Where Did the Time Go?
I
must have been in denial. How could my daughter be old enough to go to prom? Where did the time go? I’m pretty sure that my wife and I were walking her into her first day of kindergarten class a couple of years ago. Apparently all of this sort of snuck up on me. How is it possible to have your oldest child go from diapers, to learning how to ride a bike, to having their first slumber party, to going to their prom – all in a few years? Well, that’s certainly how fast it seems that time has gone by in our household! To say that seeing our beautiful daughter all dressed up, smiling and laughing with her longtime friends and their dates, taking pictures, and getting ready to go to their prom had an impact on my wife and I would be an incredible understatement. As it turns out, I believe it was just as much of a coming of age moment for us as it was for our daughter. How in the heck did time go by so fast? Sure, I knew that it was coming. Our daughter’s date did a great job when he asked her to prom (I guess the process of asking someone to prom is a much bigger ordeal than it used to be in my day). My wife and daughter had spent several weeks searching for dresses and preparing for the event. I participated and offered my opinion when they would let me.
Then, out of nowhere, via text message from my wife and daughter, I received “the” photo of the dress that they were about to purchase. She looked beautiful. She looked all grown up. With mixed emotions, I reluctantly texted my approval. Reality check! Doesn’t this mean that I’m getting old too? How in the world did this happen? My wife and I had the privilege of joining a bunch of other parents to take photos of our kids and their prom dates before they all left for the event. We visited with parents that we have known for years. We saw many familiar faces of kids – all dressed to impress – that we have known since early elementary school. There were hugs. There were smiles. There was even an occasional tear as we all looked on and participated – often reflecting back to our own high school years. After seeing the group of kids leave for the evening, my wife and I began our short drive back to our house. We had both realized that our little family that we have nurtured over the years was growing up. As a parent, we know that this is inevitable. We just didn’t expect it to happen quite so fast.

Michelle DASTYCK Brings Marketing Knowledge to 92009 Magazine
M
ichelle Dastyck, a San Diego area marketing veteran and Carlsbad resident, is the new Senior Marketing Consultant for 92009 and 92011 Magazines. Michelle consults directly with the area’s business community on how best to promote and market their business by utilizing 92009 Magazine and other ZCode Media products and services. “We are extremely excited to have Michelle as part of the 92009 Magazine team,” said Publisher Derrick Breaux. “Her extensive experience, creative and knowledgeable marketing skills and personal involvement with the community, will greatly benefit the area.” Michelle grew up working in her parents’ men’s clothing store in Solana Beach. At the young age of nine, she designed her first print ad for the store. From then on, she knew a marketing career would be in the cards. After college, Michelle worked as a writer and producer of television commercials for KJCT TV in Grand Junction, CO. Since then, she has worked for a variety of television stations and production companies, sold online advertising to local businesses, and assisted several small
North County businesses to provide a full range of marketing services. Michelle feels her background in marketing will provide growth opportunities for local businesses. “My passion is with small businesses and helping them succeed,” shared Michelle. Michelle and her family – including her extended family – have lived in Carlsbad since 2000. “My husband, Bill [of 16 years] and nine-year old twins, Blake and Hailey, love being part of this community. Carlsbad is the perfect self-contained city to raise a family. Everything we always need is right here in our backyard – great parks, amazing schools, fabulous shopping and awesome neighbors. I simply love Carlsbad and am proud to say we are locals to the core,” exclaimed Michelle. When Michelle is not out and about sharing the benefits of being part of the magazines, you can find her volunteering her time. Be it at Kelly Elementary School raising money for the PTA, working in the school garden, or planning church events and service projects for The Anchor Church in Solana Beach. Michelle can be reached at michelle.dastyck@zcodemedia.com or 858-207-6317. ¢

Jamie Brown is Well on His Way to the 2016 Paralympic Games
A
by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Soul of Photography
sk 92009 resident Jamie Brown what it takes to be a part of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) Elite Paratriathlon Team and his answer is simple: “Just being an athlete takes consistency, passion and dedication. We [paratriathletes] don’t prepare any differently than any other able-bodied athlete,” stated Jamie. Paratriathlon will make its debut at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, and Jamie is one of seven top-performing U.S. paratriathletes supported by CAF on the road to this milestone event. Jamie has always been an athlete and earned a scholarship to play collegiate baseball at Chapman University. He graduated from Chapman University in 2003, but didn’t start his career in paratriathlon until 2010. “About three years ago, I met fellow Carlsbad resident Erica Davis, who is also a challenged athlete. Through her I was introduced to the great people at CAF,” explained Jamie. CAF is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help those with physical challenges get involved and stay involved in sports. CAF supports athletes through events, mentorship and training programs, as well as through grants and sponsorships. According to Jamie, CAF has been a pioneer in the paratriathlon movement in the United States, and with the formation of the Elite Paratriathlon Team, is moving U.S. paratriathletes closer to the goal of competing in the 2016 Paralympic Games. As the USA Triathlon National Champion in paratriathlon for both 2011 and 2012, Jamie knows a great deal about intense training and dedication. He bikes and swims three to four times per week and runs two to three times per week. “You can see me around the village and the beach doing most of my training. Right now, training occupies a lot of my time, but I really love it. I’m consistently being challenged,” said Jamie. And when Jamie isn’t engaging in his own training regimen, he is helping others reach their fitness goals as a personal trainer for 24 Hour Fitness. Family time is also a priority in Jamie’s life. “I have two wonderful parents, Gary and Lyanne, two great sisters, Jennifer and Tammie, as well as a niece, a nephew and one more on the way,” revealed Jamie. He feels blessed to have such an incredible support network that continues to motivate and inspire him as he embarks on his journey toward Rio. For more information about CAF, visit www.challengedathletes.org.

THINK SUPPORT
FIRST An Initiative to Bring Vibrancy and Improvements to the Community San Diego North Chamber of Commerce (SDNCC) and ZCode Magazines have recently partnered to bring the Think Local First campaign to the community. The initiative will encompass all businesses and communities in the north region of San Diego. The campaign is designed to strengthen the economic base of our local communities by encouraging local purchasing, contracting and services. Did you know that when you purchase products, services and hire within the region, it has a tremendous impact on the success and vibrancy of the community? You may ask why the campaign? What is the big deal about shopping locally or visiting a neighborhood restaurant rather than one that may be on the outskirts of town? In a nutshell, when you shop locally, you invest in the community. In this economic climate, the best return on investment is in local business. It is estimated that for every dollar you spend, twice as much will be reinvested in the community by a local store than a national store. Think about the long-term effect of your spending choices. The shopping decisions you make today have a ripple effect on our local and regional economy.

REASONS TO THINK LOCAL FIRST...

businesses purchase from other local businesses, thus building the tax base and making improvements to multiple local entities. Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally, and provide the most new jobs to residents. One-of-a-kind businesses create a distinctive character in the community. There is something to be said for being proud of “the bubble� you live in. Local businesses are owned by people who live in the community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community's future. They end up being the biggest cheerleaders for local sport teams, organizations and schools. There will be a reduction on the impact to the environment. Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases which requires less transportation. This means less congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Make a decision to find and patronize locally owned businesses, restaurants, storefronts, and so forth, wherever and whenever possible.When you shop online with out-of-state companies, there is zero contribution to the local economy. So check for businesses who offer the same products nearby.
Each time you choose to spend your dollars at a local, independent business, you are voting for the continued strength and vitality of our community. So, make it a point to Think Local First! We are all in this together.

lexandra Gmuer has lived in La Costa for seven of her eight years of life. She is a soon-to-be third grader at La Costa Meadows Elementary School. She loves the library, the science garden, the computer room and the music room, but she really excels at the Accelerated Reader (A.R.) program. Alexandra earned so many A.R. points last year she got to attend a field trip to California State University San Marcos (CSUSM). “The library was five stories and the best part of the field trip!” she explained. “Going to the campus made me really excited about going to college. I might even go there [CSUSM],” she declared. CSUSM would be lucky to have Alexandra as a student, who is the top reader in her class not because she’s interested in accolades, but because she set a personal goal to be the best. Her favorite subjects are reading and history, she enjoys books by Judy Blume, Katie DiCamillo and Gill
Lewis and she follows a variety of book collections. Some of her favorites include the Diary of a Wimpy Kid set, I Survived books, the historical American Girl series and her current favorite – The Spiderwick Chronicles. Alexandra credits Mrs. Schneider, the school librarian, as a reading inspiration. She explained,“[Mrs. Schneider] has taught me reading is fun and you can learn new things “The library was fiFIve stories through books.” Projects such as a diorama and a family and the best part of the tree report are Alexandra’s FIfield trip.” she explained. favorites. Her ambition is to go “Going to the campus made to college to play basketball me really excited about prior to becoming a librarian going to college. I might or a third grade teacher. even go there [CSUSM].” It’s not all about school for Alexandra, though. Fishing with her dad at local lagoons and the jetty off Ponto Beach rank high on her list, sometimes using sand crabs as bait. Once she caught seven fish and a baby sting ray. She participates in church, YMCA and takes a hip-hop class. She’s spending the summer at an all-girls basketball camp and is interested in starting a book club with her friends. Alexandra Gmuer has already accumulated many interests and dreams in her eight years. She is inspired by her mom and dad, loves living in La Costa close to the beach and her extended family and shows that she is a true San Diegan when she tells us that collecting heart-shaped beach rocks is one of her favorite activities. Alexandra, the eight-year-old, book-loving student star sure does have a heart-warming tale to tell and a bright future ahead of her.

Healthy Hikers The Sowinski Family’s Love of Nature Influences Their Healthy Endeavors by linda frabl | photos by Soul of Photography
A
sense of serenity comes over us when we exist in harmony within our surroundings. For the Sowinski family, being at one with the earth has influenced their whole livelihood. Parents Camille and Mike Sowinski first met while both were studying environmental law at the Vermont Law School, and the couple continue to raise their family, including daughter Sophia (11) and son Luca (9), in an environmentally conscious way in Carlsbad’s Corona La Costa neighborhood. “We are a pretty ‘green’ household. We compost our food scraps, grow lots of our own food and never, ever buy paper towels or wrapping paper,” Camille proudly stated. It’s no wonder that Camille earns a living as the co-founder/co-president of Healthy Day Partners, a non-profit organization that provides environmental education and wellness programs to schools and the local community. Mike has found a similar vocation, working for an environmental technology firm, and handling environmental pollution issues through his own consulting practice.
Parents: Community: Hometown: Occupation:

22 • 92009Magazine.com • August | September 2013
The family’s love of nature influences one of their favorite activities – hiking on beautiful trails. Mike admitted, “Together, we like to hike the local peaks as well as the ones we can hit during our annual summer road trips. We’ve conquered many, including Bernardo Mountain, Torrey Pines, Cowles Mountain, Elfin Forest and even peaks in Big Sur, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Sedona, Moab and Vermont.” They especially love the nearby switchback trail in the Rancho La Costa Preserve, which they’ve nicknamed “Tarantula Hike” after seeing the spiders on the path. In addition to hiking peaks, the Sowinskis keep fit through other healthy endeavors. “We’re a pretty active family,” Mike exclaimed. Case in point: Luca just finished his third year playing competitive soccer, and also does lacrosse as well as flag football, which Mike coaches. Plus, Luca enjoys mountain biking and is learning to surf. As for Sophia, “she dances even more than all of Luca’s activities combined,” Camille “We are a pretty ‘green’ emphasized. Sophia studies ballet, household.

How To Properly Retire Your American Flag
Community members can ensure a proper retirement of their American flags thanks to the City of Carlsbad’s Fire Department and Library. Carlsbad City Library on Dove Lane now has a flag drop box supplied by the Fire Department. A second flag drop box was installed in the spring at the Georgina Cole Library on Carlsbad Village Drive. According to the Unites States Flag Code, flags that are no longer fitting to display must be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. The drop boxes, which resemble red mailboxes, provide a convenient and respectful method for flag retirement. At Carlsbad City Library, the drop box is located next to the drive-up book return and at Cole Library the drop box will be located next to the book return in front of the library. “The City of Carlsbad’s Fire Department has been accepting worn flags from the public, which we burn in a fire pit,” said Fire Captain Skip Clark. “We were looking for the most convenient location to provide a flag drop-off service and decided on the library. Now community members will be able to dispose of their flags and know that their fire department will respectfully and safely take care of the rest. This is just another way that the Carlsbad Fire Department is at your service.” Carlsbad City Library is located at 1775 Dove Lane and Georgina Cole Library is located at 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive. The flag retirement drop boxes will be available 24/7 outside of the libraries.

SDNCC “A CELEBRATION OF BUSINESS” T photos by Janis Foley
he San Diego North Chamber of Commerce (SDNCC) held the 2013 Annual Celebration of Business Awards Gala in late June at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The event, hosted by comedian, Kim Coles of In Living Color and Living Single, was a true celebration of doing business successfully, responsibly and for the spirit of the community. The SDNCC staff and their interns did a fantastic job planning for the highly anticipated event, held at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The purpose was to honor the best and brightest of San Diego County’s business community while highlighting achievements in corporate and individual categories. A variety of business achievement awards were presented in nine distinct categories to include: Non Profits of the Year: Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego and The Elizabeth Hospice Community Leader Small Business: Miguel’s Cocina Community Leader Medium Business: Sullivan Solar Power Community Leader Large Business: TERADATA Entrepreneur of the Year: Lauren Reynolds Woman in Business: Deanna Smith Small Business of the Year: Strategic Business Communications Business of the Year: San Diego County Credit Union Volunteer of the Year: Widney Hawthorne Business Leader of the Year: Derrick Breaux, ZCode Media Visionary Award: Bonnie Dumanis Environmental Stewardship: Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort Healthiest Large Business: Bridgepoint Education Healthiest Small Business: Bill Howe Plumbing
The evening was filled with anticipation of silent auction item bidding contests, a cocktail hour, board installation, dinner and the awards ceremony where applause was generously given as each recipient was honored. Derrick Breaux, Publisher of ZCode Media, was completely surprised and humbled by his award. Upon receiving the Business Leader of the Year award, Breaux shared his enthusiasm for having the opportunity to be so involved in the local communities. He also praised the team he has built and how ZCode Media has thrived from the very beginning because of their passion for “producing magazines that people love to read.” ZCode Media has grown to host 10 community magazines since the Premiere issue of 92127 Magazine in November of 2009; Del Sol Magazine as the newest addition. ¢

2013 Lancers Sports Fall Preview
O
ver the years I have read many books in an attempt to gain wisdom from others. In this pursuit I have come upon several quotes from different individuals that I have adopted as my own. I cannot credit them to the correct individuals anymore, but here are my favorites: • Never try to be better than someone else, but never cease trying to be the best you can become. • You have no control over where you have been, but you have control over where you are going. • The joy is in the journey not the destination. • Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.
• What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular. • There is enough success in the world for everyone given the willingness to work for it. • The star of the team is the team. • John Wooden was undeniably one of the two or three greatest coaches of all time. His philosophies are studied not only by coaches, but leaders in all walks of life. He has two definitions that I believe are important. 1. Success is the peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
Girls & Boys Cross Country
2. Competitive Greatness is a real love for the hard battle, knowing it offers the opportunity to be at your best when your best is required. The great competitors share a joy derived from the struggle itself-the journey; the contest. They have done so because only in that supreme effort is there an opportunity to summon your best, a personal greatness that cannot be diminished, dismissed or derided because of a final score or bottom line.

here is nothing like fall season at La Costa Canyon High School. There is something exciting about the start of the school year, the campus opening with excitement and student athletes returning with high expectations for the season ahead. This fall, the football team, under fourth year head coach, Sean Sovacool, looks to improve on their last year early finish in the CIF quarterfinals and fill some key roles on the line and at the quarterback spot. Boys water polo, under new head coach Anthony Vail, seeks to extend beyond
their first ever CIF semi-final appearance last season. Girls and boys cross country, under veteran coach Bill Vice, will continue to dominate in the North County, but have to fill some big shoes left by the exit of Kelly Lawson and Elle Abrahamsen to win another League and CIF Championship on the girls side. Girls volleyball, coached by Pat McDougall, has developed as one of the most successful San Diego Section high school programs for the past nine years. Field hockey is led by new head coach Gail Petty; the former retired Vista field hockey

The event takes place Friday, Aug. 16, with dinner served at 6:30 p.m. The movie will start at sunset with a showing of “The Cisco Kid” prior to the main feature. Guests are encouraged to bring low back chairs, warm clothes, a flashlight and a blanket. Tickets, which must be purchased by Aug. 9, are $30 each and include one dinner and a complimentary door prize entry. Only 150 tickets are available for this popular annual event. Proceeds from the event support the Carrillo Ranch Trust Fund, which was established by the City of Carlsbad to enable the public to support the continued restoration and enhancement of the historic site. Donations to the trust fund are only used for the development, operation and maintenance of Leo Carrillo Ranch. The featured movie is the 1944 production “Moonlight and Cactus”, which tells the story of Petty Officer Tom Garrison (played by Tom Seidel) of the Merchant Marines who returns on shore leave to his cattle ranch.

Once owned by actor and conservationist Leo Carrillo, the ranch is secluded in the heart of a magnificently landscaped 27-acre canyon. The historic park features hand-crafted adobe buildings, antique windmills, a reflecting pool and many other beautiful historic structures where visitors can explore and experience California history. Nature-lovers delight in gorgeous surroundings that host dozens of brilliant peacocks who call the ranch home. Leo Carrillo Ranch is a designated National Historic Landmark that is connected to the citywide trails system via the four-mile Rancho Carrillo trail. During the past 10 years, the City of Carlsbad has worked closely with hundreds of dedicated volunteers to restore and preserve Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park and to offer such diverse programming as movie nights, Holiday at the Rancho, school sessions, docent led and self-guided tours, host of the Wild West Fest, and countless weddings and special events.

SKATER RISING 8-Year-Old Rylan Mancilla AKA Skate Park Master by Angie gallo | photos by Soul of Photography
G
etting to know Rylan Mancilla is easy. He is an eight year old with a lot of talent. Entering fourth grade at Rancho Carrillo Elementary School in the fall, he is a stand out student whose favorite subjects are social studies and history. At the age of six, Rylan’s parents took him to skate the ramps at Encinitas YMCA Skate Park for the first time, and he has never looked back. If Rylan Mancilla were to apply for a job as a professional skateboarder today, his resume would impress some skateboarding legends from Alphonzo Rawls, (the inventor of the “Kickflip”) to celebrity skateboarder Rob Dyrdek. Hands down, Rylan Mancilla is a skater on the rise. Since he began competing last year, Rylan has earned 22 awards in skateboard competitions across California. Last month, Rylan competed at the Aura Skate Park, California Amateur Skateboard League (CASL) and received first place in Bowl and Mini Ramp divisions. He also received second place in Bowl at the Shane Hidalgo Memorial contest. After qualifying for the Vans Warped Tour and State Games in 2012, Rylan is hooked on skateboarding. His most recent accolades include receiving first place in the 10 and under division in both the vertical and bowl competitions during July's California State Games. You can expect to see him skating to success at the upcoming Top Grom compitions as well. When asked who inspires him, Rylan replied, “My friends Taylor and Curtis, and professional 18-year-old Brazilian skateboarder, Pedro Barros.” Rylan is sponsored by Ztuntz Skateboards, S-One Helmet and Grombomb. “My dad is my coach, but I also ride for the Aerial Action Sports Team and Aura Skateboard Training Facility Team,” shared Rylan. If you can believe it, Rylan also plays soccer, basketball, snowboards and just recently started surfing. This is one grom who can do it all. Go for it Rylan!

has attracted more than 160 members, granted more than $420,000 to Carlsbad nonprofits, and raised more than $450,000 for a permanent endowment that will support Carlsbad causes into the future. The grants celebration also marked the second distribution of grants in Carlsbad from the Matt McLaughlin Live Here, Give Here Matching Program. The late Matt McLaughlin of Rancho Bernardo left a generous legacy gift to The San Diego Foundation for use by the Affiliate Foundations in North County. Thanks to the creation of the matching program, all CCF membership generated grantmaking funds will be matched, dollar for dollar, for at least three years. The Live Here, Give Here match doubled this year’s grants, from $48,893 to $97,787. “We’re deeply honored to recognize these seven outstanding contributors to our community,” said Tom Applegate, CCF Board Chair. “Thanks to the Matt McLaughlin Live Here, Give Here program, we were able to double our grantmaking this year.” Immediate Past CCF Chair, Hollyce Phillips, added, “The Live Here, Give Here program will allow us to have an incredible impact on Carlsbad over the next year. Now is the perfect time to become a member.” ¢

I have been a client of Kelly Halloran’s for many years and I could not be more impressed by her abilities as a dermatological expert.” -client Tiffany M.
FOR DERMATOLOGY NURSE PRACTITIONER KELLY HALLORAN, BEAUTY IS MUCH MORE THAN ROCKET SCIENCE
K
elly Halloran was a dermatology nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience when her clients urged her to start her own medical spa. “It would never have dawned on me to do such a thing – to start a new business,” Kelly admitted, “because I was not a business woman. But in 2006 I decided to give it a try.” The result was Mermaid by the Sea Clinical Skin Care in Carlsbad which has now temporarily settled in Vista. “It took all I could get and give to build a business establishment with not only panache, but with all the most current technologically safe, sound and effective cosmetic dermatologic procedures, treatments and skin care products available,” explained Kelly. Kelly’s goal is to make every single client
feel like they are a masterpiece – a beautiful piece of art – after reaping the rewards of the delicate care she delivers. “I think my patients enjoy that I work with them in achieving their desired results,” she shared. “They know I will not force my ideas for beauty on them but, rather, go with their concept of beauty.” UCSD and UCLA trained, Kelly collaborates with Dr. Linda Falconio, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Illinois who completed her family practice residency at the UCSD Medical Center. Collectively, the two of them offer cosmetic and medical treatments under one roof. “We offer a wide range of costeffective, state-of-the-art, non-surgical services and procedures to help every cosmetic skin care challenge,” Kelly asserted. Their offerings include chemical peels, medical facials, microdermabrasion, fotofacials, photodynamic
therapy, Portrait plasma resurfacing, fillers and volumizers, Botox, sclerotherapy for leg veins, and laser hair removal, to name a few. The results, according to past clients, are extraordinary. As Michelle B. reported, “Kelly Halloran is the best dermatologist I have ever been to. She has a great eye for cosmetic improvements.” Tiffany M. added, “I have been a client of Kelly Halloran’s for many years and I could not be more impressed by her abilities as a dermatological expert. I trust her and her artistic abilities completely and would never hesitate to refer any of my friends to her.” “Often patients’ expectations are not only achieved, they are exceeded, and many times immediately or with little downtime,” confirmed Kelly.

hil and Kathy Urbinas, the owners of Cousin’s Signs in Carlsbad, are committed to making the community a place where all residents feel at home. They are extremely involved with the Carlsbad Christmas Bureau Adopt-a-Family project, with Phil serving as president for the past 20 years and Kathy as a board member since 1994. “The organization was founded by community leaders in 1970. Each holiday season, we sign up approximately 500 families and work with businesses, organizations and individuals to provide food and gifts for them,” explained Phil. The couple and their children, Elizabeth and Ross, are honored to be a part of a group that helps brighten the holidays for the less fortunate. Kathy and Phil make sure that giving back is a part of their daily lives through their active roles in other local organizations, such as Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary, Encore Youth Theatre and the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. “Carlsbad is blessed to have so many people willing to step up and take leadership roles, to coach youth sports teams, to help build a Boys & Girls Club and to help the less fortunate. It’s rewarding to see our children grow up to help others as well,” said Phil. He and Kathy are proud to see Elizabeth and Ross show an interest in giving back to the community.

Kathy & Phil Urbina South Carlsbad, Rancho Ponderosa Owners, Cousin’s Signs Elizabeth (16), Ross (14)
(SDA), is a junior board member of Encore Youth Theatre. Ross attended Oak Crest Middle School last year where he served as a buddy in P.E. for challenged students. He hopes to continue helping others as he begins his freshman year at SDA in the fall. In addition to their community involvement, Phil and Kathy are tireless volunteers for their children’s activities. Phil has coached numerous youth sports teams and Kathy is a long-time volunteer at the local schools her children have and are attending. With so much of their time spent on sports fields cheering on their children, the Urbinas often laugh about how they will keep themselves occupied once the kids are in college. “We met in a running club, so we might take up running again. Kathy also hopes to get caught up with her scrapbooking,” laughed Phil. No matter how the Urbinas decide to keep busy, one thing is for certain: the community of Carlsbad will continue to receive the benefits of their volunteer endeavors.

GRAND PRIX of cycling
While the event is mainly geared toward biking enthusiasts, it still manages to offer something for everyone. To drive that point home, the Carlsbad Family Fun Ride – free to the public – will kick off the weekend events on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 9 a.m. “Based in Holiday Park, we have a full schedule of family-oriented fitness events centered around a family fun ride based on the Poker Ride concept,” said Fred. Families are sure to be satisfied with the day, as it is chock-full of activities for all ages, including, music, food, games, expos, a bike rodeo and a fitness course. The Carlsbad Grand Prix of Cycling is sponsored by Hoehn Motors and KPRI. For more information, visit www.carlsbadgrandprix.com. ¢

n Sunday, Sept. 8, the nonprofit group, Swami’s Cycling Club will be hosting its first ever Grand Prix cycling race in coastal Carlsbad. The mission behind the event: to promote cycling, to benefit a number of charities, including, the Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad, the Mitchelle Thorp Foundation, the Challenged Athletes Foundation, and to show off the city of Carlsbad, of course. The high-level bike race starts at 7 a.m., and encompasses a 0.9 mile course with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. “The public and first-timers are invited,” said Event Director, Fred Muir, who also explained that a oneday USA cycling license will be available for $5 for people who don’t hold an annual license. “This happens to be one of the safest, if not the safest, criterium course ever with only two turns,” he added. Hoping to emulate the Dana Point Grand Prix (a cycling event, Fred noted, that is considered to be the new standard of Criterium races in the U.S.) and eventually be part of a Beach Cities Criterium Series in Southern California, the race schedule calls for 16 races ranging from a 30-minute race to one over an hour in duration. A hand cycle race is also included. But the real draw of the event is its coastal location. “Whereas most races are held in industrial parks so as not to disrupt traffic in busier downtown locations… Carlsbad has a benefit in that, from our course and expo, spectators will have a 180 degree ocean view,” stated Fred.

Client TestimoniAl
look& feel your best! I started the program after having my fourth baby. I used this program as a jump-start for my weight loss and I really feel like I have taken it to a new level. I’m the thinnest I have ever been in my adult life and I feel great. I would highly recommend this program to anybody that feels discouraged, overwhelmed or depressed about their current weight.” ~ Christina

Why is this news potentially important to you? On May 7 we introduced several new brackets (braces). One is an esthetic ceramic (clear) bracket that is bonded to the outside of the teeth. The other is a small lingual bracket that attaches to the inside of the teeth and is invisible. This invisible bracket is capable of correcting minor crowding and rotation problems in a very short period of time (eight weeks to six months). As with any new product, a relatively large group of examples with this Roncone GPS Appliance is needed in order to train orthodontists around the world. Just as we have in past years, we are offering substantial discounts to those who participate in this educational process.

GEOCACHING
G
High Tech Hide & Seek
eocaching, a derivation of the outdoor sporting activity of geotrekking, is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
GEO – geography | CACHING – the process of hiding a cache
A
fter almost 13 years of activity, there are over five million people around the world in over 100 countries on all seven continents seeking treasures through geocaching. The only necessities to participate are a GPS device or a GPS-enabled mobile phone so you can navigate to the cache. One popular website, www.geocaching.com, takes you through the process from getting started to logging your findings in eight easy steps. Geocaches can be found all over the world and creativity has

been instrumental keeping the sport active. When researching where to start your hunt, remember that geocachers tend to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. Locations could vary from your local park, at the end of a long trek, on the side of a city street or even underwater. The hobby of geocaching has sparked boundless opportunities for adventure in your own backyard. Next time you hear, “Where shall we go?” you have your answer. Go outside and find a geocache. This family friendly, outdoor activity will optimize your time together while having fun, getting exercise and taking in the fresh air. Who knows, this new found hobby may lead you to that treasure you have been hunting for.
6.
Use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value.
7.
Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. If you take something from the geocaches, leave something of equal or greater value.

A Musical Adventure
Carlsbad Music Festival Celebrates 10 Years!
C
photos courtesy of Tanner Cook
arlsbad Music Festival is presenting its 10th anniversary festival of “adventurous music by the beach” from Sept. 20 to 22. The annual event is a 501 c(3) nonprofit that supports adventurous music. Each September, the most interesting and compelling musicians and composers across genres are invited to town to perform, create and collaborate. Last year, the event hosted 35 performances over the course of the festival weekend drawing over 3,000 attendees. Organizers are delighted that the festival has become both a community event that brings people together to explore adventurous music and an organization that is a nationally significant facilitator and presenter of some of the most interesting creative music being made today. The festival was founded in 2003 by composer, Matt McBane, in his hometown of Carlsbad and has evolved in such a positive way over the past decade. “We’ve commissioned 15 pieces from some of the most interesting young composers from around the world, including many for our Founding Ensemble-in-Residence, the Calder Quartet. We’ve presented the West Coast premieres of several important pieces, and the West Coast debuts of many young ensembles and
composers who have gone on to wider acclaim. We were awarded the Chamber Music America/ ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. And we’ve been praised in the press with the LA Times calling the festival “magnificently enlightening,” the Union-Tribune calling it “phenomenal” and KPBS calling it “one of the area’s most innovative music showcases,” shared Linnea Searle, Marketing and Development Manager for the festival. It takes a lot of resources to put on the festival each year, including the performance and transportation fees for musicians who travel to perform, commissioning fees for new works, three year-round part time staff members, and the production expenses in mounting the festival including production staff, and venue and instrument rentals. Organizers are asking for
assistance and donations to make the festival a true community event. Pledging to their campaign will ensure that the festival will continue to bring amazing, adventurous music to Carlsbad, with many free performances in addition to paid concerts including the Village Music Walks, concerts in Magee Park, and educational outreach events in the Carlsbad schools. Keeping these events free and open to all is not possible without the generous support of community members. All donations are tax-deductible. To learn more, visit www.carlsbadmusicfestival.org. ¢

Will Rising Interest Rates Hurt the Market? by SCOTT VOAK
A
t the time of this writing, interest rates have been increasing significantly for four weeks. Rates are up over ½ a point and buyers are feeling the effects of diminished purchasing power. At today’s interest rates, an increase of one percent in mortgage rates lowers the purchasing power of a buyer by 10% (assuming they are putting down 20%). So, a buyer who could put $100k down and qualify for a loan of $400k can only qualify for a loan of $360k if rates go up a single point. In many cases, this is causing buyers to step back. Despite the fact that rates are still at historical lows, the recent rate increases have put buyers in a position where they need to lower their expectations; something that is not easy to do when purchasing a home for your family. On the other side of the transaction, I don’t think sellers in the San Diego area are going to get hurt by the rising rates – at least not yet. There is too much pent up demand. The rising interest rates are slowing some buyers down, but for the most part that just means fewer offers and not necessarily reduced prices. However, if rates continue to climb we can expect the market to eventually slow down. Rising rates do provide a headwind to the market, but the market is just too strong right now for them to cause a noticeable slow down. One thing to keep in mind as you try and decide how long the market will keep rising is that there are thousands of homeowners with subsidized under-market rates who won’t be selling anytime soon as their mortgage payment is now much lower than they could rent a similarly priced home. This means that those homes are essentially “off the market” and will not be offered for sale. This restricts, and will continue to restrict, the number of homes available for sale and keep supporting prices. ¢

anking in the world’s top five longest running triathlons, the Carlsbad Triathlon lured athletes of all abilities again this year. Almost 1,000 athletes between the ages of 14 and 90 participated in the 32nd annual event on July 17. The sprint distance race began at Tamarack Surf Beach with a 1K open-water swim. A 25K bike course followed the swim with the race finishing off with a 5K run along the Pacific coastline. Participants enjoyed the scenic beaches, lagoons and wildlife preserves while they wove through the course. The event also featured attractions and demonstrations, such as a fun zone, unique relays, belly dancing, Zumba, health seminars and more. Carlsbad resident and recent 92011 Magazine “Faces in the Crowd” feature, Michellie Jones (43) took first place in the women’s division for the second year in a row, completing the race in slightly over an hour and 15 minutes. The annual, highly anticipated family event suited first-timers and elite athletes alike. ¢
