FROM THE PUBLISHER
VOL. 3, NO. 5 TM
Frequently Asked Questions
I
t has been eight years since we published our first magazine. We have grown from one local publication to a collection of 14 magazines that covers the majority of North San Diego County. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I get asked some repeat questions. So, I thought it would be fun to do an informal F.A.Q.
So, how does it work? Who pays for the magazines to be delivered? This is by far the most common question I get when talking to businesses, friends, readers, government representatives, etc. There is only one answer. Our incredible advertising partners – the businesses and organizations you find throughout these pages – are the exclusive sponsors that should be thanked. We are 100 percent supported by these revenues, and without the participation of these loyal businesses, there would be no magazine. So please take the time to let these businesses know you appreciate their participation and that you saw them in 92078 Magazine.
Are these magazines part of a franchise? No, 92078 Magazine has no affiliation with a national company or franchise. It is a home-grown publication that started with an idea, a lot of napkin scratching, and a desire to publish a local magazine our neighbors would want to read. Although we strive to make every magazine look bigger than life, we are a small, family-owned company that started out of our living room – and we are very proud of that history.
Derrick Breaux Publisher
Who writes the stories, and who designs the magazines?
This is my favorite question to answer, and I think this sets us apart from many other publishing companies. We have a team of about 20 incredibly talented people consisting of editorial, writers, photographers, graphic designers, account executives, and a production coordinator. All are local, and all work feverishly to produce the best magazines possible.
Why do you publish magazines? This answer is very personal. Although I don’t get asked this nearly as often, it is the most important question. We publish 92078 Magazine because we want to bring joy to our communities. I believe this magazine is larger than the paper it is printed on. It creates lasting memories, and memorializes community events and happenings. The pages of 92078 Magazine can be found framed on the walls of people’s homes. People are excited to mail them to grandparents and relatives that live outside of the area.

And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 92078 Magazine that their relative proudly tucked away. And this will once again put a smile on someone’s face. That’s why I print magazines.

good Neighbors The Buck Family Promotes Service and Recreation in San Elijo Hills by LAINEY KRAL photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography
P
arents Nick and Lindsay Buck knew they needed a bigger home for their growing family, and they moved from Rancho Carrillo in Carlsbad to the Calistoga neighborhood in 2012 – with newborn Amelia (Emmie to her family), Cooper the Australian Shepherd, and baby Brady on the way. “In our time here, we’ve found best friends and our kids have had so many opportunities they wouldn’t normally have,” said Nick. From the HOA’s Oktoberfest and holiday party to watching the sunrise from Double Peak Park, there’s always something to do. Lindsay added, “Nick would tell you that San Elijo Hills is his Disneyland.” Nick and Lindsay enjoy making a difference in their North County community. “Nick works for the City of Encinitas in Parks and Recreation and loves his job more than anyone,” Lindsay shared. “He has a passion
for service, and for providing opportunities for people to experience all their city has to offer.” Lindsay fulfills her passion for education through her roles with San Pasqual Union School District in Escondido – in addition to teaching middle school math, she’s the math department chair and the district’s Assessment and Data Coordinator. Off the clock, the Bucks are a family of dedicated volunteers. Nick and Lindsay volunteer at the church, C3, and Nick is involved with trail advocacy and a number of recreation associations. As a board member of the Friends of San Marcos Parks and Recreation, Nick created the San Elijo Hills Double Peak Challenge run, which returns this year on Sept. 30. “Not really a runner himself, his motivation was just to share how awesome and amazing the hills we have here in San

Marcos are,” said Lindsay. Nick added, “Seeing so many people accomplish something big at the inaugural event in 2016 was awesome.” He’s especially proud of the money raised for youth recreation scholarships and the San Marcos School District’s Promise program. Emmie (6) and Brady (4 ½) are following in their parents’ active footsteps. They’re in first grade and preschool at San Pasqual Union Elementary. They spend their free time on the move. Emmie loves biking around San Elijo Hills, and she takes ballet and tap at DanceFX. “Brady is all boy and loves to run, climb, build things, and play with trucks,” Lindsay said. “Both kids take swim lessons through the City Recreation program at Las Posas Pool. They love it and have made a lot of growth this year.” It’s a rich, busy life, and the Buck family is grateful to do it all in the community they love.

ABOUT THE CHEF CHEF: Krystal Fisher PROFESSION: Chef Educator FAMILY: Lives with her parents and brother in San Marcos COMMUNITY: Lake St. Marcos HOBBIES: Baking, getting together with friends ABOUT THE CHEF: Krystal loves food. It’s as simple as that. She loves food just as much as she loves people.

Winning West Coast Art San Marcos artist Gregg “Viz” Visintainer won $7,500 in a recent local art contest. The contest was hosted by Southern California salsa company La Victoria in celebration of their 100th anniversary. The company asked entrants to create an original art piece showcasing modern West Coast lifestyle, with a nod to the salsa the company is known for. Gregg’s winning artwork was showcased at an exclusive celebratory dinner party, with food by La Jolla chef Christine Rivera and entertainment by Ocean Beach’s The Verigolds. Gregg is a self-taught artist and works with pen and ink, creating images rich with hidden details, pictures, and messages. He opened Viz Art Gallery in Carlsbad in 2013 to share his and other local artists’ work. He also shares his artistic passion and inspiration by speaking at events and schools, including a TEDx talk at the La Jolla Playhouse. Learn more at www.vizartink.com.
New Program Supports Students in Need Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) recently announced a new program called Success 4 Students. Each month SSE will collaborate with local high schools, community colleges, and universities to identify a student in need and provide them with items such as school supplies. The program recently helped a single mom in community college who was struggling to make ends meet and who didn’t have the supplies she needed to succeed in school. SSE provided her with a computer and a desk for her apartment. The program will accommodate up to four students per month to start. SSE is a North County-based nonprofit organization that works to engage the community in environmental and economic sustainability by preventing waste from entering landfills through repurposing items for reuse. SSE supports over 400 local educational, charitable, military, and start-up organizations with free office supplies and other materials. To learn more about the Success 4 Students program visit www.sustainablesurplus.org or call 888-780-4416 ext. 2.
CSUSM Gift to Help Nonprofits Philanthropists Malin and Roberta Burnham recently made a $225,000 gift to California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) to establish the Burnham Leadership Experience, a program under the umbrella of the College of Business Administration’s (CoBA) Senior Experience Program. The Senior Experience Program matches teams of undergraduate business students with projects submitted by a wide range of businesses and organizations. Nearly half of the projects are for nonprofit organizations, and the Burnham Leadership Experience will allow nonprofits that could not afford the participation fee to submit projects. The donation will fund three teams of students every semester in perpetuity. “Malin and Roberta Burnham’s gift will significantly increase the impact that our students are able to have on the nonprofit sector in San Diego County,” said CoBA Director of Business Community Relations Ed Ashley. “The Burnham Leadership Experience will provide an excellent opportunity for nonprofit organizations that may not have had the means to participate in the past.” Learn more at www.csusm.edu/coba.

Employer Excellence in Special Education Petco San Marcos and its manager Cindy Wassenaar received the North Coastal Consortium for Special Education Community Advisory Committee’s Employer Excellence in Special Education Award. They were presented with a framed resolution by a representative from Senator Joel Anderson’s office in a special ceremony. According to Karen Thompson, coordinator of the WorkAbility 1 program for San Marcos Unified School District, Petco has been partnering with the school district since 2011, providing work experiences for special needs students in a variety of programs including the Adult Transition Program and Work Experience for Students in Transition program. “Cindy and her administrative staff believe that every student can surpass their own expectations of their potential,” Karen said, adding, “Petco San Marcos has been a staunch supporter of our work experience programs over the years, providing a much desired location for the students and an environment in which they learn, grow, and blossom.”

From a one-room museum on Mission Rd. to the historical buildings, barn shed, and gardens of today’s Heritage Park, the society has truly grown with the community. We speak with President Tanis Brown about the SMHS mission and the importance of preserving our local heritage. photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

CAN YOU TELL US THE HISTORY OF THE SAN MARCOS HISTORICAL SOCIETY?
The San Marcos Historical Society was founded and incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 1967 by a small group of local residents – a combination of newcomers and pioneer families. The first “museum” was a small room next to a coffee shop owned by Flora Brown (no relation to Tanis), located on Mission Rd. near Pico.
16 • 92078MAGAZINE.COM • July | August 2017
The Museo de San Marcos was a two-room farmhouse located next to the Williams Square Barn at the intersection of Twin Oaks Valley Rd. and San Marcos Blvd. During the early years, Ruth Lindenmeyer, a retired teacher, became the museum administrator. She established the Research Library and secured grants and CETA workers to help record interviews, document historic buildings, and collect maps and photos.
When the Williams Barn was moved to Walnut Grove Park in the early 1990s, the little farmhouse was torn down and the museum and research library moved to the Mary Y. Connors Hall, next door to San Marcos Elementary School. Development in San Marcos was booming. The historical society, under the leadership of Roy and Bev Haskins, got involved with saving two historical homes from being torn down, and the City Council agreed to relocate
the homes to Walnut Grove Park on a temporary basis. Between 2003 and 2005, the City acquired adjoining property to the park, and a 1.4-acre parcel was designated
By September 2010, Heritage Park held a grand opening. Heritage Park now consisted of four buildings, a native garden, a 1940s fire engine and outdoor farm equipment. Thanks to the help of the City of San Marcos, San Marcos Unified School District, Vallecitos Water District, San Marcos Community Foundation, local service clubs, scout troops, and friends and neighbors, the San Marcos Historical Society finally had a long-term home inside Walnut Grove Park.
“We get visitors who lived here as children and can reminisce about their parents and grandparents or what they remember about life in San Marcos.” as a Heritage Park area. Work began on restoration of the two houses. In 2009, the San Marcos Unified School District began construction on a new San Marcos Elementary School – which meant that the Mary Y. Connors Hall had to move. The historical society opted to have the building relocated to the Heritage area at Walnut Grove Park, on the same site as the historical homes. To make up for lost storage space, the City of San Marcos constructed another building on-site. The newly constructed building serves as the Welcome Center for Heritage Park. For over a year, the Historical Society was dark to the public.
WHAT IS THE SAN MARCOS HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S MISSION? The mission of the San Marcos Historical Society is to preserve, protect, and present the history of the local area through exhibits, displays, events and outreach to all members of community. The society is committed to the maintenance and upkeep of Heritage Park and the historical objects, artifacts, and documents contained within. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE FACILITIES AND RESOURCES AT HERITAGE PARK? Heritage Park has four buildings, a barn
shed, agricultural area, native garden, water wall, and donor recognition garden. The Welcome Center houses the Research Library, which consists of photographs, interviews, books, and documents pertinent to local history. The Mary Y. Connors Hall was constructed in 1939 near the 1910 schoolhouse and Rich Mar School. The building was made possible because of grant funding and labor was provided by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Franklin Delano Roosevelt presidency. Historical displays in the museum create a timeline around the perimeter of the walls so that the main area and stage can be used for presentations, classes, and performances. Displays in the museum highlight artifacts and photos that feature the earliest inhabitants of San Marcos, the Luisenos, followed by the Rancheros period, and the early European settlers to the area, ending with events leading up to the incorporation of San Marcos as a city in 1963. The two historical homes are referred to as the Cox house and Bidwell house. Both have been restored and are fully furnished with revolving seasonal displays.

The back area of Heritage Park is used for an educational program known as Hands on History. Students spend two hours learning about early life in San Marcos, from the Luiseno grinding stones and oral storytelling, to historical crafts and games, gardening, outdoor chores, indoor chores, and a scavenger hunt inside the two historical homes. HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY? I got involved originally when I was home with two preschoolers and wanted to find out about a historical home in my neighborhood. I called the City and was referred to the historical society. I had some time to volunteer 18 • 92078MAGAZINE.COM • July | August 2017
and was able to meet many individuals who were descendants of the pioneer families and had lived in San Marcos most of their lives. When my kids went to school, I also went back to school, getting a degree from California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) and after graduation ended up working at CSUSM until 2007. After I retired, I was invited to be on the board in 2009 and have been involved ever since. This was a critical time for the organization because of the relocation to Walnut Grove Park. Since I live in Twin Oaks Valley, I’m only five minutes away from Heritage Park, so I started spending more time at the park when we were setting up displays and getting reacquainted with the collection after 18 months in storage. Maryanne Cioe was instrumental in helping get the library reestablished. WHAT ARE THE MOST REWARDING PARTS OF WORKING WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY? I think the thing I love most is hearing family stories from the old days. We get visitors who lived here as children and can reminisce about their parents and grandparents or what they remember about life in San Marcos. It’s also very exciting to have someone call our office looking for historical information about a family, or place, or building, and we
actually have the information in our files. It’s a testament to the people set up the system when the society first got started and all those who continued to keep great records through the years. We are just starting to digitize our accession records after keeping all our records in a card file. Another new project is available on our website to find out if we have records on your family. This was done by Olivier Jamois as an Eagle Scout project. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS? We have a board of between 12 and 15 members who not only take responsibility for making decisions for the care and maintenance of Heritage Park, but they also do what it takes to keep us up and running. This can include going to meetings, writing letters and talking to people, soliciting donations, promoting Heritage Park, painting and construction work, baking cookies to keeping up a website, giving tours, working with all ages, giving a tour, and yes – even cleaning the bathrooms. We are a 100% volunteer organization so the board and a dedicated group of volunteers do whatever it takes to run the organization and the facilities. WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE SAN MARCOS HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEET? Monthly board meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the Welcome Center. Refreshments served from 6 to 6:30 p.m. The public is always invited to attend.
HOW DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY STAY CONNECTED WITH THE SAN MARCOS COMMUNITY? Each summer the historical society participates in City-sponsored concerts at Woods House, and we will host Summer Nights on Tuesday evenings in July and August. In the fall our big event is Horse Heritage Festival, an all-day fundraising event
and displays throughout the year. We send emails to our membership and post classes and special events on our web page and Facebook, and in local publications. There are members of the San Marcos Historical Society who are available to make presentations to groups and organizations. The San Marcos Historical Society also participates in CINCH (Council Interpreting North County History), an organization with representatives from many North County museums.

Our resident genealogist, Julie Miller, offers a four-session Introduction to Genealogy class in spring and fall, and two-hour specialty classes throughout the year. We also sponsor classes on sustainable landscaping year-round, taught by Diane Downey and Sheri Menelli of Earth Friendly Gardens. We host tea parties, and special events
DOES THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEED VOLUNTEERS? Do birds fly? Yes indeed, we can always use volunteers who can donate a minimum of four hours per month to assist in the ongoing operations of Heritage Park. We have a brief interview with potential volunteers to get a feel for their interests and then try to match them with the one of our ongoing activities and programs.

WHAT ARE THE ORGANIZATION’S SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS? One of our pressing needs is to either repair or replace the gazebo which is the centerpiece of our Native Garden. It was installed in 2011 but has not weathered very well. Long-term goals include adding the Old Richland Schoolhouse to Heritage Park and getting our 1940’s fire engine restored. ARE THERE ANY FUN FACTS ABOUT SAN MARCOS HISTORY THAT OUR READERS MIGHT FIND INTERESTING OR AMUSING? We like to say that Heritage Park is a place where History meets Discovery. Visitors who come to Heritage Park will find out how Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, and the Merriam Webster Dictionary are connected; they will learn why we have Mulberry Rd.; who got shot in Desolation Flats? and what does that have to do with the “pink house”; which Top 10 song was recorded in San Marcos; and how the city moved from eggs to eggheads in less than 10 years. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR READERS? Historical societies and museums like the San Marcos Historical Society and Heritage Park are a unique resource in the community. We exist because knowing where you come from creates a sense of belonging to the members of the community. Why do we have streets named Borden and Fulton and Richland and Barham? We can tell you. What made San Marcos a “Well-Rounded Community” back in 1950? What do Palomar College and Buckminster Fuller have in common? We can tell you. A recent study showed that a huge percentage of people surveyed believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Sadly, our beloved cows and dairies in San Marcos have left to make way for progress – but those who come to Heritage Park, will learn about our rich agricultural history, brown cows coming to California, and the truth about chocolate milk!

RICHARD by RICHARD D. MARKS
A Richard D. Marks, Founder and President
RDM Management Group A Professional Sales Consulting Company
ll through my high school days I played on the local basketball team called the Poplar Bluff Mules. I wasn’t a star player, nor a starter of the top five players, but I loved the sport. My shooting ability needed a little work, but I was good at applying defense. I could jump with the best of them, and I was quick on the court. During one of our home games I was riding the pine as usual, glaring at the coach with optimism, hoping he would put me in the game. Several minutes went by when finally coach looked my way and said “Marks check-in, and relieve one of your teammates and apply that pressure defense.” The coach called timeout, and we huddled up as a team, discussing strategy and execution. We placed our hands on top of one another, raised them high, and shouted, “GO team,” and went to our assigned positions. Excitement could not describe my feelings. We were on our home turf, I had friends
www.facebook.com/rdmmanagementgroup www.instagram.com/rdmmanagementgroup www.linkedin.com/in/rdmmanagementgroup
and family in the stands, and the game was being broadcast live on the radio. This was my chance to be a part of something special, and a contributing factor for my team members! My teammate was responsible for taking out the ball and passing it to me. My job was to take the ball down court and begin to activate the play or something like that. What happened next was somewhat of a blur. When my teammate tossed me the ball, I immediately began dribbling down the court as fast as possible. No one was at the opposing basket. This was my chance to score! Suddenly, I heard a faint voice from my teammate: “Richard what are you doing”? As I began to get closer to the basket and position myself for a dunk, hoping to drive the crowd wild, I realized I was at the opposing team’s basket. I somehow gathered my senses, and purposely missed the shot. Before “WTH” was popular, I was thinking it. Well, you can imagine the hometown crowd was in shock. They began to laugh, my teammate came over to me and ask me what was I doing, the buzzer rang, the coach placed me back on “The Bench,” and I was briefly humiliated! My recovery from the teasing and the comments from live radio broadcasting was almost immediate. I realized I had made a horrible mistake for the right reasons. I simply wanted to help my team achieve success. I share this story with you because all of us have experienced public or private embarrassment. It’s all part of life. The question is how do you move past it? Are you stagnant in your career or personal life? Have you allowed people or situations hold you back because of a mistake or a bad decision you’ve made? If so, I would like to encourage each of you to forgive yourself and move beyond the pain. Life gives us second chances and then some. Move beyond your current displacement, press towards the mark of excellence within you, and achieve your goals without looking back. Celebrate life failures; they lead to success. Expect great things to happen!

SURFIN’ SAN DIEGO Catch a Wave at One of the Top Surf Spots This Summer by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
S
and, sunshine, and salty ocean water. There are few things more quintessentially San Diego than hitting the surf at the beach. In fact, San Diego is known for having some world-class surfing spots, and plenty of options for all skill levels. Since beaches can get crowded, especially during the warmer summer months, be sure to get there early enough to stake out your spot and make parking a bit easier too. So grab your board and some sunscreen and check out some of these top local spots to catch the perfect wave!
LA JOLLA SHORES, LA JOLLA BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE La Jolla Shores is one of San Diego’s best and most popular beaches. It’s a safe spot for beginners to learn or practice surfing on gentle waves. And it’s great for the whole family – the beach has year-round lifeguard services, good facilities, a parking lot, fire pits, and a children’s playground just across the sidewalk. Several surf schools operate from here as well.
TOURMALINE SURFING PARK, PACIFIC BEACH BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE Tourmaline has a history of being a true surf hangout for San Diego locals. The waves are soft and gentle and the beach comes equipped with showers and restrooms. Hop on over to Garnet Ave. after your surf session for a bite to eat while you watch the sun set.

SWAMI’S BEACH, ENCINITAS
BLACK’S BEACH, LA JOLLA
INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED
INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED
Swami’s is an internationally known spot for good surf. A variety of breaks make for high-performance waves for longboard and shortboard surfers. It can be difficult to paddle out here, though, so strong swimming skills are a must.
Black’s is arguably home to San Diego’s best surf. An offshore underwater trench funnels powerful swells into this area, which can be dangerous for inexperienced surfers. Getting to the beach requires a bit of trekking and since Black’s is infamous for its “clothing optional” rule, it might be best to leave the kids home for this one.
LOWER TRESTLES, SAN ONOFRE INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED Lowers, as it’s called, is part of a collection of surfing spots at San Onofre State Beach that sits at the top of San Diego County. It is one of the world’s most high-profile and high-performance spots, often hosting expert and even professional-level surfers. For this reason, Lowers can get crowded and claiming waves can get competitive.
4-H Ambassador
LOCAL STUDENT WINS SCHOLARSHIP FOR 4-H ACCOMPLISHMENTS
S
an Marcos resident Kathleen Cummings was recently awarded a $5,000 scholarship by the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation, recognizing her for her participation in 4-H. Kathleen, known as Kalee, graduated from Escondido Charter High School with a 4.0 GPA and plans to major in business at Claremont McKenna College. She’s been involved with 4-H since she joined at age eight, and this year was chosen as a 2016-2017 California 4-H State Ambassador, representing all of San Diego County. Kalee’s other activities and accomplishments include student government, journalism, yearbook, golf, swimming, volleyball, food drives, tutoring, and working as a Carlsbad lifeguard and a clothing representative. The Don Diego committee described her as an organized leader and avid learner with a robust work ethic. Kalee and the other scholarship winners were presented at
the scholarship foundation’s 2017 Gala, held in conjunction with the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons concert at the San Diego County Fair. “Speaking on behalf of the entire Don Diego Board, we congratulate these incredible young women and men,” said Chair Jon Liss. “They have demonstrated a strong drive to excel. We are delighted to provide a support vehicle for their success and eagerly look forward to their future attainments in college and career.” Other winners this year were Sarah Drown, who won the top FFA award and the Spanjian Family Scholarship; Jessica Xu, who won the top exhibitor/participant scholarship; Mary Moreno-Christian, who won the top employee scholarship; and Kyle James Murray, who won the top junior livestock auction scholarship.

Is 2017 the Best Year for Housing in Over a Decade? F
reddie Mac feels this way… but why? According to their May 24 outlook article, they speak about the economic growth, unemployment rate, mortgage rates, and home sales being a few of the factors behind their opinion. GDP growth was only 0.7% for the first quarter which is very low but it looks as though the growth should pick back up averaging around 2.3% for the remainder of this year. In April the unemployment rate was the lowest it has been since 2001 at 4.4%. Mortgage rates reached 4.3% for a 30-year fixed mortgage in March. This is the highest it has been in a while. The rates have declined since then but are still hovering at 4%. The interest rates are likely to increase back up to the 4.3% by the fourth quarter. Finally, it was predicted that home sales would suffer a small setback in 2017. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Existing home sales in March were the
highest since 2007. New home sales also outperformed expectations. Data from recent sales has now been revised to forecast a slight increase in home sales in 2017. We feel that with the research and data collected by Freddie Mac this could very well

BEAT THE WHEN TEMPERATURES SOAR, the risk of heat-related illness (also known as sunstroke) increases. Older adults, young children, people with high blood pressure or heart disease, and those who work or train outdoors are especially at risk.
