Independence in a Modern World
D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT
Jessica Breaux ASSO C IAT E E DI TO R S
T
hings were different when I was growing up. Kids didn’t have cell phones. Video games were barely becoming a thing. There was no Netflix or DVR. You had to plan ahead to watch your favorite shows. Independence came in the form of two wheels. I rode my bike everywhere. I knew the streets and the shortcuts in my neighborhood better than my parents did. There were days that I would be gone exploring the open roads until dark. I didn’t need to be constantly entertained, and I certainly wasn’t connected to all my friends wirelessly. Life was slower. It was a simpler time. I’m sure there were things that we did that would raise an eyebrow or two, but we made it through the coming of age. Times have changed. Gone are the days of innocence and independence in our youth. Teens and preteens are constantly glued to their smart phones. Things move fast. Group text messages, Instagram, Snapchat, and who knows what other apps are now consuming the majority of their time. They can even watch TV on their phones! I had a 13-inch black-and-white TV in my bedroom when I was a kid. And it only had 12 channels (three of which would catch a station). Just when I thought that all hope was lost for our kids and their desire (or lack of desire) to achieve independence, my son and a couple of his close buddies surprised me the other day. With permission, they took it upon themselves to jump on their bikes (after pumping up the tires due to lack of use) and explore the neighborhood. Of course, I did what any SoCal father would do in that situation – I tracked most of their impromptu journey with the help of the Share My Location family feature on my phone – but they didn’t know that. Derrick Breaux I was proud of them. They had a blast exploring the local Publisher area. They even decided to hide their bikes behind some bushes and hike the local hills. As a father, this made me cringe. But the kid in me felt this was awesome. The thought of this brought me back to my childhood. I wish I could have been invisibly hovering over them listening to their conversations. What were they talking about? They came back that evening with tons of stories. My wife and I listened with undivided attention. They giggled. We all laughed. We pushed for more stories. They ran into friends along the way. They encountered hills that were too steep to pedal. There were daring stories of climbing rocks, walking on trails that were deadly (at least in their mind – and that’s all that matters). For a moment, perhaps for just part of a day, my son experienced the type of independence that I had growing up. I am now confident that he will find his own hybrid form of independence in this modern world.
All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

COMPASSIONATE HEART FIRST GRADER MIKHAIL LAILA PROVES THAT IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START GIVING BACK by JENNIFER FRAKES
A
t the tender age of six and a half years old, Mikhail Laila has made quite a difference in the local community and across the globe. He recently received a certificate from the California Senate for Outstanding Community Service. “I received this certificate for a supply drive organized to benefit the Helen Woodward Animal Center,” explained Mikhail. He is also involved in many other charitable causes, including raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by hosting a bake sale; collecting gently used Halloween costumes for Second Families, an organization that helps refugee families assimilate to American life; and collecting toys for Toys for Tots through a drive organized by Tomorrow’s Heroes Today, a group that Mikhail volunteers with regularly. “I also raised more than $1,000 by doing a read-a-thon to sponsor the education of eight girls in India for three years. I often work alongside my mom to help others too. I recently helped her sort baby clothes for Gently Hugged, an organization that donates clothes to babies in need,” stated Mikhail, who cites his mother as his inspiration for charitable giving. Mikhail and his family moved from Philadelphia to the Carmel Mountain area in 2016. He is a first grader at Highland Ranch Elementary School where he enjoys math, solving problems, and being with his friends and teachers. “I play soccer and tennis, and I also swim. I enjoy soccer the most, though,” revealed Mikhail. He also loves spending time with his dad, hiking with his family, drawing, and making Lego scenes. Like many first graders, Mikhail is obsessed with Star Wars and telling bad jokes. When Mikhail grows up, he wants to be a police officer. “I want to help my community and help people everywhere,” said Mikhail proudly. He has already done so much to help others, there is no doubt that this caring young man will achieve his dreams.

THREE-IN-ONE THE CORK AND CRAFT IS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF BREWERY, WINERY, AND CASUAL FINE DINING by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos provided by The Cork and Craft
T
he Cork and Craft is a unique concept where an in-house brewery and winery share space with a restaurant known for signature dishes such as bacon-wrapped tenderloin and maple leaf duck breast. The Cork and Craft produces beer and wine that is served onsite as well as around the globe. The restaurant is a natural evolution from a small urban winery that opened in 2012. “We began with small pop-up dinners out of our small space and then expanded to offer a full restaurant when the space next door became available. We wanted to provide a dining experience unlike any other you’d expect with a winery/brewery,” revealed Cassie Valenciano, Director of Communications. “Tasting wine or beer alone is one experience, but enjoying them alongside various dishes and experiencing various pairings is the other side of the coin that you can’t get at many other places.” Located in a business park in Rancho Bernardo, many are surprised at the warmth and relaxing vibe they feel when walking through the doors of The Cork and Craft. The atmosphere is one of casual fine dining. “Our restaurant has an industrial feel with the exposed brick walls and light fixtures. Our open-faced kitchen is viewable from the dining room, creating an inviting and welcoming ambiance,” explained Valenciano. When it comes to the beer offerings at The Cork and Craft, there is a core selection which is available for guests year-round. The Cork and Craft also features special releases, such as their first barrel-aged series that they released this year. “We used a stout base beer and filled Pappy Van Winkle barrels that were over 20 years old with that base beer. They’ve been soaking and aging for two years and we released them in a four different bottles to represent each barrel. These bottles are very special and limited, and we hope everyone enjoys them with good company,” stated Valenciano. For those who want an exclusive dining adventure, executive chef Scott Cannon will design a 4- to 10-course tasting created around the unique preferences of the guests. “This is called the Abnormal Experience and is one of our newest offerings,” said Valenciano. As The Cork and Craft has evolved, the brewery/winery/restaurant has been recognized as a must-visit spot in San Diego. In 2016, The Cork and Craft earned the 2016 Business of the Year award for the North San Diego Business Chamber, and owner and CEO Matt De Loach was recognized as one of the top 40 under-40 CEOs in San Diego.

Choosing the Right Primary Care Physician (pcp)
N
ow is the time of year when many people are deciding who will be their Primary Care Physician, or PCP. Most health insurance plans require a person to appoint a PCP—usually a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO)—to oversee their overall health and wellness needs. The three main categories of PCPs include: ✔ Family Physicians:Trained to treat patients of all ages ✔ Pediatricians: Specialists in the medical needs of
babies, children and adolescents
✔ Internists: Focused on the needs of adults.
Think of your PCP as your advocate in the healthcare system. Except in the case of an emergency, your PCP is generally your initial point of contact for your healthcare needs. He/she will 1) diagnose and treat common conditions; 2) educate you on making healthy lifestyle changes and other preventive measures;
3) assess urgent problems and direct you to appropriate care; 4) coordinate the referral process if you need to see a specialist. Many people have a long-term relationship with their PCP and refer to their PCP as “my doctor” or “our family physician.” Having a doctor-patient relationship built on trust and confidence is one of the keys to receiving quality health care. As you’re looking at different doctors in your health insurance provider directory, think about what you want in a health partnership. Does the doctor’s office need to be close to work or home? Can you make early morning, evening or weekend appointments? Do you need a doctor who speaks a language other than English? Would you prefer someone who is similar in age or of the same gender? For quality care, make sure you choose the right PCP for your unique healthcare needs.

COMMUNITY STUFF
Operation Dress Code Poway Unified School District (PUSD) staff recently participated in Operation Dress Code. Operation Dress Code helps women make the transition from military to civilian life, with the specific goal of helping them get ready for the civilian workforce. The event includes free shopping through donated clothing and accessories, along with resume reviews, interview tips, professional hair and makeup, and headshots. PUSD staff collected clothing donations at the Career Technical Adult and Alternative Education (CTAAE) programs office. “The clothing donation just felt like an extension of what we already do to help our community,” said Career Education Specialist Denise McAndrews. Operation Dress Code was brought to San Diego in partnership with Courage to Call, a local organization that provides a free, confidential, veteran-staffed helpline. Learn more at www.thedresscodeca.com and www.courage2call.org.
RB Honorary Mayor Local residents Alex Lawn and Tracey van Putten both volunteered to run for this year’s Rancho Bernardo Business Association (RBBA) RB Honorary Mayor title. After a hard-fought battle, Alex came out on top as RB Honorary Mayor and Tracey in second as Deputy RB Honorary Mayor. The honorary mayor represents the RBBA and the community at all local events. As deputy mayor, Tracey will be available to join Alex or fill in for him at functions he may be unable to attend. During the campaign, Alex and Tracey raised over $50,000 combined – a record-breaking total – that will be distributed to a number of local organizations, including Rancho Bernardo High School, Miss RB Scholarship, Rancho Bernardo Historical Society, Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation, Ed Brown Center, and the RBBA. At age 25, Alex is the youngest Honorary Mayor yet. He is the son of Scott Lawn, who was the RB Honorary Mayor in 2013-14. They are the first father and son RB Honorary Mayors.
Students Feed San Diego Students and staff from Country Montessori School spent an evening volunteering at Feeding San Diego. The students organized donated oranges, while the adult Starbucks leftovers and other produce destined to be delivered to schools the next day. The students put together 197 orange bags in under two hours. “When I went to help Feeding San Diego, it made me feel thankful for everything I have,” shared second-level student Adri Rayburn. “I liked volunteering because I was saving people and kids from hunger. It made me feel excited that people can eat because of what I did.” There are approximately 400,000 food-insecure people in San Diego. Every dollar donated to Feeding San Diego provides four meals to someone in need, and the organization provides more than 21 million meals to children, families, and seniors each year.

New Primary Care Physicians at Scripps Clinic Two new primary care physicians have recently joined Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo, which serves 4S Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch, Carmel Mountain, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and Rancho Peñasquitos. Lon Manson, M.D., focuses on disease prevention and lifestyle changes, and provides care for all ages. He earned his medical degree at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine and completed his residency at UC San Diego Health. Jasmine Ide, M.D., provides comprehensive care for adults. Her focus is in prevention and lifestyle changes for weight loss and diabetes prevention. She earned her medical degree at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and completed her residency at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Schubert’s Trout One of the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras, Franz Schubert, will be celebrated at a special Discovery Concert Series performance at the Rancho Bernardo Library. The free performance at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10 will include Schubert poetry, singers performing his art songs, and chamber music. The performance will be in the second-floor library community room. The concert will include readings of the poem, which Schubert set to music in one of his more than 600 songs or lieder. Singers from the studio of Ines Irawati will present “Die Forelle” and other Schubert lieder to demonstrate the style of the art song. Finally, a quintet gathered from the area chamber music scene will play Schubert’s entire Piano Quintet, op. 111. The quintet consists of a piano (Bob Hart), violin (Wendy Loeb), viola (Clara Oberle), cello (Millie Boaz), and bass (Park Carmon). The Discovery Concerts serve to educate the public about various music forms and to expand the opportunity for local musicians to perform. All ages are welcome.
Scouts Ballet Day Southern California Ballet recently hosted a fun, unique event for local Girl Scouts. Titled Dance The Nutcracker in a Day, the event offered just that: a single afternoon introduction to The Nutcracker, choreography instruction, and a final performance. Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts from eight local troops attended the event, earning a ballet patch along the way. The afternoon started with a reading of The Nutcracker story, followed by a presentation about ballet and the creation of The Nutcracker ballet. Girls got a tour of the Southern California Ballet Studios, including costumes, props, and scenery. After a snack and craft break, they warmed up, learned the dances, and got ready to perform for their parents and guests. The event was made possible by a grant from the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. Learn more at www.sdfoundation.org.

lite Pediatric Dentistry was the first pediatric dental practice in 4S Ranch and has been providing dental care to children in the community for over five years now. Under the care of Dr. Femme Ambrosio and her team, the practice strives to provide extraordinary care for every patient, every day. “The practice has grown considerably since I first started,” said Dr. Ambrosio. “Our team is committed to improving, maintaining,

and growing ourselves for the benefit of the children we see.” According to Dr. Ambrosio, a boardcertified pediatric dentist, having a boutique practice allows her the time necessary to ensure that children and parents have a positive experience and the best possible care. The office encourages open communication and takes the time to explain prevention plans, treatment, and procedure options and finances. Dr. Ambrosio understands that each child is unique and must be treated as such. “These visits can

be overwhelming and we hope that getting to know each child individually will help in their overall care.” It is the friendly and compassionate team at Elite Pediatric Dentistry that truly sets the practice apart. Dr. Ambrosio has worked in various pediatric dental offices throughout the country and learned a great deal from each experience. When she decided to open her own practice, she and her team not only had the knowledge but also the skill set and personality to provide for their patients. “From the moment a

Dr. Ambrosio is a native San Diegan, wife, and mother, all of which she feels serve her well in her practice. Dr. Ambrosio is a mother to Bennett (7), Amelie (6), and Camdyn (4). “It has always been a goal of mine to not only support the oral health of our patients, but to also be a part of the community our children grow up in,” explained Dr. Ambrosio. “We play active roles in the surrounding schools, sponsoring events that help provide greater opportunities for students.” The staff at Elite Pediatric Dentistry looks forward to being a part of the community, your family, and watching your child grow.

“It’s something I personally enjoy–giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.”
WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THE RBHS ROLLER HOCKEY TEAM?
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITH THE TEAM?
To provide a way for the student athletes to represent their school while playing a sport they enjoy.
I am the head coach of the program. This is my fourth year as varsity head coach and fifth year in the program.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM, AND HOW HAS IT EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS? There is a strong hockey history for RBHS going back over 15 years now. We’ve been lucky enough to field both JV and varsity teams every season. We look forward to growing our club with new players – whether you have experience in playing or not, our coaching staff is always willing and able to help players at all skill levels!
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE SPORT, AND WHAT LED YOU TO YOUR CURRENT ROLE? I grew up playing hockey in San Diego at the age of nine and was lucky to be coached by such great coaches. Growing up, I always helped run the “learn to skate” clinics at the Escondido Sports Center, and that made me branch out into team coaching. It’s something I personally enjoy – giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
32 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2018
HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE ON THE TEAM? WHAT IS THE TRYOUT PROCESS LIKE, AND WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Currently we have seven players and two goalies at the varsity level. For our JV club, we have eight players. Our tryout process begins in November for three days. Tryouts consist of quick individual drills, some conditioning, and team play. We’re looking for skill, effort, and a good sense for teamwork. We don’t make cuts to the program, and everyone has a spot to play as long as they put forward their best effort. WHEN DOES THE SEASON BEGIN AND END? Our regular season starts end of November and goes until the beginning of March.
CAN YOU SHARE ANY HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR’S SEASON? We had a great regular season last year. We ended up with an overall record of 20-2. Made it to the championship game, where we came up short in overtime losing 3-2. Great game. Our athletes played very hard. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO AS THE 2017-2018 SEASON CONTINUES? Looking forward to our varsity team melding together as a unit and our JV players challenging themselves to become the best players they can be.
WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT ABOUT COACHING? THE MOST CHALLENGING? Seeing the athletes have fun while learning is something very special to me. We preach fun in our program. If the athletes aren’t having fun it’s not worth it in my opinion. The biggest challenge is keeping up our numbers as a club. We’re always looking to add more players so we can continue to grow. TELL US ABOUT THE SUPPORT YOU RECEIVE FROM PARENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND THE COMMUNITY. HOW CAN PARENTS OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS GET INVOLVED? Lucky for us, we have the absolute best parents in the club. Very supportive of the athletes. Getting them to games and practices on time. We’re always looking for ways to fundraise for the club. We are selffunded, so if anyone is looking to help out, please reach out to us! WHAT ARE YOUR SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS FOR THE PROGRAM? Every season, we’re looking to win with our individual teams, but we’re also looking to grow on and off the rink. Each one of our athletes has their own goals they look to achieve while maintaining and keeping up with schoolwork. Long-term, we want the program to grow student athlete-wise. The more athletes we have, the better. TELL US ABOUT THE COACHING STAFF AND THE TYPE OF EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS THAT THEY BRING TO THE TABLE. Coach Tom is another player who grew up in San Diego playing highlevel hockey. He brings to the table goaltender knowledge, as that was his position. We are lucky to have someone who can train goaltenders the way he does. WHAT RECOGNITION HAS THE TEAM GARNERED OVER THE YEARS? RB is known in the hockey community as a team that’s always in contention for the championship. Through the years, we have built a program with numerous championships, league titles, and individual player recognition. Our most recent championship was in the 2014-15 season, and our most recent league title was last year. HOW DO YOU STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF ACADEMICS TO THE STUDENT ATHLETES? All of our student athletes know that school always comes before hockey. We stress the importance of good grades and how important it is to their future. Our athletes do take their grades seriously. Last year, our club average GPA was 3.6. January | February 2018 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • 33
Abraxas Garden Project
ROTARY CLUB DONATES FRUIT TREES TO POWAY SCHOOL photos by James R. Kaspar
L
ast month, over 30 members of the Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club attended the dedication of the new Abraxas Orchard in the school’s Community Garden. Rancho Bernardo Rotary recently donated 14 fruit trees to the garden. Abraxas Principal Alain Henry welcomed Rotary Club members, students, and staff to the event, explaining Abraxas’ commitment to providing personalized educational experiences for all of its students. “The donation of these trees and the expansion of the Community Garden is a perfect example of the non-traditional, cross-discipline experience that we value here at Abraxas,” Henry explained. “The orchard will expand the amount and types of produce our students grow and donate to the community.” Rotary President Michael Fuqua thanked Abraxas students and staff for their planning and labor – especially their digging the holes
for the trees. Fuqua noted, “This project exemplifies Rotary International’s Making a Difference initiative where every Rotarian, worldwide – all 1.2 million of us – will plant a tree in our communities this year. We are excited to kick off this initiative with Abraxas High’s Garden Project.” Ten student speakers explained the history of the Community Garden to the audience. Abraxas teachers Bob Lutticken and Robert Saxton have led the work in
34 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2018
the Community Garden since its inception in 2015. Lutticken brought a special family connection to the dedication ceremony, as his mother Judy is an active member of the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo. Rotarian Joe Max, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After the trees were planted, Abraxas Leadership students and their teacher, Carole De Bruin, conducted tours of the garden.

With an overall mission to educate and care for young children in an age-appropriate, high-quality environment, Wee Care has now expanded to a total of three schools, including the newest in 4S Ranch. “Our 4S location was added in July of last year, and we feel it’s truly one of the highest quality preschool facilities in all of San Diego,” said President Darla Suder, a 26-year veteran of the organization. “The building is modern and spacious, and the children have a lot of space to learn and play. The classrooms are large and feature skylights, which allows for a lot of natural light to come into the rooms.” The schools serve children 18 months to 5 years of age (plus infant care in the near future), and parents can try Wee Care for 25% off the already-low rates for the first three months. With flexible schedules including half or full days, and options to attend between two and five days per week, along with extended hours of operation, Wee Care strives to accommodate every parent’s schedule and childcare needs. Wee Care serves breakfast, lunch, and snacks so parents never have to
worry about packing or paying extra for meals. Enrichment classes including sports, dance, and gymnastics. These classes join an alreadyextensive curriculum designed to foster a ‘whole child’ philosophy, in which children learn to interact and get along with others through playtime, while at the same time learning those important academic skills appropriate to their specific age group. Wee Care Preschools have a relaxed and happy atmosphere. “The children play outdoors and learn vital social skills while enjoying making art projects, singing, and reading during circle time with their friends and teachers,” Darla explained. “All of our staff members are background checked, have CPR/First Aid certifications, and have been educated in the field of early childhood education.” High-quality education, flexible days and hours, affordable prices, and parental convenience and peace of mind are the top tenets of a Wee Care experience. Open from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., children arrive in the morning to be greeted by their teachers and provided their morning meal. Then, in the classroom, they explore a wide range of learning experiences, including math, science, literature, sensory experience, dramatic play, music, dance, and different

languages. Healthy snacks and nutritious lunches are provided throughout the day. With a continuous goal of ensuring the finest, safest, and most fun experience for your children, look no further than Wee Care Preschool.

Rising to the Challenge
LOCAL BUSINESS VOLUNTEERS AT CAF TRIATHLON
S
taff members from local Asis Physical Therapy volunteered at a recent event in support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). The 24th Annual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC), held in La Jolla, brought 200 physically challenged athletes, 550 able-bodied athletes, celebrities, and professional triathletes together for a onemile swim, 44-mile bike ride, and 10-mile run. “The event was centered around athletes who had physical disabilities, many of whom had lost a limb or experienced physical trauma,” explained Melodie Nungesser, Clinic Manager at Asis Physical Therapy. The Asis
team was stationed to cheer on the athletes during the bike and run sections of the race. “We supported the athletes during the toughest parts of the course,” Melodie said. “We were fortunate to have the chance to cheer on, motivate, high five, and push the athletes of all ages! The passion and enthusiasm shined through in the staff of Asis as they mirrored the
Call For a Tour! Ages 2.5 - 11
enthusiasm reflected by the drive of the athletes.” Volunteering for the SDTC made a tremendous impact on the Asis team. “We are no stranger to disabilities – every day at Asis Physical Therapy, we help those with different levels of abilities pursue their various goals,” Melodie explained. “At the CAF triathlon, we were able to watch dreams in the making.” The Challenged Athletes Foundation’s mission is to provide opportunities for people with physical challenges to pursue active lifestyles and competitive athletics. Programs include camps and clinics, grants, military outreach, and community education. Learn more at www.challengedathletes.org.

BRONCO INSIDER
by EMMA ROOHOLFADA special to 92128 Magazine
The RB Experience
T
his year, the RB High community has been imposed with a massive question – what does it mean to be a Bronco? To answer this question, the administration has joined forces with students, staff, and parents to develop a clear idea of what it means to be a part of the RB High community, a phenomenon known as the RB Experience. Throughout the year, they have reached out to individuals to collect feedback on what they think the current RB Experience entails, and what they feel it should include, which they will use to form one cohesive definition. “It’s interesting when you go to work for certain corporations, they tend to have a clearly defined vision, and then they measure their practices against that vision,” Principal David LeMaster said. “We want to create that clear vision so that we know why we’re doing this. Then everything else becomes the ‘how’ and the ‘what.’” The discussion of the RB Experience is already prevalent from the increase in parent volunteers on campus and teacher attendance

rties |
at school events. Additionally, many different student groups have helped produce spirit-building events, such as kick-off parties before football games and pep-rallies, in hopes that all students would feel connected to the RB High community. “It’s an exciting time because we get to talk about the big picture – who we are as a school, what we believe, what our core values are, and what we think our students, staff, and parents should expect when they come here,” LeMaster said. As members of RB High continue to collaborate to establish a single, cohesive definition of the RB Experience, the sense of belonging will continue to grow, and hopefully, attract people from other areas who will expand the tight-knit community.

OF THE DOG Join in the Lunar New Year Festivities by SAMANTHA EDWARDS
T
he ancient lunisolar calendar – which is governed by both the moon phase and the time of the solar year – has been used by many cultures for centuries. Holidays in the lunisolar calendar are marked by astronomical phenomena and often vary in the exact date each year. Chinese New Year, for example, occurs in congruence with the start of the new moon, which falls between late January and late February. Many other East Asian countries that follow a lunisolar calendar celebrate the New Year on the same day. These celebrations are rooted in cultural tradition, each with its own character and customs that are still widely observed today. In fact, communities across the world – San Diego included! – celebrate the lunisolar New Year with major festivals, parades, music, fireworks, food, and traditional decorations. Check out one of these local events for a wonderfully festive New Year’s experience!

Predicting 2018
by SCOTT VOAK
U
sually, predicting the coming year’s real estate market is not very challenging, as real estate tends to move slowly and the beginnings of trends are pretty easy to spot if you know what to look for and you have a little experience. This year, I have to admit to being a little less certain of what we will see in 2018. There are things I expect to happen that I know will affect the market, things I expect to happen but I don’t know if they will affect the market, and then things that I have no way of knowing will happen or not. First of all, the Fed has telegraphed multiple rate hikes and a continuation/expansion of Quantitative Tightening. The rising interest rates will continue to stifle the move-up market, making it harder for people to afford a larger home. QT may pull investment dollars out of the stock market and cause a bit of a drop there, which could affect the amount of money people have for a down payment. I think that the combination will lead to a reduction in the number of home sales, but will not affect the price much as the two actions offset each other. I expect that we will see a new tax law (it hasn’t been passed at this writing), but until it becomes law, it’s hard to know what will actually be in it – although since both the federal and state governments continue to increase the benefits they try to provide, they also need to increase revenue – and homeowners seem to be in the target sites right now.
Other things that could have an effect one way or another are: Brexit and potential further fragmenting of the European Union, an escalation with North Korea or in the Middle East, Broadcom’s hostile bid for Qualcomm, and an unraveling of the current administration. Any of these are possible and none would appear to be good for local real estate, but they wouldn’t necessarily be significantly negative. The biggest issue I see coming is the pension situation and how that affects taxation down the road, but I don’t think we will deal with that in California for at least another five years. So, I think what we will see in 2018 is another 6-10% appreciation with 5-10% fewer transactions. Rents will rise also and we are likely to start hearing more about rent control. I will continue working with my investor clients to transfer their real estate investments out of state for better returns.
