Household Fiscal Year?
W
Derrick Breaux Publisher
hile many businesses use a calendar year for convenient accounting purposes, I’ve come to realize that the vast majority of people actually run their homes similar to a fiscal year basis. Sure, everyone likes to gear up and prepare for the big symbolic New Year celebration, but for most families, Jan. 1 merely marks the halfway point on the annual journey of household responsibility and schedules. Shouldn’t there be a big prize waiting for each of us when we finish the year? A calendar year ending in December doesn’t seem very exciting. Kids go back to school in January – certainly no prize for most of them. Tax season is looming right after the beginning of the new calendar year. Again, not very exciting for most of us. Although technically a new year, everyone is typically still quite involved with trying to get through their fiscal year. What I mean by this is that the end of the year for most families seems to take place in June. That’s right… June is officially the end of our household fiscal year. June is when kids finish school – in fact, many kids graduate or get promoted to the next grade. It is the month that moms and dads are typically limping through the finish line donating their final volunteer hours in the classrooms (I have to admit that I’ve read a few hilarious postings about this in some of my recent social media binges). Spring sports are finishing up. The gift of warm weather is upon us. Summer must be the end-of-year prize! Although we are spoiled in San Diego and blessed with beautiful weather year round, I still love summer. Summer brings freedom for kids – I’m sure some parents may argue that it can also bring boredom. Summer is a time for family vacations, trips to the beach, outside barbeques, walks with the dog, playing outside until sunset, and creating lifelong memories. For my daughter who recently graduated from high school, summer is a time of transition. It marks the end of a huge chapter in her life and the beginning of the rest of her adult life. The start of her new household fiscal year comes with unlimited promise, excitement, uncertainty, exploration, dedication, and nervousness – all wrapped up into a couple of months. Perhaps we should all rethink the traditional New Year celebration concept. What we should all really be celebrating is a Year “End” party (in June). I see the Year End celebration as a festive event where adults get to congratulate each other for actually making it through the year in one piece. The occasion should include high fives, hugs, toasts, and perhaps, some type of victory dance. I definitely think that we might be on to something here. I hope everyone has a great summer!

A Literacy Hero
BOBBIE KUNATH GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR JCBC
F
or those going through Juvenile Court, it’s not an easy path to travel down. But 92128 resident Bobbie Kunath provides a safe haven for these youths in the form of the Juvenile Court Book Club (JCBC). “I was motivated to join by a close friend, Margaret Agne, who had volunteered, and was so delighted with the program and the book discussions that she encouraged me to attend,” said Bobbie. “Right away, I knew it was for me!” For her active involvement she was recently awarded the Literacy Hero Award, reserved for volunteers who demonstrate dedication to the incarcerated youth. Bobbie is presently the new volunteer coordinator, welcoming new volunteers and insuring they have the appropriate background clearances required to work with the students. She is also a member of the Board of Directors. Previous positions she has held are chair of the Scholarship Committee and site coordinator of the Girls Rehabilitation Facility. Bobbie explained that JCBC provides many services for incarcerated youth in San Diego County such as monthly book discussions of selected titles by JCBC and one-on-one tutoring for those who need additional help. JCBC even provides college scholarships for those who qualify. Authors and speakers often visit the group to speak about their books and give presentations. Bobbie encourages the community to visit www.juvenilecourtbookclub.com to find out more about how you can help. JCBC is currently seeking donations to purchase new books for the students. ¢

PETCO ANNOUNCES NEW FACILITY IN RANCHO BERNARDO
R
ancho Bernardo is already home to many big names such as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Northrup Grumman, and Microsoft. But this technology park is about to get a new neighbor, and they’re bringing some four-legged friends along too. Petco recently announced that they acquired property for a new headquarters at 10850 Via Frontera (for those who may not know, that’s right next door to us at ZCode Media!). Lisa Stark, Manager of Corporate Communications for Petco, expressed that the purpose of the new office is to consolidate the employees from four separate support hubs around San Diego and put them under one roof. This includes over 650 “Petco partners” breaking in the new 300,000 square-foot facility once construction is complete. “As our vision for healthier pets, happier people and a better world grows, so does our company,” said Jim Myers, Chief Executive Officer at Petco. “We now have a tremendous opportunity to intentionally design a central campus that reflects our values and showcases what we can achieve with the Power of Together.” The plan is to extensively remodel the existing site beginning fall of this year, to be completed in full by fall 2015. It’s no surprise either that this new support center will be an “open, inviting environment” and pet-friendly, meaning employees are encouraged to bring their pets to work. “Petco has long been a major local employer in San Diego and supports a wide range of philanthropic and recreational activities in
the area,” said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “We’re thrilled they’ve renewed their commitment to the city and are creating an innovative workspace that will enhance the wellness of their employees and our community.” ¢

ome may argue that a child, slightly older than a toddler, may not yet know what they want to do when they grow up. Sixteen-year-old, Kylie Yamane’s story tells otherwise. “I was 4 years old when I asked my parents if I could take dance lessons,” recalled Kylie. She began her dance career at the San Diego Dance Centre and has since received training in all genres of dance. Today, Kylie – who was born and raised in 92128 – is a very accomplished dancer in her Carmel Mountain community. With a slew of awards under her belt, and exceptional grades in school this young lady is headed toward a bright future. “Since I was 8 years old, I have received numerous judges awards and have either placed first or in the top five at the national level,” shared Kylie. Most recently, she was recognized as the 2014 USA National Solo Champion and “Super Sensational Dancer” at USA Dance Camp competing against hundreds of dancers. She also was awarded the title of “Standout Scholarship Dancer” at West Coast Elite Dance.

Kylie, who is currently attending her sophomore year at Rancho Bernardo High School, is on the school’s Tour de Force (TDF) team. “I auditioned for the TDF as a freshman and was fortunate to be selected as one of fifteen members for the competition team,” said Kylie. “I always have a great time with all of my teammates, attending summer dance camps, performing in front of the student body, “I AUDITIONED and competing throughout FOR THE TDF AS A California. I’m really looking FRESHMAN AND WAS forward to returning next year.” Speaking of school, FORTUNATE TO BE this is another area in which SELECTED AS ONE OF Kylie shines. “What I like FIFTEEN MEMBERS FOR most about my school is that everyone, teachers and THE COMPETITION students are all so supportive TEAM.” – KYLIE and helpful, as well as a tremendous amount of spirit and Bronco pride,” shared Kylie. Apart from Dance P.E., Kylie’s favorite subject is Honors PreCalculus. “I earned a ‘Scholar Dancer’ patch for my letterman jacket for receiving at least a 4.0 GPA last semester,” offered Kylie. As for her plans after she completes school, Kylie replied, “I’m thinking that I might want to pursue a career in marketing and advertising. I’ve always considered myself to be a creative thinker and this might be something that I’d like to explore. I’m not quite ready to give up dance though. I need to figure out how to combine both!” ¢

According to North San Diego Business Chamber President and CEO Debra Rosen, the old name and logo “no longer defined our membership and was not representative of the area we serve.” Their goal was to create a name that reflected the larger geographic area that encompasses their members, from down near Interstate 8 to the northern border of Murietta. With their new logo of two figures with open arms, the Chamber wants to welcome new professionals and provide the stability and comradery that they seek. Working in tandem with Bottom Line Marketing (BLM), utilizing surveys from both
members and non-members, the Chamber was able to understand not only who they were as an entity, but what minor changes were needed. One of those changes was becoming the “only Accredited U.S. Chamber in San Diego County.” With accreditation, chamber members can rest assured that their membership fees are going towards providing assistance for their business, connecting with partners, and being a valid voice in a “fastgrowing business community.”
VISIT
The North San Diego Business Chamber may have changed in name and face, but it’s size and spirit is promised to be just as unique as before. “As a team, we’re compassionate and approachable to all our members… Most importantly, we are relevant to our members.” ¢

:::: HEALTHY SMILES
Can I straighten teeth without braces? The answer is yes, with Invisalign. Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. Traditionally you just pop in a new aligner every two weeks and your teeth move. Since patients’ number one concern before starting is how long treatment will take, Propel has come to the rescue. PROPEL works with the patient’s own biology by stimulating the bone surrounding the teeth; helping the teeth move faster and more predictably into their ideal position. The result allows us to provide the same Invisalign Treatments but with much shorter treatment times. Treatment is typically 50% faster with PROPEL treatment! Usually, each Invisalign aligner needs to be worn for 22 hours per day for 2 weeks to obtain the desired result. Most cases are 12 months in length and most need to have at least one refinement consisting of multiple additional aligners. PROPEL Orthodontics is a newly introduced system that speeds Invisalign treatment, with aligner changes twice as fast at 7 to10 days, and with reduced or no need for refinements. A 12 month treatment can then be completed in as little as 6 months.

Swing for Service
BHCC OFFERS GOLF MEMBERSHIP FOR ACTIVE MILITARY
P
roclaiming gratitude to the troops who protect the freedoms that all Americans love, a local country club chose Memorial Day to announce a new category of membership especially created for active duty military personnel and their families. “At Bernardo Heights Country Club (BHCC), many of our members come from military backgrounds,” noted Charley Crew, Chair of the membership committee. “We wanted to create a membership category exclusively for active duty personnel who love to play golf and want a true country club experience that also satisfies the military’s need for flexibility, all at a very affordable price.” To Crew’s knowledge, BHCC is the first private club in its area to do this. Active duty military members, their spouses and children can enjoy unlimited golfing and full social privileges. The initiation fee paid by regular members will be waived, and they will not be subject to any assessments or food and beverage minimums. Monthly dues will be discounted by 40% from what regular members pay. Recognizing the need for flexibility, military members may elect to stop paying dues when they are deployed out of the area and may reactivate their memberships upon return to San Diego. They may also keep their memberships active while on deployment if their family members remain in San Diego and want to continue using the club. When military members retire or leave active duty, they have the option of transferring to other categories of membership offered by the club. BHCC is located in the Rancho Bernardo community of North

County San Diego. It is currently the home course of approximately 350 golfing members and their families. For information on BHCC and their amenities head to www.bhcc.net. ¢

Bryan Brigham Takes the Lead in Helping Rancho Bernardo Residents Embrace the Spirit of the Fourth by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Spark Photography
B
ryan Brigham and his wife Margie have lived in Rancho Bernardo for the past twenty-four years. “The community is wonderful,” gushed Bryan. “We have great neighbors, friends and it is a great neighborhood for families.” While raising his two children, Chris (age 29), and Katie (age 23) in 92128, Bryan has always remained active in his community. Now, as president for the community’s annual Spirit of the Fourth event, Bryan continues his efforts in giving back while also helping Rancho Bernardo flourish for future generations to come. Bryan has a long history in community involvement. “In the past, I volunteered in the Poway National Little League, Poway Girls Softball, Poway Youth Soccer, Rancho Bernardo Youth Soccer, Rancho Bernardo Pop Warner Football, Rancho Bernardo Little League, Rancho Bernardo Girls Softball board member, coach and manager,” shared Bryan. He also volunteered with a competitive cheer team, was a travel baseball coach and manager, and was president, vice president, and member for the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council for eight years. As for his latest undertaking, Bryan stated, “I was approached by the Spirit of the Fourth past President Steve DeMatteo whom I had met through the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council. I believed it would allow me to continue to give back to the community I have grown to appreciate while embracing my patriotism for our country.” Bryan explained that his favorite part about being president is getting to see the community enjoy all the event activities, including the pancake breakfast and firework show. “I can’t take credit for any one accomplishment,” added Bryan. “It takes a group of dedicated volunteers to put everything together. It’s a work in progress.” During his day job, Bryan is a backflow technician and fire inspector for a fire sprinkler company. In his free time he enjoys barbequing and smoking meat, taking walks and bike rides, bird watching, traveling, and of course spending time with his two grandsons, Wyatt and Blake. “We especially enjoy decorating our home for Christmas,” he added. “It makes us happy to see families walk by and enjoy the lights.” As for his hopes for the future of Spirit of the Fourth event, Bryan replied, “To continue the forty-five year tradition for another forty-five years so my children and grandchildren can enjoy their community and all its traditions.” ¢ Name: Community: Volunteer Affiliation: Profession: Family: Name of Group: Mission:

riends and family often refer to the McLeans as Mr. and Mrs. RB because of their involvement in the community. Brian works in RB a mile from their house. Cindy grew up in RB and attended Chaparral Elementary as their children do now. They were married at St. Michael’s Catholic Church where they are now parishioners, and Brian’s parents live in RB as did Cindy’s when they were alive. Because Brian and Cindy have lived in RB for over thirty years, people assume they are native Californians, but Brian is from Illinois while Cindy is from New Jersey. They’ve remained in the Knolls of RB due to the family friendly community, great schools, proximity to Brian’s practice and family and their wonderful friends.

92128’s “Distinguished School”
California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson named 424 public elementary schools as California Distinguished Schools for their strong commitment and innovative approaches to improving student academic achievement. Among these was 92128’s own Creekside Elementary School. “I applaud these strong, thriving schools that are making such impressive strides in preparing their students for continued success,” Torlakson said. “This award is well-deserved by these school communities for their enduring dedication to high standards, hard work, and unwavering support.” The 2014 California Distinguished Schools Program focuses on California’s students’ right to an equitable and rigorous education, and recognizes those schools that have made progress in narrowing the academic achievement gap.
Speech Master Karly Hampshire
The Rotary Four-Way Test is a set of questions that Rotary members ask themselves when looking at a situation or project: Is it the truth; is it fair to all concerned; will it build goodwill and better friendships; will it be beneficial to all concerned? The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary recently sponsored a Four-Way Test Speech Contest where photo provided by Jim Dunny competitors were asked to speak about the Rotary Four-Way Test and apply it to different situations. Speakers used examples of utilizing the test in social media, school, the community, and situations of discrimination, to name a few. Karly Hampshire, a senior from Scripps Ranch High School, took the top spot for her speech on applying the Four-Way Test to solve non-violent conflicts.

92128 Resident Encourages Going Green
Sarah Freeze, an AP Environmental Studies student at Mt. Carmel High School, has truly taken her class studies to heart. As part of her teacher’s challenge to come up with a “green” project, Sarah convinced sixty people, including her own family, to walk or bike more to nearby places rather than take the car. “So far, I calculated that about 900 driving miles have been saved. My family of four has saved approximately 560 of these driving miles so far,” Sarah shared. She encourages the community to also save on gasoline and reduce air pollution this summer by walking or biking to their daily destinations. Sarah added, “Not only does every bit save gas, but by trying it once, it shows people how easy it is to walk every once in a while.”

Lunch with Arianna Huffington
Hometown Hero
Eileen Kaufman was astounded when her daughter, Robin, a wellknown figure in Rancho Bernardo, called her after the RB Hall of Fame Gala to casually tell her that she had saved a life. Patti Hall was Robin’s guest at the gala and had begun to choke on her food. Robin quickly and calmly went behind her and performed the Heimlich maneuver until the food was dislodged. Robin said, “I have to say, I’m one of those you want to have around in any sort of emergency as I don’t get worked up. I always stay calm and don’t make a big deal out of things.” Since saving Patti’s life, Robin is calling for more residents to participate in CPR and AED training in the community. Eileen shared that Robin’s goal is to teach over 1,000 residents this life-saving skill by end of this year.
Arianna Huffington, Chair, President, and Editor in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group recently spoke at Sony Electronics about success and the way she is working to redefine and reevaluate a successful life. Recognizing the expectations placed on people for the pursuits of money and power, Arianna shed light on “a new way forward,” which helped her realize what she truly valued in her life. The event, Lunch with Arianna Huffington, was hosted by the newly renamed North San Diego Business Chamber, and each guest received an autographed copy of Arianna’s new book, Thrive, donated by the Del Mar Country Club.

:::: IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Providing Fresh, Healthy Fare at Your Convenience by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photos by Tyler McElhaney
In
2004, Maria and Sean Pourteymour were parents to their then 4-year-old child, which made finding quick and wholesome meals a top priority. However, finding restaurants that could meet this need turned out to be an unexpected challenge for the couple. It was at this time that Maria – someone who had grown up in the restaurant business – and Sean conceptualized the idea of opening up their own eating establishment. Since Maria is Greek and Sean, Persian, they wanted their restaurant to not only
36 • 92128Magazine.com • July | August 2014
provide healthier fare served at a faster pace, but to also showcase food that symbolized the blend of cultures within their family. And so became Luna Grill, a casual eatery providing Mediterranean and Near East cuisine committed to serving delicious and nutritious meals in a sensible amount of time. Aside from getting fresh food to the customer before they can say “kabob,” the philosophy at Luna Grill is to make every experience an excellent one – with a focus on quality customer care. “We are only as good as our weakest link,” offered Maria, “therefore each and every team member is key to making your experience exceptional, and we set our standards very high in terms of the quality and caliber of the personnel we hire.” Another component to the success of the business is the quality of food that is served – something, Maria explained, that makes Luna Grill stand out among its competitors. With such popular menu items as the mediterranean chicken salad, the vegetarian platter and classic chicken kabobs, the eatery provides quality all-natural ingredients that are prepared to order. “We are dedicated to finding SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT
superior ingredients for our recipes including all-natural, grass-fed meats, organic locally harvested and sustainably farmed ingredients whenever possible to offer our customer the best possible food at a reasonable price point,” explained Maria. Additionally, the majority of Luna Grill’s daily marinades, dressings and sauces are made from scratch. “You can taste and experience the difference,” she added.

Q&A
with Beth Ugoretz, Executive Director of Project Wildlife
BETH UGORETZ At-A-Glance Name: Community: Title: Education: Family: Hobbies & Interests: Favorite Activity in 92128:
Beth Ugoretz Olivenhain Online Marketing Manager BA, Stanford University; JD, Lewis & Clark Northwestern School of Law Husband, one daughter, three dogs and a horse Riding and showing horses, volunteering at animal shelter Walking in natural areas
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PROJECT WILDLIFE? Project Wildlife was founded in San Diego in 1972 as a nonprofit organization with the mission to improve the quality of life for local wildlife and the community by acting as the primary resource for animal rehabilitation and conservation education in San Diego County. We care for injured, abandoned and sick wildlife throughout San Diego County with the goal of returning healthy animals to the wild, and we provide educational programming for adults and children topics related to local wildlife. Although we do not handle large predators, such as coyotes or cougars, we do work closely with other rehabilitation organizations that care for those animals. Project Wildlife serves one of the most biologically diverse areas in the United States, home to a significant number of threatened species, making us a critical community resource. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR? While we have a large volunteer base, Project Wildlife has a very small staff, so I wear many hats as executive director. Overall, I hope to lead the organization to fulfill our mission by helping as many animals as possible and educating the public on how they can better coexist with our abundance of wildlife. We are so fortunate to live in an area where we can see wild animals on a daily basis in almost every corner of our County. Since we are funded totally by donations, a part of my job is
40 • 92128Magazine.com • July | August 2014
getting the word out about our organization so that the community understands the critical role we play in keeping San Diego wild and helps to support our activities. I also lead our efforts to ensure that the animals in our care get the best possible chance to recover and be reintroduced to their wild environment. WHAT KIND OF WILDLIFE DO RESIDENTS CO-EXIST WITH IN 92128? 92128 residents are fortunate to have a great deal of open space surrounding their residential communities. The rolling hills and trails are home to a large variety of song birds, raptors, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, bobcats and coyotes.
you can do for the patient. Time is often of the essence, so the sooner you can get an animal to us the better. The porch at our Triage Center in Linda Vista is open 24/7 for you to secure an animal overnight, where it can take some time to rest. If you are handling the animal yourself, always wear gloves or use a towel to protect your hands and place the animal in a container with air holes. Do not give it food or water, as its system is not in a condition to handle either. It is illegal to hold or keep wildlife without a rehab permit for more than 48 hours, but we don’t recommend even keeping it overnight. The sooner you can provide it with a warm, dark, quiet place, and get it to us, the better our chances are of helping it.
WHAT SHOULD RESIDENTS DO IF THEY ENCOUNTER AN ANIMAL IN DISTRESS? If you find a baby animal and are worried that it might have been abandoned, it is best to leave it and watch to see if the parent returns, as often they are simply out finding food. As mentioned below, you can also carefully place a baby back in its nest if it has fallen out. If you happen upon a wild animal that appears to be sick, injured or truly orphaned, remember that humans are considered a threat to wildlife, so even if you are trying to help, too much handling can create a deadly amount of stress. Act calmly and quietly. If you are sure it is injured, sick, or orphaned, bringing it quickly to a licensed rehab facility is the very best thing
DOES PROJECT WILDLIFE HAVE A LARGE VOLUNTEER BASE? Project Wildlife is very fortunate to have a large and dedicated group of volunteers. We have about 600 active volunteers for our organization. Some work at our Triage Center to help care for and stabilize our animal patients or help us transport animals from drop off sites to our Triage Center. Others work in about seventy satellite care centers, principally located in volunteers’ homes, where wildlife continues to rehabilitate prior to eventual release, or help to build and repair our cages and aviaries. We have education volunteers who present programs to children and adults throughout the community. We also have volunteers who answer our informational phone
line or who help with the many administrative tasks required for keeping track of our patients for reporting to the government agencies that regulate wildlife rehabilitation. ARE THERE ANY DANGEROUS ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN 92128? Most wildlife prefers to keep a distance from humans, but some get close to residential areas simply trying to find food and survive, or care for their young. Pets should not be left unattended in areas that are frequented by coyotes. Even a few minutes alone in a yard can be dangerous for small pets. Some species may be considered simply a nuisance, but can still pose a danger if they feel they need to protect their young. It is best to take preventative measures to discourage wildlife to prevent unwanted encounters. Do not leave dog or cat food outside, as it may attract animals looking for food. Keeping lids tightly shut on trash cans, sealing up access points to attics and crawl spaces, and picking up any fruit that drops can go a long way in protecting your property without harming wildlife. HOW CAN RESIDENTS OF 92128 SAFELY GUIDE ANIMALS TO NOT HARM THEIR GRASS, PLANTS, AND FLOWERS? Most wildlife will avoid humans, if possible; however, as urbanization has begun to encroach into our natural spaces, some animals have adapted to survive in humaninhabited areas better than others (e.g. opossums, skunks, raccoons). These animals still tend to move through these areas; however, we sometimes unwittingly encourage them to stay longer or revisit a site by creating opportunities for an easy meal or resting place. To prevent unwanted wildlife situations, we recommend the following: secure all garbage cans and/or keep them inside a garage or shed until trash pickup, clean up all clutter and debris piles that may encourage nesting or denning areas, feed pets indoors or be sure to bring pet food inside at night (also a good idea to clean up pet waste quickly), secure openings into structures and remove plants or structures that may provide easier access into attics and crawlspaces (e.g. ivy on walls). If these efforts are not enough, there are also some simple and safe deterrents to discourage unwanted wildlife visitors in homes or gardens: try using a chili powder spray (or just plain chili powder) near or on plants to discourage nibbling (use carefully if pets or children are present, and wash thoroughly before consuming) – the chemical, capsaicin, is an irritant to mammals so it is ok to use in bird seed; place ammonia-soaked rags (or spray directly) around areas wildlife finds attractive (only for outdoor use); use motion-sensitive lights or moving objects (like balloons, garden flags and oscillating fans) to startle wildlife

away from your home or backyard. The most important thing to remember is that poisons and pesticides can have far-reaching and unintended consequences – like a ripple-effect on other species – and tend to be ineffective at solving on-going wildlife concerns (new animals may simply move in). The better idea is to first correctly identify your problem so you can seek a targeted and safe solution (sometimes referred to as integrated pest management). IS IT TRUE THAT BABY ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDLED BY HUMANS WILL BE REJECTED BY THEIR PARENTS? It is a myth that wildlife will reject its young if handled by humans. Wild parents have to occasionally leave to find food. Many animals come back to find that their babies are gone because a well-intentioned person thought they were orphaned or abandoned. Our website offers tips on how to determine if wildlife needs our help or if it warrants taking some time to observe and wait for the parents to return. Animals are always better off if they can stay with the parents. In fact, some species such as crows have very tight knit family groups, and it is very distressing to have a family member taken away. YOUR WEBSITE TALKS ABOUT THE WORD “IMPRINT.” CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOW IT AFFECTS LOCAL WILDLIFE? To imprint wildlife means to teach a young animal to associate humans with a source of food, as they did their parents, thereby removing the necessary aversion they need to have towards humans for their safety and survival. It is actually illegal to intentionally imprint wildlife by trying to rehabilitate on your own or choosing to raise and keep a wild baby as a pet. DO YOU HAVE ANY REMARKABLE STORIES FROM THE PROJECT WILDLIFE TRIAGE CENTER? Every patient and species is important to us so we celebrate every successful release! The ones that stand out the most in our minds are the animals whose injuries were preventable. One that stands out in our minds is the opossum who made the unfortunate decision to sniff around what turned out to be an electric fence. He was in critical condition when he arrived with close to 40% of his face covered in burns. After many months of treatment and therapy, he is healing nicely and preparing to return to the wild. However, often times, it can be the juvenile bird that finds it hard to survive and find food in its first year that simply needs our expertise to help it turn the corner and survive after arriving at our door, emaciated and anemic. It is always gratifying to see them gain strength and return to the wild.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR WILDLIFE EXTRACTION/RESCUE? ARE THE ANY TYPES OF DIY EXTRACTIONS AND/OR RESCUE TECHNIQUES? Some people confuse wildlife extraction or exclusion from their homes with wildlife rescue. We rescue animals that have been injured or abandoned, or that appear sick. We do not “rescue” healthy animals that happen to live in your neighborhood! But there are things you can do to keep wildlife from making their home in your home. We have teamed with a company that does humane wildlife extraction and exclusion. While this is a fee-based service, Project Wildlife receives a portion of the proceeds. Humane exclusion involves encouraging the animals to leave your home, physically closing up any sites where they could reenter and educating the homeowner as to how to keep them out. People often do not understand that pest control companies that trap animals are required by law to euthanize the animals that they trap, so they are not taken out and released somewhere else. If you trap and remove animals without closing their entrance points, new animals will soon come to take their place. We would encourage people with wildlife issues in their home to check our website for information about extraction services. WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO IF THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN HELPING THE LOCAL WILDLIFE? Residents can help local wildlife in several ways. They can start by minimizing harmful interactions with wildlife by not leaving food outside where it might attract wild animals that can become a nuisance or be dangerous to pets. Be watchful while driving in your neighborhood and drive slowly enough to stop for a crossing animal, especially during early morning and late afternoon hours. Donations to Project Wildlife are greatly
appreciated, as it helps support our efforts to provide healthy wild diets, medical care and rehabilitation of animals for eventual release. Although local humane societies and the County Department of Animal Services refer wild animals to us, we get no funding from them. We are supported solely through donations, so donations of any amount help us to help local wildlife! We also recruit for and train volunteers to join our team. We particularly need people who might be willing to work towards operating a satellite rehab facility in their home by taking in injured or abandoned animals of a particular species. We help to create aviaries or caging systems for the animals in our care and provide species-specific training to committed individuals. One of the best ways to positively affect wildlife is to remember that we share our communities with them, and should respect their right to space and the means to survive. This thought may help in encouraging small behaviors that can have a big impact, like not dumping dangerous materials down storm drains, recycling and conserving resources, or simply observing a safe distance from all wildlife. One of the most common and potentially dangerous effects we have on wildlife has to do with our trash. Items like yogurt cups, fishing line, cup lids and plastic ring holders can trap and injure wildlife, and/or cause major damage if consumed. Simple things, like cutting up these containers or balling up fishing line and properly disposing of it, can help. Even one conscientious act may save a life, and if we all participate, think of the difference we can make!
WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART ABOUT WORKING WITH PROJECT WILDLIFE? THE MOST CHALLENGING? The most rewarding part of working for Project Wildlife is helping individual animals who often have suffered the negative consequences of human interactions to be saved, heal and stay wild! I just love living in a community where I have the opportunity to see wildlife thriving, and it is thrilling to be able to keep our wild neighbors healthy for current and future residents. The most challenging aspect is perhaps seeing how much there is to do and knowing that we only do what our resources will allow. WHAT GOALS HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED WITH PROJECT WILDLIFE? WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH? I have only been with Project Wildlife for a short time, but last year we took in approximately 8,000 wild animals and, even with limited resources, we were able to release a much higher percentage of those animals than the national average. My goals are to help people become more aware of how they impact their wild environment and more aware of what Project Wildlife does for wildlife in San Diego County. I also hope to increase our base of support so that we can continue to pursue our mission!

n honor of returning veterans, over 500 runners, supporters, and volunteers crowded the track at Rancho Bernardo High School (RBHS) for the annual Team Red, White, and Blue 12Hour Team Relay. Groups of both RBHS and Westview High School students joined special guests Stephanie Ouellette, Sgt. Randy Moffet of USMC (retired), and Hospital Corpsman Nolan of USN. RBHS student Samantha Geier sang the national anthem, and the RBHS Royal Regiment Drum Line led the way in placing fifty American flags around the track’s perimeter. Teams rounded the track for twelve hours in shifts, to the tunes of DJ’s from SOS Entertainment. County Supervisor Dave Roberts, a staunch supporter of the event, joined the crowd on the final lap and closing ceremonies. Complete with a patriotic rendition of Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to Be an American”, participants retrieved the fifty flags that had been posted along the track. After all their hard work, individual and team prizes were awarded. The RBHS Men’s Cross Country Team and the Crossfit PM team completed the most laps and were awarded with gift certificates. Michael Shepherd, of the RBHS wrestling team, and Michael Sun, representing Crossfit, each had their names drawn to win prizes. ¢

Advice to Incoming Sophomores A
lright, sophomores listen up. Junior year is probably the most stressful and important year in your high school career – maybe even the most important in your entire life. You see, it doesn’t exactly start in August when school starts. No, it starts the second summer when you begin studying for the dreaded SAT and start working on the pounds of summer homework. After you spend the entire two months dedicating your life to one test, summer is going to be over before you know it and your junior year is going to start. Well, if you’re taking more than four AP classes junior year, because as a sophomore you thought you were able to handle one or two, say bye to your social life, your sleep, and possibly your straight A’s. Not only will you be struggling to juggle your grades, social life, and sleep, but you will be struggling to breathe. However, if you have time to catch your breath and really pay attention to what’s going on in your junior year, you will be amazed. Not only will you have some of the best teachers that you could possibly have, but you’re surrounded by some of the best athletes, musicians,
50 • 92128Magazine.com • July | August 2014
and intellectuals. Because we have phenomenal mentors who pride themselves in the fact that they are working with some of the hardestworking students, this year we were able to do extremely well in all aspects of school – sports, music, and academics. Even though junior year is weighted heavily academically in terms of college applications, don’t just spend all of your time studying for that AP chemistry test or writing that AP English essay. Maybe go watch our CIF champion boys tennis team play a match in the spring, head to one of our award-winning choir’s concert, or go watch our brightest students buzz in for an answer at a tournament. Whatever you do, don’t just spend your entire year with your nose in a book, because while junior year is undoubtedly one of the most stressful, it’s also one of the most rewarding years. ¢ Jenny Jeong is an incoming senior at Rancho Bernardo High School.

CURIOSITY Point Loma's Beautiful Landmarks and Nature by JESSICA WOODS | photos by Tyler McElhaney
W
e're deep into summer: the sun is bright, the sand is soft, and the ocean is so inviting. For what remains of your summer break, take a day to explore Point Loma, offering historical landmarks, tide pools, awe-inspiring cliffs and hiking trails.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse takes you back in time to when sailing ships relied on these beacons to guide them through safe waters. Built in 1854, its light could be seen for twenty-five miles. However, the builders didn’t take into account the signature low fog that would obscure the light, and so in 1891, the lighthouse was closed and a new Point Loma lighthouse was constructed at a lower elevation. The old lighthouse has now been converted into a museum, where you can explore what life was like there and see the old lamp whose large beam once permeated the peninsula. Below the lighthouses are a series of silent sentinels collectively known as Fort Rosecrans. The Point Loma peninsula shapes a natural barrier at the entrance of San Diego Bay, and in 1899 the United States Department of War built a series of gun batteries into the cliffs as a strategic harbor defense. While you can’t
52 • 92128Magazine.com • July | August 2014
enter the batteries themselves today, you can walk alongside these massive strongholds. Whale-watching is popular here, but head to the tide pools to see the tinier creatures that make homes on our shores. Sea stars, mussels, crabs, and other gastropods come and go with the tides. While fun to look at, rangers warn not to touch the animals, as many of them are sensitive and can be harmed or killed from being handled by humans. The tide pools are parallel to the Coastal Tidepool Trail, and more hiking can be explored on the two-mile Bayside Trail. For history hounds, the Cabrillo National Monument offers a closer look at the first explorer to land on the United States’ western shores, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With a large statue to commemorate his exploration, the park also features annual reenactments of his landing. ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
Garden S TRANSFORM your
BED
by TORI MORRISON
ummer emerges each year with a bright and sunny entrance. Here in San Diego we wait in anticipation for that final school bell, or for the skies to open up for a relaxing day at the beach. Once beach weather settles in it’s pretty difficult to stay motivated, however why not mix it up this summer with a do-it-yourself-project in your garden? There’s plenty of crafty ideas out there for raised vegetable boxes, and with their versatility it’s easy to turn a garden bed into a piece of artwork. You can even put your summer seashell collecting to good use and style the beds with beach-sytle decor. Here are some ideas to get you started.
CORRUGATED METAL BED
STONE-LINED BED
For a cool, industrial look, cut eight panels of corrugated metal to size and lay them out so that they cross over each other by two inches. Begin at one end of the panels and start attaching them panel to panel by drilling three evenly spaced holes down each seam so that it goes through both panels. Using a rivet gun, place a rivet in each of the holes. Next, rivet the final seam. Place support rods on the outside of the beds and pound them into the ground until they are at an even level with the top of the bed. To make a bottom, cut pieces of hardware cloth to fit inside the bed. Next, place them in the bed so they overlap and curve up the sides.
Create a raised bed in a frame that sits on the surface of the soil. Use stones, rocks, bricks, or shells as accent pieces. In this case ensure that the soil is properly mounded as it forms part of the landscape of the bed. When you dig, clear the soil and then use a sharp, square-bladed spade to break up it up. Next, change to a round-pointed shovel for evening out the surface.
56 • 92128Magazine.com • July | August 2014
WATER TROUGH For those who aren’t so handy with tools, there’s always the option of purchasing a galvanized water trough and drilling holes at the bottom for drainage. Place rocks in between the holes and the soil to create some room and an additional layer to catch water.

he RB Alive! Expo, produced by the North San Diego Business Chamber, was a full day of entertainment and enjoyment with 275 exhibitors. “Visitors browsed through the arts and crafts booths, received information from regional and local businesses, service clubs and religious organizations, and, of course, indulged themselves with tasty treats and meals from food vendors,” shared Cathleen Wood, Marketing and Events Manager of the North San Diego Business Chamber. An estimated 35,000 to 50,000 expected visitors also enjoyed the Kids Zone rides and games, the reenactments at the Cultural Center, and a classic car show. Cathleen added, “This gives businesses the opportunity to showcase their company or organization to community members and leaders.

ancho Bernardo played host to a truly unique style of fun run this past April – the So Cal Mud Run. As the name implies, instead of rounding a traditional track, runners made their way through a muddy obstacle course complete with small hills and mud crawls to get to the finish line. Runners donned tutus, inflatable ducks, and a pair even dressed up in Ninja Turtles garb for a more whimsical romp through the mud. The So Cal Mud Run also raised money for various community charities, such as the Poway Unified School District high schools, Rancho Bernardo Pop Warner and Cheer, and the Travis Manion Foundation. ¢

M
onica Eckmann never knew a hometown. Growing up in a military family, she attended fifteen different schools by the time she graduated. In sharp contrast her daughter, Michelle, has only ever known one hometown and one school system – Poway Unified School District. When Monica and her husband, Rick, moved to the Carmel Mountain area in 1987, they watched the construction of Highland Ranch Elementary School just down the street. It was the neighborhood school that both their children, Michelle and Daniel, would attend. In 1997, Monica was hired at the school; Michelle was just finishing the first grade. Michelle always knew she wanted to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a teacher, and today walks the same halls she knew in her childhood. Monica acknowledged Michelle’s commitment to the profession and to the school district. “She has a great appreciation for the education she received here in Poway Unified and said that one day she wanted to come back and teach here.” Michelle first began working as a substitute after graduating from Cal State San Marcos in December 2012. Soon after, she was offered a full time position. “My students think that it’s really cool that I went to this school and they also think it’s awesome that a Mrs. Eckmann and a Ms. Eckmann both work at Highland Ranch,” Michelle shared. Monica currently teaches kindergarten and serves as the English Language Learners (ELL) coordinator, providing support for the students learning English. Michelle is the Impact teacher, working in small groups with English language learners. “It is fun to have my mom as a colleague as well because I am able to suggest things that I have learned in my methods courses in school, and she is able to suggest strategies that she has learned in her many years of teaching experience,” explained Michelle. Teaching is in the Eckmann family tradition. “One of my proudest moments was when I told my dad that Michelle was a credentialed teacher. He was a high school teacher, and his response was ‘Wow! Now we have three generations of teachers in the family!’” Monica shared. Michelle is just as excited for the opportunity. “I always dreamed of working in Poway Unified because it is such an amazing district with amazing teachers, but it is still crazy to me that I am actually teaching at the exact same school I attended.” ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Are Open Houses Effective?
Yes.
Open houses can be effective. Even as prospective buyers continue to turn to the internet to search for their dream home, most agents will argue that open houses are still the best way for house hunters to see and feel if a home is the right fit. Nothing beats actually walking through a house and seeing it firsthand. As an agent you have to get the word out about the open house beforehand. Mailings, flyers and Web-based advertising are great tools to inform the public about an upcoming open house. These days many serious buyers prefer the virtual open houses of www.realtor.com, www.trulia.com and/or www.zillow.com. The first and only lesson for home sellers is that the home has to be staged right. It must look appealing inside and out. Buyers want to see a home they can see themselves moving into right away. They do not want to view a fixer at an open house. Take into
consideration what the new home builders do and the efforts they go through to make the house a home! During an open house your home is on display for likely buyers. Make your home shine during the open house. In a hot seller’s market (like the one we’re in) there is no need, as the home will sell itself if priced and marketed correctly. In a buyer’s market a listing agent needs to use every tool possible to get the buyer to submit an offer on their listing and not the one next door. Call us today at 858-243-5278 to see how our effective marketing strategies will get your home sold immediately, or visit www.danconwaysold.com. ¢
