Camps. Camps.

And More Camps!

Publisher Derrick Breaux Director of Business Development Jessica Breaux

I

Derrick Breaux Publisher

can’t believe we are thinking about summer already! Where does the time go? I’ve always loved summer. As a kid, I would count the days until school was out. It still seems like yesterday.

As parents, the mere concept of summer can be a little overwhelming.

Two or more months of kids at home? What in the heck are they going to do every day? How am I going to pull this off? For these reasons, last year we brought you the 1st Annual Summer Camp Guide. We had no idea of how popular it was going to be. This year, I am proud to present the 2nd Annual Summer Camp Guide (see page 28). It is bigger and better than ever! It includes tons of options to keep your youngster occupied during the long break.

Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine), kick up your feet, and take a peek at the variety of camps being offered this summer. Be sure to reserve your kid’s spot early this year, as summer camps are in high demand and things fill up quickly. And most importantly, tell them you saw their camp in the magazine!

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Camp Stories From The ZCode Team

Michelle Tremblay Advertising Sales

“I was lucky enough to attend a four-day football camp when I was a kid. We stayed in dormitories, ran cool training drills, watched football tapes, and made some great friends along the way.

It was an awesome experience!”

– Derrick, Publisher

“Leaving the classroom for the dance studio was always one of my favorite things about summer. I remember attending ballet and tap dance camps, and loving every minute!

Summer camp activities are a great way to energize yourself and get active.”

– Randi, Associate Editor

“One of my best camp memories was with the YMCA. It was held in Balboa Park. I have memories of shooting bow and arrows and learning lots about different cultures. I saw how they made teepees and learned traditional dances. It was a lot of fun.”

– Jessica, Director of Business Development

“I attended an art camp in middle school that allowed me to be creative with styles and tools I had never used before. By taking me outside my comfort zone, I learned to be more open to new ways of doing things. To this day I love the challenge of using a new art medium” – Shyanne, Associate Editor

6 • 92078Magazine.com • April | May 2016

“Summer camp is the perfect way to discover who you are and what you’re passionate about.

When I was a kid, I used to go to Girl Scout horseback riding camps every summer – 15 years later, I spend every weekend at the barn”

SAVANNA WHELPLEY UNDERSTANDS THE REWARDS OF PERSEVERANCE

by LIZ ONUFER | photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

I

t will come as no surprise that a girl named after the African Savanna and its inhabitants would be drawn to the nature of 92078. A lifelong resident of San Elijo Hills, Savanna Whelpley greatly appreciates the flora and fauna around her home. “It’s always a treat to see a coyote, cottontail, road runner, or one of many bird species,” she shared. Her affinity for the natural world is matched by her talent as an athlete, musician, and artist.

In 2008, Savanna began training at AK Martial Arts and Fitness. From her start in the Little Tiger program to her recently earned black belt, Savanna focuses more on the art than the accolades. “I have earned first, second, and third place in a few tournament events, but practicing the art, not competing, is what I enjoy most,” she said. This includes learning the Korean terminology

of her practice, Tang Soo Do. Savanna acknowledged the many challenges she faced to pass her black belt test: “There were moments when I felt like I wanted to quit, but I’m so happy I kept working hard.”

As a musician, Savanna began playing the cello in 2013. She finds the practice can be a bit difficult, but the performance is always worth it. “Finishing a piece, either a solo or as a part of the Civic Youth Orchestra, is very rewarding, especially when I get to perform in front of an audience,” Savanna said. She has been playing with the orchestra since last fall and hopes to move on to playing in the Symphony “PRACTICING THE ART, and eventually the Palomar College Symphony Orchestra.

NOT COMPETING, IS Finishing her sixth grade year WHAT I ENJOY MOST.” at High Tech Middle, Savanna enjoys her classes. She recently showcased her work in the Spring Exhibition, presenting a landscape design she created with her partner. “Our plans were for a real client and had to be water-wise, drawn to scale, and fit within our client’s budget,” she said. “It was a great learning experience that integrated conservation science and math.”

Looking ahead, Savanna sees her career aligning with her passions. “I may follow my love for colors and pursue a degree and career in Eco-Friendly Interior Design, working with restaurants and hotels,” she predicted. “Whatever I do, I want music to always be a part of my life.” 

How to Calm a Crying Baby

by HEATHER SILVERBERG, M.D.; Scripps Coastal Medical Center

One of the great challenges for parents is how to understand and calm a fussy baby. Before you join in and start crying yourself (because we’ve all been there!) take a moment and consider what you might know that may help.

Consider if your baby has unmet needs: Is she hungry? Is she tired? Is she overstimulated?

Is she uncomfortable in a wet or dirty diaper?

Is she feeling vulnerable, wanting to be held?

Mentally run through your shortlist of reasons: “Hungry-tired-overstimulated-dirty-pick me up.”

If your infant is very young, less than three months old, she may have a time of day where she often cries. Babies are neurologically immature and while some cry to communicate their needs, some cry even when all their needs are met – usually at similar times each day. In that case, crying might be normal and require no intervention at all! Look for dayto-day patterns. If it is her “witching hour,” just hang on for the ride.

In the event you can’t find anything “wrong,” the following strategies are often successful: Swaddling. Recreate the feeling for your baby of being safe and secure in utero by swaddling. Wrapping her up in a thin, soft blanket can be calming and soothing. Swaddle your baby snugly enough so

that the arms don’t escape, but make sure there is enough room for little legs to move.

Pacifiers or breast-feeding. Many babies are happiest when sucking on something, whether that is a pacifier or you. Babies have a natural sucking reflex, and sucking can help her settle.

No noise or white noise. It may seem counter-intuitive, but newborns are often soothed by the steady roar of white noise that blocks out other sounds. Be careful not to let the volume be too loud or it could be unsafe.

“Shushing” isn’t just for libraries! Total quiet and dim lights are okay, too.

Fresh air. Getting outside can also help soothe and distract your baby.

A change of scenery and some exercise could do you both some good!

Even it is just stepping out onto the porch or patio, or walking into the backyard, a breath of fresh air and a glimpse of blue sky can create calm.

Motion. Movement, especially a gentle swinging motion, can diminish crying.

Try wearing your baby in a carrier and walking around to create a calming rhythm. She senses and smells you, and enjoys the feeling of closeness.

Know when to worry – if your baby has a fever greater than 100.3, cries for more than two hours, looks weak, or is having trouble breathing or feeding, please contact your doctor’s office immediately.

I wish you a sleeping baby, a nap, and a shower! 

:::: FACES IN THE CROWD

Mom and Motivator Wendy Stull Is a Fabulous Face of San Marcos

by KELLY GUSICH | photos by Alicia Jeanne Photography

A

lthough she has moved many times in her life, San Marcos resident Wendy Stull always gravitates back toward San Diego. She chose the San Elijo community because she feels it is such a great place to raise children (Wendy has two sons, ages 12 and 18 months), and because of the schools and its teachers, “I like the way the area feels like a small town,” she remarked. Wendy spent seven years in the corporate world as the events and travel department director of Callaway Golf, where she got to travel the world and learn so much about corporate life, but eventually she went to her background in the dance industry to learn Pilates and Personal Group Training.

She named her studio In The Moment Pilates and Personal Training, with the training goals for her clients being just that – being conscious, aware, and in the present with all their senses. The aim is to let go of the past and put faith in the future. “Most of the time, taking that extra breath and being present,” Wendy shared, “has guided me to better decisions.”

One of her great and healthy decisions was to follow the idea of one of her clients, Amy Falco, throwing ‘Salad Parties.’ Because everyone wants to eat healthy but has a hard time finding prep time for food, a salad party involves each guest bringing two different items to add to the salad bar, and leaving with five huge salads loaded with all types of healthy toppings and at least 15 ziploc healthy snack bags for the week. “We have taken away any excuses for them not to eat healthy!” Wendy said.

Wendy feels like her most important life roles right now are as mom and motivator. For the ‘mom’ side she concentrates on being present in all aspects of her sons’ lives – which for the elder means being present in his life through homework, games, conversing in the car and at the dinner table. For the younger it means enjoying all Name: those toddler ‘firsts.’ The ‘motivator’ role means Profession: continuing at her studio and others, and keeping her fitness industry skills updated and fresh, Community: with an eventual goal of a larger studio space to Hobbies & Interests: cultivate bigger group fitness classes. “I strive to portray positivity and optimism,” Wendy smiled.

“I hope I can look back on my life and see that I Favorite Local Spots: have left a string of pay-it-forward moments.” 

RUN/WALK TO SUPPORT SAN ELIJO HILLS BOY SCOUT TROOP photos by Keeley McGovern

S

an Elijo Hills-based Boy Scout Troop 609 is proud to invite the community to the San Elijo 5k Run/Walk, to be held at San Elijo Hills Park on May 7. “The funds go towards helping the boys go to summer camps, high adventure trips, and other activities designed to teach leadership, self-reliance, honor, citizenship, and integrity,” shared Scoutmaster Tyler Garns.

Arrive between 7:30 and 8 a.m. to register and prepare before the race begins at 8 a.m. The awards ceremony will be held at 9 a.m., and there will also be kids’ games and food. After the race, Troop 609 is embarking on a Day of Service, with a number of service projects planned around the San Elijo Hills community.

Troop 609 consists of two patrols – one for 11-year-old boys, and one for 12 to 13-yearold boys – and a Varsity Team for ages 14 to 18. The younger boys go on a week-long camp trip every year, and the Varsity Scouts commit to a high adventure trip.

Previous high adventure trips have included a 50-mile hike around the entire Yosemite Valley, where they climbed Half Dome and other iconic mountains, and a rock climbing trip to Joshua Tree National Park.

“The community’s support in raising funds and encouraging the boys’ continual progression means a lot to them and their parents,” said Tyler. “Without the community’s support, they could not go on these amazing trips, and they would not be learning the valuable skills they are learning.”

Rock Collecting & Disney Devotion

T

he Bustarde family has lived in San Elijo Hills for the past two years. They love the small town atmosphere and all the parks, trails, and eateries around the town center. Both lawyers, Darwin and Melissa Bustarde met in a political science class at UC Riverside, and married after their first year of law school. The couple both practice at Mayfield Bustarde LLP, located in Solana Beach, in the areas of business/corporate, employment, and real property. Melissa is also on the board of directors for the Bar Association of North San Diego County. A funny story: one time, both Darwin and Melissa were arguing different cases, but their court appearances were at the same time in front of the same judge. When the judge asked if they were related, without missing a beat, they said, “Yes, we’re brother and sister!”

:::: IN OUR OWN BACKYARD

STARGAZING IN SAN DIEGO

These Breathtaking Views Will Have You Seeing Stars – Literally

by SHYANNE LOPEZ

B

eing surrounded by beaches, beautiful landscapes, and a sprawling city, it's no wonder we tend to keep our eyes focused on what is laid out right in front of us. While known for its sunny and clear skies, come sunset, parts of San Diego's skyline are anything but empty – you just have to look up.

For years, the area has attracted professional and amateur astronomers and stargazers alike for the highly accessible view of not just stars but also our own galaxy and nearby planets. In fact, this spring, Mars will be the largest and most clear that it's been in more than a decade. It's the perfect occasion to bring out your inner astronomer.

While it's tough to stargaze in highly developed areas, you can view them with ease at various rural locations in and around the county that have remained virtually untouched by city lights. So, if you're interested in catching a glimpse of the cosmos this spring, jump in your car and check out one – or all – of these unique destinations. 

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Two hours east of San Diego, you can find California's largest state park. The desert is a hot spot for professional and amateur stargazers due to its seclusion from urban lights. In fact, the park's neighboring town of Borrego Springs was designated in 2009 as the second "Dark Sky Community" in the world by the International Sky Association, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the nighttime environment.

Tierra Del Sol

Julian

Located in southeastern San Diego County is the Tierra Del Sol observing site. Established by the San Diego Astronomy Association (SDAA), the site is home to monthly star parties that are open to the public.

Star parties offer visitors the opportunity to observe the sky through professional telescopes, and receive guided viewings from experienced astronomers.

Learn more at www.sdaa.org.

Primarily known for its apple orchards, this quaint mountain town actually has night skies dark enough to host the SDAA's annual Julian StarFest each summer. This spring, you can admire and explore their starry skies by checking out nearby campgrounds or parks. If you don't feel like roughing it, the town also boasts its own astronomy-themed bed and breakfast.

Torrey Pines State Reserve While you won't see as many stars from Torrey Pines State Reserve, just north of La Jolla, it offers darker skies than expected and doesn't require a road trip. The beach offers the perfect location to look up at the cosmos, complete with the sound of crashing waves.

Torrey Pines stays open until 11 p.m., and since it won't be peak visiting hours, catching road-side parking should be a cinch.

:::: COMMUNITY STUFF No Place Like the Boys & Girls Club photo by Focus On U Photography

Guests are lining up for the 37th Annual Auction of the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos, to be held on April 23 to help pave the road of success for the club’s 3,009 young members. This year’s auction’s theme is An Adventure in Oz, and all attendees are encouraged to dress in their best Oz attire. While there won’t be lions, tigers, or bears – oh my! – the event will include dinner, drinks, and an array of exciting auction opportunities.

All funds raised will help the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos provide students with a variety of critical programs and services. The club’s programs focus on character and leadership development, the arts, education and career development, health and life skills, and fitness and recreation, allowing local children to grow up to be happy, involved members of the community. To learn more visit www.boysgirlsclubsm.org.

Local Bike Network

In November, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) began construction on the first phase of the Inland Rail Trail – a 21-mile bike path that will be physically separate from motor vehicle traffic. Since November, seven miles of bikeway were added from the intersection of West Mission Road and Pacific Street in San Marcos to the North Melrose Drive and West Bobier Drive intersection in Oceanside. Construction of the next portion of the path is likely to be accomplished in phases through 2018.

Once complete, the Inland Rail Trail will be an important part of the region’s interconnected bike network. It will run parallel to the Sprinter light rail from Escondido to Oceanside, providing access to five different stations. Popular with joggers, cyclists, and skateboarders, the bike trail complements city efforts to support transit-oriented communities where residents can live, work, and play. For more information visit www.keepsandiegomoving.com, or contact Project Manager Emilio Rodriguez at 619-699-1979 or emilio.rodriguez@sandag.org.

State of the City

San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond recently delivered the 2016 State of the City Address at Cal State San Marcos to a highly engaged audience of local business owners and entrepreneurs, elected officials, nonprofit leaders, and community members. Touching on the accomplishments of the community during 2015, Mayor Desmond’s speech also focused on his vision for the City’s future in the areas of public safety, parks and community services, community development, traffic and transportation, and other quality of life issues. Giving credit to San Marcos residents, schools, businesses, and nonprofits for their vital role in the community’s progress, he said, “San Marcos is a diverse and thriving community, built on partnerships and a strong foundation of high-quality education.” The address aired live on San Marcos TV, and is currently available on-demand on the City’s website at www.san-marcos.net.

Baker to Vegas

CSUSM Police Officer Matthew Curran teamed up with 19 fellow California State University Police Department members to race in the Baker to Vegas (B2V) competition. The CSU team took first place in their division. The race is a 120-mile law enforcement relay challenge that begins outside Baker, CA and ends in Las Vegas, NV. It’s an opportunity to promote collaboration and camaraderie within the department. Curran shared, “The majority of the runners are police officers, but other runners included parking personnel, community services officers, and administrative support staff.”

Curran – a CSUSM graduate who was on the track and field team – was assigned the eighth leg of the race. The steep, uphill 6.6-mile stretch was ranked as one of the most difficult, and the whole team had to work hard to combat the heat.

The CSU team finished the B2V course in 16 hours, 14 minutes, and 43 seconds, half an hour ahead of the second place team.

Curran concluded, “I was extremely honored to have qualified for this year’s team, and I am looking forward to many more races with these incredibly talented individuals.”

Fiesta, Fun, and Fundraising

The San Marcos High School (SMHS) PTO will be holding their annual fundraiser on Saturday, April 16 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Hacienda de Vega in Carlsbad. With a more casual tone this year, the event will include a cocktail hour, silent and live auctions, and for those with a sweet tooth, a dessert rush after dinner. Tickets are $50 per person, or $40 for SMHS teachers and staff, and guests will be given the opportunity to designate 10 percent of their ticket cost to a SMHS Booster Club of their choice. Tickets are available at the SMHS Front Office or from select SMHS PTO parents. For more information visit www.smhspto.com.

SMCF Accepting Grant Applications

The San Marcos Community Foundation (SMCF) are currently accepting applications for their annual Arts and Cultural Grant Program, which is designed to support various organizations that benefit the San Marcos community.

Eligible local organizations may apply for the grant – which will derive from the program’s fund of $3,500 – in order to receive financial help in hosting artistic and cultural events or activities for the community. Applications will be accepted through Wednesday, April 6 at 5:30 p.m.

SMCF’s overall goal is to support organizations that serve San Marcos residents and specialize in programs for children and youth, seniors, arts and culture, education, health and well-being, and military families. For more information on the San Marcos Community Foundation and its grant programs visit www.sanmarcoscommunityfoundation.org or call Michael Gordon at 760-744-1050, ext. 3116.

Water Conservation Target

Thanks to the Vallecitos Water District’s direct connection to the Claude “Bud” Lewis Desalination Plant, the State Water Resources Control Board recently adjusted the district’s water conservation target from a 24 percent reduction in potable water use to 16 percent, compared to 2013 usage. The district now receives over 4,000 acre feet of desalinated water every year, making up 27 percent of the district’s annual supply – enough to serve 8,100 families over the course of the year. The use of water from the desalination plant minimizes the district’s reliance on imported water.

Vallecitos Water District serves 97,000 people in San Marcos, Lake San Marcos, and portions of Carlsbad, Escondido, and Vista, in addition to surrounding areas. Board meetings are open to the public and televised on San Marcos TV.

Engaging the Community

The City of San Marcos launched their exciting new communication effort titled ENGAGE San Marcos in February. As part of the City’s continued effort to increase interaction with residents, the launch included a newly designed website and the addition of an Instagram account to the City’s social media lineup.

With an improved design and a more user-friendly navigation, the new website is easier than ever to navigate and includes features such as an interactive map directory of parks and facilities, online facility reservations, and streamlined department pages with easyto-find contact information. Existing popular services like online class registration and job applications are still available as well.

The addition of an Instagram account will complement the City’s already active social engagements on both Facebook and Twitter. To get residents engaged on this platform, the City is asking residents to post their pictures of San Marcos using #discoversanmarcos. In addition, our readers can get involved in 92078 Magazine by tagging photos with #92078magazine to be included in our Out & About photo section. For more information about the ENGAGE San Marcos campaign contact Communications Officer Sarah Macodonald at 760-744-1050, ext. 3174.

Day of Service

Local students and community members teamed up to celebrate César Chávez Day with the annual César Chávez Day of Service. Off-site projects included organizing the Brother Benno’s thrift store; painting the exterior of the Joe Balderrama Recreation Center in Oceanside; painting and cleaning at the Community Resource Center and Food Distribution Center; weeding, cultivating, and picking strawberries at Dragon Organics; and working in the gardens at North County Community Services. Activities at the San Marcos campus included projects at the ethnobotany garden and the sustainable food project garden. Students at the Temecula campus also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity’s Brush with Kindness Program, performing low-cost home repairs for low-income and disabled homeowners.

After the morning of service, participants returned to campus for a lunch and program. The keynote speaker was Leticia Maldonado-Stamos.

A longtime teacher and community advocate, she has served on the board of the César Chávez Foundation for 18 years.

San Marcos Lifeguard Opportunities

With spring in full swing, San Marcos Aquatics has begun its search for seasonal lifeguards to watch over city pools and aquatic facilities during the summer months. “San Marcos life guarding offers a chance to become part of an exciting team that helps people safely enjoy the water and have some summertime fun,” said Aquatics Manager Cheryl Salazar. “With so many great summer camps, swim lessons, and special events planned, it is important to make sure we have qualified and trained staff on deck now.”

Becoming a San Marcos Lifeguard means becoming a community leader while making a difference and protecting lives. The position can also lead to unique career development opportunities down the road, including a mentorship with the San Marcos Fire Department. For applications or more details on how to become a San Marcos Lifeguard visit www.san-marcos.net/smlifeguards, email aquatics@san-marcos.net, or call 760-744-3530.

THERAPEUTIC LITERACY CENTER

W

hile summer vacation offers ample time for students to run, play, and exercise their bodies, it also offers the perfect opportunity to exercise their minds. During the busy school year, students may not get the one-on-one time with a teacher or tutor nor the therapy to develop their underlying weaknesses in learning skills. This is where the Therapeutic Literacy Center (TLC) comes in.

While the center, located in Solana Beach, offers specialized training to students year-round, they utilize the extra time that summer affords by offering specialized camp programs to prepare children for success when school starts in the fall. Their summer programming includes an intensive therapy to overcome challenges and learning disabilities by focusing on underlying learning skills, as well as a learning “bootcamp” for children that are strong in their underlying skills but need work in the areas of math, handwriting, or keyboarding. All of TLC’s programs can help a student be successful in the Common Core curriculum.

TLC’s summer programs include both group learning experiences and individualized one-on-one sessions, provided by specially trained clinicians. If a full-day program is chosen, the day may even include outings to a surf camp in Solana Beach or an activity at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. “A cognitive bootcamp mixed with hours of outdoor exercise is the perfect summer combination for children wanting to enter their next grade level with confidence in their success,” said Maria Bagby, TLC Executive Director.

Because spaces fill up quickly, early registration is encouraged. To learn more about TLC and how they can help eliminate learning challenges in reading, writing, and math visit www.therapeuticliteracycenter.com or call 858-481-2200. 

ith the growing popularity of STEAM programs in schools, many parents are turning to technology camps to keep their students entertained and engaged during summer months. CodeREV Kids is one of Southern California’s fastest growing tech camps, and according to Founder Evan Boorman, offers the only standards-aligned summer tech program that focuses on math and science. Evan explained, “I started CodeREV to answer the question so many students have: ‘Why? Why should I learn math, science, or engineering?’ In our project-based classes and curriculum, students automatically answer these questions for themselves, since they need to learn these topic areas to create the fun and amazing projects they build and code in camp.”

CodeREV offers a variety of classes for kids ages 6 to 14 to appeal to all technology-based interests. Its MathCraft program uses the popular video game Minecraft to teach math, and its Adventures in Programming class covers 3D game design. Its most popular option, Minecraft Level Design & Engineering, applies STEAM concepts to building amazing contraptions inside Minecraft.

With a total of ten different classes to choose from, there is something for everyone at CodeREV. Evan has been teaching STEAM for 14 years, has created education software, and has started education technology companies. Evan’s partner, Chief Education Innovation Officer John Stuppy, Ph.D., holds a Master’s degree in Education Technology from Stanford, a Ph.D. in Education Reform from UCLA, and has been teaching and creating curriculum for coding aligned with math for three decades. Evan and John Stuppy believe that their combined 50 years of experience, coupled with the most innovative teaching approaches in technology, are critical to bringing coding into mainstream education, and to get students excited about using math and science.

:::: REAL ESTATE WATCH

Be Smart with a WaterSmart Landscape A

s we “spring forward,” it’s time to start thinking about getting our lawns ready for the summer – and discovering ways to make our lawns more watersaving in light of the still-ongoing California drought.

With the passage of AB 349, signed

by Governor Brown in September 2015, California community associations can no longer prevent homeowners from installing artificial turf or any other drought tolerant landscape. In addition, even once the drought ends, community associations cannot require homeowners to remove or reverse the

water-saving measures that were installed during the drought. Community associations do, however, still have the ability to guide the selection, installation, and maintenance of artificial turf consistent with individual community rules and architectural standards.

Learning how to create and enhance your WaterSmart lawn will allow you to not only enjoy your lawn, but will enable you to save precious natural resources – and lower your water bill in the process. The San Diego County Water Authority (www.sdcwa.org), the Vallecitos Water District (www.vwd.org) and Home Depot have partnered together to offer several Spring 2016 Plant Fairs at various locations throughout San Diego County. Go to WaterSmart San Diego County (www.WaterSmartSD.org) for more information on programs and incentives, as well as helpful tips.

Don’t miss out! On Saturday, April 16 from 8 a.m. until noon, Vallecitos Water District will partner with the San Diego

County Water Authority and Home Depot to offer a free Garden Friendly Plant Fair at the Home Depot located at 550 San Marcos Blvd. to provide helpful water-wise planting information and discounts on water-efficient plants. Be smart – and if we all do our part, everyone wins! 
