History For over 100 years, long before being identiied as “South Centre City,” the plan area played a central role in Escondido’s economy and community. South Escondido Boulevard, formerly named Nutmeg Street, served as the city’s primary north-south access through Escondido south to San Diego. With its rich mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses, the area was a thriving neighborhood that offered diverse shopping, employment and housing opportunities.

The now famous Del’s Barber Shop opened in 1959 at 650 South Escondido Boulevard, and the Escondido institution is one of the few businesses along the corridor from that era that is still open and going strong. Other notable businesses sprung up along the corridor in the 1980s, including Peterson’s Donut Corner (903 S. Escondido Blvd.) and Lourdes Mexican Food (650 S. Escondido Blvd.). Like Del’s, they are the exception in having survived over the decades to become Escondido institutions. Ultimately, factors like the construction of Centre City Parkway caused development to move away from Escondido Boulevard as land use patterns turned to more auto-oriented development.

Envision South Centre City City Engages Community to Create the South Centre City Speciic Plan

By Michelle Geller

Over the past two years, city staff has been working to develop a plan to spur revitalization of the South Escondido Boulevard corridor and its surrounding areas. Funded by a $172,754 Strategic Growth Council grant awarded through the California Department of Conservation, the South Centre City Speciic Plan creates new zoning standards and design guidelines to ensure that future development in the area is attractive, functional and livable.

The South Centre City area is rich in history, is in close proximity to downtown and has great potential for redevelopment. The city’s General Plan identiies it as a future growth area. In developing the South Centre City Speciic Plan, city staff took an updated and tailored approach to planning and growth with the purpose of delivering a more dynamic, attractive community-based setting with greater choices and opportunities for current and future residents and businesses.

Community Outreach Last summer, the City of Escondido began an outreach effort called “Envision South Centre City,” (the second phase of outreach, building on the irst phase that was conducted in 2015 and 2016). Knowing that community buy-in would be crucial to the success of the plan, the purpose of “Envision” was to engage residents, businesses and other community stakeholders on the plan’s development. A website was established to keep the public informed about the plan and opportunities for input, and community meetings were held that included vision boards and other materials to communicate how the plan could potentially affect future development in a positive way.

In a unique twist on the community engagement process, city staff conducted a visioning exercise with 5th grade students at Central Elementary School, which sits adjacent to the plan area. The activity helped the students learn about city government and the process by which land use decisions are made. Given that the majority of the over 100 students who participated live in or near the plan area, it was an opportunity for them to provide input on city policies that directly affect them and their families. Students’ artwork from the visioning exercise is featured in the plan.

• January 9, 2018: Planning Commission recommends approval of draft plan with minor changes • January 22, 2018: Updated draft plan, incorporating Planning Commission changes, released for public review • March 21, 2018: South Centre City Speciic Plan approved by the City Council Looking to the Future The approved South Centre City Area Plan effectively established a link between policies outlined in the city’s General Plan and the future individual development proposals within the South Centre City planning area. The plan brings detailed standards into a focused development scheme to improve community health, safety, sustainability and economic prosperity, while respecting the unique character of South Centre City.

“The South Centre City Speciic Plan should ensure higher quality developments and also reinforce the context of the surrounding area,” said Mike Strong, Assistant Planning Director who is leading the project. “We’re recommending (development) be compatible with other designs from downtown (Escondido) to the gateway.”

Notable new projects completed, planned or underway in the South Centre City Area include: • Haven76, located at 2414 South Escondido Boulevard, a 76-unit complex leasing one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments featuring a pool, itness center and other amenities.

• Citron, located at 2516 South Escondido Boulevard, under construction, offering 63 for-sale condominium units in the spring/summer of 2019.

Timeline • August 15, 2017: Release of the “Envision South Centre City” Public Participation Plan for Phase 2 of the project

LithoMosaic® Star Streams at The California Center for the Arts, Escondido is a U.S. Museum First

By Lisa B. Martin

“I think of LithoMosaics as 21st century petroglyphs - a modern day graphic that tells a powerful story. They enrich the everyday experience, and in surprising places for art to be showcased and occur.” Steve Lang, Principal, MIG In the cold dawn of December 4, 2017 something very big was happening at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Men and women in bright safety vests, steel-toed boots and hard hats cheerfully greeted each other. Trucks of all sorts were backed up in the parking lot and loading area. Heavy water hoses and electrical supply cables were uncoiled. Masonry power tools were

set at hand. More than two dozen people bustled about on an important and fun mission: to witness and install - in one single day - a 128 square foot mosaic threshold at the museum’s entry. And all had to be done perfectly so the museum could re-open the next day. The team was setting in place a remarkable gift of LithoMosaic® public art.

As the morning progressed, work crews, artists, and CCAE staff moved about in synchronized eficiency, a concrete truck hummed and pumped, and the tools of craftsmen scraped and smoothed. CCAE Executive Director Jerry Van Leeuwen even made sure the crew had access to a break room, with a generous supply of coffee and Peter-

A National Museum First The miracle that unfolded last December was even larger than the 128 square feet of beautiful glass, porcelain and gold tiles that were assembled off-site at Brailsford Public Art’s Dulzura, CA studio. Made by hand from concept to install-ready in a record three weeks, it was rolled up and transported to the Shaw team of master craftsmen, led

by Javier Garcia, who installed it in four sections, upside down, into six inches of wet concrete, in half a day. While there are dozens of unique LithoMosaics installed across the U.S. in more than 25 states, the CCAE is the irst of six museums across the nation that Brailsford is working with in her series COLD CALL: Museum as Muse. son’s Donuts. Visiting artists lew in from Arizona and Colorado to witness the installation, and to hone their own understanding of the unique and powerful public art process that is LithoMosaic. By noon, the mission was accomplished – a synchronized dance of wellhoned craftsmanship, vision, and pride of place and art.

The stunning LithoMosaic titled Star Streams/Threshold Tessellation is now a permanent, exterior public artwork at the art museum’s main entrance. It serves as a vibrant welcoming waypoint for 300,000 annual visitors to the CCAE. Star Streams was created by lead artist and LithoMosaic co-inventor Robin Brailsford and her partner Wick Alexander of Brailsford Public Art, and collaborating artist Doris Bittar. All three are members of Public Address, and Star Streams is a precursor to the Public Address exhibition opening at the CCAE in September, 2018. The exhibition will celebrate over 20 years of San Diego County public artists making a big difference in the public art scene regionally and nationally.

Collaboration Made this Gift Happen For Star Streams, the artists donated their ideas, design, materials and fabrication. Ron Shaw of Shaw and Sons Concrete Company of Costa Mesa contributed all the concrete and over 100 man-hours, with installation support from T.B. Penick & Sons of San Diego. City maintenance crews also partnered on the project to remove the old stained and cracked concrete at the site, making this gift – valued at over $60,000 – a reality in a dynamic collaborative partnership with artists, the CCAE, the city, the business community and museum patrons.

Last January, the oficial unveiling of Star Streams occurred at the opening of the Niki de Saint Phalle: Mythical California exhibition, the most visited and proitable in the museum’s history. Star Streams adds another major mosaic destination to Escondido’s cultural tour and it will be included in the city’s next map and guide, as well as future art walk events.

“COLD CALL is a means of renegotiating the relationship between public art and museums,” says Brailsford. “My work enlivens cultural and civic public spaces. Achieving the irst LithoMosaic museum installation is an essential milestone for my vision to realize the creative potential of people, places and things. With this series of national museum public art partnership donations, I am reinventing the paradigm of public art for the client, community, and artists.”

“I think of LithoMosaics as 21st century petroglyphs - a modern day graphic that tells a powerful story. They enrich the everyday experience, and in surprising places for art to be showcased and occur,” says Lang.

 - Layered and hidden narratives center on star designs and

intertwined nets to suggest streams and low around and through the stars. The hybridized designs and palette honor the cultural and regional inluences of Mezzo-American, Spanish-Moorish and Chinese aesthetic into a contemporary resolution. Star Streams motivates historical curiosity to excavate and reveal underground aquifers, creeks, streams, gold exploration, missions, and migrations.

All to be displayed in the upcoming Public Address exhibition, the other COLD CALL sites are the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, the Everson Art Museum in Syracuse, NY, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, and the Corning Museum of Glass.

Visit Star Streams 24/7 “We are thrilled to be the irst LithoMosaic museum installation and to have this stunning original artwork to live with and love forever,” commented CCAE Museum Director Leah Goodwin. “The aesthetics and integrity with which it was designed and then quickly installed – in a matter of hours – relects the caliber of the LithoMosaic collaborative process, and the CCAE Museum’s ongoing commitment to offer enduring and inspiring public art that is accessible to all.”

Visitors can view and experience Star Streams at the CCAE Museum entryway. Find more information at http://artcenter.org/museum. For more information about LithoMosaics and artist Robin Brailsford see www.codaworx.com/proile/ brailsford-public-art/8452 or www.lithomosaics.com. For information about the upcoming Public Address exhibition visit www.publicaddressart.com.

“I am most grateful to Leah Goodwin and Jerry Van Leeuwen, the city, board members, and staff who all came together to make my dream a reality,” says Brailsford. “Star Streams has set a precedent for the other COLD CALL cities, and I see smooth sailing after such an initial museum success.”

Public Art You Can Use: Walk on It, Touch It, Sit Down LithoMosaics are designed to endure the elements and high trafic areas, are LEED and ADA certiied, and they encourage and inspire human engagement and interaction.

Entryways and waypoints in communities and urban campuses, transit stations, walkways, public parks, and beach promenades - even furnishings - are all excellent applications for LithoMosaics as they can be installed on lat, tilted up or vertical surfaces. Steve Lang was on the supervising project team for the series of 3,000 feet of LithoMosaic medallions that were custom designed by Brailsford Public Art, and are now installed on the sidewalks of six city blocks along the public transit gallery in downtown Long Beach.

Lang is a Principal at MIG, one of the foremost landscape architect and planning irms in the U.S. In his view, public art is a vital cultural statement. LithoMosaics are integrated with the very brand and design of a city or place, along with

Walkabout Australia

By Heather Petrek

One of the most sensational excursions you can make this summer is to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, because something very special is happening. The newest adventure at the park, Walkabout Australia, provides a glimpse into the smallest continent and one of the largest countries on our planet. You’ll be able to explore and learn about the varied geography and the animals and plants that live there.

Animals You Don’t See Every Day While you’re taking in the sights and sounds of Australia, you’ll feel like a local when you realize there are no fences or walls between you and the western gray kangaroos that are hopping nearby. Living mostly in the grasslands, this species of kangaroo feasts on grasses, leaves, bark, and plants that grow near the ground. The western gray kangaroo doesn’t need to consume large quantities of water, and spends 6 to 10 hours per day grazing. Newborn kangaroos, or joeys, are tiny at birth and stay in the mother’s pouch until they are about nine months old. Sometimes an older joey will continue to suckle even as a sibling occupies its mother’s pouch. Western gray kangaroos are muscular, and can leap as far as 39 feet in one hop. They are fast animals, traveling over 37 miles per hour. As you observe the kangaroos, and the unique ways they move, there will be volunteers who can answer questions and teach you more about these fantastic animals.

Another animal you will see in the exhibit is the

12

| Escondido Magazine

red-necked wallaby. The wallaby is a smaller member of the kangaroo family. It has smaller forelimbs than its hind limbs, ears that are clearly visible, and a long tail. Males weigh approximately 33 – 55 pounds and females weigh about 26 – 34 pounds. Males’ tails are up to 2.9 feet long; the tail of a female is slightly shorter, up to 2.6 feet. The gestation period for a red-necked wallaby is about 30 days, and joeys weigh less than .04 ounces at birth. Infant red-necked wallabies take their irst look at the world beyond the pouch when they are six months old, and begin venturing outside the pouch at seven months. The joey will continue nursing until it is a year to just under a year-and-a-half old. The milk its mother produces is a formula that is perfectly harmonized with the baby’s stages of development, and the amount that it consumes is also matched to the needs of the young one.

Australian brush turkeys are also free to roam in Walkabout Australia. They are mound building birds that have black feathers, yellow wattles, and red necks and heads. The males use leaves and other matter to build a 5-foot high, 13-foot diameter mound to protect the female’s eggs (1624 of them), but the mound can incubate more than one female’s eggs at a time. Using his beak to ensure the temperature is correct, which is about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the male will add or remove leaves from the mound. When Australian brush turkey chicks are born, they don’t need their parents; they are capable of surviving on their own

as long as another animal or bird doesn’t prey upon them irst. Making it to adulthood, the chick faces a daunting 1 in 200 chance.

Meet Me at the Far End Learn about a few Australian animals in the Animal Ambassador section of the exhibit.

Echidnas are spiny anteaters that have bird-like beaks, kangaroo-like pouches, and porcupine-like spines. They have low body temperature and a slow metabolism, and are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The female’s eggs are soft and leathery, and as small as a dime. The egg develops inside the female’s pouch for ten days, and then hatches. Echidna pouches are equipped with glands called milk patches that the newborn eats from. Having a large brain compared to the size of its body, the echidna’s neocortex comprises half of its brain. Most mammals’ comprise 30%. In humans, the neocortex constitutes more than 75% of the brain’s volume.

Wombats are nocturnal marsupials that live in burrows.

They have short legs and strong claws for digging tunnels.

Like other marsupials, wombats have pouches, but unlike the pouch of a kangaroo, for example, the wombat’s pouch opens towards the animal’s hind legs instead of in the front.

This is probably because if the pouch opened toward the female’s head, the baby wombat would get covered with dirt from her digging. Wombats are herbivores, so their diet consists of plants; it takes about two weeks for a wom-

bat to digest a meal, using special stomach enzymes to break down the hardy vegetation it eats.

Sugar gliders are nocturnal marsupials that are also omnivores. The enjoyment of sugary saps and nectars plus the ability to glide through the air, typically from tree to tree in pursuit of food or to escape predators, gives the sugar glider its name. Using the patagium, or gliding membrane that extends from the forelegs to the hind legs, sugar gliders lex their feet upward with their legs at right angles to the body. They can glide 55 yards or more and can steer by adjusting the tension of the patagium through the movement of their limbs. This marsupial has a partially prehensile tail and its body length is about 9-12 inches, including - Article continued on page 15

the tail. Males weight 5 ounces; females about 4. Large, farset eyes allow the sugar glider to see prey at night, and its ears swivel to assist with hunting in the dark. Sugar gliders parent their offspring together. One will gather food while the other keeps the offspring warm; baby sugar gliders are unable to hold their bodies at a constant temperature until the age of 3-and-a-half months.

What is a Billabong?

A billabong is a pool or pond that forms when a river or creek changes its direction. In the Walkabout, the importance of water and how animals and people depend on it is illustrated at the water conservation tank, and the children’s area, a place to play in the water at the pond’s edge.

The need for water conservation because of drought and the changing conditions of our global climate is essential to the well-being of humans, animals, and life on our Earth.

What better way to appreciate water and the birds and plants that thrive on it than roaming Walkabout Australia?

Educating ourselves about water and its conservation is a signiicant and worthwhile mission. This new adventure at the Safari Park is just another way to make it fun.

The Desert Rocks If you’d like to see a representation of the Australian desert without traveling in an airplane for ifteen or more hours, look no further than the Walkabout exhibit. Australia’s Northern Territory is home to massive, red, round granite boulders called the Devil’s Marbles. These huge rocks are more than 1,600 million years old, formed from a granite mass under the Earth’s surface by magna that had cooled.

The granite cracked and split, making blocks. Eventually, because of erosion, wind, and rain, the edges of the blocks became smooth, and now they look like giant marbles. The impressive rounded boulders decorate the vast, dry landscape in Australia at the Devil’s Marbles Conservation Reserve. Many plants and animals like snakes, lizard and birds live among the rocks, using them for shelter and shade.

This natural wonder has been recreated at Walkabout Australia, where you can easily visit and see them for yourself.

ant for many reasons, a few of them being the stabilization of the world’s climate, the maintenance of the water cycle, and protection against lood, erosion, and drought. The animals you will see at Walkabout Australia are the endangered Matschie’s tree kangaroo and the double-wattled cassowary. The double-wattled cassowary is large; the only birds larger are the emu and the ostrich. Omnivorous birds, females are more brightly colored than the males, and also bigger than the males. Adult cassowaries are over 5 feet tall. Some females can grow to a height of 6-and-a-half feet, and can weigh about 129 pounds. The Safari Park has a breeding program for this gorgeous bird to help save it from extinction. Matschie’s tree kangaroo was classiied by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1996 as endangered, primarily because of the destruction of its habitat. Other threats to the species are oil drilling, hunting, and rainforest clearing. These kangaroos have small ears, curved claws on their forelimbs and soft pads on their hind limbs to help them climb. They are muscular vertical climbers and use their tails, which are about as long as their bodies, to assist with balance as they clamber through the trees. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has a breeding program for these endangered kangaroos, as well.

The Kingdom Plantae Besides animals, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is home to unusual and exotic plants. In Walkabout Australia you will see Sturt’s desert peas, banksias, and Australian climbers just to name a few. As with the animals, the park takes special care to nurture the thriving plants that grow there. When visiting, take time to appreciate the lush lora throughout the park. You won’t have to try hard to learn interesting facts about the varied plant species you see all around you.

Enhancing San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy’s goals, to protect species all over the world, and ight against extinction while keeping visitors and donors excited about the important work they do with regard to conservation and appreciation for all of nature, Walkabout Australia offers an exciting way to stay inspired. Make your way to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park this summer for your chance to get close to a kangaroo, take in the scent of a plant you’ve never seen before, and admire the traits of the faraway continent of Australia. Purchase an annual membership while you’re there, and join the many who already support the ongoing efforts of conservation and education that make this park a cherished gem of San Diego county.

Career & Technical Education opens doors for all at Escondido Union High School District campuses

By Carolina Flores Student Board Member, EUHSD Board of Education Student, Escondido High School

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways being offered at school sites within the Escondido Union High School District are opening doors for students to explore new career paths through a variety of courses. Students have the opportunity to explore agriculture, arts, building and construction trades, engineering and architecture, health science and medical technology, manufacturing and product development, and transportation.

“One key component of addressing support for CTE classes is the concept of breaking down the ‘college for all’ mentality. We in the CTE departments believe in a mantra of ‘post-secondary education for all’, which greatly broadens the horizon for opportunities,” said woodworking, architecture, and engineering teacher Andy Redding of San Pasqual High School.

The pathways are designed to connect high school classes to college, industry certiications and/or the workforce.

For some, CTE is an alternative form of education helping those planning to pursue a trade immediately after high school, while others utilize CTE courses to explore possible career options. For senior Derek Be, being involved in Advanced Machining and Advanced Molding gave him an opportunity to get ahead in his career as he hopes to work for Freeberg Industrial Fabrication Corporation, a locally based company, in the future.

“I actually have a certiication in welding. This certiication will give me a foot in the door because companies tend to call the person with the certiication over the person without it. Getting one in high school was a huge bonus, because I didn’t need to go to Palomar to get certiied so it saved me a lot of money,” said Be. Many of the students involved in a CTE pathway do so because they are committed to pursuing a career in that ield, whether immediately working, or gaining additional skills through a trade school. The programs offer several opportunities for hands-on work in real

world scenarios. Often, some of the most beneicial experiences students receive through the CTE courses include seeing irsthand what jobs speciically entail.

“One of the great things students get from CTE programs is being able to go on ield trips to visit work being done on pipelines or welding on buildings, plus you get credit for going,” said junior Ricardo Cabrera.

According to the National Research Center for CTE, “the more students participate in career and technical student organizations, the higher their academic motivation, academic engagement, grades, career, self-eficacy, college aspirations and employability skills.” These courses are not only teaching students the skills needed for trade schools, but students are also getting an in-depth look at how to apply these skills to their lives as they proceed into adulthood.

In the EUHSD district, “Kids can learn hard skills like learning how to operate a machine, but then we also learn soft skills like how to show up to work on time, interact around dangerous machinery, and maintaining professionalism in the class. We also work on communication and interview skills,” said woodworking teacher Nate Boelhauf from Escondido High School.

Students feel their time management skills have signiicantly improved since being enrolled in the program. For those involved in the higher levels of the pathway, there is a level of responsibility and dedication that the students are expected to rise to. The class will be given an overview of what to do for their project, safety, what to avoid do-

ing, and what measurements to use. Students then manage their schedules for the projects as they move forward.

“I need to build up a schedule on how and when to do things. For example, if I need to cut a board, I need to cut this day, paint and stain another day,” said junior John Cruz.

The CTE staff are also teaching the students about outreach through the various charity projects in which the students participate. In one project aimed at supporting the ight against cancer, students created toy boxes illed with donated items. Additionally, the woodshop class at Escondido High School is currently working on creating a “Little Free Library” for each of the elementary schools in Escondido. Little Free Library is part of a national effort to increase literacy, and will include donations of books for all to access. Students found satisfaction in doing this work, because they were able to tangibly see the impact of their projects within the community while serving those in need.

However, these projects in particular push students to create their best work, as it is going toward a good cause.

of what they are learning in a CTE program,” said Boelhauf.

Currently, a wide range of CTE pathways are available through the district’s high schools including Building & Construction (Escondido and San Pasqual), Engineering & Architecture (San Pasqual), as well as Manufacturing & Product Development (Orange Glen and Escondido).

Senior Scott York found sometimes with these projects frustrations can run high. “When what we were working on didn’t end up being what we envisioned, we have to push ourselves to ix the problems. We can’t put ourselves down and only focus on the negative. Instead, we have to keep pushing towards success,” said York.

The CTE programs have been successful at each campus with the number of enrolled students ranging from 500 to 600. Teachers have found success in teaching their students teamwork, time management, attention to detail, and safety when it comes to the projects they work on. Nevertheless, they are “Always looking for mentors from outside organizations to reach in and hire kids straight out of high school. I would love for more people to become involved in CTE by coming in, sitting on advisory panels, serving as guest speakers, or sharing their personal perspectives of the industry in which they work. Having someone currently working in the ield come in and tell us we need kids to have particular skills is very valuable. It not only helps to ensure what is being taught is relevant to tomorrow’s worker, but can often help students better understand the value

City Shticker

By Irv Erdos Bulls, bears, and cats Once again, I’ve been sparring with my wife over what she insists are questionable investments. Sadly, she has little faith in my competence, insisting I should seek the advice of a professional before considering any future speculation.

“And please stop telling people you’re some sort of authoritative investor,” she moaned.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied.

“You gave your friend Barry the impression you’ve become a kind of commodities dealer,” she griped. “Does he know you were talking about shopping at Costco?”

So, I looked up the term on the Internet and read aloud to her: “Commodities: Objects that come out of the Earth such as wheat, cattle, soybeans, corn, gold, uranium, and copper.”

“And ketchup,” she added. “A gallon of ketchup!”

“Still a commodity,” I said.

“Yes, it is, but it’s not exactly cattle, gold or uranium,” she whined.

“Commodity!” I repeated.

“You told your friend Dan you bought oil.”

“I did.”

“Did you mention it was olive oil?”

“I can’t recall.”

“And you told Joe you were investing in metals.”

“All true.”

“You said you obtained a substantial stake in aluminum.”

“I did.”

“Foil!” she squawked. “Did you tell Joe it was aluminum foil!?”

Okay, so maybe there was a degree of reason to her argument, so I decided to accept her advice and go with a professional:

Cousin Ivan.

“Ivan the dancer?” my wife questioned.

That was in a prior life. Cousin Ivan used to be an actor and dancer. He even had a role in the hit musical “Cats,” but now he’s a stock broker. Since the stock market had been in skyrocket mode, what better time than now to let my cousin steer us into prosperity?

So, I called him and he suggested a retail chain he liked.

I took his advice and purchased 100 shares. “Congratulations,” he declared. Then we caught up on some family matters. Ivan reported all was well except that his son had come down with a case of chicken pox, but Ivan explained that he saw that as a good thing since now his son would be immune to further episodes of the ailment.

I hung up the phone and announced we now owned a portion of a major retail chain, a prospect my wife was not exactly happy about, concerned the investment might be too risky.

“Don’t fear,” I said. “We’re dealing with Cousin Ivan.”

“Ivan, the guy from Cats?” she inquired.

“Yes,” I conirmed, “but he’s a stock broker now.”

“I’m happy to hear he landed on his feet,” she proclaimed.

“There’s no reason to think one can’t ind success in going in a completely new direction,” I said.

“I guess so,” she said. “You can be an orange tabby one day, and a securities dealer the next.”

After a few days passed, Ivan called. “Congratulations,” he said.

“The stock is up?” I eagerly inquired.

Actually, it was down 10 percent, he said. But Ivan explained that meant it was a great buying opportunity. Also, an additional acquisition would mean I could average down the overall cost.

I agreed, then asked Ivan if I should be happy now.

“Of course,” he answered. “You should be very happy.”

I hung up and told my wife how happy I was because our stock was down 10 percent.

“Is that the same Ivan who said chicken pox was a good thing?” my wife queried.

Several days later, I called Ivan back to ask how the market was doing.

“Congratulations,” he said. “We’re having a rally.”

“So how much is the market up?” I inquired.

“Oh, it’s not up,” he said. “It’s down 300 points.”

“It’s down 300 points and we’re having a rally?” I questioned.

“So, I should be happy then?” I asked.

“Of course,” he said. “We’re having a rally.”

I hung up the phone and told my wife how happy I was because we were having a rally and the market was down 300 points.

After about a week I called Ivan again at which time he had some more good news, reporting that his entire family had come down with chicken pox.

“Congratulations,” I said.

As far as my investment was concerned, Ivan had more good news explaining that my stock’s rate of decline had slowed considerably.

As good as all that news was, my wife remained unimpressed, holding on to the theory that a stock that’s half its original value can’t be all that good. I reminded her that it was her idea to seek out a professional. On the other hand, the oil, aluminum, and tomato investments I made were holding their own.

Lights, Camera, Keys…

Keeping your business safe after hours

By Mike Martinez

thieves as they are not seeking any additional attention. If you have an alarm already, is it motion activated or activated by breakage?

Statistically, a burglary occurs in the United States about every 10 seconds! And unlike lightning, burglary suspects will sometimes strike the same place twice. Here are a few tips to help you avoid becoming a victim and to minimize the loss if your business does become a target.

Let’s start by going over the obvious. Remember to lock your business at the end of the day. Yes, it is sad, but true.

On many occasions, I have responded to crime scenes where there was no sign of forced entry and the bad guys took advantage of a tired business owner who may have forgotten to lock the doors. I recommend that you have a startup plan as well as a closing procedure…and follow it every day.

Counting Keys When was the last time you took an inventory of your keys?

How many are out there? Who has them? Is it time to think about re-keying your business and starting fresh? This is a simple way of ensuring that the keys are not in the wrong hands.

Safe and Cash Register Most of time, crooks are after easy cash. If you have a safe, make sure it is secured to the ground with lag bolts and that it is LOCKED! If your business has a cash register, remove the till and leave the drawer in plain sight. The bad guy won’t have a need to smash open your register once he sees it has nothing inside. If you have startup money in your store, hide it in a secret and secure location and don’t share this with anyone.

Lights, lights, lights Providing lights on both the outside and interior of your business is great for patrolling oficers and bad for the would-be burglar. Remember, they do not want any attention. While you’re at it, clear any cluttered window space, so that any unusual activity is easy to spot.

Video Surveillance Technology is more affordable these days, and many companies offer easy to install “plug and play” video cameras.

If your place is victimized, video evidence can assist law enforcement with identifying suspects, increasing the chance of an arrest and prosecution.

Lastly, make sure that your business looks appealing to customers, even after hours.

Keep landscaping in good condition, trimmed and clear of clutter. I have been to many burglaries where potential identiiable evidence was lost due to a palm tree branch blocking a camera, or a missing parking lot light allowing the crook to park a get-away car without being seen.

Updating Your Kitchen 6 Things You Can Do to Add New Life to Your Kitchen

By George Brown Make a Splash with Tile The backsplash, because it spans a relatively wide area of the kitchen, can have a big impact on the room’s appearance. If you already have a solid surface countertop like quartz or granite, (something that will be around for a while), consider adding a tile or glass backsplash. Today’s material options seem endless: porcelain, ceramic, glass, stone, marble and mix combinations of each. Trending today are glass tiles, hand painted ceramics, geometric shapes and 3 dimensional tiles. Don’t be afraid of adding some color. The backsplash is a great way to add personality to your kitchen.

| Escondido Magazine

Out with the Old, In with the New - Countertops Many homes still have the tile countertops featuring the grout that we all love so much (NOT!). Consider getting rid of the dated style and time-consuming grout cleaning by adding a solid surface countertop to your kitchen. Granite and quartz lead the ield in popularity. Granites are natural stone products that have uniqueness in color ranges and patterns since they are created by nature. You’ll see some amazing stones when touring the slab yards. Quartz countertops are man-made tops with the primary material being quartz stone. Because they are manufactured, they come with a couple of popular features including stain resistance, maintenance free, and there is no need to seal.

Quartz comes in hundreds of colors and patterns that can be viewed in the showroom.

Center Stage with a Wood Island Top Wood adds warmth to a space like no other material. Because of today’s technology, a few companies have created wood inishes that now can withstand the daily rigors of an active kitchen. This means wood tops are moving to center stage. The island can be a perfect place to create a focal

point using wood. Solid wood tops come in varying thicknesses, from 1” to 4”. They also have an abundance of edge treatments to really make the top custom. You also have the ability to select wood species, orientation of the grain, and custom stain colors.

Not everyone has an island, so consider another location, or your entire countertop. Maybe the countertop at the bar area, or as an accent piece in the butler pantry, or cabinetry in the hallway leading from the kitchen. Because of the durability of the inish, these wood tops can be used on bathroom vanities or tub decks.

Glass Accents Sometimes all that is needed to add some spice to the kitchen (no pun intended) is to add a point of interest. How about adding some glass to a couple of cabinet doors?

With so many decorative glass options available these glass accents are a beautiful addition to the upper cabinets. Be aware that what will be viewed behind the glass will depend on the transparency of the material selected.

Consider painting the interior of the cabinet to match the exterior or maybe an accent color. Another option would be to install LED lights inside the cabinet. With the addition of a dimmer switch to control the amount of light, this small space can become a beautiful accent to your kitchen. For continuity consider adding this same glass to cabinets in an adjoining room.

New Decorative Hood A common item in many kitchens is the over the stove microwave (or small hood) with a cabinet above it. This cabinet’s only purpose is to hide the ductwork for the exhaust.

Why not remove it and add a more decorative hood? From wood to stainless steel to colorful metal hoods, the styles are wide-ranging. What once was a functional piece of equipment can now add some interest to your kitchen.

Many hood styles allow for open wall space around them and extend to the ceiling. This is a great opportunity to extend your backsplash tile from countertop to ceiling really emphasizing this new space.

w w w.Galle r yHome De sign.ne t A Cabinetry Facelift Can Do Wonders Kitchen cabinetry, built well, can last a long time. For those who like the cabinet layout and want to avoid replacing cabinets, reinishing may be the right option. Reinishing can take several forms but in short it is changing the color of the cabinetry exteriors. Done well, your kitchen can take on a whole new appearance and style. Some transformations are so dramatic it won’t even look like the same kitchen.

Stained cabinets can have their colors darkened or can be restained with these options leaving the grain visible.

Painting the cabinets is a great way to hide undesired graining patterns. To join in with trending styles, consider a combination of the two or possibly two paint colors.

Another option is to faux inish the cabinets. It is recommended that you use the skill of a professional faux inisher. The reinishing techniques include layers of paint, glaze, highlights and even distressing to obtain the desired character on the cabinets. The charac-

24

| Escondido Magazine

ter can range from subtle effects like dry brush strokes to more traditional stylings like French Country or Tuscan.

It is possible when reinishing cabinets to make some minor changes to the cabinetry. Add or change moulding.

Remove the compactor, adding a pullout trash bin. Add soft-close hinges.

Since the idea behind reinishing is usually to avoid a big cabinet project, you’ll most likely keep these kinds of changes to a minimum, but now is the time to consider them.

Need Creative Input Utilizing professional design services can make all the difference. When taking on your interior design or remodeling projects, bringing in the services of an interior design company can help you pull together colors, textures, inishes and ixtures while saving you time and headache. It may even save you money while avoiding costly mistakes or miscalculations. Plus, the experience of a professional will surely bring ideas to the table that you would not have thought of.

Small Businesses get Boost from New Tax Law

By Jim Vander Spek

The brand-new “199A Deduction” is a real game changer.

It is part of the tax law Congress passed at the very end of 2017 and it is cutting taxes for owners of small and privately held businesses like nothing we have seen before. Nobody saw this coming.

Sure, everyone knew that the US taxes paid by large corporations were way out of line—higher than those of virtually all competing western nations. This has been driving proitable businesses and jobs elsewhere and a ix was long overdue.

If political power had been split between political parties, as it usually is, a corporate tax cut would have required something for the “other side”—programs or beneits Democrats could get behind. Instead, the holdouts against big business tax cuts were on the same team: those Republicans who wanted to help small and closely held businesses as well, not just the big boys.

Negotiations dragged out almost until Christmas. At the last possible moment, Congress passed the needed big business tax rate cuts and matched them with a brand new, extremely generous deduction for smaller businesses called the “199A Deduction” (199A).

Of course, there were lots of other changes in the law that generated much attention, like the limiting of deductions for state taxes, removing exemptions and changing tax rates. However, as we have analyzed the projected 2018 tax returns of our non-business owner clients, we can see that very few of them are hurt very much at all. In fact, the claim that 90% of taxpayers will pay less in federal taxes is holding true even in California where the reduction in the deductibility of property and income taxes is especially focused.

26

| Escondido Magazine

On the other hand, the playing ield for most small businesses is completely changed. 199A provides owners of most “pass-through business entities” such as partnerships and S-Corporations with a deduction that is equal to 20% of their business income. This deduction is taken by individuals on their personal returns and comes right “off the top.” It reduces taxable income being taxed at their highest rate.

An even bigger surprise is that Congress redeined and expanded the deinition of “pass-through” income. It now includes income earned from most sole proprietorships, rentals, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), publicly traded partnerships and cooperatives.

All of this is exciting but also confusing. Those of us who are charged with advising taxpayers as to what they should do and what taxes they will owe are being left in the dark about many important details. The AICPA, of which we are members, recently sent an urgent request to the IRS for “immediate guidance” on the many parts that are unclear.

We will have to wait. The IRS is underfunded, overworked and suffering from low morale. It cannot hastily unwind all the complexities that 199A is introducing.

We offer FREE customized services to help identify the right senior living community for your loved one.

We are compassionate professionals who have helped seniors and their families for over 40 years.

Here are some thoughts about 199A and how it may affect you: Make sure you nail down a 199A deduction if at all possible. Small and closely held corporations and LLCs that are not operating as pass-through entities need to make changes as quickly as they can, otherwise they will miss out on the beneits of 199A and could pay even more than they have been paying in

Sandie Dewane & Inan Linton, co-owners

858 | 472 | 8246 keepitsimpleseniorcarereferrals.com

taxes previously. There are a variety of strategies that can be used to ix this.

Those who are S Corps and LLCs need to maximize “Qualiied Business Income” (QBI) that generates 199A beneits.

For example, we advised one of our more proitable S Corp clients to put the brakes on excess W-2 earnings in the S Corp to increase QBI. All kinds of variables come into play and it requires careful, informed effort to get the best result.

This is a great time to be in business. The federal government is pulling out all the stops to incentivize business ownership and to encourage proitability. Over the last few decades, many younger people have given up on the idea of starting a business or putting in the hard work this takes.

Instead, for some time, the dream job for even the brightest has been a government position of some type. The hope is that 199A will jumpstart increased entrepreneurial activity.

Invest in proitable businesses and properties that will generate 199A deductions. Certain REITs and Master Limited Partnerships are examples of such investments, but this has gone mostly unreported. High quality NNN rental properties are especially attractive. One of our clients owns one of these and will see an instant drop of $30,000 in his federal taxes in 2018 without doing anything different. (The IRS may yet issue regulations changing this.)

Competition for good people will intensify. Employers are already scrambling to ind good people and it will cost them more than they are used to paying. Expect higher wages and increased investment in ways to make employees more productive.

Private ownership of larger businesses (as opposed to being publically traded) will increase. For example, Paul Jacobs is looking to take Qualcomm, the business his father founded, private. Cox Cable is already privately owned.

This trend will accelerate because of 199A coming into play.

Will California get its act together? A business boom is building up steam nationally, but California is not where new start-ups prefer to take root. Unless California does more to encourage a thriving middle class of entrepreneurs and the energy they bring, we will become increasingly a place for the wealthy, the old and the poor. Sacramento and local governments need to cut regulations and taxes (corporations pay close to 10% in income taxes just for being in California), remove business roadblocks and address our housing and transportation problems so that we can again experience what thriving businesses bring.

My Ideal Hometown

By Zoey Payne

A plethora of ideas come to my mind when considering my ideal hometown. Immediately, I imagine living in a bigger city, with more places to go and more people to see.

However, upon further speculation of the topic, the idea of an “ideal hometown” becomes absurd. There is no such thing as an ideal hometown, because every place has its issues. Be it poverty, violence or unemployment, no one town is perfect. The concept of an “ideal hometown” is pointless, because this quintessential hometown does not exist. When you live in one place for long enough, you start to notice its laws, all the imperfections you would never see as a visitor. As a student, I’ve always longed to leave my hometown, to go to some far away university once I inally graduate. To me, hometowns are for leaving. They’re for growing up, not growing old. But as I grow closer and closer to this date, the day that I can inally say goodbye, I ind myself feeling troubled at the thought of leaving my home. Here I feel warm, safe and comfortable. I know every street, every building, every name and face. Escondido is my home, it’s a part of who I am. This town has shaped me, has made me the person that I’ve grown to become. I love it with all of my heart. Still though, I long to travel elsewhere, to experience new streets, new faces

and new friendships. The thing about hometowns, I’ve realized, is that they’re the places you come back to. I could travel the world, visit a thousand different countries, but my town would still be waiting for me when I decide that I am ready to come home.

Utopia

By Lotus Burnquist

Utopia - an imagined place of ideal perfection where everything works and everything is peaceful. A utopia can be different depending on whose eyes you are looking through.

Mine requires a little bit of imagination but still would make sense to those who share a similar vision. Equality in all aspects and fairness are what my dream hometown would be based on.

In my dream hometown by the beautiful Caspian Sea, the city council is actively involved in taking the citizen’s issues into consideration. Citizens are aware of any and all problems that arise and have a say in what is done about them. The community as a whole works together in harmony to help one another, and once a week they are called to a committee in which they share new ideas or developments to improve the community by sorting out any inancial differences among them. In this utopia there are no social classes or inancial competition. Everyone receives the same amount of money, food, and resources needed to survive peacefully.

Education is required, but the students may choose their interests and learn further about those interests depending on what they choose. Every category available serves a different role for the society and everyone shares their resources. For example, courses in farming, sewing, cooking, or architecture are available. If a student were unable to choose or wanted to do something other than serve within the community, he/she could apply to become a part of the committee that helps assist the community to resolve any issues. In order to be approved for the committee, he/she must pass a test that evaluates character and personality as well as decision-making, not knowledge of speciic things.

Then a vote among the other committee members would be held.

In my dream hometown, the food comes from crops that each citizen plants for themselves; those resources are later traded or sold during community gatherings. There is also no need to steal since every citizen is given the same resources and opportunities. Dishonesty about anything is unnecessary and there is no need for unfair competition. If anyone were to do something out of malice or cruel intent, they would be banished from the city and could only return if they could prove they had learned from their mistake through a test of honesty.

The rules are few and the ones that exist are simple in my utopia. There are no social classes, stealing, dishonesty, forced education, or competition. Everyone lives in harmony and shares the resources provided to them within their community. Every person has a chance for redemption if they make a mistake, and issues brought to the committee are debated by the entire community, as well. It’s a world based off of equal sharing and fair judgement. This is my ideal hometown. What is yours?

Partnerships and Accountability Make Escondido K-8 Very Strong and Getting Stronger

By Susana Villegas “The state of our district is very strong,” declared Escondido Union School District Superintendent Luis Rankins-Ibarra at the second annual State of the District Address delivered at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Student achievement scores are moving in the right direction, but the cause for optimism in the superintendent’s address ran much deeper than just a snap shot of how local K-8 schools and students are currently performing. Although none of the schools in the district are operating “in the red” category as low performing schools in Language Arts and Mathematics under the new California School Dashboard, Dr. Ibarra’s optimism is rooted in something more fundamental. The district has built a foundation of partnerships and systemic structures that will continue to make the district

stronger and provide quality education to the children of Escondido.

The who’s who of partners that provide enrichment opportunities to the education of Escondido Union students were on hand that morning. Among them, the San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum received this year’s Public Champion Award for a partnership that provides after-school Science Technology Engineering and Math programs to second and third graders and free membership to all district preschool families. The San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum partnership is only the tip of the iceberg of the district’s community of partners that contribute regularly to the district’s student experience. The superintendent recognized the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and A Step Beyond for bringing visual and performing arts to hundreds of EUSD students. Dr. Ibarra noted the impact to the community of the more than 1,000 students at ive EUSD elementary schools that have participated in the Getting Out into Nature program with the San Elijo Conservancy. He recognized the Friends of Daley Ranch for providing every district seventh grader with a ield trip experience to study nature and Escondido history for each of

the last 14 years. He noted the contributions of Treobytes, the California State University, San Marcos, the Escondido Education Foundation, the Palomar Family YMCA, and Reading Express through the City of Escondido, Barnes & Noble, and the Children’s Initiative to Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) for their collective contribution in bringing innovative programs that support literacy and STEM. Dr. Ibarra thanked Coast 2 Coast Soccer and the Boys & Girls Clubs for adding after-school athletics to the opportunities available to EUSD students. Dr. Ibarra called it a rich “tapestry of partners” that provides learning experiences that engage, inspire, and unleash the learning potential of each student.

These partnerships build on academic achievement in the classroom for which the district is tackling head on. The quality of EUSD schools is starting to yield recognition. EUSD’s newest school, the Quantum Academy, was recently named an Apple Distinguished School for its innovative use of technology in its curriculum. Conway Elementary was one of eight schools nationally to receive the “Better World Project” recognition and grant for exemplary lesson design for its “Protecting and Serving Our Local Watershed” project. Dr. Ibarra also announced the launch of a new One-to-One iPad initiative to provide every student with an iPad by 2021 to modernize student instruction and access and use of information in the 21st century.

Despite recognizing and applauding double-digit gains in student achievement at several grade levels throughout the district, EUSD also recognizes that the majority of its schools are in the mid to lower-mid levels of performance.

“We are not satisied with where we are,” said Dr. Ibarra, “[but] we will turn the tide, one student at a time, one grade level at a time, and one school at a time.”

Achievement requires being accountable for teacher and student performance and the many factors that can affect that performance. The superintendent pointed to the district’s professional development plan for teachers to support them in reaching the state’s more rigorous educational standards. He also explained the measures that the district has taken to be accountable for student achievement by focusing on the academic, social, and emotional needs of K-8 students that often interfere with school achievement.

“We at the Escondido Union School District are educating the entire child,” said the superintendent. The district has added a social worker, an intervention teacher, a vocational nurse, credentialed physical education teachers, and a fulltime family liaison at every site to help meet the needs of students. In 2017, the Family Liaison program received the statewide Golden Bell Award from the California School Boards Association for its success in engaging parents as partners in their children’s education.

Dr. Ibarra was also very clear that accountability extends from achievement in the classroom to the classroom facility itself. He thanked the Escondido community for its support through the $182 million bond initiative, Prop E, that has funded much needed improvements and expansion of several schools – Orange Glen Elementary, Quantum Academy, Central Elementary, and Mission Middle among them.

“We are mindful of our commitment to being good stewards of the public’s funds,” said the superintendent. Dr. Ibarra closed noting Moody’s AA2 “very strong” and Fitch’s AAA “extremely strong” credit worthiness ratings for EUSD.

pursue something better for himself. Now, his grade point average is 4.0, and he is college bound.

Escondido also has a number of international students.

Imagine leaving your home, traveling to a foreign country and having to learn a new language and culture. These students recognize the value of education. Though starting with a disadvantage, they have surpassed many of their classmates.

This event also demonstrates the love of learning our educators have. However, they pour more than knowledge into each student. They are truly life changing instruments for many, preparing students for success beyond the high school years. The Rising Star program is meant to honor students, however, everyone in attendance walks away feeling inspired and blessed.

Escondido Rising Stars

By Rorie Johnston

When you look at the night sky, do you wonder what makes the stars shine so brightly? Intense pressure and extreme heat at the core of a star allow nuclear fusion reactions to take place, releasing an enormous amount of energy in the form of gamma rays.

Last year, the Escondido Chamber of Commerce launched the Rising Star Student of the Month program, honoring seven high school seniors each month at a breakfast. The students are hand chosen by their principals and teachers for demonstrating character, integrity, love of learning, involvement in school and community activities and/or the ability to overcome challenging life circumstances without compromising their education.

What makes our Rising Star students shine? Much like the twinkling stars we admire in the night sky, these students have withstood intense pressure or have experienced life altering events. They have not merely endured, but they embraced the hardship, which makes them shine brighter with each day.

Students are surrounded by those who are part of their successful journey; school administrators, teachers, parents and siblings. There are students who embrace life to the fullest and have been given a myriad of opportunities to explore their dreams. Others have overcome extreme physical challenges with conditions that they will endure for their entire lives. But these setbacks do not stop them from succeeding. Even the young man forever bound to a wheelchair is an Olympic gold medalist.

Others were on a path of destruction. One young man shared how he had to choose to leave his “friends� who were involved in gangs in order to

The school year will end with forty-seven students being recognized as Rising Stars. Each student will have an opportunity to apply for a Rising Star scholarship, which will be awarded at the Grand Avenue Festival on Sunday, May 20.

Though the Escondido Chamber runs this event, it is 100% community sponsored. Business leaders who are passionate about education have supported the program costs and generously donated $14,000 in scholarship funds. Not only do our Rising Stars shine brightly, but so do our business leaders.

We are including a business directory in The Escondido Magazine this issue. If you are wondering why, I would have to say I was skeptical when we started discussing it, too. Doesn’t everyone just use the internet now? Isn’t that easier than using a directory? The information available today says that many folks are going back to using a directory.

The internet isn’t always easier. Others that have included directories in their publications are inding large ofices asking for multiple copies for their employees to use at their desks. We like our online information, but still like a hard copy also. To cover both preferences, this issue will also be posted online in a dynamic Flip Book format integrated into the Chamber’s website. So, you can have it both ways. Which do you choose?
