FROM THE PUBLISHER VO L . 8, N O. 6 TM
Welcome to the ‘20s
I
t’s easy to get excited for a new year. Resolutions are made. People dream of what the new year holds. But a new decade is an entirely different beast. Welcome to the ‘20s! I can only imagine what this new decade will bring. The ‘20s will be the third decade of my adult life (considering adult life to be post-college). When I look back at everything that has happened over the past couple of decades, I can’t help but get excited for what’s yet to come. Our oldest daughter, Ashley, is scheduled to get her M.B.A. in May. Starting the ‘20s off with a major accomplishment, the coming years will certainly be exciting for her as she enters the first decade of her adult life. Our son, Peyton, and youngest daughter, Audrey, are in the middle of their high school years. They will experience high school graduation and their college years during the ‘20s – and then some. My wife and I will each hit a major age milestone during the ‘20s – yikes! And it appears, as long as things go as planned, that we are likely to become empty nesters later in the decade. How crazy is that? I hope that the ‘20s will deliver the same type of hectic joy that the last decade has brought. Although I would love for things to simply slow down, I can’t Derrick Breaux help but imagine how we will all look back at the ‘20s once Publisher they have come and gone. And since a new year and decade would not be as fun without resolutions, rest assured that I have a few that I’m working on. You’ll have to stay tuned for the updates. Happy new year (decade) from the Breaux family to yours!
Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

SUSAN LEE SETS HERSELF APART ON THE STAGE
by LIZ ONUFER | photo by PortrArt Creations
O
n April 19, Susan Lee will be the featured soloist performing Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 at the Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall. Even as a seasoned performer, what sets Susan apart is her age: a 16-year-old performing a full concerto backed by an orchestra is a rare event. Susan’s passion for the violin and music began when she was just seven years old. Susan wanted to emulate her older sister, Sarah, after listening to her play. “I think I ended up making a good choice as I haven’t regretted my decision since then and don’t think I would be the same person without the violin,” Susan shared. Over the years, Susan’s commitment to music and practice has earned her a number of prestigious awards. Most recently, she won first place in the San Diego Youth
music. “I’ve gotten to meet so many amazing people.” And it’s an experience like this that is the reward for all her practice and motivation. “It was daunting for me to stick through it all and practice at first, but it’s paid off as I’ve improved as a musician,” Susan shared. Susan thrives equally in the classroom as a junior at Canyon Crest Academy as she does on the stage. She has created Rise Up Tutoring with a few friends to offer tutoring to local students and then donates the revenue to schools around San Diego. She also participates in the Neuroscience Club and Science Olympiad. Looking ahead, Susan knows music will continue to be an instrumental part of her life. “I hope to keep performing,” she shared, “as I love how happy people become after listening to music, and I love how happy it makes me feel whenever I perform.”
I “ love how happy people become after listening to music...” Symphony Concerto Competition, the Temecula Valley Symphony Young Artists Concerto Competition, and the H.B. Goodlin Scholarship Competition. She has played in the NYO2 program sponsored by Carnegie Hall over the past few summers, and currently serves as concertmaster for the San Diego Youth Symphony’s advanced symphony orchestra and chamber orchestra. Susan’s upcoming performance at Copley Hall is a unique opportunity for her. “I’m most excited about performing with an orchestra. Most of the time I only get to rehearse and perform pieces with the piano, so performing with an orchestra is a whole new experience,” she acknowledged. For Susan, this is part of the joy of 12 • 92130MAGAZINE.COM • February | March 2020

WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY NECESSARY? IS
by TARKAN SIDAL, DDS, MD
S
urgical management of impacted third molars (wisdom teeth) is a common treatment frequently offered in oral and maxillofacial surgery offices.
Despite how common the treatment is, removing wisdom teeth is not without controversy – some critics would argue that in the absence of disease or symptoms, patients would be subjected to pain, risk, and unfavorable economic outcome. However, strong peer reviewed research shows that retained wisdom teeth may involve periodontal pathology (gum disease) despite patients showing no symptoms. The negative impact of periodontal pathology may not be limited to the wisdom teeth region, but rather can have systemic (bodily) affects. Patients with no symptoms also may have carious wisdom teeth, eventually decaying the tooth next to it. Wisdom teeth should be considered for removal when there is clinical and radiographic evidence of acute or chronic periodontitis (gum disease), pericoronitis (infection and inflammation of excess tissue over the impacted tooth), negative impact on adjacent teeth or not enough space in the jaw forcing the teeth to erupt improperly and grow in
sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. In most patients some variation of these findings are present, making the person a candidate for wisdom teeth removal. In addition, wisdom teeth that are in the area of future jaw surgery or are interfering with orthodontic care also should be removed. All in all, the decision of wisdom teeth removal comes to life in most cases with two doctors bringing their expertise to the table, a general dentist and an oral surgeon. In an orthodontic care scenario, a general dentist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon may work in concert to make a recommendation in the patient’s best interest. Poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted or have a communication with the oral cavity, the gum opening around the teeth can allow food and bacteria to enter an uncleansible space around the tooth. This condition will eventually cause an infection and/ or cavities and gum disease. The result: swelling, discomfort, pain, and illness. The impingement from the incorrectly erupting wisdom teeth may damage other teeth and disrupt the natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. Removal of offending impacted teeth might prevent possible future problems of this nature.

92130 Author Publishes Second Novel Carmel Valley resident and young adult author Nikki Katz recently published her second novel, The King’s Questioner. The book, published and distributed by Swoon Reads, is about a boy named Kalen who has been cursed with a gift: he’s a mental picklock, able to access a person’s memories and secrets by touch. His skills make him the perfect questioner to the king, and he spends his days interrogating prisoners of the crown. But when Kalen’s estranged childhood friend, Prince Cirrus, falls into a sudden coma, the king begs Kalen to intervene. By accessing Cirrus’ mind, Kalen saves his life – and uncovers a terrifying secret that could topple the kingdom. Nikki is also the author of The Midnight Dance, as well as four nonfiction puzzle and games books. “I’m so very thankful for my readers,” Nikki said. “I love the idea that something (beyond my children) will live beyond me. Some time, some year, some place, a child may pick up one of my books and read it.” The King’s Questioner is available anywhere books are sold, including most online bookstores.

Del Sol Lions Are Committed to Making the Community a Better Place
20 • 92130MAGAZINE.COM • February | March 2020
I
n February, the Del Sol Lions Club celebrates its 10th
anniversary – a decade of serving the local communities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, and Rancho Santa Fe
through programs addressing four areas of need, including at-risk youth and families, hunger, visual impairment, and veterans. We speak with Del Sol Lions Club President David Cain to learn more about how the club plans to expand its impact in the next 10 years.
t c i o A n n i s Q&A with Del Sol Lions Club President David Cain What is the Lions Club mission?
To serve the local community and to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions clubs. Put simply, we serve…one act of service, one encouraging word, one act of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it is needed most. Over the past 100 years the kindness of 1.4 million Lions members has multiplied across the globe and right here in our Del Sol Club community. Please give us a brief history of the Del Sol Lions Club. When was it founded and by whom?
The Del Sol Lions Club was founded on Feb. 10, 2010 to serve the communities of Del Mar,
Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe. Shortly after establishing the club, we formed the Del Sol Lions Foundation, a 501(c)(3), to allow us to better partner and serve the community. All of the money raised by the foundation goes into the north coastal community. What communities and organizations does the club serve? Primarily the north coastal communities. Since its inception 10 years ago, the Del Sol Lions have completed 225 service and fundraising projects, totaling over 11,000 volunteer hours! To date, the Del Sol Lions Foundation has raised $360,000 and already reinvested $287,000 back into the local community with programs addressing four

areas of need: at-risk youth and families, hunger, visual impairment, and veterans. Our major focus is North County San Diego. Within this local community, programs range from providing back-to-school supplies, eye exams /glasses for at-risk kids, food distribution to local families in need, and donations to other nonprofits doing critical work including Next Step Service Dogs, Blind Stokers Club, and the Community Resource Center, to highlight a few of our projects.
working with our club membership and its service projects. There is satisfaction in watching the development of projects, assisting with making them work, and guiding the formation of new projects that benefit the Del Sol community. A major role is ensuring our members have the financial and project resources to get things done. That is sometimes easier said than done.
How did you personally become involved with the Del Sol Lions?
The most rewarding aspect is knowing that we are having a large, tangible positive impact on the people we serve. The challenge is there is always more to do! It’d be great to have a few more volunteers to further expand the programs we offer.
Personal invitation by two charter members. As a lifetime resident of our service area, my business activity provided insight with certain needs of our community. Business and social contacts and friends over the years would comment on food needs of members of the community. Others would reference the dynamics of the St. Leo’s community health service program. Some would comment on the need for kids programs, educational books, and school nutrition. Helping to serve these and other social needs prompted the formation of Del Sol Lions Club. What is your current role within the club, and what duties does it entail? Serving as a fourth term club president has been a positive experience and focusing mainly on organization. While it is time consuming there is satisfaction in 22 • 92130MAGAZINE.COM • February | March 2020
What is the most rewarding aspect of what you do? The most challenging?
How many members does the club currently have? 23. What kinds of activities is the club involved with? On the service side, we have a range of programs including back-to-school supplies and eye exams/glasses for at-risk kids, food distributions to 60-70 local families in need, and donations to other nonprofits doing critical work including Blind Stokers, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Resource Center. Recently, we received a $40,000 grant to set up a new training program for Next Step Service Dogs,
a group that assists vets and first responders suffering from PTSD. Can you elaborate on some of the projects you’ve worked on in the past? Since inception, we have partnered with Solana Beach schools to provide eye exams/glasses for underserved children, partnered with Casa de Amistad to provide school supplies and reading books, and partnered with the La Colonia Boys & Girls Club to provide a range of things including calculators, homework rewards, and career launch meeting snacks. We support the visually impaired by funding things like tandem cycling and adaptive wall climbing to the Blind Stokers, providing vision aids like canes and specialty devices to the San Diego Center for the Blind, and by providing MTS bus passes and new doors at the Blind Community Center. We recently helped purchase sleeping bags for homeless veterans throughout the county. We’re excited by the $40,000 grant secured for Next Step Service Dogs to create a Dog Training Academy for Veterans (DTAV). This program trains vets to become dog trainers so they have gainful employment. We also partner with the San Diego Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and Community Resource Center to address local food scarcity issues.
When and where does the club meet? Fletcher Cove Community Center on the fourth Tuesday of the month. What are the Del Sol Lions’ short-term and long-term goals? Continue to grow membership and continue to increase the positive impact we make as a group to the local community. Are there any exciting projects, events, or programs coming up? I would like to mention that we received $15,000 from the Pittsburg Foundation in November to facilitate grants directly to aid American Samoa, as well as the local community. We worked with a local family on a humanitarian aid package that has been assembled and will ship to the island soon. We are reaching out to the Samoan community in north county and especially Oceanside, in order to make distributions to directly benefit that specific audience. The Del Sol Lions Board met recently to prioritize and discuss the potential recipients for the remaining funds, which we hope to distribute in the first quarter. What have been some of the club’s most memorable achievements over the years?
Obtaining large grants to help other local nonprofits fulfill their ability to help the local community. Being able to annually provide backpacks and school supplies to over 250 local needy youth. How would interested community members get involved in the Del Sol Lions Club? What are the criteria for membership? Contact one of the directors or call me directly. You just need a willingness to volunteer and commit minimum time to projects. What can new members expect when joining the club? New members will be welcomed by current members into an energized group of volunteers that want to continue helping the local community. Members can become immersed in all of the fundraising and volunteering efforts we do or pick one or two projects they want to focus on.

DENTIST PROFILE
g n i n e p O Grand THE SUPER DENTISTS OPEN SIXTH LOCATION IN ESCONDIDO
by SAMANTHA EDWARDS | photo provided by The Super Dentists
D
r. Kami Hoss and The Super Dentists recently announced the opening of their muchanticipated sixth location in Escondido. The new office will feature the first-ever Super Slide for kids (and adults!), transporting them from the main pediatric and orthodontic level to the lower VIP level, where there is a separate lounge and treatment area for teens and parents with amenities like massage chairs, complimentary childcare, aromatherapy, and customized lattes. The Super Dentists team started to make a positive impact in the Escondido community even before the new office opened. They have been making connections with the Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Association, Tourism Board, and local businesses and groups such as IcePlex, San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum, and Girl Scouts. The Super Dentists are a premier sponsor of Grin Land at the San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum, an exhibit that shows kids that a visit to the dentist doesn’t have to be scary. They also sponsored the Children’s Stage at the Grand Avenue Festival in October, the Escondido Chamber of Commerce’s Community in Unity event in December, and plan to get involved in more Escondido events in the coming year. “Escondido is an amazing community and we’re excited to introduce Escondido families to an out-of-this-world dental experience,” said Dr. Kami Hoss. “We look forward to being a good neighbor and are actively seeking additional opportunities to connect with the Escondido community.” Since 1996, Dr. Kami Hoss and his wife and business partner, Dr. Nazli Keri, have built The Super Dentists into the largest, most trusted, and top-awarded pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and parent dentistry practice in San Diego. All of their dentists who work on kids are specialists in pediatric dentistry, and The Super Dentists use the latest in dental technology to make children’s dental visits more comfortable. The superhero-themed offices feature lounges with games and movies, all with the goal of creating positive associations with going to the dentist. The Super Dentists Escondido office is now open for business and taking appointments. They will host a grand opening celebration for the community in the spring. The event will include a Free Dental Day, where The Super Dentists provide complimentary dental exams to children in need.

UNBREAKABLE Dr. Mark Goldstein Shares His Knowledge and Passion for Animals With the Community
by JENNIFER FRAKES photo by Soul of Photography
M
ark Goldstein, DVM has spent over 40 years caring, advocating, and fighting for the welfare of animals. Ever since Mark was a small child, he was drawn to all animals, from insects to horses. “I was fortunate enough to attend Cornell University, and the more I learned from the best minds in animal medicine, the more I knew it was my calling,” revealed Mark. He was a senior staff clinician in the medicine department at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston and, before moving to the West Coast with his wife and daughters, Mark was the head of the Boston Zoos. Once relocated in California, Mark led the Los Angeles Zoo before taking the helm of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA. Although Mark is officially retired, he continues to share his knowledge and passion with fellow animal lovers. “Once a veterinarian, always a veterinarian. I love consulting about issues that my friends and my colleagues are facing with their pets. I also enjoy speaking at youth events and schools and at a variety of other events. As I entertain and educate, I get to shine a light on the importance of the human-animal bond,” said Mark. He also serves as a mentor to young adults who are thinking about careers in animal welfare. Recently, Mark selected memories and stories that span his career as a veterinarian, zoo director, and animal advocate and wrote a book titled Lions and Tigers and Hamsters. “My amazing grandchildren inspired me to write this book,” he shared. “I love telling them about my adventures, like being tossed around by an elephant or examining a rhino who was still alert.” The book also discusses the cost of veterinary medicine and other issues regarding animal welfare and the human-animal bond. Mark enjoys living in coastal North County San Diego, an area that is dog-friendly, has walking paths that wind through natural habitats, and is close to the ocean. However, Mark especially loves the warm and welcoming community. “It’s a joy living in a city that allows me to fall asleep at night knowing good people are doing their best to love and care for all animals,” he said. “People here embody my philosophy – caring for animals and their welfare and understanding the value of the human-animal bond is part of what makes up the fabric of a healthy community.” Dr. Goldstein’s book is available on Amazon and will be added to the bookstores at the San Diego Zoo next year. A book signing is planned for mid-February. Join the Lions and Tigers and Hamsters Facebook page for more details.

ORAL SURGEON PROFILE
Dr. Tarkan Sidal Provides Procedures with Compassionate, Quality Care by MICHELLE TREMBLAY photo by Jessica Breaux
Torrey Pines Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
S
ince its establishment in 1977, Torrey Pines Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery continues to grow and maintain its high standard of excellence. Three years ago, Dr. Tarkan Sidal took over the practice with a commitment to uphold its extraordinary reputation. “I enjoy following the footsteps of the original founders of Torrey Pines Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery by providing patient-centered care,” said Dr. Sidal. “I am committed to providing the finest individual care and exceptional service in every aspect of patient treatment.” Torrey Pines Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery offers a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery ranging from dental implant surgery, bone grafting, and wisdom teeth removal, to trauma, jaw surgery, and pathology. “If surgery needs to be performed in the hospital and a hospital stay is required, I am on staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital, Sharp Memorial Hospital, Scripps Mercy Hospital, and Scripps Clinic,” noted Dr. Sidal. “We also diagnose and treat orofacial pain, facial injuries, and fractures.” Dr. Sidal prides himself on having a kind and compassionate approach toward his patients – a quality that helps to set his practice apart from others in its industry. “We believe in traditional values such as excellent customer service and personalized attention to our patients, and we treat every patient as if they were part of the family,” explained Dr. Sidal. “We pride ourselves on attention to detail. We will make sure to fully explain the necessary procedures to patients and answer any questions they might have.” Both a licensed physician and oral maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Sidal is expertly skilled in caring for face and jaw conditions. After receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California, San
Francisco (UCSF), Dr. Sidal participated in several oral and maxillofacial surgery internship and externship programs. He then completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center. “Upon completing medical school, my curiosity in learning and everlasting passion in the dentistry, medicine and surgery, brought me back home to UCSF where I completed a prestigious Chief Resident appointment in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as well as a General Surgery Internship at the UCSF, Department of Surgery,” elaborated Dr. Sidal. “I then embarked on completing two years of rigorous fellowship training at the San Diego Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.” Since then, Dr. Sidal – who is a member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and Oral and Facial Surgeons of California – has participated in various surgical missions to underprivileged communities where he has volunteered to treat patients with maxillofacial defects and injruies. “During my fellowship, I also served as an integral part of an elite reconstructive team of surgeons at the Sharp Memorial Hospital, partnering with Operation of Hope,” recalled Dr. Sidal. Today, Dr. Sidal is enthusiastic about continuing the legacy of Torrey Pines Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and is steadfast on providing a personalized and relaxed atmosphere with a professional staff that is focused on building trusting relationships with patients. “We believe in compassion and your comfort tops our list of priorities,” shared Dr. Sidal. “We are advocates of healthy quality living, body and soul nourishment for supporting healthier and productive lives, and we believe in patient care where patients are evaluated as a whole and not just focused on parts.”

STUDIO WEST T
he Recording Arts Center at Studio West is pleased to announce that the year-long Diploma in Recording Arts program has been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for VA funds. This means that The Recording Arts Center can continue to proudly serve veterans with the added benefit of funding support for the program. While the lack of fund support has not stopped veterans from joining the Diploma program in the past, now the Studio is able to better support a wider range of vets in starting a career in the field of audio engineering. “The approval by the VA’s office is a wonderful benefit that we are extremely pleased to offer our veteran students,” Peter Dyson, owner of Studio West, said in a recent interview. “The Diploma in
Recording Arts imparts so much useful knowledge and skill building that it has been a great way for our graduates to start a new career. That we are now able to offer it to more veterans with the support of their VA funds is amazing.” With the majority of eligible graduates and alumni using their knowledge to pursue a career, the year-long Diploma program offers a solid foundation for audio engineers. Classes are held in a worldclass studio and offer participants the chance to get hands-on experience in a professional environment. To learn more about joining the
program, with or without VA funds, please contact Todd Hunsaker, Director of Admission, at todd@StudioWest.com or 858-592-9497. More information can also be found at www.StudioWest.com.
