Business owners ask for more enforcement of parking violators

BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe village merchants and representatives from local law enforcement agencies met on July 9 to discuss how a lack of parking is hurting village businesses. Business owners were requesting more enforcement of parking violators, particularly everyday repeat offenders, in an effort to help the remaining businesses keep their doors open. “We’re down to 10 merchants and that’s it. Everybody’s suffering like hell and talking about closing,” said Bernard Hug, owner of Mille Fleurs. Rancho Santa Fe’s flo-

rist, barber, restaurant and shop owners gathered in the courtyard near Country Squire Gifts and Linens with San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, California Highway Patrol Captain Amy Mangan, Captain Theresa Adams-Hydar from the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser, and some CHP officers. Gore said he hoped that they could find a solution to alleviate the problem as he said he could see for himself how hard it must be for businesses — at 10 a.m. he had trouble finding a place to park for the meeting.

The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society transformed its annual fundraising summer home tour into a tour of five “fine equine estates.” The Boots, Bridles and Barns tour was held July 11. The equine facilities on the tour are some of the “most upscale in the nation and are home to pleasure, hunter/jumper and dressage horses.” A “Hoedown” party was held after the tour at the park in front of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, which featured food, drink, live music, dancing and a live and silent auction.

Variety of water-saving options discussed at RSF community drought response meeting BY KAREN BILLING In the thick of the California drought, Rancho Santa Fe has weathered a reputation for being water wasters. However, many residents have proven that they are not only conscious of the drought but are willing to put in the work to do their part to conserve and keep the properties that they value looking beautiful as well. To help members find even more water solutions for their homes, the Rancho Santa Fe Association hosted a community drought response meeting on July 8 featuring conservation alternatives, such as the use of drip irrigation and complete overhauls of water-guzzling green lawns. Before the meeting’s presentations began, residents could check out exhibitor booths set up on the

Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club patio. Sprinkler Doctors touted water savers and Solana Succulents of Solana Beach showed an array of beautiful, water-wise plants. Other local vendors included RECON Native Plants, which, at certain times, has over 200 or more native species on hand; Hunter Industries, which has been helping the Association retrofit its irrigation system over the last three years; and Van Slyke Landscaping of Encinitas, which specializes in distinct design using the latest water conservation products, technology and services, such as weather-based Smart Controllers, drip and micro-irrigation, low-volume rotary nozzles and professional lawn aeration.

SFID sending out allocation letters to help reduce water use Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) began sending letters recently to all customers, providing each with the specific water allocation for their property along with reminders about water conservation tips, programs, rebates and incentives offered by the district online. In addition, an allocation calculator is available at www.sfidwater.org/calculator, to help customers determine their bimonthly allocations for the year. In the midst of the worst drought in California history, SFID has stepped up efforts in public outreach, enforcement and restriction of use to meet the state requirements, conserve the remaining water supply and to plan for long-term water supply. Those efforts, and an unusual rainfall period in May, led to 42 percent in water-use reduction for the month over the same period in 2013, according to the latest district records. “The dramatic reduction in May water

use is really impressive,” said SFID General Manager Michael Bardin. “We want to thank our customers for stepping up in such a dramatic way.” The SFID letter campaign falls in line with the start of the allocation period on July 1, when all customers are being asked to reduce their water use dramatically to meet the Governor’s 36 percent cut back. “We recommend that all customers sign up for an online account at www.SFIDwater/MyAccount,” noted Bardin. “Customers can go there any time to obtain their specific water allocation.” This is just one of many conservation programs, tips and incentives available on the district’s website at www.SFIDwater.org. The district also encourages its customers to explore and engage with the district on Facebook and through Twitter #SFIDwatersavvy.

County reports 2015 West Nile virus-infected bird total already more than last year BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The county of San Diego collected 50 dead birds that tested positive for the potentially fatal West Nile virus in the first half of this year, more than all of 2014, the Department of Environmental Health reported recently. The DEH said 14 West Nile virus-infected birds were discovered within the last few weeks in various parts of the region, including Carmel Valley, City Heights, El Cajon, La Mesa, Oceanside, Ramona and Spring Valley. The total number of dead birds found in all of last year was 41. The virus is spread to birds and people by mosquitoes. Last year, 11 San Diegans were infected by the disease and two died. “There are simple things people can do to help protect themselves,” said DEH Director Elizabeth Pozzebon. “Get rid of standing water in and around your home so mosquitoes can’t breed, wear insect repellent, and report dead birds to our vector control program by calling or emailing them.” Four out of five people bitten by a mosquito carrying West Nile virus won’t have symptoms. Of those who do get sick, most will have a mild headache, fever, nausea, skin rash or swollen glands. The symptoms turn life-threatening in 1 out of 150 cases, mainly for people over 50 years old or those with weakened immune systems.

County Board of Education appoints Encinitas resident Rick Shea as District 5 Representative At its July 8 meeting, the San Diego County Board of Education appointed Encinitas resident Rick Shea as the board representative for District 5, which runs along the coast from Del Mar to Camp Pendleton and includes some inland North County areas, including Rancho Santa Fe. Shea has lived in District 5 for more than 40 years and has dedicated his career to helping students succeed. Prior to retiring as the special assistant to the county superintendent/administrative services officer for the San Diego County Office of Education, Shea served as a classroom teacher and head teacher for the Juvenile Court Schools and as a juvenile probation officer. Shea has also served as mayor and a city council member of Encinitas, a board member of the Encinitas Fire Protection District, San Dieguito Water Dis-

trict, Cardiff by the Sea Sanitation District, and North County Transit District. Shea was chosen from a pool of 15 candidates. Each candidate was asked a series of interview questions by the three sitting board members. At the conclusion of the initial interviews, each board member nominated a candidate to go to a final interview. Second-round candidates also included Comischell Bradley-Rodriguez and Miles Durfee, both from San Diego. Shea was appointed by a unanimous vote and was immediately sworn into office by County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Randy Ward. “My desire to serve on the County Board is a continuation of the 30-plus years I have dedicated to public service,

education, and to the children of San Diego County,” said Shea. Shea’s first full meeting as a County Board of Education member will be on Aug. 12, when he will help select the appointee for the board’s District 2 seat, which is currently vacant. Shea will hold office until January 2017. A successor will be elected in 2016 to complete the term ending Jan. 2019. “The board is pleased to have received such a large number of applications for the District 5 seat,” said County Board of Education President Dr. Gregg Robinson. “Mr. Shea comes to us ready to do the job.”

Rancho Santa Fe Association supports California Highway Patrol programs BY KAREN BILLING As it has every year since 1999, the Rancho Santa Fe Association made contributions to the California Highway Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) and Explorers, a program that provides experience for youth interested in law enforcement careers. At its June 2 meeting, the RSF Association board presented a check to the Explorers for $4,500. The Senior Volunteers received their $4,000 donation prior to the meeting. Both programs operate on a limited budget and receive no additional funding from the state so the Association’s contribution is extremely valuable. CHP Officer George Salas, the Explorer coordinator, said the Association’s generosity allows them to purchase equipment, buy uniforms and allows Explorers to participate in competitions. Explorer Sergeant Brad Search, 20, said he began the post when he was 18 and it is “one of the best things he’s ever done” opening his eyes to the world of law enforcement. Senior Volunteer Patrol Captain John Green, who has been a member of the patrol for 18 years, said the Association’s support is instrumental in helping them meet their responsibilities. In Rancho Santa Fe, SVP helps with school traffic, traffic control for accidents, checking on and reporting abandoned vehicles and donates over 182,000 hours in support of public safety. Both Senior Volunteer Patrol and Explorers were on hand at the July 4 parade to help keep the event running safely and smoothly.

Accomplished RSF resident Michael J. Berthelot teaches aspiring/new directors how to navigate the boardroom BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having served as a member of more than 30 public and private boards across the United States and around the world, Rancho Santa Fe’s Michael J. Berthelot knows more than just a thing or two about board service. “I’ve had a blast,” Berthelot said. “I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve met a lot of really, really nice and motivating people.” With decades of board experience under his belt, Berthelot, 65, now spends much of his time teaching new and aspiring directors how to navigate the boardroom. Berthelot currently teaches the Governance Academy, which is facilitated by San Diego-based Corporate Directors Forum. Founded in 1991, the nonprofit organization promotes high standards of professionalism and ethics in corporate governance by offering educational programs to help directors, officers and business leaders build more effective boards. “The mission is that better directors make better boards,” Berthelot said. “The key to being a better director is education and networking. Education will give you the formal knowledge you need, but networking will give you the real answers to how it gets done in the real world. You learn from your peers, so we’re big believers in peer-to-peer networking.” Originally from Ohio, Berthelot earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting at the University of Akron and a master’s degree in accounting and finance at Cleveland State University. In the early 1990s, Berthelot moved to New Jersey to serve as board chairman and chief executive officer of TransTechnology Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of lifting devices for military and civilian aircraft, including rescue hoists, cargo hooks and weapons-lifting systems. He retired in 2003 and relocated to Rancho Santa Fe, although he remained chairman of the board for another three years. Berthelot joined Corporate Directors Forum shortly be-

Michael J. Berthelot fore he moved to San Diego. “Once I retired, I knew I wanted to be involved in corporate governance,” said Berthelot, who was a founding member of the New Jersey chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors. “I’ve been involved ever since,” added Berthelot, who later served as a board member and chief executive officer of Irvine-based Pro-Dex, Inc., another publicly traded company. “This is a way for me to share what I’ve learned.” Berthelot has served as board chair and chair of

Corporate Directors Forum’s program committee. He currently serves as chair of the education committee, which is responsible for the Governance Academy’s curriculum. The Governance Academy offers a variety of programs, including a half-day program, a two-day program, and custom, in-house programs for companies. To further educate people in corporate governance, Corporate Directors Forum offers monthly panel discussions and an annual conference. “We want to be able to cover the whole spectrum of organizations in San Diego and other areas for corporate governance,” said Berthelot, who also serves as a board member on the board of directors of Fresh Del Monte Produce, a Floridabased consumer products company. In addition to working with Corporate Directors Forum, Berthelot currently serves as a chief executive officer of Mission Manager and chief financial officer of

Mtell — two San Diego software companies where he also sits on the board of directors. Berthelot is also the founder of two consulting companies. He works with private companies through Cito Capital Corporation, which was founded in 2004, and he works with public companies through Corporate Governance Advisors, which was founded in 2005. Lastly, Berthelot, a father of six and grandfather of five, also serves as a lecturer at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management, where he teaches a class called, “The CEO, The Board of Directors, and Corporate Governance.” “It’s fun,” Berthelot said. “If you’re having a good time and you enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not like it’s real work.” For more about Corporate Directors Forum and the Governance Academy, visit www.directorsforum. com.

Forgoing MLB draft, TPHS baseball star headed to Notre Dame BY ROB LEDONNE Last month during Torrey Pines High School’s graduation, 18-year-old Jake Singer said goodbye to the friends and athletes he’s spent most of his time with throughout his esteemed baseball career. “Graduation was pretty surreal,” Singer says from his home in Rancho Santa Fe. “It doesn’t start to hit you until you walk into the stadium and see everyone around you.” For Singer, graduating from Torrey Pines marked the beginning of one chapter and the end of another one. As a stand-out on Torrey Pines’ varsity baseball team, Singer has now set his sights on playing for Notre Dame’s prestigious baseball team. This, after he was drafted in the 38th round of Major League Baseball’s draft by the Colorado Rockies last month. “I played on a travel team for a coach who was a scout for the Rockies and we developed a relationship,” says Singer of his potential foray into the Rockies’ ranks. “He liked what he saw in me and reported me to his superiors.” When Singer was drafted by the Rockies in early June, he says it caught him

varsity team and a stint with the Solana Beach Cardinals — Singer has been a third baseman. When he heads to Notre Dame, however, Singer isn’t sure what position they’ll slot him in, but he’s not too worried. Notes Singer, “I’ve played third all throughout high school, but I can play any position.” Moving forward, regardless of what happens in Singer’s athletic future, he says he’ll forever cherish his humble beginnings in the North County scene. “This group of guys meshed and played really well together,” he says of his former Torrey Pines teammates. “Moving onto Notre Dame and not playing with them anymore will definitely be bittersweet.”

who recently came off a surprisingly successful senior season. “This last year playing for Torrey Pines has been awesome,” says Singer. “We had a great group of guys and were able to win the League. Being able to do that with the kids I grew up with has been the highlight of my career in baseball so far. No one would have predicted this.” One of the highlights of the season for Singer was a walk-off hit against Torrey Pines’ arch rivals, La Costa Canyon. “We played 12 innings against them and to come out on top was incredible,” he explains. “There was so much emotion in that game. Everyone on each team really wanted to win.” Throughout his baseball career in the North County — which includes Torrey’s

Notre Dame-bound Torrey Pines graduate Jake Singer slams a hit at a recent varsity baseball game. Courtesy photo totally off-guard. “It was surreal and something I didn’t expect,” he explains now, looking back. Singer was then faced with a difficult decision: attend Notre Dame, like he had been planning to do since he accepted their invitation to play ball for them last fall, or pass up that opportunity to try his hand in the minors. Singer chose the former, passing up the chance to trek to Colorado in lieu of Notre Dame’s South Bend, Indiana campus. “Even before I was drafted, I decided in my head that I was going to go to school no matter what,” he says of his decision. “I just see so much value in getting a degree. Playing a sport professionally comes with a lot of variables.” As of now, Singer’s plan is to attend and play for Notre Dame for the next four years, obtain a degree, and aim to get drafted again after he graduates in May of 2019. It’s no wonder that the powers that be at both Notre Dame and the Colorado Rockies had their eye on Singer,

Village Church hosts U.S. Navy Admiral July 19

Flash Mob creates fun at RSF 4th of July event Rancho Santa Fe showed its funky side with a surprise flash mob performance at the recent Fourth of July festivities. After the parade, residents were surprised by a group of dancers who seemed to appear out of nowhere to perform a choreographed dance to “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars. Dancers were greeted with surprised looks and then shouts of approval and applause from onlookers. More than a dozen women boogied, while fedora-wearing Charlie Christ delighted the crowd with his smooth moves. Two boys, Daniel Scuba and David Scuba, joined in the fun by sliding in for the big finale. After the flash mob, community members joined in the fun dancing to Pharrell’s “Happy” song. “Our aim was to bring the community together in a special way to celebrate Rancho Santa Fe and our nation’s birthday,” said flash mob participant and Rancho Santa Fe Association Executive Assistant Daria Quay. “Our dancers worked very hard but probably had more fun than the audience. I’d like to thank them for their time and their talent.” In addition to Charlie Christ, the Scubas and Quay, flash mob dancers included Janet Lawless Christ, Kelly Dixon, Gabriela Fernandez, Roxana Foxx, Gail Frazar, Linda Leong, Holly Manion, Susan Muha, Gabriela Ripa, Sharon Ruhnau, Jane Van Praag and Anne Vuylsteke.

CCA’s cybersecurity team goes to Cyber Boot Camp BY KAREN BILLING Current and recently graduated Canyon Crest Academy cybersecurity team students participated in Securing Our eCity’s Cyber Boot Camp this summer. Securing Our eCity is a non-profit that helps facilitate a safer cyber experience for digital citizens in San Diego. According to security solutions provider ESET that sponsors the boot camp, right now there is a shortage of people with the skills and training required to defend computer systems against criminals who range from data thieves to terrorists. Addressing this problem through improvements in education and career guidance is critical for the future. A select group of students is invited to attend Cyber Boot Camp every June for five days of intense education in the art of defending computer systems. The group of students from CCA was able to attend the boot camp for free as a result of being finalists in the Mayor’s Cup in April. The Mayor’s Cup is a cybersecurity competition in which teams are given machines and networks to secure. The team’s security implementations are then tested by a group of hackers trying to gain unauthorized access to the networks. CCA’s cybersecurity team included rising seniors Simon Kuang and Kevin Wu, junior Emilia Copic, sophomores Nathan Thomsen and Rithvik Rao, and class of 2015 CCA grads Grant Summers, Keshav Tadimeti and Jonathan Luck. All attended Cyber Boot Camp June 22-26. “This was my second year attending Securing Our eCity boot camp, and to me it is worth it because of the freedom on exploring and learning,” said Jonathan, who will attend UC San Diego in the fall to study computer science. “We got to do stuff ranging from flying quadcopters (drones) to network exploitation. We had an isolated network that we were free to try things out in without worrying about damaging anything important.” Jonathan said this year’s camp had a lot more guest speakers with military and National Guard backgrounds. He said it was interesting to see that in that setting they need personnel that have the students’ particular skill sets. Each student in boot camp came away armed with a lot of tips for staying secure online. Jonathan said the overarching theme is “use common sense.” “Don’t download files from places you don’t trust. Don’t open suspicious emails or click suspicious links. Don’t plug in USB drives you find on the ground or around the office,” Jonathan advised. “ If you have children, make sure they understand this as well.” Securing Our eCity has a lot more information and resources on its website: securingourecity.org/individuals-family.

Local ultra-runner finishes 100-mile run across tough terrain BY KAREN BILLING While local resident Jeff Hooker might be hesitant to say he ran 100 miles for a belt buckle, he pretty much did just that. Every runner who finishes the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run under the benchmarks of 24 hours or 30 hours earns themselves a hefty, handmade silver or bronze belt buckle — a coveted prize among ultra-runners. Hooker got 100 tough miles under his belt — and the buckle to boot — by being one of only 254 runners to finish Western States on June 28 in California gold country. Hooker, 48, completed what is considered the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race in 29 hours and 29 minutes. The race takes runners from Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics at 6,200 feet elevation, ascending to Emigrant Pass at an elevation of 8,750 feet. The remote and rugged trail course ascends 15,540 feet more, then descends 22,970 feet before finishing in Auburn on the track at Placer High School. Western States has a dropout rate of 30 percent; runners must meet the 30-hour cutoff point to be considered finishers. While some 26,000 people ran in this year’s Rock n’ Roll San Diego Marathon and Half, fewer than 10,000 people have run Western States over the race’s lifespan since 1974. So why does Hooker want to run 100mile races? “I don’t know,” he stated honestly with a laugh, except that he loves to run and he had already tackled every distance from 5K to marathon. One hundred miles was just another challenging distance to take down. “The reason why I keep doing it is the

community. The trail-running community is very different from the road-racing community. It’s a smaller community because not a lot of runners go out and run 100 or more miles. It’s just a different mentality, and a different group of very, very supportive and yet highly competitive people.” In San Diego, they are called SURF (San Diego Ultra-Running Friends). They organize group-training runs and serve as a valuable resource for ultra-runners. Several SURFers began Western States and were cut off by time; Hooker and Joey Bryan were the only locals to finish. Western States was Hooker’s fourth start and third finish of a 100-mile race. He has started the San Diego 100 Mile Endurance Run three times and finished twice — in 2013, he missed the cut-off time after being slowed by 100-degree heat and getting lost at mile 51. Hooker has been training in ultra-running for the past five years, balancing running long with life and work at a computer technology company. He will ramp up training in January for spring, summer and fall ultras, logging 60 to 70 miles a week during training, with long runs of 20 to 30 miles on the weekends. Typically, having a few 30-plus-mile runs will have him feeling sufficiently prepared for a 100-mile race, although before Western States, he ran the 50-mile Pacific Coast Trail Run as a training run. He frequently runs Lake Hodges, Elfin Forest or Los Penasquitos Canyon, and goes out to Mount Laguna or Lake Cuyamuca to get used to elevation and mountain climbs. As Western States has big elevation gains and losses, Hooker focused on his

Encinitas ultra-runner Jeff Hooker finishes the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run alongside his daughter, Theresa. Courtesy photo downhill training as well as his climbing. For the first time in his ultra-running career, he also dealt with an injury during training — a peroneal (ankle) tendon started to flare up in his left foot from overuse, which he handled by visits to a chiropractor and adjusting his training schedule. To race Western States, runners first must qualify and win in a participant lottery. It is extremely hard to get in, and Hooker had one ticket in the lottery, a 48 percent chance to get selected. Team Hooker, which included his wife, Charlene; his daughter, Theresa; his mother, Gayle Griffith; his daughter’s best friend, Sami Amezcua; and Gloria King, his “safety runner” and pacer, traveled to Lake Tahoe the Saturday before the race so Hooker could adjust to the altitude. The foot felt fine and he hiked up the race’s first big climb, 2,550 vertical feet, to get his nerves out. See RUNNER, page 16

“It ended up being the easiest hill there was,” Hooker said. The race started at 5 a.m. and the winner, Rob Krar, was done before the sun set, in 14:48:59. For others, like Hooker, the race goes into the night with runners donning headgear to light their way. “I break the race into sub-races: the first day, the night race and the next-day race, because I’m a bit slower,” Hooker said. “I run aid station to aid station. I tell myself, ‘I just need to go eight more miles,’ rather than ‘I’ve got to go 88 more miles.’ “Every race typically has a low, and the low can be small or a big low,” he said. Hooker’s big low came after mile 30 — he’d just had a very long climb to Robinson Flat in the peak of the day’s 98-degree heat. He reached the aid station where Team Hooker was waiting to greet him. Typically, he remembers the ultra-runner’s credo of “Beware of the chair” (meaning once you sit, it’s pretty hard to get back up), but he found a rock in the shade and sat down. “My wife was aghast. She said, ‘You don’t ever sit down!’” Hooker recalled. He usually tries not to spend more than two minutes at an aid station, mostly just taking time to refill his water bottles and get a protein shake from Charlene. Each aid station in Western States is manned by a volunteer crew, whose mission it is to keep their eyes on the runners for any health problems and to keep them on course when they start to feel defeated. One such volunteer was key to getting Hooker back on his feet. “He said, ‘I know you’re hot and tired, but I can see in your eyes that you’re not done yet, so get up and go,’” Hooker said, growing emotional remembering that “wonderful” volunteer’s motivational words.

“Those little things, they just get you going because physically you don’t want to. The body will do what the mind believes. That was my mantra I repeated many, many times. And I visualized that belt buckle in my mind.” So on (and on) he went, through crests and descents with names like Miller’s Defeat, Dusty Corners, Last Chance and Devil’s Thumb. The race had fantastic, “awe-inspiring” views that Hooker had to remind himself to stop and take in. His pacer, King, joined him for 38 miles. While he grabbed a cooked potato at one aid station, he mostly subsisted on water and his wife’s protein shakes. “That’s my carrot,” he said of Charlene’s magic almond milk-and-protein concoction. “It really refuels me.” As it was very hot that day, Hooker was really chasing the clock the whole time to try and stay under 30 hours. Not until he reached the Placer High track and saw that he had a 30-minute buffer could he finally let go. He had studied Western States for years and knew every part of the race by heart. His eyes welled up when he talked about how long he had visualized himself on that track, on the homestretch of a 100-mile feat of endurance. At the last aid station at Robie Point, anyone can join the runners for the last 1.5 miles of the course. Theresa (who runs cross country at Santa Fe Christian) and Sami were waiting to run with him. Sami peeled off as they reached the entrance to the track, and he and his daughter did the last quartermile lap together — a race photographer capturing the “awesome” moment with smiles on both their faces.

“It was amazing how many people were enthusiastically cheering, almost overjoyed for you that you made it,” Hooker said. “To do that for every runner, to have that much enthusiasm, for me that was special. That was the high.” As much as he loves the challenge of 100-mile races, he admits he does really like the end of them. “When I crossed the line, my answer was ‘No, I’m not running this again.’ My answer today is ‘Absolutely,’” said Hooker last The happy finisher.

Author and expert Dr. Charles A. Moss to discuss ‘Integrative Medicine: Diet, Acupuncture & Adaptation to Optimize Your Health’ July 23 at RSF Library Charles A. Moss, MD, will present an integrative health lecture at the Ranch Santa Fe Library on Thursday, July 23, at 11 a.m. The topic of Dr. Moss’ discussion will be “Integrative Medicine: Diet, Acupuncture & Adaptation to Optimize Your Health.” Dr. Moss is a pioneer in the use of integrative medicine for preventing and treating problems such as fatigue, heart disease, diabetes, digestive issues, allergies, autoimmune disorders and chronic pain. In 1978, he founded the first integrative medicine practice in the San Diego area in La Jolla, the Moss Center for Integrative Medicine. He is board certified in family medicine, environmental medicine and medical acupuncture.

Rant With Randi: Guns...My story

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Education Matters/Opinion The Comic-Con extravaganza BY MARSHA SUTTON To say Comic-Con is a spectacle would be a massive understatement. The Exhibit Hall is s e n s o r y Marsha Sutton overload for adults (I couldn’t begin to imagine how the 3- and 4-year-olds in the crowd – and I do mean crowd – were coping), the lines were enormous, the noise deafening, the parking (even the walking) was insane, the costumes outrageous. And the fun? Over-thetop to the extreme. With everything from Peanuts and SpongeBob to The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries, fans showed their love en masse. Adoration for the macabre and grotesque gave me the creeps (although I did rather like the zombie Lyft drivers), but fortunately there was much more than gory horror to excite the senses. Comic-Con had it all: science fiction, fantasy, adventure, animation, comic books, games (from Pokemon to Warcraft), Steampunk (I learned what that is by making my own gearthemed bracelet), magic (love for all things Harry Potter is alive and well), cosplay, anime, cards, posters, buttons, dolls, T-shirts … the list is endless. Muppets and Game of Thrones might not seem to go together, but somehow it works at Comic-Con, where a delicate fairy princess can stand next to a vengeful vampire for a friendly photo taken by a Star Wars stormtrooper. For the uninitiated, adults dressing up in costumes – and acting the part – can seem a little “out there.” So can listening to a panel of grown-ups talking seriously about Harry Potter and the “Potterverse,” unicorns, wizards, a Severus Snape fan club (really?), and the International Quidditch Association (which has 150 college teams and just concluded its eighth World Cup). But the weirdness is contagious, and soon you get caught up in the circuslike atmosphere, so eventually seeing men in tights

and capes and dozens of curvy women in Wonder Woman outfits becomes sort of ho-hum. I confess to being new to geekdom: My friends were dumbstruck when I admitted I didn’t know what the Millennium Falcon was in the Starship Smackdown panel. In my youth I was devoted to Archie Comics and MAD Magazine, and that was pretty much the extent of it. Looney Tunes were the cartoons of the day, and I still remember them fondly. But my love for Star Trek, Star Wars (despite not knowing the name of the ship piloted by Han Solo), Ghostbusters, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park and Twilight (I even have some trading cards, a gift from a friend and fellow Twilight groupie), now qualifies me, I suppose, as at least a baby geek, a title I wear proudly. In one panel, titled “2015: The Greatest Geek Year Ever?,” panelists declared it to be true. Whether the word “geek” is derogatory or a label to be proud of was debated at a panel titled “The Geek Shall Inherit: A Look at the Evolution of Geek Culture.” But there was little debate. Eight panelists, including four psychologists, basically skipped right over that question with a “what, are you kidding?” dismissal. Self-proclaimed geeks all, they wore their label as a badge of honor. How it all began was with comic books, but the seismic shift happened when comics took over the movies, according to one panelist, who proclaimed the original Batman movie in 1989, starring Michael Keaton, the start of a revolution in Hollywood, as producers began to jump on the

SpongeBob SquarePants and his buddy Patrick Star with a fan. superhero theme. Others credited the first Star Wars movie, in 1977, as the defining moment when “geek” became OK. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs helped improve the image further. Panelist Jenna Busch, host and founder of the Legion of Leia website, had a different benchmark. “The line for the ladies room at Comic-Con is now a lot longer,” she said, thrilled that there are more “girl geeks” roaming the halls. The serious side of Comic-Con Besides the fandom experience, which gets the most publicity, there were dozens of educational opportunities for teachers, librarians, parents, young children, teens and adults interested in the more cerebral aspects of the ComicCon extravaganza. Intriguing educational themes included how to use comics and graphic novels to enhance reading and learning, making science exciting and accessible, acceptance of differences, and portrayals of women and minorities in comics, games, television and film. A wide range of tutorials engaged audiences on techniques in graphics design, animation, 3-D technology, special effects, board game development, universe creation, adventure and horror writing, character development and how to get published.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD In order to fully understand the nature of this rant, you need to know a few things about me. I grew up on a ranch in Texas, and my family owned guns. The rifles and shotguns were locked in a gun case, but the handguns were strapped in holsters in various locations around our home. I even kept a small handgun in the glove compartment of my car. So yes, when I was much younger, I was very comfortable with guns. Since having my own kids, both my husband and I are completely against having guns in our home. The way we see it, an accident is an accident because something happens that wasn’t supposed to happen. An accident involving a gun is a risk that neither of is willing to take with our children. My daughter has asked me to take her to a gun range for years. I’ve always said no. This past spring she was at my father’s home in Colorado, and his good friend took her to a gun range and taught her

gun safety. “What happens at Pop’s stays at Pop’s.” Thanks dad. Apparently she loved it, so I decided to take her to a range here in California. The truth is, I’ve never been to a range in my life. When I shot a gun, we were on our ranch with my family. We drove up to a very large building with the quote, “We the people...” on the side of the building (the American flag behind it). The experience felt political. We walked straight up to the counter where the guns were kept, and asked the employee standing behind it what we were supposed to do. Please note that I had a few basic assumptions taking my daughter to the See GUNS, page 20

Editor’s note: During this past year, students in Annika Mizel’s eighth grade English class wrote editorials and created their own magazines. A few of those editorials have been published in the RSF Review over recent weeks. The final one is below.

The drug dilemma: How teen athletes are becoming more susceptible to drug use BY NOAH HECHT, R. ROGER ROWE 8TH GRADE STUDENT With fame comes money, and with money comes privileges. The superstar athletes who are spectacular at what they do make millions off their professions. Cristiano Ronaldo, one of Real Madrid’s many stars that could arguably be called the best player in the world, makes around $20 million a year, a salary that none of us can even fathom. With buckets full of money like that, a person can buy anything they desire and not have to think twice, or even check the price tag. They can spend it on what they will: fancy houses, expensive clothes, cool cars, fine meals, you name it. However, sometimes they spend their money irresponsibly. Famous soccer players, current and retired, have been involved in many drug scandals over the years. Not only have the lesser-known players been caught taking drugs, but even some “greats” find themselves making the same bad decisions. Hey, even the revered Diego Maradona, a retired international superstar out of Argentina, was caught and arrested for drug abuse. I’m not concerned for the players themselves, because their problems are for them to worry about; however, I am concerned about the image they are portraying. Many up-and-coming youth players looking to ascend to the next level have heroes that, in their eyes, can do no wrong. So what happens when their heroes are caught parSee ATHLETES, page 25

range: 1. Someone would be assigned to stay with my daughter and I because we had no idea what we were doing. 2. Someone would take my driver’s license and do a background check to be sure I wasn’t a total nut job. 3. We would receive a 15- minute tutorial on gun safety and how to actually load and shoot the gun. You know what they say about assumptions. I was shocked. My daughter picked a handgun randomly. He put it in a basket, like we were at the market purchasing milk. He asked me how much ammunition we wanted, and gave us two rounds of 50 bullets each. Then he placed the goggles and headphones in the basket and sent us off to our lane. I was actually shaking as we walked through the door to the “lanes” on the range. The minute we walked in, guns were firing and it was so loud (even with the headphones on), that I nearly jumped out of my skin. All of a sudden the movie “American Sniper” popped into my head and I realized that everyone in there had guns and anyone could have turned around and shot us. My daughter thinks I’m twisted for thinking that way, but nobody had to do a background check. I slowly started loading the magazine with the bullets (based on watching someone else), and my daughter shoved it in the gun and handed it back to me. When I took the first shot, I wasn’t expecting “kick back,” but it was so harsh that my hands went up in the air, the hot shell came flying out of the side of the gun and I freaked out. This is a feeling that is difficult to explain unless you are shooting a gun, with fire flying out one end, and your daughter standing behind you...and complete strangers shooting in the lane right next to you. I took two shots, and put the gun down. An employee came over (finally) to give us some tips so that we wouldn’t “tear up our thumb,” and I begged him to stay to help us. My daughter shot the gun and I loaded it. We didn’t use the second box of ammunition because the experience was the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever done in my life. The whole thing took us 20 minutes. It’s unimaginable to me that not one employee was worried about my daughter and I (or anyone else for that matter), with our complete lack of experience. I’m not going to get into “gun facts” and debate whether or not people should be allowed to own guns. My point is simple: Guns are no joke. They are powerful, deadly weapons and we unequivocally need stricter gun legislation in this country. What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail. com.

RSF Historical Society presents ‘Boots, Bridles and Barns’ tour The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society transformed its annual fundraising summer home tour into a tour of five “fine equine estates.” The Boots, Bridles and Barns tour was held July 11. The equine facilities on the tour are some of the “most upscale in the nation and are home to pleasure, hunter/jumper and dressage horses.” Designated buses took tour guests to each barn, where volunteer docents served as guides and gave the story of each facility. A “Hoedown” party (photos on this page) was held after the tour at the park in front of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, which featured food, drink, live music, dancing and a live and silent auction.

ATHLETES

continued from page 19

taking in illegal activities like doing drugs? These superstars are subconsciously telling young adults that it’s OK to do the things that they do, legal and illegal. Youth athletes are growing up and thinking, “Hey, if my role model does it, then it must be good.” Performance enhancers are also quite common in professional sports, and not only is it in soccer, but it also extends into sports like football and baseball, where players are seen taking steroids so they can “beef up.” These athletes who are supposed to be the best of the best at what they do are influencing kids in all the wrong ways. “I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame” — Pete Rose, a former Major League Baseball player. They are practically telling the world that the only way to ever achieve something good in life is through cheating and deception. In the article “Doping: A Growing Problem For Young Athletes?” author Jeanne Goodes says that “according to studies conducted by clinical pediatricians, 4 to 12 percent of high school boys and 3 percent of high school girls have tried some form of performance enhancing drug (PED). Those statistics continue to rise every year.” It is evident that what athletes do has a big effect on young teens; I mean, where else would they get the idea that they should take performance enhancers? Even Lionel Messi, Barcelona’s No. 1 player, has been taking growth hormone medicine, that could be referenced as a performance enhancer, since he was 11 years old. When FC Barcelona first discovered this young talent, Messi began to receive Human Growth Hormone injections paid for him by FC Barcelona because of his growth hormone deficiency. One could argue that these injections have transformed him into a goal-scoring machine, so why isn’t he being challenged? Any regular soccer player with even a hint of skill could take the same medicine that Messi does and possibly compete on a professional level, but who knows? When someone famous has a fault, it doesn’t begin and end with him/her, and rather creates a ripple effect that can influence and alter even the most unlikely of people. The bigger the rock, the larger the ripple. The worse the crime, the more people affected. Famous people and athletes carry with them the responsibility of showing young kids how to act. If they send the wrong message, it could be dangerous; however, if someone sends the right message, it can do more good things than any of us will ever know.

WATER

continued from page 1

speaker was Kelly Fore Dixon of Nature Designs, who has a lot of experience in Rancho Santa Fe helping convert properties to low water-use landscaping. “Embrace the new Rancho Santa Fe and the changes in our natural landscape,” Fore Dixon said. “The days of tropical plants are fading, we’re getting back to a natural plant palette for all of us.” Fore Dixon said the reality is that San Diegans live in a “beautiful desert” where it averages only six inches of rainfall a year. “A mere 1,000 square feet of fescue lawn requires 35,000 gallons of water a year,” Fore Dixon said, noting the average property is two to three acres per resident in Rancho Santa Fe. Fore Dixon said residents should look closely at the lawn on their property that nobody ever uses or walks on besides the guy with a lawn mower. Fore Dixon said it’s important that homeowners know their irrigation systems — they should inspect every operating head to look for leaks, adjust overspray and avoid runoff. “Rancho Santa Fe is famous for really high water pressure,” Fore Dixon said. High water pressure is a major cause of leaks, pipe damage and water waste. She said water pressure can be checked with a gage and should be around 50 to 70 psi (pounds per square inch) — she said often in Rancho Santa Fe properties she has checked have been up above 170 psi. Fore Dixon also advised homeowners to learn about precipitation rates of different irrigation heads, such as spray, rotor, stream and MP rotators, which are the most efficient. MP rotators are an alternative to traditional sprinkler heads — the nozzles feature a unique multi-trajectory rotating stream that delivers water at a steady rate. According to Hunter Industries, the slower rate allows water to gently soak in at rates the soil can absorb and replacing a conventional spray head or pop-up sprinkler can result in water savings of up to 30 percent. Converting to a drip irrigation is also an option; pipes are set up on a grid on the topsoil and water is put out very slowly, about .6 gallons an hour. As Santa Fe Irrigation District Manager Mike Bardin said, residents need to help themselves and become their own “water managers” and begin to make decisions about water use. He advised people to take advantage of the district’s free water audits, learn to read their meter and understand what the numbers mean and use the district website’s water calculator to compare usage. “We’re not there to penalize you, we’re there to help you,” Bardin said. “It’s a challenge for all of us...but we’re going to get through this.” Extreme lawn makeovers Fore Dixon gave examples of successful redesigns on several Rancho Santa Fe properties. One home received a $51,000 rebate for converting 25,000 square feet of lawn. The owners replaced grassy front lawn areas with native plantings and chose artificial turf for their backyard. “They just still wanted to have a lawn,” Fore Dixon said. “Artificial turf is not everyone’s choice but it’s an option.” The homeowners also installed Carex pansa, a native meadow, to give their side yard a beautiful and natural look that requires less irrigation, weed control and maintenance. Along their long driveway, they converted from a spray to a drip irrigation system, which reduced their overall usage by 50 percent. Fore Dixon has seen homeowners opt for lawn alternatives such as San Diego bentgrass and gazania ground coverings or planting gardens instead of lawns. Another example saw a homeowner receive a $13,000 rebate for removing 13,000 square feet of lawn. They replaced the grass with succulents and gravel and reduced wa-

ter usage by 40 percent by converting from spray to drip. One homeowner converted a 3-acre citrus grove to an olive grove, also growing grapes on the vine. Fore Dixon said she knows people love their citrus groves in Rancho Santa Fe and property owners can keep them alive and beautiful by increasing spacing in the groves or reducing by half. “Whether you like Mediterranean drought-tolerant plants, natives or succulents, I think you can find an alternative that suits you,” Fore Dixon said. Other water saving tips from Fore Dixon: • Mulch, mulch, mulch. Bear in mind the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District advises against mulch all the way up to a structure. • Cap irrigation heads, aerate usable laws so that water will be absorbed more quickly. • Reduce swimming pool water use. Put a cover on pools to reduce evaporation and heat loss. Check for pool leaks with the bucket test — mark the water level in the pool and fill a bucket with water, marking the level in the bucket as well. Monitor both over a period of time and if the pool water level lowers faster, there is a leak. • For new construction or remodels, consider planting bigger beds and smaller lawns and smaller, shallower pools. The value of trees Another big concern during the drought is keeping trees alive, stressed by speaker Melanie Conomikes of Tree San Diego, a non-profit dedicated to increasing the urban forest and ensuring the right trees in the right places are properly maintained. “Trees should be given a higher priority when cutting back on landscape watering, because lawns and shrubs can be easily removed and replaced by trees take many years to mature and are expensive to remove and replace,” Conomikes said. Trees require a surprisingly little amount of water and have many benefits such as providing shade, saving energy, improving air quality and even increasing property values. Small trees only need 20 gallons a month, the same amount most people use in one shower. Large and mature trees need about 30 to 40 gallons a month, the amount used in an average load of laundry. Conomikes advised people to set up a separate drip irrigation zone for trees, such as using a tree ring irrigation contraption, to water without waste and with enough so that water can soak the soil under the trees. Adding mulch around the tree can also significantly reduce the need for water. Trees can also be watered using a hose with a spray nozzle (obeying the water district guidelines) or by using collected warmup water from the shower. The Association’s reduction efforts Arnold Keene, the Association’s field manager, said the parks and recreation department is focused on creating a long-term sustainable environment that is compatible with the historic landscape. Keene said they have done things such as get rid of “water-sucking poppies” and changing the palette to one that requires less water. The entry work done recently at La Bajada is an example of a more natural plant palette — Keene said drought-tolerant doesn’t have to mean cactus and stone rock gardens. “By clearing out the non-native plants, our natives are thriving,” Keene said. “By thinning out and opening up your garden with some pruning, you can end up with an enhanced and healthier landscape.” Tim Barrier, the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club course superintendent, said they have taken many steps toward water conservation. In 2002, they converted 30 acres of their “cool season” grass to drought-tolerant Bermuda grass; in 2009 they retrofitted their

PARKING

continued from page 1

Tim Cusac is behind the counter at Caffe Positano less than he used to be, but his Paseo Delicias shop opens at 6 a.m. and by 8:30 a.m. all of the main streets in the village are pretty much filled up. John Matty of John Matty Co. jewelry store said he can see anger in customers’ faces as they circle the blocks searching for parking that isn’t there. And when he can do a month’s worth of business with one sale, that is a problem for him, he said. Delicias is no longer open for lunch and Hug said he might as well not be open as his lunch service has dwindled. Connie McNally, who has owned The McNally Company Antiques for 24 years, said before downsizing they attempted to sublease out their corner space but nobody would go for it because of the lack of parking. The space has been empty since October 2014. As the makeup of the village has changed to include mostly banks and real estate offices, the merchants say the problem is employee-parking taking up all of the spaces. As Matty said, there are approximately 471 spaces in the village and 300 real estate agents. “I’ve been screaming over there (at the RSF Association) for 30 years,” Hug said. He said he has been told numerous times that it is not a problem and now he fears it is too late, with so many businesses gone. In 2012, the RSF Association conducted a study that concluded there is not a parking shortage in the village as a whole. The study found peak demand in the village core exceeds 90 percent, but parking is consistently available in the village perimeter. Those at the meeting said the problem then was the same that it is now, that the same people every day occupy timed spaces for extended periods of time. California Highway Patrol does the majority of parking enforcement through the Association’s overtime CHP officers. Since 2004, the Association has contracted with the CHP for supplemental services in addition to their regular enforcement. While several merchants said they never see parking enforced, Captain Mangan said that officers had issued some 550 citations this year as well as 100 verbal warnings. Their citations are up this quarter compared to the same period last year. “I don’t think a bunch of enforcement is what is called for here, it is not a visitorfriendly thing,” said Mangan. She said officers are trying to make sure businesses are being supported and it’s a fine line to walk. Penelope Bax, who has owned Rancho Santa Fe Flowers and Gifts since 1994, said she didn’t understand why it is a “fine line” if the spaces are marked with a two-hour time limit. If a car has been parked there longer than the limit, it should be ticketed. Mangan said people often tell officers they can afford to pay the $60-plus tickets and don’t bother to obey the rules. “That’s what we’re up against,” Mangan said. The merchants argued eventually people will get tired of paying the tickets and that they should still issue them.

Captain Adams-Hydar said that they need to find a solution for employee parking, an alternative place for all-day parkers to go and free up spaces in the village core. “The reality is we’re talking about bandaids to a much bigger problem,” said RSF Association board member Mike Licosati. Licosati said the problem is that the village hasn’t changed in 25 years while engineering and technology has changed dramatically. “We need to re-design the entire village — make it attractive for retailers, for pedestrian traffic, for maintaining a grocery store and post office, and a lot of the overriding goals we want to accomplish,” Licosati said. That may mean solutions such as underground parking, closing La Gracia in front of The Inn or converting Avenida de Acacias to a one-way street and installing diagonal parking spaces, a gain of about 40 parking spots. Licosati said he doesn’t know what will be the best solution but he knows the Association can’t take a piecemeal approach to solving the issue, there needs to be a more integrated plan with community engagement and visioning. He said the RSF Association is on board with a village master plan and a committee is being finalized. “It’s all achievable. There’s an entirely new regime in the Association that’s open minded, forward thinking and wants to accomplish this,” Licosati said. “I think we can do something really special with this village.” Hug said the long-range planning sounded great but wondered what they will do in the meantime as businesses continue to struggle. Merchants talked about painting two-hour green curbs in front of businesses and upping the parking enforcement. “Be careful what you ask for in this regard,” Mangan said. “I’m hearing that you want more parking enforcement and I can make that happen for you. But I’m concerned about the effect it will have on the community.” Mangan said putting more focus on parking would take officers away from targeting speeding and life and safety concerns. The merchants agreed that speeding should still be a top priority and that they need the most enforcement from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They were less worried about the weekends — they said the village is a ghost town on Saturdays and Sundays. Wellhouser, who has been in Rancho Santa Fe for 35 years, said he has heard the issue several times over the years and has heard all the pros and cons. He said the Association can work with the county to change the time limit parking areas, but they have to make sure they’re not designing something that’s completely unenforceable. He encouraged the merchants to stay involved with the Association’s planning process and provide feedback. Cusac agreed that the merchants need to ensure that their voices are heard. “We have to create a vision and promote that vision so that the stakeholders that have a say in the Association can adopt that vision and see what’s in it for them,” Cusac said. “I’m very excited about what I’m hearing from Mr. Licosati.”

irrigation system; and in 2014, they removed 18.6 acres of turf and replaced it with droughttolerant California natives The RSF Golf Club had originally planned to stretch its turf removal project over two years, doing nine holes at a time but when the club became aware of the Metropolitan Water District’s rebate program it was one of the first projects to be approved. Due to its fast action, the club received a $1.6 million rebate for the work from the MWD fund that is now exhausted. The turf removal has created a 50 percent savings on water use and the club has also implemented a 45 percent water cutback in July. Barrier said the club continues to research the possibility of bringing reclaimed water to the Ranch and exploring a desalination program for the club’s well water. Barrier said the club will “endeavor to persevere” and figure out ways to conserve and also deliver a great golf experience for residents.

Jackson Galaxy receives 2015 ‘Humane Award’ from Helen Woodward Animal Center On July 11, the Helen Woodward Animal Center presented Jackson Galaxy (animal advocate, best-selling author, luminary for the International Remember Me Thursday campaign and host of Animal Planet’s hit show “My Cat From Hell”) with the 2015 “Humane Award.” The annual award was presented in front of an “invitation-only group of special guests” at the home of hosts and long-time Helen Woodward Animal Center supporters June and Neil Ash in Rancho Santa Fe. Galaxy has over two decades of experience in the cat behavior world. He began his career in the trenches of an animal shelter, working nine years on staff at Boulder Valley Humane Society where he met Dr. Jean Hofve, a respected holistic veterinarian. Together they refined her line of holistic remedies for animals and began ‘Spirit Essences’ in 1995, using the products as part of a holistic approach to health and behavior in the shelter, as well as in Jackson’s private cat consultation business. Jackson ran both companies for 16 years and eventually moved them to Los Angeles where he became an internationally known TV host and star when Animal Planet premiered “My Cat From Hell” in 2011. The show followed Galaxy as he made house calls to pet guardians and their cats, offering clients a deeper understanding of why cats act out, with insights and exercises from his unique ‘Cat Mojo’ philosophy. Galaxy is also a celebrated author and an award-winning co-designer of the Jackson Galaxy Collection cat product-line. He published his first book (a memoir), “Cat Daddy: What the World’s Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean in 2012” and co-au-

Honoree Jackson Galaxy, 20-year HW volunteer Marie Brown with Abby, HW President/CEO Mike Arms thored with cat style expert Kate Benjamin, the book ‘Catification: Designing a Happy & Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!)’ in 2014. Upon its release, it reached #1 on the New York Times Animal Bestseller list. His innovative cat products, released in partnership with Petmate Pet Products, won the Industry Recognition Award from Pet Business Magazine and the Editor’s Choice Award from Cat Fancy, ranking the line among the year’s best products for cats. Today, Jackson is intensifying his work for animals

through the Jackson Galaxy Foundation, whose mission is to better the lives of sheltered animals by transforming the places they live and helping the people who care for them. The Humane Award is presented annually by Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO, Mike Arms, to a person or entity that has made a significant positive impact on the animal welfare world – devoting their time, energy, and resources to improving the quality of life for orphaned animals. Past recipients include Kristen Bell, Diane Keaton, Betty White, Tippi Hedren, and Linda Blair. This year’s presentation is a very personal one for Arms who championed the International Remember Me Thursday campaign. Galaxy signed on as a luminary in 2014, pledging to share the campaign’s important message on the September Day of Remembrance for orphan pets who had lost their lives without finding forever homes. His social media posts and tweets single-handedly resulted in thousands of media impressions and shares in a single day, increasing awareness and touching the lives of shelter pets waiting for rescue. He has signed on again as a luminary for the 2015 campaign. “We are honored to present this award to such a truly outstanding individual,” said Arms, “Jackson Galaxy has dedicated himself and his life to these beautiful creatures and he has our enduring respect and unwavering friendship.” For more information, visit www.animalcenter.org.

CCA grad holding garage sale fundraiser July 18 and accepting donations for the medical mission BY KAREN BILLING Allie Calderon will be traveling on a medical mission trip to Armenia with International Medical Relief (IMR) July 30 through Aug. 9. A 2011 graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, Calderon recently graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor’s degree in animal science. While at Davis, she also received her Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification and she plans to apply to nursing school in the fall. “Originally, I wanted to be a veterinarian and I worked in the vet hospital at Davis for three years. But I just realized it was not for me,” said Calderon, 21. “Being a nurse, being a patient advocate and being on the front lines of patient care was what I really wanted to do with my life.” The director of her EMT program at Davis was the one who introduced her to International Medical Relief, a non-profit that serves underserved patients through medical mission trips all over the world. This is the first time IMR is sending a medical mission to Armenia. Past missions have gone to Haiti, Central and South America, Africa, Russia and southeast Asia. Armenia peaked Calderon’s interest as she has many Armenian friends and she is interested in learning about their heritage and history, as well as giving back. As Calderon noted, not many people know about the Armenian genocide, which just marked its 100-year anniversary in April. During and after World War I an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottomans. Many countries, including the United States, do not recognize what happened as a genocide and instead refer to the events as a tragic massacre; however, the legislatures of 43 individual states have passed resolutions recognizing the genocide. “A lot of villages are still trying to recover from the decimation they experienced,” Calderon said, noting many remote mountainous villages lack access to regular healthcare. “They need help, especially medical care and for things here that we take for granted…It’s difficult for them to get something as simple as Tylenol.” On the mission, Calderon will join a team of 14 people, which includes doctors, nurses, a dentist, medical students and non-medical volunteers — she will be the only EMT. They will stay in Yerevan, the largest city in Armenia, and will take daily bus trips out to villages that lack medical infrastructure and set up patient clinics. “Usually the teams do more acute care but for the first time we will be doing chronic medical management for things like diabetes and hypertension,” Calderon said. Calderon will focus on doing general exams, wound care and patient education. “I feel prepared,” Calderon said. “In EMT training, you learn how to talk to people and what questions to ask to narrow the problem down so the doctor knows what they’re looking at.”

Allie Calderon, a recent graduate of UC Davis, will be using her EMT skills on an International Medical Relief trip to Armenia.

As International Medical Relief is wholly funded by donations, each volunteer is responsible for a portion of fundraising. To help raise money, Calderon is holding a garage sale on Saturday, July 18, beginning at 8 a.m. at 12680 Aida Street in Carmel Valley (92130). Calderon is also accepting donations for her trip. Needed items include medical supplies and toiletries, such as toothbrushes and travel size shampoo, hand-sanitizer and soap. To contact Calderon, email allie_calderon@yahoo.com.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 16, 2015 - PAGE B5

Frontline cancer: More and more Americans are cancer survivors BY DR. SCOTT LIPPMAN June was National Cancer Survivor Month, highlighted by National Cancer Survivors Day, which occurred June 7. At UCSD Moores Cancer Center, we marked this 28th annual celebration with a week’s worth of events intended to honor patients who have survived their diagnoses as well as their supportive families and friends. Happily, more people than ever took part in the festivities, which ranged from the annual Survivor Beach Stand Up Paddle competition on Mission Bay to seminars and receptions that included Julia Rowland, Ph.D., the director of the Office of Cancer Survivorship at the National Cancer Institute. The NCI defines “cancer survivor” and “cancer survivorship” based upon day of diagnosis and completion of curative therapy. It’s a change from the historical notion of cancer survivorship, which described survivorship variably as two or five years after curative therapy. Some people are uncomfortable being identified

as “cancer survivors,” but when the term first came into broad use in the 1970s and 1980s, it heralded a historical shift from the belief that cancer was a death sentence. That perception continues to change. Even as cancer rates have declined, more and more Americans are cancer survivors. In 1971, when President Nixon famously declared “war on cancer,” there were about 3 million cancer survivors in the United States. In 2015, survivors number 14.5 million, with projections of more than 19 million by 2022. The rise in cancer survivor numbers is the result of advances in early detection, supportive care and, most especially, improvements in therapy. Understanding exactly how these factors increase survivorship is critical because it can help further boost survivorship numbers. In 1996, NCI Director Richard Klausner, M.D. (now at Illumina in San Diego) created the Office of Cancer Survivorship to recognize the growing population of cancer survivors and their unique needs. Three years later, he appointed

Dr. Scott Lippman Rowland as director. During her visit to Moores, Rowland shared her vision of integrating survivorship concepts across the stages of cancer care. “I hope that by emphasizing the place of survivorship science along the translational continuum everyone from basic scientists to community-based researchers studying health disparities will see where their efforts might fit.” Rowland met with Barbara Parker and other Moores’ Athena breast health network leaders, a UC systemwide program that embraces this continuum for breast cancer.

North Coast Symphony Orchestra to perform ‘Pops Picnic II’ July 26 The North Coast Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Daniel Swem, will perform “Pops Picnic II” at 4 p.m. July 26, at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr (at Encinitas Boulevard and Balour Drive), Encinitas. From 2-4 p.m. the orchestra and the San Diego County Music Exchange will sponsor an instrument “petting zoo.” Children attending the petting zoo will receive a free ticket to the concert. The program of light classical and pops music will include “Huapango” by Jose Pablo Moncayo, selections from “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” by Howard Shore, pieces from the musical “Ragtime” by Stephen Flaherty, “The Best of the Beatles” arranged by Calvin Custer, and more.

disparities in cancer outcomes has also generated considerable interest in survivorship research. While the act provides individuals with pre-existing conditions with new ways to obtain insurance, details of pay models or methods of bundling care for survivors remain unresolved. It is anticipated that improved access to care by underserved populations will further improve survivor rates. Prospects for continued improvement in survival rates look good — at least for many cancer types. Cancer prevention efforts have made an impact. Early detection and screening, particularly with breast, genitourinary and colorectal cancers, have also contributed to improved survival rates. At Moores, we are specifically investigating new early detection advances for pancreatic, ovarian, hepatic and lung cancers. Last month, Moores researchers published study results that could significantly impact our ability to detect early stage ovarian cancer. Specifically, they were able to detect isoforms — bits of ge-

netic material that distinguish ovarian cancer cells from normal cells. New treatment strategies have also increased survivorship. Targeted molecular therapies are now part of the oncologist’s arsenal. Precision medicine, based upon a patient’s DNA, is becoming routine. Technologies such as imaging, radiation and surgery are constantly evolving, achieving better results with fewer adverse effects. In 2010, the first cancer vaccine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for advanced prostate cancer. A different vaccine is now being studied in lowrisk active surveillance (watchful waiting), an NCIsponsored, multicenter prostate trial led by Moores investigators. Other vaccines are in the pipeline for nonsmall cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma and multiple myeloma. We are vigorously pursuing other encouraging leads in immunotherapy, which seeks to bolster the See SURVIVORS, page B23

Survivorship research initially focused on the dramatic successes and cures of pediatric cancers, such as certain leukemias, but it has since broadened to adult cancers and now represents an important place on the cancer control continuum. New treatments have transformed the outcome for these cancers, creating new and unique medical needs for these survivors. “For many survivors,” said Rowland, “their biggest struggles begin post-treatment. Thus, we need to consider ways to help control some of these late-effect health outcomes.” Major cancer survivorship issues include second primary tumors, late effects of chemotherapy on the heart, bones and other organs, and impactful psychosocial issues. Much of adult survivorship research has focused on the predominant tumor groups of breast and prostate cancer, although there are top priorities for survivorship studies across all cancer types.

Jacob Surovsky, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy and a Theater Conservatory student, is producing an original play at the San Diego Fringe Festival this summer, with a preview at 7 p.m. July 19 at the school. The play, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Audience,â&#x20AC;? is a dark comedy about four stage mothers who engage in a deadly competition in hopes of winning the coveted award of best parental coordinator. Between swordfights, Satanism, and bad parenting, which mother will be the last one standing? Part of the proceeds from the preview will go to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, without whom this Special Preview would have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Audienceâ&#x20AC;? is a dark comedy about impossible to stage. Tickets for competitive stage mothers played by Wendy Waddell, the preview are $5 for students, Julie Sachs and Lena Jones. Courtesy photo $15 for adults. Tickets available at canyoncrestfoundation.org. The show will be playing at the RAW Space Off Broadway in downtown San Diego, 923 1st Ave. Showdates are: 6 p.m. July 23; 1 p.m. July 25; 9 p.m. July 26; 10:30 p.m. July 28; and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1. Admission to the San Diego Fringe Festival is $5 in the form of a Fringe Tag, Ticket Price is $10. For information, visit mmita.weebly.com or facebook.com/mymothersintheaudience. Jacob has been working on his play since February 2014. He submitted the script to the San Diego Playwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project Plays By Young Writers Contest in June 2014, in hopes it would be chosen to receive a full professional production. His play was selected as a finalist, placing it in the top 21 out of 581 submissions. However, because of the dark comedy, onstage violence, and adult language in the play, it was unable to be considered for a full production. After his experience in the 2014 San Diego International Fringe Festival as a street performer in a student-made busking group, Jacob decided to produce his play at the 2015 San Diego Fringe Festival, where edgy shows are the norm. The show was accepted into the Festival, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Audienceâ&#x20AC;? is now on track to becoming reality.

Dewhurst now contributes some of that knowledge to his readers sharing; stories about the art of building, the business aspects of construction, interviews with building professionals and local history, all in a series of columns scheduled throughout the year. Pancho Dewhurst took the reins at GDC

Construction after a long apprenticeship with his father, George Dewhurst. A lifetime in the local construction industry taught Pancho that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a general contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary role is to assemble and manage your team on behalf of each client and their needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building the best team includes establishing purchasing power, making solid, long-term relationships with vendors and subcontractors, and establishing an experienced supervisory team. These are the primary tools of the general contractor,â&#x20AC;? Dewhurst said. In his new column, Dewhurst will enlighten and inspire readers interested in developing a building team and share his knowledge in the art of building.

Lux Art Institute announces eclectic line-up for season nine BY DIANE Y. WELCH The Lux Art Institute recently announced a diverse lineup of artist residencies for season nine, 2015-16. Introduced by Lux Founding Director Reesey Shaw — who commented that revealing the artists is her favorite task — the five artists represent variety both stylistically and geographically. • Max Earnst Greis (in studio Sept. 12-Oct. 3, on exhibit through Oct. 31), a New York native, creates photo collage and acrylic landscapes reminiscent of Dutch Old Master works akin to those of Bruegel, yet influenced by Dada surrealism. He overlays video footage onto the surface of the work, creating a kinetic image that morphs the scene, making “a living, breathing landscape,” said Shaw. On his journey by train from New York to California, Greis, an MFA graduate from Hunter College, New York, will videotape the landscape and use it to create pieces during his five week residency. • Charles Moxon (in studio Nov. 14-Dec. 5, on exhibit through Jan. 2, 2016), a British artist educated at Camberwell College of Art, is a master portraitist and is the youngest Lux resident artist to date, born in London in 1990. His works “call to mind Vermeer,” said Shaw. Moxon photographs his subjects and then re-creates their images in the style of 17th century European Old Masters, with painstaking precision. The result is a work of art that speaks openly to the viewer, creating an intimate connection. Moxon often calls on performers to pose for him and during his residency, he will seek out local actors and create their portraits. • Sophia Narrett (in studio Jan. 16-Feb. 13, on exhibit through March 12, 2016), works in the fiber arts realm creating embroidered paintings. She was educated in Rhode Island, and is an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Her current work provides a setting for what she terms “honest fantasy,” said Shaw. Strongly influenced by the 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch, Narrett’s brilliantly colored and heavily textured works that re-create bucolic scenes “envelop her own experience as well as societal fantasies about desire, identity and gender,” as noted in her artist’s statement. During her stay, Narret — who uses reality TV shows as inspiration — will create a series of embroidery paintings and will sculpt polymer clay statues to augment her fiber works. • Margaret Griffith (in studio March 26-April 16, on exhibit through May 28, 2016), reinterprets urban and residential landscapes, specifically residential gates. A native of North Carolina, now living in Los Angeles — with an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan — Griffith photographs the often-ornate gate designs, then reinterprets them into delicate white paper cut-outs and large-scale aluminum installations, cut using a highpowered waterjet process. She uses the gate as a metaphor for urban boundaries and as a symbol of both safety and isolation. During her stay, Griffith will construct large metal installations using gates in the local neighborhoods as inspiration and will also gather audio recordings of the gates’ owners documenting how they feel about their gates and what they mean to them. • Rounding out the season is Texas-based Angela Kallus (in studio June 11-July 9, on exhibit through July 30, 2016). Her current work uses rose motifs that “at once embrace and upend traditional symbols of femininity and romance,” not-

ed Shaw. An MFA alumna of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Kallus creates thousands of brightly hued rosettes by filling a cake decorator’s funnel with thick acrylic paint, which she then pipes into forms much like decorating a wedding cake. The delicate rosettes are hardened, then thoughtfully positioned in a variety of patterns on canvas and sprayed to create a non-reflective surface, creating the impression that the rosettes are made of wax. During her residency, Kallus will complete one largescale and four small-scale panels, creating thousands of perfectly formed rosettes in the process. Lux’s final artist-in-residence for season eight, 2014-15, is Squeak Carnwath, whose work will be on exhibit through Aug. 8. The Lux Art Institute is at 1550 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

To Your Health: Keeping things safe in the sun: Five tips for summer health awareness BY JOHN DAWKINS, MD Sunny summer days are made for playing outside, and San Diego is the ideal spot for all kinds of sports and activities in and out of the water. While staying active is great for your health, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand the dangers of overdoing it in the summer heat. Overexertion, exercising in weather youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not accustomed to navigating, and dehydration set up the perfect storm for heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Keep summer fun safe with these tips to protect yourself and your family. 1. Stay hydrated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to work out in hot, humid weather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even to push yourself a bit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you are smart about it. That starts with being well-hydrated. Physiologically, proper hydration can help your body adapt to the heat and keep you protected from heat stress. Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercise. Drinking a cool beverage will help cool your body as well, especially your core. Avoid ice-cold drinks, which can cause stomach cramps. If you are on a fluid-restricted diet or take diuretics, consult with your doctor before increasing fluids, especially if you are over 65. 2. Choose the best fluids for your activity. As a general rule, if you are exercising for less than an hour, water is probably as good as anything else for both hydration and performance. If your activity stretches beyond an hour, there is some evidence that sports rehydration drinks may be a better option. These drinks provide both carbohydrates and electrolytes, which can aid in fluid absorption and help your performance. Be aware that drinking too much water can actually lower your blood sodium levels, which can be dangerous. Though this is uncommon, if you are drinking a lot of water and sweating heavily, consider switching to a sports drink to help maintain your electrolytes. Avoid caffeinated beverages, which will not hydrate you

as well as those without caffeine.

3. Protect yourself from the sun. Use plenty of sunscreen when you are exercising outdoors to protect your skin and avoid sunburn, which can increase your skin temperature. Reapply sunscreen often, especially if you are sweating or in the water. If possible, wear a hat to keep your head cool. Keeping the sun off your face can also help you feel cooler. Plan outdoor activities in the early morning or evening, avoiding the hottest times of day. On very hot days, consider exercising indoors in an air-conditioned environment. If you have difficulty breathing, feel lightheaded or nauseated, develop a headache or feel your heart pounding, find a cool area, rehydrate and rest. 4. Know the warning signs of heat-related illness. Two of the most common heat-related problems are heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses significant amounts of water and sweat. Symptoms may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness or dizziness, headache, fatigue and nausea or vomiting. If any of these occur, get the person out of the sun and into a cool environment, and rehydrate with a cool beverage. If symptoms persist, seek medical care. Heat stroke is much more serious and results when your body cannot control its rising temperature. It can come on very suddenly and may cause death or organ damage without immediate medical attention. Heat stroke symptoms may include body temperature above 104 degrees, dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness. If heat stroke occurs, the first step â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even before calling 911 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is to lower the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body temperature as quickly as possible. Put the person in an ice bath if available, or place ice packs or cold, wet towels around the body. Then call 911 and try to keep the person cool until help arrives.

5. Pay special attention to children. Be especially careful when your children are outdoors in the summer heat. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as adept at regulating temperature as those of adults, and kids may be so engrossed in their activities that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize they are becoming overheated. Follow the same recommendations for hydration and staying cool as with adults, and keep a close eye on them.

The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is home to mixed conifer, oak and cedar forest, native grassland and seasonal ponds. The woodland transitions to desert chaparral on the rugged, drier, east side of the ridge. This extensive montane ecosystem supports many sensitive plant and animal species.

A clear day may even reveal the ocean beyond the rolling expanse of Santa Ysabel Valley. The Five Oaks Trail is a beautiful retreat from the main route, with examples of each of the oak species that give the trail its name. The striking entry monument was designed by architect James Hubbell and constructed by dedicated volunteers. Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is accessible from Farmer Road north of Julian.

A family affair: La Jolla couple bring daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play to Fringe Festival BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Now in its third year, the San Diego Fringe Festival, coming July 23-Aug. 2, bills itself as bringing â&#x20AC;&#x153;the beautiful, the bizarre, and the unexpected to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest City.â&#x20AC;? Most shows run under an hour, cost $10 or less, and represent a potpourri of performance types in various venues. Included this year are two plays presented by Dori Salois and Robert Salerno, a La Jolla couple who have been producing offbeat, pop-up performances under their nonprofit Vantage Theatre for over 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing back â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Be Here Now, The Journey of Ram Dass,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which was a big hit last year at the Ocean Beach Playhouse,â&#x20AC;? Salois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But also last year, we saw this funny, smart, passionate piece in Santa Barbara that we thought would be perfect for the Fringe Festival. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;So Small A Thing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it happens to be written by our daughter, Dominique Salerno.â&#x20AC;? Born and raised in La Jolla, Dominique got her start at The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, where she was one of drama teacher Courtney Flanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corps of ardent performa-philes known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2006, when Dom went to Princeton, there were nine of Flanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids there,â&#x20AC;? Salois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the next two years, there were 15 more. It was like their own little theater department! One of the faculty referred to Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that performing arts school in La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!â&#x20AC;? Dominique, who has been racking up credits as actor, director and playwright, just received her MFA from the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. She might have performed in her play here, but instead sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opening in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love and Information,â&#x20AC;? the inaugural production at

A.C.T.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Strand Theater, by British playwright Caryl Churchill. (Small-world footnote: Set design is by Robert Brill, longtime scenic designer for La Jolla Playhouse, and LJPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Artist in Residence in 2013.) Dominiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents have amassed their own credits, though her proud father says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dom whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the local legend. For years, I was known only as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dominiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And she still has fans here who follow her on Facebook.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad,â&#x20AC;? Vantage Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director Salerno, is a retired surgeon who has done quite a bit of writing and directing, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cadenza: Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Year,â&#x20AC;? presented at Balboa Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Timken Museum, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tschaikovsky: Child of Glass,â&#x20AC;? for the Tijuana art center, CECUT. Domâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Vantage Theatre founder/ executive director Salois, also finds time for acting, most recently in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calendar Girlsâ&#x20AC;? at Swedenborg Hall. The two are thrilled with their cast of two for â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Small a Thingâ&#x20AC;?: Jennie Olson Six, an accomplished UCSD Theater Department grad, and John Anderson, an actor who is also production manager for San Diego REP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love the play as much as we do, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enjoying rehearsals as if I were an audience member,â&#x20AC;? Salois exulted. What is the play about? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new spin on the ancient story of Jason and Medea,â&#x20AC;? Salois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trapped in a stuck elevator in the afterlife, grappling with issues of love and loyalty that still resonate in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world.â&#x20AC;? For Fringe Festival information, see sdfringe.org.

Jennie Olson Six and John Anderson perform in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;So Small A Thing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Dominique Salerno, directed by Robert Salerno. The play, inspired by a line from Euripides: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is love so small a pain, do you think, to a woman?â&#x20AC;? is part of the 2015 San Diego Fringe Festival, July 23-Aug. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SO SMALL A THINGâ&#x20AC;? * Nine performances, July 23-Aug. 2, Swedenborg Hall, 1531 Tyler St., San Diego 92103.

Man, Woman of the Year raise funds for leukemia fight SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has, since its 1949 inception, raised more than $1 billion for research to fight blood cancers. At least $10 million is currently invested in research in San Diego. Annually, in communities across the country, dynamic, passionate leaders engage in 10-week fundraising competitions to earn “Man and Woman of the Year” titles. Competing in honor of local blood cancer survivors, the Boy and Girl of the Year, competitors amass votes — one for each dollar raised. At the San Diego/Hawaii chapter’s recent “Mission Possible” Grand Finale Gala at the Estancia La Jolla, three candidates exceeded the $50,000 See FIGHT, page B23

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 16, 2015 - PAGE B19

Ally Deremer, Canyon Crest Academy’s two-sport star, embraces leadership role BY GIDEON RUBIN Ally Deremer has been playing sports competitively since she was practically a toddler, already making her mark in basketball and softball before finishing middle school. But it was during a trip to Hawaii with her Solana Beach Cats club team that she became a different kind of athlete. Just months ahead of her freshman year at Canyon Crest Academy, she helped the Cats’ seventh-/eighth-grade team win a championship in its first appearance at the Maui Summer Classic Basketball Tournament. At that tournament, Ally went from being just another talented player who puts points on the board — in an area where there are many others — to a leader with the ability to inspire. “Being a leader isn’t always about telling people what to do,” she said. “A lot of the time it’s leading by example. “There’s a lot of moments in basketball where making a silent or (seemingly) unnoticeable play — or even a noticeable play on defense or offense — helps get your team pumped up.” It’s been impossible not to notice the difference her leadership has meant to CCA. Ally, who will be a junior in the fall, played a key role in leading an impressive Ravens turnaround. Just two years removed from a disastrous 1-25 season, she has helped restore order to a program that as recently as the 2008-09 won the San Diego Section Division III championship. As a freshman, she averaged 8.1 points (second on the team) and led the team with 3.4 assists as the Ravens went 11-16, culminating with a Division II playoff appearance. Last season, she led the team averaging 14 points and eight assists as the Ravens went 12-12, culminating with its first playoff win in five years. “It was definitely a positive change for our program and it was really good to be part of the positive change in where the program is going,” she said. Ally and the Ravens may have just been getting warmed up. They return as a young team that had no seniors last season.

Ally Deremer’s leadership has meant a great deal to CCA. Photos by Kailey Coronado “Even though we’re a young team, we’re still able to bring out the focus and intensity and just play a better level of basketball,” Ally said. She has been instrumental in elevating the Ravens’ play, said coach Scott Tucker, noting that his star point guard has already attracted interest from several

college coaches. “She’s a very well-rounded player,” Tucker said. “She’s quick, she’s aggressive on defense, she’s got extremely good ball-handing skills and she shoots the (3-pointer) really well.” But Tucker acknowledged that she’s more likely to land a scholarship in another sport. Ally has also emerged as a standout defensive midfielder on the school’s lacrosse team. She was among the team’s leaders in goals (28) and assists (20) as the Ravens earlier this year went to the San Diego Section semifinals. The Ravens lost to eventual champion La Costa Canyon. She says playing two sports helps keep her in shape throughout the year, noting that endurance, footwork and hand-eye coordination are among the key elements in both See DEREMER, page B22

A Tree House Finds its Roots My husband Charlie grew up in The Bronx in New York, no doubt surrounded by brick and concrete, and one day he told me that he had always dreamed of having a tree house. I am happy to say that we are ﬁnally giving him that dream. Thanks to the great work of the designers and landscapers at www.naturedesigns.net, my family and I have decided to transition our backyard to make it completely sustainable and eco-friendly: a

real life tree house! We realized that living in Rancho Santa Fe is such a beautiful privilege that we wanted to give back to not only the community, but the environment as well. Over the coming months, we will be improving our irrigation system to maximum efﬁciency while creating a colorful yet lowwater landscape. We want to surround ourselves with beautiful, native, drought resistant plants, while maintaining an outdoor living space that welcomes guests and dogs alike. We will be improving the soil by adding compost and mulch to retain moisture. These are just a few of the additions and changes we will be making to our yard, and we welcome others in the community to follow in our footsteps. Below are some tips for making your yard sustainable and environmentally happy. Irrigation -- Monitor water usage weekly and check the

irrigation system regularly for water run-off, leaks, and overspray. -- Program three start times per watering day. Run zone should only run as long as the water soaks into the soil. Once run-off occurs, stop watering. Wait 1-2 hours, then run that zone again. Then repeat. This allows the water to saturate deeper into the soil and reduces runoff. Plants are able to grow roots into the deeper moisture which strengthens them. --Once established, native and drought tolerant plants will need very little irrigation. Make sure to adjust according to their needs. -- Adjust timing seasonally to account for heat and cooler temperatures, and dormant months. -- Use a Smart controller to make programming easier to adjust. -- Consider installing a greywater system. Pools -- Add a pool cover if possible to reduce

evaporation. -- Install solar heating. -- Replace inefficient and loud single speed pool pumps with high-efficiency, quiet, variable speed pumps. -- Convert to a salt system, UV, ionic, or oxidation water quality system. Planting Beds -- Space plants appropriately according to their mature size to reduce pruning labor and green waste. -- Let the leaves drop and stay in place or compost them and return them to the planting bed so they can return nutrients to the soil. -- Choose drought tolerant and disease resistant plants.

sports. She’s managed to juggle the demands of two competitive sports while maintaining a GPA above 4.0 while taking several advanced placement classes. “Time management has definitely has been one of the most important things,” she said. “In some ways, having a sport every day helps me manage my time, because I know I have to get things done. I go to practice, I come home and I do my homework; everything’s on a set schedule, so I kind of get my work done better that way.” Ally has gotten the job done despite some adversity, Tucker said, observing that she plays without complaint, whether she’s facing nearly constant double-teams or going to practice with a nagging foot injury. “That tells me a lot about her character,” Tucker said. “She’s got a rock-solid character.” Ally credits her family with instilling that character in her. Her brother, Andrew Deremer, who graduated from CCA last month, is a former multi-sport athlete (basketball, soccer, track and cross country). “He’s a good role model to have,” she said. “He’s really inspired me.” Deremer has inspired teammates, too, Tucker said. “She’s very quiet, but she can communicate whenever she feels it’s necessary,” he said. One moment when she felt it was necessary occurred earlier this year, when a rough patch prompted her to call a players-only closed-door meeting. “She just reaffirmed that it’s not about individuals, it’s about the team,” said Tucker, who didn’t learn the specifics of the meeting until later in the season. For her part, Ally has embraced the leadership role that she said is a natural fit for the position she plays. “That’s kind of like the commander on the court,” she said. “Being a point guard on the floor is kind of like being a coach on the floor. “You have to be vocal. That’s how you help everyone.”

Let summer spices help keep you cool as a cucumber BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “Much virtue in herbs, little in men.” — Benjamin Franklin

The Kitchen Shrink

You can beat the summer heat and stay calm, cool and collected with a handful of handpicked herbs and spices following the ancient healing food principles of India. Here’s an A-(yurvedic) list of the top spices to keep you refreshed and exhilarated throughout the sticky summer months.

Mint Condition Peppermint, a hybrid of winter mint and spearmint, is one of the most revered herbs since classical times for its culinary and medicinal attributes. The Romans believed that eating mint would bolster intelligence, while the mere scent of these luscious leaves would stem a temper tantrum. The menthol in peppermint cools the palate and jazzes up everything from tabboulis, pilafs, lamb dishes, fruit salads and gelatos to thirst-quenching lemonades, mojitos or iced green teas. Or chew some fresh sprigs for a quick pick-me-up. As an added boon, this high-fiber, antioxidant powerhouse with a motherlode of vitamins A, C and B2, along with bone-boosting calcium, copper and magnesium, has been linked to controlling bad cholesterol (along with bad breath), heart rate and blood pressure, easing irritable colons and sunburns, while soothing mind, body and spirit with its aromatic essential oils. Pod Cast Cardamom is one of the world’s priciest spices, behind only saffron and vanilla bean. Known globally as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom was held in high esteem by Ayurvedic healers as an aphrodisiac, teeth whitener, sensuous perfume and relief from gluttony. Indigenous to south India and a member of the ginger family, there are three varieties — green, black and Madagascar. Cardamom maintains its expressive, aromatic flavor and scent when bought in pods, which are then peeled and discarded in favor of the tiny seeds inside. Unleash the intense flavor of the seeds by grinding them fresh with mortar and pestle. A staple spice in Indian cuisine, especially curries and with lentils, cardamom perks up a cup of joe, and gives an exotic accent to smoothies, pie crusts, strudels and fresh berries, as well as rice dishes, chicken and duck. A pinch is plenty for this potent spice, which is also recognized as a great digestive aid, detoxifier, remedy for coughs and colds, swollen joints and even hiccups. Go for the Gold Saffron’s etymology is from the Arabic word “zafaran,” which translates as “yellow.” Whether from Iran or the plains of Spain, these handpicked crimson strands — stigmas from the flower of the crocus plant (80,000 blossoms produce a mere 16 ounces) — are the caviar of spices, carrying an exorbitant price tag ranging from $600 to $2,000 a pound. And worth every penny. They tint every dish a glorious golden hue from paella, risotto and bouillabaisse to biscotti and crème brûlée, in addition to infusing them with a sensual perfume, and exotic musky flavors of honey and the sea. A Herculean healing spice, saffron has an astronomical amount of manganese to regulate blood sugar levels, boost calcium absorption, and regenerate tissues. It also has a load of iron, immune-boosting vitamin C, stress-busting vitamin Bs, and fluid-balancing potassium. This precious spice has been used as a cure-all for everything from heartburn and insomnia to menstrual cramps and low libido. Cook’s tip: Toast saffron strands over a low flame to release rich floral aromas. Dried strands stored in a cool dark place will keep their flavor for two years.

garlic as a pickling spice for cucumbers, green tomatoes, peppers and seasonal vegetables. High in fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, niacin, copper, folic acid and essential oils, dill has been found to lower cholesterol levels, halt colds, the flu and inflammation, boost eye and skin health, and lower blood sugar levels in diabetics.

MINTY CUCUMBER GOAT CHEESE SALAD 1 pound unpeeled, thinskinned cucumbers (Persian, Japanese or English), cubed 12 mint leaves, sliced thinly 1 1/2 teaspoons minced shallots 1/4 pound goat feta, crumbled For the dressing 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 teaspoon honey Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste Method: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, mint and shallots. In a small bowl, add dressing ingredients, whisk to emulsify, and add salt and pepper to taste. Toss with cucumber and top with feta.

In a Pickle Whether fresh or dried, dill is a savory perennial herb that’ll cool your heels while dialing up the flavors of grilled fish, chicken and vegetables, potato and other picnic salads, dips and frittatas. Botanically, this delicate, feathery herb, a cousin to parsley, cumin, fennel and caraway, adds a grassy, anise-like zing to hot and cold dishes, and Minty Cucumber Goat Cheese Salad uses blends beautifully with allspice, ginger and mint to pep up the flavor.

Willis Allen lists remarkable Wallace Cunningham-designed home in La Jolla Willis Allen Real Estate, the premier luxury brokerage in San Diego, has just listed an extraordinary home in La Jolla, which was designed by local architect Wallace Cunningham, who is known for designs that are as sculptural as they are architectural. The modern residence was commissioned by Paul Saltman – former Professor of Biology at the University of California, San Diego and an internationally renowned nutrition expert – and his wife Barbara. The home is affectionately known as “Brushstroke,” and was featured prominently in a 2006 issue of Architectural Digest. The 15-year-old property is located on a corner lot in the prestigious La Jolla Farms neighborhood and is gracefully set atop a beautiful 1.3 acre ocean view site. It features an extraordinary rimless black-bottom swimming pool faced in mosaic tile, which becomes a dramatic cascade descending from the floor elevation 14 feet into the surrounding gardens. The open and airy home, which is listed for $12,700,000, boasts 5,000 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms and four bathrooms. It is resplendent with interesting lines and angles – including the bowed roof, curved swimming pool and winding walls. The omnipresence of glass invites the outdoors in, creating an airy retreat. “This home is simply spectacular,” says Willis Allen’s Bob Andrews who is listing Brushstroke. “I am honored to have the opportunity to market this special property for the Saltmans. It is a simple, yet elegant, space that showcases

Sadly, the event’s honorary chairwoman, philanthropist Sally Thornton, succumbed to an extended illness on the morning of the gala. Her chairmanship was recognized, but the family had asked that news of her passing not be announced there, to avoid distracting from the candidates’ efforts.

body’s innate defense mechanisms to destroy or disable cancer cell growth and is achieving long-term survival and cure in very advanced and previously incurable stages of melanoma, lung cancer and certain other cancers. With the number of cancer survivors growing, Rowland stresses the importance for survivors and their health care teams to create a “plan for success” based upon a rehabilitative model to deliver post-cancer care. The model should include both primary care to optimize recovery and lifestyle interventions, such as exercise and nutrition that can reduce subsequent cancer risk and recurrence. Cancer Survivors Month is coming to an end, but not our story. I would like to congratulate and recognize all cancer survivors and their caregivers. I look forward to seeing them — and many more — in the future. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu.
