:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER
Vol. 4, No. 4 TM
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Five Years Already?
I
Derrick Breaux Publisher
t all started as an idea. We didn’t know exactly what we were about to get ourselves into. After months of napkin scratching (often accompanied by a glass of wine or two or three at one of our favorite local restaurants), we decided to pull the trigger and launch our first zip code magazine – 92127 Magazine. The initial issue of 92127 hit driveways back in November of 2009 – that’s right, we didn’t even mail them to houses in the beginning. We started mailing to all of the homes shortly thereafter. At least in my mind, the concept was simple and straightforward. We were going to “publish a magazine that people wanted to read.” As a matter of fact, that is still our company mission statement to this very day. After all, how hard could it actually be? The original concept was going to be “template-based” and easy to design. We would then be able to duplicate the template-based concept into other neighboring zip codes. Piece of cake, right? Well… not so fast. What we quickly discovered is that our “templatebased” concept was not going to be template-based after all. On the contrary, as we began to assemble the ZCode Team, we discovered that our talented crew of professionals had a burning desire to push the limits and make each issue better than the last one. In fact, they would have it no other way. Therefore, complete customization was in, and the templates were out. Complete customization allowed us to spotlight people, families, organizations, and businesses at the professional level that they deserved (and we envisioned). We wanted to create bigger-than-life editorial features that people would be proud of and keep for the rest of their lives – articles that are often found framed on their walls. An artistic editorial piece that would normally only be found in national magazines, but all compiled specifically for our local community and residents. That was the vision, and the incredible ZCode Team composed of editorial personnel, graphic designers, account executives, and our production coordinator came together to make it happen. Issue after issue, our team works hard to pull hundreds of pages of beautiful editorial content, advertisements, and community announcements together. The adrenaline rush of upload night (the night that we send the magazine to the printer) is not as strong as it once was. In the early days, it was not uncommon to watch the sun rise after a long night of final touches. Today, we rarely have to stay past 7 p.m. on upload day. But after five years of publishing ZCode Magazines – and a total of 190 issues across sixteen zip codes – we still get excited to kick our feet up and flip through the pages when the issue arrives. In fact, it’s a gift. It still amazes me how a team of nearly twenty people can efficiently work together to produce magazines that touch the heart and soul of the local communities. Thanks for being a reader and supporting 92064 Magazine! Regards, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

oway High School (PHS) recently hosted the 22nd Annual Poway Invitational Field Tournament (PIFT), an all-day competition showcasing the talents of marching bands from across Southern California. The PHS Emerald Brigade, which did not compete, closed out the tournament with a lively exhibition performance. The seventeen visiting marching bands competed in six different divisions according to size and were scored by Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association judges. Mayor Don Higginson presented the Sweepstakes Award to Mt. Carmel High School, the top band overall. The tournament was organized by the PHS Music Boosters, a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting all PHS music programs. Laura Martin, this year’s vice president ways and means, was in charge of PIFT 2014, and her husband Derek served as the day’s master of ceremonies.

MOTHER, VOLUNTEER, AUTHOR CINDY C. MURRAY CREATES YOUNG CHARACTERS TO INSPIRE by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Zeena Gregg Photography
W
hen Cindy couldn’t find the book she was looking for, she decided to write it herself. One where the protagonists have all the characteristics to inspire – smart, charismatic, reliable, relatable, and female. Cindy C. Murray has brought her characters, Sophie and Scottie, to life in their very own adventure series. Cindy’s inspiration came from time spent in the local schools. “After I had children and would volunteer in their classrooms, I was getting familiar with the books they would read and that is when I knew I wanted to write a book of some kind for kids ages 8 to 12,” explained Cindy. Soon Cindy began writing her own stories. “One of my goals for writing this book is to promote literacy,” she acknowledged. Six years and a four-book contract with Kandon Publishing later, Sophie and Scottie’s Adventures of the Monarch Mystery was published. The book won the Silver Award for ages 9 to 12 from the Mom’s Choice Awards organization. The second book of the series is scheduled for publication in February 2015. Cindy began writing in her childhood. Raised in Escondido with six siblings, she always loved writing in school, “from elementary school through college, it didn’t matter the subject.” After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Business Administration, Cindy went to work for Hewlett-Packard. Her career path shifted when her second daughter was born, and she chose to stay at home to raise her daughters and volunteer in their schools. The experience led her not just to write stories, but stories that could contribute to their education, “edutainment” she calls it, particularly about science and the environment. As for her daughters, Mackenzie is a senior at Baylor University earning her degree in accounting and Maddie is a senior at Poway High School. Cindy and her husband, Tom, have been married for thirty years and residents of Poway for twenty-six. The Murray family’s favorite activities take them across San Diego, from running on the beach or around Lake Poway to art festivals, concerts, and sporting events. Entering the world of publishing is tough work, and Cindy offers advice for beginning writers: “Be very patient and truly believe in your story, characters, and writing goals.” With overwhelmingly positive feedback from young readers and the distinguishment of the Mom’s Choice Award, Cindy is excited to spread the adventures of Sophie and Scottie. ¢

SOPHIA LUCIA’S AWARD-WINNING JOURNEY IN DANCE by LYDIA COBB
A
t age 12, Sophia Lucia has had more than the average person’s fifteen minutes of fame. She’s a dancing sensation. Of numerous national dance titles, she recently won Best Junior Female Dancer in New York City’s “The Dance Awards.” Since age 2, she has trained in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, ballroom, and musical theatre. “What I love most about dance is how I can express my feelings through movement,” revealed Sophia. She performs on screen as well, with appearances in a dozen prime time shows including America’s Got Talent, Disney, Dancing with the Stars, and The Ellen Show. She played Shirley Temple for Fox Legacy and has appeared in commercials for Old Navy and McDonald’s. Her legacy includes setting a Guinness World Record by completing fifty-five consecutive pirouettes in 2013. This recognition inspired her to write Sophia’s Turn, a children’s counting book that breaks down the process in achieving the Guinness record. All of Sophia’s family lives in Poway. Two of her cousins run dance studios and have

inspired her love for dance: Kristen Hibbs owns San Diego Dance Center, where Sophia trained until age 10. She’s now working with Niki Lucia, who owns Danceology. She credits her two teachers, Rachel Sebastian and Tiffani King, with whom she spends much of her day training. “These ladies are a dynamite duo who have made me the dancer I am today,” added Sophia. Sophia is homeschooled through the Classical Academy. Math and science are her favorite subjects. Stepping out, she extends her influence to charity. Sophia raised $10,000 for an orphanage she visited in Vietnam. She granted a Make-A-Wish moment with Piper Adams, an 11-year-old with cystic fibrosis. Together they designed a costume and are lifelong friends now, as Sophia described. She has addressed North County high school assemblies to raise awareness to stop cyber bullying. Not only is dance revered for its grace and beauty, costuming is part of the art. Sophia collaborated with her dancewear line, California Kisses, as spokesmodel and creator of their line “The Sophia Lucia.” Her dream is to have her own show on Disney or Nickelodeon. Passions for singing and acting are emerging. This way she can continue to inspire people, and in her words, “to be the best you can be and to believe in your dreams!” Set the DVR — her dreams are within reach. ¢

Name of Chefs: Mary Mitchell and Granddaughter Mary Mitchell Family: Husband – Charles; Children – Tom, Lana, Angelique, and Chuck; Nine Grandchildren; Son – Keith injured in Iraq and passed away in 2007 Community: Poway Interests: Family, travel, reading, frustrated artist, water aerobics, and yoga Favorite Local Activities: Walking in my “hood” or Lake Poway About the Recipe: My grandmother and mother used to make this every Christmas and Easter. When my sons were growing up it was always difficult to keep the gumdrops hidden so I would have to go to the store when they weren’t around and have the loaves constructed before they came home from school. When my husband was deployed in the Navy, and again when my two sons were in the Army, I would bake it and send to them in their care packages. It was always a hit, but in the desert it was hard as a rock and enjoyed in a different way. In this picture I am teaching my granddaughter Mary, Keith’s daughter in North Carolina, her dad’s favorite Christmas treat. True to form, we had to go buy more gumdrops at the last minute! About the Chef: We are proud Powegians since 1968. I own my own boutique real estate company and was honored to be named 2013 “Realtor of the Year” for our local Poway Real Estate Professionals. I am a current director of the Greater San Diego Realtor Association and also serve as chair of their Local Events Task Force. As a military wife and mother, women’s issues are very important to me. I am an active member of the Poway Soroptimists and was chair of the 2013 High Tea, raising over $18,000 for our Transitional Housing Program which provides shelter for women and their children escaping domestic violence.

:::: HEALTHY SMILES
Why are My Teeth Getting More Crowded as I Get Older? During your late twenties, your teeth may start to shift due to subtle tooth growth, which impacts tooth alignment. It’s natural for the teeth to gradually shift, even if you had braces as a teenager. This happens mainly because of heredity, wisdom teeth (the growth can make teeth overlap in the front of the mouth), or even teeth that are lost prematurely due to extractions. This causes malposition of adjoining teeth and shifts their positions, which has the same effect as removing a block out of an arch – over time the entire arch collapses. Changes in how your tongue rests against your teeth and in your bite can also cause your teeth to shift. Orthodontics, Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry, and implants can help correct shifting teeth. It’s important to address shifting teeth, since extra spaces can form where food particles can get caught and cause tooth decay and gum disease. Braces are the most common way to straighten teeth and close spaces, but wearing them can be a long and painful process. There are ways to obtain that perfect smile without the use of braces, so if braces aren’t for you then one of these other methods may just be the ideal solution. Consider Invisalign instead of traditional braces. The Invisalign system uses a series of retainer-like mouthpieces to shape your teeth. Results usually take about a year to obtain. Note, however, that this method works best for those whose teeth misalignment is relatively minor. Have veneers applied to your teeth to instantly cover old imperfections and give you a perfect smile without any painful teeth straightening at all. If you’re interested in this option, talk with your dentist about which veneer would be best for you.

he 1st Annual Jack-O-Smash 5000 was a smashing success for the local special needs community! With festivities including 1K and 5K runs, a celebrity softball game, and the Family Fun Festival, there was a way for everyone to celebrate and show their support. The seasonal theme was everywhere, with a Pumpkin Trebuchet and sixteen-foot-tall Pumpkin Plinko Game. There was even a quiet zone with pumpkins to decorate. All proceeds went towards local organizations making a direct impact on community members’ lives, with an emphasis on special needs in general instead of a specific diagnosis. One beneficiary was the PoVa Therapeutic Riding Center, a nonprofit offering equestrian therapy to special needs children and young adults. The other was Next Stage U, a new organization that plans to offer post-secondary education for young adults with special needs starting as early as 2017.

hile it may be one of the more common surnames in our country, the Johnson family of 92064 stands out among Johnsons for their commitment to sports, their family ties to Poway, and their service to the school district. Throughout the years, Deron and Debi Johnson have built an extended family that reaches deep into the Poway community. In the '60s, Deron’s parents left Little Italy in downtown San Diego to start a cattle ranch on fifty acres in Poway, in what is today the PVRA area and where the Johnsons currently live. Deron’s father was a Major League baseball
player, playing in the 1973 World Series with the Oakland A’s before becoming a hitting coach for the major leagues. Debi’s parents made the move to Poway in 1971 when her father, Dennis Devore, secured a teaching position at Poway Unified School District. Both Debi’s mom and dad retired from the school district after thirty-plus years. Both Debi and Deron chose to follow in their family’s footsteps. Debi is a teacher at Twin Peaks Middle School, and Deron, a former minor leagues player, is a baseball hitting instructor. Over the last fifteen years, Deron has coached at Poway High School, working with close to thirty professional and college players and two players that made it to the major leagues. Even though they are both alumni of Poway High School, Debi ('87) and Deron ('82) did not meet until 1993 when they were introduced through mutual friends at the Oaks North Golf Course. They will celebrate their twentieth anniversary this spring. Weekends for the Johnson family are spent cheering on their four children at a variety of sporting events – baseball, softball, basketball, or soccer. “Our family hobbies are sports, sports, and more sports,” Debi explained. John, 22, Rylee, 17, Deron, 15, and Jake, 8, have full support of their parents, along with a little help from their grandparents, aunts, and uncles. “It truly does take a village, and we are so lucky to have so many of our immediate family around to depend on,” Debi acknowledged. While the Johnsons are certainly out and about in Poway, Debi explained another reason you may have met them. “There’s six degrees or less of Johnsons because you can’t go anywhere without someone knowing a member of our huge extended family,” she laughed. ¢

COACH WAYNE BRANSTETTER LEADS POWAY STUDENTS TO SUCCESS photos provided by Poway Wrestling
W
hen Wayne Branstetter took over the Poway High School Wrestling program in 1978, he didn’t expect to be there thirtysix years later. “At the time I had no intention to stay very long,” he explained. “However, like a good farmer I put my head down and started ‘plowing.’ In 1982 we won our first state championship and we haven’t looked back since.” If you do look back, you’ll see a whole lot of success stories, including thirty-four CIF championships, four state championships, four state runner-ups, and twenty-four years placing in the top five of all California wrestling teams. Wayne’s current dual meet record is 436 wins, six losses, and two ties over his forty-two-year coaching career. “It is an ever-changing world and even though we’ve attained a strong status at the state and national level, we can never rest,” said Wayne. “Each year starts at zero and we have to climb back up the mountain all over again.” Wayne is the first to emphasize that what happens off the court is more important than the moments on the mat. When asked what his coaching philosophy was, he explained, “To make young men champions in life. I simply use the platform of wrestling to etch positive life values into their hearts and souls.” He strives to teach his athletes that integrity, commitment, and hard work will make them better members of the community beyond high school. “Wrestling is ninety-five percent a mental sport,” shared student

athlete Colt Doyle, who won his division at the 2014 CIF State Championship. “You can’t let negative thoughts creep into your head. You need to tell yourself to ‘tough it up’ – once you stop feeling sorry for yourself, that’s when you make your biggest progress.” The program starts imparting these values early with the Poway Slammers Kids Wrestling Club, geared towards younger local students. Current Titan Manny Lair started in the Slammers program, which he credits for making wrestling fun and teaching him the basic skills. More recently, he’s been putting those basic skills to more advanced uses, winning 8th in his division at the 2014 CIF State Championship. Both Colt and Manny agree that they love the team camaraderie, especially at tournaments where teammates gather around their mat to cheer them on. They take wrestling very seriously and strive to be examples for younger teammates, just as Coach Wayne and previous stars set examples for them. ¢

Managing Holiday Stress FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU COPE by LEIGH VAN VRANKEN, MD; Scripps Clinic, Rancho Bernardo
The countdown to the holiday season has started, and while most of us look forward to enjoying the festivities, heightened demands and the pressure to “do it all” often bring unwelcome stress. Shopping, baking, parties, and volunteering can throw you into a dizzying whirl of activity that can wreak havoc on your health and emotional well-being. This year, take a deep breath and try these practical tips to minimize stress and enjoy the fun.
1. Feel free to say no. Don’t overbook yourself. Fitting in family obligations, school holiday events, and finding the perfect gifts can seem overwhelming on top of an already busy schedule. Look at your to-do list and decide what you “must” do versus “want” to do. You may need to cross off a few items, but that will give you time to rest and recharge.
2. Spend time with people you care about. Connecting with family and friends is important, and it doesn’t have to be elaborate. Have a potluck get-together with neighbors and watch old movies. Maybe bake holiday treats with the kids. Consider decorating the Christmas tree with nostalgic ornaments, or eating latkes after lighting the Chanukah menorah. Or keep it simple and catch up over a cup of your favorite holiday beverage.

3. Make healthy choices. While the holidays are infamous for calorie-laden treats, that doesn’t mean you have to give up altogether on healthy eating. By all means, enjoy the tastes of the season, but if you overeat one or two days, make sure you quickly get back into your healthy routine and maintain good eating habits. If you feel you won’t be able to cheat a little, then take a step back from the buffet table and load up on salads with one or two goodies. Remember to drink lots of water and limit alcohol consumption.
4. Stay active. Exercising every day, whether you walk your dog, run on the beach, or take a yoga class, will help you stay calm during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Prolonged physical activity releases endorphins, brain chemicals that act as natural pain and stress relievers, so your aerobics class is the last thing you should skip.
5. Get enough sleep. Trying to maintain a hectic holiday schedule can make it challenging to get enough sleep, but those necessary hours of shut-eye help you stay alert and have enough energy to enjoy the season. ¢

Candy Cane Lane in 92064
As the days get longer, San Diegans like to light up the night and celebrate the season. Decorating homes with strings of lights is a popular tradition across the country, but some neighborhoods take it to the next level. Entire streets of extravagant displays attract visitors from all over town – but not everyone knows where the best neighborhoods are. Luckily Powegians don’t have to go far to find the festivities, because one of the best-known holiday hotspots is right here in 92064. Hickory Ct., Butterwood Ct., and Rockrose Ct., all off of Twin Peaks Rd. and Silverset St., have earned the popular name of Candy Cane Lane for their impressive lighting. The streets get crowded, so consider parking the car and enjoying the lights on a leisurely stroll. Displays typically go up in early December and stay up through Christmas, but schedules are subject to change.
Girl Scouts Give Back
The Blue Sky Service Unit, which serves Girl Scout troops across Poway, recently wrapped up two different donations drives. The first was a drive for baby clothes and other items to be presented to the first girl born on Oct. 31 at Pomerado Hospital, in honor of Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday. Low founded Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912. Gathering gifts for the first girl born on that day is a yearly tradition for troops and service units across the country. The service unit also collected gifts for Operation Stuff-A-Stocking, a project through which donated items are packed in stockings and sent to deployed military members. Operation Stuff-A-Stocking was first started in 2009 by Sammy Lizarraga, a Poway Girl Scout working on her Silver Award. Her older brother was deployed to the Middle East, and Christmas without him inspired her to begin the project. Blue Sky Service Unit has continued the drive in the years since.

Chargers Jewelry for a Cause
Game-day wear doesn’t just mean jerseys and face paint these days. Chargers Safety Eric Weddle has joined forces with local jewelry designers to create a Chargers-themed jewelry line, with a portion of the proceeds donated to battered women’s charities. Patrick Pickford, along with colleagues Gerly Noland and Danielle Greisen, was excited to start the project. “Eric is a very good friend of mine,” said Patrick. “It seemed like a perfect fit for us to collaborate on a Chargers-themed jewelry line in support of the cause and donate to those in need.” They plan to continue the collaboration with accessory items for men too. Eric and the designers say they have been overwhelmed by the support from the fans and the community response. “It means everything to give back to the community and those in need,” said Eric. For more information visit www.evolutionlighthouse.com.
Boys & Girls Clubs Receive Grants
The CarMax Foundation recently announced more than $15,000 in grants to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego (BGCGSD) this year. Over the past four years the foundation has provided over $50,000 to BGCGSD – the funds have supported initiatives like the Project Learn academic enhancement program, the SOAR S.T.E.M. educational programs, holiday celebrations, and donation drives. Chris Petersen, the location general manager at the Ontario CarMax, is a former Boys & Girls Club member and currently a member of the board of directors. He shared, “The Club recognized my desire to do more as they continue to give support, direction, and academic success to local youth.” BGCGSD President and CEO Danny Sherlock expressed gratitude for the grants, saying, “We thank and appreciate Chris and the CarMax Foundation for their support. The funds and volunteer efforts will continue to help us change the lives of youth throughout San Diego County.” For more about BGCGSD visit www.sdyouth.org.
Girls Basketball Team 2nd in SoCal
The Titans Girls Basketball club’s 5th grade team was recently ranked the second best team in Southern California by the Girls Basketball Federation. Coach Daryl Ravani attributes his team’s success to their hard work and good sportsmanship. “I love the way they share the ball,” said Daryl. “They really do not care who gets the points.” The team plays year-round, and Daryl explained that the most improvement comes during the summer when the team practices five days a week. The girls are happy to put in the hours. Daryl said, “I always tell the girls that this is their team. They decide what we will become by how hard they work.” The combination of hard work and a positive attitude takes the Titans from San Diego to Palm Springs, Orange County, and Las Vegas. Daryl shared, “It is important for us to test ourselves against the best girls.” For more information about the club, including membership questions, call Daryl at 858-842-4286.

Retirement Nonprofit Awards Employees
Casa de las Campanas, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community, recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Employee Scholarship program. Casa was founded by a group of retired teachers as a facility for other retired teachers. It now hosts residents from all professions but maintains its commitment to education. This year, thirtyone employees each received a $2,500 scholarship award to further their education and improve their professional skills. Since its founding, Casa has awarded over $870,000 in scholarships donated by Casa residents and established endowments. Employees receiving the awards included many young people in the food service department who are attending college, as well as a number of health care employees who are seeking advanced nursing degrees. Employees from other departments such as human resources are also working towards more advanced certifications. As Scholarship Committee Co-Chairs Tom Adikes and Sonny Googins shared, “Casa is very proud of its tradition to assist its employees as a thank you for their excellent care and performance.”
Senior Volunteers Wanted
Want to do something fun and rewarding in your community? Seniors Helping Our Kids (SHOK), an organization that places volunteers in Poway Unified School District (PUSD) schools with students to tutor reading, is currently seeking volunteers. SHOK is an all-volunteer organization that has been serving PUSD for over twenty years. Each year the organization places about 175 volunteers with schools in the district. Tutors are trained to offer enjoyable reading and writing activities that build reading and comprehension skills, confidence, and motivation. Volunteers can pick the amount of time and day that they’d like to volunteer for and no special background training is necessary. Volunteers are also given the option of choosing which school they would like to work with. Currently, the organization needs volunteers for Pomerado Elementary and Valley Elementary Schools. For more information about how you can get involved contact Jane Radatz at jradatz@att.net or call 858-485-5449.
TPMS Students Skype Taylor Swift
A group of 7th and 8th graders at Twin Peaks Middle School (TPMS) got to Skype with Taylor Swift recently as part of Scholastic’s Open a World of Possible campaign. “Taylor Swift held a Skype call with my students for about an hour, and they were thrilled when she spoke to us directly,” shared Tiffany Daher, a TPMS English teacher. TPMS was one of two schools video chatting into an in-person conversation between Taylor and a small group of children from across the country, with topics ranging from literacy to feminism. “She talked about what inspires her, and how she grew up journaling, writing, and working through her tough middle school years. One of the biggest takeaways was that she was so down to earth and related to the students,” said Tiffany. “The students kept saying how she seemed like one of their friends.” See the filmed conversation including the TPMS students at www.scholastic.com/taylorswift.
City Hosts Conservation Classes
The City of Poway recently hosted two free water conservation classes taught by Candace Vanderhoff of RainThanks & Greywater. The first class, Greywater Reuse, taught participants how to install a greywater system that diverts greywater from their showers and laundry machines to their landscaping. Greywater is wastewater from a shower, bathroom sink, washing machine, or laundry tubs only, which can be diverted with customized plumbing to irrigate vegetation. The second class was titled Rainwater Harvesting and demonstrated how to capture and reuse rainwater, including advice on selecting, installing, and using rain barrels. Rainwater harvesting not only saves water but also reduces polluted run-off to the ocean and rivers. Three participants won a free rain barrel. With much of the state under severe drought, rainwater and greywater can be used to conserve resources and reduce bills. Learn more about the City of Poway’s water conservation efforts at www.poway.org/waterconservation.
A Brother’s Journey Premiere
This year’s San Diego Film Festival kicked off with the world premiere screening of Chelsea’s Light: A Brother’s Journey at the Reading Cinemas Gaslamp theater. Written and produced by Tyler King, the documentary tells the story of his experience coping with his sister’s murder while raising awareness about violence against children across the nation. Two-time Emmy Award-winning director Bruce Caulk joined the project as director and producer. Bruce, Tyler, and the rest of the King family were present for the premiere. The beautifully produced film gripped the sold-out theater with its heart-wrenching story – by the end of the film, there were few dry eyes left in the audience. The screening concluded with a question and answer session with Bruce and the Kings, followed by a rooftop afterparty with a silent auction and hors d’oeuvres at the Andaz hotel. To learn more about the documentary and the Chelsea’s Light Foundation visit www.chelseaslight.org.

an Diego’s brewing scene is booming these days, and we in North County are lucky enough to experience the best of the boom right here in our own communities. Craft breweries, also known as microbreweries, are independently owned and produce small amounts of beer, al-
lowing for higher quality and greater individualization than traditional breweries. Perhaps nowhere is this industry growing faster than in San Diego, which has become a beer-drinker’s dream destination – and not just for the beaches any more. Local breweries have been stepping into the international spotlight with their award-winning beers. The industry’s exhilarating growth shows no sign of slowing down. In celebration of the 6th Annual San Diego Beer Week last month, we’re excited to offer an insider’s look at the best breweries North County has to offer. The craft brewers we speak to have a huge variety of differences in technique and taste, but they all share a deep-rooted passion for their products. We invite you to read along and see what the buzz is all about.

REFINED COMFORTS ABNORMAL WINE COMPANY EXPANDS WITH NEW BREWERY, RESTAURANT, AND WINERY
H
AT-A-GLANCE
ave you ever been intimidated while brew or wine tasting because you’re surrounded by snooty “experts” who make you feel inferior? North County’s Abnormal Company has built their business around dismantling that attitude. Co-Owners Matthew DeLoach, Elvin Lai, and James Malone, friends and fellow Poway High School graduates, have made their urban brew and wine industry business – which now includes a new beer brewery, restaurant, and expanded winery – approachable, friendly, and fun! The owners are especially excited about their newly opened restaurant, The Cork & Craft. James shared, “We all love good food, and there’s nothing quite like a delicious meal paired with a glass of wine or craft beer. We are so excited that this adventure has now led us into the action-packed craft beer and restaurant worlds!” New partner Elvin Lai, who also owns and operates Pacific Beach’s Ocean Park Inn, added, “We’ve brought together a fantastic team of talented chefs, experienced staff and an excellent head brewer to complement the wine experience. We’re proud to deliver a dining experience that really speaks for itself.” The restaurant’s mission is to elevate the concept of comfort food to a gourmet experience, and an important part of that process

is pairing their elegant dishes with just the right brews. They offer forty-one beers on tap, including some local San Diego favorites. One way Abnormal Company has made its business more accessible is by adding a glass-walled brewery, open kitchen and, of course, the winery on the premises. This remodel, which launched with a grand opening on Sept. 18, has expanded the previous 1,500 square foot location into one measuring in at over 5,000 square feet! James proclaimed, “By knocking down all of the walls we created an environment that enables our guests to see everything going on at all times. We wanted to give our guests a more dynamic experience, and let them appreciate both process and product.” Abnormal Company is also proud to soon bring its customers house-produced beers. Their glass-enclosed brewery is expected to be up and running by the end of the year. Abnormal Company intends to brew during restaurant hours to provide customers with a sense of artistry and display of their craft. According to Co-Owner Matthew, the company’s beer will be “gluten-reduced, flavorful enough to sit gently on the palate, and will pair perfectly with fare offered by The Cork & Craft.” As The Cork & Craft’s mission is to elevate the concept of comfort food to a gourmet experience, this new brewery will encourage customers to think a little more about what they are drinking, try out new beer and food pairings, and dare to step out into the abnormal. Committed to servicing the greater community, Abnormal frequently hosts and contributes towards charitable events such as Rady Children’s Hospital and the Civic Youth Orchestra. “We aim to establish a solid relationship with those working for worthwhile causes in our area,” James revealed. “There’s nothing abnormal about that!”

F
or Ph.D-level Biochemist Jim Crute, science is second nature – and so is brewing beer. When he made the switch in his professional life to start up Lightning Brewery, it seemed like a natural transition. The brewery was founded as a small artisanal brewery and remains that way today, only now with its beers available in over 300 local restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. His science background inspires him to discover innovative brewing methods. “Our flagship beer Thunderweizen Ale is crafted with a very timeconsuming and very hard-to-emulate process of decoction mashing,” said Jim. “This method enhances the body of the finished beer, dramatically improving taste, impression, and enjoyment.” Methods like this are what make Lightning Brewery so unique. “We are the first and, to my knowledge, only brewery in San Diego County that uses this process,” he noted. Lightning Brewery has earned dozens of regional and national awards. “In 2012 our seasonal beer Old Tempestuous Ale won the Best of Show award at the California State Fair,” shared Jim. “We take that award as having the best beer in California that year.” Lightning Brewery is located at 13200 Kirkham Way in Poway. For more information visit www.lightningbrewery.com or call 858-513-8070.

d O’Sullivan credits his family’s Irish heritage and California creativity for the success of O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co. He and his brothers – Rob, Charlie, Jon, and Paul – formed the company in the spring of 2013. Ed, coming from a background in the biotech and finance industries, earned a professional brewer’s certificate at the University of California, San
Diego (UCSD) to prepare for running a brewery that combines science and artistry. “Our approach is to create thoughtful and cleverly constructed artisan craft ales and lagers that stimulate the palate and arouse the senses,” said Ed. “We will use science to control, monitor, and make intelligent decisions about our recipes and brewing process. We will respect tradition but pursue

innovation and keep our thoughts and processes open to creativity.” “We currently offer six beers, a wonderful refreshing West Coast pale ale, a nice delicate amber ale, a new-to-San Diego brown porter, a smoked porter, and a sweet stout,” he explained. “We are also planning to produce a red ale and an imperial stout, which will be available in January.” Further ahead, the brewery is also planning a number of special bottle releases for St. Patrick’s Day. When asked the overall philosophy behind O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co., Ed had only one answer: “Quality, quality, quality. In everything we do.” That quality is the result of caring and commitment from everyone involved with the company. “All our employees are part time and are passionate about brewing,” shared Ed. “Almost all of them are in the UCSD professional brewing certificate program.” O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co. is located at 9879 Hibert St. Suite F, San Diego, CA 92131. Visit www.osullivan-brothers.com to learn more.

But after The Barrel Room started thriving, the guys knew it was time to expand. “We really wanted to do something different,” explained Nate. “The idea of burgers and beer just kind of seemed obvious,” added Grant. Urge opened in July 2010, and has since shone as an American reinterpretation of the classic English pub, with an emphasis on local products and great service.

The economic contribution of craft brewers is more than 1 ½ times greater than the economic impact of Comic-Con International, San Diego’s largest annual convention. Since 2011, the total number of craft breweries in the region has more than doubled. The largest craft brewing event in the region is San Diego Beer Week, which features more than 500 events and lasts from early to mid-November. Beer Week brings more than 20,000 participants to San Diego County.

stablished in 2013 by Rancho Peñasquitos resident Alex Van Horne, Intergalactic Brewing Company has quickly set itself apart as an artisanal small batch brewing company. According to Alex, the brewing company has crafted well over eighty varieties of beer in just their first eighteen months alone. It is this innovation, along with the company’s “never give up and never surrender” attitude and motto “to boldly brew,” that’s greatly benefited their craft. With signature brews such as their awardwinning Coconut Porter, That’s No Moon Triple IPA, and their most popular beer, Andromeda IPA – their fruity and citrusy twist of a San Diego IPA – the brewing company is not afraid to experiment with new ingredients and recipes. “Our uniqueness comes from our dedication to exploring flavors and new styles,” explained Alex. Intergalactic Brewing Company is constantly experimenting with new flavors; however one thing is certain not to waver: their involvement with their community. “We [maintain this by] brewing small batches of passionately crafted beer for our community and getting involved with local beer festivals that are put on by nonprofit organizations,” shared Alex.

allast Point was born in the back room of Home Brew Mart, a supply store for home brewers owned by Jack White. In 1996, he teamed up with fellow home brewer Yuseff Cherney for a homegrown venture that would grow into the Ballast Point Brewery known and loved by San Diegans today. Ballast Point outgrew the back room and moved to its current Scripps Ranch location in 2004. Their efforts have produced internationally recognized results. At this year’s World Beer Cup, Ballast Point won a Gold Medal in the International Pale Ale Category for their Sculpin IPA, as well as a Bronze in the Aged Beer Category for their 2012 Aged Navigator Doppelbock. The name Ballast Point and the names of most of their beers come from Jack and Yuseff’s other passion – fishing. The team takes this passion very seriously, and the business’ two award-winning sport fishing teams have proved that in competition. In addition to mastering the arts of brewing and fishing, Jack and Yuseff have begun exploring the ancient craft of distilling. Seven Ballast Point spirits are now made and bottled at the same Scripps Ranch location. Check out www.ballastpoint.com for more.

PARADING
AROUND SAN DIEGO Local Traditions Keep the Holiday Cheer Alive
S
by LAINEY KRAL
an Diegans may not experience classic white winters, but we still know how to celebrate the season. In fact, our sunny weather makes December an even better time to take our holiday cheer to the streets. From people to pets and from shore to sea, San Diego has a parade perfect for everyone. Head to North Park on Dec. 6 for the 51st Annual North Park Toyland Parade, a local tradition that dates back to 1936 and was reborn in the late 1980s. Every year, University Ave. fills with marching bands, dance teams, beauty queens, local dignitaries, and community members eager to strut their stuff. Special guests include the new Queen of the North Park Toyland Parade and Santa Claus himself. You won’t want to leave Toyland, and you won’t have to – the Toyland Festival will prolong the magic with pony rides, inflatables, food trucks, and live musical performances. Parades aren’t just for people, and your fourlegged friends can join the fun in the Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade on Dec. 14. Dress up in your holiday best and promenade through the historic Gaslamp Quarter with a bevy of other celebrants, starting and ending at the Gaslamp Hilton Park. Awards are available in categories such as Best Pet Costume, Cutest Critter, and Ugliest Holiday Sweater. Pets and their human chaperones will get a free bag of goodies at the accompanying Pet Expo. San Diego is known as a surf and turf hotspot, and the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights keeps the holiday spirit afloat – literally! On Dec. 14 and 21, over eighty illuminated boats will proceed from Shelter Island past Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, and Ferry Landing in Coronado. Participants will bedeck their boats in lights and decorations according to this year’s theme of “Children’s Stories”. Various award categories are judged on creativity of lighting, music, and other special effects. Whether sailing your own boat or camping out on the shore, watch the water come alive with light and sound. ¢

Passion to Perform
YOUNG 92064 RESIDENT SHARES HIS LONGTIME LOVE OF THE STAGE
F
ifteen-year-old Poway High School student Trevor Haumschilt enjoys drawing, participating in business seminars, volunteering at the Valley Elementary Homework Club, and helping with worship at The Rock: Coastal Hills, but his main passion is theater. He already has a long history onstage, having started theater in the 4th grade. He has participated in eleven shows and is currently working on his twelfth – favorite roles have included Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, and Mal Beineke in The Addams Family. “Theater is such a perfect way for me to let my emotions free, and that’s what I love about it,” he shared. “The feeling you get when you are on the stage is indescribable, and the rush you get once it’s over is unforgettable.” Trevor was recently awarded a Matthew Herriman Scholarship by Christian Youth Theater (CYT) San Diego. Also known as the Matty Award, the scholarship goes towards theater class tuition for a student of excellent character. “Trevor was a unanimous choice for this award,” shared Katrina DeRoche, CYT Area Coordinator. “He is so joyful and kind, and he works so hard.” The scholarship was established in memory of former CYT student and teacher Matthew Herriman. His latest role is in Poway High School’s production of All Shook Up. Trevor explained, “I am the main role, Chad, who is a good-looking, guitarplaying, leather-jacketing roustabout who comes into a small town and shows them the wonders of the music of the ‘50s.” The musical will run Feb. 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 – visit www.powayusd.com/pusdphs for more information. ¢

All Shook Up D
ancing, romance, and a big comedic twist. Poway High School’s music department is in the process of recreating the Broadway musical All Shook Up. The musical takes place in the 1950s in a small midwestern town and is full of music from the King of Rock-and-Roll, Elvis Presley. Preparation for the musical began way back in October when auditions and call-backs occurred, and the practice and planning are still ongoing. Cast members rehearse two to four times each week depending on how demanding their roles are. One of the lead cast members,
Rebecca Dhillon, stated that the most rewarding part about participating in the musical is “how it brings together a group of people who share a common passion to create something truly wonderful.” However, the actors aren’t the only crucial part of the musical – the stage crew is a team of about ten individuals who work to ensure that the show flows flawlessly. The stage manager, Andrew Stearns, explained that stage crew is in charge of the “lights, props, backdrops, and anything else that happens when the lights turn off between scenes.” According to Andrew, the crew’s work begins
44 • 92064Magazine.com • December 2014 | January 2015
late January when they “spend four to five hours a night with the actors for two weeks refining their backstage plan.” All this preparation leads to the first show which premieres the first week of February. I encourage everyone to go out and witness an incredible show put on by our talented and hard-working Poway Titans. ¢

LYDIA VELARDE SHARES HER PASSION WITH FELLOW SKETCHERS
L
ydia Velarde has lived with her family in Poway for over twenty-five years. “I love going to Old Poway Park and attending the events there,” she said. The old-country atmosphere makes it a perfect location for Lydia to practice one of her biggest passions: sketching. She has been an artist since she started copying the Sunday comics as a child, but truly developed sketching into a habit when a professor told her class to draw daily. “I took his suggestion to heart and now have over sixty filled sketchbooks dating back to 1974,” she said. For Lydia, sketching has a meditative quality that she values. “I also like that my sketches and sketchbooks provide a visual journal of where or who I was with,” she continued. As the founder of the San Diego Chapter of Urban Sketchers, Lydia invites other locals to share her love of sketching. She organizes meetups across town for artists to sit together, sketch their surroundings, and share their sketches with the rest of the group. “Many times we ask each other questions about materials and techniques and learn from each other,” said Lydia. The meetup group is one and a half years old and now boasts 280 members. Some are seasoned artists, while others are newer to the practice. Lydia shared, “I have also had the pleasure of seeing beginners, who were afraid to sketch in public, get better at their drawing and lose the fear of sketching in front of others.” To learn more visit www.urbansketcherssandiego.blogspot.com. ¢

We believe orthodontic treatment should be available to everyone.” – Dr. Kim
ORTHODONTICS FOR ALL CARMEL PLAZA ORTHODONTICS KEEPS PATIENTS SMILING FOR A LIFETIME by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Tyler McElhaney
In
2005, a storefront opened in Carmel Mountain Plaza shopping center with a slightly different mission than most of its neighbors. This shop is in the business of healthy smiles. Keeping the community’s teeth healthy and functional for a lifetime is the mission of Carmel Plaza Orthodontics. Many may not realize that orthodontics goes far beyond straightening crooked teeth. Crowded teeth, which can be difficult to clean, increase the chances of cavities, and misaligned teeth create a non-functional bite, causing greater wear and tear. Gum tissue can also be negatively impacted by poorly aligned teeth. Dr. Rafail, owner of Carmel Plaza Orthodontics, shared his motivation for opening the shop: “To provide the best orthodontic treatment to our patients, to respect their desire for better health and self-improvement, and to be ethically and morally professional in all of our practice.” This motivation culminates in an experience of “exceptional treatment with unconditional care, kindness, and respect,” stated the practice’s orthodontist, Dr. Kim. Braces, commonly associated with the teenage years, have proven to pay off for all ages. In fact, 40% of their patients are between the ages of 18 and 70. “We believe
orthodontic treatment should be available to everyone,” acknowledged Dr. Kim. The initial consultation is free, and the team is sensitive to work with every patient’s budget. The design of their office and treatments are critical elements of meeting their mission. The convenient location, the sports themed office, and the latest technology ensure the best quality of care. And the team is an integral part of this equation. Dr. Rafail has been in private practice in San Diego since 1990. Dr. Kim, an alumnus of Rancho Bernado High School, returned to San Diego after earning his doctoral degree from University of California San Francisco and training at Columbia University. Office
Manager Ezzie Diaz is also a San Diego native who strives to make every patient feel like part of the family. The entire staff at Carmel Plaza Orthodontics is working towards the same goal – to create a “comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience,” said Dr. Kim. Orthodontics is a lifetime investment in a healthy mouth. “As orthodontics specialists, we are concerned not only with teeth alignment, but with the growth, health, and well-being of each patient,” stated Dr. Kim. At Carmel Plaza Orthodontics, the team, the treatment options, and the comprehensive care ensure that every patient walks away with a beautiful smile. ¢

rom a young age Sue Herndon was taught to help others. Inspired by her mother who “exemplified giving back,” Sue has successfully led a meaningful life through volunteering for organizations that help the special needs community. “My focus after years of PTA, Chamber of Commerce, and Palomar/Pomerado hospital support is now on our special needs community and bringing meaningful programs to children and adults who are less fortunate,” explained Sue. “Becoming involved with special organizations is so appreciated and makes such a difference in the lives of so many.”

Sue is also the Fundraising Chair for Jack-O-Smash – an event that benefits persons with disabilities. “In November of 2014 the JackO-Smash group made a huge difference, through a 5K, 1K, and Family Festival, to bring attention to our special needs community,” said Sue. “Next year we look forward to an even bigger race and event.” Sue is also Chair of the Poway City Host Committee for Special Olympians, with an event set to take place this July. “We will have ongoing fundraising
events to bring our community opportunities to support this magnificent event,” noted Sue. Aside from her volunteer work, Sue is a business owner. She has three grown children (triplets!) – a son, who is her partner in business, and two daughters, who both teach for the Poway Unified School District. She is also “Nana” to six grandchildren. As for her future volunteer plans, Sue replied, “My future commitment is my mission to build housing and a center for special needs adults to foster and encourage their continued development and the ability to live meaningful lives in our community.” ¢

Mostess The Hostess
with the
Guidelines for the Holidays
by TORI MORRISON
I
f you have been chosen to host this year's Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve cocktail party, you've been given one of the best gifts of the holiday season – the chance to share this special time of the year with your loved ones and transform it into an unforgettable occasion. In today's fast-paced society, it can be difficult
to sit down and start planning for the holidays, but it's also a time to embrace that challenge and transform a holiday party into the holiday event of the year. Don't fret, we are here to help you slip into those hostess with the mostess shoes with the ease and grace of a seasoned professional. Here are some tips, tricks, and ideas that guarantee your guests will have a good time this holiday season.
Preparations
Party Time
1. Fancy touches
1. Choose the mood
• Crystal dishes make a great impression, even if they are filled with appetizers you took straight out of the bag. • Play with the center pieces. Accents, including wood, pine cones, ornaments, and candles, offer much more than a traditional bouquet of flowers.
• Always remember that the mood or vibe you give off are what set the tone of the party.
2. Introduce other guests
• It adds to the ambiance, contributes to conversation, and makes everyone feel more comfortable.
• Encourage others to embrace it too and make sure your topics are inclusive.
2. Perfect that playlist
• You’ve brought everyone you love to celebrate this special occasion so make sure they get to know one another.
3. Embrace conversation
3. Love those lists
4. Snap away
• Keep a to-do list on hand or stick Post-it notes around the house to remind you of tasks you need to complete before guests arrive.
• Take photos of the event... heck, take a video! You can use them to review what ended up being successful and what could be improved upon. This will stop you from repeating dishes and let you know which friends get along well.
4. Food selection
• Some of your friends will have special dietary needs, others are just really picky. With food it’s best to stick with simple and delicious. It’s also important to remember your vegan friends and ensure you have fare they will enjoy too.
5. Don’t dirty the dishwasher
• Unload that helpful machine to prepare for the dirty dishes ahead.
52 • 92064Magazine.com • December 2014 | January 2015
5. Be gracious
• Thank your guests for coming by handing out party favors. Not only will this make them feel special, it’s also a great way to end the evening on a positive note. ¢

itizens for SWAT celebrated a decade of fundraising fun with their 10th Annual SWAT Golf Tournament. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, San Diego Police Department Chief Shelley Zimmerman, and San Diego SWAT Commanding Officer Mark Saunders were among the attendees at a day filled with refreshments and great golf. After putting down the golf clubs – and the displayed equipment – participants joined for a demonstration and dinner. With the latest tournament, Citizens for SWAT cleared the $1,000,000 mark for total funds raised over the years. Citizens for SWAT began in 2005 with the purpose of protecting the individuals who protect the rest of the community by providing up-to-date equipment for the San Diego SWAT team, ranging from trauma kits to robots with cameras. The team includes up to 100 members and much of their equipment is used and outdated. To learn more visit www.sdswat.org. ¢

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
3rd Quarter Slow Down Turns into 4th Quarter Boom!
T
he first half of 2014 proved to be very strong for real estate in San Diego. Homes were only lasting a few days on the market, often receiving multiple offers and over-asking price sales! We attribute this to families moving from and into different school districts along with homes appreciating after the long downturn, which saw sellers listing homes at an increasing rate. However, why the sudden stop in sales? Quite frankly no one knows, but we speculate on some of the obvious signs. Buyers found their homes earlier than usual while sellers saw the increase in their home values and decided to sell. Summertime typically marks a heightened home buying season, and once the dust settled most people elected to enjoy the splendid San Diego summer and the fun that comes with it! Meanwhile, several sellers either missed the market surge or had their homes priced out of reach. This fact contributed to a slowdown in sales. The slowdown in the third quarter had sellers rethinking their pricing and gradually lowering their price. We hit the fourth quarter with a flood of price reductions, and,
coupled with new inventory, it was off to the races! The market growth continues to rise as interest rates remain low... buyers are back! “With the election cycle behind us and 2015 well within sight, it’s a good time to start assessing how the market is shaping up. Inventory levels are finally rising in many areas and demand is still strong in most segments.” – Excerpt from San Diego Association of Realtors
