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 92081 Magazine.
Are these magazines part of a franchise? No, 92081 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.

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 92081 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 92081 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. Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, or even 40 years from now, perhaps someone will open up a loved one’s cherished box of memories. And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 92081 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. Thank you for reading 92081 Magazine and being a part of something that touches the hearts of our communities.

Palomar College sculpture class changed the world for Vista resident Jaydon Sterling-Randall. “I do work a non-art related job,” she explained, “however, the occupation that I feel is the real me is being an artist.” While taking those classes, Jaydon felt fortunate to have three sculptures in the Boehm Gallery on the Palomar College campus. In 2014, she became involved in the Vista Art Foundation (VAF) with her art partner and husband Rick Randall. At that time, then VAF President Maureen Barrack asked if the pair wanted to be involved in making her dream, The Alley Art Festival, come to life. The AAF’s purpose is giving artists of all ages and genres a voice through supporting and promoting the community’s education and cultural appreciation of art and creative expression. Jaydon is now AAF president. “My duties have been to work on trying to find the foundation a home where we can have a gallery for our artists to show their work and have the ability to have art classes. This has not been successful so far.” She works on putting on fundraisers to be able to fund the Alley Art Festival, which is challenging without a gallery space. They have fundraising art shows and events, such as last month's Behind the Mask Masquerade Gala, and Jaydon holds monthly meetings in which anyone is welcome to come and get involved in the Vista art scene. Right now, Jaydon’s primary function is working with all aspects of the Alley Art Festival, coming Sept. 10. This year’s a little different in that all the music will be done in a Cruzing Grand style. They’ll have a poetry slam, a fashion show, an artist/makers market, interactive art for all, a Sharpie car, food trucks, a Kidz art zone, a puppet parade, and more. Plus a new sculpture will be coming to the downtown! Some interesting sculptures Jaydon and Rick have created for past festivals include a Steampunk ‘Alley Art Man’, followed by ‘Alley Cat’-inspired by their cat Trouble. Last year they wanted to do something special, and so created Alley Art Man’s bride, ‘Alley Art Woman.’ “'Love Locks’ was created to be part of their “wedding”,” she said. “Now everyone can 'lock their love' in Vista and put their lock on the sculpture with the Alley couple’s lock. Art is so much more than a pretty thing to look at,” Jaydon said. “Art can change the world.” ¢

RBV STUDENTS TAKE THIRD AT SAN DIEGO WOMEN’S HACKATHON
F
our sophomore students from Rancho Buena Vista High School (RBV) took third place overall at the recent San Diego Women’s Hackathon at CSU San Marcos. Their webpage and game that challenged people to choose more nutritious foods also won Best User Experience and Functionality. The team, named Code Queens, consisted of Liliana Vang, Cindy Bui, Lorena Arcos, and Eve Diaz. They were joined by two other students from MiraCosta College and Miramar College. They were given about 10 hours to code and design their project. Of the experience, Liliana shared, “We all went in there without any experience and learned new things on the spot.” Cindy Bui commented that she was “astonished” by how much their team was able to accomplish in a short amount of time. All team members agreed that the experience of learning new things made their hard work worth it. Dadre
Rudolph, RBV Robotics Instructor, led the students and could not be prouder of their accomplishment. “They had just started coding,” she shared. “I was just sending them to see what it’s like.” Two years ago, RBV seniors Yvette Moreno and Emily Sorger were part of a five-girl team that placed first in the Hackathon. Emily served as a mentor to the Code Queens this year. The Women’s Hackathons serve to encourage more girls to take an interest in computer science. By challenging students to work in teams on projects that have real-world applications, the event presents the science as a more social exercise. After taking robotics courses at RBV and competing in the Hackathon, all four of the Code Queens are now considering careers in computer science.

Healthy Back-to-School Lunches Kids Will Love Six Tips for Packing Nutritious Meals by ROSALIND DOCKWEILER, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Encinitas A nutritious midday meal gives children the staying power to sustain them through the day. Start their school year off right with healthy lunches that they will enjoy. PACKED LUNCHES MADE EASY Creating fresh, nutritious, and cost-effective lunches doesn’t have to be complicated. A little bit of preparation can go a long way. Set your child up for success with these six tips: 1. Make healthy eating a habit at home. When children are used to eating foods from the five food groups, they are more willing to eat those same foods for lunch anywhere, including school. The five groups, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), are: grains, which includes any food made from wheat, rice, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain; vegetables, including dark green, starchy, red and orange, and beans and peas; fruits; protein foods, which includes meats, poultry, seafood, beans, eggs, and nuts; dairy, including all fluid milk products and foods made from milk that retain their calcium content. Choose foods with a high nutrient content (protein, minerals, and vitamins) compared with the percentage of calories, fat, and sodium. Small amounts of oils, fats that are liquid at room temperature, are also recommended by the USDA. Although they are not a food group, they provide essential nutrients. In addition to the food groups, other components to consider for healthy eating are added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. While there is room for some added sugars or saturated fats occasionally, limit the amount your kids eat. Sweet treats such as cakes, cookies, candy, and sugary drinks have a lot of calories, but few nutrients. If you include them in their lunch, serve bite-size portions.
2. Involve children in meal preparation, including their lunches. This not only empowers children and promotes a feeling of responsibility, but also makes your child more likely to eat the lunch. Keep the pantry stocked with healthy staples and post a list of ideas on the refrigerator from which kids can choose. You can designate part of your kitchen as the lunch-packing station where the entire family can get the meal ready for the next day. 3. Give kids a choice. When preparing lunch, ask your child which healthy option they would prefer — such as a banana or strawberries. By giving them a choice, they learn how to compromise and hone their decisionmaking skills. 4. Mix-and-match. Using the five food groups as a guide, toss in whole grain crackers with peanut butter, cut-up veggies with hummus, Greek yogurt with berries, or a slice of cheese on top of whole grain bread, pita bread, or tortillas. The goal is to have variety, color, and to include three to five of the food groups at each meal. 5. Make good nutrition fun. Get creative and have fun with healthy foods. Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of sandwiches, cheese, or deli meats. Using a bento box can help you create an appealing, colorful lunch and keep the food items separated, which is often important to kids. Consider having a theme lunch, such as a pirate meal. 6. Nix juice and soda. As much as kids love drinking soda and juice, water is the best drink for them. Fat-free or one-percent milk is also a good option because it’s packed with calcium and vitamin D. Let your child pick out their favorite water bottle, and throw in a few pieces of frozen fruit if they complain water is too boring. Using these tips, you and your family are off to a healthy and fun start to the school year. ¢

Kids, Gardening, and Community NANCY B JONES ELECTED TO VISTA’S HALL OF FAME photo by Winifred Meiser
C
ommunity leader Nancy B Jones was recently elected to the Vista Historical Society’s Vista Hall of Fame. After 19 years of teaching first grade at Alamosa Park Elementary School, in 2006 Nancy retired and dove head first into various volunteer projects, combining three of her interests to help kids, gardening, and community throughout Vista and North County. Nancy coordinated a California School Garden Grant for Vista Unified School District which brought in $63,000 for gardens at 20 elementary, middle, and high schools from 2007 to 2009. She has also provided field trips to Guajome Regional Park for Earth Day to Alamosa Park first graders every year since 2010. As a member of the Vista Garden Club, Nancy served on the executive board as treasurer and corresponding secretary, coordinated the Club’s annual Scholarship Luncheon from 2007 to 2011, served as horticulture chairman from 2008 to 2013, was ice cream social chairman in 2010, and advisor from 2011 to 2012. She also serves on the board of directors of children’s
programs at Alta Vista Botanical Gardens (AVBG), where she is known as Farmer Jones. Among other things, here she founded the Fall Fun Festival, has helped organize Earth Day celebrations every year since 2007, and continues to lead monthly Kids in the Garden classes to promote environmental awareness and gardening for children. For the Woman’s Club of Vista, Nancy has served as corresponding and recording secretary, newsletter and publicity, and club president from 2013 to this year. In 2012, she was recognized by the Boys & Girls Club of Vista with the Have a Heart for Kids award for her work with the youth of Vista. While these are just a few highlights of her achievements, Nancy will no doubt continue her work to improve and enrich Vista. Other new Vista Hall of Fame inductees include Edwin Giles Hart, Alex and Julia McDougall, Karl and Peggy Ramsing, JC Wynne, and Howard Williams.

Coast to Crest Challenge
The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has issued a Coast to Crest Trail Challenge to hikers and bikers to explore some of San Dieguito River Park’s most iconic spots along the Coast to Crest Trail.

This year’s theme is “Liberate Your Senses.” Tom will showcase his clay and pottery pieces. “We are delighted to host our fine art festival at one of San Diego’s premier arts and culture venues,” said Sandi Cottrell, ArtWalk San Diego’s Director. “Artists of all mediums will be taking over the beautiful rose garden in Ingram Plaza to showcase their artwork to seasoned collectors as well as firsttime fine art buyers. We create a festive, beautiful setting, so that attendees can enjoy browsing for art and the interactive art activities surrounded by natural beauty.” For more information go to www.artwalksandiego.org.
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 with a warehouse in Vista 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.
Vista Rod Run The 28th Annual Vista Rod Run will take place on Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in historic downtown Vista. The event will feature 350 classic, hot rod, import, and specialty vehicles along with their owners, as well as music entertainment, slot car racing, food trucks, an awards ceremony, and a raffle with 100% of proceeds going to benefit the Vista Teen Outreach. According to the Vista Village Business Association, the Vista Rod Run is more than a car show. It is “a pride of ownership, bragging rights, and friendly competition among serious collectors. Owners prepare for this day long in advance, some driving from other states just to hang out with those who share the same passion for classic and hot rod cars detailed to perfection.” Long enjoyed as a tradition in the heart of Vista, the event continues to attract car clubs, families, and local residents for a day of community fun year after year.

INTHE ZCode Magazines Continues to Connect North County One Zip Code at a Time Since ZCode’s conception, the goal has always been to publish feel-good content that truly engages readers across our zip codes. Now, publishing six issues of 14 community magazines per year, ZCode has worked hard to maintain and expand our vision. Behind each issue of 92081 Magazine is our close-knit band of creatives and go-getters who are dedicated to making ZCode’s vision a reality. What do we all have in common? We all are passionate about what makes our communities special. Join us as we dive into the inner workings of our media center.
Q&A HOW DID YOUR VISION FOR ZCODE MAGAZINES BEGIN? I was lucky enough to have a few articles published about me when I played football in high school. It was very exciting. I still have those articles. I wanted to create a local magazine that made people feel good. A magazine that people looked forward to receiving in their mailboxes. A magazine specifically for the neighborhoods that we call home, with colorful photos and a variety of interesting articles. SINCE ITS CONCEPTION IN 2009, IN WHAT WAY HAVE THE MAGAZINES DEVELOPED MOST? Talent! I have been fortunate to work with an incredibly talented group of people that share the ZCode vision. The quality of the

magazines (editorial and design) is unparalleled in the community magazine arena. WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST REWARDING PART OF ZCODE’S JOURNEY SO FAR? Having people come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy reading the magazine. It never gets old! WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM GOALS FOR THE MAGAZINES? Honestly, it’s to keep publishing magazines that are meaningful to the local residents. And if we are able to grow our family of magazines along the way by adding additional communities, then that’s a bonus!

WHY DO YOU THINK EACH DEPARTMENT IS SO INTEGRAL TO ZCODE’S MISSION?
WHAT’S AN IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY FOR OUR 92081 MAGAZINE READERS?

The magazine is 100 percent supported by its advertising partners. Please frequent their businesses and let them know that you saw them in 92081 Magazine.
SALES AND PRODUCTION CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY Without this dedicated, hardworking group, it’s highly likely you wouldn’t be reading the magazine you’re holding in your hands. This is because ZCode’s all-star sales team and production personnel create and maintain relationships with the businesses featured throughout our pages, so that we can get our magazines out to our more than 220,000 readers – to you. Our sales representatives aid local businesses – from doctors to landscapers to Realtors – in finding the most
effective way possible to reach potential clients via advertisements, business spotlights, and merchant profiles. And our production coordinator ensures an entirely smooth process. Each team member strives to introduce you to our business supporters and perhaps your next dentist or dance studio, thus doing their part to help create a thriving local marketplace.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS: “The team at ZCode are most enthusiastic and professional.

HungryKids Debbie Medrano Is Passionate About Ending the Fight Against Student Hunger by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Alicia Jeanne Photography

ecent studies show a critical link between sufficient nutrition and a young student’s academic success. According to San Diego Food Bank, hungry kids have trouble concentrating and struggle with behavioral issues in the classroom. Additionally, kids who have inadequate food intake face a higher risk for developmental deficiencies. Community volunteer and long-time Vista resident Debbie Medrano is doing her part to help combat student hunger. Years ago, Debbie participated in a community food drive for athletes at Vista High School who didn’t have enough food at home. When she learned that there were 3,500 students in local schools that were hungry and homeless, Debbie wanted to do more. “I called the person running the food drive and said ‘What more can I do to help?’” recalled Debbie. “We met and created Hunger Hurts which has evolved into Vista Teen Outreach, Hunger Hurts.” Founded in 2011 by Debbie and two other members, Vista Teen Outreach currently services 14 Vista middle and high schools by providing food and basic needs for hungry and homeless teens through on-campus pantries that are supported by community donations. Debbie’s role as founder and president for the organization consists of public speaking and outreach, managing a board of directors and overseeing the 15 community liaisons servicing the schools. “Our first biggest accomplishment was getting 15 schools in Vista onboard to have a food pantry, which took several years,” shared Debbie. “Our recent accomplishment was last year’s Holiday Food Basket project when we provided full holiday meals to 125 families.” Debbie explained that Vista Teen Outreach is always looking for volunteers and encourages those who are interested in getting involved to

look for up-to-date volunteer needs on the group’s Facebook page. Currently, the organization is looking for someone to service their five community boxes by collecting the food from the business and bringing to their storage location. They are also looking for a Holiday Food Project coordinator, a community liaison for Roosevelt Middle School, and a webmaster. “We are looking for businesses to host food drives to kick off back to school,” added Debbie. “We open our pantries again in August and have to replenish our warehouse. Churches, service organizations, and companies hold food drives for us, which helps supplement our expenses of purchasing food.” Debbie is proud of the organization’s accomplishments and has high hopes for its future. As stated in the website for Vista Teen Outreach, “In the 2015 to 2016 school year there were 800 students identified as homeless under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. We were able to serve 350 to 400 of them on a monthly basis.” For more information about Vista Teen Outreach visit www.vistateenoutreach.org. ¢

T
his summer the North County Mini Maker Faire brought artists, crafters, engineers, scientists, and makers of all kinds together to the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum for a family-friendly showcase of invention and resourcefulness. According to San Diego Makers Guild Media Contact Becky LeBret, the theme for the event, “Where new makers and old makers join forces,” was the perfect phrase to capture the wide variety of exhibits and hands-on projects, all meant to inspire and reignite energy and imagination. Some exhibitors included John Sawyer from Cigar Box Guitars, who creates DIY cigar box guitar kits. He demonstrated some of the ways he decorates his guitars by using the scientific Lichtenberg principle to create beautiful patterns. Jeff Sparksworthy of the San Diego Argonauts discussed making World War II battle ship replicas, the Handloom Weavers Guild demonstrated how to use antique looms to create textiles, and the California Blacksmith Guild showed off some of the techniques taught in their blacksmithing classes. Other exhibits included the Electric Giraffe Project, the Star Wars Hour of Robotics, Amateur Radio Fun, the Art Science Imaginarium Pop-up, and more. If you missed this event, be sure to check out the Maker Faire on Oct. 7 and 8 at Balboa Park. Visit sandiego.makerfaire.com for more information. ¢

A Look at 92081’s Real Estate Numbers by JESSICA BREAUX
T
he figures are in for June, and the numbers remain quite strong for home sales in 92081. A quick comparison to the same time period last year shows some minor fluctuation, but nothing to “call home” about. 92081 experienced a tightening of available inventory in June with a total of 31 new single family home listings hitting the market, compared to 51 new listings in June 2016 – a decrease of 39.2%. The total inventory of single family homes for sale was also down 54% with 29 homes available for purchase, versus 63 during the same period last year. The average number of days that homes were on the market during June was 20 days, compared to 18 days in June 2016. Although a slight increase in selling time has been noted, an average market time of under 25 days demonstrates a solid demand. Home values are very strong and continue to be at an all-time high. The median sales price of a 92081 single family home during the month of June was $550K – an increase of 5.4% compared to last June’s $522K median price. Year to date, the median sales price for a single family home in 92081 is holding very strong at $537K, a 4.4% increase YTD over 2016. If you are considering making a move, you should be able to do so with confidence. Give me a call to schedule a meeting. It’s important to work with someone that you trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and discuss your real estate goals. ¢
