FROM THE PUBLISHER
VOL. 7, NO. 3 TM
Frequently Asked Questions
P U B L IS HE R
Derrick Breaux D IRE C TO R O F B U SIN ES S DE V E LO PME NT
I
t has been eight years since we published our first magazine. We have grown from one local publication to a collection of 14 magazines that covers the majority of North San Diego County. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I get asked some repeat questions. So, I thought it would be fun to do an informal F. A. Q.
So, how does it work? Who pays for the magazines to be delivered? This is by far the most common question I get when talking to businesses, friends, readers, government representatives, etc. There is only one answer. Our incredible advertising partners – the businesses and organizations you find throughout these pages – are the exclusive sponsors that should be thanked. We are 100 percent supported by these revenues, and without the participation of these loyal businesses, there would be no magazine. So please take the time to let these businesses know you appreciate their participation and that you saw them in 92131 Magazine.
Are these magazines part of a franchise? No, 92131 Magazine has no affiliation with a national company or franchise. It is a home-grown publication that started with an idea, a lot of napkin scratching, and a desire to publish a local magazine our neighbors would want to read. Although we strive to make every magazine look bigger than life, we are a small, family-owned company that started out of our living room – and we are very proud of that history.
Derrick Breaux Publisher
Who writes the stories, and who designs the magazines?
This is my favorite question to answer, and I think this sets us apart from many other publishing companies. We have a team of about 20 incredibly talented people consisting of editorial, writers, photographers, graphic designers, account executives, and a production coordinator. All are local, and all work feverishly to produce the best magazines possible.
Why do you publish magazines? This answer is very personal. Although I don’t get asked this nearly as often, it is the most important question. We publish 92131 Magazine because we want to bring joy to our communities. I believe this magazine is larger than the paper it is printed on. It creates lasting memories, and memorializes community events and happenings. The pages of 92131 Magazine can be found framed on the walls of people’s homes. People are excited to mail them to grandparents and relatives that live outside of the area. Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, or even 40 years from now, perhaps someone will open up a loved one’s cherished box of memories. And maybe – just maybe – there will be an old copy of 92131 Magazine that their relative proudly tucked away. And this will once again put a smile on someone’s face. That’s why I print magazines. Thank you for reading 92131 Magazine and being a part of something that touches the hearts of our communities.

Taste of Our Towne
ANNUAL EVENT CELEBRATES LOCAL FOOD, DRINKS, ARTS, AND EDUCATION
T
he 6th Annual Taste of Our Towne brought the community together for a festive summer evening of local food, beverages, and entertainment. Over 275 locals attended the event at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, which benefited Poway OnStage.
The event kicked off with a proclamation by Poway Mayor Steve Vaus, declaring Saturday, June 17, 2017 to be Poway OnStage Day. Poway OnStage President and CEO Michael Rennie expressed his appreciation for the honor. “We have strived over our 27-year history to bring to Poway the best in performing arts as well as providing much-needed arts education programs to our youth,” he said. “We are deeply thankful to the City for its continued support on so many levels.”
“We are deeply thankful to the City for its continued support on so many levels.” Taste of Our Towne continued with a performance by actors from the recent children’s production of Treasure Island, as well as live musical entertainment by the Kicks.

Healthy Back-to-School Lunches Kids Will Love Six Tips for Packing Nutritious Meals by ERIK HOGEN, M.D.; Scripps Clinic, Rancho Bernardo A nutritious midday meal gives children the staying power to sustain them through the day. Start their school year off right with healthy lunches that they will enjoy. PACKED LUNCHES MADE EASY Creating fresh, nutritious, and cost-effective lunches doesn’t have to be complicated. A little bit of preparation can go a long way. Set your child up for success with these six tips: 1. Make healthy eating a habit at home. When children are used to eating foods from the five food groups, they are more willing to eat those same foods for lunch anywhere, including school. The five groups, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), are: grains, which includes any food made from wheat, rice, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain; vegetables, including dark green, starchy, red and orange, and beans and peas; fruits; protein foods, which includes meats, poultry, seafood, beans, eggs, and nuts; and dairy, including all fluid milk products and foods made from milk that retain their calcium content. Choose foods with a high nutrient content (protein, minerals, and vitamins) compared with the percentage of calories, fat, and sodium. Small amounts of oils, fats that are liquid at room temperature, are also recommended by the USDA. Although they are not a food group, they provide essential nutrients. In addition to the food groups, other components to consider for healthy eating are added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. While there is room for some added sugars or saturated fats occasionally, limit the amount your kids eat. Sweet treats such as cakes, cookies, candy, and sugary drinks have a lot of calories, but few nutrients. If you include them in their lunch, serve bite-size portions.
2. Involve children in meal preparation, including their lunches. This not only empowers children and promotes a feeling of responsibility, but also makes your child more likely to eat the lunch. Keep the pantry stocked with healthy staples and post a list of ideas on the refrigerator from which kids can choose. You can designate part of your kitchen as the lunch-packing station where the entire family can get the meal ready for the next day. 3. Give kids a choice. When preparing lunch, ask your child which healthy option they would prefer — such as a banana or strawberries. By giving them a choice, they learn how to compromise and hone their decision-making skills. 4. Mix and match. Using the five food groups as a guide, toss in whole grain crackers with peanut butter, cut-up veggies with hummus, Greek yogurt with berries, or a slice of cheese on top of whole grain bread, pita bread or tortillas. The goal is to have variety and color, and to include three to five of the food groups at each meal. 5. Make good nutrition fun. Get creative and have fun with healthy foods. Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of sandwiches, cheese, or deli meats. Using a bento box can help you create an appealing, colorful lunch and keep the food items separated, which is often important to kids. Consider having a theme lunch, such as a pirate meal. 6. Nix juice and soda. As much as kids love drinking soda and juice, water is the best drink for them. Fat-free or one-percent milk is also a good option because it’s packed with calcium and vitamin D. Let your child pick out their favorite water bottle and throw in a few pieces of frozen fruit if they complain water is too boring. Using these tips, you and your family are off to a healthy and fun start to the school year. Using these tips, you and your family are off to healthy and fun start to the school year.

futsal Fever Haley Miller Shines Both On and Off the Futsal Court by JENNIFER FRAKES
F
Name: School: Grade: Parents: Siblings: Favorite Place in 92131:
or Haley Miller, soccer, in one form or another, has been a part of her life since she was a little girl. According to her mother, Michelle, Haley started playing soccer in Scripps Ranch when she was five years old. “Haley really enjoyed playing soccer for Scripps Ranch. She met her core group of friends playing for Scripps, and her dad, Triston, also coached several of her teams. It was awesome seeing them bond over soccer,” said Michelle. When Haley was 10 years old, she started playing futsal, a variant of soccer that is played on a smaller field, or court, and is most often played indoors. Haley now plays on the San Diego Surf Elite Club National League and travels across the nation playing futsal. She trains with Coach Mario Mrakovic, who Michelle credits with helping Haley hone her skills and continue to grow and develop as a futsal player. One of Haley’s proudest moments so far in her futsal career was making the 2016 USA national futsal team. Last December, she and the rest of the team competed in Canada against a Canadian team with girls who were on average one to two years older. “The highlight of my trip was scoring the first international goal for my team. I also learned a lot by playing against older girls. The whole experience was an eye-opener for me on what I need to strive for to take my playing to the next level,” said Haley. She is hopeful that her hard work will continue to pay off and she will once again make the national team this year. When Haley is not on the futsal court, she enjoys snowboarding and mountain biking. Each summer, she can be found at Canyon Springs Church volunteering at vacation bible school. She also loves hanging out with her friends from Marshall Middle School. Looking to the future, Haley aspires to become a member of the USA national women’s futsal team and go to the Olympics. She would also like to attend BYU Hawaii. As she works toward her goals, Haley is quick to point out that to achieve her dreams, she must continue to give futsal her all. “You can’t just try out for a team and expect to make it. You have to work hard to make it happen,” stated this determined and talented futsal phenom.

New Program Supports Students in Need Sustainable Surplus Exchange (SSE) recently announced a new program called Success 4 Students. Each month SSE will collaborate with local high schools, community colleges, and universities to identify a student in need and provide them with items such as school supplies. The program recently helped a single mom in community college who was struggling to make ends meet and who didn’t have the supplies she needed to succeed in school. SSE provided her with a computer and a desk for her apartment. The program will accommodate up to four students per month to start. SSE is a North County-based nonprofit organization that works to engage the community in environmental and economic sustainability by preventing waste from entering landfills through repurposing items for reuse.

PowPAC Presents Perfect Wedding PowPAC, Poway’s Community Theatre has planned a “Season of Laughter” for the 2017-2018 season, with a lineup of comedies and comedic dramas. The season kicked off last month with Perfect Wedding, which runs through Sunday, Aug. 20. Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Perfect Wedding, written by British playwright Robin Hawdon, combines riotous comedy with a touching love story. The play begins with a bridegroom waking up next to a complete stranger on the morning of his wedding. Between hangovers and panic, shenanigans ensue. The best man agrees to pretend the stranger is his girlfriend – a scheme complicated when his real girlfriend arrives. The season will continue with Quartet, opening Sept. 15. Find tickets and more information at www.powpac.org.
Drop Off Unused Prescriptions North County residents looking for a safe, convenient way to dispose of unused prescription medications have a number of local drop boxes to choose from. Most police departments and sheriff’s stations throughout the county offer collection boxes in their lobbies, which are open weekdays during business hours for anyone to drop off their unused medications. Disposing of unused prescription drugs is important to avoid non-prescribed use – whether through accidental consumption or drug abuse. The North Inland Community Prevention Program recommends that individuals use prescription medications only as prescribed, don’t share prescribed medication with others, store them securely, and properly dispose of them when they expire or are no longer needed. Find a nearby drop-off location at www.sandiegorxabusetaskforce.org/blank.

Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams, and CCHS competes in the Western League as part of the San Diego City Conference.
“The various extracurricular programs at Cathedral have made this school a perfect fit for me.” “The various extracurricular programs at Cathedral have made this school a perfect fit for me. There is a chance for everyone to find their niche, whether through the academic teams such as Mock Trail and Debate like me, or through athletics, drama, robotics, or art,” said Jake, a student in the Class of 2019. Nick, from the Class of 2018, agreed: “Only at Cathedral Catholic can I share my faith by being a part of our LIGHT (Living in God’s House Together) group program where we serve the San Diego community by feeding the poor, helping in underprivileged schools, and working with the elderly.”

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE LEAGUE? Scripps Ranch NJB just recently celebrated its 20th anniversary as a league. The founders of the league, Thom Diachenko, Kevin Haupt, Randy Ortiz, Irv Vaughn, and Robert McLoughlin, set out to form a recreational basketball organization that would serve the youth in the area, allowing them to learn the game, play in a supportive environment, and build friendships during the elementary and middle
school years. The chapter is under the National Junior Basketball umbrella, which is a nonprofit organization with over 25,000 participants in six states and has been in existence since 1984. WHAT COMMUNITIES DOES THE LEAGUE SERVE? The league is open primarily to the Scripps Ranch community and also includes youth from the surrounding Mira Mesa and Poway communities.
WHAT IS THE MISSION OF SCRIPPS RANCH NJB AND HOW DOES THE ORGANIZATION GO ABOUT FULFILLING IT? Scripps Ranch NJB’s mission is: to inspire our youth; regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. To practice the ideals of health, citizenship, and character. To implant the game elements of safety, sanity, and intelligent supervision; and to keep the welfare of the player first, foremost, and entirely free of adult
quest for glory. To emphasize teamwork for all participants. The NJB board meets regularly throughout the year to ensure the NJB mission is prevalent in all league activities. Board members are present at every game to observe player, parent, coach, and referee behavior. Suggestions for the improvement of the league are always welcome and discussed with all board members.

C O V E R F E AT U R E are on Sundays. Scripps Ranch High School is the main playing site with some teams traveling on occasion for interchapter play with the Encinitas and Fallbrook chapters. WHAT OVERALL EXPERIENCE CAN BASKETBALL PLAYERS EXPECT WHILE PLAYING FOR SCRIPPS RANCH NJB? The chapter focuses on sportsmanship and player development through the Divisional Play Program where players are placed in separate boy’s and girl’s divisions by grade level. Players attend an assessment prior to the beginning of the season to determine skill level and assist with placement on teams. Practices are held a minimum of once per week where the players work on skills and game strategy with their volunteer coaches. Games are made up of five eight-minute periods where each player is required to play in one full period each
SCRIPPS RANCH NJB’S MISSION IS: TO INSPIRE OUR YOUTH; REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN. TO PRACTICE THE IDEALS OF HEALTH, CITIZENSHIP, AND CHARACTER. WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THE SEASON? Regular season games begin the weekend before Thanksgiving and continue through the end of February. Post-season all-stars play continues through the end of March. WHAT ARE THE REGISTRATION DATES FOR YOUR UPCOMING SEASON? Online registration for the 2017-18 season will open Sept. 1. Registrations are accepted only online. WHERE AND WHEN DO GAMES TAKE PLACE DURING THE SEASON? Games are typically played every weekend. Division 1 (7th/8th grade) games are on Saturdays and Divisions 2 (5th/6th grade) and 3 (3rd/4th grade)
half and then during the fifth period, the coach can substitute players freely. HOW MANY TEAMS DOES THE LEAGUE HAVE? WHAT IS THE AGE-RANGE BREAKDOWN? During the 2016-17 season, the league had 48 teams with 475 boys and girls from third grade through eighth grade. CAN YOU SHARE ANY STAND-OUT MOMENTS FROM LAST SEASON? We appreciated the support the league received from NJB

We welcomed Chris Dudley, a 16-year NBA veteran, as the keynote speaker at our closing ceremony, and we are very proud of all of our all-star teams, especially the sixth grade boys’ team who won the NJB National All-Net Championship! WHO IS ON THE SCRIPPS RANCH NJB BOARD? Board members of Scripps Ranch NJB are typically parents of current or past league players who desire to carry out the mission of the league. They volunteer many hours throughout the year to assist in the areas of administration, coaching, facilities, marketing, scheduling, and special events.
league. Contact info@scrippsranchnjb.org for more information. TELL US ABOUT THE COACHING STAFF AND THE TYPE OF EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS THAT THEY BRING TO THE LEAGUE. Our coaches are volunteers who have had experience coaching or playing basketball at various levels. They all undergo background checks and are required to attend our coaches training clinic prior to the start of the season. WHERE DO THE LEAGUE’S REFEREES AND SCOREKEEPERS COME FROM? Trained referees are part of the NJB network and scorekeepers are high school students with NJB experience.
WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF THIS POSITION? THE MOST CHALLENGING?
DOES SCRIPPS RANCH NJB NEED VOLUNTEERS? IF SO, HOW DOES ONE GET INVOLVED?
The most rewarding part of serving on the SRNJB Board is the opportunity to see a player develop throughout the season and have such a great experience that they want to return for the next. The most challenging part is ensuring that coaches, parents and players understand that the league’s focus is developing players and fostering a recreational and encouraging environment. There are several programs outside of the league that are available for players who want to continue playing in a more competitive setting. For example, we are affiliated with the Falcons “feeder” teams for boys and girls that focus on preparing players to play in high school after they have “graduated” from our
Anyone interested in volunteering with the league should email the NJB board at info@scrippsranchnjb.org. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE READERS OF 92131 MAGAZINE? We encourage you to visit our website www.scrippsranchnjb.org to find out more information about our league. There are a limited number of players we can accept each season due to facility limitations so it is best to register as soon as the registration system opens. Hundreds of players have participated in our league over the years, and we constantly receive positive feedback from alumni who look back fondly at their time in NJB.

KICKFORCE INSPIRES YOU TO BE GREAT IN LIFE by KELLEY GUSICH | photos by Carlos Avalos

arlos Aguilar, master instructor and owner of KickForce Martial Arts, started martial arts at nine because he wanted to be a Power Ranger or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He kept training through childhood and teen years because through martial arts, “kids started to respect me and I wasn’t bullied as much.” From world-class combat trainers to Hollywood martial arts professionals, he’s now had the opportunity to train with the best in the industry. He and co-owner Tara Hallex, with a combined 40 years’ experience, opened KickForce in 2011 to answer their enduring question: how can we provide the ultimate martial arts experience? KickForce began on Convoy St. with three members, but now, Carlos shares, “We are proud and fortunate to say that we have over 300 amazing families training at KickForce from all around San Diego, including Chula Vista and Escondido.” KickForce offers programs for the entire family and at all levels of experience. The kids program starts as young as three, and is
committed to providing a safe, caring, and educational environment. The teens program instills the habit of routine fitness, physical development, and goal-setting, with all belts fully certified and able to be added to college applications and resumes. The adult program focuses on learning practical long/ short range self-defense, fitness, and stress relief. With a concentration on life skills and customer service, Carlos and Tara want people to know they are working to provide their customers/families with an original, oneof-a-kind experience. “Whether it’s through our daily engagement in social media or color schemes at our school, we want to be different,” Carlos said. A standout student success story comes through team member Mr. JC Torres. Four years ago, he began learning martial arts, financing his classes by working at the studio–cleaning windows and day-to-day chores. Mr. Torres has emerged as a fantastic martial artist, great leader, and role model. He is now a member of the KickForce team, a second degree black belt and

A
ssemblymember Brian Maienschein recently recognized Greenway Irrigation Lawn and Landscape as Assembly District 77’s Small Business of the Year. “Greenway Irrigation Lawn and Landscape is an example of what every business should be,” said Assemblymember Maienschein. “This small business is known throughout the community for its commitment to superior customer service and commendable business ethics.” The landscape company is owned by Rancho Bernardo resident Scott Lawn, who is also an active community volunteer, serving as president of the Rancho Bernardo Business Association and as a volunteer with the North San Diego Business Chamber and the Poway Chamber of Commerce. “The one thing that most struck me when we received this award
was the select group that we were included with,” said Scott. “Only 75 small businesses in the entire State of California out of 3.5 million were chosen.” His son and business partner Alex Lawn added, “We are so proud that the company that we have worked so hard to build was recognized as a quality leader in the irrigation, lawn, and landscape industry.” Each year the California Small Business Association asks legislators to nominate a Small Business of the Year from their district that has demonstrated exemplary business ethics and community service. Honorees travel to the state capitol and are presented with a special award recognizing their contributions. Assembly District 77 includes the communities of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, 4S Ranch, and others.

n 1978, B.J. Scott, a Scripps Ranch resident, put an ad in the paper looking for people interested in starting a local theater. The group envisioned a place for entertainment and a creative outlet, and Scripps Ranch Theatre was born. Today, almost 40 years later, Scripps Ranch Theatre (SRT) is thriving as the only professional theater along the I-15 corridor between Mission Valley and Escondido. Every season, SRT puts on five live-theater productions, including new and classic plays, musicals, comedies, and dramatic works. The performances are held in the Legler Benbough Theatre at Alliant International University. “The performance space is a 118-seat capacity

theater that is very intimate; every audience member is in close proximity to the stage and actors, which gives the illusion of being part of the production,” explained Caitlyn McTaggart, SRT Development Director. In 2006, SRT transitioned from a community theater to a professional theater. Since that time, SRT has increased the season to five productions and added the new play festival, Out on a Limb, which features new one-act plays written by local aspiring playwrights. In the past two years, SRT has launched New Works Studio, a “nine-month innovative program that provides a constructive, supportive environment in which emerging and established playwrights are able to develop new work,” Caitlyn said. SRT has also increased community outreach over the last two years, tripling the number of schools the organization reaches. “Through these partnerships, we present one-act plays to hundreds of students throughout San Diego County. Many of the students we reach have never experienced live theater, so it is a very special opportunity for them that they otherwise would not have access to,” Caitlyn

Most recently, SRT has coordinated with the YMCA to offer a one-week summer camp every July and plans to launch a six-week children’s theater program this fall. The transformational work of SRT, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is made possible through private donations and volunteers. “Being part of an all-volunteerrun organization that has never been in debt, where so many people are committed to its success, is both rewarding and inspiring,” Caitlyn said. “SRT is on the brink of tremendous growth and always looking for more contributors and passionate volunteers to join us in providing high-quality theater to the San Diego community!” Looking ahead, SRT’s primary goal is to secure a new space that will accommodate a larger-capacity theater that offers the same intimate setting as the current theater but with additional amenities critical to any performance venue, such as space for dressing rooms, set-building, and a box office. Any suggestions for potential spaces should be sent to SRT directly. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Urban Campout
CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF GIRL SCOUTS SAN DIEGO
G
irl Scouts throughout San Diego County have been celebrating 100 years of Girl Scouts San Diego this year, and Scripps Ranch residents are taking the lead. Katie Sullivan and her three daughters – Megan Delgado, Lindsay Estrada, and Sarah Houghton – are co-chairing Urban Campout: Celebrate 100 Years. It’s the 20th anniversary of this favorite annual event, which also includes Scripps Ranch resident Ann Holler on the planning committee. Katie, Megan, Lindsay, and Sarah are all Girl Scout alumnae. Katie has volunteered with Girl Scouts for over 30 years, and has earned a Thanks Badge, the organization’s highest award for adults. She has chaired Girl Scouts San Diego’s Board of Directors and the Girl Scouts Empowered for Life campaign, as well as serving on the
finance committee and as a national delegate to national conventions. Ann also has a family connection to Scouting – she’s part of a four-generation Girl Scout family, and joined the organization as a girl in New Jersey. She and Katie co-led a Scripps Ranch troop for four years. This year’s Urban Campout will be held Friday, Sept. 15 at Girl Scout headquarters in Balboa Park. Guests will explore Girl Scout history while earning “badges” for games and archery activities. Dress in vintage, glittery, or TGIF casual and enjoy gourmet fare and s’mores. Auction items include a seven-day cruise and a trip to the Kentucky Derby, and proceeds will fund programs focused on leadership, STEM, life skills, outdoor training, and entrepreneurship.

Real Estate in Depth – A Podcast! by SCOTT VOAK
Y
ears ago, after appearing on a financial news radio show, I launched a radio show of my own. It was called Real Estate Matters and lasted for about two years, first as 30 minutes daily and then as an hour weekly. The focus quickly turned to investments, and I ended up working with several listeners and getting them into small multi-family investments here in San Diego. I quickly learned that since real estate is a slow-moving beast, it is very difficult to keep interesting once you have run through the basic topics. While other real estate radio show hosts tried to go the direction of real estate/political talk show, I didn’t think San Diego needed another political talk show host and I went back to my main skills – marketing houses and helping investors. However, there are topics that come up repeatedly that I don’t think get addressed well. So, early this year I launched a podcast to address some topics that I find important or interesting that have to do with real estate (I promise, no political analysis unless it has to do with real estate values!). The name Real Estate Matters was taken by an agent in the Midwest who had done three shows, so we chose Real Estate Mondays. To date, we have published several episodes with more that are recorded and ready to go. Topics have included:
