:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER A Celebration of Life As we make our way into the new year, I have realized that it may be just as much of a challenge to look forward into 2012 as it is a struggle to look back. You see, 2010 and 2011 were – without a doubt – the most impactful two years of my life. Professionally, exciting and rapid developments occurred with the growth of Susco Media and its group of publications. The goal to push the envelope and continue to publish local magazines “that people want to read” – which happens to be our company motto – challenged me at levels that proved to be extremely rewarding. However, I honestly feel that all challenges pale in comparison to what an individual and a family goes through when they encounter a “great love” loss. A great love can be a mother. A great love can be a spouse. It can be a sister or a best friend. Regardless of the title, a great love is someone that you care for deeply and respect on all levels. Someone that you unconditionally love. Someone that unconditionally loves you. On August 9, 2010, I lost a great love – I lost my mother in a tragic automobile accident. When a life of a dear loved one is cut short unexpectedly, it rocks the inner sole of your very existence. Your passion for life is tested. Your character is challenged. Grieving the loss of a great love is a long and complex process. Life goes on – but life is different. I spent the first year after my mother’s passing crossing milestones such as celebrating
“first” holidays, kids’ birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, my father’s birthday, and perhaps the most difficult, my mother’s birthday and the one year anniversary of her death (which are only twelve days apart). I realized that everyone handles a great love loss in their own very personal way. There is no secret formula or universal solution to overcome such a loss. It takes work, passion, strength, and an awareness of the magnitude of the situation in order to begin the healing process. Last year, a person offered me some advice. She said that as time passes and I continue to spend time thinking about my mother (commonly referred to as grieving), I will begin to focus more on all of the great things that she brought to our lives, all of the happy times we experienced, and all of the love that she shared with us. The sadness and sorrow will eventually begin to fade. The transition from mourning my great love loss will be replaced with the celebration and admiration of her life. The sadness will eventually turn to happiness. The transition is beginning to take place. Although it is difficult to hold back the occasional tear, I find myself smiling more times than not when I think about the years that we were fortunate enough to share with her. We were truly blessed to have her be a part of our lives. Her guidance, her character, her passion, her family values, and her unwavering dedication will forever flow through the veins of our family. She was a great parent and advisor. I aspire to be the type of parent that my mother was to us. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost a loved one. Celebrate their life every chance that you get, and they will forever live within YOU.

A Tribute to Lew Bush
T
by DANI BUSH
o most, Lew Bush was known as an NFL player, but he was so much more than that to the ones that loved him most. He was a loving father, husband and friend, and he will always be our hero. We are so thankful for every memory and every moment we spent together and we will treasure those moments forever. I can remember when I was five, walking and holding hands with Dad and realizing how big of a guy he was. He loved to talk and would always tell me, “If you could dream it, you could achieve it.” Sometimes I felt he was dreaming for me – like the time he wanted me to play volleyball and basketball and softball or pretty much any other sport that exists! He would get so excited when we would talk about what college I wanted to go to or what I wanted to be when I grew up. I know that whatever I planned on doing, he would always have my back. He wanted me to do whatever would make me happy in the long run. I always remember our date nights. Every Tuesday we would see a movie. Because of him I have a strong love of music. He was always that guy that was driving around with the music so loud, the base would shake the car. I obviously acquired my love and knowledge of football from him. I attended a lot of the games he played in and when he began coaching at Westview High School, I went to a lot of practices. There has never been, and never will be, a man quite like him – intelligent, hardworking, entertaining and funny. He was one of a kind and no matter what, I will always love him.

f you’re a longtime Charger fan, you may know that face. As a 92127 resident, you may even have seen it around the neighborhood. Lew Bush, former Charger linebacker, died Thursday, December 8th, just six days after his 42nd birthday. Bush played for the Chargers from facebook.com/92127magazine
1993-1999, including Superbowl XXIX, then played defense with the Kansas City Chiefs. In 2002, he retired from the NFL and settled in 4S Ranch. He continued to share his love of football as a commentator on KIOZ radio and coaching football at Westview High School. It is clear from the outpouring of support January | February 2012
on online memorials that Lew Bush was much beloved. Heartfelt messages from Washington State, Kansas City, and from friends and family here in our community paint a picture of a man who was good-natured, kind, and down-to-earth.

Demystifying the College Athletic Recruiting Process by JENNIFER FRAKES
F
or student athletes and their parents, the college athletic recruiting process can be confusing and filled with misconceptions. However, once armed with the basics, the process is much easier to navigate and all potential opportunities can be explored. According to David Batzer, a local San Diego area scout for the National Scouting Report, the most important factor to increase a student’s chances of obtaining scholarships and/or playing opportunities at the collegiate level is academic performance. “Academics open most doors and put you in the best position for your life and career after college. It will also give you a leg up in the recruiting process since coaches will know you are intelligent and hard-working,” says Batzer. While academic performance is crucial, so is being proactive and starting early. “The biggest misconception is that ‘If am
facebook.com/92127magazine
good enough, they will find me.’ While this may be true for the highest level Division I athletes, it does not necessarily hold true for the majority of athletes,” says Batzer. Batzer recommends that student athletes and their parents let college coaches know about their abilities early on in their high school career. “Most Division I programs are currently recruiting athletes for 2013 and beyond,” says Batzer. Another common misconception is that if an athlete is recruited, they will go to school for free. While this may be true for the most elite Division I athletes in revenue generating sports, such as football and basketball, most athletes receive partial scholarships. “Division III, for example, does not give out athletic scholarships. Most student athletes at Division III schools get merit scholarships for academics and/or financial aid,” says Batzer.
January | February 2012
For student athletes wishing to compete in the NCAA at Division I or II schools, it is essential that they register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. The center is the authority that certifies an athlete eligible to compete at the completion of their senior year of high school. According to Batzer, “If you are not certified, you do not compete, no matter how good of an athlete you are.” Batzer offers one final piece of advice for student athletes who are thinking about entering the college athletic recruiting process. “You need to ask yourself, ‘Is this a school I can see myself attending even if I can’t play my sport?’ You need to pick a school that will offer you the best chances of pursuing your lifetime goals.” ¢ David Batzer is the local area scout for the National Scouting Report. He assists athletes in their pursuit of college scholarship opportunities.

or anyone familiar with Del Norte High School athletics, the athletic accomplishments of Dana Cruse and Lexi Reddick, both juniors at DNHS, come as no surprise. Dana, who has been playing softball since she was 5 years old, currently pitches for the DNHS varsity team and the Corona Angels 18 Gold team. Lexi, who has played on club volleyball teams since 8th grade, is on both the varsity volleyball and basketball teams and on the Coast Volleyball Club team. Their dedication and commitment to their sports is well known in the DNHS community. Lexi has been MVP

What people may not know is that Dana is a self-proclaimed theater geek. “Musical theater is just something that runs in my family. One of my favorite pastimes is going on long car drives with my mom and just singing along to Broadway show tunes,” says Dana. And Lexi danced for 9 years. “I performed in the Nutcracker

for several years,” says Lexi. In addition to finding time for other interests – Lexi also enjoys coaching kids in both volleyball and basketball, and Dana is a member of the DNHS marching band – both young women manage to keep academics at the forefront. “Time management is the biggest challenge of playing a competitive sport and being a successful student,” says Dana. Lexi agrees. “Since I play both volleyball and basketball, it is challenging to juggle athletics with academics,” she says. Lexi, whose favorite subject is English, hopes to play volleyball at a competitive Division I school and pursue a career in broadcasting. “I am planning on visiting several campuses in the near future. I would like to go into sports broadcasting because I love sports and enjoy public speaking,” says Lexi. Dana plans to attend UC Davis, where she would like to play softball and study biological sciences. “I hope to pursue a career in medicine,” says Dana. Both young women are enjoying their time at DNHS and are happy to be a part of the 4S Ranch community. “I like that DNHS is a small school. You get to know your classmates and teachers very well,” says Lexi. Dana loves the fact that Del Norte High is such a new school. “It has been very exciting helping to create new traditions and paving the way for future students,” she says. ¢

Tutoring program seeks success on the athletic field and in the classroom by ZEENA GREGG
C
urrently in it’s third year, the Del Norte Athletic Tutoring Program provides student athletes with additional learning skills, one on one support, and motivational encouragement to be successful. Recognizing a need to assist students involved in athletics at Del Norte, Principal Greg Mizel, Athletic Director Mike Giaime, and Special Education Instructional Assistant Jermaine McDonald spearheaded the effort to get the program started. By organizing a group of staff and volunteers with different areas of expertise, the group had its tutoring staff in place. All tutors are either credentialed teachers, retired teachers, or athletic coaches who have a strong background in one of the core subjects (Math, English, Science, and Foreign Language). “Our goal is to have the students college ready along
18

with the rigors of high school athletics,” said McDonald. Any athlete at Del Norte with a grade point average below 2.5 is required to attend the program at least three hours per week. Athletes with a GPA of 2.5 and above are not required, however the program is made available to any athlete who would like extra help. The tutoring program is held at the school library on Monday and Thursday evenings between 6:15 and 8:15 p.m. and on Tuesday mornings from 7:30 to 8:55 a.m. “We found times most available for athletes to attend on a regular basis,” said McDonald. The program currently has anywhere from 15 to 60 students show up for tutoring at the designated times, with the evening sessions being more popular. In order to track the progress of each student, the athletic department meets with
January | February 2012
92127magazine.com
each student with a GPA below 2.5 and creates a plan for improvement. Using weekly grade reports, 6 week grades and trimester grades, progress is monitored and plan adjustments are made accordingly. The best measure of success, however, comes directly from the students. “The program has definitely improved my grades,” said Brandon Kelso. “The tutors are a group of people who care about your grades and want you to do well.” Another student, Tiffany Butler, said that all her grades had been dropping, but once she started getting help, all her grades went up a full letter grade. “The tutors here really help. There are no distractions such as TV. There is computer access and it’s easy for athletes to attend right after practice,” said Butler. ¢

rom the ages of 21 to 31 years old, I played on professional hockey teams, such as the Buffalo Sabres, the Charlotte Checkers and the San Diego Mariners,” says Michael Rouleau, Rancho Bernardo’s newly elected Honorary Mayor. Now, the same team spirit he had on the ice is dedicated to the business community in Rancho Bernardo. “As Honorary Mayor, I am most looking forward to meeting other business owners and managers in Rancho Bernardo and sharing what we can do together in business in R.B.,” says Michael. “It’s all about unity in this community.” Upon retiring from professional hockey, Michael launched a successful career as a cosmetologist.

the Michael Joseph Salon & Spa in February 2010 in Rancho Bernardo. According to Michael, the salon has 16 hair stylists, two manicurists and an esthetician – and is continually growing. “I am blessed to be working with many of the best hair stylists in Rancho Bernardo,” says Michael. As a local business owner, Michael fully understands how important building a strong community foundation is for small and locally owned businesses. “Rancho Bernardo has been very good to me in friendships and business support, and I believe in giving back,” says Michael. The duties and responsibilities of Honorary Mayor are no stranger to Michael, as it was his wife, Maureen – a former Honorary Mayor herself – that threw his hat into the ring. “I feel very blessed to be married to the number one fundraiser of the Rancho Bernardo community,” says Michael. Michael also thanks his campaign committee and all those who came out on September 8, 2011 for his fundraising party. It happened to be the day of the county-wide black-out, but that didn’t stop Michael’s supporters from going to the Rancho Bernardo Country Club for the party. “We decided that the ‘show must go on’ and held the party anyway. Much to my surprise, we had close to 100 people. It was a huge success,” says Michael. Michael also has strong family ties. “I am the father of four from my previous marriage, and I inherited two more children from Maureen. Together, we have a plethora of grandchildren! I have 13 grandchildren and Maureen has four – totaling 17 between the two of us!” ¢

ennifer and Jim Harper originally met while they were neighbors. Jennifer was literally the “girl next door.” They have been married for 19 years and moved to 4S Ranch from Escondido in 2003. Jennifer has worked for the 4S HOA for three and a half years. She organizes the HOA’s community events. In early 2011, she purchased the Postal Annex in 4S Ranch. Jennifer loves to travel with her family. She also works hard to support the local schools. Jim is an Air Traffic Controler at Socal Tracon. He also loves to travel and is an avid road cyclist. The Harpers have two children. Their son, Garrett, is a junior at Del Norte High School. He plays hockey and works at the family’s Postal Annex. Their daughter, Sarah, is a sophomore at Del Norte. She plays field hockey, loves to read and babysit. Jennifer feels that they have perfected the Chunky Pecan Pie Bars recipe. The original recipe came from a Nestle Cookbook, but they have altered it to their liking – with less chocolate. “They taste just like a pecan pie brownie,” explains Jennifer. “They are REALLY good served with a glass of milk.”. ¢

e never planned on staying in San Diego as long as we have,” said Christie Langer. Christie and her husband, Scott, both grew up in Oregon and still have strong roots there, but their north 4S Ranch neighborhood has made them and their two children feel an integral part of this community as well. “We look out for each other, we cook for each other,
we have keys to each other’s homes,” said Christie of her close-knit Rosemary Lane neighborhood. “We are friends as well as neighbors.” Scott and Christie met their first weekend of college at Western Oregon State College. While both soon transferred to other Oregon schools, they continued dating through college and were soon married. They still travel to Oregon often and are both rabid Oregon State Duck fans, but 4S is

home. “We adore our neighborhood and our friends who have BECOME our family,” said Christie. The Langers moved to 4S Ranch in 2006. The many parks and trails appealed to them, and the location was ideal for Scott who then worked for Sony. Now Scott’s commute is even shorter. This spring, he and two colleagues started their own company, Bell Canyon Consulting, and now Scott works out of his home. Christie doesn’t travel far to her job either. She works as a Student Advisor at Monterey Ridge Elementary School, where she has started an anti-bullying program and a “Peace Patrol” on the playground. “This position has been the most enjoyable and rewarding opportunity of my career,” said Langer. She enjoys being able to help in the kids’ classrooms as well. Eight-year-old Luke and 5-year-old Natalie both attend Monterey Ridge and love it. On the weekends, you’re likely to see the Langers running around 4S, literally. Christie is an avid marathoner, Scott is a surfer, their son Luke plays basketball and baseball, Dad helps coach, and they all spend plenty of time outdoors. “We love to camp and do all kinds of water sports,” said Christie. “Luke and Natalie are quite the gourmet s‘mores makers, fishermen, four wheeler riders, and geo-cachers.” Though they enjoy traveling to Oregon each year, they are happy to call 4S home. “This little town is giving our kids a wonderful sense of community and close knit friendships that we had when we were growing up,” said Christie. “And that is something that we truly treasure.” ¢

Dine Out Locally for LESS! L
ocal entrepreneur Luann McCleery knows that one of the first things to get slashed from a family’s budget during difficult economic times is dining out. Luann has created a solution – a card that allows consumers to eat out at their favorite local restaurants with a “buy one, get one free” experience (up to a maximum value). According to Luann, this card – called Epicurious – was enormously successful in Texas and Oklahoma, and Luann has brought this concept to San Diego. Luann’s advertising background provided her the inspiration to develop and market the dining card, and she has enlisted the support of many of north inland county’s top restaurants as a way to make it easier for diners to patronize their favorite local restaurants. The Epicurious card is easy to use and is accepted at over a dozen local establishments. The new card is now available for purchase for only $38. It has a value of $990 and allows you the opportunity to Dine Out Locally for LESS! repeatedly at your favorite restaurants, including Beach Grass Café, Café Luna, Chef Chin’s, Company Pub and Kitchen, Elephant Bar, Luc’s Bistro, Nugent’s Firegrille, Oggi’s, and more! “These cards make an excellent gift for friends, family and employees who enjoy the local cuisine,” explains Luann. To purchase your card, please call 858-449-9640 or log onto www.epicurioussandiego.com. ¢

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF Stone Ranch Elementary Presents Quilts of Love
The children at Stone Ranch Elementary School have worked hard this year in preparing gifts for service men overseas. They made a quilt for a team of six Air Force Fireman from Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho who are deployed to Afghanistan. This is an elite team of Fireman trained in the World Famous Fire Training Academy in San Angelo Air Force Base in Texas. Their job in Afghanistan is to help with protecting the NATO base runway for the airport as well as the nearby community if there are any fires. One member of this team is Senior Airman Steven Boyd. Steven is a graduate of Westview High School – Class of 2006. He studied to become a fireman at Miramar College and was a Fire Cadet with the San Diego Fire Dept. He decided to join the Air Force to get more experience in Fire Science and improve his skills in fire management as a fireman. When he finished his training in San Angelo he was transferred to Mountain Home Air Force Fire Dept in Mountain Home, Idaho in 2009. The team of fireman left Mountain Home early in September heading to their station in Afghanistan. The Stone Ranch students wanted to help make the holidays and the time away from home better for these men. They have written letters to the firemen for the holidays, including Veteran’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Winter Holiday season. The students sent them to the men to brighten their days. Yet, the students wanted to do more. Robby Boyd, Health Technician at Strone Ranch, thought it would be nice to send them a memory quilt to keep them warm on cold winter nights. Boyd set out to plan a quilt that would do this for each of the six men. It would have 48 squares per quilt in which the children would draw a picture of their choice to show how they wanted the men to feel and to let them know they were thinking of them. Some depicted scenes of San Diego’s beach front, some drew fire trucks, service members children playing, adults walking hand in hand with children, trees, pumpkins, hands, turkeys, surfers, hikers in the mountains with trees and their thoughts of BEEing SAFE!!!! Boyd put the quilts together with a fire motif on the background of each of the quilts and then they were each folded and placed into an Air Force Pillow Case to protect them. “This way they can put it on their bed, in their office, or wherever they may want to and if they get cold they can take it out to use it to stay warm,” explains Boyd. “You can feel the love in each of the six quilts. We know that they will be very excited to receive these special one-of-a-kind quilts and [they] will always remember their time in Afghanistan when they look at their personal quilt,” said Boyd. The classrooms that participated were Kindergarten: Mrs. Shea/Mrs. Doremus, Mrs. Dickey; 1st grade classes: Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Vincent/Mrs. DelaMontaigne; 2nd grade classes: Ms. Morshead, Mrs. Yeager, and Mrs. Daellenbach; 4th grade classes: Mrs. Iamele and Mrs. Tempkin-Cook: and the 5th grade class of Mrs. Okugawa.

oak Homes is well-known in the 92127 neighborhoods. You see the name of this realty team on children’s sports jerseys and for-sale signs throughout the community. It probably won’t surprise you to hear they’ve been the top selling agents in 92127 for the last four years, but it may surprise you to learn about the owners’ son, Zach, and his unique condition. Scott and Cori moved into their own 4S Ranch home shortly after launching Voak Homes in 2002. They were eager to start a family, but they were unable to have children of

their own. They pursued surrogacy and adoption for years, without success. Finally, they adopted Zach. “Zach was an ideal baby, quiet with no fuss,” said Scott. But over time, they noticed that he was not very responsive or affectionate, and that his speech was delayed. “The fortunate thing for us with Zach is he has a great personality, a wonderful smile, and the best laugh I have ever heard.” said Scott. Nonetheless, they were concerned. Ultimately, they had Zach tested. “The diagnosis was crushing,” said Scott. Zach had a genetic disorder called Fragile X syndrome, in which the X chromosome doesn’t properly code for a crucial protein needed for neural development. The disorder is the number one cause of autism and developmental delay. “Getting that diagnosis shatters the dreams you have for your child. You have to start over with how you plan for the growth and future,” said Scott.
Meanwhile, Cori was managing her own fibromyalgia, undergoing multiple back surgeries in the hopes of alleviating pain and weakness in her legs. In the last four years, she has undergone four separate surgeries and finally has most of her mobility back. Zach has shown great improvement also. “Because Fragile-X shares a lot of characteristics with both autism and Alzheimer’s, the major drug companies are pouring a lot of money into it.” After a UC Davis researcher showed the acne drug Minocycline helped people with Fragile-X, the Voaks asked his psychologist to put Zach on the medication. In a follow up visit, it took the Dr. less than a minute to declare Zach a “totally different kid”. “The change has been remarkable,” said Scott. “I used to have to guard his hands in a shopping cart because… he could not process everything going on around him and would lash out. He is now saying 4-5 word sentences… and we get some good hugs.” ¢
Scott and Cori founded Voak Homes in 2002. Cori left the business in 2006 to raise their son Zach.

Black Mountain Ranch lies entirely within the boundaries of the City of San Diego and consists of 4,677 acres of land located south of Santa Fe Valley and adjoining the communities of Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Peñasquitos. Southern portions of the property are characterized by gently rolling hills, which ascend from the edge of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch to the base of Black Mountain, a local landmark. This distinctive setting presents views of Del Mar and the Pacific Ocean. Northern portions of the property consist of a relatively flat mesa, promontories of which overlook a broad central plain known as La Jolla Valley.
Q &A
with BLACK MOUNTAIN RANCH PRESIDENT & CEO WILLIAM OSTREM
What is the timeline for completing the Black Mountain Ranch Project? Current schedule reflects a complete buildout in 2018, subject to market conditions How will construction and development affect neighboring communities? Development will enhance the surrounding communities with additional employment, shopping, schools and parks. What has been the biggest obstacle in leading this project to its final phase? The market has had the largest impact of the build-out of Del Sur, but as buyer confidence increases, the timeline for the elements of Del Sur will develop sooner.
What has been the most rewarding thing about leading this project? The most rewarding is that residents have taken ownership of the community along with a great deal of pride. How many developers are part of the project? Whom specifically? Numerous guest builders have joined with Black Mountain Ranch LLC to execute the visions that is known as Del Sur. Some of those builder are Standard Pacific Homes, Shea Homes, California West Communities, Lyon Homes, and Davidson Communities. Are there any “rumors” about the project you wish to clear or elaborate on? None that we are aware of. Only thing that is not clear is what Del Sur will ultimately be at the final build-out.
What is the range of lot sizes among home developers? 2,500 to 40,000 sf lots. Please elaborate on the following items that are being advertised to be implemented in the Project: Schools: BMR is committed to quality education through its work with Poway Unified, each schools staffs, the foundation and PTAs. Shopping Center: approved for 225,000 sf of Retail Space. Business Park: 500,000 sf of Employment/Office space If you could have one wish for the project, what would it be? That the residences continue embracing Del Sur as their own.

THE Story OF DEL SUR
O
ver 20 years in the making, Del Sur has grown to be one of the most environmental communities and most amazing places to live in San Diego. Del Sur is the final phase of Black Mountain Ranch (BMR). In 1988, Black Mountain Ranch was purchased by St. Paul Travelers, one of the nation’s largest insurance companies. In 2003, two new partners were added: Standard Pacific Homes, one of the largest homebuilding companies in the country and IHP Capital Partners, an investment firm that provides equity financing for residential developments. From the very beginning, Black Mountain Ranch (BMR) has been committed to creating a sustainable community. From the mid 1990s on, Black Mountain Ranch representatives met with civic groups and government agencies to lay the foundations of the new community. BMR representatives also met with the Sierra Club, the first time the company took an active and collaborative role in a
residential development. Eco-friendly materials, building plans and significant conservation efforts proved to be successful strategies, both environmentally and economically. Black Mountain Ranch has been honored to create Del Sur, a new type of community that will hopefully inspire other sustainable communities across the country. The community of Black Mountain Ranch is located in an area of the City previously referred to as the North City Future Urbanizing Area. Black Mountain Ranch encompasses 5,100 acres and is located west of 4-S Ranch and Rancho Peùasquitos, south of the Santa Fe Valley, east of Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe Farms, and north of Torrey Highlands. Camino Ruiz and Camino del Norte provide the primary access for the community. Black Mountain Ranch is a relatively new community that is currently being developed. It was approved for development in two stages. The first stage was the 3,690-acre development known as Santaluz, which was approved for development at a low residential density of one dwelling unit per four acres of land. The second stage is the remaining 1,410 acres of Black Mountain Ranch that is subject to the policies of the Black Mountain Ranch Subarea Plan. The Subarea Plan was approved by the City Council and the voters of the City of San Diego in 1998. As part of the approval, the number of residential units for the entire Black Mountain Ranch (including the Santaluz development) was limited to no more 5,400 dwelling units. The Black Mountain Ranch Subarea Plan designates approximately 29 percent of the community for residential development, 67 percent for parks, and open space, 2 percent for schools, and 2 percent for commercial and employment uses. ¢ Article and Information Courtesy of Black Mountain Ranch LLC

pril Bosco is the kind of person who is always helping. If attending a function, she feels like she should help – whether it’s organizing an event at church, helping to run a school program or cleaning up at a family get together. It’s no surprise that April is helping in a big way this year – as President of the Westwood Elementary School Foundation. After spending several years as a PTA volunteer, Bosco stepped up to lead the Foundation after prior members moved onto the middle school with their children. As school districts are looking for money to bridge the funding gap, the Foundation fulfills a vital role by raising funds within the community for programs to enrich the education of students. This year, Bosco hopes to create popular events that will be mainstays on the Foundation calendar for years to come. Back by popular demand is the Family 5k Run at the RB Community Park and in February, the debut of the first annual Golf Tournament at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. When she isn’t going on adventures with her own children, she is capturing memories on film for other families. Besides her “day job” in bookkeeping, a small business, Libellule Photo, developed from a hobby and has evolved over the years. A Rancho Bernardo resident for nearly 20 years, Bosco loves what the community has

Bosco hopes to pass on her passion for helping others to her children. “I want my children to always ask if someone needs help.

ami Koch is one busy lady these days. As chair of the 1 st Annual Del Norte High Grad Nite Committee, mom to two teenagers, an assistant coach for Del Norte Youth Cheer, and a sprint triathlete, one might think Tami has enough on her plate. Tami, however, has a different outlook. “I want to help keep our community foundation strong,” says Tami. Tami is doing just that with her volunteer work at both Del Norte High Name: Tami Koch Family: Married to Randy Koch, Kevin (18) and Rachel (13) Residence: Ivy Gate community of 4S Ranch # of Years: 6

School, where her son, Kevin, is a senior and at Oak Valley Middle School, where her daughter, Rachel, is in 8 th grade. Being involved is a family affair, according to Tami. “I have been with my husband, Randy, for 20 years. He is a great person and helpful to our community – he truly cares,” says Tami. In addition to keeping the community strong, Tami is committed to keeping her body strong as well. A couple of years ago, she started running in Occupation: Homemaker Volunteer: Del Norte High School PTSA, Oak Valley Middle School PTSA, 4S Ranch/Del Sur Foundation and Del Norte Youth Cheer

half marathons, and she recently completed her first sprint triathlon. “I turned 44 and did the triathlon two days later,” says Tami. “I was so proud of myself.” Tami and her family have lived in the Ivy Gate community of 4S Ranch for the past 6 years. They love the family atmosphere and the closeness of the community. “We love the schools and the wonderful trails and parks,” says Tami. Growing up on a Minnesota farm, Tami was far from the temperate weather of Southern California. Tami lived on 340 acres, worked on a dairy farm, raised chickens and did, in fact, walk to school in the rain and snow. “I get to tell the story of how I walked a mile to school in a snow storm – it was 20 degrees below zero – and I could hardly see in front of me,” laughs Tami. While she admits that she loves to push her boundaries and work past her fears, Tami is quick to point out that she couldn’t – and wouldn’t – do it alone. She is thankful for her partners in the triathlon for their support and for her family and friends for all they do. Right now in the midst of planning for the Del Norte High Grad Nite, she is especially grateful for her fellow committee members. “The people who have come to be a part of the PTSA Grad Nite Committee are so amazing and wonderful. Thank you so much,” says Tami. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Looking Towards Retirement W
e are working with a few investors who are looking at San Diego real estate as an enhancement to their retirement portfolio. One recent case shows why. Our investor purchased a duplex for $204k that needed $5k worth of work, so his total cash to acquire was just over $61k. The units bring in $2,150 a month in rent, and after all expenses he will clear just over $5k a year (we are managing the property for him). He does not need the cash flow, so we worked a plan where he will pull enough out to pay his taxes and apply the rest to the mortgage. This will allow him to pay the loan off in just over 15 years. Now, assume that there is no increase property values or rents in the next 15 years. In that case, once the property has been paid off in 15 years, he should receive over $15k a year in positive cash flow, and his initial investment of $61k will have grown to $204k, an increase of 234%. Try to get that return in a CD. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
ways to make 2012 your best year ever Get motivated, save money, and get organized! by ZEENA GREGG
New Year’s Resolution
If you made a New Year’s resolution, keep it. Write it down somewhere you can see it daily. Break it down into manageable chunks, set due dates, ask a friend to keep you accountable.
Bucket List
Pick something from your bucket list and figure out how to make it happen in 2012. Select something achievable such as travel, learning a new skill or experiencing something you have always wanted to do.
Go GREEN
Go green this year by finding new ways to save money and the environment. Use recyclable shopping bags, cancel catalogs you no longer need, switch to energy efficient light bulbs, unplug appliances when not in use.
Pick a Room
Each month, pick out a room in your home to clean out and organize. Donate items that are no longer used or your kids have outgrown. Throw away items that are broken, faded, stained or out of style.
Eat Healthier
Shop at your local farmer’s markets and buy organic produce. Try new recipes that use healthy alternatives.
Organize Your Online Life.
Unsubscribe to emails from vendors whose services you no longer need. Create folders to file emails you need to keep. Limit time on social media sites to an hour per day.
Me Time
Schedule “down” time at least 3 times per week. It could be working out, getting a massage, walking to the neighborhood park, reading a book, or doing nothing at all.
Budget Your Money
Don’t keep up with the Joneses, their kids or their neighbors. Buy what you can afford and only what you really need.
Stay in Touch
Once a month, send an old-fashioned letter or card via snail mail to a friend, relative or someone you care about.
Volunteer
Volunteer for an organization that supports a cause you really believe in. Donate your time, money or both.
Know Your Neighbors
Make a point to introduce yourself to the new neighbors down the street who just moved in. Or better yet, get to know the neighbors who live next door that you have never talked to.
Family Calendar
Keep an online family calendar. Use a free online calendar through Google, Yahoo or other sites and give the whole family access. 62

Reading to his children at night inspired first book Doggieville by ZEENA GREGG
S
ix years in the Marine Corps, two years of commercial diving, ten years protecting the Saudi Royal Family and six years in real estate are on Geoffrey Hopf’s resume. Add to that “Author,” as Hopf recently decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of writing a book. “The road to Doggieville” started with telling my two daughters stories at night. My girls just love my stories, so one night.... I asked my wife what she thought about the idea of putting one of the stories into print. She loved the idea, so with her love and support I started down the road to Doggieville,” said Hopf. Doggieville is a children’s book about a dog named Kiki who ran away to Doggieville – a magical place where there are no rules. Once there, Kiki discovers that he misses and loves his family, so he starts his journey home, overcoming many challenges and obstacles. The book is for children ages three to seven and teaches them that all decisions have consequences, but that love can conquer all. Hopf’s wife Tahnee, and his two daughters, Scarlette (4) and Savannah (2) are his main inspiration. “I look at my two girls and I am in awe of the opportunities they have before them. I tell them
facebook.com/92127magazine
that they can do whatever they want in life,” explained Hopf. “I feel blessed that they live in such an incredible country that allows them the freedoms to go pursue whatever their hearts desire..... I decided that I too can do what I want.” Hopf believes that many adults hold themselves from pursuing opportunities because of pre-programmed beliefs. He is inspired by being able to show his children the power of imagination. “I want them to see how an idea like a story at night can transform itself into reality and then touch the world.” Doggieville is available in English and Spanish for $12.99 at www.doggievillethebook.com, as well as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble online and a few other online retailers. Hopf enjoys hearing from other aspiring authors and can be reached at geoff@doggievillethebook.com. ¢

Renaissance Village Academy: An Exciting Option for Gifted and Motivated Students
E
ven the name has special meaning at Renaissance Village Academy. “We want to create and nurture ‘Renaissance’ men and women, citizens who understand the world around them in all its glory and diversity – the natural world, the social world, and the political world,” said Nancy Retter, RVA Director and Principal Teacher. “The best way to help children grow and learn is to create a sense of community where we all look out for one another, hence a ‘Village’. Finally, the name ‘Academy’ takes its inspiration from Plato’s Academy in Athens, where Plato taught his followers to think using the Socratic Method. Because knowledge without thought is just information, children must learn how to think about what they’ve learned, how to judge the accuracy/biases of their sources, and how to weigh conflicting information to form their own conclusions.” A private school designed to meet the needs of gifted (top 2 percent), profoundly gifted (top 0.1 percent), and highly motivated students, RVA gets kids interested again in learning. “We get kids excited…,” Retter said. “Often gifted students find learning easy. With little effort they can get the top grades. So they develop the idea, at a subconscious level, that any assignment or project requiring mental effort on their part isn’t worth doing.” Retter said RVA counters that situation. “We don’t teach at students, we talk to them. Learning and teaching should be a conversation, not a lecture,” she said. “It’s a shared experience of exploration and discovery. The teacher must discover where each child is in relation to the standards and expectations in order to lead them to discovering all they can truly accomplish.” Founded in March 2010, RVA is a full-time program for students working at the Kindergarden level up through 9th grade. “Our students gain from exceptional circumstances and opportunities every single day. And one of the differences our students consistently mention is that they’re not bored,” said Retter. “High expectations are the norm. Selfesteem is built through actual achievement.” A highly experienced teacher with multiple credentials, Retter graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Russian Civilization) from University of California, Irvine. She completed the Credential Program at San Diego State University and received her Masters of Arts in Teaching at National University in 2003. “I founded Renaissance Village Academy because I’m passionately devoted to meeting the needs of gifted, profoundly gifted, and highlymotivated students,” she said, noting her years working in local schools with GATE and other programs firsthand. “These experiences inform my philosophy towards homework – less is more. Just because children are gifted doesn’t mean they need to do twice as much work as others. The quality of assignments is of greater importance than the quantity thereof.” ¢ Renaissance Village Academy is located at 9988 Hibert St., #301, San Diego, CA 92131. For more information, contact Director and Principal Teacher Nancy Retter via email at director@rva.us.com or phone at 858-564-9622, or visit www.rva.us.com. 68

Growing Healthy Smiles Dr. Michael Maude Provides Extraordinary Care, Develops Lifetime Relationships With Patients of All Ages
D
r. Michael Maude provides patients with personalized, gentle treatment that “grows healthy smiles” – and strives to develop relationships that last a lifetime. Since Dr. Maude has received extensive training in endodontics and implant placement and restoration – and is a certified provider of Invisalign and Zoom Advanced Teeth Whitening procedures, he rarely refers patients to specialists because it is important to him to offer most services to his patients – and make sure the procedures are completed correctly. Plus, he is a family dentist who takes care of patients of all ages. “We take care of children, teens, adults and senior citizens,” Dr. Maude said. “I want to be your family dentist so all family members can be conveniently taken care of in the same office. I strive to take extraordinary care of my patients by listening to the needs of their needs, performing excellent dental care and building relationships with them and their families.” Dr. Maude graduated with a doctorate of dental surgery from the prestigious private dental school at Loma Linda University in Riverside, Calif. He moved to San Diego and started practicing private dentistry immediately upon purchasing his first practice in East County San Diego. Dr. Maude got married shortly afterwards and moved to Rancho Penasquitos with his wife and four children. He wanted to open another practice so he could serve his local community and that’s when he opened his second practice in Rancho Penasquitos. A full service dentistry clinic, Dr. Maude’s practice provides cleanings (regular and deep), exams, oral cancer screenings, white fillings, root canals, crowns and bridges, dentures (partials and full), veneers, and oral surgery (including extractions and implants). 70
92127 Magazine
In addition to Invisalign Orthodontics and Zoom Advanced Teeth Whitening, Dr. Maude also provides such specialty services as implants, gingival grafting to help correct receding gum lines, and smile makeovers. One of Dr. Maude’s priorities is giving back to the community. His activities include:
• Volunteering at local schools giving dental hygiene presentations. • Providing services at local clinics for disadvantaged children. • Sponsoring local events.
A member of the California Dental Association, American Dental Association and San Diego County Dental Society, Dr. Maude is known being a very gentle and caring dentist who strives to takes his time with his patients. “I personally see to it that each and every one receives the best dental care possible. At our dental office, you will experience a return to more personalized treatment with the advances of modern technology. You will also find a doctor who takes great pride in his work from beginning to end,” he said. “My basic philosophy is to take extraordinary care of my patients by listening to their needs, performing excellent dental care and building relationships with them and their families.” ¢
