:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER It Takes a Team It has been three years since ZCode Media published its first issue with Zcode Magazine. Although we had a clear vision and determination, at the time it was hard to predict the growth and popularity that would impart on the first publication of 92127 and the eight additional zip code titles that followed. What started as a basic concept – to publish a magazine that we (my wife and I) actually wanted to read – has now developed into something much bigger than its original home-based two person operation. In fact, ZCode has evolved into a truly dynamic team of hard-working individuals. What does it take to build a good team? This seems like an easy enough question. I wish I had a simple answer. The fact is, I believe that luck plays a significant role. At ZCode Media, we have been lucky enough to build our company around incredibly dynamic and passionate people – all of whom share a strong belief in, and dedication to, the overall concept and goal of the magazines. The ZCode Magazines would simply not be what they are today without our incredible team of individuals. From our editor to our creative director, our graphic designers to our production coordinators, our sales executives to our writers and photographers – it takes a great team (along with terrific readers) to make things happen. Growing from a team of two people to a team of more than twenty strong, ZCode has a lot of things in store for 2013 and beyond. Be sure to check back in the upcoming issues to see what the team is working on.

All the best, Derrick Breaux, PUBLISHER

Three Local Teens Fight Bullying One Kid at a Time by Kelley Gusich | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

V

alorous: Bullying has been a reality since David battled Goliath, but it was brought to the forefront of our consciousness one dark morning at Columbine High School, and our nation has been battling the bully ever since. When Dimitar Gougov and Alex and Michael Bulkin saw the problem grow even larger with the advent of cyber-bullying, they heeded the call and launched the 3V movement. Vigilant: The three saw bullying as a major issue in all of their schools, and felt it would be much more powerfully addressed from a student-to-student standpoint. Dimitar, Alex, and Michael are three highly involved and influential students, and they started the 3V movement “… because we can. We are doing this because we are kids that don’t get bullied; realizing this, we felt it would be easier to stand up for our peers who do get bullied.” The organization began at Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic High Schools, but has already expanded to Rancho Bernardo, St. Augustine, Bishop’s School, Torrey Pines, and St. Michael’s, with eight more schools in the works.

Victorious : The three ‘V’s stand for Vigilance, which representsawareness of the problem and a willingness to fight it, Valor, or bravery in the face of danger—to speak up and take action—and Victory. “If we all come together and agree to the 3V pledge there is no doubt in our minds that we will achieve Victory.” The three founders trumpet this from the rooftops, and if the over 1,100 members who’ve taken the 3V pledge are any indication, people are listening. Virtually Unstoppable: 3V is sponsored by popular radio stations ENERGY 103.7 and KyXy 96.5, along with Honda, Mazda, and Audi of Escondido. The 3V men also raise money by selling T-shirts and soon sweatshirts and stickers that will improve and expand the program. The clothing is made to be appealing to kids, but also to showcase the positive message of the 3V movement: You don’t need to put others down to feel better about yourself. To join or start a 3V club at your school, simply make a pledge to remain bully free, and/or contact the3vmovement@gmail.com. Dimitar, Alex and Michael shared this message: “When you take the 3V oath you agree to stand up for each and every individual. You agree not only to stand up for yourself, but for others that are victims of bullying.” ¢

music Mt. Carmel Choir Director Marti Martinez and Her Students Make Music and Memories by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

M

arti Martinez, Choir Director for the Mt. Carmel Choir, has a true passion for her job, finding it rewarding, challenging and meaningful. “My biggest accomplishment has to be the sense of family that has been created for the choir students at MCHS. Students will always remember their time in choir and carry with them the memories of all their experiences and performances,” said Marti, who previously led the Meadowbrook Middle School Choir. In addition to making wonderful memories, the Mt. Carmel Choir has also made quite a name for itself, receiving numerous accolades, including three Grammys, and performing at Carnegie Hall, the Golden State Festival at UCLA and the Holiday Bowl here in San Diego. It’s been nine years since Marti returned to her alma mater to become Choir Director, and she is the first to admit that it was a bit surreal to teach in the same classroom where she spent so many hours as a student. However, she is thrilled to be there and proud of her Sundevil roots. “Mt. Carmel is steeped in tradition, and I love it! We have a tradition of excellence that permeates everything we do. That will never change,” declared Marti. Her passion for Mt. Carmel is also evident in what she wishes for the school—more funding for the performing arts department and for class sizes in all departments to go back down to a manageable size. When Marti isn’t at Mt. Carmel, she enjoys spending time with her family. She and her husband, Louis, a fifth grade teacher at Garden

Road Elementary School, have three sons: Alex (21), Tommy (13) and Gregory (12). Marti is happy to report that her love of music has been passed down to all three boys. “Our younger sons go to Bernardo Heights Middle School and Chapparal Elementary School. Both are in the band programs at their schools. My 21-year-old loves to play the guitar and enjoys all types of music,” related Marti. Marti encourages everyone who is interested in hearing the Mt. Carmel Choir perform to come to their fourth annual Messiah Sing-Along, one of the program’s biggest fundraisers. The event will take place on Monday, December 10, 2012 at 7 p.m. in the Mt. Carmel Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $7 for students and $10 for adults. For more information, visit www.mtcarmelchoir.com. 

PERC Preparedness Challenge 72 Hour Packs CHALLENGE # 4 of a 6 part series

by CHRISTINA WADDELL

I

n the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or wild fire it is important to have on hand, ready to go, a 72 hour pack for each member of your household. A 72 hour pack could also come in handy if you are stranded in your home without transportation or utilities. There are many pre-assembled kits available online or you can assemble your own. It should be put together in a practical manner so that you can carry it with you. A backpack or a roller bag work great. Suggested items to include: •

• • • • • • • • •

A 3 day supply of food and water - Protein bars, canned meats, dried fruit and nuts, dry cereal, crackers, peanut butter, juice boxes, etc… Can opener (if you include canned goods) Change of clothing Blanket or emergency blanket Flashlight and extra batteries / headlamp Battery powered radio Duct tape Tarp Personal hygiene items Medications - prescription and non-prescription

Pen and paper Toilet paper Baby wipes Hand sanitizer Work gloves Poncho Utility cording Small first aid kit Whistle Garbage bag

Special attention should be paid to kits put together for children, babies, people with disabilities, and seniors so everything they might require is included. It is also nice to include toys and games for children. Store your 72 hour packs in an area that is easy to access. The perishable items should be replaced every 6 months. It isn’t hard to put these packs together and it gives you peace of mind to know that you are ready.

T

his 16-year-old Mount Carmel junior, , has a go-getter personality that perfectly suits his high school’s rigorous three-semester schedule. Ryan explained, “I like Mount Carmel’s trimester system because it allows me to try new subjects, and the school has a lot of activities to take part in.” An active student, Ryan maintains a 3.9 GPA while mastering AP Physics, AP U.S. History, and Honors PreCalculus. He also excels in sports – most notably lacrosse, but also soccer and basketball. And, amongst all that, he still manages to play the alto saxophone for his school’s various musical outlets, including the marching band, parades, and jazz concerts. A true Renaissance man, Ryan has his family to thank for helping him juggle his various commitments. He said, “My parents not only inspire me, but help me get through any hard times.” His supportive mom, Jeanne, a registered nurse at Rady Children’s Hospital, can be found coordinating the uniforms for his lacrosse varsity team, and has been Mount Carmel’s band mom for the past two years. His dad Mike, a Navy man who moved the family to Rancho Peñasquitos from Rhode Island four years ago, is the patriarchal glue that keeps the extended kin together, including Ryan’s two sisters: Kristin, age 32, a mom in Santee, and Jessica, age 22, who lives in Santa Barbara. It’s no surprise that Ryan admitted, “I want to have a family

someday,” and he’d like to either join the Navy as his dad did, or perhaps become an engineer. His favorite school subject exemplifies his rational, logical sensibilities: “I like math because the answers are either right or wrong.” As for his university choice, Ryan may attend the same one his sisters did, U.C. Santa Barbara, but wherever he goes, he insisted, “I plan to play lacrosse in college.” That collegiate goal shouldn’t be difficult considering Ryan has been a varsity letterman for lacrosse for the past two years, and was the

Ryan also finds time to play soccer for both the Rancho Santa Fe Attack soccer club, and for his high school’s soccer team. Ryan is certainly one to follow both on and off the field these next few years. 

The Holiday Basket Drive: Giving Impoverished Families their Dignity and More by LINDA FRABL

I

t may be the season to be jolly, but for those less fortunate, ‘tis the season of despair. Enter the Holiday Basket Drive, organized by the Encinitas-based Community Resource Center, North County Collaboration… Founded 30 years ago, the Holiday Basket Drive began as merely a small distribution of baskets to approximately 50 families in need. Today, the baskets have been replaced by a “shopping experience” for over 1,500 households in need, and thanks to over 200 organizations and nearly 2,000 volunteers, the drive is the largest distribution of its kind in San Diego County! As Linda Hayes, a dedicated Holiday Basket Drive volunteer for more than twenty years, exclaimed, “The program’s goal is to make a family in need feel that they are holiday shopping like everyone else.” Thus, needy families are invited to shop

with dignity at a “no cost store” that has been created at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Families “shop” by pushing actual shopping carts through a Costco-esque warehouse-like area the size of a football field. The “store” items consist of toys, canned goods, and a mix of new and gently used jackets, coats, blankets, linens, baby items, and more. The participating families must be pre-screened and registered through the Community Resource Center, and if they qualify, they will receive an appointment time to “shop” during the three-day distribution period (December 14-16). All merchandise is supplied by the numerous clothing / food / toy drives throughout San Diego, and the program is aided by grants from the county of San Diego and the cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach. In addition, TaylorMade® and Coldwell Banker, along with the Board of Realtors, provide the largest corporate food drives for the program. If you as

24 • 92129Magazine.com • December | January 2013

an individual, or your organization (boy/girl scout troop, school charity, etc.) would like to contribute to the Holiday Basket Drive, either as a volunteer or as a provider, the Community Resource Center’s website, www.crcncc.org, has detailed templates and helpful suggestions for setting up your own distribution site. Summing up the worthwhile cause, Linda said, “The program directly connects thousands in the community who want to help thousands in the community who need the help. Adults and children alike learn about the needs in our own community, and are presented with tangible ways to make a difference.” ¢

Exercise Specialist Marylene Rosa and the Pink Ribbon Program Help Breast Cancer Surgery Survivors Feel Fit Again! by LINDA FRABL

A

fter undergoing breast cancer surgery, it is difficult for women to get back into a regular fitness regimen. Having a mastectomy or a lumpectomy frequently results in loss of mobility in the shoulders and arms, as well as breathing difficulties associated with weakened abdominal muscles, and even weight gain due to steroid drug use. The Pink Ribbon Program, a physical conditioning treatment plan geared specifically for breast cancer post-op survivors, has enabled survivors to recover quickly with promising results. Marylene Rosa Kuhlmann, a 4S Ranch-based certified Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist with the Pink Ribbon Program (the only one in San Diego for the time being), lost her own friend to breast cancer 12 years ago. Shortly thereafter, while studying for her certification in Fitness Training, Marylene came across the Pink Ribbon Program’s website and discovered that its founder, Doreen Puglisi, is an exercise instructor/physiologist who had her own double mastectomy. After attending the program’s workshop at Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Reno, Marylene recalled, “I immediately knew that I would bring the Pink Ribbon Program to San Diego and that I would devote my career to helping the fighters and survivors.” The program provides two individualized sessions a week (each session lasts 30-45 minutes) for a period of eight weeks. In her studio,

28 • 92129Magazine.com • December | January 2013

S

ue, Kraig and Kylie Haviland are loving life both on and off the tennis court. The family recently moved from Rancho Bernardo to the Woodcrest Hills community of Rancho Peñasquitos and was just selected as the United States Tennis Association (USTA) San Diego Tennis Family of the Year. “It was based on all of us participating in tennis in San Diego, as well as how we represent the sport,” explained Sue. “We owe most of it to Kylie she has such a good reputation with all the players, officials and directors.” Kylie has been playing tournament tennis since she was eight-years-old


and is currently finishing out her high school career at Del Norte. She will attend the University of Northern Iowa next fall where she will play Division 1 tennis. Tennis is truly a family affair, with Kraig also playing in local leagues and competing in national father-daughter tournaments with Kylie. Sue picked up the sport four years ago when Kylie broke her foot. “I started playing to secure Kylie’s lesson time with her coach. I loved it and jumped right into playing on leagues myself,â€? declared Sue. Giving back to the community is another important aspect of the family life of the Havilands. The family participates in Toys for Tots every year through Kraig’s office—he is the Director of Operations for San Diego Self-Storage. Sue, who owns Haviland Storage Service, a consulting firm for the self-storage industry, was recently asked to serve on the Board of Directors for Charity Storage, and she also puts on an annual tennis clothing and gear collection for the Barnes Youth Center. The family actively supports various Susan G. Komen fundraising efforts. “We participate in many breast cancer events in honor of my mom, who is a survivor,â€? stated Sue. In fact, Kraig took second place with his Pro in a local breast cancer fundraising tennis tournament. The Haviland family spends their time off the court traveling, reading and going to concerts. With the holidays right around the corner, Sue, Kraig and Kylie will be engaging in some of their favorite traditions, including going to a performance of the Trans Siberian Orchestra and decorating a Christmas tree entirely with Winnie the Pooh ornaments. “My brother-in-law started me with a mini-tree and five ornaments over 20 years ago, and it's grown into a theme tree of nine-feet with over 200 ornaments,â€? laughed Sue. 

25th Annual North Rotary Fun Run photos by Sherri Cortez

T

he 25th Annual North Rotary Fun Run Invitational for grades three through eight was [once again] an unbelievable success. Over 650 elementary and middle school runners competed over a one mile course for Elementary school students and a 1.8 Mile Course for 6 - 8th grade middle schoolers. The annual event was hosted by the San Diego North Rotary Club and free to all participants. 511 elementary schools students representing

17 schools and 147 middle school students from five middle schools all showed up this year. Congratulations to Painted Rock Elementary for taking home the Sweepstakes Prize. The Rotary Club considers the event one of the elite community events that it sponsors. Coach Phil Warren and a committed group of volunteers have made this event a fun and exciting meet throughout the years. Being able to use the Mt Carmel High School track and facilities helps to make

this fall event a focus for the community. The newest runners include children of individuals who ran in the very first race in 1988. The event is a perfect example of how a small idea generated decades ago can end up as a coveted event in the community each and every year. Sally Pruschki of Park Village Elementary expressed her sincere appreciation - “This is such a wonderful event which we always look forward to every year. Thank you for putting it on, and for all your hard work!” ¢

:::: YOUR NEIGHBOR’S RECIPE

Mom’s

Simple Sage

STUFFING Ingredients 4-5 lb. turkey (optional) 4 cups dry bread cubes (any bread will do, even regular sandwich bread) 1 ½ cups finely chopped celery 3 tbs. chopped onion 1 tsp. salt ¼ tsp. pepper ¼ tsp. poultry seasoning sage to taste (fresh, dried, or a mixture of both-I use about 1/2 tsp. of each) ⅓ cup melted butter hot broth to moisten

Directions 1. Prepare ingredients (dry bread cubed, celery and onions chopped, butter melted), then mix all ingredients together in large saucepan on medium heat until well blended. 2. Add additional broth if needed. (Stuffing to be cooked in a casserole dish may need more broth to keep it from drying out.) 3. Continue cooking the stuffing mixture until the celery and onions begin to soften, about 10 minutes on med/low heat, stirring often. 4. Move the stuffing either into the cavity of a turkey and sew it up with a poultry needle, or move it to your favorite casserole dish. 5. If using the stuffing in the turkey, please follow cooking directions on the turkey. Your stuffing will come out moist and cooked through. 6. When using it in a casserole dish, cover and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, removing the lid for the last few minutes if you like a crispier top.

Helpful Tips: 1. These quantities correspond with what you would need to stuff a 4-5 lb. turkey, so you would need to adjust the quantities based upon the size of your turkey, or the size of your casserole dish. 2. Make sure that your bread is left out the night before you make the stuffing, or you will be running ragged trying to dry it in the oven before company arrives! 3. If cooking it in a turkey, do not forget to defrost the turkey in plenty of time before cooking. 4. When I’m not feeling up to the whole roasting a turkey and all, I make my stuffing casserole, and then layer pre-cooked sliced turkey breast and gravy around the edges of the casserole. For a lot less effort, my family can enjoy a turkey and stuffing meal any day of the week.

About the Chef Name of Chef: Rachel Finney Age: Old enough to have fun! Family Members: I get to make this flavorful and easy side dish for my loving husband, Anthony Finney, stepdaughter, Samantha, now attending her first year at University of Pittsburgh, 5th grade son and fellow chef, John, and the most recent addition to our family, our puppy, Shelby. My sister, Rebecca Blomstrom, suggested submitting the recipe, and my mom, long-time Peñasquitos resident, Rosalee Kenyon Conley, allowed me to share this family favorite. Community of Residence: PQ, Mt. Carmel High School Class of ‘91 Hobbies/Interests: Camping in our motor home; watching my son play Little League and travel ball; assisting my husband in coaching Little League (RPLL); teaching my K-2 students at Mt. Everest Academy; reading; playing Texas Hold ‘Em with our friends; and playing with our puppy, Shelby. Favorite Local Activity: Cheering my son on at Canyonside Park, taking Shelby for walks, and getting pampered at Salon 56 About the Recipe: I fondly remember my mom preparing this for my dad, sister, and me on Christmas Day ever since I was a little girl. My parents would get up in the early hours of the morning to start preparing the stuffing and turkey for our Christmas family feast. It wasn’t Christmas without waking to the smell of roasting turkey, butter, sage, and onions, filling the air. Never have I tasted a stuffing as good as Mom’s. After suffering the loss of my dad at an all too early age, my mom still continued the tradition of preparing her famous stuffing and turkey, rekindling those warm family memories with every Christmas meal. Even though I have made my own attempts at Mom’s stuffing, I appreciate that my mom and her husband, Mark, continue the traditional meal for my sister and our families every Christmas. It is still my favorite meal of the year! About the Chef: I’m so glad my parents moved us to Rancho Peñasquitos when we were younger! Now my husband and I enjoy raising our own family here. Warm holiday wishes to all! ¢

L

acrosse, the oldest sport in America, has emerged in the community and it is only gaining more and more momentum. Seen traditionally as an "east coast" sport, the west coast has a huge weather advantage offering year-round play. It is said that you can find as much lacrosse as you can schedule and afford here in San Diego. Dennis Yeatman, of Rancho Bernardo, also known as, “The Godfather of Lacrosse,” offered the first league for boys and girls in this area, and it is apparent his true passion for the sport has led to great fun, athleticism and sportsmanship right here in 92129. Mt. Carmel and Westview High Schools have promising spring teams and PQ Lacrosse Club is about to launch another stellar season that will host hundreds of players. Dave Ketcham, President of PQ Lacrosse Club, shared his background and vision along with details of upcoming opportunities for players, coaches, and volunteers. From 1st graders to adults, the sport, lends itself as a perfect way to build friendships, develop character, and share competitive spirit.

minimum. We have an annual pancake breakfast, PQ Tigers gear (Hats/T’s/ Sweats) available for donations, and we also run a snack bar at home games.

92129: How does one get involved with volunteering with the Club? Is there anything our readers can do to help out? The easiest way to volunteer is to contact us at the www.pqlax.org website and tell us how you can help. We are always looking for experienced coaches but we love all types of help, especially corporate donations! This year we are looking to add an AED to our equipment in case of a traumatic event where it is needed to help a player, coach or spectator.

92129: What is the most rewarding part of dedicating your time kids who have an interest in the sport? The most rewarding parts of my experiences with PQ Lacrosse are twofold. Number one is the response from my players. Some have expressed that I have impacted their life, not just with lacrosse, but in their understanding of what it takes to become a responsible young adult. Kids that listen are really are a joy to coach and mentor. Secondly, it’s the friendships I have made with the families in this small community of Rancho Peñasquitos. We are all lucky to live in such a great town, among tremendous people.

92129: Have any of your players gone on to compete on a professional level of lacrosse? If so, please elaborate. Not that I am aware of, but each year that passes we send more and more kids into the college ranks to continue their lacrosse careers. I know of several kids in the Westview program that are being recruited by Division 1 schools back east to play. This had never happened in the past, and colleges are now realizing the strength of West Coast Lacrosse, and are expanding their search for players to our area.

92129: What is the most unique thing about lacrosse compared to other sports in the community? Lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America, dating back to the 1600’s. It was originated by the Native Americans to settle tribal disputes without going to war, and it helped keep all their warriors in shape. There is still a sense of that tradition in our game and I think that is what sets it apart from all other sports. We all depend on our teammates and have a sense of togetherness that is hard to describe, other than saying we carry the “Spirit of the Game”.

92129: How do the local high school teams fair compared to their competitors? San Diego Lacrosse is definitely a “hotbed” of West Coast Lacrosse, with La Costa Canyon H.S. ranking in the top 20 nationally for both boys and girls Lacrosse. Westview lost to them in the Semi-finals for the Div. 1 CIF Championships last season, and finished with very good 17-4 record, so I would say Westview is the strongest in our area, but both Mt. Carmel and Del Norte are getting better every year. We continue to send players from our PQ Lacrosse Tigers Program to all three schools, so the future is bright for all of them.

92129: Do you have any upcoming camps or clinics our readers should be aware of? December 1st, 8-11am at Westview High School is our Annual Introductory clinic for boys and girls of all ages, and they can just show up with a parent and signup between 7:30 - 8:00 a.m. Registration for the season is currently open on our website, www.pqlax.org. 

A SUNNY WONDERLAND Five Great Places to Find Snow this Season by Wynne Love

I

get a secret satisfaction out of sunning myself by the beach in the middle of December. But I must admit I sometimes pine for that cool, crisp weather that makes sweaters and hot chocolate a necessity. So here: a list of places where you can get your dose of “winter” right here in sunny San Diego County.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Some local parks host their own snow days where they manufacture snow for sledding and snow play. Check yours, or swing by Hilltop Park Recreation Center’s Winter Wonderland event in Rancho Peñasquitos on Saturday, December 1st, from 11-3.

Some amusement parks create snow areas as well. Check out LEGOLAND’s Holiday Snow Days and SeaWorld’s SnowWorld, open through December.

While you can sometimes find snowy peaks and spectacular views off local climbs like Iron Mountain, Mount Woodson, and Cowles Mountain, word on the street is that the best place to play in the snow is on Mount Laguna. Call the Mount Laguna Lodge at 619-473-8533 for details, and time your arrival just long enough after a good snowfall so that you don’t get turned away due to driving conditions. Go sledding, have a snowball fight, and enjoy a hot chocolate in nearby Pine Valley.

Little ones may enjoy the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum’s Santa Train North Pole Limited. While there’s no snow in the forecast, this “polar express” train ride leaves from the Campo train depot and takes the passengers and their elf hosts to the North Pole where Santa joins them for the return trip. Rides are held weekend days through December 22nd started at $20 a seat. Find out more at sdrm.org/npl.

Up for a more daring adventure? Find snowcapped peaks an hour’s drive away at Palomar Mountain, in Julian, or up Stonewall Peak near Cuyamaca. Or, head to the top of Mount San Jacinto in Idyllwild. The park is open during the renovation of the visitor’s center, as is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a smooth gondola ride to the summit. Get the latest trail news about the San Jacinto trail at www.parks.ca.gov or tickets for the tramway at www.pstramway.com. 

Jerry and Keri Bohart: Setting Up the Foundation to Benefit Local Schools by linda frabl | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

W

ith budget cuts affecting California’s schools, there is an unprecedented need to raise funds for the educational cause. Luckily Jerry and Keri Bohart, 20-year residents of Rancho Peñasquitos (they relocated their family to 4S Ranch in April 2012), are committed to doing all they can for the neighborhood’s schools. Jerry admitted, “We especially liked living in PQ because of the close-knit community and the schools.” The Boharts began their school-improvement quest by establishing one of the very first foundations in the Poway school district back in 2000 for Deer Canyon Elementary School, with Keri acting as the President of that Foundation. The couple continued spearheading foundations for Verde Middle School (where Keri resumed her role as the Foundation President), Oak Valley Middle School, Canyon View Elementary School, and Westview High School. Since Westview opened in 2002, Jerry has been on the Foundation board, and has been the Foundation President from 2009 on. “My goal is to provide Westview with the resources necessary to maintain its level of excellence,” Jerry explained. Providing those resources requires 100% contribution participation from Westview’s families, and luckily Keri is Westview’s PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association)-Foundation Liaison. Keri communicates between the two organizations “to make sure we are working together as a team for the benefit of the school,” Keri clarified. She continued, “When parents come together, great things can happen!” In addition to their school-related commitments, the Boharts volunteer for many other activities that enrich the lives of children in the community. Jerry has coached his children’s sports teams with Keri participating as the team mom, and Jerry has been the Children’s Liturgy Leader at their church, while Keri has taught religious education. In addition, Jerry has been the YMCA Y-Guides (formerly Indian Guides) tribal and nation chief. “Together, we have made an effort to be involved in everything our children do,” Jerry exclaimed, adding, “the biggest accomplishment in volunteering our time is that we know we are making a difference for children.” As if they’re not busy enough, Jerry has his own law office in Scripps Ranch, where he specializes in estate planning and consumer bankruptcy; Keri is the office manager. In their rare free moments, Jerry enjoys bike riding, and Keri relishes reading, working out, and going to the beach. Both also admit that they especially love spending time with their children – Devon (19), a sophomore at UC Davis, and Drew (16), a junior at Westview. 

T

he Westview Wolverines are looking forward to another exciting winter sports season. Coupled with tremendous success in last season’s Palomar League action and outstanding CIF playoff appearances, the winter sports campaign promises continued achievement. With all programs boasting returning experienced players and leadership, the winter sports coaching staff has expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming season. The 2012-13 winter teams will be led by coaches who bring tremendous work ethic, character, and commitment to the Wolverine coaching staff. On the basketball court, Kyle Smith, head coach of the boys program, and Frank Quinones, head coach of the girl’s program, pledge to bring even more excitement to the Westview campus and to the “Black Hole” student cheering section. On the soccer field, Peter Stogsdill and Martin Coughlin, continue as head coaches of the girls and boys Wolverine soccer programs respectively. As the original head coaches of their programs since Westview opened its doors in 2002, Peter and Martin have developed superior soccer programs while working closely with community club soccer programs. In the pool, girl’s water polo head coach, Amy Jennings, will field another

league and CIF contender as she prepares her team for the upcoming competitive polo season. On the Roller Hockey rink, head coach Ron Smith looks to challenge once again for the Metro Conference Championship in his second year at the helm of the four-time Champion Wolverines. On the wrestling mat, head coach Perry Watson, also one of the original head coaches in Westview’s eleven-year history feels his squad of very talented grapplers will be one of his most dynamic teams in Wolverine history. As Westview gears up for the start of another winter sports season, the Wolverine administration team and coaching staff values the tremendous support shown by the PQ community. Coupled with outstanding parental involvement, this foundation helps foster school pride and provides relentless energy which, in turn, fuels Westview’s athletic programs. ¢ Chris Carter, Westview Athletic Director

Girls Basketball Frank Quinones 21-8 (8-2 league) Jan. 4 vs. Mission Viejo @ Westview Coach’s Outlook: We are looking forward to a great season with returning veterans and some new faces to the program. The girls have worked extremely hard in the off-season in the weight room as well as in tournaments and leagues. We are hosting the largest girls basketball tournament called the So Cal Holiday Prep Classic, on Dec 26,27,28,29. A total of 53 teams from Canada, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Nevada and California will come and play at Westview in the highest division. Wrestling Perry Watson 8-4 Dec. 6 vs. Fallbrook @ Westview Coach’s Outlook: We are excited about filling a very tough line up with many retuning Varsity wrestlers. The Wolverines look to compete tough in the Palomar League lead by seniors AJ Manuche and Kerrigan Henkel, who are both retuning CIF placers. We also have a strong field of underclassman which includes Davan Dutra, Tony Piccolo, Jordan Santos and Royce Muniz. Roller Hockey Ron Smith 15-5 CIF season Week of Dec. 12 Coach’s Outlook: We lost 7 seniors off of our CIF Varsity team from last year, but we are rebuilding with a strong and fast young team. This will be another competitive season for us with competing with other more experienced North County teams. Boys Basketball Kyle Smith 23-6 Nov. 30 Coach’s Outlook: We are looking forward to another strong season with five returning seniors: Andrew McWilliam, Cody Williams, Ryan Fabela, Ryan Pineda and Thomas Barajas. Boys Soccer Martin Coughlin 14-7-4 Overall Nov. 30 vs. Mira Mesa CIF Semi-Finalists @ Westview Coach’s Outlook: Although we graduated 14 seniors from last year, we still have a number of returning players with multiple years of varsity experience. Palomar league will be even tougher for all teams this year as Canyon Crest has taken the place of Ramona. GIrls Soccer Peter Stogsdill 25-2-2 Dec. 6-TBA Coach’s Outlook: Last season will be a difficult season to repeat as we graduated some key players and at one time were ranked #1 in the nation by ESPN. However, we have some great players returning in key positions and some exciting young players that I expect to challenge for starting spots on the varsity team. If the team comes together right, we should be able to challenge for a League and CIF championship. GIrls Water Polo Amy Jennings Coach’s Outlook: Division 1 CIF Finals

Girls Basketball Tim Jollett 25-6-0 Nov 28 vs. Santana Coach’s Outlook: This season we are looking forward to rebuilding our team with fresh, strong, young players and strive to defend our title as last season’s Palomar League champions! Most of our starters have gone off to college and we have one returning starter, sophomore Ali Englehardt. She is expected to dominate this year again as our leading rebounder. The girls have been working hard pre-season by training with our Sundevils competitive team and we are ready for some great competition this season. Boys Basketball Chris Vitous 13-13 Nov. 27 vs. Serra HS Coach’s Outlook: With only one Senior returning and one starter returning, the Sundevils will be young and inexperienced. At least five sophomores will be on the Varsity squad and 2 or 3 have a good chance of starting. The Sundevils will be an up tempo team that will make up for their lack of size (no player over 6”2’) with hard work and full-court pressure. Girls Soccer Danielle Schelhorse 9-12-1 Dec. 11 vs. La Costa Canyon Coach’s Outlook: With over half the team returning from last year’s team including 10 seniors, this coming season appears to be a fresh start. The Varsity players are an extremely close-knit group of young ladies who hang out together both on and off the soccer field. Boys Soccer Mark Green 14-3-3 Dec. 5 at Morse Coach’s Outlook: We bring back most of our starters from last year’s squad including Captains Michael Griswold, Quentin Brillantes, and Aaron Zamarripa and feel we will be one of the strongest teams in the county. Griswold, who set the school single season scoring record with 22 goals last year and looks to set the career mark this year, will play at Stanford next fall and should be one of the top players in the section. Girls Water Polo Jon Au 16-14 Nov. 16 The Draz Classic Coach’s Outlook: Many starters are returning from our CIF Championship season last year and we have added some great young talent as well. Everyone is still hungry and eager to become the best team we can be. Wrestling Gail Miller 9-3 Dec. 6 at Del Norte Coach’s Outlook: This will be a rebuilding year for us since we have a very young team with only two graduating seniors in the lineup. We look to have some of our younger talent step up into the varsity line up and gain some valuable experience for the upcoming years. Even though our team is young, I feel they are eager to learn, work hard to get better and will focus on constant improvement.

The

Perfect Present W Gifts that Bring Meaning to the Season by wynne love

hether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or Festivus, you are probably one of the many who exchange gifts of one sort or another during the holiday season. I start each year with high hopes for my ability to find that perfect gift for everyone in my life. Then, when I find myself desperately racing through a packed mall for a gift for that brother who has everything, I can’t help but think there has to be a better way. Determined to find it, I compiled a list of suggestions from local families for gifts ideas that meet three criteria: not too expensive, not too difficult, and still meaningful. Here’s what they suggested.

The Gift of Time.

Spend time together doing something special. Go on a special outing, share a special meal, decorate, shop, or volunteer together.

The Gift of Service. Give them the gift of your service by offering up your help and skills: Computer help, babysitting, housecleaning, yard work, or other household projects.

The Gift of the Unexpected. One family enjoys planning “mystery outings,” where one member takes the others to a surprise location to share something special, whether it’s an activity or something beautiful to look at. Another loved her “Twelve Days of Christmas” gift, made up of trinkets that always had something to do with the number and the song. Come up with your own fun twist on a modest gift to turn a small gesture into a grand one.

The Gifts You Can Use. Embrace consumables. The beauty of these gifts is that they don’t get left languishing on the shelf: Tickets to an event, flowers, fudge, cookies, or other homemade treats.

The Gift You Give. Some fabulous local charities allow you to support their work while making a gift to others. For

62 • 92129Magazine.com • December | January 2013

instance, families can enjoy wonderful soups made by women of the Tomorrow Project. Check them out at www.sdwbp.org.

The Gift of Adventure. Rather than exchanging gifts, agree on an outing or exciting new adventure you can enjoy together: Trapeze classes, surfing, or going camping or sledding together.

The Gift from the Heart. Many folks feel a simple, heartfelt note is as meaningful to them as any gift. Some have enjoyed when friends and family share a favorite book or poem, or make a gift of a great photograph or scrapbook page that celebrates a shared memory. 

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Using a Self-Directed IRA to Invest in Real Estate by SCOTT VOAK

O

ver the first two months of hosting my own radio show, the subject and interviews that have drawn the most interest have been around the subject of investing retirement funds in real estate. People with corporate 401K programs are typically limited to the ability to borrow $50,000 from their account and repaying that over five years. It’s not really investing your retirement funds in real estate, it’s giving yourself a loan – that has to be paid back with after tax dollars. Nothing that builds tax free or tax deferred. However, if you have an IRA, you have more options. With either a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA, you can convert your account to a self-directed IRA. Using a company that specializes in administering self-directed IRAs, you can invest in real estate, private companies, gold, etc. One of the main limitations is that you cannot personally benefit from the investment (in other words, no purchasing a vacation home or paying yourself to manage your properties). In fact, it is even possible to use your IRA to invest in another company that purchases real estate with other investors, forming syndicates to help spread your risk (if you have a duplex and lose a tenant, you lose ½ your income, but if you are partners in a larger building, you can handle a tenant problem or situation where you lose a portion of your rent for awhile.) It is also possible to use your self-directed IRA as a down payment and take a loan against the property. This makes sense if you can generate enough cash flow to pay off the loan to coincide with your retirement since you won’t be pulling money out along the way, 100% of the positive cash flow can go to retire the loan so the property is free and clear and ready to fund your retirement years. ¢

:::: COUNCIL CONNECTION

What’s New in

PQ?

by MICHELLE O’CONNOR-RATCLIFF Special to 92129 Magazine

Y

our PQ Town Council hopes this issue of 92129 Magazine finds you enjoying abundant love, family time, and joyful traditions. One of our favorite PQ traditions is the annual Winter Wonderland up at Hilltop Park. Thanks to the PQ Recreation Council’s hard work and a little magic, real snow delights hundreds of sledders and snowball-tossers at this annual event. Traditions don’t end with enchanted neighborhood parks. Our national tradition of elections and voting is strong, and as a result of that tradition, our PQ community has an ever-changing landscape of elected representatives. To alleviate some perplexity about what happened in the recent election cycle, we’d like to explain our current City Council representation. Before the City Council redistricting happened last year, PQ was represented as part of District 1 (D1) by Sherri Lightner. As a result of the recent redistricting, 92129 is now split into two City Council districts: D5 and D6. Most the community is in D5 and is represented by Mark Kersey, while the portion of 92129 south of the 56 and west of Salmon River Road is in D6, represented by Lori Zapf. Your Town Council aims to establish excellent working relationships with these two new representatives and their staffs to make sure our PQ interests are well-represented at City Hall. In addition to our City representation, there is, of course, our town representation. The PQ Town Council is currently looking for new members. Our eight Council districts are laid out to coincide with the elementary school boundaries and we have openings in every district except Adobe Bluffs. Candidate applications can be found on our web site and submitted electronically. As always, thanks to 92129 Magazine for allowing us this space to keep you up to date on the Town Council’s activities and other local issues that affect you. Nothing happens in PQ without your support. We’d like to thank those who have already become community partners and renew our invitation to the rest of you. For $10 you can support youth community service grants, the annual Fiesta de los Peñasquitos, a summer movie night, and a community signboard, to name a few. As a partner, you will receive a PQ Community Partner sticker as well as the adulation of your friends and neighbors. Make 2013 the year you start a new tradition and get involved! . ¢
