:::: FROM THE PUBLISHER It Takes a Team It has been three years since ZCode Media published its first issue with Zcode Magazine. Although we had a clear vision and determination, at the time it was hard to predict the growth and popularity that would impart on the first publication of 92127 and the eight additional zip code titles that followed. What started as a basic concept – to publish a magazine that we (my wife and I) actually wanted to read – has now developed into something much bigger than its original home-based two person operation. In fact, ZCode has evolved into a truly dynamic team of hard-working individuals. What does it take to build a good team? This seems like an easy enough question. I wish I had a simple answer. The fact is, I believe that luck plays a significant role. At ZCode Media, we have been lucky enough to build our company around incredibly dynamic and passionate people – all of whom share a strong belief in, and dedication to, the overall concept and goal of the magazines. The ZCode Magazines would simply not be what they are today without our incredible team of individuals. From our editor to our creative director, our graphic designers to our production coordinators, our sales executives to our writers and photographers – it takes a great team (along with terrific readers) to make things happen. Growing from a team of two people to a team of more than twenty strong, ZCode has a lot of things in store for 2013 and beyond. Be sure to check back in the upcoming issues to see what the team is working on.
All the best, Derrick Breaux, PUBLISHER

FORCE to be RECKONED With
Surfrider Foundation Activist, Darryl Hatheway is Doing his Part to Preserve our Oceans, Waves, and Beaches by Michelle Tremblay | photos by Soul of Photography
92009
resident, Darryl Hatheway, has been a passionate surfer for over forty-five years. Today, at age fifty-nine, his daily surf sessions are as awesome as ever, and through his involvement with the Surfrider Foundation, an organization dedicated to the preservation of oceans, waves, and beaches, Darryl is aiming to keep it this way – not only for himself but for future surfing generations to come. Before moving to Carlsbad in 2008, Darryl and his wife lived in the Washington D.C. area where Darryl began his involvement with the Surfrider Foundation. “I wanted to do something to help the oceans, and Surfrider Foundation was leading the charge to preserve and protect our beaches and surfing resources, as well as seeking ways to improve beach water quality testing,” explained Darryl. “Being at the heart of our nation’s capital, it seemed like a good place to take on the mission of Surfrider Foundation.” And that he did. Darryl began leading campaigns focusing on legislation to improve beach water quality, and soon found himself – along with three fellow surfers and Surfrider Foundation members – forming the 26th chapter of the Foundation in the Washington D.C. region. “In the year 2000 and with the support of Surfrider staff and members, we were able to help create, collaborate, and ultimately see Congress pass, and President Clinton sign the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000,” said Darryl, “a pretty awesome accomplishment for a group of passionate surfers.” Another notable feat for the Foundation, Darryl explained, came when it developed its own water testing program in an effort to prevent surfers from getting sick from polluted water. “A major legal victory was won to shut down toxic pulp mill waste into the waters of Humboldt Bay due to thousands of violations of the Clean Water Act,” stated Darryl. “This garnered lots of media attention to this little environmental group of surfers, and raised awareness of beach water quality issues.” In addition to his association with the Surfrider Foundation, Darryl has been serving on the Carlsbad Beach Preservation Committee for four years – an experience that has only strengthened his commitment to help protect community beaches. “Undoubtedly the local area is deeply rooted in the surf culture,” said Darryl, “and the fun and joy of being able to surf any given day is an amazing transformation of my lifelong dream of living near the southern California coast. Being here in Carlsbad has made all of Name: that a realty.” Age: Community: Family:

Mother Nature Can’t Do It Alone by KATHY LOY

hen you say “San Diego, California” almost anywhere in the country, people immediately think of beautiful weather and gorgeous beaches. San Diego Coastkeeper is an organization that wants to keep our most important natural resource healthy and thriving for everyone to enjoy for years to come. In 1995, San Diego Coastkeeper was launched as a two-person team focused on combating the chronic pollution of San Diego Bay. Today, the organization is part of the larger International Waterkeeper Alliance which includes nearly 200 programs headed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Locally, Coastkeeper uses community outreach, education and advocacy efforts, to empower thousands of San Diegans to be stewards of clean water and a healthy coastal ecosystem. “We are more than 15 fulltime biologists, activists and lawyers working together and with the community to protect and restore San Diego’s bays, beaches, ocean and the inland creeks, rivers and lakes that feed into them,” explained Megan Baehrens, Executive Director for the organization. San Diego Coastkeeper hosts several events each year aimed at making our beaches cleaner
and our water safer. “We host bi-monthly beach cleanups to encourage residents to help remove trash from our beaches before it makes its way into the ocean,” said Megan. They also educate residents on water quality issues and local water policies that affect all of us. A Pollution Hotline has been set up so contamination can be stopped at the source. “Somewhere around 80% of marine debris starts on land. This means that litter you see floating around your neighborhood or outside of your grocery store will eventually find its way to our beaches and waters,” explained Megan. The Waterkeeper concept dates back to a 19th-century English tradition where Riverkeepers would guard private streams so that waters remained healthy, well stocked and free of poachers. In the 1980’s, fishermen in the United States saw polluters as modern day thieves of our public resources, so waterkeeper organizations spread across the country to protect rivers, lakes, bays, sounds and coastal waters. To get involved locally, attend a monthly water quality monitoring event, be trained as a volunteer, or participate in a beach clean-up. Regardless of what you choose, do something to keep San Diego waterways as pristine as Mother Nature intended. ¢

hen Nathan Park, a junior at La Costa Canyon High School first joined the Speech and Debate team two years ago, he wasn’t completely sold. “I originally didn’t want to stay in the class, but I stuck with it. After my first tournament, I realized that it’s a great program, and I have dedicated myself to it,” revealed Nathan. This dedication has certainly paid off, as he earned the Novice of the Year award as a freshman and qualified for the state tournament as a sophomore. This year, Nathan hopes to make it all the way to the national tournament. Nathan not only excels on dry land, but also in the pool. He swims competitively year-round and is an integral part of the LCC swim team, where he was named Most Valuable Freshman during his first year on the team. “Swimming and the friends I’ve made through [the sport] are a huge part of my life,” stated Nathan. He has also been a part of LCC’s Asian Heritage Awareness club and plans to participate in Best Buddies, a program that pairs up a student with special needs and a typically developing peer to attend school activities together. Giving back to the local community is important to Nathan, who has lived in La Costa Oaks for seven years. He is the president of

When asked how he finds time for all his activities, Nathan explained that because he is “truly passionate” about everything he does, he is able to balance all of his commitments. “I can’t imagine my life without each of my activities,” related Nathan.
“Swimming and the friends I’ve made through [the sport] are a huge part of my life,” nathan young-min park Spending time with his family is also high on Nathan’s priority list. Along with his parents, brother, Eliott, and sister, Sophie, Nathan enjoys eating at Swami’s Café, Blue Ribbon Pizzeria and Sushi Bar Blue Fin. He also takes advantage of his close proximity to the ocean, frequenting Grandview and Ponto beaches. Looking to the future, Nathan plans on attending college and graduate school, but hasn’t narrowed down a field of study quite yet. “I still have a lot of options to explore and more to find out about myself,” said Nathan. Given Nathan’s track record thus far, it is safe to assume that he will put his passion and skills to good use.

Name of Chefs: The Pritchett Girls Ages: 8, 8 & 6 Community of Residence: San Diego Hobbies/Interests: Soccer, tennis, gymnastics and being anywhere where there is room to do cartwheels. Favorite Local Activity: Roller skating in our alley with the neighbors, hanging out with friends and family and going to the beach and local parks. About the Recipe: We heard about this recipe from a friend during recess/snack time at school and told our mom about it. She didn’t believe us when we said it only takes two ingredients. We proved her wrong! We dumped the yellow cake mix in a bowl and scooped out the pumpkin from the can. Our mom mixed it all together. We added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Then, with a little help, we scooped the batter in to paper muffin holders in a muffin pan. After about 30 minutes, they were done and we got to tell our mom, “We told ya so!” They were DELISH… especially after sprinkling them with powdered sugar. We can’t wait to try them with different flavors of cake. ¢

tephanie Jordan and Todd Stichler started their life journey together when they met and became friends as dorm neighbors at UC Riverside. Friendship blossomed to love as they continued to date throughout their undergraduate studies and on to pursue mutual Master’s Degrees at USD—Stephanie with an M.A. in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling and Todd with an M.B.A. They were married one year later. Stephanie enjoyed working in many facets of counseling, including nutritional, drug and alcohol, individual, and child counseling, until she became pregnant. The surprise birth of twin girls Ella and Cameryn at only 29 weeks and 2 ½ lbs. each brought her counseling work to a sweeping halt. The girls are now in 6th grade at El Camino Creek, and Todd and Stephanie have since contributed their gratitude for the family’s health and well-being into involvement with the NICU at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. Todd is an owner of LendSpark, a national, private commercial lender that helps businesses obtain the necessary financing for growth, inventory, seasonality, new technology, and equipment. He has taught Graduate Level Classes at SDSU, and was a CFO and shareholder of an architectural, engineering, and construction firm.
The Stichlers love their lives of the past nine years in La Costa Valley. They attend and are very active at Coastline Community Church, where Todd and Stephanie serve in the ministry and Cami and Ella are involved in the middle school youth group. Community service through their church is a big focus for the Stichler family. “We enjoy serving dinner at Bread of Life as a family,” Stephanie mused, “and we spent the summer making pillowcases for the homeless for the cold winter months.” For the past ten years, Stephanie has “…enjoyed nothing else but that of a wife and mother.” She is using her counseling skills again, working with pediatrician Dr. Chrystal de Frietas in a company called Healthy Chats, teaching puberty, birth, and conception seminars throughout the community and beyond. Preteens who attend with their moms learn crucial “Preparation and Knowledge” information that is accurate and age appropriate. Along with LendSpark, Todd is currently on the Board of Directors for the Sharp Healthcare Foundation. The family reads together every night. The days of Stichler life in the La Costa Valley community are stitched together as a family quilt with equal squares of service, fun, and love.
“We enjoy serving dinner at Bread of Life as a family,” Stephanie mused, “and we spent the summer making pillowcases for the homeless for the cold winter months.”

C
arlsbad Children’s Dentistry enchants children with vibrant decorations, engages them with child focused care, and encourages them to achieve a lifetime of good oral healthcare. Their goal is to make dentistry “A Walk in the Park,” where every visit is fun, relaxed and easy. The husband and wife team of Drs. Dabir and Cuisia opened their practice in April 2008 to provide the friendliest and most comprehensive detailed care for children. They are pediatric experts with two years of extensive training in children’s dentistry after their DDS program.

In addition to routine care, Dr. Dabir and Dr. Cuisia are licensed to provide care with nitrous oxide and oral sedatives for children and adolescents who may be anxious about treatment. They are also credentialed as senior staff at Rady Children’s Hospital for more extensive procedures. They are Diplomats of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and serve the community through different non-profit organizations.

elcome to the winter season at LCC. The Mavericks are coming off a strong 2011-2012 winter season and looking to be a force in 2012-2013. Last season, the boys and girls soccer teams both produced CIF Titles. Under new head coaches, Natalie Elkind (girls soccer) and Craig Dean (boys soccer), the Mavericks look to be strong contenders in the Avocado West. The boys’ basketball team is coming off an incredible season last year, winning league, CIF and State Section titles, and advancing to the State Finals. Although we lost several key starters from last season, the Mavericks will look to reload. Coach Mario Flores leads the charge for the girls’ basketball team, as they look to defend their league title from last season. They have some unfinished business in CIF, losing last season in the semi-finals to eventual champion, Serra.

Under Coach Anthony Vail the Girls Water Polo team advanced to the quarter finals last season, and they are striving to make a name for themselves again in League and beyond.

Gaming Groove! Game on Game Theater: The Party Arrives at Your House Rarin’ to Go!

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos by Michael Bielecki
one are kid parties of yore in which parents carried the burden of supervising such activities as pinning the tail on the donkey and dancing the hokey pokey. Today’s tech-savvy youth are easily bored with such mundane mediocrity, and today’s parents are frazzled with such mundane party planning responsibilities. So what’s the modern-day solution? Just contact Game On Game Theater, a state-of-the-art mobile limousine that provides an unsurpassed party gaming experience for the Xbox, Wii, and PlayStation generation. The San Diego-owned-and-operated
Game On Game Theater is available for two-hour parties, seven days a week, and the limousine arrives at your house with the festive atmosphere already intact and rarin’ to go! Owner Shane Haithcock elaborated, “We have a full leather limousine interior that offers a neon-lit ceiling that changes colors, a laser light show, and Kenwood Surround audio systems both inside and outside. It’s like a little dance club for kids!” There are 50 Name of Business: different games to Owner/Manager: choose from, ranging Years in Position: from “E” for everyone, Year of Establishment: to “T” for teen, and
“M” for mature. Fortunately, the parent remains in complete control over what games are allowed, so even your five-year-old can safely get his gaming groove on! Besides birthdays, Game On Game Theater is also great for many other occasions (i.e., sports team parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and even corporate events). The Game On Game Theater limousine surpasses its competitors, providing six 55inch screens that can accommodate up to 24 players at once, instead of the customary standard of four 46-inch screens that can only accommodate up to 16 players at once. In November of this year, the company unveiled its latest offering, the MGT 28, which features seven 55-inch screens – four inside and three outside – that can accommodate up to 28 players at once. Shane’s motivation for being the best in the gaming truck industry came after an enlightening conversation with his business partner last year. He recalled, “My partner purchased a game truck and while he felt like the venture was a success, there was a question that nagged at him that he fielded often from clients: ‘What makes your game truck better than the others?’ This question bothered him because there was nothing that made his better.” That realization prompted the partners to evolve the whole concept of game trucks, and provide an overall sensoryenlightening game party extravaganza. So get your Game On! ¢

Three Local Teens Fight Bullying One Kid at a Time by Kelley Gusich | photos by Zeena Gregg Photography
V
alorous: Bullying has been a reality since David battled Goliath, but it was brought to the forefront of our consciousness one dark morning at Columbine High School, and our nation has been battling the bully ever since. When Dimitar Gougov and Alex and Michael Bulkin saw the problem grow even larger with the advent of cyber-bullying, they heeded the call and launched the 3V movement. Vigilant: The three saw bullying as a major issue in all of their schools, and felt it would be much more powerfully addressed from a student-to-student standpoint. Dimitar, Alex, and Michael are three highly involved and influential students, and they started the 3V movement “… because we can. We are doing this because we are kids that don’t get bullied; realizing this, we felt it would be easier to stand up for our peers who do get bullied.” The organization began at Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic High Schools, but has already expanded to Rancho Bernardo, St. Augustine, Bishop’s School, Torrey Pines, and St. Michael’s, with eight more schools in the works.
Victorious : The three ‘V’s stand for Vigilance, which representsawareness of the problem and a willingness to fight it, Valor, or bravery in the face of danger—to speak up and take action—and Victory. “If we all come together and agree to the 3V pledge there is no doubt in our minds that we will achieve Victory.” The three founders trumpet this from the rooftops, and if the over 1,100 members who’ve taken the 3V pledge are any indication, people are listening. Virtually Unstoppable: 3V is sponsored by popular radio stations ENERGY 103.7 and KyXy 96.5, along with Honda, Mazda, and Audi of Escondido. The 3V men also raise money by selling T-shirts and soon sweatshirts and stickers that will improve and expand the program. The clothing is made to be appealing to kids, but also to showcase the positive message of the 3V movement: You don’t need to put others down to feel better about yourself. To join or start a 3V club at your school, simply make a pledge to remain bully free, and/or contact the3vmovement@gmail.com. Dimitar, Alex and Michael shared this message: “When you take the 3V oath you agree to stand up for each and every individual. You agree not only to stand up for yourself, but for others that are victims of bullying.” ¢

BOOKS! It’s All About Putting the Right Book in a Child’s Hand for Volunteer Jeanne Smith by kelley gusich | photos by Soul of Photography
A
fter a rewarding career teaching and administrating children in Poway Unified School District, how could Jeanne Smith continue her passion for children’s literature and getting the right book in a child’s or a teenager’s hand? She could become Chair of Children’s Books at the Dove Library, and that is what she did! Jeanne moved to the Corona-La Costa neighborhood of La Costa 17 years ago, and she loves how Carlsbad gets things done, from the responsive government to the safe and gorgeous environment, to the beautiful, well-stocked libraries. When Jeanne retired from education two years ago, volunteering at the Dove Library was a natural fit. Jeanne takes on many responsibilities as the Children’s Chair. Books are donated, and then an amazing thing happens—they are reborn! Like-new books are boxed up to use in The Summer Reading Program. “This past summer,” remarked Jeanne, “we were able to give over 3,000 children a free, good-as-new book of their choice.” She loved being able to kick off summer reading for all, because “In this struggling economy, it is even more important that we make it affordable for families to have quality literature at home.” Donated books are also sold for a nominal price at the Friend’s
Bookstore, or they might go to Peace Corps Schools, Children’s Hospital, parenting/board books for young mothers, or even the Carlsbad Learning Center. Jeanne’s job is the ultimate, efficient recycling program where everybody wins and contributes to literacy. If Jeanne had her own genie, she’d wish more people in Carlsbad were aware of the programs and services provided by the Friends of the Carlsbad Library. Books and other media are always available at the bookstore, with all proceeds going to the Library. “The daily foot traffic in our Friends bookstore,” said Jeanne, ‘is such that we are going to be open a second evening, in addition to our Monday through Friday daily hours.” Make note that Friends group is opening its doors on December 3rd for their Annual Holiday Boutique.

Holiday Magic The Halabuk “Christmas House” is a Gift to the Community
I
t’s that time of year when people are pulling out their holiday decorations, untangling strings of lights, and taking in the sweet aromas of cinnamon scented pinecones. The Halabuk family takes it all to another level – with nothing but pure joy for the spirit of the season. Their Christmas Home Lights project started small and grew very quickly. This year, after Natalie, daughter of the Halabuk’s left for her sophomore year at the Univ. of Redlands; they thought they may be able to tone down their display since she wouldn’t be around to assist with the decorating. Little did they know, Natalie is eager to come home for the holidays not just to see family and friends, but, to see the spectacle of her home all decked out again for its 20th year of holiday splendor. “We have a neighborhood tradition now for 14 years where all the neighbors meet across the street from our house for a lighting party. Everyone brings a dish and drink to share; the kids decorate cookies, and then as the kids count down, all our lights come on with a flip of the main switch,” revealed Jeanette. The lighting party opens their display and runs the first week of December with lights on 5 – 9 p.m. through January 1st (with the
exception of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.) This year, the family will be expanding their misfit island scene and bringing in some unlikely animals to their waterfall dressed for Christmas. Visitors are encouraged to view the detailed window display, discover the scene throughout the yard, and watch Santa dance when their three snow machines go off. Per Natalie’s request, after working closely with National Charity League (NCL) in high school, she has added a collection box to this year’s spectacle. Visitors are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items that will, in turn, be donated to Interfaith, a charity affiliated with NCL. The Halabuk’s had no clue that after 20 years their home would be a major destination for people seeking annual holiday magic. “Every year we have many families tell us about how their kids have grown up looking forward to visiting our ‘Christmas house’ during the holidays. That makes all the work worthwhile,” beamed Jeanette. The Halabuk home, located at 7607 Romeria St. Carlsbad, CA 92009, is sure to be a delight to people of all ages. ¢

The Holiday Basket Drive: Giving Impoverished Families their Dignity and More by LINDA FRABL
I
t may be the season to be jolly, but for those less fortunate, ‘tis the season of despair. Enter the Holiday Basket Drive, organized by the Encinitas-based Community Resource Center, North County Collaboration… Founded 30 years ago, the Holiday Basket Drive began as merely a small distribution of baskets to approximately 50 families in need. Today, the baskets have been replaced by a “shopping experience” for over 1,500 households in need, and thanks to over 200 organizations and nearly 2,000 volunteers, the drive is the largest distribution of its kind in San Diego County! As Linda Hayes, a dedicated Holiday Basket Drive volunteer for more than twenty years, exclaimed, “The program’s goal is to make a family in need feel that they are holiday shopping like everyone else.” Thus, needy families are invited to shop
with dignity at a “no cost store” that has been created at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Families “shop” by pushing actual shopping carts through a Costco-esque warehouse-like area the size of a football field. The “store” items consist of toys, canned goods, and a mix of new and gently used jackets, coats, blankets, linens, baby items, and more. The participating families must be pre-screened and registered through the Community Resource Center, and if they qualify, they will receive an appointment time to “shop” during the three-day distribution period (December 14-16). All merchandise is supplied by the numerous clothing / food / toy drives throughout San Diego, and the program is aided by grants from the county of San Diego and the cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach. In addition, TaylorMade® and Coldwell Banker, along with the Board of Realtors, provide the largest corporate food drives for the program. If you as
an individual, or your organization (boy/girl scout troop, school charity, etc.) would like to contribute to the Holiday Basket Drive, either as a volunteer or as a provider, the Community Resource Center’s website, www.crcncc.org, has detailed templates and helpful suggestions for setting up your own distribution site. Summing up the worthwhile cause, Linda said, “The program directly connects thousands in the community who want to help thousands in the community who need the help. Adults and children alike learn about the needs in our own community, and are presented with tangible ways to make a difference.” ¢

Exercise Specialist Marylene Rosa and the Pink Ribbon Program Help Breast Cancer Surgery Survivors Feel Fit Again! by LINDA FRABL
A
fter undergoing breast cancer surgery, it is difficult for women to get back into a regular fitness regimen. Having a mastectomy or a lumpectomy frequently results in loss of mobility in the shoulders and arms, as well as breathing difficulties associated with weakened abdominal muscles, and even weight gain due to steroid drug use. The Pink Ribbon Program, a physical conditioning treatment plan geared specifically for breast cancer post-op survivors, has enabled survivors to recover quickly with promising results. Marylene Rosa Kuhlmann, a 4S Ranch-based certified Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist with the Pink Ribbon Program (the only one in San Diego for the time being), lost her own friend to breast cancer 12 years ago. Shortly thereafter, while studying for her certification in Fitness Training, Marylene came across the Pink Ribbon Program’s website and discovered that its founder, Doreen Puglisi, is an exercise instructor/physiologist who had her own double mastectomy. After attending the program’s workshop at Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Reno, Marylene recalled, “I immediately knew that I would bring the Pink Ribbon Program to San Diego and that I would devote my career to helping the fighters and survivors.” The program provides two individualized sessions a week (each session lasts 30-45 minutes) for a period of eight weeks. In her studio,
Personally Fit, Inc., Marylene uses a Dyna band (elastic band) and a Stability ball to help her clients with warm-ups, personalized exercises, and stretching. She added, “My goal is to make my clients feel better and walk taller on every single session we spend together. Seeing their transformation is so rewarding!” The whole experience has allowed Marylene to become much more than just a fitness instructor; she is also a caring supporter advocating the best treatment for her clients. She elaborated, “I am somebody who my clients can call at any time, even if it’s just to give them advice on nutrition. For the ones who are still going through chemo or radiation therapy, I am part of the team of specialists communicating with their oncologist and their physician. Friendships with my clients are established quickly.” Marylene is currently developing a cancer fitness program for other types of cancer patients. She is dedicated to helping people accomplish goals to improve their quality of life. For more information on the Pink Ribbon Program or other fitness related questions, visit www.pinkriboonprogram.com or contact Marylene directly. ¢

The
Perfect Present W Gifts that Bring Meaning to the Season by wynne love
hether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or Festivus, you are probably one of the many who exchange gifts of one sort or another during the holiday season. I start each year with high hopes for my ability to find that perfect gift for everyone in my life. Then, when I find myself desperately racing through a packed mall for a gift for that brother who has everything, I can’t help but think there has to be a better way. Determined to find it, I compiled a list of suggestions from local families for gifts ideas that meet three criteria: not too expensive, not too difficult, and still meaningful. Here’s what they suggested.
The Gift of Time.
Spend time together doing something special. Go on a special outing, share a special meal, decorate, shop, or volunteer together.
their work while making a gift to others. For instance, families can enjoy wonderful soups made by women of the Tomorrow Project. Check them out at www.sdwbp.org.
The Gift of Service.
The Gift of Adventure.
Give them the gift of your service by offering up your help and skills: Computer help, babysitting, housecleaning, yard work, or other household projects.
Rather than exchanging gifts, agree on an outing or exciting new adventure you can enjoy together: Trapeze classes, surfing, or going camping or sledding together.
The Gift of the Unexpected.
The Gift from the Heart.
One family enjoys planning “mystery outings,” where one member takes the others to a surprise location to share something special, whether it’s an activity or something beautiful to look at. Another loved her “Twelve Days of Christmas” gift, made up of trinkets that always had something to do with the number and the song. Come up with your own fun twist on a modest gift to turn a small gesture into a grand one.
Many folks feel a simple, heartfelt note is as meaningful to them as any gift. Some have enjoyed when friends and family share a favorite book or poem, or make a gift of a great photograph or scrapbook page that celebrates a shared memory.
The Gifts You Can Use. Embrace consumables. The beauty of these gifts is that they don’t get left languishing on the shelf: Tickets to an event, flowers, fudge, cookies, or other homemade treats.
The Gift You Give. Some fabulous local charities allow you to support

A SUNNY WONDERLAND Five Great Places to Find Snow this Season by Wynne Love
I
get a secret satisfaction out of sunning myself by the beach in the middle of December. But I must admit I sometimes pine for that cool, crisp weather that makes sweaters and hot chocolate a necessity. So here: a list of places where you can get your dose of “winter” right here in sunny San Diego County.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Some local parks host their own snow days where they manufacture snow for sledding and snow play. Check yours, or swing by Hilltop Park Recreation Center’s Winter Wonderland event in Rancho Peñasquitos on Saturday, December 1st, from 11-3.
Some amusement parks create snow areas as well. Check out LEGOLAND’s Holiday Snow Days and SeaWorld’s SnowWorld, open through December.
While you can sometimes find snowy peaks and spectacular views off local climbs like Iron Mountain, Mount Woodson, and Cowles Mountain, word on the street is that the best place to play in the snow is on Mount Laguna. Call the Mount Laguna Lodge at 619-473-8533 for details, and time your arrival just long enough after a good snowfall so that you don’t get turned away due to driving conditions. Go sledding, have a snowball fight, and enjoy a hot chocolate in nearby Pine Valley.
Little ones may enjoy the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum’s Santa Train North Pole Limited. While there’s no snow in the forecast, this “polar express” train ride leaves from the Campo train depot and takes the passengers and their elf hosts to the North Pole where Santa joins them for the return trip. Rides are held weekend days through December 22nd started at $20 a seat. Find out more at sdrm.org/npl.
Up for a more daring adventure? Find snowcapped peaks an hour’s drive away at Palomar Mountain, in Julian, or up Stonewall Peak near Cuyamaca. Or, head to the top of Mount San Jacinto in Idyllwild. The park is open during the renovation of the visitor’s center, as is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a smooth gondola ride to the summit. Get the latest trail news about the San Jacinto trail at www.parks.ca.gov or tickets for the tramway at www.pstramway.com.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH
Using a Self-Directed IRA to Invest in Real Estate by SCOTT VOAK
O
ver the first two months of hosting my own radio show, the subject and interviews that have drawn the most interest have been around the subject of investing retirement funds in real estate. People with corporate 401K programs are typically limited to the ability to borrow $50,000 from their account and repaying that over five years. It’s not really investing your retirement funds in real estate, it’s giving yourself a loan – that has to be paid back with after tax dollars. Nothing that builds tax free or tax deferred. However, if you have an IRA, you have more options. With either a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA, you can convert your account to a self-directed IRA. Using a company that specializes in administering self-directed IRAs, you can invest in real estate, private companies, gold, etc. One of the main limitations is that you cannot personally benefit from the investment (in other words, no purchasing a vacation home or paying yourself to manage your properties). In fact, it is even possible to use your IRA to invest in another company that purchases real estate with other investors, forming syndicates to help spread your risk (if you have a duplex and lose a tenant, you lose ½ your income, but if you are partners in a larger building, you can handle a tenant problem or situation where you lose a portion of your rent for awhile.) It is also possible to use your self-directed IRA as a down payment and take a loan against the property. This makes sense if you can generate enough cash flow to pay off the loan to coincide with your retirement since you won’t be pulling money out along the way, 100% of the positive cash flow can go to retire the loan so the property is free and clear and ready to fund your retirement years. ¢

Carlsbad Village Street Fair photos by Soul of Photography
O
ver 900 vendors and 100,000 people attended the 39th annual Carlsbad Village Faire in early November, which seemed to have a bit of everything. The lip-smacking global dishes, imaginative face painting, the Rotary Club of Carlsbad’s entertaining beer and wine garden, and the Kiwanis Club pancake breakfast, the faire affair covered all bases. The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce could not have been better hosts to the largest street faire in the country. ¢
