Independence in a Modern World

D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT

Jessica Breaux ASSO C IAT E E DI TO R S

hings were different when I was growing up. Kids didn’t have cell phones. Video games were barely becoming a thing. There was no Netflix or DVR. You had to plan ahead to watch your favorite shows. Independence came in the form of two wheels. I rode my bike everywhere. I knew the streets and the shortcuts in my neighborhood better than my parents did. There were days that I would be gone exploring the open roads until dark. I didn’t need to be constantly entertained, and I certainly wasn’t connected to all my friends wirelessly. Life was slower. It was a simpler time. I’m sure there were things that we did that would raise an eyebrow or two, but we made it through the coming of age. Times have changed. Gone are the days of innocence and independence in our youth. Teens and preteens are constantly glued to their smart phones. Things move fast. Group text messages, Instagram, Snapchat, and who knows what other apps are now consuming the majority of their time. They can even watch TV on their phones! I had a 13-inch black-and-white TV in my bedroom when I was a kid. And it only had 12 channels (three of which would catch a station). Just when I thought that all hope was lost for our kids and their desire (or lack of desire) to achieve independence, my son and a couple of his close buddies surprised me the other day. With permission, they took it upon themselves to jump on their bikes (after pumping up the tires due to lack of use) and explore the neighborhood. Of course, I did what any SoCal father would do in that situation – I tracked most of their impromptu journey with the help of the Share My Location family feature on my phone – but they didn’t know that. Derrick Breaux I was proud of them. They had a blast exploring the local Publisher area. They even decided to hide their bikes behind some bushes and hike the local hills. As a father, this made me cringe. But the kid in me felt this was awesome. The thought of this brought me back to my childhood. I wish I could have been invisibly hovering over them listening to their conversations. What were they talking about? They came back that evening with tons of stories. My wife and I listened with undivided attention. They giggled. We all laughed. We pushed for more stories. They ran into friends along the way. They encountered hills that were too steep to pedal. There were daring stories of climbing rocks, walking on trails that were deadly (at least in their mind – and that’s all that matters). For a moment, perhaps for just part of a day, my son experienced the type of independence that I had growing up. I am now confident that he will find his own hybrid form of independence in this modern world.

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Student Star Patrick Fernandez Finds His Niche in the Vista Community by KELLEY GUSICH | photo by Kilalio Photography

arly in his life, Student Star Patrick Fernandez moved multiple times, so when he moved to Vista he was glad to settle down and call Vista his home. “I was able to find an amazing group of friends and my niche within the community,” he smiled. He graduated from Rancho Buena Vista High School (RBV) and is now at MiraCosta, with hopes to pursue a career as a physical therapist after graduate school. The classes he took at RBV inspired his interests in biology and kinesiology. “I find biology quite challenging,” Patrick shared, “but I love the handson activities that go with it, such as labs. For kinesiology, I enjoy learning about how the human body works and moves which is overall a great major that I would genuinely have fun studying.” Name: School: Hobbies & Interests: Pets: Favorite Places:

Patrick Jan Rulloda Fernandez MiraCosta Community College Working out at the gym, eating a lot of food, watching Shark Tank, Philadelphia Eagles, streetwear clothing Dogs Molly and Kookie Tropical Juices & Deli, Vista Village, and Lake Calaveras

The Woman’s Club of Vista awarded him their scholarship last year for his achievements at RBV. “I’m genuinely honored to have received this scholarship,” Patrick affirmed, “and I want to thank the Woman’s Club of Vista for supporting me and students like myself in continuing our education beyond high school.” He also received a scholarship from The Patrons at RBV, making it possible for him and many other test taking students to afford their AP/IB tests. Patrick’s dad and brothers got him interested in lifting weights at an early age, and from there he continued watching his health and developing consistent exercise habits. “On the other hand,” he laughed, “this is balanced with an unhealthy obsession in trying other food.” Considering himself a ‘part-time’ food connoisseur, he has an interest in the creation and derivation of food, and trying all different foods. Patrick feels forever thankful for his hard-working and loving parents. His father Gilbert is a physical therapist, while mother Yvonne is a registered nurse. “Both have inspired and supported my interests in pursuing a career in the medical field.” His older brothers Paolo and Gian “have taught me endless amounts of life lessons that have made me wiser,” he said. His sister Gayle graduates UC Davis this year. “I thank my sister for becoming a role model in my educational career and setting a model to follow.” Patrick also wants a big shout out to Mrs. Glennon at RBV. “Mrs. Glennon made senior year a lot easier for me and allowed me to feel a bit of relief, even with all the stress generated from all of the classes.” 

How to Keep Your Healthy New Year’s Resolutions Six Keys to Stay Committed by SOPHIA BRADLEY, D.O.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center, Vista Think the odds are against you when it comes to New Year’s resolutions? Try implementing a few smart strategies so you can achieve your goals and have a healthy 2018, whether your resolution is losing weight, reducing stress, increasing your exercise, or getting more sleep. SIX KEYS TO SUCCESS 1. Choose one or two goals While ambition is laudable, making too many resolutions can set you up for failure. Pick a realistic goal and be specific. If your goal is to get in shape, what does that look like for you? Do you want to be able to run three miles, get to the gym three days a week, or decrease your body fat percentage?

When changes are too drastic, they can be overwhelming, while small lifestyle changes are easier to achieve and maintain. For instance, if your goal is to lose weight, try throwing out one processed food every week, such as chips or cookies, and replacing it with a fruit or vegetable. 4. Share your resolutions Sharing your resolutions with people you trust helps keep you accountable and can give you an added push to stick to your plans. Tell your family, friends, or coworkers about your goals so they can support you. 5. Schedule time Make your new goals a priority and schedule them into your calendar. Form good habits that get you closer to your goal by planning ahead. Eventually, your workouts, healthy cooking, or meditation will become second nature, and you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t do it.

2. Write it down Write each goal or resolution down and post them in a visible spot – next to the computer, on the fridge, or even on a mirror. Writing your resolution down helps you clarify what you want to achieve and helps motivate you to take action. If your goal is to increase your exercise, write down a reasonable workout plan for the week ahead. If you want to reduce stress, plot out 15 minutes a day when you practice meditation.

6. Expect setbacks Slip-ups inevitably occur, but don’t let mishaps and setbacks cause you to give up for the rest of the year. If you didn’t get to the gym one day, plan to go the next day, or substitute a few minutes of stretching or a quick walk. Developing the resilience to get back on track right away will keep you positive, and any effort toward your goal is a step forward.

3. Take small steps Plan what you would like to accomplish over a manageable period of time, such as three months, and take small steps daily toward that goal.

With these simple strategies and some patience, 2018 can be the year you succeed in achieving your goals. Remember to keep it positive and enjoy your accomplishments. 

Journey to Help Others

LOCAL PHILANTHROPISTS CYCLE FOR CHALLENGED ATHLETES photo and info courtesy of The San Diego Foundation

an Diego philanthropist Bill Geppert and his wife, Amy, recently cycled 3,500 miles across the United States to raise money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). Since retiring six years ago from a career in the communications industry, Bill has become active in the San Diego nonprofit community, serving on multiple boards and charitable projects. For years, he has helped Challenged Athletes Foundation grow its impact to support those with physical challenges so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. Throughout their cross-country journey, Bill and Amy met over

50 athletes from around the country who have been touched by the Challenged Athletes Foundation. “What these amazing athletes achieve and mentally push through is so much more than what I will ever accomplish,” expressed Bill. “Meeting and getting to know these incredible and inspiring people has pushed me through many days when the hill seemed too steep or my legs were too tired to carry on.” The funds raised from their journey helped provide grants for equipment and prosthetics that enable athletes to re-engage in sports. For more information or to find out how you can contribute to CAF visit www.sdfoundation.org and www.challegedathletes.org. 

Girls on the Run

LOCAL ORGANIZATION INSPIRES GIRLS TO TAKE CHARGE

ncouraging girls to recognize their inner strength and uniqueness is at the core of Girls on the Run (GOTR), an international nonprofit organization that uses exercise as a means of reaching these goals. Girls in third through fifth grade meet twice a week in small teams, learning life skills through interactive lessons and running games. Participants learn critical social, psychological, and physical skills throughout the 10week program, such as confidence, character, connections, competence, and contribution. At the end of each season, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5K running event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. GOTR San Diego recently held its end-of-season 5K in December.

Heart & Sole is the organization’s program for fifth through eighth graders, where girls learn more about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections, and further develop life skills. Heart & Sole also culminates in the GOTR 5K, where participants can celebrate their successes and emerge feeling confident, understood, and supported. Heart & Sole graduates often continue to be involved as volunteers and coaches. GOTR International was started in Charlotte, NC in 1996, and has since grown to over 200 councils in all 50 U.S. states. GOTR San Diego was established in 2006, encompassing all of San Diego County. It has served nearly 7,000 girls in San Diego over the past 11 years. The Spring 2018 season will begin in February, with the end-ofseason 5K scheduled for May 6.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER

Community Caretaker Stephanie Jackel Does Her Part to Keep Vista Thriving by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Kilalio Photography

tephanie Jackel and her husband, Martin, moved to Vista about 14 years ago. “After we both retired, we came to Vista from Savannah, GA, to be close to my daughter and her boys,” shared Stephanie. “My son and his family live in Spokane, so at least we’re finally all in the same time zone!” Today, Stephanie is a devoted supporter of her beloved Vista community, holding a position on the board of South Vista Communities (SVC), an organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing life in Vista. “I got involved with the Shadowridge Action Committee in 2005 to fight a proposal for a cement batch plant in the Business Park. Fortunately, we won,” recalled Stephanie. “Shadowridge Action Committee became South Vista Communities.” One of the many goals of SVC, explained Stephanie, is to meet with developers in an effort to make their proposed projects well-suited for the Vista community. “Right now we’re working with Citizens for a Friendly Airport in Carlsbad regarding the proposed expansion of McClellan-Palomar Airport, which (for many reasons) we don’t think will benefit residents of neighborhoods in Carlsbad or Vista,” noted Stephanie. Aside from her involvement with SVC, Stephanie is secretary for the Vista Hi-Noon Rotary Club. “I am grateful that, through Rotary International, we can contribute to projects improving the quality of life for people internationally,” said Stephanie. “Our fight to eradicate polio worldwide is slowly winning.” Locally, the club is making great strides, as well. “Our club raised funds to construct the Veterans’ Memorial Wall in Rotary Lane, where Main Street merges into Vista Village Drive,” described Stephanie. Stephanie, who is also a member of the Vista Planning Commission, Questers, and Vista Garden Club, finds fulfillment in being an advocate for her community. “I love it when a community works in the most beneficial way for all its residents,” shared Stephanie. “Working with residents and city officials/staff to identify problems and then to find good solutions involves lots of communication – we get to know each other and we work together better and better. It makes a better community for everyone and it’s a great satisfaction when a good solution can be implemented.” ¢ Name: Community: Profession: Favorite Places in Vista:

2017 Coastchella Beneﬁts Scripps Hospital

New Doctor at Scripps Coastal Vista

More than 300 North County residents attended the 2nd Annual Scripps Coastchella Benefit Concert at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach in October, raising over $320,000 for Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The event featured a cocktail reception, live auction, and musical entertainment by alternative blues hip-hop band G. Love & Special Sauce and local country band Nancarrow. Money raised at the event will help fund the purchase of lifesaving surgical technology and equipment, enabling Scripps physicians to provide a higher level of care with less invasive techniques, as well as improving the overall patient experience. For more information go to www.scripps.org/coastchella.

Contribute to WISDOM for Breast Cancer Screening Five University of California medical centers, including Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, have joined together to recruit 100,000 women in California to be part of the Women Informed to Screen Depending on Measures of Risk (WISDOM) clinical trial. “Screening guidelines for breast cancer have changed many times over recent years and seem to be in a constant state of flux,” said Andrea Z. LaCroix, Ph.D., professor and chief of epidemiology in the department of Family Medicine and Public Health at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and co-principal investigator in the study. “The WISDOM trial’s goal is to test annual screening versus a personalized schedule based on a woman’s clinical and genetic risk factors for breast cancer. The study should determine which strategy produces the most benefit for women and the least harms.” To participate, women must be between 40 and 74 years old and not have had breast cancer. Women do not need to be a patient at UC Health medical centers. For more information or to become a study participant visit www.wisdomstudy.org

Oﬀ-Leash Ordinance City Commissioners agreed to hear public input on the City ordinance requiring dogs to be leashed on the trails of Buena Vista Park in the Shadowridge Community.

Soroptimists Help Make the Holidays Special Soroptimist International of Vista and North County Inland recently donated $500 worth of $25 gift cards to children in Operation Hope’s year-round shelter for homeless families. Soroptimist Co-President Lani Beltrano shares, “I thought it would be rewarding for our club to do something special for homeless children and mothers in our community around the holidays.” Since donations for toys were already plentiful, fellow Soroptimist Kaye Van Nevel, who volunteers at the shelter, came up with the idea of giving gift cards for shoes, boots, and socks around Thanksgiving. Operation Hope’s Resource Development Director Nicole Ketcher said, “Watching the kids’ faces light up when they heard they will not only be receiving new shoes but will also get to choose the shoe that reflects their own personality was truly heartwarming. Thank you Soroptimists for putting a smile on our kids faces and warm shoes on their feet.” Executive Director Higgins added, “While we revel in their excitement at receiving new shoes, the best gift is that these kids will go to school looking like their peers. Not appearing homeless and fitting in is so important to them.”

photos by Kilalio Photography

he Backfence Society was founded in late 2011 as a way to bring more art activity to Vista. Today the organization takes pride in connecting artists, encouraging community engagement, and fighting to ensure that art is accessible for everyone. Through interactive

art exhibitions, monthly meetups, and other community campaigns, the Backfence Society is making Vista a better, and more colorful, place to live. Read along as we chat with President Sarah Spinks.

18 â&#x20AC;˘ 92081 MAGAZINE.COM â&#x20AC;˘ January | February 2018

THE BACKFENCE SOCIETY PRESIDENT SARAH SPINKS Can you tell us a bit about the history of The Backfence Society? When was it founded and why? Seeing a need for more art activity in North County and Vista specifically, the Backfence Society began in November of 2011 with its first pop-up group art exhibiton. We started as an autonomous group of North County San Diego artists working collaboratively to produce interactive art events. We became an official nonprofit 501(c)(3) in December of 2016. Recognizing a lack of proper venues and resources for artists to showcase their work, the society established itself with intentions to foster relationships that mutually benefit the community and the artists living within. The industrious nature of creativity leads to positive change in our community and the Backfence Society advocates lifting one another up by embracing the connection we experience through art and its different forms.

What is the mission of the society? How does it go about achieving this mission?

At-A-Glance

Our mission is community engagement through art. We produce and host group art events, encouraging and inclusive

to artists of all levels. These art-driven events bring the community together as they are open to all. When we connect more as a community, we exchange ideas, share stories, get to know the people we live around. There are economic opportunities for artists here in North County, especially as it grows and people want their investments to stand out. But where do you find artists if you need one and aren’t connected to them? Well, we can help with that. Also, we have our social media following where we are able to disseminate information. For instance, the Public Arts Commission for the City of Vista holds monthly public meetings, and most recently the direction things were going was not really indicative of the desire from the community, so I put it out there to the community to attend those meetings. People listened and have been attending meetings, learning about the relationship the City of Vista has with public art and how they can join the conversation. It’s about helping artists find each other and helping them become aware

of collective power. It always comes back to the idea that a lot of hands can lift a heavy load.

What sort of programs and events does the society offer the community? Some of the programs that help sustain our vision and mission: • Only Losers Litter: a monthly litter clean up campaign where we invite participants to become community crusaders by wearing capes and dressing up, creating a spectacle while picking up trash. • Drink and Doodle: a monthly meetup where all materials are provided. We only ask people to bring their creativity and connect with us through doodling together. • Pop-Up Art Group Art Shows: inclusive and interactive, these thematic group art exhibitions are open to all levels. We also team up with local businesses (and have even used abandoned buildings) and produce approachable

C O V E R F E AT U R E or someone in their life didn’t foster that relationship with art. Most people don’t have the time to make art or they were told art wasn’t that important whether through actions by individuals, actions by institutions, or both. Art isn’t viewed as a need to the people, it is viewed as a want. We need to shift institutionalized mindsets to understand just how much of a need art is for community. It is an investment in our own future as a community.

I think of my work with the Backfence Society as the best hobby ever. It satisfies a desire in me to make an impact on the place where I live and where my kid is growing up. At the same time, I gain skills and am constantly learning about art and leadership and about people. Some people take karate classes or join book clubs; I am building a tribe of artists, being civically engaged, and hopefully making a difference and inspiring others to do the same.

What is your role in the society? What are some of your duties or responsibilities?

And the most enjoyable aspect?

I am the Backfence Society’s president. I manage the website, social media, schedule events, attend meetings (our own as well as other organizations’ – I am also Chair of the Public Arts Commission for the City of Vista), network as much as I can, and lend support to people who ask for it. I also purchase supplies to implement programs and events, connect artists with opportunities, and create and maintain a communal space for artists and art enthusiasts in Vista. We are always working on growing our tribe. We’re figuring out a membership program and what that means, figuring out everyone’s interests, strengths, and the areas they want to lead. Part of joining the Backfence Society is that you want to be active in your community through art, and we can help provide that platform through collective activism.

displays of art. We also have group art shows at Milk Organics in downtown Vista. Art events and spaces provide positive community engagement because people love art. People are mystified by art because art is magical. Most people say things like, “I can’t draw” or “I’m not an artist,” because either they

What is the most challenging aspect of your role? Everything and nothing at the same time. The challenges are welcomed because it means work is getting done.

All of the people I meet and figuring out my values and connecting with people who share my values. People tell me I inspire them to get more involved which is the most rewarding thing I could ever hear! Imagine what the world would be like if even more people put aside the fear of not knowing how to get involved, and just remembered how much of life really is just showing up and then figuring it out after that.

active, engaged artist and perfect person to lead the trash-cleaning charge. She just finished our 2018 Trashwalk calendar, which you can find on the Only Losers Litter Facebook, and is working to create some public art projects. Sam Phillips, an artist, the owner of American Tattoo, and a lifelong Vista resident, is our vice president. Morgan Feirich, the owner of Milk Organics, is a big supporter and volunteer. Jonathan Cuyno, parlimentarian, former Vista Village Business Association Executive Director, is our consultant and volunteer, and helps us with grant writing. Chad Spinks helps with graphic design. Amanda Oswald, a local artist, is our communications director.

Tell us about the society’s involvement with organizations like Friends of Vista Skate Parks. What makes this kind of community work so meaningful and important to you and the society? Friends of the Skate Park started from a need to get people together interested in making the skate parks more welcoming. What we saw in November on an Only Losers Litter trashwalk was savage. What we saw needs to change. So we need to

find the people who really love the skate park, the ones who love it so much they are willing to do something about it. We had a meeting in early December and started to brainstorm things we can do to make it better. Our next meeting is Jan. 21 at 12 p.m. at House Skate Shop in Vista. Together we can bring people together and listen to what the community thinks we can all do to solve our issues together.

Are there any other upcoming events that you’d like our readers to know about, or any other details you’d like to share? On Jan. 27 we’re having Kittypalooza, a cat-themed group art show, from 5 to 11 p.m. Interested in submitting your cat-themed art? Visit backfencesociety.com for more information. Kids are also welcome to submit artwork. ¢

How can the community support the society? How can interested readers get involved? Come to events. Buy local art. Come to a Trashwalk. Apply to create a public art project. Come to a Public Arts Commission meeting. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @backfencesociety or @onlyloserslitter.

YEAR

OF THE DOG Join in the Lunar New Year Festivities by SAMANTHA EDWARDS

he ancient lunisolar calendar – which is governed by both the moon phase and the time of the solar year – has been used by many cultures for centuries. Holidays in the lunisolar calendar are marked by astronomical phenomena and often vary in the exact date each year. Chinese New Year, for example, occurs in congruence with the start of the new moon, which falls between late January and late February. Many other East Asian countries that follow a lunisolar calendar celebrate the New Year on the same day. These celebrations are rooted in cultural tradition, each with its own character and customs that are still widely observed today. In fact, communities across the world – San Diego included! – celebrate the lunisolar New Year with major festivals, parades, music, fireworks, food, and traditional decorations. Check out one of these local events for a wonderfully festive New Year’s experience!

If the Price Is Right… by JESSICA BREAUX

ou are thinking about selling your house – but only if you can get the right price! So, you find an agent that will agree to list your home for more than it’s worth. I hear this all the time, and it can be a recipe for disaster. Selling your home can be an emotional experience. And every seller wants to get the most that they can. The reason why you should not overprice your home is simple: it won’t sell. Pricing your home correctly from the beginning is critical. Buyers are more savvy than ever before. With today’s technology, it is easier than ever to spot a home that is overpriced. Many negative things can happen when an overpriced listing hits the market, including but not limited to missed buyer opportunities.

There are many aspects to selling a home for top dollar. The answer to achieving this usually comes down to three controllable variables: price, property condition, and marketing. The goal is to create a high demand for your home, and pricing it correctly can be one of the biggest influencers. Just like any other product, if careful attention is given to these variables, you will ultimately be pleased with the outcome. 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. 
