SDA boys water polo team is making strides
BY CHRIS SAUR Some of the most inspiring stories anyone’s ever heard are a daily occurrence in the life of Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian. Out of his local Hanger Clinic office, Mirzaian has fitted orthotics on patients who have gone on to win medals in the Paralympics — in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro he had a cyclist and a kayaker — and for nearly a decade he has worked with a San Diego runner named Cheryl Hile, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Hile, 42, who was diagnosed in 2006, uses a brace to combat drop foot and has run more than 30 marathons since her diagnosis. She’s currently in the midst of an amazing journey on which she plans to complete seven marathons on seven continents in one year. Not surprisingly, when she completes the feat, Hile will be the first person ever to do it with MS. “I’m very goal-oriented,” Hile said in an interview from Mirzaian’s Encinitas office. “That’s why I run so many races, it SEE HILE, A16
Mustangs reach section title match for the first time in program history BY CHRIS SAUR or a program that is supposed to be taking baby steps, the San Dieguito Academy boys water polo team took a giant leap forward in 2016. In just their sixth season as a varsity team, the Mustangs went all the way to the CIF San Diego Section Division III championship match, where they almost knocked off senior-laden, top-seeded Helix before settling for a second-place finish. The youthful SDA squad — which had just one senior starter and used a sophomore goalie that began that season in

It marked the first time the Mustang program had even seen the semifinals. “We played well the entire game,” said fourth-year SDA coach Scott Kling. “The way I look at it, we didn’t lose as much as we learned in that game, and it will be great experience if we get back next year.

Gaspar prepares for role as newest county supervisor BY JOSHUA STEWART It took 20 days for Kristin Gaspar to learn how she’ll spend the next four years. On Nov. 28, after thousands of late mail-in and provisional ballots were counted, Gaspar had a solid lead in her race for San Diego County supervisor, and incumbent Dave Roberts called to concede the election.
“It was pretty surreal to really lose and win all in the same election cycle,” she said in an interview on Nov. 29. “It was really an adventure.” Gaspar, currently the mayor of Encinitas, had a come-from-behind win after early returns on Nov. 8 showed her trailing by about 2,200. As of Nov. 30, she led Roberts with 50.27 percent of the electorate, a
1,252-vote advantage. She’s largely been quiet since Election Day, leaving most interviews about the election to her campaign consultant, who was, at best, cautiously optimistic. The election, and the steady counting of ballots, wasn’t really on her mind, she said Nov. 29. She was tending to government affairs in Encinitas, minding her physical

Military personnel to train for disaster assistance at Botanic Garden More than 25 military personnel are being trained to assist with disaster relief in the Pacific Region with a seminar at the San Diego Botanic Garden next week. Agriculture Development for Armed Forces Pre-Deployment Training (ADAPT), is hosting the training seminar designed to give the men and women in various branches of the armed services the skills they need to stabilize an environment after a typhoon, hurricane or other natural disaster, so farming and the local food systems recover
quickly. The program is administered by the Institute for Food and Agriculture at Fresno State and will be held at the Garden on Dec. 6 and 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. “Southeast Asia is a region of small farmers. When natural disasters strike, food security is often destabilized,” ADAPT Project Manager Paul Sommers said in a news release. “ADAPT teaches service personnel the basics of what to do with communities before a disaster to minimize damage, as well as how best to respond afterward to insure a quick recovery
and return to stability. In short, they learn the ADAPT message — agriculture matters.” The Botanic Garden in Encinitas makes an ideal training ground for military personnel deployed to the Pacific Region, according to ADAPT. The subtropical fruit garden in the SDBG contains many of the same varieties of plants found in these regions including bananas, mangos and citrus fruits. “San Diego Botanic Garden is very pleased to have a role in helping our military learn important skills they employ when on
disaster response deployment around the world,” said Julian Duval, Garden President and CEO. “These talented and dedicated individuals also clearly enjoy the chance to spend time in the Garden, and while here, also serve us by providing volunteer work on projects that require a larger team, such as trail improvements and rain water retention. It is a pleasure to have ADAPT and honored members of our military learning and serving at the Garden.” — Submitted press release

Flora Vista is first to benefit from OMWD’s Village Park Recycled Water BY CHRIS SAUR A ribbon-cutting ceremony at Flora Vista Elementary School on Nov. 28 celebrated the beginning of operation of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) Village Park Recycled Water Project. OMWD Board President Edmund Sprague cut the ribbon — while Encinitas City Council member and Board Chair of the San Diego County Water Authority Mark Muir and Encinitas Mayor Elect and Board Chair of the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority Catherine Blakespear were also in attendance — at the Encinitas elementary school, which will be the first OMWD customer to receive this new source of recycled water for landscape irrigation, now that the project’s pump station and seven miles of pipeline are in service. The completion of this project, which is an element of the larger North San Diego Country Regional Recycled Water Project, will enable OMWD to deliver recycled water to schools, homeowner association-maintained areas and greenbelts throughout the Village Park community. “I’m proud of the local agencies like OMWD investing in local drought-proof supply and improving regional reliability, with projects such as this one, which is a
Schneider increases lead on Sinay for EUSD school board spot BY CHRIS SAUR With nearly all of the provisional and mail-in votes counted, challenger Leslie Schneider looks to have unseated incumbent Patricia Sinay for the second open spot on the Encinitas Union School District Board of Trustees. As of Nov. 30 — with only 28,000 ballots left to be counted from throughout San Diego County — Schneider led Sinay by 516 votes (13,722 to 13,206) for second place behind another challenger Rimga Viskanta (14,008). Leslie There are two open spots, Schneider with Carol Skiljan electing not to run for re-election and the seat Sinay was appointed to in 2015 also terming out. Schneider, who coordinates the reading program at Flora Vista and is on the School Site Council, was active in the protests of the school board’s decision to fund a wellness program that included yoga. She told the Encinitas Advocate during the campaign that she was “running for school board because I am committed to three areas of reform to improve our children’s education and future success: fiscal integrity, accountability and transparency.”

Representatives from the California Natural Resources Agency and Department of Water Resources took part in the celebration, along with officials from the Encinitas Union School District. “The thing I’ve been most impressed with in two years on our wastewater board and also on our water district is how well these agencies work together,” Blakespear

said. “I think what it is partly, is buying into the common vision of recycled water being a benefit that everyone agrees is common good.” OMWD serves approximately 15 percent of its overall demand from recycled water, and continues to identify additional ways to make recycled water available to eligible customers. “Almost 90 percent of San Diego County’s water supplies are imported and subject to drought and other potential supply interruptions,” Sprague said in a news release. “With continued drought conditions and state mandates, decreasing demand on imported water through investing in drought-resilient supplies is of paramount importance.”

Caltrans director Malcolm Dougherty speaks Nov. 29 at a groundbreaking event for the first phase of a North Coast Corridor improvement program. The event was held at the San Elijo Lagoon, which will be completely restored as part of the project.
Work begins on $700M in North Coast Corridor projects
Nov. 29 groundbreaking event was at San Elijo Lagoon BY PHIL DIEHL Construction kicked off Nov. 29 on the $700 million first phase of a 40-year project along coastal North San Diego County that will target multiple modes of transportation — an approach that state and federal officials say should be a model for all of California. The work is part of the North Coast Corridor Program, a $6 billion multi-agency effort that will include wider freeway bridges, new carpool lanes, double-tracked railroad bridges, 10 miles of new bike paths, multiple pedestrian walkways and crossings, and the complete restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon. Dozens of local, state and federal representatives gathered Nov. 29 during a groundbreaking held at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center in Cardiff. “This project will improve the daily lives of people who live and work along the Interstate 5 corridor,” said Monica Gourdine, associate division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration. The gain is not without some pain. Starting almost immediately, work on the carpool lanes and bridges is certain to slow traffic and make life a little more difficult for commuters at times until the first phase of work is completed in 2021. “We are going to do the best we can to minimize that disruption,” said Malcolm Dougherty, director of the California Department of Transportation. He asked for “the motoring public” to be patient during the work, and said everyone will be better off once it is finished. Work should begin within days on the
new I-5 bridge across the San Elijo Lagoon at the border of Solana Beach and Encinitas. Construction of the Batiquitos Lagoon bridge in Carlsbad is scheduled to begin in mid-2017. Several speakers at the Nov. 29 event said the innovative approach of combining freeway, railway, public transit and environmental construction projects will allow all the work to be done faster and with less upheaval. “Doing all these projects concurrently gets us out of the (environmentally-sensitive habitat of) the lagoon a lot quicker,” said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts. It also minimizes the negative effects on traffic, business, pollution and other things, he added. Nearly $500 million of the first phase money is budgeted for highway improvements, including the replacement bridges, additional carpool lanes, sound barriers in some residential areas, and more. Rail projects are budgeted for about $100 million, and bike, pedestrian and community enhancement programs for $40 million Interstate 5 and the coastal railway are widely seen as an “economic lifeline,” facilitating the movement of goods and services within San Diego County and to the rest of the state. Efforts to protect the environment and provide public recreation are interwoven into the freeway and railway work. The new longer, wider bridges — with fewer piers in the water — will improve the health of both lagoons by allowing tidal SEE PROJECTS, A17

Codebreaker’s nephew has insights on real Alan Turing BY WALTER MEYER Sir Dermot Turing spoke at a special event Friday, Oct. 28 in the auditorium at The Scripps Research Institute about the life of his famous uncle, Alan Turing, the British codebreaker who was the subject of the 2014 movie “The Imitation Game,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Joanna Davies, founder, president and CEO of the San Diego Biomedical Research Institute (SDBRI) introduced the guest speaker by saying she had known Dermot a long time — they had been undergrads together. She continued, “Dermot is the ideal person to be talking about his famous uncle, Alan Turing, not only because he has access to family archives, documents, and letters being a family member of course, but he wrote his book ‘Prof, Alan Turing Decoded.’ He approaches it with a charming sensitivity that this great man’s life deserves, but he is also a scientist—he has a Ph.D. in genetics. He has done a fabulous job of translating the complexities of mathematics and the early computer science to the lay person. He is also inherently a historian what you see is the depth that allows us to better understand the work of Alan Turing in the context of the time then and now.” Sir Dermot also did a question-and-answer session Oct. 27 following a screening of “The Imitation Game” at the Landmark Theaters in Hillcrest in an event that was presented
WALT MEYER
Sir Dermot Turing, nephew of famed WWII code-breaker Alan Turing, addresses an audience Oct. 28 at Scripps Research Institute. by the SDBRI with promotional assistance from Lambda Archives, San Diego’s LGBT historical research center. Alan Turing is a hero and a martyr to the gay community. After using his math skills to design the forerunner of the German Enigma code during World War II, in 1952, he was prosecuted for gross indecency for his homosexuality and in 1954 committed suicide, many believe due to the persecution he suffered. Sir Dermot said, “He would never have
wanted to be remembered for being prosecuted, I think what he would have wanted to be remembered for what he contributed to the body of knowledge and it’s quite nice to see some of that less well-known work sort of come to the fore.” In his remarks both days, Sir Dermot made it clear “The Imitation Game” should not be seen as history as he pointed out the many inaccuracies of the film. He said he could enjoy the movie as a good drama as long as he didn’t worry about the facts and he is glad the movie shone light on his uncle’s work. Besides just being, “a gay icon, people are rediscovering his theories,” one of which was confirmed in 2014; Alan Turing’s name is showing up in citations in scientific journals again. Sir Dermot said he finds it criminal the way his uncle was treated by society and the courts once his homosexuality was known, and further finds it unfair that although Alan was granted a posthumous pardon by the Queen in 2013, the effort to pardon the 49,000 other people who were prosecuted under the same indecency law in the U.K. has hit snags in Parliament. The movie took its title from a paper Alan Turing wrote shortly after finishing his undergraduate work at Cambridge, speculating whether a machine could ever think like a human—or imitate the way a human thinks. The term “Turing Test” is still applied to the standard by

In the 1930s, Alan Turing created an algorithm that would allow for machines to play chess, long before there was a machine capable of doing so. He kept up a lifelong correspondence with the mother of Christopher Morcom, his best friend from childhood who died young, but was probably the first love of Alan’s life. He wrote her long letters about his research into trying to program a machine to play the Japanese game “Go.” As with chess, getting a machine to play the game and getting one to actually master it to a point that it could beat a human was another thing. It was only in the last year, building on Alan’s work, that scientists created a program that enables a machine to best a human at Go. Of course the computation machines available to the scientists today are a bit more advanced that the ones Alan Turing had at his disposal. The one he was using in 1946 had 1024 bits—not bytes, bits—of memory which in the days of terabytes seems ridiculous, but the British government was so impressed with the size and power of that machine they questioned if the entire country would ever even need a second computer. Sir Dermot said he is proud and pleased that his uncle is one of the giants on whose shoulders modern scientists stand and is finally receiving due credit for his work.

Carole Baggerly, founder and director of GrassrootsHealth, accepts the Humanitarian Award on behalf of her organization from American College of Nutrition Executive Director Michael Stroka last month. GrassrootsHealth will use the funds to further their work of moving vitamin D research into practice — helping to expand their public reach and education. “I share this award with the 48 vitamin D scientists and researchers who share a common goal and have worked countless hours to this end,” Baggerly said. “Together, we have created a call to action — to get the world to the recommended 40 to 60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L). Participating medical institutions are realizing both health benefits and cost savings in their practice by optimizing vitamin D levels. These institutions either participate in our pregnancy project, Protect our Children NOW! or our new Cancer Prevention project.” — Submitted press release

The American College of Nutrition (ACN) honored GrassrootsHealth, an Encinitas nonprofit, with a Humanitarian Award at the organization’s 57th annual conference, which was held in San Diego in early November. The Humanitarian Award is presented to individuals or organizations that have worked selflessly and effectively in the broader field of nutrition to benefit humanity, and past recipients include UNICEF, David Perlmutter (author of Grain Brain) and Vitamin Angels. This year, GrassrootsHealth was honored for its tireless effort to move vitamin D research into practice. In addition to working with over 10,000 individuals in their D*action program to test vitamin D levels, GrassrootsHealth also teams up with hospitals and cancer centers across the country to make resolving vitamin D deficiency standard care. Since it was founded by current director Carole Baggerly in 2007, GrassrootsHealth has tried to bring the low-cost, safe nutritional benefit of vitamin D to light. “This award is especially deserved given the crisis of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency across America, especially in minority communities, and its profound health impacts,” ACN Executive Director Michael Stroka said in a news release. “We are grateful to Carole for her team’s work on behalf of human health, and are pleased to be able to recognize and contribute to their work in this way.” The Humanitarian Award comes with a monetary donation derived from proceeds of the exhibit hall. This year, the donation that accompanied the award was $28,000.

WEEK IN SPORTS
BY KRISTINA HOUCK festive holiday musical is headed for Solana Beach that will surely be fun for all families. After all, it’s a family that will be performing popular holiday songs on stage. Starring a mother and her two daughters, “The Girl Singers of the Hit Parade Holiday Show” is set to take the stage Dec. 6-24 at North Coast Repertory Theatre. “We’re just so happy to be able to come out there and do this, and celebrate the holidays with the folks of Solana Beach [and surrounding communities],” said producer and performer Colleen Raye. An accomplished singer, actress and entertainer, Raye heads The Girl Singers, a singing group she started a decade ago. The original lineup included her sister, Debbie O'keefe, and two daughters, Jennifer and Sophie Grimm. “The music and joy that comes out of us is really great,” said Raye, a mother of four. Raye and her six brothers and sisters were raised on a farm in Wisconsin, where she still resides today. Coming from a musically-gifted family, Raye

The third-seeded La Costa Canyon football team lost to No. 2 St. Augustine, 28-17, in a San Diego Section Division I semifinal on Nov. 25. After falling behind 7-0 early in the second quarter, the Mavericks (6-6) scored 17 unanswered points. That spurt culminated with Tanner Clark’s 39-yard scoring run that gave LCC a 17-7 lead in the second quarter. Nicholas McAllister’s 30-yard field goal got the Mavericks started, and Karson Lipper’s 23-yard scoring run gave LCC a 9-7 lead.

Local author discusses impact of drugs in latest book BY KRISTINA HOUCK From aspirin to antibiotics, the development of drugs has truly changed the world. After decades of studying and teaching biology, local resident Irwin Sherman is now detailing the history and impact of drugs in a new book. “Drugs That Changed the World: How Therapeutic Agents Shaped Our Lives” discusses about two dozen drugs, detailing how they were developed and how they have impacted the world. The book, published by CRC Press, looks at antibiotics, anesthesia, hormone therapies, psychotropic drugs and a variety of other vaccines. “It’s appreciation of the people and the product that I wanted to get across,” Sherman said. A New York native, Sherman studied biology at City College of New York. He first became fascinated with infectious disease agents during a two-year tour of duty with the U.S. Army in Europe, where he worked in a medical laboratory. After the Army, Sherman earned his master’s and doctorate degrees from Northwestern University. He then extended his graduate studies on the biochemistry of malaria as a post-doctoral fellow at Rockefeller University. Sherman, who is known for his studies of malaria, started as an assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside, in 1962. He served the university for 42 years and retired as acting executive vice chancellor in 2004. A biology professor emeritus, Sherman was a visiting investigator at Scripps Research Institute from 2004 to 2012. He currently serves as a visiting professor at UC San Diego. Sherman has written several books, including one that discussed 12 diseases and another that looked at malaria vaccines. “That started my interest on writing about disease and history,” he said.
Irwin Sherman The concept for his latest book came about while writing “The Malaria Genome Projects: Promise, Progress, and Prospects” in 2012 for Imperial College Press. At that time, the editor sent him a proposal from pharmacologists interested in writing a book on drugs. “I was intrigued by the prospect of discussing drugs,” he recalled. “I thought I might be able to write a better book.” Sherman has since set out to do just that. Already an expert on malaria vaccines, Sherman began reading about other drugs that have changed the world. “I learned so much,” Sherman said. “I can’t tell you how fascinating it was for me to do the research to write this book. It was such an enlightening experience, and I really wanted to transmit that enlightenment to the readers.” Sherman hopes the book will not only educate, but entertain, readers. The book is intended for a general audience, for anybody interested in science and history. “I hope readers learn something about the drugs that are in their medicine cabinet and how they came to be,” he said. “I also hope readers begin to appreciate the people who develop these drugs.” “Drugs That Changed the World: How Therapeutic Agents Shaped Our Lives” is available on Amazon.com.
‘Spend the Night with Billy Crystal’ show coming to San Diego Tony and Emmy Award-winning comedian, actor, producer, writer and director Billy Crystal announced his upcoming 30-plus city U.S. tour Spend the Night with Billy Crystal, which will make a stop at the Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego on Feb. 16. Coming off the heels of his recent critically-acclaimed Australian tour, Crystal promises a hilarious and intimate evening. Tickets will be available to the general public on Friday, Dec. 2 at 10 a.m. “This show is unique. There’s stand up, and ‘sit down’ which gives me great freedom to tell stories, show film clips and talk about my life and career and the world as I see it,” said Crystal. “It’s loose, unpredictable and intimate. The most
fun I’ve had on stage in a long time.” A stand-up comic turned television star, Crystal found fame as a movie funnyman with starring roles in blockbusters such as When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers and Analyze This. He was much loved as the acclaimed nine-time host of the Academy Awards, an achievement topped only by Bob Hope, who hosted the Oscars 19 times. Also an award-winning author, Crystal’s latest memoir, Still Foolin’ ‘Em: Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys?, was an instant New York Times bestseller. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com. To charge by phone, call 800-745-3000 or 805-963-4408. Connect with Billy Crystal on his official Twitter: twitter.com/billycrystal.

Breeders' Cup Festival seeks sponsors, artists for Del Mar project
La Jolla Cultural Partners
The Breeders’ Cup, the World Championships of horse racing, is headed to Del Mar next November. Along with its world-class racing comes a week-long festival produced by the Breeders’ Cup Host Committee that will excite and entertain the San Diego community with all things horse. Thirteen races will be held on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3 and 4, 2017 with $28 million in purses along with awards and prestige of the highest order. Approximately 100,000 fans are expected to take in thoroughbred racing’s version of the Super Bowl and the Olympics all rolled into one at the seaside course, along with millions more watching on the NBC networks. The Breeders’ Cup Host Committee, made up of local individuals and organizations, including the San Diego Sports Alliance, is planning more than two dozen special community events leading up to the big days of racing, but ahead of them comes a unique opportunity to be involved with a long-lasting remembrance of the world’s best horses leaving their indelible mark on Del Mar history. The Art of the Horse will feature full-sized fiberglass horse sculptures painted and decorated by local artists, then distributed and placed in highly visible locations throughout the greater San Diego area. The life-sized, artistic sculptures are reproductions of the Torrie Horse used on the Breeders’ Cup trophies. The original Torrie Horse sculpture dates back to the Renaissance and is a symbol of beauty and grace. The horses will tell all that
the Breeders’ Cup is coming in their singular and colorful style. At least 20 horses will be shown with more anticipated. The painted and decorated horses will be part of a signature dinner and auction prior to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Proceeds raised through the auction and Art of the Horse sponsorships both will be donated to a series of local charitable organizations and used to help fund the various community events leading up to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The Breeders’ Cup Host Committee is putting out a “Call to Artists” to enter their names in the running for the right to paint/decorate a horse. Artists will receive an honorarium for their work and gain extensive exposure in print, on the web and at all of the fundraising events. Additionally, a horse map will be developed showing the location of the horses to the public that allows for more artist recognition. Interested artists should contact Bing Bush, Jr., the executive director of the Breeders’ Cup Host Committee, at bing@bushlawoffices.com. The committee also seeks sponsors, merchants and local community groups that would be interested in being part of the Torrie Horse art project. Artist submissions and the sale of sponsorships likely will close on or before Dec. 31.

Expert’s book recounts saving multibillion-dollar company BY KRISTINA HOUCK s the unwavering chairman and chief executive officer of a multibillion-dollar company, Scott MacDonald helped saved one of Australia’s iconic companies. His recently released business memoir, “Saving Investa,” recounts how MacDonald helped rescue the company while looking back at significant moments that helped shape him into a corporate management and leadership expert. “We survived,” said MacDonald, a local resident. “The banks were all paid back. The employees all wound up with secure jobs. I feel like if I hadn’t shown up when I did, that may not have happened. Everybody would have lost.” Set in Sydney in 2008, “Saving Investa” details MacDonald’s efforts to save Investa Property Group, an Australian commercial real estate

Author Kamshad Raiszadeh, M.D. wrote a book for back pain sufferers.
Local resident writes book to help sufferers with chronic back pain BY STACEY PHILLIPS ith a substantial increase in spine surgeries in the United States and more than 80 percent of the general population experiencing chronic back pain, Kam Raiszadeh is taking steps to address this widespread problem. In addition to opening four SpineZone clinics in San Diego, the local resident and well-respected orthopedic spine surgeon recently wrote a book titled “Take Back Control: A Surgeon’s Guide to Healing Your Spine Without Medications or Surgery.” It is based on Raiszadeh’s 20 years of experience in the medical field and offers practical tips based on scientific-based principles and real life stories to help patients alleviate their pain without undergoing surgery. “The main reason that prompted me to write this book was the excessive number of surgeries being done for back or neck pain,” said Raiszadeh. Over the last two decades, he noticed this trend of increased surgeries without a proportionate improvement in outcome as well as an alarming increase in the use of pain medication. About 12 years ago, Raiszadeh joined forces with a UCSD professor who was a big proponent of strengthening and rehabilitation. As Raiszadeh learned more and saw the successes, he began to incorporate holistic non-operative methods to treat patients in his surgical practice. He completed a two-year study with one of
W
the large medical groups in San Diego six years ago and found that by using a strengthening-based program, compared to standard physical therapy, there was a 30 percent decrease in surgery rates. This led him to open the first SpineZone clinic in 2005 in Mission Valley where he and his team teach patients medically-supervised therapeutic exercise. Raiszadeh said by incorporating these methods, he has found that fewer patients have required surgery and those who have undergone surgery had much better long-term results with improved function and health. He said a recent internal study showed that by utilizing these methods, narcotic use was decreased by 75 percent. There are currently four clinics in San Diego: Escondido, La Mesa, Mission Valley and Vista. In 2015, he teamed up with his brother Kian Raiszadeh, who was a lead physician and orthopedic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente, to help expand the SpineZone vision across the nation. They are currently working on opening a fifth facility in San Diego and plan on expanding to Orange County and Los Angeles as well as to large carriers and employers. Each location has a team of exercise physiologists, physical therapists, physicians assistants and spine specialists. “The team is multi-tiered for a reason,” said Raiszadeh. “We realize that all of us bring a complementary skills set to bear that enhances the patient’s improvement.

FROM HILE, A1 helps me navigate my MS because they are like these little mini goals that I can strive for. “But I couldn’t do any of this without Ara’s help, without this brace. It was a real game-changer for me. I kept tripping and falling and I was getting depressed.” Hile met Mirzaian about a year after her diagnosis and he fitted her with the best ankle foot orthotic (AFO) available at the time, which was merely a spring that picked her right foot back up for her, but used up energy. She ran one marathon in that, but fortunately soon after came the first model of a Carbon Graphite AFO called The Noodle, which was able to store and return energy. Mirzaian met the creator of The Noodle and got Hile one of the first ones ever made. “It was straight out of the oven,” said Mirzaian, who then shaped it specifically for Hile. “With this type of design, she is able to use less energy and complete marathons. I just make her braces and she does all of the hard work.” Hile had been running marathons since 2000, but in 2006 she started getting symptoms that doctors initially misdiagnosed as sports injuries like nerve damage. But after a few months of that, an MRI showed what Hile was truly dealing with. And she met the challenge head on. “Having a neurologist tell me to lower my expectations for running, I
just got mad and wanted to prove her wrong,” Hile explained. She battles the drop foot, with the help of Mirzaian, and another symptom where the entire right side of her body goes numb when her body heat from running exacerbates her MS. To combat this problem, Hile’s husband Brian runs alongside her in every marathon, making sure she doesn’t drift to her right. “He’s also there to protect the other runners so I don’t bump into them. (In terms of running with the numbness), I guess I’ve just been running for so long my body knows what to do, I just can’t feel it,” Hile said. In working toward this year’s goal, the pair has completed two marathons so far, in South Africa (in September) and Buenos Aires (October), and next on the docket is running the Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 11. The seven-continent goal means Hile will actually run a marathon in Antarctica in January, then hit Tokyo in February, Vienna, Austria in April and Christchurch, New Zealand in June. For the Antarctica event, the group of runners participating in the marathon will fly to Chile and there is a five-day window during which the race director will monitor the weather and choose exactly when it is suitable for the race. Suitable in this case means up to 20 or 30 degrees. The group will then fly to Antarctica, the director will mark out a route, and the athletes will run on a combination of mud and gravel and probably a little snow.
CHRIS SAUR
Cheryl Hile, right, holds the orthotic that Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian, left, has fitted for her to combat the drop foot symptom of her MS when she runs marathons. The San Diego woman is in the middle of attempting to become the first person with MS to run seven marathons on seven continents in one year. Unlike the other runners, Hile will have to deal with her MS symptoms, which can flare up in the cold just as they do in the heat. Before her MS symptoms started to show, Hile ran half-marathons at an 8:20 pace. “Now I’m definitely much slower but I’m just happy I can keep running with MS, because it can stop you from moving at all,” Hile explained. “I’m hoping when I finally do stop running marathons, it will be on my own terms, not because I have MS.” Hile grew up in Orange County, but
has lived in San Diego since coming to UC San Diego in 1995 (except for a brief stint in Seattle from 2010-2013 during which she still came back to San Diego to have Mirzaian make her AFOs). Back then, Mirzaian had a small local practice in La Jolla, which was bought out by the Hanger, Inc — a huge national prosthetic and orthotic company — in 2012. That’s when he moved to the office in Encinitas, where his practice is booming. Born and raised in Glendale,
Mirzaian came to North County in 1987 and never moved back. He attended San Diego State to be a dietitian, but got into orthotics after an injury to his knee that was supposed to keep him away from snowboarding and surfing for a year or two. A brace that was made for him allowed him to get back to those activities much sooner, and that inspired him to get into the field, so he went back to school, got certified and has been doing this work since 1992. “Not too many people know about this field and it’s really growing,” said Mirzaian, whose wife, Donna, has taught at La Costa Heights Elementary in Encinitas since 1995. They have three kids who went through the Encinitas Union School District and are now seventh, ninth and 12th graders in the San Dieguito Union High School District. After Mirzaian examines a patient, he orders the orthotic to be made in a factory based on his specifications, then he does little adjustments himself to make sure the piece fits and works correctly. For Hile’s AFO, that means cutting pieces down and creating a pad. Hanger — which is famous in part for helping athletes with lost or malfunctioning limbs achieve lofty goals and also for creating the prosthetic tail for Winter, the dolphin who is the subject of the movie “Dolphin Tale” — has helped make Hile’s seven in seven goal a reality, sponsoring her trip to Antarctica, among other things.

FROM GASPAR, A1 family and supporters to track the race and text her the latest results each evening. “My dad thinks he’s developed carpal tunnel from hitting refresh so many times,” she said. When she’s sworn in on Jan. 2, she’ll be the second new supervisor in more than two decades, and the first to unseat an incumbent in more than three. Now she has to transition into her role as one of the region’s top elected officeholders. Building her staff is her first priority, she said. “As the congratulatory messages were coming in, so were the resumes,” she said. She’s looking to hire her chief of staff first followed by the subordinate positions. She didn’t say if she has someone in mind for her top aide, but she’s looking for a person who knows the county well, understands government operations, and will have a good relationship with her district. If she’s re-elected in 2020 she would be the most senior member of the board due to term limits that will force the other four supervisors out of office. Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer, the county’s top manager and boss of its 17,000 employees, called to arrange a meeting and to help Gaspar learn important details of her new job. Gaspar said she’s also planning to speak with department heads to get a better understanding of public safety operations, social services, and other county issues. She said she toured several facilities during her campaign. During her campaign she met with the four supervisors she’ll join. Like her, all are Republicans. Roberts was the lone Democrat and first new member on the board in two decades when he was elected four years ago. “I was actually really excited after I left individual meetings with each supervisor,” she said. “With each one there were areas where I could see myself working with them on. For example, Dianne Jacob is focused on safety and senior areas. Those are areas where I am passionate as well.” She’s also learning the county at large, as well as her district, a jurisdiction that includes northern San Diego, coastal cities Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, and inland areas including Escondido and the San Pasqual Valley. Nearly all of the area’s 630,000 residents live in an incorporated

San Elijo and other San Diego County lagoons provide a critical part of the remaining wetland habitat. Additional areas will be set aside and protected at San Elijo as part of the mitigation efforts required for widening the freeway and railway. Also, selective dredging and filling will remove the unnatural buildup of sediment in the lagoon and restore a healthy environment for more of the natives species. The lagoon restoration is scheduled to begin in mid 2017 and continue through 2021, Additional trails will be built to improve public access to the lagoon, including a pedestrian undercrossing beneath the railroad bridge that will connect east and west ends of the lagoon for the first time since the railroad was built more than 100 years ago. — Phil Diehl writes for The San Diego Union- Tribune city. “My commitment over the next several months is investing more time with the community,” she said. “The fact is the supervisors are making decisions with the entire regions, not just district three.” Staff from the physical therapy business she runs with her husband took up some of her professional duties during the campaign, and will be able to keep the company running while she serves as a supervisor, she said. “This is absolutely a full-time position and I will be giving it my full time commitment,” she said. Supervisors are paid $153,290 annually. And she is also listening to Roberts. Gaspar said he was gracious when they spoke for around 30 minutes on Nov. 28. At first, she didn’t know who was calling. “I was really pleased with the conversation we had,” she said. “It was a bit surprising to receive the call, I had a brand new phone so I didn’t even have his contact.” Roberts was also a rare fresh face on the board among colleagues with decades of experience. Roberts declined to comment, but has previously said that it was tough being the new guy since nobody knew how to guide a supervisor into their new job. “For him, he was the first supervisor in a very long time, so he got to experience the first transition that the county did,” Gaspar said. “I am sure mine will be a bit smoother, but he wanted to provide some tips and insights into his couple of first months in office.” He also encouraged her during their conversation, she added. “He made it very clear that he wants me to be successful,” she said. What’s next for Roberts isn’t clear. But in an email to he sent to supporters on Monday, he asked them to show compassion, conviction and remain dedicated to their ideals. “Only together will we fight and secure a brighter future for all of our families,” he wrote. He also told them that he would stay involved. “I am looking forward to continuing to work to fulfill our vision for a prosperous San Diego County that protects our quality of life today and for future generations,” he wrote. — Joshua Stewart writes for The San Diego Union Tribune

FROM BOOK, A14 MacDonald recalled. “I didn’t leave for five-and-a-half years.” Although initially resisting his assignment, MacDonald accepted a six-month stint that turned into five years as chairman and chief CEO of Investa. “I had no intention to stay,” MacDonald said. “But the company was falling apart. People were about to resign in mass. We were losing $10 million a month. The company was going to fail, so I just stayed.” At the time he became head of the company, Investa had $9 billion in assets and about 650 employees. But the company was overridden by massive debt. So MacDonald, the only American, worked to restructure the debt and restructure the organization. The people at Investa and their dedication to see the business succeed, he said, is what kept him going. “I care about people,” MacDonald said. “When I do something, I try to make sure that everybody benefits and that it’s the right thing to do. Otherwise, I don’t do it.” Having worked in the real estate industry for more than 40 years, MacDonald has served as CEO or president of five operating companies. MacDonald served as chairman and CEO of Investa from 2008 until 2013. He continued as chairman until March 2016, when he stepped down and the company was sold. “I didn’t leave until the company was out of trouble,” he said. Over the years MacDonald developed specialized expertise in
corporate management and leadership, as well as formulating and executing corporate repositioning. From a young boy growing up in Chicago, to a struggling college student and factory worker, his book flashes back to key moments in his life that helped him develop the skills and strength needed to turn around Investa. “There are really valuable lessons learned,” said MacDonald, who landed his first factory job at 18 years old. He continued to work in factories while earning his bachelor’s degree in political science from Indiana University. He went on to earn a master’s in city and regional planning from the University of North Carolina. In addition to weaving his personal and professional stories together, MacDonald summarizes 25 key lessons learned during his career in corporate turnarounds. “The true and tried solutions sometimes just don’t work,” he said. “You have to move far outside the box and take some chances or you’re going to fail.” MacDonald started the book after stepping down as CEO. He also founded MacDonald Scholars, a program to pay full-time university students to help others through innovative and impactful community service projects. “Saving Investa” is available on Amazon.com.

Don’t Let Thanksgiving Kick Off Holiday Overindulgence For many of us, Thanksgiving is a day to come together with family or friends around a table of the kind of comfort food and proportions we wait for all year. Feasting is often early, followed by pie, watching sports or movies, and then starting in again late in the evening for the round of leftover sandwiches. Second, third, and fourth servings of already-heaping portions are not unheard of. The truth is that, other than some indigestion and extreme circumstances of intestinal trauma, there is nothing wrong
with occasional overindulgence of holiday overeating. While gorging on gargantuan platefuls spread over several hours is not the best thing you can do for your body, overeating on one day will not harm you. Most of the food (and calories) will be gone from your system in a few days, and aside from some salt retention and swelling, you’ll be good to go with no lingering physical effects. The health problems arise, however, when people see Thanksgiving as the unofficial kickoff to holiday overindulgence. There are multiple religions and cultures that collectively celebrate nearly 30 holidays between November and mid-January. Regardless of belief or affiliation, there are work-related events and gift-exchanges and myriad sweets, food trays, candy trays, as well as cookie exchanges that start magically appearing the day after Thanksgiving. There are marathon home baking sessions. And as the weather cools, coziness is encouraged; December is nothing without images of people nestled by the fire—with food and drink abounding. But don’t get trapped into
this cycle of holiday overindulgence. So often, the cliché is that you can justify your holiday overeating by telling yourself you’ll start fresh with a diet and exercise plan in the new year. And indeed, many gyms make a killing off these good intentions. Here are the astounding statistics: 12% of new gym memberships start in January, when attendance is up overall somewhere between 33% and 50%, the highest point being the second week of January. However, by February, a staggering 80% of the New Year’s Resolution makers has dropped off. In fact, when gyms sell memberships, the business model is that only 18% of the members are expected to use their memberships—for longer than a month. Therefore, there is only a 1-in-5 chance that you will follow through with your New Year’s Resolution to take off the holiday overindulgence weight put on. And even if you manage to take off a few pounds, the data keep revealing that most holiday weight gain does not come off, and instead accumulates each year. The truth is that one
Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at delmartimes.net/columns
month of overindulging can sabotage your health. It is hard to lose weight after gaining it suddenly, and it’s even harder to keep it off, especially as you age. This added weight puts strain on your vascular system. Belly fat puts pressure on your abdominal aorta, and it is harder for your veins to pump the blood back up from your feet. Other than genetics, this is the most common cause of varicose veins. The other problem is that the weight gain decreases mobility, and at this point, getting the necessary exercise has been a problem so far. Decreased mobility on top of weight gain is a recipe for vein disease, which is not served only for the holidays. So I urge you to practice moderation throughout the coming month. Keep track of the food that you’re eating, and be wary of the holiday food trays and candy exchanges. Don’t be afraid to regift the sweets you get if you’re afraid it will sabotage your health. But as for Thanksgiving? Go ahead. It’s one day. Pass the gravy.

and accessible to the patient makes this process a lot smoother and more effective.” There are three large medical groups in San Diego that refer patients to SpineZone. “There is also a lot of interest from all of the big carriers and many large employers who realize that our current system is broken and want a solution,” said Raiszadeh. “In conjunction with the clinics, we have now incorporated an online digital program that helps educate patients regarding their condition and provides customized exercises they can do at home.” He also decided to write a book to empower a larger population of patients who have chronic pain. “I realized that until SpineZone is more widely available, this is a much bigger message that needs to communicated.” Raiszadeh weaves in his own experience about spine problems in general and gives readers practical advice and tools to better understand their back condition and to recover. The book is currently being sold on www.amazon.com and www.takebackcontrol.com. Although the book is targeted to those who have
chronic back or neck pain, Raiszadeh said he hopes that the information will reach policy makers. “It’s a public health problem,” he said. “The impact of chronic spinal pain is a huge burden on society as far as medical costs, missed days of work, disability, and constitutes a disproportionately large percentage of the overall medical spending. All of these can be improved by a more holistic approach.” He said one of the biggest factors causing chronic back and neck pain is our current lifestyle. “Now, in the tech age, we often bend to look down at our phones and computers in awkward angles. “Sitting for a long time is a very bad posture for your disk,” said Raiszadeh. “It’s probably the worst thing for your disc on a sustained basis to be sitting.” Raiszadeh said his next main goal is to continue to expand SpineZone and its message. “I really feel that by educating patients on their condition, having them understand their own body’s amazing ability to heal, and providing the tools for them to tap into this healing capacity, we can empower patients to prevent chronic back or neck pain from affecting their lives,” he said.

Principal’s perspective on the SDA student walk out BY BJORN PAIGE s a child of the ’80s, the notion that I’m the guy in the tie is still an odd one. I grew up knowing that as an adult I didn’t want a job where I bought anything, sold anything, or processed anything, I didn’t want to buy anything sold or processed, or sell anything … you get the idea. As an educator, I don’t. Mine is a job of service, of working hard to try to make a difference, of looking forward, and working toward a future better than our present. Those goals don’t exactly fit the stereotypes of a principal from my own high school years. Sometimes, however, the day-to-day duties do. Just a couple of weeks ago, some of our students took to social media to organize a walkout to express their frustration with the outcome of an election that only a few were old enough to vote in. It’s a challenge teenagers have been facing since long before the ’80s — too young to vote, but old enough to have passionate and informed opinions. I got an email heads-up that morning, and spent the day working with my administrative team to ensure that we followed district protocol, informed parents and teachers,
A
FROM POLO, A1 Carl Winner (two goals) and Nate Conger (one) rounded out their team’s scoring, Helix relied on a pair of seniors to seal the deal. Wes Babbitt finished with seven goals in his team’s win and Highlander goalie Dennis Sweeney had five of his 12 saves in the decisive fourth period. It was the only time in the postseason run that SDA wasn’t the better team down the stretch as, after a first-round bye, the third-seeded Mustangs erased a second-half deficit to defeat Classical Academy, 11-7, in the quarterfinals then trailed in the final quarter of a 12-9 semifinal victory over No. 2 Olympian. The win over Classical, SDA’s third of 2016, came as a result of the halftime adjustments that the Mustangs executed to perfection. “No matter what sport you are playing it’s really hard to beat a team three times, because they know how you want to attack them,” Kling told the Encinitas Advocate. “The kids responded really well, implementing the modifications that we made. In that game, they applied everything they had been working on all year.” In coming from behind to beat Olympian, it was a true team effort on offense that carried the Mustangs. Though Gensler had five goals and an assist, when SDA needed late scoring, other players stepped up. “Playing Olympian, we didn’t really know what to expect and we came in confident, so the game started getting away from us,” Kling explained. “But our guys are really resilient. “The thing that is really great about our team is that Matheus is our leading scorer, but we are pretty balanced after that and all of our guys are able to score. In that fourth quarter against Olympian, they tried
cooperated with partners in law enforcement and at another high school, and came up with a plan that honored our students’ rights while at the same time kept them safe. Our students handled themselves well, with voices from all political stripes finding a polite and passionate audience. Signs and flags for both sides of the political spectrum dotted the lawn by the amphitheater, and students sat or stood respectfully as my administrative team and I kept a perimeter to make sure no uninvited guests crashed the unsanctioned but peaceful protest. Thirty minutes later the bell rang for fourth period and the crowd thanked each other for coming out and headed off to class. Did I just describe a ruckus? It wasn’t really much of one; the angriest voices I heard were from community members who phoned me to offer chastisement for “allowing students to believe they had a voice,” “letting kids think that when they graduate they will be able to protest,” and, as one angry gentleman scolded me, “educating a generation of wusses.” But not all of being a principal, in this decade or any other, is responding to situations. At its
to shut him down and our other guys were able to take advantage of that, push up and get some quick goals to help us come back.” Kling added that sophomore goalie Dylan Herrera, who was in because senior standout Conner Dahl suffered a late-season injury, had many of his 11 saves in the final period to help the Mustangs hold on. Herrera added 12 blocks in the title match. Though most of the squad’s goals came from underclassman — of SDA’s top nine scorers only one, Sam Dumont (63 goals, second on the team), is a senior — those young players grew up quickly during a rugged regular season. Playing league matches against Carlsbad (who played in the Open Division playoff tournament), Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest (the second and third seeds in the Division I tourney), the Mustangs held their own to finish 19-13 in the regular season. “They learned a lot playing those teams tough and they really grew from it,” Kling said of his squad. “There’s a pretty good chance we will move up to Division II next season … and the guys are excited about that. The culture of this team has become contagious.” When Kling took over the SDA program four season ago, there were just 20 boys playing water polo. He told the freshman that year that they would be that start of building the program. In 2016, the Mustang program featured 44 boys. Gensler paced the varsity squad with 104 goals and added 33 assists in 2016, while Dumont was the second-leading scorer. Junior Kekoa Wheeler tallied 42 times and dished 38 assists — including two in the championship contest — and Conger added 37 goals and 33 assists for the season. Winner had 28 goals
best the job is about maintaining a vision for the future and working toward that picture of your school’s best self. It’s not chasing Ferris or telling the kids they can’t dance, but being a good steward to an institution that puts students in positions where they can succeed. If some of those students dress all in black or like to wear buttons on their jackets, if they want to sport neon legwarmers or Guns ‘n Roses T-shirts, then more power to them. It’s the principal’s job to welcome them all, help them all see the value of listening to each other’s voices, and maybe even see that students, and principals too, transcend the stereotypes people have of them. The world often looks at educators and students with suspicion and writes them off as agitators or cardboard cutouts. Put more eloquently: “You see us as you want to see us … in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain … and an athlete … a basket case … a princess … and a criminal.” Am I every principal from every 1980s movie? Trust me, I’ve been called worse. — Bjorn Paige is the principal at San Dieguito High School Academy
despite missing nearly half the season with an injury. On the other end of the pool, Dahl had 215 saves in 24 games before going down and junior Wesley Tyler was SDA’s defensive stopper. “He’s our two-meter defender so he took on the opponent’s best player in every game,” Kling said of Tyler. “He’s like our field general and when he was out of the game, the team suffered.” In growing the program, Kling has focused on his building up his players outside of the pool as well. The Mustangs come together for charity events such as their bike drive on Dec. 4. That day, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the SDA parking lot, the team will collect and restore gently used bicycles to donate to the Community Resource Center for its annual Holiday Baskets. “The word has gotten out on campus that it’s an exciting team and we are like a family,” Kling continued. “Another thing is, we aren’t like some teams where it is polo or nothing. The kids can do things like band or student government and I encourage that, even if it means they have to miss a game or something once in a while. I want them to be better people, not just better players. “I’m trying to make the program what I would have wanted it to be when I was growing up playing.” Kling, 42, played at Brea Orinda and coached at La Habra and Brea in the mid-1990s. He moved to North County with his wife, who teaches at an elementary school in San Marcos, where she grew up. After 15 years away from coaching, Kling decided to get back into it, thinking he would land a job with a JV or club team. But SDA was looking for a coach at the same time, and four years later it looks like a match made in heaven.
