Don’t Blink
ASSO C IATE E DI TO R S
Lainey Kral Randi Cantrell Shyanne Lopez
I
’ve always had this strange relationship with time – more specifically, time passing. Of course, I realize that I’m aging each year as I roll past the day that my mother brought me into this world, but I’ve never felt like I was getting any older. I realize that my body is starting to feel older, and for some reason I don’t have as much hair as I once did (according to the mean photos that people have taken of me showing the back of my head). On the other hand, it’s definitely easier to grow facial hair these days – even those special blonde ones that my wife insists are actually grey, but that’s an ongoing debate and still inconclusive. Forget the physical aspects of age. I still feel young mentally – most of the time. While enjoying every last day as I approach the threshold of 43 years, I suddenly felt old this morning. It was an unexpected feeling, but I suppose it should have been predictable. Today, my youngest, my little sweet pea, my little Audrey Becca jumped onto a bus and headed out to sixth grade camp with her friends and classmates. This makes me sad. No, not because I have separation anxiety or I’m afraid that she will be homesick (I’m sure she is going to have a blast and everyone will be just fine – parents included). I’m sad because the years have gone by way too fast. My wife and I have a junior in college. She went to sixth grade camp nine years ago. Our seventh grade son went to camp last year. I was fine with both going. Today is different. Today is a humbling reminder that my little girl is charging life at a faster pace than I am prepared for. I remember some advice that my uncle once told me when talking about life and raising kids. He said, “Don’t blink... because you are going to open your eyes one day and your kids are going to be all grown up. It goes by fast. Cherish every minute.” Derrick Breaux I MUST HAVE BLINKED! Make no mistake about it, I’m Publisher trying not to blink again any time soon. I will take that great advice and do my best to cherish every minute moving forward.

oving from Dallas, TX, in the sixth grade, San Marcos High School Junior Lauren Lukehart enjoys living in North County because of the diversity. “There are so many different types of people each with her own experience,” she smiled, “that I can learn from.” The different groups on campus all come together by ‘Bleeding Blue’ and showing their Knight Pride, and Lauren dove in head first, establishing herself as a campus leader. Lauren used to be a self-described shy peoplepleaser, but the move to California helped her learn

Her educational involvements include things such as JV and Varsity tennis, founder and president of the Controversial Issues Club, Link Crew Participant and now commissioner, plus member of World Citizen’s Club and Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. She is the Junior Class President and chair of four ASB programs: Knights be Nice, Homecoming, Winter Formal, and Giving Tree. The community also receives much TLC from Lauren Lukehart. She's a two-year participant in HOBY,
(Hugh O’Brien Youth) a youth volunteer and service organization that’s been around since 1958. As a result of being a 2016 HOBY Ambassador, Lauren began trying an assortment of volunteer work. She is a CADA (Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse), a JDRF, and a Vista Homeless Shelter Solutions for Change volunteer, among others. “I am most passionate about ACEing Autism,” she explained, “in which I work with autistic children and teach them how to play tennis, while also working on social skills.” Her HOBY Counselor, Sara Anassori, inspires her due to an overwhelming compassion for everyone she meets, coupled with a desire to help everyone that she can. “She is also one of the happiest people I have ever met,” Lauren affirmed. When it’s class time, her favorite is AP Lit, because not only does the teacher make the class Lauren used to be a enjoyable, but she flat-out enjoys self-described shy literature and finding out the deeper meaning behind novels and poems. people-pleaser, but Due to her thorough enjoyment of the move to California ASB leadership and event planning, Lauren would love to become a helped her learn more business event planner. “I am a self-confidence and very passionate person, I never do anything a little bit, and I always assertiveness. give everything 100 percent.” Lauren’s own diverse experiences as a San Marcos Knight and in the surrounding community make this Student Star someone we all can learn from.

Experienced Leadership
VALLECITOS WATER DISTRICT APPOINTS NEW GENERAL MANAGER
T
he Vallecitos Water District (VWD) has named Glenn Pruim as its new general manager. He replaces Dennis O. Lamb, who retired last June. “We are excited to have Glenn join us,” said VWD Board President Mike Sannella. “After a nationwide search we selected the ideal candidate: a general manager with skills in drinking water, desalinated water, recycled water, and wastewater collection – and also one who knows and understands California’s water woes as well as the local North County community.” Glenn received both his bachelors and Masters of Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois. A registered engineer in civil and mechanical engineering, he has an extensive background in public works, engineering, and water and wastewater operations. During his 10 years at the City of Carlsbad, he served as city engineer,
public works director, and general manager/utilities director of the City’s subsidiary, Carlsbad Municipal Water District. He also functioned as lead negotiator with Poseidon Resources and the San Diego County Water Authority for the Carlsbad Desalination Project. More recently, Glenn worked for the City of Encinitas and San Dieguito Water District as public works director/ general manager. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to join Vallecitos as the general manager,” Glenn said. “In my previous positions with Carlsbad and Encinitas, I have worked side by side with Vallecitos on water and wastewater issues and have always been impressed by their leadership and professionalism. I’ve also been a Vallecitos customer for the past 14 years and have received excellent service.” Learn more at www.vwd.org.

Honored for Excellence
CSUSM PROFESSOR RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS WANG FAMILY AWARD
C
alifornia State University San Marcos (CSUSM) psychology professor Keith Trujillo has been recognized with the prestigious 2017 Wang Family Excellence Award in the category of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Service. “It’s an incredible honor,” Keith said. “I work with some extraordinary people here at Cal State San Marcos and in the entire California State University system, and this award could have gone to any number of people who are deserving. So, I feel this is more of a recognition of the work we all do, rather than an individual award.” The California State University’s Board of Trustees honored Keith at its Jan. 31 meeting in Long Beach. Keith’s areas of expertise are psychopharmacology and neuroscience, with his current research focusing on the behavioral and neurobiological effects of psychoactive drugs.

The Rowe Family Finds Their Home in Twin Oaks
F
or the Rowe family, a life on the move had been the norm for many years. But that all changed four years ago when the Rowes moved into the Twin Oaks community. “It’s the best of both worlds, conveniently close to stores and school but far enough out to feel like we are in the country,” explained Emily and Pat Rowe. The decision to live in the pastoral setting started simply enough – with a single baby chick. Emily explained, “Before our current house we lived in suburbia. Then one day, our oldest daughter, Lauren, brought a baby chick home. That

started it all – everybody wanted their own chick.” The progression moved from a chicken coop to a new house in the country, which now includes 5 horses, 16 chickens, 9 rabbits, 2 goats, and a dog. “The moral of the story – be prepared for unintended and wonderful new horizons when bringing home a single pet!” Emily said. Emily and Pat originally met in college at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The couple served overseas together in 1996 as part of the Bosnia peacekeeping effort. Today, they have three daughters – Lauren, 14, Jessica, 12, and Elise, 10. The girls attend the Classical Academy in Escondido and are involved with the Inland Coastal Aquatic Club and the Classical Academy musical theater. As a family, they love riding their horses in the parks and reserves across Southern California. Pat actually grew up as a cowboy on a working cattle ranch in Alabama. The girls are embracing the culture and have started their own custom leather and horseshoe art business, Rowe Leatherworks, using the same leatherworking kit their father had as a child. In addition to their time on horses, the family also loves skiing and “watching survival shows on TV on Saturday nights over popcorn and homemade ice cream,” Emily said. The Twin Oaks trail network and ability to own a few acres may have initially drawn the Rowe family to 92078, but it’s the community that keeps them grounded there. Emily and Pat shared, “We are fortunate to have a great group of neighbors where everyone is always willing to help out, everything from offering a helping hand and advice with an injured animal to helping out when bad weather strikes.”

Combine all ingredients in your blender or food processor. Include half of your 1/3 cup blueberries in the blender mixture, and put the rest aside for now. Blend ingredients until your mixture is the consistency of a thick batter. If your blender or food processor has a “batter” option, use that. Otherwise 30 seconds is probably sufficient. Spray your pan lightly and pour your batter into the pan. Sprinkle in a few of your remaining blueberries into the pancake batter, but be sure to save some for your second pancake. Cook on medium heat for approximately 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on your pancake, checking every few minutes for a golden brown bottom. With a spatula, flip when ready. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for your second pancake. Once ready, plate your delicious creation and marvel at your new breakfasting skills. Optional: top your pancakes with peanut butter (my favorite) or (the more traditional option) maple syrup.

healthier or macro-friendly alternatives to my favorite foods. I adapted this recipe from somewhere long ago, but have changed it so much over time that I now consider it my own. It’s easy to make and can be changed according to the season – skip the blueberries and add pumpkin puree instead, if that’s your jam. While they may not be like any pancake you’re used to, I think you’ll enjoy what they bring to the table. Perfect as a pre-workout breakfast! ABOUT THE CHEF: A San Diego native and word lover since birth, I think it’s pretty great that I get to spend my weekdays learning about the amazing residents of North County and spotlighting them in our ZCode’s community magazines.

Girl Scout Cookie Season is Here
Hospice of the North Coast (HNC) has created a Global Partnership (GP) with Nkhoma Hospital in Malawi, Africa in an effort to respond to the desperate need for improved access to professional, compassionate hospice and palliative care. A four-person HNC team led by Executive Director Sharon Lutz traveled to Malawi in January to assess how Nkhoma Hospital provided care to more than 200 patients in remote villages. “We call our project ‘Mission Possible’ because we fervently believe we can and will make a difference,” said Lutz. Furthermore, the GP represents a symbiotic relationship that will enhance and enrich HNC’s home community here in San Diego. Professionals and volunteers from each entity will complement each other in their approach to treating the terminally ill. “Through the resourcefulness of the Nkhoma Hospital staff and the developing palliative team,” Lutz said, “we can problem-solve together. Their creativity in managing symptoms will be a learning experience for HNC that will benefit our staff, clients, families, and the community at large.” Learn more at www.hospicenorthcoast.org.
Our friendly neighborhood Girl Scouts are gladly helping residents stock up on America’s iconic confection – Girl Scout cookies! Offerings include brand new varieties such as the Girl Scouts S’mores and returning favorites Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, and Tagalongs. All proceeds from each $5 box stay local to help fund Girl Scout activities and programs. For example, local troops funded an overnight adventure at the Living Coast Discovery Center where they learned about protecting endangered species and the environment. Under the guidance of troop leaders, the girls also used cookie earnings for community service projects. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls gain key skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. They also help serve the military by inviting customers to donate cookies to Operation Thin Mint. For more information visit www.sdgirlscouts.org.
VWD Declares Drought Over The Vallecitos Water District (VWD) Board of Directors voted to rescind the voluntary drought restrictions under its Level 1 Drought Watch in late February. VWD customers may now irrigate any day of the week with no limit on the number of watering days or watering time. “Due to the record-setting winter precipitation in the Northern Sierra, coupled with heavy local rainfall and a significant snowpack in the upper Colorado River basin, we are able to rescind Drought Response Level 1 – Drought Watch,” said Vallecitos Board President Craig Elitharp. “We applaud our customers’ efforts to conserve water and encourage them to continue to use water efficiently at all times.” VWD’s resolution was taken in response to the San Diego County Water Authority’s action in late January, declaring the drought over in San Diego County.

the exact locations for treatment. It’s a precise roadmap empowering surgeons to provide targeted treatment with smaller incisions, lower complication rates, less radiation, reduced pain, and faster recoveries. As the West Coast training center for the Mazor, Tri-City is one of the top sites for the system nation-wide. Orthopedic surgeons Dr. Neville Alleyne and Dr. Payam Moazzaz have performed over 700 Mazor spine surgeries at Tri-City.

L
ittle Rookies and AllStar Baseball and Softball camps offer boys and girls ages 4 to 12 the ultimate training environment. Baseball and softball programs are divided into age and skill divisions for the best individual experience. The Little Rookies division serves ages 4 to 6, and AllStar Baseball and Softball serves ages 7 to 12. Full-day, half-day, and extended options are available to fit any family schedule at locations throughout San Diego. “My goal is for each player to first have an enjoyable experience, learn all the great fundamentals of the game the right way, and round themselves out to become the complete player by playing in a live game each day,” said Coach Kurtis Swanberg. The owner of Little Rookies, Coach Kurtis has 30 years of experience as a professional youth coach. Young players learn the fundamentals with state-of-the-art equipment – hitting and throwing nets, baseball and softball pitching machines, portable pitching mounds, a 60 by 15-foot batting cage, and more. Mornings are devoted to station drills, and every afternoon is a chance to put those fundamentals into practice with daily live games. The team spirit and camaraderie solidify the experience. “The players and families look forward to summer camp every year, and it’s a big reunion of players, friends, families, and coaches,” said Coach Kurtis. “It’s amazing to see the kids’ growth each summer as they move up in divisions.”
A number of those kids have grown up to great professional success. “I have 37 kids from programs playing pro baseball, and last year Mickey Moniak from La Costa, who played travel ball with me for three years, was the number one pick in the Major League draft,” said Coach Kurtis. As Brad Ausmus, Manager of the Detroit Tigers, put it, “Coach Kurtis teaches each student valuable fundamental work that connects them to the game and creates super confidence in all as they learn under him. They graduate from the clinics at a much higher level of ball.” On and off the field, safety is the number one priority. Shade, sunscreen, and water are provided at each field and break area, and the check-in and check-out system ensures safety at the beginning and end of the day. “I go all-out to give the kids the best of everything, and that’s why they come back over and over,” said Coach Kurtis. Beyond summer vacation, AllStar Baseball and Softball Academy and Little Rookies T-Ball, Pitching Machine, and Softball School are year-round training schools, with six eight-week sessions a year. Coach Kurtis also offers Little Rookies Youth Sports – arena soccer, baseball, softball, t-ball, basketball, and flag football classes for ages 2 to 8.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
YOUTH SOCCER
VO L U N T E E R Wayne Marking Gives His All for San Elijo AYSO by LINDA FRABL | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography
W
ayne Marking, a resident of San Marcos for 28 years (specifically in San Elijo Hills since 2002), is pleased to volunteer for the local American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). With the AYSO vision being “to provide world-class youth soccer programs that enrich children’s lives,” Wayne, as the regional commissioner board member, makes sure Region 1505 (San Elijo AYSO) does all that and more. “We ensure that we provide a quality soccer experience for all of our members that adheres to the AYSO vision and the six philosophies,” Wayne professed. Those philosophies are: good sportsmanship, open registration, balanced teams, everyone plays, positive coaching, and player development. San Elijo AYSO has a Fall Core program, a Spring Turbo program, an AYSO Matrix club soccer experience, and will soon begin offering college scholarships. But perhaps the one AYSO service Wayne is most proud of is the VIP program, geared specifically for mentally and physically challenged players. Wayne said, “Starting up this VIP program has to be the highlight for me, and my biggest accomplishment in volunteering for San Elijo AYSO. Every VIP player has a buddy or two who helps guide them in learning the game of soccer. Our VIP director, Tricia Palguta, is working to grow the VIP program even more.” Without having fundraising events, AYSO relies on sponsor donations to keep its registration fees low, and to offer financial assistance if necessary. AYSO also depends on its volunteers. Wayne revealed, “I started out in AYSO as a coach for my daughter and my nephews’ teams, but you don’t have to have a child participating to help out. We have grandparents, aunts, and uncles who volunteer. Many of us don’t even have children participating anymore, but we have such an affinity for what AYSO does for the kids in the community that we continue to volunteer our time and talents.” When he isn’t involved with AYSO, Wayne works as an electrical engineer, and in his free time he visits the North County microbreweries, hikes the local trails, and eats Mexican food at Neto’s. When asked why he volunteers for the local AYSO, Wayne revealed, “What drives me is seeing all the players out on the fields on the weekends, enjoying soccer in a fun, family-friendly environment.”

TWO RESTAURANTS JOIN NORTH COUNTY’S DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY images by Safdie Rabines Architects
S
an Marcos’ North City, a budding 200-acre mixed-use community, recently added several new restaurants to its roster. Halcyon Coffee Bar & Lounge and its sister restaurant Stella Public House will occupy the ground floor of the Block C apartment building and share a large patio in the heart of the North City neighborhood. Both storefronts open to the outdoor plaza with extended seating, creating a vibrant space of dining and interaction. Halcyon combines the comfort and convenience of a modern coffeehouse by day with a laid-back bar and lounge atmosphere by night. Stella Public House is known for its artisan wood-fired pizzas featuring local ingredients and a rotating selection of craft beer and wine. “The vision of the North City project is exciting to be part of – we are happy to be included in this new destination that will truly create a hub of everything our brands care about: community, quality design, and
sustainability,” said restaurant Co-owner John Long. A grand opening event is in the works for early summer to welcome Halcyon, Stella, and other recent additions Mason Ale Works and Urge Gastropub. North City is quickly establishing an urban neighborhood presence in San Marcos, regarded for its pioneering concept, awardwinning design (it has already earned an Orchid from the San Diego Architectural Foundation), walkability, and increased community connection. A new wave of residents are settling into Block C, which is comprised of 197 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as three-bedroom townhomes. The building is also equipped with a stateof-the-art fitness center, a pool, fully outfitted community room, and one of the largest green walls in San Diego County.

LITTLE ITALY Get a Taste of Italy Right Here in San Diego by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
N
estled along the waterfront in the northwest district of downtown, between the bustling San Diego International Airport and the historic Gaslamp Quarter, is a charming city section with a European flair. San Diego’s Little Italy was founded in the 1920s by Italian immigrant families, who built the area into a prominent fishing neighborhood during the height of the tuna industry on the West Coast. Despite suffering nearly 30 years of decline by the mid-'90s, Little Italy not only still exists today – it is a growing and thriving part of the San Diego cityscape. In fact, it has been recognized as one of the top Little Italy neighborhoods in the nation. And perhaps now more than ever, Little Italy is alive with community spirit. The streets of the 48-square-block neighborhood are studded with patio cafes, public piazzas, markets, authentic restaurants, boutiques, art displays, and other attractions that pay tribute to its rich Italian heritage. The area has been managed by the Little Italy Association of San Diego since 1996, an effort that has proven successful in preserving Little Italy as a stable ethnic business and residential community. This spring the association will complete the largest project of its kind: Piazza della Famiglia, a 10,000-square-foot European-style plaza intended to become the new
heart of Little Italy. The piazza will serve as a central community gathering place to host the area's various activities including farmers markets, concerts, cultural events, and more. So grab your family and friends, head down south, and explore all there is to do in this delightful cultural landmark.

Inspect Your Roof Before It Leaks T
his winter seems to be one of the wettest we have seen in quite some time. Maybe the El Niño we were expecting last year has finally come this year? Since our weather is so mild most of the year we are rarely concerned about preparing our roofs for winter or possible storms. This year we have had an excess amount of rain causing an exceptional amount of roof leaks. This has kept the local roofers very busy. First you need to know what type of roof material you have. Do you have a tile roof or shingle roof? Tile roofs last the longest. The tile itself is designed as a watershed to protect the roofing underlayment (felt). The felt installed underneath the tile is considered waterproof but the felt is organic and can deteriorate over time causing a leak. Shingle roofs are usually easier to repair but don’t last as long. These roofs can have leaks due to many factors including damage to the shingles, missing shingles, and even leaks where the shingle meets the chimney or a vent coming out of the roof. Although you may not be a roofer,
there are some problem areas to look for including cracked, blistered, raised, or buckled shingles, exposed nails, and just plain worn-out looking spots. If you notice any of these things you should contact a licensed roofing company to come out and take a look. We are hoping that this will remind you to take a look now and catch any potential problems before they become serious issues. Even if you think everything is
