BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Brighton Zeuner told her parents she wanted to skateboard when she was 5, she meant it. The action sport didn’t become just a hobby for the Cardiff girl who is now 13. It’s essentially become her life. “I just fell in love with it,” said Brighton, who has been competing — and winning — major competitions since she was 8. When she first started at 5, Brighton envied her older brother and father, who would ride their boards. She picked up a board for the first time that year but didn’t “totally get into it” until she was 8 and entered her first competition. Since then, Brighton — who grew up in

Arizona and moved to Encinitas about three years ago with her family — has been participating in what has commonly been thought of as a boys sport. But there’s plenty of other girls competing, she said, noting pro skateboarder Amelia Brodka’s annual Exposure skateboarding competition for women in Encinitas. “There’s just way more girls to skate with now,” said Brighton, adding she was one of two female skateboarders in Arizona. She added it’s inspiring to skate in Encinitas, which has been known as the home of action sports athletes such as Tony Hawk and Shaun White. Her family installed a 10-foot-by-40-foot SEE SKATER, A20

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Newly-appointed Encinitas City Council member Joe Mosca wants to preserve and acquire open space, pay careful attention to the budget and promote environmental sustainability, he said in a recent interview. Mosca was appointed at the Jan. 11 council meeting to a seat that became vacant in December when Catherine Blakespear was sworn in as mayor. Twelve people interviewed for the position at the meeting, with Mosca ultimately named for the position after a 3-1 council vote. Mosca, who has been serving on the Encinitas Parks & Recreation Commission, said preserving the city’s small-town, beach community vibe is important to him. “Parks & Rec is really the reason why my husband and I chose this community,” said Mosca, 44, who works as a manager at San Diego Gas & Electric and also practiced law. “It’s really about the feel of the community, the parks, the beaches, the programs... Those are the things that make you feel like this is a really nice community that I want to raise my kids in.” Mosca, his husband and

Mosca, a New England native — who lived in Mission Hills while studying for the California Bar exam about two decades ago — previously served four years on the Sierra Madre City Council from 2006 to 2011, including one year as mayor. He made the “difficult decision to” step down from the dais in 2011 when his husband was offered a “once-in-a-lifetime” job offer in London and he didn’t want the family to be split up.

Scripps begins utilizing innovative breast cancer treatment BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY On the afternoon of Jan. 3, Christine Geckeler had early stage breast cancer. Hours later, she did not. Geckeler, 58, underwent a new breast cancer treatment at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla that allowed her to get all her radiation at once just moments after undergoing a lumpectomy operation. The innovative treatment, called electron intraoperative radiation therapy (EIORT), which uses a $1.5 million machine called the Mobetron, replaces weeks of radiation treatment with a single dose for select breast cancer patients, said Dr. Mary K. Wilde, breast surgeon and director of the Scripps Polster Breast Care Center. Wilde started the program two years ago with Ken Shimizu, radiation oncologist. Anuradha Koka, radiation oncologist, and Cheryl Olson, general surgeon, have joined the effort and are also using the new technique. While dozens of hospitals across the county have implemented the technology, Scripps is the only institute south of Orange County that does the procedure with the gold standard electron radiation, Wilde said. A copper disk is placed under the muscle to protect the tissues below the breast, lungs and heart from radiation, said Koka, who also practices at Scripps Clinic Radiation Therapy Center Encinitas. A cone that fits into the breast where the lumpectomy was done is then placed so the doctors can see exactly where they

The machine will deliver the radiation right then and there to that spot before the incision is closed up, Koka said. The procedure, which has been used in Europe for more than 15 years, only takes about two minutes, Wilde added. In December 2015, Shimizu and Wilde started replacing one week of the former treatment with EIORT. About 60 people have been treated. Last December, the Scripps team started

the single dosage program. “In the past, the patients have had a lumpectomy in the operating room, and then they’ve healed up at home for three to four weeks, and then traditionally they would have between four and six weeks of radiation treatment to the breast,” said Wilde. “And we’d be treating the whole breast Monday through Friday for four to six weeks. That’s a big time commitment for these patients.” Geckeler, technology support manager

for AT&T who was diagnosed in November, said she did not have that time and wanted treatment that would better fit her lifestyle. That’s where EIORT came in. “My job is always out and about,” said Geckeler, who lives in Escondido. “I do a lot of things that require strength, and one of the things about full-breast radiation is they said I would get tired and it would take six to eight weeks. That did not fit me at all.” The doctors said EIORT is only available for select patients. Women must be older than 50 years old, and the tumor must be in the early stage and relatively small. It must also not have spread to the lymph nodes. “Some patients have tumors that are a little bit more aggressive and have certain biology that we don’t consider safe, so in addition to early and small, they also have to have a favorable histology, meaning the cell type,” Olson said. The types of patients who qualify for EIORT are in the minority, Wilde said. About 10 percent of the patients the doctors see are eligible for the new single dose treatment, she said. Olson said the side effects for patients treated with EIORT are minimal. The surgical procedure is different than traditional methods because of the copper plate being put into place to protect the heart and lungs, she said. “We dissect the tissue a little bit more to SEE CANCER, A20

Construction on I-5 freeway begins Work to bring improvements to Interstate 5 in North County began Jan. 17 and runs for six weeks, according to Caltrans. Crews began removing vegetation and fencing off construction areas in Solana Beach and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The vegetation that’s removed will be replaced by non-invasive landscape native to the region’s coastal zone, including almost 400 trees. The work will take about six weeks, and will be done on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with some intermittent night work, according to the state transportation agency. During the project, the part of the San Elijo Lagoon trail just east of the freeway will be closed to maintain

public safety. The work is part of the first phase of a 40-year program to upgrade the coastal transportation corridor. Called “Build NCC” — for North Coast Corridor — the project includes extending the carpool lanes on Interstate 5 in each direction through Encinitas and Carlsbad; double-tracking the rail line from Cardiff-by-the-Sea to Solana Beach; replacing the highway and rail bridges at the San Elijo and Batiquitos lagoons; restoring the San Elijo Lagoon; and constructing nearly 10 miles of new bike and pedestrian trails. Construction on the first phase is expected to be completed by 2021. – City News Service

Local students start nationwide letter-writing effort for climate change BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of local kids are hoping to raise national awareness for global warming in a letter- writing campaign to President-elect Donald Trump, beginning on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. The effort, called Kids4PlanetEarth, began late last year when mothers Ann Wycoff, a journalist, and Heidi Dewar, a marine biologist, decided more people should be aware of the climate change and invited their children to help spread the word. “I think Heidi and I were both concerned about what’s going on with the environment, and particularly with the new administration coming in if they were going to address climate change,” Wycoff said. “We’ve been hearing different opinions on how much they’re supporting the idea and notion of climate change. ... We knew the kids cared as well.” The group watched the documentary “Before the Flood” to learn about the potential dangers of climate change, including dying populations, the spread of infectious diseases and more extreme weather events, like

hurricanes and intense heat waves. Dewar added the next generation will “suffer more than we will” if nothing is done now. This led to the children deciding to write letters and send in drawings regarding their feelings on climate change to the White House. Their mission has since spread to “ambassadors” in other states, and more than 10,000 people have pledged so far to send in letters, according to the group’s website, kids4planetearth.org. The goal is to have one million letters sent to Trump’s office by Earth Day on April 22. “It just shows that global warming is a serious issue,” said Madeline Carlson, 14, an eighth grader at Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach. “One of the issues that really got to me is, since we live on the coast, the warmer temperatures are melting glaciers... and causing the water levels to rise. That can cause flooding in beach towns like Solana Beach.” She was also concerned with the population of polar bears dropping dramatically. Luke Halpern, a 13-year-old

He said that affected him directly because his family owns a cabin in the Sierra mountains. Luke said he decided to “appeal to Trump’s business side” in his letter. “There’s a large market in renewable energy sources, so I thought that maybe if he saw that he would decide there was a good business opportunity and maybe be willing to take more initiative,”

Betty Ford San Diego aims to bring hope, healing

Institute will install free smoke alarms for seniors

BY KAREN BILLING The new Betty Ford Center San Diego in Carmel Valley held a ribbon cutting celebration on Jan. 11. The outpatient treatment clinic on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley hopes to help more people get the care they need, close to home with convenient daytime and evening programming and services that support recovery. The center will offer family education workshops, mental health services and programs that target teens and opioid use. For the last three weeks the center has already been “up and thriving” — a 12-step meeting had been held earlier that day. “We are opening up a beautiful new space of healing and hope here in the San Diego area as part of the mission of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation,” said Mark Mishek, president and CEO of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. “It’s here in Southern California that Betty Ford entered her life of recovery and we’re here to really

Smoke alarms save lives. National safety statistics show that adults age 65 and older are two times more likely to perish in a home fire than any other segment of the population. Local nonprofit, the Burn Institute, wants to keep seniors safe. If you are a homeowner over the age of 62, they will install free smoke alarms in your residence, that adhere to California safety code. These free smoke alarms are equipped with 10-year lithium batteries, that last the entire life of the alarm. Don’t get up on a ladder and risk falling — let trained professionals do it for you at no cost. Email smokealarm@burn institute.org or call 858-541-2277 to schedule your free smoke alarm installation today.

celebrate and extend the legacy of Mrs. Ford and all of the tremendous and courageous things that she did. We’re here to honor that and to serve more people under her watchful eye.” The nation’s largest nonprofit treatment provider, the foundation has roots back to 1949 in Hazelden’s first rehab facility in a Minnesota farmhouse and the first Betty Ford Center was opened in 1982. There are currently 17 sites in nine states. The Betty Ford Center in Coachella Valley is world-renowned and Mishek said they hope the center in San Diego becomes the same kind of strong institution. The center, located on the second floor, includes a large conference room, as well as small meeting rooms and private counseling offices. Touches of San Diego are noted in the artwork and in a Torrey Pines glass mural that marks the conference room and hallway. A portrait of Betty Ford hangs in the spacious lobby.

Brian Couey, director of outpatient services, said the message at the core of the facility is one of hope and in their ability to help transform lives and communities. “We are all painfully aware of the opioid crisis and it continues to have a devastating impact on this community and the nation,” Couey said. In response, the Betty Ford Foundation developed the innovative COR-12, a Comprehensive Opioid Response program with the 12 steps. Couey said the holistic approach, which includes a medication-assisted rehab to ease withdrawal, has a proven track record of keeping patients engaged. Over the past several years, patients are increasingly coming to them at a much-younger age. Couey said that, at the center, the team specializes in an individual program for teens.

Scripps has merged its treatment center into theirs and they opened with 10 staff members from Scripps now a part of the Betty Ford family. Steinhagen said they are the group that will work the “magic” under the leadership of Couey and he hopes that the center will be a tribute to the Betty Ford Center, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. “Betty Ford’s legacy includes her courage and commitment to advocacy, she broke down the barriers of stigma and paved the way for people to walk through the doors of community-based facilities such as this one in San Diego,” Steinhagen said.

Scripps doctors in Encinitas first in the west to use new technology for spinal surgery

San Dieguito Academy presents 5th annual play/fundraiser to benefit theatre department San Dieguito Academy alum Paul Coates, class of 1976, will return to the Encinitas school to present an original play on Feb. 25 in the Clayton E. Liggett Theater on the SDA campus that will benefit the theatre department. Coates will present the world premiere of part two of his Living Plays trilogy, The Middle of It. “With world premieres of The End of It (Part One), and his collection of monologues, Pain, Paul is thrilled to be presenting another world premiere of The Middle of It with a cast of special guest artists, SDA alumni and current SDA students,” according to a news release from the school. “Where his play, The End of It dealt with the marriage and separation of three couples after twenty years together, The Middle of It explores three new couples and their powerful, funny and complicated relationships with their children. This play is about the children in our lives not about how we shape them but how they shape us.” The play includes mature content and parents should use discretion, the school recommended. Proceeds from the Feb. 25 event, with showings at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at 800 Santa Fe Drive, benefit the theatre department, guest artists and technicians, theatrical resources and supplies for students. General admission tickets are $35. A limited amount of VIP tickets for the 7 p.m. performance are also available for $135. For tickets and more information, visit www.seatyourself.biz/sandieguito.

Doctors at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas on Jan. 10 became the first west of the Rocky Mountains to use new robotic technology to perform a spinal fusion surgery. The robot, called Mazor X, brings “a new level of accuracy to these delicate operations,” according to a news release from the hospital. Mazor X uses a variety of integrated technologies to help surgeons develop a pre-operative treatment plan; make automated measurement and alignment calculations; and provide precise intraoperative guidance and verification to ensure the surgical plan is followed to each patient’s unique qualifications. Scripps orthopedic surgeons Neville Alleyne and Payam Moazzaz performed lumbar spinal fusion surgery — which relieves symptoms of many back conditions — on a patient using Mazor X, which helps guide procedures and was commercially launched in October, according to Scripps. The Mazor X can be potentially used for patients with degenerative spine

There are currently 11 other Mazor X systems in use in the United States, with Scripps Encinitas having the only one west of the Rockies, according to Scripps. “This new approach represents

a big step forward for patients, because it enables surgeons to be even more precise, consistent and efficient in the operating room,” Alleyne said. “It opens the door for patients with a variety of spinal issues to benefit from this leading-edge treatment approach.” - Submitted press release

Right-to-die champion shares movement history BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN t was in the early 1980s when long-time San Diegan and now-resident of Vi retirement community at La Jolla Village, Faye Girsh, was asked to help a 28-year-old quadriplegic woman die. “She wanted to die by stopping to eat and drink, which was illegal at the time. I evaluated her and found she was a smart, confident lady, not depressed. She just wanted to die.” As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Girsh assisted the woman at the court trial, which she lost. But that sparked a lifetime of involvement in the “Right-to-Die” movement. In 1986, Girsh organized a Right-to-Die conference, which was sponsored by UC San Diego Medical School, where she met Derek Humphrey, then-president and founder of the Hemlock Society. Girsh went on to start the San Diego chapter of the Hemlock society, over which she still presides. Girsh, who before beginning her path in the Right-to-Die movement was a civil rights activist, said her motivation always was the “injustice” behind denying a person the right to decide how they want to die. “Many people do it themselves, use violent methods (to end their lives) because their suffering is so great, and that just seems to me to be horribly unjust,” she explained. By the time she started the Hemlock Society of San Diego, it was legal in California to refuse all treatments other than food and water. A person could indicate in a living will, which treatments and when to refuse them, and appoint a representative to speak for them in case they couldn’t do it for themselves. “But that was not enough,” Girsh said. In 1987, she started the long process than ended in 2015 when the California legislature approved the End of Life Option Act that allows a terminally-ill patient to request the drugs necessary to grant them a peaceful and painless death. “We got the initiative on the ballot in 1992, but we were outspent by the Catholic

Faye Girsh, 83, is a resident at Vi retirement community at La Jolla Village, and still promoting ‘death with dignity.’ Church,” she explained. The Catholic Church, among other groups, maintains it amounts to assisted suicide and goes against the will of God. But the approved legislation, Girsh said, is still not enough. “If you don’t have a terminal disease but you’re suffering from some horrible disease, and if you’re not mentally competent, these laws are useless,” she continued, adding that her worst fear is losing her mental faculties. “If I knew I had dementia, what would happen is, it would get very bad, I would be put in the memory unit, and then my life could go on and on, and I might not have a clue who I am, where I am or who my loved ones are. If I knew that was going to happen, I would try to get the medication from some illegal means and take it.” From 1996 to 2002 Girsh was president of the Hemlock Society USA, and 2002-2004 senior vice president of

End-of-Life-Choices (Hemlock’s temporary name). During that time, she said, she resided in Denver, Colorado where the Society is based, to manage its national operations. At age 83, Girsh said she has survived two husbands and thought a great deal about her own death. “When I got into the movement, I was young, and now I’m old, so it becomes personal. I live in a retirement community where many people die very bad deaths,” she explained. “It’s essential to me to know that I can end it when I want, in a gentle, peaceful way, and maybe I would want to have a party with my friends to say goodbye. I think hospice is a wonderful institution, and if I had hospice care and I wasn’t suffering too much, I would want to live until the very end, if I was enjoying life. But if I was going through suffering and indignity, I would like to end it with my kids and maybe grandkids (near), in my own apartment,” she elaborated. A native of Philadelphia, Girsh said she moved to San Diego in 1978 after “three winters in Chicago.” In 2003, she was awarded Hemlock’s Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2016, the Marilyn Sequin Award from the World Federation of Right-to-Die Societies. Girsh recommends to people of all ages that they write their living will and appoint someone to speak for them in case of an accident or sudden illness. The detail of the instructions, she added, should be substantial. “Suppose I got hit by a truck this afternoon. I can’t speak or breathe or feed myself. But the chances are that I might recover, so in the meantime, I would want to be fed artificially and put on breathing machine, and maybe on dialysis even. But then, if in a couple months, if I was still needing these things, I would want to be re-examined, and if there was no chance of recovery, I would want to be taken off these things,” she concluded. ■ Want to know more about the Right-to-Die movement?

Innocence Project co-founder discusses wrongful convictions BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Twenty years ago, California Innocence Project director and co-founder, Justin Brooks, changed his career as a criminal defense lawyer for a tenured teaching position at a university in Michigan, a small Victorian house and a good public school for his children. But the quiet, tranquil life as a professor only lasted one year, Brooks told those gathered at the La Jolla Bar Association meeting Jan.12. “I read an article in the Justin newspaper that talked about a Brooks 21-year-old woman sentenced to death on a plea bargain,” he explained, “I went to visit her on death row, and I found a kid who didn’t speak English fluently, and she tells me this other amazing thing, which is, ‘I’m innocent.’ ” That was enough for Brooks to sell his Victorian cottage and move to San Diego to start the ground-breaking California Innocence Project (CIP). This law school clinical program, based out of California Western School of Law, is dedicated to releasing wrongfully convicted inmates and giving students real life law-practicing experience. Brooks said he decided to start the program in California because the state is “the belly of the beast” with the largest prison system in the country and the “toughest” sentence structure. CIP reviews 2,000 claims of innocence a year, and chooses a few wherein they find strong evidence of innocence to pursue. With the help of students who participate in the clinic and

The ‘XONR8’ movement, created by California Innocence Project, strives to create awareness about wrongful convictions in the legal community. attorneys who volunteer their time, they reopen closed cases, do DNA testing, gather evidence, speak to witnesses and, more importantly, free innocent, wrongfully convicted people. Brooks reported that so far, there have been 2,000 documented cases of wrongful conviction in the United States. “You may remember a time when people where deeply cynical about this, but DNA was a game changer. The Federal government has admitted that there are innocent people in prison,” he said. Today there are 60 Innocence Projects in different parts of the country, and many more around the world. “This is a global problem,” Brooks insisted. “It’s not like the U.S. justice system is the worst in the world.” Citing a study that researched the country’s

first 300 DNA exonerations, he listed the most common causes of wrongful conviction. The No. 1, he said, is “bad identifications.” “The study also found that 31 percent (of incorrect IDs) was attributed to false information from informants.” Brooks went on to explain that human memory, is mostly not reliable as evidence in a trial. “Our memories are affected by everything at the time of the memory. Stress, fear, alcohol … the problem is, every time there is a gun involved, your focus is on the gun,” he said. Furthermore, when a witness is identifying a suspect from a race different than his own, there’s a 50 percent change that the ID is wrong. “Our ability for facial recognition is mostly developed in the first four years of our lives,” Brooks explained. “So when you’re looking at your mom, brothers and sisters, if

they all look the same, you’re going to be terrible at cross-racial identification for the rest of your life. Lawyers have to learn how to talk to jurors about this and not sound racist, because there’s nothing racist about it.” As an example, he used the case of Uriah Courtney, a San Diegan who was sentenced to life in prison and served eight years for a kidnapping and rape that he didn’t commit. His identification was based on the fact that he wore a goatee at the time. “Fortunately, the District Attorney agreed to a DNA testing on the victim’s clothing and we got a direct match with this guy, who lived a few blocks away from the crime scene and was a convicted sex offender,” Brooks said. The CIP also pushes legislation to prevent cases of wrongful conviction. “This year,at my office, we wrote two laws that are now law in California; we changed the evidence standards for reopening old cases, creating the laws that allow access to DNA testing for people who are cross-rated, and we changed the law about compensating people who have been wrongfully convicted. Every year we have a legal agenda we push through Sacramento,” Brooks elaborated. He said in San Diego County, they’ve been able to create a climate of collaboration with District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, which allows them to reopen old cases more easily than in other California counties. ■ Want to Know More?

Local woman bears message of hope for ostomy patients BY KAREN BILLING After undergoing her own ostomy surgery, local resident Dawnette Meredith created Awesome Ollie the Ostomy Bear, to provide comfort and positivity to young ostomy patients. She made her first deliveries of Ollies to Rady Children’s Hospital ostomy nurses last year and is looking to get bears into the arms of more kids this year. “It was so joyful, to take something that isn’t ideal and make something positive out of it; to make somebody happy,” Meredith said. There are many reasons why people undergo ostomy surgeries, creating an opening in the body for the discharge of waste. Meredith’s reason was the digestive illness she had since birth, battling colonic-inertia for a long 49 years, nine months and 15 days. “I was left with no other choice but to have the surgery done. I did and I feel so much better,” said Meredith, who had the surgery in December 2015 and now lives with an ostomy bag. “I’ve been on a mission to tell people it’s not that bad. I can still swim, run, hike, surf, do hot yoga. It’s really been motivating for me to be an advocate for what this is and that you can live a full life.” She started a video blog where she helps answer lifestyle questions for those living with ostomy bags and how they shouldn’t be afraid to get back to doing what they love. After her ostomy surgery, Meredith went online and found a stuffed bunny with an ostomy bag, made in Scotland. She ordered one for herself and was so happy when the cute and admittedly expensive bunny with a

Dawnette Meredith pouch arrived. “My bunny was a bright spot in my recovery. It was a daily reminder to smile and laugh at an otherwise less than ideal situation,” Meredith said. “It somehow made it easier to talk about my illness and recent surgery.” The bunny gave her the idea for Awesome Ollie, to help kids going through the same thing she did. She started in her own backyard where Rady Children’s Hospital performs roughly 120 ostomy surgeries per year. She got in touch with the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society to help make the connection with Rady and “worked like a crazy woman” to find a way to produce the

bears. Meredith buys the bears locally and cuts and sews the ostomy pieces themselves — the pouch and a red stoma button. The bears are then sent to a commercial sewer in order to meet safety standards. She and her husband sponsored the first eight bears, which were delivered to Rady nurses in October 2016. “They were so excited,” said Meredith, who isn’t able to distribute the bears herself due to privacy laws but loves to hear the stories about the recipients. “It’s great for the nurses because it’s a learning tool to use with the kids, it helps them talk to kids about what’s going on in their bodies.” Meredith approached her ostomy support

She has since had requests for bears from the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, as well as a hospital in New Jersey. Meredith’s goal — and she acknowledges it’s a big one — is to get Awesome Ollie bears in every children’s hospital in the country. “It’s just something that made me happy and I want to pass that along,” Meredith said.

For Susan Egan, her dream came true on Broadway as Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and now she is headed to San Diego. Tony-nominated Broadway superstar Susan Egan, will be headlining the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s Rendezvous in Paris Gala on Feb. 25. In preparation for the big event, two CCA Cinema students, Daniel Goodman and Christopher Razniak, volunteered for a learning experience of a lifetime: head to Orange County on a rainy Monday morning to shoot a promo video with Susan Egan. Greeted with kindness and enthusiasm, Egan invited the students into her home. This was the first time the young filmmakers had worked with a professional performer, but also the first time the performer had been filmed by high school students. Egan was impressed with the professional equipment and training of the young director and filmmaker. The shoot was originally planned to be done outdoors, using natural light, but rainy conditions forced a move to the indoors, making lighting a challenge. Once Egan tilted the blinds to just the right brightness, arranged the camera angle and tested the audio – they were ready. Promo video, take 1.

Artist shows work of re-purposed packaging in gallery

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY What many consider trash, Tom Driscoll sees as potential art. The San Diego resident has re-purposed plastic packaging into colored casts for about 12 years. “You know when you buy a screwdriver or toy or something from Target or Toys ‘R’ Us, you always get this nice plastic packaging? You rip it, take the item out and throw the packaging away,” said the 71-year-old man, who lives in the City Heights area. “I use that packaging.” Driscoll began collecting the pieces as a custodian at a research facility more than a decade ago. There, he would find interesting packaging that once belonged to uniquely-shaped computer equipment, like old mouses. He has since gained a habit of paying attention to packaging while at the store. His wife will also often go shopping and buy items with interesting packaging to bring home to her husband. The packaging, which Driscoll often refers to as “molds,” is then put in a damp box and then a hard colored plaster — he has dozens of colors to choose from — is poured on. It sits for about a half hour, and then Driscoll has a new piece. Driscoll, who studied art and sculpture at Southwestern College in Chula Vista in the 1970s, said he can also use Styrofoam packaging but he prefers plastic due to its glossiness. He said his work, which is currently on display at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas

San Diego-based artist Tom Driscoll is presenting his show “Array,” full of casts of packaging materials, at the Lux Art Institute. through March 13, is a “reflection of society’s consumerism habit.” “I’m generally critical of how we carry on and buy too much stuff at Christmas time,” Driscoll said. “We buy toys that break, and they go in the trash. That creates waste. The stuff comes in by the ton on container ships. Then it’s purchased one-time only for the kids, then it’s gone. I come along and find the packaging and use it.”

However, he said, the work — which has also been displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla and the Oceanside Museum of Art — isn’t aimed at promoting environmentalism. Driscoll, who described himself as a “scavenger,” said the packaging can be cast multiple times. However, the plastic or foam can wear away after three or four years. Large knots in various colors are also on

display in Driscoll’s show. For these, he uses foam coil — the kind the highway department uses to fill cracks in the freeway — and randomly ties up knots. He then coats them with primer to solidify the surface and applies two coats of color. In his 12 years with this project, Driscoll said he has collected about 100 different types of packaging “from the toy world to the computer world to the gardening world.” “It’s wide open,” he said. “Whatever you buy, I’ll come by and get your molds.” He said one of his favorite molds he has created came from a Styrofoam package of ice cream cones, which looked like triangles stacked atop one another to give a “wonderful rocket kind of shape.” The appeal in the work is that it is easy and fast to create, Driscoll said. He said he likes that he can pour something in a mold, come back an hour later and have a new piece. “I think that’s maybe part of my attraction,” he said, laughing. “I don’t want to labor for months on a piece.” For this reason, it’s also easy for Driscoll to not worry about his pieces when they break. He recalled a museum calling him about someone bumping into one of his pieces, which then fell to the floor and shattered. “I told them it was no problem,” he said, smiling. “It’s very unusual to be able to replace a piece within a day, but I’m glad to do it.” The Lux Art Institute is located at 1550 S.

Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, the musical follows rock star wannabe Robbie Hart (played by Nick Hamparyan) who is Jersey’s favorite

wedding singer. His life is turned upside down when his fiancé leaves him. The musical features a large chorus and is sure to entertain. “’The Wedding Singer’ is guaranteed to have audience members snapping their fingers and bopping their heads,” said theater teacher and director Fredreka Irvine.

National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter Class of 2021 Tea Members of the class of 2021 of the National Charity League, Inc., San Dieguito Chapter (NCL, Inc. San Dieguito) enjoyed their class meeting and tea on Sunday, Jan. 8, at Marlene’s Tea & Cakes. The mother and daughter members of the class of 2021 attending the tea and meeting enjoyed socializing and learning about proper tea etiquette. The girl-led meeting consisted of an icebreaker joke about tea as well as an inspirational quote. The girls led committee reports on items including their class retreat, father/daughter outing and cultural event plans. The 8th grade class hosts the chapter-wide Mother-Daughter Awards Tea held in May. Ticktockers voted on a tea invitation and centerpieces for the

Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team plan to film episodes of the hit series American Pickers throughout California in spring 2017. American Pickers is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on the History channel. The hit show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Wolfe and Fritz are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically

significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. Wolfe and Fritz have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them. American Pickers is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to:americanpickers@cine flix.com or call 855-OLD-RUST.

Opinion: Kid stuff – for grown-ups

o matter how old they get, when you take your kids to a Science Museum, it’s like they’re 10 again. I was very excited to see the Fleet Science Center’s Art of the Brick exhibit over the winter break and asked my 20-year-old son and his 18-year-old girlfriend if they’d like to join us. Legos were part of both their lives growing up, so they agreed to go, although it didn’t appear to be high on their list of things to do on their three-week college break. Truth is, I think they were just being nice to me. But when we got there, it was a different story. The Art of the Brick exhibit was, truly, amazing – and I don’t use that word lightly. It’s not just a bunch of Lego bricks jammed together to make some wild figures or shapes. It was jaw-dropping creativity and art by any definition of the word. And the kids agreed. Using thousands of varied sizes and colors of Lego bricks, artist Nathan Sawaya brilliantly recreates masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, and a life-size Whistler’s Mother. Sawaya also builds replicas of statues and famous sculptures, some life-size, from prehistoric times and early Egyptian, Babylonian and Mesopotamian eras, to more recent three-dimensional art. The Lego exhibit includes Michelangelo’s David, Rodin’s The

Thinker, the bust of Queen Nefertiti (my personal favorite for the vibrancy of the colors and authenticity of the design), Egypt’s Sphinx, Venus De Milo and so many others. Sawaya also presents original imaginative creations that shock and soar. Picture a realistically-sized dinosaur made of Legos. We spent quite a bit of time admiring Sawaya’s work before reluctantly leaving the exhibit to explore the science center’s main floor. And here’s where it got interesting. I expected the “kids” to like the Art of the Brick, which they did, but was unprepared for them to go crazy over every single science demo in the main science center. Side by side with children half their age, they built structures with blocks, waved through the tornado funnel, peered into microscopes, worked the sand pendulum, studied mirrored images, and generally played with everything they could get close to. They could have stayed there all night – which by the way the Fleet allows participants to do on various dates. The Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park has a number of events on the calendar that anyone with children – no matter the age – should check out. The Art of the Brick exhibit [http://www.rhfleet.org/ exhibitions/art-brick] ends Jan. 29 (go now!). Coming Jan. 21 is “The Secret Science of Toys” Festival which will disclose the science behind such classic toys as the Slinky and Yo-Yo.

www.encinitasadvocate.com On Jan. 25 and 26, the Fleet features a High Tech Fair for students in grades 7-12. The fair is a collaboration between business and education, and offers students the chance to experience real science applications and interact with scientists and businesses involved in STEM-related work. Regular programs include a tour of the solar system presented by the Fleet’s astronomer on the first Wednesday evening of each month. For general information on upcoming events at the Fleet Science Center, including the IMAX theater offerings, go to http://www.rhfleet.org/. Balboa Park is San Diego’s Crown Jewel (besides the beaches), and the Fleet isn’t the only place there to take your grown kids to see them revert back to their childhoods. With both my college boys home over the break, I reminisced back to the time when they were little and we frequently visited the San Diego Zoo. So why not do it again? They heartily agreed. Walking through the zoo at Christmas time was a wondrous sight. And the animals obliged by being (mostly) lively and engaging. We were particularly enthralled by the animal buddies, a dog and a cheetah active and interacting with one another. That two natural enemies could be paired together at a young age and grow to depend upon each other and care for one another made us consider that animals have a lot to teach humans. Revisiting Harry Potter When the kids are home, not a lot of work gets done – except continually stocking the refrigerator and doing laundry. So, giving in to being child-focused once again, I spent free time reading and re-reading children’s books. Returning to my happy place – that magical time when Harry Potter

entered our lives back in 1998 – I read the official eighth book of the Potter series, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts I and II. Although it’s a script, written for a play that premiered in London last summer, it was still a captivating journey back in time when my kids – everyone’s kids – were spellbound with Pottermania. The story takes place 19 years after the defeat of Voldemort. Harry is married to Ginny Weasley and they have three children. Hermione and Ron are married with two children. I’m still adjusting to those plot developments, remembering little Rupert Grint portraying the adorable red-headed Ron Weasley in the Potter movies. This eighth story is pure J.K. Rowling magic. But because it’s a script for a play, it lacks the wonderful character development that Rowling gave to her stars in the first seven books. To fill in the gaps, readers must use their imaginations, which isn’t that hard to do for devoted fans of the series. Ironically, as I was reading the book, the kids were re-watching the Potter movies. I wonder if they were doing exactly what I was doing – remembering the time nearly 20 years ago when they were small and magic was real. It was a time when a stick became a wand, when Alohomora and Accio were real words in their vocabularies, when hexes, spells, potions and charms opened young minds to the powers of imagination and the thrill of fantasy literature. And so, the children grow up as they are supposed to do. But they come back now and then, and we get to relive precious moments that seem to have slipped away far too quickly.

A variety of upcoming events presented by San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy With a guiding eye, naturalists can point out who the little peeping birds are that flock at the shoreline in a Low Tide Tour. Wings Over Wetlands Family Discovery Day spotlights the long journeys of birds through interactive events. These discoveries, and more, are part of a new lineup of winter tours and events, presented by San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. Everyone can explore the outdoors through fitness, nature discovery, and arts and culture. Here’s a preview of early 2017: #loveyourlagoon Photo Contest: Now through March 31 How do you love your lagoon?

FROM CANCER, A2 then prepare it for the radiation to be focused on the tissue,” Olson said. “Really, it’s very much the same that we’ve been doing for years. There are actually probably fewer radiation side effects with this treatment.” Wilde said damage to surrounding tissue is greater with whole breast radiation, though even that is very safe. “I think it’s very important to remind patients if they aren’t suitable candidates for this kind of treatment and they are getting radiation to their whole breast, the risks of that are very low,” she said. “We don’t want to send a message out that patients who have the regular treatment are at high risk. It’s just that this newer treatment is an even lower risk than the already low-risk traditional treatment. It’s also radiation that’s given while the area is open, so it doesn’t have to go through the skin. You don’t get any damage to the skin.” The treatment can also be less expensive for patients. The one-time procedure can cost insurance companies $4,100 while the traditional whole-breast radiation can cost about $28,000 because of the multiple visits, Shimizu said.

Older technology is more expensive than the Mobetron, Wilde added. “For once, more advanced technology has really decreased the cost of the care,” Wilde said. “This technique is not going to generate as much revenue for the hospital, so there are places across the country that won’t implement this technology for these financial reasons. I admire Scripps so much for being willing to give up the financially lucrative type of radiation for the appropriately selected patient for this type of radiation, which is not going to make the hospital the kind of money that the other kind makes.” Geckeler said she was relieved to be done with her treatments. She said she has encouraged her three adult daughters to get routine breast exams. “Knowing that at my age this option was available to me, I can’t imagine what’s going to be available to them in the event that they have to go through this,” she said. “[Cancer] is all around you. To be a light amongst that darkness is pretty darn good. ... For me, it was a relief knowing that it was over and that I could get off the merry-go-round.”

Now, Brighton has her eyes set on an even bigger feat — the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which will be the first time skateboarding will be included in the worldwide event. “I’m really excited and looking forward to it,” Brighton said. “It’s really exciting and great exposure for skateboarding, especially for girls.” Brighton’s mother, Bridget Zeuner, said she hopes the competition would mean more exposure for female skateboarders. Outside practicing and competitions, Brighton — who splits her education time between a flexible charter school and tutoring

— said she’s a typical “girly girl” who likes hanging out with her friends and going shopping. She also enjoys archery and art. Bridget Zeuner said she is proud of her daughter and surprised with how far she has already gone. She added Brighton has also picked up business skills like running meetings and organizing her busy schedule. “She wanted to do a contest with her brother when she was 8 and we were really nervous about putting our little girl in with mostly boys,” Bridget Zeuner said. “We just told her to memorize a little mini- ramp routine but she was on it. We saw what a fierce competitor she was. We don’t get nervous about it anymore. Girls will surprise you.”

She said she was nervous the day before the competition, but became focused and determined when she heard the crowd cheering. Knowing the competition also made the event less intimidating, she said. “I’ve been competing with all these women for quite a long time,” she said. “It was a fun experience.” She’s also the youngest female

The Hazards of Binge Exercising after the Holidays January is ﬁlled with people resolving to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. In fact, many gyms make most of their money between January and February on new memberships (and often see a 40%-80% drop in attendance by March). Frequently, though, people are so preoccupied with numbers and sizes—dropping those 5-15 holiday pounds, for example—that they only focus on short-term results for what really should be a long-term solution. The truth is that ﬁtness is a lifestyle and not something that should be a binge activity. Why? Binge exercising can actually be harmful to your vein and heart health. Other hazards of binge exercising are an increased

chance of sustaining injury, especially when coming off a stretch of inactivity. Does this sound familiar? You resolve to get in shape, so you join a fitness boot camp. They have a plan that gives you some kind of rebate if you lose a certain amount of weight in the first week. You are pushed to binge exercise (and binge diet). The problem? Sudden bursts of extended (binge) exercising are hard on your muscles, which haven’t been trained slowly to be in shape. The same problem is true for people who set a goal to run a marathon for the first time. You don’t become a marathon runner to get in shape; you have to train slowly, over a period of time, to build up to becoming a marathon runner. You can’t binge exercise over a few months to get in shape and be healthy. Binge exercising is like overdosing on exercise. A lot of scientific research has been conducted on the effects of binge exercising on health because of the recent trends in boot camps and marathon and triathlon participation. For most people, workouts should be low impact and should not last for more than 45 minutes at a time in order to be the most

effective with the fewest health hazards. Cardiovascular activity improves the oxygenation in your blood, your body’s ability to detoxify, your endorphin levels, and can boost your immune system, all while getting your heart to pump more efﬁciently through your cardiovascular system. However, binge exercising—heavy activity sustained for considerably more than 45 minutes, not only decreases the rates of these beneﬁts but can actually do harm to your body. For one thing, binge exercising can cause your body to break down your tissues, also known as going into a catabolic state. Your immune system may be weakened, in part because of the release of excessive cortisol, which in some cases can lead to chronic disease. Sustained binge exercising can lead to microscopic tears in your muscles, which won’t heal if binge exercising continues. And working out too late in the day and for too long can lead to insomnia. But the greatest potential threat of binge exercising is the effect it can have on your heart’s health. Remember, the heart is a muscle as well as the center of your vascular system. Overtraining for activities such as

Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/columns

marathons or triathlons can put the heart under extremely high stress. Endurance runners experience greater scarring on the heart tissue (this is especially acute for middle-aged men). Part of the reason for this is that extensive cardiovascular exercise causes high oxidative stress, as well as inflammation—and all of these can potentially trigger cardiac arrest. Recent extensive research even shows notably higher instances in endurance runners of calcified plaque in their arteries, as well as more detectable scar tissue on their heart muscles and decreased right ventricular systolic function. When the heart is repeatedly damaged, the muscle tissue experiences inflammation, which causes the plaque formation in order to plaster the inflamed arteries as protection. That is why recovery time is so important. Cardio exercise is ideal for healthy circulation and heart function, but in moderation. Your muscles and vascular system need time to heal properly between workouts, and binge exercising, for beginners and for seasoned athletes, is not the solution, for either the post-holiday regime or for a long-term healthy athletic lifestyle.

FROM MOSCA, A1 He said some of his favorite accomplishments while serving on the Sierra Madre City Council were helping to approve water system upgrades and playing a role in developing the first park in decades, as well as promoting emergency services. But some of his votes regarding development also caused tension among residents and a recall attempt. Mosca drew negative attention from a local blog — the Sierra Madre Tattler, ran by John Crawford, who unsuccessfully ran against Mosca in the 2010 election — regarding Mosca’s viewpoints on development. Mosca said many people were “under the impression that [he] was anti-growth,” but he did not label himself with a stance. “To say you’re pro-development or anti-development really pigeon-holes you on the city council when you have responsibilities such as the [state-mandated] housing element and accommodating Regional Housing Need Allocation numbers and balancing that with property owners’ rights,” he said. The topic came up when Mosca voted against Measure V, which ultimately passed and allows Sierra Madre residents to vote on the city’s downtown specific plan. Mosca said he voted against it because the plan “said what the city didn’t want but not what the city did want.” A recall effort in 2007 was placed against Mosca, with a petition earning 1,600 signatures and about 150 signatures shy of going to a vote. Residents also spoke against Mosca during public comments at council meetings, often going over the three-minute time limit, which the mayor allowed, Mosca said. He was re-elected in the following election, citing a majority support from the community. “I think that some folks who saw me as basically anti-growth didn’t want me to engage in any discussion about a downtown specific plan,” Mosca said. “I was always of the mind of certainly planning to preserve the community. How do you preserve your community? Change happens, and how do you actually preserve? You preserve by getting out in front and making sure that your zoning laws have your community vision, and any

constraints or rules that you can put in place to encourage that specific vision is a good thing.” Blakespear has said she believes Mosca’s experience in city government and commissions make him an ideal council member. Going forward in Encinitas, Mosca said he wants to address the challenges facing the community. He wants to work with residents to figure out a development plan that will satisfy them as well as state laws after the failure of Measure T in November. “This is a measure that had a tremendous amount of public input over many years, and while it wasn’t perfect, it allowed us to get in compliance with state housing law and also do away with some lawsuits that were draining precious treasure from our general fund that could be used for other purposes,” he said. “I think that’s an important discussion.” Mosca, who said he didn’t run in the November election due to timing conflicts, said his goals for the city revolve around open space, quality of life and environmental sustainability. He said he wants the city to acquire open space and identify parcels that can be preserved and look at connectivity when it comes to trails. He also wants to pay careful attention to the budget and “make sure we’re ahead of the curve on any of the risks that are coming down the line,” including CalPERS changes. He is also an advocate for environmental sustainability. “I’m a big believer that — especially in the next four years — it is our role to really fight the good fight on climate change and make sure we’re reducing and doing as much as possible in terms of energy efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint,” he said. Mosca said he was “honored” to be chosen for the appointment, which has a term ending in November 2018. He said he plans on running in that election. “I’m going to work really hard and focus like a laser on some of the challenges that are facing our community,” he said. “I really do feel like politics is about making a difference and that’s what I’m going to be about. I hope I can earn people’s respect and earn their vote in the future. I hope to really impress people.”

FROM EGAN, A9 staged and choreographed by Egan. The students are busy rehearsing a selection of Broadway’s biggest hits, which they will perform with the Broadway star. Egan will attend rehearsal with the students, and work with them to create an experience that will broaden their educational and artistic experience, and ultimately result in a performance that will be central to the CCA Foundation’s biggest annual fundraiser. The CCA Foundation’s Executive Director, Joanne Couvrette, explained it like this, “Most schools hold their annual fundraisers off-campus, at a hotel or ballroom, adult-only affairs that are both costly and much removed from the students for whom they are fundraising. At CCA, we reject that model in favor of an event that centers on our students and our school.” Couvrette added that, “Our mission statement is to enrich the experience of every student, every day and what better way to do that than to use the gala fundraiser performance as an enrichment experience for our students.” According to gala chairs, Susan Jentzsch and Kimberly McSherry, Susan Egan has been very involved in the planning of the performance portion of

FROM SOUL, A1 Rendezvous in Paris, including selecting the music and working with the chairs to create a musical experience that will be both entertaining to the audience and educational to the students. Susan Egan will also be joining several other Broadway performers to teach a workshop to CCA Envision theater students in early February at the school. Just like Scott Flower from Dolce, the gala after-party host, CCA continues to surround its students with community leaders, merchants and artists that enrich the lives of every student, every day. This year’s CCA Gala Rendezvous in Paris – featuring Susan Egan – will be held on Feb. 25. The event begins at 5 p.m. for dinner and live auction. Show time is 7:30 p.m.; the VIP After-Party follows immediately after the show and features a meet and greet with Susan Egan, dessert and bubbles. Tickets are available at ccagala.com. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. The mission of the foundation is to enrich the experience of every student every day.

lifelong learners, global citizens, helpful adults, successful entrepreneurs and the CEO of their lives.” After last week’s hearing, the board will deliberate and take action on whether to approve or deny SOUL at a special meeting on Thursday, Jan. 19. According to Laura Duzyk, SDCOE assistant superintendent of business services, SOUL’s petition is being evaluated by the county board’s charter review committee on whether it meets education code requirements, whether the education program is sound, and whether the petitioner can demonstratively execute that program. If the appeal is granted, the county board assumes responsibility as the charter authority. If denied, SOUL can submit to the state board. According to Bruyneel and Grimes, SOUL’s mission is to “transform the public education system.” Academics are a combination of experience-based and project-based learning and required electives, including entrepreneurship and essential life skills. All of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and Smarter Balanced Assessment

tests like all public schools. A typical day includes their unique “Integra” program in which students start the day by setting their intentions and meditating, have a midday focus on self-development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Grimes’ vision for the holistic school approach has been guided by the memory of his little brother, a teenager who was gifted academically, thrived in sports and was popular in school but never understood his emotional being or his personal self. Grimes was completing his master’s degree in educational administration when his brother committed suicide at age 17. Grimes said his brother’s death confirmed to him the need to teach to the students’ whole being and the importance of personal development at a young age. The SDUHSD district opted not to provide testimony at the meeting, instead submitting last year’s report on SOUL’s charter petition. The SDUHSD board had a chance to deny or to approve the school with conditions, but SOUL decided to decline the conditional approval option, leaving the board only the option to deny, which it did in October. Per the district’s report, SOUL presented an “unrealistic financial and operational plan”;

noting: “They appear to lack the necessary background in education administration and leadership that is critical to effectively operate a charter school.” The district was looking for a more comprehensive and accurate list of start-up costs, competitive salaries and health benefits, costs of books and supplies and budgeted expenses that account for SOUL’s plan to provide musical instruments and cameras to students, after-school tutoring, and monthly workshops for parent/guardians that are free of charge, such as yoga and cooking classes. In the area of curriculum, the district wanted to see a more comprehensive description of the educational program. SOUL received endorsements at the hearing that differed from SDUHSD’s assessments. Eileen Logue, business director at Charter School Management Corporation, told the SDCOE board she finds SOUL to be fiscally viable and that they are slated to be the recipients of a start-up grant. Jennifer Reiter-Cook, the California Charter Schools Association director of school development for Southern California, said that she could state with confidence that SOUL’s petition is legally-compliant, educationally sound and research-based.
