:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 1, No. 5 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
On a Mission to Get Healthy Well, the time has come. I am nearly 39 years old. Yep, the big “40” is looming around the corner. It’s time for me to shed some weight and get healthier. Nutrition. Diet. Exercise. These are some of our favorite talking points. I spend so much time thinking about it and talking about it – now I’m just doing it. For the next several months I will be on an intense program consisting of nutrition and exercise. I have chosen to kick start my lifestyle change with a juice reboot diet – only juice consisting of a variety of vegetables and fruits. I will then transition to a diet primarily consisting of micronutrient fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts (I can’t believe that I’m actually writing this) followed by the introduction of fish and other lean proteins. My ultimate goal is to get healthy – from the inside out. I am told that the side effects will consist of significant weight loss, lots of energy, and a longer estimated life expectancy. Not too bad if you ask me! I’ve already started the program, and by the time you read this I will have been on the program for over a month. I started it right – I planned and prepared. I even had my wife take the customary “shirtless” photos to use as a reference – not sure how I feel about showing these to people though. So wish me luck! There’s no turning back now as I’ve actually published my health goal. I figured it was all in or nothing. I’ll post an update in the next issue and I’ll keep my Facebook page updated on the progress. Want to join me? It’s the perfect time of the year to make a healthy change! Email me at publisher@zcodemedia.com to share your story. Start Date: Start Weight: Current Weight: Target Weight:

Operation Christmas Child by MICHELLE TREMBLAY
I
f you are looking to “give back” this holiday season, there is an organization just for you. Samaritan’s Purse, a national Christian organization, is making it their mission to not only bring joy to impoverished children all around the world, but to also enrich their lives by spreading the word of God. With the help of donations, this group sends shoeboxes to needy children filled with such items as toys, clothing, toiletries, and school supplies. Also, in an effort to bring faith into these children’s lives, every shoebox includes an educational book on Christianity that introduces the child to a discipleship program. This project is called “Operation Christmas Child,” and now, through its San Diego chapter, you too can give the gifts of joy, hope and faith to an impoverished child. Esperanza (Itzy) Haumschilt, the lead for San Diego’s Operation Christmas Child and a teacher at Valley Elementary School, explained how she became involved with the charity: “I have been packing (shoeboxes) for many years with my own children and with my students. I always love the joy of giving to a child and my best experience was when I went to the processing center in Orange County to witness the love of God through thousands and thousands of boxes,” said Itzy. “Every single one was unique and special. Tears came to my
16 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
eyes just to imagine little girls and boys in some of the most difficult situations. I became a year round volunteer and then the area coordinator for the best team in the world – North San Diego.” Like Itzy, anyone can become involved with the project either through volunteering or by donating a shoebox (along with $7 to cover shipping costs). “You can be a part of this amazing and simple project,” said Itzy. “It feels good to give. It’s truly a blessing to know that darkness turns into light for all these children with a simple shoebox full of hope and love. Get together with your family, church, or school and be a part of the most rewarding experience you will ever have.” With your donation, you will have the option to track your shoebox to its destination, and some lucky donors may even get to know the child to whom the box was delivered. “You may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family and if you enclose your name and address the child may even write back,” explained Itzy. National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child is November 12 -19, 2012, and the “drop off” centers are located throughout the county. For more information on getting involved or to find your nearest drop off center, please visit: www.samaritanspurse.org. ¢

Dynamic Duo The Couple Behind the Royal Dance Academy and Manchester Soccer Club by wynne love | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
O
ccasionally you meet a visionary who is following his dream, or sharing her passion. In this case, you’ll meet two. Introducing Francine and Billy Garton, locals to 92130 since 2001, and powerhouses in their respective fields. Raised in Liverpool, England, Francine was a dancer from a young age, earning a scholarship to a prestigious ballet school in London, and finishing her studies in Manchester. She danced professionally for two years before opening her own dance studio in Manchester, and when she and Billy moved to the States in 2001, she knew she would continue to teach. “I intended to wait a year or so to look for studio space when we originally arrived here in San Diego,” explained Francine, “but by chance found a perfect space within four weeks of arriving.” The Royal Dance Academy was born and has grown steadily since, expanding three times, and continually adding new curricula, including Royal Academy of Dance Ballet Examinations, the LAMDA acting program, and opportunities for students to compete nationally and audition with talent scouts from L.A. “I am always looking to re-invent my studio and keep the ‘edge’ that has us at the forefront of dance education,” said Francine. Now
18 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
RDA occupies a brand new 6,000 square-foot facility and is home to over 750 students. “I love to teach and I love my students,” shared Francine. But she isn’t the only one in the family who loves what she does. Billy Garton’s passion is soccer. A native of Manchester, England, he played professionally for Manchester United for eight years and then coached before moving to the States with a new vision: the Manchester Soccer Club. “I love seeing young players get bitten by the soccer bug and get seriously committed to the sport,” said Billy. With his guidance, the MSC, a youth soccer league, has grown from four teams to 38, and now employs 17 professional coaches with players who compete at the state and national levels. “I have been very lucky in my life,” said Billy. “I was paid to play soccer, a wonderful thing, now I get paid to coach soccer, a dream job.” When they’re not getting your kids fired up, Billy and Francine pour their energies into their own four children. They love to exercise, travel, golf, read, and, of course, pour their heart and soul into their students. ¢

I’ll Be at the Barre Don’t just Sculpt – Chisel That Bod – with the Amazing Workouts at Xtend Barre by wynne love
T
here are a lot of workout options out there. I should know – I’ve tried them all: running, biking, swimming, strength-training, spin, Pilates, yoga, Zumba, kickboxing, you name it. But even the best workout routine can become just that – routine. And that’s how I found myself at an Xtend Barre class last week in Carmel Valley. As instructor Lina Harris put it, “It’s not what you expect when you enter a dance studio.” I can attest to that. A combination of core, strength training, and cardio exercises, all drawn from the foundations of ballet, Xtend Barre (pronounced “bar”) was an invigorating blend of rigorous exercise with a good dose of grace. As studio owner Amy Mewborn described, “Xtend Barre is a full body workout.” While you will find yourself doing pliés and relevés, you’ll be doing them with an energy and intensity that only the most serious dancers take on. A few years ago, Amy was a successful financial planner. She always enjoyed fitness, but it was the discovery of Xtend Barre that inspired her to make it a career. “When I took my first barre class, I was in love!” exclaimed Amy. “I felt it was very well rounded. It gave me those quick cardio intervals in addition to the small isometric toning exercises of traditional barre.” She opened the first Xtend Barre studio ever in Carlsbad in 2010, and her second in Carmel Valley in 2011. Research continues to support the combination of cardio and strength training as the most effective calorie blaster. This type of “interval” workout
is shown to tone muscle, assist weight loss, strengthen bones, and improve cardiovascular health. “As women, we are busy!” said Amy. “I didn’t have time to go to barre class, and still go get a cardio workout in, so I felt that Xtend Barre really was efficient with my time.” Her clients agree. “I tried lots of other studios,” shared one, “but I like this one best because it’s a nice combination of cardio, Pilates, and fusion, with the core of ballet.”

Match point Emily Fowler Dedicates Time on the Court and in the Pool by kathy loy | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
I
t’s not every day you hear about kids who flew to the other side of the world, unaccompanied by parents, to visit their family in Estonia. Last summer, Emily Fowler and her younger sister did just that, although Emily says it probably won’t happen again since her mother “was super worried the entire time!” Emily is used to exciting experiences. She started playing tennis at just five years old and between tennis and swim team, she spends a lot of time outdoors. “My mom signed me up for my first tennis clinic and it has become my favorite sport ever since. She thought since I was left handed, tall and strong for my age, that this would be a good fit for me,” said Emily. “I play junior tournaments almost every weekend and have started to do really well.” Emily, now in her first year at Solana Pacific School, has lived in Pacific Highlands Ranch since 2007. She especially loves the area because it is close to a recreation center and Rancho Valencia, where she plays tennis. Also close by is the Boys and Girls Club, where Emily practices for the Rancho Name: Age: School: Grade: Parents: Siblings’:

San Dieguito Swim Team two to three days a week. Before living in Carmel Valley, Emily lived in downtown San Diego, where they now go back to visit friends. “Our favorite places to visit there are Balboa Park and Coronado,” explained Emily. These days, the beach in Del Mar or Cardiff by the Sea are fun places to go. “One of our favorite things to do on Sundays is to play a family tennis match, and afterwards go to the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market, where we order the biggest crepes stuffed with Nutella, fresh strawberries and whipping cream,” said Emily.
“One of our favorite things to do on Sundays is to play a family tennis match, and afterwards go to Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market, where we order the biggest crepes stuffed with Nutella, fresh strawberries and whipping cream.” When she isn’t playing tennis or swimming, Emily enjoys biking, riding her scooter, surfing and playing with her puppy. Tennis remains her true love, though, and her mother’s support has helped. “I admire my mom. She has been raising me and my sister alone. She works hard but always finds time to exercise and play tennis with me,” said Emily. “My other idol is [tennis champion] Maria Sharapova.” ¢

Run for Local Schools
The First Annual Carmel Valley 5K to Benefit Del Mar Unified School District by Jennifer Frakes
T
he first annual Carmel Valley 5K and Kid’s Fun Run will take place on December 8, 2012, and promises to be fun for the whole family. “This race is bringing together all eight Del Mar Unified School District (DMUSD) schools, as well as the community-at-large, for a morning of fitness and fun,” said Katie Wilsey, race director. “It’s also designed to bring awareness to the lack of funding for important school programs, and help raise money for this worthy cause.” According to Wilsey, the best part of the event is that all the money raised will go directly to support Carmel Valley and Del Mar area schools, allowing runners and sponsors to positively impact their local community. Both the 5K and the Kid’s Fun Run will begin at Carmel Del Mar Elementary School, with the 5K start time scheduled for 7:30 a.m. and the Fun Run scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. The 5K is open to all ages six and up, and the Fun Run is open to kindergartners through sixth graders. Wilsey describes the 5K course as “challenging and unique,” with beautiful scenery that includes some rolling hills. The Kid’s Fun Run will be a non-competitive one-mile
26 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
course on the grounds of the school. “This is a great way to involve your children in a healthy lifestyle and benefit the Del Mar School Education Foundation (DMSEF) at the same time,” expressed Wilsey. All participants will receive a medal. As stated by Wilsey, the DMSEF is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for science, art, music, technology and P.E. at all eight DMUSD schools. She encourages those who may not want to run in the event, but are still interested in participating in the fundraiser to contact her for volunteer or sponsorship opportunities. “I’m glad to say that each school has a parent volunteering, which is awesome. In addition, we have several members of the community who don’t even have kids in school—they are just trying to help make the event a success, and the community a better place to live,” declared Wilsey. Approximately 1,000 runners are expected and spots are limited, so Wilsey encourages everyone to sign up as soon as possible. In addition, those who register before November 1st will receive a discount, as will those who sign up multiple family members. ¢ For additional information, visit www.carmelvallet5k.com or email katiewilsey4@gmail.com

L
ike many parents, Sam and Mojgan Amini chose where to live based on their dreams for their children. They researched schools before selecting Carmel Creek Elementary for its high quality facilities and great programs. They then purchased a home in Carmel Valley, a community that has everything they need – outstanding schools, parks, community centers, shopping, safe cul-de-sacs for playing, and friendly neighbors. The Amini children have thrived. Shawdi enjoys drawing, reading, playing outside, swimming, traveling, and running. Once, because her daughter could not find her teammates for a 5K race, Mojgan reminisced, “I, a non runner who did not have proper running shoes, ran with Shawdi wearing a backpack the whole way.” Armon enjoys LEGO® toys, tennis, Minecraft, playing with friends and neighbors, collecting Hot Wheels cars, playing on a soccer team, and playing chess in his school chess program. Both Sam and Mojgan worked hard. Sam opened a restaurant at age twenty-three while going to graduate school and received his Master of Arts in Architecture from Oklahoma State University. Later, while working at ISD Inc., he helped design the interior of the Michael D. Eisner Building, which was published in an architecture magazine. Currently, he owns Techdust.com, a full service web

development company. Mojgan attended USC and Cal State Fullerton and received her Master of Science in Computer Science. Currently the IT director at UC San Diego, she received the UC Sautter Award three times and developed three U.S. patents relevant to consumer electronics. And, as Mojgan explains, this work ultimately brought them together. “We met at a work-related conference, but we got to know each other by e-mail before going out.” And now, as parents, Sam and Mojgan contribute to their community. Sam created the Carmel Creek PTA website and developed and launched an Mojgan reminisced, auction website for Carmel Creek. Mojgan leads public speaking and leadership classes for kids and helps raise money to fund hands-on learning in art, science, P.E., and technology for the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning. To stay focused, the Amini family creates a goals poster each year. Each person writes out goals and cuts out pictures from magazines to match each goal. For fun, they enjoy camping, going to the mountains, building, hiking at the Torrey Pines preserve, riding their bikes to the Highlands to people watch and get dessert, and meeting friends at the park every Friday evening to share a meal, socialize, and play. ¢

:::: HEALTHY SMILES
Get it Straight!
The Importance of Straight Teeth Why Straight Teeth are Important:
Ways to straighten teeth:
Straight teeth are not only beautiful but more importantly, they promote optimal health. Teeth that are straight and spaced evenly are easier to keep clean, promoting better oral hygiene, less prone to decay and increase chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime. New research says better oral health also means reduced incidence of systemic diseases such as heart disease, gastro-intestinal disease and other conditions. Straight and aligned teeth create an even bite leading to less stress and strain on bone and surrounding tissues, allowing for better chewing efficiency and digestion. Personal benefit of straight teeth instills confidence in business and personal relationships.
Traditional Orthodontics: Fixed braces for 18-24 months for moderate to severe crowding and bite problems. Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment: Series of clear trays to slowly move your teeth for minor to moderate crowding. Porcelain/Composite Veneers are sometimes used to correct slight imperfections and minor crowding. Removable orthodontic appliances can be made if needed correction is fairly limited. Six Month Smiles is a newer treatment available to patients with minor/moderate crowding in the front teeth and not make time consuming changes to the way your back teeth come together. Six Month Smiles has taken the best aspects of braces and modified

the treatment and materials to give adults a common sense, cosmetic solution that fits specific lifestyles. Six Months Smiles Braces are clear and tooth colored wires make the braces more esthetic. Also, the treatment is typically less expensive than traditional braces, aligner therapy or veneers. If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr.Patel can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from any of the above discussed treatment.

Local Girls Return from Bolshoi Ballet Summer Intensive
Local girls, Jordan London,11, of Del Mar, and Jenna Alvarez, 9, of Carmel Valley recently returned from a three week summer intensive ballet dance instruction by the world renowned Russian Bolshoi Ballet Theatre Company, held in Middlebury, CT, which was made possible through the Russian American Foundation based in NYC. Both girls have been dancing for only four years with the Love to Dance, Inc. dance studio located in Torrey Hills. Jordan and Jenna were two out of 120 students chosen to be invited to the three week program in Connecticut, a small few of whom were international students coming from as far as Russia and Japan. The program was held at the Westover Boarding School in Middlebury, where the girls lived for three weeks as roommates. This was the first time for both girls to be living away from home and family. As a part of the curriculum, the girls also studied Russian language two hours per week. Among some of the highlights of their experience included making new friends from around the U.S. and abroad, taking dance instruction from Master Ballet Instructors, the field trip to Lake Compounce, an amusement water park in CT, and a sight seeing tour of dance theaters in NYC. Both are looking forward to the next audition scheduled in early 2013. Photos by John Alvarez

Simply Amazing!
Locals Rally Behind All Natural Weight Loss System
S
ince opening in early 2010, the success of Amazing New Me’s proprietary All-Natural weight loss programs have been sweeping across North County. With hundreds of successful clients locally and thousands nationally, the buzz is catching on. Within 8 months of opening in Rancho Bernardo, they grew from a single office suite to a multiple office suite. They will be expanding again to a larger nearby location in November. “We will continue to grow as our clients continue to succeed and tell their family and friends about us. We have plans this year to open locations in Temecula and Chula Vista,” says Rick Micheri, who himself started out as a client back in Las Vegas. After allowing his weight to climb to over 310 lbs. – causing a

decline in his health – the father of two young daughters knew something had to change...and fast. So he tried the same methods himself, dropping more than 70 lbs. on this program (see photos below, left). “Most diets today focus on speeding you up and starving you. This is a dangerous combination.” said Micheri. “More often than not, you will lose weight (pounds) at the sacrifice of your lean body tissue (muscles) and water with minimal fat loss. Once you stop eating and drinking their products and begin to eat normal foods, those muscle tissues will rebuild themselves, therefore gain weight back.” This is where the Amazing New Me program is set apart from other diets,” Micheri said. “Our program reverses everything. We focus on reduction of fat inches and education to help you to keep it off. This program puts the patients’ bodies in what we call a state of release. The body will naturally release and metabolize about 2,000 calories of abnormal fats daily. This is key, as the body bypasses the lean body tissue – what normally is lost by other diet methods. Our patients’ bodies, instead, target the adipose fats (fat layer below the skin) for calories and nourishment. As these fats are reduced it is noticeable more quickly. Your clothes will tell you everything Amazing New Me offers supplement based programs. There are no packaged foods to buy, no surgeries, nor exercise required.
‘I’ve been on this program for two weeks and already I’ve lost 10.5 inches and reduced my BMI by over 1 point. I feel great and I’m not hungry. The pounds are slipping away. Best weight loss program I’ve ever been on... and believe me I’ve tried them all.’ 36 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012

“We have learned that most clients here in San Diego already eat more healthy, which makes the program easier as they can continue eating the same foods but now in smaller portions and more often during the day”, says Rick Micheri. The programs are all inclusive, the fee provides for all the supplements required, office visits and consultations. There are three supplements taken during the program. First is the proprietary All-Natural Oral Spray, which is taken twice daily (morning and night). Patients keep the product by their bed, applying three sprays under the tongue when they awaken and when they go to bed. The second supplement is a sublingual B-12 complex taken once daily. Third is a once-daily supplement capsule taken with breakfast or lunch, which assists in appetite control (many patients often stop this
‘When I first saw the ad for Amazing New Me I thought that sounds nice but it can’t really be true. Well let me tell you it is true! I have lost 35 pounds and more importantly the inches are falling off. I have gone from a ‘tight’ size 14 to a size 8. At 54 years old I had pretty much given up on ever getting my old figure back.

supplement as they progress in the program and appetite control no longer is an issue). Amazing New Me offers three programs: 40-day, 75-day and 150-day programs. Each program consists of 28-32 day weight loss cycles followed by 10-14 days of maintenance between each cycle. The maintenance period allows the body to recalibrate between weight loss cycles. During this period the client focuses on maintaining weight, not worrying about loss or gain. It gives them a real world opportunity to put what they have learned into practice for a short period of time without assistance of supplements. “We are proud of our clients successes and look forward to helping many more in the years to come as we continue our growth. Give us a call, the consultation is free,” explains Micheri (see ad in this magazine on page 57 for current promotion). ¢
Frequently-Asked Questions About the Weight Management Program
Amazing New Me’s Rick Micheri answered some frequently-asked questions about the center’s weight management program:
Is the program safe?
Yes, your body uses nutrients stored in the adipose fat deposits for additional nourishment. There are no unnatural or synthetic ingredients, no accelerants that speed you up or make you feel shaky or uncomfortable.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients are astonished in the first two weeks. They can’t believe how quickly their bodies are shrinking.
What is the average weight loss for the program? The average male patient can lose one pound of fat a day. The average female patient can lose ½ to 1 pound of fat a day.
Will I feel hungry?
No, our products cause the body to use nutrients stored as fat to “feed” you, so you don’t feel physiological hunger. In the beginning days, the low calorie diet may trigger cravings or mental hunger because the body is removing toxins. If this occurs, the program provides an all-natural appetite control capsule.
Will I regain or rebound my weight?
Our program targets fat reduction which is less likely to return. You only restore fat by a continuous overeating over consecutive meals, allowing your body to have surplus calories to store as fat.

While professional artists work side by side with Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) teachers, they are known to deliver stellar art experience to the students involved in the program. Envision serves students who may only take one arts course during their high school years as well as those students who have a passion to study a form of art at the most intensive level possible. The program is one of a kind and the students involved are making great strides. Envision Director, Anne Whattoff, gave us a sneak peak on her role, the overall program, the opportunities available and the accolades those involved in the program have earned through student diligence under the lens of passionate instructors.

92130: What is the difference between the Day Class program and the Conservatory Program? A.W.: While some are audition-based, Envision day classes are open to all students. The three-year Conservatory program is a rigorous one, meant for students who are driven to pursue their discipline on a deeper level. For example, as part of their coursework, music students must complete an online theory course offered in partnership with Mira Costa College. Many of our Conservatory students are preparing for college and a career in their chosen art field, and the classes and projects offered help to prepare them. Conservatory classes meet three days a week, after the regular school day.
92130: What is the commitment involved as a participant in the Envision Program? A.W.: It really depends on the discipline and class. Kids can become as involved as they choose. Upon graduation, members of the Conservatory who complete all three levels will have put in over 1,000 hours of work outside the regular school day.
Destin previously won the Jury Prize at the

USS Midway Museum Volunteers Share the “Midway Magic” with Visitors by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Robert Genat
V
isitors to the USS Midway Museum are sure to be impressed by the sheer size of the aircraft carrier itself, as well as the dozens of exhibits, activities and tours that are available onboard. According to Laurie Switzer, Director of Volunteer Programs for the USS Midway Museum, another impressive aspect of the museum is the volunteer corps, a dedicated group of men and women who assist the staff in sharing the story of the USS Midway and those who served aboard the carrier during its 50year commission. “The volunteer corps is integral to the general operations and continued success of the museum. Some departments are run almost exclusively by volunteers,” declared Switzer. As stated by Switzer, the USS Midway Museum seeks volunteers to help preserve the legacy of those who serve, inspire future generations and educate, as well as entertain, more than one million visitors a year. The environment onboard the USS Midway has been described as
44 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
having “Midway Magic” and the volunteers strive to keep the magic alive for each and every visitor. “The phrase ‘Midway Magic’ began showing up in the USS Midway cruise books in the 1960s. It is believed to be a crew slogan – a rallying cry for those onboard,” explained Switzer. In 2011, volunteers contributed over 200,000 hours, which is comparable to over 104 full-time staff members. Currently, over 600 volunteers participate on a monthly basis. “Out of those 600 volunteers, over 100 are from North County,” said Switzer. USS Midway Museum volunteers receive benefits such as parking privileges and café and gift shop discounts, but Switzer stated that most volunteers cite giving back to the community as their motivation for participating. “There is also strong camaraderie among the volunteers, as well as a sense of pride in what the USS Midway represents and what has been accomplished,” revealed Switzer. ¢ For more information about how to become a volunteer at the USS Midway Museum, please visit www.midway.org.

Amazingly Greatful “Amazinlee” Dedicated Actress and Model Amy Cintron is the Face of 92130 by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
A
mazinlee” Passionate: Amy ‘Amazinlee’ Citron is an actress and model who has lived here in Carmel Valley for the past three years. Her paswsion and love for acting started when she was a little girl and her mother would record her short skits on a home camera. Her hunger for the spotlight has only grown and flourished since she received her first film role as an extra in the VH1 movie Played. Her resume has grown from there to include parts from film, television, and theatre, to print ads and music video. If she had her choice of a genre of film in which to act, it would be Action – from Mr.and Mrs. Smith to The X-men. “Amazinlee” Dedicated: Amy is serious about her craft as an actress. “Acting is my baby,” she asserted. Amy attended Grossmont and Mesa Community colleges here in San Diego, where she studied Theatre, Mime, Dance, and Acting for Film and Television. She has worked for San Diego’s Stu Segal Studios, with background appearances in many shows and a permanent extra role in Veronica Mars. Recently she was in a Doritos commercial and played a role in an independent film. Currently she is working on two locally produced shows for San Diego’s Public Access Channel. Her typical day is stressful but thrilling. “You have to work ten times harder to get yourself out there, “Amy said.
“Amazinlee” Independent: Amy’s parents moved to the United States from Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, and she was born in the Bronx, New York, but moved to San Diego when she was two. A few years ago, Amy’s best friend brought her to Carmel Valley as a roommate, and despite the challenges of more limited film and television opportunities here, she’s “been in love with the community ever since.” She loves the Torrey Pines State Beach and shopping at the Del Mar Town Center. “Amazinlee” Grateful: Amy’s mother was a resilient, independent woman Amy always looked at as “Superwoman.” Although her father was an important figure in her life, her mother raised four girls alone (in a house with only one bathroom), and is a reason Amy shared, “I am a strong, independent woman with a passion and goal in life. I will not give up until I achieve it.” Amy, 92130 is “Amazinlee” lucky to have you in their community! ¢

hile the weather in North County may say summer, the apple trees in Julian are whistling fall, and the u-pick orchards are in full swing. Head east on Highway 78 for about an hour, and you’ll find yourself in the mountain town of Julian, an official California Historical Landmark. The clear, crisp mountain air supports the apple crop and this year, the yield is high. “The apple trees are completely full,” said Arnie of Apple Starr Orchards. He began welcoming apple pickers the first week of September and expects to host more through the end of October. He grows five varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, and Red Delicious. Just a handful of Julian orchards still welcome apple pickers, for a fee. Most are open daily, but be sure to call ahead and make an appointment. Since the owners are busy tending the crop, they are not always available,

in their office or by the phone, but we had good luck reaching a few. Apples and Art Orchards provides apple picking with a tour of the orchard for groups of ten or more as well as the opportunity to make and taste fresh cider from their pesticide-free apples. Raven Hill Orchard also welcomes pickers to their 8,000 acre orchard where you’re likely to see some of owner Patrick Brady’s unique sculptures as well. Can’t get enough apple fun? The Julian Apple Days Festival will be held at the Menghini Winery the weekend of October 6-7. Appled out? The Julian Mining Company doesn’t offer apple-picking, but they do invite you to choose a pumpkin out of the patch and participate in a wide variety of kid-friendly activities like hayrides, panning for gold, and candle dipping, to name a few.

nn Deakers first learned about Canine Companions for Independence while teaching at St. James Academy in Solana Beach, and her life hasn’t been the same since. Canine Companions for Independence provides, at no charge, service dogs for adults and children with any disability other than blindness. “A parent of one of my students was raising a puppy [for the organization]. I thought it would be fun to take a dog to work every day. My first graders were always ready and willing to help train the puppy,” revealed Ann. However, as she and her students found out, having a puppy in a busy classroom had many challenges, and as she put it, the class mantra quickly became “let sleeping dogs lie.” Over the years, Ann has raised five puppies for Canine Companions for Independence. “After I retired from teaching in 2007, I decided to keep my last pup and certify her for therapy. She’s a sweet golden retriever named America,” said Ann. America and Ann pay weekly visits to the Veteran’s Administration Hospital with several other therapy dogs through the organization Love on a Leash. Ann and America also visit Conway Elementary School in Escondido on a weekly basis. “Children in a fourth grade class of
52 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
second language learners read to America. Practicing reading to dogs, who are totally nonjudgmental, has proven to increase fluency,” explained Ann. When America visits the Conway students she wears her red cape from another organization with which Ann has become involved—Therapy Dogs, Inc. Just when Ann thought she was finished training puppies, she encountered Tender Loving Canines Assistance Dogs while shopping at Flower Hill Mall. “After further research, I decided to join their group and am currently raising a five-month-old golden doodle named Indy. The organization trains service dogs for children with autism. They recently branched out to Wounded Warriors and grant dogs to veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,” related Ann. She will keep Indy until he begins his working career at about two years of age. Ann and Rod, her husband of 42 years, have lived in Carmel Valley for 25 years and are amazed at the growth that has taken place in the region. When Ann isn’t “going to the dogs,” she enjoys reading, knitting, crafting and spending time with their three children and two grandchildren.

Helping Senior Veterans, their Spouses and Families Get the Benefits they’ve Earned by KATHY LOY
A
s we age, it can be frustrating to forget where you placed your eye glasses or what was on your grocery list that you left in the car, but imagine the difficulty many senior-aged veterans have trying to obtain benefits while navigating the maze that is also called “the VA.” The saving grace for many veterans, their surviving spouses, and their families is Veteran’s Friend, a community service co-founded by Robert Dhillon and Kate Seelye. “Our call-to-duty and pledge is to help veteran families navigate the VA process correctly, protect themselves, and obtain this tax-free lifetime benefit by providing free assistance in the preparation and presentation of their claim before the VA,” explained Robert. “Like any other large government department, the VA is complex and bureaucratic. Its rules, regulations, forms and procedures can be very confusing and daunting at times, especially for seniors,” said Robert. Veteran’s Friend will listen first, then provide simple, honest answers to folks who are worried about the rising cost of long term care that is often needed by seniors. Robert and Kate are uniquely qualified to help veterans deal with the issues they face in obtaining these VA benefits. Robert, now a VA accredited claims representative, served in the US Navy and Department of Defense, and graduated
58 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2012
from London University with a degree in Education. Later, he spent 25 years consulting for the armed forces and large international banks. Kate, now in Senior Precision Support, has lived in the San Diego area for over 50 years and has worked in the financial services industry for over 20, while also running a small alternative holistic health practice. “We understand how stressful it can be for families of veterans, often in crisis or planning for long term care for aging parents. We provide precision answers, support, legal representation and guidance through the VA’s eligibility and application maze,” said Robert. Besides helping with their benefits, Veteran’s Friend also works to warn and guard senior veterans and widows against elder abuse practices of unscrupulous financial services companies that prey on this group of citizens. They host local events and breakfasts to bring young service men and women and older veterans together to provide education in estate and retirement planning, college education planning and long term care. If you or someone you know may need their help, give Robert or Kate a call or visit the Veteran’s Friend website. ¢

Don’t Let Allergies & Asthma Add to Halloween Fright
W
hile vampires, witches, ghosts and ghouls haunt us all on Halloween, children with food allergies, allergic rhinitis and asthma also need to beware of the triggers that lurk in candy, costumes, makeup and decorations that may cause a reaction to spoil spooky fun. Board certified allergist Dr. Kusum Sharma of AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine, a member of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) suggests the following tips to keep little goblins with allergic conditions safe this Halloween: Keep an eye on “fun size” treats – Even if a full-sized treat is allergen free candy, don’t assume their “fun size” counterpart is safe too. These mini-candies can contain different ingredients or might be made at a facility where allergens are present. Unmask allergens in costumes, makeup and decorations – Masks and costumes may contain latex and other common allergens so be sure to read their labels. Makeup, hair dyes and decorations can include irritants that trigger asthma, cause a delayed itchy allergic reaction called contact dermatitis, or make existing atopic dermatitis (eczema) worse. Be sure your child totes more than a candy bag – If your goblin has asthma or a lifethreatening allergy, don’t start trick or treating without packing emergency medicines such as quick-relief inhalers or injectable epinephrine in case of a severe reaction. Scare asthma away – Masks can interfere with breathing, so children with asthma should opt for a half mask or no mask at all. Also keep in mind that cold weather, running from house to house for candy and allergens such as mold spores hiding in piles of leaves can flare up asthma. Control consumption – Feed your goblins before they go trick or treating so they are less tempted to snack on potentially problematic candy. When you’re back home, trade allergen-free candy you’ve purchased for the candy they’ve collected. Make your home the haunted house – Consider forgoing trick or treating altogether and invite your child’s friends for a party, where you can control the food and offer fun activities. “When people think of Halloween-associated allergies, they focus on candy and often overlook many other potential triggers,” said Dr. Kusum Sharma. “By planning ahead, you can ensure not only safe treats, but also safe costumes, make up, accessories, and decorations.” Visit www.AKANEinstitute.com to take a Relief Self-Test for you or your child and learn more about allergies and asthma. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Market Surging, Radio Show, Expired Guarantee by SCOTT VOAK
T
he market continues to gain steam, and now the mainstream press is reporting it as the indexes are turning positive year-over-year. We are still sitting about 39% below the peak here in San Diego, but we have come up 6% from the bottom. The important thing for real estate values is that real estate is looking pretty cheap compared to other investments (the stock market is up 99% from its bottom) and if/when we hit another recession in 2013, I expect real estate will hold up well and actually be a “safe haven” for people looking to move money from riskier investments. The fact that many people are still under water and waiting until values increase to sell their properties is going to keep the inventory levels low; however, as prices rise, more and more homes will come on the market and this should keep prices from moving up too rapidly. So, my feeling is that we are going to see solid and steady growth for the next couple of years. How comfortable am I with the market? Comfortable enough that if you have tried to sell your San Diego home anytime since January 1, 2011 and could not, I will use my Rainmaker Marketing System and sell your home for the same price you previously had it listed (or more), or I will rebate you my commission through escrow. That’s right. I’ll take all the risk. Part of my willingness to do this is my belief the market is going to stay strong, but I also have a rock solid belief in our Rainmaker Marketing Program and now, we have added radio to our marketing toolkit. I have launched Real Estate Matters, a daily 30-minute show on KFSD am1450. The show airs weekdays at 6pm and is another great tool for marketing. ¢
