:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 2, No. 4
Keepsake Box I recently discovered something very special. While shifting boxes around and cleaning out our family’s ministorage, I came across a keepsake box that my mother kept things in over the years. It had “Derrick (High School Stuff)” written on the outside. The funny thing is that I actually set it aside for a few weeks prior to going through it. The box wasn’t fancy. It was just an old cardboard box that had seen better days. I wasn’t expecting it to be all that interesting. Wow – talk about a trip down memory lane when I actually dove into the box of photos, newspaper clippings, school projects and other memorabilia! I don’t think that I was adequately prepared for the nostalgic emotional roller coaster that I was about to embark on. Many people say that they would never go back to high school…I have a much different position on this topic – I had a blast in high school. What started as a brief exploration of the “box of goodies” turned into several hours of reminiscing. I kicked my feet up and spent time showing my skeptical children old photos and newspaper clippings from my childhood and teenage years. It was fun to share stories with my family and actually have physical things – real evidence – to refer to. My kids may have even been a little impressed. Well, let’s just say that at least they were curious. As our society continues to move into the faster-paced digital world, I will continue to remind myself of the importance of saving these types of tangible items for my own kids to explore and reminisce with one day. My intentions are to figure out a way to bridge the gap between our digital age and physical world – I want to be able to pass on a similar “box” to them. In this issue of 92131 Magazine, we are excited to introduce an incredible new technology that accompanies the physical printed magazines. This new interactive technology will not only further engage 92131’s readers, but it will also directly link the printed magazines with interactive videos, slide shows and other exclusive content like never before seen – see Tyler’s editorial on page 14. Our very own ZGlass app – which is now available as a free download in the iOS App Store or Google Play – literally brings many elements of our magazine to life right before your eyes on your smart phone or tablet device. Take a minute to visit page 11 to see how easy it is to use, then have fun finding the marked interactive content available throughout this issue – beginning with this page. Don’t worry, you will continue to receive the printed version of 92131 Magazine in your mailbox – this new technology is merely an extraordinary interactive enhancement to your 92131 reading experience. Go ahead, download the ZGlass app and give it a try!

ALIVE IN WILD PRINT by TYLER MCELHANEY Creative Director, ZCode Magazines
Y
ou’ve heard it over and over again. The three words that send chills down the spines of publishers everywhere.
“Print is dead.”
The words have merit - but not in the sense that most people think of while reading about it in an online blog on the subject. I recently read an (online) article about why traditional media companies need to start thinking like Silicon Valley tech start-ups. It blasted companies for putting their content behind paywalls or removing digital content altogether. It went on to praise several print (and other media) companies who have successfully transformed the industry and set the bar for print and online content and products. You may have noticed some “updates” to this issue of 92131 Magazine. These transformations are more than just a facelift. We are turning new pages faster than we can finish them. We have three big developments to unveil in this issue of 92131 Magazine. First, our magazine division has a new name, ZCode Magazines. With the launch of three more magazines in Encinitas and South Carlsbad, we wanted to make sure our nine magazines could be unified under a name synonymous with our publications. Second, we are getting ready to move our operations to a brand new, state-of-the-art media center just down the street from our current offices – we will update with photos in the next issue! Third, and what I’m most excited for, is the launch of our brand new app, ZGlass. ZGlass is an augmented reality viewer app we produced to literally bring the pages of 92131 Magazine to life. Watch as articles and advertisements jump off the page into interactive videos, slideshows, internet links and exclusive content. We’re doing something here that is revolutionary. Readers of 92131 Magazine have the ability to be on the ground floor for an entirely new way of turning your local, tangible magazine into an awe-inspiring showcase for the students, families and businesses all around us. With our print publications growing at an unprecedented pace, adding new and exciting ZGlass technology allows us to pack in even more local content into each printed and online issue. The next time you hear someone say that “print is dead”, simply pull this issue of 92131 Magazine out, launch your ZGlass app on your iPad and show them that print in 92131 is just starting to come to life. ¢

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD
k c e h C t! u it O Cronk Makes Scripps Ranch Library a Rich Community Resource by WYNNE LOVE | photos by Spark Photography
B
ob Cronk’s love of libraries started early. Kicked out of one for being too noisy as a child, he now proudly serves as Branch Manager of the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library. Bob has owned a home in Scripps Ranch since 1995, so he is thrilled to be working at his local branch. “When I was offered the position I didn’t hesitate to accept,” recalled Bob. “This is one of the largest and busiest branches in the system and I am honored to be the Branch Manager.” Bob grew up in Torrance and moved to San Diego to attend San Diego State University in 1982. After marrying his wife, Charlotte, a native of Sweden, they decided to raise their family in Scripps Ranch. With the exception of a leave of absence to Sweden in 2000, Bob has worked in the city libraries since 1995. “I love what a library stands for,” Bob explained. “Here you can come and get materials for free. Particularly during these tough economic times, the library is the best deal in town.” Bob has been a library assistant, has run the city bookmobile and served as the Collection Development Librarian. In 2007,
16 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
he completed his Masters in Library and Information Science and soon became branch manager of the Ocean Beach branch. Bob believes libraries are “the cultural touchstone of the community.” He relishes in the variety of materials and programs he is able to offer and is eager to expand its reach. “The library already has a rich tradition of offering wonderful concerts and children’s programs,” described Bob. “I want to help carry that forward and add to it.” Recent additions include a weekly Zumba
class and a monthly movie night. The Friends of the Library help make such programs possible. “To say I am impressed by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library is a huge understatement,” shared Bob. “They run our ongoing book sale in the Book Nook and do it all simply because they love their library.” When he’s not enjoying programs at the library, Bob likes skiing, hiking and camping with his wife and sons, Nickolas, a junior at Scripps Ranch High School, and Aleksander, who just graduated and is headed to Colorado State in the fall. ¢

Break Into Song with the Children’s Choir by JENNIFER FRAKES

hildren who participate in the San Diego Children’s Choir (SDCC) can expect to not only receive an education in music, but also experience rehearsing, performing and being part of a culturally diverse team. “The SDCC provides the youth of San Diego with the highest quality choral music education and performance experience, [while also] fostering an awareness of cultural diversity and inspiring a lifelong love of music,” said Danielle Balestra, Community Relations Coordinator. According to Danielle, the SDCC is open to boys and girls ages 4 to 18, from all racial, ethnic, religious and economic backgrounds. The SDCC was founded in 1990 by Polly Campbell, an avid lover of music and musical education. “We began with only a single branch and two choir levels. The choir now has five branches with four choir levels and over 250 participants,” explained Danielle. Currently, there are five locations for the core choral program – Mira Mesa, Rancho
18 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
Bernardo, Del Mar, Hillcrest and Allied Gardens. “We also have an SDCC Neighborhood Choir outreach program that spans City Heights, Imperial Beach and National City,” said Danielle. In addition to weekly rehearsals at a site that is convenient for each child, participants in the SDCC will perform in multiple concerts, performances and enrichment programs throughout the year. The children perform one large concert per semester with the most recent being a children’s opera, Noye’s Fludde, at Copley Symphony Hall. For the older children there is typically an international tour each year. “The choir has performed in Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy,” Danielle mentioned. The SDCC is divided into four main levels: Preparatory (grades 1–2), Intermediate (grades 3–5), Concert (grades 6–9) and Youth (grades 10–12). There is also the Early Year program for children ages 4–5. Membership in the SDCC is by audition, with the exception of the preparatory level. “The purpose of the audition is to insure the potential chorister
has a healthy voice and can sing on pitch,” explained Danielle. The fees for membership are graduated based on choir level, and sibling discounts as well as scholarships are available. “The policy for the SDCC is to keep tuition affordable for all members of the San Diego community,” stressed Danielle. ¢ For more information about the SDCC, including the upcoming Making Music Summer Camp, visit www.sdcchoir.org.

SRHS Student Aaron Huott is Ready to Make his Mark on the World by KATHY LOY | photos by Spark Photography
Aaron
Huott is going places! He has lived in the Willows neighborhood of Scripps Ranch since 2000 when his family moved there. “It is a small, but very tight knit neighborhood and everyone is friendly,” said Aaron. He feels similarly about his current school, Scripps Ranch High School, saying “I love [SRHS] because it is such a welcoming community and is a blend of every kind of person. Everyone comes together with school spirit and is genuinely kind to one another on a day to day basis.” The 18-year-old senior has maintained over a 4.0 GPA each year, has been awarded the Scripps Ranch Old Pros Scholarship, won Battle of the Bands with his band “Puzzled”, received the Scholar Athlete award from the High School Sports Association of San Diego and been named “ Mr. Scripps Ranch.” Aaron says his favorite class is the Associated Student Body. “This is where great people come together to be the voice of the students and work together to make fun activities happen on campus,” said
20 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
Aaron. “I would strongly recommend to people who want to help be a part of the decision making at their school to join such a spirited community.” Aaron credits his friends and family for supporting him in expressing his passion for music and performing. “I have always had a passion for music. I have grown up singing and playing guitar, yet I also challenge myself with the piano, ukulele, drums, and on occasion, the harmonica,” said Aaron. His faith also plays an important role in his life. “My faith inspires me to be the best person I can be. I have been able to conquer many pressures and challenges I have been faced with in my life and owe everything to God. I am inspired every day to be myself and be compassionate to everyone,” he said. Next year, Aaron will be studying at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A year from then, he may not even be in this country. He said, “I see myself studying abroad, exploring what the world has to offer. I want to experience different cultures and see different places – to become a more traveled person.” Bon voyage, Aaron…the world is yours to explore. ¢
Lacrosse-tic: A Story of Champions
by KELLEY GUSICH
L
acrosse might prompt your average San Diegan to say, “Oh, that sport’s only big on the East Coast.” Say that again to the 70+ teams that participated in the SDCLA (San Diego County Lacrosse Association) Spring League 2012, and then say it louder to the 22 U15 (under 15) players who won the US Central/Regional Championships on June 10. They won’t hear you.
A C
rlington, Texas was the travel destination for the All-Stars. The players represented all areas of the region including Chula Vista, Scripps Ranch, Poway, La Jolla, Rancho Peñasquitos, Escondido, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad and Del Mar.
oach Tom DeMaio led the championship team to victory in Texas and had much to shout about. “Wow. Our defense…what they accomplished was amazing. We had to be the only team without a handful of 6+ foot monsters roving the field and they proved heart and teamwork can overcome size on any day.”
R O S
adical talent is showcased by the thousands of kids in the San Diego region playing at all levels – from peewee youth to varsity high school teams. The SDCLA league ranges from 5th to 8th grade. However… f the 80 who participated in two-day tryouts at Del Norte High School, only 22 were selected for the U15 San Diego Regional All-Star Team. The positions they filled included 8 midfielders, 5 attack, 1 FOGO (face off get off), 1 long stick midfielder and 2 goalies.
ome individual players rated a shout-out from Coach DeMaio: “This Defense was made up of a leader and solid anchor (Crew), a first year player (Broc), a 13-year-old attack man filling in (Nick), a Temecula nose for the ball LSM (Yordi), and a skilled and tenacious younger 8th grader who told me he has never played in a playoff game (Jake).”
S
trength, tenacity and dedication are the hallmarks of the SDCLA program for all of these middle school-age teams. SDCLA member Sean Ciemewicz raved, “The most exciting part of the team is actually having a group of kids from different parts of town [and] bringing those differences together to form relationships that will last for years to come.”
E
very member of the team loves the game, loves to compete at the game and works hard to better their skills,” Sean commented further. “The average San Diegan should definitely experience lacrosse!”
The Journal of Youths in Science (JOURNYS) Engages Youth in All Aspects of Science by JENNIFER FRAKES
T
he Journal of Youths in Science (JOURNYS) is not your typical science journal. First of all, article topics are as varied as the physics of break dancing to the advent of cutting edge green technology. However, that isn’t the most unique feature of this publication. JOURNYS is a scientific journal created entirely by and for high school students. The student publishers of JOURNYS describe it as “an outlet for high school students to publish their original work and be directly involved in the scientific community.” The mission of JOURNYS is to foster interest and education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by creating not only a publication, but a community of students who share a passion for science and innovation. Members of JOURNYS state that “Through the editing process, [students] receive feedback from a variety of sources: peers, student editors, members in other chapters and the Scientist Review Board – a network of
22 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
professional scientists that reviews articles. With these connections, students can reach out to peers and mentors in the scientific community.” Founded in 2008, JOURNYS began as a school-wide publication for Torrey Pines High School. Known at the time as Falconium, the publication quickly gained recognition and began receiving submissions from students at other schools. In the 2011-12 school year – under the direction of Torrey Pines science teacher Mr. Brinn Belyea – the Falconium became JOURNYS and chapters were established at seven high schools nationwide, including Mt. Carmel, Scripps Ranch and Westview. There are currently over 200 active members. Students involved with JOURNYS describe the idea of an inter-school journal as “promoting collaboration, not competition.” One of the main objectives of JOURNYS is to take science out of the classroom and show students its exciting, real-world applications. Because all aspects of JOURNYS are student-run – including art and web design,
public relations and the writing of grant applications and proposals – there are opportunities for students with a wide variety of interests and talents to become involved. JOURNYS is funded by corporate sponsors GenProbe and Life Technologies, as well as through various awards and grants. JOURNYS representatives shared that the journal recently received a grant from DoSomething.org, a program that recognizes and supports young social entrepreneurs.

Scripps Ranch Women’s Networking Group Providing Supportive Guidance by LINDA FRABL | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
B
orn over iced tea after an intense yoga session in February 2011, the Scripps Ranch Women’s Networking Group (“SRWNG”) has become an amazing reality. Julia Carson, a yoga instructor, and Carmela Kramer, a realtor, conceptualized the idea of creating the networking group for professional women in Scripps Ranch – now in its second year. “Scripps Ranch Women Networking Group first and foremost is dedicated to encouraging and empowering women small business professionals to create heartfelt, meaningful relationships with one another that will, in turn, strengthen their businesses as well as their communities” Kramer said. The group meets from 8 – 9:30 a.m. once per month. The time is allotted for members to socialize, network and enjoy a light breakfast. After a short business meeting, each member is given a chance to briefly tell the group who they are, what their business is, and how the group can help them. Additionally, every meeting features a “Presenter of the Month”, in which a member presents a topic of her choice for 20 minutes in front of the group. “Everyone is typically eager to be a presenter because the sooner we learn about what they are doing, the sooner we can refer customers to them,”
24 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
Kramer mentioned. To increase overall attendance to these presentations, announcements are posted in local publications, as well as on the group’s website, www.srwnetworking.org. Past presenters include Paula Sassi, a Certified Graphologist who discussed handwriting analysis; Etta McQueary, a health and fitness educator; and Vicki Winkelman, a certified financial planner. Initially, the networking group was exclusively for Scripps Ranch women but after growing in size and success, interest from residents and business owners in surrounding communities began to increase. The group decided that if a woman’s business was located in Scripps Ranch or she lived in a nearby community, they would be accepted into the group, as long as their profession wasn’t already represented. “Our model allows only one profession to be represented,” added Carson. “This is so we can promote each woman’s profession exclusively.

hen you enter about the fourth hour of a long road trip, the novelty of a Dairy Queen Blizzard or McDonald’s french fries starts to wear off. Packaged peanut butter crackers and gas station candy selections just won’t cut it anymore. This ultimate road trip trail mix recipe is full of classic ingredients. Of course, the best part about trail mix is that the possibilities of ingredients are endless and can be catered to your own preferences – from chocolate to nuts to fruit – anything goes! This is our take on a homemade favorite.
TRAIL MIX FACTS
• Trail Mix is also known as ‘GORP’ – ‘good old raisins and peanuts’. • Some claim that trail mix was first invented in 1968 by two California surfers who blended peanuts and raisins together for an energy snack. • The first literary mention of trail mix dates back to Jack Kerouac’s 1958 novel The Dharma Bums where the two main characters describe their planned meals in their preparation for a hiking trip. • Trail Mix made news this year when Sony Pictures Entertainment suggested trail mix along with other better-for-you foods for movie theater concession stands instead of candy. ¢

Camping Done the Easy Way by TARA PRITCHETT | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography

here’s nothing like the great outdoors and camping is one way to take it all in, plus it’s hugely exciting for kids. Camping brings a change of pace, fresh air, and the chance to wake up to a chorus of birdsong to name a few things. The adventure allows for families to spend time together while teaching skills that can be useful later life. Trying it close to home, in your own backyard, is a good way to start.
Keep it Simple • Pick a spell of good weather. A soggy tent and muddy ground will probably have you running inside the house. • Pick a date when the kids don’t have school or events the next day. • Don’t have too large a tent. A small one will be much quicker and easier to put up. The smaller the tent, the more enticing to the kids. Better yet, if it’s a clear night, skip the tent altogether and sleep out under the stars.
28 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
• Let the kids take their favorite toys, but try to be unplugged completely while camping. • Don’t forget the bug spray. Camping is fun, bug bites aren’t.
Make it a True Adventure • As much as possible, pretend the house is not there. • Don’t use electricity. • Play some games. A scavenger hunt, a few rounds of tag or a croquet game are all great family activities. • Use crayons to take nature rubbings in your yard or press flowers and leaves into a scrapbook. • Explore your neighborhood. Set out with a compass or map to trek local trails. • Plan a sensational dinner that can be cooked entirely on the barbecue. • Do some bird watching, sing campfire songs and swap ghost stories. Bring a tape recorder so you can record the best

songs and the scariest ghost stories for posterity. Make a campfire. Involve kids in collecting wood and teach them how to light and manage a fire safely. Do some stargazing and be sure to give up on bedtime…everyone will eventually fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Sheltering from the occasional shower can be fun! Arrange a bit of rain using the garden sprinkler. Light the barbecue again after it gets dark so that you can enjoy a late-night marshmallow roast. When all is said and done have all your weary campers gather together for breakfast…either around the fire pit or perhaps make the decision to head inside to your own dining room… because you have that luxury.
Now go outside and set up camp…no travel required! ¢

oy and Jessica Pearson met years ago at a party hosted by the Officer’s Club at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The two ended up hitting it off and today are proud parents to three children: Robert (10), Matthew (8) and Samantha (6). After living in Rancho Peñasquitos for a few years, the Pearsons decided to settle in Scripps Ranch, perhaps for its close knit community. “We love that we see our friends throughout the community – be it at church, baseball, gymnastics, Costco…everywhere,” exclaimed Jessica. For the past six and a half years the family has resided in the Scripps Ranch neighborhood of San Lucena. “We are regulars at [Scripps Ranch’s] Japan House. We’ve almost got the menu memorized,” said Jessica. After earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s

degree from the University of San Diego, Roy is now a Captain for Delta Airlines where he flies B-737s – domestically and internationally – out of the Los Angeles International Airport. Jessica graduated from Portland State University and worked in the recreation field. “I had worked with the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA and military youth centers. My last position was as a coordinator at an after school program in Orange County,” recalled Jessica. Now a self-proclaimed “supermom,” Jessica is still putting her past experience to good use as she heads up Camp Blue Diamond – a backyard day camp for children. “I had read an article about how moms were doing their day camp with their children and friends. I thought ‘I could do this! This is my background.’ Camp Blue Diamond is a fun way to spend time with my children and their friends. It has that summer camp feel – right here in my own neighborhood!”
That’s not all that’s keeping the Pearson family busy. Every spring they conduct a blanket and towel drive to benefit San Diego County’s Animal Control Central Shelter. And the kids hold a snow cone sale every summer, where proceeds also help the shelter. “We have always adopted [our pets] from the shelter and hope more people check out their local shelters when they want to add a new family member,” said Jessica. Clearly, the Pearson’s love for animals shows in their daily life. As a matter of fact, they have seven pets of their own: three cats, two fish, one dog and a frog. ¢

An Inspiration to All
It’s quite a feat that Patrick Ivison graduated from Scripps Ranch High School with a 4.0 grade-point average – but that’s not the only remarkable thing he achieved on June 12. At 14-months-old, Patrick was pinned under a vehicle in a parking lot leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Throughout the years he has defied all odds, participating in skiing, surfing, kayaking, rugby and much more. Patrick decided to set his sights towards graduation and the goal of walking across the stage. So on graduation day, he did just that and walked across the stage with Ricochet, his service dog, and accepted his diploma. Cheers and tears were shared amongst the visibly touched audience and Patrick beamed with pride. Congratulations to you Patrick!

F
rom the custom coffees to the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and popcorn to the wireless connection, Poway Braces does the little things that are important to make patients feel comfortable, at ease and actually excited about visiting the office. “I want my patients and their families to know that I truly care about them,” said Dr. William Thomas, an acclaimed orthodontist who began Poway Braces in 1999. “Not only is it about making their smile and bite really nice, but to also give a total experience that is fun, down to earth, and enjoyable.” A fantastic way to increase selfconfidence, orthodontic treatment – at any age – improves dental health and creates a beautiful smile to share with everyone you meet. Dr. Thomas and his professional staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly and personalized environment – and with the most recent techniques and procedures. “We utilize the latest technological advances in orthodontics, including the Damon system, Invisalign for adults and children,

less inconvenient, and far more comfortable than ever before.” Born and raised in San Diego, Dr. Thomas has been in the specialty practice of orthodontics for 23 years. He graduated from the University of San Diego (Magna Cum Laude), where he was selected outstanding male student, delivered the senior address, and was captain of the Toreros football team
The team at Poway Braces, located at 13376 Poway Road, understands that everyone’s time is valuable; so much emphasis is placed on effectively managing the treatment schedule. “A great majority of our patients are seen on time for their appointments.” Dr. Thomas said. “When you arrive for your appointment, we are ready for you. We treat you, not just your teeth. Your

concerns are our concerns. In addition, Dr. Thomas specializes in personalized care for his patients, providing ample time to each individual. “We are committed to providing you with the personalized orthodontic care you deserve and we always do what is in the best interest of our patients,” he emphasized. “We will exceed your expectations. Our office’s number one priority is to exceed your expectations in our quality of care and service. For the patient, this means a convenient appointment schedule, flexible payment plans, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff with years of orthodontic experience.” Dr. Thomas is especially proud to be in the forefront of practices around the world offering new technology. Among the newer techniques now available at Poway Braces:
Digital X-rays – Not only are all necessary X-rays handled right in the office, but this new technology reduces radiation level by an estimated 90% compared to conventional machines
Self Ligation Braces (Damon Braces) – These provide the ability to keep treatment as comfortable as possible, decrease the need to extract teeth, reduce the need to use palatal expanders, and enhance our ability to give patients a beautiful broad smile
Totally Clear Damon Braces – These new all clear self ligation braces never change color and work exactly as the regular metal braces. For those patients concerned about esthetics, these braces are the perfect choice
Completely custom braces – Poway Braces is one of a select few in the San Diego area that provides totally customized braces and wires through a high tech technology called Insignia. Braces and the wires are customized using specialized computer software and high tech equipment. This treatment allows us to often finish treatment in 10-12 months, rather than the typical 18-24 months
Headgear elimination – Poway Braces uses AdvancSync to correct difficult bites without the use of headgear.

Wilckodontics has been a fantastic treatment option for people not wanting to spend 18-24 months in braces. Total treatment time often is only 4-6 months. But even with all the new technology and innovative treatment methods and procedures, the Poway Braces staff continues to focus on personalized care and specific patient needs. “Imagine an orthodontic office that your son or daughter actually looks forward to visiting,” said Dr. Thomas. “Imagine receiving the individual care and attention from your orthodontist and his professional staff that you expect and deserve. That is our top priority. We care about your comfort and well being.” ¢

ven if you’ve lived in Southern California your whole life, there’s a good chance you’ve only seen a small part of the state. When people travel, they typically skip the off-the-beatenpath destinations and head straight for metropolitan cities. By going on a road trip, you’re giving yourself an opportunity to say “wow, I can’t believe this place actually exists!” We invite you to visit the beaches, campgrounds, mountains and lakes of California this summer. The apps, ABC’s of a California Adventure and games to play while driving to your destinations will have you prepared to get the car ready and inspired to go off the beaten path. Take our advice and think outside the box by experiencing the allure of the open road. Road Trip 2012 will be one for the books.

hen you have the luxury of living in a place where you can surf in the morning and hit the slopes in the afternoon, you know you have it made. Stonebridge residents, Shawn and Melissa Bench along with their three children, Preston (7), Cameron (5) and Avery (2 ½) certainly take advantage of all aspects of living in Southern California. “We love to spend time at the beach, boogie boarding, surfing and building sandcastles. We also like to spend our weekends at the sand dunes in the spring while we hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding in the winter,” said Melissa. Venturing outside of the state on a road trip is also something the Bench family enjoys. Exploring the Olympic Training Center in Park City, Utah is a family favorite. Their dream family road trip includes taking an East Coast history tour while a divine couple’s road trip for Shawn and Melissa would have them taking in Napa Valley’s cuisine, scenery and wine. Melissa was quick to point out to us that snacks and sunscreen are a must for any given road trip, but electronics – not so much. “It’s amazing what you see when you are looking up! I remember playing car bingo with my sister and actually enjoying it.” So, hit the road and keep your head up!

FAMILIES Anderson Valley, CA Hendy Woods State Park In summer, kids spend whole day’s ankle deep in the Navarro River, which flows calmly over fist-size stones through a redwood grove. Gardens and picnic areas at the Anderson Valley wineries are a short drive away. Stop by the Philo Apple Farm for a wander in the orchard and some fresh juice from the honor stand.
Near Santa Barbara, CA Carpinteria State Beach Kids can’t object to a lack of TV if they’re plopped onto a mile-long beach. Reserve early (up to 7 months ahead) for the popular Santa Rosa “beach row” sites, then spend the weekend swimming, surf fishing, and exploring tidepools.
LOCATION SEEKERS
FIRST TIMERS Orange County, CA Live Oak Grove Campground at Caspers Wilderness Park Camp out under the oaks and sycamores in the Santa Ana Mountains without relinquishing life’s little necessities – like flush toilets. Get oriented to the great outdoors at the Saturday night campfire talk or on the Sunday morning ranger walk. The 2.5-mile East Ridge Trail makes a great beginner’s hike.
Near Santa Cruz, CA New Brighton State Beach Set on a pine-shaded bluff above an endless white beach, New Brighton’s 100+ sites get snapped up by those itching for a beach weekend – without the expensive nightly tab. The beach is the real draw, and the hot showers are inviting, but another bonus is that if you forget your matches or just don’t feel like cooking, you can easily grab takeout in town, a five-minute drive away.
ADVENTURERS
Big Sur, CA Treebones Resort
Eastern Sierra, CA Big Pine Creek Campground
A unique lodging and dining experience on California’s breathtaking Big Sur Coast. Their yurts have all the accessibility to the nature of a tent with all the comforts of a cabin.
With a postcard setting at the base of three mountains – the Thumb (13,356 feet), Middle Palisade (14,012 feet), and Norman Clyde Peak (13,855 feet) – this camp is an ideal hub for hikers and climbers. Experts head for the Palisade Glacier—the southernmost in the U.S.–while the less ambitious bask around the waterfalls and wildflowers close to camp and the series of glacial-blue lakes beyond.
Yosemite, CA Tuolumne Meadows Lodge A terrific alternative to the busy Yosemite Valley, this Lodge is just 1 1/2 hours from Curry Village at 8,775 feet in elevation. An ideal base camp for day hikes throughout Yosemite, the Tuolumne Meadows area or before backpacking in the High Sierra. Tuolumne Meadows Lodge is open from approximately early July to mid-September conditions permitting.
42 • 92131Magazine.com • July | August 2012
Near Lake Tahoe, CA Island Lake, Desolation Wilderness A great choice for the first-time backpacker, with moderate effort required for spectacular views in the end. Pack your stuff in 3 miles to overnight at Island Lake beneath soaring Mt. Price. The dramatically stark granite terrain dotted with shock-blue lakes is the definition of high country. Next morning, you’re set to explore the lakes and passes higher up the slope—and out of day-hiker range.
ROAD TRIP GAMES For generations of family travelers, playing 20 Questions and Geography is as much a part of a road trip as filling up the gas tank or stopping for treats. These top 10 road trip games will have you laughing and thinking while making the miles fly by and the “Are we there yet?” question asked a little less frequently.
COUNTING COWS Play as individuals or teams. First, decide on a destination where you will stop counting. Then, count the cows on your side of the road. The goal is to have the highest number when the destination is reached. Pass a cemetery on your side and you have to start over again. If there aren’t any cows on your route, try counting red cars, mailboxes or phone booths. TWENTY QUESTIONS One player thinks of a famous person, place or thing. Everyone else gets to ask the player 20 questions, which must be answered “yes” or “no.” Whoever guesses correctly gets a turn to think up something. GEOGRAPHY Start with any place in the world--Kansas, for example. The next person has to think of a place that begins with the last letter of “Kansas,” such as “South Africa.” Whoever goes next needs a place that starts with an A. A IS FOR ARMADILLO Starting with A, each person tries to be the first to spot and name three items beginning with that letter. For example, the first to see and announce “armadillo, auto and apple” gets to choose the next letter. LICENSE PLATE ID See how many different states you can identify on license plates. LICENSE PLATE LINGO The goal of this game is to come up with a phrase using the letters on another car’s plate. So if you see the plate LMT 823, the first person to call out a somewhat logical phrase such as “Love me tender” or “Lost my tooth” earns a point. SCAVENGER HUNT Make a list of 20 things you will probably see along your trip before you head out, give everyone a copy and see who can find the items first. Winner gets to pick where to stop for lunch. THE CAR NEXT DOOR Invent stories about people in the car next to yours. What do you think they do for work? What’s their favorite food? Where do they go on vacation? Get into lots of details, such as whether they snore loudly or are afraid of spiders. Give them names, hobbies, pets and so on. I SPY Someone says “I spy with my little eye something green.” Whoever guesses correctly goes next. You could limit the items to what’s in the vehicle. Or, you could get tricky and play I Spied, selecting items that you’ve already passed. ARE WE THERE YET? Give each kid 10 coins before the trip. Each time they ask “Are we there yet?” they have to pay the grown-ups a coin. They can earn coins back if they do something nice, such as letting their sibling sit where he or she wants.

:::: ROAD TRIP 2012
MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE
& LAKE If
you’re like most American families, summer vacation usually means you’re heading to the beach, amusement park, or maybe even a big-city adventure. But don’t overlook the fun waiting to be had at our local mountain and lakes. These family-friendly
summer playground destinations are just a simple drive up north a bit.
MAMMOTH In the winter, Mammoth Lakes is the hot spot for the So Cal ski crowd. Skiers stake out a condo or hotel during the season to reap the rewards of abundant snowfall on the majestic mountain. But ask these same people if they’ve visited Mammoth during the summer and the answer will likely be “no.” And that is what makes Mammoth the perfect summer getaway, free from tourists and full of hiking, fishing, biking and outdoor fun. Mammoth is a warm weather playground, with its nine profound blue lakes plus another 100 lakes covering the surrounding countryside. The Mammoth Mountain Ski Area becomes Mammoth Mountain Bike Park in the summer and boasts over 70 miles of trails with access to chairlifts and shuttles. The Panoramoic Gondola tops at 11,053 feet for those who want to watch the ambitious bikers zoom down the slopes. Visit www.mammothmountain. com for summer time adventure guides, information on the July Food & Wine Experience or the popular Mammoth Festival that occurs in mid – August.
BIG BEAR Summertime in Big Bear often comes early and stays late – At 7,000 feet and bursting with sunshine, the warm and welcome mid-season rain showers, and extraordinary nighttime skies are just some of the natural amenities of a road trip to Big Bear. The sunshine rays are more intense than at sea level, shining through the mountain’s clean, light air and low humidity in probable 80- to 90-degree daytime highs. Whether you’re looking for an adventure on a jet ski, family fun on the alpine slides, or just want to chill on a pontoon, Big Bear has it all. And, Big Bear is offering a solution for rising gas prices this summer. Visit www.bigbear.com for details on how to get up to a $100 gas card to put towards your road trip.
YOSEMITE One of America’s favorites, Yosemite Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, one can find grand meadows, deep valleys, gigantic ancient sequoias, a plethora of wilderness areas and much more. The eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park at Tioga Pass (Hwy 120) is a quick 30-minute drive north of Mammoth on Highway 395. Visiting Yosemite National Park during the summer will guarantee access to the entire park via car, as the weather has warmed and snow has completely melted. Summer is the most popular time to visit the park, so be sure to scope out your park reservations well in advance of your trip. Plan your Yosemite road Trip by visiting www.yosemitepark.com.
LAKE TAHOE Lake Tahoe is a popular summer refuge to summer heat and an enormous draw to boaters, fishermen, water skiers and adventurers. The pleasant daytime temperatures and very relaxing and casual environment draws the summer crowd. With the infinite things to do during the summer, from basking on the beautiful beaches to hiking or camping within the Tahoe Basin, there is certainly something for everyone. Be sure to ride to the top of the mountain on the Gondola at Heavenly, go rafting on the Truckee, take in a boat cruise and check out the Tahoe Summer Music or Shakespeare Festivals. Visit www.tahoesbest.com for a local connection with deals and packages. ¢

T
here are certain events that mark a childhood - experiences that kids remember for a lifetime. A trip to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is certainly one of those, and even San Diegans who’ve seen the circus before have yet to see a show like this. Firebreathing, flying, fantastical DRAGONS have joined the Greatest Show on Earth®! The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is bringing San Diegans a legendary once-in-a-millennium event celebrating the year of the dragon. Some of the extraordinary performers include: • The Shaolin Warriors with their Kung Fu martial arts. • Alexander Lacey, making his U.S. debut presents the only mixed-cat act of its kind with tigers and lions together. • Cossack Riders who amaze with their equestrian acrobatics. • The Flying Caceres who perform on the only double-decker trapeze in the world. • Plus daredevil motorcyclists in the Globe

It’s a major production just getting the circus to each stop within the 90-city U.S. tour. Like circuses of yesteryear, this production travels across the country by train, averaging 350 miles between cities and preparing over 109,000 meals each year in the Pie Car, the traveling diner. The Ringling Bros. train is making a four day stop in San Diego at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly known as the Sports Arena) from Thursday, Aug. 23 – Sunday, Aug. 26.

How to boost your home security while you are vacationing by TARA PRITCHETT
H
ome security is certainly an important part of any trip plan whether you’re preparing for a quick getaway or an extended vacation. To make sure your home security is up to par and you can truly enjoy your trip, run through the following home security tips before you hit the road. • Locate and turn off the main water valve, which is usually found on the front, street-facing side of a home’s lower level. • Drain toilets and tanks by holding down the flush lever until the water is gone. • Turn off the water heater. • Turn off all nonessential electrical circuit breakers in your home’s electrical box. • Disconnect/ unplug all appliances large and small. • Turn off your A/C. • Put lights in main living areas on timers and set them to simulate occupancy. • Don’t broadcast your absence or your location of vacation with photos and/or status updates on social media like Facebook or Twitter. • Leave blinds and curtains in normal positions wherever possible, taking care not to expose belongings.

• Protect valuables from theft (important papers, jewelry, etc.) by securing them in a home safe or safe deposit box. • Make sure your computer is turned off and disconnected from the Internet, particularly if it contains personal information. • Put away or shred telltale bills and receipts that add to the risk of identity theft. • Activate your alarm system and notify the home security company of your days away
providing them with interim contact information. • Ensure all windows and doors are securely locked before you leave for vacation. • Finish all yard work before you go while giving special attention to trimming trees and shrubs near windows and entries. • Improve exterior lighting by putting outdoor lighting on timers. Add motion-sensitive lamps in dark pockets, as well as in natural pathways. • Remove secret keys from their undisclosed outdoor locations, providing only one of your duplicates to the person who’ll be in charge while you’re out of town. • Organize your neighbors. A neighborhood watch won’t cost you anything but some time. For tips, visit www.ncpc.org. • Have a house helper collect your mail, parcels and newspapers daily. • Invite a neighbor or family member to park a car in your driveway. • Inform the local police department of your plans so they can add your home to their vacation watch list. ¢

ccording to Wayne Hamrick, it is the mission of Simple Solutions College Funding to advise parents of college-bound high school students on all phases of college financial planning. “We teach parents how to pay for college on a cost efficient basis by showing them how to make college affordable in a failing economy without relying on Wall Street or expensive private student loans. We also show parents how to set up their personal finances to best position their family,” says Hamrick. The inspiration for Simple Solutions College Funding came to Hamrick in 1974 after the birth of the first of his five children. With a career in finance and estate planning, Hamrick already had experience in helping people plan for their financial future. It was when his first child was born that he started thinking about how to pay for future expenses – including college – while at the same time saving money for retirement. According to Hamrick, a great majority of people are unable to retire in comfort because they have spent most of their assets getting their children through college with a heavy debt burden. “A properly designed college funding plan can save families tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars,” says Hamrick. In addition to guiding parents through the financial aspect of sending children to college, Simple Solutions College Funding also offers services relating to the admissions process. According to Hamrick, these services include college application reviews, SAT and ACT prep courses and admission essay critiquing. Simple Solutions College Funding has also put together a team of student counselors that are positioned all over the country. “These counselors can provide students with an ‘insider’s’ perspective of any particular school. They can answer questions about the campus atmosphere, tips for visiting the school or even about major corporations in the area that provide internships,” says Hamrick. Simple Solutions College Funding also provides free workshops in local high schools and community centers for parents of college-bound high school students. According to Hamrick, these workshops, which will begin in March, offer invaluable money-saving strategies. “We really do care about the plight of parents and students facing the daunting task of getting into the right schools, graduating in four years – rather than five or six – and being able to finance the whole process without hardship and without mortgaging the future of the parents and the students,” says Hamrick. ¢ For more information please call Simple Solutions College Funding at 858-753-1902 or visit their website at www.SimpleSolutionsCollegeFunding.com.

n such a male dominated sport, the only women who probably come to mind when talking football are the cheerleaders on the sidelines. But the female athletes of the San Diego Surge are proving very quickly that women’s football isn’t your typical powder-puff game. The Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) was founded by Dr. Lisa Kng and Dr. Jeff King in the spring of 2009 in order to establish North America’s highest level of women’s football. Joining a roster of 62 teams in 2011 were our hometown competitors – the San Diego Surge – and they have been making quite a name for themselves ever since. Fighting their way to be 8-0 in their first season, Owners Christina Carrillo and Melissa Gallegos are no strangers to athletic success. Christina has played women’s football since 2001 and Melissa
was a member of the 2010 USA Women’s National Team that won the gold medal in Sweden. Currently, the two have established a mission for those who represent SD Surge to strive to become better players, coaches and citizens of the communities on and off the field. The women also take pride in the bond they share between themselves and their teammates. In WFA there are no trades made between teams, so creating a solid foundation and working from the ground up is a crucial part of their league. The 2012 season championships will be held on August 4 and if the Surge are to make it, they will be competing at Heinz Field – turf of the Pittsburgh Steelers. ¢ For more information on the San Diego Surge, visit sandiegosurge.com

The Truth about
I
Managing
Pet Allergies
f someone in your home has pet allergies, you may wash the pet twice a week, steam clean your carpet or treat your pet with sprays or drops to reduce shedding – but is there any proof that taking these actions help? Kusum Sharma, MD, Director of Allergy & Asthma Clinics at AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine offers the following research and evidence-based environmental changes that can reduce the pet allergen levels in your home and may help stop allergy symptoms: 1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Replace carpeting with hard surfaces. Did you know carpeted floors accumulate 100 times more cat allergens than hard floors? Switch to polished surfaces like hardwood floors, stone or tile. Reduce fabric upholstered furniture. Research shows that upholstered furniture and curtains contain significant amounts of cat dander and even more than what is found on the floor. Wash bedding and curtains. To remove dog/cat dander from bedding and curtains, use one of these three techniques: wash in water at least 140°F with one rinse; wash at any temperature with two rinses; or wash in a steam washing machine. Use tightly woven bed coverings. Protective coverings for mattresses, box springs and pillows are often recommended, and studies show that tightly woven fabric with openings less than 4 microns wide can reduce allergens. Make multiple changes for best results. Studies show that making multiple indoor environment changes is required to significantly reduce pet allergens.
Pet owners with allergies or asthma symptoms should see an allergist who will evaluate if they are truly allergic to pets and discuss treatment options, including reducing allergen exposure, medications most effective for their particular symptoms and allergy shots (immunotherapy). The truth is, you can live with your pets without suffering allergy symptoms. ¢
There’s little evidence these control tips work when it comes to pet allergies: • Bathing pets with water and special shampoo • Steam cleaning carpet and upholstery • Giving pet oral agents or topical sprays to reduce shedding • Using a HEPA vacuum To learn more about allergies and asthma, take a free relief self-test at www.AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org.

The practice is focused on making patients feel comfortable about dental treatments and procedures as well as ensuring the patient’s involvement in each step of the process. “For over 19 years in private practice – we have been carefully listening to our patients, considering their needs and their budget – and then partnering with them in restoring and maintaining their dental health” said Dr. Luban. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Short Sales, Foreclosures and Loan Mods Taxable? by SCOTT VOAK
L
ast issue I touched on the idea of a strategic default. This month I want to make you aware of some potential changes to the tax implications for a short sale, foreclosure and loan modification. When a lender loses money on a loan because they foreclosed, accepted a short sale, or modified the principal, they file for a loss on their taxes – and send you a 1099 for the offsetting gain. The gain is called Debt Relief Income and it is taxable. However, as long as certain conditions are met (mainly that the home is your primary residence and the loan does not exceed the purchase price + improvements), both the state and federal governments have waived these taxes. That waiver is set to end on December 31, 2012. It other words, if you owe $600,000 on your home and the bank only achieves $500,000 through either a foreclosure or short sale that closes next year, not only do you lose your home, but you will have to show an extra $100,000 in income and pay taxes on it. While it may seem better to short sell or foreclose on your home now than pay the taxes next year, there may be other options. No two situations are the same and you should get professional advice to put together a plan that specifically addresses your needs. I have assembled a team with a bankruptcy attorney, credit repair attorney and a CPA to help people determine the best course of action. Consultations are free, so if you would like to meet to discuss options, please give me a call. ¢
