FROM THE PUBLISHER VO L . 7, N O. 3 TM
Welcome to the ‘20s
I
t’s easy to get excited for a new year. Resolutions are made. People dream of what the new year holds. But a new decade is an entirely different beast. Welcome to the ‘20s! I can only imagine what this new decade will bring. The ‘20s will be the third decade of my adult life (considering adult life to be post-college). When I look back at everything that has happened over the past couple of decades, I can’t help but get excited for what’s yet to come. Our oldest daughter, Ashley, is scheduled to get her M.B.A. in May. Starting the ‘20s off with a major accomplishment, the coming years will certainly be exciting for her as she enters the first decade of her adult life. Our son, Peyton, and youngest daughter, Audrey, are in the middle of their high school years. They will experience high school graduation and their college years during the ‘20s – and then some. My wife and I will each hit a major age milestone during the ‘20s – yikes! And it appears, as long as things go as planned, that we are likely to become empty nesters later in the decade. How crazy is that? I hope that the ‘20s will deliver the same type of hectic joy that the last decade has brought. Although I would love for things to simply slow down, I can’t Derrick Breaux help but imagine how we will all look back at the ‘20s once Publisher they have come and gone. And since a new year and decade would not be as fun without resolutions, rest assured that I have a few that I’m working on. You’ll have to stay tuned for the updates. Happy new year (decade) from the Breaux family to yours!
Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

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

Learning Problems Don’t Have to be Permanent There are Real and Lasting Solutions
Having a learning challenge can be compared to doing a job at the top of a ladder, whose lower rungs are unstable. Working in this way makes the job harder, and take longer to complete. By strengthening the lower rungs, or underlying skills, learning challenges can be eliminated, and work done at the top of the ladder can improve, with increased attention, focus, confidence and success!
“
After working with TLC, our daughter does all her homework without prompting, needs very little help, and her grades are all A’s and B+. She seems happy and confident. Her work with TLC has been invaluable, and we are very thankful!” -TLC parent
“All of the staff is amazing-- caring, patient, & positive. My son's clinician challenged him without pushing him to frustration. A worthwhile investment in my child's future!” -TLC parent “TLC is nothing short of a miracle. I will admit I was initially hesitant. It is not cheap, and the promises of academic progress seem too good to be true. However, I am not being dramatic when I say it was worth every penny and it changed my son's academic life forever.” - TLC parent

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

Miracle League Honors Service Award Recipients
Volunteers Needed for Habitat Restoration Project Community members ages 13 and up have the opportunity to help Nature Collective biologists restore the native habitat at Harbaugh Seaside Trails in January by installing native plant seedlings. “We invite everyone to get outside and enjoy the coastal breezes as we all join together to make Harbaugh Seaside Trails an incredible place,” said Doug Gibson, Nature Collective Executive Director. “Years from now, you will get to see how this land is thriving and personally feel a part of its natural legacy.” Volunteer planting events will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on January 11, 18, and 25. Each event is limited to 50 participants. Harbaugh Seaside Trails – the three-acre coastal overlook linking Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach – is nearly complete after a year of restoration efforts. The space will be officially unveiled in February. Sign up to help at www.thenaturecollective.org/events.

The Miracle League of San Diego recently honored its 2019 Outstanding Service Award recipients: Georgia Sims, Grace Laliotis, Ryan Grozen, Naomi Ryder, Caroline Berg, Brendan Chapko, Jack Kuffner, Michelle Coad, Trenton Wilson, Trevor Hagen, and Jacob McKanry. The honorees are high school seniors who have volunteered their time for at least three years, staying actively engaged with the Miracle League community, the players, and their families, and making a positive impact on all involved. Founded in 2006, The Miracle League of San Diego is a nonprofit organized baseball league for people with special needs. Every player is matched with a buddy for the entire season and each buddy is paired with the player based on his or her unique needs. Games are played at two locations: Engel Family Field in Del Mar and Bell Middle School in the South Bay. Registration is now open for the Spring 2020 season. For more information visit www.miracleleagueofsandiego.org.
Voices for Children’s (VFC) 17th Annual Starry Starry Night Gala, held at Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, raised more than $1.15 million to support the organization’s Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. The event, co-chaired by Katie Sullivan, Annette Bradbury, Lisette Farrell, Haeyoung Tang, and Lise Wilson, hosted nearly 350 guests for an evening under the stars, complete with a cocktail reception, dinner, live auction, and dancing. A highlight of the event was hearing from former foster youth Corrin, as she shared the impact her CASA had on her life. VFC also presented its inaugural CASA of the Year award to Christie Ranney, who has served as a CASA volunteer for 15 children, including three sets of siblings, over the course of 18 years. She also serves on the organization’s volunteer outreach team and has helped recruit hundreds of volunteers to take on the CASA role. Learn more at www.speakupnow.org.

The Del Sol Lions Club Puts Kindness in Action
I
n February, the Del Sol Lions Club celebrates its 10th
anniversary – a decade of serving the local communities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, and Rancho Santa Fe
through programs addressing four areas of need, including at-risk youth and families, hunger, visual impairment, and veterans. We speak with Del Sol Lions Club President David Cain to learn more about how the club plans to expand its impact in the next 10 years.
16 • DELSOLMAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2020
i o L n a e k Q&A with Del Sol Lions Club President David Cain What is the Lions Club mission?
To serve the local community and to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions clubs. Put simply, we serve…one act of service, one encouraging word, one act of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it is needed most. Over the past 100 years the kindness of 1.4 million Lions members has multiplied across the globe and right here in our Del Sol Club community. Please give us a brief history of the Del Sol Lions Club. When was it founded and by whom? The Del Sol Lions Club was founded on February 10, 2010 to serve the communities
of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe. Shortly after establishing the club, we formed the Del Sol Lions Foundation, a 501(c)3, to allow us to better partner and serve the community. All of the money raised by the foundation goes into the north coastal community. What communities and organizations does the club serve?
Primarily the north coastal communities. Since its inception 10 years ago, the Del Sol Lions have completed 225 service and fundraising projects, totaling over 11,000 volunteer hours! To date, the Del Sol Lions Foundation has raised $360,000 and already reinvested $287,000 back into the local community with programs addressing four areas of need: atJanuary | February 2020 • DELSOLMAGAZINE.COM • 17

Personal invitation by two charter members. As a lifetime resident of our service area, my business activity provided insight with certain needs of our community. Business and social contacts and friends over the years would comment on food needs of members of the community. Others would reference the dynamics of the St. Leo's community health service program. Some would comment on the need for kids programs, educational books, and school nutrition. Helping to serve these and other social needs prompted the formation of Del Sol Lions Club. What is your current role within the club, and what duties does it entail? Serving as a fourth term club president has been a positive experience and focusing mainly on organization. While it is time consuming there is satisfaction in working with our club membership and its service projects. There is satisfaction in watching the development of projects, assisting with making them work, and guiding the formation of new projects that benefit the Del Sol community. A major role is ensuring our members have the financial and project 18 • DELSOLMAGAZINE.COM • January | February 2020
resources to get things done. That is sometimes easier said than done. What is the most rewarding aspect of what you do? The most challenging? The most rewarding aspect is knowing that we are having a large, tangible positive impact on the people we serve. The challenge is there is always more to do! It’d be great to have a few more volunteers to further expand the programs we offer. How many members does the club currently have? 23. What kinds of activities is the club involved with? On the service side, we have a range of programs including back-to-school supplies and eye exams and glasses for at-risk kids, food distributions to 6070 local families in need, and donations to other nonprofits doing critical work including Blind Stokers, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Resource Center. Recently, we received a $40,000 grant to set up a new training program for Next Step Service Dogs, a group that assists vets and first responders suffering from PTSD. Can you elaborate on some of the projects you’ve worked on in the past? Since inception, we have partnered
with Solana Beach schools to provide eye exams and glasses for underserved children, partnered with Casa de Amistad to provide school supplies and reading books, and partnered with the La Colonia Boys & Girls Club to provide a range of things including calculators, homework rewards, and career launch meeting snacks. We support the visually impaired by funding things like tandem cycling and adaptive wall climbing to the Blind Stokers, providing vision aids like canes and specialty devices to the San Diego Center for the Blind, and by providing MTS bus passes and new doors at the Blind Community Center. We recently helped purchase sleeping bags for homeless veterans throughout the county. We’re excited by the $40,000 grant secured for Next Step Service Dogs to create a Dog Training Academy for Veterans (DTAV). This program trains vets to become dog trainers so they have gainful employment. We also partner with the San Diego Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and Community Resource Center to address local food scarcity issues. When and where does the club meet? Fletcher Cove Community Center on the fourth Tuesday of the month.
What are the Del Sol Lions’ short-term and long-term goals? Continue to grow membership and continue to increase the positive impact we make as a group to the local community. Are there any exciting projects, events, or programs coming up? I would like to mention that we received $15,000 from the Pittsburg Foundation in November to facilitate grants directly to aid American Samoa, as well as the local community. We worked with a local family on a humanitarian aid package that has been assembled and will ship to the island soon. We are reaching out to the Samoan community in north county and especially Oceanside, in order to make distributions to directly benefit that specific audience. The Del Sol Lions Board met recently to prioritize and discuss the potential recipients for the remaining funds, which we hope to distribute in the first quarter. What have been some of the club’s most memorable achievements over the years? Obtaining large grants to help other local nonprofits fulfill their ability to help the local community. Being able to annually provide backpacks and
school supplies to over 250 local needy youth. How would interested community members get involved in the Del Sol Lions Club? What are the criteria for membership? Contact one of the directors or call me directly. You just need a willingness to volunteer and commit minimum time to projects. What can new members expect when joining the club? New members will be welcomed by current members into an energized group of volunteers that want to continue helping the local community. Members can become immersed in all of the fundraising and volunteering efforts we do or pick one or two projects they want to focus on.

hen she was just eight years old, Miah Nwosu fell in love with ballet by way of gymnastics. “I was taking ballet to improve my gymnastics skills and then I hit a big growth spurt which made it very difficult to get my legs around in flips,” she shared. “I opted to give up gymnastics and dance full time.” Angela Amoroso had arrived from New York City prior to that time, opening the Scripps Performing Arts Academy (SPAA). “I immediately recognized Miah’s tremendous potential and recommended her for a merit scholarship award,” Angela said. “The rest is magical history.” Miah met her most influential teacher while training at the Academy, a former soloist with the Royal Ballet in London. Her influence completely changed Miah’s outlook and approach on everything. Always deeply interested in the mechanics behind movement, Miah studied how the muscles worked and how to make a movement, shape, or position work well for every body. After an injury forced her to realign her professional dance performance dreams, Miah moved back to San Diego from New York and joined the creative team at Scripps Performing Arts Academy. “I loved performing, but I UPCOMING believe I am doing exactly what I was EVENTS meant to be doing and the path that brought me here provides me with a unique 31st Annual performance point of view in approaching training and wholeof The Nutcracker – Dec. 13-15 and 22-23.

The Academy inspires each student to recognize and cultivate their own gifts and talents, rather than focus on unnecessary and unhealthy competitive environments found in modern society. “When young people practice ballet to cultivate personal alignment,” Angela shared, “their dreams come to them... every time!” Needing another avenue for dancers to develop their artistic voices, Miah formed the Scripps Ballet Theatre, a youth ballet company (turning 10 this year!). SBT is open to serious ballet students – by audition – ages 14-18 throughout San Diego County. The SPAA and, by extension, SBT has programs and staff that care about the students, not just as dancers or performers, but as whole human beings. “Yes, we strive to create exceptional artists,” Miah affirmed, “but it’s equally important to help them become exceptional people.” SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

N
ew York Times best-selling author and animal advocate Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt will join the roster of speakers at North San Diego Business Chamber’s San Diego Women’s Week Leadership Conference on Friday, March 20. Katherine will discuss her newest book, The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Unforgivable, a collection of interview-style stories from those who have learned to let go of resentment and find peace, intertwined with Katherine’s own personal insights. “Forgiveness is a topic that everyone will have to deal with at some point in their lives. None of us can get through life without being faced with the opportunity to forgive,” Katherine said. “My hope with this book is that through reading these compelling stories, people are able to apply some of the findings to their own journey.”
San Diego Women’s Week will take place March 16-20, with three events throughout the week. Opening Night will be held on Monday, March 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Petco in Rancho Bernardo, and includes a keynote speaker, panel discussion, book exchange, vendors, appetizers and drinks, and networking.

it is a unique lifestyle brand that offers members much more than just a gym. “Fit Solana Beach is a warm and welcoming environment where people feel motivated to work on themselves and their health and wellness goals. Fit is a community and a family – everyone is welcome to join,” stated Jenna Jones, manager at Fit Solana Beach. The club holds regular social events, offers healthy grab-and-go meals at the onsite café, and allows members to achieve their zen in the tranquility of a beachside locale. As an anchor in the Solana Beach community, Fit offers personal and small group training personalized to meet each member’s individual goals. “We have a wide variety of group fitness classes, from yoga and Pilates, to strength training, dance, indoor cycling, boxing, and barre. In addition, we have state-of-the art workout equipment and locker rooms with showers, saunas, and complementary towel service,” revealed Jones. The 2,000-square-foot indoor turf training area, beach access, and beach workout classes add to the unique offerings of Fit Solana Beach. Individualized service is a great source of pride for the Fit team. Just as each member comes in with a different goal, each trainer at Fit has their own area of expertise. “Our trainers come from a wide variety of backgrounds with specialties ranging from boxing, mobility, sports psychology, sports performance, nutrition, and pre and postnatal, as well as Ironman, marathon, triathlon, and military training,” related Jones. While some members may be looking to train for their first race, others may be searching for an overall fitness plan to become healthier and more active. The Fit team will listen to each member and match them to the right personal trainer that can help them meet their individual goals. Staying true to their family-friendly philosophy, Fit offers childcare that is just as unique as the health club itself. “With Fit’s ‘Playcare’ method, your child is encouraged to get active through play while you do the same. You can have peace of mind that your child is in good hands with our qualified care professionals,” stated Jones. Members can also rest assured that their four-legged family members are well cared for, as Fit provides outdoor dog kennels as a convenient perk.

Hwy 101 Solana Beach, CA 92075 Website: Fitathletic.com Email: Jenna@fitathletic.com Phone: 858-792-4008 Description of Business: Just steps away from San Diego’s iconic waves, Fit Solana Beach is the ideal fitness facility for indoor and outdoor recreation.

“They do their best to keep things clean, the staff is always polite and helpful, but one thing that helps this gym standout is their personal trainers. I feel so lucky to have trainer Jessica Scherr – she helped me transform myself from a lazy couch potato to be able to run my first marathon. When I first started training with Jessica, I couldn’t even do three pull ups; I can now do 13. Every training day she comes in with a custom handwritten plan for the day, so my body is constantly guessing what’s next. She also gives me exercise homework so I’m seeing improvement every week. Thanks to the strength and confidence Jessica has given me I will be doing my first Ironman in the spring of 2020. And hopefully, qualify for Boston in the 2020 marathon season. If you’re looking to change your life for the better, I highly recommend you join Fit and hire Jessica Scherr to help you on your journey.” – Joe A. “This gym is so beautiful and it’s located right next to the ocean! I love it! Alec was very helpful when it came to getting information about the gym and helping me sign up. He also listened to my needs and picked out the best personal trainer for me. I have been training with Scott for the past two months and have noticed such a difference. He makes working out fun and knows when to push me. The staff is friendly and the gym is very clean and they always have a good playlist going. Overall, it’s the best gym in San Diego!” – Danielle S. “Great gym with all of the equipment you need. They have a nice indoor turf area and an outside area to work out with a fresh breeze. Nice cooling eucalyptus towels waiting for you in mini fridges after a workout. Cozy sauna and clean bathrooms to get prepared for work or wherever you’re off to next. If you want to train, especially for marathons and such, Murray is a great trainer! Not only have I learned to endure runs farther than I ever thought I could but I’m truly enjoying it, craving it. Murray is also super knowledgeable and has helped me understand how every little exercise works and what it can help you achieve. Overall, great gym and staff for a reasonable price. Thank you!” – Alice L.
