Camps. Camps. And More Camps!

Derrick Breaux Publisher

can’t believe we are thinking about summer already! Where does the time go? I’ve always loved summer. As a kid, I would count the days until school was out. It still seems like yesterday. As parents, the mere concept of summer can be a little overwhelming. Two or more months of kids at home? What in the heck are they going to do every day? How am I going to pull this off? For these reasons, last year we brought you the 1st Annual Summer Camp Guide. We had no idea of how popular it was going to be. This year, I am proud to present the 2nd Annual Summer Camp Guide (see page 24). It is bigger and better than ever! It includes tons of options to keep your youngster occupied during the long break. Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine), kick up your feet, and take a peek at the variety of camps being offered this summer. Be sure to reserve your kid’s spot early this year, as summer camps are in high demand and things fill up quickly. And most importantly, tell them you saw their camp in the magazine! All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

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

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

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

vin Lillian Glaude knows how to work an audience. “It runs in the family,” she stated. Evin’s father – a professional DJ – is a big influence. “Music has and always will be a huge part of my life,” said Evin, who has been involved in eight productions at her school, Rancho Buena Vista High School (RBV). But, believe it or not, Evin wasn’t always so sure about her performing abilities. “I began to do theater and dance through RBV’s departments during my freshmen year of high school,” explained Evin. “After working with my directors and choreographer, I began to see talents in myself I never knew I had. Just by believing in myself and having others do that too, I found myself growing.” Today, Evin is given lead roles and has won many accolades for her performances, including Best Cameo for her role in The Little Mermaid and Best Supporting Actress for her role as the Name: School: Grade: Parents: Siblings: Favorite Local Spot:

Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. “RBV theater and dance is how and why I’ve grown and continue to grow in all areas of my life,” said Evin. Perhaps it is her success in theater and dance that has motivated Evin to help her peers find that same success in life. “As a peer counselor it is my job to listen and understand students on a mutual level and make their high school career as healthy and manageable as possible,” described Evin, who is also a member of RBV’s “I WANT KIDS TO Peer Leaders Uniting Students (PLUS), a UNDERSTAND group that aims to protect, connect, and THAT THEY’RE educate students in an effort to create an inclusive culture on campus and in the NOT THE ONLY community. “Being a peer counselor and ONES GOING a PLUS member is exactly what I want to THROUGH do with my life,” shared Evin. “This idea WHATEVER IT MAY of spreading love and unity among youth BE, THAT IT WILL and supporting and motivating each GET BETTER, AND other in all that we do is something too beautiful and freeing to throw away.” THAT YOU HAVE A Evin is also co-president of PURPOSE.” RBV’s Gender Sexuality Alliance Club, whose purpose is to establish a safe environment for students to discuss and bring awareness to LGBT issues. “I want kids to understand that they’re not the only ones going through whatever it may be, that it will get better, and that they have a purpose,” stated Evin. “You must truly love yourself first before you love others, and once you have that, you can take on the world.” 

:::: YOUR NEIGHBOR’S RECIPE

Ingredients 2 2 ¼ 2 ¼2

packages of pirouette cookies (any flavor) 10-ounce packages vanilla milk chips cup honey 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened cup liqueur* cups heavy whipping cream, whipped Grated chocolate for topping (optional)

*Any flavor liqueur may be used. I suggest Amaretto, Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Frangelico, or Peppermint Schnapps. Use cup of mildflavored liqueurs, or ¼ cup of those with a bolder taste. A mini-bottle of the liqueur is all you need.

About the Chef

Directions 1. 2. 3.

6. 7.

Using a serrated knife, carefully trim one end of each cookie to make a flat end. Stand cookies with cut-side down around inside edge of an 8-inch springform pan. Crush trim pieces and remaining cookies; spread some in the bottom of pan to make a crust. You may need to put some in the center of the pan as you go to help prop up the outer cookies. Once you have the outer cookies in place, smooth out the crust layer. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine vanilla milk chips and honey. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds until chips are melted. This will take about two minutes. With a portable electric mixer, beat in cream cheese and liqueur until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream. Carefully pour mixture into center of prepared springform pan. Cover and refrigerate, or freeze if frozen dessert is preferred, for at least four hours or overnight. Just before serving, remove springform pan, tie a ribbon around the outside of the dessert, and garnish top with grated chocolate.

Retired Superintendent of Schools Dave Cowles Continues to Make a Difference in 92081 by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

ave Cowles has deep roots in the city of Vista. He first came to the community as a teenager in 1962 when his mother began teaching at Santa Fe Elementary School. He left Vista to attend Seattle Pacific University and returned to San Diego to earn his master’s degree and teaching credential at San Diego State. “I then moved to Merced, CA, where I was a high school English teacher. I eventually became a school principal and later superintendent of Los Banos Unified School District in Merced County. I returned to Vista in 1998 when I was selected to be superintendent of schools for Vista Unified School District,” revealed Dave. He was thrilled to come back to a place that he describes as having an unparalleled location and feeling of community. During the eight years Dave served as superintendent of Vista Unified School District, he passed a school bond to build eight additional schools and eliminated overcrowding in the district. After his retirement, he continued his community involvement as a Vista City Council Member. “I served a four-year term on the Vista City Council from 2010 until 2014. It provided me with the opportunity to become involved with not only the day-to-day challenges of managing a medium-sized city, but also the chance to be a part of developing the vision for the future of Vista,” stated Dave. Currently, Dave is making a difference in Vista through his involvement on the board of trustees of the Vista Community Clinic (VCC), an organization that has been recognized as one of the leading community health providers in the nation. “The Clinic provides health screenings for people who aren’t sure where to go or how to get health services. Along with outstanding primary care, pediatrics, dental health, and women’s health services, VCC patients now have access to specialty Name: services such as optometry, behavioral Profession: health, and chiropractic care,” related Dave. Community: In his spare time, Dave enjoys spending Family: time with his wife and their family and friends. Hobbies: “We enjoy golfing at Shadowridge Golf Club Favorite Spots as a regular activity. We also spend a great in Vista: deal of time with our three grandchildren who live nearby and enjoy visiting our other three grandchildren who live in Northern California. Grandchildren are a major interest for us,” said Dave. He and Janis also spend as much time as possible visiting national parks and traveling. 

Expanding Hope

GENEROUS GRANT HELPS SOLUTIONS FARMS TRIPLE IN SIZE

olutions Farms, a nonprofit-run farm that works with homeless families as part of Solutions for Change, has recently completed their expansion, thanks in part to Alliance Healthcare Foundation’s (AHF) Innovation Initiative grant. The expansion, which tripled the size of the farm and took more than a year of planning and consulting, has made Solutions Farms the largest aquaponics farm in California. “Throughout our organization’s history, we have reinvented the playbooks on what solving homelessness looks like. Now, with the Solutions Farms expansion, we’re

continuing that tradition of innovation – solving family homelessness through hope and organic produce grown at our state-of-the-art aquaponics farm,” said President and CEO of Solutions for Change Chris Megison.

The farm operates without pesticides or chemicals using sustainable aquaponic technology, which uses 95% less water than traditional farming and grows up to four times more food per square foot. As part of the nonprofit Solutions for Change, Solutions Farms also helps nearly 200 once-homeless parents reenter the workforce. The farm’s selfsustaining social enterprise provides a replicable model that other nonprofits can follow to generate earned revenue while providing the homeless with meaningful jobs, workforce development training, and a healthy life.

Picture Perfect James and Alicia Countryman Were Meant To Be by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

s fate would have it, James and Alicia Countryman met on Valentine’s Day. “Our first date was on Valentine’s Day, as was my parents’ first date, and this was a fact I wasn’t made aware of until after our date,” recalled Alicia. Both having an artistic flair – James has an education in art with a focus on drawing and sketching, while Alicia has a drama background and a current career in photography – the pair immediately hit it off and married four years later. “James and I have been together for seven years!” exclaimed Alicia. Today, James and Alicia are happily settled in Shadowridge – a place they have lived for almost six years.

James and Alicia Countryman Shadowridge James – Administrative Professional, Alicia – Photographer Two cats – Sweet Pea and Poncho Camping, Hiking, Traveling, and Cooking Buena Vista Park and the Farmers’ Market at the Vista Court Complex on Saturdays.

“What we love most about it is how quiet and calm it is compared to a big city,” said the couple, “and what a great community it is.” Together, the Countrymans enjoy visiting Disneyland, camping, traveling, and enjoying a relaxing weekend breakfast. “We both love to cook,” noted Alicia, “and James just started getting into baking!” Apart from the aforementioned activities, James likes to attend game nights at the local comic book shops. “He is currently taking classes for accounting and business management,” added Alicia. She, too, is busy furthering her education, pursuing her Certificate of Achievement in Digital Photography at MiraCosta College. “I’ve always loved taking pictures since I was little,” reminisced Alicia. “I started getting serious about photography in 2008 when I bought my first DSLR. I started taking pictures of my family and friends.” Currently, Alicia specializes in photographing portraits, events, and weddings. “I’ve volunteered my photography services for the National MS Society’s events in the past,” she noted. “I mainly photographed their Challenge Walk and biking events.” Alicia is also the exclusive photographer for 92081 Magazine and 92078 Magazine. “I love meeting new people and finding new parts of the community that I haven’t had the chance to explore,” she said about the job. As for her favorite part about the photography business, Alicia replied, “I love capturing genuine moments between people and making images that show how I view the world.” The most challenging part, she explained, was standing out amongst the many photographers in the industry. “But I have my own visual style, my clients love my work, I love what I do,” said Alicia. “So I’m determined to make photography into a full-time gig.” 

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Person of the Year

The City of Vista’s Person of the Year program recognizes residents and business leaders who have provided outstanding service to the community. Vista resident, volunteer, and business owner Danny Villasenor was selected by Mayor Judy Ritter as the Person of the Year for 2015. Danny and his wife Linda own the popular Peppertree Frosty, and he is involved with the Boys & Girls Club of Vista and Solutions for Change, among many other community organizations. Mayor Judy Ritter said, “So many of us have answered a call to serve our community and that spirit of service is at the very heart of the Vista community which holds us together. This community spirit has improved the lives of countless individuals and made our city a better place. While this award focuses on this past year’s community contributions, I have to say that Danny has a record of making significant contributions to our city over many years. His selfless service to the Boys & Girls Club, where he currently serves as president, has touched the lives of many. His investment in the future of our youth will benefit the community as a whole for years to come.”

ince 2008, Vista’s Big Give (VBG) has worked every year to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation San Diego. Uniting the schools, students, and residents of Vista through a series of community fundraisers, VBG culminates in one giant celebration and check presentation that allows everyone to come together to witness the good of their hard work. This year’s efforts raised money for Wish Kids Alena and Luke. Seventeen-year-old Alena has been battling Mast Cell Disease and POTS Syndrome for the past seven years but has defied the odds and been able to stay in public school. Her wish was to travel on a European cruise with her family. Ten-year-old Luke, often called “Luke the Brave” by friends and family, has been fighting osteosarcoma. One of his favorite hobbies is playing Minecraft, so his wish was to meet the famous UK-based Minecraft video YouTuber Joseph Garrett, more famously known as Stampylongnose. Through various events including but not limited to pancake breakfasts, Jazzercise events, and rummage sales, VBG was able to grant the wishes of Alena and Luke.

THERAPEUTIC LITERACY CENTER

hile summer vacation offers ample time for students to run, play, and exercise their bodies, it also offers the perfect opportunity to exercise their minds. During the busy school year, students may not get the one-on-one time with a teacher or tutor nor the therapy to develop their underlying weaknesses in learning skills. This is where the Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC) comes in. While the center, located in Solana Beach, offers specialized training to students year-round, they utilize the extra time that summer affords by offering specialized camp programs to prepare children for success when school starts in the fall. Their summer programming includes an intensive therapy to overcome challenges and learning disabilities by focusing on underlying learning skills, as well as a learning “bootcamp” for children that are strong in their underlying skills but need work in the areas of math, handwriting, or keyboarding. All of TLC’s programs can help a student be successful in the Common Core curriculum. TLC’s summer programs include both group learning experiences and individualized one-on-one sessions, provided by specially trained clinicians. If a full-day program is chosen, the day may even include outings to a surf camp in Solana Beach or an activity at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. “A cognitive bootcamp mixed with hours of outdoor exercise is the perfect summer combination for children wanting to enter their next grade level with confidence in their success,” said Maria Bagby, TLC Executive Director. Because spaces fill up quickly, early registration is encouraged.

Five Nutrition Myths Busted by REYZAN SHALI, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Vista

Don’t let nutrition myths sabotage your health goals, whether those are losing weight, having more energy, or getting more exercise. If I exercise, I should take a protein supplement or protein shake. While it is true that when exercising, particularly at a high intensity, you need to make sure you eat enough protein for your muscles to grow and repair, most people, even athletes, can get all the protein they need by eating sources of lean protein, such as meat, fish, chicken, and dairy products. In some specific instances, protein powders may be useful for an ordinary athlete, such as for a teenager who is growing, when you are recovering from an injury, when you are increasing your workouts (such as training for a half-marathon), or if you are going vegan. Be careful, though, as it doesn’t take much protein to achieve these goals and overloading can be hard on your kidneys and liver.

A gluten-free diet is healthier. Unless you have a legitimate reason to eliminate gluten from your diet, such as celiac disease, you can eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While gluten itself doesn’t offer special nutritional benefits, many whole grains that contain gluten do, so before eliminating gluten, get tested if you think you may have an issue. Sugar should not be in my diet. All types of sugar – including fructose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose – are broken down in our bodies into glucose, which our cells use for energy. Some of these sugars, such as fructose and lactose, occur naturally in fruits, vegetables, and other foods. But many of the foods we love contain added sugars, usually to enhance flavor, and these added sugars have been cited as contributors to many health problems. The most common sources of added sugars include soft drinks, cakes, pies, fruit drinks, and chocolate. A rule of thumb is that sugar should always be accompanied by as many nutrients as possible, and added sugar should be avoided. Vegetarian and vegan diets are healthier. A vegetarian or vegan diet can certainly be healthy, but it depends on what foods are being eaten. Technically, eating a diet of

cheese and chocolate would be vegetarian, but not healthy. Avoiding meat and dairy products eliminates the saturated fat and health issues from overeating fatty meats and high-fat dairy, but vegan and vegetarian diets are only healthier if you replace the meat and dairy with healthy alternatives. What is true of vegetarian and vegan diets is that they are generally environmentally friendly and more sustainable than a diet heavy in meat. Low-fat or fat-free means no calories. A serving of low-fat or fat-free food may be lower in calories than a serving of a full-fat product, but many processed low-fat or fat-free foods have as many calories as the full-fat versions. These foods may contain added flour, salt, starch, or sugar to improve flavor and texture after fat is removed. These items add calories. Read the nutrition label to find out how many calories are in a serving and what the serving size is. ¢

TCCS Superintendent Clark Gilbert said, “There are many great schools in San Diego’s North County but if you are looking for that Christian school that truly is committed to equipping students in developing a firm foundation in the Christian faith, TCCS is anchored upon this distinction.” College readiness preparation is integrated across the K-12 curriculum at TCCS. Through project-based learning, students at Tri-City become successful in collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving. The school offers STEAM courses in biomedical science, forensics, robotics computer science, multimedia, coding, web design, movie making, and more. Superintendent Gilbert shared, “Knowing that the 21st century learning requires students to

be technology-proficient, knowlegeable, and creative, TCCS is providing students with a number of opportunities to prepare them for the marketplace when they graduate.” One such opportunity allows students to take dual college credit classes offered through Grand Canyon University (GCU). By participating in this program, TCCS alumnus Brad Borenecke was able to go into college with one year of college complete, and will be graduating in three years with a business degree from GCU. Tri-City also recognizes the importance of creating an enriching educational experience to develop well-rounded students. Opportunities to participate in their high-quality visual and performing arts program or the competitive athletic program allow kids and teens at TCCS to discover and express their talents in a wide variety of areas. Unique study trips allow students to experience other cultures or historical hotspots firsthand, and a yearly community service hour requirement ensures that students learn the importance of serving their community. Superintendent Gilbert continued, “Tri-City Christian offers a complete college preparatory program that serves to impact the hearts and minds of its students to be difference makers in our culture. Our teachers inspire our students to become passionate, Christ-centered, life-long learners. Our students leave TCCS prepared academically, grounded spiritually, and valued personally.” Stop by to see TCCS in action at their annual Open House and Taste of Tri-City on Thursday, April 21. ¢

STARGAZING IN SAN DIEGO

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

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

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

Tierra Del Sol

Julian

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

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

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

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Should I Have Flood Insurance? W

e’re sure that everyone in San Diego County has heard from the news, friends, family, the internet, and almost any written publication that this is the year of El Niño. Are you prepared? There are numerous documents on the internet to explain how you should prepare for the rain and flooding that is expected. But what about flood insurance? As far back as last summer we started hearing that El Niño was coming and to get prepared. But most people didn’t act quickly because it is difficult to know if the news is correct. Well, it’s here! If you don’t already have flood insurance, we suggest you look into it as soon as possible. One of the most important things to know is that most flood insurance will typically take 30 days for the coverage to start. You can’t call when the rain is coming down and expect to get the coverage to start immediately. That’s why we suggest talking to your insurance agent right away.

Even as renters you should get flood insurance. Flood insurance typically covers anything you can think of inside the home. Most personal items, window coverings, refrigerators, etc. Flood insurance does not cover money, valuable papers, vehicles, or items that are outside the home. There are many different policies all ranging in prices. It’s better to be safe than sorry. If you

need a referral to a good insurance agent who can help, please feel free to give us a call. Ranked in the top 20 for transactions for all San Diego County Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, we are your first and only call for all of your real estate needs. ¢

he Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego County recently held their Youth of the Year awards for 2015 to honor club members for their academic achievements and community involvement. Local Rancho Buena Vista High School (RBV) student Mark Arenas was chosen to represent the Boys & Girls Club of Vista as Youth of the Year for his active involvement in their academic enrichment programs including Power Hour and STEM, and their SMART Moves and day camp programs. Mark’s award was presented by City of Vista Deputy Mayor Amanda Rigby, who also presented a special proclamation declaring Jan. 29, 2016 as Mark Arenas Day in Vista. Mark also received a special certificate from Congressman Darrell Issa’s office.
