Heading Back Home photo by DAWS PHOTOGRAPHY

often tell people about how I grew up in a small town in Texas. But the reality is that I only lived there until I was nine years old. I did move back for a couple of years when I was a young teenager, but that’s a story for a different pub note. The fact of the matter is that I’ve now lived in San Diego for more than half of my life. My family jumped around from city to city during my elementary and middle school years due to work obligations, but we eventually settled here in North County back in 1988. I am writing this note while aboard a flight heading back to my hometown outside of Houston. I will be visiting my grandmother in the hospital. For the past several months, she has been fighting the fight of her life - aggressively battling cancer. To say that my grandmother (we all know her as MawMaw) is a second mother to me would be an understatement - especially during the first nine years of my life when I lived only one block away from her. There was rarely a day that went by that I wasn’t at her house during those early years. Although my MawMaw has always been a major influence in my life (even from 1,600 miles away), she particularly impacted me while I was a kid in Texas. It’s hard to believe how vivid my memories are from that time period. Whether it was running across the field to her house when I was barely four years old or climbing up the tree in her backyard to pick plums so that she could make her famous homemade plum jelly, there was never a dull moment. She would take me fishing. We would often go crabbing on the bayou (something that I have not done since I was a kid). She even let me be her co-pilot while she watched her daytime soap operas - I knew the names of every character! We even delivered newspapers together - that’s also a story for another pub letter. I have carried many wonderful childhood memories with me dating back to my original nine years in this world. Some things seem like they happened yesterday. I often look at my own kids in fascination (ages 16, 9 and 8) and wonder what memories they will inevitably hold close to them as they grow into adulthood. Who will they

admire? Who will have influenced them? Who will they write about one day? There are very few people in this world that I respect as much as my MawMaw. Her passion for family, her ability to make you feel special, and her sincere desire to truly know and connect with people are just a few examples of the type of person that she is. Today I choose to clear my mind of all of the normal clutter. I will visit with my MawMaw. I will hug her. I will talk about childhood memories. I will remind her that I love her. I will thank her for being the beautiful person that she is. And with everything going on, one thing is for sure, she will still ask me how the kids are doing. She’ll ask me about their sports and school. She’ll ask me how things are going at the office - and she’ll genuinely anticipate the answers. That’s just the kind of person she is.

Always Believe Professional Soccer Player and Coach Jen Lalor-Nielsen Celebrates Teamwork and Success by kelley gusich | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

PROFILE INFORMATION Name: Age: Community: Profession: Family:

Jen Lalor-Nielsen 37 Rancho Bernardo Professional soccer coach Husband – Bo Nielsen (coached soccer at his home country of Denmark) Children – Elisa (8), Alec (5) (both also play soccer) Favorite Color: Pink Favorite TV Show: Dancing With the Stars

14 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2013

true love is often demonstrated by starting early and continuing a passion without coercion or obligation. Such is the story of Jen Lalor-Nielsen. Jen grew up in Chula Vista, where she started playing soccer at five years old and began playing competitively at 10. “Even when I was six or seven years old, I constantly practiced on my own,” she said. “I just loved playing.” Jen's childhood was a busy one, when travel teams based out of Los Angeles meant she had to commute four times a week. Homework in the car was an everyday part of life, but it was worth it as she ended up making the U-16 National Team at age 12. At 17, Jen made her first appearance with the U.S. Women’s National Team, went to the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) Women’s World Cup in Sweden and brought home the 1995 bronze medal. After a full scholarship to Santa Clara University, Jen traveled to play professionally overseas, then returned home and played semi-pro for the WFC (World Football Challenge) now known as the San Diego SeaLions. They won a national championship that year, which opened the door for Jen to be drafted in the second round of the Pro League. Many years of playing and winning resulted in two of her greatest victories – the birth of daughter Elisa and son Alec. While pregnant with Alec, she became head coach of the San Diego SeaLions, and has coached there for the past four years. Semi-pro is not Jen’s only passion. She’s been coaching at Poway High School for the past nine years, eight of which they’ve made the playoffs, and four CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) finals or semi-finals. Jen loves coaching at the high school level, because it’s not about recruiting players in, but about connecting with the players who are there. Although Jen’s most exciting memory as an athlete is playing for the National Team in China (she was the very first player to score a goal in a new stadium called Dragon Stadium), as a coach she cherishes winning this year’s National Championship with her San Diego SeaLions. “I have never been a part of something so powerful before,” she shared. “The connection and belief all the girls had this season was incredible and inspiring.” Jen Lalor-Nielsen practices this motto in all arenas of her life – Never say never and always believe. 

Surfing for the Soul Finding Success on the Waves and in the Classroom by michelle tremblay | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

“A

n amazing friend of my Mom's got me a scholarship from her church to attend Walking on Water Dream Surf Camp and that is when I developed my passion for surfing,” said 15-year-old Nicholas Holdman. Since that time, Nicholas has been an instrumental part of the Poway High School (PHS) surf team and has received several awards in the sport. This year, Nicholas begins his sophomore year at PHS and he looks forward to continuing his search for the perfect wave, while still putting his studies first. Since he joined the PHS surf team three years ago, Nicholas’ surfing career has taken off. “This summer I went to Nationals with the National Scholastic Surfing Association and came in fourth place for the season in my division,” shared Nicholas. “I also won the first ever Rusty Del Mar Surf Classic and came in third place at the Rob Machado Switchfoot Bro-Am this summer.” Next summer, Nicholas has plans to go on a surf misson in Nicaragua with the Christian organization, Beautiful Feet.

Surfing isn’t the only area in which Nicholas excels; he is also an outstanding student. “I have received an academic award for being a great example to my peers my freshman year and was second place for student of the year with my Avid class,” he shared. Last school year, Nicholas maintained a solid 4.0 grade point average, a feat he credits to his teachers. “My teachers at PHS my freshman year were so awesome. I will never in my life forget Mr. Torretto and his crazy fun enthusiasm, Mr. Swan introduced me to so many outstanding films and Mrs. Locke for being so supportive and helping me work toward a plan to achieve straight A's.” he explained. Aside from his teachers, Nicholas draws inspiration from his surfing idols like Kelly Slater and from his “big Italian family.” “My parents, Renee and Craig, are there for me every step of the way in school and in sports,” noted Nicholas. “I also have an amazing support system with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins.” As an adult, Nicholas would like to pursue a career in marine biology and to continue his involvement in surfing. “I want to have a family someday and travel the world in search of the perfect swell,” he added, “but in the meantime, you can catch me surfing the awesome waves God created at our local breaks.” 

“My parents, Renee and Craig, are there for me every step of the way in school and in sports.”

about the chef Name of Chef: Julie Flatt Age: 44 Family Members: Husband – Brent; Son – Nolan (14); Daughter – Tatum (11) Community of Residence: Poway Hobbies/Interests: Cooking, baking, hiking, traveling, waterskiing and entertaining Favorite Local Activity: Hiking with friends or family at Lake Poway to summer concerts with a picnic About the Recipe: When the weather cools off for fall, I can’t wait to start making soup. Italian food is a mainstay in my family’s house. It is what I grew up eating and loving to learn how to cook from my mom, aunts and Nonnie. A cooking class in Tuscany furthered my appreciation of Italian food. My family and friends love this soup. It is great to serve to guests, cook for a friend in need or just throw together on our busy soccer practice nights. About the Chef: We moved to Poway 17 years ago and it has been a wonderful place to raise a family. My cousin convinced us Poway was the place to be in San Diego, especially for the excellent schools. We are so glad we listened to him. Our kids continue to thrive in the Poway schools and enjoy many sport teams and activities year round. I work part-time as a dental hygienist and see many friends from the community at the office. We love to travel, experience new adventures and eat amazing food all over the world. We are barely home from one trip and the next one is being planned. ¢

After his second term on the City Council, Maienschein became San Diego’s first Commissioner on Homelessness, a position he held for four years. According to Maienschein, he has always felt strongly about serving his community and giving back to his hometown. “To be able to represent my classmates, neighbors and friends is an honor that I never take for granted,” revealed Maienschein. Now that he is halfway through his first term as an assemblyman, Maienschein is even more committed to ensuring that issues such as community safety, education and economic growth are at the forefront of state politics. “I work hard to focus on the issues that are important to my constituents, as well on common ground issues that that can improve the lives of all Californians,” said Maienschein. He is particularly pleased that his legislation allowing background checks for coaches of youth sports leagues has passed. Maienschein is also passionate about creating and passing meaningful legislation that makes a significant impact on issues such as mental health and homelessness. Although Maienschein is proud of his professional achievements, he feels that his daughters, Taylin and Brenna, are his most rewarding accomplishments.

Community Pillars in the

The Harris Family Combines Their Passion for Business With Their Desire to Help Others by michelle tremblay | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

typical day for the Harris family usually revolves around a good meal. Not only do they love to eat, but they are owners of Dream Dinners Poway, company that prepares nutritious dinners for busy people looking to eliminate the stress of meal planning. But the Harris’ passion for helping people extends beyond just their business. They also founded Friends and Family Community Connection (FFCC), a nonprofit organization that focuses on giving back to those in need. The Harris’ start in San Diego began when Phil – who was working at Ford Aerospace in Palo Alto at the time – received a job offer to work down south at General Dynamics. Settling on Poway as a place to live was an easy decision for the family. “Coming here after growing up in San Jose, it feels like a small town community, very family-oriented with beautiful oak trees right out my kitchen window,”

Emerging Nutraceuticals

Poway High School graduate Preston Duberville’s family has been plagued with gluten intolerance for years. While Preston himself carries a gene marker that puts him at high risk for developing a gluten sensitivity disease in the future, his mother and sister both have suffered Celiac disease for some time. Despite remaining faithful to a strict gluten-free diet, Preston’s family members still consistently struggled with health challenges. Unfortunately, no single product then existed that fulfilled their needs. Now attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, 20-year-old Preston found his calling in starting up his own nutraceuticals brand. Emerging Nutraceuticals was born, a company that Preston declared is “committed to seeking out unique dietary scenarios where no quality nutritional supplements are currently offered and then creating formulas using the latest scientific research, as well as the most natural bio-available ingredients derived from reliable and trusted sources.” Preston’s ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for health-conscious individuals with dietary restrictions. Today, Emerging Nutraceuticals continues its innovative research to find dietary solutions for people with all kinds of nutritional deficiencies.

Frank Iszak, founder of Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach (SAYCO), recently retired as executive director of the 10-year-old organization on Aug. 15. In 2003, Frank and his wife Serpil gave their first free yoga class to low-income seniors at the Mira Mesa Senior Center in San Diego. Frank, who emigrated to the United States in 1957 as a political refugee from Hungary, considers SAYCO “his payment of debt to America, for the privilege of becoming part of this great society.” Now 82, he has decided to dedicate his time to a movie currently in production about his escape from Hungary and life in America. Amy Roost will take over Frank’s directorship at SAYCO. “While I’ve only know Frank Iszak a few short months, he already inspires me. I am honored to carry out his legacy of empowering seniors to live strong, healthy and independent lives. I look forward to expanding our offering of free yoga to more seniors throughout the region and eventually nationwide,” shared Amy. Frank and Serpil will be honored at an Oct. 10 celebration at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. The event is open to the public.

Poway Rotary Leads the Way for the Annual Event to March On!

oway Days Parade and 5K held in early September was a big success. Who would have guessed, since the Poway Rotary took the challenge to host the events with only 60 days to plan and $5,000 from Walmart. Sure enough, Poway Road was lined with Powegians. There were 110 parade floats including five high school marching bands, City officials, local businesses and service groups, scouts and more. To start off the day, there were 100 participants who ran in the inaugural 5K Fun Run with Councilman Jim Cunningham leading the way. Local photographer Sherri Cortez volunteered her time – even while marching in the parade herself – to capture the excitement of the day. Parade and 5K Chair Pauline Getz put together an amazing team that exceeded the fund-raising goal and led to a festive day of community fun in 92064. ¢

KirE Builders, Inc. Builds Innovative Homes with Long-Lasting Value

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

hen we entrust others to build our home, we naturally expect state-of-theart elements, solid craftsmanship and professionalism. But wouldn’t it be nice if we could also expect the builders to put their hearts into the process? KirE Builders, Inc., a construction company founded by Josh Santa and Adam Hutchinson, was, in fact, named on the principle of heartfelt commitment. The unique spelling of the company name, KirE (rhymes with “fire”), is actually the name “Erik” spelled backwards. This pays tribute to the son of Ken Baumgartner, one of KirE’s founding business partners, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident at age 21. To honor Erik’s legacy, the KirE team devotedly puts its heart into every construction job. “A home is one of the last hand-built projects left in the world and we are proud of the homes we build and the neighborhoods in which we build. We strive to create long-lasting value,” proclaimed Adam. That value is a result of experience. Josh has been a residential homebuilder for over 20 years, and is adept at estimating, drafting, designing, permit processing and contracting. Adam, originally from the East Coast, teamed up with Josh in 2010 and handles operations and project management, sales and marketing, financial analysis and acquisitions. Adam declared, “Homeowners can rest easy knowing their home is being built by experienced craftsmen using quality and durable materials. We are continuously designing and creating new floor plans and SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

home elements to adhere to consumers’ needs and the latest technologies.” One of the latest technologies KirE has embraced is the usage of HomeTeam Pest Defense in its new home construction. A borate-based termiticide is safely applied on the structural frame to keep termites out, and the Taexx Built-In Pest Control System is also installed. This is a network of small tubing throughout designated walls that allow pest control treatments to be applied directly where pests live and hide. Another KirE innovation is to produce energy-efficient homes. The company’s new development, Black Canyon Estates in Ramona, is a complete solar community where every home features a 3.0 kilowatt solar system. Adam professed, “We have the drive and ability to give someone their dream home, whether it’s a home at one of our developments, a remodel of an existing home or a new custom home.” So open up your heart to the possibility, and let KirE Builders concoct your perfect home. ¢

field hockey season is underway and the girls team at Poway High

School (PHS) is eager to have a great run this year. Varsity Coach Scott Bartel and Assistant/Junior Varsity Coach Becky Williams bring valued experience to the team and are looking forward to helping the girls have a fun team experience with a goal to get passed the second round of CIF finals. Overall initial impressions of team strength looks good as they move from off-season conditioning to in-season preparations. The support of the community and parents is to be applauded as it will allow for the girls to be strong in their league while having a memorable time together. The sport that hails from England in the 19th century has really taken off in the region on high school, club and recreational levels. There are opportunities all over for girls interested in learning more about the fast-paced, high-intensity sport. With a stick, a ball and required safety gear, participants will build camaraderie and athleticism all while having a great time.

:::: Cover Feature Can you provide an outlook for the PHS girls field hockey team this year? I am looking forward to this season. The players really want to play, and they are just as excited as I am for the season. I think we will

have a really good year. There is going to be a steep learning curve for all of us at the start of the year, and I think the players will make the most out of every opportunity we [coaches] give them.

What is the number one goal the girls have this year? To have fun and finish past the second round of CIF finals.

What is the most rewarding aspect about coaching? The most challenging? Watching the players exceed their expectations. It is great when they see just how far they have come and how far they can

go. This is also the most challenging aspect as the coaches

have to deliver the information in the best way for the player to

take advantage of it. Each athlete is unique and they learn and

respond differently, so we have to learn how to communicate with them individually and as a group.

What is your coaching philosophy? How do you instill that upon the girls? I create an environment that encourages players, coaches and supporters to learn and pass on knowledge of the sport.

Tell us about the support you receive from parents, volunteers and the community. We receive so much support from the parents and the

community. We are a self-funded sport and parents do a lot of the legwork in fundraising and getting out there in to the

community to gain support. The community has been great in giving to the hockey program.

If you could grant the team one wish this year, what would that be? A real hockey field instead of a grass or football field. This is sadly one thing that is really lacking here in San Diego.

Do you have any upcoming events, fundraisers or tournaments you would like to share with readers? We will have a calendar out early in the season that highlights the local businesses that help and support the program. Fundraising plans are still being worked out.

Tell us about Assistant Coach Becky and what she brings to the team. Coach Becky Williams, like myself, brings another culture’s

perspective. Coach Becky grew up in England where she played field hockey at school. We have very different systems and that

experience is invaluable. Coach Becky has been playing hockey for a long time and communicates really well with the players.

At what age is there an opportunity for a girl to begin playing field hockey? Girls can join any number of clubs around the area at around 10 to 12 years old. They learn

the game really well at these programs where they can go to camps and do sessions with some really talented coaches.

What do most girls on the team do during the off-season? A lot of the girls are multi-sport athletes and they will play softball, soccer or any other

number of sports that are played at the high

school. Over the summer we had a lot of girls doing running and conditioning for hockey.

I was really impressed with how much they wanted to be ready for the season.

What is the training regimen for field hockey players as far as conditioning, preparing, improving and succeeding at the sport? Field hockey is a high intensity sport where

athletes need to cover a lot of ground on the

field. It is also a sport that is played quite low on the ground, so we like players to practice running as they would in a game. Interval

training is good for field hockey players and should include sprinting for distance and jogging four times the sprint distance to

recover. We also like players to do a lot of

core muscle conditioning to include twisting and bending. This is really important.

Field hockey, referred to in most countries simply as hockey, is a team sport of the hockey family which is played between two teams of eleven players with hockey sticks and a hard, solid plastic ball. At the turn of the 21st century, the game is played globally, with particular popularity throughout Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South America – in addition to being the national sport of both India and Pakistan. The term “field hockey” is used primarily in Canada, the United States, and other regions of the world where the sport of

Poway Center for the Performing Arts Brings Variety of Shows from MICHAEL RENNIE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

What sets this season apart?

Music has always been a huge part of our Professional Performance Series, but I can’t recall a year with such a fantastic balance of styles. This season is a virtual survey course in American music: we’ve got blues, country, folk, gospel, jazz – even a celebration of Irish music and dance which isn’t technically an American art form, but certainly one that has flourished in the “New World.” That’s a pretty big spread of styles for a nine show season.

Foundation Performance {2013/2014} POW! Season At-A-Glance

What are you most looking forward to about the upcoming season?

Dec. 7 | 8 p.m. Go Tell It On The Mountain: The Blind Boys of Alabama

Actually, the answer may surprise you. Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan I am of live music. If I’m not seeing a show at the Poway Center, I’m at Humphrey’s or the Belly Up, the Casbah or the House of Blues.

So with such a music rich schedule, it may surprise you to hear that the show I’m most looking forward to is Love Letters. I’ve always been a fan of epic stories that span numerous decades. Love Letters spans a relationship from teens to the silver years. It’s a heart-breakingly sweet play that celebrates the power of the written word and its unique ability to convey intimacy even at great distances. And intimacy really resonates in our venue. The back wall is only 70 feet from the stage, so an up-close-and-personal play like Love Letters really has a profound impact on everyone in the space. And besides, what child of the ‘60s wouldn’t want a chance to meet Jeannie and Barney Miller (Love Letters stars Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie and Hal Linden of Barney Miller)? ¢

he school year continues to take off. On the first day of school at the assembly, the new principal had demonstrated his Titan Pride by presenting a welcoming speech to returning and new students. As the new school year begins, there are mixed feelings among students. Some are looking forward to a fresh new start, others never wanted summer to end. As for the seniors, some are already counting down to their graduation day next year. Although the students have different views regarding the beginning of school, everyone is excited about the possiblities the year holds for them. The year has just started and already the directions of the famous senior project have

The senior project is a required opportunity for students to experience the “real world.” It is an excellent chance for seniors to job shadow a career they may consider pursuing, to create an event to raise money or to spend time on a hobby. The project is a unique experience and gives students the chance to spend time following what they are most passionate about. There are many social activities during this time of the year that students have their eyes on. Morp and Homecoming are two examples of events that many of my fellow students are looking forward to.

48 • 92064Magazine.com • October | November 2013

ince the inception of Free Flight, the sanctuary has expanded into a full-fledged non-profit organization, bent on continuing the mission of its former benefactor. It has succeeded admirably, sprouting out various programs that cater to individuals of all ages. For instance, its outreach program reaches out to schools, animal shelters, senior centers and community events. As a result, Free Flight has charmed adults and entranced children. “Kids love interacting with the birds; getting the chance to feed, pet or hold an exotic bird create memories that last a lifetime,” explained Sarah Booher, a Free Flight representative. Besides the on-site activities, Free Flight provides a Junior Docent program, which teaches kids ages 12 to 18 about birds and how to volunteer. But kids are not the only volunteers – adults are also encouraged to help out by cleaning the facility, helping at fundraisers and promoting Free Flight. A visit to Free Flight merits a good look at the koi pond – stocked with slightly whiskered fish in bright shades – and the main attraction, the stunningly gorgeous birds. Besides being able to interact with these squawking residents, visitors may also learn of their colorful background. “All the birds here have their own unique and interesting story,” shared Sarah. The facility on site continuously seeks ways to keep the birds healthy and thriving in the Free Flight environment. Perhaps your visit to Free Flight will inspire you to house one of these feathery bundles of joy at home. Those who are interested in adopting a bird can fill out an application and meet the adoptable birds; upon being accessed, the applicant will be matched to a bird and hopefully, a lasting bond will be formed. However, those who are simply searching for refreshingly educational and fun adventure can be guaranteed one at Free Flight. Bring a few dollars and an open mind, and be prepared for a “flying” fascination like no other! 

Hilary Pollard Makes a Positive Impact on Our Future Generation by linda frabl | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography

ilary Pollard, a Bridlewood resident for the past 11 years and the mother of two sons, David (12) and Ryan (10), admitted, “We enjoy living in Poway with all of its open space and beautiful surroundings.” Uniting her love of her neighborhood with her love of school volunteerism, Hilary plans to make a positive impact on the future generation. “Poway is such an amazing city and my main goal is to help our schools, organizations and community,” Hilary proclaimed. She has succeeded in that goal, most notably as the advisor for the Kiwanis K-Kids service group at Painted Rock Elementary School for the past three years. The organization’s stated vision is to develop competent, capable and caring leaders through the vehicle of service. In that arena, Hilary not only oversees fundraisers but also student enrichment activities, such as visiting local senior centers and making blankets and holiday gifts for disadvantaged children. “I really enjoy Kiwanis K-Kids because it teaches elementary school-aged children the importance of helping others in our community,” Hilary emphasized. In addition to her Kiwanis commitments, Hilary is also a room parent, the PTA membership chairman and she assists with the “Foundation Time with Teacher” fundraiser. Plus, she is the soccer team manager for her son Ryan. She added, “Now that my son David is going to Meadowbrook Academy, I am looking forward to getting involved in volunteer opportunities there too.” Having formerly worked as an elementary school teacher and a human resources professional, Hilary is now a proud stay-at-home mother. “My full-time job is being a mom to my two awesome boys!” Hilary exclaimed. Her sons are currently busy with soccer and basketball, and both are also Kiwanis K-Kids members (naturally). In her free time, Hilary loves keeping herself fit through kickboxing, pilates and cardio dance. She also enjoys hiking, skiing, biking and traveling with her boys and Tom, her husband of 22 years. For the time being, Hilary remains devotedly committed to lending a hand towards her sons’ learning experiences. “I enjoy volunteering at the schools because it allows me to spend time with my kids while helping the outstanding education system here in the Poway Unified School District,” revealed Hilary.  Name: Age: Community: Volunteer Affiliations:

f your only exposure to marching bands is a high school football game, then you owe it to yourself to experience the 36th Annual Mt. Carmel Tournament of Bands. Over 30 bands from all over Southern California come to compete in a real ‘Battle of the Bands’ showdown. Paseo Montalbon will be the site of the parade competition, which begins at noon on Oct. 26 and is free to the public. Several of the bands competing in the parade competition have been seen marching in the Rose Parade in years past. The Field Competition runs all day in the Mt. Carmel High School stadium, starting at 8 a.m. with the largest band competing in the evening. High schools that have already signed up to compete this year include: Arcadia (over 400 band members), Carlsbad, El Camino Real, Escondido, La Costa Canyon, Otay Mesa, Ramona, Temecula Valley, Torrey Pines, all of the Poway Unified

School District high schools, and many more. The bands perform intricate marching in full regalia while playing amazing music in what has become the biggest band tournament in San Diego. Color guards perform with the bands and add to the pageantry with flags, swords, rifles and special effects. Awards are given in many categories to include music, parade, auxiliary and more. Mt. Carmel’s Tournament of Bands is so highly regarded that the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association has chosen them to host the Marching Band Finals competition on Nov. 23.

Replacing an Old Air Conditioning System Can Save Energy and Cut Long-Term Costs For Homeowners by JENNIFER FRAKES

JPM Heating and Air At-A-Glance

ost homeowners will admit that even though the weather in San Diego is relatively mild year-round, their air conditioning systems definitely get a workout in the hotter summer months. According to Jason Purgason of JPM Heating & Air, Inc., air conditioning systems last for only about 18 to 20 years before needing to be replaced. And even if the system isn’t that old, homeowners who notice their air conditioning systems are not operating at the same level at the end of summer as they were in June may also want to consult with a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) professional. “Typically, a simple diagnostic of a unit’s age and condition will give insight into whether or not a system needs to be replaced,” explained Purgason. Although replacing an air conditioning system may seem more costly than simply repairing an older unit, oftentimes newer systems are more cost and energy efficient, leading to greater savings in the longterm. “Newer systems can have less impact on the environment and on the homeowner’s budget. Replacing a faulty unit cannot only improve the efficiency of your heating or cooling unit, but also reduce the day-to-day costs of running one,” stated Purgason. Newer units tend to be more

accurate and user-friendly, enabling homeowners to customize settings for optimum energy and cost savings. In addition, homeowners who purchase high efficiency units may receive tax benefits for reducing their carbon footprint. Before deciding to replace an air conditioning system, it is important to work with an HVAC professional to determine what system will work best in the home. “When replacing a system, the size of the home, usage style, geographic location and the insulation capability of your home are all things to be considered,” said Purgason. In other words, the new system must be compatible with the needs of the individual homeowner and accommodate the living space where it will be used. Most HVAC companies will remove old units when replacing it with a new one. The old units are typically taken to a recycling center for scrap metal and parts. And regardless of whether a homeowner decides to install a new air conditioning system or stick with their old one, changing the filter is essential. Purgason recommends performing this easy, doit-yourself task up to four times per year for older systems and at least twice per year for newer systems. 

The #1 Question to Ask an Agent When Selling Your Home

“How Will You Attract Buyers to View My Home Online?”

oughly 90% of home buyers use or extensively use online sources when shopping for a home (National Association of Realtors®). If your home isn’t getting views online, the best buyer for your home may never even know your home is for sale. At a minimum, an agent should tell you what their individual (not company or branch) spends for online marketing, if your home will be included in paid online advertising, and most importantly how many online views are expected. Do you think all agents and companies are the same with online marketing? I recently represented a client in the purchase of their new home in San Diego. After minimal results on the sale of their out-of-area home they asked their well-respected selling agent if I could take over the online marketing. On June 13, 2013 I took over and the daily online views increased by 500% using the same exact online sources. Hopefully such drastic differences will encourage you to remember to ask your agent the #1 question: How will you attract buyers to view my home online? ¢
