CLUBS & EVENTS
Sweets and Treats Boo. October is here. Time for ghosts and goblins and ghouls to come creeping out of the woodwork. Time to order Halloween costumes or to visit one of those Costume Superstores that seem to pop up at every strip mall this time of year. If you’re crafty, I’m sure you are hard at work sewing an original costume for your children; I wish I could do the same, but alas, that would be frightening and embarrassing, all at the same time. It’s that thrilling time of year when you wait to be “Boo’d” – those little ghosts on your door and packages at your doorstep are so exciting, aren’t they? There is something to be said for sneaking over to friends’ and neighbors’ homes, stopping, dropping and running away in the dark, giggling and squealing as you try to dive into the car and drive away before you can be seen. This month, The Fountain will have a link to the “Boo Ghost and Poem” on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sehfountain), so that you can easily print up your choice of ghastly ghost and boo-tiful poem (I know that’s a sad, pathetic pun, but just trying to get you all in the spirit of things). October is one of my favorite months of the year. With any luck, the weather will take a turn for the cooler, and we can turn those fans and air-conditioners off and get ready for logs in the fireplace and fleecy UGG boots! It’s that time of year when I have the yen to bake pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies, to roast a whole chicken, take walks and drives to look at the Halloween decorations in the neighborhood at night. Not only does it bring all these wonderful traditions here in the United States, but October brings with it one of my favorite Indian holidays as well – the festival of Diwali.
Diwali, or Indian New Year, usually falls somewhere between October 10 and November 15 every year. Since it’s based on the lunar calendar, it differs from year to year, but it is always during the fall season. As a mother and wife, now, I definitely feel differently about the celebration of Diwali than I did when I was a little girl. I imagine that if you grew up here, Halloween as a parent feels very different than Halloween did as a child. For me growing up, back in those Ice-Age days, the month of October was a month of fun and festivities. Diwali is a celebration of lights, of the survival of good over evil (long story for another issue), of the closing of one chapter of your life and the excitement of starting another. Now, as an adult, Diwali is still exciting, but in a different way – it’s a way to pass on the traditions and customs to our children – the kids perform the ceremony now, and John and I watch. I remember sitting with my grandparents as they told us the story of Diwali – a fantastic, magical story that included Gods, Demons, Monkey Gods, Good and Evil, Death and Triumph. Now, I tell the story with the children in my bed, with John adding his Americanized version of difficult-topronounce Indian names, and Liam constantly interrupting the story to add his own two cents to it. It’s a funny circle, isn’t it, when you hear your grandmother’s voice in your head as you are telling your children the same story? I’m sure it happens to all of you, and I’d love to hear what your family holiday traditions and stories pag e 6 : th e fo u nta i n

monthly are as we turn the corner into the season of holidays and festivities.
And the season of holidays and festivities will come upon us with a vengeance, starting with Halloween. We will fall right into Thanksgiving, and then Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and New Year. And as we get bogged down by the small, inconsequential things (like presents and decorating and lights and gifts and gifts and gifts), it is perhaps important to remember that the holiday season is more important for the traditions and relationships that we build, not just as a family, but as a community.
One of my favorite Diwali traditions is a lot like my favorite Halloween tradition – it involves the giving of sweets and treats. Those that we deliver (much like “Boo” packages) to not just friends and family, but to people who least expect it – the grocery-store man, the cleaning ladies, the men who clean our cars daily (isn’t that a luxury) in India, the hair-stylist and nail ladies, the innumerable “uncles” and “aunties” that we have collected over the year. I think we Indians show we care through food, and so when you are given a platter of food, whether it is a huge one or a tiny one, it doesn’t matter – it means that you are loved, and in return, you will love as well. It could be a small or large gesture, but a strong, important one that lets you know that even as your mouth is sweetened by what’s on the tray, the hope is that your heart and mind and soul are nourished by the good wishes and love that come with whatever yummy delicacy that graces the plate when it’s delivered. I feel the same way about the anonymous packages that we leave at people’s doorsteps every Halloween. There are celebrations around the world, and yet, if you stop to look at them, there are more similarities in the way that we celebrate, than differences.
So, when you get that “Boo ghost” on your door, and it asks you to spread the love to three other families, maybe pick a family that doesn’t yet have a ghost on their door? Of course it’s fun to “boo” your friends, but what about the child next door that hasn’t been gifted with the excitement of a boo package? As a community, there is no reason why we can’t spread the love so that every child in every neighborhood has that sign up on their door, letting us all know that they were acknowledged and loved. Maybe this is a good time to teach our children that we can do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return, which is the beauty of the “Boo ghost” – it’s supposed to be anonymous, supposed to leave you guessing, wondering who was kind enough to drop off a package of goodies at your doorstep, surprising you secretly and surreptitiously, causing a smile on the face of whoever is lucky enough to answer the door. Do your children look forward to the nights before Halloween? Mine do! Do they stay up trying to guess who was responsible? Mine do! Our goal this year, as a community (and I know we can do it), is to pass this tradition on to as many people as we possibly can – so that everyone knows that they are loved, and in return, will share that love, starting off our holiday season with a bang (on the door, that is)!

Local Resident Wins the Nevada Junior Golf Championship In June of this year, Tiana Teatai-Ariki won the Nevada Junior Golf Championship in the Girls’ U8 Division. This win qualified her to play in the 2012 Calloway Junior World Championship in July. A total of 51 girls from the United States and the rest of the world converged at the Sycuan Resort Pines course to play a total of 54 holes over three days. Tiana finished the first day of the tournament in 7th place, but two bad holes on the second day threw her out of the running, and she ended up tied for 11th place. Although Tiana may not be thrilled with her placement, we certainly think she did an excellent job, and congratulate her for her incredible accomplishment. After the Junior Worlds, Tiana took a break from golf and spent time with her family, house-boating on Lake Orroville, swimming, tubing and water skiing. With school back in gear, she will juggle homework with her challenging golf practice schedule of 6 days a week at an average of 2-3 hours a day! That’s the kind of dedication that most of us can only dream of, and for a 10-year-old to have it speaks volumes for her determination and spirit! w w w.th efo u n ta i n- o n li ne .co m
• FASD was established in 2007, and is San Diego County’s largest distributor of donated food. • FASD receives food donations from local farmers, packers, manufacturers, and grocery stores, as well as purchases 100,000 additional pounds of food each month to ensure a nutritious mix of product. Pictured: Sarah Murray, Payton Falco, Shaun Murray, Grace Reynolds, Cassie and Carson Hackett, Karishma and Serena Chandwani-Patel, Sanchitha and Abhishek Tippur.
You may remember the kids in this photo. The day after school got out last year they set up a bake sale and lemonade stand by the San Elijo Hills fountain and raised over $250 through donations from generous – and hungry – passersby. The money they raised and delivered to Feeding America San Diego (FASD) was enough to provide more than 1,500 lunches to San Diego children out of school for the summer. But raising the money wasn’t enough for these kids. They wanted to understand where the money went and how people were helped. So over the summer they carpooled down to the FASD distribution center in Mira Mesa for a personal tour. They learned where the food donations came from and how people could volunteer to sort, label and package it for distribution. They even got
• The donated food is distributed to over 160 nonprofit partner agencies who in turn make it available to the 73,000 hungry families, seniors, and children throughout San Diego County each week. • A child’s health, school readiness, academic success, and future economic status can all be affected if they grow up in a food-insecure household. We would like to thank the community for their support of the children and their fundraising efforts. Keep your eye out for them in the future as they continue to work hard to help others in need. Perhaps the most important lesson the kids learned that day is while we often think of food drives and donations during the holiday season, hunger exists in our county year round. If you are interested in donating time, food, or funds to Feeding America San Diego, you can learn more about the opportunities at Feedingamericasd.com.

Five Places for Beer Lovers: By: Jeff Rose
San Diego County has become nationally, if not world-famous, for its signature craft beer scene, which tends to focus on the “West Coast IPA (India Pale Ale) style that is based on a heavily-hoped, bracingly bitter, highoctane (and heavy alcohol) formula that is not for the faint of heart. Many breweries offer a variety of styles to please any palate, so get out there and sample some brews to find your favorites and try something new and locally produced! There are many great choices for beer lovers out there, but for a little guidance here are… Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens: The Taj Mahal of breweries, this multi-million dollar and expansive Escondido facility features an impressive one-acre beer garden for casual sipping and strolling, with an abundance of patio and garden seating. There is an indoor and outdoor bar serving a good selection of Stone and other craft brews. The menu features an eclectic array of mostly non-traditional fare utilizing locally-sourced ingredients in creative, beer-centric preparations. This place is a destination and can get busy with a following of aficionados so be prepared to make reservations, especially for indoor dining tables. Guided brewery tours, special tastings, events, gift shop, and family friendly. 1999 Citricado Pkwy, Escondido www.stoneworldbistro.com
Churchill’s Pub & Grille: A San Marcos gem - funky and casual as your average brew-pub, with way above-average pub food and one of the best beer lists in the entire county. About 50 taps on selection at any given time, with frequent rotations, seasonal specials and limited releases mixed in. Wednesday Wing Night is a hit with spicy (or mild, if you prefer) 60 –cent “Ivan’s Revenge” chicken wings quenched only by the clean bite of an IPA or the richness of a chocolaty-malty Porter. 887 W San Marcos Blvd, San Marcos - churchillspub.us/
Port Brewing Company / The Lost Abbey: A friendly, casual and quaint local tasting room on the premises of the collaborative Port / The Lost Abbey brewery facility, which clearly demonstrates the artisanal, grass-roots nature of small, quality, local craft brewing. Order $1 sample tastes from the tasting bar to see what unique flavor
combinations and styles you may enjoy, and then pick a pint of your favorite! Wednesday’s “Hump Day Happy Hour” features a rotation of gourmet food trucks to pair with the craft brews. You can also visit one of the three Pizza Port locations (Carlsbad, Solana Beach & OB) to enjoy their ever-popular pizza with these locally-made brews. www.pizzaport.com/
Green Flash: If the hop-heavy San Diego IPA style is to your liking, this 4,000 square foot tasting room and beer garden won’t disappoint. Here you’ll find 30 taps on handle featuring their signature West Coast IPA and a rotation of seasonal, rare and special releases. Special events and tours available as well as food trucks serving the small, adjacent “beer garden”. Guided brewery tours and a busy calendar of special events are also offered. 6550 Mira Mesa Boulevard, San Diego www.greenflashbrew.com
Stumblefoot Brewing Company: A “rookie of the year” candidate in the San Diego Beer scene located in the nearby La Costa Meadows business park (between San Elijo Rd., Melrose Dr., and Rancho Santa Fe Rd.). This tucked-away up-and-comer is open Thursday-Sunday and features a unique line-up of diverse beers to cater to a range of palates. The brews are smooth, flavorful and a bit more elegant than the typical, over-the-top SD Double/ Triple/Quadruple IPA style the region has become known for. A food truck is typically parked here Friday-Sunday to complete the experience. www.stumblefoot.com

Five Places for Wine Lovers: By: Jeff Rose
San Diego County is not nearly as wine-crazy as it is beer-frenzied; however there are some great spots to visit if wine is your thing and you want to explore diverse offerings from obscure regions rather than just tasting the same-old-thing. Diversify your palate, explore and try things you can’t pronounce and have never heard of. After all, there are thousands of wines produced and you could try five different ones every day for the rest of your life and not have tasted them all! 3rd Corner Wine Shop and Bistro: Offering a vast selection of wellpriced bottles and a focused, well-chosen by-the-glass list, this is truly a gathering place for wine lovers of all types and styles. Wine-friendly bistro cuisine is the focus of the menu; and the five-dollar corkage fee for bottles selected for on-premise purchase is a budget-friendly way for a group of four or more to pair different styles of wine with their appetizers and entrees, or simply a plate of artisanal cheese and cured meats. San Diego County locations in Encinitas and Ocean Beach. www.the3rdcorner.com
Village Vino: Located in the charming neighborhood of Kensington; this destination-wine bar has a sophisticated, focused selection of rare and fabulous small-family wines, with 30 available by the glass or halfglass. A limited, yet fresh and locally-inspired menu of salads, cheeses, and flatbreads are offered to enjoy and pair with the adventurous selection of wines. The proprietor (Rita) is gracious and well-versed in the world of wine, and can offer a wealth of knowledge, guidance and assistance in selecting the wine that fits your palate. Special tastings and winemaker events are offered, see site for details. www.villagevino.com
Relm Wine and Beer Bistro: With locations in downtown Carlsbad and in the San Elijo Town Center, our own backyard wine bar and its Carlsbad big-sister feature a selection of quarterly-rotating by-the-glass offerings as well as limited-production bottles to enjoy on location or at home at low-retail pricing. The bistro menu includes salads, cheeses, panini and pasta, and live local music and locally-produced art are frequently on display. Happy hour weekdays 3-6 pm. www.thewinerelm.com
Vin De Syrah: A unique, “underground club” atmosphere downtown in the Gaslamp district that you have to see to believe. This wine “Garden of Eden” would look more at home in New York or Los Angeles, and certainly has a bit more of an “edgy” vibe that caters to a diverse and somewhat younger crowd. “Sangria Sundays” are a hit, as are the reservation-only Friday and Saturday night “sommelier” wine tastings paired with selected canapés. Cheeses, cured meats and small bites along with a full bar of spirits are also served in this subterranean contemporary space. 901 5th Avenue, San Diego www.yrahwineparlor.com
Orfila Vineyards and Winery: Feel like a wine-country getaway but don’t want to go too far? Check out Orfila Vineyards and Winery for the total experience. This boutique, award-winning winery nestled in the nearby San Pasqual Valley is located on 35 acres of rolling hills planted to a variety of grapes, and offers vast and picturesque picnic and park areas. The tasting room is accommodating and friendly and you can taste through a variety of locally produced wines including white, rose, red and sweet. Tours and special events are offered, and this is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon or bring out-of-town guests or the entire family for a picnic or gathering. Current releases and picnic supplies are available for purchase at the tasting room. www.orfila.com

Discover Your Wine Preference In Fun and Intimate Environments By: Sabrina Lamberson
Last month, on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sehfountain), we asked you what your favorite watering holes are. Many of you listed wine bars and breweries that you love, but a majority of you responded that you often prefer to sit in your backyard with friends and family and share a glass of wine. We asked Sabrina Lamberson to share her expertise with us, and to show us how we can better enjoy that glass of wine, in the comfort of our own home. Salut! – Editor’s note I began my professional journey into the world of wine four years ago as an Independent Wine Consultant with the Napa Valley winery, WineShop at Home. As a wine enthusiast, the best way to really understand your wine preference is to simply taste many styles of wine. It’s interesting to discover what some current trends among wine drinkers are at this time. According to Wine Institute President and CEO, Bobby Koch, California wines are in sync with consumer tastes and California wines have become a preferred lifestyle choice. He also noted that baby boomers are the largest contributor to overall wine sales! What kinds of wines are people buying? Un-oaked Chardonnay remained the most popular wine, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Grigio and White Zinfandel. The most impressive gains were Muscato, growing by 73 percent on volume, and sweet red wines with growth over 200 percent.
Are your wine preferences in sync with the above trends? One way to find out is to take a Vinotype quiz. When I went to our winery’s National Convention last year in Napa, we took a class from the Wine Master, Tim Hanni. He taught us an amazing way to simplify the process of determining your personal wine Vinotype. This is done through a series of questions that analyze your preferences for sweet and salty food and drinks. Your personal Vinotype is then developed from your answers. This amazing quiz allows you to know why you like the style of wines that you do, and to make better choices when purchasing wine. This quiz is offered through our winery at our in-home wine tastings.
Learning more about your wine preferences can also be done by visiting local wine bars and enjoying several styles of wines by ordering a “flight” of wine. When you do this, ask the wine steward what types of appetizers or tapas they recommend to pair with the wines. You will discover surprising new things such as how spicy food can make a sweet style wine taste even better!
To have something on a more intimate level with your friends, you can also make a reservation at many wine bars here in San Diego to have a private wine tasting. Some wine bars charge anywhere from $35 or more per person for a private guided tasting and you can taste different styles of wine with cheeses and light appetizers. Another alternative to this is to try our winery’s in-home wine tastings and you can have a private guided wine tasting by sampling 6 wines with 6-12 of your friends, in the comfort of your home for under a total of $50! We can also assess your Vinotype so that you can better understand which types of wines you gravitate toward. We are fortunate here in San Diego to have many choices of venues to visit during the Fall Harvest season in the wine country to taste delicious wines. From local wine bars, wineries in San Diego and Temecula, taking a trip up to Napa/Sonoma, or enjoying private guided tastings in your own home, decide what your next venture will be in the world of wine, and jump in to taste and have fun!

Don’t Worry! Drink Up and Be Happy! By: Jennifer Gill
San Diego has so much to offer its residents and visitors: beautiful beaches, amazing weather, great museums and beer. Yes, beer. And wine. Hundreds of local brewers and vineyards host beer festivals, tastings and more almost daily. But all that beer and wine can wreak havoc on your waistline, right? Most experts would say if you want to lose weight, or keep weight off, alcohol is a no-no. But it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You can have your beer and drink it too, just as long as you go about it the right way. In fact, the occasional cocktail is actually beneficial: potentially reducing cholesterol and blood pressure, even preventing conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. A glass of red wine, for instance, can provide important antioxidants, which may reduce your risk for heart disease. And beer drinkers can rejoice knowing that their favorite hoppy beverage provides vitamin B6, which also helps reduce heart disease risk.
Notice I said a glass of wine, not the whole bottle. As with anything, moderation is key. In order to get the health benefits of alcohol, women should limit their intake to about one alcoholic beverage per day and men shouldn’t have more than two drinks per day. And when you do indulge, whether the recommended amount or more, be sure to drink plenty of water to offset the alcohol’s dehydrating effect (about 8oz of water per alcoholic drink), eat a meal with a good balance of carbohydrates and protein and get plenty of sleep.
And if you’re looking to get rid of that beer belly, you can still enjoy the occasional drink while trying to lose weight. While avoiding alcohol is your best line of defense in the battle of the bulge, it doesn’t have to be cut out completely. Instead of having a beer or glass of wine everyday, limit your intake to one or two drinks a week. This simple cut in daily calories can make a big difference. The type of alcoholic drink also matters. Most beers are about 140 empty calories per serving, meaning you don’t get much in the way of nutrition. Same goes with wine and liquor: wine is about 100 calories per 5oz glass and liquor is about 60-80 calories per 1oz serving. And mixed drinks can be off-the-charts high in calories with all the add-ins. Choose your poison wisely: mix wine or liquor with
club soda to cut the calories while still enjoying a drink. Avoid mixing with juice and “mixers� as they can add a lot of unwanted calories. You can also opt for a light beer, which are often half the calories of regular beer.
Of course you can’t lose the beer gut without moving your body. Cardiovascular exercise like walking, running and biking are all great ways to burn fat and build cardiovascular fitness (most important for losing belly fat). And while strength training is important, focusing on belly-busting moves alone won’t do the trick. Your best bet is to combine cardiovascular exercise with whole-body-toning strength training. Perhaps you should join the next Run + Yoga program with Sole Health and Wellness and Ignite Yoga right here in San Elijo Hills!
Lastly, no weight-loss routine is complete without proper nutrition. Think of your body as a machine that needs clean fuel to run well. You wouldn’t necessarily skimp on the fuel you use in your car. It won’t run for very long, or as well, if you give it nasty, cheap gas. Your body is the same way. You can’t live life to the fullest on cheap, nasty food. Aim for a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources and plenty of water. If the majority of your foods and drinks are good, the occasional alcoholic beverage won’t make that much of a difference. Cheers! Jennifer Gill, MPH, is an RRCA-certified running coach, licensed sports nutritionist and the Founder of Sole Health and Wellness. We offer individual, community and corporatebased running and nutrition programs designed to help individuals get more active, get healthier and live happier lives! We even have group running programs right here in San Elijo Hills! For more information, check out www.solehealthandwellness.com or email jenn@ solehealthandwellness.com.Â

Safe Use of Alcohol By: Alexandra Donnelly, LCSW, DCSW
Exploring an Age-old Question: Is it Possible to Teach the Safe Use of Alcohol? There are some societies that have been successful in significantly reducing problems resulting from alcohol abuse. Can Americans utilize their techniques, both within our own families and within our society; to reduce the problems that we face around alcohol abuse? Some individuals feel that consumption of any amount of alcohol is comparable to the use and abuse of illegal drugs. It has been well documented that historically, humankind has had a relationship with beverage alcohol for over 6,000 years. I believe that it is possible to approach alcohol use from an intelligent, reasonable perspective.
Abusive drinking is, without question, a serious problem. However, can Americans learn from the approach modeled by the Italians, Greeks, Jews and some other cultures? Basically, there are three major beliefs that contribute to safe alcohol consumption: 1. In these cultures, the substance of alcohol is seen neutrally. It is neither a panacea nor a forbidden fruit.
2. The act of drinking is seen as a natural part of the culture. The concept of teen social pressure to drink doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist, and excessive drinking is never tolerated or revered. 3. Education about drinking begins immediately and is exhibited through the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; example and supervision. Young people are taught that drinking alcohol in moderation can provide important health benefits and be enjoyable. This three-step approach has aided many cultures in reducing, if not avoiding, the alcohol abuse problems plaguing our society. In America,
alcohol has often become associated with disdain, something to be feared. Some would even go so far as to promote abstinence as the best choice for all people. As with so many important topics in our society, behavior can be best led by example. For our children, families, friends and neighbors, nothing speaks more strongly than our own behavior as a role model. In the end, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that any of us can really control. Preaching to people about â&#x20AC;&#x153;what not to doâ&#x20AC;? rarely results in efficacious education. So the question is: As a community, can we:Â
â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage and applaud only moderate use of alcohol, among those who choose to drink. Both moderate drinking and abstinence should be presented as equally acceptable choices. â&#x20AC;˘ Cultivate and promote clear distinctions between safe, drinking in moderation as opposed to hazardous excessive alcohol consumption. â&#x20AC;˘ Firmly penalize unacceptable drinking, both legally and socially. Abusing alcohol must never be accepted as an excuse for illegal, crude or hurtful behavior. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) states the following:
â&#x20AC;˘ Alcohol abuse is a pattern of drinking that results in harm to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, interpersonal relationships, or ability to work. Manifestations of alcohol abuse include the following: â&#x20AC;˘ Failure to fulfill major responsibilities at work, school, or home â&#x20AC;˘ Drinking in dangerous situations, such as drinking while driving or operating machinery â&#x20AC;˘ Legal problems related to alcohol, such as being arrested for drinking while driving or for physically hurting someone while drunk â&#x20AC;˘ Continued drinking despite ongoing relationship problems that are caused or worsened by drinking â&#x20AC;˘ Long-term alcohol abuse can turn into alcohol dependence.
Consult your personal health care provider if you feel you or someone you know has a drinking problem. Other resources include the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Referral Routing Service available at 1-800662-HELP. This service can provide you with information about treatment programs in your local community and allow you to speak with someone about alcohol problems.

Halloween Fun! Halloween for Teens Submitted by Patti Hart, Director, Soul Care Ministry, Estrella Mountain Church
How old is too old to Trick-or-Treat? I’ve been too old for a while now, and yet I still want to participate – it’s just too much fun! I love seeing kids of all ages marching down the sidewalks incognito. The beautiful fairy princesses and muscle-padded superheroes steal our hearts. The ghastly red-eyed goblins and hairy monsters stay true to their old roles of scaring away the evil spirits so they don’t spoil the feasts of tomorrow. And the grown-ups – parents acting like kids on one of those rare days when culture permits; their excitement, laughter, and embarrassing get-ups make it feel like we are all part of one wacky family. But what to do on the cool, dark evenings of the harvest season if you are just too refined for door-to-door candy-begging? Throw a fiercely fearless party. Set out some hot-dog mummies, pecan-caramel spiders, and gross carrot-fingers (www.foodnetwork.com) and a punch bowl with a few floating eyeballs, and your home will be filled with teens far too sophisticated for childish candy-begging. To plan a great teen spookfest, keep these things in mind: WHO is on the guest list? How many? If you allow guests to bring a guest, keep your list short and stick to it. Know the name and number of parents of each invited guest. For fun and confirmation of invitation, ask invited guests to give a “secret password or scary gesture” when they enter. WHERE is the gathering? Which rooms will be open for the party? Will it be just one house, or will several homes be hosting (see Treasure Hunt)?
WHEN does it start and f inish? Designate on the invitation what time kids should show up, whether there will be offsite games, and what time to return. Of course, give an end time, and start “serving coffee” (or give parting gifts) about 15 minutes prior. HOW will you entertain? Allow time for socializing and eating, and have a good parent/teen ratio, but don’t be a helicopter! Give them some privacy. Pick a couple of classic thrillers to watch, have a favorite monster theme, or try: TREASURE HUNT (think Goonies but stay within your budget): • Create two different maps that lead to the same final location. Have them make two teams. • At several different points (perhaps other friends’ homes where parents are in on it) on each map, include an obstacle or clue they have to find, or set up a scare and present evidence (camera phone shot of something creepy in a tree, etc) at the final location. • The final location is where the “treasure” is found. It’s Halloween, so make it fit the occasion! • You’ll want guests to make their way back to the original party site before the end time, so that house is a good “final location.” Keep curfew in mind when you plan the details of the hunt. Whatever the level of refinery the teens in your life demand, be prepared for them to regress developmentally back to fairy-princess, muscle-paddedsuperhero status at some point in the evening. And feel free to join them. Halloween, in spite of, or perhaps because of, all its controversy, is America’s number two beloved holiday. So go out there (or stay in there) and give those evil spirits a spook of your own.

on your doorstep San Elijo Hills Women’s Club San Elijo Hills Women’s Club Hosts Food Drive for The Angel’s Depot –Saturday, October 20 The San Elijo Hills Women’s Club (SEHWC) is hosting our fourth Food Drive to support The Angel’s Depot (www.angelsdepot.org) on Saturday, October 20, 8:30am to 6pm, in front of Albertsons here in San Elijo Hills. The Angel’s Depot is a non-profit organization located in Vista. It provides free food for San Diego County senior citizens living below the poverty level of $950 or less per month. “Senior Food-for-aWeek” 21-meal emergency boxes contain 21 nutritious, nonperishable meals, which provide food security until the seniors’ next Social Security check arrives. Over 50,000 senior citizens live in poverty in San Diego County. The Angel’s Depot says their work will not be finished until there are no more seniors living with the pain and shame of hunger.
The April 2012 SEHWC Food Drive collected over 800 cans of food and several cash donations from the generous SEH community. Those donations helped to provide nourishment to the now-900 seniors who receive meal boxes each month. How can you help? Shop at Albertsons on Saturday, October 20. Look for the tower of cans inside the front entrance and purchase any 15-ounce canned fruits or canned vegetables. Simply give your cans to the women of SEHWC who will be in front of the store to accept your contributions. Because The Angel’s Depot is a non-profit organization, your donations are tax deductible.

in your backyard Fall Starts with a Flurry A number of community events take place this fall. Here are just a few things happening in the City of San Marcos in October.
3. Stay informed: Know what disasters are of particular risk to your community and familiarize yourself with city and workplace evacuation plans. San Diego County residents can also register phones with AlertSanDeigo to receive emergency notification alerts.
Fire Department Recognizes National Fire Prevention Week
4. Get involved: Find opportunities to support community preparedness. The City of San Marcos offers free CPR classes and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training courses.
Chris Orlando: City Council
Saturday, October 13 from 10am to 2pm, San Marcos residents, students and visitors are invited to attend a free Open House hosted by the San Marcos Fire Department (SMFD).
The SMFD Open House at Fire Station #1, located at 180 West Mission Road, is being held in recognition of National Fire Prevention Week. Activities for all ages are planned including station tours, fingerprinting, firefighting demonstrations and a firefighters’ BBQ. Guests will learn about fire safety and emergency preparedness. City Promotes Preparedness
With the beginning of fire season, fall is always a good time to make safety top priority. Last month San Marcos participated in National Preparedness Month, a nationwide effort sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and schools.
Street Maintenance Continues
Several San Marcos streets will receive routine maintenance in the coming weeks as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to maintaining its roadways.
Several streets will receive a two-part process of a scrub seal followed by a slurry seal. Other streets in need of less maintenance will receive just the slurry seal. A scrub seal applies liquid asphalt to the existing roadway surface then covers that with aggregate rock called chip. The slurry seal process gives a street a smooth black finish. This type of maintenance to city streets significantly extends the life of existing pavement by protecting the undersurface from the effects of aging and the environment.
Being prepared not only helps your family be safe, but also reduces the impact of large-scale events and ensures recovery of our region when emergency responders are spread thin.
Notices will be mailed to affected residences and ongoing information will be posted on the city’s website, www.san-marcos.net (click “Road Work” on the homepage). Residents may sign up to receive traffic e-alerts as the project progresses, and/or they may choose to follow updates on the city’s Facebook and Twitter feeds.
Here are some helpful emergency preparedness tips:
Annual VIBE Volunteer Event Takes Place October 20th
1. Make a plan: Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so plan ahead, map out safe places and determine how you will contact one another. 2. Build a kit: Have an emergency kit with at least three days’ worth of essentials at your home that includes food, one gallon of water per person per day, medications, important family documents and specialized items like baby or pet supplies.

Re-Elect Randy Walton to the San Marcos School Board Top Issues / Priorities:
Continued Academic Success. Since I was first elected to the board, SMUSD has gained more than 50 points in the Academic Performance Index, ranking it fourth of 12 unified districts in San Diego County. Eight SMUSD schools became California Distinguished Schools, and today more SMUSD students are college-ready than at any time in the district’s history. San Marcos High Construction. When I first ran for the Governing Board, one of my goals was to expedite the reconstruction of San Marcos High School. It’s remarkable how far we’ve come. The construction is well underway, and the new campus is starting to take shape. My goal is to have the project completed on time and on budget.
“Our students deserve high expectations from their district leaders, and a curriculum which demands the best from them. Students and families also deserve a positive learning environment, including modern campuses, good teachers, and a campus culture that encourages success. If re-elected, my ongoing mission as a board member will be to promote academic excellence, maintain fiscal prudence, and to support programs that give all students in the district the opportunity to succeed.” – Randy Walton
Qualifications:
1. Current President, Governing Board San Marcos Unified School District 2. Founder, Valley of Discovery Education Foundation 3. Acquired $6 million grant for San Marcos Unified School District 4. Helped draft Ridgeline Protection Ordinance for the City of San Marcos 5. Board Member, San Marcos Youth Baseball 6. Education: UC San Diego, B.A.; California Western School of Law, J.D.
Easing Over-Crowding. Growth in western San Marcos and eastern Carlsbad is impacting San Elijo elementary and middle schools. The construction of a new K-8 school in southwest San Marcos to ease overcrowding is a top priority. Sound Fiscal Policies. Making financial decisions that are in the best interests of students is my number one priority. In the last four years, we have been able to successfully navigate these terrible budget times while simultaneously helping the district improve the quality of education it provides to its students. Teacher Development. Our teachers should receive continuing education on the latest developments in teaching, and in the subject matters they teach A Voice For Parents. It is important that parents of students have a voice in district affairs. As a board member, I will continue to make myself available to all parents so their questions and concerns will be answered and addressed. Nine-Year San Elijo Hills Resident

The Retina & Retinal Eye Exams The light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the inner eye is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;retinaâ&#x20AC;?. Images that you look at are projected through the pupil and focused onto the retina. The rod and cone cells in the retina then convert that image into electric signals, which are then sent to the brain through the optic nerve. Understandably, the retina is vital to your visual system, and if damaged or diseased, can cause blindness or loss of vision. There are 3 important structures in the retina:
t Optic Nerve: The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that connects the eye to the brain. This nerve carries visual signals to the brain, much like the cables that connect a DVD player to your TV. t Macula: This is the area of the eye with the highest density of rods and cone cells. Much like more pixels in a digital photo give you a clearer higher resolution image... the higher density of rods and cone cells in the macula give you more detailed and higher resolution central vision.
t Retinal Blood Vessels: These are the arteries and veins that feed the eye nutrients and oxygen and are responsible for removing waste materials. The retina needs a constant blood supply to function properly and provide good vision. There are many diseases and disorders that can affect the retina. Systemic disorders such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, atherosclerosis, blood disorders, and many more can negatively affect retinal health. External factors such as accidents/injuries, UV light, lasers, smoking, occupational hazards, and medications can also cause damage to the retina and affect your vision. Some conditions like
w w w.th efo u n ta i n- o n li ne .co m

glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal detachments/ holes, can have some genetic inheritance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but can also occur spontaneously in individuals with no family history of these issues. Because there are so many known (and unknown) conditions that can cause problems for the retina, it is important to have the health of your retina assessed yearly at your comprehensive eye exam â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if you do not wear glasses or have perfect vision.
The latest technology that we have to screen central retinal health is the retinal camera. This camera uses a special set of focusing lenses to take a quick and painless digital image of your retina. Most of the time, good images can be taken without dilation eye drops, and there are no side effects (other than the temporary brightness from the camera flash). In addition, these photos can be used as a baseline to look for changes that can occur to your retina through the years. Although this instrument is not yet considered the standard of care, it is quickly becoming so. In our office, we offer digital retinal photography to all patients for a nominal fee, and are happy to email these photos to our patients at no charge. A more comprehensive way to assess eye health is with the dilated eye exam. Without dilating the pupils, peripheral portions of the retina are not viewable. It is important to view these parts of the retina in order to properly assess eye health and screen for potentially vision threatening conditions. The dilation also allows for a much more thorough assessment of the central retina, as it increases the field of view for the doctor to see inside the eye - much like viewing the inside of a room is easier through a big open doorway vs. an old fashioned keyhole in the door. In order to dilate the eyes, the technician or doctor will put eye drops into the eyes, and when the pupil widens, the doctor will exam the retina using a special headmounted scope. In my office, we offer the dilated eye exam free of charge within 30 days of your compre-
hensive eye exam. The main side effects of dilation include blurry vision, light sensitivity, and inability to focus for a few hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because of this; it is usually a good idea to have a driver take you home.
Ask your eye doctor for more information on how you can keep your retina healthy, and what tools they use to check your retinal health.
Dr. Mika Fu has been a resident of San Elijo Hills since 2005, and has been serving the eye-related needs of San Elijo Hills and the greater San Marcos community since 2008. Dr. Fu received her doctoral degree from the Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO), her Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree from Occidental College. She completed internships providing broad clinical experience at the Naval Medical Hospital San Diego, Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital, and the Center for the Partially Sighted in Santa Monica.

October 1 – PTO Meeting, 6pm, Library
Hello SEES families! We are so happy to inform you that this year the PTO is hosting countless hours of fun, educational and exciting events for the SEES children and their families. We will be bringing back many favorite events such as The Monster Bash Family Dance, The Book Fair, The Father-Daughter Dance, and the Art Auction. We will also be presenting some new activities that are sure to become favorites such as Night with SAM. However, these events cannot succeed without the help of volunteers. We will need to fill over 1,200 hours of volunteer time. That is why this year we are asking each family at SEES to generously Give 2. Giving only two hours of volunteer time for the year will ensure that our events are a success. Are you willing 2 make a difference this year and Give 2? Remember, when you Give 2, you are giving 2 SEES, you are giving 2 your community and most importantly, you are giving 2 your children. Please, make the commitment to SOAR this year and Give 2! If you would like to be placed on the SEES Volunteer distribution list so that you may be made aware of the PTO activities that require volunteer time, please send us an e-mail at sees_volunteer@yahoo.com. This does not obligate you to volunteer for any event. Thanks for your dedication to SEES!

Is Your Child Too Sick for School? When should you let your child stay home? Here are a few guidelines you might want to follow: A runny nose is the way many children respond to pollen, dust, chalk or simply a change of season. If it isn’t the common cold, then it’s an allergy. Don’t keep the child home from school. A bad cough or cold symptoms (including thick greenish drainage) can indicate a severe cold, bronchitis, sinusitis, flu or even pneumonia. A common cold should not last longer than 3-5 days. If your child has any of these symptoms with a fever it could be serious. Check with your doctor right away. Diarrhea and vomiting make children very uncomfortable. If your child has repeated episodes of diarrhea and vomiting, accompanied by a fever, a rash, or general weakness, consult a doctor and keep your child out of school until the illness passes. If your child has a fever of 100 degrees F or higher they must stay home from school until their temperature has been normal (98.6) for 24 hours.
San Elijo Elementary PTO wants to thank the following: Jamba Juice (Encinitas) for the refreshing smoothies on the first day of school. Dovetail Marketing for the donation of wipes for our Kindergarten and First Grade Classes. Flippin’ Pizza and FroYo for a successful first stop on the SEES Restaurant Tour of San Marcos. Thanks to our 59 Target Redcard members, we received a donation for the 2011-2012 school year totaling $1,325.80. Thanks to our four members of the CapitalOne San Elijo Elementary School give back program, we received a quarterly donation in the amount of $202.79. Thank you to Karen Morton with Masters Realty for providing a breakfast for our Room Parents at the Room Parent meetings on September 18 & 19! The Clothing Exchange was a success! A special thanks goes out to the following families: Werts Family, Weening Family, Herbert Family, Smith Family, Cloutier Family, Eacret/Linster Family, Judd Family, Dycus Family, Vasquesz Family and the many other families that took the time to donate. All extra clothes have been donated to Straight from the Heart in San Marcos.
Coffee Chat with Mrs. Kalicki, Principal Recently, we held our first “Coffee Chat” at SEES. Coffee Chats are an opportunity for me to address the parent population in an informal setting and share about what’s happening on campus. In August, I spoke about technology at SEES – our philosophy behind it, how it relates to the newly adopted Common Core standards, what equipment we have and are acquiring, and ways in which our teachers and students are using technology to enhance their learning each day. Technology is evolving at a pace few could have predicted and students can either be passive receivers of media messages or they can be digital content creators and critical thinkers.

school news Being a Leader at SEMS
By: Skylar Starrs Siben
Around a month ago, we voted for the students who would represent our school as the President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. All of the candidates had to be a part of ASB, and I thought that they all had fantastic speeches. The winners were Olivier for president, Grace for Vice President, Josh for treasurer and Dani for secretary. Here are some of the promises they made in their speeches that convinced the students to vote for them. I am confident that they will be great leaders for our school. Olivier, who was elected as president, promised to make school a fun place to learn. He said that he would be open to any ideas the students may have and encourages them to talk to him.
Grace, who is our VP, has promised to be a huge help to the President and any student who needs her. She will also be open to the ideas of the students. Josh, our treasurer, has promised to use our money wisely for fun activities that will benefit the students. Finally, Dani, our secretary, has promised to keep great notes on everything ASB does. She loves writing and hopes to be able to work on her writing skills while in this position. If all of our elected leaders keep the promises they have made, it’s going to be another great year at SEMS.

San Marcos High School
By: Priyanka Athalye
October’s here and we’re all getting into the fall spirit. I’m sure that by now, everyone is settled in and accustomed to the new school year. For me, it has been an amazing first month at the high school. We freshmen were all welcomed into the school with the Knighthood assembly. Everybody who went had a great time, despite the heat, and got “Knighted” into SMHS. I think the sense of family and friendship is a huge theme with the SMHS Knights. Particularly, in our marching band, everyone from the freshmen to the seniors fit in like it’s a huge family. It’s comforting to have these people around me who go through the same things as I do, and to have real friends whom I can fall back on at any time. Other sports teams experience the same relationship with their team players, but some individuals aren’t as lucky. In fact, many people are completely shut out of friendships. On September 7, we all had the chance to sign up for school clubs. We chose from various clubs featuring community service, arts and crafts, etc. I chose to be a part of a community service club called Key-Club, and a bully awareness club, SAB, standing for Students Against Bullying. Bullying is
becoming a serious issue nationwide. SMHS has zero tolerance towards bullying, as do many schools now. Our school is lucky enough to not have serious problems with bullies; however at other high schools, people find ways around the rules and restrictions. This is hurting people everywhere, and help is necessary. When you see others being demeaned or bullied, step up and help them. At the high school, bullying is completely out of the question. In our Knight Regiment marching band specifically, I know from experience that no matter how stupid someone looks as they are learning to march, nobody laughs at that person. This creates a supportive environment, with everyone trying their best to become better at what they do. Instead of laughing or poking fun, students help one another and respect their efforts. This equality and support is what has made our band the exceptional success it is. I think we can incorporate this enthusiasm and readiness to become better into our own little family in San Elijo Hills. Neighbors and friends, step up and help, step up and support the community we have here. Remember this quote by James Heller, “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

me et the
people in your neighborhood Palomar Health Expresscare One weekend in September, I woke up with pain so unbearable that I was unable to take a shower, or walk to the bathroom without being hit with waves of nausea and dizziness. For a mother to say that muscle spasms and muscle pain is worse than actually being in labor seems improbable, and yet, I promise you, that on that pain scale of 1-10 that the doctors always speak of, my pain level was at a 9 and furiously climbing towards an 11. My husband was surprised when I voluntarily asked to go to the doctor (I never ever do!), and when I did, he suggested that we go to Palomar Health Expresscare right in our very own Albertsons store. If you need to see a family nurse practitioner that works in collaboration with board-certified physicians, you need look no further than our grocery store. Palomar Health Expresscare treats many common medical conditions including strep throat, allergies, ear infections, skin conditions, cold and flu and minor injuries, while also providing select health screenings, physical exams, smoking cessation and weight loss consultations. I got there at 8:50am and waited for the Nurse Practitioner to come in at 9am, and when she did, I was whisked into the office, looked at immediately, diagnosed, prescribed with pain medication, and was out the door at 9:25. My prescription was filled immediately and conveniently at our Sav-on, where the super helpful staff had the meds ready to go in under 10 minutes. My nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was Monica Sprague, and she was one of the most help-

By: Karishma Sinnott ful, kind, efficient nurses I have had the pleasure of meeting. Because I tend to shy away from medication in general, my body has the most violent reaction to prescription meds when I am forced to take them. Monica sat down and told me about her aunt, who is also very sensitive to medication. Since she has been treating her aunt over the years, she knew exactly what to do. She discussed the choices with me and together we came up with a treatment plan that I felt I could handle without too much discomfort. I started to feel better almost instantly, and even though I know that as I get older, my aches and pains seem to multiply exponentially, at least now I know where to go, and who to speak with when I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal with it on my own. Monica is one of many nurse practitioners that are here to help us at Palomar Expresscare. Mine was a painless trip to the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, and I hope that you will use this incredibly convenient facility that we are blessed to have, right at our doorstep.

Halloween for the Food-Allergic Child Candy and foodcentered holidays such as Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are complicated for kids with food allergies.
You can buy these type of things and many others at one of my favorite party favor stores: • Oriental Trading: Games and Novelties: www.orientaltrading.com My husband and I have also blogged a lot about this topic. He’s a link to blog post most relevant to your question:
OK, so pretty much anything you would think of to put in a goody bag at one of your children’s birthday parties is a perfect non-candy Halloween offering. We like to have two baskets of treats available for Trick or Treaters: one with candy and one non-candy. Then the kids can choose for themselves which they prefer. We often find that kids with no food allergies pick from the non-candy basket, because it’s different and fun! Here are some ideas: • Temporary tattoos • Stickers • Blingy toy rings
• Small playdoh containers • Glo-Sticks • Halloween-themed novelties

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Time to Know Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Our Food It seems that we are finally starting to pay more attention to our food. Where does our food come from? Who grows it, and how is it grown or raised? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the food that we eat everyday? We are shifting in this country, towards really learning and caring about the quality of our food. In the middle of last century, food became about convenience instead of nutrition and taste. We were all supposed to work as much as possible and eat our food from frozen packages, as this was considered an advancement of food technology. Since the mid-1990s, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been subjected to another supposed advancement in food technology: genetically modified organism (GMO) foods. Unfortunately, this technology is often used without safety-testing and without consumer knowledge and consent. A friend who just started learning about GMOs told me she felt badly that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about them before now. It got me thinking, as I felt the same way when I first learned about what was going on with our food supply, how could I not know I was feeding my kids genetically modified food? And why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I even know what they were? The Non-GMO Project Shopping Guide says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;GMOs (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;genetically modified organismsâ&#x20AC;?) are organisms that have been created through the genesplicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This relatively new science allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Virtually all commercial GMOs are bred to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. None of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition or any other consumer benefit. Studies, meanwhile, increasingly show a correlation between consumption of GMOs and an array of health risks.â&#x20AC;? (See www.nongmoproject.org/consumers/.)
â&#x20AC;&#x153;GM crops were widely introduced in 1996. Within nine years, the incidence of people in the US with three or more chronic diseases nearly doubled â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 7% to 13%. Visits to the emergency room due to allergies doubled from 1997 to 2002. And overall food related illnesses doubled from 1994 to 2001, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Obesity, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and autism are also among the conditions that are skyrocketing in the US.â&#x20AC;? (See http://urbangardenmagazine. com/2009/11/the-big-gmo-cover-up-2/.) Unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic, 80 percent of the processed foods in the supermarkets contain genetically engineered ingredients â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly from soy, corn, canola, and sugar beets. These same foods are on the market in Europe without GE ingredients because the people spoke up and first demanded labeling, and also said they would not buy the food if it had GE ingredients. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel badly if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about GMOs. Educate yourself about genetically engineered food. Tell your family and friends. What we eat affects our health and the health of our children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take back our food. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in California, you can join the effort to get Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods on the California ballot for November 2012. We have thousands of volunteers across the state and we have gotten enough signatures to get this on the ballot. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on education and outreach. We have speakers and educational films that we can bring to your school, yoga studio, doctors office, or church. To learn more, go to: www.Labelgmos.org; www.responsibletechnology. org; and www.organicconsumers.org. Sheri Fogarty has her degree in Nutrition and has advanced training in alternative medicine and classical homeopathy. She writes about GMOs and real food at www.momsforsafefood. org.

business highlight Beer and Wine...AND Delicious Food By: Karishma Sinnott
Since a lot of this issue of The Fountain is dedicated to wine bars and microbreweries, this article is for all the non-drinkers out there. If you, like me, don’t drink at all, and save all your calories for food, then this is the article you want to read! When I discovered that this issue of The Fountain would revolve around wine bars and watering holes, my husband John was really excited! This is the one issue he would be happy to help out with, especially if it involved the sampling of some great beer. It’s being said that San Diego is fast becoming the microbrewery capital of the United States. Well, at least that’s how it seems to me, as small, medium and large breweries appear to be popping up at every corner. As I was driving home from a gymnastics’ drop off, I noticed that Stumblefoot has opened right off of Melrose Avenue. Vista houses many microbreweries; it seems to be the hub for craft beer here in North County San Diego. Right here in San Marcos, we have a good selection of ale houses as well. Recently, because of this issue of The Fountain, I took my family to dinner at Sublime (oh, the things I do for our paper). They have a wonderful array of beer on tap, and we had a delicious dinner, with a menu that is full of comfort foods. Customize your own macaroni and cheese (our kids had a blast with the options) or hamburger. Try the “Slap Yo Mama” burger with brie, caramelized onion and bacon jam. Sample their truffle fries (if you’re going to order the garlic aioli, make sure you ALL eat it, and there will be no kissing for days after), or sweeten your mouth with a Stout Float or Daily Bread Pudding special. It seems like the motto is, “The more the merrier” as far as microbreweries and ale houses go. Of course, most everyone knows about Stone Brewery in Escondido, and Port Brewing Company in Carlsbad, both of which serve really good food to go with your pint of beer as well. But I have been told that the new trend is the small, back-to-basics brewing companies that serve beer, and have food trucks selling food close by, so that you can grab some carbohydrates to suck up that alcohol and never leave the beer far behind as you go in search of food. Gastropubs are ever prominent as well, and the whole concept of the gastropub seems to have escalated to new levels. As someone who doesn’t drink at all, I tend to favor the gastropub more than a brewing company that does not serve food. On a recent date night (again, in honor of this issue of the paper), my husband and I went to The Hopping Pig on Fifth Avenue, in the Gaslamp District. We were walking towards The Field, an Irish pub that is also downtown, and happened to stop outside a busy, “hopping” pub that seemed too interesting to pass up. First of all, The Hopping Pig doesn’t look like your usual pub – the mason jar light fixtures gave a warm, earthy feel to it, and the open windows with seating facing the street allowed visitors to watch the passers-by. Half

the fun of going downtown is people watching, isn’t it? You see a veritable pantheon of people from all parts of the world, all walks of life, all ages, generally out and about with one goal in mind – to have a good time! I know I should probably talk about the beer, but I’m going to tell you about the menu first. Several things popped right out at me as soon as I sat down – The Gouda Burger (with the ubiquitous fried egg that seems to be all the rage right now), The Angry Gnocchi (Gnocchi with a jalapeno bolognese), Carnitas Tacos (with a tomatillo salsa that was incredible), Pulled Pork Burgers (with a brandied coleslaw), and Fried Calamari (with aioli and marinara sauce that were both outstanding accompaniments). The best part about all the food was that it is all local, organic and sustainable whenever possible. We love to be able to support our local farmers, especially when they are producing such high quality ingredients. My husband was impressed with our waiter – he ordered a “Sampler Platter” (four four-ounce glasses of beer), and asked the waiter to surprise him. The waiter asked John what he didn’t like, as opposed to what he liked, and took it upon himself to produce a well balanced, varied sampler, with local and international beer, ranging from light pilsners to more full-bodied beer. Some had coffee undertones, some had the taste of honey lurking in the background. Even I liked one of them, and I don’t like alcohol at all. I think we had little samplers of beer from San Diego, Colorado, Hawaii, New York and Belgium. Everyone has their favorite beer, and I think that for beer-drinkers, half the fun is trying a new one to see where it fits in the list of favorites. I’d like to thank all of you for telling us some of your favorite places to go for a drink. Thanks for responding to our Facebook query (www.facebook.com/sehfountain), which now reveals that these are the places you like to go when you’re in the mood to imbibe: Tommy V’s (2659 Gateway Road, Carlsbad, CA) Relm (San Elijo Hills) El Callejon (345 S. Coast Highway, Encinitas, CA) Sublime (1020 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos, CA) Vintana (1205 Auto Pkway, Escondido, CA) La Costa Resort (2100 Costa Del Mar, Carlsbad, CA) Pizza Port (571 Carlsbad Village Dr., Carlsbad, CA) Union (1108 S. Coast Highway, Encinitas, CA) Stone Brewery (1999 Citracado Pkwy., Escondido, CA) The most interesting thing I learned from responses to our question on Facebook is that no matter how much everyone loves going out for a drink, most of you (me too) seem to almost prefer a wonderful bottle of wine or an ice cold beer in your backyard, with friends and family for company, making me realize that indeed, there is no place quite like home.
