The city plans to tear down a wall, shown above, at the end of Starlight Drive to build a gate for access in and out of Encinitas Community Park.

The City of Encinitas will build a public right-of-way along Starlight Drive that will lead through Encinitas Community Park as a route between Cardiff Elementary and Ada Harris Elementary.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The city is planning to build a pathway to Encinitas Community Park through a Cardiff neighborhood on the southwest corner of the park, but some neighbors have publicly opposed the project and have threatened possible legal action should it move forward. The city council on Oct. 11 approved — with council member Mark Muir dissenting and 16 public speakers sharing their opinions about — a $66,000 gate at the end of Starlight Drive, off Warwick Avenue, as part of a safe walking route to school between Ada Harris and Cardiff elementary schools. But some neighbors at that meeting argued the gate would reduce privacy and safety for the five homes along

Starlight Drive, which is privately owned, has no sidewalks and currently dead-ends with a wall that separates the street from the park. Regan Schaar, a six-year resident whose home sits on the corner of Warwick and Starlight, said her house would essentially become a "fishbowl" that passerby could look into when they walk by. Her son's bedroom is 18 feet from the proposed walkway, she said, adding concerns about possible homeless people who may live in the park and would have easier access to her home. "My husband said our house would become like a line at Disneyland where people can walk by our house and look right in," Schaar said in an interview in the neighborhood following the meeting.

impacting the area, Ogata said. Schaar argued she believed the area wasn't a true "safe route" to school since there were hills on Warwick and Starlight that would affect accessibility for the disabled. The hills would also create blindspots for drivers who wouldn't see the children walking or biking by, she said. She argued the pathway would also only save about two to four minutes for children traveling between the two schools. "This isn't a safe route to school," Schaar said. "It's a path through a neighborhood with a gate. If that's what [the city] wanted it to be, that's what they should have said it was. There's no reason to put a path in this street. There's no reason to disrupt and SEE PARK, A15

Local couple’s blood donation for Las Vegas hits close to home

ENCINITAS ADVOCATE

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY he first time Ryan Manion donated blood, it was to get out of class in high school. When he donated for the second time in Encinitas on Oct. 25, it was for a more personal reason. The blood drive, hosted by Sherri Babaie of Natural Elements Wellness Collective in Encinitas and the San Diego Blood Bank, aimed to support the victims of the Oct. 1 Las Vegas shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival that killed 58 people and injured 546 others. Manion and his wife narrowly missed the shooting,

She also shared concerns that a public access road could diminish nearby property values. Starlight Drive has two irrevocable offers of dedication that were made in the 1970s that would allow the city to take it over at any time to be dedicated as public right-of-way, should it be needed for public use. Ron Ogata, who has lived in the neighborhood since the 1980s, said he had heard neighbors came to an agreement with the city years ago that the area wouldn't be affected by traffic when the park was being considered. However, staff at the Oct. 11 meeting said no records indicating that information were found. Neighbors also formed no-park and scaled-back park committees to show they were not in favor of a park

Woman charged as police investigate drugs furnished to students BY TERI FIGUEROA San Diego police are investigating possible drug sales by at least one person — a high school parent — who may have provided substances to teenagers at a private San Diego high school and possibly other schools as well, authorities said last week. A Carmel Valley woman has been charged thus far in the investigation involving students at Cathedral Catholic High School. According to court documents, 48-year-old Kimberly Quach faces 37 counts, including 10 charges of employing a minor to sell or carry marijuana, and 16 counts of furnishing marijuana to a minor over the age of 14. There are also two charges that she sold or provided a minor with suboxone, a controlled substance associated with treating opiod dependence, and one charge of selling

or providing a minor with alprazolam (Xanax), a tranquilizer. Other charges include five counts of child abuse, one count of theft by false impersonation and an accusation that she provided a place for people to obtain drugs. The alleged crimes took place sometime between Jan. 1 and Sept. 28, the day Quach was arrested. She remained jailed Wednesday, Oct. 18 in lieu of $200,000 bail. She has pleaded not guilty. The Public Defender’s office is representing her, but declined comment Thursday, Oct. 19. Kevin Eckery, vice chancellor with the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego, said Cathedral Catholic officials were made aware of the investigation shortly after Quach’s arrest. SEE DRUGS, A16

Residents invited to share insight on new public art piece A proposal for new public art in Encinitas has been evaluated and approved by the City of Encinitas Commission for the Arts. The next step in the process is to gather public input. Residents can share their opinions in a survey about the artwork by visiting bit.ly/2i1WXqe. The deadline is Nov. 7. The survey results will be included in a report to the City Council for its consideration to accept or decline the proposal.

CITY OF ENCINITAS

Residents can share insight by Nov. 7 on a new public art piece, shown here.

Meeting set to discuss proposed voting districts The City of Encinitas has added another public meeting for residents to review and discuss proposed voting districts as part of the city’s exploration of district-based elections. The meeting will be held on Monday, Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. at Encinitas City Hall, 505 S. Vulcan Avenue. This added meeting will give residents one more chance to review and provide comments on the proposed boundaries before the City Council is anticipated to vote for its preferred option at its Nov. 8 meeting. Draft boundary maps are also available to view online by visiting www.encinitasca.gov and searching “draft maps.” Residents may provide

comments about the maps via email at encinitas@ndcresearch.com or in person at the Oct. 30 meeting. Since August, the City of Encinitas is in the process of exploring the transition to a system where City Council members are elected by district instead of serving at-large. If approved, the new system would begin with the November 2018 election. So far, the city has held three public meetings on the topic. The Oct. 30 and Nov. 8 meetings will round out the public outreach on this issue. Both will be held at 6 p.m. at Encinitas City Hall.

BY LINDA MCINTOSH Harry and Marjorie “Marge” Grossman met nearly 77 years ago. They happened to be at a cafe in Union Pier, Mich., where they were each vacationing with friends. He looked across the room, saw Marge and decided he’d like to get to know her. Two years later, on Oct. 17, 1942, they got married. They dated for 16 months and at one point when Marge was boarding a train in Chicago to visit Harry, who was stationed in New Jersey, Harry’s mother told Marge, “Don’t get married.” It has been a family joke since: “Who listens to their mother-in-law,” Marge, 96, said. A sense of humor is one of the things the couple shares. When asked what attracted her

to Harry, Marge said, “He asked me.” And what attracted Harry? “She said yes.” Marge said one of her favorite traits in Harry is, “He’s nice, thoughtful, and says ‘yes’ when I ask him for money.” Harry, 99, said, “She’s a great dresser and has some beautiful jewelry...that I bought.” Their secret to a long marriage: “Tolerance,” Harry said. “You have to be fond of the person you’re with,” Marge said. After serving in the Army during World War II, Harry worked for the Chicago Herald American newspapers collecting marketing statistics on how certain products, such as liquor, were selling.

Adult students enthralled by top professors at One Day University BY LOIS ALTER MARK "There's something special about teaching a group of people who are there for the sheer love of learning rather than merely checking a box on their degree or fulfilling a requirement,” said Dr. Dr. Andrew Andrew Shatté Oct. 14 about presenting his lecture on Shatté “The Power of Resilience and the Science of Stress” at One Day University in San Diego. One Day University brings together the most popular professors from top schools around the country for half-day events which attract adult “students,” many of Professor whom have long since Jeremi Suri graduated college and just want to continue learning. “One Day U audiences are smart, mature and accomplished professionally,” Shatté continued. “If you can wow these folks, it feels like a genuine achievement." Dr. Robert Shatté definitely wowed Greenberg the audience of 225 who came to the Auditorium at the Scripps Research Institute to hear him, Professor Jeremi Suri and Dr. Robert Greenberg speak about the subjects that are their passion. In fact, the audience was wowed by all three presenters – just like the

speakers who know how to keep an audience rapt.” Shatté was voted the best professor by students at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and, in 2006, he received the Dean’s Award for Distinguished Teaching. Suri, who spoke about “The Impossible Presidency: From Washington and Jefferson to Obama and Trump,” holds the Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in

Global Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2007, Smithsonian Magazine named him one of America’s “Top Young Innovators” in the Arts and Sciences. Greenberg – a.k.a. the “Elvis of music history and appreciation,” according to the Bangor Daily News – presented “Music as a Mirror of History: 300 Years in 60 Minutes.” He has been designated an official “Steinway Artist,” and has been awarded three Nicola de Lorenzo Composition Prizes and three Meet-The-Composer Grants. Students took notes in the examination blue books distributed before the event started, writing down important takeaways from each speaker. Suri reminded the audience of the importance of learning from history. He encouraged mentoring young people to get involved in public service, saying he has so much faith in our kids, he would happily replace the Texas legislature with his undergraduate students. “I will be back in 10 years and I promise we will have a new President and she will be doing everything differently,” he said. Greenberg demonstrated how the environment shapes the style of music, mirroring the larger culture. “For a composer, music acts as a diary,” he explained. “Their music will naturally reflect something of themselves and the world in which they’re living.” Shatté shared the secret to happiness. “Transitory things don’t make us happy,” he said. “Meaning and purpose are important SEE TEACHERS, A18

The sight of mothers and their newborns in Tijuana struggling amid a lack of basic health care left an indelible impact. Patricia Mogul had already been doing everything she could to promote Project Concern International’s mission to create sustainable, community-driven solutions in some of the world’s most impoverished places. But her two trips — first in 2014, and again last October — to see PCI’s programs in Tijuana made her commitment even more real. It was there, in 1961, that Dr. James Turpin, a physician from Coronado, was volunteering at a clinic when he came across two pneumonia-stricken children on the verge of death, cases that in America would have been easily resolved with antibiotics. Struck by the profound lack of medical infrastructure, Turpin quit his family practice and founded PCI. So when Mogul found herself in Tijuana’s outskirts alongside Turpin last year as PCI’s mobile clinic doled out health care, vaccinations and medical supplies to mothers and their newborns, it deepened her devotion to PCI’s mission. “I could see that the work is actually saving people’s lives,” she said. “This is really basic aid that is being provided and it’s something that we take for granted here.” Mere months after her second trip, the opportunity arose to take her commitment to an even higher level by co-chairing PCI’s 28th annual Hands Across Borders gala. Having already pitched in on PCI’s last five

Casa Aldea offers resort-style senior living BY KAREN BILLING Casa Aldea Senior Living, nestled within a Santaluz neighborhood, offers its residents independence and wellness enhanced by services and amenities provided in an elegant home environment. The community of custom-home style residences for seniors looks and feels more like a resort with all-inclusive meals, transportation, housekeeping, a packed activities calendar, 24-hour desk assistance, a concierge and an on-site nurse in addition to the highly-trained and compassionate care team. “It really is a senior living experience unlike any other,” said Catherine Ratelle, executive director. Casa Aldea opened in June with 46 assisted living apartments and 17 memory care apartments. Casa Aldea is assisted living based on needs, offering as much or as little as the resident wants. The memory care program for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia focuses on caring for the whole person and caregivers help residents feel safe, secured and valued. The local owners have taken great care to create a space that caters to residents’ every need. Residents create their own schedule based on their interests, preferences, routines

FROM PARK, A1

to me kids have already found a way into the park," said resident Judy Berlfein. "Lots of us grew up in a time when we could walk and bike to places, and that's becoming less and less true. The more opportunities we give to our kids to get out on their own, the better." About half of the 16 public speakers praised the project for providing an easier walking route, while the other half were opposed to the project. Muir, the only council member to vote no on the project, said the city should keep its word to the neighbors that they would not build the pathway on Starlight. "I value park access, but I also value an agreement," he said. "I think we made an agreement with the people there, and if we were to change that, for me, it would have to be for a safety issue. I don't see a safety issue. I see the contrary to that. An agreement is an agreement." Staff said there were no records to indicate a written agreement with neighbors or references to any agreement within the environmental impact report. Schaar, Ogata and other residents urged the council to consider tabling the agenda item for a later date, but Blakespear said the proposal was thoroughly vetted by staff and there was "no new information to get." "The council has already met in closed session about this item," she said. "There were extensive safe routes to school meetings about this. There was a lot of involvement with the city staff in looking at our roads and talking to residents. There is no reason to delay things unnecessarily. ... I think there are a lot of projects that people are against when they're first proposed. Then, it goes in and people are happy with it. I understand that change is hard. We shouldn't delay decision-making because change is hard." She added the other safe routes to school projects in the city’s other school districts have already been constructed and it’s time to finalize the Cardiff project. Schaar said the neighbors, one of whom is an attorney, are considering legal action against the city should it pursue building the pathway and gate. Blakespear, an attorney and Cardiff resident, argued the city is within its rights. "I don't see any legal exposure here," she said. "This is a street that we have the right to put a path on, and this is our city park, and we have a right to put a gate into it. It benefits many local families." At the end of the Oct. 11 meeting, Blakespear instructed city staff to work with the opposing residents to determine whether they would prefer that the city pave their short section of road and maintain it, or leave it as gravel and only maintain the path. The city staff has reached out to the two property owners most affected by the path, Blakespear said, but as of Oct. 24, Schaar said city staff has made no attempts to hear her ideas.

make this ugly." But Mayor Catherine Blakespear, in a phone conversation following the Oct. 11 meeting, said the project was originally suggested by the Cardiff School District — which would not build or fund the project — and the final decision was made by the city council. "The school district’s (Safe Routes to School committee) originally suggested projects that they believed would have the highest impact for their students," she said. "The families that are unhappy about this wanted the school district to be able to pull the project back. I think they spent time advocating to the school district, but they're not the decision makers." During the evaluation process, the city looked at several potential sites for the access gate. Access over Warwick Avenue to Mackinnon Avenue and a northerly terminus of Somerset Avenue to Encinitas Community Park were also considered before they were dismissed due to conflicts with the county on Mackinnon and "significant elevation change" on Somerset, according to a city staff report. Starlight was the best option, staff concluded, because it was "relatively flat and the grade difference between Starlight Drive and the existing sidewalk on the park site is minimal." "It was clear that the improvements that would have been needed for other spots had a much bigger footprint," Blakespear said. "This is a small gate that goes straight through into the park. The city thoroughly investigated all other options, and this was the best spot. ... It's the natural place where the gate would be placed in terms of its distance between the two existing entrances." Schaar and Ogata said they were "flabbergasted" to learn a few days before the Oct. 11 meeting that the project was being voted on by the council, when they say they were told earlier this year by city representatives that the project would not continue to be considered. Blakespear said projects like this help achieve the city’s goal of creating better biking and walking options for residents. "We can do small things that make a big difference," she said. "This project is one of those things because it's a small walking path and it will connect people who currently don't have a pedestrian entrance into the Encinitas Community Park. The entire south side of the park is walled off. When you look at the area or walk around it, it's clear that having an entrance point for people to access the park will affect hundreds of people for the better." Other residents at the Oct. 11 meeting also agreed with the council majority that the access point should be built to give more options to children biking and walking to school. "When I went and looked at this from the park side and the Starlight side, there were some logs on the park side, which made it clear

mong the many ways that cancer can confound successful treatment is its ability to draw upon some of the strengths and defenses of healthy cells and tissues, exploiting them to boost its resistance to therapy and its chances of survival. An unprecedented cancer consortium intends to use that same approach to more effectively address California’s most pressing cancer-related problems and opportunities. The new University of California Cancer Consortium is an alliance of UC’s five cancer centers at UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UCSF and, of course, Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health. These centers all enjoy Comprehensive Cancer Center designation by the National Cancer Institute, which means they represent the leading minds and practices in cancer research, treatment and education. They are home, said UC President Janet Napolitano in a recent news conference announcing the consortium, “to physicians and scientists who are the very best at what they do: care for patients and conduct research that leads to new knowledge that benefits us all.” The need has never been greater. This year, more than 176,000 Californians will be diagnosed with cancer and nearly 60,000 will die from it. The estimated cost burden to the state and its residents is more than $14 billion annually. The consortium represents an effort to leverage the institutional strength of UC’s cancer centers, to produce results that are greater than the sum of its parts. Those parts are impressive. Each year, the five

academic medical centers of UC Health provide almost 900,000 days of inpatient care and 4.5 million outpatient visits. UC Health is the state’s fourth-largest healthcare delivery system, with 41,000 employees, including 12,000 nurses. The UC cancer centers treat nearly one in five cancer patients in California. Almost half of these patients are in the late stages of cancer; many with the rarest types that cannot be treated at other hospitals lacking expertise or access to clinical trials using the latest experimental drugs. Last year, UC medical centers conducted more than 1,600 clinical trials, a significant number focused on cancer, that involved more than 29,000 patients. They are moving the most promising treatments closer to federal approval and standard of care for all. The pace of innovation in cancer research and treatment these days is so fast that the best care may be in joining a trial using a drug headed to market. At Moores Cancer Center, we are currently running 300 clinical trials, including groundbreaking investigations involving immunotherapies and other forms of precision medicine. The power and possibility of the cancer consortium are obvious. Its potential is already being realized. Head and neck cancers are among the most difficult of malignancies to treat. They are a challenge compounded by the fact that many types are relatively rare. Individual doctors or centers don’t see many patients, making it difficult to deepen their understanding of the disease or develop new treatments.

www.encinitasadvocate.com Recently, Ezra Cohen, M.D., associate director for translational science at Moore Cancer Center and a renowned head and neck cancer specialist, presented early results of a clinical trial at a medical conference in Spain. The trial combines two drugs in a novel way to treat head and neck cancer. The results were promising; the trial is ongoing. The key point is that the trial could not have happened at a single center. In this case, it involves multiple UC cancer centers providing patient-participants and agreeing to abide by the recommendations of MCC’s scientific review committee and institutional review board. This unified, streamlined approach helped convince the pharmaceutical company funding the trial to take the leap. The Cancer Consortium is also uniquely positioned to partner with health insurance plans and employers to provide a seamless statewide program for oncology services. This collaboration will provide patients with cutting-edge care throughout California, including cases where a patient has to relocate within the state during their course of treatment. There are other, similar examples of progress on the cusp of reality. They involve new collaborations among colleagues across the UC Health system, new combinations of cancer researchers and physicians coming together to devise and test ideas and treatments they could not — and cannot — do alone. In fact, an effort through this consortium was initiated three days after the Napolitano’s announcement to treat pancreatic cancer, the most deadly of all forms of cancer. Despite some dramatic improvements in the rates and treatments of some malignancies, cancer overall is expected to eclipse heart disease as the nation’s top killer in coming years. The over 200 diseases we call cancer work together to create an undeniable scourge. The UC Cancer Consortium is our combined and commensurate call to arms. — Scott M.

As for fallout for students, he said the school would “cross that bridge when we come to it.” Quach faces up to 60 years and four months in prison if convicted of all charges, according to the District Attorney’s office. — Teri Figueroa is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Eckery also emailed a statement that the ongoing investigation involved Cathedral Catholic and other high schools in the area. “As part of that effort, San Diego Police and the District Attorney’s Office are directly contacting a number of CCHS families to ask for their help. Officers working the case believe there are CCHS students who may be witnesses or who may have information that would assist them,” he said.

To have this right here in San Diego is such an incredible opportunity for all of us to get involved,” she said. “It’s not just about dropping aid, it’s about organically and sustainably supporting the community and supporting people in fighting hardship from the ground up.” PCI’s diverse programs reached more than 10 million people and ran in 16 countries last year through initiatives focused on health services, food, water, education and economic empowerment. Its strategies promote a community-first approach that engages people on how to implement sustainable solutions that empower them to overcome hardship. Those initiatives have won significant strides against polio in India, Ebola in Liberia and helped Haitians recover from the 2010 earthquake. More than 200,000 children in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Tanzania receive school meals every day thanks to its anti-hunger initiative. Those efforts resonate with Mogul

because of a life steeped in global citizenship. Born in London to an American father and a German mother, her worldly mindset grew even wider in her 20s as she traveled the world as a Lufthansa stewardess. “My parents instilled that need to give back and be part of something larger than yourself. For me, having traveled the world provided an opportunity to look beyond ourselves,” she said. “I’ve learned that we all want the same for our kids. We are all the same and we all want the same things.” One program particularly dear to her heart is the Women Empowered Initiative PCI has implemented in a dozen countries — a list that now includes San Diego. Earlier this month, PCI launched a “woman empowerment boutique” geared toward the refugee and immigrant community in City Heights. Run as an incubator-plus-storefront, the boutique gives female entrepreneurs a space to create their products — so far that’s been crafts, jewelry and catering — and be mentored on the ins and outs of microfinancing, licensure and credit. Another recent push has come in the fight against human trafficking. PCI is

In the assisted living neighborhood, residents can choose from studio, one bedroom or two bedroom apartments with small kitchenettes— residents bring their own furniture. Inside the residences, there has been extreme attention to detail, both aesthetically and for convenience and safety. As an example, inside the bathrooms there are granite countertops and slate floors, shower stalls with grab bars and a bench, with a call-system if a resident needs assistance. Throughout the apartment, shelves and closet rods are low and many cabinets feature pull-out racks to make sure everything is easily accessible and allows residents to retain independence.

While the rooms are designed to offer every convenience and comfort, Ratelle said one of Casa Aldea’s goals is for residents never to be in them. “Really the best medicine is the socialization, that is the beauty of living in assisted living,” Ratelle said. “Instead of just sitting at home, they are eating meals with someone, making friends and doing activities. It’s a change in their quality of life. I’ve seen people’s health improve just by moving in.” To learn more, visit casaaldeaseniorliving.com — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

FROM ANNIVERSARY, A6 He went on to other jobs, started an outdoor billboard company and eventually became an international wholesale art dealer based in Chicago, where the couple lived. The couple traveled extensively to Europe and China to buy art, including to Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands. The trips were in contrast to their early travels when they took their two children, Eric and Judy, on road trips with a baby mattress in the back of the car and a swamp cooler on the window.

FROM SHOOTING, A1 shut the freeway down. It turned pitch black, our friend called us and asked us if we made it out alive." The friend who called, Ryan said, was also at the festival but was able to escape uninjured. Kelley Manion, Ryan's wife, said she and her husband felt lucky to be alive and that they had been searching for ways to help the victims. When the couple found out about the blood drive in Encinitas, at 545 Second Street, they said they felt compelled to donate. It was Kelley's first time giving blood. For seven minutes, blood pumped out of her left arm into a medical bag. She donated from the same arm where her three-day wristband from the concert still sits. "It's a lot hearing about it on the news or looking at photos from [the event]," she said. "It kind of gets to you a little bit. We had a lot of thinking 'Why us?' I was really excited when I saw something we could do to give back, because we were really lucky to have our lives." Kelley said she and her husband also donated to a GoFundMe account to help victims of the shooting. Babaie said she decided to host the blood drive because she wanted to help the people directly affected by the shooting. She said she had a few friends who attended the event but made it out alive and uninjured. "When it happened, a few of my friends and I were talking about how when a tragedy happens, you normally just post something

The Grossmans moved to Solana Beach five years ago and now live independently at Seacrest Village in Encinitas. Marge plays mahjong twice a week and Harry had been playing golf (shooting less than his age) up until a few months ago. He still works out a couple of times a week. Their anniversary celebration at Cucina Enoteca in the Del Mar area drew 60 guests from across the country, including their two grandchildren, Todd and Warren. “The best part of my life is any time the whole family is together,” Harry said. — Linda McIntosh is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune on social media saying you're praying," she said. "I think prayer is a really great thing, but we just wanted to take it a step further. We felt like this was a way to bring the community together and help in the face of tragedy." By 11 a.m. Oct. 25, when the donations began, Babaie said she had 100 people confirmed to donate that day and the following day. She said she reached out to the San Diego Blood Bank about four days after the Vegas shooting. Jennifer Bradley, representative of the San Diego Blood Bank, said the blood bank has conducted five donation centers in North County since the Las Vegas shooting. However, she stressed the importance of regular blood donations -- even when a tragedy has not recently occurred. "We do 170 drives a month and we still have shortages," Bradley said. "What that says is if something traumatic happens, there generally is not the amount of blood needed on the shelves. The key is keeping the shelves stocked so when things happen, the blood is there and ready to go." Blood does not become ready to use for 48 hours and expires after 42 days, she added. Only 37 percent of people are eligible to donate blood, and of that 37 percent, only about 5 percent donate on a regular basis, Bradley said. People can donate up to eight times a year. Interested donors should check sandiegobloodbank.org/donors/ blood-donor-requirements to see if they are eligible to give blood.
