:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER

Publisher Derrick Breaux

Let’s Party!

Creative Director Tyler McElhaney Editor Sarabeth McElhaney editor@zcodemedia.com

e created San Diego’s first “zip code-based” magazine six years ago. We now have 14 magazines spanning across most of North San Diego County. The combined direct-mailed circulation between all magazines is approximately 220,000 homes. It all started with a mission to create a hyper-local community magazine that people actually wanted to read. I like to say that whether you are four years old or 104 years old, there’s a little something inside the pages for everyone. While ZCode has some of the most passionate employees working hard to keep delivering interesting local content to your homes, the talented ZCode team is just one part of the equation that makes it all work. Although each and every magazine is mailed directly to your home for free, make no mistake, there is a significant cost to do so. I have the privilege to attend many local events. When I am out and about, people often come up to me to compliment the magazines and thank me for publishing them. While I certainly appreciate the positive feedback, I too am just one tiny part of the equation. The recognition and thanks should definitely be directed elsewhere. The people that are truly responsible (and should be thanked personally) are the advertising partners. The businesses that you see and read about throughout the pages of ZCode Magazines are the ones that make it all possible. It’s very simple. Without their participation, ZCode Magazines would not exist. They are the ones that bear the financial commitment of allowing ZCode to produce this special treat about the communities that we all live in that is delivered to your mailbox issue after issue, year after year. Last month, we held an advertiser appreciation event at our office in Rancho Bernardo. We hope that this was the first of an ongoing Derrick Breaux annual event – let’s be honest and call it a PARTY – where ZCode is able Publisher to publicly recognize some of the advertising partners that have gone the extra mile, whether they realize it or not, to assist in getting these magazines into your homes. While I personally wanted to recognize each and every business that participates in ZCode Magazines, since they all play an important role, we focused primarily on businesses that have been supporters for five or more continuous years, as well as a few category-specific businesses that we felt deserved special recognition. Be sure to be on the lookout for photos and a list of the recipients in the next issue and online (they were not yet available at time of print for this issue). I hope you enjoy this issue of 92128 Magazine. As you flip through the pages, pay close attention to the local businesses that have committed to being a part of your community and playing a role in helping to create and deliver this publication. I encourage you to take a moment to give them a nod or thumbs up the next time you see them, visit their place of business, or use their services. Acknowledgement goes a long way. I promise that they will appreciate the feedback and recognition. I want to personally thank the ZCode advertising partners, and dedicate this issue specifically to the businesses that make this all possible. Each and every one of them plays a part!

COURT Student Star and Basketball Player Knox Winkler Is Honing His Skills at Home by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Spark Photography

tudent star Knox Winkler is figuring out a way to have it all for his future. A sophomore at Rancho Bernardo High School and star basketball player, Knox dreams of one day earning a college scholarship and going on to play professional basketball overseas to see the world while getting paid. In the meantime, Knox is honing his skills on the local courts of 92128. He began playing basketball at the Carmel Mountain Ranch/Sabre Springs Recreation Center in the fifth grade when he joined the High Intensity Club Team. He has loved playing ever since. “The most rewarding part of playing sports is when you make a good play and hear the crowd go wild!” Knox acknowledged. “The most challenging part is trying to eat and sleep and train like a healthy athlete.” Now playing basketball for Rancho Bernardo High School, Knox is getting noticed. “Last year I won MVP of the summer freshman tournament,” he shared, “and this summer I was chosen as one of the top 20 basketball players in San Diego for the class of 2018 by Full Time Hoops and played in the Crème of the County Tournament.”

For Knox, combining sports with a greater purpose and community is important. “Christian pro athletes like Steph Curry inspire me. They use their talent and success for something greater than just playing basketball,” he explained. Knox also coaches and referees young players for the Next Level basketball league at the Carmel Mountain Ranch/Sabre Springs Recreation Center. He has even been known to spend some time helping out at holiday celebrations too, dressing as the Easter Bunny for

THEY USE THEIR TALENT AND SUCCESS FOR SOMETHING GREATER THAN JUST PLAYING BASKETBALL.” the rec center’s Easter Egg Hunt. “Holidays are a big deal in my family so it’s fun to help out and make the holidays special for our community, too,” Knox said. Carmel Mountain Ranch is the perfect home base for Knox’s commitment to playing basketball and being a part of his community. “I love living here because it is close to the CMR Rec Center, the plaza, and my school,” he explained. As he works towards his future goals of college, professional sports, and international travel, Knox has access to everything he needs in 92128. 

Carmel About the Recipe: This recipe is my specialty. I come from a big family of good cooks, but I got this recipe from my father who was a cook in the Philippines. It’s a Filipino recipe that varies to taste, but the secret is being able to balance the sweet, sour and, salty. And garlic... more is better. It’s full of flavor! You can also use chicken instead of pork ribs. About the Chef: I grew up in the Philippines, got married, and lived in Manitoba, Canada for a while before settling in sunny San Diego to raise the family. We’ve lived in San Diego for over 30 years and in 92128 for 25 years. I’m happily enjoying retired life with my husband, traveling to spend time with friends and family in Canada, U.S., and Philippines. My family and friends are my happiness, but so is cooking and eating! ¢

Little sister Juliette is in kindergarten, also at Creekside. Both kids

play in Carmel Mountain Ranch Little League and Poway Youth Soccer League. “Beyond that,” added Andrea, “We encourage our kids to try different activities as opposed to choosing a year-round sport. They’ve enjoyed basketball through Master Sports Program, taekwondo, and gymnastics at Gyminny Kids.” The Caldwells are a family on the move. Chris plays indoor soccer and Andrea is on a co-ed softball team. They enjoy half-marathons, but Chris took it to another level in the San Diego Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. “He jokes about how it was more of a controlled set of spasms while leaning in the right direction,” said Andrea. Her father has multiple sclerosis, therefore Andrea is passionate about leading a fundraising team in the annual MS Walk. Chris organizes a yearly neighborhood garage sale with 40 households – springcleaning 2.0. He also volunteers in the kids’ classrooms and helps coach their sports teams. When they press the pause button, Del Mar beach is their go-to. “It’s hard to beat relaxing on the beach with a world-class view as the kids enjoy surfing, boogie boarding, and playing beach games,” reflected Andrea. The Caldwells are thankful – call it blissful – to be at home in 92128. 

“Our neighborhood is old school at its best – potluck dinners, bag toss tournaments, and kids riding their bikes and running around playing games.”

Former Charger Billy Volek Coaches for the Del Norte Nighthawks Youth Football Program by LAINEY KRAL | photos by Spark Photography

illy Volek is dedicated to giving back to the community and the sport he loves, even after retiring from the San Diego Chargers. He coaches with the Del Norte Nighthawks Youth Football program, which he first became involved with when his two sons – Benett (12) and Carter (14) – began playing. The league president asked him to help out when he retired from the NFL. Having played at Fresno State University before spending six years with the Tennessee Titans and another six years with the San Diego Chargers, Billy is proud

of the friendships he was able to establish, saying, “Seventeen years of football and I still love this game!” He appreciates the opportunity to teach young players some of what he’s learned through his years in the sport, starting with the basic fundamentals and preparing young players for high school – while still enjoying success in the present. “The rewarding part is watching these kids get a first down or scoring a touchdown, the excitement they have is awesome!” he said. “To see them get to know each other, laugh at water breaks, and hang out after practice is pretty cool too.”

Billy shared that the Nighthawks are always open to moms, dads, and other community members who want to lend a hand. “Del Norte Youth has some great coaches who are extremely selfless. The energy they have, the passion, and mostly the dedication,” said Billy. “One coach drives 30 to 40 minutes and he doesn’t even have a son in the program – pretty awesome!” Billy’s Green Valley neighborhood reminds him of his Nashville roots, with the country feel and

People might be surprised to learn how laidback he is. “I love hanging out and sharing a good story or two,” he shared. “Relationships and family are very important to me.” Along with his sons, he also has a 15-year-old daughter, Morgan. He added, “I love traveling with them and just hanging out, they are at such a fun age. We have two dogs and two cats too so it gets kind of crazy, but I love it!” 

Lisa Woods Gives Back to the Local High School Band and to an Orphanage in Africa by LYDIA COBB | photos by Spark Photography

he Woods family lives in Sabre Springs. Outside of two years in Hawaii, they’ve thrived here since 2001. “We have regular block parties that are a lot of fun for everyone,” shared Lisa Woods. Lisa is an instructional assistant at Meadowbrook Middle School. Her husband retired from the Marine Corps and works at Northrup Grumman. Their children attend Mt. Carmel High School and play in the band. CJ is a senior and plays trombone; Katie is a freshman and plays saxophone. With a foundation of volunteer experience, including her children’s elementary classrooms, and in the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society at MCAS Miramar, Lisa wanted to do more. She began volunteering for the Mt. Carmel High School Music Foundation as band historian and camp and jazz co-chair. The music foundation has supported music through fundraising since 1975, Lisa elaborated, “To cover the costs of running one of the best music programs in San Diego.” When she visited The Rose of Charity Orphanage on a recent trip to Zimbabwe, she fell in love with its children. Lisa shared, “They were all so happy and healthy, even though they have had a very rough start in life.” She came to know eight orphans cared for by a woman named Sima, who took in homeless children during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Victoria Falls. The orphanage also supports 70 additional children. Lisa raises funds and collects and sends clothing and toys. “Being a part by volunteering, either with the band in my community or with the orphans on the other side of the world, is what helps me feel like I’m doing my part to make the world a better place.” She’s also bettering her career. Lisa holds a master’s degree in biology from CSU Fullerton. Before kids, she worked in biotech on cancer treatments and eye care products. She’s now at Alliant International University obtaining her teaching credential in special education. It’s a busy and fulfilling life. The Woods enjoy eating out. Their three little dogs love walks and dog beach. Katie dances, acts, and crews in local onstage productions. CJ also plays trombone with Civic Youth Orchestra. Lisa encourages others to lend a hand. The band relies on community support, especially when concerts are presented this season. She has a site for her orphanage work at www.gofundme.com/roseofcharity. It’s about giving back for Lisa, who’s grateful for what she has. 

Get the Facts about the Flu

by MARK SHALAUTA, M.D.; Scripps Clinic, Rancho Bernardo

As the weather cools, football fans rejoice and families look forward to holidays – and no one wants the flu to slow them down. If knowledge is power then the following flu facts should help you prevent this annual affliction from foiling your fall and winter fun. Can you get the flu from the vaccine? No, the flu vaccine, which generally includes three to four flu strains and covers the likely types of influenza A and B, can’t give you the flu. The flu shot contains dead viruses or no viruses so you can’t catch the flu from getting one. You might have aches or a low fever or your arm might hurt, but these side effects are generally mild. While the nasal spray flu vaccine does contain live viruses, they are weakened and cannot cause the flu according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). How does the flu spread? The flu spreads through respiratory droplets. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough so any droplets with flu fluids are not spread through the air. It’s best if you can sneeze into a tissue or paper towel, but if you don’t have those handy sneeze into the crook of your elbow and wash your clothes before wearing them again. Don’t sneeze into your hands because the virus will be transferred to any surface you touch, such as a door knob. To avoid flying droplets from others put your arm over your face and turn away.

How far should I stand from someone with the flu? If they are coughing or sneezing, try to keep your distance from someone who is suffering from the flu. Infectious flu-containing particles can travel at least six feet. I think I had the flu. Should I still get vaccinated? Yes, even if you think you have had the flu already, get your flu shot. Unless you were tested for the flu virus, you may not have had the flu, and even if you were diagnosed with the flu, you had one strain of the virus. The vaccine protects against several strains of the virus, so getting vaccinated lowers your risk of getting sick from other strains. Where did the name originate? Influenza earned its name from an Italian folk word that attributed colds, coughs, and fever to the influence of the stars. How long can the virus last? The influenza virus generally can survive on surfaces such as doorknobs or books between two and eight hours, according to the CDC. When is flu season? In the United States flu season occurs in the fall and winter, with seasonal flu activity peaking in January or February. However, flu outbreaks can occur as early as October and as late as May. Where do I get immunized? Usually your primary care doctor’s office will offer flu shots and clinics, and many pharmacies also offer the vaccine for a fee. Check with your health plan about any cost to you and your family. Many health plans cover the flu shot as it is considered preventive care. ¢

Mark Shalauta, M.D., is a family medicine physician at Scripps Clinic in Rancho Bernardo. Dr. Shalauta enjoys caring for the whole family and treats patients of all ages and with a variety of medical needs.

Almost 70 teams participated, with player ages ranging from eight to 14. “Fresh sunflowers dotted the sports fields and many teams showed their enthusiasm by wearing specially made t-shirts honoring Chelsea and all that the tournament represents,” said Jo Ann Bruning, Program Coordinator for the Foundation. She continued, “Every year attendees look forward to watching the Miracle League game, where special needs players, each partnered with a buddy, enjoy taking prat in the tournament. It’s a great experience to see how these players participated with heart and enthusiasm.” The boys, girls, and volunteers participating – including a number of moms volunteering to coach innings – all shared the same enthusiasm.

26th Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon photo by Tyler McElhaney

92128’s Chinese-English Bilingual Toastmasters club recently held an improv open house, with a member of the National Comedy Theatre stopping by to lead lessons on quick-thinking communication and effective body language. Members and guests played a lively game of Zip, Zap, Zop and other improv games. In one exercise, National Comedy Theatre’s Gary Kramer interviewed Toastmasters members on topics ranging from black holes to Russian politics, prompting the Toastmasters to think on their feet and invent creative answers to topics they hadn’t prepared for. The Chinese-English Bilingual Toastmasters is a positive, uplifting environment where members learn to give formal and impromptu speeches in both Chinese and English, whether or not they’re native speakers of either language. The club is led by President Shannon Fu, Vice President Education Doug Slavens, Vice President Membership Mike Meier, Vice President Public Relations Amy Gittelson, Secretary Haining Huang, Treasurer Karen Takeuchi, and Sergeant at Arms David Allen.

BHCC Turf Reduction Program

Local Scouts at Camp Meriwether

The Veterans History Project

Twenty-six local boys from Boy Scout Troop 682 recently spent a week on the Oregon coast at Meriwether Scout Reservation. The camp was founded in 1926 and named for Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition. “At camp the boys learned to work together and to take care of themselves away from modern distractions,” explained Scoutmaster Craig Dickson. The scouts attended Merit Badge classes every morning, exploring everything from cooking and first aid to oceanography and lifesaving. Other fun activities included sandboarding, a scavenger hunt, a sand castle competition, service projects, camping on the beach, and a Scoutmaster belly-ﬂop contest – along with the traditional campfires with songs, skits, and stories. Troop 682 was established in 1994 and includes students from Rancho Bernardo High School, Poway High School, Mt. Carmel High School, Westview High School, Bernardo Heights Middle School, and a number of other nearby schools. Learn more about Troop 682 at www.troop682.com.

Local Bernardo Heights Country Club has been making an effort to save water and make a difference during the ongoing drought. A $3.97 million turf reduction and course beautification program was designed to remove over 60 acres of turf and replace it with drought-tolerant plants. Spearheaded by Superintendent Jim Alwine, the plan removed one third of the golf course’s turf with the goal of saving water without negatively impacting the play experience on the course. The course aesthetic is different, but thoughtfully designed, with dark mulch, decomposed granite, and a variety of desert plants. The new plants are irrigated with the more efficient drip irrigation thanks to an $800,000 irrigation upgrade. The former ryegrass turf was completely replaced with Bermuda grass. The project is anticipated to reduce BHCC’s water consumption by at least 25 percent, meeting the water use reduction requirements recently mandated by Governor Jerry Brown.

Established in 2000 by the U.S. Congress, the Veterans History Project is a nationwide movement to record and preserve the lives and stories of U.S. veterans as a legacy for their families and future generations. Local resident Stan Smith, a World War II veteran, was one of the first to be interviewed for the project out of Congressman Scott Peters’ office, and thought so highly of his experience that he volunteered to recruit and interview other local veterans to tell their stories. “I have personally heard many exciting and emotional stories from several notable veterans, including men who were bombed on ships at Pearl Harbor in 1941. I believe the entire country could benefit by these stories before they are lost forever,” shared Stan. All local veterans are eligible to participate in this project. For those interested in participating, contact Stan directly at 858-485-5398. To learn more visit www.loc.gov/vets.

Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway

Art, Rhythm, & Wine for a Cause photo by Spark Photography

Rancho Bernardo residents and artists Terry Anderson and Marlene Levitt were selected to showcase their art along with 29 other artists at the 1st Annual Rancho Santa Fe Art, Rhythm, & Wine event. Terry and Marlene collaborate under the name Temáre, painting abstract pieces while working simultaneously on the same canvas. Rancho Santa Fe Art, Rhythm, & Wine was hosted by FINE magazine and The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe HOA, bringing together the best of local jewelry designers, mixed media artists, painters, photographers, sculptors, and more. The art walk was free to the public all afternoon before guests enjoyed live music, gourmet food tastings, and wine and beer tastings. Proceeds helped support The Country Friends, a charity founded in 1954 to raise funds for local human care agencies. Organizations funded this year include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Helen Woodward Animal Center, San Diego Second Chance Program, and Voices for Children. Learn more at www.thecountryfriends.com.

The stretch of Interstate 15 between Scripps Poway Pkwy. and Camino Del Norte was recently dedicated as the Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway. Dr. Alicia Gwynn, Tony Gwynn, Jr., and Anisha Gwynn Jones joined Assemblymember Brian Maienschein, San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, and Caltrans District Director Lori Berman for the dedication ceremony, unveiling the memorial signs. The freeway was named thanks to Assembly Concurrent Resolution 63, authored by Maienschein. “Tony Gwynn and his family left a lasting impact on San Diego through his impressive feats on the baseball field, dedication to San Diego State University, and the Gwynn family’s commitment to bettering the lives of children in the region,” said Maienschein. “The Tony Gwynn Memorial Freeway is traveled by thousands of vehicles each day, and the new signs will serve as a visual reminder of the last impact Gwynn made on our community.” Find out more about Tony Gwynn’s legacy and the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation at www.gwynndustries.com.

Q&A with Band and Orchestra Directors Zachary Christy and Duane Otani

What is your professional background and what sparked your interest in working with high school students?

Zachary: This is my second year teaching high school. I was at Ramona High School last year. I was always the epitome of a “band geek.” Band was always my safe space growing up throughout school. I felt like giving that safe space back to other students was what I was meant to do.

“Each year is a new experience and a new story to be written.”

Duane: This is my 14th year of teaching. My interest in teaching high school students came at an early age when I started in middle school band. My middle school teacher was a huge inspiration in my life and I was instantly hooked on music and I knew that I wanted to teach when I grew up.

What has been the most rewarding part of your role? The most challenging?

Seeing students experience music and the joy on their faces when they are performing and experiencing the product of their hard work. The most challenging is being able to get to know each of the 300 students personally.

Can you tell us about the history of this discipline at RBHS? How has the discipline grown or evolved over the years?

The instrumental music program has a long history of success over the course of the school’s history. Over the years, the instrumental music program has performed in the Tournament of Roses Parade, Carnegie Hall, and presented concerts in Hawaii and Europe. The RB instrumental music program is known throughout the state of California for consistently producing high-level performing ensembles. The marching band has earned numerous sweepstakes awards and is among the top programs in the state. The orchestra and concert bands receive consistent superior ratings at every festival that they attend.

Are there any upcoming performances the community should look forward to?

The marching band will perform at marching

band competitions on Saturdays until Nov. 21 with their culminating performance at the SCSBOA Championships. The orchestra had their fall concert Oct. 26 in the RBHS PAC. The wind ensemble had a joint fall concert with the Bernardo Heights Middle School Band on Oct. 28 in the RBHS PAC. In December the band will have their winter concert on Dec. 14 and the orchestra will have their winter concert on Dec. 15.

How many performances do you put on a year? What type of productions do you generally put on?

The marching band performs a sevenminute competitive field show which is performed at marching band tournaments and home football games. The production involves over 200 band, color guard, and drumline members who perform in unity as the Royal Regiment. The orchestra and concert bands perform every other month throughout the school year. Performance dates are available on the instrumental music website calendar at www.rbmusic.org.

Is there any way the community can help support the performing arts at RBHS? Attending performances and supporting fundraisers throughout the school year.

Do you have any favorite memories or experiences from your time at RBHS?

There are many memories that have been created over the year. The greatest experience has been working to maintain the strong program history and keep the standard of the program at a high level. Each year is a new experience and a new story to be written.

Q&A

with Choral Director Lisa Friedrichs

What area of the performing arts department do you teach in? What is your role in the department?

I am the choir director. I teach five choirs at RBHS and I am also the performing arts department chair.

What is your professional background and what sparked your interest in working with high school students?

When I was in middle school and high school I always sang in choirs. When I went to college at SDSU I became a voice major and received my undergraduate degree in Music with an emphasis in Voice. After working professionally with San Diego Opera, Starlight Musical

“There is always a moment where a piece ‘clicks’ with the group.” Theater, Moonlight Theater, and singing at various churches throughout San Diego, I was offered a high school choral position at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista. I taught there for two years and have been at RBHS for the last 21 years. I also completed my Master’s Degree in Choral Conducting from California State University Los Angeles.

What has been the most rewarding part of your role? The most challenging?

The most rewarding part of my job is to see the students grow their love of choral music. There is always a moment where a piece “clicks” with the group. The students hear and feel the music becoming a part of themselves.

Can you tell us about any recent performances?

We recently performed a “Pops” concert last May. Both nights were a hit with everyone as all the songs were from movies. For example, we performed “Happy” from Despicable Me, “Wishin’ and Hopin’” from My Best Friend’s Wedding, “Glory” from Selma, and much, much more.

Are there any upcoming performances the community should look forward to?

Yes. The RBHS choirs perform their annual

holiday concerts on Wednesday, Dec. 16 and Thursday, Dec. 17 at the RBHS Performing Arts Center. The concerts will be at 7 p.m. and tickets will be $10 at the door.

contribute financially, please feel free to email me at lfriedrichs@powayusd.com.

How many performances do you put on a year? What type of productions do you generally put on?

I have been so fortunate to have wonderful choirs here at RBHS. We try to take a trip once a year for choral festivals that are competitions. We have sung at such places as the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Riverside Church in New York, EMP Museum in Seattle, WA, and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. These venues have helped to create lasting memories for all of my students.

I put on six performances a year at the high school. One in the fall, one in the spring, two at the holidays, and two in May – either Broadway or Pops concerts. This year will be A Salute to Broadway. The Broadway and Pops concerts are in costumes, with dancing and blocking. The Madrigals also sing many performances in the community. For example, we sing for the RB Rotary Club, Webb Park Memorial Day, and many more performances in the community outside of school.

Is there any way the community can help support the performing arts at RBHS?

Yes. We are always in need of financial help. Each piece of music costs approximately $2. Each class sings approximately eight numbers per semester. With over 150 students in the choral program at RBHS, the department spends approximately $2,500 per semester on music. If anyone would like to

Q&A with Dance Director Michelle Jacoby

What area of the performing arts department do you teach in? What is your role in the department?

I’m the dance department director. I oversee all the dance classes at RBHS. I teach the beginning (modern) dance class, intermediate dance team, JV dance team, b-boy dance team, hip hop dance team, and the advanced Tour De Force Dance Team.

What is your professional background and what sparked your interest in working with high school students?

I graduated from RBHS and was a member of the dance program during my four years of high school. My former teacher and the director before me, Karen Zinser, was getting close to retiring and

kids and seeing their growth over their years in high school and beyond. The kids really become like my own children and I look forward to going into work each day. The kids are doing what they love and I get to be a part of that experience with them, it’s amazing.

Can you tell us about the history of this discipline at RBHS? How has the discipline grown or evolved over the years? We are celebrating it’s 25th year of existence this year! TDF (the advanced/varsity team) started when the school opened and this is my eighth year running the program. Karen Zinser was the previous director and a huge mentor and role model to me. She started the whole program! She just retired from teaching this year. She left RBHS and went to teach physical education at Black Mountain Middle School for the last few years. During my time at RB, I have added four new teams and we are also really big into competing.

In addition to the advanced Tour De Force team, the Rancho Bernardo program also selects a

National champions in the medium dance division and a special award for the highest scoring jazz routine of the entire competition. It was an amazing accomplishment.

Can you tell us about any recent performances?

Currently we are working on our big homecoming half-time performance. We collaborate with the cheer teams here at RBHS and put on a huge five-minute production.

Are there any upcoming performances the community should look forward to?

We have our annual Winter Dance Concert coming up on Dec. 10 and 11 at 7 p.m. in the RBHS Performing Arts Center! We also do a fundraiser performance called “Dancing with the Teachers.” It is like Dancing With the Stars but the kids select teachers to perform with and it is hysterical! The date hasn’t been set yet, but be on the lookout!

How many performances do you put on a year? What type of productions do you generally put on?

We do two large shows a year – our Winter and Spring Dance Concerts. All 200 kids from the program participate in it and it is a really big deal to the students and parents. We work on the dances all semester and the kids put in so much effort and time to make it amazing. The show includes jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, tap, character, comedy, and production dance numbers. In addition to this we perform at all home football games, basketball games, pep rallies, the Poway Festival, and we compete during the winter season with our competition dance team.

“I feel so fortunate to be able to give back what Karen Zinser and RBHS gave to me.” reached out to me to take over the program. I was elated! My personal experience and time at RBHS was unforgettable and shaped me into the person I am today. I feel so fortunate to be able to give back what Karen Zinser and RBHS gave to me.

What has been the most rewarding part of your role? The most challenging? Most rewarding: the relationships with the

competition team to compete on behalf of the school. The team has received over 20 national titles under the direction of former coach and RBHS alumni Tiffani Francy-King. Tiffani ran the competitive team for 14 years and recently handed it over to our current coach, Nick Meola, who is going on his second year running the team. In his first season the girls won USA

with Theatre Arts Director Marie Morris

Is there any way the community can help support the performing arts at RBHS?

What are of the performing arts department do you teach in? What is your role in the department?

Absolutely! We are always accepting donations in the form of money or supplies and materials. We also greatly appreciate the support of our community members who come out to watch shows!

I am the teacher/director of the theatre arts department. I teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced performance classes as well as technical theatre classes which cover stage settings and costuming.

What is your professional background and what sparked your interest in working with high school students?

I have always wanted to be a teacher, and when I took drama is high school I was hooked! I knew I wanted to be a high school drama teacher from the time I was a senior. I went to San Diego State University, where I studied French and Theatre Arts, then earned my teaching credential in English. After teaching English at RBHS for four years I was able to move into the Theatre position, where I plan to stay for a very long while.

What has been the most rewarding part of your role? The most challenging?

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing students discover and do things they never thought they could do – they find courage and inspiration to come out of their shells both on- and off-stage. The most challenging part of my job is saying goodbye to the graduates to whom I have grown close. I know they are going on to another chapter in their lives, and I feel honored to have had a chance to help prepare them for that next chapter.

Can you tell us about the history of this discipline at RBHS? How has the discipline grown or evolved over the years?

The theatre arts program at RBHS, like any program, has ebbed and flowed over the years. This is my fifth year in this position, and with the hard work and sincere dedication of many students who started with me, the program has grown considerably since my first year.

Can you tell us about any recent performances?

Last month we performed this year’s fall play, a comedy entitled The Complete History of

Are there any upcoming performances the community should look forward to?

Of course! We will have our holiday variety show the first weekend in December, “A Very Bronco Holiday,” featuring students from the Advanced Theatrical Production class, the Comedy Troupe, and the Improv team as well as the design and construction work of the Technical Theatre class. It will be a great show for Broncos of all ages to come kick-off the holiday season! In addition to other improv shows, we will perform our musical, entitled Camp Rolling Hills, Feb. 25 through 27.

How many performances do you put on a year? What type of productions do you generally put on?

Yearly we put on three large productions (fall play, Bronco Holiday, and spring musical),

ATTENTION DR. STEVEN SCHNEIDER, DDS GIVES PATIENTS A REASON TO SMILE WITH TOP QUALITY COSMETIC AND GENERAL DENTISTRY

by JENNIFER FRAKES

r. Steve Schneider, DDS opened the doors to his dental practice 25 years ago with a desire to help others and eliminate the fears that many people feel about visiting the dentist. “I wanted to be a dentist since the second grade. I had a fear of going to the dentist and wanted to make sure people did not experience the same anxiety I did. This fear helped build a unique philosophy that has allowed us to treat people differently in our office. We have created a practice where patients are treated as family, with empathy, sensitivity, respect and a little humor thrown in,” explained Dr. Schneider. The atmosphere of the office and use of cutting-edge technology sets it apart from other dental practices. “As patients walk into our office, they are surrounded by a rock-nroll theme. We feel that patients don’t have to be reminded they are in a dental office by the décor,” said Dr. Schneider. And his dental practice has been a research center for

Saving Water

CAMPAIGN AIMS TO PRESERVE WEBB LAKE WHILE REDUCING WATER USAGE

ith California’s ongoing drought, communities across the state are having to find creative solutions to balancing the need to reduce water usage while still preserving favorite local landmarks. This summer the Bernardo Town Center Property Owners Association (BTCPOA) board announced that they were considering ways to reduce water usage with drought-tolerant landscaping in Webb Park, including the option to drain Webb Lake. Though the need to save water is dire, the lake is a popular destination for weddings, picnics, and community events. A number of community members led by Rancho Bernardo Business Association President Scott Lawn are working towards another solution. The Save Webb Lake campaign is currently fundraising to drill a well to fill the lake. The well would be drilled 800 to 1,200 feet into the ground and would automatically pump water via underground pipe into the lake to keep the water at a consistent level. Lawn shared that the final irrigation costs could be as low as 10 percent of current costs. The idea has gained a number of supporters throughout the community, including County Supervisor Dave Roberts and Rancho Bernardo Historical Society President Nancy Canfield. The BTCPOA board has given the campaign until Jan. 1 to raise the $75,000

needed to drill the well, and the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation recently agreed to serve as the fundraiser’s nonprofit sponsor and has established a fund to allow for taxdeductible donations. As of last month the project had garnered $5,000 in donations and an additional $15,000 in pledges, as Lawn announced at a recent meeting for the Save Webb Lake movement. Lawn has stated that if the board decides to remove the lake after all, funds will be returned to donators. The campaign is open to fundraising ideas from the entire community. Learn more, stay updated, and donate at www.gofundme.savewebblake. ¢

Momsmakingsixfigures by HEIDI BARTOLOTTA

hen I started Momsmakingsixfigures.com in 2008, we had two little girls under the age of five and I was struggling. My challenge was trying to find the right mix of time and finances amidst all the demands that come with motherhood. Should I work outside of the home or decide to stay home, and what would that mean for my family’s financial situation? Mothers today face so many pressures and questions, and the pressure to make the best decision weighs heavily on each of us. That’s where Momsmakingsixfigures can come in; we have a business model that has helped many women find their personal balance-point. Some women work 10 hours per week, some work 40, but each one gets to decide the amount of time that works for her and, more importantly, when during each day she puts in that time. This is not a “get rich quick” thing, simply real women working together to create real income from real effort. If you or anyone you know are looking for something more, something different, we might be what you are looking for.

I have the life I never dreamed possible when I was working for HSBC Bank. Flexibility with five children is a necessity.

As a surgeon, I never owned my schedule but I owned lots of overhead, which meant I worked many holidays instead of spending them with my family. Over the last two years I have spent every holiday with my family thanks to MMSF.

I love working, but I want my family to be the priority. This company has let me, not a corporation, dictate my schedule.

Coming from the corporate arena with lots of work-related travel definitely did not give me the ability to make my two daughters my priority. Now I volunteer in the classroom, chaperone field trips, and still have income – the best of both worlds.

Everyone Smiles

CARMEL MOUNTAIN LOCAL CO-AUTHORS BOOK PROMOTING ORAL HYGIENE

92128

resident Ashley Grisham and coauthor Gary Kersey, Jr. are proud to promote good oral hygiene for all ages with their book, Everyone Smiles. The book is a step-by-step guide to keeping teeth clean, and lets children learn how they can take responsibility for their own health and keep their teeth strong and healthy. It features beautiful photos of children from all backgrounds, set alongside catchy rhymes. Ashley is the daughter of a dentist and a dental hygienist, and Gary volunteers with a number of organizations providing dental services to impoverished families. They both believe that, around the world, a smile can cross any language or cultural barrier. They also want to help protect those smiles by fighting back against gaps in education and healthcare in underprivileged families. Ashley shared that the rate of tooth decay in low-income children is 31 percent, compared with only 14 percent in other income

classes. Thirty percent of children with private health insurance are uninsured for dental care, making good hygiene practices even more important. Ashley grew up as a military child in Carmel Mountain and graduated from Rancho Bernardo High School. She and her younger sister both attended Poway Unified School District schools. Ashley values the support she’s received from her family, friends, and neighbors. “The community of Carmel Mountain truly supported me as I had my first book signing at the Costco of Carmel Mountain and completely sold out of 115 copies in just two hours,” she shared. “Carmel Mountain is a neighborhood where families live, work, and play. Even more fittingly, the 92128 community is truly an area where everyone smiles!” ¢

Successful treatment of periodontal disease appears to slow progression of cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown an association between periodontal disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new observation study out of Sweden by Dr. Holmlund of Uppsala University breaks ground in showing for the ﬁrst time that among patients who seek treatment for periodontal disease, treatment responders have on average a 28 percent lower risk of fatal or non-fatal MI, stroke, or heart failure than non-responders. Commonly referred to as gum disease, periodontal disease is a chronic inﬂammatory disease caused when bacteria in plaque below the gum line leads to swelling, irritation, and possibly receding gums and tooth loss. Periodontal disease has been linked to many chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and even cancer. Despite its prevalence, periodontal disease is hardly ever discussed, resulting in a lack of urgency for people to properly care for their gums. The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) urges all Americans to “Love the gums you’re with” and take better care of

:::: HOME TIPS

Putting a Freeze on Holiday Fire Hazards

by SHYANNE LOPEZ

ith the holiday season quickly approaching, many are making preparations for the feasts, gatherings, and fun to be had. But don’t let the festivities let you forget that, according to the United States Fire Administration, the holiday season also means an increase of house �ires. Therefore, in the midst of gearing up for the colder season it’s important not to forget some crucial steps to keep your home safe. To help prevent �ire hazards we’ve compiled some guidelines that will help you keep your home and loved ones cozy, cheerful, and warm – but not too warm.

Keepin’ it Cool in the Kitchen

Because cooking is the leading cause of fires in the U.S., it’s important to take extra precautions this time of year, whether it’s the Thanksgiving feast or a traditional family meal. First and foremost, never leave your kitchen or home unattended while cooking. Check on your cooking frequently and be aware of what appliances are turned on. When children are in the kitchen, keep them away from hot food and liquids, as a splash from gravy or grease can cause serious burns. Consider keeping a fire extinguisher handy just in case and, if necessary, keep in mind that flour and baking soda can snuff out a grease fire while water can’t.

Careful with those Candles

No matter the holiday, it seems as if candles are universally loved during the winter months. They bring a sense of coziness to a room, but also pose some risks if not carefully attended to. Make sure to always blow out candles before leaving your home or before you fall asleep. In fact, it’s best to avoid using candles in the bedroom or somewhere you are likely to fall asleep. When placing your candles, choose a sturdy candle holder and place away from any curtains, blankets, paper, or plants. And of course, make sure your home’s fire detectors are working correctly.

50 • 92128Magazine.com • November | December 2015

Electricity and Wiring

As the months get colder, the houses get brighter. Before stringing up those twinkling lights, keep a couple things in mind. In older homes, electrical safety is important because most of them weren’t wired to withstand today’s electrical load limits. Avoid plugging too many items into an electrical socket, and don’t string together more than three strands of lights. Make sure you purchase holiday lights that have been tested for safety by an independent laboratory. Also, don’t hang indoor lights outside – or vice versa. Lastly, inspect your lights to make sure they are in good condition. This means checking for exposed wires or shattered bulbs, which should be replaced.

Don’t Forget that Tree!

In our warm Southern California climate, those who have a Christmas tree in their home should regularly check water levels. A dry tree is especially susceptible to catching fire. When first purchasing your tree, choose one with fresh green needles. Before placing the trunk into its stand, prevent your tree from drying out early by cutting two inches from the base of the trunk. Make sure to place your tree at least three feet from any source of heat such as a fireplace, lamp, or radiator, and avoid keeping your tree lights lit when you’re asleep, as most fires occur overnight. Once holiday festivities have come to a close, dispose of your tree sooner rather than later to avoid letting it dry out.

Space Heater Set-Up

While it might be hard for visitors to believe, San Diego actually can get a little chilly during winter. During these times, many choose to use space heaters rather than a furnace because it is less expensive – especially in larger homes. If you use a space heater, make sure it has been professionally tested for safety. Set up the heater so that there is nothing surounding it such as curtains or furniture that can catch fire. Always turn off the space heater before falling asleep, simply allow it to warm up your room. Because heaters require a lot of electricity, make sure it is plugged into its own outlet and not an extension chord.

THE JEWEL

OF THE CITY

San Diego's Beloved Balboa Park Has Something for Everyone This Winter by LAINEY KRAL

ou don’t have to travel far or spend a lot to make the most of upcoming winter vacations. The time off for the kids makes this the perfect time to explore one of San Diego’s most beloved destinations. Balboa Park offers a number of free year-round activities for the whole family, as well as some special events for the holiday season.

Balboa Park December Nights This annual tradition dates back to the first Christmas on the Prado festival in 1978, which hosted just under 3,000 visitors. Now called Balboa Park December Nights, the 38th annual event is expected to draw a joyous crowd of over 350,000. Museums will be open free in the evenings, the Botanical Building will be filled with poinsettias, and the United Nations Building will offer decorations and cards from all over the world. Performances at various venues will include a Rockette-style show from Civic Dance Arts, A Christmas Carol at the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater, and excerpts from The Nutcracker from San Diego Civic Youth Ballet. The

festival will take place Friday, Dec. 4 from 3 to 11 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5 from 12 to 11 p.m. Learn more at www.balboapark.org/decembernights.

Guided Tours If you’re unfamiliar with Balboa Park, or just want an expert’s guidance to get

to know the park better, one of the free guided tours might be just what you need. Local organizations of experts and park rangers offer regular tours focused on architectural history, birdwatching, park flora and fauna, general park history, and more. Find out more about specific tours at www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/ parks/regional/balboa/tours.shtml.

Residents Free Tuesdays Every Tuesday of the month, a different set of Balboa Park’s acclaimed museums is open to San Diego City and County residents for free, as well as active military and dependents. Be sure to bring your ID. Learn more and check which museums are free on which Tuesdays at www.balboapark.org/visit/tuesdays.

Sunday Organ Concerts Head to the Spreckels Organ Pavilion every Sunday at 2 p.m. for a magical hour-long concert. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the pavilion’s building, and the Spreckels Organ remains one of the largest outdoor pipe organs in the world. Check the calendar for each week’s program as well as additional special event concerts at www.spreckelsorgan.org. ¢

San Diego Fire Rescue provided CPR and AED demonstrations. McGruff the Crime Dog also made an appearance. Beyond the SDPD National Night Out festival, citizens across the country were encouraged to lock their doors, turn on their porch lights, and spend the evening with neighbors and first responders.

Celebrating Diversity, One Like at a Time

f you’re lucky enough as a student of RB High to run into senior Salwa Khan, there’s a good chance she’ll ask if you have any stories that you would like to share. If the answer is yes, Salwa will snap a photo of you before a quick interview. This interview will provide the story or quote to accompany the photo on the Instagram account Humans of Rancho Bernardo High School. Regardless of what you share – be it funny or deeply personal – that snippet of your life will soon be out for thousands to view. Salwa started the account when school started in August; the first post on Aug. 21

featured two friends in a candid hallway scene. In the six weeks since, Salwa has accrued over 1,000 followers and posted over 143 pictures that cover a broad swath of the diversity that populates RB High. The account, modeled after Humans of New York, emulates the formula of its inspiration by capturing snippets of students’ daily lives and interposing them with a caption that reveals a deeper, less-mundane story or a lighthearted joke. Just as Humans of New York features famous New Yorkers alongside the less fortunate, Salwa’s creation is wonderfully diverse, putting the stories of experienced

54 • 92128Magazine.com • November | December 2015

teachers alongside the observations of inexperienced freshman – and everyone else in between. Salwa discovers many of her stories as she interacts with fellow students, but just as often fields requests. With less than a sixth of the school year out of the way, Salwa and Humans of RBHS (@humansofrbhs on Instagram and Facebook) undoubtedly have many more stories to uncover. ¢

Geoffrey Lu is a senior at Rancho Bernardo High School. He is participating in an internship program with 92128 Magazine.

2015 Bronco Winter Sports Preview

s Bronco Athletics enters into the upcoming winter sport season we look forward to another challenging year in the alwayscompetitive North County Conference. With an outstanding staff of coaches together with several new and returning athletes, our expectations are high for continued success in all programs as we look to defend our three CIF Championships from last year’s winter season. Whether on the court, the ﬁeld, the mat, or in the pool, our athletes will always work hard, play with enthusiasm, respect our opponents, and represent their school and community with pride.

Bronco Athletics has a long and storied tradition of “excellence together” which relies upon the support of our staff, parents, and the community as a whole. Embracing the mantra of “Pursuing Victory with Honor,” we believe that while athletics is but a part of the entire educational experience of our students, there are life lessons taught on the ﬁeld of play that cannot be duplicated in the classroom. We invite you to support our student-athletes and coaches by your attendance at our athletic events. For additional information regarding dates and times of these contests, please visit our website at www.rbhs.org. High school athletics has something to offer

everyone whether you are playing, coaching, cheering on your favorite team, or supporting your local school. Bronco Athletics would like to encourage you to “Go Blue” during the winter sport season – it promises to be a great ride! ¢ ~ Peggy Brose, Athletic Director

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Real Estate Forecast for 2016 R

eal estate soared in 2015 and the prediction for 2016 is bright. The general consensus among housing experts is that home prices in the U.S. will continue rising in 2016, but at a slower pace than 2015. The California Association of Realtors (CAR) issued a forecast and outlook for the California real estate market in 2016. The Realtor group expects home prices to continue rising through the end of this year and into next. With that being said, house values could rise at a more moderate pace next year compared to the gains we’ve seen over the last couple of years. The California Association of Realtors (CAR) expects house values in California to

continue rising next year. Home prices will likely grow steadily this year and next, but next year’s gains could be smaller than what we’ve seen in recent years. This doesn’t mean the California housing market is becoming “sluggish.” Far from it. Housing demands are still high in most areas across the state. It merely suggests a return to normalcy. The double-digit price increases of 2013 and 2014 were the exception resulting from the housing collapse of a few years earlier. Home prices had a long way to climb in those days, and they rose quickly. Most California real estate market predictions for 2016 call for continued but more

modest home-price gains. Low mortgage rates should continue to lure buyers into the market between now and the end of this year. But a gradual rise in interest rates and home prices could price some buyers out of the market. So, while there is room for continued growth in most markets across California, we probably shouldn’t expect the kinds of gains seen over the last couple of years.
