FROM THE PUBLISHER VOL. 8, NO. 1 TM

Football Is Beyond Play

started playing football in the seventh grade and played throughout high school. I was lucky enough to be part of an incredible team that won CIF two years in a row and nearly pulled off a three-peat. I was primarily a blocking running back, but I saw a lot of action on the field, including my fair share of touches, yardage, and end zones. Although it’s probably not something that I should brag about, there was a time during those years that I thought the true purpose of going to high school was to play football. Needless to say, I’ve spent the last 26 years working on getting my priorities straight. Back in 2004 when Jessica and I found out that we were having a boy, I admit that I spent some time daydreaming about how our son was going to play football. Well, fast forward 12 or 13 years, and Peyton had never even expressed an ounce of interest in football. In fact, he had been fully engaged in sports like soccer and baseball since he was four. So, it came as a surprise this past spring when Peyton let us know that he wanted to try out for the Del Norte High School freshman football team. Although very athletic and known for his speed, this was a kid that had rarely watched football on TV, much less played it. I didn’t even think he liked football. Nevertheless, I was all for it, but he had to work on convincing his mom. She eventually came around to the idea. Besides the obvious, there’s something about football that is different from all other sports – especially when it comes to the team camaraderie. Throughout the summer practices and two-a-days, it was interesting to watch Peyton transition. Not only did he seem more mature and responsible, but he would tell me how much he loved the structure of how football practices are conducted. Instead of us – his parents – having to remind him to be ready for practice, all of a sudden he was the one urging us to take him to the school early. Other than the nearly unbearable “football” smell on the rides home from practice, his new sense of responsibility was incredible! The boys on Del Norte’s freshman football team have all worked very hard to get up to speed. For many of them, this is also their first season playing football. And although they have won a couple of games and lost a couple of games, they have demonstrated discipline and played their hearts out as a team each game until the final whistle. I’m not sure what’s in store for the next few years with my son playing football, but I’m certainly grateful that I’ve been able to sit in the stands and watch him grow as a person and put his heart and soul into a sport that meant so much to me growing up. Unless you’ve played it, there’s just something about football that is hard to explain. The buildup, the anticipation, the planning and execution of plays, the teamwork, the accomplishment, and even the physicality – it all has a way of getting inside of you and never leaving. Peyton, if you are reading this, thank you for being the student athlete that you are. Thank you for striving to be the best that you can be. And thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch, share, and participate in your high school journey. Every step of the way has a purpose. Be sure to take the time to reflect, appreciate, and process it.

or Isha Pasumarthi, there is nothing more rewarding than making children in the hospital smile. “Comics for a Cure is an organization that aims to combine superheroes with philanthropy. We believe in the ability of something small to make a huge difference. We’ve donated toys, books, and comics to brighten children’s stays at Rady Children’s Hospital,” revealed Isha, a Del Norte High School student and Carmel Mountain Ranch resident. According to her, the most rewarding aspect of Comics for a Cure is the positive impact the organization is having on children who are going through incredibly difficult times. Comics for a Cure has also performed community outreach through STEM-related crafts programs at the 4S Ranch Library. The purpose of these programs is to help kids explore careers in health care. The group also has plans for club members to dress up as superheroes and entertain children at Ronald McDonald House. Currently, Comics for a Cure is a club at Del Norte High School, however, Isha would love to see the organization at other local high schools and middle schools. “By visiting our website, www.comicsforacure.org, you

can find more information about starting a chapter at another school. Or if you’re a Del Norte student, you can find out how to volunteer. There’s also a link to our GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to donate and help make a child’s hospital stay a little more super,” stated Isha. Isha’s involvement in Comics for a Cure is only one example of her passion for health care and helping others. At Del Norte, her favorite subject is science, specifically medicine, which she has been able to explore through the biomedical science pathway. She is the president of the school’s chapter of HOSA-Future Health Professionals, an organization whose mission is to promote career opportunities in the health care industry and enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. Isha also volunteers at Scripps Clinic and is a Pathmaker intern at Pomerado Hospital. When Isha is not at school or volunteering, she enjoys Tae Kwon Do and spending time with her friends and family. According to Isha, her parents are incredibly supportive of all of her endeavors, and her younger brother is always there to make her laugh. “I’m so thankful for my family and how they encourage me to chase my dreams,” related Isha. 

DINING PROFILE

TONY PEPPERONI PIZZERIA: DELICIOUS FOOD AND FUN ATMOSPHERE by BECCA BARR

Favorite Flavors W

hen diners eat at Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria, they get more than a delicious meal. They get an enjoyable atmosphere, attentive staff, and a restaurant that loves giving back to the community. Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria has been in business for more than 20 years, and now has three California locations. The newest restaurant, in Rancho Bernardo, opened in March of this year. Of course, delectable food is on the menu. Owner Joe Locricchio opened his first pizza shop in Michigan when he was 18 years old. Restaurants were a huge part of his life; his father owned a few, and his grandfather ran a produce distribution company straight out of Sicily. “We use Joe’s grandmother’s pasta sauce recipe for all of our pastas! It has been handed down from generation to generation and it is amazing!” said General Manager Sarah Dean. Their food is also unique due to their flavored crusts, including butter, butter-cheese, garlic, Cajun, and sesame seed. “Everyone’s favorite is to mix garlic and butter-cheese together,” revealed Sarah. One customer favorite is their Teena Pizza, named

Name of Business: Owner: General Manager: Years in Position: Years in Business:

after Joe’s wife. It has an olive oil base, with mozzarella, chicken, red onion, and cilantro on a thin butter-cheese and garlic crust. “What sets us apart atmosphere-wise is that it’s a great mixture of family restaurant and sports bar. Tony Pepperoni has games for kids, and also tons of TVs where we get every sports package,” said Sarah. “We have a really large location where we can host team parties, retirement parties, or any kind of party for up to 100 people!” They have a wide beer selection, many in bottles and 12 on tap. They also take requests; if many customers are asking for a certain beer, they will try to get it. Giving back is important to the staff. Not only do they sponsor local teams and work with schools and churches, but they have their own non profit, The Betty Fund. This fund helps find homes for the elderly homeless. “As of right now we have placed four elderly, disabled, homeless women into apartments. Through our restaurants we do fundraisers and help raise the money to pay these ladies’ rent,” shared Sarah. “Life is all about helping and encouraging people and we make sure to do that through our restaurant.” 

NEW SOROPTIMIST OFFICERS LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE photo by Jen Z Photography

oroptimist International of North San Diego (SINSD) recently installed its new officers for the 2018-2019 year. The leadership team is President Ginny Brown, President-Elect Arlene Cawthorne, Treasurer Karon Samson, VP of Membership Pam Warnock and Liz Bartoli, Delegates Barbara Bertran and Pat Hamilton, Recording Secretary Sue DeVicariis, and Corresponding Secretary Michele Mason. Ginny has been a member of SINSD since 2013, when it was still called Soroptimist International of Rancho Bernardo. The name has since changed to better reflect the club’s membership, which extends through 4S Ranch, Escondido, and Temecula. What hasn’t changed is the mission that drew Ginny to the group: women helping women. The club was also an opportunity to build connections with her new community after she and her husband moved from Syracuse, NY to be closer to their children. As president, Ginny looks forward to promoting membership

participation and community impact through SINSD programs. SINSD’s Live Your Dream scholarship program supports low-income women continuing their education, and Leap to Success supports women rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. SINSD also supports the Palomar Forensic Health Department, Palomar Health Lifeline, and the Transitional Housing Program in partnership with Soroptimist International of Poway. Dream It, Be It is an educational program for at-risk high school girls. Club members lead classes for groups of 10 to 15 girls, with a focus on personalized career support. In addition to teaching general career preparedness, they mentor girls according to their personal career goals. SINSD has run the program at Westview High School and Rancho Bernardo High School, and Ginny hopes to bring the program to more schools this year. Learn more at www.soroptimistnsd.org. 

A NEW FORCE to be reckoned with MEET THE SAN DIEGO FORCE COACHES Coach at San Diego Force FC // OCAMPO BROTHERS Bringing the Force of Club and High School Soccer Together After six years of working in the 4S Ranch community, the Ocampo brothers have helped to develop a club soccer culture at the Force FC that is rich with community spirit. Adrian and Jose Ocampo grew up on the streets playing soccer and spending all of their family time watching their dad play at one soccer field or another. Today, they bring that simple, passionate love for the sport to the club level and hope to continue the Nighthawk winning tradition by entering the high school soccer realm. Together, the Ocampo Brothers have shared decades of success at the State, Regional, and National level and have developed top talent on the girls’ side of the sport. The Nighthawks ladies soccer program will offer another opportunity for them to brand their style of play and continue to service the community with nights of enjoyable soccer for families to watch and follow, just like the brothers’ upbringing.

Generosity GROWING

The Backyard Produce Project Helps Our Neighborhoods Give Back photos by Alex Williams Photography

28 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

he Backyard Produce Project (BPP) began

as a simple solution to two problems: unused

fruits and vegetables in residential yards, and local families and seniors without enough healthy food on the table. Since its establishment in 2009, the grassroots nonprofit has grown in scope and impact to serve even more communities. The Backyard Produce Project now has five donation sites, a 6,000-square-foot garden and orchard, and over 100 dedicated volunteers. We spoke with Chairman Jane Radatz to learn more.

Q&A with

Jane Radatz Project Chairman

What is the Backyard Produce Project’s mission? How does the project work? The mission of the Backyard Produce Project is to share fruits and vegetables from residential trees and gardens with low-income families and seniors in our community. The project consists of three parts: 1. Donation sites where community members can drop off fruits and vegetables from their yards. 2. A volunteer tree-picking team that harvests residential fruit trees. 3. An organic garden where volunteers grow fruits and vegetables for the project. All produce is donated to local food pantries for distribution to low-income families and seniors in our community. When was the Backyard Produce Project founded? How has it grown and developed over the years? The project began in 2009. Once per quarter, Palomar Health convenes a meeting of community members interested in improving health in the community. In 2009, some counselors from the Poway Unified School District came to a meeting and said that, with the economic downturn, they were seeing more and more families who couldn’t afford to put healthy food on the table, especially fresh produce. September | October 2018 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • 29

C O V E R F E AT U R E

Our project started with a simple idea. It has grown because of the generosity of the community. 30 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

The group discussed possible solutions. One of the members said, “It’s too bad we can’t get our hands on all the citrus that goes to waste in everyone’s backyard and give it to families that need it.” That was the start of our project. Our plan at first was simply to set up a table in the parking lot of a community center once a month and invite community members to donate backyard produce. We started at the Rancho Bernardo Swim and Tennis Club, then moved to the Seven Oaks Community Center. We added other donation sites over time. Then people began calling, saying they would like to donate their fruit but they needed someone to pick it. We recruited volunteers and started a tree-picking team. In 2010, Sunshine Care Senior Living in Poway offered a plot of undeveloped land on their campus for us to create a garden and grow produce for the project. We started a small garden and expanded it over the years. It is now a 6,000-square-foot garden and orchard. How did you personally become involved with BPP? I was at the meeting where the idea was first raised. I liked the idea and got involved right away. What is your current role within the organization, and what duties does it involve? As project chairman, I have the pleasure of coordinating the wonderful volunteers who make the project happen. We have about 100 active volunteers, covering all three areas of our project – the donation sites, the tree-picking team, and the garden. It’s my job to place new volunteers and to make sure the volunteers have the resources and the organizational structure needed to do their job. What communities does the project serve? The project serves low-income families and seniors living in the Poway Unified School District – Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos, and 4S Ranch. Most of the produce is distributed by the nonprofit Friends and Family Community Connection. We also contribute to the food pantry at The Community Food Connection. (Note: Despite similar names, these are separate organizations.) Can you tell us about the Backyard Produce Gardens and Orchard? Where is it, and who maintains it? The Backyard Produce Garden is located on the grounds of Sunshine Care Senior Living, at the end of Monte Vista Rd. in Poway. Sunshine Care provides the land, the water, and the expertise of its Manager of Horticulture, Roy Wilburn. Sunshine Care also hosts an annual fundraiser for the project. The garden consists of 17 rows, each about 40 feet long, plus an adjacent orchard. It operates year-round. In the summer, we grow

September | October 2018 • 92128MAGAZINE.COM • 31

C O V E R F E AT U R E

tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, cucumbers, and melons. In the winter, we grow broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, kale, and chard. The orchard gives us apples, nectarines, plums, and peaches. The garden is tended entirely by volunteers who generously give their time and energy, knowing that all produce will be donated to others. The volunteers are organized into small teams. Each team comes once a week on its assigned day and works an hour or so, so the garden is tended every day. What is the most rewarding thing about your role? The most challenging? The most rewarding thing for all of us on the project is knowing that local children, families, and seniors who might not be able to afford fresh produce are able to enjoy the fresh produce we provide. Our biggest challenge is getting the word out so everyone knows there’s a good home for their unneeded backyard produce. We’re grateful to ZCode Magazines for helping us do that. What are BPP’s primary goals, both short-term and long-term? Our primary goal, both short-term and long-term, is to increase the amount of produce that we collect, pick, and grow. Sharing fresh produce is our way of sharing good health with our neighbors. What have been some of the organization’s most memorable achievements over the years? Last year, we reached a milestone none of us could have imagined at the start. We surpassed 100 tons of fresh produce donated to our local food pantries. Even better, we’re well on our way to our next 100 tons. How can community members get involved or support the project? Community members can get involved by bringing backyard produce to one of our donation sites, by inviting our tree-picking team to come and harvest their trees, or by volunteering with us on the project. Anyone interested can contact us through our website at www.backyardproduceproject.org Are there any recent or upcoming events you’d like us to know about? Each year in June, Sunshine Care hosts a fundraiser barbecue for our project. It’s held at the Backyard Produce Garden. This year’s event was a great success, and we look forward to next year’s. Is there anything else you would like to add for our readers? Our project started with a simple idea. It has grown because of the generosity of the community. We see it getting better and better. 

DENTIST PROFILE

THE SUPER DENTISTS: HELPING SAN DIEGO’S CHILDREN SMILE by BECCA BARR | photo provided by The Super Dentists

oing to the dentist can be a scary experience for children and, therefore, stressful for their parents. The Super Dentists, San Diego’s largest and most trusted pediatric dentistry and orthodontic office, hopes to make going to the dentist a positive experience for the whole family. For over 20 years, led by Dr. Nazli Keri (also known as the Tooth Keri) and Dr. Kami Hoss (also known as Dr. HaveOneSuperSmile), this team of exceptional pediatric dentists and orthodontists has fought cavities and crooked teeth. “By providing outof-this-world, kid-centered dental care,” said Dr. Hoss, “the Super Dentists are saving the world one smile at a time.” Their dedication to making dentistry enjoyable is evident in every aspect of their practice. “From the second you step into our theme park-designed offices, you’re someplace special with an accomplished, professional pediatric and orthodontic dental crew that cares about your kids,” shared Dr. Hoss. Their offices feature video games, TVs, movies, music, a toy store, dress-up area, selfie/photo-op area for the kids, and a newsstand and café serving Starbucks coffee for the parents. The Super Dentists focus on convenience, which is perfect for parents with hectic schedules. They have extended hours on weekdays and are open on weekends. They offer not only pediatric dentistry, but orthodontics, parent dentistry, and oral surgery

as well. They work with all insurances. “We never turn away any kid in need of dental care, regardless of their financial situation,” related Dr. Hoss. “We provide flexible and affordable financing.” And with several locations around San Diego County, including Carmel Valley, one is sure to be nearby. All of The Super Dentists are up-to-date on the latest innovations and advances in the field. “We are always on the forefront of new dental technologies,” said Dr. Hoss. “If there is a new device available for a quicker, more comfortable, and enhanced dental result, we have it.” The Super Dentists even have their own dental assisting school. They offer spa-like amenities, including flavored gloves, aromatherapy, warm towels, massage chairs, and virtual reality masks to keep their patients relaxed and pampered. Giving back to the community is another important principle to The Super Dentists, always with a focus on children. They host dental days, providing free dental treatment for kids up to 12 years old. Their annual Candy Buy-Back at Halloween lets kids save their teeth while sending their sweet treats to our troops. The Super Dentists also visit over 800 schools in San Diego to provide free school presentations about the importance of oral health. With a longtime and unending mission of serving San Diego’s children, The Super Dentists are truly a fixture in the local community. 

Rancho Bernardo Gives Back

RECREATION CENTERS BENEFIT FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS’ EFFORTS

ancho Bernardo organizations have been busy giving back to the community this summer. The Rancho Bernardo Recreation Advisory Board, formerly known as the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council, recently invested nearly $40,000 in improvements for Rancho Bernardo Community Park. The board purchased and installed new wind screens and yellow padding for all fields with backboards, as well as replacing the rusty Knaack storage boxes. The board set aside $2,500 for additional security cameras. A new portable stage and stage lighting equipment will be used for theater productions, dance performances, and other events held at the park. The advisory board meets the third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center. Call 858-538-8129 to confirm whether there will be a meeting that month. Rancho Bernardo residents also made an impact elsewhere in San

Diego County. Rancho Bernardo Community Council member Eileen Kaufman spearheaded a sporting equipment drive, collecting over 100 new and gently used balls, bats, cleats, gloves, and other goods. The council donated the equipment to Mountain View Recreation Center and Southcrest Recreation Center. “The idea was to allow less fortunate areas to enjoy the items so that children can participate in various sports,” said Council President Robin Kaufman.

STUDIO WEST INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRODUCERS AND AUDIO ENGINEERS S

tudio West has been a fixture in the San Diego music scene since the 70s, but the last few years have seen a significant increase in the popularity of the training programs in audio production they started over 10 years ago. The studio oﬀers a wide variety of classes that are appropriate for everyone from beginners looking to understand music production to industry professionals. The Audio Engineering Package, intended for those new to the subject, has become particularly popular. It covers the fundamental principles of audio production, signal ﬂow, microphone design, and mixing techniques and is taught in the classrooms and studios at Studio West. The studio recently added classes to accommodate demand.

Todd Hunsaker, Studio West’s Director of Admissions, has been impressed with what he’s seen since joining the staﬀ earlier this year. “It’s remarkable to see the passion these students have for creating amazing sound,” he noted. “There is so much talent in the area and we are thrilled to see them joining us in record numbers this session. I can’t believe some of the projects that the students leave class with, and seeing them grow in confidence as they learn more about production is awesome.” Every class at Studio West gives students hands-on experience with mics, consoles, eﬀects processors, and a variety of digital audio workstations. The thrill of learning in a world-class studio where professionals have worked for decades is an experience that few forget! 

RECOVERY COMMUNITY

AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: New Life House COO: David Saruk Years with the Company: 8 Year of Establishment: 1985 Address: 17252 Hawthorne Blvd Suite 289 Torrance, CA 90504 Website: www.newlifehouse.com Email: info@newlifehouse.com Phone: 888-357-7577 Description of Business: New Life House is an age-specific, longterm structured aftercare facility designed to teach life skills and provide the community necessary for someone to overcome addiction and establish a new life.

ife-saving,” parents will attest to their experience with New Life House. These are powerful words for a program that has been providing just that for the last 30 years. Founded in 1985, New Life House is the lifeline for young adults to overcome addiction and stay sober for the long-term. The founder of New Life House was inspired to start the program after experiencing addiction treatment. He saw the need for a program to serve as the missing link between short and long-term recovery. In fact, every staff member has experienced the program first-hand, offering insight into what residents may be experiencing. “The program has an unprecedented ability to hone in on the life struggles specific to 18- to 35-year-olds, and allows them to have a community around them in the same age range that can help out with direct experience,” explained David Saruk, Chief Operating Officer. Community is a cornerstone of the program. Family members are integrated throughout the recovery process, and residents build lifelong relationships. The active alumni program is proof of these bonds. “Our goal is to remain successful long after graduation, so we provide a resource for all our alumni to tap into anytime they need assistance,” David said.

The commitment to long-term sobriety sets New Life House apart from other treatment programs. “Trust people that have experience, and realize that recovery is a process that can’t be completed inside of a few months.” The average stay at New Life House is 13 months. Although people struggling with addiction “will be looking to manipulate the situation any way they can to avoid doing the rigorous internal work required to live a good life in recovery,” David acknowledged. This is a tough position for loved ones who are trying to make the best decision. “Building a foundation in recovery takes ample time, and it’s not something that can be accomplished inside of 30 days.” That foundation at New Life House is based on teaching vital life skills alongside treating the character of each resident, including the importance of a strong work ethic, living honestly, benefits of community, and essential coping skills for sobriety. “New Life House understands that abstinence is a vital stepping stone to true development of an individual,” David shared, “and our hands-on approach focuses on giving our residents the platform to become the best person they can be.” 

San Diego’s Haunted Houses Oﬀer Thrills and Chills by LAINEY KRAL

et ready to get spooky this fall! Whether you’re looking for family-friendly chills or the scare of a lifetime, San Diego offers a variety of haunted experiences this Halloween season. Most open in October or late September, and some are open year-round with special events in October. 

THE WHALEY HOUSE

THE SCREAM ZONE

SPOOKY SCHOOLS

OTHER LOCAL HAUNTS

Known as one of the most haunted houses in the country, Old Town’s Whaley House Museum is open year-round for tours. The museum highlights the house’s early history, with a focus on the late 1800s. The house’s long history includes plenty of ghostly folklore, and legends that its earliest residents are still haunting the halls.

San Diego’s Scream Zone at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is three attractions in one. The House of Horror, Haunted Hayride, and KarnEvil all feature creepy clowns and murderous mayhem – not suitable for children under 10. The general Scream Zone area is open free of charge so the rest of the family can enjoy the atmosphere and food vendors while the thrill-seekers sample the attractions.

For closer-to-home thrills and chills, many local schools host fall festivals and haunted houses in October. Admission is either free or supports school programs, which makes it a great way to give back while getting your scare on. Look up your local school to see what they’re offering and what age ranges the attractions are suitable for.

THE HAUNTED HOTEL Sept. 28 – Oct. 31 www.hauntedhotel.com

The Whaley House is open for extended hours from Oct. 24 through 31. www.whaleyhouse.org

RB High Students’ Summer Activities

side from giving students time to relax, summer also allows students to pursue personal interests. Many Broncos were able to engage in unique activities during the summer. Senior Cassidy Zublin spent a month in Taiwan, where she participated in the Assisting Individuals with Disadvantages Volunteering Program. Throughout the course of the program, Zublin, along with other high school and college students from English speaking countries, prepared and taught lessons to students in local elementary and middle schools. During the first week, Zublin attended lectures by English teachers in Taiwan, where she learned about what to expect from

the students, and what kinds of games and activities she could use with the students. Over the next two weeks, Zublin was able to teach the prepared lessons and connect with the students. Common daily activities included journal entries, PowerPoint presentations, and PE classes. “I love working with kids, and I thought it would be very fulfilling to help inspire a passion for learning English in these students,” Zublin said. “I learned a lot about how to work well with others and settle differences to work towards a common goal.” Senior Varshini Sathish pursued her interest in science at Scripps Research. During an eight-week researching internship, Sathish assisted a doctor working on a

clinical study concerning Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD). Through her research, Sathish learned about the genes associated with severe asthma. At the end of the internship, Sathish presented her findings to the lab faculty and other interns. “My favorite part was getting to know the other doctors and interns and what research they were focusing on,” Sathish said. Her exposure to this professional researching environment confirmed her desire to pursue scientific research. 

Emma Rooholfada is a senior at Rancho Bernardo High School. She is participating in an internship program with 92128 Magazine.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell? by SCOTT VOAK

et’s dispense with the obvious: if you ask a real estate agent, it is always a good time to buy or sell – we don’t make money otherwise. But, is it a good time for you to buy or sell? Different question. In this issue, I am just going to approach this from the standpoint of your primary residence. Next issue we can look at investment property. I’ve always believed that the main purpose of your home is to provide stability for your family. The forced saving aspect of paying off a 30-year mortgage is very valuable if you are going to be in the home long enough to make a dent in the principal and appreciation is definitely a huge plus, but prices don’t always have to go up.
