Progress stalls on Coastal Rail Trail talks BY CHRIS SAUR Much of the discussion at the City Council chambers on July 13 revolved around the proposed Encinitas portion of the Coastal Rail Trail, a 44-mile long system of pedestrian and bicycle trails to be constructed by SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) from San Diego to Oceanside. And while a positive step forward was taken when the City Council picked the roster for a citizen Coastal Mobility and Livability Working Group during the special City Council session that came before the regular meeting, there was little to no progress made during a discussion of a possible Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the city and SANDAG regarding the initial segment (39C) of the rail trail. The segment — which runs along the railroad tracks near Highway 101 between Chesterfield and G Street — has been the source of controversy for more than a year. In May 2015, the council originally selected an alignment on the east side of the tracks, closer to San Elijo Ave, but community feedback and the prospect of lower cost persuaded it to change its mind in March of this year. At that time, the council chose a west-side alignment, closer to Highway 101. Because SANDAG had already put nearly half a million dollars into preparations for an east-side trail, its Transportation Committee ordered a halt to all further progress pending an MOU with the city. With $1 million of the approximately $6 million of rail trail funding coming from a time-sensitive ATP (Active Transportation Program) grant from the state — on which the organization has already received a SEE TRAIL, A16

ore than 50 local residents, including County Supervisor Dave Roberts and Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, gathered at the San Diego County Sheriff’s North Coastal Station in Encinitas during roll call on July 12. Organized by the veterans at American Legion Post 416, the residents wanted to thank the officers and, following the recent shootings in Dallas, show their support for all members of law enforcement. Steve Lewandowski, commander of Post 416, told the officers “You guys have to know, you have a whole lot of support from the veterans community ... you are our brothers and sisters.”

BY CHRIS SAUR ver since longtime Encinitas resident Doug Jones was a teenager in the Bay Area, it has always been his instinct to jump in and help where he saw a need. Back then, going through a rough childhood in San Raphael and then experiencing the unrest that was the late 1960s and early 1970s in that area, jumping in often meant doing something dangerous. Now, the causes Jones, 67, dives into are usually much safer. In the recent past he has served as the district governor for the Y’s Men, the major fundraising arm of the YMCA, among various other community service projects. He is currently active as a co-founder and advisor for the Encinitas Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), as well as the volunteer event organizer and MC for Encinitas Classic Car Cruise Nights.

Sheriff asking for information ‘Pokemon Go’ game goes awry in Encinitas on July 4 fair stabbing San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station are asking for the public’s help to identify and locate a teenager wanted in connection with a stabbing that wounded a man at the San Diego County Fair during the Fourth of July holiday. The stabbing occurred just before 11 p.m. in front of the swing ride which was near the west gate area of the fair. A 22-year-old man was walking with a friend toward the exit when the victim had a fight with a teen. At some point during the fight, the victim was stabbed in his upper body. The suspect and victim do not know each other. The victim survived his injuries. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, between 16 to 17 years old, 5’2” tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds. He was wearing a dark ball cap with the letter “C,” a

white T-shirt, khaki shorts and white socks. The suspect was seen in the company of five other Hispanic men. If you were at the county fair on the 4th of July holiday around the swing area near the west gate, deputies would like to hear from you regarding what you may have seen at the time of the stabbing. If you took photos or videos in this area around the time of the attack, detectives would also want to hear from you. Anyone with information on this case should call the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station at 760-966-3500 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 888-580-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case. Anonymous email and text messages can be sent in via www.sdcrimestoppers.org.

Sheriff: Visit website to claim stolen property The North Coastal Sheriff’s Station is working to return surfboards, golf clubs and other items stolen from across San Diego County. To help these items find their way back to their owners, photos have been posted at www.sdsheriff.net/return. Owners who recognize their items should note the photo number and complete the contact form on the right side of the screen. A deputy will then reach out to them. To claim the item or items, bring a stolen property or

theft report from any law enforcement agency. In the absence of a stolen property report, owners of property can show a photo, proof of insurance, receipt or information such as a serial number to prove the items belong to them. The search for suspects is ongoing and anyone with information about stolen property is asked to call the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 888-580-8477. A reward of up to $1,000 will be given for information that leads to a felony arrest.

Two males end up in hospital with moderate injuries Two males were transported to Scripps La Jolla Trauma Center with moderate injuries on July 13 after Encinitas lifeguards saw one them fall off of the beachside bluff around E. Street. Just after 1 p.m., a couple of emergency response vehicles from Encinitas Fire and AMR (American Medical Response) arrived to find

one male on the beach and another on the bluff below E Street. The fall patient was treated, while the second male was extricated to the top of the bluff using ropes and harnesses. According to sheriff deputies, the two patients were playing the cell phone video game “Pokemon Go” and went over the side trying to claim “prizes.” Fire department personnel also had to cut a portion of the nearby fence to gain access to the patients.

Man arrested for assault with a deadly weapon at Home Depot North Coastal Sheriff deputies arrested a 34-year-old man and charged him with assault with a deadly weapon after a bizarre scene at Home Depot at 1001 N. El Camino Real in Encinitas on July 8. Deputies responded to reports of a subject driving recklessly at very high speed in the parking lot, and witnesses reported the subject had attacked a Home Depot employee with a knife. The subject had allegedly thrown a folding blade knife at an employee who was watering plants outside the garden center portion of the

store. The knife entered the employee’s leg causing a minor wound with bleeding. An off-duty paramedic was on scene and provided medical aid to the victim. Responding deputies contacted the suspect, Sean Burton, inside the store where he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Burton was charged and taken to the Vista Detention Facility. The victim was treated and released from Scripps La Jolla with a minor wound to his upper leg. – Submitted press release

Summer program aims to help Encinitas EL students BY CHRIS SAUR The specific skills and interest of some key Encinitas Union School District officials combined with a dash of federal funding has resulted in the reemergence of a vital program for the district’s English Language Learners (EL). The EL Summer Intervention Program is serving nearly 120 kids in grades 1-6 this month at Paul Ecke Central Elementary. There are about 500 EL students in the EUSD, which is about 10 percent of the student population. Summer Intervention is one of several EUSD programs aimed to help an EL population that has decreased in the past few decades, but should not be overlooked, says trustee Patricia Sinay. “As an immigrant from Mexico, born to a Peruvian mom and an Argentine dad, I was an English Learner when I started kindergarten. Looking back to those early school years, I now, as an educator, better understand what my challenges were and how my teachers and schools missed so many opportunities to improve my learning,” Sinay explained. “In a district like ours that is very successful, it could be easy for EL and other students with unique challenges to be overlooked. I chose to be on the school board to ensure that all students had equal access to achieve to the best of their ability. “In Encinitas, we have parents who care, teachers and administrators who excel, and resources to invest to make it possible for all students to enjoy learning and strive for success.”

EL Summer Intervention Program teacher Kami Cottrell works with her class of fifth and sixth graders. The program serves about 120 English Languague Learners at Paul Ecke Central Elementary. One of those administrators is Isabel Silva, the Coordinator of Curriculum and Accountability Educational Services, who was able to push the EL Summer program over the final hurdles. Silva, who came to EUSD before the school year, was uniquely qualified to help make the program happen after running and organizing similar programs as part of her previous job in Solana Beach. “They haven’t had a summer program in about eight years because of funding,” Silva said. “We now have a few federal dollars … and it was decided by our leadership team — our school principals, our management in different departments and our school board

— to provide this experience once again to all of our English Learner families … so that they can continue to build their academic skills in addition to their language proficiency.” Those dollars came from a Title III grant, which provides funding for EL specific programs. That funding has allowed for nine teachers from all over the district, each of whom has a small class size of 12-16 students. In each class, time is spent on an English Language Development curriculum, a software program that is used regularly during the school year as well and then concentrated, targeted instruction in reading and writing. “When you have 12 kids, your availability

(as a teacher) to personalize instruction is greater,” Silva said. “Many of these students not only have deficiencies and gaps in language development, but because of that, are grade levels behind in reading or writing. That’s why this program is really helpful for them.” The EL Summer Intervention staff also includes a general education resource teacher, who can support the other nine teachers in many different ways, including the always crucial tech support. In addition, the program has its own principal, an office manager and a devoted custodian. Another program through which EUSD helps its low-income families, many of which have kids that fall into the EL category, is Connect2Compete. For this program, the district is working alongside Cox Communications, and some other service providers, to provide Wifi service to these families at the discounted rate of $10 per month. In addition, these families are given a refurbished desktop computer for free. After 100 families received the discounted rate and computer last year, 58 more were hooked up in June. This is an ongoing effort, however, as there are some 275 families that have reported that they aren’t able to get Wifi service through Cox. The district is working with Time Warner and AT&T to see if those gaps can be filled. “We are a one-to-one program district, so all of our kids K-6 have iPads. The only unfortunate thing is everyone doesn’t have service at home,” Silva said. “So we want to make sure everyone gets that opportunity.”

Movie to be based on local man’s real-life experience Iszak and six others hijacked a plane in 1956 to escape the Iron Curtain BY CHRIS SAUR This movie won’t need Marvel or Jerry Bruckheimer to make it action-packed, the story of one local resident has more than enough pulse-quickening drama. “Freedom Flight,” the story of then 25-year-old Frank Iszak and his six young companions hijacking a twin-engine airplane to escape the communist terror of 1956, has completed the development phase and is now just waiting for a final round of funding. If you can’t wait for the movie — which is being made by Hungarian award-winning director Endre Hules and is set to feature Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) and David Kross (The Reader, War Horse) in starring roles — Iszak will be at Warwick’s in La Jolla, 7812 Girard Ave., on July 17 from 12-2 p.m. signing copies of his book, “Freedom Flight: A True Account of the Cold War’s Greatest Escape” on which the movie is based. Iszak, 85, who owns and teaches yoga at Rhythm Yoga and Dance in Rancho Santa Fe, had originally self-published the book in 2011 and the signing at Warwick’s is his first since the book’s March 29 release through Morgan James Publishing. As for the film, Iszak — who is working as a technical adviser — says details like finding locations, adapting the screenplay, securing crew, getting actors and procuring the DC-3 airplane and fighter jets have been completed thanks to an initial round of funding and tireless work by Hules. They expect to finish fundraising and be greenlit within the year. Filming in Hungary, Iszak added, not only adds to the realism of the story but saves the production money thanks to the government giving a tax break and an additional rebate from a film fund. Realism is important because the story itself defies belief. Iszak and his partners that rainy afternoon almost exactly 60 years ago (July 13, 1956) got on the plane with no weapons and no idea if it had enough fuel to take them to West Germany, where they could claim asylum. If they landed somewhere in Hungary or any of the other surrounding countries, they would have likely been tortured and certainly been executed. But though the odds were definitely stacked against this rag-tag group, they actually had some incredible luck on their side. A series of crazy coincidences, along with a ton of bravery, aided the seven

The story, however, starts years earlier. Following World War II, Hungary attempted at least two democratic elections, but eventually found itself under communist rule by Stalinists, including Matyas Rakoski, who Iszak called “even worse than Stalin.” Over the next few years, different factions within the communist party alternated power and, during one such exchange of power, Iszak, a journalist in the city of Pecs, was sent to a forced labor camp. He was able to escape, then moved to Budapest where, as a fugitive, he moved from job to job often, ending up in a cement factory, where he met George, another fugitive and a former fighter pilot in the Hungarian Army. George was also a boxer, as was Iszak, and the pair along with five others, including Iszak’s wife at the time, Emese, formed a boxing team which eventually served as their cover to actually get on the plane — setting up a boxing competition at a city in western Hungary. It had to be a domestic airline because the KGB would have stopped them right away trying to board an international flight. It was even dicey to get on a domestic flight, and there would be an undercover KGB agent on board, but the group’s first stroke of luck came when they weren’t even questioned boarding the plane. Iszak returned to Hungary in 2006 and spent hours researching in the national archives to add context to the story, and one of his revelations was that on the very same day they had chosen to hijack the plane, a high-ranking politician from the Soviet Union was in the country to facility the removal of one of the Hungarian leaders. That meant that nearly the entire Hungarian SEE ESCAPE, A16

Encinitas National 11’s edge ELL to reach D31 finals ENLL run ends in championship contest BY CHRIS SAUR Other than champion Del Mar American, the teams from Encinitas and Encinitas National Little League played the longest in the Little League District 31 9/10/11 All-star tournament, which wrapped up July 8 when DALL knocked off ENLL in the title game. That 13-2 decision came two days after a memorable all-Encinitas matchup in the semifinals, which ended with ENLL on top, 7-5. In that contest, ELL took an early 3-0 lead behind strong pitching from Brendan Alvarez and the big bat of David Pinto. But in the third inning, Encinitas National slugger Jake Paul blasted his third home run of the tournament, putting his team on the scoreboard and waking them up in the process. “We kind of had our backs against the ropes but then we rallied around that home run,” said ENLL skipper Kelly Kline. “In a couple of our games, especially against Encinitas, it was all about us gelling as a team and picking each other up.” Still losing 4-1 an inning later, Encinitas National began to chip away, eventually taking over the lead in the fifth thanks to clutch hits from Rece Vance and Taylor Butterstein. After Braeden Holland started the game for ENLL, Paul took the mound in the second to

With his team now in the lead, Butterstein came on to shut the door on ELL. The victory sent Encinitas National to the tournament title game, where it faced a Del Mar American squad that it had lost to a few days earlier. It was fitting that the two teams collided in the championship contest, as they had

met in the D31 10-year-old tourney finals last season, with ENLL coming out on top. In this year’s tournament, Encinitas National also posted wins over Valley Center (8-5) and Carmel Mountain Ranch (13-8). Against VCLL, home runs by Theo Lewis and Paul keyed the ENLL comeback. “We had spotted them a couple-run lead early on, and when Theo hit his home run it

was one of those light-switch moments,” Kline explained. “Next thing you know, we started cranking out a bunch of hits. We took off like a rocket and never looked back.” That rocket ship blazed all the way to the championship game, surpassing the expectations of the Encinitas National coaching staff. “We were pleasantly surprised to be in the championship game without a No. 1 or even a No. 2 pitcher on the roster,” Kline said. “It took a good team effort, everyone working together to make that happen.” Carson Tanner threw some good innings as part of that pitcher-by-committee approach and catcher Jacob Carman was a huge part of ENLL’s success.

Drugs, sharps collection boxes installed at Encinitas Sheriff Station

La Jolla Cultural Partners

The North Coastal Sheriff Substation at 175 N. El Camino Real has installed a drop box for needles, syringes and lancets, as well as one of the several prescription drug collection boxes located throughout the county. The drop box is a sturdy, metal bin, which is accessible 24 hours a day at the entrance to the station, while the drug collection box is accessible from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The new sharps collection box in Encinitas is for home sharps only. They should be placed in a rigid container, like an old bleach bottle or coffee can, that is no larger than a half-gallon. Old needles can hurt people and spread serious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and tetanus. Overseen by the Department of Environmental Health, Encinitas is one of 13 locations where the county collects sharps. “It’s against the law and dangerous to dispose of sharps in the trash. We want to make it easy for residents to get rid of sharps safely,” County Supervisor Dave Roberts said in a news release. “Our residents do a great job recycling, composting and putting medical waste where it belongs. The sharps collection boxes are a great resource.”

Humane Society distributes 19 tons of puppy food Rancho Coastal Humane Society received the largest pet food donation in its 56-year history when 48 pallets of Nature’s Recipe Puppy Food were delivered on July 8. The 19 tons of puppy food was immediately distributed to animal rescue groups throughout California. “This donation should provide more than 100,000 meals for puppies in San Diego and surrounding counties,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. After the pallets were unloaded, a process that took nearly 90 minutes at the Humane Education Parking Lot, registered nonprofit animal rescue groups picked up the 38,625 pounds of donated food. The Nature’s Recipe puppy food is being donated through the Rescue Bank, operated by Greater Good.org, a nonprofit organization that supports animal rescue and rehabilitation groups by providing services and supplies. “There are about 200 rescue groups in San Diego County,” Silveira said. “All of the animals under their care deserve proper treatment and nutrition.

Community can hear, give input on initial Parks Plan recommendations at meeting Continuing with its plan to seek public input during every step of the development of its Parks, Beaches and Trails Master Plan, the city of Encinitas Parks and Recreation Department invites residents to a community workshop on July 18. Running from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, the meeting will feature the unveiling of the city’s initial recommendations, then small group discussions with each table reporting its conclusions to the whole group. “Community input is an essential part of the Parks Master Plan process,” said Jennifer Campbell, Encinitas Director of Parks and Recreation. “The workshop is an excellent opportunity for residents to hear the initial recommendations of the plan and provide comments so that the plan meets the needs of our vibrant community.”

The city has worked with its consultant, GreenPlay LLC, which has worked with city staff to update its inventory of beaches, parks, trails, open space and facilities, met with numerous community groups and leaders and completed a comprehensive community survey. Then, on June 20, the first of two community workshops was held to report survey results. Following the July 18 workshop, those results and the initial recommendations will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission at its open public meeting the next day. The final recommendations for the Parks Master Plan are expected to be presented to the City Council and its advisory boards this fall. For more information on the Parks and Recreation Department and the master plan development process, visit www.EncinitasParksandRec.com/MasterPlan.

Encinitas surfers excel at national championships A trio of young Encinitas surfers — including two brothers — won titles and earned awards at the recent National Scholastic Surfing Association National Open Championships. Competing at the Huntington Beach Pier from June 28 through July 3, Jake Marshall and Levi Slawson each finished first in their respective divisions, while Jake’s younger brother Nick Marshall was crowned the National Junior Airshow

Doctor-turned-patient shares personal battle with lung cancer Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s “Day at the Races” set for July 24 at Del Mar Fairgrounds

BY KRISTINA HOUCK r. Michael Weitz didn’t know if he would be able to celebrate his 50th birthday. At 49 years old, he was diagnosed with lung cancer and given months to live. “I never dreamed I would have lung cancer,” said Weitz, a Woodland Hills resident who has served as the associate director of the Emergency Department at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica since 1994. Despite being a doctor, Weitz, like a lot of people, associated lung cancer with smokers. And he had never smoked. In an effort to help educate the public, raise awareness and spread hope, Weitz shared his story ahead of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s seventh annual “Day at the Races” July 24 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “I try to give people hope back,” he said. In 2006, Weitz realized something was wrong when he started getting chest discomfort every time he swallowed cold liquids. He immediately received tests and x-rays, followed by a cat scan and a bronchoscopy, which is what determined his diagnosis. Weitz had stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer and was told he had three to six months to live. “It was very much a surprise,” Weitz said. “Once you get that diagnosis, your world gets turned upside down in the

Weitz and his family near the time of his diagnosis. blink of an eye.” Weitz soon underwent chemotherapy, followed by radiation. After several months of treatments, he had surgery to remove his entire left lung. “Initially, it was pretty rough,” Weitz said about the recovery period. He experienced trouble breathing, walking and shortness of breath, which forced him to be put on oxygen.

“Little by little I was able to walk outside the house. Fifty yards became 100, 100 yards became 200,” Dr. Weitz said. “I continued to improve.” He continued treatment and received targeted therapy drugs that would work for a while, but eventually his body developed a resistance to them. Doctors thought that Weitz might have a mutation called the Epidermal Growth

Factor Receptor (EGFR). And initially, Weitz responded to the testing and was given the drug Tarceva, which he took for a little over a year. Although Weitz’s condition was stable after treatment, the cancer eventually spread to his bones and his brain. Weitz assumed he might have one or two metastatic lesions, but doctors discovered he had too many metastatic lesions to even count. “It was devastating,” he said. Now resistant to Tarceva, Weitz went on another clinical trial with a c-met inhibitor drug called Arqule 197 to help overcome this resistance. It only worked for a year. Weitz was running out of options around the time his mother saw a news report about a lung cancer patient who had the rare anaplastic lymphoma kinase mutation. The patient was given a new drug developed for ALK mutation and, within weeks, saw a significant reduction in his tumors. After sharing the news story with his oncologist, Weitz’s archived lung cancer tissue was tested. “At that time, there was only one center in the country doing the testing and that was Massachusetts General Hospital,” he explained. “They were very understaffed and not supported in terms of even being able to generate a report.” SEE CANCER, A17

Pacific Ridge School Club shares love of science with students near and far BY STACEY PHILLIPS Mystic sand, green slime and dry ice were all part of a science exploration day recently provided by students at Pacific Ridge School for kindergarteners at Cardiff Elementary. With the support and encouragement from their high school, the teens are hoping to share their love of science with students both locally and globally. The classmates are all members of a service learning club at the Carlsbad private school named Educating Near and Far, which focuses on planning STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) workshops for children. In addition to reaching out to local elementary schools with the intent of sparking an interest in science, they also hope to raise enough money to build a school in Nicaragua. To help achieve this goal, they formed a partnership with the nonprofit organization, Free the Children, and hold fundraising activities throughout the year. “It’s important for kids to be exposed to science,” said Taite Jorgensen, one of the co-founders of the service learning group and a resident of Rancho Santa Fe. “During our visit to Cardiff Elementary, it was rewarding to see how interested the students were in what we showed them and how they tried to understand seemingly complicated concepts at such a young age.” “We hope that the kids walk away from our lessons more intrigued in STEM and possibly go forward to pursue a job in the field,” said Ava Embry, who lives in Carlsbad and is also a co-founder of Educating Near and Far. “We know that kindergartners aren’t going home from school to think about future college majors, but if our lessons persuade kids to think about science and math as fun rather than taxing and difficult, we have done our job.” The high school students demonstrated

scientific concepts to the kindergarteners in small groups and one-on-one. “Having the high school students come in sparked an interest in science for the students that could not have been equaled any other way,” said Christa Stone, who teaches the kindergarten class. “They were able to see that learning happens throughout life, and that it is fun to learn in many ways.” Jorgensen and Embry, both juniors at Pacific Ridge, initiated the service learning group as freshman. Over the past two years, it has grown to include 14 members, including nine juniors, two sophomores and four freshmen. During their weekly meetings, the classmates collaborate to plan meaningful experiences for elementary school students. They also coordinate fundraisers, such as selling T-shirts, to further their goal of raising money to help build a school in Nicaragua. Service learning is part of Pacific Ridge School’s curriculum and the Educating Near and Far service learning group is just one of over 30 at the school. The intent is to integrate meaningful community service with instruction and reflection. “Everyone should feel that they have contributed to the wellbeing of the community in some way,” said Embry. “Learning about leadership and creating connections within our community are really important for the success of our future endeavors in life.” The service learning group plans to continue reaching out to local schools interested in having them demonstrate science experiments for their students. “We believe that every student deserves a chance of exposure to science,” said Jorgensen. “This gives them to the opportunity to fall in love with learning science like a lot of members of our group have.”

CCA graduate Cameron Chang shines at Jimmy Awards After winning Ben Vereen Awards event, he was top six finalist on Broadway BY KAREN BILLING Recent Canyon Crest Academy graduate Cameron Chang recently took the Broadway stage to perform in the 2016 National High School Musical Theatre Awards, known as the Jimmy Awards. The award show hosted by Tony Award nominated performer Zachary Levi featured 62 high school finalists from across the country at The Minskoff Theatre. As a top six finalist, Cameron won a $2,500 scholarship. Cameron made it to Broadway by winning San Diego’s Ben Vereen Awards event on the strength of his performance as Aldolpho in CCA’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The comedic character of Aldolpho in the play is a self-described “Latin Lothario” who thinks he is very seductive but is actually a “complete buffoon.” “It’s definitely the most

fun I’ve ever had on stage, playing that part,” Cameron said. For 10 intensive days in New York leading up to the show, Cameron was out of his “San Diego theater bubble,” singing and dancing on the same Broadway stage where “The Lion King” is performed, with some of the country’s brightest young talents. The moment was hard to process at the time but looking back after a whirlwind on the Great White Way, he finds himself saying “Wow, that actually happened.” Cameron got his start in theater at age 7, performing in a second grade class play. His parents were encouraged by others to have him try out for youth theater productions — he auditioned and won his first role in “Rumpelstiltskin is My Name” with the J* Company. He performed with J* Company for the last 10 years and has performed

Cameron Chang as Aldolpho in CCA’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone.” with San Diego Junior Theatre and California Youth Conservatory in addition to his shows at CCA, where he was in the Envision Theatre Conservatory. At the Ben Vereen Awards

event on May 30, Cameron was judged the best out of 20 finalists in San Diego. “I was completely flabbergasted, especially for that kind of role,” Cameron said. “It was a really rewarding moment because I felt like all of the hard work over the years really paid off.” Cameron said he had such a great time working with all of the Ben Vereen Awards event nominees, including fellow CCA student Samantha Tullie. “It was such a wonderful experience, everyone was so cool and nice and funny and we goofed off probably more than we should have,” Cameron said. “Winning the award was just the cherry on top of the sundae.” Before heading off to New York, Cameron also got the opportunity to sing “The National Anthem” at the Padres game on June 1 with female Ben Vereen Awards event winner Jazley Genovese. The 62 Jimmy Award finalists prepared for the award show over 10 days at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. The finalists performed together as a group in the opening number. The medley included some songs new to Cameron from this season’s Broadway shows, such as “Shuffle Along,” “She Loves Me” and “Waitress.” Others in the number, like songs from the hit “Hamilton,”

2016 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THEATRE AWARDS

CCA graduate Cameron Chang recently performed on the Broadway stage of the Minskoff Theatre at the 2016 National High School Musical Theatre Awards, known as the Jimmy Awards. Photo by Henry McGee “Aladdin” and “Lion King,” he knew quite well. It was a little bit stressful to learn all the new songs in such a short rehearsal time, but he said everyone was in the same boat and the focus was always on making it fun. “Everybody realized that we were in New York City, performing on a Broadway stage,” Cameron said. “Not many people can say they’ve done that.” Cameron also performed in a smaller medley group that featured snippets from each contestants’ nominated role. Judging had started in preliminary rounds and the eight finalists found out

they were the top at the same time as the audience did. All had prepared a solo in the event they were in the top eight and Cameron was the first to perform. “I had a minute, really no prep time,” Cameron said. “It was definitely a raw and fresh performance.” Cameron chose to sing “Disneyland” from the musical “Smile.” He made a point to pick an emotional song that was “sad and sweet,” a good contrast from his earlier comedic solo as Aldolpho. As part of the Jimmy experience, all of the students got to see the Broadway show “On Your Feet!” and after the awards show, Cameron and his family went to see “The Color Purple.” Cameron is currently taking a break from the stage before he heads off to college this fall. He will attend Otterbein University in Ohio, to get his bachelor of fine arts degree in musical theater and minor in film studies. Sharing the stage with 62 kids from all over the country at the Jimmy’s was an experience he will never forget. “On the first day we all sang our solos for the director and it was really amazing to hear everybody,” Cameron said. “It gives you hope for the future of musical theater because there’s so much talent out there.”

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

What Proﬁle? When Spider Veins Happen to Young People Spider veins—the bane of elderly women, or so the myth goes. But the truth is that anyone can get spider veins, including younger women and even men. So what are they, exactly? Spider veins aren’t quite the same thing as varicose veins, which are the more dilated and ropelike veins under the skin and which can be quite painful (and possibly harmful to the health if left untreated). Instead, spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. There are many reasons people get spider veins—they are caused by increased pressure on the veins. As we age, our venous walls weaken and then blood can pool (the

typical cause of varicose veins, for example). But what about in younger people? Most commonly, spider veins are associated with pregnancy, as the body undergoes a tremendous amount of pressure. But who else is at risk? Similarly, people who are obese are more prone to them as their blood vessels are also under greater pressure, as the body has to work hard to circulate the blood up from the feet and to the heart. But the truth is that perfectly healthy and even ﬁt people can get these pesky veins. Young athletes are often prone to them, especially behind the knees, as their strenuous workouts will elevate the blood pressure, and their legs often take a pounding. Spider veins appear when the body’s vascular system is under stress. The extra pressure in the veins makes them bulge and expand. In fact, even though they may be unsightly, they are quite normal. For some people, spider veins are genetic, which means nothing you can do can truly prevent them from occurring, and they can show up at any time. It’s part of your makeup. And if your parent had spider veins as a teenager, there is a good chance you will, too.

The appearance of spider veins is not something that should worry you, and in general, there are no health risks associated. However, there are some very rare cases of genetic conditions that can cause spider veins to appear in multiple patches on the arms and torso, so if you spot these, have them checked out just to be safe. It’s always good to have any type of venous condition on your medical record, and you’ll always want to know of any genetic predisposition that can lead to something more harmful than a cluster of dark veins. But you shouldn’t live in fear of spider veins; in most of the cases, they are completely benign. You should be aware, though, that they won’t go away on their own. To actually remove spider veins, you will need to undergo the very simple laser therapy. When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by your tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the ofﬁce on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after track practice or yoga class. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the

treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel. The difference with laser therapy is that after treatment, you should avoid sun exposure for up to ten days to prevent a browning or discoloration of the skin. As with any laser treatment to the skin, there may be a small amount of spotting that appears in the area of treatment, but this will go away in a short amount of time and is nothing you should worry about. Be aware, though, that once you’ve gotten spider veins, they are likely to return, especially if you continue the same activities that caused them in the first place. If your veins are prone to swelling and bulging when under pressure, the rest of your veins will continue to do so; treatment is not a cure or prevention. For some people, spider veins can cause insecurity—they aren’t called “butterfly veins,” after all—and there is nothing wrong with wanting them removed. The key with laser therapy—as with every treatment—is to choose a doctor or specialist who is board-certified and experienced in the procedure.

FROM TRAIL, A1 20-month extension — and its view that Encinitas hasn’t sufficiently gotten the go-ahead from other involved parties like the California Coastal Commission, SANDAG wants an MOU that makes the city liable for loss of the $1 million grant if that go-ahead takes too much time to nail down. While none of the city council members were agreeable to that portion of the MOU in the first place, another complication arose following a July 12 meeting between city and SANDAG staff, staff members from the Coastal Commission and San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox, a Coastal Commissioner. City and SANDAG staff presented the west-side alignment and heard concerns from the Coastal Commission staff about the consistency of that alignment with the North Coast Corridor’s Public Works Plan (PWP), which was adopted in 2014. Specifically, that plan stated that there would have to be a “safety, environmental or physical reason” to move section 39C of the rail trail from the east to the west side of the tracks. The Coastal Commission had an additional traffic concern as well. This left the City Council and SANDAG with a couple of options, none of which appealed to any of the councilmembers. After nearly an hour of discussion, the council’s consensus was to wait until a Friday morning meeting of SANDAG’s Transportation Commission, during which Encinitas Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer will present the city’s case against taking the $1 million of financial liability, as well as continue working with the Coastal Commission and getting feedback from the community via the Coastal Mobility and Livability Working Group. Shaffer and some of her colleagues did emphasize one ray of hope that came out of the July 12 meeting with the Coastal Commission. While staff was forceful in its concerns about a west-side rail trail alignment being inconsistent with language in the PWP, commissioner Cox was more positive, leading council members to believe that the Coastal Commission could rule in favor of allowing a west-side alignment, should Encinitas (and SANDAG) decide to go forward with that plan.

Foundation sponsoring golf event to benefit vets The Blue Angels Foundation is sponsoring a two-day golf event to support wounded veterans. The 17th Annual Blue Angels Foundation Classic, to be held Sept. 23 to 25, will be hosted by Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, and will include a round of golf at Del Mar Country Club. There are still sponsorship opportunities and foursomes for individuals and companies who would like to participate. “The Blue Angels Foundation is committed to helping wounded veterans and those suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)” said Mike Campbell, President of the Blue Angels Foundation. “This event is a great opportunity for San Diegans to show how thankful they are for the service of the many wounded veterans in the community. It’s a chance to get to know these heroes better and help give them the quality of life they deserve.”

The primary beneficiaries of the Blue Angels Foundation Classic are the Warrior Foundation ~ Freedom Station and the Research and Recognition Project. Freedom Station is a unique recovery transition center and housing facility here in San Diego that provides injured veterans with the acclimation time, guidance and resources to successfully make the transition from military service to civilian life. Research and Recognition Project is a national study focused on finding a drug-free resolution to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Guests at this year’s Blue Angels Foundation Classic will play two iconic San Diego area courses during the event, including the beautiful and challenging Park Hyatt Aviara Golf Club and the private championship course at the Del Mar Country Club. For those who’d like to help raise money for wounded veterans but are not golfers, the event will

also feature a half-day tennis clinic and a fun, social round-robin tournament to practice skills learned during the clinic. Throughout the weekend, guests will enjoy golf, tennis, cuisine, and the luxury of the world-class Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, while also making an important contribution to supporting wounded veterans. After the opening evening’s happy hour and welcome dinner, guests will be entertained by the incomparable musings of comedian/actor/writer Lenny Clarke, known for his stand-up comedy and roles on Denis Leary’s FX TV show “Rescue Me” and Chelsea Handler’s NBC sitcom “Are You There Chelsea?” For more information on the 17th Annual Blue Angels Foundation Classic, to register a foursome or become a sponsor, visit www.blueangelsfoundation.org or call 617-529-7258.

FROM JONES, A1

“When the city was done with (the one-time FEMA-sponsored CERT) academy ... I had enough sense to know that if you learn these skills and don’t practice them, they are gone in six months,” Jones continued. “We only have 53 first responders in a city of 60,000. You get more people that are at least somewhat, limitedly prepared, who can look out for themselves, people at their work, their family, it’s just better odds. “After going through the academy, everyone is just a little more heads-up about everything around them. And that’s always a good thing.” So in 2008, Jones teamed with several other local residents to create the nonprofit organization Encinitas CERT, which provides opportunities for those that went through the original academy to maintain and build on those skills, while also reaching out to even more members of the community. Jones estimates that around 175 people who live or work in Encinitas have been completely through the academy and 200 more have been through at least part of it. Those people and any other interested residents can stay sharp with their training or get introduced to some of the concepts through CERT’s “Are you ready?” Encinitas programs. These one-hour events gather small groups of neighbors for training that is customized to the most likely events that could lead to community-wide disaster. To become an official member of CERT — a group that could be called upon to work with the fire department in the event of a local disaster — citizens must pass a background check through homeland security and maintain in good standing by doing a documented minimum amount of training each year.

Jones said he’s talked with former fire chief and current Encinitas city councilman Mark Muir, who has praised his group’s leadership and thorough, step-by-step approach. “The key is for our people to remain viable, not just have a card that is two years old,” Jones said. The Encinitas group’s leadership and strong organization is part of the reason it is one of just two CERT chapters in the county to receive a donated Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) converted from a former working ambulance. “It’s really a rolling incident command center,” Jones said. “It has a tremendous infostructure built into it … (including) a full complement of up-to-date communications gear. It’s stocked with canopies, waste removal and water filtration.” The current president of Encinitas CERT is Doan Hohmeyer and interested people who live or work in Encinitas can visit www.enccert.org. Former CERT president Jones came south to San Diego in the early 1970s after sending a letter to the president of San Diego State to gain admittance. He moved to Encinitas in 1976 and has been married to his wife Cindy for 40 years. The happy couple has three grown sons — Sean, Ryan and Brandt — and five grandchildren. Jones has always been a fan of classic cars, and even raced them a bit on tracks and streets in his younger days. He purchased his own 1956 Chevy convertible as a junior in high school and bought an original ‘41 Chevy panel truck and a ’55 Chevy pickup soon after. By the time he came down south, he had sold those cars to buy a 1965 Malibu convertible and three motorcycles. Jones has owned around 15 classic cars in his life, but his contributions to the Encinitas community are worth more than all of them combined.

Hwy 101 in downtown Encinitas — are presented once a month throughout the summer, continuing July 21, August 18 and Sept. 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Cruise Nights has been around since 1998, when a couple of Encinitas residents got tired of traveling somewhere else to go check out classic cars. Jones took over as event organizer in 2010. “Driving down here is like driving in a postcard,” said the personable commercial large water feature and environmental design builder. “And so when you get into Encinitas, walking La Paloma and the plaques that say 1910 (and see the classic cars) … people love it. It’s a big block party. “When people land here from Europe or way out of state, and they come to Cruise Night … they think that they just walked into a movie set. This is America.” Jones also serves the community in his role as founding member of CERT, a program designed to educate people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. When asked why this cause was important to him, Jones didn’t launch into a doomsday spiel, instead he remembered a heartbreaking story from his teenage years camping in the Russian River. He and a friend helped a family pull a young boy out of the river and with none of them having any recent CPR training — and an ambulance coming from too far away — the boy didn’t make it. “That made an indelible impression on me,” Jones said.

FROM ESCAPE, A5 contingent of the KGB was busy guarding the Soviet politician and security at the airport was lax. Still, Iszak’s group knew that one of the nine other passengers on their flight would be a KGB agent so they devised a plan to attack and subdue the other passengers. When they went to do that, the pilot reacted quickly, locking the cockpit door and taking the plane to high elevation, then diving low and repeating the maneuver several times in an attempt to subdue the hijackers. Needing to get into the cockpit, the seven young boxers got their second stroke of luck — the cockpit door was made of plywood, not metal. Iszak later found in his research that of the six planes the company had on domestic flights at that time, theirs was the only one made of plywood. That allowed George to use a screwdriver and break into

the cockpit. Expecting four people to be in the cockpit, as was customary for the time, George was surprised to see a fifth person — the KGB agent, who was holding a gun which he pointed at George’s head and pulled the trigger. But in another moment of divine intervention, it didn’t fire. According to Iszak, forensics research showed that the agent had accidentally put two bullets in the chamber, which could have only happened with that particular model of gun. George then tackled the agent and a brawl ensued as the other four people in the cockpit pummeled him with anything they could find. George eventually needed more than 50 stitches for the cuts he sustained, but the hijackers were able to take control of the cockpit. By this time, they were around 300 feet off the ground and the pilot — with Iszak

holding a gun to his head — and co-pilot George literally had to swerve to avoid church steeples. They had no navigation and no idea how much fuel was left, and there were two Soviet MiG fighters on their tail ready to shoot them down. Iszak’s recent research uncovered that a communication breakdown between the ground and fighter jets was the only reason they weren’t fired on, and the MiGs had to break off when the plane crossed the border. The group then tried to follow the Danube River, but lost it due to intense cloud cover. Flying blind over the stormy Alps, the group eventually ran out of fuel and was forced to try to land in complete darkness. By chance, they were near what looked to be a deserted airstrip and were able to land relatively smoothly. But where were they? “We have no idea where we are,” Iszak explained. “Finally something shows up at

the end of the runway. It’s a car with a machine gun tower at the top, but we can’t see what flag it bears. “Finally it arrives … stars and stripes.” Iszak’s group had landed in West Germany and had been met by the United States military. The story became world famous and is thought to be one of the catalysts for the Hungarian Revolution just four months later. After working for the military for a few months — he had lots of useful information — Iszak immigrated to the U.S. in 1957 and became a citizen in 1962. He has worked as a chemist, journalist, publisher and private investigator. In 2003, along with his second wife, Serpil, he founded Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach, a charitable foundation that provides free yoga classes to underserved seniors.

PET OF THE WEEK

FLOWER, a 1-year-old American

Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a patient home to call her own. This darling girl has had a bit of a rough start, and has been working with her caregivers to gain more conﬁdence. She originally came into our care from another shelter with multiple wounds throughout her body that needed immediate attention. Despite the amount of pain she was in, Flower remained sweet and loving throughout her treatment. Flower can be timid when it comes to new people, and prefers to approach new visitors at her own pace without being rushed. Once she feels safe with someone, her favorite thing to do is crawl into your lap, lean in for pets and give gentle kisses. Flower is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus located at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or visit sdhumane.org.

FROM CANCER, A9 Four weeks later, Weitz learned he was, indeed, ALK positive. “That opened up the world of targeted therapy and personalized medicine,” he said. He went on a drug called crizotinib. The drug was effective throughout most of his body except his brain. He didn’t meet resistance until four and a half years later. Today, Weitz takes alectinib, which he explained crosses the blood-brain barrier very well. The treatment eliminated his brain mets and, so far, he has not met resistance. He has been on the drug for two years. “There is no active disease,” said Weitz, who continues to get scans of his brain, chest and full body every nine weeks. “These drugs are very well-tolerated, where standard chemotherapy is an equal opportunity destroyer,” he added. “Not only does it kill cancer cells, it kills normal cells so that your white-blood cell count plummets and your immune system becomes compromised, and your red-blood cells plummet and you become anemic. The beauty of these targeted therapies is they only target the abnormal cancer cells, not your other cells, so your immune system stays relatively intact and your blood counts are relatively normal.” An advocate of targeted therapy drugs and clinical trials, Weitz encouraged patients to embrace clinical trials. “This age of targeted therapies and personalized medicine is really remarkable,” Weitz said. “There are many survivors out there like me that have survived. Take comfort in that and don’t be afraid of clinical trials. Without clinical trials, there is no drug discovery.” Weitz has worked with the Lung Cancer Foundation of America for nine years. Starting as an advocate, he now serves on the organization’s Scientific Advisory Board. He often speaks at conferences and other events to share his story. “My perspective has completely changed,” said Weitz, who isn’t looking for a cure, but is looking to live his life and give people hope. “I will never be cured. I don’t have that expectation,” he added. “But the hope that I tell everyone in the lung cancer community is successfully managing the disease, just like I’ve done for the last 10 years.” Lung cancer is the nation’s top cancer killer, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, the Lung Cancer Foundation of America is holding its seventh annual “Day at the Races” July 24 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The event is one of the foundation’s annual fundraisers, bringing together advocates, survivors and supporters at the Del Mar Racetrack. Proceeds benefit lung cancer research. “Day at the Races” will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing. For information or to inquire about tickets or sponsorships, contact Jim Baranski at jbaranski@lcfamerica.org.

Sleep trackers, do they work? TO YOUR HEALTH Sleep Tracking Devices: How Well Do They Work? People are wearing them on their wrists, tucking them under their mattresses and placing them next to their pillows when they go to bed. Sleep tracking devices are becoming increasingly popular – but just how effectively do they measure how well you sleep? According to John Cronin, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist and medical director at the Scripps Clinic Viterbi Family Sleep Center in La Jolla, these devices can be useful for tracking your sleep schedule – when you go to bed and wake up – but are less reliable for measuring the quality of your sleep. “Wrist worn devices generally measure movement, with the notion that your movement in bed correlates with wakefulness,” Dr. Cronin said. “They can track how much you move, but are not directly measuring sleep, which is generally a brain measurement (electroencephalogram).”

Poor Sleep or Poor Science? There’s no question that adequate sleep is important to your health and well-being. A lack of quality sleep can result in a range of problems, such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, slowed response times, headaches and irritability. Moreover, research has shown that insufficient sleep may play a role in more serious health problems, including obesity, heart disease and a weakened immune system. So when sleep tracking devices indicate poor sleep, is there cause for concern? “I’ve had many patients come in who are concerned about the numbers on their tracking devices, but the numbers rarely

provide meaningful information that I can use to make a diagnosis,” Dr. Cronin said. Dr. Cronin describes an overnight sleep test held recently at the Scripps Clinic Viterbi Family Sleep Center. The patient wore both a consumer sleep tracking device and the standard Dr. John Cronin monitoring equipment used in clinical polysomnography tests to diagnose sleep disorders; the clinical equipment monitors heart rate, breathing, movement, core temperature, blood oxygen level and brain waves. The tracking device reported that the patient barely slept, but the brain wave analysis indicated he actually slept very well. Another concern with sleep tracking devices is the lack of information about how they process data. Each company has a proprietary algorithm that analyzes the data, so it can be difficult to evaluate how they work or how they compare to one another. In contrast, the devices used in clinical sleep studies use published algorithms and proven research that have been widely reviewed by experts in the field. While sleep trackers can encourage you to pay attention to your sleep habits, they also can lead to anxiety about quantity and quality of sleep — and this can make it even more difficult to get a good night’s sleep. This reality often works against patients who suffer from insomnia and have significant anxiety about their sleep. “I always encourage patients to be proactive about their health and wellness, so I don’t discourage patients from using sleep trackers. But I caution their expectations of what they will get out of it,” Dr. Cronin said. “During sleep you’re unconscious, so it is difficult to do something to actively sleep

better. You can do things to improve your sleep environment, scheduling and habits which can have an important role overall. It’s not clear that these devices can capture these impacts yet.”

Tips for Better Sleep Habits Dr. Cronin believes that as sleep tracking technology improves, so will the results and their use in getting a better night’s sleep. In the meantime, you can take steps to create a peaceful, supportive sleep environment. Here are several tips to try: · Minimize light and sound in your bedroom. Try wearing an eye mask or playing peaceful nature sounds to help you drift off. · Go to bed and wake up at about the same time every day, even on weekends or days off, to help establish a consistent sleep schedule. · Exercise can help improve sleep, but avoid strenuous exercise within two hours of bedtime. · Avoid using electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones and tablets within an hour of bedtime, as the light can confuse your brain into thinking it is still daylight. · Keep your bedroom temperature comfortable — not too warm or too cold. · Avoid caffeine after noon if you have problems falling or staying asleep. · If you drink alcohol, it may affect your sleep quality. You may fall asleep faster, but you are more likely to awaken in the middle of the night. If you repeatedly have problems going to sleep or sleeping through the night, it’s a good idea to call your doctor. He or she can check for underlying causes and help you get the rest you need. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Health.

From space to your garden! Did you know plants, not unlike humans often times struggle to deal with stress? Stress factors produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and that can be responsible for defoliating your plants! Drought, salt, heat and even excess nutrients all contribute to these environmental and chemical stressors. At BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc. we have a product originally developed to promote the growth of plants in space for use by NASA astronauts. For over 15 years, our R&D efforts have included mission flights to the International Space Station, university studies, laboratory and field tests. Our latest innovative formula is Bio-Available Mineral Formula X, also simply known as BAM-FX™. It is based on our extensive scientific research and desire to develop a product that is easy to use, environmentally friendly and potentially could bio-fortify plants without the use of herbicides/ pesticides. Our BAM-FX™ formula contains a balanced ratio of bio-available minerals for easy uptake. This means plants can get the nutrients needed to flourish without having to increase fertilizer frequency and use. Climate conditions like a drought and excessive soil minerals negatively impact an otherwise robust

and green looking garden. Irrigation water high in Chlorides and Sodium can make plants look dull and brown. Want to have greener plants, more nutritious fruit an veggies? Applying more fertilizer and water is not always the best solution. Plants are not always able to absorb the nutrients available to them in the soil. BAM-FX™ can help open up a plant’s metabolic pathways enabling it to better utilize the macro and micro nutrients in the soil. The newly available nutrients also show up in the fruit! Without increasing fertilizer application rates and frequencies BAM-FX™ can potentially bio-fortify fruit and veggies! Improved nutrient uptake means less stress reactive plants. They can grow stronger roots, more new leaves, and look greener. Independent lab tests have shown that treatement with BAM-FX™ can improve a plant’s drought resistance based on more root growth and drop harmful Sodium/Chlorides levels present in the leaves/fruit. Our cost effective concentrated formula helps to mitigate the negative effects of transplanting as well. With BAM-FX™ your plants could deal better with environmental stress! The visual result? A greener, lush and robust looking garden! Our unique formula BAM-FX™ originally

developed for astronauts to grow nutritious food in space, now can be put to good use in your garden, orchard and pastures. BAM-FX™ is a concentrated liquid formula, so a little goes a long way! High quality, innovative, cutting edge research based solutions and customized applications to meet your speciﬁc needs! BAM-FX™ is the perfect choice for savvy garden lovers at a price you will love!
