Day at the Races aids cancer research community CALENDAR By Bianca Kaplanek
Unlike nearly everyone who has suffered from pneumonia, Paula Zinnemann feels “blessed” to have been diagnosed with the lung infection. “It saved my life,” she said. A little more than five years ago, while living in Rancho Santa Fe, Zinnemann was feeling sick and having trouble breathing, so she visited the emergency room of a nearby hospital. A chest X-ray revealed she had pneumonia. “That didn’t surprise me,” Zinnemann said. The test also detected a large mass in her right lung that was later confirmed to be stage 1B cancer. Zinnemann said her first thought was that the doctors were wrong. “What do they know?” she said. “My second reaction was, ‘How can that possibly be?’ “I’m healthy,” she said. “I eat right. I exercise. I was never a heavy smoker and I quit more than 30 years ago.” Doctors removed the lower lobe of Zinnemann’s right lung. She underwent tests every six months until this past February, when she was declared free of cancer. But Zinneman must continue to undergo scans annually. After her diagnosis

Lung Cancer Foundation of America. Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer — it claims more lives than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined, the foundation reports.
Lung cancer is generally asymptomatic and has no tests for early detection, resulting in most people being diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Lung cancer has the added stigma of being associated with tobacco use, a
lifestyle choice; however, it is estimated that 60 percent of diagnosed lung cancer patients will be nonsmokers or who have quit smoking decades ago. It has never been TURN TO CANCER ON A15
Two chefs put world travels, recipes into one cookbook When you speak with chefs Bernard Guillas and Ron Oliver, it’s difficult to determine which they most enjoy: creating their global menu for the Marine Room at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, or traveling the world to bring ideas to their kitchen. “The discovery of new culture, cuisine and customs are the ingredients that enrich my personal life,” explained Executive Chef Guillas, a native of Brittany, France. “Life is a path of discovery, from new ingredients to forging new friendships.” Oliver echoed those sentiments. “Traveling allows me to make new friends,” said Chef de Cuisine Oliver, who has garnered eight Best Restaurant in San Diego Awards for the Marine Room. “When I’m traveling is when I actually have the most free time, as opposed to being at home when I’m always so busy. So some of my closest friends are the ones I’ve made while traveling overseas and still keep in touch with.” The veteran chef-globetrotters have amassed an

Ingredients and directions for each part of the recipe appear in separate columns for easy reading, and the story of acquiring the recipe — a mini-travelogue — appears above. “We both like countries that are off the beaten path, rich in culture and history, and whose people show overwhelming hospitality,” Guillas said. “For me, (my favorite) is the Republic of Georgia, where in the central market of Tbilisi, I was transported to ancient times watching a butcher cutting beef on an oak stump with an axe.” Oliver’s favorite country is Turkey, “where my wife and I were picked up by a stranger we met through the Internet and taken to a restaurant that serves true Ottoman cuisine, including a dessert of candied eggplant and soft-shell walnuts. The stranger is now a lifelong friend.” The cookbook-travelogue contains recipes from 41 WORLDLY CHEFS ;6(4*%F()#')3%G",//'*%'#3%@-#%H/,+()%')(%I),5()* the -4%56(,)%#(I%&--JD--J%K</?,#$%.'#*L%MI-%;6(4*2%H#(%N-)/3EO%%M6(%&--JP countries, including

Carlsbad police, CHP host child seat safety awareness event The city of Carlsbad’s Police Department is partnering with the California Highway Patrol to host a child safety seat event Aug. 4. “This event is a way for the Police Department to partner with the California Highway Patrol and educate the community on how to properly install a child safety seat,” said city of Carlsbad Police Department Crime
Prevention Specialist Jodee Sasway. “The Carlsbad Police Department is committed to keeping children safe, and events like this help us do so.” Participants can register for their car safety seat inspection by calling the Carlsbad Police Department at (760) 931-2287. Advanced registrations are preferred but not necessary. Parents or caregivers are
asked to bring the vehicle and safety seat user manuals to the event. If possible, the child using the seat should be present to ensure a proper fit. Inspections can also be provided for expectant parents. Inspections take approximately 30 minutes. Following the kick-off event, child safety seat inspections will be conducted by the Police Department on the first
and third Thursday of each month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call (760) 931-2287 for an appointment. The Police Department started the program since more than 90 percent of all children are riding in an ill-fitted and potentially dangerous car seat. Spending just a few minutes at one of the safety inspections can greatly reduce
the risk. “Having your child’s safety seat inspected for proper installation can greatly reduce the safety risks,” Sasway said. The event will be held at the city of Carlsbad Safety Center, 2560 Orion Way, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit chp.ca.gov/community/safeseat.html for additional child safety seat information.
