FROM THE PUBLISHER VOL. 9, NO. 5 TM
Graduation Is in the Air
P U B L I S HE R
Derrick Breaux
A
s we approach summer, there’s a little something more than warmer days looming in the air. Graduation is upon us. Elementary is promoted to middle school. Middle schoolers move on to high school. High school... College… Graduations, celebrations, and transitions are all around us. For those of you that know us personally or have been along for the ZCode Magazines journey, it will come as no surprise that my wife and I run a very busy household. Having three kids, it seems that every time we turn around, one of them is advancing to a new chapter in their lives. A close relative gave me some good advice many years ago. He said not to blink, meaning that time flies when you have kids, and they’ll be grown before you know it. And as much as I try to take that advice, I must be blinking more than I realize. Things seem to be moving way too fast! Last month, our oldest daughter, Ashley, graduated college and began her journey in the MBA program. To say that my wife and I are proud of her is a dramatic understatement. We are constantly impressed with her passion for life, her dedication to her family and friends, and her commitment to success. It seems like yesterday when I was sitting at this same computer writing about Ashley graduating high school. I must have blinked! This 22-year-old woman is the same little girl that we taught to ride a bike at the age of three. The little girl that we began coaching in soccer at the age of four, eventually developing into a speedster that could outrun nearly every opponent down the sideline when given the opportunity. Believe it or not, she’s still outrunning opponents in the various soccer leagues that she plays in for fun – not to mention the soccer teams that she coaches. As parents, my wife and I couldn’t ask for a better big sister for our two younger kiddos. She has set a great example for them, and they are always thrilled to have her around, whether she is watching them play sports or just hanging at the house playing games. She makes time in her busy schedule to nurture those relationships. She takes her role as a big sister seriously. Those that know Ashley would be the first to say that she is their biggest fan. So, my wife and I would like to send a special congratulations to our little Ashley. You did it! You continue to impress us. We are proud of you, and more importantly, we hope you are just as proud of yourself. As much as we try not to blink, we can’t wait to watch you on your journey through the MBA program and beyond. Keep up the good work and don’t forget to set aside a little time to take it all in. Congrats to all the graduates in our community! There are a few days that you remember for the rest of your life, and graduation day is one of them. P.S. I would also like to congratulate our youngest daughter, Audrey. She’ll be making her transition into high school this year. Keep up the great work! We are proud of you.

A fun & effective way to make the most out of summer... Use this summer to turn your child into a confident, motivated, and independent learner. Improving your child's school experience for next year At TLC, we always say, “No child wakes up to have a bad day” – And that’s because there is always an underlying reason why a child is struggling in school, or having a hard time learning. It’s not your fault, it’s not the school’s fault, and it’s not that your child is lazy.
Who is finding solutions at TLC?
Because we talk so much about learning challenges, it is easy to make the mistake that we only work with learning disabilities. Truth is, we work with a very wide range of students! We have clients from grades 1-12 and many adult clients too. Although some do have IEPs and 505 plans, most of our students don’t have diagnosed learning disabilities at all.
Parents:
- Any parent who is watching their child struggle with Common Core math! - Any parent who worries about their child’s performance - in school. - Any parent who is frustrated over homework. - Any parent who can’t find what motivates their child - Any parent paying for tutoring year after year. - Any parent wishing for their child to become more independent in their academic work. - Any parent with a “gut feeling” there is something “not right.”
Through a one-on-one cognitive approach, we help identify the underlying problem, and fix it, so that learning becomes comfortable and efficient. THAT is when motivation and enjoyment for school comes back, and THAT is when we see confident and independent learners.
Students:
- Any student who is working harder than they should - Any child who spends hours on homework, & lingers on problems that should take less time. - Any child who just isn’t showing their potential in school – whether they are struggling or “just doing okay.” - And of course, any child with an IEP or 504 that wants to improve their learning skills.
What do we do? We teach academic skills through the development of the underlying skills needed for each academic skill. The Learning Continuum Shows graphically how we approach helping students in becoming confident, motivated and independent in school:
{
TLC covers ALL areas by: addressing the ROOT CAUSE of the learning problem, and then applying these skills to academic areas above the surface
Therapeutic Learning Center 990 Highland Drive | Suite 106-A info@therapeuticlearning.com
This SUMMER, we are HIGHLIGHTING MATH through the development of VISUAL-SPATIAL and REASONING skills. Math, in our new program, is the conduit for accessing skills and spurring growth in so many additional areas, including reading comprehension, writing content and executive function! Comparisons between baseline and post-program tests are showing incredible gains in all of these areas, and kids in grades 2-9 who have done the program, have been telling us things like, “Math is easy now!” and “I didn’t used to like math but now it’s my best subject.”

he RB Chorale’s annual summer show returns Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9 at Poway Center for the Performing Arts. This year’s theme is “The RB Chorale: A Celebration of 45 Years,” and will include some of the chorale’s most popular numbers since its founding in 1974. It’s also a special recognition of Pat Bean, founder and director, whose creativity and dedication have grown the chorale from 16 to 150 members over the years. In addition to making music, the chorale gives back to the community and provides a platform for young artists. The chorale awards scholarships every year to San Diego high school seniors who are planning to continue their musical education through college. This year’s six scholarship finalists will perform at the summer show, and audience votes will determine who wins first, second, and third place prizes each night. Last year, more than $17,000 was awarded to student musicians, and ticket

MT. CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT MARGO KAPP HELPS CHILDREN FOSTER A LOVE OF READING
M
t. Carmel High School student Margo Kapp has a love of reading, something she feels passionate about sharing with others, especially children. Margo established Books for Change, a club that is part of a larger nonprofit organization with the goal of exposing children to literature. “Books for Change is about giving children access to books to help foster a love of reading. We want this love of reading to remain strong throughout their lives, allowing for successful development and a bright future,” revealed Margo. In order to achieve this goal, Books for Change collects books that are donated to schools throughout the San Diego community, as well as Spanishlanguage books that are donated to specific locations in Mexico. Margo’s most successful book drive resulted in the donation of more than 600
books by Mt. Carmel students. According to Margo, the most challenging part of leading Books for Change so far has been organizing the book drive and dealing with the logistics of book collection. She was unsure how many books to expect, and the results were better than she ever could have imagined. “The most rewarding part of the project was helping kids who may otherwise not have access to books,” Margo stated. She established Books for Change on her own, an achievement she is proud of and that led her to being named a Sundevil Standout. “This award means a lot to me because I was recognized for being a student who treats people with kindness, works hard, and exemplifies the ‘Sundevil Way,’” she explained. In addition to being an avid reader and volunteer, Margo is also a star swimmer. She has been on Mt. Carmel’s varsity swim team since her freshman year. “Joining the swim team was quite an easy choice for me because I have enjoyed swimming for as long as I can remember,” said Margo. She has received accolades for her achievements in the pool, and she cites the varsity swim program as her favorite aspect of her Mt. Carmel experience. In her free time, Margo enjoys spending time with friends and family, as well as photography, a hobby that she shares with her older sister. Looking to the future, Margo hopes to attend a University of California school to pursue studies in either business or law. She also hopes to travel and experience the joy of learning about other cultures.

FINANCIAL PROFILE
San Diego Made WHEELHOUSE CREDIT UNION OFFERS FINANCIAL EXPERTISE TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY by KELLEY GUSICH
W
heelhouse Credit Union has a long history in the San Diego community. Beginning in 1934 as San Diego Municipal Employees Credit Union, the Credit Union was created by metropolitan workers seeking financial relief during the worst economic period in the nation’s history. “After a few iterations,” Wheelhouse President and CEO Lisa Paul-Hill explained, “over nearly a century (including most recently San Diego Metropolitan Credit Union), our name today – Wheelhouse Credit Union – is unique to a financial institution, and reflects who we are and what we have been to our members for over 85 years.” “As a member-owned, not-for-profit institution, we make decisions based on what is best for members and seek their input along the way,” shared Paul-Hill. Offering high-yield deposit products and low-rate loan products (like water conservation, energy efficiency, and solar loans), Wheelhouse received the 2017 Business of the Year Award for their Solar & Energy Efficiency Programs. Created in 2011 and one of the first solar lenders in California, the Energy Efficiency Program focuses on each homeowner’s energy saving needs. “We are proud of our green efforts resulting in a savings of approximately 105,795,420 kWh of electricity per year, which is the equivalent of saving 1,907,030 trees!” exclaimed Paul-Hill. Wheelhouse Credit Union is truly “San Diego Made,” comprised of employees and members who live and work in communities throughout San Diego. Wheelhouse also volunteers much time and energy locally. As the official credit union to the San Diego Seals professional lacrosse team, employees actively volunteer side-by-side with Seals players, most recently with Feeding San Diego and Read – Lisa Paul-Hill Across America. In addition, Wheelhouse staff gets involved with Toys for Tots, I Love a Clean San Diego Coastal Cleanup, Make-A-Wish, and San Diego EarthFair Balboa Park, as these events embody Wheelhouse’s commitment to giving back to the community. These team members are what makes the business different from traditional banks – it’s not uncommon to walk into a Wheelhouse branch and see the same familiar face you first met 10 or 20 years ago. “Our culture, teamwork, and collaboration are drivers of our success,” Paul-Hill affirmed. New and exciting things are happening at Wheelhouse Credit Union. The downtown branch is undergoing a total renovation, and Wheelhouse recently launched a new website with easy navigation and helpful financial tools. Accounts are accessible 24/7 with nationwide access to over 5,000 shared branches and more than 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs through the CO-OP® Network. Anyone living or working in San Diego County is invited to join Wheelhouse Credit Union. Check out the new high-yield checking, savings, and money market accounts bearing the name Inspired.

his year’s Fiesta weekend was a huge success, held May 4 and 5 here on the Rancho. Saturday morning, more than 1,200 runners and walkers with kids, strollers, and dogs came out to participate in the 11th Annual PQ5K Fun Run and Pancake Breakfast organized by Ken and Trish Wolsey of PQ.

The ranch is populated with several types of rescued animals who are cared for by disenfranchised and disabled children. Proceeds from the tournament will go to funding a one-day, outdoor afternoon of fun for 250 local foster youth through the nonprofit Voices for Children, field trips for children of military households through the Armed Services YMCA, a work-readiness internship for foster youth at San Pasqual Academy and at-risk youth from Abraxas High School and Warner Springs High School, a holiday shopping spree for Polinsky Children’s Center and the Armed Services YMCA whereby each child receives a $200 gift card to WalMart, and assistance in caring for Blue Apple Ranch’s rescued animals.

The Backyard Produce Project Helps Our Neighborhoods Give Back photos by Alex Williams Photography
26 • 92129MAGAZINE.COM • June | July 2019
T
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.
Jane Radatz
Q&A with
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. 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. June | July 2019 • 92129MAGAZINE.COM • 27
C O V E R F E AT U R E
The garden consists of 17 rows, each about 40 feet long, plus an adjacent orchard. It operates year-round. In the summer, we grow 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 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 will be Sunday, June 2, from 1 to 3 p.m. Community members are welcome. Our website www.backyardproduceproject.org has more information. 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.

Dr. Kami Hoss Reinvents Dental Education Through Howard Healthcare Academy by KELLEY GUSICH | photos provided by Howard Healthcare Academy
F
rustrated by the lack of training available for new dental assistants, Dr. Kami Hoss and his wife and business partner, Dr. Nazli Keri, decided to start a dental assisting school that would give students thorough knowledge and experience using current dental technologies and equipment. They founded Howard Healthcare Academy in partnership with The Super Dentists so students could learn from working dentists and dental assistants to earn their dental assistant certificate in just 10 months. With handson, practical training, Howard offers certification as a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA), Registered Dental Assistant – Extended Function (RDAEF) and Orthodontic Assistant Permit, plus compliance and continuing education classes. “Students can be confident that the certifications they receive from Howard Healthcare Academy are recognized throughout the State of California,” said Dr. Kami Hoss, co-founder of Howard Academy. The faculty at Howard includes co-founding Super Dentists Nazli Keri, D.D.S., and Kami Hoss, D.D.S, M.S. Lorena S. Meza, the Program Director of Howard Academy, is a Registered Dental Assistant, and a member of the American Dental Assistants Association (ADAA). She is also a Subject Matter Expert for the Dental Board of California reviewing curriculum for new dental schools that apply for board approval, as well as conducting audits for the schools once their curriculum is approved. “I want to make sure the dental profession has well-trained dental assistants doing their tasks correctly, honestly, and ethically,” Lorena said. “One of my favorite parts of teaching is hearing the stories about how my students got their first dental assisting jobs and were finally able to move out of their parents’ homes and buy their first cars.” Most Howard students come from across San Diego County. In December 2018, Brightwood College (formerly Kaplan College) in San Diego suddenly closed its doors, leaving its dental assisting program students stranded. The Howard team immediately reached out to help students – some of whom were at the end of their program – navigate their options, including offering discounts and scholarship opportunities. About 85% of those students ended up enrolling at Howard. Each student has the opportunity to interview with The Super Dentists, developing interview skills as another tool for securing employment. The team attends career fairs and hosts job shadowing events to educate high school and college-age students about careers in dentistry. Howard Healthcare Academy practices this mission: having graduates trained to walk into a dental office feeling confident and having the dental knowledge and skills necessary to be an immediate asset to their new employers’ dental practice.

Mind of Leonardo da Vinci: Artist, Scientist, and Thinker. Their task was to present an invention and extrapolate Leonardo da Vinci’s interpretation of it. Their inventive presentation involved an original script, complete with costumes, props, and scenery. They finished in first place at the regional level, which qualified them to continue to the state competition, where they placed second. Their hard work continued with fundraising efforts to attend the world competition at Michigan State University in late May, where they finished at rank 11 in their problem.

DIGITAL MUSIC: HOW CAN I CREATE IT? I
n the last decade the face of digital music recording has changed dramatically. Now, for a modest budget, a bedroom producer can have all of the tools necessary to make a great sounding recording. There’s only one issue… how do you use all this stuff?! Finding the DAW (digital audio workstation) that’s right for you can be a daunting enough task, but knowing the ins and outs of your software can take years to master without guidance. The best bet for any aspiring producer is targeted, hands-on training, customized to their program preferences, learning styles, and experience. YouTube might have a slew of videos, but it’s a distant second to an expert instructor with hands-on training. Luckily, Studio West employs a team of experienced engineers and producers that are happy to show students the ropes. One-onone instruction at Studio West offers aspiring creatives direct answers, not just to broad, easily searchable questions, but specific difficulties with workflow. Offering help in
topics including production and arrangement, mixing and recording, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio, the team of experts knows that one-on-one lessons leads to progress in tracks production fairly quickly. Studio West offers one-on-one instruction options to all ages in addition to their year-long post-secondary diploma in audio production. Another not-to-miss opportunity is the Youth Programs, offered over seven individual weeks of summer camps. Pair this with the school year Production Workshop – a quarterly collective of talented kids meeting once a week to produce incredible music – and your teen has a head start in this amazing industry. If you want to up your game, hands-on training is your best bet!

FUN FOR EVERYONE Belmont Park Has It All! by SAMANTHA EDWARDS | photos courtesy of 123rf.com
M
ission Beach’s iconic wooden Giant Dipper Roller Coaster has been a fixture in San Diego for nearly 95 years. While the coaster and some other historic elements of what was originally called the Mission Beach Amusement Center remain today, the modern-day Belmont Park is now equipped with everything your family needs for a full summer day of amusement and fun. Admission to the park itself is free – tickets for rides and attractions are available separately. For more information visit www.belmontpark.com.

In addition to classics like the roller coaster, a carousel, and bumper cars, Belmont Park is home to a number of thrill rides with names like Control Freak, Beach Blaster, Octotron, Tilt-a-Whirl, Vertical Plunge, and more.
Looking for more? Other exciting attractions include laser tag, rock climbing, a sky ropes course, an escape room, mini golf, arcade games, carnival-style games, and the Xanadu 7D Theater, complete with stunning digital effects and motion seats.
If all the fun has you working up an appetite, take a quick snack break with grab-andgo tacos, corn dogs, pretzels, burgers, pizza, ice cream, or Dole Whip. Or sit down to a heartier meal at one of the park’s three full-service beachfront restaurants.
Check out the local shops for everything from beachy clothes, bathing suits, and sunglasses to beach toys, towels, and souvenirs.
The park abuts the Mission Beach Boardwalk, which offers plenty of entertainment in its own right. You can rent bikes, roller blades, skateboards, surfboards, and anything else you might want for a day in the sun.
