FROM THE PUBLISHER
TM
Frequently Asked Questions
I
t has been eight years since we published our first magazine. We have grown from one local publication to a collection of 14 magazines that covers the majority of North San Diego County. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I get asked some repeat questions. So, I thought it would be fun to do an informal F.A.Q.
So, how does it work? Who pays for the magazines to be delivered? This is by far the most common question I get when talking to businesses, friends, readers, government representatives, etc. There is only one answer. Our incredible advertising partners – the businesses and organizations you find throughout these pages – are the exclusive sponsors that should be thanked. We are 100 percent supported by these revenues, and without the participation of these loyal businesses, there would be no magazine. So please take the time to let these businesses know you appreciate their participation and that you saw them in 92128 Magazine.
Are these magazines part of a franchise? No, 92128 Magazine has no affiliation with a national company or franchise. It is a home-grown publication that started with an idea, a lot of napkin scratching, and a desire to publish a local magazine our neighbors would want to read. Although we strive to make every magazine look bigger than life, we are a small, family-owned company that started out of our living room – and we are very proud of that history.

Who writes the stories, and who designs the magazines?
This is my favorite question to answer, and I think this sets us apart from many other publishing companies. We have a team of about 20 incredibly talented people consisting of editorial, writers, photographers, graphic designers, account executives, and a production coordinator. All are local, and all work feverishly to produce the best magazines possible.
Why do you publish magazines? This answer is very personal. Although I don’t get asked this nearly as often, it is the most important question. We publish 92128 Magazine because we want to bring joy to our communities. I believe this magazine is larger than the paper it is printed on. It creates lasting memories, and memorializes community events and happenings. The pages of 92128 Magazine can be found framed on the walls of people’s homes. People are excited to mail them to grandparents and relatives that live outside of the area. Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, or even 40 years from now, perhaps someone will open up a loved one’s cherished box of memories. And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 92128 Magazine that their relative proudly tucked away. And this will once again put a smile on someone’s face. That’s why I print magazines. Thank you for reading 92128 Magazine and being a part of something that touches the hearts of our communities.

The Hardes Clan Is Enjoying Life in Rancho Bernardo
Gerry and Lilita Hardes Charles Hardes and Elisa Hardes Charlie (4) and Nathanael (3) Vista del Lago in Rancho Bernardo since Aug. 2015 Gerry and Lilita lived in the Milwaukee, WI area for 36 years; both are originally from South Dakota Gerry – Retired Dec. 2016 from FIS; Lilita – closed her counseling practice upon their move to RB Lifelong cat owners but currently pet-less San Dieguito Parkway/Lake Hodges, Rancho Bernardo Community Park, the restaurants in Rancho Bernardo Town Center, Oaks North Golf Club, and Bernardo Winery
I
n August 2015, Lilita and Gerry Hardes left the cold Milwaukee winters behind for new adventures in San Diego. Their son Charles was a Marine Corps officer in Camp Pendleton, and his experience prompted him to encourage the whole family to come to America’s Finest City! Charles is a University of Wisconsin and Oregon State graduate, now employed as a software engineer for a local military contractor. His wife Theresa is a physical therapist in Poway; they have two sons: Charlie (4) and Nathanael (3). Charlie just finished preschool at St. Michael’s and will attend kindergarten next year at Chaparral Elementary in Poway, whereas Nathanael will attend a local Montessori program. They live in Vista Del Lago in RB, where Gerry and Lilita now live as well – less than half a mile from the grandchildren. Charles also convinced sister Elisa to come after she graduated from Chicago’s Columbia college. Elisa is a clinic manager at University of California San Diego and a certified nutritionist, teaching a weekly nutrition class at Poway Adult School. Her fiancé Mark Hepler was a lifetime Lakeside resident. As a collegiate golfer at University of San Diego, he now works for Adidas golf. They live in Point Loma and are planning an October destination wedding in Costa Rica. “It is wonderful being close to the entire family,” Lilita smiled. “We were able to start new family traditions such as weekly dinners, going to Big Bear in December for snow sports, camping 14 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • August | September 2017
and hiking along the Pacific Crest Trail, and of course, taking the grandsons to Padres games, Legoland, the Safari Park, and the museums at Balboa Park.” Lilita and Gerry met during a college sociology class at the University of South Dakota. Lilita then counseled children and families for 36 years before her retirement, whereas Gerry worked as a business analyst until his retirement in 2016. As one way to get to know her community, Lilita took a Writing Books for Children course at Poway Adult School, which resulted in the publication of her own children’s book. A Fraidy Cat was inspired when Lilita’s grandsons met her own new cat. The book introduces comparisons to young readers, and can be enjoyed by all those who are young at heart and who own pets being newly introduced to young children. Lilita is excited to share the book with her community on Aug. 19 at 2 p.m., when she will be part of a local author book signing at the Mira Mesa Barnes & Noble. She hopes you and your children enjoy the book while she is enjoying her new home with family in Rancho Bernardo! ¢

T
his summer, Poway Unified School District string orchestra students traveled to China, touring the cities of Beijing, Xian, Wushi, and Shanghai. The students not only had the chance to perform abroad, but also enjoyed Chinese musical performances, local cuisine, and guided tours of each city. The tour was organized by Orchestra Director Ulli Reiner, and parents came along for the trip as well. “After arriving in Beijing and a tour of the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall of China was a spectacular sight to behold and journey up on,” said Ulli. The students then visited the site of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, including the iconic Bird’s Nest Beijing National Stadium. The following day, they toured Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City. Other destinations throughout the
trip included the Terracotta Army museum, a silk factory where they learned about the silk-making process, and the shopping bazaar and gardens of Shanghai. “A visit to a local family by rickshaw and a chance to ask questions about life in China was an eye-opening experience of such gracious people,” Ulli added. The students performed at the 100-year-old Wangfujing Catholic Church, a senior center President X Jinping had visited earlier this year, and Wushi Dongin Middle School. “The students had a fantastic experience of a lifetime, both culturally and musically,” shared Ulli. “They came back with a greater sense of our global world, and as our group t-shirts stated, our mission was to bring peace and harmony to the world through music. We accomplished that and so much more!” ¢
C ont act Us F o r A F r ee Tr i a l ! 4S Dance Academy believes every student deserves a high quality, personalized training experience. Our goal is for each student to gain a strong understanding of classical ballet technique, artistry, and expression in an enthusiastic and nurturing environment.

The program includes music by Chopin, Liszt, and Albeniz, as well as Nocturne by Scriabin for left hand alone and Naomi’s arrangement of famous Japanese folk song “Sakura.” They will conclude the performance with a four-hand rendition of West Side Story, accompanied by percussionist Ephraim Reitman.

Assemblymember Brian Maienschein recently recognized Greenway Irrigation Lawn and Landscape as Assembly District 77’s Small Business of the Year. “Greenway Irrigation Lawn and Landscape is an example of what every business should be,” said Assemblymember Maienschein. “This small business is known throughout the community for its commitment to superior customer service and commendable business ethics.” The landscape company is owned by Rancho Bernardo resident Scott Lawn, who is also an active community volunteer, serving as president of the Rancho Bernardo Business Association and as a volunteer with the North San Diego Business Chamber and the Poway Chamber of Commerce. “The one thing that most struck me when we received this award was the select group that we were included with,” said Scott. “Only 75 small businesses in the entire State of California out of 3.5 million were chosen.” His son and business partner Alex Lawn added, “We are so proud that the company that we have worked so hard to build was recognized as a quality leader in the irrigation, lawn, and landscape industry.”

RBHS Robotics Celebrates 10 Years Rancho Bernardo High School’s (RBHS) Team Σ-Motion is celebrating its 10th anniversary and another successful year as a FIRST robotics team. The team of 45 students gained hands-on experience by working together to design, build, and code a robot in just six weeks to compete at the annual FIRST Robotics Competition. Other notable accomplishments this year include the addition of new mentors to the team to help guide the students as well as the expansion of the team’s community outreach programs, providing free workshops and robot demonstrations to the public. Team members also visit middle and elementary schools in the area, mentoring students in STEM fields and providing guidance and support of lower level robotics programs such as FIRST Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge. Over the past several years, Team Σ-Motion has built a total of seven robots solely for use in competitions. The team has competed in multiple FIRST competitions including Battle at the Border, San Diego Regional, Las Vegas Regional, Inland Empire Regional, and the San Diego County Fair. Team Σ-Motion also continues to be dedicated to promoting student interest in STEM fields in the local community and beyond. Learn more at www.team2658.org.
Creekside Spelling Bee Winner Fifth grader Naman won Creekside Elementary School’s Annual Spelling Bee just before school was dismissed for the summer. Naman moved through 25 rounds of the competition, ultimately defeating 19 other finalists and making him the first student to win the school-wide spelling bee two years in a row. Fifth graders Nicholas and Hasita tied for second place, and fourth grader Veer came in third. The finalists are determined by a qualifier test, in which they must beat out a field of third, fourth, and fifth grade students for a seat on the stage. The bee is highly competitive and occurs in front of a full audience of classmates and family members. Creekside is one of the few elementary schools in the area that runs an on-stage production of the bee.

This group of local residents is passionate about making a difference in their neighborhoods and yours. Since its founding in 1971, the council has grown and evolved to meet the community’s changing needs. We learn more about the council’s tremendous impact by talking with RBCC President Robin Kaufman.

As for programs, a few that we offer include: CPR training, stranger danger presentations, Coping with Coyotes, scam education programs, cyber bullying presentations, how to keep yourself and your household safe, an annual Safety Fair, and an annual Earth Day Fair.
The Rancho Bernardo Community Council shall provide comfort, protection, civic service, and representation for the community. We interface with government agencies, utilities, and other influencing factors on local issues. We preserve and enhance our unique quality of life. We are ‘Your Voice in the Community.’ C A N YO U T E L L U S A B I T A B O U T THE HISTORY OF THE RBCC?
The RBCC was established in 1971 as the Rancho Bernardo Town Council to give the community a voice in the city and to bring attention to any issues in the community. It was established as a nonprofit entity in 1973. The name of the organization was changed to the Rancho Bernardo Community Council in 1981. Since Rancho Bernardo is a community in the City of San Diego as opposed to a town, the members at that time felt the word ‘community’ better reflected Rancho Bernardo. W H AT P R O G R A M S O R S E RV I C E S DOES THE RB COMMUNITY C O U N C I L P R OV I D E ?
We offer a wide range of programs and services for the community. Much of our work is done behind the scenes in order to keep Rancho Bernardo looking the way it does and maintaining the quality of life we have become accustomed to.
A T - A - G L A N C E P R E S I D E N T
As for services, we handle code compliance issues, graffiti issues, and removal of homeless encampments. We act as the liaison between our various government representatives and our community, and as the liaison between work projects taking place in our community by keeping everyone apprised of the projects, any progress with the projects, when they will be completed, etc. We act as the sounding board for residents when it comes to any concerns they may have and then we do our best to help resolve the issue. It can be anything from replacing a sign or getting a curb painted red to reporting abandoned vehicles. In the latter aspect, we encourage the residents to utilize the City’s new Get It Done app. Unfortunately, not all residents are able to utilize computers or app programs, so we continue to support them by handling the issues for them.
of life in this community behind the scenes. In front of the scenes, I would have to say the Fire Station 33 Renovation Committee is one of the accomplishments of the council. This was originally started by the council after members took a tour of the station and saw the dismal condition of the station. The council brought this attention to the community and to the City and decided to form a partnership with the City to raise funds and renovate the station. Eventually, the renovation committee became so large that it became its own entity, separate from the council. However, those on the committee wound up being council members.

C O V E R F E AT U R E I would also have to say, the council has worked very hard through its Maintenance Assessment District to beautify the community utilizing water conservation efforts. Our medians are slowly reflecting this in different areas of the community. We also hold an annual hot cocoa with Santa event where we ask people to bring one new, unwrapped toy. We bring these toys to the Polinsky Children’s Center. We recently began collecting new or gently used children’s sporting equipment/clothing which is being donated to communities where children cannot necessarily afford the equipment necessary to participate in sports activities. We also place flags on the Rancho Bernardo median to recognize various holidays such as Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, President’s Day, Independence Day, etc. Another accomplishment that few people know of is that a number of organizations in the community were originally part of the Rancho Bernardo

Community Council. They became so large that they became their own entities. They include the Spirit of the Fourth organization, the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation, Concerts on the Greens, and even Neighborhood Watch. The Friends of the RB Library also originated from the RBCC. It was originally an ad hoc committee formed in the very early 1970s in order to obtain a library in RB, which would replace the small bookmobile we had for the community. We were able make that happen with a small, official City library branch being opened on Poblado Rd. (in Westwood) where the AVCO developer’s office was located. The ad hoc became so big, it took on its own life, becoming what we now know as the Friends of the RB Library. W H AT R O L E S D O I N D I V I D UA L C O M M I T T E E S P L AY I N T H E COMMUNITY?

subcommittees, each of which focuses on specific topics. We have the Public Safety Committee, which works closely with the police and fire departments as well as the City’s traffic engineering department. It deals with a variety of safety issues from parking to traffic lights/stop signs, reflectors on the streets, V-calm signs, etc. The committee holds various presentations and is also responsible for putting on our annual Safety Fair. Our Government Relations/Utilities Committee works closely with our various government representatives. This year alone, the committee has worked on the water authority rate increase, veterinary care for military K-9s, increased regulations on drones, voting via mail-in ballots only, graffiti policies, issues with short term rentals, prescription drug drop-off areas, battery drop-off areas, Palomar College issue, SDG&E pipeline down

Pomerado Rd., and more. This committee is also responsible for any forums we hold during an election year. The PR Committee focuses on any of the community-wide events we host or participate in each year, such as Chalk It Up, the watermelon eating contest, the holiday cocoa event, RB Alive, July 4th events, and the patriotic pet contest. Finally, we have the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) Committee. This committee deals with all the issues pertaining to our medians and right of ways. The council periodically forms ad hoc committees. WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE COUNCIL MEET?
The council’s full board meetings are held the first Thursday of the month, 6:30 p.m., in the large meeting room on the second floor of the Rancho Bernardo library. All meetings associated with the council are open to the public. H O W D I D YO U P E R S O N A L LY G E T I N V O LV E D I N T H E C O U N C I L ? W H A T I S YO U R C U R R E N T R O L E ?
I became involved back in 1999. I was just starting on the Recreation Council and the annual elections were taking place. At that time, the Recreation Council, Community Council, and Planning Board all worked together and had their elections at the same
time. During the process of being the representative of the Recreation Council on the election committee, I became educated on what the other two organization’s roles were in the community and decided to become involved. I am presently the president of the Rancho Bernardo Community Council, and I also chair the Public Safety Committee. W H A T A R E T H E M O S T R E WA R D I N G PA R T S O F W O R K I N G W I T H THE COUNCIL?
In a nutshell, I thoroughly enjoy giving back to the community. HOW CAN PEOPLE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COUNCIL?
We encourage everyone to visit our Facebook page as we post various information on a daily basis. For those not on Facebook, they can visit our website. We also post information on www.nextdoor.com. HOW CAN COMMUNIT Y MEMBERS G E T M O R E I N V O LV E D ?
We offer several opportunities for people to become involved with the council. If someone feels they cannot commit to being a member but they are interested in one of our subcommittees, they can become a resident member of the subcommittee. They need to abide by the rules of the committee and have an equal say and vote on any issues related to the committee. We also encourage people to volunteer during

any of our community-based events as we can always use the help. D O E S T H E C O U N C I L H AV E ANY SHOR T-TERM OR LO N G -T E R M G OA L S ?
One of the long-term goals of the council is converting more turf medians to drought-tolerant plant medians. We will also be adding three new welcome signs in the community, which should be installed by the end of the summer. Ultimately, our goals are always to do the best that we can to help serve the community and keep the quality of life that we have become accustomed to in Rancho Bernardo. I S T H E R E A N Y T H I N G YO U ’ D L I K E TO S H A R E T H AT T H E G E N E R A L PUBLIC MIGHT NOT KNOW?
Rancho Bernardo looks the way it does due to over four decades of dedication of many volunteers on the council. The council is comprised of your friends, your neighbors, your family members. Their children go to the same schools as your children. They may belong to the same congregation as you. They or their children may play in the same sports league as you. They may even work at the same place you work. Each member is volunteering their time and energy to the council due to their concerns and commitment to the community. If you feel the council is not doing something you approve of, attend the meetings, get involved, help resolve an issue. Become a member. ¢

Dreaming A B OV E PA R
Special Olympian Joshua LeClair Brings Home Gold by RANDI CANTRELL | photo by Spark Photography
F
or the past three years, 21-year-old Joshua LeClair has been dreaming of golfing in the Southern California Special Olympics Summer Games. Since that time, he has been playing on the San Diego Rancho Bernardo Aces Golf Team, created by Escondido resident Fred Rose and Rancho Bernardo residents Neal and Beverly Berkin. This year Joshua’s dream came true, and he was selected by his head coaches to play in the Regional Summer Games at CSU Long Beach. Though he started playing just a short time ago, Joshua quickly excelled in golf with guidance from his coaches, help from Special Olympics, and, of course, a lot of hard work. According to Joshua, he started out as a Level 1 beginner, learning basic skills and golf etiquette. He had no experience in the game, but was driven and motivated to learn. He advanced to Level 2 within his first year, and competed in two 2015 Special Olympics Competitions, San Diego Regional Spring Games and Inland Empire Regional Spring Games, where he finished in second place at both competitions. By year two, Joshua was already a Level 4 player, and began competing in Individual Stroke Play in 2016, where he won a bronze at the 2016 Special Olympics Spring Games in San Diego and a silver in the Inland Empire Regional Spring Games. Finally, this June, Joshua not only achieved his goal of playing in the Special Olympics Summer Games, but he won a gold medal. Joshua shared, “I was so proud and excited. It was the best day of my life!” Name: Community: Hobbies & Interests: Favorite Places in 92128:
Joshua Michael LeClair Rancho Bernardo since 2014 Aviation, music, and golf Bernardo Heights Country Club, Oaks North Golf Course, Rancho Bernardo Library
In addition to playing golf, Joshua enjoys aviation, music, watching old movies, and staying active in his community. Currently he is a member of the Kiwanis Aktion Club and the Leadership Club of Abraxas High School, where he is finishing up his final year in the Transition Program. He plans to go to College 2 Career at Miramar College in the spring of next year, and will continue competing in golf at the Special Olympics, in addition to serving as a global messenger for the program. When asked where he gets his inspiration and drive for golf, Joshua said, “My mom is the biggest inspiration in my life. She has always encouraged and supported me, even through difficult times. She is also our Special Olympics Golf Team Mom!” ¢

Transforming
Local Theater
Scripps Ranch Theatre Grows Their Strong Tradition in the San Diego Theater Community by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Ken Jacques
I
n 1978, B.J. Scott, a Scripps Ranch resident, put an ad in the paper looking for people interested in starting a local theater. The group envisioned a place for entertainment and a creative outlet, and Scripps Ranch Theatre was born. Today, almost 40 years later, Scripps Ranch Theatre (SRT) is thriving as the only professional theater along the I-15 corridor between Mission Valley and Escondido. Every season, SRT puts on five live-theater productions, including new and classic plays, musicals, comedies, and dramatic works. The performances are held in the Legler Benbough Theatre at Alliant International University. “The performance space is a 118-seat capacity
“Through these partnerships, we present one-act plays to hundreds of students in the region.”
theater that is very intimate; every audience member is in close proximity to the stage and actors, which gives the illusion of being part of the production,” explained Caitlyn McTaggart, SRT Development Director. In 2006, SRT transitioned from a community theater to a professional theater. Since that time, SRT has increased the season to five productions and added the new play festival, Out on a Limb, which features new one-act plays written by local aspiring playwrights. In the past two years, SRT has launched New Works Studio, a “nine-month innovative program that provides a constructive, supportive environment in which emerging and established playwrights are able to develop new work,” Caitlyn said. SRT has also increased community outreach over the last two years, tripling the number of schools the organization reaches. “Through these partnerships, we present one-act plays to hundreds of students throughout San Diego County. Many of the students we reach have never experienced live theater, so it is a very special opportunity for them that they otherwise would not have access to,” Caitlyn

shared. Each performance includes a talk-back session where students can ask questions of the actors, directors, and playwrights. Most recently, SRT has coordinated with the YMCA to offer a one-week summer camp every July and plans to launch a six-week children’s theater program this fall. The transformational work of SRT, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is made possible through private donations and volunteers. “Being part of an all-volunteerrun organization that has never been in debt, where so many people are committed to its success, is both rewarding and inspiring,” Caitlyn said. “SRT is on the brink of tremendous growth and always looking for more contributors and passionate volunteers to join us in providing high-quality theater to the San Diego community!” Looking ahead, SRT’s primary goal is to secure a new space that will accommodate a larger-capacity theater that offers the same intimate setting as the current theater but with additional amenities critical to any performance venue, such as space for dressing rooms, set-building, and a box office. Any suggestions for potential spaces should be sent to SRT directly. ¢ SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Honoring RB
2017 HONORARY MAYOR CAMPAIGNS CONTINUE
S
ince 1991, Rancho Bernardo has elected an honorary mayor to preside at local events such as Savour RB, the Christmas Tree and Menorah Lighting, and ribbon cuttings. Elections are held each year from June through October with the support of the Rancho Bernardo Business Association (RBBA). Candidates typically hold campaign parties which often include opportunity drawings and live and silent auctions. Votes are $5 and can be purchased from the candidates or their campaign staff. The candidate who receives the most votes is inaugurated at the RBBA reception in November. Runners up serve as deputy mayors. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the mayoral contest is donated to nonprofit organizations in Rancho Bernardo. The candidates this year are Alex Lawn and Tracey van Putten. ¢
Alex Lawn Alex is a lifelong resident of Rancho Bernardo and very active in the community. He serves as the co-chairman of the Save Webb Lake project, as a member of the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo, as a volunteer with the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation, and as the youngest member of the RBBA Board of Directors. He was the recipient of the Outstanding Volunteer award at the RBBA’s 2017 Hats Off to Volunteers event and is also the co-owner of Greenway Lawn and Landscape along with his father and the 2012-2013 Honorary Mayor, Scott Lawn. Alex will be holding his main campaign event on Aug. 28 at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public for a $25 donation per person, which includes six raffle tickets for the opportunity drawing.
Tracey van Putten Tracey is a loan officer with Skyline Home Loans in RB, dedicated to helping her clients realize their dreams of homeownership in the local community. She is also involved in many other areas of the community, serving as the membership chair on the RBBA Board of Directors, as co-chair of the fundraising committee on the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club Board of Directors, as a member of networking group North County Referrals, and as a longtime member of the Church at Rancho Bernardo. Tracey is active with local real estate boards, and formerly served as treasurer for the Rancho Bernardo Toastmasters.

Real Estate in Depth – A Podcast! by SCOTT VOAK
Y
ears ago, after appearing on a financial news radio show, I launched a radio show of my own. It was called Real Estate Matters and lasted for about two years, first as 30 minutes daily and then as an hour weekly. The focus quickly turned to investments, and I ended up working with several listeners and getting them into small multi-family investments here in San Diego. I quickly learned that since real estate is a slow-moving beast, it is very difficult to keep interesting once you have run through the basic topics. While other real estate radio show hosts tried to go the direction of real estate/political talk show, I didn’t think San Diego needed another political talk show host and I went back to my main skills – marketing houses and helping investors. However, there are topics that come up repeatedly that I don’t think get addressed well. So, early this year I launched a podcast to address some topics that I find important or interesting that have to do with real estate (I promise, no political analysis unless it has to do with real estate values!). The name Real Estate Matters was taken by an agent in the Midwest who had done three shows, so we chose Real Estate Mondays. To date, we have published several episodes with more that are recorded and ready to go. Topics have included:
