Military veterans get sound healing while incarcerated
By Tony Cagala
VISTA — The invisible intonations of
the Tibetan sound bowls perforated the
drab environs of the veterans detention
unit. Yes, flags of each branch of service
hung from one of the walls to add some decor, and on other walls, patriotic paintings
added a sense of military brotherhood and
color to the unit.
Among the 30 or so inmates serving
their time in this particular unit, most
were taking in the sounds of the bowls —
the healing properties of those intonations
perhaps making their way into the invisible wounds of the men there.
Diáne Mandle, a certified Tibetan
Sound Bowl and Polarity Therapy healer,
stood at the front of the unit leading the
men in breathing exercises.
“Stay with breath,” she said calmly, as
they inhaled through the nose and exhaled
out the mouth.
Some of them rolled their eyes. Some
snickered a little at the prospect of taking
part in the meditation. But most of them
had never meditated or heard the sound
bowls before.
And then Mandle struck two metallic
cymbals together.
From there she called on them to conjure up a memory of being a fearless, delighted child.
For some, the tones helped to shed the
immediate sense of where they were with
the relaxation that was setting in.
The sound bowls, Mandle explained
afterwards, are tuned to the vibrational
frequency of “Ohm,” — the sound of creation, the sound of perfection.
“And our brain waves…entrain to that
vibration, which is why people get relaxed
so quickly,” she said.
Since last year, Mandle began hosting
two sessions every other Thursday at the
veterans unit.
She said she wasn’t surprised that
most of them took up the opportunity to
learn more about the meditation.

every other week to help the inmates learn meditation techniques and get them see themselves in better light. Photo by Tony Cagala
“A lot of them have deep forgiveness
issues that come from trauma of being
overseas, but also the trauma of coming
back and being on drugs, or doing some
theft, or domestic violence or whatever
they’ve done that got them into jail.
“Some of them have PTSD, some of
them don’t. But they are all very hungry
for this kind of education,” she said.
Of the 64 veterans that are currently
incarcerated now at the facility, the main
goal is for these guys to change the way
they think, change the way they live and
never come back to jail again, said Glendon Morales, correctional counselor for
the Sheriff’s Department and a retired
Marine, who spent 24 years in the Corps.
The charges that have brought the veterans to the facility range anywhere from
DUIs to domestic violence, to drugs, Morales said.
“Most of them are PTSD,” he said. “A
little more than half of them are combat
vets.”
“When they first come into jail they
always have an attitude, they’re thinking
survival,” said Morales.
Yet, for the year spanning Nov. 1, 2013
to November 2014, Morales said they’ve
only had four veterans return to jail. And
only one with a new charge, the others

Palomar College breaks ground on new facility
By Aaron Burgin
SAN MARCOS — A
month after Palomar College officials celebrated the
completion of a major piece
of its $644 million building
campaign, the same officials broke ground on the
next projected funded by
Proposition M.
Officials
celebrated
the ceremonial groundbreaking of the college’s
new Early Childhood Education Lab School, formerly known as the child
development center. The
three-building
facility,
slated for the north side of
the 200-acre campus, will
house 123 students and
staff when completed in
2017.
The 70,000 square-foot
facility will include three
buildings, housing seven
classrooms, offices and other rooms, five play yards
with slides, tunnels, bridges, climbing ramps and other areas.
The current center
serves 100 pupils from ages
18 months to kindergarten. School officials only
recently expanded the offerings to include a transitional kindergarten and
kindergarten program in
September, and there is already a waiting list for the
programs.
Almost all of the families served by the center received subsidized services,
with the amount of subsidy
based on income level.
College officials said
the groundbreaking marks
the beginning of the end of
the Prop. M building campaign.
The proposition, which
voters approved in 2006,
has already resulted in
several major milestones
on campus, including a
brand new health science
building, the renovation
of the school’s theater, a
brand new student center
and the humanities building, which was completed
during the fall.

10,000 people are waiting in line for a cup of coffee
--Found something good at Costco
You’ve heard about
the electrolyte-rich
benefits of coconut
water, and the dense
nutrients and
multiple health
benefits of coconut
oil. But what about
coconut coffee, tea,
and cocoa? Southern California’s CACafe makes
these delicious antioxidant-rich beverages with
premium coconut oil, coconut milk, Arabica coffee,
green tea, and cocoa.
Both health affirming and tasty, CACafe Coconut
Coffee & Tea can help with weight control, digestive
and heart health, and can improve the body’s immune
system. Coconut also scavenges free radicals that
prematurely age skin, regenerating and stimulating
collagen production.
Combined with the antioxidants in coffee, tea, and
cocoa themselves, with no artificial flavors or preservatives, CACafe beverages are designed to do more
than just taste great. According to Colorado’s
non-profit Coconut Research Center, coconut is low
alkaline, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as
potassium and manganese.
Cancer survivor Lisa Richmond attests “I began
drinking coconut tea in 2004...as a beauty aid. In
2006, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form
of breast cancer...(but) to everyone’s surprise, my
cancerous cells had not metastasized.” Richmond
credits CACafe coconut tea with “keeping me strong,
before, during, and after my cancer experience. I
remain cancer-free and CACafe coconut tea plays a
major role in my life.” In fact, A.P. John Cancer
Institute for Cancer Research has recommended the
addition of coconut oils to the diet to reduce free
radicals and cancer risk.
For weight loss, too, CACafe can’t be beat. User
Malia Owen lost 12.5 pounds in just three and a half
weeks. “I felt an incredible energy boost after the
coconut coffee, and also less hungry.” Owen says
she’s experienced less eating and snacking overall
since enjoying the beverage daily.
Coconut boosts metabolism and improves thyroid
function. Unlike many foods which contain primarily
long-chain fatty acids, coconut contains medium-chain fatty acids quickly burned up by the body,
leading to weight loss and significantly lower
incidence of heart disease and obesity.
Residents of
the Philippines,
India, and the
Pacific Islands
who consume
high amounts
of coconut
coffee and tea
in their diets
have far fewer cases of heart disease and obesity than
those in countries that don't.
So you know they’re healthy, but how do CACafe
products taste? The short answer is amazing. Sweet
and rich, it’s unnecessary to add creamer or milk.
Delightful, good for you, and tasty - something
everyone in the family can enjoy.
And CACafe not only does right by you - the
company donates resources from every product sold
to fight world hunger and support sustainable coconut
crop development worldwide.
Actor Dustin Hoffman once said “The two basic
items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and
coconut milk.” Maybe he was onto something.
Made with real coconut, premium coffee, cocoa, and
green tea, CACafe's patented products were created
to deliciously improve your body’s defenses, heart
and digestive health, as well as assisting with weight
control.
The coconut coffee is available at Costco San
Marcos (725 center drive, san marcos, CA 92069),
Costco Carlsbad (951 palomar airport rd, carlsbad,
CA 92009), and Costco Lake Elsinore (29315
central ave, lake elsinore, CA 92532). To find out

Coaster booze ban: the wrong approach
By Vince Vasquez
‘Disclose act’ still a must,
has a change in 2015
California Focus
By Thomas D. Elias
If there’s one main reason for the distrust many
Californians feel for government and elected officials at
all levels, it may be the way
special interests regularly
pour millions of dollars into
election campaigns while
managing to mask or obscure
their identities.
A major example last
year was Proposition 45, voted down by a 59-41 percent
margin even though it led by
about that same amount in
polls taken before the campaign began.
The measure aimed to
regulate health insurance
premiums just like car insurance and property coverage prices. It was done in by
a $55 million ad campaign
whose TV commercials
blared in large print that the
measure was opposed by the
California Medical Assn.,
the American Nurses Assn.
of California and the California Hospital Assn.” The end
of the ads also contained fine
print and sotto voce statements that they were paid for
by Kaiser Permanente, Blue
Shield, the parent company
of Anthem Blue Cross, and
HealthNet.
The result made it clear
almost no one got beyond
the large print, which was
enough to turn around about
1 million voters.
The question: What
if the insurance company
names had been in large
print, present throughout the
ad? Would voters then have
been more likely to disregard
the insurance lobby’s message?
No one knows, but consumer advocates and others who object to the U.S.
Supreme Court’s Citizens
United decision allowing unlimited corporate money into
politics think it might have.
Enter the “Disclose
Act,” a proposed California
law first advanced more than
four years ago by then-Assemblywoman Julia Brown-
ley of Ventura County, now a
Democratic congresswoman.
This would require all
political ads to show in large
letters their top three actual
funders, rather than other
groups that sometimes have
misleading names.
Each year since Brownley first sponsored it, the
Disclose Act has come a bit
closer to passage, losing only
narrowly last year.
It will be back again in
the new legislative session,
even though lawmakers took
time for the Legislature to
do something major about
the deception that commonly
accompanies huge donations
in California politics. Using
large print at the start of ads
to disclose their key funders,
rather than small print at the
end, would surely be more
effective in warning voters
about bias in commercials.
Similar rules would also benefit print, radio, Internet and
billboard ads.
That’s because the need
for transparency allowing
Each year since Brownley first
sponsored it, the Disclose Act
has come a bit closer to passage,
losing only narrowly last year.
a slight step in the right direction last spring, separately passing one small Disclose
Act portion.
That one now requires
disclosure of large donations
from nonprofits and other
so-called multi-purpose organizations and for the state
Fair Political Practices Commission to post on the Internet the names of the top 10
donors to any candidate or
initiative campaign.
This measure was a reaction to the influx of $15 million from Arizona-based conservative groups to fight the
2012 Proposition 30 and push
for an anti-union measure on
the same ballot. Prop. 30, a
tax measure, passed anyway
has been a lynchpin of Gov.
Jerry Brown’s efforts to balance the state budget.
But the top 10 lists are
not enough. For the most
part, their information was
already available to anyone
who cared enough to scroll
through the California secretary of state’s website and
do a little addition. Merely
putting the information online also doesn’t mean many
voters will see it. How many
will take the time and energy
to look?
All this makes it high
voters to peer through the
veil of anonymity many campaign donors try to hide behind is more pressing today
than ever, thanks to the huge
quantities of cash corporations can now employ with
little chance of garnering
bad publicity.
This makes the Disclose
Act the single most important piece of legislation of
2015, for nothing so sullies
politics as the way big money
is consistently deployed and
masked.
Other open government
bills will surely be on the
new session’s docket, but if
this one passes, California
voters could become the best
informed in the nation.
And it if happens here,
count on it being imitated
widely, just like other California laws from the Proposition 13 tax cuts to the
Proposition 15 loosening of
marijuana prohibitions.

The North County
Transit District (NCTD)
is scheduled to vote this
month on a proposal to
ban all alcoholic beverages
from Coaster trains.
A closer look reveals
that the ban is an excessive
and overreaching solution
for a narrowly-defined public safety problem.
This is not the first
time this issue has been
raised.
Last year, NCTD staff
and transit enforcement
officials cited excessive
alcohol consumption as
a problem, contributing
to train crowding, fights,
noise, littering, and underage drinking, particularly
during the baseball season.
In response, a total alcohol
ban on Coaster trains was
proposed, but was quickly tabled after the NCTD
received “robust public
feedback” on the issue,
including a U-T San Diego
editorial which denounced
the proposal as “overkill.”
The current proposal
would rescind NCTD’s alcohol policy, “Ordinance
No. 2,” which allows open
containers and alcohol consumption on trains until 9
p.m. In their recommendation for rescinding Ordinance No. 2, District staff
state that “NCTD’s most
compelling concern remains the attendant liability and risk to passengers
and crew associated with
the safety concerns created by consumption of alcohol on board COASTER.”
The proposal follows a
Board evaluation of the recent “Civility Rules” public awareness campaign on
Coaster trains, as well as
increased transit enforcement.
As a Coaster rider, I
understand the concerns
for public safety. Still, a
total alcohol ban is an extreme approach to addressing alcohol-related misconduct.
It ignores the fact that
most alcohol consumption
does not result in intoxication or misconduct.
It penalizes responsible adults who occasionally enjoy a beer or glass
of wine on board. Complaints about misconduct
aren’t likely to end with a
ban — NCTD data reveals
that alcohol-related incidents still occur on District
buses and light rail trains,
where alcohol bans are already in place.
Reasonable
alternatives can be effective in
preventing unwanted incidents. For example, Amtrak’s alcohol policy prohibits private stock alcohol
consumption while allowing beer and wine sales on
trains.
This approach allows
Amtrak to limit public alcohol consumption, pre-
vent underage drinking
(IDs are checked at the
time of sale) and stop public intoxication (it is illegal
to serve intoxicated individuals).
Trash and littering are
also curbed, as passengers
aren’t allowed to bring
their own beer or wine bottles on board for consumption.
The Coaster will always be an important transit option for many San
Diego residents, who in addition to commuting, want
to attend special events,
concerts, and nightlife responsibly.
It helps keep intoxicated drivers off the road,
protecting our public safety. Young, loud crowds will
undoubtedly still be taking
Coaster trains in the evening hours, regardless if
the ban passes.
The better approach is
to make on board alcohol
consumption manageable
under current transit enforcement staffing levels.
Adopting the Amtrak policy would ensure this.
Addressing
safety
concerns with a more measured approach can help
NCTD manage transit enforcement better, while
also protecting the personal freedoms of responsible
adults on board.

Letters to the Editor
Cost to vote
Last Monday notice
was given that the Del Mar
City Council would interrupt their August vacation
to hold a special meeting
on Wednesday to vote to
cancel the Del Mar Citizens’ right to vote in November for the election
of two councilmen for the
next term! And appoint
the two instead!
The reason being to
save the $7,000 to $9,000
cost to hold the election.
What a cheap price
for the citizens’ right to
vote! And, if 2,000 citizens
would have voted in November, the two appointed
councilmembers wouldn’t
know whether they had
the approval and support
of 2,000 Del Mar voters, or
50!
What other citizens’
rights will be ignored
during the next council
term?

Santas get into spirit for seniors
By Tony Cagala
SAN MARCOS — Holiday tunes and the sounds
of presents being wrapped
filled the walls of the San
Marcos Senior Center on
Tuesday.
Volunteers looked to be
having as good a time as the
amount of good the presents being wrapped will
bring to the seniors that receive them.
The room full of volunteers were taking part in a
community-wide gift-wrapping party for the annual
Be a Santa to a Senior program.
The program, which
happens throughout North
America, gathers gifts from
the public and businesses
and distributes them to seniors that are alone.
Paul Dziuban, franchise owner of the Home Instead Senior Care in Vista,
which allows seniors to age
in place, has been participating in the program for
the past nine years.
It’s for those lonely,
needy seniors, explained
Dziuban. By getting them
something, it helps to
brighten their holiday, he
added.
Since they started the
program, the communities,
Dziuban said, have embraced it.
Starting after Thanksgiving, the gifts started to
pour in at local Walmart

wrapped on Tuesday will be

meals and a minimum of
sweets.
Unfortunately, as I
dished up their fare, I generally had a mouth full
of fudge, which tended to
send them very confusing
signals.
Shortly thereafter, I
realized that I had spent
every pre- and post-Christmas of my life munching on
goodies and I still have all
my teeth. Hence, I threw
up my hands and surrendered to perhaps the greatest joy of the season. My
eyes may be wide with a
permanent sugar buzz but
I am armed and ready for
the cookie exchange. From
the first office party, to the
final plate of cookies delivered by generous friends, I
may be able to avoid going
near the stove completely.
Now that’s a holiday, baby.
Come on, now. Don’t
look so horrified. I believe
we need to take a closer
look at the nutritional content of our steady diet this
time of year.
The nightly shopping
runs may have to include
some fast food, since time
is sparse. From there, we
all know that leftover pizza for breakfast has produced a host of Phi Beta
Kappa’s, so you can’t go
wrong with that.
Somewhere in the day,
we may consume several
healthy, fiber-filled servings of nuts, surrounded
by chocolate maybe, but
nuts just the same. And
don’t forget we have gotten
at least an apple a day in
all the mulled cider we are
downing.
That cold cuts platter
was downright slimming
and I’m confident I got
plenty of greens in that
yummy zucchini bread.
Can anyone truly question that six or eight oatmeal cookies are as good
as a bowl of hot porridge?
If you slip in some raisins
or cranberries, you’ve got
those servings of fruit
completely taken care of.
Although our grazing has included enough
butter and sugar to seal
our veins completely shut,
there was protein-filled
hardboiled egg around
that cream cheese and
there had to be some in
the caviar that topped it
all. I also see a ton of vitamins in that shrimp cocktail sauce and that bowl of
salsa.
Wait. I believe I actually drank some milk with
several of my cookies. Now
that does a body good, eh?
And if you missed your calcium in that, just double
up on the egg nog.
We won’t be so silly as
to defend New Year’s Eve
champagne as a source of
nutrition, but throw a little orange juice in there
and, voila, a mimosa with
your daily dose of vitamin
C. Richard Simmons, eat
your heart out. No wait.
That’s us. Well, OK, Richard. Just get back to me
next week when I have to
doff my sweat pants and
try to buckle a belt again.
Right now I submit that
man cannot live by shortbread alone, but I’m willing to try.

Night-flying helicopters more
readily available to county
By Ellen Wright
R E G ION — O f f ic i a l s
from the City of San Diego have partnered with
the county to offer two
helicopters with night flying capabilities for use
throughout the county, including the 17 unincorporated areas.
The city’s Bell 212 and
Bell 412EP are the only
firefighting and rescue helicopters in the city that
can fly at night.
“The new city-county partnership to extend
night flights to all corners
of our region is great news
for residents and builds on
our efforts to bolster fire
protection,” San Diego
County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Dianne
Jacob said.
The agreement between the city and county
has been in effect since
Dec. 1 and is good through
June 30, 2016 with the op-
tion of a five-year extension.
The city will respond
to requests from the county and local agencies to
provide use of the night
flying helicopters, when
available. The county will
reimburse the city for use
and staff hours.
The Bell 212 costs
about $3,700 an hour to fly
and the Bell 412EP costs
cooperatively to improve
emergency response capabilities before disaster
strikes.”
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer agreed.
“When a wildfire
comes we have to be focused on results and saving lives, not jurisdictional boundaries drawn
on a map,” Faulconer said.
“That’s why the city and

about $5,000 an hour.
“Expanding access to
night-flying helicopters is
our newest tool to protect
residents and keep our region on the cutting edge
of public safety,” said
County Supervisor Ron
Roberts. “This agreement
worked out with Mayor
Faulconer is the latest example of how the county
and the city of San Diego
are working tirelessly and
county are embarking on
a new level of cooperation
to make sure our region is
as prepared as possible for
whatever comes our way.”
Since 2003, the county
has spent more than $317
million on improvements
towards fire fighting, including
developmental
training for staff, a regional emergency app and
technology improvements.

ego Fire Rescue Chief
of Air Operations Chris
Heiser, the same staff
will still be used on the
helicopters, which are
equipped with night vision goggles.
It takes almost as
long as regular training
to train a firefighter to
use the night helicopters,
Chief Heiser said.
The helicopters can
do all of the same rescue
and firefighting missions,
including aerial firefighting, reconnaissance missions and hoist operations,
according to Heiser.
“We have to do a complete duplication of all our
training in that night environment using the night
vision goggle system and
the coordination it takes
to effectively do those operations,” Heiser said.
He said that the
agreement doesn’t change
much, since the county
already had access to the
helicopters but it does provide a mechanism for reimbursement
“In one sense, it’s
nothing that we weren’t
already doing. This just
really provides the structure that allows for reimbursement and also helps
facilitate a rapid response
to the resource outside of
the city,” Heiser said.

T he C oast News - I nland E dition Rivers tells Chargers fans Chargers facing ‘biggest game’ of season
to don’t stop believing
sports
talk
By Tony Cagala
jay paris
When the lights go
down in the city on Saturday, will the Chargers
still be relevant?
San Diego’s journey
brings them to San Francisco this weekend, or
close to it.
The Chargers tangle
with the San Francisco
49ers of Santa Clara and
yes, not many long for
chilly Candlestick Park,
either.
But the question is if
Mike McCoy, the Chargers’ ol’ ball coach, can
light a fire under his fading team?
Two straight road
losses at Qualcomm Stadium — what, you didn’t notice the Patriots and Broncos fans planting their
flags? — has the Chargers
teetering on elimination.
What once was a 5-1
team, thanks to kicking
sand on the NFL’s weaklings, is now a squad not
certain about January.
What once was a slam
dunk spot in the Super
Bowl tournament is now
a postseason invitation
more tenuous that Carlos
Quentin’s knees.
Speaking of grumpy,
we bring you McCoy and
is there anyone lucky
enough to work in San Diego smiling less?
No, but that’s not really a big deal. What is
is the Chargers’ sprint to
the finish resembling an
old jalopy sputtering to
get into drive.
But McCoy’s got his
mitts on the wheel and
he all but raised his right
hand and swore his Bolts
aren’t toast.
“We’ll bounce back,’’
McCoy stressed. “I promise you, we’ll bounce
back. We’ve got good leaders on this football team.’’
The Charger faithful
would be more confident
if one of those leaders was
a running back.
San Diego is the land
of sunshine but it’s running game is stuck in the
muck.
Against the Broncos,
just 56 yards were collected on the down low. Congrats, men, that’s 3 more
yards than the previous
week.
Without a running attack, too much is falling
on an ailing Philip Rivers. The quarterback has
rib issues or is it his back?
Chest?
“The opposing defenses in the last two
weeks have been the two
biggest reasons,’’ Rivers
said of the Chargers’ offensive woes.
We second that as
New England and Denver
manhandled the Chargers. In each game the locals scored but one touchdown, and that won’t win
many NFL games
“I just think it’s a
two-game stretch against
the top two teams in the
conference,’’ Rivers said.
“We’re not in their company yet.’’
Can’t argue with Rivers that the Patriots and
Broncos are the big dogs
on the AFC porch. But actually the Chargers have
notched a touchdown just
once in four of their past
six games.
It only seems like the
end zone is strung with
barbed wire when the
Chargers (8-6) get close.
But Rivers is the ultimate optimist. Despite
a ground game that gets
ground up and spit out,
Rivers said it’s not too
late.
“You’re sitting here
with two weeks to go and
we’re right in it,’’ Rivers
said. “We’re as much in it
right now as we were last
year, probably in a better
position.’’
Sounds strange, but
No. 17 is correct.
The Chargers were 7-7
at this juncture in 2013
and still made the playoffs. But they did so by
winning four straight and
riding running back Ryan
Mathews with vengeance.
No one rushed for
more yards than Mathews
last December.
As the weather turned
nasty, the Chargers went
macho: stick the ball in
Mathews’ gut and get out
of the way.
Love that approach.
Love it when Mathews
gives the Chargers a physical presence. Love to see
Mathews play again and
when that happens, nobody knows.
Mathews missed Sunday’s game with an ankle
injury. The Chargers’ fingers are crossed he goes
in Silicon Valley to give
the offense some bite.
“We’ve got to do a better job as an entire football team to find a way to
win,’’ McCoy said. “We’re
in it together.’’
Not sure if he was referring to the adage that
misery loves company.
But the Chargers need to
return from the Bay Area
with more than a loaf of
sourdough bread and a cable car trinket.
They need to leave it
all in San Francisco, not
just their heart.
As the AFC’s No. 8
seed, they’re two spots
shy of the playoffs. After
two stinkers, the Chargers likely need to win out
and hope others don’t.
Otherwise, they’ll be
packing it for the offseason.
“Every game is a
must-win at this point,
and to us, the playoffs
start this week,’’ tight
end Antonio Gates said.
“We have to take care of
business come this Saturday and we’ll see how it
goes.’’

SAN DIEGO — One day after the
Chargers lost another pivotal game
that could have helped lead them
into the postseason, head coach Mike
McCoy summed up Sunday’s 22-10
loss to the Denver Broncos as having
“too many missed opportunities as a
football team.”
“When you play a team like the
Denver Broncos…you got to capitalize on every opportunity and every
possession. Every time you have the
football, it’s critical you do good
things with it,” he said.
But McCoy’s already talking
about moving on from the loss, which San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy

He was critical of the lack of pro- Photo by Tony Cagala
duction from the offense, but gave
credit to the Chargers’ defense, especially against third down plays and
halting the Broncos’ surging offense
in the red zone.
“That’s a good offense,” McCoy
said of the Broncos. “And a lot of talented players and a great quarterback, so that’s all part of the game.
But when you play red area defense
the way our defense has been playing
the past couple of weeks, we should
be winning these football games.”
Fourth year veteran defensive
tackle Corey Liuget expressed some
frustration over the lack of winning
games where the defense has put up
solid efforts.

Prestigious basketball tourney returns to TPHS
By Aaron Burgin
REGION — Every year
since 1990, throngs of basketball players, coaches,
scouts and avid hoops fans
have converged on Torrey
Pines High School for one
of the most prestigious
high school basketball
tournaments in the nation.
This year, the tournament’s 25th installment, is
no different, as the Under
Armour Holiday Classic
will again give San Diegans a chance to see some
of the nation’s best prep
basketball teams — and
potentially a future NCAA
or NBA star or two.
The tournament runs
Dec. 26 through Dec.
30, with no games being
played Dec. 28.
Over the years, tournament-goers have seen
NBA stars Klay Thompson,
DeMar DeRozan, Russell
Westbrook, Jrue Holiday,
Brandon Jennings, Michael Kidd-Gillchrist and
Brandon Jenning before
they became stars.
The five-division tournament is actually played
at multiple sites, with
Torrey Pines High School
playing host to the prestigious “National Division,”
reserved for the field’s 16
top-tier teams.
This year, the National
Division boasts four out-ofstate teams, nine non-San
Diego teams and three of
the top local teams.
La Costa Canyon will
host the second division,
dubbed the “American
Division”; Santa Fe Christian hosts the “Senators

ATTORNEY
Division”; Carlsbad High
School hosts the Governors Division and La Jolla Country Day hosts the
“Mayors Division.”
“The thing that stands
out to me is the high quality teams from different regions of the country,” said
John Olive, Torrey Pines’
head basketball coach and
tournament director. “The
Northeast is well represented with two outstanding teams, one of the top
teams in Texas is coming,
the Los Angeles area is
very well represented and
we have a very good team
from the Pacific Northwest.”
Headlining the National Division’s out-of-state
contingent is Prime Prep
of Texas, a charter school
founded by former NFL
star Deion Sanders, which
boasts one of the nation’s
top juniors, 6-foot-6 shooting guard Terrance Ferguson.
Ferguson is currently listed as the 8th best
prospect in the nation in
the 2016 class, according
to ESPN. Ferguson, who
has won two gold medals
playing for Team USA’s
U16 and U17 teams, has
received basketball scholarship offers from more
than two-dozen colleges,
including the University of
Arizona, the University of
Louisville and Kansas University.
Ferguson is not the
only talented player on
Prime Prep’s roster. Fellow
junior Mark Vital, a 6-foot5 forward, has already
committed to play basket-
ball at Baylor University.
Prime Prep’s addition
to the tournament field
was somewhat of a surprise due to the school’s
complicated and controversial status. The Texas
Education Agency voted
over the summer to revoke
the school’s public charter,
which would force it to shut
down. Prime Prep officials
have appealed that decision, which has allowed
the school to remain open
until it exhausts its appeal
options or the agency reTURN TO TOURNEY ON 8

good game defensively, and

one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now.
I wish the results were different, but it is what it is,”
he said.
Liuget credited defensive coordinator John

coaches with changing
the mindset of their unit,
including improving communications and the team
better understanding the
schemes in place.

McCoy was questioned
over the gap of talent between the elite teams as the
New England Patriots and
Broncos to where the Chargers are.
“I honestly believe
we can beat any team in
this league,” McCoy said.
“I think any team in this
league can beat any team.
It’s been proven in the history of the NFL. I think
when you play good football teams…you got to do,
against the really good
teams, you’ve got to make
the most of every possession in all phases,” he said.
It comes down to not
giving the other team extra
opportunities, he added.
“There’s a reason why
they’re at the top,” McCoy
said. “They’re good teams,
they’re well-coached; they
don’t make the critical mistakes at the critical times.”
Had the Chargers made
one or two plays that game
McCoy said they could’ve
won that game. “We didn’t
make them.”
Donald Butler was
placed on the injured reserve list with a dislocated
elbow, ending his season.
McCoy wouldn’t say that it
was caused directly by Peyton Manning’s block while
trying to score in the red
zone, but only that it happened during that play.
“I don’t think Peyton
caused it,” McCoy said.
And on Tuesday it was
announced that wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a broken collarbone
and injury to his ankle. The
team’s leading receiver isn’t
expected to play against the
San Francisco 49ers.
It’ll be a short turnaround for the Chargers
this week as they prepare
for the 49ers this Saturday.
“We’ve lost two tough
games,” McCoy said. “And
I think that with the leadership and the veterans on
our football team — I told
them after the game… ‘We
don’t have any time to worry. That’s over with. You got
to move on.’”
McCoy knows the importance of Saturday’s
game, calling it the “big-
gest game of the year.”
“We got to win this
one,” he said.
On another note, the
Chargers’ Special Counsel Mark Fabiana issued a
statement on Tuesday saying that the organization
would not exercise their
lease termination clause
with the city.
“The team will not be
exercising the lease termination clause and will keep
working to find a publicly
acceptable way to build a
Super-Bowl quality stadium
in San Diego,” the statement read.
The team has been eligible to terminate their
lease at Qualcomm Stadium
since 2007.

Boston University) and

Thomas Jefferson High of

another Division 1 signee
in the backcourt, Cal State
Fullerton-bound Kahlil Ahmad, one of the state’s most
improved players. Corona
Centennial’s frontcourt is
also loaded, with senior
stalwart Kyle Hamilton,
and underclassmen Jalen

two of the most coveted
players in their respective
grades.
The other California
teams are Fairfax, Westchester, Windward, defending champion Loyola, Santa

Dermacare puts focus on how our skin’s color changes
The aging face has three
basic changes: volume loss,
collagen loss and color changes. A lot has been made of
the use of fillers such as Juvederm, or fat to replace age-related volume loss.
We have previously
written about using topical
creams, chemical peels and lasers for the restoration of collagen loss, but this month I want
to focus on the color changes
that we see in the face and
what we can do about them.
Like collagen, the three basic
modalities for treatment are
topical creams, chemical peels
and laser.
What makes the three
color changes in the face particularly annoying is that most
of these changes are “spotty”
in nature. What we like to see
is smooth, even skin. White,
red and brown spots mess this
up. Before we consider the
benign color changes, a quick
word about cancer.
Melanoma is scary — any
spots that are changing or look
significantly different than
other spots need to be evaluated for malignancy.
Now let’s consider white
spots. There’s a common reason for white spots include,
vitaligo, hypomalanoisis and
scars. The only treatable cause

is a fungal infection called tinea versicolor.
Unfortunately, for most
of those unwanted white spots
there is no good treatment.
Sunscreen and make-up are
the mainstays of treatment.
Sunscreen won’t actually help
the white; it just reduces the
contrast between the patch
and the normal skin.
Red in the skin consists
of two basic problems-distinct
vessels and rosacea.
There are four stages of
rosacea, which can range from
“rosy” cheeks to severe acne
forms of rosacea.
Topical creams can
help for mild pinkness to the
cheeks, products containing
caffeine will temporarily reduce the redness and for more
severe forms of rosacea, topical and oral antibiotics are
sometime helpful.
Chemical peels and microdermabrasions generally
are not helpful.

HERE COMES SANTA CENT The Flower Fields in individuals to sit for the

tournament committee received 28 requests to play
in the 16-team national
field, which means that
12 other high-level teams
would be playing in the
lower divisions.
In other words, the talent runs deep: Each of the
American Division teams
has at least one Division 1
basketball prospect on its
team, headlined by Kendall Small, a point guard
from Lakewood Mayfair
High School, who is already signed to play at the
University of Oregon.
“Isn’t that amazing,
it’s absolutely amazing
when you think about it,”
Olive said. “What that does
is that it has a ripple effect
of everyone moving down
to a division and the talent
is at quite a high level.”
In the Senator’s Division, fans will get a chance
to see Mater Dei Catholic
sophomore guard Jaylen
Hands, who emerged onto
the national recruiting
scene during last season’s
tournament when his team
won the American Division
championship. Hands received his first scholarship
offer — from the University of Southern California
— that weekend. He now
boasts several offers, including the UCLA and Arizona.
The Governor’s Division has no fewer than
two high-level talents,
including Poway senior
sharpshooter Dalton Soffer, who is signed with Seton Hall University, and
Brandon Smith of Santa
Ana Godinez Fundamental
School, who is signed with
UC Irvine.
“It is amazing the number of outstanding players
Sun-induced changes such as
freckles, solor-lentigenes and
common moles make up the
majority of these spots.
The other problem is melasma. The first step in treating brown spots is prevention.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Hats and clothes also
prevent the formation and
progression of pigment-related
problems. It’s OK to enjoy our
beautiful San Diego weather,
but always protect yourself.
The next things to consider are topical agents. These
products, often referred to as
“bleaching agents,” don’t actual remove the pigment, but
they block the production of
new pigment. It will take two
to three months for the skin to
remove the pigment, so be patient for the results.
My favorite is hydroquinone. This product has been
used for over 20 years and has
been shown to be very safe in
humans (you may be out of
luck if you are a lab rat). Exfoliating procedures, such as microdermabrasions and peels
will also help with reduction
of dark pigment in the skin.
Finally, there are lasers that
I find to be the best treatment
for brown spots. IPL’s or “Photofacials” work very well for
most pigment.
Unfortunately, IPL cannot be used on African-American skin and we also need to
be careful with medium-dark
skin tones. Fraxel is the other
laser choice for dark spots, and
is the treatment of choice for
melasma. In addition to helping with pigment, Fraxel is a
great choice for collagen stimulation. If evening out your
complexion is a concern for
you, come talk with our staff
or schedule a consultation. We
can look at your skin and come
up with a plan that will help
you achieve your goals.

Olive said.
Olive said the most rewarding them for him over
the years is watching the
tournament grow into a nationally recognized event
that draws between 15,000
and 20,000 fans each year
and teams from across the
country vying for championship crowns.
“The local basketball
fans in the community
have embraced the tournament and have come out
and supported it,” Olive
said. “I think teams have
come out for a number of
reasons; our association
with Under Armour certainly helps, the wonderful
climte and allure that San
Diego has is a big to-do as
well.
“Plus, I think the tournament, now in its 25th
year, has earned a national reputation and people
know they will be treated
well and will play some
great ball while they are
out here.”

srael and Jordan are
probably not high on
most people's vacation list, but longtime Oceanside residents Frank and Janis Galef were drawn to the
countries by their histories
and prominence in current
affairs.
“We wanted to see Israel
as it is an amazingly historical
place with countless links to
the major religions and cultures that shape our lives today,” explained Frank Galef.
"It also figures heavily in the
news on a daily basis with a
lot of emotional overlay. We
wanted to get some idea as to
what is really going on there
by seeing it for ourselves.”
Their 12-day trip during
late April and early May was
not something they could've
done on a whim, Frank Galef
said.
“We wanted to do our
own itinerary, so it was up
to us to figure out how to get
around. We spent a lot of time
reading travel books and
viewing tourism websites.
The public transportation
systems there are good, but it
takes a lot of effort to figure

Competition fuels Marines’ appetites for cooking
By Cpl. Shaltiel Dominguez
CAMP PENDLETON
— Sgt. Hugo P. Zepeda and
Lance Cpl. Justin Gordon,
food service specialists
with Headquarters Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, took first place
during the Marine Corps
Installations - West Chef of
the Quarter Culinary Competition, Dec. 3.
The 31 Area Mess
Hall here hosted the competition with teams from
MCAS Yuma, Marine Corps
Recruit Depot San Diego,
Marine Corps Air Station
Miramar and Marine Headquarters Group, I Marine
Expeditionary Force, taking top honors.
Zepeda, who along with
Gordon shared the title of
Chef of the Quarter, were
awarded medals and priority seats for a two-month
course at the Culinary Insti-
tute of America.
“When I was growing
up, I did not know how to
cook and I only started to
take an interest when my
mom taught me,” said Zepeda, who enlisted as a food
service specialist. “I developed a passion for cooking
as a young adult and joining the Marine Corps has
allowed me to pursue that
passion.”
This is the second chef
of the quarter competition
that MCAS Yuma has won
in a row.
“Our secret lies in our
leadership,” said Zepeda.
“We have a lot of good staff
non-commissioned officers
who tell us exactly what to
do and to go by the book. As
long as we do that and work
hard, I think we will always
be successful.”
The competition began
with twelve teams that took

zes, testing their culinary The top four teams were
then assigned three proteins and fresh ingredients
to prepare a high-quality
menu to use for the cook-off
stage.
“This is the second time
I’ve participated in the chef
of the quarter competition
and the first time I’ve won,”
said Gordon. “I didn’t pass
the written quiz section last
time, but I dedicated myself
to learning from the past
and studied a lot more. It
definitely paid off.”
During the cook-off
stage, participants were
evaluated on kitchen conduct, personal appearance,
hygiene and utensil handling skills during the preparatory process. A group
of judges assessed the quality, presentation and nutritional content of each of the
team’s dishes.
In addition to the 1st,
2nd and 3rd place awards,
the teams were also presented with the People’s
Choice and Chef’s Choice
awards decided by the audience and food service specialists respectively.
“The most important
aspect of the competition
isn’t necessarily in winning
and receiving recognition,”
said Maj. Anthony P. Redman, food service officer
with Headquarters and
Support Battalion, Marine
Corps Base Camp Pendleton and master of ceremonies at the event. “The Marines competing all leave
with better culinary skills
and knowledge of industry
standards.
They take these skills
back to their units where
they’re able to serve higher quality food, and in
the end, it’s all about
serving the best food to
the Marines.”
Pendleton leaders work to minimize impact of MCCS budget cuts
By Jason Johnston
CAMP PENDLETON
— Fiscal Year 2015 will usher in a few changes around
the Corps, to include shifting missions from wartime
to more traditional training and special missions, to
reductions in end strength
and budgetary constraints,
including cuts to Marine
Corps Community Services
(MCCS) Marine and Family
Programs.
Announced in a recent
Marine Corps administrative message (MarAdmin)
505/14 Family Readiness,
Family Care, and Semper
Fit programs within MCCS
will all be impacted. To ensure the impacts don’t affect
mission readiness, programs
designated as “Core,” such
as Lifestyles, Insights, Net-
working, Knowledge and
Skills (LINKS), LifeSkills,
and Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP), will be protected through the reduction
of “Non-Core” programs.
While some impacts
were announced in the October MarAdmin, Camp Pendleton officials are working
to lessen the direct impact
of the proposed changes to
MCCS patrons. Rather than
immediately
implement
fees, or cut programs, officials will initiate program
changes over time, with
most beginning early 2015.
Additionally, MCCS officials
were able to absorb most
of the budget reductions
through staffing modifications, improving business
efficiencies, and stream-

Council closer to finalizing Pacific View deal
By Jared Whitlock
ENCINITAS — The council took
another step toward acquiring the Pacific View site on Wednesday night.
Council members voted 3-2 in
favor of a $50,000 deposit and other
conditions spelled out in a memorandum of understanding for the property. That document paves the way for a
final purchase agreement, which the
council majority hopes to approve by
the end of May.
But the agenda item sparked a
long debate over whether the council
should have even agreed to pay $10
million to acquire the site from the
Encinitas Union School District.
Resident Jeff Eddington said he’s
excited at the prospect of the city
owning the site, but worried the council is getting “bamboozled.”
“The city offered $4.3 million for
the property in the not-too-distant
past, and is now offering more than
2.3 times that price.” Eddington said.
Councilman Tony Kranz, an advocate of the purchase, said the $4.3
million figure was based on the property’s current public zoning. And it
was only intended as a first offer.
Additionally, Kranz said he voted in favor of upping the price knowing that EUSD had a strong rezoning
case, which would have made the land
much more valuable.
The city could have tried to fight
the district’s rezone request, but that
would likely have resulted in an expensive court battle, Kranz added.
Last month, EUSD was due to
auction Pacific View with a minimum
bid set at $9.5 million. With the clock
ticking, the city submitted an offer

CARLSBAD — With it’s primary storefront empty
for five years, the 33-year-old La Costa Towne Center at
the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue is at
last getting a revamp.
The owner of the property gained approval to demolish two commercial structures in the shopping center and replace them with buildings that are half retail
and half apartments from Carlsbad’s Planning Commission on April 16.
Planning Commissioners praised the owners for
coming forward with plans to redevelop the dated shopping center that they said currently lacks signage, design, and a main tenant.
“(La Costa Towne Center is) just this big long white
wall. You have no idea what’s inside, it’s not inviting,”
said Planning Commissioner Hap L’Heureux. “This center has been long overdue.”
Commissioner Aurthur Neil Black called the little
mall an eyesore.

OCEANSIDE — The
announcement that an UrbanLIFT grant will fund
building the Kay Parker
Family Resource Center at
the planned Mission Cove
affordable housing project
bought applause for two
reasons.
Community members
were glad to have a family
resource center as part of
the city’s low-income housing project, and equally
pleased the name of the
center will honor the late
Kay Parker, a beloved, fair
housing advocate.
Kay’s husband Dick
Parker helped accept the
grant at the City Council
meeting April 16. He said
the honor of naming the resource center after his late
wife was well deserved.
The Mission Cove
affordable housing and
mixed-use project on Mission Avenue is being developed through a partnership
between the city and National Community Renaissance nonprofit developer.
The project will break
ground this summer. GradTURN TO CENTER ON A17
lining, before considering
reductions in programs and
services.
“We began by carefully
reviewing budgetary cuts in
support functions and offsetting costs with non-appropriated funds, which MCCS was
able to absorb the majority
of the planned budget reductions,” said Lee Farmer,
assistant chief of staff for
MCCS. “Additionally, by
increasing the efficiencies
in programs and services,
we absorbed a portion of the
reductions in the individual programs affected which
decreases the budgetary impact to our patrons.”
To ensure that required
reductions in programs
and services are in compliance with Headquarters
Marine Corps guidance
and balanced for all MCCS
patrons across the installation, Marine Corps Installations-West
(MCI-West)
officials collaborated with I
Marine Expeditionary Force
and other tenant commands
to develop reasonable program changes.
“Our intent was to talk
with all interested parties,
to ensure a common understanding of the program
changes and reduction we
will begin implementing
next year,” said Brig. Gen.
Edward Banta, Commanding General MCI-West - Ma-
rine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. “These were some
hard decisions and difficult
choices, but we developed
these necessary changes
with a clear vision toward
minimizing the impact on
our Marines, Sailors, and
their families.”

While Mandle said she

sions have helped him to
develop better visualization.
“The visualization of
the outside world,” he said,
“which takes me away from
here and helps me to forget
the everyday stresses of one:
being incarcerated and being homesick, missing the
family.”
He practiced silent
meditation in the past, and
said that once he’s back out,
he plans to continue the
sound meditation practices
he’s learned while here.
“I love the sound of
meditation. I was a sonar
tech, so I’m actually very
acclimated to how sound
works…and I’m aware of
certain types of frequencies
that affect certain types of
moods and put together in a
correct way…it helps me visualize better.”
During the sessions,
Mandle asks the veterans
to visualize themselves on a
high mountain lake.
“When she said to visualize a lake and mountains, I
could see myself on a lake in
a kayak with my kids and it
felt good,” he said.
Ronald Hyde served as
a surgical technician in the
Air Force. He had only just
arrived at the Vista Detention Facility, but he said he’s
participated in sound bowl
healing and meditation before in other facilities, including the VA.
It helps with the anxieties, Hyde, 54, said.
“It really helps. It really helps when you have
that anxiety or that PTSD.
Part of PTSD affects your
sleep,” he said. “You’re up
and down all night with bad
dreams.”
His experiences with
other sound healing programs and yoga, he said,
have helped him with that.
When he hears the
sounds of the bowls, he explained it as being: “Kind
of between San Francisco,
with the fog horns and all
the sounds of the seagulls,
and Tibet with the gongs.”
Tibetan people are very
spiritual, Hyde said. “They
think that everything has
a reason to be here. And it
does. Everything has a right
to live…but I’m from the
‘60s. I believe in peace, love
and happiness,” he said.

But when that time
comes, Bethlehem, the Sea
of Galilee and a return visit
to Haifa are on their list.
“We’d love to go back
and experience more of
these incredible places, but
unless things cool off a lot, I
don't feel that I can recommend a visit to anyone unless they are well aware of
what they might be getting
into.”
For those who’d like to
place Israel and Jordan on
their wish lists, here are
some helpful points, according to Frank and Janis
Galef:
Most people in Israel
and Jordan are friendly and
helpful, and Americans are
generally treated well.
English is spoken in
most restaurants, hotels,
buses and tourist attrac-
tions.
Street signs are in Hebrew, Arabic and English,
as are announcements on
public transportation.
Look for banks that exchange adequate amounts
of money so that several return trips aren’t necessary.
Be prepared for extreme weather — hot and
cold.
The food is excellent.

whole. They say this is especially helpful if you have
a sensitive digestive system
or illness that inhibits your
body from processing fiber.
The fiber in produce
helps slow down the digestive process and provides
a steady release of nutrients into the blood stream.
They also want you to buy
their expensive, messy and
wasteful juicers, I’m not
buying it. OK, maybe if you
really do have such a sensitive digestive system that
you can’t eat fruits and vegetables in your daily life,
then yes, juicing is an option for you. I myself want
that fiber in my diet.
On the other side of
the ring is the blended or
smoothie camp. Unlike juices, smoothies consist of the
entire fruit or vegetable,
skin and all, and contain all
of the fiber from the vegetables.
That said, they say the
blending process breaks the
fiber apart (which makes
the fruit and vegetables easier to digest) but also helps
create a slow, even release
of nutrients into the blood
stream and avoids blood
sugar spikes. Smoothies
tend to be more filling, because of the fiber, and are
generally faster to make,
less wasteful and easier
to clean up than juice, so
they can be great to drink
first thing in the morning
as your breakfast, or for
snacks throughout the day.
By including the fiber
in your smoothie, the volume will increase and you
can pack more servings of
fruits and veggies into a
single serving of juice than
you can into a smoothie.
Just seems logical to me but
hey, if people want to juice
for whatever reason I’m fine
with that, just seems like
they are making it a much
more complex and expensive process than it needs
to be.
So, I’ll wrap this up
with my super-deluxe morning smoothie that consists
of equal parts Morning Star
Green Drink and basically
whatever fruits and veggies
I have in the fridge or in
the garden. I’ve even taken
to adding the greens from
my winter crop of broccoli
or cauliflower as they are
packed full of nutrients plus
a bit of my own flax seed
meal. It helps to stretch the
Green Drink through the
week and I get the added
bonus of even more vitamins and fiber.

are those in the juicing
camp who feel very strongly
about their position on juicing over blending.
This is what the juicing
folks have to say about their
preferred method. They describe juicing as a process
that extracts water and nutrients from produce and
discards the indigestible
fiber.
Without all the fiber, your digestive system
doesn’t have to work as hard
to break down the food and
absorb the nutrients and it
makes the nutrients more
readily available to the
body in much larger quantities than if you were to eat

These woods are lovely, vibrant and musical
By Noah S. Lee
Fans of Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway work will
probably have a far deeper connection to “Into the
Woods” than I ever will; as
a newcomer, however, what
we have here is a vibrant
fantasy musical and a solid
means of bringing 2014 to a
close.
Somehow the age-old
coupling of fantasy and music almost never ceases to
impress me.
That’s what happens
when fairy tales and songs
form a significant component of your childhood.
Or perhaps it’s because
these two elements really complement each other,
magnifying the former’s
voice and beautifying the
latter’s structure. Whatever the reason may be,
mixing the lyrical with the
fantastical has won audiences (as well as me) over
time and again.
The undeniable appeal
of this effective combo can
be seen once more through
“Into the Woods,” adapted
from James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway
musical of the same name.
“Into the Woods” revolves around a baker
(James Corden) and his wife
(Emily Blunt) who, after discovering a vengeful witch
(Meryl Streep) has cast a
spell of childlessness on
them, set out on a quest to
start a family.
In order to achieve this
goal, they must collect several objects from the nearby
forest to break the curse.
Along the way, they
encounter other prominent
fairy tale characters such as
Cinderella (Anna Kendrick),
Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), and Jack (Daniel Huttlestone), whose destinies are intertwined with The Baker (James Corden), left, and his Wife (Emily Blunt) meet Jack (Daniel Huttlestone) and his cow, Milky
their own.

Although director Rob
Marshall has a lot on his than-life setting with a won- each key player when it’s

With respect to the (or should I say, sing) their

Speaking of key playeach character’s journey Woods” features no shortage

With the storylines ar- the woods where most of the articulating the various
emotions they go through

As much as I’ll admit as the consequences of their

never bores; it’s fascinating the delivery of each musical intentions and interactions
to see how the characters’ number does sound almost during their individual jourwishes and actions result unnaturally pitch perfect, neys begin to affect them.

in consequences that affect I feel this doesn’t diminish
them, imbuing the larger- the expressive qualities of have great chemistry as
the Baker and his Wife, respectively, and Kendrick is
satisfactory in her role of
Cinderella. But it is Streep’s
scene-stealing performance
as the blue-haired Witch
that guarantees “Into the
Woods” will be a swell
choice for families curious
about what’s worth the price
of admission during the winter holidays.
Because I have never
seen “Into the Woods” on
the stage before, I cannot
comment on how different
or similar this film is to its
source material.
What I will say, however, is that I was not the least
bit displeased with what
Rob Marshall accomplished
here, which turned out to be
an enjoyable experience and
had a number of interesting
surprises I didn’t see coming.
And for that, both the
director and cast (Streep in
particular) have my thanks
for a job well done.

San Diego ranked third largest biotech and life sciences hub
By Ellen Wright
REGION — Biotech
and Biomedical industry
leaders met on Dec. 4 to
talk about innovation and
challenges the healthcare
system faces in North
County at the Annual Innovation to Market Business Luncheon hosted by
the San Diego North Economic Development Council.
Panelists
discussed
San Diego as a “secret”
biotech hub.
“San Diego is nationally ranked only third behind Boston and San Francisco,” Damian McKinney,
board member for the eco-
nomic development council, said.
He went on to say how
the industry is a huge economic driver for the region.
“Current studies show
that every one job in the
life science/biotech industry, generates two to five
other supporting jobs in
this region,” McKinney
said.
Panelists included experts from a wide range
of the healthcare field.
They talked about growing
trends and challenges the
industry faces.
One trend everyone
could agree on was the
emergence of technology.
“We’ve got Qualcomm,
when you think about wire-
less stuff and think about
moving information, not
people,” Dr. Joseph Smith,
chief medical officer at
West Health Institute said.
“It’s crazy that we have a
healthcare system that requires the sickest to find
their way to their doctors.
Why don’t we do what we
can to take care of them,
where they are?”
Ellen Morgan, CEO of
Agility Clinical, deals with
patients with rare diseases
and talked about the difficulties of having patients
geographically spread out.
“We look for ways to
cut down the number of
times (patients) have to
go to the doctor’s office, so
things such as implantable
sensors will help to collect
data about the patient,
maybe blood levels and
different types of things,
so that data can be sent
back automatically to their
physician,” Morgan said.
Dr. Jeffrey Benabio,
physician
director
of
healthcare transformation
at Kaiser Permanente,
talked about some of the
problems with information
overload.
“Ray Kurzweil talks
about singularity, the
point when the pace of our
innovation exceeds the
bandwidth of the practitioner and I think we’re
beginning to choke on that
success. I think we’re going to have to get better at
information technology,”
Benabio said.
“As we all move forward, we have to manage
the fruits of our innova-
tion that is perhaps different than we have in the
past,” Benabio said.
Dr. Carlos Nunez, chief
medical officer at CareFusion and panel moderator
said he had issues with the
healthcare system.
“I’m a firm believer that we don’t have a
healthcare system in this
country, we have a disease
intervention system,” said
Nunez.
He went on to ask the
panelists what the region
could do to provide better
service.
Benabio thought there
could be more medical
schools and more courses
in informatics, to address
the lack of physicians in
the area.
Morgan felt the region
was lacking statisticians.
James
Kasselmann,
senior plant director of biologics at Gilead Sciences,
Inc., said that the region is
doing lots towards including people from all education ranges in the biotech
field.
“If you don’t like
transformation, you’ll like
(obsoleteness) even less,”
Kasselman said. “But my
point is, no one in North
County should be intimidated by the field.”
The panelists gave reasons for locating in North
County, including inexpensive office space, compared to the south, and the
innovative environment.
“Coming from the
East coast, I would have
to describe this region as
largely judgment free. It’s
one where collaboration
is one step above competition.
“You’ll think more
about succeeding together than you’ll think about
winning at someone else’s
expense,” Smith said.
Nunez, of CareFusion
talked about how close San
Diego is to becoming the
number one biotech hub.
“There is no reason
why this area of the country cannot be known as a
Silicon Valley type area
for biotech and life sciences.
“We are number three
and not far behind one
and two. It’s probably the
best kept secret about San
Diego County and North
County in particular,”
Nunez said.
