Summit predicts housing recovery

By Patty McCormac

When news of the potential sale broke in October, Assemblyman Martin Garrick said his office was “inundated” with calls from concerned residents. Garrick mailed a survey to constituents in his 74th District, which includes most of North County north of Del Mar. The survey was also available online. According to the
RANCHO SANTA FE — At last year’s Annual Conversation Real Estate Summit, the panel that produces the North County San Diego HomeDex, predicted doom and gloom for the housing market. This year, however, there is a ray of hope for 2011. That was the report given to the Association at its March 17 meeting by Ivan Holler, the Association’s administrator, who sits on the panel. “Residential market trends appear to be on a slow track to recovery,” Holler said. The summit brings together experts from real estate, water, energy and money, and follows real estate trends. The summit is hosted by the Cal State San Marcos and the North County Association of Realtors. Their optimistic predictions were determined by 2010 year-end statisticsm which were shared at its fifth annual meeting held recently at The California Center for the Arts in Escondido. Holler said the recovery depends on many things including the federal budget deficit and inflation. “Inflation is expected to remain fairly low through most of this year, but will accelerate next year,” Holler said. “Unemployment seems to be inching downward,” he said. It is still very hard to buy a house because banks are still holding onto money. “Instead of a loan application, its a loan interrogation,” he said. He said that most of the units sold during the past year have been under $300,000. The next highest in sales rate were in the $500,000 to

Discussions continue on fairgrounds purchase By Bianca Kaplanek
DEL MAR — The potential $120 million purchase of the Del Mar Fairgrounds by the city in which it is located was discussed at no less than four meetings during the second week of March. Here is an update on the deal with some highlights of what was said and done.
Senate Bill 1
On Dec. 6, 2010, Sen. Christine Kehoe introduced SB1, which authorizes the Department of General Services to negotiate terms for the sale of the fairgrounds to Del Mar or to reopen the bidding. Bills must sit for 30 days
before any action can be taken. On Feb. 10, SB 1 was referred to the Rules Committee and Government Organization Committee, which deals with bills relating to horseracing, public gaming, alcoholic beverages and legislation permitting the use of state-controlled lands. Sen. Mark Wyland, whose 38th District includes most of North County beginning in Solana Beach, sits on the Government Organization Committee. Deanna Spehn, Kehoe’s policy director, said hearings probably won’t begin for another three to eight weeks because the Legislature is
currently focused on the budget. Support: Schwarzenegger vs. Brown The original deal was negotiated with former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who could not run for re-election in 2010 because of term limits. While Gov. Jerry Brown said he does not support the sale of state-owned office buildings,he “has voiced no opposition to the sale,” Spehn said, adding that Kehoe’s office has been “assured by the head of the Department of Finance and other senior staff within the Brown administration” that the governor has not received a formal briefing on the sale
because he is focused on the budget. The proposed budget has eliminated $32 million in general fund support to local and county agricultural activities and fairs.

The Feral Professor: Tihomir Petrov, 43, a mathematics professor at California State University Northridge, was charged in January with misdemeanors for allegedly urinating twice on the office door of a colleague with whom he had been feuding. (Petrov was identified by a hidden camera installed after the original puddles turned up.) Petrov is the author of several scholarly papers, with titles such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rationality of Moduli of Elliptic Fibrations With Fixed Monodromy.â&#x20AC;?

RANCHO SANTA FE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Association approved a facelift for the Country Squire Building at 16912 Via de Santa Fe at its March 17 meeting. It is being prepared for a new tenant, California Bank and Trust, Senior Planner Kirk Dakan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the front of the building, there will be three, new small, square windows and in the breezeway frontage, two pairs of windows totaling four new additional windows,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a pair of replacement entry doors to match the new and existing windows. To keep the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance more consistent with the older, traditional buildings of the village, the frames on the doors and windows will be a darker stain color.â&#x20AC;? The Art Jury reviewed the proposal first at its meetings on Jan. 11, Feb. 22 and March 8. It required revisions to the original design to help achieve a more traditional appearance in keeping with the look of the older commercial buildings in the village. The project, both inside and out, is under the
direction of Marion Dodson. In other Association news, Ivan Holler, Covenant administrator, reported that the upgrade of the water line, fire hydrant and driveway at the Osuna Ranch is complete, although it cost a little more than expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think things went well overall,â&#x20AC;? Holler said. Jack Queen, Association director, said he liked the results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks just like it is supposed to look. Perfect,â&#x20AC;? Queen said. The Association voted at its Feb. 3 meeting to approve an additional expenditure of $20,500 to complete the drainage work and establish a contingency to cover any additional project costs at Osuna Ranch. Originally it was estimated that $150,000 would be sufficient. The Osuna Ranch was purchased several years ago with Open Space Funds for just under $12 million. Its purpose was to be an equestrian facility and historical center for the community. The Association approved at its Feb. 17 TURN TO ASSOCIATION ON A15

The danger next door: Drifting tobacco smoke in multi-unit housing By Maria C. Gutierrez
Fools and money are soon parted Founding Father Ben Franklin said, “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while legislature is in session.” He recognized the threat of special interests and the selfserving nature of man. In his world the individual was responsible for protecting their rights. Franklin knew a public that fell asleep to the policies of elected officials would wake up and find they’d been robbed through mismanagement and malfeasance. Across the state we are seeing the fallout from years of public complacency. We fell asleep. We relied on others to do what we should have done ourselves. Residents of Bell discovered the criminal actions of their officials too late. The state teeters on the brink of bankruptcy with a $26 billion deficit. San Diego may have a deficit of $130 million, twice the figure officials had previously disclosed. In Oceanside groups warn that over the last five years pension costs have increased 40 percent while the money collected to pay those costs has risen only 17 percent. The SD County Taxpayers issued a report that North County cities should adopt lower pension benefits for
ANDREW AUDET Life, Liberty and Leadership new hires to pay for critical services without raising taxes. Only Carlsbad and Solana Beach have created two-tiered pension systems. The Encinitas Taxpayers Association, or ETA, speaks up for responsible policy, exposing fiscal mismanagement and ranking council candidates. ETA warned against the pay package approved by the council in 2005 giving a 35 percent benefit increase to city workers.The council ignored ETA warnings claiming the city was on solid footing. A year later, Mayor Bond and Deputy Mayor Stocks said the city was unable to pay for priority projects. Their solution was to bypass voters and approve more debt thru a $20 million lease revenue bond sticking taxpayers with the bill for their mismanagement. Then Councilman Dan Dalager said, “I am not a credit card kind of person”
just before he voted to put another $20 million on the taxpayer Visa Card. ETA gave Dalager a D grade in the last election. Stocks and Bond supported Dalager. Last month the defeated Dalager pleaded guilty to the DA. Recently ETA secured release of the city’s road improvement report. The report had been kept from the public through City Manager Phil Cotton’s use of a questionable tactic labeling the report a “draft.” Stocks and Bond gave Cotton an unearned extra paycheck allowing Cotton to spike his pension. The report showed the city’s road program is underfunded. Elsewhere seniors lost shuttle services due to a lack of funding, city programs have increased fees and some families are paying more for bus service to get kids to school. The library was $11.8 million over budget and the purchase of the $9 million “turnkey” public works building ran $3.5 million over budget prompting Mayor Bond to say, “Now I guess we are in somewhat of a situation of buyer’s remorse.” Bond and his remorse got off easy.

public housing authorities to establish smoke-free policies and the next step will be a federal policy that protects children in public housing from tobacco smoke. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers the expansion of smoke-free policies, at all levels, to be essential since tobacco smoke poses a threat to families. The purpose of smoke-free policies is to help protect all apartment residents especially children from secondhand smoke exposure. California’s sustained campaign against tobacco not only has lowered smoking rates, but there have also been major benefits to public health. Much progress is being made, but there is still more to do to end the tobacco epidemic, children are still being exposed to the dangers of second hand smoke in their homes. One way you can help in the fight against secondhand smoke is to consider going smoke-free in your apartment building or speaking to your landlord about a smoking policy for the health and welfare of the children in your community. This is an idea that’s time has come! Smoke-free apartment building and multi- unit housing just makes sense. For more information on nonsmoking multi-unit housing and apartments, visit northcoastalpreventioncoalition.org/p rograms/tobacco-control. Maria C.

The dangers of secondhand smoke are again back in the spotlight. According to the 2010 U.S. Surgeon General’s report on tobacco, there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke, and that includes secondhand smoke. The report also states that damage from tobacco smoke is immediate since chemicals in tobacco smoke reach your lungs very quickly every time you inhale. Inhaling even a small amount of tobacco smoke can damage your DNA and it can lead to serious illness, such as cancer and ultimately death. Infants who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome. Multi-unit housing is one of the more recent areas of concern. A new study released by the American Academy of Pediatrics, or AAP, shows that children living in multi-unit homes where no one smokes inside have a 45 percent increase in cotinine (a chemical compound found in tobacco) levels compared with children who live in detached homes. It is believed that smoke seeping through walls or shared ventilation systems is the cause for these statistics. The AAP believes smoking bans in multi-unit housing may reduce children’s exposure to tobacco smoke. Residents with chronic health conditions are severely irritated by drifting tobacco smoke as well. Last year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development urged local

What about a ‘Don’t visit California’ commercial? Have you seen that “visit California” commercial where they show a variety of people telling you why you should come here? Made me want to do a commercial of my own, to tell people to save fuel and stay home. The original commercial features a bunch of people who are meant to represent California, even though they look like they’re from the Midwest. Having been born here way back in 1948, I guess I qualify as an expert witness. Well, maybe in my region, or at least the block. OK, so I don’t even know what’s going on in my house. Still, I have an opinion, if you care to listen to it. My commercial would show California as one big freeway leading to one big outlet mall featuring endless rows of T-shirts with cute sayings on them next to racks of over-priced sunglasses. It would feature angry locals fighting it out for blown-out surf and spray painting “tourists go home” on rent-a-cars. I would star as the local curmudgeon, from time to time screaming, “Get off my lawn and turn down that radio!” My commercial would feature all the cardboard architecture that has become North County with bulldozers tearing down anything of value and replacing it with stucco duplexes. My commercial would offer star maps to the nearest rehab facility. It would feature newspapers advertising houses for 10,000 times the national average. It would show the crack heads in the alley. Gunshots and trucks without mufflers would serve as the soundtrack. All of the extras would all smile in a creepy, Stepford Wife sort of way while chanting, “Have a nice day,” in unison. My friend and neighbor Joey could be in my commercial, wearing the T-shirt he says he’s going to design someday, “Cardiff-by-theSea, the worst town in the world!” (BTW, that thing would outsell Cardiff Kook calendars two to one, so get on it, Joey.)
CHRIS AHRENS Sea Notes There would be testimonies from all the locals who grew up here and moved to Montana or Cabo or Vista. It would show families packing their belongings as their houses were foreclosed on before they took the long road to the inland dust bowl. It would feature a new monster mall in a previously traditional downtown.There would be a for sale sign in front of the post office in the adjacent town. Thinking about it reminds me of why I left here in 1972 and why I try to drive out to the Arizona desert every weekend. I respect that you love it here, but why do you have to tell everyone and anyone, unless your business depends upon it? That, I understand. But if you love it as it is, advertising it will help accelerate its change. Last weekend the desert was quiet and clean and I passed at least three vans with surfboards on top, heading toward the coast. In the desert you can remember your name and the stars go on forever. I heard my heart beat and remembered that we live in a special corner of the Milky Way Galaxy. I slept outside to the sounds of crickets, bullfrogs and a lonely coyote, not missing the roar of midnight ramblers moving down my street far beyond midnight. The Santa Ana wind just kicked in again.Walk 10 feet and look at the surf. Small, but not bad. Not too crowded and I can see the sandy bottom. Here’s a little secret. I love this place so much that I jealously guard every old house, ever tree and every empty lot. I’m selfish enough to keep the good news to myself. I probably won’t make that “I hate California” commercial, but I wouldn’t mind become Joey’s first T-shirt rep. Don’t just hate it here; tell your friends.
Program pairs veterans with pets By Promise Yee
ENCINITAS — The Rancho Coastal Humane Society recently partnered with Pets for Patriots to help military veterans find and afford companion pets. The program is open to retired military, active duty military and military reserve. “We’re the only organization that provides ongoing support to care for pets,” Beth Zimmerman, founder and executive director of Pets for Patriots, said. “That is what is distinctive about us.” The physical and emotional benefits of pet ownership are numerous. “Owning a pet reduces stress levels,” Zimmerman said. “Pets help people cope with loneliness and depression. And people who own a pet are more physically active, especially if they own a
dog.” Veterans who have adopted a pet through the Pets for Patriots program have reported that their pet has given them a renewed sense of purpose, a trusted friend and a reason to live. Pet adoption does not work for everybody. In two instances a matched Pets for Patriots pet did not fit the family structure and was returned to the local shelter. Generally the positive results for matches far outweigh the poor fits. To help veterans find the right fit the Rancho Coastal Humane Society asks potential pet owners lifestyle questions. “Do they want a running partner or a buddy to hang out on the couch with them?” Simran Noon, spokesperson for Rancho Coastal Humane Society, said. The right pet may be a dog, cat or
rabbit. “Pet therapy animals aren’t limited to dogs,” Noon said. “Any pet qualifies.” The program also helps with the costs of pet care and maintenance. “The whole goal is to make companion pet adoption affordable and achievable and in the long term sustainable,” Zimmerman said. On average a small dog costs about $1,300 a year to feed and provide with routine healthcare and grooming. A large dog costs about $1,800 a year and a cat costs approximately $1,000 a year. This does not include specialty care or surgery. Military veterans pay the initial pet adoption fee to ensure they have the minimum financial means to take care TURN TO VETERANS ON A17

OCEANSIDE — It’s not enough that Rob Hilton has completed multiple combat deployments with the Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. While doing so he maintained his training regimen as a long-distance runner, racing around the base at night, round and round in circles. Within 24 hours of stepping on U.S. soil last August, he picked up where he left off and continued to train for the grueling Ford Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii, on Oct. 8. Hilton isn’t new to triathlons. He began competing as a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2003. “I was really dedicated but the second-place curse was going on,” he remembers. “I couldn’t crack the first-place code.” His plan was to wait until getting out of the military before realizing his goal of competing in the Ironman in Kona. That changed in the fall of 2009 when Charlie Cartwright of Frederick, Md., a friend he introduced to triathlons, was killed in combat. Hilton suffered a second blow when his best friend, Chris Antonik of Crystal Lake, Ill., died on the battlefield last July. “After watching Charlie and Chris pass away, it became clear to me that maybe I had put off goals that I wanted to achieve in life,” he said. “It was like a calling that woke me up. I
thought, ‘Hey, if you want to do these things in life, stop putting them off and do it now.’” The second thing that changed was hiring two top coaches. Sergio Borges’ approach to the running segment of the triathlon was

about developing muscular endurance, rather than longdistance endurance. His advice soon paid off. “Prior to three weeks ago, my best time on the Olympic distance triathlon was 2 hours 15 minutes,” Hilton said. “After working with Sergio it’s down to 1:56.” He also hired coach Will Scandalis who works with him through the master swim program at Pure Fitness in Carlsbad. “Will is amazing,” he said. “He’s a former triathlete himself.” As of today, Hilton has placed first in his class for each race he’s competed in this year: the Carlsbad Marathon, the Desert
May 15. He’ll then travel to Europe to compete in the (full) Ironman France in Nice on June 26. In the midst of training he found time last October to participate in the Ride for Semper Fi, a 430-bike race from Scottsdale, Ariz., to San Diego that raises money for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. “When I came back with the remains of my friend in July I heard about the Ride for Semper Fi,” Hilton explained. “These are just normal people.

SAN DIEGO — A courtroom that serves only veterans opened its doors last month, making San Diego a provider of the seventh Veteran’s Treatment Court in the state. When a person who enters the criminal court system as a defendant is identified as a veteran, they will have their case heard in Department 57 by San Diego County Superior Court Judge Roger W. Krauel. The National Association of Drug Court Professionals, or NADCP, calls the Veterans Treatment Court a hybrid of drug courts and mental health courts because they follow the drug court model to serve veterans who struggle with issues such as addictions or serious mental illness, and promote sobriety, recovery and stability. “Veterans may benefit from interventions, and their military service may be a contributing factor to why they are there,” said Chris Deutch, spokesman for NADCP. He said an example would be a veteran who had a flashback and got violent at a bar. He also said that in order for a case to be heard in the treatment court, that the charges did not need to be drug or alcohol related. “Some are only nonviolent charges and some are case by case,” he said. The members who make up the team that handles the case must all feel comfortable
with the case, Deutch said. Deputy District Attorney George Loyd is one of several people who worked to bring the Veterans Treatment Court to San Diego, and a member on the team who represents the district attorney’s office. Loyd said there are currently nine team members who make up the collaborative court of treatment providers and are from a variety of agencies such as the sheriff’s department, probation department, defense bar and veteran’s administration. The treatment court is held every other Friday. “So far it’s a great program,” he said. “San Diego has the highest concentration of veterans within any jurisdiction in the country,” he said. He said that a majority of the people who visit one of the military bases in the county end up liking the area and staying here. “We have seen an increase in the numbers of veterans affected by PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and other mental health issues,” Loyd said. The specialized court is a way to address those issues and protect the community by addressing them, he said. The main reason the court is important is because it’s a way to fight crime if problems are addressed right away, he said.

Great location, beautiful people, good food at Rimel’s in Cardiff Cardiff Town Center is one of those places that no matter how hot you think you are, you will always find someone more attractive. It’s probably a combination of the location, the lifestyle and the cool shops and restaurants like Rimel’s, where I recently stopped in to sample their dinner offerings. I’ve tried popping in before but it was always very crowded and with no reservations, I always opted to move on. A recent Tuesday night found a couple seats at the bar, so I decided to give it a shot. The bar is a cool place to hang out, as the kitchen is a whirl of activity with flames shooting high and plenty of orders to keep the cooks moving at a feverish pace. The barstools, while very stylish looking in solid wood, were not very comfortable for extended seating … but they sure looked good. The whole place looks good. The vibe at Rimel’s is pure California coastal. Warm earth tones, mesquite fires sending delicious scents through the air, indoor and outdoor seating and a nice view of Cardiff State Park and the ocean beyond make this a prime location to take an out-of-town guest for that SoCal experience. There is also a good chance for an

The menu at Rimel’s covers a lot of ground but they bill themselves as Rimel’s Rotisserie with fresh meats, poultry, game and seafood roasted to perfection over our mesquite, wood-fired grill and rotisserie. They buy from San Diego fisherman daily and catch their own local seasonal fish, which is a cool touch. Their side dishes and other menu selections are made daily in-house. A quick background on rotisseries takes them way back to medieval times when the spit was the preferred way of cooking meat in a large household. A “spit boy” or “spit jack” sat near the spit turning the metal rod slowly and cooking the food. Mechanical turnspits were later invented, first moved by dog-powered treadmill, seriously, that’s what my research turned up. Spits are now primarily electric powered. The word comes from France

Fire district readies for annual boot drive RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe firefighters will be taking to the streets again this year to help raise money for burn survivors. The annual Burn Institute Boot Drive, which raises money to fund burn survivor support services such as Camp Beyond the Scars, will take place on April 6. Firefighters will be standing at major intersections throughout the district during the morning and afternoon commute, collecting monetary donations of any amount in empty fire boots. “We look forward to this
event every year,” said Engineer Tim Wood, who is coordinating Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District’s efforts this year. “It’s a great chance for us to interact with members of the community and raise funds for a very important cause. It also creates a friendly competition among participating fire agencies to see who can raise the most money.” The Burn Institute is a nonprofit agency dedicated to burn prevention and support for burn injury survivors and their families. For more information on the Boot Drive and the Burn Institute,
visit burninstitute.org. The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District is “To protect life, property, and environment through prevention, preparedness, education and emergency response.” Formed in 1946, the Fire District now spans approximately 38 square miles and protects more than 29,000 citizens. The Fire District currently operates out of four full-time fire stations and serves the communities within and surrounding Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and 4SRanch.

Patient has questions about Before You cardiologist’s techniques Sell Real Estate Dear Dr. Gott: I learned I had mitral-valve prolapse (MVP) about 40 years ago and have had it monitored ever since. I am now 65 and otherwise healthy. I have always had spells where my heart would start beating real fast, but they have been more recent lately, occurring almost once a month. About four years ago, my cardiologist put me on 20 milligrams lisinopril daily. My blood pressure is 135/80. Since then, we moved from California to Arkansas. Last month, a new doctor took me off lisinopril and prescribed 60 milligrams diltiazem twice a day. He referred me to another cardiologist. The new cardiologist wants me to start taking 240 milligrams Pradaxa instead and suggested I undergo valve repair ASAP. The surgeon he is referring me to repairs by splitting the breast and putting a ring around the valve. My research shows newer and less intrusive methods for repairing mitral valves (like the MitraClip). Can you refer me to a doctor in Arkansas that does these new procedures? What do you think about the procedure and starting the Pradaxa?

year ago, following years of apparent successful use in Europe. Reports were the tiny medical clip might literally save millions of Americans from open-heart surgery. Mitral regurgitation affects more than 8 million people in the United States. The clip is reported to be far safer than surgery and nearly as effective. In fact, a study presented at an American College of Cardiology conference at that time found more complications (sixfold) from surgery than experienced by those who got the clip. It is important to note that the company that manufactures the MitraClip funded the study; nevertheless, doctors called it a turning point for advanced procedures. Here’s the glitch. While the clip is commercially available in Europe, from what I can understand, it has yet to receive FDA approval in the United States, even though the procedure has been performed numerous times here under FDA protoDear Reader: The New col.

there might be restrictions. The system includes a catheter-based device delivered to the heart through a blood vessel in the leg. It is designed to reduce significant regurgitation by clipping together the leaflets of the mitral valve. Repair with the clip is performed by physicians in the catheterization laboratory. Because the heart beats, there is no need for heart-lung bypassmachine involvement. This is a highly personal decision and shouldn’t be made lightly and without the advice of your physicians. If the procedure is as good as it sounds, your recuperation will be minimal, and your body will be less traumatized; however, it may not be available to you. Ask your physician for a referral to a cardiologist for a second opinion. Reach out to a large teaching facility in your area or call your state medical society for their suggestions. I congratulate you for taking the initiative to educate yourself regarding the newest procedures for mitralvalve prolapse. Keep in mind that you may be a candidate for other, less invasive procedures to correct your MVP.

Frugal families cut their budgets to the bone. Many budget busters, such as eating out too often or being wasteful with electricity, are easy to identify. Sometimes it might seem like you can’t find any new ways to save. Readers on my forums share updates with an ongoing discussion on their most recent ways they’ve managed to save even more money. Here are a few of their suggestions. Garbage service: This won’t work for all households, but some families can cut out their waste-management company. One reader, Michelle from Wisconsin, shares: “I cut off garbage service yesterday. They were charging $25 a month to come every other week. I can drop the same amount of trash at the dump for $8. Even if you figure in $5 a month for gas to get there it is still a savings of $12 a month.” Competitive pricing: If you have cable television or satellite, negotiate to get the best price by making a switch or giving them a chance to meet or beat another offer for

Like instead of so many cleaning products, opting for an all-purpose cleaner for almost all tasks.” Pets: Learn to groom your pets yourself and consider making your own pet food.

Is it worth it to spend money on shoe insoles? By Consumer Reports
As heels get higher and higher, shoe shoppers are left deciding between 4 inches or 5 inches for their next pair. But is there room for comfort in the world of sky-high stilet-
tos?
Not if shoppers are looking to shoe insoles to relieve their aching feet. Recent tests by ShopSmart, the shopping magazine published by Consumer Reports, reveal
that shoe insoles may not be worth the money. “The shoe trend right now seems to be the higher the better, but not everyone wants to teeter on 5-inch platforms every day,” said Lisa
Lee Freeman, editor in chief of ShopSmart. “Our tests found that shoe insoles make little difference when it comes to comfort. But there are things women can do to avoid killing their feet and causing permanent damage.” Almost 90 percent of women wear painful footwear at least some of the time, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. ShopSmart’s advice: Just skip the ridiculously high shoes and wear flats sometimes.
Step by step: Insoles flop
ShopSmart enlisted 14 female staffers to don a pair of their high heels to see whether some popular insoles would make the shoes more comfortable. Each staffer wore her shoes at work for six or seven hours and used fresh samples of each insole for two to three days.They walked around the office twice a day, on a course of about a third of a mile, indoors and outdoors on a
driveway. Panelists rated the insoles for cushioning, comfort, stability and how easy they were to put in and take out of shoes. The verdict: None of the products impressed. The fact is, high heels aren’t comfortable, and a little insole probably won’t make a big difference. Here’s the skinny on the sole savers: — Fab Feet 3/4 Insole and Foot Petals Killer Kushionz provided some cushioning, making the shoes more comfy than they were without the insoles. They also made the shoes feel more stable. — The Foot Petals insoles fasten to shoes with super-sticky adhesive, so it won’t be easy to take them out and move them from shoe to shoe. Some tore the shoe lining when panelists tried to remove them. — Dr. Scholl’s For Her High Heel Insoles made no noticeable difference, although some panelists said they provided some cushion-
ing and arch support. — Insolia High Heel Inserts were the biggest disappointment. Testers said these insoles didn’t provide any more comfort than their shoes alone and actually made the shoes less comfortable and stable than the other insoles.
Five foot shockers (and what to do)
Abused feet can start looking real ugly, real fast. Mind ShopSmart’s list of risky common missteps and simple fixes to avoid pain and deformation down the road: 1. Teetering on high heels. Steep stilettos can lead to hammertoes, bunions, blisters, stress fractures and pain in the balls of the feet because weight is distrusted abnormally. What to do: Go for shorter heels. Try 3 inches, max, instead of 4 or 5. 2.Wearing shoes that are too tight. Many women still buy the same shoe size even though their feet have grown, TURN TO CONSUMER ON A20

more were needed and that none were being diverted for whoonga. • Somehow, prison inmates finagled $39 million in undeserved federal tax refunds in 2009, according to a February report by the U.S. Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration. In Key West, Fla., for example, where prisoner Danilo Suarez was sentenced in January to five years in prison for filing multiple fraudulent returns, jailers discovered a pass-around sheet of instructions for false filings. While some refunds were legitimate (e.g., on preincarceration investment activity), the IRS was found to conduct fraud screenings on fewer than half of all returns filed by prisoners. (The IRS complained that, until 2008, it was illegal for the agency to share information with state corrections officials — or even with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.) • State law in Tennessee prohibits registered sex offenders from re-contacting their victims, but there is no such restriction on anyone

Dear Dr. Gott: I’m a 57year-old man happily living with my wife of 34 years. Although I watched my diet, exercised, and have no family history of cardiovascular disease, I had a 90 percent cardiac blockage in 2009 and ended up having a heartcatheterization procedure and stent insertion. I saw the signs early and now take 40 milligrams of simvastatin. Because I had paid my deductible and co-insurance, I saw a back surgeon about my back, which had been giving me problems for years. After X-rays, a CT and MRI, he determined that I have a vertically herniated disc between my fourth and fifth vertebrae. He said I need a spinal fusion, which would involve going through my abdomen. He gave me prescriptions for pain but didn’t prescribe physical therapy or other alternatives. I’m hoping I can avoid surgery by exercising and watching what I do. I gave up golf and began exercising at a health club, swimming, lifting weights, and walking on an incline treadmill. I limit activities that aggravate the pain. Recently, I met a man who had spinal fusion in the same area. I asked him what caused him to go ahead with the surgery, and he replied it was because of a drop foot on his left side. My question is, can I live with a herniated disc and not have surgery? Is there another type of doctor I can see who would have an alternative?

Consequently, according to a February WMC-TV report, convicted molester Terry McConnell cannot be prevented from mailing birthday cards to one of his two pre-2007 victims (one reading, “I cannot believe my little tot-tot is already a teenager. You might be tired of me writing this, but I can’t get over how fast you are growing up”). (Prison officials say their limited resources are better used on monitoring incoming mail rather than outgoing.) • Senior Houston police officer Mike Hamby, 51, was suspended in February after witnesses reported that he, off-duty and not in uniform, had tossed a tear-gas grenade into a group of rivals in a rodeo cooking contest.

About 300 teams compete in the barbecue cook-off, and police were investigating whether Hamby was merely trying to sabotage a competi-
Dear Reader: Spinal fusion is the permanent connection of two or more vertebrae in the spine that eliminates any motion between them. This is accomplished with screws, rods or plates to hold the vertebrae in place and promote healing. Fusion is performed in a small portion of those people with recurrent herniated discs or such severe herniation of the disc that it pushes on the nerves, causing problems. The specific technique used is largely dependent on the surgeon’s experience and comfort level with a specific approach. Unfortunately, as I have said countless times, nothing is without risk. In this case, infection, bleeding, blood clots, blood-vessel injury around the site and pain at the site where the bone graft was taken can occur. Beyond this, once fusion is accomplished, stresses of the spine are shifted to adjacent areas, which can accelerate wear and tear in those joints on either side of the fusion. This, too, could result in chronic pain. There are methods of making several smaller surgical incisions as opposed to open surgery through one large incision. This procedure is rather complex, requires great skill, and is not available at all hospitals. Despite the procedure, you may have less pain following surgery, but it’s unlikely all your pain will disappear. If you don’t want surgery, speak with your orthopedic specialist.Take your films, and get a second opinion from a highly qualified physician. Check in with a naturopath. If your original specialist has already recommended fusion, it may be that you will not experience relief without a radical procedure; however, if there are options to delay what might be inevitable, ask for recommendations for physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic manipulation, a pain-management clinic and/or massage therapy.

Dear Dr. Gott: At one time, somebody suggested eating a berry for a urinarytract infection, but I don’t remember the name of the berry. Dear Reader: It’s the cranberry.

The first occurs in the liver, the second in the kidneys. At this point, it is now active and ready for use in the body. Vitamin D is widely known to aid calcium absorption. It also maintains appropriate blood-calcium and phosphate levels, which are necessary for normal bone mineralization. It is necessary for bone growth and remodeling (repair). The body also uses Vitamin D for reducing inflammation, modulation of cell growth and normal functioning of the immune and neuromuscular systems. Because Vitamin D is not naturally found in many foods, it is commonly added to cereals, milk and other dairy products. Some foods that naturally contain D include cod-liver oil, salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, liver and eggs. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) varies with age.

However, officials are unsure about the proposed purchase and governance models.

The local partnership between the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and Pets for Patriots began in January and there has already been a pet adoption through the program. “Every community is a little different,” Zimmerman said.“People get to know about us through recruiting and veterinarian partners in community.” For more information,visit petsforpatriots.org and rchumanesociety.org.

suggested grilled on the steaming rice bowl, which is actually a large plate. Their fresh vegetables are wokked with chicken broth and soy sauce and cooked al dente then topped high over a bed of jasmine rice with the fish on top. It was a nice and healthy way to go and a very substantial portion. I’ve always known local halibut to be thinner than the Northern variety yet this one was a very hearty, thick piece of deliciously moist fish which was fine by me. We also tried the sashimi style ahi tuna, which came with a choice of two side dishes, ginger and wasabi and one sauce. Side dish choices include wokseared vegetables, herb roasted or garlic mashed potatoes, cup of soup, field greens, Caesar or pacific rim salad, jasmine white or hearty brown rice and house black beans. The wok-seared veggies were our pick and they paired nice with the ahi. As I mentioned, they have an extensive menu that includes rotisserie chicken, steaks, fish tacos, ribs, burgers, and a nice selection of salads. The lone dessert selection was a chocolate bundt cake from VG’s Bakery down the block. That was a cool local touch and while it was very moist, I could have used a scoop of ice cream to go with it. There is a nice selection of local beers and a decent wine list also. Prices range from $8 for appetizers to $25 for the priciest entrée with a lot to choose from in the $10 to $20 range. They are open daily for lunch also. Rimel’s is located at 2005 San Elijo Ave. in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Check out the whole menu at rimelsrestaurants.com.

An extra hour of daylight to enjoy local spring activities Are you excited about daylight saving time? I am. I don’t mind losing that extra hour of sleep if that means I can have more time after work and school to enjoy all of the wonderful events that take place during springtime. Now that spring has officially arrived, make sure you don’t miss out on some of life’s more sublime pleasures like taking a hike one of San Diego’s many trails. One right under your nose here in the Ranch is San Dieguito Trail. There is an entrance just right across from Cielo that you can access easily off Del Dios Highway. Just because we live close to the beach, don’t forget to take advantage of the Ranch’s rugged natural landscape that can offer a quick reprieve to your busy week. Here is a link in case you would like more information on out local trails in the area: sdrp.org/trails.htm. Just make sure you wear the appropriate shoes for your hike. My advice would be to go with a friend.There’s always safety in numbers. I have included a candid photo from some local residents right before they ventured out on San Dieguito’s trail. Now let’s find out some other exciting stories that have been taking place in Machel's Ranch.

At the end of February, one of my dearest friends, Meredith MacDonald, celebrated her birthday at the plush Ritz restaurant in Newport Beach. If you haven’t been to the Ritz, it’s feels like something out of New York with the big round leather seats under romantic lighting as music fills the restaurant. Here is a gorgeous photo of Meredith with her mother, CC Whitney, from their special mother/daughter birthday outing. Thanks for sharing the photo from that special weekend. On March 12, I headed entered the exclusive neighborhood of The Crosby. I just love it when I pull up to the gates, and say to the attendant, “Karian Forsyth, I’m here for the spa party.” As the sentence rolls off my lips, I feel like I’m watching one of those reality shows with all of the gorgeous women decked out in their pearls and gems as they sip fruity cocktails, while the cameras roll. This is how Karian’s parties feel: opulent, elegant and fabulous. I usually spend a good hour getting ready to for these Saturday once a month events, which ends up with me trying to wrangle some outfit together that leaves me feeling less than perfect. But then again, that’s why I’m having a treatment done, right? I have included one photo from that day that captures the relaxed day of luxuriating all of guests enjoyed as they waited poolside for their rejuvenating treatment. Thanks, Karian! I wouldn’t be surprised our local resident ends up on her own reality show. Stay tuned. On March 13, I was down at Lemon Twist with my husband Robin Shull when his parents and good friends all arrived to enjoy a Sunday hike on the San Dieguito Trail. One of the local residents is none other than Trudi Crockett, one

On March 17, I connected with one of my favorite women in Rancho Santa Fe, Elaine Gallagher. She had recently celebrated with friends in Del Mar at Club M at the Bently Charity. I have included a fun shot from the event, plus another photo that captures the beginning of her journey as a health coach. Last year, Elaine lost 30 pounds on the Medifast diet, which has to her link on yestosuccess.tsfl.com.

the result of an abnormality during the making of bone, whereas osteoporosis occurs in otherwise healthy, normal bone. Excessive intake (toxicity) can result in loss of appetite, weight loss, heartrhythm abnormalities and elevated blood-calcium levels with subsequence heart, kidney and blood-vessel damage. Toxicity does not occur from excessive sun exposure. High intake of enriched vitamin D foods is also unlikely to cause toxicity so the problem lies in the overconsumption of supplements. Vitamin E is the name given to a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. There are eight chemical forms but only one (alpha-tocopherol) is recognized to meet human requirements. It is responsible for protecting cells from freeradical damage and is involved in immune function, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression and various other metabolic processes. It also inhibits protein kinase C activity (an enzyme) and indirectly dilates blood vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation (clumping). Most dietary sources of vitamin E come from nuts and oils. These include wheatgerm oil; almonds and hazelnuts; soybean oil; sunflower seeds and sunflower oil; peanuts, peanut butter and peanut oil; safflower oil; and corn oil. It can also be found in spinach, broccoli, kiwis, tomatoes and mangoes. The RDA is 6 IU (4 milligrams) for those up to age 6 months, 7.5 IU (5 milligrams) for those from 6 to 12 months, 9 IU (6 milligrams) for ages 1 to 3, 10.4 IU (7 milligrams) for ages 4 to 8, 16.4 IU (11 milligrams) for those 9 to 13, and 22.4 (15 milligrams) for those over age 14. Lactating women should consume 28.4 IU (19 milligrams) daily. Deficiency is rare, and symptoms have not been found in otherwise healthy people who fail to get adequate amounts from their diets. Deficiency is most common in individuals with an underlying condition that causes fat malabsorption. Symptoms include peripheral neuropathy, immune impairment, retinopathy and more. Research has not shown that vitamin E obtained from a healthful diet can cause toxicity; however, supplements can cause problems to include poor clotting and hemorrhage.

However, Maynard, in full view of a mob of reporters, was wearing a grotesque clown mask resembling the face of the character Pennywise in the Stephen
King novel “It,” and he declined numerous opportunities to comment on why he was wearing it. (After a threeweek trial, Adams was acquitted.)
Least Competent Criminals
Elusive Perps: (1) Armed-robbery convict Edward Nathan Jr. escaped from a Florida work-release center in 1983 and, as “Claude Brooks” and other identities, managed to avoid police for the next 27 years, until he slipped up in December in Atlanta — arrested after being caught urinating in public. He was returned to Florida and charged with escape. (2) Accused thief Anthony Darwin, 30, who had successfully eluded authorities in Wisconsin since 2004, turned himself in to Sheriff Bob
Spoden in Janesville in January, apparently only because he needs treatment for cancer. However, not wanting to pay for the expensive surgery, Spoden asked a judge to dismiss the arrest warrant and put Darwin back on the street. (Judge Alan Bates released Darwin for treatment, which will surely be paid for by the taxpayer, although perhaps not on the sheriff’s account.)
Recurring Themes
The Country Afraid of Its Own Shadow: (1) Britain’s Oxfordshire County Council, which oversees youth swimming classes, banned goggles from the pools in February because of the fear that kids might snap the elastic bands and hurt their eyes. (2) Malvern Primary School in Huyton, Merseyside, recently banned play with regulation
soccer balls because they are made of leather. “Football,” it ruled, must be played with less-dangerous sponge balls.
An Odd Files Classic (December 1992)
The German news agency Deutsche Presse Agentur reported in November (1992) on Japanese inventor Kenji Kawakami’s “New Idea Academy,” which features his own innovations and counts among his most successful products a portable washing machine that straps onto the user’s leg (swirling the clothes with each step); a travel necktie with room for writing utensils and a calculator; padded booties for cats so they can dust the floor while walking around; and a “solar flashlight” that provides a strong beam of light as long as the sun is shining.

Golfers swing ‘fore’ smiles at annual tournament By Bianca Kaplanek
RANCHO SANTA FE — Athletes, actors and area residents swung “fore” smiles at the 19th annual Fresh Start for Kids Celebrity Golf Classic on March 14 at Morgan Run Club & Resort. The two-day event was again hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, best known as Carlton on “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” and Grant Show of “Melrose Place” fame. It began the night before with cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions and entertainment by Dat Phan, the first winner of “Last Comic Standing.” About 160 golfers played in the tournament, which featured food and beverages along the course and contests that included prizes for closest to the pin and longest drive. The event raised approximately $150,000, about $15,000 more than last year. Founded in 1991, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts provides free reconstructive surgery and comprehensive medical services to children and young adults who suffer from physical deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse or disease. The Carlsbad-based nonprofit organization offers multidisciplinary care and continuous follow-up. While some surgeries are fairly simple, others are extremely complex and require numerous surgeries and medical treatments over the course of many years. More than 600 local volunteers provide all donated services that include surgeries, laser treatments, speech sessions, consultations and evaluations. Fresh Start’s next fundraiser is a Cinco de Mayo half marathon May 1 at the Irvine Spectrum. The organization is forming a team to participate in a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1K for children or 50K bike tour for cyclists. Visit freshstart.org for more information.

JEAN GILLETTE Small Talk
Where can I redeem my E tickets?
I really do not get out enough. I just found out that a handful of the original Disneyland rides I remember well are gone … and have been for a while. It just never occurred to me to check. My favorite of the now defunct group was the submarine ride. Somehow, in spite of claustrophobic leanings, that ride grabbed my imagination and whimsy. I absolutely loved its mermaids, giant squid and sea serpent. I figured it must still be there, because I took my children on it in the early ‘90s, which was just a minute ago, right? I think I have spotted a pattern here and it’s no surprise, really. I have known for some time that my life is rocketing by me so fast you’d think I wouldn’t need a facelift. I have become reasonably adept at ignoring many of the obvious harbingers of time racing by, but every now and then, updates like the Disneyland rides snap me back to reality. The good news is that Disneyland replaced my beloved, yet cheesy submarine with the “Finding Nemo” ride. I haven’t been on it yet, but I am such a fan of that movie, that I have to applaud the upgrade. It seems the park has also said goodbye to the Skyway. We thought it especially cool because it went right through the top of the Matterhorn. I got a double whammy upon finding that the PeopleMover was replaced with Rocket Rods in 1995. I don’t think I ever even saw those and they, too, disappeared in 1998. The tracks just sit there unused now, which just seems terribly unDisneylike. The others gone missing include the low-tech Old Mine Train through Frontierland. I only have memories of riding it near dusk, which I believe is when we would finally give in because our feet were too tired to walk anymore. My children, raised along with the Mario Brothers, will be thrilled to hear that “Luigi’s Flying Tires,” part of a new Cars Land opening in 2012, will replace a ride even I don’t remember, called “Flying Saucers.” From the looks of it, it was like a giant air hockey table, but the discs didn’t do much except bounce a little.

Local artist gives back to community By Lillian Cox
DEL MAR — Last year Heather Roddy learned firsthand that when one door closes, another one opens. For four years the artist sat outside the Enchanted Gallery at the Flower Hill Promenade, where her work was displayed, painting and greeting visitors. Her whimsical art also lined the walkway. A year ago her world was rocked when the gallery closed its doors. Despite the setback, she continued to paint outdoors, on the upper and lower levels of the mall. “Shoppers as well as Pannikin goers were able to SADDLE UP !"#$%"&'()**+',"--,'.#/0$/01,'#,'2"--'#,'3405$/)0#-'#&$ watch a painting evolve from -/6"' $%/,' 5%#/&' $/$-"*' 78#**-"' 9.:' #$' $%"' !"#$%"&' ()**+' ;#--"&+' /0' $%" scratch,” she remembers. “I met some lovely people, <-)2"&'!/--'=&)>"0#*"?

some who are now collectors of my original works. I painted everything, all sizes and subjects such as dogs, roosters, people and flowers.” Among those who woul d walk by were Jeffrey Essakow, mall owner, and Rose Jabin, mall manager, who encouraged her efforts to liven up the promenade. In addition to displaying her art outdoors, Roddy placed paintings in the windows of vacant stores. “I joked about having my own gallery here one day,” she recalls. “After all, that’s every artist’s dream ... and my mascot is a flying pig.” Essakow didn’t think Roddy’s idea was farfetched.
“Long story short, I was given the keys to the onceoccupied Morrison Hotel Gallery and in Jeffrey’s words told, ‘Get in there and do your thing and let’s see what happens,’” she said. “I call that faith on Jeffrey’s part. Rose has been an incredible support, guiding the ins and outs of having my own space and dropping by for coffee and healthy banter about new ideas for events.” Today, Roddy rents on a month-to-month basis, relying on the support of the community to continue. “People walk in with their dogs and coffee or stay for a glass of wine — it’s very interactive,” she said. “I will be TURN TO GIVE BACK ON B13

Another chance to be a part of Fletcher Cove By Bianca Kaplanek
SOLANA BEACH — Residents who were unable to be included in the original Fletcher Cove Park donor tile project will have another opportunity to leave a lasting impression in the area. The city will remove what City Engineer Mo Sammak described as the “dull, typical concrete and stucco” retaining wall at the northeast corner that separates the park from the community center. At the March 10 meeting, council members authorized an agreement with local artist Betsy Schulz to replace it with a mosaic art wall. The proposed wall,
which will be about 40 feet long and 2 feet high, will be built with colored concrete and textured to match the existing seat wall in the park. Designed by Councilman Mike Nichols, a landscape architect, it will have a wave shape on top and include the words “Fletcher Cove.” The tiles will be designed, fabricated and installed by Schulz, who did the existing walls at Fletcher Cove. Unlike that project, city staff will handle all applications and tile placement, which will be chosen by random selection, City Manager David Ott said. “This will be a staff-controlled initiative, unlike the
previous time,” Ott said. “Staff will take all requests ... to make sure everything is fairly allocated.” The wall will accommodate between 40 and 50 tiles that will be available for $700 each. The project cost, estimated to be $21,100, includes $1,400 to demolish the existing wall, $4,900 to build a new one and $14,800 to create and install new tiles. Additionally, a 14square-foot area of the boardwalk that was recently removed to repair damage to the storm drainage system will be replaced with tiles. Five donor tiles for $700 each or one large tile for $3,000 will be sold for that area.
Project cost is estimated at $2,200. Any funds raised over the cost for both projects will go toward the current renovation of the community center. Council members unanimously supported the new wall but some were concerned about the cost, which is $200 more per tile. “This is kind of pricey from my perspective,” Councilman Tom Campbell said. “I think it’s great. I love the concept. But we’re perhaps pricing it so some people just can’t afford to do it that would like to do it.” “We want to make sure TURN TO COVE ON B15

Modern community center born in Cardiff By Lillian Cox
CARDIFF BY THE SEA — Twins Ash Francomb and Kris DeGranzio have enjoyed much success in their 42 years: Francomb as a fashion designer whose bikinis were featured in the 2005 swimsuit edition of “Sports Illustrated.” DeGranzio as a professional photographer with credits that include shooting the annual swimsuit issue for “Surfing Girl” in Hawaii two years in a row
and the Rip Curl campaign in Kauai. They also collaborated in designing the graphics for sportswear for the girls division of Billabong. Most recently they partnered in two businesses: Ash Francomb Made in California vintage surf and yoga clothing line and PCH 101 Studio, a California tropical-inspired design studio. Their latest venture is Green Flash, a modern community center in Cardiff that
celebrates the local art, music, yoga and surf culture. “It’s a place for people to meet and connect,” DeGranzio explained. “People connect today, but it’s online. Real people are doing real things together here. They are getting face time again.” The idea for the center arose last summer when the twins were looking for a venue for a two-day art show they wanted to produce
titled “Blue Realm.” Ultimately, they couldn’t resist signing a lease for the space, which boasted a stunning ocean view. Since then, they have hosted six thematic shows, one showcasing the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and another the Cardiff campground.

Taste of Wine Mourvedre is one of those wines that wind up in the back of a country’s list of popular wines with maybe a couple of paragraphs. Like Aglianico in the Campania District of Italy, Mourvedre tends to get lost and labeled as a blending grape with its more-well-known companion in the south of France, Grenache. Although Grenache would be my first choice for a worldwide breakout, lip-smacking sultry Mourvedre (pronounced more-vehd-ruh) with its rich, visceral taste, could very well be the next big thing in the southern Rhone Valley. Talk to Ted Plemons, a partner at Cass Vineyard and Winery in the Paso Robles district in the Central Coast of California, and he will underline that prediction. “We bottled the 2008 Mourvedre in January of last year and it surprised us how fast it sold out at $38 a bottle,” he said. At the recent Family Winemakers of California event in Del Mar, he unveiled a large box container with a faucet that was filled with a blend called Flying Nymph. This sultry combination is the essence of southern Rhone, with Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache. The vintage is 2009 so it’s

still flying around with ripe cherry, strawberry and currants. A 750 ML bottle is $12.50 and the box, which is 18 liters of wine, goes for $100. That means with a 4ounce pour, you could get 124 pours. The fruit is all estate and made by the Cass winemaker. Just to set the record straight, Mourvedre is really native to Spain where it is
called Monastrell and second to Granache (Garnacha in Spain) in importance. It was brought to the south of France in the 19th century and shortly after, found its way to California where there is now about 400 acres grown.

Real pirate exhibit just one of Denver’s draws
Business news and special achievements for North San Diego County. Send information via e-mail to community@ coastnewsgroup.com.
E’LOUISE ONDASH Hit the Road Come for the pirates; stay for the history, museums, art, shopping, trails, food and fun. I’m talking about Denver — a city that’s always been on my way to somewhere else. This time, though, my husband and I stayed to see what the Mile High City has to offer. In three-and-a-half days, we only scratched the surface. We began with pirates — that is, “Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship.” This exhibition at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (through Aug. 21) features more than 200 artifacts from the Whydah, a slaveship-turned-pirate-ship that sank in 1717 off the coast of Cape Cod.This fast-sailing vessel, heavy with the bounty of 53 other ships, went down in a storm. It is the only pirate ship that has been discovered off the U.S. coast. It wasn’t until 1984 that the Whydah was discovered and much of its contents retrieved by underwater explorer Barry Clifford. A veteran diver, he and his co-workers recovered more than 100,000 artifacts from the ship. The retrieval continues. Visit nationalgeographic.com/ whydah/story.html. The Whydah artifacts are both glorious and scary.

The latter includes a strikingly small leg bone and a little leather shoe, probably belonging to 10-year-old John King, who insisted on sailing with the crew.Visitors also see a fearful body-shaped, cagelike contraption that was used to hang pirates in public places as a warning to others. Other mesmerizing souvenirs from the deep include the ship’s bell, interestingly displayed in a water-filled aquarium; a pistol; cannons and cannonballs; sword handles; and treasure — lots and lots of gold and silver coins called “pieces of eight.” They
are so named because these Spanish coins, the first world currency, were worth eight reales each. There are several stations where kids can enjoy hands-on activities, and everyone can touch some pieces of eight through Plexiglas barriers. Through the miracle of technology, visitors can experience the rolling of a pirate ship from the captain’s quarters. (If you tend to get motion sickness, close your eyes or move on.) What visitors might be surprised to learn is that life aboard a pirate ship was quite
democratic. The legitimate sailor’s life was one of hard labor, abuse and little pay, but pirates collectively elected officers, voted on the ship’s course and shared equally in the loot. Not surprisingly, pirate profits generally dissipated quickly once they were in port. There were many temptations and plenty of people to lighten the pirates’ pockets. The 13,000-square-foot interactive exhibit is more than just a display of pirate treasure, though.Thankfully, it doesn’t gloss over the horrific history of the slave trade and
its relationship to piracy. It explains the “triangle route” that operated between Africa, the Caribbean and the thensouthern American colonies. There are reproductions of the shackles worn by Africans who were jammed into ships’ holds and made to endure inhumane conditions. Often many died before arriving in the Caribbean or the South. Pirates favored these slave ships because they were built for speed. However, if they were captured by pirates, the Africans and some of the TURN TO HIT THE ROAD ON B19

Local woman earns history award RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe resident Phyllis Paul was presented with the Ben Dixon Award by the Congress of History on March 4. The award is the highest award given to an individual, recognizing her for her involvement and advocacy in historic preservation in Rancho Santa Fe. Dixon was the original founder of the Congress of History and holds an annual conference of academic lectures on San Diego and regional history. This year’s theme was They Made a Difference: The Unsung History of Women in the San Diego Region. Paul is a California native and a graduate from Stanford University. She and her husband and children moved to Rancho Santa Fe in the early 1970s. Paul had a keen interest in historic homes and sites and fell in love with the romanticism and rich history of Rancho Santa Fe, the original Rancho San Dieguito land grant to Don Juan Maria Osuna. Early on she became involved in the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. Her first project with the Society was to conduct a survey of historical homes and commercial buildings mostly designed by master architect Lillian Rice.

Cancer fitness program helps patients and survivors thrive By Lillian Cox
CARLSBAD — The term “cancer fitness” sounds like an oxymoron. That is, until meeting Susan Webster and Deb Snyder and seeing that you can have cancer and still be fit. Recently Webster and Snyder founded North County Cancer Fitness, or NCCF, to share their experience and hope with others.
Their program is offered at the state-of-the-art Tri-City Wellness Center at 6250 El Camino Real near Palomar Airport. NCCF offers classes and support in the areas of exercise, nutrition and complimentary health care activities to cancer patients and survivors who are newly diagnosed, in the midst of chemotherapy and radiation,

Pioneering the pest control industry
COAST CITIES — When you see the trail of ants or find spider webs glistening everywhere on your way to the morning paper, it’s time to call Corky’s Pest Control. There is no reason to let ants, spiders, rodents, termites or any of the hundreds of potentially damaging pests wreak havoc on your beautiful home. Corky’s can solve your problem,and save you money and aggravation. Success in the pest control business, like most businesses, is a combination of experience, knowledge and dedication. Four decades of expertise and knowledge of our climate, our particular pest problems, and an expert’s knowledge of the products will best provide solutions for every customer. Owner Corky Mizer has over time added more services, products and diversity to his company in order to provide his customers with the greatest value. Besides the basic high-quality pest control service that forms the core of his company, he has added the best people in each discipline to make new business divisions within Corky’s Pest Control. Included is his termite inspection and fumigation division. Corky’s is the first company to include a picture termite inspection process that allows the inspector to send pictures of the home while he is there and receive back a state-recognized termite inspection e-mailed to the customer in a minimum amount of time. Corky can also eradicate the termites in several ways,repair any structural damage that is found, and offer ongoing termite inspection, prevention and removal. Included in the termite eradication process is a four-year guarantee, knowing that if the job is done right it will last longer than that.

Among his knowledgeable staff is a full-time plant pathologist so they can find lasting and effective solutions to every problem.

Turn your yard into a lush retreat You don’t need to go on vacation to enjoy the ambiance of a tropical resort.With a little imagination you can create a lush landscape for your yard that’s so comfortable and appealing you won’t want to leave home. Jason Jarvis, president of Terra Bella Landscape Development which specializes in luxurious outdoor living spaces, suggests you start your landscape planning by deter-
mining your main activities, such as relaxing, entertaining and playing, then plan from there. He offers these tips to transform your outdoor space into the yard of your dreams.
Select plants for drama and effect
Don’t be afraid to go big and bold, filling areas of your yard with a variety of plants to create a tropical setting like your favorite vacation spots.
— Choose large, leafy green base plants as the starting point. — Create a jungle-like setting with textures, colors, and dramatic leaf shapes. — Cram the plants together for a lush look. One of Jarvis’ more popular techniques is planting in layers with smaller plants in the front, medium-sized in the middle and tall, bold plants in the back.Not only does this add
privacy from the neighbors, but it also creates the feel of a tropical landscape.

Senior home accepting applications VISTA – Residential applications are being accepted for the opening of McIntosh Manor, an upscale licensed RCFE (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly) assisted living home nestled in the historic Guajome Fruit Colony of Vista. There are nine positions. The 1.5 acre property features sweeping panoramas of manicured grounds and orchards. Benches provide a view of Guajome Lake which is surrounded by one of the larger freshwater marsh habitats in San Diego County and home to endangered bird species such as the California Least Tern and the Light Footed Clapper Rail. Both the dining and living areas, and bedroom suites, are tastefully decorated with furniture made of solid wood and elegant appointments. Each bedroom has a phone. To promote optimum health and wellbeing, a customized health plan is developed for each resident addressing a spectrum of needs and requirements that incorporate regular exercise with caregivers as well as visits with physical therapists who come on a regular basis. Since it is believed that nutrition is key to physical well being, three meals are served each day, most cooked from scratch with homegrown organic fruits and vegetables harvested on the property.

When Lois, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, recently called an air conditioning and heating company because her heater wasn't working, she had no idea what would lie ahead. She explained to the dispatcher of the company that her heater had stopped working. He of course dispatched a technician out to her home. Lois wasn't too concerned with the cost of the repair, as her home was only about ten years old. She knew she probably just needed a tune-up or a minor repair. Lois was surprised when the service technician told her that she needed an entirely new unit, which would cost her about $10,000! It simply did not make sense to her. It was her understanding that air-conditioners have a 20 year life span. The technician insisted that her unit could not be repaired. He offered many incentives to her, but something didn't seem right. That is when Lois decided to call around to get a second opinion. She came across a company called “The Honest Guys.com” and phoned them right away. When Lois called The Honest Guys, she was surprised to learn that they would come out to her home for free to diagnose her unit. Upon inspection, Reb Brown, the owner of the company, found that Lois's unit was simply in need of a $65.00 capacitor. Reb explained to Lois that unfortunately air-conditioning and heating companies are notorious for ripping off customers. In fact, when we interviewed Reb, he told us about an ABC news investigative story in the 1990's whereby several air conditioning contractors were called out to homes in the greater Los Angeles Area for repairs to units that were in perfect working order. The investigative reporter found that all but 2 of the 8 contractors that were called out were actually honest enough to say that there wasn't anything wrong with the units! 80 percent of the companies lied, and stated that there were major repairs needed on the units. Reb explained that he comes across this situation weekly. “It's an unfortunate thing,”he explains. “I have built my business on integrity and trust. I could TURN TO SCAMMED ON B7

about Corky’s Pest Control is that their service can be customized to fit individual needs and budgets. Their technicians can come to your house, evaluate the problems and provide solutions for each situation. If you live a green lifestyle, you’d be surprised to know most products used by Corky’s are botanicals, natural products that control pests that are environmentally friendly. You can request all botanicals if that is your preference. For properties that are fully landscaped and the customer does most of their own landscape work, Corky’s can provide periodic professional help to keep insects and pests under control and out of your life. Even with regular maintenance, when summer comes and brings out the pests in force, Corky’s can adjust their service schedule to meet those increased needs. Many of our most common pests are attracted to aphids and whiteflys who spend their time on roses, hibiscus, citrus, and other fruit trees. The honeydew these insects secrete is what attracts the ants, spiders, and other crawling insects, so ongoing treatments to discourage and eliminate these tempting treats for our unwanted pests are what create an insect- and pestfree yard so you can enjoy the best of the Southern California weather. For more than 44 years, Corky has satisfied thousands of residential, commercial, and mobile home customers. Comments like the following are ongoing: “I want to thank you for the excellent service your company has provided over the past twenty years … and Steve has been a wonderful employee servicing our home.” This is why Corky’s sprays more residential homes and landscapes in San Diego. Corky’s has continued to provide interior and exterior pest control, termite control, fumigation and repair, home repair service and much, much more.

Sanctuary Lands & The City of Peace Ten years ago Stefan Jacob went to La Paz in search of the pristine oceanfront lands. He wanted to find a place that wasn’t yet cluttered with tourist development — a place where he could wander for miles along wide open beaches in sublime nature.The area he found is still a sanctuary, in the yet undeveloped Pacific coast of Baja, west of La Paz — “The City of Peace.” It is the ideal place for people who love unspoiled places and tranquility. It is a place where you still can ride horses on sandy beaches, let go of the stress of the world and find peace. Sanctuary Lands grew out of this experience. Sanctuary Lands focuses exclusively on lands of great natural beauty, off the beaten path of glitzy tourism, yet close enough to civilization for easy access to shopping and air travel. All the properties come from friends and associates who are mostly Americans and Canadians, and range in size from small oceanfront and sea view parcels, to huge personal, family, or community retreat properties of thousands of acres.The properties are often surprisingly inexpensive because they are not in the common tourist corridors. One listing is 13,000 acres with 2.5 miles of sandy beachfront — three times the size of the whole town of Rancho Santa Fe, and almost as large as Manhattan, N.Y., at a price less

than some people pay for a house here. Contrary to the common news about Mexico, the La Paz region of Baja is peaceful, with low crime and some of the highest education and income levels in the country. It is a small city of 250,000 people and is the capital of the state of Baja California Sur (“Baja South”), about two hours north of Los Cabos. La Paz maintains an old world charm while providing modern services with non-stop
flights to Los Angeles. It has a friendly laid-back atmosphere, and is also the eco-tourism center for all southern Baja, with snorkelling, scuba diving, sea kayaking and fishing available right from town. All along the harbor is a 5-mile promenade where families stroll in the evening eating home made ice cream,and jog in the mornings. La Paz is still very much a family town, where people can walk safely any time of day or night.

Quality tree service — only if you need it COAST CITIES — They are the some of the largest living things on the planet and they’re always changing. They also make up 15 percent of your property value. What are they? Trees. The above facts are courtesy of Brian Bishop, owner of Bishop’s Tree Service. Bishop says his business was borne out of a lifelong love of trees, and the quality of service he offers can attest to that. “When I was a little kid, I thought Paul Bunyon and his ox was the coolest thing ever,” he said. “I wanted to cut trees. When I was 16 I just started cutting trees on my own. Around 1994 I became a certified arborist.” The rest is history. Today, Bishop’s has a staff of nine, who offer a variety of tree services. Crown cleaning, crown reduction, crown restoration, lifting and raising, thinning, tree removal, stump grinding, line clearance and brush clearance are all offered. Bishop and his team take pride in what they do. Their bottom line is about saving you money and saving your trees. It’s not about up-selling. “I will tell someone, ‘You don’t need me. The tree’s fine. Come back to me in two years,’” he said. “I’m a tree guy, not a salesman. It’s what I do because I want to do it. The more I can educate people, the more I can do quality tree work.Raising the industry standard.” As consumers we are used to hearing the phrase,“The customer is always right.” Bishop doesn’t necessarily subscribe to that theory. “When we do estimates, I ask questions.The customer isn’t always right. I give the most inexpensive alternative for long-term management.” Bishop’s pride in his work and his knowledge come from his years of experience and also his role as president of the Professional Tree Care Association of San Diego, or PTCA.“The mission of PTCA is education,” he said. “Basically the reason I agreed to be president is because I believe in education.” Bishop also believes in giving back. “We donate work to San Diego Botanic Garden on a regular basis. I believe in giving something back to the community where we can.” In a community that prides itself on its trees, Bishop’s Tree Service stands out. “The difference between me and a lot of people out there is that out of our nine employees, five are certified arborists. You won’t find that ratio anywhere.” What this means for customers is that you get a certified arborist in your tree. “It takes about 20 minutes to screw up a tree forever.” Bishop stresses the importance of getting the job done right and getting it done right the first time.

A closer look at Rowe school’s science program By Patty McCormac
RANCHO SANTA FE — Before Kelly Stine became a science teacher at R. Roger Rowe School, she worked at Birch Aquarium where students from all over the county came on field trips. When students visited from Rowe, she said the aquarium educators routinely kicked up their curriculum at least one grade level and sometimes higher. “We knew these kids knew their stuff,” she said. Stine has been teaching science at Rowe now for eight years and is very passionate about the program. “There is a lot of value placed on science here,” she said. “Our kids take science from kindergarten on. It is a big part of the school.” On a recent day, Stine’s seventh grade Life Science class was examining owl pellets, regurgitated fur and bones, which are indigestible by owls. “It’s a little gross, but is kind of cool to see how an animal digests its food,” said Sandra Sandria as she and her lab partner Melissa De Luca picked through the pellets with tweezers recovering teeth and bones. Next door, teacher David Warner teaches physics and math. He also runs the Tech 21 Lab that helps students learn how science applies to everyday life. The Tech 21 Lab was developed as an elective course for students interested in rocketry, robotics, car

design, CAD and other technology-related science courses. Students have the ability to explore science through technology. This class is offered to students in grades five through eight. “Just fantastic options and we have quality, quality teachers,” Stine said. Lindy Delaney, superintendent of the school district, said that such emphasis is put on science because it is an integral part of life and a student’s educational experience. “Science incorporates all of the other disciplines and allows students the opportunity to explore the world around them. We hope
to provide many different experiences for our students — science being an important element of their education,” Delaney said.

Closing statements made in trial of ex-Marine accused of murder By Shelli DeRobertis
VISTA — Days after a judge delivered a life prison sentence to a former Camp Pendleton Marine for murdering an Oceanside man over a car restoration, a jury is deciding if the other Marine involved is also guilty of firstdegree murder for his role in the bloody death. Former Lance Cpl. Raphael Ramey, 21, was sentenced March 14, to life in prison without parole for the stabbing and beating death of Charles Evan Williams, 23.
Former Pfc. Xavier Akeem Adams, 20, is charged as a co-defendant in the brutal slaying of Williams, which took place on a quiet Sunday in August 2009 in the office of the auto restoration shop Williams owned. He is also charged with a special circumstance allegation of using a knife and lying in wait. “They went to see him to slaughter him,”Deputy District Attorney Minaz Bhayani said during closing statements of Adams’ trial on March 17.
Adams and Ramey were both arrested at a residence in Fallbrook the day after the murder,and were apprehended when they tried to enter Williams’ silver Cadillac that was located near the residence. During the police video-
tape interview, Ramey admitted to the killing and said he was furious at how long his car was taking to be restored, and felt he was being “punked” by Williams, whom he said kept lying about when the car would be ready.
Ramey said he had paid Williams $12,500 nearly two months ago for the restoration of a 1970 Chevy Impala, and needed his car because he was going on leave to Texas. He downplayed Adams’ role in the murder.
But Adams admitted to stabbing Williams a couple of times during his statement to police. Evidence was recovered in the trunk of the Cadillac,which TURN TO MURDER ON B12

Tree stump transformed into public art at local beach park By Wehtahnah Tucker
ENCINITAS — The latest installation of public art in the city is a result of nature taking its course and the ingenuity of making the best out of a sad situation. An 80-year-old Torrey pine removed from Swami’s
park in January after falling victim to a bark beetle infestation is taking new form as local artist Tim Richards works diligently to create a tiki out of the 11-foot-tall section of the tree left by work crews. Other parts of the tree were taken by artists to be
used in private collection pieces. City Council voted in February to allow the stump to be carved into an Easter Island head. “This whole process started in
schools going into the playoff schedule. First-round playoffs for the varsity crown begin at 6 p.m. March 29 at Rancho Bernardo High School, 13010 Paseo Lucido in San Diego, featuring Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest Academy High School, Mt. Carmel High School, Carlsbad High School and Rancho Buena Vista High School, Rancho Bernardo High School, Fallbrook High School and Valley Center High School.

SOLANA BEACH — The transformation of Lomas Santa Fe Plaza into a “lifestyles” center won’t begin for at least another 10 months. At the March 10 City Council meeting, property owner American Assets received a one-year extension for the project, located on Lomas Santa Fe Drive east of Interstate 5. Without it the permits would have expired next month and a new application would have been required for the redevelopment. Since the original approval in April 2009, economic conditions have declined considerably, making preleasing difficult, John Chamberlain, president of American Assets, wrote in his request for the extension. “Our leasing team is aggressively marketing this

Being a palm lover, a tree man, a landscaper and designer, it is sometimes hard to swallow the bitter truth when you think you’re an expert with plants and you come to find out you’ve made a mistake. In my experience, I have come to learn that certain remedies work for a good majority of plants but not all. Case in point, one of my favorite palms, the Lady Finger or Rhapis palm, is finicky. If you put this tree in the full shade, or inside a building, it will typically do very well and turn a deep dark emerald green color with shiny bright leaves.

included two bloodstained knives, bloody clothing and shoes, and a picture of the evidence was shown in the courtroom on a large screen. Bhayani said that everything Adams did was supporting Ramey in Williams’ death. “You can’t discriminate between a perpetrator and an aider and abetter,” he said to the jury.“This is a singular entity. All Ramey’s actions are attributable to Adams’ and vice versa.” He said that two weeks before the murder, Ramey was getting angry about the car and talked to Adams about it. They talked about “jacking” Williams, and Adams told Ramey “I got your back,” Bhayani said.
MARCH 25, 2011 There was a plan for the day, date, time, location and manner of death, he said. “They controlled that,” Bhayani said. An appointment was rescheduled from a Saturday to a Sunday to see Williams at his shop, Classic Luxury Street Concepts, and have him sign a fake contract to ship the Impala to Texas when it was finished. The plan was to get Williams and trap him — and Ramey brought two knives he had purchased at Wal-Mart, and brought Adams along to the appointment for added muscle. He said Ramey waited and watched for an opportunity to act,and when Williams sat down at his desk to work on the contract, Ramey gave a signal to Adams, who was guarding the door. Then the stabbing began by Ramey with the first jab being at Williams’ throat, Bhayani said. He was stabbed more than 50 times. Adams was the very last hope that Williams had, as he begged for his life, which included mentioning that he was a father and had a son, Bhayani said. But Adams stabbed him also, with a blade that went all the way to the bone, Bhayani said. Defense Attorney Matt Mohun said to the jury that he hoped they found Adams guilty of voluntary manslaughter instead of first-degree murder. “There’s no dispute that Adams was not the actual killer,” he said. “We all know who is.” He said the evidence supports the lack of required intent for the more serious charge, and asked for the jury to think about whether the murder would have happened if Ramey had done nothing. He argued that his client aided and abetted because of a sudden quarrel and acted rashly without due deliberation.

coming up on my one year anniversary in May and that will be a huge celebration!” Roddy, in turn, supports the community by making her gallery available for nonprofit events that benefit children, dogs and women’s shelters. Charities she has helped include Polinsky Children's Center, Rady Children's Hospital, Hearts for Healing - Scripps, the Jewish Community Center and PAWS - San Diego. In addition to the space, she donates one of her paintings for a silent auction and even refreshments. She also enjoys teaching. “I like to share what has taken me years to learn. I do away with the mystery, giving away every secret that has taken me years to learn. The expression on the students’ faces is everything when they see what they can accomplish by ‘Going for it!’” Linda Hawkins became a student after wandering
into the gallery last fall. “I’m on my fourth painting,” she said. “It’s a great atmosphere and Heather is fun. Any painting you walk out with is wonderful — she doesn’t let anything out that isn’t good.” In addition to acrylic paintings, Roddy creates furniture art and animal portraits including that of 2008 Kentucky Derby Winner “Big Brown.” Roddy is a native San Diego, the daughter of renowned painters Gary Jenkins and Susan Jenkins. Recently she was offered her own television show, teaching painting techniques, to be aired on PBS in the fall. Meanwhile, she counts her blessings and takes it one day at a time. “Let’s face it,” she said. “I’m here on a wing and a prayer. There are great months and scary ones, too, just like anything. People are very surprised to see a gallery staying open during ‘these times.’ I’m told over and over and over again that the feel-
ing in my gallery is magical, inspirational, uplifting, energetic. Are we not deserving of these feelings?” Roddy uses the analogy of fresh flowers to convey the importance of having a piece of original art in the home. “The right paintings will give off amazing vibrations, however, they will never perish but continue to give back,” she said. Heather Roddy’s Gallery is located at the Flower Hill Promenade, Suite A220, in Del Mar. The gallery is open seven days a week, from noon until 8 p.m. Children’s classes are scheduled Sundays between 3 and 6 p.m. and adults Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:35 p.m. and Fridays from 3 to 6 p.m. Cost is $75 for three hours. Purchase of art cards, five classes at $75/each, includes one free class. For more information, visit heatherroddyartgallery .com or call (858) 395-5605.

November,” Richards said. After the city’s Arts Administrator, Jim Gilliam, accepted submissions, several committees and departments approved the final design before it headed to the council. Richards and his son, Justin Ames, have teamed up to transform the stump within the next two weeks. “It’s been a really interesting experience,” Richards said. “When I first heard about it, I thought it was a great opportunity to create something in that space.” This is his first public art piece. Both men are donating their time. In a city that highly values its tree population, many were sad to see the majestic tree come down. The Torrey pine became infested with the bark beetle last summer.The insects reproduce and feed inside older trees, while also cutting off their vascular system. After efforts to save the tree failed, Encinitas crews cut it down Jan. 13 to keep the beetles from spreading to neighboring trees. Terry Smith, the city’s park and beach supervisor, said two replacement Torrey pines also were planted near where the infested Torrey pine stood. Richards is an award-winning member of the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. His carvings are 100 percent wood and he prefers recycled wood selecting from pine, spruce, cedar, redwood, basswood, aspen and poplar. A variety of hand and power tools are used to carve the pieces. The painting is all done by hand using acrylics, oil paints and
other subject-specific professionals,” Delaney said. Tanya Baumgardner, sixth-grade science teacher, said she believes that Rowe is already one of the leaders of the STEM Initiative announced by President Barack Obama last fall. Its purpose is to get more students interested in science, technology, engineering and math, to prepare them for future jobs and competition on the world stage. Baumgardner said she believes one of the reasons the science program at Rowe is so successful is that it strikes a balance between the literacy and the hands-on experiences.
“We have to prepare them for future careers,” she said. Stine said because Rowe students have been immersed in science since the beginning of their schooling, many find it a natural progression when they leave. “A lot of our students choose it as their life.” She said science is ever changing with new discoveries on every level. “This is one of the fields that is ongoing. There is nothing flatline about it,” she said. Stine said this generation will change the world on every level through science with how they think, vote and conduct their adult lives
clear coats. Although Richards was at the mercy of stormy weather this past weekend, he remained optimistic about the timeline for completion. “I got rained out over the weekend,” he said with a sigh. He estimates another two weeks and the project should be done. An unveiling is scheduled for April 4. “Hopefully, I’ll be done before that if the weather holds.” With a chainsaw and hand tools for the woodcarving, Richards makes steady progress each day he works on the tree he said despite constant interruptions. “All day long people want to talk to me,” he said. “I
wasn’t expecting this much attention.” “Most people are supportive (of the woodcarving),” Richards reported. The ones who are not on board have also expressed their opinion to the artist. “They say it’s not appropriate; that it should be a swami or a surfer,” he said. “I still think it’s the best use for that log,” he said. Simplicity is key with a woodcarving that might not last for more than a few years. “It’s temporary and that’s the fun thing for me — to see how long it will last.” The self-taught retired artist moved to Encinitas in 1985. He now splits his time between Utah and his coastal hideaway.

scarf, skinny as a rail and hoping to get stronger,” Snyder remembers. “I looked at Susan and said ‘I want to look like you.’” Webster explained that she had also been through breast cancer surgery earlier, and that the experience left her exhausted and barely able to walk. Inspired by Webster’s story, Snyder reached out and asked if she would train her. Webster accepted the challenge. “I decided we have to have a program to help Deb gain weight, get in shape and become stronger,” Webster remembers. The two became fast friends, meeting for walks and tea. Webster decided to return to school where she first became a certified personal trainer, then a certified cancer exercise trainer. It was at the end of 2009 that the idea to start a nonprofit was born. Tri-City

required statement of economic interests, Devaney said at the March 7 council meeting she could find no basis “that would lead me to recommend to the city of Del Mar that Mr.Hilliard should recuse himself from any discussions or decisions on the fairground issues that Del Mar is engaged in at present.” “Therefore, the decision whether or not to recuse himself from these discussions is
Mr. Hilliard’s decision alone,” she said. “I’m unrecused,” Hilliard said in response. “There was never any doubt about it at all but because of the serious allegations that were made it had to ... be thoroughly investigated.” Hilliard said Pfingst based his conclusion on a preliminary opinion given to him by the Fair Political Practices Commission.
Hilliard, an attorney, said a formal decision from the FPPC generally takes about six months. Hilliard said he owns or co-owns about a dozen horses in California and Kentucky. He said in the past two years he has entered only one in the Del Mar race and it earned him $400. “I think I gave it (the horse) away,” he said.
Wellness Center stepped up and agreed to open up their facility to NCCF participants including the gym, two swimming pools, walk/jog track, yoga, Pilates reformer and personal training. Although the cost is $60 a month for a three-month program, scholarships are offered to make the program available to everyone. “Without the Wellness Center’s generosity, NCCF wouldn’t be in the position it is today to help those who can’t afford this,” Snyder explained. “We don’t turn anyone away. Period.” The program is also open to caregivers. Webster says that the idea for a cancer exercise training program arose from a 2006 study of oncology nurses who identified a need for a place for patients to go to get exercise, nutrition and support after finishing cancer treatment. “We learned a lot about the biology of cancer and side effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radia-
tion,” Webster explained. “Chemo aged my heart by 10 years. I am 50 but my heart is 60.” Today, Webster’s cancer is in remission. Snyder’s cancer is stable. “You have no control over genetics or whatever caused your cancer,” Webster explained. “But there is a possibility that you can reduce the recurrence of cancer by 40 percent if you stay active, eat right, keep your weight in range and manage stress.” A Fitness in Recovery class is offered Tuesday and Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the wellness center. Another class, Fighting Cancer with a Fork, will be offered at 6:30 p.m. April 28 by Erin Skoda, a registered dietician. The event is open to cancer patients, cancer survivors, caregivers and anyone interested in prevention. Cost is free. Snyder is buoyed by the support NCCF has received from the community including MiraCosta College, which
is helping generate volunteers and the office of Congressman Brian Bilbray, who was able to expedite their application for a 501(c)(3). “One thing Susan and I have found has been the generosity of people,” Snyder said. “If we tell them about our program, it’s usually followed by, ‘How can I help?’” “When I write thank you notes, I say, ‘Today you changed the life of a woman with breast cancer.’ It sounds dramatic, but it’s true. We change lives here, we do.” Although the nonprofit was originally created for patients with breast cancer, services have expanded to include all cancers. NCCF is open seven days a week.

root zone is poor for these trace elements due to transplant shock or a lack of roots during this phase, palms will actually pull these micro nutrients from their older or lower branches causing the existing foliage to yellow. This is also part of the reason that you don’t prune the fronds off a juvenile palm until it is completely brown and dry. Rhapis excelsa, or Lady Finger Palms as most of us know them, originated in China. Three hundred years ago, Japanese Samurai and nobles alike collected and crossed these diminutive plants and so were born a great many cultivars. Soon multiple dwarf varieties and variegated culti-

vars were created making for a wide range of Rhapis palm types. In the 1800s the Rhapis palm caught on in Europe and Great Britain. Noblemen and wealthy connoisseurs cherished these eye catching plants in their foyers and conservatories. These typical Rhapis would reach between 6 and 14 feet in height.Sometimes growing in large clumps many feet across. Being from Asia, these trees are not frost tolerant, they do require fairly warm ambient temperature to remain healthy and enjoy well draining soil. Herein lays my problem. Thinking that the yellowing was due to fertilizer deficit or cool temperatures, I began to water my Rhapis palms like
you would a Phoenix roebilini with even worse results. Finally, I was talking with one of my guys about the problem because at this point my trees were a sickly light yellow green color and had been that way for months.His recommendation was to stop watering the trees. So we did, I turned off all the drip emitters to these palms and it was literally amazing. In less than 3 weeks, 70 to 80 percent of the foliage began to turn dark green once again. It seems that overwatering is often more debilitating to a plant than under watering. Many things can happen to a plant that is over watered. Denitrification, or lack of nitrogen absorption, causes a chlorophyll shortage turning it yellow. Many plants will start to root

They also utilize the space for Green Flash Yoga, which is headed by popular yoga teacher Lauren Duke. There is no charge for lessons; the program operates exclusively on donations. To generate money, Francomb and Degranzio rent the space for corporate events. They also started hosting their own parties, drawing crowds of up to 500 guests. “In our other ventures the ‘people’ quotient was missing,” DeGranzio explained. “Our parties are really fun and they give North County a unique social outlet that was missing before.” Plans are under way for a regular dance night with a deejay and café night with an open mike for poetry recitations similar to those of the Beat generation in the 1950s.

ing offering guitar lessons and art classes for children. The sisters grew up on Wind ‘n Sea Beach in La Jolla. They lived in New York for several years, working in the fashion industry, prior to returning home. “We are drawn to the relaxed, natural vibe of North County,” DeGranzio explained. “Cardiff is a quintessential surf town community — perfect for a surf art gallery.” The sisters say the name of their community center was inspired by their mother, who used to tell them at sunset to “look for the green flash.” In August, Marta Karwowska joined the team at Green Flash, handling sales and assisting with the production of art shows and events. Often a portion of sales go to charities such as Greenpeace. Currently on exhibit is Green Flash’s first yoga art show titled, “Transpire.” Green Flash is located at 111 Chesterfield in Cardiff.
