SET IN STONE A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
It seems like it was just yesterday when Zach Cordner, Louie Hayward, and I were gathered around a table discussing the possibility of starting The Osider Magazine. We knew Oceanside needed a positive outlet, but how would it be received? Would people embrace it? Would advertising partners get involved? Would people enjoy reading about our community, Oceanside’s history, and the people who help our city to grow and thrive? There’d only be one way to find out. So, we put ourselves out there,
8 THEOSIDER.COM
and now we are happy to say that this very issue celebrates two years of making magazines for the people of our beloved Oceanside. We’re so thankful for all of your support and we love what we do. Rest assured that we’re still growing into our voice, and we plan to continue on our quest to share all of the magical places, people, and things that our city has to offer. To everyone who’s written articles, shot photos, and submitted story ideas over the past two years—we thank you. We’d especially like to
thank you, the readers, for waving the flag and investing your energy into picking up the mag every issue. Our staff is very fortunate to have your support and will continue to make the best magazine we can every issue. Truly blessed.

HEALTHY O
10 TIPS FOR SUN PROTECTION PRESENTED BY TRI-CITY MEDICAL CENTER 1. Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from tanning beds can cause skin cancer and premature skin aging. 2. Avoid direct exposure to the sun between 10am and 2pm, which is when the sun’s rays are strongest. 3. Use a minimum of SPF 30 for the best protection and reapply every two hours for best results; especially when doing outdoor sports, or activities that induce perspiration. 4. When using sunscreen in the water, apply water-resistant sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30. Apply fifteen minutes before entering water and reapply every 60 minutes for best results. 5. Always check the sunscreen expiration date. If it has no date, most products have a threeyear shelf life (unless it’s been exposed to extreme heat). 6. Wear sunglasses that offer 100-percent UV protection for your eyes. 7. Find shade throughout the day to give your skin a break from direct exposure. 8. Cover exposed areas with loose clothing and wear a wide brimmed hat to protect your face and scalp. 9. Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand, as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn. 10. Check your skin monthly for any changes or new growths and report these findings to your dermatologist.

Oceanside’s
JUAN HERNANDEZ
WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER
Sometimes Oceanside’s most valuable community members are unassuming, humble, quality people doing what they believe is the right thing. Juan Hernandez is that person— upon receiving the news that he was chosen as one of Oceanside’s Finest, Juan simply said, “I’m honored, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the kids.” Juan Hernandez is the current President of Oceanside Swim Club. He has a deep involvement and love for Oceanside and its youth. Juan was born in Oceanside but moved away at six years old. After attending college at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, Juan met his wife, Celia, and happily returned to Oceanside where his extended family lives, raising two kids, and planting roots by getting involved with their hometown. Their son, Kaleo, was the catalyst to Juan’s involvement with Oceanside Swim Club. For five years, the Hernandez family has dedicated a good portion of their time attending practices, swim meets, volunteering at swim events, and now, serving on the board.
Founded in the 1950s, the Oceanside Swim Club (OSC) is a non-profit organization with approximately 50 to 80 swimmers from the ages of five to eighteen-years old. OSC meets at Brooks Street Pool year-round on weeknights. OSC not only strives to create strong swimmers, but well-rounded citizens as well. Every OSC swimmer must complete volunteer hours and is actively involved in
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the kids.” the community to obtain those hours. Parents like Juan are heavily involved in community events through volunteer work. Kids interested in joining OSC can attend sessions free for one week. One of Juan’s major undertakings is to spearhead this year’s 87th Annual Labor Day Pier Swim; a staple Oceanside event with approximately 500 swimmers participating. It’s
the biggest fundraiser for OSC, and it raised $18,000 in 2015. The majority of the profits go towards scholarships for OSC swimmers. Kids that qualify for scholarships are able to swim and compete at subsidized prices. The pier swim is held every Labor Day morning and is one-mile out and around the pier. As current OSC President, Juan is actively involved in lobbying the City of Oceanside to build El Corazon Aquatics Center. If built, the new aquatics center would benefit local youth by allowing OSC, high school swim teams, and other Oceanside competitive swim teams to practice and host swim competitions at the facility. With a very large extended family unit in Oceanside, most of his free time is spent visiting family. Juan and his family not only contribute to making Oceanside a great community, they also enjoy all that Oceanside offers—especially, all the amazing outdoor activities and our pristine local beaches.

DARKSIDE FITNESS WORDS: ALICIA STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
Owner, Dre Dee
22 THEOSIDER.COM
If there’s one thing the owner of Darkside Fitness—Andrea D (or Dre Dee as she is commonly called)—would like the community to know is that there’s a finite difference between “pole-dancing” for fitness and the nude dancing with which it commonly shares a stigma. In fact, her business holds a strict “no nudity” policy. Dre Dee opened her studio ten months ago after taking on huge renovations, which became a personal labor of love—as well as her biggest challenge. Her goal was have a space to combine many types of fitness and provide classes that are fun, sexy, and increase functional strength—all while encouraging overall body confidence. Dre Dee has a ten-year background in occupational therapy, a career she still does full-time. “I did a lot of dancing as a child and was looking for a way to get back into dance as an adult. I tried my first pole-dancing class because I thought it would be funny, but immediately fell in love with it’s artistic yet physically challenging nature. I started performing and then began teaching, ” stated Dre Dee. “I have a Master’s Degree in Health Sciences—I’m also a yoga instructor, certified personal trainer, and group fitness instructor. My experience allows me to incorporate exercises and techniques that help condition the whole body and prevent injuries, as well as educate my clients about safety.” Darkside prides itself as a “co-ed” community, sharing a passion for something they love. Currently, the studio offers a diverse schedule, including pole fitness, pole and
exotic dance, choreography in heels, burlesque, private personal training, and boot camps. They hold workshops including AcroYoga, “twerking,” and chair dance. They also host fun and unique events including art shows, clothing exchanges, as well as performance showcases every four months. The next show’s theme is Top Gun and is scheduled for May 21st. Another cool aspect of Dre Dee’s business is her private “pole parties” for bachelorette and birthday celebrations. All classes and private parties can be booked through her website, which clients are encouraged to look at regarding questions such as “what to wear to class,” and to review all studio policies. Originally from Illinois and Georgia, Dre Dee has lived all around the country but chose Oceanside as her location as she discovered pole fitness to still be relatively new to the San Diego area. “I love the vibe of Oceanside, and have found the locals to be down to earth and friendly. I also really wanted to reach out to the military community and provide a space for military spouses to meet, have fun, and socialize with others. I think Oceanside is a gorgeous city with history and character,” she said. “I’m also really excited to witness the growth process and be a part of creating positive changes that build up this community.”

PURA VIDA SPA WORDS: ALONDRA FIGUEROA PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER Those who have travelled to Costa Rica will recognize the phrase “Pura Vida,” widely known as the Costa Rican motto. While the direct English translation is “Pure Life,” it’s used in many ways such as hello, goodbye, and no worries. To native Costa Rican, Alexandra Azofeifa, “Pura Vida” means being grateful for what you have and not dwelling on the negative. Alex has faced obstacles, but she’s persevered, not giving up until her goal is reached. She came to the US in 2004 with her two young daughters and speaking no English, her path was uncertain, but she charged ahead. When her family moved to Oceanside, she pursued her childhood dream of becoming a nurse, but with limited English, she was unable to finish the coursework. Alex found the solution by attending Mira Costa’s Adult Education English Second Language program and became a medical assistant. Working in the medical field, she met patients often being seen due to stress related ailments: headaches, pain throughout their bodies, etc. She saw symptoms being treated with painkillers that came with side effects and didn’t get to the root of their problems. Alex wanted to help people and realized that her calling was to facilitate their leading healthier lives, relieving stress, and preventing pain. Alex went back to Mira Costa to get her massage therapist license and has never looked back! Achieving another dream, Alex recently opened Pura Vida Spa on Wisconsin Street and while the space is small, it’s beautifully done. The posh, yet relaxed vibe is felt immediately when greeted warmly by Alex and offered a coffee, tea, or wine. Their goal is for the client to be relaxed, indulged, and completely satisfied with all the amenities. You can browse featured local jewelry, organic lotions, candles, and their magical scrub that’s made in-house using sugar cane. Pura Vida’s licensed nail technician, Janet Salazar, provides natural nail services. Bonus that she speaks English and Spanish! She doesn’t do artificial nail work, but high quality CND shellac is proudly featured. The Pier Spa manicure was great. Janet is gentle with cuticles and filing. If you have the time try the Oceanside

Beach Stone pedicure, it’s worth every penny! Janet uses a special metal foot file that smoothes all rough spots. The exfoliating sugar scrub followed by massage using hot stones from our own Oceanside beaches takes it all to another level. The 60-minute deep tissue massage was a complete body relaxation experience from head to toe. Alex has a magical touch, finds every sore spot and gently, but firmly works them out. I felt completely relaxed and pampered. Pura Vida also offers facials and body scrubs to cleanse and exfoliate your skin leaving it summer ready. Their organic spray tan smells great and is deliciously made from sugar cane, vanilla, caramel, coconut, and green tea. Alex’s goal is for the client to be completely satisfied and we hope Pura Vida Spa becomes as well known as the motto that inspired its creation.

LOVE FOOD, NOT WASTE ON THE ROAD TO ZERO WORDS: COLLEEN FOSTER PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
Oceanside businesses and residents are becoming savvier about reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling, as we collectively strive to meet our Zero Waste goal of a 75 to 90-percent recycling rate by 2020. At a current recycling rate of 71-percent, we are well on our way. However, our community now must take a hard look at what’s left in our trash bin. Surprisingly enough, the majority of what’s left turns out to be food! In fact, food makes up approximately 38-percent of what’s in California landfills! When one in seven people in San Diego don’t know where their next meal is coming from, and greenhouse gases generated from wasted edible food continue to affect our climate—we must recognize that this is a problem that has to be fixed. 26 THEOSIDER.COM
What are the impacts? Approximately 40-percent of the food that’s produced in America annually ends up going to waste. All of this wasted food in our landfills creates a huge environmental impact. When organic material, food, and yard trimmings break down in our landfills, the by-product is methane gas. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Methane is actually 25 times more damaging to our climate than carbon emissions. The methane gas produced by these organic materials in landfills accounts for eighteen-percent for all methane produced in the U.S. In addition, it takes 300 barrels of oil and 25-percent of all the United States’ freshwater consumption to grow the 40-percent of food that Americans throw away.
Still edible? When does food become waste?
What’s being done? The good news is California is taking the lead on eliminating food waste. In 2015, the State of California set a goal of eliminating all organic materials from going to landfills through the passage of Assembly Bill 1826. AB 1826 will require businesses that generate food waste and other organic waste (e.g. yard trimmings) to divert it out of landfills by the year 2020. This is because commercial generators of food such as grocery stores and restaurants make up the majority of the food waste generated in the United States. Oceanside is currently working on developing zero waste focused programs and systems to help businesses find ways to reduce waste first, donate excess food, and recycle what’s left. When two local restaurants first heard the news about the new State mandate (AB 1826) to recycle food waste, they wanted to know just how much food they were sending to the landfill. John Daley (101 Café) and Roddy Browning (Flying Pig Pub and Kitchen) offered up their waste for a day last August to allow City staff to measure just that. As the City works to develop program opportunities and recycling options for source reduction of food waste, food donation, and eventually food recycling services in Oceanside, these real life data opportunities have become invaluable.
THEOSIDER.COM 27
What can you do? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed several tools for residents and businesses to measure food waste and help take charge to reduce this waste. More information can be found at epa.gov/ sustainable-management-food Below are some simple practices you can incorporate into your daily life or business plan. Reduce Food Waste: Plan your meals and menu before you buy, then only purchase what you need. See what you already have before food shopping or ordering. Use leftover food to create specials and new meal options. Donate Excess Food: Don’t let this valuable resource become wasted by going to the landfill. Donate excess food to local organizations that help feed those in need. Many children, seniors, and veterans in San Diego don’t know where their next meal is coming from—making donation of food that’d otherwise be wasted is a beneficial humanitarian option, not just an environmental action. Recycle/Compost the Rest: If food does actually become inedible, compost it! Start a compost bin of your own or connect with a local farm, community garden, or the City’s zero waste team to find out more information on potential local options for composting or recycling.
If you’re interested in learning more about AB 1826 Mandatory Organics Recycling or how we can help you on your Road to Zero Waste, please visit the Zero Waste page at greenoceanside.org or you can email the Zero Waste team at oceansiderecycles@ci.oceanside.ca.us
Food waste or wasted food? Compostable? YES!

MICHAEL SUMMERS WORDS: MARGARET HERNANDEZ PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
As a native Californian, Michael Summers spent his early years immersed in the beautiful Mojave Desert. With weekend trips to Joshua Tree National Park, Michael always enjoyed the great outdoors. He explored the desert, climbed rocks, and got lost amongst the plethora of nature trails. Reflecting on the poor education system where he grew up, Michael was fortunate to receive some formal art training. However, his teacher was simply waiting out her time until retirement, so it wasn’t the most fulfilling experience. Luckily, Michael was surrounded by an older generation of individuals living a hippie lifestyle, who encouraged creativity and wonder
30  THEOSIDER.COM
“Art is a compulsion that people have to create and make.” To see more of Michael’s amazing work, please go to www.michaelsummersart.com
that stayed with him throughout the years. At the age of twenty, he left the desert and enlisted in the Army. After extensive travel during and after his time in the service, Michael always knew he wanted to return to Southern California. His last move was from Austin to San Diego to attend college at San Diego State University. His original major was graphic design, but Michael soon realized it wasn’t the right direction for him. Michael found relief working towards a degree in Art with a minor in Philosophy. To him, “Art is a compulsion that people have to create and make. It’s a way to explain ideas or concepts inside us for which we may not have the words or language.” Even after these profound musings,
Michael never considered making a living as a fine artist. He mentioned a quote by Jim Carey that resonated with him: “It’s better to fail at what you love than fail at what you don’t.” After ten years creating work inspired by urban landscapes, he started introducing humans and animals into his scenes. He enjoyed creating worlds where he dictates the interactions between them. This spark led to some of his most incredible paintings. A current resident of Oceanside, Michael’s recent work involves extensive animal research, most of which he does at the San Diego Zoo. He explained that research is key with his work. To understand animals, he takes photographs,
sketches, and spends time observing their relationships, interactions, and emotions. You can see one of Michael’s first murals, entitled “Catnap,” in Carlsbad at the former Witch Creek Winery. His second mural, “Ballroom Dance,” is on display at Harrah’s Resort Southern California Events Center. Michael’s next piece will be donated to “Engineers without Borders.” The funds raised will cover expenses for engineers to travel to impoverished countries and empower communities by assisting with their basic human needs. Eager to paint a mural in Oceanside, Michael has challenged himself to become more involved with charitable events and public organizations by “doing what you’re good at to make the world a better place.” THEOSIDER.COM 31

Home grown CHARLIE DOHERTY WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER
When you walk on any of the structures made of concrete here in Oceanside, chances are that Charlie Doherty has had a hand in building them. Born at Tri City hospital in 1970, Charlie grew up all over Oceanside and now resides in Fire Mountain with his high school sweetheart Maria, and their four children—Elizabeth, Christopher, Pamela, and Brian. Charlie has built a great business in Doherty Concrete, which services commercial properties, city contracts, and homeowners alike. Founded in 1996, Doherty Concrete is truly a family-run business. Charlie works alongside his brothers

(Matt and Shawn), who are like his right and left arms. Along with Tim Haggerty, he’s been blessed with a team he can really trust and depend on to get the jobs done right. Like most of our residents, Charlie loves it here in Oceanside and could not imagine running his business or raising his family anywhere else. When he isn’t busy with the business, you can find him rummaging local garage sales, the swap meet, and secondhand stores for vintage finds. Just one look at his work yard and you can see his love for vintage goods (such as old street signs, early model
cars, and tools) shining through. “The people here in Oceanside are very real and unpretentious,” stated Charlie. He’s very proud to be a part of the community and its growth. Like most Oceanside natives—when you grow up here, you never leave. Because home is where the heart is. And for Charlie Doherty—that home is right here in Oceanside.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE
ROSICRUCIAN FELLOWSHIP WORDS: KRISTI HAWTHORNE PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE OCEANSIDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
One hundred and five years ago, Max Heindel—the self-professed leader and founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship—acquired 40-acres of land overlooking the picturesque San Luis Rey Valley. Heindel named the property “Mount Ecclesia,” a Greek word translated to mean “church or congregation.” The early motto (or message) was relayed to Oceanside residents as being, “A sane mind, a soft heart, and a sound body.”
Circa 1930s
All historical photos were taken circa 1940s.

Max and Augusta Heindel arrived in Oceanside in the spring of 1911 and established the Rosicrucian Fellowship Headquarters after purchasing an original 40acre tract for $100 an acre. Heindel claimed to have seen a double rainbow as he viewed the property for the first time and that one end originated “directly upon Mount Ecclesia.”

2.
Max Heindel—who’s given name was Carl Louis von Grosshoff—was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1865. He married Augusta Foss in Santa Ana, just a year before coming to Oceanside. After his death in 1919, Augusta Heindel remained in charge of the Fellowship and was active in community affairs, heading the Oceanside Beautification Club in the 20s and 30s. She was a life member of both the Oceanside Business and Professional Women’s Club and the Oceanside Humane Society. Augusta Heindel died at the age of 84 in 1949.
3.
In October of 1911, a cross was erected on the grounds with a rosebush planted next to it, which are representative of the Rosicrucian symbols. The following month, construction began of a twelve-room administration building that was built by local contractor Edwin Carter.
4.
In 1920, building began for the Healing Temple on Mt. Ecclesia at a cost of $15,000. The temple, a beautiful, but mysterious landmark, can be seen from many parts of the valley. Newspaper reports stated the temple was “twelve sided and built according to the astrological symbols” and constructed of reinforced concrete.
5.
By 1914, a printing plant was established. It began printing and publishing books distributed around the world. Publications included the The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception; The Rosicrucian Mysteries; Freemasonry and

Catholicism; The Rosicrucian Principles of Child Training; The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas; and Simplified Scientific Astrology. Books, correspondence, and newsletters were printed in a several different languages. Twelve “secretaries” fluent in one or more of these languages resided in house on the grounds in one of twelve “zodiacal rooms.”
6.
In 1923, a twenty-room dormitory was added to the Headquarters. Built of tile and stucco in Mission style, it included a sun parlor for the benefit of residents and guests, which came from as far as Australia.

“Summer school” sessions were held beginning in July for a period of eight weeks. Classes were scheduled five days a week in the following subjects: Rosicrucian philosophy, astrology, anatomy, physiology, and public speaking. In 1927, the local paper reported, “Applications for reservations are being received nearly every day. All available rooms have been taken, and tents are being put up to take care of the overflow.”
8.
So much mail was generated to and from the Rosicrucian Fellowship that it raised Oceanside’s post office rating from fourth class to second class. In 1936, when Oceanside’s first federal post office building was built (located on Seagaze), it was directly attributed to increased activity at the Fellowship.
In 1938, additions were made to enlarge the Sanitarium, which included a second story and tower. The new improved sanitarium, which opened in 1939, featured the “latest equipment for treatment of chronic ailments or the convalescent, post-operative, nervous, or debilitated patient.” Hydrotherapy—along with music and color therapies—was offered, while vegetarian meals were served in the cafeteria building.
10.
A large Star Pine was planted decades ago just south of the “Founder’s Cross” erected in 1911. Up until a few years ago, members of the Fellowship would decorate this pine tree with Christmas lights that could be seen from quite a distance.

GUAJOME REGIONAL PARK
394-Acres of Preserved Nature in Oceanside WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE
ZACH CORDNER/SURFREPS.ORG
GUAJOME REGIONAL PARK
Tucked away at the northeastern border of Oceanside lies 394 acres that comprise San Diego County’s Guajome Regional Park. Guajome Park’s unassuming entrance off of SR76 leads to a surprising natural oasis that bodes something for every family member (including pets on a leash) looking to enjoy nature without venturing too far from the city. Just eight miles from the ocean, Guajome’s serene setting offers multiple opportunities to get outdoors by camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing, biking, or just relaxing. It may come as a surprise to most visitors to find such solitude amidst suburban development. The park is open everyday from 9:30am to sunset. There is a threedollar day parking fee to be paid at the entrance’s service machine. Guajome hosts about 400 visitors per day. The word “guajome” (pronounced gwa-homee) is derived from the Luiseno word for “frog pond.” The first Native American inhabitants in the area were given the name “Luiseno” by the Franciscan Padres at the Mission San Luis Rey. In 1845, Pio Pico granted the land to two Luiseno

brothers. Not long after, one of San Diego County’s original and well-known families settled the land when Ysidora Bandini (Old Town San Diego’s Casa de Bandini notoriety) was gifted the land for her wedding. Her husband, Cave Johnson Couts, Sr. constructed nearby Rancho Guajome Adobe and operated a working ranch that encompassed what is now Guajome Regional Park land. In the 1950s, owner Jerry Buteyn introduced exotic birds and other animals to the park. The lake and marsh areas were also constructed at this time to enhance to appeal to visitors (and birds). It was called Buteyn Bird Farm. The County of San Diego purchased the land in the 1973 and is now protected as an open space recreation area and National Historic Site by the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department.
sites with paved driveways, fire rings, and holding tank disposal station. There are also hot showers and clean restrooms available to campers. The campgrounds are ideal for RV or tent camping and are at capacity or near-full capacity year-round.
WITHIN THE 394-ACRE PARK, AMENITIES ABOUND AND VISITORS WILL FIND:
Sports: For sports enthusiasts, there’s a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, a Pickleball court, horseshoe pits, and an outdoor fitness area.
Hiking/Biking Trails: The 4.5 miles of nonmotorized, well-maintained trails showcase native Southern Californian habitats such as chaparral, wetlands, mixed grasslands, and woodlands. Animals such as coyotes and roadrunners are often spotted. Horseback riders are permitted and a common sight on the trails. According to Park Ranger, Adam Galler, there’s even a secret route in the park where you can “no pedal” a mountain bike for over half-a-mile. Guajome Regional Park is an ideal location for those wanting to wander outdoors and capitalize on open space in Oceanside. According to a recent camper, “We love camping at Guajome, it’s just enough of the camping experience without giving up the luxuries of everyday life. We camp here every year.”
Fishing: There are two ponds for shore fishing, where common catches are bass, bluegill, and

Rental Facilities: There’s an enclosed pavilion, wedding gazebo, and family cabin that are all available to rent. The 600-square-foot cabin can accommodate up to six people (sleeps four) with a double bed frame, three foldout sleeping cots, a full kitchen, a table and chairs, a restroom with shower, a patio, and a fire pit. Playgrounds: Two shaded playgrounds with rubber flooring are perfect for little ones and are able to be enjoyed on hot days. The sprawling lawns are ideal for a picnic, as well.

WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE Oceanside becomes a mecca for beach soccer when it hosts the 10th Annual Beach Soccer Championships on Saturday, May 14th and Sunday, May 15th, 2016. A total of 300 amateur youth teams, and sixteen professional teams from across the country and around the globe descend upon Oceanside Harbor to compete in the tournament for the coveted title of Beach Soccer Champions. Oceanside Harbor is the most popular place to be on that May weekend, and a great introduction for approximately 70,000 locals and visitors to the exciting world of beach soccer. Ten years ago, Beach Soccer Championships co-founder Marc Koehler researched the reason why kids around the age of twelve stop playing sports. One of the major factors identified was too much pressure to perform, which removed the fun from playing sports. Through research, Marc (along with his partners Gino Rossi and Frank Zimmerman) discovered that beach soccer

was a fantastic sport for kids to play competitively without pressure. Whereas a grass soccer field provides an even playing field, beach sand is ever changing and less predictable. Parents and coaches can appreciate that there’s no perfect play for beach soccer and let the players enjoy the game and its outcome. In turn, the kids enjoy the game, the beach, team companionship, and watching the professionals. Since its inception, Oceanside’s Beach Soccer Championships invites professional beach soccer teams to compete. Gino Rossi described the experience as, “Grabbing the world cup of beach soccer, and bringing it down to the people.” The teams come from the U.S.A, Italy, Japan, Dubai, Brazil, Columbia, Peru, and Holland to compete for the cash prize purse at Beach Soccer Stadium. The team from Switzerland is returning in 2016 to defend their title. The professional teams attending are part of Beach Soccer World Wide (BSWW); which was formed in 1992. As part of BSWW, professional beach soccer teams compete for the ultimate prize of FIFA’s Beach Soccer World Cup. This year, three players on the Dubai team attending the tournament played on 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup’s winning Portugal team! All the beach festivities and games throughout the weekend at Oceanside Harbor are free to the public. The Beach Soccer USA Foundation sponsors a free youth soccer clinic on Friday, May 13, 2016 from 5:30pm to 6:45pm— a cool way for youth of all ages to get involved. The clinic is taught by the professional beach soccer players and led by Japan’s Beach Soccer National Team Coach, Marcelo Mendes. The goal of the clinic is to educate youth about the sport of beach soccer while promoting fun, healthy living, and team sportsmanship. The professionals serve as ambassadors for the sport, but in turn, also help elevate their career because of the caliber of the event. The Beach Soccer Championships tournament is a win for Oceanside. According to Marc Koehler, the event generates approximately $3 million for the city, while attracting a youthful demographic (eight to eighteen-years old). The players (along with their families and friends) get the Oceanside experience for the weekend. Sponsors looking to participate in this weekendlong, family-friendly event are encouraged to get involved this year or in future events. Parking at Oceanside Harbor on May 14th and 15th is prime. A good way to dodge the harbor traffic is to utilize the shuttle bus located near the Oceanside Transit Center, located off of Seagaze Drive and Cleveland. The shuttle runs every fifteen minutes and drops off at Harbor Beach. Look for event shuttle signs.

EDUCACIÓN COMIENZA EN EL HOGA (EDUCATION BEGINS IN THE HOME) WORDS: PROMISE YEE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
It’s a simple, beautiful idea: Provide kids with books of their own to promote literacy and education. That’s the thought behind Educación Comienza en el Hoga, or “Education Begins in the Home.” Organization founder Edward Becerra latched onto the idea of providing free books to local kids a year ago. A long time volunteer, he wanted to do something to help after he heard that Vista Unified School District high school graduation rate was 81 percent overall, and 73 percent for Latino students in 2013. To his dismay, he found Oceanside had similar graduation rates. Becerra asked around and found that literacy is key to education, and books are essential for literacy. With the goal to provide books to lots of kids, he scouted for donations. His first attempts brought him in front of service groups to request gently used books. The response was positive, and books were donated a dozen at a time. Then he came across a library book sale, and wondered what became of all the books that didn’t sell. A meeting with Gail Wells, a Friends of Oceanside Library volunteer, led to a long-term collaboration and reliable source of used books. The new supply was well beyond what he drummed up from individual donors. Still Becerra wanted to see if there might be more resources available, and hooked up with San Diego Book Project, which provides used books, and Latino Literacy Now that supplies new books in English and Spanish.
Founders, Edward Becerra and Genevieve Wunder
Becerra and Genevieve Wunder, his partner in literacy efforts, pick up books from multiple sources and schedule deliveries at public functions. Early efforts began with distributing books at Oceanside library and city sponsored events. Now Education Begins in the Home has teamed up with the Oceanside Unified School District “Promise” program to dole out books at school events. The
52 THEOSIDER.COM
Oceanside Promise program is working to ensure 100-percent of Oceanside students graduate high school and are career and college ready by the class of 2026. Book distribution efforts have also extended to nearby cities. A day of giving kids books is a good day for Becerra. Collected books are sorted into age group reading levels, which kids and their
parents browse. The rich selection Becerra amasses oftentimes allows children to choose three books to keep. A child’s joy in walking away with their own book is shared by Becerra, and mirrored in his satisfaction to provide books. In its first year, Education Begins in the Home distributed over 8,000 books to kids in Oceanside, Vista, and Escondido. “It’s a great feeling to see a small child
walk away with a book in their hand that’s going to be theirs,” Becerra said. “I think it gives them pride to know they have a book of their own they can pick up and read any time of the day.” Some next steps for the organization are to team up with a larger group to gain nonprofit status and expand efforts. Becerra said he’d like to distribute books to kids in all North
County school districts. A nonprofit partnership is being finalized to help make that happen, so the future looks bright for Education Begins in the Home.

Oceanside is home to many surf, skate, and lifestyle businesses, but you might not be aware that one of the most successful hair care companies in the world was founded here in 2000 and continues to operate it’s business from our beautiful city. Owner Patrick Dockry started Enjoy Professional Hair Care sixteen years ago with Owners, a five-product hair care line. Kelly and Travis Esquibel With his background in hair styling and business, Patrick set out to create a company

and products dedicated to providing the professional salon industry with the highest quality hair care products. The brand now offers an immense line of sulfate-free, pH balanced hair care products, but has also grown into a beauty and lifestyle empire under Patrick’s attentive watch that includes the Skinjoy and HBL hair care product lines, an on-line lifestyle/beauty magazine and show called Health, Beauty, Lifestyle, and energy drinks. And he created an app to connect health, hair, and nail professionals. Patrick grew up in Oceanside and started working for the Creative Nail Company when he was just sixteen years old. He was in the first graduating class at El Camino High and received his hairdresser training at the Oceanside College of Beauty. He worked in Los Angeles honing his skills in the hair industry (as well as his business acumen), but when he was ready to start a business of his own—he knew he’d establish it in his hometown. His extremely “hands-on” approach has allowed him to create a business that’s so much more than just a hair care line. He is adamant that his company is committed to the hairdresser and hair salon and the integrity of the products they produce is the most important thing to him. Every product is made in-house with food grade ingredients and the highest environmental
standards. Being a contentious business is also a priority and every measure possible is taken to ensure the company is recycling and conserving to it’s utmost, which “sometimes costs more, but is worth it,” said Patrick. Patrick has a passion for healthily living that informs all aspects of his business and he’s continually evolving products to be the highest quality they can be. He’s also involved with the manufacturing of every product from inception to sales and also travels around the country teaching Hairdresser Power seminars and business classes. Enjoy has around 50 on-site employees who often serve as the testers and models for new products (and all have fabulous hair!), and they have around 60 sales reps (who I bet also have fabulous hair!). The connection between the company and the hair care professionals who use and sell his products is very important to Patrick. With his boundless innovation, the business will continue to grow and thrive in Oceanside for years to come.

WORDS: ALICIA STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER Upon first entering URGE, a first thought is “wow!” Most of our community remembers this large building housing different businesses that we had either frequented, stopped into once, or wondered about, but this transformation is astounding. Originally a bank, the building sitting on the corner of Coast Hwy and Vista Way, has now wholly anchored itself into the bones of South Oceanside. Once you’ve tasted URGE’s food and sipped a cocktail or two, you’ll soon realize they’re here to stay as a great addition to our family. URGE Gastropub and Whiskey Bank runs under the parent company, 3 Local Brothers (3LB). Long-time friends, Zak Higson and Grant Tondro started 3LB in 2007. Adding Zak’s brother Nate, the name was specifically chosen to represent unity amongst the group, a bond that cant be broken! After focusing on high-end dining in Rancho Bernardo, they shifted into craft beer, and then, of course, killer whiskey pairings with some truly amazing food. Said Grant, “We’re not content with repeating the same concept. Sure, URGE Oceanside is technically another location, but we hope you’ll find that it has it’s own personality to reflect the community.” Which brings us to the most important part— the drinks and the food! They run a serious

brewery, emphasizing on “dressing up the beer and with fresh, local ingredients.” Currently operating under Mason Ale Works, they’re serving eleven of their own beers, as well as 30 other drafts. They have fourteen craft cocktails and the menus are updated daily on their website. You might’ve caught on that the word “URGE,” is a play on the word “burger,” but that’s not all they have to offer. Their staff is so knowledable about the food/drink pairings and whiskey flights that you needn’t know much while being seated at their tables. Customer service is a top priority that shines through every aspect of their dining experience. From their Salmon Burger and carne asada Street Tacos to their Wild Whiskey Pork Chop or Lobster Ravioli, there’s a libation to make everything taste even better! Keeping the original bank as an important part of the building’s history, there are some really cool plans for the future of the vault room that you should definitely stay tuned for! The owners agree they couldn’t be happier about being part of our community during the city’s current growth. “This is such a great time for South O. The future is so bright. With the positive response since we opened, we already feel at home here.”

Early on, they recognized that with the innovations happening in Oceanside it was time to be the first brewery located downtown. Shannon, who grew up surfing the beaches of Carlsbad and Oceanside, wanted to create an establishment that had the laid back surf and

skate vibe while bringing a family friendly atmosphere. They definitely have succeeded with their vision. It doesn’t hurt being located by the famous Oceanside pier, either— locals and tourists alike have been flocking to try the delicious food and great beers they’re creating. The walls of the restaurant are adorned with signed surfboards, skateboards, and an autographed picture of the late Junior Seau and Donald Takayama, who were often seen enjoying one of the many great beers on draft. Lars and brewer Rich Carney are making some of the best beer in not only North County, but also the United States. They proved this by getting a bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival last year for their Teahupo’o Double IPA. They also have one of the best IPAs around called the DMJ, which is named after a famous local surf break. This beer has an intense citrus and hop flavor and Amber color
that can stand up to any beer on the market. Their signature pizzas, Panini’s, salads, appetizers, and variety of wings have kept customers happy for over eight years. The positivity and community atmosphere in the Breakwater Brewery is truly contagious. From Shannon’s wife, Alicia, bar tending to the many local beach clean ups and charity events they participate in, Breakwater is a welcome part of the booming downtown area. They’re so close to the train station and our beautiful pier, it’d be a shame if you missed out on all the fun. Whether you want to catch a game on one of their many giant TVs or just relax in a local environment and drink a great beer, Breakwater has you covered.

ONE LOVE ISLAND CUISINE WORDS: BRYN HERRLEIN PHOTOS: RENORDO BOWEN
When most people think of Jamaica, they automatically envision reggae music and Bob Marley. A new Jamaican eatery in Oceanside is trying to change that line of thinking. At One Love, their first love is Jamaican cuisine and warm hospitality. Sean and Cammal Walker are native Jamaicans, whose families immigrated to California when they were children. They were raised eating traditional Jamaican food at home, but nowhere else. Proud of their cultural heritage, the Walkers were not happy with the way Jamaican and Caribbean food was represented in San Diego. Their response was to start a booth at the Oceanside Farmer's Market. Over time, their authentic island cuisine became popular; giving them opportunities to branch out. They vend for Beach Services at the Oceanside Pier, and cater for micro breweries such as Belching Beaver, Aztec, Mother Earth, and Ironfist. In July 2015, after much encouragement from clients and friends, One Love Island Cuisine restaurant opened. One Love Island Cuisine is truly a labor of love for the Walkers because both have thriving second careers. Sean works nights for UPS as an international auditor and Cammal works days teaching at Vista Christian Montessori preschool. Sean is also a Veteran from the first Gulf War where he was a CH47D helicopter engineer.
62 THEOSIDER.COM
Owners, Sean and Cammal Walker
On top of all that, the booth at the Thursday night farmers market is still going strong. The passion they have to represent their native cuisine and culture is remarkable—it must be very challenging to own and manage a restaurant while holding down a second full-time job. When I walked into One Love, I immediately felt the warm Jamaican welcome from the staff and smelled fragrance of allspice from the kitchen. For an appetizer, I had beef and veggie patties (similar to a empanada), with an extremely spicy Scotch Bonnet Chili Sauce. For my entrée, I tried a combo plate with Jerk Chicken, Goat Curry, fried Plantain, Beans, and Rice. I washed it down with an ice cold Ting, a Grapefruit soda made from Jamaican grapefruit, which is both tart and sweet. Sean’s favorite dish is the Oxtail plate, so I had to try that, too. It was “fall off the bone” tender with mild spice, but very flavorful—a nice contrast to the spicy Jerk Chicken and Goat Curry. The goal at One Love is to educate the community about Jamaican cuisine by providing traditional and fusion food. In an attempt to make their food more accessible to the American palate, the Walkers offer their dishes in more familiar California styles (tacos and wrap options) while still delivering the spices of their homeland. Sean’s favorite saying, “No problem, mon” definitely sums up his outlook on life and work.
