Camps. Camps. And More Camps!

Derrick Breaux Publisher

Publisher Derrick Breaux

Director of Business Development Jessica Breaux

Associate Editors can’t believe we are thinking about summer already! Where does the time go? I’ve always loved summer. As a kid, I would count the days until school was out. It still seems like yesterday. As parents, the mere concept of summer can be a little overwhelming. Two or more months of kids at home? What in the heck are they going to do every day? How am I going to pull this off? For these reasons, last year we brought you the 1st Annual Summer Camp Guide. We had no idea of how popular it was going to be. This year, I am proud to present the 2nd Annual Summer Camp Guide (see page 30). It is bigger and better than ever! It includes tons of options to keep your youngster occupied during the long break. Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine), kick up your feet, and take a peek at the variety of camps being offered this summer. Be sure to reserve your kid’s spot early this year, as summer camps are in high demand and things fill up quickly. And most importantly, tell them you saw their camp in the magazine! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Camp Stories From The ZCode Team “I was lucky enough to attend a four-day football camp when I was a kid. We stayed in dormitories, ran cool training drills, watched football tapes, and made some great friends along the way. It was an awesome experience!” – Derrick, Publisher

“Leaving the classroom for the dance studio was always one of my favorite things about summer. I remember attending ballet and tap dance camps, and loving every minute! Summer camp activities are a great way to energize yourself and get active.” – Randi, Associate Editor

“One of my best camp memories was with the YMCA. It was held in Balboa Park. I have memories of shooting bow and arrows and learning lots about different cultures. I saw how they made teepees and learned traditional dances. It was a lot of fun.” – Jessica, Director of Business Development

“I attended an art camp in middle school that allowed me to be creative with styles and tools I had never used before. By taking me outside my comfort zone, I learned to be more open to new ways of doing things. To this day I love the challenge of using a new art medium.” – Shyanne, Associate Editor

“Summer camp is the perfect way to discover who you are and what you’re passionate about. When I was a kid, I used to go to Girl Scout horseback riding camps every summer – 15 years later, I spend every weekend at the barn.”

ADMIRABLE FEATS Devon Peterkin is a Modest Yet Extraordinary Volleyball Player by LINDA FRABL | photo by Soul of Photography

D

evon Peterkin, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and senior at La Jolla Country Day School, is an extraordinary volleyball player who has earned major bragging rights for herself. But Devon prefers to modestly thank others for her achievements, and is most comfortable serving others in a humanitarian way. She revealed, “I like to make others happy.” As an official with her school’s Community Service Board, Devon has overseen such events as the Dig for the Cure for Breast Cancer volleyball fundraiser and the Vi at La Jolla Village Assisted Living’s Senior Prom. In addition, she has taught English to children in the Dominican Republic. Devon proclaimed,

“Whether serving food to the homeless, finding homes for neglected animals, or taking the lead to organize an event, I have learned to give of myself. By helping others in need and putting them first, I’ve discovered genuine satisfaction and have become a better person because of it.” As a member of the nationally-recognized WAVE volleyball club in Encinitas, as well as the team captain and MVP for her high school volleyball team, Devon has earned accolades for her skills on the court. She was even selected to play for the All-CIF 1st and All-Coastal 1st teams, and was named a 2015 High School Volleyball Academic All-American by Prepvolleyball.com. Crediting others for her accomplishments, Devon humbly stated, “I would not have received any recognition without my teammates, because it doesn’t take one player to win.” While on the SCVA High Performance volleyball team, Devon was able to play against international teams in Croatia and Italy. Describing the experience, Devon exclaimed, “We scrimmaged with Slovenian and Czechoslovakian teams! Experiencing different cultures has inspired my interest in traveling.” In the fall, Devon will be traveling to Princeton University to play volleyball for the college. She is considering becoming a science major, and hopes to eventually find work in the medical research field. As a member of the Future Doctors of America club at her school, Devon commented, “I enjoy the sciences, such as biology and neuroscience. All of the different body processes and brain functions are extremely interesting, and there is always more to discover.” It is clear that Devon will continue to perform admirable feats, both on the court and off. 

Harry and Kay Leibowitz Dedicate Their Life to Making the World Better for Children by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Soul of Photography

We enjoy Mille Fleurs, Thyme in The Ranch, Café Positano, and the Bridges Club

arry and Kay Leibowitz married 13 years ago at the Hotel Del Coronado, but at the time they were living in Tuscany, Italy and Incline Village, NV. “We decided that we would eventually settle in this area after we sold both of those properties,” recalled the couple. “Now this is our only and permanent home.” The couple was drawn to their Rancho Santa Fe community for its “warm, engaging, and caring” vibes. “We love the fact that this community is composed of a diverse group of people who respect each other and live their lives with a concern for others,” they added. Having concern for others is something very important to Harry and Kay Leibowitz. “In 1996, while recovering from cancer, Harry conceived of a Nobel-like award program for those who dedicate their lives to vulnerable children,” shared Kay. After two years, the first World of Children Award was given out. “Like Nobel and Pulitzer, World of Children Award searches the globe each year to find those amazing people

who have selflessly devoted their lives to vulnerable children,” explained Harry and Kay. “The award identifies and elevates effective child advocates worldwide.” A year after handing out the first award, Harry met Kay and the two became a power couple in child advocacy, dedicating themselves to their philanthropic work. “Today the philanthropy is approaching its 20th anniversary and has benefitted over 30 million children globally,” stated the Leibowitzes, who make it their mission to support these advocates’ work by funding programs, increasing visibility, and offering educational opportunities. Apart from their philanthropic work, Harry and Kay have had extensive careers. Harry, who has a B.A. and M.A. from Brooklyn College in NYC and a Ph.D. from Wayne State University in Detroit, has held executive positions at Procter & Gamble Company and ESMARK, Inc. He is the recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Procter & Gamble Alumni Humanitarian Award, the Wayne

State University Alumni of the Year Award, and many other honors. He also speaks frequently and is published on children’s issues. Kay holds a B.A. from the University of Tampa and has had a 40-year career in fashion merchandising. She had previously served on the board of directors of the major fashion line Coldwater Creek and currently serves on the board of directors of GUESS. But it is clear to see that their hearts belong to the World of Children Award. “The most enjoyable part of this work is actually meeting the children and looking in their eyes and seeing hope,” said the couple. “The most challenging part is that there are so many needs and we have such limited capacity.” Despite its challenges, Harry and Kay are committed to persevering. “We believe that it is not a numbers game. It is about addressing each little child – one little hand by one little hand and one little heart by one little heart – that is how we make the world better for children tomorrow than it was yesterday.” 

About the Chef Submit a rec www.9 2067ma ipe at gazine.c om

Name of Chef: Traci Sally Family: Boyfriend – Brian Hobbies: Experimenting in the kitchen, painting, designing, growing my Etsy store, desert drives, and spending hours at the beach. Favorite Local Activities: Morning walks on the beach, coffee-shop hopping, barre classes, SUP boarding About the Recipe: This recipe was a hybrid creation of mine trying to replicate a healthier version of fried rice combined with my favorite Asian flavors. The term umami means “pleasant savory taste” in Japanese, which perfectly describes this dish. It usually disappears quickly so making a double batch isn’t a bad idea. The ingredients are easily interchangeable to suit different taste preferences or diets. About the Chef: I moved to San Diego from Philadelphia to check living by the ocean off of my bucket list. I currently work as a graphic designer for ZCode and several local businesses. When I’m not sitting in front of a computer, I’m painting or buried in the pages of my sketchbooks planning my next project. I spend half of my time growing my Etsy business and planning pop-up shops in the area, selling prints, and creating on-site watercolor portraits. You can view my current artwork on Instagram – Traci Sally Designs – or visit my Etsy store. I’m blessed to be able to do what I love for a living and share my art with others. ¢

or the McCool family, Rancho Santa Fe is a perfect home base. “We enjoy the outdoor spaces and the physical beauty of the community. We always marvel at the sunsets from our house, the hot air balloons over our backyard on weekends, and the outdoor sports within walking distance of our home,” revealed Meghan. She, her husband Brian, and their three children, Finn, Kate, and Thomas, have immersed themselves in the local community through entertaining friends at their home and activities such as Eagle Scouts, baseball, soccer, and dance.

“Finn is working on his Eagle Scout project and enjoys hiking and volunteering. Kate is active in dance, drama, and lacrosse, and is also on a championship soccer team at SoCal Blues. Thomas plays for San Diego Show baseball club and also enjoys soccer, snowboarding, and skateboarding,” stated Meghan proudly. While they are certainly at home in Rancho Santa Fe, traveling is a true passion for the McCools. They have a house in Lake Tahoe and have been to many parts of the world over the last 15 years. In fact, the McCool children have visited more than 20 countries. “We are a global family. Each country we visit, we participate in a local immersion activity to further their understanding of the world in which we live,” explained Meghan. In 2015, Meghan, the founder of MedFirst, Inc., a critical care medical transport company, was recognized as a San Diego Woman of the Year honoree and was named San Diego Business Journal Healthcare Champion Nurse of the Year. “The Woman of the Year award has allowed me to have a platform to discuss workplace issues, mentorship, and collaborative medicine with many of San Diego’s finest minds. The Nurse of the Year award recognized the clinical aspect of my business and my passion for constantly evolving and improving the medicine in this community,” said Meghan. Brian, who used to watch the F14 take off from Miramar as a child growing up in La Jolla, is a pilot with Southwest Airlines. “I attended UC Boulder and achieved my dream of becoming a fighter pilot. Now as a pilot for Southwest, I enjoy giving back. One of the greatest joys of my job is seeing young kids come to the flight deck,” related Brian. It is safe to say that the McCool family is making their dreams come true while making a difference in the world. 

huck and Gail Kendall have resided in Rancho Santa Fe for 21 years. “We love the casual and friendly attitudes of the residents,” said the couple. “They are caring and always ready to work toward the benefit of the community and charitable causes.” Much like their fellow Rancho Santa Fe neighbors, the Kendalls are passionate about getting involved with their community. One local charity that is particularly dear to their heart is called I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD), a nonprofit that aims to improve and sustain the health and beauty of San Diego. “A close and admired friend and business associate, Bill Haines, is on the board of ILACSD and puts his heart and soul into this program. My great respect for Bill initiated the interest in this substantial organization,” recalled Chuck. As the Kendalls became more involved with the group, they recognized the unwavering dedication of other ILACSD volunteers and employees. “Seeing the professional and caring direction of other employees encouraged me to be further involved with a financial incentive for their educational programs,” Chuck explained. With the Kendalls’ generous donation of $25,000, ILACSD will host an upcoming Matching Funds Campaign coinciding with Earth Month, which will aim to match every one of their donated dollars. “At the end of the campaign, ILACSD, with the community’s support, will have raised an additional $25,000 to connect 30,000 of San Diego’s youth to nature in a way that inspires them to protect it for life,” explained the Kendalls. The Matching Funds Campaign will conclude on April 23 at the Creek to Bay Cleanup – the organization’s signature event. “Historically ILACSD has engaged nearly 6,000 volunteers to clean and beautify over 100 beaches, canyons, and parks across San Diego County,” noted the couple. The Kendalls have always had a passion for volunteerism. In addition to their work with ILACSD, Chuck is a past member of the Library Guild Board, Garden Club Board, and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation Board. He has also supported The Cambridge School, Hillsdale College, and Scripps Hospital Encinitas. “We both value educational pursuits and the Scripps Encinitas Hospital efforts to improve and expand the quality health care they provide to our community and surrounds,” he noted. Gail has been president of Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe for the past four years, and is founder, publicity chair, and board member of Future Legends, Chuck Courtney Honorary Scholarship Fund. She also has a history of volunteer activities with the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club and Ladies Golf Club. “We love this community,” said the Kendalls, “so these volunteer positions are a way to give back.” 


Five Nutrition Myths Busted by CHRISTEN BENKE, D.O.; Scripps Clinic, Del Mar

Don’t let nutrition myths sabotage your health goals, whether those are losing weight, having more energy, or getting more exercise. Don’t eat after 8 p.m. The theory is that you burn up food you eat earlier in the day, while calories eaten at night sit in your system and turn into fat. In reality, calories can’t tell time, and your body uses calories the same way morning, noon, and night. If those late-night calories are not burned while you watch TV or sleep, they will be the next day once you start moving. That said, make sure you are not snacking late at night because you are tired and have mistaken fatigue for hunger. How much you eat and what you eat is far more important than when you eat it. If I exercise, I should take a protein supplement or protein shake. While it is true that when exercising, particularly at a high intensity, you need to

make sure you eat enough protein for your muscles to grow and repair, most people, even athletes, can get all the protein they need by eating sources of lean protein, such as meat, fish, chicken, and dairy products. In some specific instances, protein powders may be useful for an ordinary athlete, such as for a teenager who is growing, when you are recovering from an injury, when you are increasing your workouts (such as training for a half-marathon), or if you are going vegan. Be careful, though, as it doesn’t take much protein to achieve these goals and overloading can be hard on your kidneys and liver.

many of the foods we love contain added sugars, usually to enhance flavor, and these added sugars have been cited as contributors to many health problems. The most common sources of added sugars include soft drinks, cakes, pies, fruit drinks, and chocolate. A rule of thumb is that sugar should always be accompanied by as many nutrients as possible, and added sugar should be avoided.

A gluten-free diet is healthier. Unless you have a legitimate reason to eliminate gluten from your diet, such as celiac disease, you can eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While gluten itself doesn’t offer special nutritional benefits, many whole grains that contain gluten do, so before eliminating gluten, get tested if you think you may have an issue.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are healthier. A vegetarian or vegan diet can certainly be healthy, but it depends on what foods are being eaten. Technically, eating a diet of cheese and chocolate would be vegetarian, but not healthy. Avoiding meat and dairy products eliminates the saturated fat and health issues from overeating fatty meats and high-fat dairy, but vegan and vegetarian diets are only healthier if you replace the meat and dairy with healthy alternatives. What is true of vegetarian and vegan diets is that they are generally environmentally friendly and more sustainable than a diet heavy in meat. ¢

Sugar should not be in my diet. All types of sugar – including fructose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose – are broken down in our bodies into glucose, which our cells use for energy. Some of these sugars, such as fructose and lactose, occur naturally in fruits, vegetables, and other foods. But

LIFELONG WELLNESS Pukka Pilates & Physical Therapy Offers a Total-Body Approach at Their Studios in Carmel Valley and Scripps Ranch by SHYANNE LOPEZ | photos by Tyler McElhaney

W

hether you are training for a sport, rehabilitating from an injury, or looking for overall health and fitness, Pukka Pilates & Physical Therapy offers classes, programs, and seminars that can help clients meet their health and fitness goals faster than ever. Originally established in Scripps Ranch in 2013, the studio’s success has led to the recent opening of a second location in Carmel Valley. The expansion will allow for more community members to benefit from Pukka’s unique programs. Pukka Founder Sharon Manzuk is a licensed physical therapist and Certified Ergonomic Evaluation Specialist who was inspired to open her studio after becoming a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher and personally experiencing the healing benefits of Pilates for her chronic back pain. Sharon, who holds a master’s degree in Physical Therapy, has worked in the healthcare industry for more than 20 years. Together with her staff of PMA Certified Pilates Teachers and licensed physical therapists, Sharon’s method provides a more total-body approach for a client’s health and fitness journey. “As therapists, we utilize our knowledge and highly trained skills to properly diagnose and treat areas of soft tissue and joint dysfunction anywhere in your body,” Sharon explained. “As Pilates practitioners, we focus on the quality of movement and identify areas of decreased muscular control and mobility in need of the Pilates work.”

22 • 92067Magazine.com • March | April 2016

With this unique structure, Pukka stands out as a studio that provides a high level of expertise. This is because there is less room for injury when practicing Pilates with a licensed physical therapist. “Many clients have orthopedic conditions that require exercise adjustments, and as therapists, we are best suited to make those adjustments,” said Sharon. Pukka also provides an intimate experience with their small semi-private class sizes and one-on-one private sessions. In addition to traditional Pilates fitness classes, Pukka holds specialized classes and seminars such as Healthy Back Pilates, Fitness for Golf, Myofascial Stretching classes, Pilates for Parkinson’s Disease, Ergonomics, and more.

All classes and programs can be modified to accommodate clients with various conditions and injuries. A Pukka Pilates & Physical Therapy Teaching Training Program is also offered throughout the year, taught by Sharon herself. The unique combination of services and classes are meeting the needs of a wide group of local residents. From those just starting an exercise program to competitive athletes, Pukka’s experienced therapists and teachers provide clients with individualized attention, the optimal exercise experience, and successful outcomes for a long and healthy life. 

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF CCA and TPHS Rank As Top Schools

Niche, a free online resource for those who need help deciding what communities to live in or what schools to attend, recently released its 2016 list of Best Public High Schools in California. The list ranks the best schools in the state based on test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, teacher quality, student and parent reviews, and more. Local high schools Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) and Torrey Pines High School (TPHS) both managed to claim a spot on the list, which featured more than 17,000 schools. Coming in at number five overall, CCA outranked thousands of other schools with its academics, resources, teachers, and safety, which all received an A grade from Niche. TPHS ranked at 30 on the list, with its academics and teacher quality each receiving an A+. To calculate rankings and grade the schools, Niche obtained their statistics from the U.S. Department of Education. For more information on the list visit www.k12.niche.com.

Petals and Prose Jr.

The RSF Library Guild and RSF Garden Club invite all book lovers ages four to 17 to participate in the community’s first ever Petals & Prose Jr. The event will be held at the RSF Library on Thursday, April 28 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Inspired by the Rancho Days tradition of Petals and Prose, this junior edition event is a great opportunity for kids to create an artistic representation of a book of their choice using items found in nature to capture the spirit of the book. The day of the event, guests will try to correctly match the art displays with the books. The event is sponsored by Plantology Designs, and the winners of the matching game will be provided with Mother’s Day arrangements from the Fairbanks Ranch plantscape company. Those interested in signing up should visit the RSF Children’s Library desk. The library will be accepting entries through April 22, and there is no fee to participate. For more information visit www.rsflibraryguild.org or www.rsfgardenclub.org.

Supportive Housing Bill

Assembly Bill 1500 recently passed unanimously through the State Assembly. The legislation, by San Diego Assemblymember Brian Maienschein, aims to allow local governments to create more housing opportunities for the homeless. “I am pleased that my bill, which would enable cities and counties to plan for the construction of supportive and transitional housing projects, passed the Assembly,” said Maienschein. “Many of our homeless also suffer from some form of mental illness, and these individuals are the ones who have the greatest need for stable housing.” The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that there were 115,738 homeless Californians in 2015 – 21 percent of the homeless population nationwide. Many social service experts in the state advocate housing-first strategy; by offering safe, secure housing, individuals and families are better able to make use of other necessary services and opportunities to get back on their feet.

6th Annual Bags & Baubles

The Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) is now accepting donations of new and gently loved high-end designer handbags, jewelry, accessories, and sunglasses for their 6th Annual Bags & Baubles event, which will take place on Sunday, May 1 at a private Rancho Santa Fe estate. “Donating an item to Bags & Baubles is the perfect way to do a little spring cleaning while simultaneously giving animals in our community a second chance at life,” FACE Executive Director Brooke Haggerty shared. The premier fundraising event of the season, Bags & Baubles brings animal lovers and fashionistas together under one roof to raise money and awareness for local pets in need of critical or life-saving veterinary care. Donated items are fully tax-deductible and will be auctioned to provide grants to local families who are unable to afford the high costs of treatment for their critically injured or sick pets. Over 450 guests attended last year’s event, which raised over $117,000.

RSF Foundation Funds Food Truck for Seniors

Del Mar Pines School’s New Building

Del Mar Pines School, a leading private kindergarten through sixth grade school in Carmel Valley, has announced the completion of its new two-story building. A new building was a longtime dream of school Director Marci McCord. With the help of the Del Mar Pines Foundation for Education, parents, alumni, and the Gallagher family, that dream came true. Funded and built in under a year, the vision for the new building was not to add more students but to offer current students more. “I am very excited about the new opportunities for learning and deeper exploration our students can now benefit from,” said Marci. The campus expansion created a new sixth grade classroom and library. It also made room for a dedicated science and Spanish lab and performing arts room. The school invites prospective families to an open house, campus tour, and breakfast with the school director on March 16. Call 858-481-5615 to RSVP. Learn more at www.delmarpines.com.

Over The Top Tables

In an effort to help provide food security and socialization for vulnerable seniors in three North County communities, the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation (RSFF) is funding an innovative program with the Thyme Together food truck to serve nutritious lunches to seniors five days a week, except holidays, at four mobile home parks and one faith center in San Marcos, Oceanside, and Vista. “We’re providing a mobile senior center,” said Paula Powers, RSF Foundation Grants and Projects Committee Chair and RSF resident. “Our research told us that a lack of adequate transportation would be an obstacle to seniors traveling to a central location for food and socialization, so we’re bringing those necessities to them.” This North County Senior Connections program is a collaboration between many different organizations, including Dreams for Change, Interfaith Community Services, ProduceGood, and the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank. Paula continued, “I am honored to work with the board and staff of the RSF Foundation to provide such an impactful program to meet the needs of the aging population in our neighboring communities.” For more information visit bit.ly/ThymeTogether.

The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center will be holding its annual Spring Luncheon on March 22 at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Attendees can form groups of 10 to 12 and create fabulous tabletop creations to compete for various titles such as Most Elegant, Most Unexpected, Most Amusing, and Most Over the Top. Individual tickets will also be available for those who wish to view the tabletops rather than design them. Guests will be greeted with champagne cocktails and the opportunity to shop a variety of vendors, and will be treated to a talk by guest speaker Kelly Emberg, “The Model Gardener.” All proceeds from the event will benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. To purchase tickets call 858-756-2461 or email kfoley@rsfcc.org. For more information visit www.rsfcc.org.

Bootcamp for the Brain Therapeutic Literacy Center’s Summer Programs Offer Students the Perfect Combination of Cognitive Therapy and Outdoor Exercise by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

“W

hen a child is of average to above average intelligence, yet learning is difficult or homework is a battlefield, then there may be an unidentified weakness in one or more of the underlying learning skills,” stated Maria Bagby, Executive Director of the Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC), an organization renowned for its intensive therapeutic approach to fixing learning problems. “That can change. We do that every day.” During the summer, Maria and her team offer unique programs to help prepare students for success in school the next year. “In some ways, our summers are no different than our school year except we add small groups that master their math facts, handwriting, and other things missed in schools,” explained Maria. Through fun “bootcamps for their brains,” as described by Maria, students can choose to participate in camp at two different levels: one being an intensive therapy to overcome learning challenges and disabilities with a focus on underlying learning skills; and two, a session designed for students strong in their underlying skills but seeking improvement in becoming automatic in math facts, handwriting, and typing. “Everything we do is individualized in structure, and groups are managed by age and activity,” noted Maria.

“Some time is spent one-on-one in specialized brain training activities, and other time is spent in small groups.” This year, their summer programs are geared specifically toward making math facts more automatic so that students can be successful in the Common Core curriculum during the school year. “And there is a huge need for the development of handwriting skills for writing fluency that allows children to have more time and energy to think about their content rather than how to form a letter or correct their pencil grip,” added Maria, who described all of TLC's clinicians as being trained in the underlying skills needed for efficient learning, including working memory, processing speed, and auditory and visual processing related to reading, writing, and math skills. “Success in Common Core demands that these fundamental skills are automatic and the summer provides us opportunity to do that work they don’t have time for during the school year.” Students can enroll in up to eight weeks of a half or full-day program. “If a full-day is chosen, we have lunch and join a Jr. Lifeguards in Solana Beach, or possibly a camp experience at the Ecke YMCA,” said Maria. “The summers afford children more time to both challenge their brains for better learning skills, and to run around with exercise to strengthen their bodies – both are needed for the overall health of a child.” ¢

“Everything we do is individualized in structure, and groups are managed by age and activity.”

STARGAZING IN SAN DIEGO

These Breathtaking Views Will Have You Seeing Stars – Literally by SHYANNE LOPEZ

B

eing surrounded by beaches, beautiful landscapes, and a sprawling city, it's no wonder we tend to keep our eyes focused on what is laid out right in front of us. While known for its sunny and clear skies, come sunset, parts of San Diego's skyline are anything but empty – you just have to look up. For years, the area has attracted professional and amateur astronomers and stargazers alike for the highly accessible view of not just stars but also our own galaxy and nearby planets. In fact, this spring, Mars will be the largest and most clear that it's been in more than a decade. It's the perfect occasion to bring out your inner astronomer. While it's tough to stargaze in highly developed areas, you can view them with ease at various rural locations in and around the county that have remained virtually untouched by city lights. So, if you're interested in catching a glimpse of the cosmos this spring, jump in your car and check out one – or all – of these unique destinations. ¢

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Two hours east of San Diego, you can find California's largest state park. The desert is a hot spot for professional and amateur stargazers due to its seclusion from urban lights. In fact, the park's neighboring town of Borrego Springs was designated in 2009 as the second "Dark Sky Community" in the world by the International Sky Association, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the nighttime environment.

Tierra Del Sol

Julian

Located in southeastern San Diego County is the Tierra Del Sol observing site. Established by the San Diego Astronomy Association (SDAA), the site is home to monthly star parties that are open to the public. Star parties offer visitors the opportunity to observe the sky through professional telescopes, and receive guided viewings from experienced astronomers. Learn more at www.sdaa.org.

Primarily known for its apple orchards, this quaint mountain town actually has night skies dark enough to host the SDAA's annual Julian StarFest each summer. This spring, you can admire and explore their starry skies by checking out nearby campgrounds or parks. If you don't feel like roughing it, the town also boasts its own astronomy-themed bed and breakfast.

Torrey Pines State Reserve While you won't see as many stars from Torrey Pines State Reserve, just north of La Jolla, it offers darker skies than expected and doesn't require a road trip. The beach offers the perfect location to look up at the cosmos, complete with the sound of crashing waves. Torrey Pines stays open until 11 p.m., and since it won't be peak visiting hours, catching road-side parking should be a cinch.


Party Down for Pets!

THE 4TH ANNUAL DOGGIE GRAS RAISES AWARENESS FOR ORPHAN ANIMALS photos provided by HWAC

T

he Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) celebrated its 4th Annual Doggie Gras in early February to support animal rescue in Mardi Gras style. Held for the first time ever at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmer’s Market, the event was bedecked and bejeweled in green, gold, and purple, with New Orleans-style photo backgrounds, Doggie Gras-themed masks, and a parade of pups in Mardi Gras-themed costumes. Attendees also enjoyed a vendor treasure hunt and a competition for Best Doggie Gras float. The

HWAC’s Doggie Gras Parade has become a favorite tradition for Center staff, orphan pets, local friends, and doggie alumni each year.

“We feel very honored to have the support of the Covello Family, who own the Del Rayo Village Shopping Center, and the support of Diane Haworth and Michael Varbaek who own and operate the Rancho Santa Fe Farmer’s Market,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Center Vice President of Development Renee Resko. “The Market has always been a special part of this community and these individuals have made sure our orphan pets are top-of-mind by including them in weekly newsletters, offering us booth space, and making Center donations.” For more information visit www.animalcenter.org. ¢

Real Estate Matters

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN 2016 by SCOTT VOAK

S

an Diego County entered the New Year with the lowest inventory of homes for sale in over 10 years. As of mid-February, that situation remains the same. In San Diego County, the Inland Corridor, and the individual zip codes of the Poway Unified School District, there are fewer homes on the market than any time since early 2004. And, while the new developments in Del Sur and along Black Mountain Ranch are adding more homes for sale, it isn’t any more than developers were selling in 4S Ranch back in 2004, so inventory is really at a decade low. The next question is, “If inventory is the lowest since 2004, why isn’t the market surging higher like it was then?” The answer is twofold: There are not as many buyers and the buyers that are in the market are a lot more cautious than in 2004. Back in 2004, loan requirements were a lot looser and people were buying multiple homes as speculative investments. Now, qualification standards are higher and buyers have lived through the bubble – they are a lot more cautious. The flipside is, at least to date, the falling stock market has not impacted local real estate. The danger here is that people looking to purchase might see their cash fall below down payment requirements. Talking to other agents and escrow officers, this is a big concern, but has not happened in any significant numbers so far. It goes without saying (or should anyway) that if you are looking for a home, the money you plan to use for a down payment should not be in any volatile investment.

For the balance of the year (at least through summer), I think most all factors that affect the market point to a firm market with slowly advancing prices. The number of sales will continue to be lower, which is bad for those associated with the industry, but homeowners should do well and buyers will be able to find deals here and there if they are willing to be flexible with their requirements. ¢
