late husband, Edward McCrink. For more information on
the RSFHS’s mission and events visit www.ranchosantafehistoricalsociety.org.

the Grand Tetons, and she joined them for 15 miles of high elevation backpack hiking. Excited by the trek, Avery couldn't help but blurt out, “Yes!” when her father asked if she wanted to hike Mt. Whitney. Avery admitted hiking for eight hours a day over the course of eight days can be especially tiring, but she loved spending quality time with her family. She learned how to be part of a team during the day and perfected her poker skills at night. She shared, “The trip made us even closer.” Not surprisingly, Avery’s family inspires her. She admires and shares her dad’s passion for the outdoors, and she appreciates the fact that he founded the Rancho Santa Fe Outdoors Club because she gets to enjoy all of the awesome resulting campouts. She admires her sisters because they inspire her to be a good student and a kind person. As is true for her sisters, school is important to her. She revealed, “Reading is my favorite subject because I am good at it and can learn about new things in a fun way.” Avery also enjoys Girl Scouts and sports. A Girl Scout since kindergarten, she loves the many fun activities her troop leader, Mrs. Perry, plans in addition to hiking, camping, earning badges, cooking, and selling cookies. Some of her favorite sports include biking, swimming, scuba diving, skateboarding, rock climbing, tennis, and golf. Just as Avery seeks higher future peaks to climb with her family, she sets high future expectations for herself. First, she plans to attend The Bishop School in sixth grade. Later she wants to attend Stanford, become a doctor, get married, and have a family. For now, though, she is content to play outside and explore with the Rancho Santa Fe friends she’s had since preschool.

Kim is a self-taught artist and creates still life, landscape, and oil paintings available online under Kim Peterson Designs. Jim has been a partner for 26 years with the law firm of Higgs, Fletcher & Mack, LLP. He’s recognized as a top labor and employment defense lawyer by numerous publications.

recently celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary. “We like to hike and spend time in and around San Diego,” shared Jim. They also adore basketball and local sports. Daughters Whitney and Danielle both graduated from University of Arizona (Wildcats). Christina is a sophomore at SDSU (Aztecs). Whitney and her husband, Clark, live in Mission Hills. She is a staffing specialist for the Allegis Group, on assignment at Allere Pharmaceuticals. Danielle is an accountant with Signature Analytics providing outsourced support to local businesses. Christina is majoring in marketing at SDSU with a minor in music.
It’s also music to the Petersons that Christina’s cancer has been in remission since 2011. When she was 16 she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and endured months of chemotherapy treatments at Rady Children’s Hospital. The MakeA-Wish Foundation granted her dream to attend the 2012 Grammy Awards. “It was an unbelievably healing and bonding experience for the entire family,” added Jim. Christina’s singing talents were recognized by the foundation and she was invited to sing the national anthem at several signature events. Soon, all the Petersons became involved: Jim joined the board of Make-A-Wish Foundation; Kim is a founding member of the WISH circle, and both sisters volunteer. Because of their all-in support, the Petersons were bestowed with the “Friends and Family” award at this year’s Make-AWish ceremony. Jim reflected, “We love seeing joy and hope in other families dealing with a health tragedy.” The Peterson family’s bonds are strong. Jim acknowledged, “It’s not unusual for me to come out of a meeting and find 150 messages from a group family chat.” Reply all: keep the love going.
“WE LOVE SEEING JOY AND HOPE IN OTHER FAMILIES DEALING WITH A HEALTH TRAGEDY.”

A Fashionable Fundraiser for Pets
Local nonprofit Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) recently held its 5th Annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser at a private Rancho Santa Fe estate. Bags & Baubles was first introduced in 2011 to help family pets in need of emergency veterinary care and has garnered many loyal supporters over the years. This year, over 450 guests enjoyed appetizers, desserts, wine, and a vast assortment of handbags and other accessories that were available for purchase and auction. Over $100,000 was raised from the designer bags and accessories – ranging from gently used to brand new – and all proceeds went toward FACE’s mission to save pets and help families. “Bags & Baubles is FACE’s biggest fundraiser of the year, made possible by the generosity of our community,” said Executive Director Brooke Haggerty. “Shopping at Bags & Baubles is a win-win – you can help FACE save lives and come away with great bargains at the same time.” For more information on the cause contact events@face4pets.org.
Bill 494 Passes Assembly
Assemblymember Brian Maienschein recently announced that his Assembly Bill 494 (AB 494) passed out of the Assembly with unanimous support and is now on its way to the Senate. This bill seeks to expand sections of state law to meet with the Domestic Violence Prevention Act by protecting companion animals for victims in cases of civil harassment, elder abuse, and juvenile dependency. Assemblymember Maienschein explained, “I am pleased that AB 494 has received so much support. This bill will provide much needed protection to victims of abusive relationships by expanding the application of all restraining orders in California Law to include a victim’s pets. AB 494 is an important step to help victims free themselves from these situations and to stay protected from their abuser.” Assemblymember Maienschein of San Diego represents the 77th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the Rancho Santa Fe community.

Help a Horse Day
Laughing Pony Rescue held its 1st Annual Help a Horse Day on April 26 in conjunction with the ASPCA’s National Horse Day. The organization aimed to help educate the community on horse rescues by opening the ranch to the public. They provided pony rides, crafts, demonstrations, and tours of the facility. With roughly 50 people in attendance, the rescue received a cumulative donation of $1500. The proceeds would go toward feeding the ponies for the next few weeks. This event made Laughing Pony eligible to win a grant from the ASPCA for up to $10,000. The ASPCA created Help a Horse Day in 2013 in order to provide a national day of recognition for organizations that help horses. The day is meant to help spread the word about the lifesaving work they do on behalf horses in need. To learn more about Laughing Pony Rescue and the work they do visit www.laughingponyrescue.com.
Science Discovery Day
Science Discovery Day occurs every spring at the R. Roger Rowe School to enlighten students about science fields such as genomics, anatomy, physics, robotics, and rockets. The event is funded by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation and has been running for the past 15 years with the help of teachers, parent volunteers, and hired professionals. “The students are very engaged and excited about science,” said parent volunteer Ken Buechler, who co-chaired this year’s event. “Their enthusiasm fills the day.” Science Discovery Day took place during school hours and featured various workshops throughout campus. Each workshop focused on a different science field and even provided students with the ability to interact with animals – both real and fake. One of the most exciting features of the science-filled day was the 17-foot robotic giraffe that made a special appearance. The giraffe, which has recently become famous for visiting the White House, was definitely a crowd favorite that day.
Toastmasters Member Wins District Contest
The Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters Club has been helping residents polish their public speaking skills since 2009.

The best delivery wins. Laura Akers, former president of the club, shared, “Everyone in the club is very supportive of each other.

RSFFPD has sent out photo by Soul of Photography letters to all residents within their service area to remind them of the local hazard abatement requirements. Their tips offer ways to safeguard not just homes, but also the entire community. RSFFPD created a list of tips that helps residents to take into consideration how prepared their homes are for the oncoming hot summer months. The guidelines range from creating a defensible space around your home to keeping an eye out for plants that are fire hazards to keeping driveways and roadways clear of overhanging vegetation. If you have questions regarding vegetation management contact the Fire Prevention Bureau or visit www.rsf-fire.org for more tips.

S
ince the days it was known as Quail Botanical Gardens, the San Diego Botanic Garden has helped people develop a respect and appreciation for nature. The Garden aims to create programs, volunteer opportunties, and overall memorable experiences for those who seek to be surrounded by flora, fauna, and fun. From summer camps to festivals, the Garden has something for 92024 residents of all ages. We speak with President and CEO Julian Duval about the Garden’s mission “to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature,” and we provide a look at upcoming projects for this beloved botanical garden.
by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography San Diego Botanic Garden is a beautiful garden oasis nestled on 37 acres in the midst of Encinitas. More than 4,000 different species of plants are found throughout the Garden including endangered, unique, and native plant species. “Thanks to our mild Southern California climate, plants from all over the world thrive here. Our diverse topography provides a wide variety of microclimates, giving visitors the sensation of strolling through a tropical rainforest or hiking in the high desert. Four miles of trails wind through 29 themed gardens including two specially designed for children – the acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden and Seeds of Wonder,” stated Julian Duval, President and CEO. The mission of the San Diego Botanic Garden is to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature. Each of the garden areas is unique and provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the plants as well as learn about the flora that surrounds them. For example, the Tropical Rainforest area includes a spectacular waterfall set amidst a lush rainforest and shady green paths, while the Landscape for Fire Safety Garden is an area where guests can learn about fire-safe plants, landscape design, and maintenance. In addition, guests can explore the Bamboo Garden, which houses the nation’s largest collection of bamboo, some of which is enjoyed by the giant pandas at the San Diego Zoo!

Deep-Rooted History
Education and Events
Agricultural development of what is now the San Diego Botanic Garden began in 1917 when Donald Ingersoll and his family built a home on the property. In the 1940s the property was sold to Ruth and Charles Larabee. In 1957 Ruth Larabee donated 26 acres to San Diego County with the stipulation that the property remain a haven where people could enjoy and learn about plants and wildlife. The Quail Gardens Foundation Inc. was formed in 1961 and 10 years later, Quail Park – as the Garden was previously known – was opened to the public. In 1993, due to budget constraints, San Diego County withdrew its staff and support from what was then called Quail Botanical Gardens. San Diego Botanic Garden is now managed by the Quail Gardens Foundation Inc. which consists of a board of trustees, a professional staff of about 30 people, and many dedicated docents and volunteers.
San Diego Botanic Garden provides classes, tours, and events for visitors to connect with the natural world around them. Birdwatchers gather together each Monday morning at 8 a.m., docent-led tours occur every Saturday morning, and special group tours can be booked in advance. Classes are also offered in a variety of subjects from planting a vertical garden to creating beautiful wreaths made from succulents. Visit www.sdbgarden.org/classes.htm for the most up-todate schedule of classes.

Throughout the year the Garden offers a wide variety of interactive, fun, educational, and family-friendly events. During the summer months families are invited to enjoy some outdoor fun at Thursday Family Fun Nights. These events occur from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., May 28 through Aug. 27, and feature live music. “By far our most popular event and annual gift to our community is Garden of Lights. This year the event will take place from Dec. 5 through 23 and Dec. 26 through 30 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.,” said Duval. “In addition to the events put on by the Garden, many private special events take place on the grounds of the Garden. Areas of the Garden can be rented for events such as children’s birthday parties, holiday celebrations, and weddings. Our Gazebo Lawn, Walled Garden, and Waterfall Deck areas are very popular among brides and grooms.”
“We all live in increasingly urban environments. It was so different when the Larabees lived here in a house that was less than 1,000 square feet on 30-plus acres of ocean view property. Now if you look anywhere

plenty of evidence of the health benefits when we do take the time to visit a place like the San Diego Botanic Garden. I am convinced that all of us humans desire a connection with the rest of the living world that goes beyond our dependence on the real world in providing the essential air, water, and food we depend on. The Garden is truly a place of rejuvenation for everyone. Knowing this we made the Garden free of charge for a month after the tragedy of 9/11,” said Duval.
Fauna Among the Flora Spaces such as the Garden are also important natural habitats for native wildlife, including year-round, wintering, and migrating birds. “The Garden is considered a local birdwatching hotspot. In 2014 nine new bird species were sighted at the Garden. To date, 136 different birds have been spotted including the varied thrush, yellow-breasted chat, purple finch, white pelican, black-and-white warbler, and the crested caracara,” stated Duval. Children and adults alike also enjoy seeing the Garden’s namesake birds – the quail – that live on the property and have their own enclosure in Hamilton Children’s Garden. In the spring visitors will often see mama and papa quail wandering through the Garden with up to a dozen “cheepers” (babies) following close behind. Visitors can also see crows and red-tailed hawks circling overhead and, on most days, a pair of mallard ducks can be spotted on the property. In addition to birds, the Garden is home to many lizards, rabbits, squirrels, and frogs. Perhaps the most famous animal on the grounds is Sam, the Galapagos Tortoise. Sam, who has a special history with Duval that dates back nearly 50 years, is a therapy animal for special needs individuals. Duval has many stories of how Sam has helped people over the years. One particularly heart-warming tale stands out among the others. “As Julian was sharing Sam with a group of autistic youngsters, his wife saw one nonverbal young man standing back, away from Sam. When she let this young man know that Sam is shy and also doesn’t talk, it made a connection with this autistic youngster that gave him the courage to approach Sam and become his friend,” related Lisa Reynolds, Public Relations and Marketing Manager at the Garden. Though Sam is not currently on display for the general public, he can be seen in his enclosure by visitors taking in the stunning ocean view from the Overlook Natural Area. It is hoped the Sam can be available for special events and engagements in the future.
Connecting with the Community As a part of the Garden’s overall mission to connect plants with people, employment and volunteer opportunities are offered through two organizations for local North County adults who are developmentally challenged. Through Advanced Options, volunteers help clean the signs that are located throughout the Garden and perform general clean-up work in Hamilton Children’s Garden each Wednesday afternoon. Through Community Interface Services, volunteers assist with general upkeep in several of the 29 garden areas every Wednesday. Most recently, the Garden has contracted with Employment and Community Options. The contract with this organization will allow several high-functioning special needs individuals to serve food and beverages at a coffee cart that will be located adjacent to the gift shop. “We are particularly pleased about our partnership with Employment and Community Options who will provide a coffee snack service for SDBG. They have a proven track record with the Jitter Bean Coffee Cart they operate and we know they will provide a much appreciated service for the Garden’s guests. We also believe the work environment will be of benefit for those that staff the snack service for the Garden,” said Duval. Duval also recognized the County of San Diego’s partnership and their most recent $20,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant, which is funding the new refreshment area where the coffee cart will be located. “We are grateful to Supervisor Dave Roberts and our friends at the County for their generous support, which will enable us to add this muchneeded amenity to the Garden, including tables, chairs, and signage, as part of the Live Well, San Diego initiative,” said Duval.
Making a Difference at the Garden According to Duval, volunteers of all kinds are essential to the operation of the Garden. There are many different areas for individuals who are interested in volunteering to donate their time, energy, and special skills. “Volunteers can serve as ambassadors in our Welcome Center, work as sales representatives in our Garden Shop, or utilize their skills in any of our departments including membership, development, accounting, operations, marketing, or events,” said Duval. Opportunities are also available for local residents to become docents and lead tours for classes, visitors, and VIPs, or to become a trustee and help guide the vision of the Garden into the future.

SAME DAY SMILES CAD SMILES BRINGS NEW SMILES TO PATIENTS IN JUST ONE VISIT by RANDI CANTRELL | photos by Tyler McElhaney
E
ddie Corales of CAD Smiles believes that a person’s smile is an important part of their personality – it can reflect their lifestyle and attitude, and is often the first thing that others will notice. His passion to help others find their perfect smile began five years ago when he started CAD Smiles, a company that focuses on sameday smile makeovers. Today he works with over 200 dentists all over San Diego County who own CEREC CAD/CAM technology and provides tooth restorations, full-mouth rehabilitations, implants, dentures, and many other services. In previous years, if crowns or dental veneers were necessary for a patient, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between visits was inevitable. The CEREC CAD/CAM one-of-a-kind technology has changed these dental procedures completely. It now allows the smile designer to take digital scans of a patient’s teeth and work with them to personally customize a smile in just a few hours. “CAD Smiles is the only company in San Diego and the U.S. that offers same-day smile makeovers with a certified technician, or smile designer, onsite,” Eddie explained. “This means that a patient can come to the dental office with a smile that is not satisfactory to them and leave with a smile that suits them.”
36 • 92067Magazine.com • June | July 2015
Dr. Brian Davey is one local dentist who works with CAD Smiles and the CEREC CAD/ CAM technology. Dr. Davey was recently awarded the 2014 Doctor of the Year for NLP Complete Health Dentistry and earned a leadership award earlier this year. He comes from a family of dentistry and was mentored by his uncle, a pediatric dentist, who recognized early on that Dr. Davey had the skill, both technical and interpersonal, to become a good dentist. Today, Dr. Davey’s mission is to enhance people’s lives through health, wellness, and fun. He is committed to making a difference in the health of the San Diego community by getting 20,000 people healthier before 2020. He believes the mouth is connected to the body, the body is connected to the family, and the family is connected to the health of a community. Dr. Davey explained, “Bringing together the medical and dental communities and creating an inter-personal collaboration for the greater good of San Diego and my patients is my mission.” The atmosphere of CAD Smiles Same Day Smile Centers is similar to that of a spa rather than a traditional dentist’s office. Patients are made to feel comfortable and at ease, and more importantly, are included in the process of designing their new smile. “With our service, there are no uncertainties,” Eddie continued. “The final result is predictable because the dentist, patient, and smile designer work
together in perfect synergy. We apply the principles of visual art to the composition of the customized smile to create a result that expresses the patient’s personality and lifestyle, and ensures harmony between the restorations and the patient’s physical appearance, values, and attitude. It is a service you won’t get anywhere else.”

A Fun and Safe Summer RANCHO SANTA FE FIRE DISTRICT GIVES TIPS ON WATER SAFETY
T
he hot summer months are almost here and soon many will be seeking a refreshing dip in the water of their pool, lake, or beach. While focusing on cooling you and your family down you might not put much thought into preventing injury, yet drowning is the leading cause of injury and death for young children. It takes seconds for an accident to happen while spending time near water. Fortunately, risk of drowning is preventable if you are aware of your surroundings and actions. If you have a pool it is vital to always have life-saving flotation devices near the pool area. In households with children it is important to make sure that children do not play around the pool area or swim in the pool without adult supervision at any time. If possible, make sure pools and spas are enclosed on all four sides with self-closing and latching gates. It is also worth looking into installing an exit alarm on any door that provides direct access to the pool. Another important safety modification to consider is an anti-entrapment drain cover for pools and spas. Making sure that your surroundings are secure is important, but so is making sure that you are prepared in the case that an accident does occur. You should always know the address of your location in case
you need to call 9-1-1. If you are at a beach or lake location, pinpoint your nearest street, cross street, and landmarks. Remember to always have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket when participating in water sports such as tubing or jet skiing. Do not consume alcohol if operating a boat. Following these simple guidelines can help you have a fun and safe time under the sun this summer. For more information on water safety visit www.rsf-fire.org.

Headaches? Can’t Sleep?
CHECK YOUR BITE. The average person swallows 2,000 times per day, causing the upper and lower teeth to come together and push against the skull. People who have a poorly aligned bite or missing teeth can have related health problems, such as frequent headaches or sleep disorders, because their jaw muscles must work harder to bring the teeth together, straining the surrounding jaw muscles.
“At the first sign of discomfort, see your general dentist,” says Academy of General Dentistry spokesperson Peter G. Bastian, DDS, MAGD. “He or she knows your mouth best and how you handle day-to-day stress.”
This strain, known as orofacial pain, is defined as any pain in or around the face. Some people may experience pain in the ears, eyes, sinuses, cheeks or side of the head, while other experience clicking when moving the jaw. Orofacial pain can also be caused by temporomandibular disorder (TMD), stress, nerve disorders, or muscle spasms. Serious causes of orofacial pain are tumors in the jaw bone area, oral cancer, or referred pain from cardiac disease.

EDxYouth@SanDiego is an independently organized event born from the success of TEDxSanDiego. The TEDxYouth event at Canyon Crest Academy came into fruition in 2011 when it was decided that San Diego’s youth needed their own event celebrating the power of ideas. The March event was unique from other TEDx events in that it featured only five speakers, each speaker an expert on their own topic. The theme of the night was “We Can’t Wait: Conversations That Matter” and was designed specifically to provide a space where important ideas and issues could be addressed. Four hundred high school students attended from more than 30 high schools across the county. “There’s nothing quite like 400 eager teens coming together in the spirit of ideas worth spreading,” shared Founder and Executive Producer Sonia Rhodes. All participants enjoyed dinner, conversations, performances, and a personal reflection walk. At the night’s closing, all guests were treated to a concert under the stars.

Angela’s Unforgettable Prom FORMER PROM QUEEN SHARES HER EXPERIENCE
P
rom night is often considered a rite of passage, but for teens who are dealing with cancer, attending prom can be challenging. The Friends of Scott Foundation’s annual Unforgettable Prom was created with these teens in mind so that they too can experience an evening of music and memories. The foundation even provides dresses, makeup, limousines, and a red carpet. For Angela Ji, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, this night was especially memorable when she won the title of prom queen. The year that Angela won prom queen, there was a dance contest where one teen was chosen for each category of music – Angela was picked for the rock and roll number. Angela put her nervousness aside to be in the moment, and when she won she was speechless and shocked, but remembered to enjoy it. That prom and the other Friends of Scott Foundation events that Angela has attended left a large impact on her life. “These events are so important to cancer kids because – throughout all of the chemo, drugs, and side effects – having such a memorable and carefree night at your prom takes your mind off the pains and stresses of living with cancer,” said Angela. The foundation led Angela to realize that she can use her story to help other kids with cancer through hard times. By winning prom queen she gained the opportunity to be a spokesperson and public speaker at charity venues. “I can bring awareness of the importance of activities such as the Unforgettable Prom for children like me,” shared Angela. “The Unforgettable Prom may only be one night a year, but it remains unforgettable to cancer kids for the rest of their lives.”

C
lutter. It’s the bane of many homeowners. And it seems just as the clutter has been cleared, more clutter arrives to take its place. Tailored Living has been helping area homeowners rediscover their homes and fall in love with them all over again. “Clutter gets in our way of seeing our homes for all they can be,” said owner Dana Nuesca. “We can help you get a handle on your clutter and beautify your home too.” Getting started is the most difficult part. So Dana recommends starting with small tasks such as a corner or a drawer. “One task that has helped others is Toss 50, which means a homeowner will discard or recycle 50 items throughout the house during one week’s time,” offered Dana. “Get rid of broken items, discouraging items, and things that don’t work. They’re just dragging you down.” Once you clear up the clutter, know what you’re keeping and have a pretty good idea of where you’re going to keep it, Tailored Living will visit your home and design a storage solution just for you. “It’s not helpful to purchase a cookie cutter storage solution,” said Dana. “Tailored Living uses space design software so we can create a number of storage solutions and review them with the homeowners to make sure the chosen design meets their specific needs.” She added, “Once homeowners cut through the clutter, they can see the inherent beauty in their homes.” Tailored Living of North County San Diego featuring PremierGarage began operation in 2014 and is owned and operated by Escondido residents Kalani and Dana Nuesca. The company proudly serves homeowners and businesses from all over North County, offering storage solutions for garages, closets, pantries, mudrooms, home offices, and even guest rooms through complimentary in-home estimates and consultations, professional measuring, and installation.

Annual SPARK Gala LOCAL COUPLE HELPS IGNITE THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
S
an Diego community members, physicians, and cancer survivors came together to “ignite the fight against cancer” at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center’s 34th Annual Gala – also known as the SPARK Gala. The gala was cochaired by 92067 residents Wanda and Cam Garner, who know firsthand how destructive cancer can be. Four generations of Cam’s family have been affected by various forms of cancer, which is why the local husband and wife worked hard to make SPARK a night to remember. SPARK was held at the Grand Del Mar and provided an opportunity for the community to recognize the advances made in the fight against cancer. A cocktail reception, dinner, auction, and special performance by actress and singer
Megan Hilty – who made her Broadway debut as Glinda in Wicked – were provided for guests throughout the evening. The gala garnered more than $2 million and all proceeds benefited research and patient care at the Moores Cancer Center. Funds will also help the center to launch a new Cancer Immunotherapy Program. Part of the UCSD health system, Moores Cancer Center is one of just 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the country – and the only one in the San Diego region. This year marks their 10th anniversary. “We want to be sure that San Diego has a world-class cancer center, with the best doctors and researchers, so that no one here needs to leave in order to receive the highest quality of care,” shared Cam.

SNORKELING
SAN DIEGO
Snorkel into Summer and Explore San Diego's Underwater Landscape by LAINEY KRAL
S
an Diegans don’t have to travel far to discover a whole new world this summer – we live just a splash away from two unique snorkeling spots. La Jolla has something to see under the sea for novices and experts alike.
If you don’t have gear, there are plenty of local places to buy or rent from. A snorkel and mask are the basic essentials. Make sure the mask fits and feels comfortable. It should seal tightly to your face without requiring you to overtighten the strap. Optional equipment includes fins for greater speed and maneuverability, snorkeling vests for some extra buoyancy, and wetsuits for colder waters. Snorkeling novices may choose to sign up for a tour or class to get some in-person instruction. If you’re going out with just your family, you should check in with the lifeguards when you get to the beach and ask about the current water conditions. La Jolla Cove is a favorite snorkeling destination, with three distinct areas to explore. Straight out from the south end of the cove are kelp beds teaming with fish. Up the coast to the north is a series of sea caves, best visible in low tide. Advanced snorkelers can swim into the caves, but be careful of unexpected wave surges. The middle of the cove is
the most popular spot for snorkeling. The wide variety of fish are used to people and will often swim up close. Look out for the California state fish – the bright orange Garibaldi. You may also spot rays, sea slugs, urchins, or other aquatic creatures. Right down the coast is La Jolla Shores. For most of the year there’s little to see at this beach besides sand, but every summer La Jolla Shores becomes a nursing ground for hundreds of distinctively spotted leopard sharks. Unless you happen to be a small crustacean or mollusk, it’s perfectly safe to swim out among them. The visibility can be low with the waves stirring up sand, and the sharks are easiest to spot just when the visibility starts to improve. Swim straight out from The Marine Room restaurant until you reach a depth of four to five feet, then keep swimming to the left and right. Move slowly to avoid scaring them off. While the sharks can be found as early as June, their numbers will peak between August and September.

When I first joined Moms & Tots I felt very welcomed and I appreciated all the moms who graciously opened their homes. When I was voted on as chair my goal was to help moms make lasting relationships while cultivating friendships for their children through fun and enriching activities,” revealed Nicole. Wendy and Nicole plan weekly activities for the group, such as behind-the-scenes access at the Birch Aquarium, fire station tours, holiday-themed parties at member’s homes and trips to the music institute. “We try to find a new way every week to connect our little ones to our beautiful community. We also focus on connecting with each other as moms and friends through Moms Night Out get-togethers and various charity events,” explained Wendy.

She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and “followed the sun” to San Diego after completing her degree. Wendy and her husband have two daughters: Sophia and Charlotte. “Pre-kids, our favorite thing to do was to travel off the beaten path. With little ones, we are sticking closer to home for the time being,” related Wendy. Nicole and Wendy encourage local moms with small children to contact the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center for more information about the Moms & Tots playgroup. “We always love having new moms and children join our group,” stated these two super moms.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
And the Heat Goes On...
It
is often said that real estate is local. We all know San Diego is different than other parts of California. We also know there are “hot pockets” here in San Diego County. So as we roll into what is typically the “hottest” time of the year for real estate, let’s take a look at the temperature of the RSF market compared to San Diego County as a whole – it’s a very interesting thermometer. Remember, when looking at real estate data in Rancho Santa Fe, we are talking about a much higher price point than San Diego County as a whole. Correspondingly, we are comparing a much smaller number of sales in RSF. “Sold” listings show us where the market has been. “Pending Sales” shows us where the market is headed. In San Diego County the price range with the greatest increase in pending sales from May 2014 through April 2015 were homes priced $1,250,000 and above (a 17.4% increase). That’s good news for the luxury market! But here’s where it gets interesting for 92067: if you compare last April with this April you will see that pending sales are down 29.6%. But if you compare 2014 with 2015 year-to-date pending sales the thermometer changes! Pending sales are up 26.6% yearto-date. We’ve had a pretty active year so far, but not a gangbuster April in RSF. We could be headed for a fever – or chills. Stay tuned to my market watch – the summer will be interesting!
The luxury market is special. Rancho Santa Fe is unique. Rancho Santa Fe is a lifestyle. It is important to know the numbers but it is also important to know what is motivating the buyers and the sellers. Your agent needs to understand both stats and psychographics. I’ve sold luxury properties in both northern and southern California for over 10 years and have degrees in both marketing and psychology as well as numerous real estate designations. So remember if you want to “Get the MOST, call MOTS!” That’s me – Deanne Motsenbocker at 858-444-MOTS (6687).
