Heading Back Home photo by DAWS PHOTOGRAPHY
I
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.

Jenna is one of four on L2D’s junior dance team, and the youngest of six on the teen dance team. Jenna scored well at all regional competitions, taking first place in her solo events for both lyrical and acrobatic categories for her age group. Jenna has been a member of L2D since 2010, and has been dancing at Love to Dance, Inc. since she was six-years-old, studying various genres of dance, including ballet, tap, hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, and contemporary.

At Adrenaline, Jenna earned a place on the Adrenaline Dance Crew, an honor bestowed upon exceptional dancers. Competing against at least 50 others in the junior division, Jenna was one of the final seven selected to be named as a part of the Los Angeles Adrenaline Dance Crew for 2013, earning her a spot to perform in the “Best of Show” finale. Additionally, Jenna received a scholarship award for next year’s Adrenaline regional convention and competition, including an invitation to tour with the dance crew around the U.S. Finishing off the 2013 dance season, Jenna was invited to return to Middlebury, CT for the Russian American Foundation Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive, implemented in partnership with the renowned Bolshoi Ballet Academy (BBA) of Moscow. This is the second year Jenna has attended the summer intensive program and because of such intensive training under the direction of master teachers from BBA, Jenna has greatly improved her skills in flexibility and the art of ballet.

Close Ties Chris and Pat Weil Live, Work and Play in the Local Community by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
C
hris and Pat Weil count themselves lucky – the things that are closest to their hearts are also close to home. They live in Del Mar, the Christopher Weil Company (CWC), a firm that manages equity and debt portfolios, is located in Carmel Valley and they are involved in many local organizations that give back to the community. For them, however, nothing beats having their kids and grandkids nearby. “Our three grown children all live in the Del Mar/Carmel Valley area. We’ve logged innumerable hours at rec centers, parks and elementary schools in the area as we cheer on our five grandchildren all of whom play in the Sharks soccer rec league,” stated Chris proudly. He and Pat are also thrilled that their children work for CWC making it truly a family-run business. In fact, their son-in-law John Wells is the president and CEO of CWC. The Weils are also dedicated community volunteers, supporting many local organizations and causes. Chris is the director of the San Diego Mainly Mozart Festival, the Patricia & Christopher Weil Family Foundation, and is a trustee of the UCSD Foundation. Pat is director and president of the board of the Patricia & Christopher Weil Family Foundation and is a member of Name: Community: Profession: Education:
the board of The Preuss School UCSD. Chris and Pat formed The Patricia & Christopher Weil Family Foundation in 1998 with the mission to create educational opportunities by providing resources, time and support to children and families in underserved communities of San Diego. “Perhaps the one thing we pour our hearts into more than any other part of the organization is the scholarship program,” revealed Chris. Over the past 10 years, the Patricia & Christopher Weil Family Foundation has helped 130 students achieve their dream of receiving a college education. Though Chris and Pat lead very busy lives, they manage to take time out for some fun and relaxation. Chris enjoys walking, hiking, classical music and reading. In addition, he’s a World War I history buff. Pat is a yoga enthusiast who loves cooking and entertaining. Chris and Pat also love traveling together and have had many adventures over the years. “We’ve road tripped in Canada, attended cooking school in Paris and toured the WWI battlefields in Belgium,” related Chris. It is safe to say that no matter how far from home Chris and Pat may travel, their hearts are always in 92130.

Kaiser Permanente and DMSEF Team Up to Support Del Mar Schools
K
by AMY LEHRER
aiser Permanente, recognized as a leading American health care provider, is the title sponsor for the Jan. 25 Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run fundraiser. The money raised will help the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation provide funding for art, music, technology, science and P.E. at all eight Del Mar Unified schools. The USA Track and Field sanctioned course begins at Carmel Del Mar Elementary School, heads south on Carmel Creek Road, passes the Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley medical offices, follows a rolling hill tree-lined paved and dirt bike trail, loops back to Carmel Creek Road, and finishes at the elementary school. In addition to the 5K run, a one-mile non-competitive Fun Run is available for kids and their parents. Katie Wilsey, director and founder of the race, suggested, “This is a race for everyone – from fast, elite runners to beginner runners participating in their first race.” Additionally, Wilsey volunteered, “Because Kaiser has been such an avid supporter of health and fitness in the San Diego community, we are excited to welcome them to Carmel Valley and partner with them.” To satisfy everyone, the race will be followed by a family friendly after-party, an award ceremony, live music, jumpies, food, entertainment,
and expo booths from local businesses. Public Affairs Director Rodger Dougherty clarified that Kaiser Permanente had multiple reasons for becoming the title sponsor of the upcoming race. First, Kaiser’s mission is to provide high-quality, affordable health care services while improving the overall health of its members and the community it serves. Dougherty explained, “We look at events like this one because they are focused on reinforcing the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle.” Second, education fosters a healthy community, and since the upcoming race supports education, it aligns with another of Kaiser’s goals. Third, the race runs directly in front of Kaiser’s newest Carmel Valley facility. And fourth, last year this race attracted over 1,500 spectators, volunteers and participants and raised $38,000. “We want to be on the ground floor of what we think will become a coveted event in the community that will draw people from all over San Diego,” disclosed Dougherty. Supporting events like the Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run provides Dougherty pleasure because he gets to meet people and observe their interactions with family, friends and neighbors in a healthy, active way while they support their community and a solid educational cause. ¢

t is no wonder that Brian Maienschein, Assemblyman for the 77th District, is dedicated to making San Diego an even better place to live – his roots in the community run deep. He moved to Poway when he was seven years old and attended Chaparral Elementary School, Twin Peaks Middle School and Poway High School. “San Diego has so much to offer – beautiful weather, gorgeous beaches, so many different things to do on a daily basis and great people. There is nowhere else I’d rather live,” stated Maienschein, whose daughters currently attend school in the Poway Unified School District. Maienschein received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and then returned to San Diego to earn his law degree from California Western School of Law. In 2000, Maienschein was elected to the San Diego City Council. He became known to many in the district for his quick response to the Cedar and Witch Creek wildfires that swept through the community during his tenure. 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.

acob Montes has been golfing since he was four years old. Now 15, Jacob lives in the perfect locale for an aspiring golf pro, on Palacio Golf Course in 92130. Jacob, parents Frank and Tonya and younger sister Ashley enjoy all that their golf community by the sea has to offer by playing golf at The Santaluz Club and going to the beach regularly. Over the summer Jacob participated in the Callaway Jr. World Golf Championships with 1,200 other youths and had a great experience. “I had the privilege to play and compete with some of the best Jr. Golfers in the world,” Jacob said. Now back in school at Cathedral Catholic High School, Jacob is enjoying his favorite subject, English. And it’s a good

thing that is what he enjoys most about his courses, because not only is he a golf pro in the making, he also loves to write and play football. But, if you ask Jacob what is the most important thing to him between football, golf and academics, the answer will always be his studies. “Homework comes first,” shared Jacob. Jacob enjoys volunteering his time to help his dad with the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr. pee wee team. His future plans are to follow in the footsteps of current golf pros and make the sport his profession. “As an adult I want to become a pro golfer and own my own business. I want to help those less fortunate by giving my time and talents,” explained Jacob. As Jacob glides through his freshman year at Cathedral, volunteers with the pee wee team, aces his English courses and continues his advancement in the world of golf, everyone will have to keep an eye on him to see just where he goes. He has been known to spend time learning the ropes at his father’s financial agency, so Jacobs’s future career is limitless. Although we will all be watching his golf career, he just may end up to be one of the world’s financial wizards. The sky is the limit Jacob. Keep on reaching.

I have continued the tradition with my children and they say it is their very favorite cake.

What is it really going to take for young people to be successful in the 21st century? Easy! Our children MUST be courageous, creative innovators leading every cell in their body to move with confidence, grace and ease. Supporting our children to achieve their personal best is community teamwork in action, between student, 2006 parent and teacher. Together, we can inspire our children to awaken to their unlimited potential. Audrey Angela Amoroso, Executive Director, for the Scripps Performing Arts Academy for over 25 years has been a witness everyday to the value of balance for students and their families. Scripps Performing Arts is more than a ballet school that includes a variety of genre’s from jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, Baby and Me, and musical theatre; it offers a nurturing, non-competitive environment that encourages each student to become the best that they can be without compromising their technical and artistic training. Utilizing leading edge science with ancient wisdom, Scripps Performing Arts strives to provide a foundation for emotional intelligence that promotes mental focus 2013 and core strength. So if you are looking for a way to launch your child’s excellence consider this… Biologically, Mentally and Emotionally- it’s All a Dance! The new science shows us that 5% is related to genetics, everything else is influenced by neuroplasticity. The more we think, the more we become, the more we become the more we think. Environment matters! Balancing the right and left hemispheres of the brain, referred to as a “whole brain state” is an optimal environment for inspired learning. Up until now society Skylar 2009 has been conditioned into stressing students of all ages with tremendous worry, gauging their intelligence and future security based on test scores and unhealthy competition. Taxing young peoples sympathetic nervous systems is a recipe for disaster. Scripps Performing Arts Academy offers a healthy foundation in ballet for all of the performing arts. Classical music integrated with the physical body found in a healthy, noncompetitive environment allows the practice of balance to shower into all aspects of the students’ life. Over the years we have seen our students achieve far beyond their dreams of being a dancer. Dance becomes a metaphor for their lives.

Do’s and Don’ts of Asset Allocation A
sset allocation is an investment strategy of diversifying your investments among different kinds of asset classes (stocks, bonds, real estate, cash, etc.). While asset allocation does not guarantee profit or protect against loss, a diversified portfolio can help improve your chances of weathering ups and downs in the market. This potentially reduces your investment portfolio volatility. Here are the do’s and don’ts of asset allocation.
DO...
DON’T...
• Rebalance annually. Pick a consistent
• Take risks you are not comfortable with. Don’t confuse personal bravado
date each year to review your portfolio. Though your risk tolerance probably won’t change often, volatile market conditions or a major life event (such as job loss or the birth of a child) may prompt you to rebalance your assets. We typically find there is little reason to reallocate more frequently, though your mid-year financial check-up is also a good time to review asset allocation. Also recognize that rebalancing may result in trading fees and realized gains or losses.
• Maintain long-term financial strategies. Balance your portfolio to
match your long-range goals, rather than trying to predict the market’s direction. Market swings can cause emotional reactions, and a consistent strategy is generally best for facing economic headwinds.
• Consider tax implications. Ask your
financial professional whether investing in tax-sheltered accounts might be right for you given your financial assets, goals and time horizons.
with appropriate portfolio risk. Investment risk tolerance should reflect your financial situation and long-term goals. You should be comfortable with potential outcomes, even if there is a market downturn. If you are not comfortable with a possible nosedive, adjust your asset allocation to decrease the risk. It’s also possible that based on your financial goals and time horizon, you’re being more financially conservative than you should be. Try to look at your portfolio objectively and asses your risk tolerance accordingly.
• Overhold investments as a diversification strategy. Sound asset
allocation requires differentiation across various classes of investments. Investing in multiple mutual funds (for example) with the same objective (i.e. aggressive growth) won’t diminish your financial risk.
• Rely entirely on asset allocation. There is no magic bullet for successful investing.
by Richard H. Fogg, CFP® Strategic asset allocation may be very useful for helping to improve investment results. However, managing it properly requires careful application, a long-term outlook, and a solid financial plan. There is never any guarantee of financial success or asset protection, and your nest egg may still be impacted by the vagaries of the financial markets. Rebalancing your portfolio can be a complex process. If you aren’t already working with a financial professional, consider it. This move will help you determine risk tolerance, financial goals, time horizons and appropriate asset allocation strategies based on the personal needs of your family. ¢

The Farrell Family Enjoys the Fruits of 92130 by liz onufer | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
A
shley Farrell fell in love twice-over while attending the University of San Diego – once for her husband Travis Farrell and second for San Diego. Ashley and Travis’ choice to settle in San Diego seemed an easy one: excellent schools, a central location and close proximity to family. “Prior to moving back to San Diego, we were living and working in Chicago, but both sets of our parents are in Southern California, and we wanted to raise our children near their grandparents,” Travis explained. Today, the Farrell family has called Torrey Hills home for close to a decade. Almost 10 years and four children later, the Farrells are active in the 92130 community. The family loves Legoland, Padres games, biking and swimming. Travis contributes by coaching the local soccer and baseball teams. A collegiate and professional athlete himself, “Coach Travis,” as he is commonly known, is passionate about coaching. When he isn’t coaching, Travis is working in the financial and real estate worlds for Farrell Financial and Flocke & Avoyer

5th Annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back
Dr. Curtis Chan is smiling with great expectations for his 5th Annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back. The Buy Back helps local children unload the Halloween candy they don’t need for a good cause. The candy is then donated to troops overseas, and children are given one dollar per pound (with a limit of five pounds). Last year the drive was a big success, collecting 3,542 pounds of candy, 271 Beanie Babies and 1,127 cards and letters for the troops. The Buy Back will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7 between 3 and 7 p.m. at Dr. Chan’s new dental office, located at 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way Suite #3, Del Mar, CA 92014. Children must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit to brush away any damage from the Halloween candy they kept. Dr. Chan encourages everyone to donate any leftover candy to receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win an iPad and other great prizes. Candy donations will be accepted all week following Halloween. For more information, call 858-481-9090 or visit www.CurtisChanDDS.com.

Megan Spector Receives Honor for Concert
Senior Yoga Pioneer Retires
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. For ticket information, contact the SAYCO offices at 858-693-3110.
Thirteen-year-old Megan Spector was recently honored as the youngest recipient of the Combined Health Agencies Volunteer of the Year Award, at a ceremony in mid-September for her work to raise funds and awareness for ALS*. Megan’s aunt, Marjie Block, has waged a four-year battle with the disease, making the cause a top priority for her to help in any way that she can. Last fall, Megan was in Mission Bay with 1,600 other walkers as part of the Greater San Diego Chapter of the ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS. It was Megan’s third time doing the ALS Walk, along with her parents and brother, Sheri, Steven and Cole Spector. But Megan didn’t stop there. Megan created and headlined a musical concert titled: Striking a Chord, a Benefit Concert to Help Beat ALS. Megan helped develop the concert program, secured other artists and event sponsors, and sold more than 450 tickets to fill the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall. Striking a Chord was a major success and, together with a silent auction and raffle, raised over $34,000 for the ALS Association. “I look forward to the day when my aunt and others with ALS will defeat this cruel disease,” said Megan. Megan will also sing the National Anthem at this year’s Walk to Defeat ALS, set for Sunday, Oct. 20 at Mission Bay Park. *Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

and uniquely qualified to manage and treat facial injuries. They are well-versed in emergency care, acute treatment, long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation and understand both the physical and emotional impact facial injuries may have on their patients. Drs. Gramins and Lin also pride themselves on the practice’s state-of-the art equipment and techniques, as well as their highly qualified surgical assistants. “The surgical staff at La Jolla Oral and Facial Surgery is experienced and certified in assisting with oral and maxillofacial surgeries,” explained Carrillo. Drs. Gramins and Lin have received extensive training in facial trauma reconstruction, orthognathic jaw surgery, treatment of maxillofacial pathology, trigeminal nerve repair, temporomandibular joint reconstruction, advanced dental implant placement, and aesthetic facial surgery. Additionally, La Jolla Oral & Facial Surgery has voluntarily had their practice accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, also known as AAAHC. This means that they have to successfully undergo a thorough onsite review of their policies and practices by expert surveyors every two years in order to obtain and keep their accreditation. This is the highest level of certification that can be obtained and stands as assurance that they practice to the upmost standards of safety and are committed to providing quality patient care.

Local Volleyball Programs Are Bringing Opportunities to Girls of All Ages photos by Soul of Photography
Volleyball
has become a year-round sport, on the indoor courts and the beach sands, and is catching
the liking of girls and boys of all ages. It’s a sport that kids are learning at a young age and can be played on a recreational, competitive and elite level. The season has begun on the high school level and the local girls participating couldn’t be more prepared. Torrey Pines High School Head Coach Brennan Dean and Canyon Crest Academy Head Coach Ariel Haas weigh in on the outlook for their teams, opportunities for girls of all ages and the physicality of the sport. Whether a girl is just starting out as early as third grade or a veteran on the court being watched by college scouts, the sport

brings camaraderie, self-esteem, athleticism and a lot of fun for all involved.
In 1895 an instructor at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) by the name of William Morgan decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball to create a game for his classes that would demand less physical contact than basketball. The “Y” took this new game around the world and introduced a uniquely American sport to many foreign lands. In 1916, the Philippines made its own contribution to volleyball by introducing an element of offense that would forever change the game. A receiving player would pass a ball in a high trajectory that would then be struck by another player. The set and spike were born. There are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. This game was first introduced to Olympic competition at the Tokyo Games of 1964. The U.S. won its first medals in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics when the men captured the gold and the women the silver. There are 30 rules of the game of volleyball.

13-Year-Old Newcomer Aaron Acosta Captivates Fans
P
ablo “Chino” Nuñez, the Grammy-winning producer, percussionist, composer, recording artist and recognized Salsa luminary, aims to attract young mainstream music fans with a fresh Latin twist on two newly released pop favorites. Nuñez, who has worked with legendary stars like Marc Anthony, Ray Barretto and Willie Colon, is betting on the crossover appeal of Carmel Valley Middle School student Aaron Acosta (13) to captivate a new generation of Latin music fans. Nuñez, whose work and credits span four decades, is banking on new young talent to do for salsa what young stars like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have done for pop and country music genres. “The time is right for Salsa music to move into the mainstream with a new face and a new energy that crosses culture and appeals to younger fans,” shared Nuñez. Acosta is known for being a talented theatre performer who resides in 92130 whose credits include acting and singing roles in the world premiere of the Broadway musical “Chaplain” when it premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2010. He was also a performer in the nationally recognized Old Globe production of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” from
46 • 92130Magazine.com • October | November 2013
2009 to 2012. Of Mexican and Irish descent, Acosta also recently completed principal photography for the feature film “Slingers” where he plays the lead role of Bradley. The film is scheduled for release this fall. Nuñez has produced and arranged two songs performed by Acosta, including a Salsa version of Betcha by Golly Wow made famous by The Stylistics (1971) and a Bachata rendition of Dream Lover made famous by heartthrob Bobby Darin in 1959. For Betcha By Golly Wow, Nuñez inserted a tropical, Salsa sound blended with a hip hop feel. For Dream Lover, Nuñez added a pop music spin to the explosive Bachata sound made popular by artists like Prince Royce. “What excites me about this project and Aaron Acosta is the breakout potential to define a new sound. I hope people are as excited about it as I have been to bring this sound and talent together,” said Nuñez. Betcha By Golly Wow and Dream Lover are available for download on iTunes and viewing on YouTube.

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!

a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” When my wife and I started looking for a playhouse for our grandchildren, we found Wooden-Wonders’ playhouses and fell in love; so much so, that we are now bringing the magic to you! We have partnered with Wooden-Wonders to be the exclusive supplier of Hobbit™ Hole Playhouses in Southern California. We are proud to offer you two versions of custom crafted Hobbit™ Holes.

Supporting Education Meet the Carmel Valley 5K Volunteer Committee by amy lehrer | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
T
hanks to a bunch of dedicated volunteers (and then some), Carmel Valley will have its second 5K race this January.
School Ambassador Kim Martini is passionate about promoting wellness via an active lifestyle. She shared, “We are confident that we will deliver an amazing race event that will be a positive experience for everyone.” Volunteer Coordinator Rachelle Fischer volunteered to get more involved in her community and meet other parents. She encouraged, “Those who have family members racing can volunteer and watch the race by volunteering on the course or at the start/finish line. Please go to www.carmelvalley5K.com and click on the volunteer tab.” School Publicity Chair Michele Lesher volunteered because Carmel Valley needed an organized run. She encourages sports teams to sign up and run together. She suggested, “If you’re interested in being an ‘insider’ at your school or club and can help us promote this event, let us know.” Race Day Fundraiser and Accountant Penny Tom is eager to raise more money this year than last year. Registration Volunteer Bill Delano emphasizes this race is an excellent opportunity to meet other runners in the community and support a worthwhile cause. Medical Team Co-Coordinator Stephen Ronco, D.C. volunteered to support his community and promote fitness. He assured, “Be confident we have taken precautions to provide a safe, fun environment.”
Post Party Co-Lead Tracy Jackel thinks this race is a great opportunity for the community to support children and schools. She suggested, “If you have a business and would like to purchase a booth, please let us know. It is great marketing for your business!” Post-Race Expo Coordinator Stacy Modugno thinks fitness is a fantastic way to bring the community together. She loves witnessing beaming race day faces that reveal pride and a sense of accomplishment. Sponsorship Coordinator Amy Gibson is volunteering again this year because she loves the committee members’ positive energy. She’s looking forward to seeing the “big check” amount for DMSEF. Race Day Organizer Jeff Polizzotto looks forward to raising funds for DMSEF schools and feeling the energy on race day. Marketing and Publicity Lead Lillian McGillivray feels this race is an exciting way to introduce health and fitness to everyone. Fun Run Lead Megan Yu designed a new course that will allow the entire family to participate, strollers and all. Awards/Auction Coordinator Mimi Extance volunteered to help schools and her community and is proud to be part of this event.
The Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run is on Jan. 25 and registration is now open. Based on hearing how things are going from the lead volunteers, this race is sure to be fun for people of all ages. Last year's success of raising over $38K for the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation had these dedicated community members lining up to volunteer their time this year. They would love to see you at the starting line. Visit www.carmelvalley5k.com to learn more.

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

Penicillin V stricks molecular model
Penicillin allergic? P
enicillin is the most commonly reported medication allergy, and is self-reported by about 5 to 10 percent of patients. However, according to Dr Kusum Sharma, Director, Allergy & Asthma Clinics at AKANE Institute of Allergy, Asthma & Sleep Medicine, most of these patients are not truly penicillin allergic. In large-scale studies of penicillin skin testing, approximately 85 to 90 percent of these individuals are found not to have positive skin tests and are able to tolerate penicillins. Nine out of ten people who believe they are allergic can take penicillin without a problem, either because they were never truly allergic or because their allergy to penicillin has resolved over time. People who have a remote history of allergic reaction to a medication may become less allergic as time passes. The good news is that recently FDA has approved Pre-Pen so allergists can now offer skin testing for penicillin. This is covered by most insurance companies. Testing usually takes about one hour to complete. The skin is pricked and injected with Pre-Pen and observed for a reaction. A positive skin reaction is an itchy, red bump that lasts about half an hour and then resolves.
A positive test indicates that the person is truly allergic and should continue to avoid penicillins. If the patient completes the skin testing without a positive reaction, a single oral dose of full strength penicillin is commonly given to confirm that the patient does not have an allergy to the medication. Dr Kusum Sharma then notifies the 9 out of 10 patients’ other treating doctors so they can remove the penicillin allergy people who believe label from their medical charts. they are allergic According to Dr Sharma, there are many advantages of removing the can take penicillin penicillin allergy label: without a problem.” • Millions of people are incorrectly ~Dr. Kusum Sharma, labeled as penicillin allergic Akane Institute for some “non-allergic adverse
“
reaction.” • Doctors can have the freedom to choose any antibiotic • Using Penicillins allows to reduce cost as co-pay for these antibiotics is usually lower. • Penicillins are still considered very effective and less toxic than most other antibiotics. • The use of narrow spectrum antibiotics like most Penicillins rather than other broad spectrum antibiotics helps prevent emergence of multi-drug resistance organisms. So as Dr. Sharma puts it, for many of us the choice is ours: To be or not to be...Penicillin allergic! ¢

Inaugural Charity Event to Benefit Local Students in Need of College Assistance
C
armel Valley resident and local high school teacher Staci Ortiz-Davis won the title of Mrs. California International 2014 in August. As California’s representative, she will champion her passion of education throughout the year, as well as expand the scholarship foundation she created last year. “My 98-year-old grandmother, Josie Pearl, died in 2011. A depression-era child, she was forced to drop out of school and work the family farm to make ends meet. For her, education was a privilege, not a right. We want to ensure students today don’t suffer the same fate,” explained Staci. Last year, the Josie Pearl Memorial Scholarship awarded $3,000 to a Torrey Pines High School student who is now attending Johnson and Wales University in Florida. This year, as Mrs. California International, Staci’s goal is to expand the scholarship statewide, raising $10,000 and awarding more than one scholarship. Supporters, sponsors and the public will join together at the upcoming Josie Pearl Memorial Scholarship Charity Event for hor d’oeuvres, wine, craft beer, live music and auction items.¢

Will There be Another Buying Frenzy in 2013? 2013
has seen a remarkable increase in homes sold in 92130 and many seller’s jumped on the bandwagon. Houses in Carmel Valley were listed and sold, in just a few days, at list price and in many cases over list price with multiple offers. We were thrilled for our clients and our selling strategies made us look brilliant. We clearly were in a seller’s market and everyone was happy. A seller’s market is where houses are in demand and inventory is low. This occurs when there are not enough homes to satisfy the number of buyers in the market. As a result, sellers increase their asking prices and the buyers are willing to pay more due to limited options. However, in the last few weeks we’ve seen a market shift – a shift towards the buyer’s market. Homes are currently staying on the market (MLS) for a longer period of time. Why? There were a larger number of homes available after the spring and summer buying blitz. Also, buyers are becoming more selective and want to ensure that the properties they are buying are worth their value and the homes are in pristine shape.
This shift has stunned many sellers having them question what happened to the multiple offers. The fall of 2013 should see sellers and buyers connecting once again. Why? Why not. If a seller is willing to sell and a buyer is willing to buy, let’s make a deal. It’s all about supply and demand. There’s plenty of inventory (supply), and there are still plenty of buyers (demand). We should see another buying frenzy since prices have stabilized and interest rates are still low. Sellers who are eager to move and have reduced their asking price, many times over a period of months, may be more willing to accept an offer they previously would not have entertained. Sellers have earned the right to see offers – Make one! ¢
