:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER Thumbs Up... High Fives... and Life Memories I was nervous. I felt like the entire world was watching. As I made my way to home plate, I knew that I would have a mere three pitches – only three shots to make an impression and show the world (or at least the five Little League coaches and onlooking parents) that I was worthy of a place on a team – any team. Although this was 30 years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. As a kid, being involved in sports was both exciting and nerve-wracking. Sure, I had fun. I threw the ball. I ran as fast as I could. I made friends and I certainly received my fair share of trophies – some based on performance and others for participation. We also had snacks, but nothing like the impressive goody bags of today. I played a variety of sports from the young age of 7 through the end of high school. Although I didn’t play at the college level, at times during high school, I had to convince myself that school didn’t exist for the sole purpose of allowing me to play football. Although there are many elements that go into becoming a well-rounded individual, I believe that sports – in particular, team sports – can play a major role. With sports, a kid experiences life lessons in a controlled environment. They have the opportunity to win, lose, strikeout, make the winning catch, drop the winning pass, cry, fall down and get back up, celebrate, create memories, and make friends.

92128 Magazine
To me, sports is much bigger than the game. It is much bigger than winning or losing. It’s bigger than trying to figure out how to fit the practices and games into our busy schedules. Sports are about passion and building character. Setting individual and team goals and working hard to meet those goals. To us parents, signing our kids up in the local soccer league, baseball league or any number of other sport leagues is pretty straight forward – we just have to make sure it fits into our family’s budget and schedule. But to the kids, it is so much more – even if they don’t yet realize it. To them, it is giving high fives and thumbs up. It is being part of a team. It is seeing your family in the stands or on the sidelines cheering you on. It’s team parties and eating ice cream cones on a hot summer day with your fellow teammates. It is understanding the importance of good sportsmanship and being part of something bigger than the individual. It is creating memories that they will carry with them for a lifetime. In the neighborhoods that we live in, it is hard to go anywhere on the weekend without seeing kids in their uniforms. So the next time you are out and about, do a local athlete in uniform a favor and ask them about their game. Regardless of their response – negative or positive – be ready to give them a high five or a thumbs up and tell them to keep up the good work and have fun! It will mean more to them than you will ever know.
All the best, Derrick Breaux, PUBLISHER

hen Oliver Delgado began his freshman year at Rancho Bernardo High School, he had no idea that he Name: Oliver Cruz Delgado would become a pole Age: 18 vaulter. “When I was a freshman, I thought I School: Rancho Bernardo High School would be playing baseball in the spring. Coach Grade: 12 Martin was my PE teacher and he encouraged me Parents’: Robyn and Frank Delgado to get into pole vaulting. He showed me some Siblings: Ariel Delgado (23), Abby Delgado (16) crazy vaulting videos and it looked like the most thrilling and most fun thing I had ever seen,” says Oliver. From that day on Oliver was hooked. This year will be his fourth year on the Varsity pole vaulting team and he still finds the sport thrilling. According to Oliver, he also enjoys the camaraderie of the team and learning from 18

Coach Martin. “Coach Martin really knows pole vaulting. His program is ranked number one in the nation,” says Oliver. When he isn’t practicing with Coach Martin and his teammates, Oliver can either be found on the basketball court or at a ping pong table. He plays in the Rancho Bernardo Youth Basketball League and co-founded the Rancho Bernardo High School Ping Pong Club. “At first, ping pong was just a hobby I had with friends; however, now it has grown into an organized club where we play weekly and are competitive,” says Oliver. Not one to sit still, Oliver received the University of Arizona Medical Center’s 109 Mile El Tour Event Silver Medal Award for completing the El Tour De Tucson Bike Ride, an event in which riders raise funds for various non-profit organizations. Community service is extremely important to Oliver, who is an Eagle Scout and an active youth leader in his church. “After six years of dedicated work in the Boy Scouts of America, I was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout,” says Oliver. “I also helped to plan and organize a two-day camp for over 300 people in my church.” Oliver hopes to major in business in college and become an entrepreneur. Currently, his favorite subjects are economics and physics. “I really enjoy learning about physics and my teacher, Mrs. Eibeck, has really sparked my interest in the subject,” says Oliver. ¢

Fifth Graders Ride from River to Riptide by WYNNE LOVE
W
hile most 5th graders look forward to relaxing on spring break, there are some who choose to spend their week an altogether different way. The Ride Across California, or RAC, is a week-long, 370-mile bike ride for ambitious 5th graders. Dubbed River to Riptide, the trek starts with riders dipping their back tires in the Colorado River in Yuma, Arizona, and ends when they reach the Pacific in Carlsbad. A bike tour and a camping trip rolled into one, the ride generally attracts around seventy 5th graders, with another thirty to forty parents and siblings acting as support drivers along the way. “The mission of the Ride Across California,” explained longtime coach and volunteer coordinator Gary Rossi, “is to show 5th graders that when they establish a goal, develop a plan, and then carry out a plan they can accomplish anything.” Former 5th grade teacher Dennis Bueker and his principal Mike Fickel at Deer Canyon Elementary started the ride in 1991. “They thought this would be a great project as a coming of age for 5th graders as they prepare to go to middle school,” said Rossi. The RAC was inspired
20
92128 Magazine
by the book, Hey Mom, Can I ride my bike across America?, by John Seigel Boettner, which Bueker still reads to participants around the evening campfires. Now heading into its 22nd year, the tour has become a tradition for families over the Poway Unified School District spring break. Some participants start training as early as September for the spring tour. Riders must join the Rancho Family YMCA Bike Club and make use of their extensive training program in order to log 300 miles of biking, including two challenging Escondido rides, before the RAC. “Sometimes there is nothing but sand, road, wind, and cactus,” said Rossi. Tackling 30–50 miles a day, rides can get long and tedious, but no one quits, and no one’s left behind. Families camp each night, gathering around the campfire and enjoying meals provided by the support teams and other volunteers along the route. “When they get to the beach and see the Pacific Ocean,” said Rossi, “they are all smiles since they now know they can accomplish any goal that they put their mind to.” Sound exciting? Registration for the April 1–7 ride closes March 12th. For more information, call the Rancho Family YMCA at 858-484-8788. ¢

The Volunteer Ripple Effect by KATHY LOY photo by Spark Photography SOUSA

Lisa Kadel shows how volunteerism casts a wide net
P
eople who study the motivation behind volunteerism have a saying: “a satisfied volunteer is the best recruiter”. If so, Lisa Kadel should have people lined up to help in schools and organizations across town! Kadel moved to Carmel Mountain Ranch 16 years ago. “I enjoy living here because it’s a beautiful planned community for all the stages of life.” Around the same time, she started to attend a church that would later be known as The Church at Rancho Bernardo (CRB). Kadel and her family, husband Rich and daughters Brooke and Paige, have been involved with many CRB “Be the Answer” community projects including packing homeless care kits, refurbishing local school playgrounds, remodeling homes for struggling families, feeding homeless teens, cleaning squad cars for local police, baking for military squadrons overseas, and writing cards for the elderly in assisted living. “I find the idea of reaching out beyond the church walls and living out my faith has been so rewarding.” When her children entered school, Kadel began volunteering there too. These days, Kadel volunteers at both Shoal Creek Elementary and The Academy at Black Mountain Middle School. “I find that any time I can give to the schools frees up the teachers to challenge the students. Ultimately, it benefits the community
…Any time I can give to the schools frees up the teachers to challenge the students. Ultimately, it benefits the community as a whole because these are the young people who will drive our streets and work in our neighborhoods.’ ~ LISE KADEL as a whole because these are the young people who will drive our streets and work in our neighborhoods.” Several of the Kadel’s community outreach programs involve preparing and serving food to the less fortunate. Along with other CRB members, she makes sandwiches and then serves them at the Salvation Army. At a monthly food pantry, Kadel and members from three neighboring churches, distribute food at Resurrection Community Church in Poway. If you’d like to see what other community outreach programs are available at CRB, please visit www.thechurchatrb.org/get-involved/missions. ¢

While Tyler is native to Southern California, Sarabeth was born and raised in Western New York. The couple met in Virginia Beach, of all places, through mutual friends. Tyler is the Art Director for Susco Media (publisher of 92128 Magazine) and Sarabeth is a contributing writer. They recently moved to the Westwood community. With the Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip being one of Tyler’s all time favorite dishes for Chargers games, they thought they would share this small piece of Buffalo with the readers of 92128.

The couple have two kids, Michael (17), a senior, and Amanda (14), a freshman, both at RB High School. “Kelly and I really stress volunteering and giving back to the community and we couldn’t be more proud of our kids,” said Ed Muna. Michael is currently serving as the Senior class Vice President, he organized the school’s blood drive and volunteers for Relay for Life as well as Valley Elementary School. He also has an entrepreneurial spirit and recently started designing and selling tee shirts along with a friend.

The Muna family definitely practices what they preach as both Ed and Kelly volunteer and give back in many ways. Through the years, Ed has coached baseball, basketball and soccer and served on the little league board for several seasons. These days, Ed focuses his efforts on his community. “I serve on the Rancho Bernardo Community Council and chair the Rancho Bernardo Maintenance District,” said Ed. “I also serve on the RBHS Foundation, which helps raise money for various programs for the students.” Kelly is also involved with the Poway chapter of the National Charity League with Amanda. “Through this wonderful philanthropic organization, we have the opportunity to provide community service to many charities while volunteering side by side. The couple actually met in sixth grade, when Ed had a secret crush on Kelly. They eventually started dating in high school and have been together ever since. As a family, they enjoy spending time together and planning their annual trips to Mammoth in the winter and different destinations in the summer. Another family tradition is the annual Coronado 4th of July run, which they all participate in. Ed is a regular at half-marathons and Kelly completed her first half-marathon last year. ¢ Know a family that should be profiled in 92128 Magazine? Recommend a family online at www.92128magazine.com.

hey patrol bank and shopping center parking lots. They check houses whose owners are on vacation. They monitor school drop-offs and pick-ups. And they visit seniors who live alone. These are just a few of the services that Rancho Bernardo’s Retired Service Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) performs each day. “We are the extra eyes and ears for the SDPD,” said Richard Van Overmeiren, administrator and 19-year veteran of the patrol. After 33 years with the Chicago Fire Department, Van Overmeiren joined the patrol in 1993, just one year after its inception. Now at age 79, he has logged more than 15,000 volunteer hours. The patrol now boasts over 50 members, all of whom are 50 years of age or older, have passed a police background check, completed

the week-long RSVP academy, and are committed to attending the monthly training meeting and volunteering a minimum of three days per month. The RSVP has been so successful that it’s become the model for similar programs across the county, and SDPD now has patrols in
all seven divisions. “Over half of RVSP members are in their eighties,” said Van Overmeiren, and the RSVP keeps them busy. In addition to the regular
March | April 2012
patrols conducted six days of the week, RSVP members run the You Are Not Alone (YANA) program – providing daily visits to fellow seniors who live alone – and provide free youth fingerprinting at safety fairs and stranger-danger talks for elementary students. RSVP volunteers also help local police by working in the SDPD community relations office over the Rancho Bernardo library. “Duty managers work daily in the storefront Monday through Friday, assisting walk-ins, phone calls, and non-moving auto citation sign-offs,” said Van Overmeiren. “We also handle the daily managing of the three RSVP patrol cars.” It takes about $8,000 a year to cover those costs, and RSVP stays solvent through grants, donations, and support from the Rancho Bernardo Foundation.

Winter Guards perform to music while incorporating dance elements with the use of flags, rifles, sabres and other props. Many groups select a theme for their performance which can range from very serious to very whimsical and imaginative. The event will bring thousands of people from all over Southern California to the beautiful Del Norte campus while serving as a big fundraiser for the Del Norte Music Program. “A successful tournament could really take care of the many

Simply Amazing!
Locals Rally Behind All Natural Weight Loss System
S
ince opening in early 2010, the success of Amazing New Me’s FDA Registered All-Natural weight loss programs have been sweeping across North County. With hundreds of successful clients locally and thousands nationally, the buzz is catching on. Within 8 months of opening in Rancho Bernardo, they grew from a single office suite to a multiple office suite. They will be expanding again to a larger nearby location in April. “We will continue to grow as our clients continue to succeed and tell their family and friends about us. We have plans this year to open locations in Temecula and Chula Vista,” says Rick Micheri, who himself started out as a client back in Las Vegas. After allowing his weight to climb to over 310 lbs. – causing a decline

in his health – the father of two young daughters knew something had to change...and fast. So he tried the same methods himself, dropping more than 70 lbs. on this program (see photos below, left). “Most diets today focus on speeding you up and starving you. This is a dangerous combination.” said Micheri. “More often than not, you will lose weight (pounds) at the sacrifice of your lean body tissue (muscles) and water with minimal fat loss. Once you stop eating and drinking their products and begin to eat normal foods, those muscle tissues will rebuild themselves, therefore gain weight back.” This is where the Amazing New Me program is set apart from other diets,” Micheri said. “Our program reverses everything. We focus on reduction of fat inches and education to help you to keep it off. This program puts the patients’ bodies in what we call a state of release. The body will naturally release and metabolize about 2,000 calories of fats daily. This is key, as the body bypasses the lean body tissue – what normally is lost by other diet methods. Our patients’ bodies, instead, target the adipose fats (fat layer below the skin) for calories and nourishment. As these fats are reduced it is noticeable more quickly. Your clothes will tell you everything Amazing New Me offers supplement based programs. There are no packaged foods to buy, no surgeries, nor exercise required. “We have learned

that most clients here in San Diego already eat more healthy, which makes the program easier as they can continue eating the same foods but now in smaller portions and more often during the day”, says Rick Micheri. The programs are all inclusive, the fee provides for all the supplements required, office visits and consultations. There are three supplements taken during the program. First is the FDA Registered Oral Spray, which is taken twice daily (morning and night). Patients keep the product by their bed, applying three sprays under the tongue when they awaken and when they go to bed. The second supplement is a methylcobalamin sublingual B-12. Patients take 10 drops once daily in the morning. Third is a once-daily supplement capsule taken with breakfast or lunch, which assists in appetite control and provides
‘When I first saw the ad for Amazing New Me I thought that sounds nice but it can’t really be true. Well let me tell you it is true! I have lost 35 pounds and more importantly the inches are falling off. I have gone from a ‘tight’ size 14 to a size 8. At 54 years old I had pretty much given up on ever getting my old figure back. Well, not anymore! I couldn’t be happier!’

Frequently-Asked Questions About the Weight Management Program
Amazing New Me’s Rick Micheri answered some frequently-asked questions about the center’s weight management program:
Is the program safe?
Yes, your body uses nutrients stored in the adipose fat deposits for additional nourishment. There are no unnatural or synthetic ingredients, no accelerants that speed you up or make you feel shaky or uncomfortable.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients are astonished in the first two weeks. They can’t believe how quickly their bodies are shrinking.
What is the average weight loss for the program?
The average male patient can lose one pound of fat a day. The average female patient can lose ½ to 1 pound of fat a day.
Will I feel hungry?
No, our products cause the body to use nutrients stored as fat to “feed” you, so you don’t feel physiological hunger. In the beginning days, the low calorie diet may trigger cravings or mental hunger because the body is removing toxins. If this occurs, the program provides an all-natural appetite control capsule.
Will I regain or rebound my weight?
a small amount of energy (many patients often stop this supplement as they progress in the program and appetite control no longer is an issue). Amazing New Me offers three programs: the original 70-day and 150day programs and now launching this February the new monthly program. Each program consists of 28-32 day weight loss cycles followed by 10-14 days of maintenance between each cycle. The maintenance period allows the body to recalibrate between weight loss cycles. During this period the client focuses on maintaining weight, not worrying about loss or gain. It gives them a real world opportunity to put what they have learned into practice for a short period of time without assistance of supplements. “We are proud of our clients successes and look forward to helping many more in the years to come as we continue our growth. Give us a call, the consultation is free,” explains Micheri (see ad in this magazine on page 51 for current promotion). ¢
Our program targets fat reduction which is less likely to return. You only restore fat by a continuous overeating over consecutive meals, allowing your body to have surplus calories to store as fat.

Q&A
What is the makeup of the 2012 RB Pop Warner League? The Rancho Bernardo Pop Warner League fields at least eight (8) football teams. This year we expect to have at least six (6) tackle football teams and two (2) flag teams. Each season we have about 200 football players, ranging from 5-15 years of age, 2nd grade through 8th grade. Our regular season includes 10-13 games per team, including playoffs and bowl games.
What is the traditional season for RB Pop Warner? Nationally, the Pop Warner football season starts on August 1st. We have three weeks of practice (five days a week) before the first pre-season game, and then scale back to three practices a week after Labor Day. The season typically runs from the last week in August through the end of November or early December.
What is the goal/vision/mission of the RB Pop Warner organization as a whole? RB Pop Warner’s goal is to provide a supervised, safety-oriented, competitive football and cheer program which incorporates the ideas of teamwork and sportsmanship while stressing the importance of scholastic achievement. RB Pop Warner shares the overall Pop Warner Mission: to enable young people to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment. Pop Warner seeks to familiarize players and spirit participants with the fundamentals of football, cheerleading and dance, and strives to inspire youth to practice the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship, and physical fitness. Pop Warner seeks to provide fun athletic learning opportunities for children, while emphasizing the importance of academic success.
What are the different levels/divisions of play? RBPW fields at least one team at all levels. Our Flag team is an entry-level, non-competitive football team for 5-7 year olds. From there we have our tackle divisions. Our Jr. Mighty-Mite facebook.com/92128magazine

and Mighty-Mite teams are for 5-9 year olds; these two teams are non-competitive and do not have playoffs. Our Jr. Pee Wee and Pee Wee teams are for 8-12 year olds, and our Jr. Midget and Midget teams are for 11-15 year olds. These teams do participate in playoffs, and league and national championships. Players are assigned to a team based on National Pop Warner weight and age standards. Last season the Rancho Bernardo League participated at the Division 2B level.
Are there any changes this season that players need to be aware of? RBPW remains committed to providing all players with the most up-to-date equipment and uniforms. We continue to purchase new helmets and shoulder pads, and continue to re-certify all existing gear to ensure they remain safe for the players. All of our
40
92128 Magazine
equipment is no more than 2 years old. In fact, RBPW recently donated 200 helmets and 180 shoulder pads to Titanes Football School in Tijuana, Mexico, providing that league with good equipment as well as making room for our new equipment. RBPW also has a great team of new and returning coaches who are preparing for the upcoming season.
What do the League registration fees cover? Our league registration fees, which are the same as last season, cover the cost of all required football equipment, except cleats. This includes helmets, shoulder pads, game and practice pants, game and practice jerseys, spirit gear and more. Reg Fees also cover the costs for practice and game field rentals, officials and trainers at all RBPW-hosted games, and an individual and team photo for each player.
March | April 2012
How does a business or family sponsor a team? We have just begun to seek sponsors for the 2012 Football Season and have a range of sponsorship levels for businesses or individuals to choose from. Any business or family interested in sponsoring a team or the league should contact Al Stein at astein@rbpopwarner.org. One significant way families have supported RBPW in the past is by sponsoring individual players and cheerleaders for our annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, now called “Bronco Spirit Night.” This fundraiser will be held at the RB Community Park on Friday, August 17.
Who are the current RB Pop Warner sponsors? Dick’s Sporting Goods (Escondido) is continuing their sponsorship of RB Pop Warner this season, as well as the Holiday Inn in Rancho Bernardo, which has been a very generous supporter for many years. 92128magazine.com
by a carnival-like atmosphere with games, food sales, and other activities. All donations to RBPW are tax-deductible.
What is the biggest challenge the RB Pop Warner League faces this year? The Board is still looking to fill the positions of Concession Manager and Fundraising Director, as well as Assistants for these crucial positions. We have a great team of board members this year and hope to bring in additional parents/community members who have the desire and experi-
“RBPW recently donated 200 helmets and 180 shoulder pads to Titanes Football School in Tijuana, Mexico”
~ Al Stein, RBPW President
ence to serve in these positions to help make this next season a success. We are continually committed to remaining fiscally responsible; making the need for fundraisers and concessions crucial to ensuring we have the capital we need to keep our costs and registration fees stable.
Are there any new developments community members should be aware of that will impact the season?
How does RB Pop Warner run such an organized program? RB Pop Warner has always had a dedicated team of parents and community members committed to making our league a success, both on the field and in managing the organization. Several of our Board members and coaching staff (Football and Cheer) have been with RBPW for several years, bringing experience and continuity to the organization. There are also countless parent volunteers who assist during the season, from taking care of the team on game day to being a liaison between the Board and the players/parents. Ultimately, we all volunteer to serve the students in our community by providing a safe environment where they can learn and grow in the sport of football, cheer, and life.
Does RB Pop Warner hold any fundraisers? Our main fundraiser each season is our annual walk-a-thon and carnival, which raises funds for the RBPW organization to fund recertifying and purchasing of new equipment, stadium rental, bowl games, and more. This year we will be holding our “Bronco Spirit Night” fundraiser on August 17 at the RB Community Park. Prior to Bronco Spirit Night, football and cheer participants are asked to seek donations to support RB Pop Warner from neighbors in their community. The evening will begin with all teams and squads walking around the park, and is followed facebook.com/92128magazine
RB Pop Warner will hold our in-person registration at the Gazebo at the RB Community Park instead of at the Westwood Club. Check our website for the registration dates and times. RBPW will also continue to hold practices at the RB Community Park, although in recent years we have had to begin our season practices at the High School due to cityscheduled field maintenance. As the season gets closer, the coaches will communicate any changes to the teams.
What is the most unique thing about RB Pop Warner compared to other programs? RB Pop Warner has been a mainstay in Rancho Bernardo for almost 40 years! The influence this program has had on the local community and the youth who have grown up here is impressive, and many past players have gone on to play collegiate football or are now returning to coach the next generation. Pop Warner is also the only national youth football and cheerleading organization that requires its participants to maintain academic standards in order to participate. Over the years, RB Pop Warner has represented that commitment to academics well, consistently having All-American Scholar recipients at several grade levels.
Additional Information about RBPW: Palomar Pop Warner also has a Challenger League for anyone with special needs. It is the only team in all of San Diego County and includes both Flag football and cheer. For more information, contact Diana Dahlstrom of Palomar Pop Warner at dahlstromd@usmc-mccs.org.

How does one become part of the RB Pop Warner Cheer organization? The RBPW Cheer program welcomes anyone who is interested in cheer, regardless of their skill level. At the beginning of every season our coaches begin by teaching and reinforcing cheer basics at each squad level. The cheerleaders grasp the basics quickly and build their skills upon that foundation. All cheerleaders attend a one day camp put on by JAMZ, a professional Cheer company, which teaches the cheerleaders the basics of cheerleading.
What do the fees cover? RBPW Cheer Squad fees cover the cost of Cheer Camp, practice uniforms, shoes, poms, and an individual and team photo. For competitive squads, the 2012 Registration fee will have an added fee to cover the cost of using an indoor practice facility, eliminating a separate “mat time” fundraiser which in previous years was required to raise the funds. Game Day Cheer Uniforms continue to be a separate cost.
Q&A What is the history behind RB Pop Warner Cheer? The RB Pop Warner Cheer program has also been active in the RB Community since 1974. The cheer program has always supported the football program as well as participated in cheer competitions and has been very successful in the competitive arena. RBPW Cheer typically has between 70-100 cheerleaders per season, with our competitive cheer teams continuing to grow over the years.
What is the makeup of the 2012 RB Pop Warner Cheer participants? For the 2012 season, RB Pop Warner is seeking to have cheer squads for every age group represented, from ages five (5) to fifteen (15).
sportsmanship while stressing the importance of scholastic achievement. Cheerleading was officially recognized in the 1970’s, but has been a part of the National and RB Pop Warner program for several decades. The RB Pop Warner Cheer program seeks to teach our youth the fundamentals of cheerleading and dance while developing competitive squads that support all of our football teams.
What are the different levels involved with the cheer teams?
RB Pop Warner Cheer participates along with the Football teams in the league-wide walka-thon fundraiser, now called “Bronco Spirit Night”, to raise funds for the organization. In addition, individual cheer squads have the option to sponsor a separate fundraiser to help pay for the cheerleader’s travel expenses for specific regional or national cheer competitions they participate in.
The levels, or divisions, for cheer squads are the same as football teams – Flag through Midget based on age. We have competitive divisions for Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Jr. Midget

RB Pop Warner’s Cheer program has been very successful in advancing to regional and national cheer competitions over the past few years. However, our biggest challenge for cheer continues to be recruiting enough cheerleaders to form squads to represent each football team on game day.
If you could have one wish for the organization as a whole this coming season, what would that be? My one wish is to see all the kids who want to play football or cheer to have the opportunity. It continues to amaze me to see how much these children learn in such a short amount of time and how the skills and teamwork they acquire positively impact their lives in the future. ¢

Seniors Inspire, Character Still Counts at RB High
RB
High, like other high schools, prides itself in educating driven, passionate students who go on to achieve big dreams. There are lots of programs in place at RB to spotlight the students who flourish in multiple areas along with academics. One of these programs is the RB High Bronco Ambassadors, a group of ten outstanding seniors who are committed to reinforcing the Character Counts pillars to the younger students in the district. “To watch the eyes of a child light up when talking to our Ambassadors is special,” said Vice Principal Keith Koelzer, the administrator in charge of the program. According to Koelzer, the idea for the program first occurred to RB High’s Associated Student Body (ASB) Director at the time when yearbook photographers, Visual Photography, suggested printing “trading cards” for seniors who could go to elementary and middle schools to talk about why character matters and to pass out their cards. These seniors are not only academically inclined, but also students of strong moral character. “The RBHS Bronco Ambassadors emphasize three important traits as they visit other schools. First, living a life of strong character
44
92128 Magazine
will help one achieve happiness and success. Second, committing oneself to academics is a key to a successful lifestyle. And, finally, maintaining a clean, tobacco, drug and alcoholfree lifestyle will help one achieve his/her dreams,” said Koelzer. The students are nominated by their teachers to be ambassadors for the coming year. “From that process, we interview the students to determine who becomes an ambassador. The students come from a variety of extracurricular activities on campus from sports, ASB, music, dance etc.,” said Koelzer. “Student involvement, having a high character and a solid GPA are essential, but the only real requirement is that the students have to pledge to be drug and alcohol free.” The Bronco Ambassadors are role models for the kids that they meet while traveling to different schools. Their agenda includes assemblies and personal classroom visits. This program is continually growing, and it gets busier with each coming year. These students have a powerful presence and a lasting impact on the future generations. ¢ Stacy Luu is senior at Rancho Bernardo High School.

ome parks in San Diego have familiar names like Balboa and Mission Bay, but one that is bigger and more accessible is the San Dieguito River Park. Stretching from the ocean in Del Mar to Volcan Mountain just north of Julian, the San Dieguito River Park is a multi-use trail system for hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders. When complete, the river park will include a 55 mile linear trail system called the Coast to Crest Trail and an overall boundary that will cover 94,000 acres. Currently, sixty-five miles of trails are available to the public in various parts of the park including the North Shore Lake Hodges trail, Highland Valley trail, and Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve hiking trail

The San Dieguito River Park currently encompasses some established recreational areas such as the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve, and the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. Also included are Lake Hodges and Lake Sutherland, where fishing and boating are permitted. To help it reach completion, a Joint Powers Authority has been tasked with acquiring land, raising funds and providing recreational opportunities for the area. As funds become available, more segments are acquired, planned and implemented. Ultimately, three visitor centers are planned within the park – at the lagoon, in the central area, and the back country area. The land acquisition, trail construction, maintenance, interpretation and habitat restoration programs are all funded from grants and donations. The creation of the San Dieguito River Park is a long-term project that began in 1989. It will take many years before the project is complete. Generations of San Diegans can get involved with helping it grow. Volunteer opportunities are plentiful to help the San Dieguito River Park project reach its full potential. Individuals can help with one-time, weekly or monthly projects such as trail restoration, habitat restoration or volunteer patrolling.

Miss RB Scholarship Pageant Promotes Community Service by TARA PRITCHETT | photos by Pond Photography
T
he Miss Rancho Bernardo Scholarship Pageant not only promotes the development of young women to support community organizations, it is a title awarded to the best all around young lady who demonstrates the heart and interest to serve. Lynn Ross, Director of the Pageant, encourages all young women interested in competing to apply. “For the young women that compete, I believe the
Q&A
most rewarding thing is the feeling of accomplishment for even trying.” shares Ross. All contestants that compete benefit by gaining confidence in themselves and their abilities, along with the opportunity to be a part of a community tradition while learning about a pageant experience. Ross feels very fortunate to be conducting the Pageant at the Rancho Bernardo Inn this year. “They have been great to work with to host the event. With a new venue we hope to have just as many or more
with Miss Rancho Bernardo 2011 Lauren Menzer
What was your focus?
To positively represent my community of peers and to be a positive role model for all ages. I also strived to impart confidence in young children and peers and to inspire them to be proud of their individuality. I wanted to demonstrate to all generations of the Rancho Bernardo community that if you work hard and stay true to yourself, you can achieve your dreams.
What were the top 3 highlights during your reign?
Representing Rancho Bernardo in the Spirit of the Fourth Parade and seeing all the families together to celebrate the independence of our country. Reading a story to my fifth grade teacher’s current classroom and sharing with them that beauty comes from the inside.
The opportunity to develop relationships with people of all ages through the various activities and events while representing Rancho Bernardo.
What were your challenges?
Having a more reserved personality, during my reign as Miss Rancho Bernardo I learned to be more comfortable being myself when interacting with others. At first, it was intimidating to go up to a prestigious community member and strike up a conversation, but I soon realized that they were pleasantly surprised that someone my age was interested in what they had to say.
What did you learn?
The truth in a genuine smile or a kind word can turn anyone’s day around. In addition, I realized that individuals of all ages looked to me as a role model and it made me strive even harder to be open with others and reach out to them.
What advice do you give young girls?

March | April 2012
The crown does not simply go to the contestant with the most expensive dress or the prettiest smile, but the one who is comfortable with who she is and is confident she will do great things.
Why should a girl enter the Pageant?
Miss Rancho Bernardo is the most elegant community pageant that I have seen thus far, and by participating in it you develop as a young lady, learning how to speak publicly and conduct yourself in interviews. You
92128magazine.com 92127magazine.com
will mature and progress as a young lady and become more poised, articulate, and confident.
What will girls learn who take part in the Pageant? The experience you gain from participating in the pageant is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life. Just by entering the pageant you take a step forward in developing confidence and maturity as a young lady, only to further it by practicing interviewing and public speaking skills.
What are your hobbies/interests?
I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking and bicycle rides. In high school, I was involved in many organizations and leadership positions ranging from ASB, Peer Counseling, Orchestra, and Cross Country and as a camp counselor in the summer. I have carried that over into college and am now involved in many organizations on campus including the Environmental Affairs Board, Compost Pilot Project, and Environmental Education for the Next Generation. On the weekends I love spending time with my family. Favorite past times are making collages and photography.

What was your focus?
Being a role model and representing the program with elegance.
What were the top 3 highlights during your reign? Poway Day’s parade, the Rancho Bernardo Inn Tree auction, and the Honorary Mayor announcement.
What were your challenges?
Time management. In addition to being Miss Teen Rancho Bernardo, I was involved in varsity cheer, varsity dance [captain], competition dance, and AP classes, which made my schedule very busy. It made me very organized and taught me to not over commit myself.
What did you learn?
The most valuable thing I learned was the love and passion that people have for Rancho Bernardo. The people I work with and the events I attend are filled with so many people who love and care about the city of Rancho Bernardo.
Why should a girl enter the Pageant?
The girls who are titleholders are not just at events to be a pretty face; they are there to represent the Pageant with intelligence, grace, and passion.
What will girls learn who take part in the Pageant?
There are many girls who share the same passion as they do about their community and feel empowered to be surrounded by so many intelligent, sweet girls.
What are your hobbies/interests? Dance, cheer, being with friends and family.
What’s next for you?
Go to a four-year university and become a broadcast journalist. I love being involved in my community and in the spotlight! ¢

:::: HOME TIPS
Unexpected Company
The Under an Hour Guide by JENNIFER FRAKES
W
e’ve all experienced this feeling at one time or another – the frazzled state of panic just moments after a phone call announcing that unexpected company is on their way. Follow these simple tips to get ready for company in under an hour. Your guests are guaranteed to think that your house always looks this good! ● ● Grab a laundry basket or other large container and go through the rooms in which you will be entertaining. Since there isn’t time to make sure that everything is put in its
proper place, put all old magazines, toys and other clutter in the basket. Then, put the basket in your bedroom and shut the door. In fact, shut all bedroom doors. ● ● Dust in the rooms where you and your guests will be, paying special attention to the TV and other electronic equipment (they tend to collect the most dust). ● ● Vacuum and/or sweep the floors in those rooms. ● ● Wipe down the mirror, counter, sink and toilet of the guest bathroom. Put out a fresh hand towel and make sure that there is plenty of toilet paper on the roll. Make sure to check for clothes or any unmentionables that may be in sight and put them away. ● ● Sweep the bathroom floor. ● ● If there are dishes in the kitchen sink, load them in the dishwasher. If there isn’t enough room in the dishwasher, rinse and stack the dishes neatly in the sink. If you have time, go back and hand wash them. ●● Wipe down the kitchen counters and sink. Sweep the floor. ● ● If it’s daytime, make sure to open the blinds or curtains to let in plenty of natural light. ● ● Take a minute to breathe. Check to make sure that you look presentable (and no, the old college sweatshirt with the coffee stain doesn’t count as presentable). ● ● Enjoy the visit!
Here are some additional tips to make sure that you are always prepared to feed unexpected company ● ● Have a box or two of miniquiches and/or cheese pastry puffs in the freezer. They heat up quickly and are perfect to offer as appetizers. ●● Who doesn’t love cookies? Have premade cookie dough in your fridge. The cookies bake in minutes and make the

92128 Magazine
whole house smell delicious! ● ● If you have enough space, it is always a great idea to have a frozen lasagna or other type of premade casserole in your freezer. If guests happen to be coming during the dinner hour, you will have another option besides ordering pizza. ¢

Memory maker Lum strives to create lasting memories for every client

gniting people’s creativity and creating lasting memories for clients is at the heart of Lori Lum’s business. Lum, a San Diego resident since 1998, owns and operates Spark Photography, which specializes in portraits and events. Lori had already started her business when she and husband Art, a manager at UPS, moved to Carmel Mountain Ranch in early 2009. They chose CMR because they heard it was a wonderful community with great schools. It seemed like the perfect place to start a family and grow a business. When the opportunity came for Lum to create images for 92127 and 92131 magazines, she jumped at the chance. “As a result, I get to be more involved in my community as well as the surrounding communities,” says Lum, “and the assignments allow me to meet interesting new people and make connections I never would have made otherwise.” Recently, Lum was especially excited to add her own zip code – 92128 – to the list of magazines that feature her work. In all her work, Lum takes special care to accentuate each client’s unique style and personality. Lum says, “I believe that everyone should have a photographic legacy that includes both informal and formal images.” She also contends that it is important to trust formal images to a professional – one who cares as much as their client does about the personal story they present to the world. “Taking time to work with your photographer and discuss your goals can work wonders for your ultimate satisfaction with the finished product,” says Lum. Spark Photography is the exclusive photographer for 92127, 92128, and 92131 Magazines, and is the preferred event photographer for KPBS. Spark also offers photography classes for all ages. Because of her dedication to her profession, Lum is a member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) and is a board member for the Professional Photographers of San Diego County (PPSDC).

n today’s world, many families are often forced to make a choice between quality of care, price and/or treatment time, but that isn’t the case at our office. We provide all three in a safe, clean and friendly environment,” says Blake Marston, DDS. Dr. Marston, who took over the practice for Dr. Thomas Adams upon his retirement last spring, is proud to offer the same standard of orthodontic care in the same Carmel Mountain Road location. The two doctors share a similar treatment philosophy – excellent care with a personal touch. “I strive every day to build upon the foundation that Dr. Adams built,” says Dr. Marston. Marston Orthodontics provides the full range of orthodontic services for adults and children. According to Dr. Marston, these services include everything from minor tooth movement to complex orthodontic cases and treating patients suffering from jaw pain. “Alternatives to braces, such as Invisalign, are also readily available,” says Dr. Marston. According to Dr. Marston, every treatment plan is developed with the patient, not for the patient. “Patients often remark how comfortable they feel after discussing their treatment options because they felt like they had a say in it.” Dr. Marston and his team are dedicated to assuring that patients are comfortable in all senses of the word by using the smallest, most comfortable orthodontic appliances on the market today. And according to Dr. Marston, if a patient wearing braces becomes uncomfortable, the staff is available, even after hours, to make sure the situation is remedied. Another component to the personalized service at Marston Orthodontics is the new online patient rewards program. “It will reward patients and their families for taking good care of their braces. Patients can track their points and rewards online,” says Dr. Marston. Dr. Marston’s primary goal for each patient is to achieve excellent results in the least amount of time possible and with minimal interruption to the patient’s personal life. “We do everything possible to accommodate busy schedules. Our financial arrangements are also extremely flexible, allowing families to find the ideal solution for their individual circumstances,” says Dr. Marston. ¢

usiness partners Carina and Billy Chandruang have always been passionate about food. So in September of 2011, the duo opened up their first restaurant. Named KiJ’s Cafe, after their two children, Kiana and Jett, and located in Santaluz, the restaurant is a mix between a traditional coffee shop and an elegant European bistro. After running a catering company in Tokyo, Japan, Carina was itching to pursue her passion of cooking here in the United States. Now that her kids are at appropriate ages it seems that opening KiJ’s Cafe was just the way for Carina to scratch that itch. “Food and cooking is my passion in life and always has been and I always wanted my own place like KiJ’s one day when the kids got old enough and the time felt right,” said Carina, who is also a chef at the eatery. Inspired by places they both have traveled and lived, the Chandruangs are devoted to making KiJ’s Cafe stand out from its competition. The café presents a robust menu full of traditional American items as well as distinctive culinary creations with a European 60

It boasts a unique and versatile wine list, and its gourmet brewed coffee has been called “the finest coffee anyone could ever ask for,” with freshly roasted coffee beans delivered weekly by the local coffee roasting company, The West Bean. “KiJ’s is a comfortable café bistro that offers so many different kinds of cuisines and great locally roasted coffee and great boutique wines and local beers in a clean and modern, yet comfy atmosphere,” said Carina. Although the Chandruangs highly recommend the Crouque Monsieur, they find it difficult to choose just one menu item to select as their signature dish. Describing their food as “always fresh, quality ingredients, cooked and made from scratch,” they clearly take pride in the array of dishes offered at their restaurant. From buttery croissants, to Salmon Teriyaki, or a simple mug of coffee, KiJ’s Cafe is sure to please every palate. For the local socialites, the café offers Friday and Saturday tapas nights from 5-9pm, Tuesday through Friday happy hour specials from 5-7pm, and has recently become available for catering outside events. ¢ March | April 2012 Special Advertising Section

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Buying Real Estate Using Your
401K
by SCOTT VOAK
L
ast issue, I wrote about investors we are working with who want to use cash flowing properties as part of their retirement planning. It seemed to hit a chord as I received several requests for more information, specifically if it is possible to do this with retirement funds. It is possible – and it works great!
Example:
A client just closed on a property for a little over $200k. After credits and repairs, his cash into the units is $57.5k. After all expenses, his positive cash flow will ultimately be almost $600 a month. In the short-term, he borrowed $50k from his 401K to make the purchase and has to pay that back over five years. His monthly payment is around $900. So, for five years he will have a $300/mo negative cash flow (he will use positive flow from another property we found him to cover this) and thereafter a $600/mo positive cash flow. He can pay the property off completely in about 18 years – even if we never raise rents. At that point, he will have turned a $7.5k cash investment plus $18k shortage (over five years) into a paid-off $200k property providing almost $20k a year in income. Of course, if we raise the rents at all, these numbers get better. ¢

Local Singing Phenom Kristi Krause Lights Up the Stage on American Idol
by WYNNE LOVE | photo by Tyler McElhaney
K
risti Krause has known since she was four years old that she wanted be on stage. “I became so obsessed with Annie after I saw the show on Broadway. I memorized all her songs and started putting on shows for my family. From then on I haven’t been able to put down the mic,” says Kristi, who has made it to Hollywood on the current season of American Idol. American Idol is the ideal showcase for Kristi to share her music and her energetic personality with a national audience. Kristi is thrilled to have this opportunity to show America and the judges what she can do as an artist. “I have learned so much about myself from experiencing this journey. You have to give 110%. There is so much extra work that goes on behind the scenes, but working hard and giving your all pays off,” says Kristi. Staying grounded and true to herself amid the Hollywood glitz and glamour is something that Kristi is committed to doing. She counts her own parents as her biggest supporters and credits them with her work ethic and determination. “I hope that as I progress with my music I can always be a light to others and never compromise myself,” says Kristi. For Kristi, being on stage and singing is more than just a way to share her music with others – it is the way she overcame her childhood diagnosis of Tourette’s syndrome. Tourette’s caused her to have non-stop physical twitches throughout the day. The twitches were hard enough to deal with, but the harsh words of others made it even more difficult. Hope came in the form of singing lessons when she was in 6th grade. “Singing was and is my escape. When I am up on stage, my Tourette’s goes away because I am right where I want to be and focused on doing what I love: performing,” says Kristi. Kristi hopes that American Idol will not only be the launching pad for her music career, but that the increased visibility it brings will help her make a difference in the world. “I hope to one day start a foundation to save animals in danger and put them in safe homes,” says Kristi. “I want to make a change. It can all start with one voice.” ¢
