:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 2, No. 1 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux Creative Director Tyler McElhaney Editor Sarabeth McElhaney editor@zcodemedia.com
Fall is in the Air
I
’m typically a summer guy. I like the warm weather. I like spending time out in the boat. There are the beaches, the parks, hiking, kids are out of school – it’s all good. Summer is usually my favorite time of the year. So why have I spent the last several weeks daydreaming about the arrival of fall? Quite frankly, because it’s been HOT! I guess I’m getting old. Or perhaps I’ve simply turned into a Southern California fair-weather person. Anyone that is close to me knows that I love to wear my shorts and T-shirts. In fact, that is my work attire more days than not. But let’s face it – the August heat has been ridiculous to say the least. The idea of getting back to our 72 degree average daily forecast – along with chilly nights – is quite appealing to me. I can barely wait. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that our kids are now back in school, and our home is getting back into a more realistic schedule with predictable routines. There is a simple feeling of relief that I get knowing that our kids are hard at work in the classroom and not constantly being shuttled around between play dates, camps, and sleepovers. Oh, and the retirement (for the most part) of the repetitive “I’m bored” phrase – gone! Strange how that happens. And did I mention football? Isn’t fall synonymous with football? The temperature cools down for the players on the gridiron – having played many years of football growing up, this must be by design. Derrick Breaux Whether you are a local high school football fan, a college fan, or Publisher a professional football fan, you can’t deny the excitement of the season. Fall is almost here, I’m ready for it. We have some great things planned for the magazine over the next few issues. Be on the lookout for some additional departments and special sections within the pages of 92078 – all designed with you in mind. Thanks for your continued support. Don’t be a stranger. We always welcome feedback, photo submissions, article recommendations, and new ideas. It’s a community thing! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Riding theWave Maya Saulino is a Successful Surfing Competitor in San Marcos by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Dawn at Nicoli Productions
M
aya Saulino has lived in San Marcos for the past nine years, which she loves because her proximity to the beach makes it possible for her to surf nearly every day before school. A competitive surfer since the age of 12, this is welcome practice time for Maya. “My dad introduced me to the sport,” she said. “He got me hooked on surfing by sharing his love of the ocean with me and pushing me into the waves as a little girl.” Maya is a senior at High Tech High North County. “I love my school because our learning is organized around realworld projects and our teachers are creative, passionate, and really connected to the students,” she shared. Her passion for surfing shows itself through her favorite school subject of biology – specifically human anatomy and physiology. She even works as an intern researcher

at CSUSM, conducting research on the biomechanics of surfing. Since High Tech High is too small to field a surf team, she was invited by Coach Randy Walton to join his team at San Marcos High. Maya feels the SMHS Surf Team is filled with talented, supportive, and kind-hearted athletes and coaches. “I am grateful to be a part of this special group of people.” She continued, “Randy and his assistant coach, Jordan Dietze, have offered me tremendous support, guidance, and encouragement.” Her inspiration also comes from her family. She considers twin brother Shea her best friend in the world. Maya’s father takes on many roles in her life as a surf buddy, coach, friend, and role model, and she is forever grateful for his education on surfing and cherishing the ocean. “My mom is one of the most intelligent people I know,” Maya confided. “I constantly look up to her.

Senior Volunteer Patrol
LOCAL SENIORS ARE HAPPY TO HELP THE SAN MARCOS COMMUNITY
T
he San Marcos Sheriff’s Department has an extra team of eyes and ears to help protect and serve the community. The Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) is made up of citizens 50 years and older who donate their time and expertise to provide a number of much-needed services. SVP members drive through San Marcos on the alert for unattended valuables, unusual activity in residential neighborhoods, and pets or children left unattended in cars. When they see something that needs action, they either call for a sheriff’s deputy to handle the situation or, for more minor concerns, talk to the citizen involved. “In fact this program has been particularly effective in reducing the number of thefts from parked vehicles at the various shopping centers in San Marcos,” said SVP member Michael Flitterman.
The SVP runs the You Are Not Alone program. “Members of the SVP, when requested, will either stop by or call anyone who is homebound and can benefit from a short daily visit with a trained Senior Patrol member to just say hello and also to see that all is well,” said Michael. SVP members are also happy to check on homes while owners are on vacation. The San Marcos SVP is currently open to volunteers and Michael noted that the San Diego Sheriff Stations in Vista and Encinitas are in search of volunteers as well. San Marcos residents ages 50 and older who would like to join the SVP and give back to the community are welcome to contact Michael Flitterman at 760-216-2527 or Mike Gardiner at 760-510-5291.

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD
A CREATIVE LIFE PAVEL SFERA’S STORY REACHES FAR BEYOND HIS ROCK STAR PERSONA by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Dawn at Nicoli Productions
A
t first glance, Pavel Sfera’s appearance reveals a small part of his story. The San Marcos resident has been performing as an impersonator of U2’s lead singer, Bono, for 15 years, but the rest of his life story isn’t quite as obvious. The Yugoslavia-born, LA-raised rock star impersonator was originally on a much different career path. After earning his B.A. and interning as a city planner in San Diego, Pavel realized he needed to “sow his creative seeds.” Since then he’s held many positions but is always drawn back to the creative life. Today Pavel is an entertainer, photographer, artist, and humanitarian. Pavel is one of 11 children and arrived in the U.S. at the age of four. His father’s life and work have been a major influence. “He was such an honest, old-fashioned, simple, hard-working guy that really had almost no real personal life or identity outside the couple of dedications to his day-to-day living,” Pavel acknowledged. While his father hoped his son would follow a traditional and practical calling, Pavel admitted, “I found myself questioning what my contributions were to my life and life itself. And I’d have to say: music.” Pavel’s music is only one way he serves others; he is also a committed volunteer for humanitarian organizations. Over the years he has volunteered in a variety of capacities, including translator and music therapist for handicapped orphans in Romania. But his experience in Mexican orphanages has defined his focus today. “I was spending thousands of dollars out of my own pocket to fill the pantry shelves of some of these places. I needed to be more utilitous with my resources. I saw money as a resource, but applying the principles of ‘teaching a man how to fish’ stood out,” Pavel said. In the last four years, his service has centered on teaching sustainable living practices. “I’ve immersed myself with learning much about sustainable living via aquaponics, soil conditioning, vermiculture, homesteading, etc., so that I can build and teach how to maintain these systems in areas where resources are scarce and expensive,” Pavel explained. Settling in San Marcos this year has created the perfect home base for Pavel’s diverse and creative work. He appreciates his work space and garden, as well as the region’s open spaces and approachable people. “Coming here to San Marcos has allowed me to open up to projects and feeling like I belong.” Name: Profession: Community: Interests:
Favorite Local Spots:

New Charity Wings Art & Craft Center LOCAL NONPROFIT MOVES TO NEW LOCATION AT CSU SAN MARCOS
T
he nonprofit Charity Wings Art & Craft Center recently moved to a new location – The Quad at CSU San Marcos. The move has been in the works since January and the Charity Wings team is excited about being better able to fulfill the community’s creative needs as well as being more accessible to CSUSM students. “I believe in art as a healing tool and that creative outlets should be available to everyone,” shared Founder and Executive Director Elena Lai Etcheverry. “My vision for the new space is that people will walk in and see inspiration everywhere; that they will see a piece of artwork or a supply or tool and think, ‘I want to learn how to use that or make that.’” The center has an open studio and classes and even offers free art classes for nonprofit organizations. The new center has electric
pottery wheels for people who want to learn to throw clay or hand-build. For those looking to explore other media, there’s a sewing studio, a mixed media and scrapbooking studio, and a jewelry-making and metal-smithing studio. The new location also has an ADA bathroom, is air conditioned, and features large windows. Charity Wings is currently looking for volunteers and interns to help with operations and teach nonprofit or public classes. Charity Wings was founded as Scrapbook Royalty in 2005 and took on the new name in 2011 when the nonprofit began focusing on a wider range of arts. The organization has raised more than $300,000 over the years to support dozens of worthy causes. Learn more at www.charitywings.org. ¢

Tess is the former executive director of Cardiff 101 Main Street Association and led the nonprofit from a grassroots program to a state-certified Main Street organization. She brings a wealth of experience and energy to her new role. “We searched far and wide for the right person to step into this important role,” said City Manager Jack Griffin. “In Ms. Radmill, I believe we have found someone who understands the San Marcos vision – economic development that is good for our residents and good for our economy – and has the talent and skillset to help get us there.” Radmill began her new job at the end of August. She shared, “San Marcos has truly been innovative and embraces an entrepreneurial spirit that is unique. I am excited to be a part of the many upcoming projects that will shape the San Marcos Community for years to come.”
Community Grants
The San Marcos Community Foundation recently awarded $11,452 to organizations that serve the local community.

Learn more at www.sanmarcoscommunityfoundation.org.
City Plans Water-Wise Transformation
The City of San Marcos is doing its part to save water during the ongoing drought by redoing the Civic Center front lawn along San Marcos Boulevard. The high-maintenance turf, currently brown, will be replaced with native mowfree grass, bull muhly grass, octopus agave, yellow blanket flowers, and blue chalk sticks for a new water-wise aesthetic. The new landscape will be irrigated with well water, with higher-efficiency drip emitters and spray nozzles also being added. The project, funded in part by the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act, is predicted to reduce water use by over 50 percent, as well as minimizing run-off. Work on the transformation is expected to begin in November. Communications Officer Sarah Macdonald shared, “Knowing that we are facing an unprecedented drought, this project is helping the city be good stewards of all our water resources.” Learn more at www.san-marcos.net/savingh20.
Tackling Domestic Violence
After a year of partnership, San Diego Charger Eric Weddle and Evolution Lighthouse co-founders Patrick Pickford and Gerly Noland are proud of the impact their collaboration has had on the lives of people affected by domestic violence. They’re also excited to unveil their new 2015 line of Chargers-themed jewelry for fans, with every purchase helping Alliance for Hope support victims and their children. The theme for the line is #WearTheSpotlight. “We love the difference we can make in the lives of children and adults,” said Eric. “Seeing their smiles and breaking them out of a horrible situation is what it’s all about. Everyone deserves a life without domestic violence.” Patrick added, “Eric has been my friend for a number of years, and when domestic violence took over the NFL headlines last year, we immediately started talking about what should be done and what could be done.” Learn more and see the collection at www.evolutionlighthouse.com.

C
athedral Catholic High School’s (CCHS) core values of faith, knowledge, character, and responsibility have guided the development of high-achieving, well-rounded leaders for over 50 years. The CCHS legacy has deep roots, though the name is only 10 years old. Cathedral Girls High School merged with University San Diego High School (UNI) in 1970 on UNI’s Linda Vista Campus. UNI transitioned to the current CCHS Campus in Carmel Valley in 2005 and took on the new name of Cathedral Catholic High School. “No
matter what campus you were on, once you become a Don, you’re always a Don,” said CCHS President Mr. Stevan Laaperi. “The Dons’ legacy has never been stronger. Over 80 alumni are among the CCHS team of administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff.” The professional staff is well qualified to uphold that legacy. Most teachers have a master’s degree or higher in the subject they teach, and the entire staff strives to model the values of a Catholic faith community. The school is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and holds membership with

the College Board. “In partnership with parents, we form an educational ministry that is mutually supportive and a community committed to excellence,” said Principal Mr. Kevin Calkins. “It is our intent that our graduates carry a spirit of intellectual curiosity and a love of learning on their continuing journey of personal and spiritual growth.” Over 1,600 students are currently beginning that journey on the dynamic CCHS campus. Facilities include 75 classrooms, 12 science labs, two computer labs, a robotics lab, a ceramics studio, a music room, a lecture hall, several special-use classrooms, world-class athletic facilities, a SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams. “Whether you are an athlete, love to act, or have a passion for serving others, at Cathedral Catholic you gain the confidence to make a difference not only in your life but in the world around you,” said Kate, a student in the Class of 2017. Nicole, a recent graduate, agreed: “There is an unparalleled wealth of opportunities, and a strong support system in the students and faculty as part of the Catholic community.” The broader community is invited to cheer on the Dons at their homecoming football game on Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m., or discover more at the CCHS Open House on Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Later that night, enjoy a rousing Cathedral Cabaret performance at 7 p.m. The CCHS drama department will present Midsummer/Jersey Nov. 13 through 15. ¢

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 floral, fauna, and fun. From fall festivals to its annual holiday gift to the community, Garden of Lights, the Garden has something for locals 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 Botanical 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 QG Foundation 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 once a month on Monday mornings at 8 a.m., docentled 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-to-date schedule of classes.

Throughout the year the Garden offers a wide variety of interactive, fun, educational, and family-friendly events. “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

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 heartwarming 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 adjacent to the gift shop. 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. “We are grateful to Supervisor Dave Roberts and our friends at the County for their generous support, which will enable us to add this much-needed 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.

LOVING LIFE WITH THE VILLAROUEL-HUEYS IN SAN ELIJO HILLS by LAINEY KRAL | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
T
he Villarouel-Hueys moved to San Elijo Hills three years ago, and husband Brett, wife Terri, and sons Brandin and Bryce have loved every minute of their time in the welcoming community. “We moved here for the school district, the family atmosphere, and the trails and parks,” explained Terri. The native of Colebrook, CT quickly found a local stroller strides group meeting at San Elijo Park, and many of the women she met there are now close friends. She confirmed, “It was a great way to meet people upon moving to the community.” She shared that the life here in the Hills reminds her of her hometown back east. “We love the town center,” she said. “It has a quaint feeling with the local shops and restaurants.” Brett, on the other hand, grew up on a farm in Fresno where his family owned thoroughbred horses. He later played volleyball at UC Davis and coached

for the University of Colorado women’s club team and the Solana Beach Volleyball Club. They met in Carlsbad when they both worked for Nordson Corporation. “We were friends for 10 years before getting married,” said Terri. She has since taken time off to become a stay-athome mother, and Brett still works for Nordson as senior manager responsible for global continuous improvement in New Product Development. He leads and trains development teams around the world. Terri added, “Brett is an inventor named on several U.S. patents in the field of semiconductor packaging.” Like his mom, 15-year old Brandin was born in Connecticut, where he attended a school with only 200 students in grades K-8. When he enrolled at Rancho Carillo Elementary his number of classmates more than quadrupled to over 900 students in K-5, and he’s adjusted well to the broader diversity of experiences. Brandin is currently a sophomore at San Marcos High School. “He enjoys playing basketball and taking care of his four lizards,” said Terri. Three-year-old Bryce attends The Academy of Bright Horizons Preschool. He likes being outside, and favorite destinations include hiking at Double Peak and taking trips to the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Terri said, “Animals are his favorite right now. Especially elephants!” They stay active as a family, enjoying trips to the beach in addition to the hikes and safaris. It’s easy to see why Terri concludes, “Living in San Elijo Hills has been amazing.”

:::: COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER Through Her Work with This Life-Changing Program, Barbara Nyegaard is Making a Difference by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Dawn at Nicoli Photography
A
SECOND CHANCE
s CEO of ERISS Corporation, Barbara Nyegaard has more than 20 years of experience working with the U.S. Department of Labor and various federal grant programs and has served hundreds of workforce organizations across the nation. She is using her vast expertise to volunteer for Second Chance, an organization that creates opportunities for people to transform their lives. “Second Chance has programs that provide job readiness and life skills training, along with job placement, mental health and prisoner re-entry services, relapse prevention, and sober-living housing for adults and youth in need. Second Chance fosters behavioral changes that promote personal responsibility, healthy relationships, and positive contributions to society,” explained Barbara. Barbara is a member of the board of directors of Second Chance and is deeply committed to the organization’s mission. “As a board member, you must have a passion for the mission of the organization. You also must provide oversight of all activities, make decisions in the best interest of the organization and ensure the organization obeys all applicable laws in its operations,” stated Barbara. Although she finds many aspects of volunteering for Second Chance fulfilling and rewarding, she is most proud of her company assisting with software implementation for the organization and helping the staff review and hone their operational processes. A San Elijo Hills resident, Barbara loves the area for its familyfriendly atmosphere, great hiking trails, and close proximity to the beach. Barbara is an avid hiker and practices yoga and meditation. She is a practitioner of mindfulness and Buddhism, both of which she became involved with after her divorce as a way to transition smoothly into a new life. Barbara is also dedicated to her family. “I believe in the strength of family and feel blessed and grateful for my own family. Family is what many of the folks going through Second Chance don’t have, so having caring people support you through your transition is extremely important,” related Barbara. She revealed that although she is divorced, she and her ex-husband are very close and still work together. Barbara also has two daughters and one granddaughter with whom she enjoys spending time. According to Barbara, while it may surprise some, she was once a professional dancer back in her native Australia with a group called the Rudas Dancers. “The Rudas Dancers were quite a well-known global acrobatic and dance group in the day,” said Barbara with a smile.

Pediatric Dentistry of San Marcos
Leaders in the Field – Paving the Way with Gentle Pediatric Dental Care
“Our goal is to provide the best pediatric dentistry in the most gentle and safest way for your child. We are here to relieve the stress of coming to the dentist for both children and their parents.”
by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos provided by Pediatric Dentistry of San Marcos
D
r. Nadia Bala and Dr. Greg Allen met while attending the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. “We decided to pursue dentistry because we enjoy providing comfortable care for our patients and love to change their perceptions of dentistry,” shared Dr. Bala and Dr. Allen. Flash forward to the present day and the married couple, who are both board certified pediatric dental specialists, run their own practice – Pediatric Dentistry of San Marcos. “This office is the product of our years of experience working with children and the desire for us to practice in a family-centered, trustworthy environment where our patients and parents feel like family,” said the doctors. The practice offers such services as infant and pediatric dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatment, cavity risk assessment, and an emphasis on preventative care. “A lifetime of good oral health starts with the first tooth and we are especially trained to manage complex pediatric dental conditions as they grow and change,” added Dr. Bala and Dr. Allen, who are also prepared to treat children with special needs and provide sedations for anxious patients. They also have extensive hospital training in trauma and emergency management. The doctors stay current by maintaining active memberships in multiple dental organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, San Diego County Dental Society, and the California Society of Pediatric Dentistry. “All
of these organizations provide continuing education on the newest topics and technology available in pediatric dentistry,” elaborated Dr. Bala and Dr. Allen. “Additionally, we have specifically chosen the most up-to-date and state-of-the-art technology in our practice, including digital radiography, intraoral cameras, and fluorescence dental imaging for detecting decay.” In their time away from their private practice, Dr. Bala and Dr. Allen serve the community by treating underprivileged children at a clinic near the U.S.-Mexico border. “We both continue to actively teach and lecture to residents at Rady Children’s Hospital,” added the doctors, “where we have volunteered our time with children who have cleft lip and palate, special needs children, and children undergoing chemotherapy.” They also give presentations on proper dental hygiene to students at various San Marcos and Escondido schools, and are proud sponsors of the after-school sports program at San Elijo Middle School. Additionally they have sponsored a San Marcos Youth Soccer League team and the Mission Hills High School tennis team among other sports teams. When asked what makes their practice stand out among others in the industry, Dr. Bala and Dr. Allen replied: “Our office is here to help relieve the stress of coming to the dentist for children as well as their parents. This will help promote the formation of healthy dental habits throughout life. Patients who develop a fear of the dentist at an early age are much less likely to seek preventative care versus seeking care only when experiencing dental discomfort.” ¢

Staying Healthy This Fall by ROBIN ROBERTSON, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Carlsbad
Don’t put your well-being on the back burner as the days get shorter and the temperature cooler. Stay motivated and healthy this autumn by making the most of the season. Keep your mind sharp, decrease stress, and maintain your mental health. Learning new skills can positively affect well-being, so sign up for that course you’ve been meaning to take, cook up some new recipes, learn a language, or even rediscover an old hobby that is challenging and enjoyable, such as building model airplanes or sketching. To help manage stress and relieve daily anxiety try a meditation class. There are many ways to meditate, so you may want to experiment with different methods. Avoid unconscious eating. Watching football and the new TV fall lineup is not an excuse to eat a whole bag of potato chips or an extra-cheese pizza. Pre-measure exactly what you want to eat in the kitchen before settling on the couch, and enjoy the bounty of fall. Apples, pears, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and pumpkin are low in calories and loaded with nutrients. Get your flu shot. Flu season can start as early as October, so protect
yourself and your family by getting vaccinated. In addition, when you cough or sneeze cover your mouth and nose, and stay home if you are sick. Check with your doctor’s office for a flu clinic near you. Tailgate Lite. Football season can add pounds fast. To avoid the fall 15, switch out those burgers and chicken wings for grilled kabobs with veggies, fruits, and lean meat. Try seafood, salsa, wraps, and stews as well, and don’t overindulge in alcohol. Enjoy your favorite brew, but trade it in for less caloric beverages as the game continues. Keep moving. With fewer outdoor options for physical activities in the evening, make adjustments to ensure you keep moving. Join a gym or a fall sports league, plan evening walks at the mall, or become an early riser. Take advantage of fun outdoor activities while the sun is out. Try apple picking, chasing your kids around the corn maze, or cleaning up the yard. Wash your hands. Make sure your family knows the importance of washing their hands. It’s like a do-it-yourself vaccine and one of the best things we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading germs to others. Take charge of your medical health. Fall is a good time to get a handle on your personal health care. Keep track of any medical issues, and if you want to change your doctor now is the time. Schedule your annual physical if needed, and wellness visits for your family. ¢
Robin Robertson, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Carlsbad. Dr. Robertson enjoys building a relationship with whole families – treating newborns to grandparents. She has expertise in pediatric and adolescent medicine and women’s health issues. When not seeing patients, Dr. Robertson surfs, snowboards, plays tennis, and travels.

N
orth County Women’s Specialists (NCWS), formerly known as the Escondido OB-GYN Medical Group, was founded in 1965, when the northernmost areas of San Diego had only a few physicians that specialized in women’s medicine. Dr. Brano Cizmar, a co-owner of NCWS, commented, “At that time, women’s healthcare was delivered primarily by general practitioners. One of the motivations of our group was to create a culture which would offer women in North County more options for their care with regard to physician training and personalities.” NCWS provides every type of women’s medical service you can imagine (e.g., gynecology, urogynecology, labor and delivery, menopausal health, complex endometriosis, and even weight loss and cosmetic services). This particular medical group also prides itself on being the forerunner for women’s health in North County, and the physicians are on the cutting edge of new advancements. For example, NCWS provides the Essure sterilization technique as an office visit, which minimizes the risks associated with anesthesia and a hospital stay. Its physicians are also highly trained in the latest minimally invasive procedures, including robotic surgery.
Dr. Josue Leon stated, “All of our providers conduct regular maintenance of their medical education requirements to ensure that the care given to our patients is current and in alignment with up-to-date medical practices.” This medical group is mindful, however, of not jumping on the latest fad if it is deemed too problematic. Dr. Leon added, “All decisions taken by the group are taken with consideration of their ethical repercussion. If a particular practice is lucrative but ethically questionable we simply do not endorse it.” NCWS will be moving to the new state-ofthe-art facilities at Palomar Medical Center, and all surgeries will be conducted at this hospital. Dr. Cizmar said, “NCWS are committed to maintaining a physician at the hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This promotes a safer environment for all the group’s patients.” Even though the NCWS staff is quite diverse in their training and philosophy, the practitioners still participate in monthly meetings to make sure that the patient care is integrated. Dr. Leon proclaimed, “The fact that NCWS has its doors open to all backgrounds of women keeps it well-versed in the current cultural changes in the United States and allows women from all walks of life to be assured of the best quality of care available.” ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Thinking About Solar? Knowledge is Power! A
hot issue that homeowners frequently ask about is whether or not to add solarelectric systems to their homes. What are some factors that homeowners should consider when making a decision to add solar? “Are government rebates still available?” Many California rebate programs through the California Solar Initiative (CSI) have been exhausted, but the federal tax credit of 30% for purchased solar-energy systems has been extended through Dec. 31, 2016. “Does solar add or detract value from a resale home?” Purchased solar-electric
systems do add value to a home, but in much the same way as a swimming pool does – with the added benefit of providing virtually free electricity. As with a pool, you won’t necessarily recoup the full cost when selling, but it is likely your home will have the marketing advantage over other, non-solar homes. No matter what you do, the power is in your hands – and knowledge is power! Please contact Carol Sayles if you would like more information on ways to increase your home’s value or if you would like a free Comparative Market Analysis on your home.
