:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER Aim for the Rim I had big dreams when I was a kid. As a dreamer, I had a vivid imagination growing up. One of my favorite things to do was visualize future achievements – we’ve all done it. For example, while playing around with the basketball I would tell myself that if I made the next shot, later on in life I would become a famous rock star, or an astronaut, or a jet pilot – you get the picture. The choices were endless. Sometimes it was as simple as the girl down the street who I had a crush on would notice me. And the funny thing is that even if I missed the shot, I would simply shoot again, many times raising the stakes a bit until I made the shot. Anything was possible. Last month, a group of my ZCode Magazine co-workers and I had the opportunity to volunteer at an event at a local Boys and Girls Club. It was the first day of their month-long program (Little Jumps, Big Changes) with the focus on the importance for young community members to lead active, healthy lifestyles. On that particular day we helped out on the basketball courts – shagging balls, encouraging kids to take shots, assisting with different forms and techniques, and of course, giving plenty of high fives and fist bumps. The kids and staff of the Boys and Girls Club welcomed ZCode with open arms. We jumped right into the mix, and by the end of the event all you could see were smiles – as well as a few beads of sweat running down our faces. Volunteering our time and interacting with the kids definitely had a personal impact on each one of us. We all traded in our busy calendars for a short period of time and became kids again. It felt good. I’m not sure who actually got more out of the event – our ZCode team or the kids at the Boys and Girls Club. All I know is that for a brief moment, I had the privilege of imagining endless possibilities – taking shots and dreaming of what will become of me if I actually made the basket. I plan to keep aiming for the rim. High fives and fist bumps always brighten my day (even in the office). I still feel like a kid. I still have big dreams. Derrick Breaux, Publisher

BOOT DRIVE KEEPS IT LOCAL!

n Tuesday, March 12th local firefighters will take to the streets for the Burn Institute’s 14th Annual Firefighter Boot Drive. Hundreds of uniformed firefighters from fire departments all over San Diego County come together once a year for a common goal, hopping aboard their engines to meet at intersections within their communities to collect donations in their boots during the morning and evening commutes. And each year, passing motorists help to fill those boots with their spare change – ones, fives, twenties – even $100 bills. “No matter the economy or weather, San Diegans have always given generously,” said Joanie Ewing, Director of Communications for the Burn Insitute. What began more than a decade ago as a grassroots effort backed by the fire service, the Burn Institute’s countywide Boot Drive has become a hallmark fundraiser for the organization. In 2012 alone, the annual one- day event raised nearly $230,000 to support the programs and services they provide. Last year, dedicated firefighters from a record 44 departments across the county gathered at more than 100 intersections to fill their boots. “The Boot Drive has become one of the Institute’s most successful events,” said Scott Walker, Burn Institute Interim Executive Director. That success is directly attributed to the enthusiastic support of local firefighters, he added. ” The fire service really is the

16 • 92128Magazine.com • March | April 2013

backbone of this organization. As a team we can do great things for the community.” Proceeds benefit Burn Institute fire and burn prevention education programs and burn survivor support programs such as Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children between the ages of five and 17. Celebrating its 27th season, the Burn Institute’s unique camp program has provided a safe place for hundreds of young burn survivors to share their experiences in a supportive camp environment. Sponsored by the San Diego–Imperial County Fire Fighters Advisory Council to the Burn Institute and the San Diego County Fire Chiefs’ Association, the Burn Institute’s 14th Annual Firefighter Boot Drive is the organization’s largest one-day fundraiser. All of the funds raised through the Boot Drive will stay in San Diego County. The top fire department from each region will win the Burn Institute’s highly-coveted bronze Boot Drive trophy. As the event nears, find updated listings of Boot Drive locations at www.burninstitute.org. ¢

or Tony Guirguis, sixth grader at Meadowbrook Middle School, life is busy with soccer, family, church, school and friends. He plays competitive club soccer with the San Diego Soccer Club and is inspired by international soccer sensation Cristiano Ronaldo. As much as Tony loves soccer, he has many other interests, including playing football with his friends. He is enjoying being in middle school, stating that changing classes is a bit challenging, but fun. In school he is passionate about math and science. “My favorite subjects in school are math and Name: Age: School: Grade: Parents: Siblings:

science because I love numbers and how numbers just make sense. I really like science because I think it’s amazing to learn why things are the way they are and how they got that way,” explained Tony, who is on the Meadowbrook Honor Roll. Tony has an 8-year-old sister, Sherrie Maria, who is in third grade at Shoal Creek Elementary School and also plays soccer. “My father, Sameh, is an engineer at Qualcomm and my mother, Silvia, is a domestic engineer,” said Tony. He and his family have lived in Carmel Mountain Ranch since 2003 and enjoy going to all of the local shops and eateries in the area, especially the Starbucks on Carmel Mountain Road. The Guirguis family is also very active in their church, St. Demiana Coptic Orthodox Church. Tony is involved in the youth group and participates in many events through St. Demiana. “My youth group came in first place in our age group at our diocese Church Spiritual Competition in 2012,” revealed Tony. He and his family are also dedicated to helping others as volunteers at God’s Extended Hands Homeless Shelter. When looking to the future, Tony hopes to continue his involvement with soccer and further his love of math and science. “I want to be a medical doctor and coach soccer in my free time. I would like to get married and hopefully have children,” related this well-rounded middle schooler. 

Keep On Running Carla Carter Takes the Shoal Creek Elementary School Running Club to the Next Level by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

arla Carter, Shoal Creek Elementary School’s Volunteer of the Year, is a fixture on campus playing a large role in the Running Club, a member of the PTA Executive Board, and a fundraiser for the Shoal Creek Educational Foundation. It all began when her youngest daughter started kindergarten at Shoal Creek. “There was an opening for the school’s Running Club Chair. I thought it would be a fabulous way to incorporate two of my favorite things: running and helping kids,” stated Carla. According to Carla, the program had been operating successfully for years, but she wanted to put her own spin on it. With the help of the Running Club committee, she incorporated motivating music and statistical tracking systems to award participation. In fact, Carla and the committee even developed a team that participates in both competitive and noncompetitive running events in the community. For Carla, running is a therapeutic sport that clears her mind, releases tension and gets her day off to a great start. She loves that her position as Running Club Chair has allowed her to share these benefits of the sport with Shoal Creek students. She is also glad that her daughters have been inspired by her volunteerism at the school. “I tell Adrianna and Maddalena that if giving their time and heart to support a cause they believe in can make a difference in just one person’s life, then do it. They both give back by volunteering at a local animal shelter and a local food bank,” related Carla. Carla and her husband, Louis, have been married for 15 years, and she proudly states that he is serving his 14th year in the U.S. Navy. Carla also revealed that she herself served two years in the Navy as a Nuclear Electrician. When the family moved to Carmel Mountain Ranch from Virginia about four years ago, they fell in love with the area and with the Shoal Creek community. “Carmel Mountain is full of places I love to hang out. Panera is a great place to meet friends, and when the kids and I have a ton of energy to use up we head to the Sabre Springs Recreation Center,” said Carla. When she’s not running or helping with the upcoming 11th Annual Parents’ Night Out fundraiser for Shoal Creek, she enjoys reading mystery novels, making crafts, and having great conversations with friends, many of whom are fellow Shoal Creek parents. 

From the “Hot Light” to Chelsea’s Light, the Giles Family LIGHTS Up Rancho Bernardo by kelley gusich | photos by Spark Photography

LIGHT Years When Tom and Lynn Giles met as 16-year-old students attending rival high schools, they never imagined it would lead to the fulfilling life they’ve been living for the past seventeen years in Rancho Bernardo. What started as a ten year courtship continues with an active family of three children—Cole, Riley, and Keeley Rae, along with dogs Bella and Izzy. The family enjoys their lifestyle so much so that they relive it every New Year’s, by making personalized appetizers and sitting in front of the TV to watch family movies while looking at pictures from the previous year. LIGHT Speed Tom works on the RB Recreation Council, and when Chelsea King disappeared, the Giles, even though they’d never met the Kings, immediately gathered to help in the search. “The Kings are now one of our closest friends,” remarked Lynn, “and we cherish that friendship. We wish we were able to have known Chelsea; she was a phenomenal young lady and an inspiration to all.”

Sustainable Homecoming: Returning Veterans Are Getting Schooled in the Local Organic Agricultural Industry by KATHY LOY

or some veterans returning home and looking for a job outside of military service, employment prospects can be bleak. The current economy is not as strong as it was for vets returning from previous wars, and the unemployment rate for veterans is twice the national average. The Veterans Valor Fund strives to provide programs in the agricultural industry, focusing on organic and locally sold produce and agricultural products, in order to assist needy or disabled veterans in California. These programs can be tuition grants, training programs, business grants and loans or funding for greenhouses. 4S Ranch resident and Treasurer of the Veterans Valor Fund (VVF), Daron Edwards, explains that the VVF “exists to support active duty and retired military individuals getting trained, educated and properly certified in the sustainable agricultural industry. This will enable them to establish their own business so they can get on their feet financially.” He and the other founders of the VVF got the idea from a program that started in Escondido called

Archi’s Acres, Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training program which is an “entrepreneurial incubator” for transitioning veterans. Archi’s Acres has trained over 100 veterans for careers in sustainable agriculture and other sectors in the food supply chain. Daron, a Financial Advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors in Rancho Bernardo, says that providing veterans this kind of help has its benefits. “Giving back, in a tangible way, to these brave men and women warriors who have risked their lives to secure our freedom and seeing them discover the possibilities of being their own boss and being financially independent is rewarding,” said Daron. “As is having a way to encourage and support them in chasing their dream. Coming from the financial background of investments and money management it is important for me to participate in guiding these men and women into sustainable careers. Risk is mitigated with proper training and guidance.” The VVF is a non-profit organization that wishes to partner with individuals and

organizations that want to take part in helping more veterans make a smooth transition to financial independence. Recently, three San Diegans in the auto industry sponsored students to go through a sustainable agricultural program: Joe Allis (Porsche), George Athan (Audi), and Jason Puga (Land Rover) organized by Janet Lawless Christ of Coldwell Banker in Rancho Santa Fe.

Swim Coach Teaches Child with Spina Bifida to Swim

John Ruffu, owner and swim coach at Swim 2 John, recently taught 30-month-old spina bifida patient, Fernando Gallego, to swim. During the second week of learning to swim, Fernando learned to walk. His therapist told his mother that his swim lessons were very instrumental in him walking without crutches. Marcia Gallego, Fernando’s mother, explained, “Fernando started swimming lessons with John just after a few weeks of a brain surgery. The big surprise was that after two weeks of lessons he was swimming and also walking independently. We spent a lot time in hospitals this last summer but the end of it was a total success with this important achievement.” Over the past ten years, parents of challenged children have seen incredible advancement in their kids through a learn to swim teaching process based on multiple concepts used by special needs organizations. These concepts develop independence for children in or recovering from developmental delays. John uses these methods on every child he teaches to swim, challenged or not. You can learn more about John at www.swim2john.com.

DNHS KIN Club Food Packaging Project

The Do Something Del Norte KIN Club in conjunction with Friends & Family Community Connection is hosting a “Feed A Child, Save A Life” food packaging event on Friday, May 3rd from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at Del Norte High School. The club’s purpose is to engage students in community service and social action, with a focus on helping kids in need. Last year, the event was extremely successful, as over 500 student and community volunteers made 20,280 meals for kids in need. Approximately 6,000 of the meals were allocated for local distribution. The balance was sent to orphanages in Haiti and Tanzania. This year the goals remain the same. Each meal costs only 25¢ which covers the cost of the ingredients and shipping, and the student leaders are currently raising the required funds to package these special formulated meals. Volunteers will work assemblyline fashion adding rice, soy, vitamins, minerals and chicken/vegetable flavorings, all with the intent that children both in San Diego and around the world will be provided something warm and nutritious to eat. KIN Club is looking for local businesses and community groups to partner with this effort through sponsorship and volunteering. For more information contact dnhsKINclub@gmail.com.

RBHS Friends of the Library Continues to Keep Students Reading

By Alexa Clausen, Parent Volunteer RBHS Friends of the Library Last year, the RBHS library recorded the most book checkouts/ per student than in any of the previous years. On average, 1300 students/day use the library for instruction, research, designing PowerPoints or Prezis, homework, and printing. The library can do this only with the help of a non-profit organization, the RBHS Friends of the Library (FOL). The primary goal of the FOL is to raise money for much needed staffing and books to supplement the continuing drastic budget cuts. Linda Gannon, FOL President, and board members, Liz Schwartz and Sharon Ellison work closely with Teacher/ Librarian Benn von Wistinghausen to secure funding through grants to advance new technology for the library. Recently, the FOL received a $5,000 grant from RB Community Foundation to purchase e-books. This hard-working organization has been challenged to raise $30,000 this school year. Many small and large sources of funding are pursued and secured by FOL members. Dick Mason, founder of the FOL has collected the most donations for the FOL share in the on-line auction. With a twinkle in his eye and the library cause in his heart, donors have a tough time turning him away. Shirley Black, who now has a grandson attending RBHS promotes the FOL cause by organizing used book sales and the holiday gift-wrap event at the Mt. Carmel Barnes and Noble. For more information on how to support the FOL visit www.rbhsfriendsofthelibrary.org.

92128: What is the most rewarding part of dedicating your time to kids who have an interest in the sport? Matt: My goal is for every one of our players to experience the same passion, fun, life lessons, friendships and memories that I had during my time playing lacrosse. Watching our players journey through youth to middle school and onto high school with a love for the sport, the RB program, the school and our community is rewarding.

Laura: I think the biggest reward as a lacrosse coach is instilling the love and passion for the game of lacrosse – it truly is a magically game when you learn the skills and work with your teammates to play lacrosse. I’ve seen amazing things happen on the field that will give you goose bumps! It is so awesome to watch kids work so hard at learning the skills, their dedication, working together, having fun, learning how to overcome challenges and how all their hard work pays off. Being able to be a part of the kids’ journey of lacrosse is the best gift of all!

Theresa: Every season, I enjoy watching kids grow as individuals and discover how to operate as a team. They wear the RB uniform with pride and we all make lasting friendships out on the lacrosse fields.

92128: Have any of your players gone on to compete on a professional level of lacrosse? If so, please elaborate. Yes, we have had numerous girls that started in the middle school program, go on to play at the Varsity level at RBHS, and then onto receiving full and partial scholarships for lacrosse at NCAA Division 1, 2 and 3 programs across the country. University of Maryland (on the NCAA 2010 National Championship team), Ohio State, Syracuse, Providence College, USNA, West Point, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, UMBC, Univ. of Arizona, Syracuse, University of Denver, St. Mary’s College, Bryant College in Rhode Island and many more.

RBHS Competitive Dance Team Thrives

few years ago, many RBHS courses were in danger of being cut because there was not enough interest to fill a classroom. Many of these courses were taken from the elective category, but one of the biggest objections came from the possibility of a dance course being cut. Due to overwhelming student support, the course was saved, and it further proved that the dance team has a significant place on campus. RBHS offers modern dance, intermediate, hip hop, b-boy, and Tour de Force (TDF). From Tour de Force comes a select group of outstanding dancers who make up a competitive team. The team consists of Emily Liu, Nini Liu, Melanie Ordonez, Hailey Enriquez, Hayley Duggin, Amanda Franklin, Lauren Vild, Katie Christopher, Holly VonDohlen, Sequoyah Tate, Alyssa Rosse, Kylie Yamane, Kayla Folts, Kristine Herring and Katie Brown. Recently, the fifteen member team traveled to Orlando, FL to compete in the Large Varsity Jazz Division UDA National Dance Team Competition. They ended up placing 10th out of 44 teams in their division. “We went to the competition because our coaches had all

50 • 92128Magazine.com • March | April 2013

competed in it during their college years and they all had fond memories of it. The semi-finals were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Indiana Jones Theater and the finals at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. With an impressive finish, we are eager to move on to more competitions,” related team member, Emily. “The team trains every Tuesday and Thursday after school and on weekends.” said Coach, Michelle Ling. “Additionally, these girls are expected to take technique classes at local studios to keep their level of technique and dance training up to standard.” From now until April, the team has a multitude of competitions - USA Regionals, USA Nationals, and Miss Dance Drill Nationals. Through diligence and teamwork the girls hope to continue to progress and meet their goals – the ultimate being a National Champion title. With the support they give each other and their passion for the sport, it looks like the team has a promising future. Visit www.rbhsdance.com to view photos from competitions, learn about upcoming events, and keep track of their successes. ¢ Stacy Luu is a senior at Rancho Bernardo High School.

Here’s Adventure! As a child, Leopoldo Antonio Carillo traveled frequently from his home in Santa Monica to visit the rancho that belonged to his Tio (Uncle) Machado. The warm and inviting feeling of the sun-dried adobe brick walls, the handmade red tile roofs, the aroma of wood smoke emanating from the fireplaces, and the sights and sounds of the brightly colored peafowl that freely roamed the property fueled his dreams. As he grew to adulthood, and Leo made his living as a Hollywood actor, the dream persisted. He envisioned and created his own authentic Spanish Rancho—The Rancho de los Quiotes, purchased from the Kelly Family in the 1930s. He drew a picture of his perfect Rancho in the dirt, and between 1937 and 1940 built what is now the Leo Carillo Historic Ranch. Here’s Romance! The City of Carlsbad acquired the Ranch in 1978, but the park did not open to the public until 2003. Alan and Joan Kindle took a special interest in Leo Carillo’s dream when they moved to Carlsbad in 1985 and they formed the Friends of Carillo Ranch, Inc. Recreation Supervisor Charles Barlteria explained, “Kindle was successful in getting the ranch designated as a California State Historic Landmark as well as being

listed on the National Register of Historic Places.” Recently, Carlsbad received a Governor’s Historic Preservation Award for its work restoring the barn at the Ranch and converting it into a modern visitor center and theater. Here’s the Famous Robin Hood of the Wild West! Leo Carillo Ranch is unique to other historic parks because of its Hollywood connection. Although Leo Carillo acted in nearly 100 movies, he is most famous as the lovable sidekick “Pancho” in the 1950s TV show The Cisco Kid where Cisco and Pancho played Robin Hood type desperadoes who assisted the downtrodden. It would surprise many to know Leo was already in his 70s when the series began in 1950, and it also may be interesting to learn The Cisco Kid was one of the first television series to be filmed in color. Here’s the Leo Carillo “Ranch of the Spanish Daggers” for Your Visiting Pleasure! Guided tours at the Ranch teach visitors Leo Carillo’s legacy, which includes his acting career, but also shows us a man who cared deeply for his native California. Take a trip to the Leo Carillo Ranch and visit a fabulous piece of California History! 

2Good2B Missed Gluten-Free Food That’s Almost Too Good to be True

M by WYNNE LOVE

ike Barbanti loves food, so when Celiac disease severely limited his diet, he was devastated. Not one to stomach lemons, Mike decided to make lemonade – or, more specifically, a gluten-free lemon cake that bowled over his gluten-intolerant and wheat-loving friends alike. Mike’s creations were so well-received that he opened an online bakery in 2009 and now, with business partner, Diana Benedek, he sells their delicacies in person at the 2Good2B Bakery and Café on El Camino Real. “We do not know of another 100% gluten, corn, and soy free café and bakery in the world,” noted Mike. And perhaps most unique, this one sells something gluten-free dieters miss most: bread! “We combined forces by uniting

our vision: an allergen-free, safe haven for people that have food allergies, but where the food is delicious enough that non-allergic clients would also come,” explained Diana. “We realized we achieved this goal when we calculated that 50% of our clients are not gluten-free, they just love that we are also corn-syrup free and only use pure, high quality ingredients.” That is the 2GOOD2B motto: “food for everyone,” Name of Business: and was Mike’s Co-Owners: primary focus Years in Position: in crafting his Year of Establishment:

recipes and what he says sets them apart from the usual gluten-free fare. “All this is achieved seamlessly so that everything is delicious by foodie standards,” added Mike, “and why over half of our clientele choose us on taste alone!” Trained in microbiology and immunology and with a Ph.D. in civil engineering, Diana is uniquely qualified to help people with food allergies not only because she understands the science, but because she has conquered her own. “I am passionate about spreading the word on the many diseases associated with gluten intolerance,” she explained, “but also making people aware that corn and soy are also potential culprits that are not well known in the food allergy world.” But she needn’t shout from the rooftops; the food speaks for itself. 2Good2B serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites to an ever-growing group of loyal customers. “Our biggest sellers are our cupcakes, sandwiches, paninis, and pizzas,” offered Diana. You’ll find Mike and Diana at the Gluten-Free Food Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on November 17, but don’t wait till then.

Getting the Most Out of Your Yard this Spring

by wynne love

s southern Californians emerge from their mild winter into the cool and often rainy days of early spring, now is a good time to do a little outdoor clean-up so you can lounge in a beautiful and blooming yard come spring. As winter comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to give your yard a head start for spring. Even those of us with few gardening skills can tackle these few easy steps, shared by local experts. Feed Me, Seymour! David Ross, Senior Manager of the Walter Anderson Nursery in Poway, confirmed that February is the ideal time to fertilize and amend your soil, leaving it full of nutrients for your plants’ first good spring meal. Give Me Some Air. There is no set schedule for lawn aeration. It all depends on how much traffic the lawn gets and how healthy it is, but lawns should be aerated a minimum of every two to three years, and early spring is as good a time as any, loosening soil and priming the area for new growth.

56 • 92128Magazine.com • March | April 2013

Get Off My Back! As your prized plants get ready for a spring growth spurt, so do the weeds. Avoid the invasion of crab grasses and other persistent and fast-growing weeds by using a pre-emergent weed killer on lawns and a horticultural oil spray on plants. Walter Anderson’s David Ross also recommends regularly checking for the arrival of aphids and hosing them off. I Need a Drink. While it is still early to increase watering times, it is a good idea to check your automated schedule, especially with the increase in rainfall. Make sure palms and lawns aren’t getting too much water, but be sure not to neglect potted plants which will still need regular doses. Don’t Rush Me. Though the weather may be warming already, don’t be too eager to plant those summer vegetables – it’s still too early. In February, there is still time to plant another round of leafy greens and root vegetables. “February is a great time to plant citrus,” added Ross. “It’s too late to plant bare-root fruit trees, but it’s the very beginning of the citrus tree season.” Not a lot of room? Try a “fruit salad” tree which can grow as many as five different varieties of citrus on one tree. Then, sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor! 

for the Community Kathy Hutchens is Doing Her Part to Keep 92128 Thriving by michelle tremblay | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

fter growing up in Illinois and attending college in Indiana, Kathy Hutchens thought it was about time to move out west. “My brother was the first to move to San Diego, and then we quickly followed,” she said. “My parents soon joined us.” Now with her mother just down the street, Kathy and her husband, Brian, reside happily in Rancho Bernardo with their two children: Jeremy, a sophomore at the University of Vermont, and Stephanie, a senior at Rancho Bernardo High School (RBHS). Kathy and her family have been 92128 residents for the past thirteen years, and still love the “small town feel” that initially drew them to the area. “The people here are wonderful,” beamed Kathy, “and everyone really comes together to support one another in times of crisis.” She and her family enjoy cheering for RBHS at various sporting events, and attending the RB Alive! Expo. Kathy is also a self-proclaimed “garage sale freak” – she and her girlfriends seek out the latest neighborhood bargains every Saturday. In her work life, Kathy is Director of Marketing and Patient Contact for Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, and has been with the company for 19 years. “I love my job because I am passionate about helping people receive the very best care possible,” she said. And she isn’t just passionate about her work. Kathy is steadfast in her efforts to strengthen the community. For several years, Kathy has served on the board for the San Diego North Chamber of Commerce, where this year, Sharp Rees-Stealy is the co-sponsor of the upcoming week-long event, Women’s Week. “We will be hosting an evening of health on Thursday, March 14th at our new location in Sorrento Mesa,” she noted, “where women can learn about skin care, how to manage their weight and other topics, and receive free screenings, and more.” Kathy has also served two terms as the President of the RBHS Foundation. “We are so fortunate in our community to have committed teachers who provide a quality educational experience for the kids,” she said. “I have tried to help at the school in any way I can.” When asked what aspect she enjoys most about working closely with the community, Kathy replied, “I enjoy being a catalyst for change and helping people make meaningful connections. I love to work with people who share a passion and believe they can make a difference.” 

Dr. Steven Schneider, DDS Gives Patients a Reason to Smile with Top Quality Cosmetic and General Dentistry by jennifer frakes | photos by Michael Bielecki

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 in to our office, they are surrounded by a rock-n-roll 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

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Investment Strategy to Protect Against a Downturn by SCOTT VOAK

have received several questions along the line of “What if this is just a bubble?” and “How do you know prices won’t fall again?” While I think real estate is on a fairly solid footing, there are definitely conditions in the world that could change that. Last issue I wrote about how

to protect yourself against a drop in the market for those people looking to purchase a primary residence. This issue, I want to look at the same concept for investment real estate.

For the past two years, we have been stressing cash flow to our real estate investors.

Prior to the housing crash, many inexperienced investors were willing to take on a property with negative cash flow because the market was rising so quickly that the appreciation was larger than the monthly negative. That story had a bad ending. Purchasing a property with large positive cash flow insulates an owner against the ups and downs of the market.

We have been helping investors purchase 2-4 unit San Diego property that generates

a cash-on-cash return in excess of 8% the first year. What this means is that if an investor puts

Scott Voak, MBA – Broker

$100k into a property for down payment, closing costs and a repair reserve, the first 12 months of ownership should yield $8k of positive cash flow after all expenses (including mortgage) are

CA DRE #01153157 10815 Rancho Bernardo Rd #390 San Diego, CA 92127 (888) 311-6311 Scott@VoakHomes.com

paid. In some of the 4-plexes, the cash flow is still positive when one unit is vacant.

The importance of positive cash flow cannot be overstated. For example, if you were

to invest $100k in the property above, you could apply the positive cash flow to early principle

payments and have the loan paid off in 15-16 years (if you do not increase rents at all). In that case, your initial equity investment would increase as the property is paid off to about $350k

(the initial purchase price) if there is no inflation. Even if property values fall 25% in 15 years,

your $100k would grow to $262k – not bad in a down market and only possible because positive cash flow lets you hang onto a property through tough markets.

Next issue, I will look at marketing strategies to create an auction environment when

selling your home. ¢

We can make the ultimate difference in life. Facing another day of hair loss or thinning hair becomes a demoralizing burden that can seriously damage so many aspects of our lives—which we never think about when we have all of our hair. What makes it even worse is feeling you can’t do anything about it. If hair loss has affected your life, there is something you can do about it. Ultimate Hair makes it personal, and makes sure it’s not only your hair that is restored, but also your life. And that takes people dedicated to you every step of the way. that’s who we are.
