San Elijo Hills Odyssey When we at The Fountain receive submissions for this section, we are always amazed at the resourcefulness, intelligence and determination that the children of San Elijo seem to display on a regular basis. On March 3, some of our elementary school children participated in the Odyssey of the Mind Competition in Palm Springs.

Our mission for The Fountain is to connect San Elijo Hills residents to each other and to key resources with the goal of building community in San Elijo Hills and the greater San Marcos area. We moved to San Elijo Hills in 2001 as part of the first four families to move into the Cedar Crossing development. The Fountain is a great example of what can happen when neighbors build strong relationships and get busy putting their ideas and skills together for the good of the community.
well- b ei ng
We hope you find this community publication reflective of our excitement to be in San Elijo Hills and our desire to build something that brings us all closer together. We invite you to join in the fun and get involved.

K ar ishm a Sin nott
The Many Joys of Spring A little Madness in the Spring is Wholesome even for a King. – Emily Dickinson
It’s almost time. It’s coming close. Spring Break is around the corner. By the time you read this, we will only be a breath away from nine glorious days of vacation. Nine days of not waking up at the crack of dawn to make breakfasts and lunches. Nine days of not running according to someone’s schedule. Nine days of being able to, hypothetically, stay in our pajamas all day if we choose to. I cannot wait for Spring Break. I can’t wait to have my children home with me, to wake up and eat a leisurely breakfast with them, take them to LEGOLAND or the Zoo or Sea World. Maybe we will walk in the trails or go pick up donuts in Cardiff and eat them on the beach at 8am. I’m sure we have play dates and sleepovers in our future; the girls love spending time with their friends when we aren’t having to stop play time short because we have homework. Friends, family time, lazy mornings and movie nights are in the near future. It’s so close I can smell the buttered popcorn and almost feel my fuzzy slippers on my feet.
Well, wait a minute. What about work? I still have to work during the first part of the week that the kids are home. Do you? For those of us who are blessed to be able to make our own hours, we will be ok. For those working parents who have to go to the office, Spring Break is often a time for worry and stress. Summer is even more difficult because there are that many more days to entertain and occupy the children. This is why, over the next two months, The Fountain is putting together a list of resources for our readers. Maybe it’s not too late to book a spring camp, and it’s definitely not too late to book a summer camp. There are so many choices available to us for our children, we are lucky to live where we can take advantage of all these opportunities. If you are able to stay home during this time, do you find yourself surprised by your children during vacation? I am. For the first few weeks of summer vacation, they seem perfectly content to just stay home, lounging and lazing and eating and reading and watching TV. It’s that “home sweet home” mentality that I never seem to expect from them, and yet always seem to get. Our children don’t really need a lot, do they? I sometimes wake up and ask them what they would like to do, and many a time they just want to take a walk, ride their bikes in the
CLUBS & EVENTS
school parking lot, picnic outside on the front lawn, and play board games and XBox games. And of course, play with their friends. Last year I practically had to drag them to camp at The Apple Store. It was a fantastic one, and they learned how to make their own movie, edit it and set it to music. If someone offered that to me, I would have jumped at the opportunity! My kids went reluctantly, but ended up loving every minute of it. There is, of course, lots to do in San Diego during Spring Break. If you don’t have any ideas, or are in need of inspiration, keep reading! Hopefully we will give you some new and exciting prospects. Our libraries are a wonderful resource – they don’t just have books – they have Dad’s Nights, Puppet Shows, Craft Days and so much more! Maybe you have a house project that you just can’t get to because you’re volunteering at the schools, or running between drop-offs and pick-ups. Stephanie Garrison has wonderful ideas for you to update your kitchen, and spruce up the house!
How many times have you wanted to go to the Farmers’ Market at CSUSM and you just couldn’t make it because one of the kids had soccer practice? Well, now maybe you’ll have time to stop at one of the many Farmers’ Markets in North County. We have highlighted one of them this month, in the hope that it will inspire you to buy from our local farmers.
So, we hope we’ve given you some ideas on how to spend your break. Most of all, don’t you just feel like you want to take advantage of every minute away from schedules and routines? Embrace your children and not feel like you’re nagging them to do homework or practice music or finish up that project or eat quickly, dress quickly, move quickly, go quickly, quickly, quickly from one thing to the other! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said to the children, “During the next break, we will go see the Titanic Exhibit.” Or, “When Spring Break comes, we will go rock climbing in San Marcos.” Or, “The next time we have a long weekend, let’s go walk around Balboa Park and take a picnic.” Time is a precious commodity in our lives, and I for one, am counting days to Spring Break, where time will go at the pace that I set for our family – a slow, lazy, peaceful one, so that we can catch our breath, calm ourselves, and stop to enjoy each other’s company, that of our neighbors, families and friends.

San Elijo Hills Visitor Center and RELM Come to MarketWalk
Thank you Curt Noland...
This spring MarketWalk is welcoming two new tenants. The San Elijo Hills Visitor Center moved into a new office last month at 1231 Elfin Forest Road West, Suite 111. Later this month, Relm, a wine and beer bistro, is scheduled to open at the corner of San Elijo Road and Elfin Forest Road West. The new bistro, operated by Rene Fleming, is an acronym for Relax, Enjoy, Laugh More.
By Tim Minjares, Publisher, The Fountain
In addition to a changing list of 15 wines by the glass and many more by the bottle, Relm will offer local microbrews, draft beer, and an extensive menu of nibbles, salads, cheese and deli boards, pasta, paninis and sweets.
The San Elijo Hills Visitor Center has moved across the Town Square into MarketWalk, at 1231 Elfin Forest Road West, Suite 111, San Marcos. The Visitor Center is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
Construction Begins on Bella Vista Construction has begun on a new neighborhood by Ryland Homes called Bella Vista, which will feature single-family detached homes with five to six bedrooms and 3,461 to 3,776 square feet. Models are expected to open in mid May. The neighborhood will be located at the terminus of Wild Canyon Drive.
Pacific Preschool Breaks Ground Here In San Elijo
Photos by Ed Philbrick
On March 8, at 10am, the community of San Elijo came together for the groundbreaking of Pacific Preschool and Kindergarten, which is due to open its doors this Fall.
Lynda and Lowell Way are owners and operators of two other locations of Pacific Preschool in Orange County. The preschool here in San Elijo will feature eight individual classrooms, a large multipurpose room, kitchen and other facilities, and will serve children from 18 months to kindergarten.
News from the San Elijo Hills Foundation
By: Lauren Lanni, Vice President
Thank you to everyone who ‘liked’ our Facebook page in the last month and a half since the San Elijo Hills Foundation Facebook Contest began. The contest ended on March 15 and we are happy to congratulate the winners who were announced on March 16. If you have not ‘liked’ us yet and would like to be among the first to know about all the happenings in San Elijo Hills, you can go to www.Facebook.com/ SanElijoHillsFoundation. We have a lot of exciting projects in the works for San Elijo - and they will all be announced there first!

The philosophy of Pacific Preschool is to cater to “the whole child”; the complete needs of the children, physically, emotionally and educationally. They will offer play-based education, and an exciting and interesting environment to make sure that the children grow up to be happy, competent and confident as they make their way through their years at school.
The groundbreaking was attended by members of Pacific Preschool, Councilwomen Rebecca Jones and Krystal Jabara, Vice-Mayor Hal Martin, members of HomeFed Corporation, architects, designers, builders, community business owners and residents. It is clear that the best preschool was picked for the children of San Elijo – the Preschool and its administration and staff have been thoroughly screened and the teachers will go through a rigorous screening and application process, as well as a high level of training. When our children set foot on their preschool campus this fall, they will know they are getting the best education that is available, all right here at home. For more information, visit www.pacificpreschool.com
By this time, most of you know that Curt Noland passed away on January 17 at his Carlsbad home after a six-week battle with esophageal cancer. He was 55.
Curt Noland oversaw the development of San Elijo Hills. Curt was born July 18, 1956, in Pasadena, the youngest of four children of Al and Diane Noland. He grew up in nearby La Crescenta. As a child, Curt would go in his front yard and build imaginary towns - complete with houses made out of sticks, roads, buildings, meeting houses and streams. With Curt as Vice President and Senior Development officer of Homefed Corp., San Elijo Hills would go on to be named master-planned community of the year in 2003 and earn a Gold Nugget Grand Award for community/town planning. He strived to create a distinctive community that we could be proud to call home. I think we can say he succeeded. Beyond the community awards and accolades, I can’t help but think how proud Curt must have felt watching the residents of San Elijo embrace his vision. For me, this is where I decided to purchase my home and start my family. That was over 10 years ago. Two years after that, I was so inspired by this community Curt designed that I started The Fountain to help celebrate it every month.
How much of your life, business, family and friends are now a part of San Elijo Hills? All that didn’t happen by mistake. It was designed to happen. The vision Curt had for this community extends beyond the roof tops and rolling hills. It is a vision that plays a part in our daily lives as we meet with friends, see our kids off to school, walk the dog or gather for a community event. We are all a part of Curt’s vision but ultimately it’s the residents that build community. Each of us has a part in keeping up this incredible place we call home. Thank you, Curt, for San Elijo Hills and so much more.

Odyssey of The Mind When we at The Fountain receive submissions for this section, we are always amazed at the resourcefulness, intelligence and determination that the children of San Elijo seem to display on a regular basis. On March 3, some of our elementary school children participated in the Odyssey of the Mind Competition in Palm Springs. Three groups of children wrote skits, built sets and structures, performed beautifully under pressure and rose to every challenge that came their way. To all of them we say, Congratulations on a job well done!
Irish Mathematicians – placed 3rd in their division and brought home a medal. Kudos to Jake Cover, Rohun Athalye, Grant Tilley, Milaya Sinnott, Mason Manimtim, Oliver Mumma and Saagar Dhanjani. Easy as Pi – placed 6th in their division. Congrats to Aidan Katson, Vance Winstead, Jill Shapiro, Logan Blut, Cole Kenny. Oooh Motional Vehicle, Team 1 – placed 7th in their division. We are so proud of Chase Hickey, Jackie Marotta, Quinton Schluederberg, Tyler Billing, Max Sterlitz, Nate Whiting, Arthur Couturier.

Weird Science, Easy as Pi By: Aidan Katson
By: Grant Tilley
I am a fifth grader in Mrs. McCarthy’s class at San Elijo Elementary School named Aidan Katson. This year I participated in Problem 2, Weird Science for Odyssey of the Mind. My team had to create a skit based on a real-life picture of a strange occurrence on Earth. We chose a phytoplankton group off the coast of Namibia. We had to create a different reason for the phenomenon. In our skit, a jellyfish (played by me) eats Poseidon’s superpowered mood ring and causes the glow. After practicing a lot, we all traveled to Palm Springs for the regional competition. First we went to our spontaneous problem. We had no idea what it would be! After we got out we all put our “Sworn to Secrecy” stickers over the bridges of our noses. During the day we shared ideas and told jokes. We assembled our set with sliding shower curtains and painted bed sheets. We also supported the other teams by watching their presentations. I felt good for them and thought, “They did great!” Then came the time to do our presentation. I felt that the rest of the team and I did an outstanding job. At 6:45pm, the results started. My team placed 6th out of 14 teams. Even though we didn’t advance, we still got into the top 50 percent. I was happy that we received a high ranking. I think that Odyssey of the Mind is very fun. I wish that I could do Odyssey next year, too. Maybe I could be part of a middle school team!
My experience at Palm Springs was great. I have competed in lots of tournaments, but none were like Odyssey of the Mind. It was a lot to prepare for, but it paid off at the end. It was a great experience and I greatly enjoyed being there with friends. I had a ton of fun performing and was so excited to find my team had placed third. It amazed me to see all the creative and smart children around me. The whole experience was amazing and I hope I can do it again next year.
By: Logan Blut
Odyssey of the Mind was an awesome experience. It gave me the chance to be creative. It was fun to just throw out random ideas. The final rehearsal before Palm Springs was so overpowering. It took a while to get our skit mastered, but my team did it. During the real thing it felt good to be in front of the audience. It was also fun with all of the humor. Spontaneous, I thought, was the funniest. When we practiced verbal problems all of my team’s responses were funny. That’s why I love the GATE program. I had fun in Palm Springs for the Odyssey of the Mind Competition. My team and I all worked really hard trying to make the submarine go in the water and move. We also had the experience of being on stage and presenting to a crowd. My favorite part of the performance was when the commissioner (Logan) did squats during the skit. Big thanks to Michelle Winstead and Cherie Vinopal (our coaches)!
Months of meeting to practice creative spontaneous responses, to build a cardboard tree that can do math, writing and practicing a skit as a team, and building numerous balsa wood structures, all came together on Saturday, March 3. My team, the Irish Mathematicians, had the chance to demonstrate all our hard work at the 2012 Odyssey of the Mind Competition in Palm Springs. There were two of us responsible for loading our structure and we wowed the crowded with 160 pounds on the structure! We were fired up and proud that we did so well that we could hardly wait for the award ceremony. We were excited to come home with a third place metal. What an awesome experience!! By: Rohun Athalye
On Saturday, March 3, at Palm Springs High School, we had our Odyssey of the Mind competition. There are two parts to the Competition: spontaneous and your long-term problem. In spontaneous, you are given a problem and you must solve it off the top of your head. Problems may vary from verbal, hands on, or verbal hands on. This year, our long-term problem was to build a structure out of just glue and one-eighth by one-eighth inch strips of balsa wood and test how much weight it would be able to hold. The structure had to be fifteen grams or less and at least eight inches tall. We also had to present a skit. This year, our Odyssey of the Mind team did very well and our structure held 160 pounds and we won third place. Odyssey of the Mind is an extremely fun program that challenges you to be a creative thinker.

kids of san elijo Ooh-Motional Vehicle, Team 1 By: Arthur Couturier
In Odyssey of the Mind, I performed in an “Ooh Motional vehicle� problem. The goal was to make a vehicle that moved and showed expressions in a humorous, exciting act. I was nervous at first, but I overcame my fear a couple hours before the performance. During the first part of the competition called “Spontaneous Thinking�, I helped making any finishing touches to the vehicle. This was when I powered up myself. At the performance, I tried to be funny when people forgot their lines. Finally, we saw that we had received 7th place out of 14, just at the 50 percent mark. I was happy at the end. I would certainly like to do it again next year. It was really fun. By: Chase Hickey
Odyssey of the Mind was so much fun! I got to work with my teammates/friends to create a vehicle that showed four emotions and create a skit showing those expressions. We chose happiness, love, fear, and sadness. We began working on the project, OohMotional Vehicle, last fall and met once a week for an hour after school. We
had the competition last month in Palm Springs. One of my favorite things about Odyssey of the Mind was hanging out with my GATE friends and building something. It was fun to see friends from other schools there, too. I can’t wait to perform at school and then start on next year’s project. I hope we win! By: Quinton Schluederberg
Our Odyssey of the Mind Team – Ooh-Motional – was given the challenge to design, build and operate a vehicle that travels a course and changes different human emotions (happy, love, fear and sadness). We had to use two sources of energy for propulsion while one member had to ride in the vehicle at all times. We also came up with a pirate theme for our presentation. Although we had two coaches, they weren’t able to help us but only guide us through the project. After months and months with seven members, all strong-minded, somehow we were able to build our vehicle. After arriving in Palm Springs the adrenaline began pumping, you could feel the creativity in the air everywhere you turned with the crazy backdrops, costumes and vehicles emerging and finally you got the taste of wanting to win. We preformed to the best of our ability and had a blast setting our goal and completing it. Although we didn’t place in the top three, we have a new chapter in our books. We all had a good time and can’t wait to do it again.

in your backyard Work Begins in Creek District Chris Orlando: City Council Initial work has begun in the City’s long awaited Creek District Specific Plan Area. In February the City completed a five-year long effort to obtain the permits necessary to move forward with the highly anticipated development. Work is now beginning to initiate the construction of the infrastructure needed to make the Creek District a reality. The San Marcos Creek District is a comprehensive 214-acre specific plan that covers the area between San Marcos Boulevard and San Marcos Creek. The District will include mixed-use development, a 73-acre habitat preserve, environmental enhancements and infrastructure improvements like roadway, bridges and flood control. Its total valuation at build out, which will likely take 15 – 20 years, is estimated at $1.25 to $1.5 billion. The San Marcos Creek District plan was adopted in 2007 following extensive analysis of environmental conditions and input from city decisionmakers, landowners, neighbors and the community-at-large. The plan provides a comprehensive vision for “Downtown San Marcos� along with goals, policies and development standards to guide future public and private actions relating to the area’s development and conservation of open space and natural resources. In February, the City received the permits necessary to move the project forward. These environmental permits included approvals from The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit); California Department of Fish and Game (Fish and Game Code Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement); and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification). The initial work, which has already started, will include clearing vegeta-
tion to prepare portions of the site for upcoming Phase 1 public infrastructure improvements between Bent Avenue and Via Vera Cruz. If you drive along Discovery Street today you can see the progress of this preliminary work. Construction of the Phase 1 infrastructure improvements should get under way by late summer or early fall. The project will include the first portion of habitat restoration/expansion, installation of a floodwall and linear park along Discovery Street, widening of Discovery Street, construction of Creekside Drive, and construction of the Creekside Promenade. Once built, the Creekside Promenade will provide residents pedestrian access to the area near the Creek, allowing for the first time a scenic view of one of our City’s natural assets. The City previously set aside funding for the Phase 1 improvements, which will enable the work to move forward despite the elimination of Redevelopment by the State. Funding sources for the $50 million in backbone public infrastructure improvements includes pre-designated redevelopment bond dollars, grant funding, drainage impact fees and TransNet funding. While the City will pay for and build the infrastructure, the private sector will develop the mixed-use commercial and residential portions of the District. The first private development, The Residences and Shoppes at Creekside, is slated to begin construction in late fall and will include approximately 100 affordable apartments, 26,500 square feet of commercial space, a community garden, meeting space and small public park. It is located at the corner of Grand Avenue and the new Creekside Drive, south of San Marcos Boulevard adjacent to the entrance to Lowe’s. The Creek District is an important component of the future of San Marcos. The commencement of work in the area is a major milestone for the City.

Understanding SpringTime Eye Allergies by. Dr. Mika Fu
It’s getting to be that time of year again - when most allergy sufferers find their seasonal allergies kicking into full swing. The reason why springtime allergies hit us so hard in San Diego is the timing of plant reproduction cycles – it’s when the most pollen is in the air. Wind pollinated trees (such as oak and pine) tend to release their pollens between February and May and wind pollinated grasses release their pollens between March and October. At the end of May, ragweed and other weed plants are active, producing copious amounts of pollen – keeping allergy sufferers in agony until the end of autumn. Because wind-pollinated species of plants produce the highest volume of pollen, April and May tend to be peak allergy months.
Eye allergies, also known as “allergic conjunctivitis,� tend to be chronic, and flare up during periods of heavy pollen, dust, and other allergen exposure. Common allergic conjunctivitis symptoms are: itchiness, watery eyes/tearing, redness, swelling of the eye tissues and eye area, and eye irritation. These symptoms can cause significant discomfort, blur vision, and cause problems with contact lens wear.

meet your neighbor Meet the Allen Family – Al, Tiffany, Lexi, Reese The Allen family is one of San Elijo’s newest members; they moved here in January, and we are so glad to welcome them to our neighborhood. Moves and relocations often happen because of work, and it’s no different in this case. Al’s company relocated him, and the Allen family moved from San Clemente to San Elijo Hills so that he could work locally to manage his sales team.
into a voracious reader, as well. Of course, Reese is not outdone by her sporty sister – she is a “crazy, aggressive soccer player”, and enjoys her weekend games tremendously. Every star player needs their cheering squad, and Reese and Lexi have that in both parents, but especially in their mom. Tiffany is a huge part of the girls’ lives in terms of sports – she is their biggest cheerleader, and people can often hear her across the field, encouraging her girls to give it their best shot.
Tiffany will tell you that the move to San Elijo happened as a bit of an accident. Al’s office is close to 4S Ranch, and originally, they looked at homes in the Rancho Bernardo/Penasquitos area. On the drive back home to San Clemente, they came up the 78 freeway to Twin Oaks Road, and into San Elijo Hills. Tiffany says that she knew at once that this was going to be their new home. It felt like the master-planned community that she was so familiar with where she grew up in Texas, and for Al, it was close to the home he knew as a boy, having grown up in Escondido. Tiffany and Al, along with their two girls, Lexi and Reese, moved into the neighborhood in January, and they find themselves settling in happily to the new neighborhood and school. Lexi is their nine-year-old fourth grader, and is proud to say that she has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and earned it when she was in third grade! Her mother says that Lexi is always out to get a laugh, and is much like her jokester father. Lexi, like her dad, is also very involved in sports. She plays soccer and softball and loves to surf. One of Lexi’s concerns about moving to San Elijo from San Clemente was that she was further away from the ocean. However, her parents make sure that she visits the ocean every chance they get. When Lexi isn’t participating in multiple sports, she can be found reading her favorite book series – Geronimo Stilton – and listening to music on her iTouch. Music and dance are Reese’s favorites, as well. Reese can often be found playing “mommy”. At seven years of age, this second grader is a nurturing, kind, sweet girl who loves animals, especially the family dog, Padre. Her favorite books include the Puppy Palace series, and Reese is quickly turning
Tiffany manages the ongoing fun-filled chaos of the Allen home. She is the coordinator of all schedules, keeping house and hearth stocked and clean for her family. She also has the privilege to work from home, selling automation software for a small technology company out of Long Beach. While work rarely takes her out of the house, this year a work conference takes her to her hometown in Texas and Tiffany is thrilled to visit family and friends. The girls will take a few weeks off this spring to travel with their mom to Texas. When there is a spot of quiet in her life, Tiffany loves to read, play Sudoku, cook, and open the home to family and friends for intimate gatherings. Al is completely outnumbered by the girls in his house, but that’s not a bad thing for Al. His wife says that he is the life of a party and can always make a room laugh. He is active in sports as well and likes to watch football and baseball whenever possible. Most evenings and weekends you can find him coaching the girls in either soccer or softball, but he still finds time to keep in touch with friends from high school, college and their old neighborhood in San Clemente. Tiffany says that Al is the best friend any one could have – he manages to stay connected with people from his past. The Allen family can often be found competing and watching Wheel of Fortune on weeknights. If the girls have their way, they will convince their parents to let them watch The Voice as a family, as well. No doubt there will be some dancing and singing going on in the Allen’s family room. Over the year, they hope to spend their time here building a network of support and friendship, and being part of the community spirit that we see daily here in San Elijo Hills.

school news Spring Break
By Skylar Starrs Siben
Spring Break is fast approaching and although it’s great to be out of school for a whole week, if you are staying home, that time can go from fun to boring in a snap. Here are three ideas to keep your family busy over the break. Whether you try one or all of them, these day activities will keep your “staycation� exciting. Go to the Beach: Winter is over and the water is warming up, so head down to the beach for some fun in the sun. Going to the beach is great because it is absolutely free. This is much better than the price you pay to go on vacation. The whole family can have a fun time at the beach swimming, boogie boarding and surfing in the water, or laying out on the sand. So pick a nice and sunny day to take your family to the beach.
See a Movie: On a day when the weather isn’t so nice (or whatever day ends up working for you) you can go see a movie. There are a lot of good movies out in April but the ones I recommend are A Thousand Words, which stars Eddie Murphy playing a man who uses his words (lies) to get what he wants, until a magical tree grows in his backyard. He soon finds out there are 1000 leaves on the tree and with every word he says, one leaf falls off. This is a fun movie for middle school aged kids and it comes out on April 9. Another good movie for middle school kids is The Hunger Games, and it opened on March 23. Go to the mountains: Chill out in the snow for a day at Big Bear, Mammoth, Tahoe or any of the wonderful snow sites in California. You and your family can go skiing, snowboarding, sledding or just play in the snow. Whatever you decide to do, have fun and enjoy your Spring Break!

High School Updates
school news
By: Megan van Hamersveld All of us here at San Marcos High School are still just working along, day in and day out, pressing forward toward the end of the year. Stress levels are high, as the dreaded AP Tests and finals are right around the corner. It’ll be a buffet of tests; on the menu are STAR tests, SATs, ACTs, SAT Subject Tests, the CAHSEE, the EAP, etc. etc. etc. Luckily, our teachers are preparing us completely and totally so we won’t have anything to worry about and we’ll sail straight into summer. But it’s not all work, work, work! Spring sports are in full swing and all of the athletes here are having the time of their lives. They always appreciate support at their events, so definitely go out and attend a baseball game, a track meet, a softball game, a swim meet, a tennis match, and/or a lacrosse game. Lacrosse games, in particular, always offer loads of excitement including a chant when a goal is scored and a crazy-delicious snack bar. Airbands was held on March 30, which is an incredible ASB event that is held annually. Basically, groups of students perform impressive and hilarious lip-sync dances to be judged in front of a panel. The teachers and staff also ritually have their own “surprise� performance that they never live down.
Honestly, with all the hype of the new campus over with, life here at San Marcos High School is pretty systematic. Wake up, walk a million miles to school, go to class, go back to sleep, go to the rest of your classes, learn some stuff, dodge seagull poop, walk a million miles back to the parking lot, go home. The biggest controversy lately has probably just been about all the kids carrying longboards around. For real, everything is just running very smoothly, I suppose. For the time being, we are just stuck in that awkward stretch between winter break and spring break, where everyone (for the most part) is working their little booties off non-stop. Not such a good time to have a bad case of senioritis! The end of the school year is coming in fast; seniors are preparing to move on from the world of free public education and eighth graders are probably jumping for joy to finally become a Knight. If you ever want a visual or two about what’s really going on here at San Marcos High School, be sure to check out the TV News class’ Youtube channel. Just search “Knightsnews� for the latest videos and updates, presented in an informative and often hilarious way. Seriously, it might just make your day. Go Knights!

Mexican Pizza
This is one of our favorite backup dinners. We always have the ingredients for this meal on hand, so that when everything falls apart (which it will), you can whip up this meal in no time and not feel guilty. Our kids actually ask for this one on a regular basis. This recipe serves four. Stuff you’ll need: Ezekiel whole grain tortilla 1 can organic pinto beans (drained and rinsed) 3 Tbsp salsa toppings (optional): salsa 1 avocado (diced) 1/2 red onion (chopped) cilantro  (chopped) 1 tomato (chopped) mixed greens or lettuce (chopped) cheese (shredded)
4) spread a thin layer of beans onto the 4 tortillas 5) sprinkle with small amount of cheese (optional) 6) bake directly on oven rack  for about 10-15 min (or until tortillas are hard and crunchy) 7) add optional toppings and serve Watching your weight? Skip the cheese. You won’t miss it as long as you top it with all the good produce. You can also use pepper jack almond cheese or soy cheese to avoid dairy. We prefer almond cheese over soy (taste-wise). In small amounts, cheese alternatives don’t taste too bad. Where’s the beef? Skip the meat on this one. It really is not needed. You are getting plenty of protein with the beans and if you are using the Ezekiel tortillas, you are getting all the essential aminos. Preparation tips
What to do: 1) preheat oven to 350F 2) mash beans in bowl until about 75% of beans are mashed 3) mix 2-3 Tbsp of salsa into the beans
This recipe makes exactly four servings. One should be plenty per person. (We use to make a couple extra so everyone would get one and a half, but with the right toppings, you should be completely satisfied with one.) You can keep the tortillas in your freezer (just pull them out when you start preparing and by the time you are ready, they should be thawed). You should also always have the beans and salsa and most of the other items on hand at all times. This is a great backup meal.

A: This would be easy if it was just two light bulbs and two switches, right? With two light bulbs, you would just have one switch on and the other off so you would then know which switch turns on which bulb. The problem is the third bulb and here you have to think out of the box. Turn the third switch on for some time and then turn it off. When you are in the room, one light bulb is lit and other two are off. Feel the other two, the bulb that is controlled by the third switch should feel hot/warm! 3.

Quick Ways to Customize and Update Your Kitchen Whether you’ve lived in San Elijo Hills since your neighborhood’s inception, or are just moving in, one of the most popular rooms in your home is the kitchen. Since it’s such a hub of activity, why not take some time to freshen it up with a few small improvements that don’t take up much time or money? First, if a backsplash didn’t come with your home, this is an addition that is as practical as it is decorative. There is a wide array of substances that can be used: glass tiles, natural stone, marble, granite – even mirrors or ceiling tin for those of you who are more daring in your choice of design. Research your choices on the internet: determine what materials, colors and durability you think will fit in with your family’s lifestyle. A backsplash can be the unifying color between your floor, cabinet and wall paint colors – or it can coordinate with cabinetry hardware and appliances. It pays to take time with this selection, since there are both material and installation costs (unless you hang the backsplash yourself ) that are costly if repeated. It’s also helpful to wait on making a final decision on this room element until certain other features are chosen. Add some architectural interest to the space by installing crown molding, framing around any windows, even wainscoting. This gives crisp contrast to edges and corners, inserting polish and a finishing touch to an otherwise workhorse of a room. Curtain treatments can enhance the theme of your kitchen since they are so effortless to customize. Fabric can be sewn into elaborate balloon shades, trim a padded cornice, create sleek roman shades or hung as simple
tie-back curtains. Since textiles can retain cooking smells if venting is not used on a regular basis, other options such as faux wood blinds or sturdy wooden Californian shutters are easy-care options. Pendant lighting is another dramatic way to tailor your kitchen’s unique identity. It’s a focal point that demands attention, which makes it another purchase to research thoroughly before installing. Do you want a modern feel, or would a whimsical crystal chandelier galvanize your French Country style? There are plenty of avant garde, award-winning European style models available. Or perhaps a refurbished vintage schoolhouse speaks to your design aesthetic. Although the myriad of options can seem daunting, it’s also exciting to put your own personal stamp on a space with this decorative component. It’s also easy to switch out if you change your mind. Once you start to explore backsplash, window treatment and lighting alternatives, preferred colors and styles will emerge, helping to narrow down the decision-making process. Take advantage of the design professionals that work at stores (or vendors) you’re sourcing from. They often have an encyclopedic knowledge of their product offerings, saving both time and confusion. Making your kitchen reflect your family’s particular taste – no pun intended – is less daunting than you might think. With a few key decorative elements in place, you’ll have a comfortable space that speaks to your lifestyle and feels perfectly at home.

Truman Needs a Home! Meet Truman. He’s about 2 years old, a Bassett Hound, Corgi, Doxie, Beagle mix, with red hair and freckles, reminiscent of Howdy Doody from the ‘50s. He gets along well with cats and other dogs. He was found wandering along the freeway near Alpine. All searches of his owners turned up empty. We fear he was dumped and left to make it on his own. He was brought to Lucky Pup Dog Rescue in San Diego, which is a 501c3 Dog Rescue organization. He’s got personality and loves to go for walks, and have his tummy scratched. He would do best in a home with older children (over 10 is best), and he still can be a little shy in new
situations. He is potty trained and would make such a great companion. You can learn more about Truman and the other wonderful rescue dogs they have on their website, http://www. LuckyPupDogRescue.com. There you will find a YouTube video of Truman.  Their adoption process includes an application (you can download from their website), a home visit, and a donation to their rescue. For more information call Christine at (858) 945-8341 or email them at info@luckypupdogrescue.com.

Updating Your Home Inventory It’s April and we’re right in the middle of spring, and many of us are getting ready to perform that annual upheaval of the home – the Spring Clean. What you may not know is that it’s also the perfect time to do another household project that should be done yearly – your Home Inventory.  A home inventory is a list of your possessions that is useful in making a quick and accurate claim with your insurance company in case of a natural disaster or other large home insurance claim. I recommend my clients update their home inventory every spring – what better time to take stock of what you have than when you are emptying your closets, dusting things off, and organizing in general.  Write down any large purchases you may have overlooked from the holidays and other end-of-winter shopping events like President’s Day Weekend. If you just purchased a new flat screen TV to watch the Super Bowl in February, write it down and file the receipt. The easiest way is to go from one room to the next and jot down each article of furniture, electronics, sporting goods, home dÊcor, and the other items in your home. Throughout the year, make sure you keep the receipts of any big-ticket items to help catalog your claim quickly.  Now is also a good time to realize that you may need to add riders or even a separate inland marine policy to your homeowners’ policy for any

This is also a good time to decide whether you want full replacement value for your items or depreciated replacement cost for them. For example, this will determine whether you get a brand new TV in the event yours is damaged or the depreciated amount your old TV was worth. This may be a large difference in reimbursement so talk it over with your agent. Our agency provides convenient lists that guide our clients’ itemization, but another quick way to take inventory is with a video camera. Walk through your house and narrate what you are filming, making sure to pay attention to electronics, furniture, and any other high value or important items. These days, there are even home inventory back up apps for your smart phone – like Home Inventory, Inventory, and My Stuff. And there are even more programs for your home computer. No matter which way you keep track of your belongings, updating your home inventory each spring will help keep you ready for the annual southern California fire season, and able to rest a bit easier knowing your home is prepared.

National Earth Day April 22 That is what National Earth Day is all about – bringing a heightened awarenes and sensitivity to what we want to create in our neighborhoods, the ocean, the world. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970. It has grown into an event around the world with 175 countries participating. College campuses and themeparks all over will be celebrating Earth Day and Mother Earth. Just because somebody changed their awareness, the world is changing.
I am very grateful to San Elijo Middle School for requiring students to volunteer three hours a month. This program got our family out to Moonlight beach on a somewhat chilly Sunday. We brought gloves, trash bags, and some friends. The pride and joy in knowing you are doing a small part to improve the environment makes picking up trash quite rewarding. The boys got lots of positive feedback from other very grateful beach goers. I am very happy to report that large pieces of trash were very nearly impossible to find. The fact is we were able to pick up about five pounds of small bits and pieces. The item that filled our trash bags the most was cigarette butts. Let’s hope these are the only cigarettes any of the boys touch in their lifetime. Dear smokers out there, cigarette butts are trash, not nature. A good majority of the butts were on the ground around the sitting benches and right next to a trash bin. The other big offender was water bottle caps. It appears people carry fresh water for themselves and leave the caps on the sand.
If your idea of a great weekend is to work out, have I got some fun for you. We enjoyed a beautiful walk and at the end of the day my trash-picking-up muscles were extremely sore. Not my fingertips, but the muscles used to squat down to pick up trash for a continuous hour. Now that is one way to get ready for swimsuit season.
As we drove home, we found that we were all in “Hyper Trash Awareness Mode” (my own new term, as you might have guessed). Do any of you remember the days when people tossed trash out their car windows? We would be horrified by this today. It took a change of awareness for everyone to quit trashing up the place. Change your awareness and change the world!

business highlight North County RV and Boat Storage As we’ve said throughout this issue of The Fountain, Spring Break is almost here. For those of you who are lucky enough to own an RV, boat or trailer, this article is for you! Are you planning on a road trip? You know what comes with a road trip – mess, chaos, food particles stuck in the depths of seats, the occasional spill of a juice box, and tiny particles of Goldfish that seem to find their way into every crevice and corner of your vehicle. Well, if you went to your typical RV storage facility, you would get your gate code, pay your fee, park, punch out your gate code and leave. You may get to speak with one person at the office who would collect your money, send your bill out and answer the occasional question.
At North County RV and Boat, they offer so much more. Remember those shards of Goldfish crackers? They will be whisked away with a full detail, cleaning, wash and wax. The nasty sewage that you don’t want to think about will be taken care of for you. Your propane tank will be refilled and ready to go the next time you have the urge to take a road or boat trip. When you drive your RV or boat into the facility, they offer a full valet service. A tractor hooks up to your trailer/boat, and you keep your own keys. The secure area is not open to anyone, not even other customers. North County RV gives you the ability to choose from vendors that do repairs, delivery and fueling. This family-owned company believes in customer service. They treat their customers well and offer affordable, competitive pricing. Trips are always fun, exciting, memorable adventures, but very often, the hassle of planning, organizing and cleaning up after the road trip is less than appealing. Let North County RV and Boat take the hassle out of your vacation. Your RV and boat will be ready to go when you are ready to pick it up. For more information, visit northcountyrvstorage.net. North County RV and Boat Storage is located at: 1551 Sycamore Avenue, Vista, CA 92081. (760) 598-7878

have you met the hometown gang? (Pictured left to right) Back: Susie Sherry, Mary Maloney, Steve Golden, Lynn Adams. Front: Keith Castiglione, Ilana Huff, Faye Capps, Angela Holt.
Not a phrase sellers are used to hearing in recent years, but since January 1, 2012, we have been saying it.... A LOT! With record low inventory, record low interest rates and a highly desirable community, we are seeing quick sales and short market times. Supply and demand has always played a big part in real estate, but right now, it is having a great impact on movement in the market. Whether it will help to start pushing prices upward is still left to be seen as we move from the spring market into the summer selling season, but for now, we welcome the opportunity to help our clients understand how to navigate this market to reach their goals!! How can we help you? Stop by for a chat or give us a call. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get to know each other!
