:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 1, No. 7 TM
Anticipation
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Do you remember how exited you were to open presents as a child? The buildup… The anticipation… Wondering what was in that beautifully wrapped gift. When we were kids, there was a special magic that was in the air when it came to the holiday season and our own birthdays. We all wanted to open our gifts so bad – we could hardly take it. The thought of having to wait until after dinner devastated us. As a child, we simply didn’t think we’d survive if we had to wait. I look at the start of a new year in much the same way. It brings back the kid in me to wonder what’s in store for the next 365 days. As we grow older and reflect on our past, many times we categorize our life in years (decades for those of us that have more years under our belts). We often reminisce about certain years of our lives – some we hold high and close to our hearts while other years prove to challenge us in ways that we may prefer to put behind. The permanent memory of some years are a given – the year that you graduated, the year that you bought your first house, the year that you got married, or the year that you moved to San Diego are all fine examples. For me, there are a few years that stand out above the rest. More specifically, 1999 and 2001 are two top years in my life that I must confess having a difficult time ranking 1st or 2nd. I met my wife in 1999 and we got married in 2001. It’s tough to decide which year I hold closer in my heart – they were both great! I suppose it’s a tie. Other years that highly impacted my life were the years my children were born, the year that we moved our family to 4S Ranch, years that distinct milestones were accomplished professionally, and the year that we started 92127 Magazine (the first of the nine ZCode Magazine titles). Even though we are already a month into 2013, I feel like a little kid wondering how the gift of this new year will ultimately end up ranking in our overall life story. What is in the box? Will we look back at 2013 with special memories? Does 2013 have great things in store for my family, my close friends, my colleagues? While children don’t always appreciate the time spent during dinner while waiting to open their gifts, as an adult I’ve grown to appreciate each of the days that it takes to make each year one to remember. Happy New Year. May 2013 be a year that you hold close to your heart! Derrick Breaux, Publisher

fter having lived in Florida for twentyseven years, Julie Limerick moved within walking distance of Torrey Pines High School when her daughter made the decision to attend UCSD as a Visual Arts, Digital Media Film major and requested they move to California together. Julie explained, “I spent a year researching, preparing, and applying to over 1,000 high schools from here to Santa Barbara. It was my good fortune to end up at Torrey Pines.” She’s appreciated the supportive attitude of the administration and Foundation whenever she’s requested sharing student artwork with the school or community. The faculty at Torrey Pines, meanwhile, probably feels the fortune is all theirs. Julie teaches visual arts, specifically Sculpture, Draw/Design, and AP 2-D and 3-D. In addition, she is the VPA
department co-chair and the faculty sponsor for the National Art Honor Society. Because the visual arts need to be viewed to be enjoyed, Julie reaches out to local businesses. She’s found that many are willing to exhibit work for a week or even a month. In addition, many are also willing to hold receptions and help publicize the events. Over Thanksgiving week, Julie collaborated with Brenda at the Del Mar Highlands new décor and gift shop, Let’s Go Home, to hold a reception and exhibit advanced placement 3-D sculptures. During the month of December, student artwork was displayed on the walls of Dr. Bayrak’s Chiropractic Clinic. Additionally, the Del Mar Art Center hosted an art show for a select group of students being chosen for an art scholarship. Julie revealed, “I think one of the most rewarding things for me
18 • 92130Magazine.com • February | March 2013
as a long time visual arts teacher is seeking out these exhibit opportunities so that my students can share the accomplishments of which they are most proud.” Not surprisingly, many of her students study art in college and eventually become professional artists. On her own time, Julie loves to read, attend art museum and gallery openings, spend time with her daughter and friends, travel, practice yoga, and power walk along the beautiful tree lined paths of Torrey Pines. She’s been a jewelry artist since the mid-1970s with skills ranging from stone setting to originally designed goldsmith fabrications. And for the last several years, she’s been a visiting visual arts examiner for the International Baccalaureate Organization, which has given her the opportunity to meet many talented artists who amaze and inspire her.

Kids That Rock—The Santana Brothers Take San Diego by Storm by KELLEY GUSICH
T
he power of music is an incredible thing, but never more so than when it can help give someone the ability to communicate. The Santana Brothers Rock Band is a premiere example. They are a seven piece rock band whose ages range from fifteen to seven, and their lead singer , Nathan Santana, must deal with a special set of challenges—Autism and Epilepsy. The four Santana brothers—triplets Brendan, Alexander, and Nathan, along with their older brother Daniel , discovered their musical interests when studying at Rock and Roll San Diego School of Music. Director Mark Langford discovered Nathan’s stellar voice and pitch at a 2012 Christmas concert, but there were concerns as to whether Nathan could remember the lyrics due to seizures. When they found out Nathan’s seizures did not affect the part of his brain where the lyrics were stored, the band was off and running! Nathan uses his time with the band to work with his autism and improve his public speaking skills, social aptitude and eye contact. They added the Leon family—Julian, Catrina, and Melissa—to their lineup and started playing all over town. Each band member is dealing with a hectic schedule. They all swim together competitively for Pacific Swim, and in addition to that and school, they take one private class per week in their respective instruments, and one group class/rehearsal per week directed by bass teacher Kevin Freeby. He and a group of teachers that includes Bob Sale for drums, vocal coach
20 • 92130Magazine.com • February | March 2013
Stella Lindgren, and choreography and performance class Gabriela Santana, combine to prepare this high energy and entertaining band. The band plays regularly at Kobey Swap Meet on Sundays. They have performed at Old Town Cinco de Mayo Festival, Serra Mesa Street Fair, San Diego County Fair, Balboa Park December Nights, La Mesa’s Christmas in the Village, Kid’s Expo, KUSI and Fox news, along with En Vivo cable show and several private parties. The band wants to gain fans by playing as much as possible, so check them out at Kids Expo April 27th, March 2nd at Little League Opening Day Del Mar & Solana Beach, Thursday nights at Back to the 50’s Classic Car and Bike Show from June – August in downtown La Mesa, or at Kobey’s Swap any Sunday there isn’t a swim meet! ¢

S
he’s got the whole world in her hands! Torrey Pines High School senior Natalie Wynne has accomplished more in her years as a student as some people do in a lifetime. The only child of Amy and Howell Wynne of Rancho Santa Fe, Natalie is involved in everything from sports, to theater, to peer assistance groups, to traveling abroad on a mission. It seems that Torrey Pines High is a good fit for a student like Natalie. “I like that Torrey Pines is academically challenging but also has so much to get involved in. The best part of my high school experience has been being involved in so many different programs and activities. I was on the freshman and JV volleyball team, participated in theater in the 2011 fall drama, have been in PALS for three years, and am in leadership of two different clubs,” explained Natalie. PALS stands for the Peer Assistant Listeners program, a group of students who selected Natalie as the President for this school year. The PALS program helps new students adjust, runs schools tours and other student activities. Natalie was also selected to be a student ambassador for the College Fair Night.

New Year’s Resolutions for a Healthy, Beautiful Smile!
T
he New Year is upon us and a lot of us have made resolutions to lose weight, be more organized, be a better friend or get a healthier life! Many of us make new goals for a healthier life. So doesn’t it make perfect sense to make some New Year’s Resolutions pertaining to your dental health and a beautiful smile? Let me help you get started:
1. Brush and Floss Daily: Brushing and flossing protect your teeth from harmful bacterial plaque that can cause tooth decay (cavities), bad breath and periodontal disease (gum infection), which has been linked to affecting our general health as well.
2. Eat a Well Balanced Diet: Proper nutrition will provide you with good immunity. Eating a well balanced diet will reduce susceptibility to gum disease and tooth decay. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes
as they improve your body’s ability to fight bacteria and inflammation...
3. See Your Dentist for a Cleaning & Exam: Seeing your dentist a minimum of twice a year for regular exams allows them to address areas of concern on a timely basis, prevents more involved & expensive treatment, and keeps track of your dental hygiene maintenance regimen.
4. Have a Cosmetic Consultation: If there is something about your smile that has been concerning you or bugging
you, let 2013 be the year to get a cosmetic consultation. There are a lot of simple solutions for a huge difference in your smile. Come in for a Complimentary Consultation and see what we can do for you!

he story of the Hastings family began when parents Christian and Camille met at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where Camille was studying performance and songwriting and Christian was majoring in film scoring and guitar performance. After graduation, the two set out for Nashville where they lived for nine years. “Between the two of us, we have performed with artists such as Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Bonnie Raitt and Bo Diddley,” said Christian. Camille and Christian now live in Del Mar with their three children (Marissa, Johnny and Miles), but music is still a huge part of their lives. Christian plays in The Christian Hastings Band, and Camille owns Leading Note Studios, where she and Christian teach piano, voice, guitar,
bass, mandolin and ukulele lessons to over 200 children. Camille also teaches music at Horizon Christian Fellowship, directing the children’s choir and various musical productions. According to Christian, their daughter shares his and Camille’s love of music, playing piano and singing “like angel.” Football is also a common love for the family, whether they are watching it on TV, playing a pick-up game with friends or participating in Pop Warner. “Johnny really enjoys football and Miles is also into the statistical part of the game. He loves to watch sports news shows about players and the games,” related Christian. Both Christian and Camille are involved in the Pop Warner League; Christian as a coach and Camille as a manager. Giving back to the community is a priority for the Hastings. Christian is a new member to the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Board after coaching for several years, and the entire family is involved in activities at their church. “We are strong in our faith and attend Horizon Christian Fellowship in Rancho Santa Fe. We spend much of our time volunteering,” stated Christian. Camille and Marissa are especially involved in the high school worship teams, harvest festivals and vacation bible school programs. The Hastings family also knows how to let loose and have fun. Christian and Camille are big fans of the recent renovations to the Highlands, taking full advantage of the shopping and restaurants. The beach also rates high on the family list of favorite activities. “We love family barbeques on the beach. As soon as the weather warms up, we are down at Cardiff Beach with our portable grill, guitars, friends, footballs and laughs,” revealed Christian.

TPHS Students Part of Grand Space Experiment Two TPHS students are part of a team of women, affiliated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), who will be running experiments on board the International Space Station. Pooja Bisarya, grade 9, and Meera Kota, grade 10, are part of an exceptional group of women who have been working together to make this happen. The girls joined the San Diego Science Alliance in 7th grade, which led to their affiliation with BE WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering.) Meera and Pooja were selected to work on payload. The experiment they chose was “When alum-saturated solutions are sent into space, will the shape and structure of the crystal differ from the control on earth?” For the experiment, different RGB lights (white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) will be programmed to turn on hourly, and a camera will take a picture. Every 3 days, the pictures will be sent to the team for review and analysis. The experiment will run during the month of Mar., arriving via SpaceX on the Dragon 10 spacecraft, an unmanned vehicle, where it will join with the International Space Station.

ugby is a team game played with an oval ball that may be kicked, carried, and passed from hand to hand. It is said that the game has been around since 1823 when William Webb-Ellis, of Rugby School, picked up a ball while running with it at an English school football game to bring attention to his fine disregard for the rules of football. The sport took shape around many universities and the first set of written rules for “rugby union” were drawn up in 1845. Today, the sport lives on and is thriving in the local communities. San Diego Youth Rugby, also known as the Mustangs, has been developing rugby players from kindergarten through high school since 2004. The “think on your feet” program they have in place allows athletes to build self-confidence and camaraderie, work as a team, and boost their athleticism. Club President, Guy Hagen, and Treasurer, David Pool shared with us how the Mustangs have created a club of excellence in coaching, playing and developing rugby players. The athletes are tackling the sport well and gaining strength, speed and agility all while have a great time on the fields.

C
helsea King is close to the hearts of North County residents. Since her tragic death in 2010, Chelsea’s parents, Brent and Kelly King, have worked not just to honor her loss, but to celebrate her life. They fought to pass Chelsea’s Law, which has created harsher penalties and tighter restrictions on criminals who prey on children, and they continue to spread love in her name through the Chelsea’s Light Foundation. The Foundation supports the Kings’ efforts to expand Chelsea’s Law to other states and awards academic and “joie de vivre” scholarships to students who embody the attributes Chelsea demonstrated so proudly. A senior at Poway High, Chelsea had a reputation for stewardship. “She was a devout vegetarian and cared deeply about the impact we had on our planet,” explained Robin Liszewski, Executive Director of Chelsea’s Light Foundation. Chelsea’s Run is about celebrating that legacy. The annual 5K, dubbed Finish Chelsea’s Run, is a tradition started by community members touched by the tragedy. On March 20th, 2010, 3,500 people gathered together to finish the run Chelsea started on February 25th at the Rancho Bernardo Community Park. “The original grass-roots ‘Finish Chelsea’s Run’ was such a moving and healing experience for the community that Kelly and Brent King decided to make it an official, annual tradition in San Diego,” said Liszewski. The FCR, scheduled this year for Saturday, March 2nd, is now the main source of funds for the Foundation. Last year, the run had 5,000 participants and raised $120,000,
44 • 92130Magazine.com • February | March 2013
funding 11 Sunflower Scholarships. “Thanks to tremendous community support for the past two years,” stated Liszewski proudly, “we have surprised our recipients by doubling the amount of their expected award in addition to other surprises like new lap top computers.” Organizers honor Chelsea by working to make the run a green event, asking participants to bring their own refillable water bottle and providing refilling stations along the course. FCR also includes many “Chelsea-esque elements,” as Liszewski described, including sunflowers and favorite quotes along the race course as well as a children’s book drive. “In the spirit of friendly competition, awards will be presented (and bragging rights bestowed) to the largest corporate, school, community, law enforcement and military teams,” noted Liszewski. ¢

Watch Out Manning – Here Comes Tyler Lytle, An 8th Grade Powerhouse On and Off the Field by KATHY LOY
The Invitation On and off the football field, Carmel Valley Middle School 8th grader, Tyler Lytle is a big deal! He was recently invited to play quarterback for the 2013 JuniorRank Academic All-American Game. Each year, just 115 7th and 8th grade athletes from across the country are selected to play in the football game; this year on January 4th, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. What sets these All-Star games apart is that the athletes, from 25 different states, were chosen to participate based on both their academic and onfield talents, as student must carry at 3.0 GPA or higher in order to play. “The Junior Academic All-American Game is about much more than being able to play football at a high level, these guys are amongst the best in the country at their age and positions but more importantly, they are amongst the best in the classroom and bright lights in their community,” says JuniorRank CEO Shaon Berry.
46 • 92130Magazine.com • February | March 2013
Prepping for the Game Understandably, Tyler was very excited to be invited to play in such a prestigious game. “As soon as I got that invitation I went to work even harder and tried to prepare myself as much as I could for the first week of January,” described Tyler. “I’m most looking forward to the competition and am incredibly excited to be able to compete with some of the best players in the country.” Tyler trained hard right up to game day by lifting weights, doing speed work and position specific drills. “My inspiration is the love of the game,” said Tyler. “I take it very seriously, but the reason I play football is because it’s fun. At the end of the day, it is a game and if you’re not enjoying it, then why play it?”
Post-Game Recap After the game, Tyler said the caliber of athletes was what impressed him the most. “The talent was absolutely insane!” he said. “I have never been around or played with such a gifted group of athletes.” Even though he wasn’t nervous in the weeks before the game, he did feel them on game day. “Nerves unexpectedly got the best of me at times and I don’t feel I played to the best of my ability, but we still beat the East 18-0. I sure hope to lead my high school team to state and have the opportunity to play there again,” explained Tyler. ¢

nza Borrego, located about two hours east of San Diego, is the largest state park in California. Mountains and canyons surround palm groves, natural hot springs, and desert floor, making it a popular destination year round, frequented by hikers, campers, ATV riders, and people looking for a quiet retreat in Borrego Springs. The drive offers breathtaking views and the occasional sighting of quail, roadrunners, coyote, jackrabbits, and even bighorn sheep, or Borrego, for whom the park is named, along with Spanish explorer, Juan Bautista de Anza. But it is in early spring when parts of the park truly spring to life. While February means snow and slush in other parts of the country, it is wildflower season in Anza Borrego. The scant winter rainfall drains from the high peaks into its lowlying basins, and when the confluence of sun, wind, and rain is just

right, a brilliant bloom of wildflowers springs forth. Predicting just when (and if) this display will occur is not easy. “We all wait and hope for a great flower year to arrive, but it doesn’t always happen,” acknowledged Michael Rodriques, Regional Interpretive Specialist for the park. “Sufficient winter rain and moderate temperatures decide if the bloom is great, good, or non-existent each year.” To help would-be admirers time their visit, park employees offer a Wildflower Hotline at 760-767-4684 and can provide notification by postcard or e-mail as well. Call the Visitor’s Center at 760-7674205 or the Anza Borrego Foundation at 760-767-0446 for more information – or just take your chances. Flowers or not, there is plenty to do at the award-winning Visitor’s Center.

ome people volunteer because they are asked to fill an open position or they see a void and a way to fix it. 92130’s Marty Foltyn may have volunteerism in her genes. Growing up in Washington D.C. and Maryland, Marty’s father was her town’s first Latino city councilman. Here in San Diego, she volunteers her time at the community, city, and state levels. Marty and her husband of 22 years, Jim Wirt, have lived in Carmel Valley for all of their married life. Their daughter, Miranda, is a junior at Carmel Crest Academy (CCA), which is where Marty’s volunteerism impacts the over 1,800 students and their families. After serving as the Foundation’s VP of Marketing, Marty was elected President last year. “It is a great way to become involved with the school, the staff, the teachers, and parents, and to make a real difference in helping the school continue its success in academics, arts, and athletics,” said Marty. The CCA Foundation exists to provide opportunities for students that may not be supported due to school district budget cuts. “I feel my biggest accomplishment has been to serve alongside my fellow board members, dedicated parents, and the community to raise funds to support and to expand our school's activities in these difficult financial times,” commented Marty. Two events to watch for are the Raven Wishes Night at Burlap Restaurant on February 27th and “Shoot for the Stars,” at the Air and Space Museum on May 11th. Also in support of CCA, Marty works with Dollars for Scholars in order to raise funds for college scholarships. Another way Marty impacts local teens is through the Girl Scouts. For seven years, Marty has been a troop leader and is also the local service unit secretary. Additionally, she is on the board of Families with Children from China, and helps with the San Diego Chinese Center’s Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Faire. At the state level, she is the chapter council secretary of the California Native Plant Society. Remarkably, Marty also has time to weave, a hobby she took up years ago after visiting a museum that was dedicating a Weaver’s Barn. “I have always loved textiles, so I literally sat down at a loom that day and began to learn to weave,” explained Marty. “Today I have several looms at home, and in my spare time, weave rag rugs, table linens, scarves, and blankets.” Name: Marty Foltyn Community: Carmel Valley Volunteer Affiliation: Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, Girl Scouts Carmel Valley Service Unit, California Native Plant Society, CCA Dollars for Scholars, Families with Children from China, San Diego Chinese Center Chinese New Year Committee Family: Husband Jim Wirt, Software Engineer and UCSD graduate, Daughter Miranda Wirt, Junior at Canyon Crest Academy Name of Group: Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Group’s Purpose: The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a non-profit, parent volunteer organization dedicated to realizing CCA’s educational programs and priorities through financial, volunteer, and community support Group Contact: 858-350-0253 x 4005; www.canyoncrestfoundation.org

Salon LG offers cutting edge tape extensions, as well as the more well-known fusion method where a pre-bonded strand is fused to the client’s existing hair. The salon buys hair from several companies so that color and texture can be matched perfectly for each client. Before opening Salon LG on June 1st, 2012, Shelly and her husband, Patrick, ran a salon in La Jolla. “We wanted to find a space closer to our home in Carmel Valley,” explained Shelly. “It took us almost a full year to find the perfect spot in Solana Beach.” They feel they are now in a wonderful location with plenty of parking and an interior that is bright, open and has large windows that overlook a green hillside.

DIG DEEP TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR BACKYARD BLOOMING by WYNNE LOVE
W
hile yards in southern California haven’t been buried under feet of snow all winter, the plants in them still feel the effects of lengthened days, slowlywarming temperatures, and increasing rainfall. As spring approaches, prepare your yard for that burst of new growth of flora (and fauna) that spring can bring. Healthy Roots: February is the perfect time to fertilize and amend your soil. This will leave your soil full of nutrients for your plants’ first good spring meal. Use a soil test kit or consult a local gardening store for the best fertilizers for your needs. A Strong Stem: David Ross, Senior Manager of the Walter Anderson Nursery in Poway, notes that there is no set schedule for lawn
aeration, but if you haven’t done it for a while (say, in the past two to three years), early spring is an ideal time to loosen that soil and prime the area for new growth. Now is also the time to head off weed problems with a preemergent weed killer. Spry Shoots: While it’s too soon to increase watering times, it is a good idea to check automated sprinkler schedules, especially with the increase in rainfall. Make sure palms and lawns aren’t getting too much water, but be sure not to neglect potted plants which will still need regular doses. Lush Leaves: Be on the lookout for the arrival of pests! Watch for aphids and hose them off promptly. Ross recommends using a horticultural oil spray on plants as well.

Full Flowers: Now is the time to prune. Cut back perennials, grasses, and roses now; trim shrubs and spring-flowering trees when they are ready for new growth. Sweet Fruit: Though the weather may be warming already, don’t be too eager to plant those summer vegetables – it’s still too early. In fact, there is still time to plant another round of leafy greens and root vegetables. “February is a great time to plant citrus,” added Ross. “It’s too late to plan bare-root fruit trees, but it’s the very beginning of the citrus tree season.” Not a lot of room? Try a “fruit salad” tree which can grow as many as five different varieties of citrus on one tree. Then, sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Sustainable Homecoming: Returning Veterans Are Getting Schooled in the Local Organic Agricultural Industry by KATHY LOY
F
or some veterans returning home and looking for a job outside of military service, employment prospects can be bleak. The current economy is not as strong as it was for vets returning from previous wars, and the unemployment rate for veterans is twice the national average. The Veterans Valor Fund strives to provide programs in the agricultural industry, focusing on organic and locally sold produce and agricultural products, in order to assist needy or disabled veterans in California. These programs can be tuition grants, training programs, business grants and loans or funding for greenhouses. 4S Ranch resident and Treasurer of the Veterans Valor Fund (VVF), Daron Edwards, explains that the VVF “exists to support active duty and retired military individuals getting trained, educated and properly certified in the sustainable agricultural industry. This will enable them to establish their own business so they can get on their feet financially.” He and the other founders of the VVF got the idea from a program that started in Escondido called
Archi’s Acres, Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training program which is an “entrepreneurial incubator” for transitioning veterans. Archi’s Acres has trained over 100 veterans for careers in sustainable agriculture and other sectors in the food supply chain. Daron, a Financial Advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors in Rancho Bernardo, says that providing veterans this kind of help has its benefits. “Giving back, in a tangible way, to these brave men and women warriors who have risked their lives to secure our freedom and seeing them discover the possibilities of being their own boss and being financially independent is rewarding,” said Daron. “As is having a way to encourage and support them in chasing their dream. Coming from the financial background of investments and money management it is important for me to participate in guiding these men and women into sustainable careers. Risk is mitigated with proper training and guidance.” The VVF is a non-profit organization that wishes to partner with individuals and
organizations that want to take part in helping more veterans make a smooth transition to financial independence. Recently, three San Diegans in the auto industry sponsored students to go through a sustainable agricultural program: Joe Allis (Porsche), George Athan (Audi), and Jason Puga (Land Rover) organized by Janet Lawless Christ of Coldwell Banker in Rancho Santa Fe.

RESOLUTION:\give up my
ALLERGIES
F
or most people who have lived with allergies their entire life, it is difficult to believe that they could simply get rid of them. However, according to Dr Kusum Sharma who is board certified in Allergy and Immunology, this is actually possible. According to her, when someone is allergic to something, they have the following three options: 1. They could avoid what they are allergic to. This prevents an allergic reaction from happening. This approach is commonly used for drug and food allergies. Since other effective drugs are available, doctors simply avoid the drug a person is allergic to. People allergic to certain foods avoid those particular foods. People with cat or dog allergies can try to avoid exposure to them. However it becomes difficult with other environmental allergens like pollens and dust mites that are found everywhere. 2. They could take medications to suppress the effects of the allergic reaction. For seasonal allergies and asthma, most people take this approach. They take over the counter allergy medications or prescription medications given by their doctor. Often the symptoms are not completely
controlled and people learn to live with their allergies. Also, this entails taking medications daily for prolonged periods of time. 3. They could “give up” their allergies by being de-sensitized to the particular allergens. This third option allows an allergic person to decrease their sensitivity to allergy causing substances, so that exposure to the offending allergen (pollen, mold, dust mites, animal dander, stinging insects, foods like milk and egg, drugs, etc.) will result in fewer/less severe or no symptoms. Desensitization is commonly done for medications like aspirin, penicillin and other drugs when the particular drug will be of benefit and no substitutes are available. Recently, desensitization to egg and milk has been possible in many cases. Venom immunotherapy allows for desensitization to bee, wasp and hornet venoms. “Allergy shots” or immunotherapy is a similar approach that desensitizes to seasonal allergens. This approach works in 8590% of allergic patients. It typically takes about 6-8 months of weekly injections to achieve the final or maintenance dose. This seems to discourage many people. However, Dr Sharma has devised what she
Dr. Kusum Sharma is the Director, Allergy & Asthma Clinics at AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine located in Scripps Ranch and La Jolla. She specializes in seasonal, food, drug, gluten, mold, cosmetic & skin allergy, asthma, sinus problems and hives.
calls “Cluster Immunotherapy- AKANE protocol” so she can get the same results by giving fewer injections over a significantly shorter duration, typically 2-3 months. Once the maintenance dose is reached, it is continued once a month for 3-5 yrs. “Results are astounding” says Dr Sharma, “I see sneezing, dripping, stuffiness and even snoring disappear.” She is very excited about all the new research in this area. Sublingual immunotherapy or allergy drops delivered in the mouth instead of the allergy injections are now being reviewed by the FDA. For people with just grass allergy, a grass tablet is being formulated to take just before grass season. If you suffered from allergies last year, this is your time to take action. Start this year with a new goal. Find out what causes your allergies, and which of the above three approaches is best for you. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
What if this IS a bubble by SCOTT VOAK
I
have received several questions along the line of “What if this is just a bubble?” and “How do you know prices won’t fall again?” Well, even though I do not think the recent rise in prices is a “bubble”, there are a lot of problems ahead for the economy and anybody who tells you there aren’t doesn’t really understand the current economic situation (or is trying to sell you something). These problems could possibly cause the market to slip again. The question is, how do you protect yourself? The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to understand if your real estate is primarily your home or an investment. For your personal residence, I recommend you focus on a property that works well as a home for the next decade. It needs to be affordable and adaptable. In other words, you should be able to afford it now (a little stretching is ok, but be sure to have reserves to cover emergencies) and it should be able to fit your family as your family grows. So, if you are newly married and want to have 3 children and start the family in the next 5 years, you should think about these things and avoid the 2 bedroom condo. Look instead at a home that can handle your needs with 3 kids. Similarly, if you have young children, don’t just look for good elementary schools, pay attention to the high school too. If you can put yourself into a long term home and lock into today’s incredible interest rates, you will be somewhat insulated against the rises and falls in the market. If you have a 30 year fixed at 3.5% and values fall 10-20% again before rising, it will not threaten your family security. Plus, you avoid the expensive process of moving up where real estate fees of 6-7% can eat up your appreciation and equity. Next issue, I will look at how to position yourself in your investment real estate in case the market falls. ¢
