:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 3, No. 6 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Five Years Already?
I
Derrick Breaux Publisher
t all started as an idea. We didn’t know exactly what we were about to get ourselves into. After months of napkin scratching (often accompanied by a glass of wine or two or three at one of our favorite local restaurants), we decided to pull the trigger and launch our first zip code magazine – 92127 Magazine. The initial issue of 92127 hit driveways back in November of 2009 – that’s right, we didn’t even mail them to houses in the beginning. We started mailing to all of the homes shortly thereafter. At least in my mind, the concept was simple and straightforward. We were going to “publish a magazine that people wanted to read.” As a matter of fact, that is still our company mission statement to this very day. After all, how hard could it actually be? The original concept was going to be “template-based” and easy to design. We would then be able to duplicate the template-based concept into other neighboring zip codes. Piece of cake, right? Well… not so fast. What we quickly discovered is that our “templatebased” concept was not going to be template-based after all. On the contrary, as we began to assemble the ZCode Team, we discovered that our talented crew of professionals had a burning desire to push the limits and make each issue better than the last one. In fact, they would have it no other way. Therefore, complete customization was in, and the templates were out. Complete customization allowed us to spotlight people, families, organizations, and businesses at the professional level that they deserved (and we envisioned). We wanted to create bigger-than-life editorial features that people would be proud of and keep for the rest of their lives – articles that are often found framed on their walls. An artistic editorial piece that would normally only be found in national magazines, but all compiled specifically for our local community and residents. That was the vision, and the incredible ZCode Team composed of editorial personnel, graphic designers, account executives, and our production coordinator came together to make it happen. Issue after issue, our team works hard to pull hundreds of pages of beautiful editorial content, advertisements, and community announcements together. The adrenaline rush of upload night (the night that we send the magazine to the printer) is not as strong as it once was. In the early days, it was not uncommon to watch the sun rise after a long night of final touches. Today, we rarely have to stay past 7 p.m. on upload day. But after five years of publishing ZCode Magazines – and a total of 190 issues across sixteen zip codes – we still get excited to kick our feet up and flip through the pages when the issue arrives. In fact, it’s a gift. It still amazes me how a team of nearly twenty people can efficiently work together to produce magazines that touch the heart and soul of the local communities. Thanks for being a reader and supporting 92130 Magazine! Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Beth and Alex Newton Emily Newton (12, 6th grade at Rancho Encinitas Academy) Rory Newton (15, 10th grade at Fusion Academy) Carmel Valley since 1999 Beth – New York, NY; Alex – Malibu, CA Stay-at-home parents Kiki – Yorkiepoo, Hope – Black Labrador Retriever, Sky – Border Collie, Angel – cockatiel, Hami – hamster Cinépolis, Which Wich, Panache Hair Salon
here’s never a dull moment for the active members of the Newton family. Beth, a native New Yorker, enjoys playing tennis and singing, and her husband, Alex, is a surfer who was once quite accomplished in the sport in his hometown of Malibu. “Our son, Rory, is a 10 th grader at Fusion Academy. He practices Muay Thai martial arts and loves weight training. Our
daughter, Emily, is a 6 th grader at Rancho Encinitas Academy. She dances and loves animals and art,” stated Beth. Alex and Beth met in Richmond, VA, where they both served as Public Affairs Officers for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The couple then moved to Los Angeles, where Beth worked as the public relations
manager for the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Alex continued to work for FEMA until their move in 1999 to Carmel Valley. “When we married and I became pregnant with Rory, we moved down to San Diego to be closer to my parents, who had relocated here from Queens, NY, in 1990. Alex took a position as a public affairs officer at the San Diego Water Authority,” said Beth. The two are now stay-at-home parents, who not only take care of their two children, but also three dogs, a bird, and a hamster. Although they have lived in many different places throughout the country, Beth and Alex are happy to be raising their family in Carmel Valley, finding the area to be very convenient to virtually anywhere in the city. They also feel fortunate to live close to Beth’s family. “My mother passed away about a year ago and now every Sunday, we have a family dinner with the four of us, my dad and my sister,” said Beth. In addition to spending time with family, the Newtons are dedicated to giving back to the community. Beth has been a long-time volunteer for the American Red Cross, and recently has become very involved in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). “In May of 2013, Emily was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Our lives shifted that day, and I now focus my volunteer efforts with the JDRF. They are a leading organization in the search to find a cure for type 1 diabetes,” revealed Beth. She encourages anyone interested in supporting the cause to participate in local events or contact the JDRF to find out how they can help. ¢

Carmel Valley 5K & Fun Run LOCAL 5K & FUN RUN CELEBRATES ITS THIRD YEAR
The
Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K & Fun Run is excited to announce their third annual event. New this year is their partnership with the Bay Club Carmel Valley, which will serve as the location for the start of the race as well as the host of the popular after party, recently renamed the “Bay Club Bash.” Race Director Katie Wilsey, a Carmel Valley resident and mother of four, expressed her excitement for the partnership, “The Bay Club has been so great for our family and has been such a great supporter of the Carmel Valley community, and so I’m ecstatic about this partnership!” The 5K & Fun Run will take place on Jan. 24 at 7:30 a.m. The race course will begin and end at 12000 Carmel Country Rd., located directly in front of the Bay Club. The Bay Club Bash will begin immediately after the race and will be held from 8 to 11:30 a.m. The post-party will include sponsor exposition booths, a silent auction, entertainment, jump houses, an award ceremony, and more. The race raises funds for schools located in Carmel Valley. Racers are given the opportunity to direct a portion of the race proceeds to benefit the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation, Solana Beach Foundation, Torrey Pines High School Foundation, Canyon Crest Academy, Carmel Valley Middle School PTSA, Earl Warren PTSA, Cathedral Catholic High School, Notre Dame Academy, San Diego Jewish Academy, or Del Mar Pines School.

OVERCOMING Shyness A SUCCESSFUL PIANIST AND BALLROOM DANCER HELPS OTHERS WHILE PLANNING FOR HER FUTURE by AMY LEHRER | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
E
lena Eroshkin loves playing the piano and dancing. For the past eleven years, she has taken piano lessons and has enjoyed classical music. She even earned the Advanced Piano Level Certificate of Merit from the Music Teacher Association of California this past year. Watching a ballroom dancing recording inspired her to take ballroom dancing. Elena reminisced, “[The couple] appeared to be from another era – frozen in a timeless dance – as they floated above the floor.” Over the last four years she has placed second in eight ballroom dance competitions and even earned the fourth title in the Pro-Am division of the Embassy Ballroom World Championships this past year.

her most memorable dance experiences occurred while she danced the tango in a final competition round. Nervous that the judge would subtract points and her own shyness limiting her, she became inspired when a friend yelled, “Go Elena!” She recalled, “I distinctly remember something inside me changed. When I opened my eyes, I became the dance.” Performing the tango pushed her to become limitless. Elena has excelled in another area as well. A Girl Scout since Kindergarten, Elena loves helping people. Elena shared, “I am very shy and quiet at school and at home, but when it comes to community service, I am always the loudest one in the crowd.” This past year Elena received the Gold Award for the SignWriting app she and her team developed. SignWriting is an alphabet with visual symbols representing the movements and hand shapes of any

sign language in the world. Elena was able to travel to Osnabruck, Germany to a school for the deaf to present her app to students who use SignWriting every day. She became aware of how much her app made a difference and was inspired by students finding beauty in small things. In the future Elena hopes to become a surgeon. Currently, her favorite subject in school is research methods, a class that conducts scientific research to learn fundamental concepts of research design and procedures. “I enjoy this subject because it challenges me to learn more and to think outside the box,” explained Elena. Elena plans to pursue a career and preserve time to practice her music and dancing. She advised, “The sky is not the limit; it is only the beginning of what can be achieved.” ¢

Sensational Scientist
CCA STUDENT EXCELS IN BROADCOM STEM COMPETITION
C
anyon Crest Academy freshman Daniel Bruce has certainly made his high school proud. Daniel was one of the national finalists in the 2014 Broadcom Master’s STEM competition. As a finalist, he competed in Washington, D.C. last month, presenting his research to judges as the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. “When I entered the science fair this year, I was excited for county fair and faintly hoped at the chance to go to state. I certainly never imagined continuing on to the national level, much less becoming a finalist,” shared Daniel. Daniel cites his fellow finalists as the best part of his trip to D.C. “By far the greatest part of the experience was getting to know all of the people I now consider my closest friends,” he stated. As for the experience itself, Daniel was extremely gracious. “I was honored and privileged to be nominated as the class speaker this year, and I was happy to be able to represent such an inspirational group. I was also given the second place prize for science,” he enthused. First and second place prizes were awarded for each subject in STEM as well as two rising star awards and two Samueli Foundation prizes. Daniel’s science project focused on the possible impact urban noise and human presence can have on birds in their coastal salt marsh habitat. He conducted his research and science fair work while he was an eighth grader at The Rhoades School in Encinitas. His science teacher Mrs. Roxanne Hunker is one of his greatest inspirations, who he expressed, “has made a very profound impact” on his life.

Dog Tales Two Women Publish a Book Together Based on Mutual Interests: Dogs and Humor by AMY LEHRER photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

K
ari Sherman and Carey Laubenberg met at the Torrey Highlands dog park. Pets, Max and Luther, and owners, Kari and Carey, bonded instantly. Within a year, these pet owners with similarities – same first name, age, sense of humor, and need for a new job – wrote their first book, self-published, created a website, and embraced social media. Kari shared, “This was quite a feat for two people with no writing background and a dread of current technology intimacy.” Their mantra for marketing the release of their first book, True Tails from the Dog Park, is “go big or go home.” “We have placed a long shot bet and hope our horse will come in,” related Kari. The stories, humorously narrated by Max and Luther – dogs who have become best friends – within True Tails from the Dog Park, took place at local dog parks and dog beaches. Each story is meant to entertain and provide advice for dog owners. “The beautiful illustrations by Julie Ann Stricklin,” revealed Kari, “are inspired by the original Winnie the Pooh cartoon series and add a touch of whimsy to the book’s overall feel.” Recently released on Oct. 15, True Tails from the Dog Park can be purchased at www.kariandcarey.com, www.maxandluther.com, www.amazon.com, and www.barnesandnoble.com.

Their love of dogs inspired Kari and Carey to write their book and support dogs. Max is Kari’s first dog as an adult, and she has learned much about him and his needs. Carey has owned numerous dogs. Both authors recently participated in the SNAP Bowling for Animals charity because they both advocate spaying and neutering pets to prevent overpopulation animal suffering. Before meeting, both women desired new careers. Kari had earned a dual major in accounting and finance and worked as a CPA and financial reporting manager for over twenty years. Carey, a personal trainer, had successfully opened and managed a gym with her husband Steve. Both authors offer advice for anyone interested in writing. Write about a passion, recognize that writing takes discipline, and write with a partner. Collaborating and editing each other’s work objectively allows both writers to improve their skills. Plans for more books are underway. Kari and Carey have almost completed True Tails II and plan to release it next May. They then plan to write a third True Tail book followed by Max and Luther’s Guide to Travel and Entertainment and a series of Max and Luther children’s books. ¢

RELAY FOR LIFER! MARINA LUKIC SEGEDY “RELAYS” OTHERS TO HELP FIGHT CANCER by LINDA FRABL | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
92130
resident Marina Lukic Segedy has devoted herself to the Relay for Life ever since its inception in downtown San Diego eight years ago. With the ultimate goal of finding a cure for cancer, the event features organized overnight community fundraising walks in which teams of people camp out around a track and take turns walking around it. Marina exclaimed, “I became involved when a good friend of mine asked me to join the event when it first started downtown, and I’ve been an active part of it ever since. I now spread the word about Relay for Life to my neighbors and try to get them involved!” Her responsibilities towards the event have varied each year, from being the PR chairperson, the food chairperson, a team captain, and a participant. Marina has also been on the planning committee for three years now. Marina proudly revealed, “When I was on the committee in 2011, it was the most successful year in the event’s history – $242,000 were raised, and there were over 1,000 participants!” The Downtown San Diego Relay for Life is the largest one in the city (there are twenty-seven total in San Diego county each year), and it is one of the top twenty Relay for Life events in the entire state of California. Marina’s favorite part of the Relay for Life is the Luminaria Ceremony, which takes place at night and features paper luminaries created by the participants. It is to honor those who have fought cancer, are fighting against cancer, or have survived cancer. Marina added, “Each participant does a lap in silence to honor all of those people, and candles are dropped into each bag, illuminating the entire track. It is such a memorable moment!” This January Marina will have her own memorable moment, when her first child, a baby boy, is due to be born. In the meantime, Marina, who is a director of client services at an advertising agency, will continue to hike through Torrey Pines, watch movies at Cinépolis, update her lifestyle and wellness blog at www.femmeindenim.com, and engage herself in more Relay for Life tasks. Marina cheerfully added, “The next Downtown San Diego Relay for Life is currently set for Aug. 22, 2015, so there is plenty of time to sign up and get involved!” ¢

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF 92130 Resident Writes Screenplay
92130 resident Sariann Monaco and Del Mar resident Sue Vicory have teamed up to create the film Absent. Absent, which is about a mother from New Jersey dealing with the loss of her child, was written by Sariann and directed by Sue. The film is based off true incidents and circumstances of the murder of a 12-year-old child and tells an inspirational story of loss and hope. Shot entirely in both Carmel Valley and Del Mar, the film’s script went to screen in a little over three months. Heartland Films, Inc., a 501(c)(3) production company based in both Carmel Valley and Del Mar, is the producing partner. The company was created by Sue in 2003 to produce films that educate, raise awareness, and inspire. The film was selected out of 130 entries by the 2014 Film Consortium San Diego Fall Film Festival and premiered in November. Absent has also been submitted into the Slamdance Film Festival and has received an invitation for the 2015 Telly Awards contention. For more information about the film visit www.facebook.com/absentthefilm.
Bags for Labs
Two 92130 eighth graders, Eve and Sarah, are making reusable grocery bags that benefit Lab Rescuers of San Diego, which finds homes and care for Labrador Retrievers in need. With the bags they hope to not only support Lab Rescuers and spread awareness about dogs that need to be rescued, but also to encourage more people to use canvas bags. “The idea was inspired by my love for Labs and for our earth. These bags will be especially useful when San Diego outlaws plastic bags next summer,” said Eve. “Bags for Labs has really opened up a new door in my life. It’s a great way for us to give back to the community and also be creative at the same time,” shared Sarah. The bags feature the consumer’s choice of dog (chocolate, yellow, or black Lab), the Bag’s for Labs logo, and a story about each pup. Bags are being offered for a $15 donation and can be purchased at Lab rescuer adoption events or directly from the girls at bagsforlabs@gmail.com.

Patrick Pickford, along with colleagues Gerly Noland and Danielle Greisen, was excited to start the project. “Eric is a very good friend of mine,” said Patrick. “It seemed like a perfect fit for us to collaborate on a Chargers-themed jewelry line in support of the cause and donate to those in need.” They plan to continue the collaboration with accessory items for men too. Eric and the designers say they have been overwhelmed by the support from the fans and the community response. “It means everything to give back to the community and those in need,” said Eric.

THE BLUE ANGELS TEACH KIDS HOW TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN WHILE ON THE SLOPES
n today’s society, there are greater expectations on kids participating in competitive sports. There’s pressure to impress both their coaches and their parents and to ensure that they maintain a certain level of play at all times. However, this type of performance is not always what the child wants, and as parents have witnessed first-hand, can take away from the blissfulness of their childhood. That’s where the Blue Angels Youth Ski and Snowboard Program steps in. Blue Angels offers an exciting and healthy program that focuses on the development of a child in an encouraging and enjoyable environment. Run by Heidi and Griff Emery, the Blue Angels Youth Ski and
Snowboard Program teaches children ages 7 through 16 any level of skiing or snowboarding. Heidi began Blue Angels in 1992 after participating in competitive racing and working

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT
“My goal with the Blue Angels program is to open this door to today’s youth in a nurturing, fun-filled environment so they can explore the wonders of these two amazing winter sports!” Heidi has done just that with the Blue Angels program. In five weeks, she creates skilled skiers and snowboarders who make new friends and have a blast on the slopes at the same time. Participants attend five consecutive day-long Saturday classes at the Mountain High Resort. “We offer a complete package with transportation, all day coaching (all ability levels), adult supervision on and off the slopes, lunch and snacks, with the consistency of the same coach for five full days,” explained Heidi. “Groups are matched based on age, ability, and sport, which can often be difficult to find when dropping in for a ski or snowboard lesson on a day-by-day basis.” Clients rave about the program. “Heidi is an amazingly caring and involved program director who literally moves mountains and keeps a close eye on the kids,” praised Rory B. whose son has spent five seasons with the program. Rory added, “He’s gained many other skills from his Blue Angels experience such as keeping organized, using judgment, observing changing weather conditions, and maintaining energy during a day-long ski trip.” Heidi and her team incorporate sponsor giveaway days, crazy helmet days, and even visits from professional athletes to add to the fun. They look forward to welcoming a new crop of children this winter and are confident it will be the most fun they’ve had all year. Packages cost $849 with bus pick-up locations in La Jolla and Carmel Valley. For more information visit the Blue Angels website at www.blueangelsnow.com.

S
an Diego’s brewing scene is booming these days, and we in North County are lucky enough to experience the best of the boom right here in our own communities. Craft breweries, also known as microbreweries, are independently owned and produce small amounts of beer,
allowing for higher quality and greater individualization than traditional breweries. Perhaps nowhere is this industry growing faster than in San Diego, which has become a beer-drinker’s dream destination – and not just for the beaches any more. Local breweries have been stepping into the international spotlight with their award-winning beers. The industry’s exhilarating growth shows no sign of slowing down. With the recent celebration of the 6th Annual San Diego Beer Week last month, we’re excited to offer an insider’s look at the best breweries North County has to offer. The craft brewers we speak to have a huge variety of differences in technique and taste, but they all share a deep-rooted passion for their products. We invite you to read along and see what the buzz is all about.

local beer TASTING
cheat sheet by TYLER MCELHANEY
W
e know, we know! You have been homebrewing for years now, and you and your friends will love the cascade hops you’re adding to the next batch of “John’s Love Potion Pale Ale,” but for the rest of us, we’ve compiled a quick guide of styles and explanations to some of San Diego’s more popular styles of beer. So the next time you’re ordering a flight of tasters,
go with a variety, and decide for yourself what you like in your beer. North County San Diego is on the forefront of the craft brewing revolution, so be sure you’re not left out of the loop.
Stout Stouts are dark beers usually made from roasted malt or roasted barley as the main source of flavor. While there is debate about the styles, stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest porters. The two styles have branched out to include hundreds of variations, but the basics remain: dark beers made from dark, roasted grains. Imperial stouts (or Russian Imperial stouts) have grown recently in popularity, especially in San Diego, for their high alcohol content (usually above 9%) and their dynamic flavor profile.
IPA, Pale Ale & Amber Ale India Pale Ale beers have quickly become the face of craft beer in San Diego and across the nation. Their bitter taste and sharp bite are synonymous with local flagship beers. The “pale” in pale ale beers refers to the pale malt used in brewing these types of beers. While differences between pale ales and IPAs usually lie in the latter, beer’s increased alcohol content and hoppiness, creative breweries push these boundaries increasingly. Local craft amber ales have a similar taste profile as a standard pale ale, with a sweeter flavor because of added amber malt during brewing. Variations of these styles include the Imperial IPA and Double IPA (also called a “San Diego IPA” outside of the area).
Wheat “Wheat” can cover a wide range of beers but are all brewed using a large proportion of wheat malt. Most wheat beers can often be categorized under Weizenbier, Witbier, and Sour styles. Weizenbier includes
Hefeweizen, a sweet and low hop beer that often includes citrus or spice notes. Witbier (“White Beer”) are similar, but use some additional fruit and spice notes and have a slightly more sour taste because of lactic acid. Sour beers are similar to Witbiers with added tart flavors and alterations to the brewing method.
Belgian While not a specific variation, Belgian or Trappist ales often share a common flavor profile (you’ve probably heard one of your friends comment “that tastes Belgian!”). Originating from monasteries across Europe, Belgian-style beer focuses on the balance between malt sweetness, hop bitterness, and aromas (usually fruity, spicy, or floral). Local beers brewed in this style are often called “abbey-style” ales as they don’t fit labeling requirements. Common styles that fall into this category are Enkel, Dubbel, Tripel, and even Quadrupel.
Pilsner & Lager While a pilsner (or pale lager) beer is a specific type of lager, these terms are often used interchangeably when referring to coldbrewed beer using bottom-fermenting yeast. Pilsners and American Lagers are often lightly hopped and aim for the highest level of drinkability. Because of the lower temperature of fermentation, these beers often have a cleaner, crisp taste. Local breweries have had success with variations of these styles to cater to the craft brewery lover’s palate. If you see an India Pale Lager on a menu in the future, be sure to give it a try!

d O’Sullivan credits his family’s Irish heritage and California creativity for the success of O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co. He and his brothers – Rob, Charlie, Jon, and Paul – formed the company in the spring of 2013. Ed, coming from a background in the biotech and finance industries, earned a professional brewer’s certificate at the University of California, San
Diego (UCSD) to prepare for running a brewery that combines science and artistry. “Our approach is to create thoughtful and cleverly constructed artisan craft ales and lagers that stimulate the palate and arouse the senses,” said Ed. “We will use science to control, monitor, and make intelligent decisions about our recipes and brewing process.

H
ave you ever been intimidated while beer or wine tasting because you’re surrounded by snooty “experts” who make you feel inferior? 92127’s Abnormal Company has built their business around dismantling that attitude. Co-Owners Matthew DeLoach, James Malone, and Elvin Lai, friends and fellow Poway High School graduates, have made their urban brew and wine industry business – which now includes a new beer
brewery, restaurant, and expanded winery – approachable, friendly, and fun! The owners are especially excited about their newly opened restaurant, The Cork & Craft. James shared, “We all love good food, and there’s nothing quite like a delicious meal paired with a glass of wine or craft beer. We are so excited that this adventure has now led us into the action-packed craft beer and restaurant worlds!”

innovation and keep our thoughts and processes open to creativity.” “We currently offer six beers, a wonderful refreshing West Coast pale ale, a nice delicate amber ale, a new-to-San Diego brown porter, a smoked porter, and a sweet stout,” he explained. “We are also planning to produce a red ale and an imperial stout, which will be available in January.” Further ahead, the brewery is also planning a number of special bottle releases for St. Patrick’s Day. When asked the overall philosophy behind O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co., Ed had only one answer: “Quality, quality, quality. In everything we do.” That quality is the result of caring and commitment from everyone involved with the company. “All our employees are part time and are passionate about brewing,” shared Ed. “Almost all of them are in the UCSD professional brewing certificate program.” O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co. is located at 9879 Hibert St. Suite F, San Diego, CA 92131. Visit www.osullivan-brothers.com to learn more.
Abnormal Company is also proud to soon bring its customers in-house produced beers focused on drinkability in addition to the extensive tap and bottle list they currently have. Their glass-enclosed brewery is expected to be up and running by the end of the year. Abnormal Company intends to brew during restaurant hours to provide customers with a sense of artistry and display of their craft. According to Co-Owner Matthew, the company’s beer will be “gluten-reduced, flavorful enough to sit gently on the palate, and will pair perfectly with fare offered by The Cork & Craft.” As The Cork & Craft’s mission is to elevate the concept of comfort food to a gourmet experience, this new brewery will encourage customers to think a little more about what they are drinking, try out new beer and food pairings, and dare to step out into the abnormal.

Karl Strauss Brewing Company arl Strauss Brewing Company has been a San Diego staple since 1986, when renowned brewery consultant Karl Strauss was approached by his cousin Chris Cramer and business partner Matt Rattner to start their own microbrewery. This was before the San Diegan craft beer renaissance we’re enjoying today. Karl’s skill and passion as master brewer drove the project to achieve incredible successes and delicious beers, and

that momentum continues to this day. Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s attention to quality and consistency had a ripple effect across the entire San Diegan beer community, and is partly responsible for the vibrancy of today’s industry. Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s Sorrento Mesa location has been sharing their passion for craft beer since 1994. Located in the San Diego Tech Center, the gorgeous, oriental-inspired 8,950-square-foot facility offers a unique beer
oasis. The location was remodeled in April of this year and features a koi pond, gardens, open patio spacing, and a wraparound deck, which all contribute to the festive beer-garden atmosphere. In addition to the facilities on-site, the location has an R&D nano-brewery, ten beers on tap, Sunday beer brunch, and a knowledgeable staff of craft beer enthusiasts. The brewery hosts weddings and other private events on Sundays. Karl Strauss hit the North County scene in 1999 with the opening of its Carlsbad location in 1999. Ten rotating beers on tap, a full-service bar, and brewery tours are available every day for the beer enthusiast and novice alike. In 2012, 4S Ranch became the newest community to enjoy a Karl Strauss outpost. The brewery restaurant debuted with a brand-new onsite microbrewery and serves a rotation of handcrafted beers. Brewery tours are coming soon – call 858-376-2739 for availability and reservations. Discover more at www.karlstrauss.com.

allast Point was born in the back room of Home Brew Mart, a supply store for home brewers owned by Jack White. In 1996, he teamed up with fellow home brewer Yuseff Cherney for a homegrown venture that would grow into the Ballast Point Brewery known and loved by San Diegans today. Ballast Point outgrew the back room and moved to its current Scripps Ranch location in 2004. Their efforts have produced internationally recognized results. At this year’s World Beer Cup, Ballast Point won a Gold Medal in the International Pale Ale Category for their Sculpin IPA, as well as a Bronze in the Aged Beer Category for their 2012 Aged Navigator Doppelbock. The name Ballast Point and the names of most of their beers come from Jack and Yuseff’s other passion – fishing. The team takes this passion very seriously, and the business’ two award-winning sport fishing teams have proved that in competition. In addition to mastering the arts of brewing and fishing, Jack and Yuseff have begun exploring the ancient craft of distilling. Seven Ballast Point spirits are now made and bottled at the same Scripps Ranch location. Check out www.ballastpoint.com for more.

The Solution 2Good2B® Bakery & Café’s slogan is based on Diana’s life experience:
Eat Smarter • Feel Energized • Enjoy Life®
2Good2B Bakery & Café 2Good2B® Bakery & Café Lets Customers Eat Well and Still Stay Allergy-Free The Why “As doctors start to understand that many diseases are associated with food allergies, the number of people that seek gluten-free foods is increasing,” asserted Diana Benedek, PhD, Founder and CEO of 2Good2B® Bakery & Café with locations in both Encinitas and the Gaslamp quarter – and she should know. With a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Immunology, and a PhD in Engineering, Dr. Diana understands better than most the effects of food on the body, and as one who suffered all her life from migraines, which with time turned into fibromyalgia, cervical herniated disks, Hashimoto disease (hypothyroid), slow adrenals, and depression, she knows first-hand how debilitating those effects can be.
After years of searching for solutions, she understood that the cause is no other than gluten, corn, and soy! And that the only thing she had to do to get her life back was to stop eating all three of these. “In my case, my fibromyalgia was only 60% better by removing gluten and soy, I only got rid of all the pains, got my energy back and started to enjoy my life when I stopped eating all grains (except for rice). This included corn, oats, millet, sorghum, and teff even the “gluten-free” ones. As Diana started searching for gluten-free foods she found that most contained either corn or soy or both, that the taste and texture of these foods were below her standards, and that most restaurants offer some options, but that she would still get sick because of cross contamination in the back kitchen.
44 • 92130Magazine.com • December 2014 | January 2015
Although Diana was known in San Diego for her PhD in engineering and expertise in water treatment, once “cured” she put her renewed energy into helping others with the same challenges. She brought together the best pastry chef and the best bread master chef to develop gluten, corn, and soy-free food that tastes, looks, and feels like it is supposed to be. 2Good2B® is now offering more dairy-free, vegetarian, and paleo options to their healthconscious customers that want to stay healthy by fighting inflammation. This comfortable locale, where 50% of its customers are not gluten-free, has won many awards for the quality of their food, proving that Diana’s team succeeded in their mission. “Although in the past I was internationally recognized for my pastries baked with traditional flours, I am proud to say that we have developed recipes that would stand out even against traditional desserts,” stated Chef Rodney LoveJones, General Manager. This local café & bakery is in full expansion. It now has a branch in downtown San Diego and has been approved to sell franchises across the U.S.

Managing Holiday Stress FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU COPE by DAVID LAVINE, MD; Scripps Clinic, Carmel Valley
The countdown to the holiday season has started, and while most of us look forward to enjoying the festivities, heightened demands and the pressure to “do it all” often bring unwelcome stress. Shopping, baking, parties, and volunteering can throw you into a dizzying whirl of activity that can wreak havoc on your health and emotional well-being. This year, take a deep breath and try these practical tips to minimize stress and enjoy the fun.
1. Feel free to say no. Don’t overbook yourself. Fitting in family obligations, school holiday events, and finding the perfect gifts can seem overwhelming on top of an already busy schedule. Look at your to-do list and decide what you “must” do versus “want” to do. You may need to cross off a few items, but that will give you time to rest and recharge.
2. Spend time with people you care about. Connecting with family and friends is important, and it doesn’t have to be elaborate. Have a potluck get-together with neighbors and watch old movies. Maybe bake holiday treats with the kids. Consider decorating the Christmas tree with nostalgic ornaments or eating latkes after lighting the Chanukah menorah. Or keep it simple and catch up over a cup of your favorite holiday beverage.

3. Make healthy choices. While the holidays are infamous for calorie-laden treats, that doesn’t mean you have to give up altogether on healthy eating. By all means, enjoy the tastes of the season, but if you overeat one or two days, make sure you quickly get back into your healthy routine and maintain good eating habits. If you feel you won’t be able to cheat a little, then take a step back from the buffet table and load up on salads with one or two goodies. Remember to drink lots of water and limit alcohol consumption.
4. Stay active. Exercising every day – whether you walk your dog, run on the beach, or take a yoga class – will help you stay calm during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Prolonged physical activity releases endorphins, or brain chemicals that act as natural pain and stress relievers, so your aerobics class is the last thing you should skip.
5. Get enough sleep. Trying to maintain a hectic holiday schedule can make it challenging to get enough sleep, but those necessary hours of shut-eye help you stay alert and have enough energy to enjoy the season.

:::: IN OUR OWN BACKYARD
PARADING
AROUND SAN DIEGO Local Traditions Keep the Holiday Cheer Alive
S
by LAINEY KRAL
an Diegans may not experience classic white winters, but we still know how to celebrate the season. In fact, our sunny weather makes December an even better time to take our holiday cheer to the streets. From people to pets and from shore to sea, San Diego has a parade perfect for everyone. Head to North Park on Dec. 6 for the 51st Annual North Park Toyland Parade, a local tradition that dates back to 1936 and was reborn in the late 1980s. Every year, University Ave. fills with marching bands, dance teams, beauty queens, local dignitaries, and community members eager to strut their stuff. Special guests include the new Queen of the North Park Toyland Parade and Santa Claus himself. You won’t want to leave Toyland, and you won’t have to – the Toyland Festival will prolong the magic with pony rides, inflatables, food trucks, and live musical performances. Parades aren’t just for people, and your fourlegged friends can join the fun in the Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade on Dec. 14. Dress up in your holiday best and promenade through the historic Gaslamp Quarter with a bevy of other celebrants, starting and ending at the Gaslamp Hilton Park. Awards are available in categories such as Best Pet Costume, Cutest Critter, and Ugliest Holiday Sweater. Pets and their human chaperones will get a free bag of goodies at the accompanying Pet Expo. San Diego is known as a surf and turf hotspot, and the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights keeps the holiday spirit afloat – literally! On Dec. 14 and 21, over eighty illuminated boats will proceed from Shelter Island past Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, and Ferry Landing in Coronado. Participants will bedeck their boats in lights and decorations according to this year’s theme of “Children’s Stories”. Various award categories are judged on creativity of lighting, music, and other special effects. Whether sailing your own boat or camping out on the shore, watch the water come alive with light and sound.

rt is flourishing at the Carmel Valley Library with the library’s arts and craft program. Run by local Torrey Pines High School students who formed the club Art in Motion at their school with the intentions of teaching art to children, the program teaches and encourages students to become passionate about art and the important role it plays in our lives. The club was fashioned in response to the decline in funding for art programs in California’s schools. The program is geared for children in kindergarten through sixth grade, however, all children are welcome, and specializes in individual, one-on-one attention. Making a little mess for the sake of art is encouraged. The program takes place on the second and fourth Wednesdays and Fridays of the month. For more information about program dates and more contact the library at 858-552-1668.

TOOTH-HEALTHY FOOD DECISIONS by DR. CHRIS PHAM, Carmel Valley Pediatric Dentistry
W
e have all heard that sugar causes cavities. As parents, we go to great lengths to feed our children a healthy, wellbalanced diet. However, there are days that feel a little out of our control. Between snacks, running errands, parties at school, grocery store samples, and everything in between, it’s no wonder that cavities are on the rise. Bacteria that are responsible for cavities convert sugars into acid. Many forms of sugars are utilized by these bad dental bacteria and then the problems begin. When looking at your children’s diet, look at food types that have specific characteristics. For example, Sour Patch Kids, fruit snacks, and dried apricots are all very sticky. It is like gluing the sugar right to your teeth! These types of food have a high retention rate and keep the acid levels in the mouth higher for longer. The risk for cavities is then increased. Another way that cavities creep in is through frequency of eating, snacking, or grazing. Our
12395 El Camino Real # 218 858-259-0331 San Diego, CA 92130
little ones have small stomachs and it feels like they constantly are asking for something to eat. We want them to grow to their full potential, and so we sometimes will give them something to eat upon request. This “on demand” feeding pattern leads to acid levels being higher for longer and increases risk for cavities. Three meals and a few planned healthy snacks can be enough to keep our kids growing strong and staying active. What about all of those hidden sugars? Dental bacteria use carbohydrates as their food source. Many processed foods such as crackers, chips, and juice or high-sugar drinks are already in a form that the bacteria can use right away. Many of these forms of food are marketed as “healthy” and “natural,” but as far as the dental bacteria are concerned it’s food, food, food for cavities! These decisions can be time-consuming and confusing. The goal here is to simplify that process and give you the ability to determine whether the food or snack is healthy for your teeth.
Tooth friendly snacks ideas: º Raw or cooked vegetables. º Fruits and vegetables with high water content like apples, pears, melon, berries, carrots, broccoli, cucumber, and celery. º Meats and aged cheeses like Monterey Jack, cheddar, and Swiss. º Hummus with vegetable sticks. º Whole wheat toast with peanut butter. º Cottage cheese or low-fat Greek yogurt. º Unsalted nuts like pumpkin or sunflower seeds. We understand that sometimes tooth-healthy eating can be difficult. When the healthiest options aren’t possible, having the kids drink water after eating and snacking is a great alternative. This will help clear foods from the teeth and dilute the sugars. The goal is to keep acid levels low and keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime!
Tips for healthy teeth: º Steer clear of “on demand” snacking and grazing – liquids or solids. º Look for the hidden sugars – they are in more foods than we first realize.

How to Respond to a Volatile Market Environment by Richard H. Fogg, CFP® President & CEO
T
here’s no denying that the stock market can periodically give investors a scare. We were reminded of this again in October when the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 900 points in under a week – its worse drop since early 2014. When such dramatic movements occur, some people react by running from the market and moving money out of stocks. They’re inclined to wait for the investment environment to improve. The problem is that by the time many investors regain confidence in the market, they’ve already missed a good portion of the recovery stocks may have enjoyed.
returns may be. While you can limit market risk by reducing the percentage of stocks in your portfolio, it also may make it more challenging for you to achieve your investment goals.
How should you manage your portfolio in times when markets are experiencing significant volatility? A starting point is to conduct an honest assessment (or reassessment) of your tolerance for investment risk. And it should be more than a theoretical exercise. You need to be realistic about how much of a loss you are willing to take in your portfolio over a short-term period. Conducting this assessment may guide what percentage of your portfolio you want to keep invested in the stock market.
For those who are at least ten years from retirement, there is little reason to become overly concerned when the market goes through its inevitable periods of volatility. Sometimes these up-and-down swings can be a bit unnerving. What’s most important is to position your portfolio in a way that is consistent with your long-term investment objectives and the amount of fluctuation you can live with. In fact, a market downturn can be an opportunity to put more money to work in stocks at more attractive prices.
There are two important points to remember as you assess your risk tolerance:
1. If you have years to let your portfolio work, there is a greater likelihood that losses you sustain in the market over a short period of time could be recovered.
2. The less you are willing to risk in the stock market, the more modest your investment
The key is to find the happy medium – a level of risk that allows you to sleep at night, while still having a sufficient amount invested in stocks to keep you on track to reach your goals. Your age and investment time horizon have a lot to do with how you should prepare to deal with volatile markets.
IF YOU’RE FOCUSED ON ACCUMULATING WEALTH, TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE.
IF YOU’RE CLOSING IN ON RETIREMENT, YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK. The last decade before retiring is not a time to take chances. Many people learned this lesson the hard way during the market downturn of 2008. Those planning to retire near that time who had most or all of their money in stocks saw their nest eggs take a
significant hit. It can make sense to re-allocate some assets in your portfolio to traditionally less risky asset classes (such as bonds and cash) to reduce your risk exposure as retirement nears. But given the likelihood that retirement could last twenty to thirty years (or longer), most retirees still want to have a portion of their money invested in stocks. The level of return equities can generate is critical to meet the income needs over an extended period of retirement.
STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR LONG-TERM GOALS. Significant moves in the stock market (in either direction) can be a serious distraction when it comes to achieving your ultimate financial goals. Don’t let the headlines of the day carry too much influence over your investment strategy. Try to keep your portfolio on a steady course. Volatile periods in the market can create good opportunities to either invest more or to adjust your portfolio as needed. But make sure any investment decisions you make are in the long-term interests of achieving your financial objectives. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an index containing stocks of thirty LargeCap corporations in the United States. The index is owned and maintained by Dow Jones & Company.

:::: ASK THE PHARMACIST
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY: SHEDDING NEW LIGHT ON AN OLD MYTH Are you a female between the ages of thirty to fifty years of age, wondering why you’re experiencing… • Migraines • Insomnia
• Mood Swings • Hot Flashes
• Weight Gain • Acne
• Fatigue • Decreased Sex Drive
Are you pre/post-menopausal and suffer symptoms because you fear estrogen or other hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) may lead to breast cancer? Or have you gone through menopause over ten years ago and think there is no need or benefit in HRTs? Do you think, or have you been told that these symptoms are just an expected sign of aging? How many of you see an eye doctor and ask to have the vision of a 70-year-old, when understandably we’d all like to have the vision of a 30-year-old? Why should treating hormone deficiencies be any different? Bio-identical hormone therapy may reduce cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, hot flashes and many other conditions previously thought to be normal signs of aging. Did you know many of the concerns associated with HRTs have been linked to synthetic hormones Premarin and Provera (medroxyprogesterone) – NOT bio-identical hormones? Results of a French twelve-year study of 80,000 women showed NO increased cancer risk in women using bio-identical estrogen and progesterone therapies when compared to women using no hormones. Women using bio-identical HRT may enjoy relief from many of the pre/post-menopausal symptoms, both minor and major, once dosing of each hormone is in proper balance. Starting as early as your late 20’s and through to your late 40’s, females can start to significantly reduce the production of progesterone compared to estrogen, leading to what is known as “Estrogen Dominance.” Symptoms can include: • Irregular Menses • Insomnia • Mood Swings • Hot Flashes • Weight Gain of Hips and Thighs
• Breast Tenderness • Acne • Migraines
We urge those who are seeking information or just curious about what HRTs can do for them to call or come into Carmel Valley Pharmacy and speak with our staff. Many retail pharmacies don’t compound, so many patients are often times unaware of how compounded medication like HRTs can improve quality of life. For many, becoming educated can be the first step in a positive, life-improving direction. As society moves forward in scientific achievements it is time to throw out old ways of thinking and embrace new medical approaches that may allow us to live our lives to the fullest.

Spread Some Holiday Cheer
SUPPORT OUR ENLISTED TROOPS BY GIVING BACK WITH BELLS OF FREEDOM
B
ells of Freedom will kick off two events during the holidays to bring a little extra holiday cheer to local enlisted men, women, and their families: Trees for Troops and the Big Thank You. Trees for Troops provide Christmas trees to military members. Donations are $50 and will brighten a military family’s holiday with a six to seven foot tree at the Camp Pendleton and/or Miramar bases in your name. Bells of Freedom also welcomes the thirteenth year of the Big Thank You, where community individuals, groups, and corporations are offered the opportunity to adopt an enlisted military family in need. This support includes a $150 debit card or gift card to the enlisted parents, five gifts for each child chosen from a wish list, and a holiday basket that serves as a personal reflection of the sponsor individual or group. The sponsors are given the opportunity to personally meet their “adopted” family at Camp Pendleton on Dec. 7 to present their gifts and show their support. For those sponsors who wish to adopt a family but need help shopping, preparing, and delivering their packages, the Bells of Freedom volunteers will take care of these responsibilities. Family adoptions start at $350 for a family of three and are available now. Visit www.bellsoffreedom.org or call 858-792-1003 to donate to either the Trees for Troops or the Big Thank You. Bells of Freedom reminds you that either way you decide to donate will help show those who sacrifice each day to protect our freedom just how much you care.

RideSafe 92130 RESIDENT DEVELOPS APP TO TEACH SAFE DRIVING CHOICES TO TEENS
92130
resident and software developer Travis Niedosik has found a creative way to teach teenagers safe driving choices. Travis created RideSafe, a user-friendly app available for Android phones that helps condition teenagers into understanding the importance of safety behind the wheel. “The app detects when the user is going faster than fifteen miles per hour. When they are, incoming phone calls are automatically sent to voicemail and texts cannot be read. The user cannot access any of his/her typical apps,” Travis explained. Unlike other apps that familiarize drivers with riding safely, this app actually controls the phone so the driver cannot distract himself or herself while behind the wheel. The app requires no additional hardware to use and can be easily downloaded from the Google Play store for free. According to Travis feedback has been very positive so far. “The app is easy to install, and, for the most part, users don’t even know it’s there. That is, until you need it of course. Over time users naturally go to their phones less often and the app becomes almost invisible,” he shared. Travis’ short-term goal is to develop a healthy user base to provide feedback on the app. He also would like to expand the app into a full-service phone control system for parents of teens. Travis elaborated, “For example, the app will allow parents to control the apps their teens can use, how long they can use them, review how long they use various apps, and control what they are allowed to do with certain apps.” Visit www.krevrock.com to learn more about RideSafe.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
3rd Quarter Slow Down Turns into 4th Quarter Boom!
T
he first half of 2014 proved to be very strong for real estate in San Diego. Homes were only lasting a few days on the market, often receiving multiple offers and over-asking price sales! We attribute this to families moving from and into different school districts along with homes appreciating after the long downturn, which saw sellers listing homes at an increasing rate. However, why the sudden stop in sales? Quite frankly no one knows, but we speculate on some of the obvious signs. Buyers found their homes earlier than usual while sellers saw the increase in their home values and decided to sell. Summertime typically marks a heightened home buying season, and once the dust settled most people elected to enjoy the splendid San Diego summer and the fun that comes with it! Meanwhile, several sellers either missed the market surge or had their homes priced out of reach. This fact contributed to a slowdown in sales. The slowdown in the third quarter had sellers rethinking their pricing and gradually lowering their price. We hit the fourth quarter with a flood of price reductions, and,
coupled with new inventory, it was off to the races! The market growth continues to rise as interest rates remain low... buyers are back! “With the election cycle behind us and 2015 well within sight, it’s a good time to start assessing how the market is shaping up. Inventory levels are finally rising in many areas and demand is still strong in most segments.” – Excerpt from San Diego Association of Realtors

:::: HOME TIPS
Mostess The Hostess
with the
Guidelines for the Holidays
by TORI MORRISON
I
f you have been chosen to host this year's Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve cocktail party, you've been given one of the best gifts of the holiday season – the chance to share this special time of the year with your loved ones and transform it into an unforgettable occasion. In today's fast-paced society, it can be difficult
to sit down and start planning for the holidays, but it's also a time to embrace that challenge and transform a holiday party into the holiday event of the year. Don't fret, we are here to help you slip into those hostess with the mostess shoes with the ease and grace of a seasoned professional. Here are some tips, tricks, and ideas that guarantee your guests will have a good time this holiday season.
Preparations
Party Time
1. Fancy touches
1. Choose the mood
• Crystal dishes make a great impression, even if they are filled with appetizers you took straight out of the bag. • Play with the center pieces. Accents, including wood, pine cones, ornaments, and candles, offer much more than a traditional bouquet of flowers.
• Always remember that the mood or vibe you give off are what set the tone of the party.
2. Introduce other guests
• It adds to the ambiance, contributes to conversation, and makes everyone feel more comfortable.
• Encourage others to embrace it too and make sure your topics are inclusive.
2. Perfect that playlist
• You’ve brought everyone you love to celebrate this special occasion so make sure they get to know one another.
3. Embrace conversation
3. Love those lists
4. Snap away
• Keep a to-do list on hand or stick Post-it notes around the house to remind you of tasks you need to complete before guests arrive.
• Take photos of the event... heck, take a video! You can use them to review what ended up being successful and what could be improved upon. This will stop you from repeating dishes and let you know which friends get along well.
4. Food selection
• Some of your friends will have special dietary needs, others are just really picky. With food it’s best to stick with simple and delicious. It’s also important to remember your vegan friends and ensure you have fare they will enjoy too.
5. Don’t dirty the dishwasher
• Unload that helpful machine to prepare for the dirty dishes ahead.
64 • 92130Magazine.com • December 2014 | January 2015
5. Be gracious
• Thank your guests for coming by handing out party favors. Not only will this make them feel special, it’s also a great way to end the evening on a positive note.
