FROM THE PUBLISHER VOL. 8, NO. 2 TM

Football Is Beyond Play

I

started playing football in the seventh grade and played throughout high school. I was lucky enough to be part of an incredible team that won CIF two years in a row and nearly pulled off a three-peat. I was primarily a blocking running back, but I saw a lot of action on the field, including my fair share of touches, yardage, and end zones.

Although it’s probably not something that I should brag about, there was a time during those years that I thought the true purpose of going to high school was to play football.

Needless to say, I’ve spent the last 26 years working on getting my priorities straight.

Back in 2004 when Jessica and I found out that we were having a boy, I admit that I spent some time daydreaming about how our son was going to play football. Well, fast forward 12 or 13 years, and Peyton had never even expressed an ounce of interest in football. In fact, he had been fully engaged in sports like soccer and baseball since he was four.

So, it came as a surprise this past spring when Peyton let us know that he wanted to try out for the Del Norte High School freshman football team. Although very athletic and known for his speed, this was a kid that had rarely watched football on TV, much less played it. I didn’t even think he liked football. Nevertheless, I was all for it, but he had to work on convincing his mom. She eventually came around to the idea.

Besides the obvious, there’s something about football that is different from all other sports – especially when it comes to the team camaraderie. Throughout the summer practices and two-a-days, it was interesting to watch Peyton transition.

Not only did he seem more mature and responsible, but he would tell me how much he loved the structure of how football practices are conducted. Instead of us – his parents – having to remind him to be ready for practice, all of a sudden he was the one urging us to take him to the school early. Other than the nearly unbearable “football” smell on the rides home from practice, his new sense of responsibility was incredible!

The boys on Del Norte’s freshman football team have all worked very hard to get up to speed. For many of them, this is also their first season playing football. And although they have won a couple of games and lost a couple of games, they have demonstrated discipline and played their hearts out as a team each game until the final whistle.

I’m not sure what’s in store for the next few years with my son playing football, but I’m certainly grateful that I’ve been able to sit in the stands and watch him grow as a person and put his heart and soul into a sport that meant so much to me growing up. Unless you’ve played it, there’s just something about football that is hard to explain. The buildup, the anticipation, the planning and execution of plays, the teamwork, the accomplishment, and even the physicality – it all has a way of getting inside of you and never leaving.

Peyton, if you are reading this, thank you for being the student athlete that you are.

Thank you for striving to be the best that you can be. And thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch, share, and participate in your high school journey. Every step of the way has a purpose. Be sure to take the time to reflect, appreciate, and process it.

DONALD BERKEBILE AND KARYN FARR SEEK LOCAL AND GLOBAL ADVENTURES

by BECCA BARR photo by Alan Smith Photography

“We are inquisitive and love both luxury and exotic travel.”

D

onald Berkebile and Karyn Farr love living in Scripps Ranch; they’ve lived in Waterford since 2002. However, don’t expect to find the pair at home! They are travel aficionados, and are always on the go. “We have taken over 75 trips at sea and many also by land,” Karyn shared. “We have been at sea almost 800 days!” This includes a world cruise for 92 days, and an “around the world in 80 days” trip that included sailing around Africa, plus a two-week stay in Cape Town.

Their love of traveling led to them having second careers as travel agents at Cadence Travel. Don is a retired Captain of the U.S. Navy; he was at North Island when he retired. Karyn worked for Caltrans for 38 years, mostly doing budgets and HR. They decided to become travel agents as a way to follow their passions. “We both had seen a lot of the world and continue to do so, passing our knowledge and experience on to our clients,” said Karyn. “We are inquisitive and love both luxury and exotic travel.” Their favorite trips are the safaris in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. “We love the open space, the kind camp staff, and the gorgeous scenery and animals – where we can get so close to watch them in their own habitat,” Karyn recalled.

Both have diverse educational and professional backgrounds.

Karyn has a master’s degree in human behavior. She was in the 1976 bicentennial issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal centerfold, where she was one of eight women representing America. In 2012, she was selected as one of the “Top 25 Agents for 2012” by Travel Agent magazine. Don

had 30 years of experience on destroyers in the Navy before retiring, and recently worked as a senior consultant at KPMG/Peat Marwick.

When at home in San Diego, they remain busy. Karyn does tai chi and bunco, and is a member of the Scripps Ranch Women’s Club.

Don is president of the Scripps Ranch Master Association HOA for 14 developments north of the lake. Together, Karyn and Don do yoga, garden, support Scripps Ranch Theatre, and volunteer with the San Diego USO. One thing is for sure – this busy couple finds adventure, whether at home or abroad!  Names: Children: Community: Hometowns: Occupations: Pet: Favorite Local Spots:

GIRL SCOUTS HONORED FOR EARNING GOLD AWARD

S

cripps Ranch’s Audrey Ball and Chelsea Campbell have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award – the organization’s highest honor – for demonstrating extraordinary leadership by identifying and tackling social issues.

Each of the girls took on different topics for their Gold Award projects.

Audrey created a kid-friendly wildfire preparedness and safety program and led an eight-week children’s series at a local summer camp. She also collaborated with law enforcement and fire departments to produce educational materials that were placed in San Diego County libraries and posted online. “I chose this project because I noticed a lack of awareness surrounding wildfire preparedness in my community, and I wanted to educate people on how destructive and dangerous wildfires can be,” Audrey said. “I especially wanted kids to be aware of how vital it is to have a family evacuation plan, and to be

prepared when a wildfire occurs.”

Chelsea’s project, called Be the Best You, focused on teaching girls ages 10 to 15 to be “presentable” from the inside out.

Chelsea planned and facilitated a retreat for participants after seeing girls at church or other events who could benefit from self-care guidance. She discovered that participants became more prepared for social situations and major life events like transitioning to college or moving into the workforce.

Each candidate spent one to two years developing and implementing their project, and were among 58 Gold Award winners honored during a recent ceremony at Copley Symphony Hall. “Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award is truly a remarkable achievement,” said Carol M. Dedrich, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts San Diego.

“Audrey and Chelsea exemplify leadership in all its forms.” For more information go to www.sdgirlscouts.org. 

INSURANCE PROFILE

MEDICARE

MADE

EASY THE MEDICARE ANSWER GUY CAN HELP YOU WITH ALL YOUR MEDICARE NEEDS

by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Jessica Breaux

J

im Robeson is the president and CEO of The Medicare Answer Guy, an independent insurance and benefits agency, specializing in helping seniors navigate Medicare. Jim started his career in the insurance industry in 1978. “Early in my career, I began by focusing on helping small business owners with their employee benefit programs,” recalled Jim, who later went on to earn his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designations and expanded his insurance practice to working with seniors who were beginning to transition into Medicare.

Through the years, Jim – a member of the NAHU and CAHU (national and state health associations) and a member of The American College of Underwriters – had enrolled many seniors in Medicare, but it wasn’t until he himself was eligible for Medicare that he fully understood the confusion, frustration and anxiety that can accompany the transition to Medicare. “The number of seniors turning 65 in San Diego will exponentially explode over the next 10 years leaving many without someone they can speak with about their options,” stated Jim. “We are here to help the over 40,000 San Diego seniors who are turning 65 each year with their transition to Medicare.”

The Medicare Answer Guy represents

major insurance carriers that offer Medicare health plans. Their focus is to help educate San Diego seniors about their Medicare options, such as, when and how to enroll in Medicare and what the various types of Medicare health and prescription drug plans there are for those both turning 65 and those still working past the age of 65. “We are in year seven of an 18-year ride of ‘baby boomers,’” explained Jim. “Our goal is to make Medicare clear, understandable, and affordable to seniors who are beginning to make that Medicare journey.”

Something that sets The Medicare Answer Guy apart from the competition is Jim’s genuine interest in helping to educate seniors with their Medicare insurance planning. As a result, Jim and his office manager, Craig Deane, serve over 500 individual health insurance clients, most of whom have been referred by existing satisfied clients. “Today’s health insurance marketplace is out of control and the future is uncertain in many ways,” explained Jim. “People are looking for an insurance agent they can trust, knowing that person will stay current with the Medicare rules and regulations and is creative in solving their personal ongoing health insurance challenges.”

With fewer than 1,000 agents in San Diego who specialize in Medicare, Jim and his team are proud to be one of them. 

LOCAL ARTIST

PICTURE PERFECT

Fine Art Photographer Ivan Farca Captures the Beauty of Local San Diego Landscapes

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo below by Alan Smith Photography | photos above by Ivan Farca

W

ith the beautiful San Diego landscape as inspiration, Ivan Farca creates photographic works of art. An artist since his early years in high school, Ivan first worked in the animation industry. However, it wasn’t long before he felt the lure of photography and began to think about taking a different artistic path. “After I got married, I became interested in photography and how cameras work. I also started realizing how I could use my artistic skills through the medium of photography, especially since I’ve always had a passion for landscapes and sceneries.

When we moved to San Diego, I bought my first full-frame digital camera and fell in love with chasing sunsets and capturing this great city,” revealed Ivan. It is no surprise that the ocean is his frequent muse, as he has fond memories of playing in the surf as a child. Today, La Jolla is one of his favorite places to photograph because of the vast ocean views, as well as the rock formations and cliffs that make unique and beautiful compositions.

Ivan was born in the United States, but lived in Mexico City for much of his childhood. It was there that he began developing his artistic skills while drawing comic book characters. He then went to college in the U.S., where he pursued a degree in computer animation. “After I graduated, I returned to Mexico City. I worked in the animation industry creating more than 200 TV spots,” said Ivan. Now that he is a fine arts photographer, he is rewarded by expressing his creativity through capturing the natural beauty of San Diego. He encourages aspiring photographers to go out and shoot what inspires them. “With patience and a bit of direction, you can do wonders with your photographs,” stated Ivan.

The Farca family has been living in Scripps Ranch for nearly three years, and they are happy to reside in a beautiful area with such friendly neighbors. In his spare time, Ivan enjoys spending time with his wife, watching their children’s Little League games, going to Lake Miramar, and playing in the park with his family.  Name: Profession: Community: Website: Hobbies & Interests: Favorite Local Spot:

DENTIST PROFILE

THE SUPER DENTISTS: HELPING SAN DIEGO’S CHILDREN SMILE

by BECCA BARR | photo provided by The Super Dentists

G

oing to the dentist can be a scary experience for children and, therefore, stressful for their parents. The Super Dentists, San Diego’s largest and most trusted pediatric dentistry and orthodontic office, hopes to make going to the dentist a positive experience for the whole family. For over 20 years, led

by Dr. Nazli Keri (also known as the Tooth Keri) and Dr. Kami Hoss (also known as Dr. HaveOneSuperSmile), this team of exceptional pediatric dentists and orthodontists has fought cavities and crooked teeth. “By providing outof-this-world, kid-centered dental care,” said Dr. Hoss, “the Super Dentists are saving the world one smile at a time.”

Their dedication to making dentistry enjoyable is evident in every aspect of their practice. “From the second you step into our theme park-designed offices, you’re someplace special with an accomplished, professional pediatric and orthodontic dental crew that cares about your kids,” shared Dr. Hoss. Their offices feature video games, TVs, movies, music, a toy store, dress-up area, selfie/photo-op area for the kids, and a newsstand and café serving Starbucks coffee for the parents.

The Super Dentists focus on convenience, which is perfect for parents with hectic schedules. They have extended hours on weekdays and are open on weekends.

They offer not only pediatric dentistry, but orthodontics, parent dentistry, and oral surgery

as well. They work with all insurances. “We never turn away any kid in need of dental care, regardless of their financial situation,” related Dr. Hoss. “We provide flexible and affordable financing.” And with several locations around San Diego County, including Carmel Valley, one is sure to be nearby.

All of The Super Dentists are up-to-date on the latest innovations and advances in the field. “We are always on the forefront of new dental technologies,” said Dr. Hoss. “If there is a new device available for a quicker, more comfortable, and enhanced dental result, we have it.” The Super Dentists even have their own dental assisting school. They offer spa-like amenities, including flavored gloves, aromatherapy, warm towels, massage chairs, and virtual reality masks to keep their patients relaxed and pampered.

Giving back to the community is another important principle to The Super Dentists, always with a focus on children. They host dental days, providing free dental treatment for kids up to 12 years old. Their annual Candy Buy-Back at Halloween lets kids save their teeth while sending their sweet treats to our troops. The Super Dentists also visit over 800 schools in San Diego to provide free school presentations about the importance of oral health. With a longtime and unending mission of serving San Diego’s children, The Super Dentists are truly a fixture in the local community. 

The Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS) Air Force Junior ROTC (AFJROTC) team, which consists of freshman Raymond Sun, sophomores Albert Gu and Alan Hang, and junior Jackwin Hui, won the Joint Leadership Academic Bowl (JLAB) in Washington, D.C. for the third year in a row. The Bowl is a nine-month competition in which teams complete three online timed academic tests several months apart. The SRHS team was one of the top 12 Air Force teams chosen out of 900 units to compete at the national level. Other military services also sent teams to represent their JROTC units, for a total of 64 teams.

The first day of the event consisted of intra-service competition to find the top team from each military branch. SRHS cadets beat out the competition and became the overall AFJROTC Academic Champions, advancing them to the national competition. After a close and exciting game of four rounds of competition, SRHS emerged victorious as the JLAB World Champions. Learn more about JLAB at www.cofcontests.com.

Cathedral Catholic High School Continues a Strong Legacy of Faith, Character, and Achievement

C

athedral Catholic High School’s (CCHS) core values of faith, knowledge, character, and responsibility have guided the development of high-achieving, well-rounded leaders for over 60 years. The CCHS legacy has deep roots, though the name is only 13 years old.

Cathedral Girls High School merged with University San Diego High School (UNI) in

1970 on UNI’s Linda Vista Campus. UNI transitioned to the current CCHS Campus in Carmel Valley in 2005 and took on the new name of Cathedral Catholic High School. “No matter what campus you were on, once you become a Don, you’re always a Don,” said CCHS President Mr. Stevan Laaperi. “The Dons’ legacy has never been stronger. Over 50 alumni are among the CCHS team of

24 • 92131MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff.”

The professional staff is well qualified to uphold that legacy. Most teachers have a master’s degree or higher in the subject they teach, and the entire staff strives to model the values of a Catholic faith community. The school is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Colleges, and holds membership with the College Board. “In partnership with parents, we form an educational ministry that is mutually supportive and a community committed to excellence,” said Principal Mr. Kevin Calkins. “It is our intent that our graduates carry a spirit of intellectual curiosity and a love of learning on their continuing journey of personal and spiritual growth.”

Over 1,600 students are currently beginning that journey on the dynamic CCHS campus.

Facilities include 75 classrooms, 12 science labs, two computer labs, a robotics lab, a ceramics studio, a music room, a lecture hall, several special-use classrooms, world-class athletic facilities, a library, a lecture hall, a chapel and meditation garden – there’s a place for every student to discover their passion. Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams.

“Whether you are an athlete, love to act, or have a passion for serving others, at Cathedral Catholic you gain the confidence to make a difference not only in your life but in the world around you,” said Kate, a graduate from the Class of 2017. Nicole, another recent graduate, agreed: “There is an unparalleled wealth of opportunities, and a strong support system in the students and faculty as part of the Catholic community.” 

A

s a wishful young volunteer, student Kenan Pala noticed a lack of opportunities for people his age to get involved. In 2017 he took matters into his own hands and founded Kids4Community,

a nonprofit organization that opens doors not just for adults, but for children of all ages to give back to their community in a meaningful way. Kids4Community partners with local charitable organizations to help meet their needs as well as creating kid-friendly volunteer opportunities, including beach cleanups, serving meals at homeless shelters, and creating care packages for students in need. Join our conversation with Kids4Community President Kenan Pala to find out more about how the organization is making a difference.

Qw&ithA

KIDS4COMMUNITY PRESIDENT

Can you give us a brief history of Kids4Community? When was it started and why?

Which charitable organizations do you work with?

I started Kids4Community in January of 2017 after I was on a team that broke the Guinness World Record for the largest cardboard mosaic in order to raise awareness for homelessness in our community. After seeing what was possible when a group of dedicated and passionate youth volunteers came together for a common goal, I was inspired to start Kids4Community.

Kids4Community works with numerous organizations to create kid-friendly volunteering events. Just this past summer we have partnered with San Diego Coastkeeper to create beach cleanups at our beaches in San Diego. We have partnered with an organization in Escondido called Interfaith Community Services to create monthly/bi-monthly dinner servings at their homeless shelter. We have also just recently partnered with a local school in Barrio Logan called Perkins Elementary to work on creating a Back2School care package event for the students that attend grades one through five.

“Someone once said that as we grow older we will discover that we have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

What is Kids4Community’s mission?

Our mission at Kids4Community is to help kids help the community. We try and create programs where kids of any age can volunteer. Adding onto the Guinness World Record, when I was younger I found it very hard to volunteer as so many organizations had mandatory orientations during school hours or age restrictions that I was unable to meet. At Kids4Community we create programs that enable anyone who has the passion to volunteer easily and meaningfully.

Please tell us about the kinds of programs you provide.

Kids4Community provides many different types of events that are all kid-friendly. We serve dinner at an organization called Interfaith Community Services on a monthly/bi-monthly basis. Also, we create events that are seasonal such as a holiday drive in the winter, a beach cleanup in the summer, and disaster relief events during hurricane season. Last year we did a disaster relief event for Hurricane Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the Central Mexico earthquake. We are currently working with Perkins Elementary to create a program where students from San Diego come to Perkins Elementary on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to talk to the students there, help

KENAN PALA them with homework, or play with them (as many of their parents work over 12-hour shifts or multiple jobs to support their kids).

Which areas does your organization serve?

Our organization serves in areas all around San Diego. We do all of our drives (disaster reliefs, holiday drives, back-to-school events, etc.) at an office space in Scripps Ranch called Confirm Biosciences. We serve dinner to the homeless in Escondido, and we organize beach cleanups on beaches all around San Diego (La Jolla Cove, Mission Bay, etc.), and we are working on setting up a program with Perkins Elementary in Barrio Logan.

What is your current role within the organization? Please elaborate on your specific responsibilities.

I am the founder and president of Kids4Community. I work on organizing the events, running the day-to-day managements, answering emails and inquires, organizing volunteers, fundraising, and marketing.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?

The most rewarding aspect of my role is being able to see the impact that our events have. At the end of every event, taking some time to think about what we’ve accomplished and how much more we can is what inspires me to volunteer, as volunteering is such a heart-filling and inspiring thing to do. Someone once said that as we grow older we will discover that we have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

Who else is involved with leadership at Kids4Community?

There are many others involved with Kids4Community and in leadership at Kids4Community. We have numerous youth volunteers aiding Kids4Community through drone shots of events, filmography, or reaching out to other possible organizations. We also just recruited an ambassador who works with connecting us with other organizations and such (he helped us

“Volunteering helps children stay grateful and active.” get in contact with Perkins Elementary School). My family has also been amazing through the process – helping me come up with ideas for events, helping me run events, and helping me run Kids4Community.

How do you believe children benefit from doing charity work?

We at Kids4Community believe that when children begin volunteering at a young age they are able to develop lifetime skills and personality traits that they can carry on with them later in their life so that when they reach adulthood they most likely will continue charity work and benefit society for the better. Also, volunteering helps children stay grateful and active. With electronics and video games dominating countless hours of most kids’ days, volunteering serves as a way for kids to go outside and help others as well as remain grateful for the lives they have.

30 • 92131MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

Are there any upcoming projects or events the community should know about?

We serve dinner at homeless shelters on a monthly basis and have many more projects for young volunteers. We post all our events on our website and our Facebook page.

What are Kids4Community’s short-term and long-term goals?

In the short-term, we would like to help volunteer many more kids with our organizations and continue to help people in San Diego. Also, in the short-term we hope to construct partnerships with many more organizations such as Perkins Elementary and Interfaith Community Services. However, in the long-term, we are looking to volunteer youth ambassadors outside San Diego to establish Kids4Community around the United States to expand our impact and volunteer more kids.

How can interested community members get involved with Kids4Community?

If anyone is interested in volunteering or getting involved with Kids4Community they can visit our website, www.kids4.org, and go to our upcoming events page and register for one of our upcoming events.

If you could grant your organization one wish, what would it be?

If I could grant our organization one wish, it would be to have more funding. With more funding, more doors would open to events and people we could help.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity, and thank you so much for featuring us in your magazine!  September | October 2018 • 92131MAGAZINE.COM • 31

SPECIALTY DOG TRAINING FOSTERS LIFELONG BONDS BETWEEN CANINES AND THEIR HUMAN COMPANIONS

S

pecialty Dog Training (SDT) has earned a reputation throughout the San Diego community and beyond for providing high-quality, customized, comprehensive dog training.

Founded by husband and wife team Graham and Kyrié Bloem, SDT uses positive reinforcement, structure, and clear communication to help local dogs and their families.

“No two dogs are the same, and we understand that each needs to be approached as an individual,” Graham explained. SDT offers obedience training from basic commands to advanced off-leash obedience, as well as Canine Good Citizen preparation and testing. Graham and his team work with all ages and breeds, offering private lessons and boot camp programs depending on each family’s needs. They also offer programs for behavioral issues and rehabilitation, therapy prep courses and service dog programs, and placement of pre-trained family and personal security dogs.

Graham draws on his nearly two decades of experience to run a program that pet owners can trust.

He’s a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, and International Association of Canine Professionals, and he’s an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer and Authorized Mentor Trainer. He has won a number of awards, including 32 • 92131MAGAZINE.COM • September | October 2018

the American Red Cross Real Heroes Award, 10News Leadership Award, Waggy Award for Animal Welfare, and a finalist for the Inspiration Awards.

Graham, Kyrié, and the entire SDT pack are proud of the difference they make for local families. They also give back through Shelter to Soldier, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Graham and Kyrié founded in conjunction with SDT. Shelter to Soldier adopts local shelter dogs and trains them as psychiatric service dogs for post 9/11 combat veterans in need. “We knew Shelter to Soldier wouldn’t succeed without leaning heavily on SDT, so we launched both simultaneously,” Graham said. “This allowed Shelter to Soldier to maintain low overhead and in turn help more homeless dogs and veterans in need of highly trained service dogs.”

SDT and Shelter to Soldier have created countless success stories over the years, but some have stood out – including Nubs, an abused dog who befriended a U.S. Marine in Iraq under extraordinary circumstances. When LtCol Brian P. Dennis brought his canine companion back to the United States, Graham volunteered to guide Nubs through the rough transition. “Graham spent countless hours every week with Nubs for the better part of three months,” said LtCol Dennis. “What he was able to do was nothing short of miraculous. He took an abused, confused, terrified dog and eased him into the busy world of Southern California.” 

STUDIO WEST INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRODUCERS AND AUDIO ENGINEERS S

tudio West has been a fixture in the San Diego music scene since the 70s, but the last few years have seen a significant increase in the popularity of the training programs in audio production they started over 10 years ago.

The studio offers a wide variety of classes that are appropriate for everyone from beginners looking to understand music production to industry professionals.

The Audio Engineering Package, intended for those new to the subject, has become particularly popular. It covers the fundamental principles of audio production, signal flow, microphone design, and mixing techniques and is taught in the classrooms and studios at Studio West. The studio recently added classes to accommodate demand.

Todd Hunsaker, Studio West’s Director of Admissions, has been impressed with what he’s seen since joining the staff earlier this year. “It’s remarkable to see the passion these students have for creating amazing sound,” he noted. “There is so much talent in the area and we are thrilled to see them joining us in record numbers this session. I can’t believe some of the projects that the students leave class with, and seeing them grow in confidence as they learn more about production is awesome.”

Every class at Studio West gives students hands-on experience with mics, consoles, effects processors, and a variety of digital audio workstations. The thrill of learning in a world-class studio where professionals have worked for decades is an experience that few forget! 

Character Building Through Community New Life House Offers Addiction Treatment Aimed at Long-Term Success

RECOVERY COMMUNITY

AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: New Life House COO: David Saruk Years with the Company: 8 Year of Establishment: 1985 Address: 17252 Hawthorne Blvd Suite 289 Torrance, CA 90504 Website: www.newlifehouse.com Email: info@newlifehouse.com Phone: 888-357-7577 Description of Business: New Life House is an age-specific, longterm structured aftercare facility designed to teach life skills and provide the community necessary for someone to overcome addiction and establish a new life.

L

ife-saving,” parents will attest to their experience with New Life House.

These are powerful words for a program that has been providing just that for the last 30 years. Founded in 1985, New Life House is the lifeline for young adults to overcome addiction and stay sober for the long-term.

The founder of New Life House was inspired to start the program after experiencing addiction treatment. He saw the need for a program to serve as the missing link between short and long-term recovery. In fact, every staff member has experienced the program first-hand, offering insight into what residents may be experiencing. “The program has an unprecedented ability to hone in on the life struggles specific to 18- to 35-year-olds, and allows them to have a community around them in the same age range that can help out with direct experience,” explained David Saruk, Chief Operating Officer.

Community is a cornerstone of the program. Family members are integrated throughout the recovery process, and residents build lifelong relationships. The active alumni program is proof of these bonds. “Our goal is to remain successful long after graduation, so we provide a resource for all our alumni to tap into anytime they need assistance,” David said.

The commitment to long-term sobriety sets New Life House apart from other treatment programs. “Trust people that have experience, and realize that recovery is a process that can’t be completed inside of a few months.” The average stay at New Life House is 13 months. Although people struggling with addiction “will be looking to manipulate the situation any way they can to avoid doing the rigorous internal work required to live a good life in recovery,” David acknowledged. This is a tough position for loved ones who are trying to make the best decision. “Building a foundation in recovery takes ample time, and it’s not something that can be accomplished inside of 30 days.”

That foundation at New Life House is based on teaching vital life skills alongside treating the character of each resident, including the importance of a strong work ethic, living honestly, benefits of community, and essential coping skills for sobriety. “New Life House understands that abstinence is a vital stepping stone to true development of an individual,” David shared, “and our hands-on approach focuses on giving our residents the platform to become the best person they can be.” 

San Diego’s Haunted Houses Offer Thrills and Chills

by LAINEY KRAL

G

et ready to get spooky this fall! Whether you’re looking for family-friendly chills or the scare of a lifetime, San Diego offers a variety of haunted experiences this Halloween season. Most open in October or late September, and some are open year-round with special events in October. 

THE WHALEY HOUSE

THE SCREAM ZONE

SPOOKY SCHOOLS

OTHER LOCAL HAUNTS

Known as one of the most haunted houses in the country, Old Town’s Whaley House Museum is open year-round for tours. The museum highlights the house’s early history, with a focus on the late 1800s. The house’s long history includes plenty of ghostly folklore, and legends that its earliest residents are still haunting the halls.

San Diego’s Scream Zone at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is three attractions in one. The House of Horror, Haunted Hayride, and KarnEvil all feature creepy clowns and murderous mayhem – not suitable for children under 10. The general Scream Zone area is open free of charge so the rest of the family can enjoy the atmosphere and food vendors while the thrill-seekers sample the attractions.

For closer-to-home thrills and chills, many local schools host fall festivals and haunted houses in October. Admission is either free or supports school programs, which makes it a great way to give back while getting your scare on. Look up your local school to see what they’re offering and what age ranges the attractions are suitable for.

THE HAUNTED HOTEL Sept. 28 – Oct. 31 www.hauntedhotel.com

The Whaley House is open for extended hours from Oct. 24 through 31. www.whaleyhouse.org

Seeds of Positivity

S

cripps Ranch High School is starting off the school year with some new architectural additions to their campus, one of which is going to be the new SRHS butterfly garden. It will feature native butterfly host and feeding plants, composting, and multicultural themed plant families. The garden will be built with a wooden fence enclosure, gravel pathway, an archway entrance, and raised beds for an edible garden.

Students began brainstorming during February and March of 2018, and they proposed their idea to have the garden

next to the new English building in the spring. On June 5, the school approved the construction to begin and on July 15 ground was broken. They are looking for tools, supplies, and donations to get the garden started. Students are excited for this new addition to their campus and hope it will help add to the campus’ sustainability and positivity.

The garden will be used for many activities such as an outdoor classroom for the biology department, additional outdoor space for students to hangout, and of course by the Butterfly Effect Club. The

butterfly garden is a symbol of the shift in the school’s culture; academic rigor is the main priority at SRHS, but now the school is actively trying to embrace passion and positivity more prominently, very much due to the essential support from the new principal, Mrs. DeWitt. Stop by the Scripps campus to visit the new butterfly garden at the start of the school year. 

Nicole Poirier is a junior at Scripps Ranch High School. She is participating in an internship program with 92131 Magazine.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell?

et’s dispense with the obvious: if you ask a real estate agent, it is always a good time to buy or sell – we don’t make money otherwise. But, is it a good time for you to buy or sell? Different question. In this issue, I am just going to approach this from the standpoint of your primary residence. Next issue we can look at investment property.

I’ve always believed that the main purpose of your home is to provide stability for your family. The forced saving aspect of paying off a 30-year mortgage is very valuable if you are going to be in the home long enough to make a dent in the principal and appreciation is definitely a huge plus, but prices don’t always have to go up. Over the next few years, prices should be more stable than they have been as rising interest rates both make homes more expensive to afford (pushing prices down) and

limit the amount of inventory on the market rates don’t hurt cash buyers. On the other hand, (pushing prices up). if you’re thinking of selling to sit on the sidelines Unfortunately, if you are buying, this means and wait for the crash, I think you’re making a that although prices may stay relatively level, the mistake and might find yourself priced out of affordability will go down as rates go up. So, look what you would consider an acceptable home. for a home that will fit your needs for the next Over the next few years, I would not plan 10 to 12 years and not just the next four to five on real estate rising or falling to any great years. There isn’t much value in waiting either degree. Focus on the best place to raise your as the lack of inventory will prevent prices from family or live in retirement. You might just be falling much while rising rates will reduce your in the house long purchasing power. In other words, you might enough to make a not be able to afford more later. dent in that 30-year On the sales side, once again it should mortgage.  be about your personal and family situation.
