RSF Fire enforces weed abatement

State ‘unlikely’ to endorse Cardiff project

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — While the heavy Southern California rains helped with drought conditions and filled local reservoirs, new weed and grass growth presents a future fire hazard. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District is urging residents to tackle vegetation abatement and defensible space for fire safety. According to Fire Chief Fred Cox, the current fuel levels are above what they usually are for this time of year. However, this moisture will dry out once the rains come to an official end. “These dry grasses can spread a wildfire quickly into dense native vegetation, our eucalyptus forests and ornamental landscapes which is a huge concern to us,” Cox said. “The Fire District has made it a point to meet with every HOA in the fire district, including the Rancho Santa Fe Association, to discuss expectations and concerns pertaining to vegetation management. These meetings are an opportunity to build rapport with the numerous HOAs and to educate them on the importance of defensible space and the maintenance of common HOA areas.” Cox said the fire district is readying to send its “annual weed abatement mailer” to district residents highlighting the requirements of defensible space as well as how to safeguard your home. “The Fire Prevention Bureau will also be driving throughout the district and looking at all properties for potential hazards,” Cox CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S “Volta” comes to the Big Top at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

ENCINITAS — Officials with the Department of State Parks have informed the Cardiff School District that they are unlikely to support the proposed campus redesign and companion boundary adjustment to George Berkich Park. They also signaled that the project would likely be subject to a more extensive environmental review process than previously foreseen, something that opponents to the project have called for. In the email dated March 26, a supervisor from the state parks’ Office of Grants and Local Services outlined three concerns raised by the National Parks Service with the school district’s proposal, which calls for the construction of a multi-purpose room that would open to the field and terrace-style concrete seating on a section of the park, which the district owns. The district needs the approval of both the state and National Park Service because of a 1993 federal grant agreement that requires the park remain in perpetuity unless the agencies endorse a boundary change. That agreement requires the district to replace the lost park land with a corresponding amount of land. School district officials have proposed redrawing the boundary to include the school’s parking lot, which would double in size in the new plan, as well as openTURN TO CARDIFF ON 6

Get ready for kitten season By Staff

RANCHO SANTA FE — With the beginning of spring, flower fields are causing newsworthy traffic congestion and flower companies can be seen making deliveries all around town. But Tuesday morning, a tiny kitten was the first springtime delivery to make its way to Helen Woodward Animal Center. Hidden near the wild weeds of a parking lot, the fuzzy baby, named Gardenia Greg by the center’s veterinary team, is a reminder that the blossoming months are also the beginning of Kitten Season and residents may find these tiny new “blooms” in easy-to-miss and dangerous places around their homes. The months of April through the summer are known as Kitten Season, a time when shelters see the largest influx of orphan

kittens come through their doors. Indicating the start of that busy season, a caring animal-lover arrived at Helen Woodward Animal Center looking for a safe haven for a tiny 6-week-old kitten. “We are very grateful to Mr. Martindale for the effort he put in to find this kitten,” said Supervisor Tracy Woodworth. “Stray mother cats seek warm spots to have their litters but often the litters end up in dangerous spots and their stories can have tragic endings. “Cars parked outside, garden sheds, garages, attics, and even outdoor barbecues, are all very common spots for stray kittens to hide and they can be easily overlooked. We ask the community to check these spots regularly during Kitten Season.”

Airport lawsuit settlement reached by Carlsbad, county By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — An agreement between the city of Carlsbad and county of San Diego announced on March 27 puts to bed a lawsuit regarding the environmental impact report over the McClellan-Palomar Airport Master Plan. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the plan on Oct. 10, 2018, which reclassified the airport from a B-II to a D-III to handle larger jets, repositioned the taxiway and runway and also lengthened the runway by up to 800 feet. On March 27, the City Council voted to approve the settlement 4-1, with Councilwoman Cori Schumacher voting no. The council discussed the settlement for threeand-a-half hours in a closed session before announcing a deal had been reached. However, the resident group Citizens for a Friendly Airport still has an active suit, independent of the city, against the county. “The county of San Diego is pleased to have reached an agreement with the city of Carlsbad regarding the McClellan-Palomar Airport Master Plan,” said Jessica Northup, communications officer for the county. “The airport is a valuable part of the Carlsbad and North County communities it serves. We look forward to collaborating with the city and implementing the Master Plan to enhance airport operations in the future.” Also, the county did not

respond to an email request for comment by deadline. Peter Kirsch of Kaplan, Kirsch and Rockwell law firm in Denver and whom the city hired last year, said the deal includes a number of objectives such as creating a better working relationship between the two entities and avoiding a costly legal process. “What’s really important to understand … is it’s designed to change the relationship between the county and the city with regard to Palomar Airport issues,” Kirsch said. “And in particular to establish a permanent mechanism of dialogue between the council and supervisors, and staff of the city and staff of the county.” The airport master plan

has long been a divisive issue for residents here, along with others in the flight path in Vista and San Marcos. Many of those complaints revolve around noise and voluntary night flying, which the city has no power to enforce. The Federal Aviation Administration takes control over planes in the air, but residents’ complaints have not been addressed to their satisfaction. As part of the deal, the county will install two more noise meters. Kirsch said the agreement establishes permanent quarterly meetings to keep city staff updated on airport issues. In addition, the county will give the city 30 days to comment, reaction and feedback on any major development plans at the airport.

Another aspect, perhaps one of the biggest, is the county is committed to all of the mitigation set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Program set in the final EIR, plus in addition to those required by law, Kirsch said the county will include all mitigation measures in responses to comments in the EIR. “It’s a relatively short agreement, but it sets forth a number of areas in which the county and city will cooperate on issues having to do with mitigation and noise mitigation, in particular,” Kirsch added. One hurdle over the years has been with the FAA, Mayor Matt Hall said. With the deal, his expectation is to work collaboratively with

the county to approach the FAA, especially with flight paths and noise. Hall said he’s happy with the deal because it covers other issues such as noise, hours of operations and more defined flights paths, which were not part of the lawsuit, he said. And with the election of Jim Desmond and Nathan Fletcher to the board, Hall said they bring a different perspective to the issues surrounding the airport. “I think the settlement was a good thing,” he added. “FAA issues, without us both working together and being collaborative, we’d never stand a chance of getting those changed. If we work as a team, I think some of those might be accomplished.” Kirsch said the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee will be a conduit of communication as the board recommends actions to the county and Board of Supervisors. The PAAC was against reclassifying the airport. The City Council also nominated Winthrop Cramer as the Carlsbad representative to the PAAC last week. Schumacher, meanwhile, has long been against the airport master plan and wary the county would expand the airport into something resembling John Wayne Airport in Orange County. She motioned, which was passed, for the council to bring the issue back so the council and residents could have a conversation regarding the deal.

Fire destroys several Oceanside buildings, homes OCEANSIDE — Officials continued to investigate a fire that demolished a house and two apartment buildings in Oceanside on April 6, displacing dozens of people. The first report of the fire came in a little after 2 p.m., Oceanside Police Lt. Kedrick Sadler said. It originated in a single-family home with two dwelling units built as additions on Division Street west of Brooks Street, according to the Oceanside Fire Department. Two people suffered burns and were treated at UC San Diego Medical Center, according to the fire department. A third person was also assessed for burns but didn't have to be taken to a hospital. One firefighters also suffered a minor injury but didn't need to be hospitalized, the department said. The flames were out by about 3:45 p.m., but firefighters weren’t able to save the buildings, which were both “basically destroyed,” according to Sadler. At one point, every single Oceanside Fire Department engine and ladder truck, as well as three of five ambulances, were working on the fire, the Fire Department said. — City News Service

Utility troubles could be a consumer opportunity

Police interactions should not be deadly By Alan Geraci

I was a trained prosecutor earlier in my legal career. I start there because I had the privilege of receiving much of the same “use of force” training that police officers receive. Every police officer and most prosecutors are trained on the “use of force continuum,” from mere physical presence, to verbal commands, to hand control, to baton and chemical force, and lastly, deadly force. Every situation is different; Every police officer is different. Escalated interactions take seconds for trained officers to react correctly so training and experience are key. Additionally, district attorneys and internal affairs currently investigate officer misuse of force allegations. Invariably, they rely on evidence and testimony from other officers who have an

interest in protecting their colleagues. This testimony often contradicts itself or lacks logic, or both. Without independent investigations or citizen review, conflicts of interest often exist when a district attorney prosecutes an officer whose cooperation may be needed in another case. Thus, officer testimony is frequently used to substantiate the claims that deadly force was reasonable and necessary. Victims end up taking the blame and then are further pathologized, dehumanized, and vilified by the local media. The public comes to see the victims, rather than the overreacting officer, as culpable for their own deaths. Our communities are now replete with examples of excessive force cases. Citizens of color are statistically more likely to have esca-

lated violence and brutality. This is also statistically true in our north county communities. Police officers must avoid using deadly force whenever possible. Common sense, right? But, right now, officers can legally use deadly force and kill someone even when they have other alternatives. AB 392: The California Act to Save Lives, introduced this year by Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), will make clear that police officers should only use deadly force when they do not have other options. I support this legislation and urge you to make voice your support to our legislators when this bill arrives to the floor for a vote. Alan Geraci is a consumer attorney and former candidate for State Assembly.

Trees in Leucadia: From 839 to zero By Leah Bissonette

Late in the day on Monday, March 25, the City issued its report for the new, temporary Streetscape plan. Many of us read it and wept. On Tuesday, the mayor gave the State of the City report and proclaimed that Streetscape would provide 839 new trees along the Highway 101 corridor. No weeping there. Perhaps she hadn’t read the report. On Wednesday, the City staff presented the same report. Impact on existing trees will be “minimized” as part of the plan and there will be no new trees, just parking and a pedestrian path in the dirt right-of-way between Highway 101 and the railroad. Even the mayor seemed surprised. She asked, “Zero trees?” Yes, no trees as part of this temporary plan, was the response from staff. At first blush you would hope that the “no trees” thing was because the City wouldn’t want to plant trees as part of a temporary plan, only to have to rip them out

and move them later for a permanent plan. But no, that was not the reason. Because at that point Tony Kranz piped in to say that the railroad preferred not to have trees in the right of way as they could fall and be a problem for the railroad. Tony is the City’s representative to NCTD and he calmly stated that this is always the policy. This is always the policy, no surprise. Hmm. So somebody knew about this policy long before Streetscape was initially planned? Or why didn’t they know? So why has every picture of the proposed Streetscape showed a beautiful tree canopy with many trees planted in the railroad right-of-way on the east side of Highway 101? Why was it clearly stated in the EIR and in other presentations by the City that, while the City couldn’t plant additional trees on the west side because of the existing businesses and the need for wider sidewalks, there would be an abundance — in fact, according

to the mayor 839 new trees — on the east side of Highway 101? OK, things change. But this is not a small change. This means that Highway 101 will be the barren industrial parking lot strip that many have worried it would become for the last ten years of the fight over Streetscape. Now the mayor knows that the new plan involves ZERO new trees and minimization of the impact on old trees. A net loss of trees. Indeed, the whole City Council had it stated baldly to them — NO NEW TREES. And, the discussion made it clear that while the new plan is temporary, it will likely last for several years. Indeed, the mayor herself noted that temporary government plans often last for many years. And yet, your City Council blithely approved the new plan. They’ve finally done it. They have paved paradise to put up a parking lot. Oh, I guess if it’s a dirt parking lot that’s ok.

og your memory back just nine years to 2010 and you’ll find California’s Big Three privately owned electric utilities spending more than $70 million — $46 million from Pacific Gas & Electric Co. alone — trying to pass a ballot proposition making it almost impossible to create new publicly owned utilities. Imagine the outcry today if PG&E and its allies at Southern California Edison Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric Co. spent that kind of money on a measure designed to keep their monopolies intact. All three have been implicated in the ignition of several of the largest wildfires in California history, causing tens of billions of dollars in damage to their customers. So the outcry against any repeat of the big-money utility company effort to pass the 2010 Proposition 16 — it failed — would come not only from consumers, but also from victims of fires admittedly started by the electric firms’ equipment, who see any utility spending for political donations or lobbying as essentially theft. It would take money away from the cash reservoir available to compensate victims. The utility company effort of nine years ago aimed to require a twothirds public vote before any new Community Choice Aggregations could be started. Such a huge margin would be virtually unattainable, the utilities knew. If that measure had passed, it’s doubtful places as diverse as Marin County and Manhattan Beach, San Francisco and Simi Valley would have the

FRAUD

FARM? Airstream Innovations CEO accused of fraud by shareholders

By Jordan P. Ingram

SOLANA BEACH — A successful Rancho Santa Fe horticulturist known for growing French heirloom strawberries using his patented inflatable greenhouses is facing accusations of corporate fraud by his agricultural company’s shareholders for the second time in two years. David Chelf, 59, founder and CEO of Airstream Innovations and now-defunct Wicked Wilds, and his wife, Bridgette Chelf, a Solana Beach chiropractor, are co-defendants in a lawsuit filed on March 26 in San Diego Superior Court. According to the complaint, investors Patricia Thompson and Dr. Benedicto Masilungan were solicited by Bridgette Chelf to invest in her husband’s organic produce and inflatable greenhouse businesses to “facilitate pesticide-free food production and allow Third World countries to produce food with no electric power and far less water.”

But underneath the surface of a high-tech berry farm existed a tangled ecosystem of corporate graft, according to court filings. The plaintiffs claim that the Chelfs took their investment money and illegally shuffled funds between four companies — all of which were allegedly operating out of the same corporate office located near Cedros Avenue Design District in Solana Beach — including Bridgette Chelf’s chiropractic business, Ocean Wellness. “…Defendants lacked any real separate legal identities and became, in effect, alter ego of each other, not only when conducting their internal financial affairs but also while soliciting investors and issuing, or failing to issue, stock to investors,” the complaint reads. Both Thompson and Masilungan further allege they never received stocks or shares for their investment and that the Chelfs have refused to provide

shareholders with important financial records as required by state law. Carlsbad attorney Alan Pitcaithley, representing Thompson and Masilungan, said his clients have

in physics, established Wicked Wilds in 2003 to produce a hybridized strawberry known as Mara des Bois at a farm in Ranchita, southwest of Borrego Springs. Later filings with the

California Secretary of State show Bridgette Chelf and Thompson listed as Wicked Wilds officers, directors or both. According to the company’s website (which is no longer active), David Chelf first developed an inflatable, temperature-controlled greenhouse to help Wicked Wilds grow “well-nourished plants” with a “higher nutritional content” without the use of any pesticides to better “achieve a level of gustatory greatness.” Both Airstream companies were formed to protect David Chelf’s intellectual property and to manufacture and sell his signature greenhouses. Wicked Wilds and

Airstream quickly garnered national attention as agri-tech vanguards and David Chelf was featured in articles by CNN Money, The Los Angeles Times, KPBS and Smithsonian Magazine. In 2006, Wicked Wilds’ certified organic strawberries sold from $60 to $75 for six punnets (or three pounds) including overnight delivery to award-winning restaurants in Las Vegas and across San Diego County, including Picasso at The Bellagio, Bouchon at the Venetian and A.R. Valentine at the Lodge at Torrey Pines. The Chelfs gradually shifted their business focus from growing strawberries to solely manufacturing, selling and installing inflatable greenhouses. In 2017, Westside Transplant successfully sued David Chelf and Airstream for breach of contract after the company failed to deliver a 75,600-square-foot Airstream Tunnel Greenhouse Unit and several accessories for $286,000. The following year, David and Bridgette Chelf settled a lawsuit filed by another former Wicked Wilds and Airstream investor Mary Ann Morrison after she alleged the Chelfs took her investment money and refused to hold shareholder meetings or “provide any accounting or record of where plaintiff’s investment has gone,” according to the complaint. David and Bridgette Chelf declined to comment for this article.

Encinitas council declines Adopt a Family celebrates bravery, honors resilience to back ferret proclamation By Christina Macone-Greene

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — Fans of feral ferrets found Encinitas unfriendly to their cause last month. Supporters of the animal, which are banned as pets in California, had asked Encinitas officials to support a resolution supporting their efforts to legalize them. But the City Council declined to support the resolution, with four of the five members expressing opposition to legalizing ferrets, which they said could potentially become an invasive species if a domestic ferret were to escape. “They’re cute, but I believe in science,” Deputy Mayor Jody Hubbard said. “I don’t feel comfortable ... it’s not something I want to support.” Hubbard, Mayor Catherine Blakespear and Councilman Joe Mosca echoed the concerns voiced by residents Dennis and Kathleen Lees, former traffic and public safety commissioner Christina Simokat and environmental commissioner James Wang, who all said that California’s ban is meant to protect the ecosystem from being overrun by the animals. The speakers pointed to other invasive species,

such as the rodent nutria and the invasive plant caulerpa, and the havoc those wreaked once introduced. Pat Wright, a La Mesa resident and the founder of Legalize Ferrets, spoke at the March 20 meeting and said that the opposition to ferrets is rooted in politics, not science. “None of these speakers brought any ‘science’ to the meeting. Because their science is nonexistent,” Wright said. “Their politics is quite apparent.” California and Hawaii are the only states that ban domestic ferrets as pets. California’s ban has been in place since 1933. Councilman Tony Kranz was the lone voice of support of the measure on the dais. He said that the likelihood of a feral ferret family taking root in Encinitas is “very, very low.” Also, he said, the resolution didn’t legalize ferrets in Encinitas, just voiced support for ferret advocates to state their case to the state legislature. “We are endorsing them having the opportunity to make that case,” Kranz said. “I’m prepared to let the legislature decide.

RANCHO SANTA FE — It was an evening of inspiration at Adopt a Family Foundation’s sixth annual gala with the theme, “Celebrating Bravery, Honoring Resilience.” More than 200 guests supporting the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit gathered at Building 177 at Liberty Station on March 31. Adopt a Family offers financial support to victims of terror in Israel. According to Carine Chitayat, chief executive officer and co-founder of Adopt a Family Foundation, guests listened to moving presentations from keynote speaker Almog Boker, followed by Yaniv Perez who lives in Sderot. During the course of the evening, attendees took part in both silent and live auctions while enjoying the musical entertainment provided by Shanee, “The Voice of Peace.” “Our silent auction consisted of beautiful contemporary paintings which incorporated the theme of the night ‘Celebrating Bravery Honoring Resilience,’” Chitayat said. “These paintings were generously donated by seven local artists in the community and supporters of our foundation.” Co-chairing the 2019 gala was Orly Perez and Shira Schaffer. For Chitayat, the evening was memorable on many levels. “It was heartwarming

to see people from our community come together and bring their support for Israel. Everyone was very moved by the speeches and the emotion in the room was very powerful,” Chitayat said. It was wonderful to witness the supporters of Adopt a Family, personally hear about their gratitude, and the impact that they are having on the recipients of our foundation.” Chitayat hopes that guests walked away from the evening knowing the annual gala is an invaluable fundraiser. The proceeds allow the organization to sustain and create new programs. “Adopt a Family Foundation embraces an Israeli family each year into its program and continues its sup-

port indefinitely,” she said. Chitayat shared that every year, the Adopt a Family Foundation invites an adopted family to San Diego for a week. This provides individuals with some respite while building strong bonds and friendships with families in the community. Also, the foundation assists in the costs of school tuition. “A substantial portion of the organization’s proceeds are dedicated to providing additional therapy sessions and summer camps to children who have PTSD,” she said. “This year we had five Israeli teens, their coach, Yaniv Perez, and his daughter at our gala, all of whom suffer from PTSD. They come to play in a soccer tour-

nament against local teens in our community.” Chitayat, along with other gala guests, were moved when Perez and one of the teens said a few words at the gala expressing their gratitude with the support of Adopt a Family. They described the experience as warm, supportive and one of friendship. Supporters and members of Adopt a Family host the teens during their Southern California stay. “This is a unique experience for all involved, and this experience truly strengthens their bonds with our community,” Chitayat said.

ing the school’s garden for community use. The city of Encinitas, which also would have to endorse the proposal, was slated to consider it later this month. “Based on this feedback from the National Parks Service, it is unlikely that OGALS will recommend the boundary adjustment as outlined in the current draft ... provided by the school district,” the email states. “The City and the School District should continue to consider other options in moving forward with their proposal.” Barbara Baker, a supervisor with the Office of Grants and Local Services, said the district’s proposal is problematic because the parking lot would serve mostly a school purpose rather than for park purposes. “The proposal would need to show how park and recreation improvement is being realized by giving up open space area for parking that the school is planning on building for its own use,” Baker wrote in the email. Baker also said that the proposal to open the garden to the community would “need to be considered carefully regarding what is actually benefiting public use of the site, when it would be available for public use,” as well as what land would actually be eligible for the swap. The garden includes the old brick building, which wouldn’t be eligible for park replacement purposes. Those issues are part of an overarching issue that Baker said exists with the proposal: the district owns both the school and the park and the school use would take priority for most of the land being used

in the swap. “The entire boundary adjustment presents special concerns due to property ownership, shared school use with school use as the priority, and use of contiguous school-owned priority for replacement,” Baker wrote. Cardiff School officials said this week they were trying to contact the state to see what this meant for the project, but said that the letter “doesn’t change the school project in the way of the board’s priority of serving students’ education in a safe and secure environment.” “This is just another step in the process, but we don’t have any further information from the National Parks Service to answer any questions about the letter,” board President Siena Randall said. “We are reaching out to find out what is next.” Randy Peterson, the school district’s contract bond manager, said the district doesn’t know what changed from several weeks ago, when they said that state parks officials recommended they include

the parking lot in the proposal, and the date of the letter, which appears to be a reversal. “We just need to better understand what has changed,” he said. Opponents of the district’s proposal raised concerns about the proposed land swap in a lawsuit they filed in March to force the district to do a more thorough environmental review of the project’s impacts. Eleanor Musick, a Cardiff resident and secretary of the group that filed the suit, said the current parking lot serves the park and school adequately. “There’s plenty of street parking, and the lot is never full unless there is a soccer tournament,” Musick said. “Otherwise on most weekends there’s only a handful of cars. The large parking lot is solely for the school’s benefit. It does not improve the park to have a 35,000-square-foot parking lot.” Baker’s email also informed the district the project likely wouldn’t be eligible for a “small conversion,” which requires a

March 26, 2019 Former City of Encinitas, Executive Secretary Patricia Drew, died Tuesday, March 26, 2019. She was 87 years old. Patricia was born in New Zealand to British parents, Alfred and Amy Marsh in 1931. Leaving that country to come to american when she was only 19 years old. She is survived by her brother Dennis Marsh, nephews Dale Marsh and Gordon Marsh, and neices Debbie Marsh and Kathy Neutz. Patricia was active in her community of Encinitas, where she called home.

less thorough review of the environmental impacts, because of the controversy surrounding it. “Additionally, one of the requirements for a proposal to be considered a ‘small conversion’ is that the proposed conversion is not controversial,” Baker wrote. “It is evident that this is not the case, so a more extensive review by NPS will be required.” This was also one of the core arguments opponents made in their lawsuit. A group of officials with the state Office of Grants and Local Services said late April 3 that the letter was part of the ongoing negotiations between the city and state and federal officials, and cautioned that no project has actually been submitted for approval. “What has happened here is that we are encouraging them to come to a conclusion and give us a formal proposal,” said Sedrick Mitchell, deputy director of external affairs with the state department of parks. “We don’t want to overspeculate; this isn’t a proposal.”

9th annual Bags & Baubles event around the corner By Christina Macone-Greene gently used and include

RANCHO SANTA FE — The ninth annual Bags & Baubles for FACE Foundation is turning a fundraising event into an unforgettable shopping experience. Once again this year, the venue will be located at a private Rancho Santa Fe Estate on April 28. Nearly 500 guests will come out to pick their must-have items while supporting pets in need. In 2018, Bags & Baubles raised more than $130,000. Ticket prices are $30 which includes complimentary champagne, wine, appetizers, desserts and shopping opportunities galore. According to Danae Davis, the executive director of FACE Foundation, its board of directors underwrites all event expenses, soCROP 100 percent of the proceeds .93 go back to the nonprofit. .93“The FACE Founda4.17specifically helps save tion 4.28lives of pets by givthe ing them a second chance when they’re facing economic euthanasia,” Davis said. “So, when a pet parent is faced with a difficult choice of not being able to afford a sudden emergency procedure or veterinary treatment for their pet, a lot of people don’t understand that without that money up front, the more humane option would be to euthanize the animal. We want to try to prevent that from happening — this year already, we have saved more than one pet a day from economic euthanasia.” Davis said while many attendees are returning supporters who annually come shopping for the day, they also see new faces, too. For Davis, Bags & Baubles is all about shopping for a cause and affording guests hundreds of choices in handbags, jewelry, sunglasses and more. The silent auction items are either new or

designers such as Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Tori Burch, Gucci, Prada and Fendi. “We have something for everyone,” she said. “We also have a section called the Cat’s Meow which is not part of the silent auction so people can buy those items right then and there.” Since its inception in 2006, FACE Foundation has saved nearly 2,300 pets. And one of those pets is Pinky, a 12-year-old Maltese Bichon, owned by Christina Kremers of Carmel Valley. Kremers shared how last November, Pinky was scampering through the grass when suddenly her back legs buckled, and she yelped. Kremers took her to the veterinarian right away. “Pinky had torn both of her back ACLs on her legs — she needed emergency surgery as soon as possible, and the cost was exorbitant — it was way out of my budget so the option that I had was to try to find something that could help me or put her down,” she said. “I came across the FACE Foundation, and I emailed them my story about Pinky and how much she meant to me.” The very next day, FACE Foundation contacted her and got the wheels in motion for Pinky’s surgeries. Kremers’ gratitude for Pinky being saved is beyond words. “I’m so thankful and blessed to have found FACE Foundation — without their help, I would have been part of that percentage of people who would have had to put down their best friend, and that would have been horrible,” Kremers said.

Ponderings of pre-schoolers jean gillette

hen you pass by a minivan packed with presc hoolers , you may think it is just a car full of kids. It is, in fact, a mini think tank. While confined for long distances in their booster seats, youngsters will debate and ponder the ways of the world and draw their first conclusions on the meaning of existence. You would think that the subjects on their newly forming minds would relate directly to that which most concerns them. Where the next Batman toy is coming from, what’s for lunch and when they can next go to the park with the really neat slide. Instead, they swing between small points of silliness and ones of true weight. The heaviest debate we had was about marriage, when a small group of 4-year-old boys began to consider this volatile subject. First Bobby noted boldly that he was going to marry his little brother. Tommy, somehow more rooted in reality than the rest of the carload, promptly pointed out that you cannot marry your brother. He added that you don’t know who you are going to marry because you

said. “If hazards are present, homeowners will be notified by mail of the potential hazard and how to abate it. Staff is also willing to meet with individual property owners to discuss hazards, weed abatement, building construction features, and any other general fire concerns homeowners have regarding their property or a neighboring property.” Cox wants residents to know that in San Diego County, fire season is yearround. And with that, so is property maintenance. This upkeep includes 100 feet of defensible space around structures and 20 feet of clearance along roadways and driveways. “They (homeowners) are also responsible for making sure there is an acceptable vertical clearance of 13 feet 6 inches in height along all roadways and driveways. This is the required height for our emergency vehicles to safely occupy the road,” Cox said. “Dry, dead palm fronds should also be removed from palm trees as the accumulation around their trunks presents a severe fire hazard.” Cox went on to say that annual weeds and grass-

es need clearance. This needs to be done when they are mature and must be abated no later than May 1, 2019. Property owners who are in noncompliance will be notified by the district by mail to abate the hazards noted. Under the district guidelines, they will mail up to three notices offering the homeowner 35 days to comply with the abatement terms. “If the hazard has not been abated after this timeframe, the property will be subject to the fire district’s Forced Abatement Process. If forced abated, the district will hire a third-party contractor to do the required work and will bill the property owner,” he said. “If payment is not received, the district will then put a lien on the property. Property owners or managers are strongly urged to arrange for the clearing of their own properties, as the above requirements are strictly enforced." Cox said the cost of a force abatement is higher than if a homeowner were to do it themselves or hire a commercial company to do it. Cox encourages homeowners to schedule a site inspection with its Fire Prevention Specialists

neighbor girl told my son she might like to marry him. He put my fears to rest by telling her that she couldn’t know if she wanted to marry him, because she didn’t know what he would look like when he grew up. At least he’s fair, if narrow-minded. Other points of philosophy raised during the car-seat forum have included pondering the ways of the universe, like whether the moon is actually following us when we drive and whether or not the fog resting atop that nearby hill is actually a cloud that has come down so low or smoke from too many chimneys. One concluded that you get milk if you mix bread, butter and water, and another wanted to know just how those hotair balloons stay up so high and whether leprechauns are very tiny or sort of big. The kids I know are seldom interested in any cold pronouncement of the basic facts. They want to speculate and cogitate, and I let them, figuring that they will learn the truth soon enough from their father and the Discovery Channel.

Tips sought in lottery scam targeting senior citizens

REGION — Authorities reached out to the public April 5 for help in identifying a pair of thieves who have swindled San Diego-area senior citizens out of thousands of dollars in recent weeks via a lottery scam. The crimes occurred on at least a half-dozen occasions during March and victimized retirement-age Hispanic women in various local communities, including Vista and the city of San Diego, said Sgt. Karl Miller of the sheriff’s Financial Crimes/Elder Abuse Unit. To con the victims, one of the perpetrators, calling herself Francisca, approaches them at grocery stores and initiates conversations in Spanish, according to investigators. During the interactions, the crook claims to have a friend with a winning lottery ticket who cannot claim the prize because he or she is not a U.S. citizen. At that point, a man who goes by the name Jose wanders up and pretends to overhear the women. He chimes

in, saying he knows of a way to get the lottery winnings, if the victims are willing to provide upfront money. If they do, he promises, they will get a portion of the monetary prize. At that point, the swindlers drive the victims’ banks or homes to get cash. Once the thieves have the money, they drop the victims off in an unfamiliar location, leaving them stranded until they can get help. The targeted women have lost between $2,500 and $10,000 each, according to sheriff’s investigators. The female perpetrator is described as 40 to 65 years old, with dark hair and a medium build.

Her accomplice stand about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, has short black hair and is heavyset. Both are Hispanic, with accents that do not sound Mexican in origin. Surveillance cameras have captured images of the thieves. Anyone who might be able to help identify the perpetrators are asked to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 or contact the agency online sdcrimestoppers.org. Tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. — City News Service

haven’t met them yet. This carried no weight with his peers. Bobby responded with his best defense, “My mommy told me I could marry anyone I wanted to, and I am going to marry my little brother.” Johnny joined the debate and solidified Bobby’s sibling-preference stance by stating that he might marry his little sister. Tommy, however, is a patient philosopher and pointed out to Johnny that you can’t marry your sister, either. Johnny also ignored such wisdom, restating his intent. Finally, the true thinker of the group took a stand. Jimmy had been considering all the alleged options throughout the discussion, and now stated, “I’m not going to get married. I’m just going to get a dog.” Silence ensued as all four boys considered the enormous appeal of Jimmy’s revolutionary idea. When the subject came up again in the presence of my son, he added this dimension. “You don’t know who you are going to marry, because you don’t know what they will look like when they grow up,” he said. My first reaction was horror at such an attitude, emphasizing only the physical appearance in your choice of mate. How could I have raised such a son? I began preparing a long discussion in my head to be delivered in the next few days. Later, a 3-year-old

ENCINITAS — Hundreds of supporters and families of the Sanderling Waldorf School attended the nearly four-hour public hearing, after which the commission voted 4-0 to approve the eight-building, 31,150-square-foot school on four lots east of Quail Gardens Drive along Mays Hollow Lane. The project is proposed to be built in two phases: the first with eight modular buildings and the second phase, which is subject to the school’s fundraising efforts, the replacement of the modular buildings with permanent structures. A group of neighbors and a nearby congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses opposed the project based on concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety, but the commissioners said that the staff report and traffic study addressed their concerns. The commission added several conditions, including one that would require the school district to return for approval if it takes longer than 10 years to commence the second phase, and for the city to study creating a 25 miles per hour speed zone along Quail Gardens

to stretch from Encinitas Boulevard to the Encinitas Union School District farm lab property to the north. “I have no further issues, and I think it’s a wonderful project, it’s going to be a good synergy, and my concerns about traffic are answered,” said Commissioner Brett Farrow, who made the motion to approve the project. Sanderling Waldorf is a private school that was founded in Encinitas 20 years ago but currently operates in two locations in Vista and Carlsbad in spaces that have expiring leases next summer. School board chair Kimberly Prentiss told the commission that the school wanted to return to Encinitas, where most of the families reside. “The plan for this campus is just what our families have hoped for, a coastal location in a city with shared values with our program,” Prentiss said. “Those are including respect and care for the environment and for each other.” The majority of the 40 speakers who spoke during the hearing were parents and supporters of the school, many who waved signs and

wore sky-blue shirts in a show of solidarity with the school. Most of them spoke about the quality of education and how the Quail Gardens site would be a perfect permanent home. But several of the speakers, including neighbors and a representative of the English congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, said the school would exacerbate an already congested street. “We learned a lot tonight about the school, however this hearing is not about how this particular private school education can be different from other schools,” said Glen Johnson, a longtime resident. “What we are looking at is some facts ... that Quail Gardens Drive is used as a shortcut for nearby public schools and the freeway, and the level of service is degraded during peak hours.” But the school officials

responded that their traffic study, which did not take into account the traffic mitigating measures the school had pledged to take, showed they would not create the concerns the neighbors feared would take place. “We totally understand that our neighbors are going to have concerns about any change to the status quo,” said Bill Hofman, the project planner. “They’ve basically lived next to a park for all these years and with any change, there’s going to be a lot of fear. But all of the statements were not based on any factual-based information, they were all very speculative.” Hoffman said the school’s enrollment cap at 270 students, as well as staggered drop-off and pick-up times and carpooling in addition to a queuing capacity for 53 vehicles rendered many of the concerns moot.

Senior Gleaners gather surplus food to feed the hungry By Lucia Viti

RANCHO SANTA FE — Are you an active senior willing to exchange time for productivity? Are you a vegetable or fruit farmer harvesting crops or a homeowner with a yard filled with fruit trees? Do you love sharing a bright sunny day with friends while serving to sustain our ecosystem and feed the hungry? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, Senior Gleaners are ready and super excited for you to join their efforts in gleaning surplus produce to help feed those in need. Gleaning, a Biblical tradition established by landowners who set aside portions of their harvested bounty to feed the poor, is sowing its seeds in San Diego to feed the hungry, reduce food excess, and protect the environment from harmful methane gas, a byproduct of food and organic waste. Celebrating 25 years as a nonprofit organization,

Senior Gleaners collect food that would otherwise be wasted. Members glean surplus produce from farms, fields, groves and yards as well as damaged or outdat-

ed food and products donated by grocers, food services and restaurants throughout San Diego County. "This is a program that helps the environment, as-

sists homeowners, reduces waste and feeds hungry people all in one integrated process," said Karen Clay, Senior Gleaners’ general manager. “With all of the negativity in today's world, gleaning is positive and productive,” added Monte Turner, Senior Gleaner board president. “Rather than compost edible food or fill landfills with foods that become harmful methane gas, it makes more sense to support the Senior Gleaners who get food to the people who need it.” According to Turner, the food advocacy group collected more than 280,000 pounds of produce and distributed nearly 252 tons of food in 2018. And yet, San Diegans continue to waste 500,000 tons of food annually while 500, 000 people are considered food “insecure.” “While not starving, many San Diegans — one out of five — don’t know where their next meal is coming from,” he said. “San Diego has an abundance

he first thought that came to mind when I looked at Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50/50 menu in San Marcos was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;well this is over-the-top.â&#x20AC;? And given that they use those words specifically twice on their website homepage with the lines â&#x20AC;&#x153;all sorts of over-the-top optionsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;over-the-top food favoritesâ&#x20AC;? then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this dining experience was going to be like so I was just going to go with it. With a column called Lick the Plate I better be able to go big once in a while right? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this place is all about so I planned a day of light eating in preparation. In case you were unaware, the 50/50 comes from their original differentiator of their burgers having an even mix of 50% ground bacon and 50% ground beef. That ensures a moist, flavorful burger regardless of the temperature you order it. Much like buying the fattiest blend of beef for your burgers at home, 70/30 has always been my preference. My point is, lean blends of burgers are not my thing so Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is doing it right with their signature hook. As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned in the past, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more of a simple burger kind of guy, I want to taste that moist, fatty blend with minimal distractions but since this is an over-the-top kind of place, I was ready to indulge. Before I get into the food I should note that their

he wine worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big place, so hop on board as we touch a few bases. First stop: Chateau Montelenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival in San Diego for a wine dinner at the new West End Bar & Kitchen in Del Mar. The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showman-owner Sal Ercolano brought in the Napa Valley Cab favorite with its awesome history of celebrant Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. True to form, it drew a full house for two nights for these estate-driven wines. John Parker of Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market distributors did a totally pro presentation of each varietal including Riesling, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite, the 2015 Cabernet. The winery first gained fame when its 1973 Chardonnay beat all French versions in an international battle of the bottles at the 1976 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paris Tasting.â&#x20AC;? Winemaker at the time was Napa Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pioneer Chardonnay king Mike Grgich, who went on to make his own wine starting in 1977. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discoveryâ&#x20AC;? Napa Valley wine has burst on the scene causing heads to turn. I had an ACRE 2016 Zinfandel from the Oakville and Yountville districts, at 333 Pacific in Oceanside ($33). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the famous traits of a great Zinfandel, bold, rich and dark flavors of berry with its 15% alcohol. A plush aroma will lure you in with its black fruit and notes of cedar and licorice. The 37th annual Paso Robles Wine Festival in Paso is Thursday May 16 through Sunday May 19, including a Grand Tasting Saturday the May 18. See pasowine.com for details. Walla Walla Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world-class wines deserve a lot more attention than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting, not only for their lovely reds at Leonetti Cellars and Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cole, but lately the area is showing up in major publications as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;50 Best Places to Travel.â&#x20AC;? With more than 120 wineries and a large number of restaurants, the lover of wine and food should also consider the vineyard-scenic beauty of the city, its surroundings and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;small townâ&#x20AC;? friendliness that fills the air. The wines turned out in the Walla Walla district enjoy some 12 hours of sun in the Summer and the grapes respond with a depth and power that few areas of the wine world can equal. Wine and cheese are joined at the hip in mutual flavor enhancement at 2Plank Vineyards. Cheese and wine are natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s link to high quality tasting. Together, they bond and embrace each other in a lifelong romance of taste.

San Marcos location has the most beer taps Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. They claim over 100 and that all their bartenders and servers are Cicerone certified, which bodes well for all you crafty beer drinkers out there. In case you are unfamiliar with the term Cicerone, (sis-uh-rohn) it â&#x20AC;&#x153;designates hospitality professionals with proven experience in selecting, acquiring, and serving today's wide range of beers. Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vampire Dip was recommended to start our meal and it was a fine pick. The combination of roasted garlic, artichoke hearts and creamy melted cheese served in a sourdough bread bowl with crispy pita and veggies for

dipping was delish. I could envision eating a lot of this stuff watching a sporting event on a lazy Sunday. They also offer up Crispy Brussels Sprouts (see, there are healthy options), Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos, 50/50 Sloppy Joe Sliders, Kona Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Bacon Mac and Cheese Balls, and of course the pork centric Pork-APalooza, their signature bacon flight with Bacon Chicharron, Bacon Kettle Corn, Sweet & Sour Agave Pork Wings, Crispy Pork Belly with Jalapeno-Bacon Jam and Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giardiniere. Burgers are the stars at Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and all 1/3 Burgers are served with your choice of: French Fries + Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Bacon Ketchup; Sweet Potato Fries + Pumpkin Sauce; or Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salad; and any burger can be served on organic mixed greens or in a lettuce wrap. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest it in a bun but just wanted to put that out there. And of course you can â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slaterizeâ&#x20AC;? your fries for that OTT experience with beer cheese or bacon chili cheese. Impossible burgers are available to replace the 50/50 blend, but that just seems counter intuitive to this whole experience.

See the great outdoors differently with Optvue Windows Outdoor pizza ovens, wine coolers, spas, jacuzzies and complete kitchen entertaining centers ... It’s no secret Southern Californians love the great outdoors and thanks to our almost perfect yearround temps outdoor living and entertaining is a favorite pastime. But besides the usual outdoor suspects there’s an additional way to get the party started and enjoy Mothers Nature’s gifts: pass-through windows with streamlined designs that allow items to be effortlessly passed from the kitchen to an outside patio or entertaining space. Pass-through windows like Optvue, Thruvue are San Diego’s newest trend in both new construction and remodeling. They help homeowners breathe new life into their spaces by bringing the outside in, and give your home a new look and feel without doing a major remodel. Fully functional passthrough Optvue, Thruvue windows are the essence of indoor/outdoor living al-

GREAT FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES The unique design with no bottom sill gives passthrough windows by Optvue both residential and commercial applications. Stop by Gelato 101 in Encinitas and see for yourself how cool they are. Three pass-through windows were just installed at the newly remodeled building across from the Moonlight Beach 7-Eleven under the Encinitas sign. Courtesy photo

lowing food and drinks to be passed through easily to guests all while the cool breezes flow in. If you like to entertain, or simply want to transform your outdoor space, consider installing a pass-through window in your home just in time for summer.

BELLS & WHISTLES Optvue, Thruvue passthrough windows can be customized and have various product options including an array of sizes and finishes. Easy to open and shut, Optvue, Thruvue windows are available either motorized or equipped with gas

struts. This makes them simple to open and shut whether you just want to let in a quick fresh breeze or keep them open for hours. Simply reach over the counter, turn the handle, and push the window out 6 to 8 inches allowing the gas struts or motor to take over and slowly open the win-

dow in to the final position. Imagine the possibilities when it’s a warm summer day and the kids are frolicking in the pool while you’re in the house doing chores. The next thing you know they’re out of the pool, dripping wet and craving a mid-day snack. Instead of letting them drip through your kitchen, serve them a burger and fries via your Optvue, Thruvue pass-through window without them entering the kitchen. Hand out snacks, dry towels and sunscreen using a pass-through window, and if you need to get your swimmers’ attention, just do a quick holler out the window. When your husband comes home from work direct him to the outside patio and serve him a cocktail via your pass through window. For parties, the Optvue Thruvue is a must have choice for serving your guests outside. When you’re home alone and want to catch the morning sunrise but it’s chilly, just flip the switch to open the motorized window, then take advantage of unobstructed views minus traditional ver-

tical or horizontal interference. These windows can span large or small openings and are available in various stock sizes. Since Optvue is the manufacturer, you can also order custom sizes to fit any project. It’s clear to see Optvue, Thruvue is the best way to get the most out of your window. According to the manufacturers of this miracle window, “Modern living is often defined by clean lines, simplicity, and ease of use. Nothing distills that essence more than indoor-outdoor living, and pass-through windows are trending as homeowners clamor for ways to incorporate indoor-outdoor elements into their lives. The ability to pass food outside to guests is easier and less messy than ever.” San Diego window manufacturer Optvue specializes in pass-through windows; they don’t just sell the windows, they also make them.

North County family-run business is bringing BACKYARD HOMES to a whole new level ENCINITAS — Recent state legislation regarding Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, more popularly known as granny flats or backyard homes, has created a lot of buzz and opportunities for San Diego residents. And the Arendsen Family, owners of Crest Homes, with 33 years of experience in the tailored-home business, is committed to providing education and assistance to homeowners. As state laws work to ease the housing crisis by making the permit process easier with reduced or eliminated permit fees, more homeowners are considering backyard homes. John Arendsen and his Crest “Backyard” Homes team have made backyard homes their primary focus. They currently have four furnished models in Leucadia that are available to tour by appointment. Arendsen, a resident of Vista since 1980, and Leucadia since 2002, has been in the

small home business for most of his life. “These new laws have definitely enhanced awareness of the possibilities of ADUs and are making it more affordable. However, the biggest misconception is that small means inexpensive even with jurisdictional fee reductions. In today’s labor shortage environment, California construction can never be considered cheap.” As a licensed general and manufactured home contractor, manufactured home dealer and real estate broker, Arendsen is experienced in all facets of the industry. His wife and partner of 45 years, Janis, runs her own division of On The Level General Contractors Inc. dba CREST HOMES. “She has always been my partner,” he said. And four of his five children are also involved in the design and building industry, two of them with On The Level and Crest Homes. The other two own their own companies but on many projects they all in-

terface with one another. “I am blessed to be able to rely on their expertise,” he added. The main draw for ADUs tends to fall in several categories: extra income as a rental unit, independent living for a family member, or even a guest house. “ADU’s can provide an additional revenue stream for homeowners,” he said. “But I caution people to do the math and make sure they are able to recoup their investment.” With the onslaught of

Baby Boomers wanting to age in place, Arendsen has also seen an increase in people wanting units for family members that offer independent living and privacy but in close proximity to the main home. “For older family members, it allows them to be in a familiar and loving environment as they begin to require more care,” he said. “We’ve also seen units occupied by grown children who have moved back home while paying off college debt.”

Some families wish to have a backyard home for a full-time caregiver to reside on the property. Also, those with large estates may want a private dwelling for a fulltime groundskeeper or onsite housekeeper. Also popular are pool cabanas, also known as guest cottages or casitas. “Sometimes homeowners want to have self-contained units for accommodating visitors,” Arendsen said. While the future growth for backyard homes is clear, plenty of confusion continues to surround the ADU industry and the new legislation. This is why Arendsen is organizing an ADU Forum & Panel Discussion titled “ADU4U?” The event will be open to the public and provide comprehensive information from a variety of state and local officials and building experts. The event will be hosted by the nonprofit San Diego Creative Investors Association and doors open at 6 p.m. June 11 at the Scottish Rites

Center in Mission Valley. Sen. Bob Wieckowski, the architect of the new Senate Bills on ADUs, will lead the discussion with a video presentation from Sacramento about the state laws that are currently in progress that will make it even easier to build an ADU. The keynote speaker is Greg Nickless, Senior Housing Analyst for the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Other panel members include a San Diego mayor and Geoff Plageman, a city planner whose mission is coordinating the soon-to-be-released PRADU Program. It will be standing room only, so early registration is advised. For more information and tickets, visit www.sdcia.com. To learn more about Crest Backyard Homes, to find out if your property qualifies for one or to schedule a tour of one of the four furnished models in Leucadia, visit www.crestbackyardhomes.com/.

The truth about HORMONE BALANCING FOR WOMEN

ENCINITAS — The conversation around hormone therapy for women is an important one. Women in the perimenopause and post-menopause stages of their lives can face a range of issues, and it’s important that they have the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about preventative care and treat-

ment. “We are here to support women through this transition,” Dr. Ari Calhoun of North County Natural Medicine said. What might surprise some women is that they can begin to experience perimenopause up to 15 years prior to menopause, although it varies. “You start to experience symptoms

far before you enter menopause,” Dr. Calhoun said. “Menopause is clinically defined as the cessation of menstrual cycles for at least one year. Perimenopause is the time leading up to that, when your hormones start to fluctuate and decline.” While typically women enter menopause around age 51, hormone fluctuation

balancing prior to menopause to be most beneficial. “It is our preference to start balancing before menopause,” she said. “The risk to benefit ratio favors early treatment.” While symptoms and their severity will vary by individual, hot flashes, sweats, anxiety, sleep issues, weight gain, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence and brain fog are some of the most common symptoms women experience. But treatment goes far beyond alleviating the symptoms. “Hormone balancing can help prevent major diseases that occur in post-menopausal women,” Dr. Calhoun said. “And again, the earlier we can assess you and begin treatment the more effective it will be.” Heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and osteoporosis are a few major concerns for menopausal women. Estrogen plays a huge role in the health of our blood vessels, brain, and bones, making the balancing of its levels vital. “At North County Nat-

ural Medicine we work with women to support them and decrease their symptoms as well taking preventative measures,” Dr. Calhoun said. “Multiple risks are associated with low or no hormones, and balancing can decrease that risk.” In every case, Dr. Calhoun said they evaluate patients carefully. “As naturopathic doctors, we operate from a preventative standpoint,” she said. “Our oath to do no harm, we take that to heart. We always use the safest and most effective treatments available.” The goal in hormone balancing is simple. “We want to allow post-menopausal women to live an enjoyable life free of symptoms,” Dr. Calhoun said. “Every woman should be able to feel confident, sleep well and get out of depression. That is why we do the work we do.” North County Natural Medicine is located at 815 N. Vulcan Ave. in Encinitas.

and decline begins much earlier. Hormone therapy for women began making headlines following the release of a 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study. Hormone therapy was linked to an increase in breast and uterine cancers. “It caused a lot of fear,” Dr. Calhoun said. “There was a dramatic reduction in women seeking treatment. But we have come to know a lot more since then.” One drastic change is the understanding surrounding the use of bioidentical hormones. “The hormones we use in our practice are chemically identical to those your body produces, so the results are much different than those in the study,” she said. “Within our practice, we ensure breast imaging is clear and bio-identical hormones are used in an appropriate balance, to mitigate all risk of breast and uterine cancer.” Dr. Calhoun stressed that the benefits to risk ratio for women is higher for women under 59. And she advises beginning hormone League Rancho San Dieguito’s annual “April Affair, An Evening of Magic and Illusion” April 13 at the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa, 5480 Grand Pacific Drive, Carlsbad.
