FROM THE PUBLISHER VOL. 9, NO. 5 TM

Football Is Beyond Play

started playing football in the seventh grade and played throughout high school. I was lucky enough to be part of an incredible team that won CIF two years in a row and nearly pulled off a three-peat. I was primarily a blocking running back, but I saw a lot of action on the field, including my fair share of touches, yardage, and end zones. Although it’s probably not something that I should brag about, there was a time during those years that I thought the true purpose of going to high school was to play football. Needless to say, I’ve spent the last 26 years working on getting my priorities straight. Back in 2004 when Jessica and I found out that we were having a boy, I admit that I spent some time daydreaming about how our son was going to play football. Well, fast forward 12 or 13 years, and Peyton had never even expressed an ounce of interest in football. In fact, he had been fully engaged in sports like soccer and baseball since he was four. So, it came as a surprise this past spring when Peyton let us know that he wanted to try out for the Del Norte High School freshman football team. Although very athletic and known for his speed, this was a kid that had rarely watched football on TV, much less played it. I didn’t even think he liked football. Nevertheless, I was all for it, but he had to work on convincing his mom. She eventually came around to the idea. Besides the obvious, there’s something about football that is different from all other sports – especially when it comes to the team camaraderie. Throughout the summer practices and two-a-days, it was interesting to watch Peyton transition. Not only did he seem more mature and responsible, but he would tell me how much he loved the structure of how football practices are conducted. Instead of us – his parents – having to remind him to be ready for practice, all of a sudden he was the one urging us to take him to the school early. Other than the nearly unbearable “football” smell on the rides home from practice, his new sense of responsibility was incredible! The boys on Del Norte’s freshman football team have all worked very hard to get up to speed. For many of them, this is also their first season playing football. And although they have won a couple of games and lost a couple of games, they have demonstrated discipline and played their hearts out as a team each game until the final whistle. I’m not sure what’s in store for the next few years with my son playing football, but I’m certainly grateful that I’ve been able to sit in the stands and watch him grow as a person and put his heart and soul into a sport that meant so much to me growing up. Unless you’ve played it, there’s just something about football that is hard to explain. The buildup, the anticipation, the planning and execution of plays, the teamwork, the accomplishment, and even the physicality – it all has a way of getting inside of you and never leaving. Peyton, if you are reading this, thank you for being the student athlete that you are. Thank you for striving to be the best that you can be. And thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch, share, and participate in your high school journey. Every step of the way has a purpose. Be sure to take the time to reflect, appreciate, and process it.

HARDWORKING and ble VARUN AGARWAL IS BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR HIS FUTURE by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Alex Williams Photography

he language of finance and technology is a familiar one for Student Star Varun Agarwal. A junior at Del Norte High School, Varun has immersed himself in opportunities at school and in the community to jump-start his future career. Varun is building a solid foundation through his school involvement. He started the Finance and Investment Club at Del Norte High School, which has seen great success at the regional level in the SIMFA Stock Market Game. “Last year, we placed third regionally out of over 300 teams,” he said. Varun also started the Toastmaster’s Gavel Club, a noncompetitive public speaking club. This past year, Varun entered the SIMFA InvestWrite competition and placed second in the national competition and first in California. The essaywriting competition is focused on business and investing. “This year’s prompt was to choose a dream company to work for, advise its investment manager with an investing strategy, and predict any major global or economic events that could affect the company,” he explained. Varun has been applying his investment knowledge since middle school. He manages his own investment portfolio in an online trading simulator. “I really wish it wasn’t a simulation; I could have bought a Ferrari with my investments,” Varun said. Varun shares his knowledge and passion

in the community. He is a mentor for the FIRST Lego League teams at local middle and elementary schools. He also volunteers at a local nonprofit as a teaching assistant, teaching Java programming in underserved schools in San Diego. His work ethic is inspired by people like Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. “He started Amazon as an online bookstore, and with his perseverance, Amazon has grown into one of the largest companies in the world,” he explained. “Jeff Bezos’ attitude of hard work and humility are an inspiration to me.” Varun also appreciates time in the outdoors. He plays tennis for the Del Norte junior varsity team and enjoys riding his bike on the trails near his house in 4S Ranch. “I like living here because there are numerous trails, tennis courts, and parks,” Varun acknowledged. Looking ahead, Varun would like to pursue his interests with a career that combines finance and computer science. He is not sure where he is attending college yet, but with his work ethic and commitment, he is sure to make numerous contributions wherever he heads. 

Recreation Celebration

NEW DEL SUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK OFFICIALLY OPENS

ver 100 community members gathered on Aug. 25 to officially open the new Del Sur Neighborhood Park. Attendees included Councilmember Mark Kersey, Recreation Council Chair Steve Leffler, Realtor and Del Sur community member Anne Schreiber, and former San Francisco Giants baseball player and Del Sur community member Brett Bochy. Local businesses donated shaved ice and ice cream for the summer celebration. “Parks like this give my family and I another reason to love our neighborhood,” said Bochy. “The Del Sur Park’s open space reminds me of when my dad and I would play catch, and I can’t wait to do the same with my kids here.” Del Sur Neighborhood Park is five acres and provides a welcome gathering place for community members. Amenities include a multi-

use backstop, full-sized basketball court, tennis court, observation deck, children’s play area, open space, picnic tables, gazebo, and comfort station, as well as a 5,830-squarefoot skateboard plaza. Construction began in June 2016, and the park is part of Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s campaign to break ground on or upgrade 50 San Diegan parks over the following five years. Over a dozen other park projects are currently in progress. “The residents of Del Sur came together to enjoy the park for the first time today, and the sense of community pride was undeniable,” said Kersey.

Developing Healthy Student Athletes at Paciﬁc Ridge School According to nonprofit Common Sense Media, teens consume an average of nine hours of entertainment media per day, with tweens averaging six hours. With that kind of online connectivity, it’s important for adolescents and teenagers to develop healthy physical, mental, social, and emotional skills. School athletics can help build all of these, and the best environments are those in which students are supported by athletic and academic mentors, along with their peers. The athletic program at Carlsbad’s Pacific Ridge School is designed to help student athletes in grades 7 to 12 thrive, both on and oﬀ the field. The program launches in middle school, where students from all skill levels are challenged, whether they’ve never picked up a lacrosse stick or are a seasoned soccer star. Unlike at larger schools, every student at Pacific Ridge has a place on a team appropriate for their skill level and receives valuable one-on-one time with experienced coaches and trainers. Middle school players build physical and mental skills, resulting in a competitive program. Last year four teams (boys lacrosse and volleyball, girls soccer and basketball) won their respective league championships. The developmental successes of the

middle school program translate to competitive upper school teams at Pacific Ridge, yielding multiple CIF championships and athletes who go on to play in college. All student athletes are taught and expected to play with integrity and maintain the highest standards of character and sportsmanship. Coaches, many of whom are also teachers, provide key mentorship. Another important element of Pacific Ridge athletics is a high-level conditioning and injury prevention program through a partnership with Carlsbad-based coaches at sports performance company NAKOA. Through practicing proper body mechanics and athletic movement, athletes develop skills that translate across all sports and physical activities. NAKOA coaches also work with the school’s athletic trainer on injury recoveries, often attending games to track athletes’ progress. According to Don Collins, Pacific Ridge’s Interim Director of Athletics, the school’s approach is a win-win for helping students stay healthy and balance the sedentary draw of screen time. “When you combine our developmental and competitive program, character emphasis and partnership with

NAKOA, our student-athletes are getting the best out of their school athletic experience. It sets them up for the future, whether they plan to compete in college or just want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.” Families interested in learning more are invited to Pacific Ridge’s Open House on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 1 p.m. To register, visit www.pacificridge.org/openhouse. 

or Isha Pasumarthi, there is nothing more rewarding than making children in the hospital smile. “Comics for a Cure is an organization that aims to combine superheroes with philanthropy. We believe in the ability of something small to make a huge difference. We’ve donated toys, books, and comics to brighten children’s stays at Rady Children’s Hospital,” revealed Isha, a Del Norte High School student and Carmel Mountain Ranch resident. According to her, the most rewarding aspect of Comics for a Cure is the positive impact the organization is having on children who are going through incredibly difficult times. Comics for a Cure has also performed community outreach through STEM-related crafts programs at the 4S Ranch Library. The purpose of these programs is to help kids explore careers in health care. The group also has plans for club members to dress up as superheroes and entertain children at Ronald McDonald House. Currently, Comics for a Cure is a club at Del Norte High School, however, Isha would love to see the organization at other local high schools and middle schools. “By visiting our website, www.comicsforacure.org, you

can find more information about starting a chapter at another school. Or if you’re a Del Norte student, you can find out how to volunteer. There’s also a link to our GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to donate and help make a child’s hospital stay a little more super,” stated Isha. Isha’s involvement in Comics for a Cure is only one example of her passion for health care and helping others. At Del Norte, her favorite subject is science, specifically medicine, which she has been able to explore through the biomedical science pathway. She is the president of the school’s chapter of HOSA-Future Health Professionals, an organization whose mission is to promote career opportunities in the health care industry and enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. Isha also volunteers at Scripps Clinic and is a Pathmaker intern at Pomerado Hospital. When Isha is not at school or volunteering, she enjoys Tae Kwon Do and spending time with her friends and family. According to Isha, her parents are incredibly supportive of all of her endeavors, and her younger brother is always there to make her laugh. “I’m so thankful for my family and how they encourage me to chase my dreams,” related Isha. 

NEW SOROPTIMIST OFFICERS LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE photo by Jen Z Photography

LOOK YOUR BEST Named Best Cosmetic Surgeon

oroptimist International of North San Diego (SINSD) recently installed its new officers for the 2018-2019 year. The leadership team is President Ginny Brown, President-Elect Arlene Cawthorne, Treasurer Karon Samson, VP of Membership Pam Warnock and Liz Bartoli, Delegates Barbara Bertran and Pat Hamilton, Recording Secretary Sue DeVicariis, and Corresponding Secretary Michele Mason. Ginny has been a member of SINSD since 2013, when it was still called Soroptimist International of Rancho Bernardo. The name has since changed to better reflect the club’s membership, which extends through 4S Ranch, Escondido, and Temecula. What hasn’t changed is the mission that drew Ginny to the group: women helping women. The club was also an opportunity to build connections with her new community after she and her husband moved from Syracuse, NY to be closer to their children. As president, Ginny looks forward to promoting membership participation and community impact through SINSD programs. SINSD’s Live Your Dream scholarship program supports low-income women continuing their education, and Leap to Success supports women rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. SINSD also supports the Palomar Forensic Health Department, Palomar Health Lifeline, and the Transitional Housing Program in partnership with Soroptimist International of Poway. Dream It, Be It is an educational program for at-risk high school girls. Club members lead classes for groups of 10 to 15 girls, with a focus on personalized career support. In addition to teaching general career preparedness, they mentor girls according to their personal career goals. SINSD has run the program at Westview High School and Rancho Bernardo High School, and Ginny hopes to bring the program to more schools this year. Learn more at www.soroptimistnsd.org. 

STUDIO WEST INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRODUCERS AND AUDIO ENGINEERS S

tudio West has been a fixture in the San Diego music scene since the 70s, but the last few years have seen a significant increase in the popularity of the training programs in audio production they started over 10 years ago. The studio oﬀers a wide variety of classes that are appropriate for everyone from beginners looking to understand music production to industry professionals. The Audio Engineering Package, intended for those new to the subject, has become particularly popular. It covers the fundamental principles of audio production, signal ﬂow, microphone design, and mixing techniques and is taught in the classrooms and studios at Studio West. The studio recently added classes to accommodate demand.

Todd Hunsaker, Studio West’s Director of Admissions, has been impressed with what he’s seen since joining the staﬀ earlier this year. “It’s remarkable to see the passion these students have for creating amazing sound,” he noted. “There is so much talent in the area and we are thrilled to see them joining us in record numbers this session. I can’t believe some of the projects that the students leave class with, and seeing them grow in confidence as they learn more about production is awesome.” Every class at Studio West gives students hands-on experience with mics, consoles, eﬀects processors, and a variety of digital audio workstations. The thrill of learning in a world-class studio where professionals have worked for decades is an experience that few forget! 

COMMUNITY STUFF

Council Donates Sports Equipment Rancho Bernardo residents are making an impact throughout San Diego County. Rancho Bernardo Community Council member Eileen Kaufman spearheaded a sporting equipment drive, collecting over 100 new and gently used balls, bats, cleats, gloves, and other goods. The council donated the equipment to Mountain View Recreation Center and Southcrest Recreation Center. “The idea was to allow less fortunate areas to enjoy the items so that children can participate in various sports,” said Council President Robin Kaufman.

RB Park Updates

San Diego Student on Genius Junior Ten-year-old San Diegan Christopher Lee, along with his team, 99 Problems But Brains Ain’t One, recently competed on the first season of NBC’s Genius Junior. The game show, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, teams up the brightest children ages 8 to 12 from across the country to compete in complex challenges involving math, memory, logic, spelling, and more. Team 99 Problems advanced to the semi-finals before being defeated by Team Geeks on Fleek. “Genius Junior was an interesting experience for me to see not just how the show was shot but also to be on the inside on the making of the show,” Christopher shared. “I made a lot of cool friends.” Christopher is home-schooled in seventh grade, and his favorite subject is computer science. “When I grow up I want to work in the field of AI, creating artificial intelligence to make people’s lives easier.” He is also passionate about fencing, and is ranked first in the state and second in the country for his age group. He will compete internationally next season.

Fundraiser Supports Breast Cancer Angels

The Rancho Bernardo Recreation Advisory Board, formerly known as the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council, recently invested nearly $40,000 in improvements for Rancho Bernardo Community Park. The board purchased and installed new wind screens and yellow padding for all fields with backboards, as well as replacing the rusty Knaack storage boxes. The board set aside $2,500 for additional security cameras. A new portable stage and stage lighting equipment will be used for theater productions, dance performances, and other events held at the park. The advisory board meets the third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center. Call 858-538-8129 to confirm whether there will be a meeting that month.

92127’s Santaluz Club was decked out in pink for Browse, Brunch and Buy, a fundraiser supporting Southern California nonprofit Breast Cancer Angels. Guests enjoyed an afternoon of live music, hors d’oeuvres, paired wines, and shopping from 15 handpicked vendors, all of whom donated 20 percent of their proceeds to the cause. The event, chaired by Rancho Santa Fe residents Holli Lienau and Adrienne Falzon, raised over $5,000 for Breast Cancer Angels. Breast Cancer Angels helps more than 500 patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer every year in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties. The organization provides financial assistance to patients in the form of medical co-pays, rental expenses, utilities, fuel, food certificates, and more. Money raised in San Diego stays local to help San Diegans in need. For more information visit www.breastcancerangels.org.

rom the border to Oceanside, The Bishop’s School brings together a diverse and thriving student and faculty population on an 11-acre campus in the center of La Jolla. The School was founded in 1909 as a girls’ boarding school when sisters Ellen Browning Scripps and Eliza Virginia Scripps joined Bishop Joseph Horsfall Johnson to create an institution committed to an ideal that still holds true today: School should be an “open door to knowledge.” In 1971, the School merged with the San Miguel School for Boys and today, The Bishop’s School serves 800 students in grades 6 through 12, who live throughout San Diego County. As San Diego’s only independent middle and high school affiliated with the Episcopal Church, Bishop’s is an inclusive community where students come from more than 70 schools representing diverse religious, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. This school year, 48 percent of students self-identify as people of color and 20 percent receive more than $3 million in financial aid. Bishop’s Chaplain The Rev. Nicole Simopoulos-Pigato explained the community this way: “We emphasize compassion for all people, respect for the dignity of every human being, and the calls to love our neighbors as ourselves and to strive for justice and peace in the world.” As a community of learners, Bishop’s programs were designed to meet students’ individual needs – both academically and emotionally, as student wellbeing is a top priority. Many academic options, levels, and paths are offered to best fit every student’s abilities, interests, and potential. This ensures readiness and SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

THA WK NATION T

he 2018-2019 academic year at Del Norte High School (DNHS) is a celebration of traditions, achievements, and new beginnings. The school opened in August 2009 with just under 800 students and a vision for comprehensive, supportive, inspiring education. The 10 years since then have seen tremendous growth and

success, from academics to athletics to extracurriculars. For example, when we spoke to then-Principal Greg Mizel in the very first issue of 92127 Magazine, he shared that there were 25 clubs on campus; today, there are well over 100. The school has earned a wide variety of awards in all areas, ranked 41st in the state and 256th in the country for 2018 by U.S. News and achieving Distinguished School status in its first year of eligibility. More important than the accolades is the impact Del Norte High School makes on individual students. We spoke with new Principal Bryan Schultz to learn more.

THE SUPER DENTISTS: HELPING SAN DIEGO’S CHILDREN SMILE by BECCA BARR | photo provided by The Super Dentists

oing to the dentist can be a scary experience for children and, therefore, stressful for their parents. The Super Dentists, San Diego’s largest and most trusted pediatric dentistry and orthodontic office, hopes to make going to the dentist a positive experience for the whole family. For over 20 years, led by Dr. Nazli Keri (also known as the Tooth Keri) and Dr. Kami Hoss (also known as Dr. HaveOneSuperSmile), this team of exceptional pediatric dentists and orthodontists has fought cavities and crooked teeth. “By providing outof-this-world, kid-centered dental care,” said Dr. Hoss, “the Super Dentists are saving the world one smile at a time.” Their dedication to making dentistry enjoyable is evident in every aspect of their practice. “From the second you step into our theme park-designed offices, you’re someplace special with an accomplished, professional pediatric and orthodontic dental crew that cares about your kids,” shared Dr. Hoss. Their offices feature video games, TVs, movies, music, a toy store, dress-up area, selfie/photo-op area for the kids, and a newsstand and café serving Starbucks coffee for the parents. The Super Dentists focus on convenience, which is perfect for parents with hectic schedules. They have extended hours on weekdays and are open on weekends. They offer not only pediatric dentistry, but orthodontics, parent dentistry, and oral surgery

as well. They work with all insurances. “We never turn away any kid in need of dental care, regardless of their financial situation,” related Dr. Hoss. “We provide flexible and affordable financing.” And with several locations around San Diego County, including Carmel Valley, one is sure to be nearby. All of The Super Dentists are up-to-date on the latest innovations and advances in the field. “We are always on the forefront of new dental technologies,” said Dr. Hoss. “If there is a new device available for a quicker, more comfortable, and enhanced dental result, we have it.” The Super Dentists even have their own dental assisting school. They offer spa-like amenities, including flavored gloves, aromatherapy, warm towels, massage chairs, and virtual reality masks to keep their patients relaxed and pampered. Giving back to the community is another important principle to The Super Dentists, always with a focus on children. They host dental days, providing free dental treatment for kids up to 12 years old. Their annual Candy Buy-Back at Halloween lets kids save their teeth while sending their sweet treats to our troops. The Super Dentists also visit over 800 schools in San Diego to provide free school presentations about the importance of oral health. With a longtime and unending mission of serving San Diego’s children, The Super Dentists are truly a fixture in the local community. 

FROM THE DENTIST

ATHLETIC MOUTHGUARDS Dental injuries are a common consequence of collision or contact sports and recreational activities. Participants of all ages, genders, and skill levels are at risk of sustaining dental injuries at organized and unorganized, recreational, and competitive levels. Obvious sports requiring mouthguards would include football, boxing, and wrestling. Dental injuries are prevalent, however, in many other sports including basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and gymnastics to name a few. The habit of wearing a mouthguard can be established at an early age. The mouthguard should be worn during practices as well as during the game or competition. Since the size and shape of the mouth and dentition is constantly changing in the growing child, the mouthguard should be refitted at least yearly. A stable, nonchanging permanent dentition is obtained usually around 12 through 14 years of age. At this time, the mouthguard can be changed less frequently,

maybe every two years. Special modifications can be made to the mouthguard to allow children undergoing orthodontic care to continue mouthguard use. The medical and dental community supports the use of a well-fitted mouthguard as the best available device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. Mouthguards provide a resilient, protective surface to distribute and dissipate the force of impact, thereby minimizing the severity of traumatic injury to the teeth and surrounding tissue. The mouthguard must be adapted well to the individual so that it can be worn comfortably allowing for adequate retention of the appliance, as well as satisfactory oral function such as swallowing and breathing. The best mouthguard is the one worn during sport activities. Custom mouthguards are considered by many to be the most protective option due to individualized fit,

DR. CHRIS PHAM

however, other mouthguards can be effective if they fit adequately, are worn properly, and can be retained in place. Ask your dentist about mouthguards and their importance for anyone in your family involved in sports activities.

n 2010, Jenna Saylor began offering dance classes at a local community center. The lifelong dancer and former preschool teacher soon had a following of students that outgrew the space, so she opened her own studio in 2012: Inspired Movement Dance and Performing Arts. Today, Jenna’s new studio location in Rancho Santa Fe is equipped to serve students with even more dance offerings. Inspired Movement Dance sets itself apart from other studios through its focus on high-quality training in a healthy environment. Classes are offered to those seeking to be professional as well as recreational dancers. “It’s competitive, but not about winning,” Jenna stated. “It’s about unlocking each dancer’s potential and staying focused on the journey and the process.” From the very beginning, Jenna has been instilling confidence in all her students and helping to develop their talents and unveil their full potential. A number of dance genres are taught at the studio, including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, acro, and musical theater. The Academy Program starts for young dancers at the age of two all the way through teens. As part of the Academy Program, students can participate in the Performance Company, photo by Zeena Gregg Photography dancing at local competitions and performing at community events.

AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: New Life House COO: David Saruk Years with the Company: 8 Year of Establishment: 1985 Address: 17252 Hawthorne Blvd Suite 289 Torrance, CA 90504 Website: www.newlifehouse.com Email: info@newlifehouse.com Phone: 888-357-7577 Description of Business: New Life House is an age-specific, longterm structured aftercare facility designed to teach life skills and provide the community necessary for someone to overcome addiction and establish a new life.

ife-saving,” parents will attest to their experience with New Life House. These are powerful words for a program that has been providing just that for the last 30 years. Founded in 1985, New Life House is the lifeline for young adults to overcome addiction and stay sober for the long-term. The founder of New Life House was inspired to start the program after experiencing addiction treatment. He saw the need for a program to serve as the missing link between short and long-term recovery. In fact, every staff member has experienced the program first-hand, offering insight into what residents may be experiencing. “The program has an unprecedented ability to hone in on the life struggles specific to 18- to 35-year-olds, and allows them to have a community around them in the same age range that can help out with direct experience,” explained David Saruk, Chief Operating Officer. Community is a cornerstone of the program. Family members are integrated throughout the recovery process, and residents build lifelong relationships. The active alumni program is proof of these bonds. “Our goal is to remain successful long after graduation, so we provide a resource for all our alumni to tap into anytime they need assistance,” David said.

The commitment to long-term sobriety sets New Life House apart from other treatment programs. “Trust people that have experience, and realize that recovery is a process that can’t be completed inside of a few months.” The average stay at New Life House is 13 months. Although people struggling with addiction “will be looking to manipulate the situation any way they can to avoid doing the rigorous internal work required to live a good life in recovery,” David acknowledged. This is a tough position for loved ones who are trying to make the best decision. “Building a foundation in recovery takes ample time, and it’s not something that can be accomplished inside of 30 days.” That foundation at New Life House is based on teaching vital life skills alongside treating the character of each resident, including the importance of a strong work ethic, living honestly, benefits of community, and essential coping skills for sobriety. “New Life House understands that abstinence is a vital stepping stone to true development of an individual,” David shared, “and our hands-on approach focuses on giving our residents the platform to become the best person they can be.” 

SPECIALTY DOG TRAINING FOSTERS LIFELONG BONDS BETWEEN CANINES AND THEIR HUMAN COMPANIONS by LAINEY KRAL photos provided by Specialty Dog Training

AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: Specialty Dog Training Owners: Graham and Kyrié Bloem Years in Position: 6

pecialty Dog Training (SDT) has earned a reputation throughout the San Diego community and beyond for providing high-quality, customized, comprehensive dog training. Founded by husband and wife team Graham and Kyrié Bloem, SDT uses positive reinforcement, structure, and clear communication to help local dogs and their families. “No two dogs are the same, and we understand that each needs to be approached as an individual,” Graham explained. SDT offers obedience training from basic commands to advanced off-leash obedience, as well as Canine Good Citizen preparation and testing. Graham and his team work with all ages and breeds, offering private lessons and boot camp programs depending on each family’s needs. They also offer programs for behavioral issues and rehabilitation, therapy prep courses and service dog programs, and placement of pre-trained family and personal security dogs. Graham draws on his nearly two decades of experience to run a program that pet owners can trust. He’s a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, and International Association of Canine Professionals, and he’s an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer and Authorized Mentor Trainer. He has won a number of awards, including 54 • 92127MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

the American Red Cross Real Heroes Award, 10News Leadership Award, Waggy Award for Animal Welfare, and a finalist for the Inspiration Awards. Graham, Kyrié, and the entire SDT pack are proud of the difference they make for local families. They also give back through Shelter to Soldier, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Graham and Kyrié founded in conjunction with SDT. Shelter to Soldier adopts local shelter dogs and trains them as psychiatric service dogs for post 9/11 combat veterans in need. “We knew Shelter to Soldier wouldn’t succeed without leaning heavily on SDT, so we launched both simultaneously,” Graham said. “This allowed Shelter to Soldier to maintain low overhead and in turn help more homeless dogs and veterans in need of highly trained service dogs.” SDT and Shelter to Soldier have created countless success stories over the years, but some have stood out – including Nubs, an abused dog who befriended a U.S. Marine in Iraq under extraordinary circumstances. When LtCol Brian P. Dennis brought his canine companion back to the United States, Graham volunteered to guide Nubs through the rough transition. “Graham spent countless hours every week with Nubs for the better part of three months,” said LtCol Dennis. “What he was able to do was nothing short of miraculous. He took an abused, confused, terrified dog and eased him into the busy world of Southern California.” 

Rustling in the Nest

ver the summer, no students gathered in the halls of Del Norte High School. No crowds of laughing teenagers poured through the gates at 8 a.m. However, despite this apparent quietness, the campus of DNHS was far from empty. Even a quick walk through the gates could show that Del Norte was full of activity over the summer. At the pool, children ages four and up took swimming lessons. There, they participated in a wide range of activities, from introductory lessons to preparation for competitive swim. Some high school swimmers also worked at the camps as lifeguards. The fields of Del Norte also buzzed with activity, as many fall sports teams began to practice during the preseason. The football

players completed drills on the field. The cross country team logged long runs and hill workouts around the community. Color guard perfected their skills outside of the Performing Arts Center, preparing for the fall marching band season. Pole vault practiced in the evening to prepare for their club season and to stay sharp for the spring track season. Even the classrooms weren’t empty at Del Norte. Many incoming juniors took an SAT prep class to hone their skills for the August or October session of the test. They either spent three or five days per week at class, where they took weekly tests, listened to lectures, and completed practice exercises. High schoolers weren’t the only students at Del Norte during the summer – future

Nighthawks were also hard at work. Each year, the DNHS basketball team hosts summer camps for elementary and middle school-aged players; these camps serve as a fundraiser for the high school program. This past summer, high school players volunteered, and campers spent the week completing drills and competitions. Whether it was hosting academics or athletics, Del Norte never slept this summer. The school was full of energy as the community came together on campus. 

San Diego’s Haunted Houses Oﬀer Thrills and Chills by LAINEY KRAL

et ready to get spooky this fall! Whether you’re looking for family-friendly chills or the scare of a lifetime, San Diego offers a variety of haunted experiences this Halloween season. Most open in October or late September, and some are open year-round with special events in October. 

THE WHALEY HOUSE

THE SCREAM ZONE

SPOOKY SCHOOLS

OTHER LOCAL HAUNTS

Known as one of the most haunted houses in the country, Old Town’s Whaley House Museum is open year-round for tours. The museum highlights the house’s early history, with a focus on the late 1800s. The house’s long history includes plenty of ghostly folklore, and legends that its earliest residents are still haunting the halls.

San Diego’s Scream Zone at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is three attractions in one. The House of Horror, Haunted Hayride, and KarnEvil all feature creepy clowns and murderous mayhem – not suitable for children under 10. The general Scream Zone area is open free of charge so the rest of the family can enjoy the atmosphere and food vendors while the thrill-seekers sample the attractions.

For closer-to-home thrills and chills, many local schools host fall festivals and haunted houses in October. Admission is either free or supports school programs, which makes it a great way to give back while getting your scare on. Look up your local school to see what they’re offering and what age ranges the attractions are suitable for.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell? by SCOTT VOAK

et’s dispense with the obvious: if you ask a real estate agent, it is always a good time to buy or sell – we don’t make money otherwise. But, is it a good time for you to buy or sell? Different question. In this issue, I am just going to approach this from the standpoint of your primary residence. Next issue we can look at investment property. I’ve always believed that the main purpose of your home is to provide stability for your family. The forced saving aspect of paying off a 30-year mortgage is very valuable if you are going to be in the home long enough to make a dent in the principal and appreciation is definitely a huge plus, but prices don’t always have to go up. Over the next few years, prices should be more stable than they have been as rising interest rates both make homes more expensive to afford (pushing prices down) and

On the other hand, (pushing prices up). if you’re thinking of selling to sit on the sidelines Unfortunately, if you are buying, this means and wait for the crash, I think you’re making a that although prices may stay relatively level, the mistake and might find yourself priced out of affordability will go down as rates go up. So, look what you would consider an acceptable home. for a home that will fit your needs for the next Over the next few years, I would not plan 10 to 12 years and not just the next four to five on real estate rising or falling to any great years. There isn’t much value in waiting either degree. Focus on the best place to raise your as the lack of inventory will prevent prices from family or live in retirement. You might just be falling much while rising rates will reduce your in the house long purchasing power. In other words, you might enough to make a not be able to afford more later. dent in that 30-year On the sales side, once again it should mortgage.  be about your personal and family situation.

A NEW FORCE to be reckoned with MEET THE SAN DIEGO FORCE COACHES Coach at San Diego Force FC // OCAMPO BROTHERS Bringing the Force of Club and High School Soccer Together After six years of working in the 4S Ranch community, the Ocampo brothers have helped to develop a club soccer culture at the Force FC that is rich with community spirit. Adrian and Jose Ocampo grew up on the streets playing soccer and spending all of their family time watching their dad play at one soccer field or another. Today, they bring that simple, passionate love for the sport to the club level and hope to continue the Nighthawk winning tradition by entering the high school soccer realm. Together, the Ocampo Brothers have shared decades of success at the State, Regional, and National level and have developed top talent on the girls’ side of the sport. The Nighthawks ladies soccer program will offer another opportunity for them to brand their style of play and continue to service the community with nights of enjoyable soccer for families to watch and follow, just like the brothers’ upbringing.
