The Beauty Behind the BeastBy Tracy Rolling ~ the journal

Contrary to a Disney fairytale, there is little beauty in a beast called consumer waste. While the world

works to reduce its ecological footprint, one local teacher is raising awareness through art.

olive Peirce middle School teacher Catherin Chiu Phillips, better known as “Cat,” is creating and installing intricate sculptures made from recycled materials.

“I want to raise awareness about consumer responsibility, recycling and overconsumption,” she said, telling how this summer she will apply her creativity to exhibit her renderings across the nation.

Following a pre-existing formula, she uses plarn — a product manufactured from plastic bags. Bags are cut horizon-tally then tied in a specific pattern and formed into a ball. Similar to a skein of yarn, the plarn is sewn or crocheted into various shapes and sizes. With a web-like finish, the design is considered organic or abstract.

“as consumers, our attention span is really fast. When you first look at the piece, you miss the details. But that’s where the beauty is,” she said, admit-ting her initial focus was on consumers obsessed with brand names.

“Growing up in the Philippines, I remember receiving boxes from family in america. They were filled with Hershey bars and other brand-name

products. It made me think about my own consumer responsibly and eventually encourage others to do the same.”

about a year and a half ago, she repurposed her efforts to focus on the bigger picture.

“I wanted to find new ways to talk about ecology and recycling. Plastic bags open a whole new dialog.”

as soon as school is out, she will take up residency at the Lower East Side Ecology Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. There, she will make a masterpiece that coin-cides with the organization’s mission to be a community-based resource for a

number of recycling programs. In July, she will work with the

Riverside art museum to create a pergola made of suspended plastic bags. mimicking the style of the mission era, she envisions vine-like plants enveloping the plastic arbor.

In august, she will concentrate on a large Los angeles project and work on new proposals.

“I tell my students how reading and writing are important in every profes-sion. art isn’t just one track — you have to use history and current events in order to form ideas.”

She subtly inspires them and is seeing the impact.

one student recently asked to inter-view her for a written assignment on a celebrity, and others are volunteering to make plarn after school.

modestly, she says she has installed about a dozen projects and has many more in the works.

“People are always surprised when they learn the art is made out of plastic bags. It really gets them thinking.”

Crediting public art institutions for being incredibly supportive, she said, “I’ve been very fortunate to have so many people believe in me.”

applauding her husband, marine veteran John Phillips, and their four-year old daughter, Hazel, she thanks friends and family for donating plastic bags, attending workshops and shopping

Phillips with her husband, John, and their daughter, Hazel, in Vista, at the orner of Vista Village Drive and Main Street, where her sculpture of kites was recently installed.

with reusable bags. according to the United States

Environmental Protection agency (EPa), only 9 percent of 32 million tons of plastic generated each year is actually recycled.

on average, she uses more than 1,000 bags per project, along with other materials such as plastic bottles and caps.

“I’ve never really kept track.” In addition to her summer art installa-

tions, her work will be on display at the San Diego art Institute in a show titled “What Remains: Debris and Detritus in Fine art.” The exhibit in Balboa Park runs through July 12.

other completed projects can be found at the San Diego International airport, in Terminal 2 near the security checkpoint; Westfield mall at Horton Plaza; and in Vista, where she was

commissioned by the city to create and install a kite sculpture.

“I contracted the Ramona High School welding class,” she said, describing how welding teacher Robert Grace, along with current and former students, helped modify and fuse a six-foot sculpture onto a 10-foot pole.

“They put me in a totally different level!”

She knows the real beauty in this story will come when the beast is depleted and there are no materials left to use.

Until then, she said, “There is too much wastefulness in our world. Now that we’ve come to this point, all we can do is educate people.

“If I can create something beautiful from the over-overconsumption, maybe it will motivate people to change.” n

Walking Off the WarBy Jay Anderson

Six combat veterans are participating in the “Walking off the War” Warrior Hike program by hiking the 2,650

miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from mexico to Canada.

Currently on the trail are Stephen Thomas, a marine Corps combat engi-neer officer from Encinitas; anthony Jaramillo, an army combat engineer from Hesperia; anne Dios, an army intelligence analyst from Sunland, Calif.; Sharon Smith, an air Force medical service specialist from Banner Elk, N.C.; Eric Sorensen, an army armor crewman from Lacey, Wash.; and Joshua Staggs, an army infantryman from Dupont, Wash.

The american Long Distance Hiking association West identifies the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) as one of the “triple crowns” of long-distance hiking, along with the appalachian Trail and Continental Divide. as one website, theclymb.com, describes it: “Stretching from Southern California to Northern Washington, this trail has you touching both ends of the country. With over 2,700 miles

of Western frontier to explore, the PCT crosses through 25 national for-ests and seven national parks. From the High Sierras in Central California, to the Cascades cruising throughout Washington, this trail provides enough mountain awe to coast on for the rest of your life.”

For the six vets, their journey on the Warrior Hike is very purposeful — a purpose identified by Sean Gobin, the marine who started the program.

Gobin was a marine enlisted infantry-man and armor officer who did three combat tours in Iraq and afghanistan. after leaving active duty, he decided to walk the appalachian Trail with a

Veterans Joshua Staggs, eric Sorensen, Anne Dios, Anthony Jaramillo, Sharon Smith and Stephen thomas take a break from the trail at American legion Post 853 in Borrego Springs.

PHoto CourteSy of AMerICAn leGIon PoSt 853


fellow marine as a fundraiser to purchase adaptive vehicles for the severely wounded, such as one of his marines who had lost both legs during the war. Within days, Gobin discovered that the hike was positively impacting his transition back to civilian life.

Explaining that he “went from the battlefield to home” in 72 hours, and that the transition program he experienced upon leaving active duty was little more than a PowerPoint slide, the unexpected importance of the long-distance hike on the process of transitioning was something he wanted to share with other vets.

after completing the hike, he learned about a warrior from an earlier time who had

a similar experience. “In 1948, Earl Shaffer told a

friend he was going to ‘walk off the war’ to work out the sights, sounds, and losses of World War II,” the Warrior Hike website states. “Four months later, Earl Shaffer became the first per-son to hike the entire length of the appalachian Trail from Georgia to maine. Following in Earl Shaffer’s footsteps and in recognizing the therapeutic effects of long-distance hiking, Warrior Hike has created the ‘Walk off The War’ program, which is designed to support combat veterans transitioning from their military service by thru-hiking america’s National Scenic Trails.”

Gobin started the Warrior Hike to provide other veterans

the same experience, which he calls a “reverse boot camp.”

“Just as boot camp was a rigorous, arduous journey to prepare you for war,” he says, the Warrior Hike is a “rigorous, arduous journey to help transi-tion” back into civilian life. The hike is a “grueling endeavor” that puts the participants “through the mental, emotional, and physical grinder.” They go through self-healing, dealing with their personal demons and memories.

He says that for those who saw the worst of combat and came away with a “bitter perspective of humanity,” inter-acting with people and commu-nities along the way provides an opportunity to learn to appreciate the best their fellow

citizens have to offer. The overall experience is

truly impactful and important.It is so impactful that Sharon

Smith is doing it again, after hiking the application Trail as part of the 2014 program. It is so important that anthony Jaramillo lost nearly 40 pounds preparing for it. Veterans of Desert Storm and the wars in Iraq and afghanistan, they came together to undertake six to eight hours of hiking each day for more than 2,700 miles over several months.

There are a few moments of relief along the way.

The Borrego Springs american Legion Post 853 provided one such respite in late april, when members opened their homes to provide

meals, showers and a night’s rest on a bed instead of the ground.

on the veteran-to-veteran level, Gary Saunders of Post 853 says, “It was like we’d known each other forever.” He described the younger vets as “dedicated, wonderful people,” committed to this unusual mission.

It is not at all surprising that an older generation of veterans is standing up to provide support to the younger generation.

many of the older vets dealt with their own demons and memories decades earlier. many younger vets are doing so today, undertaking a grueling — yet rewarding — adventure. n

Steve Lamb Owner

By Alyssa Gaona

as all seniors did, I dreamed of one school to be accepted to: the University of Hawai’i (UH). Sure,

I applied to my safe schools. But I had really only one school in mind.

Fortunately, I was accepted to the five colleges I applied to. I was not interest-ed in any of the schools I was accepted to as soon as I found out I was accepted to the UH in manoa!

I wanted to turn in my intent-to-enroll paper right away. although my mother advised me to be patient and to check out the school, I was still ready to send in my enrollment.

my mom’s advice was sage. I needed to be sure, I needed to do more research and I needed to visit the school.

on april 15, I set out with my mom for our trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for five days to really get a sense of where I would be living for the next four years.

Halfway through our trip, we visited my school. I was already set on this col-lege, and I knew it was where I wanted to be. But my mom told me to make sure I saw everything. That was the best advice she could have ever given me.

That day, I did see everything. I did not just walk and listen to our nice tour guide, but I saw the campus, I saw how the students acted and I liked what I saw. I was already decided on this school, but I still had doubts if I could live that far from California, a five-hour flight away. after I saw the campus and all the activities that were available to

me on the island and at the school, I was sure. I accepted UH’s offer.

I believe I’m lucky that the school just clicked with me. But my advice to all seniors in high school is to visit the school you are thinking of attend-ing. Don’t go for a day; rather, go for a couple of days to really get a feel for not only the campus, but also for life around the campus.

I know visiting your first-choice school sounds like a no-brainer, but also plan to visit the schools that you get accepted to but aren’t seriously considering attending.

You will be spending four years with people you don’t know as well as your family, and you want to make sure you will be comfortable there. n

I have bought and sold many homes throughout my life and have never experienced such a professional, objective and successful selling experience. Deb was very straightforward and honest in providing us guidance on what we needed to do to present our home in the best light. She was also very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. She also took the time to share with us in reviewing other properties in our neighborhood in the same price range, thereby allowing us to price the house accordingly . . . in the sweet spot. Bottom line, the house sold in one week. We are very pleased. We would absolutely do business with Deb Espinoza again and we highly recommend her to all of our friends.

Party last month in honor of mother’s Day. The event was hosted by a local tea specialist, and included three courses and hot teas, and sparkling apple cider for the children.

mothers attending had a chance to make a memory with their daughters in an on-site photo booth. Participants dressed up in fancy hats and gloves, and some even wore the British-style “fascinators” on their heads for the special occasion.

“I enjoyed the special mom-my-and-me time that I was able to have over a sophisticated yet fun afternoon tea,” said Renee Willat, a mother who attended the afternoon high tea.

The event was held in the Ramona Lutheran Church chapel, which was elaborately decorated with bright linens, white lace and fragrant flow-ers throughout. Tables were set with fine English bone china teacups and teapots, and silver teaspoons were lined up on tiered pastry trays.

“my favorite part was drink-ing tea and learning that your pinkies actually don’t go up, but down under the cup while drinking,” said Remingtyn Bryant, a child who attended the tea party.

a special array of desserts was presented, including British-inspired savories and handmade shortbread, lemon tartlets and chocolate-covered strawberries.

The afternoon included a special etiquette lesson by

Christie alvarado, who has held the titles of miss California Teen all american and miss orange County USa. alvarado founded a Christian etiquette program, Princess By Design, to instruct

girls in manners, charm and character development.

The afternoon was conclud-ed with a presentation of flowers for each mother, and all in attendance were given a small gift of tea and treats. n

the event featured tables set with bone china teacups and teapots, and was catered by Julian tea and Cottage Arts.

former Miss California teen All American Christie Alvarado gave a lesson on etiquette and social graces.

Ramona Junior FairInforming New Auction Buyers

By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

marketing can be a key to success in any venture.

It’s also true for Ramona Junior Fair, the major local animal show for Future Farmers of america, Grange Club and 4-H participants, which will cele-brate its 44th production July 25 to aug. 2 at the Ramona outdoor Community Center, 421 aqua Ln.

“We have updated our website this year with information on the processing of the animals and how much it takes to raise an animal for the fair,” said Jeff Becker, auction marketer.

Informing potential buyers is one way to help the kids while also giving bid-ders the opportunity to purchase quality meat for their families.

meanwhile, kids throughout San

Diego’s backcountry are prepping their animals for entry.

The determination of this activity will be aug. 1, when more than 200 blue- and red-ribbon animals will hear the staccato voices of the auctioneers.

“The auction will be the culmination of the kids’ hard work to make some money they can put into their college funds,” said Robby Storton, president of the Ramona Junior Fair Board of Directors. “The auction made $183,272 last year. This was good, con-sidering we had a down-pouring of rain right after the swine part of the auction.”

The fair board also relies heavily on input from steering committees.

“Even though food prices are up and animal availability is down this year, we feel we’ll still have the same amount of

entries,” Storton predicted.Featured competition for the top rib-

bons will be those entering cattle, swine, lamb and goats, however, it doesn’t stop there. a smaller animal fair will include chickens, rabbits and dogs. They have even had alpacas and llamas in recent years.

Curtis martineau, who is board vice president and livestock upervisor, antici-pates about 300 animals by the time reg-istrations are completed.

“We’re trying to get more buyers through our website, where we give an

estimated cost per pound,” martineau said.

“average prices per pound last year were swine, $4.24; goat, $4.44; sheep, $4; veal, $3.25; and beef, $3.29.”

Entries are expected from Ramona, Poway, Julian, Warner Springs and Valley Center.

Junior Fair Pie Auctionanother auction, this time with pies,

is slated for July 14. Storton said it is a major fundraiser

for the Junior Fair’s operation, which is supported solely by volunteers. n

Financial Focus

Submitted by Patrick Meskell

Financial Tips for College Students

If you’re a college student, you may already be back on campus. If not, you don’t have

long to go before school starts again. and this year, in addition to whatever courses you may be taking, try to master some financial lessons, as well.

of course, many students already have at least one foot in the “real world,” because, in addition to taking classes, they’re working many hours a week to help pay for school, rent and living expenses. But even if you’re a full-time student, living on campus and paying for school through a combination of grants, loans,

savings and help from your parents, you can learn some financial basics that can help you throughout your adult life.

Specifically, consider these suggestions:

• Don’t overuse credit cards. Credit card marketers aggres-sively target college students, so you’ll need to be vigilant about all the offers that will bombard you. While it might not be a bad idea to carry a single credit card for use in emergencies, it’s very easy to over-use the “plastic” and rack up big debts. You’ll need to discipline yourself to save for the things you want, rather than charging them.

• Shop around for financial services. You’ll find plenty of banks willing to give you a T-shirt or a frying pan for open-ing an account with them. But these places may not be offering you the best deal on checking or savings accounts or loans. It pays to shop around.

• Keep track of your student loans. make sure you under-stand all the terms of your student loans: how much you’re expected to pay each month, when payments are due, what interest rate you’re paying, what credits may be available for on-time repayment, etc. You might be able to achieve a more favorable repayment schedule by consolidating two or more loans. once you start repaying your loans, do whatever you

can to stay on track with your payments.

• Never stop looking for financial aid. The aid package you may have received as an incoming freshman doesn’t have to be the final word on financial assistance. Colleges offer some scholarships based on college-level academic achievement or real-world expe-rience — both of which you may have accumulated since your freshman year. Study your college’s scholarships and be aggressive in going after them.

• Estimate your future income. You may not know exactly what you want to do when you graduate, but if you have a career path in mind, try to learn what sort of salary you

can expect during your first few years out of college. once you have a realistic idea of how much you’re going to earn, you may have the motivation you need to avoid bad financial practices, such as accumulating big debts.

College should be a learning experience — in many ways. and if some of the knowledge you obtain during your college years can help you develop sound financial habits, so much the better. n

California State assemblyman Brian Jones welcomes applica-tions for his student intern-ship program. Internships in his Santee office are tailored toward current high school or college students, but applica-tions are accepted from all who are interested.

Jones says the program pro-vides an excellent opportunity to learn the legislative process, interact with constituents, build coalitions, organize events and see firsthand what it’s like to be an elected official.

Interns help the office run efficiently, performing tasks such as speaking with con-stituents, responding to mail, researching legislation and issues, attending meetings and more.

He says it is a good way for individuals to determine if a career in government might

be a good fit. Former interns have gone on to have successful careers in government, politics, law, business and other industries.

Prospective interns should be honest, dependable and

congenial, and have integrity, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to meet commit-ments. applications are available at www.assemblygop.com/jones, or call Gail Ramer at 619-441-2322. n

Twelve of Dan Gurney’s strong-running IndyCar Eagles of the 1960s and

‘70s will be exhibited through November at Indianapolis mo-tor Speedway’s Hall of Fame museum.

Five Gurney Eagles appeared for the first time in the 1966 Indy 500. The best finish was ninth.

In 1967, an Eagle graced the front row, and the first victory was posted in 1968, driven by Bobby Unser. additional victo-ries in the 500 followed in 1973 (Gordon Johncock) and 1975 (Unser again).

In 1973, 20 of the 33 starters

were in Eagles — 19 the next year and 16 in 1975 and 1976. The last Indy 500 race for a Gurney Eagle was in 1985.

active as a driver in the 1950s and ‘60s, Gurney founded all american Racers with Carroll Shelby in 1964, with the support of the Goodyear Tire Company. Gurney negotiated additional financing to build a Formula one car. This was the culmination of a dream he had while driving for Ferrari, BRm, Porsche and Brabham on the Formula one circuit. Shelby participated as a consultant to the company until 1969, when he was bought out, leaving

Gurney’s Eagles Spotlighted

By Johnny McDonald

Behind the WheelGurney the sole owner.

an Eagle first appeared on the Grand Prix circuit in 1966, at Spa Francorchamps, Belgium. after a year, Gurney won at the 1967 Brands Hatch Formula one race and followed this with a history-making win at the Belgian Grand Prix. History, because Gurney was the only american driver to win a World Championship Grand Prix in a car of his own construction.

He was the second american driver to win in an american-built car. The other driver was Jimmy murphy in the 1921 French Grand Prix in an Indianapolis-built Duesenberg.

other Gurney career high-lights as a driver, owner and builder include the 1967 win at the 24 Hours of Le mans, with a.J. Foyt in a Ford GT40 mark IV; two victories at the Rex mays 300; and five addi-tional IndyCar races from 1968 and 1970.

although he never pursued

a stock car campaign, he won five NaSCaR races in a six-year span at Riverside International Raceway.

The motoring Press used to joke that if Gurney qualified up front, he wanted to tear the car down to see why it ran so well.

Knowing Dan and visiting his plant was always a pleasure, particularly seeing all his photos on the walls.

13th Wasn’t So BadWhile El Cajon’s Jimmie

Johnson continues to battle as a frontrunner on NaSCaR’s stock car circuit, another from this area, alpine’s Cole Whitt fin-ished a career-high 13th in the Talladega 500.

as one of the many under-financed entries each week who generally finish no higher than 25th, Whitt was philosoph-ical about this situation.

“I hope we can build on this, and I think we can get back on those top 25s,” he said. “I know we can run, but we just have to prove it.”

GoDaddy Retains Danica but Drops Sponsorshipalthough Danica Patrick has

had seventh- and ninth-place finishes, GoDaddy announced that it is dropping sponsorship of her NaSCaR stock car at the end of the year.

However, they intend to retain her under contract as the company’s spokesperson.

meanwhile, another lady race driver, Brittany Force, picked up monster Energy as sponsor of her contending top fuel dragster.

The John Force family knows how to draw support. His other daughter is a leading Funny Car driver, as is her famous father. n

RUSD Trustees Hear About Successful learnersBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Youngsters are finding out how to become successful learners by following a 10-point program

offered at Ramona Community School and the Ramona Community montessori Program.

Ramona Unified School District Board of Trustees heard a report from Principal Kathryn Gunderson and program chair Laura Worthen on the “10 Characteristics of a Successful Learner” at its may 14 meeting. also making the presentation was Kelly Hicks, chair of the program at mountain Valley academy.

Staff members at the schools have joined together to come up with the 10 characteristics used in the program. a slide presentation showed the children

at work, with comments about how they enjoyed participating in the program.

In other business, the trustees appointed a new principal, and approved a new algebra book for the high school mathematics program and a grant application for the technical education program.

melissa Cobian was appointed principal for Ramona Elementary School. She will take over that position on July 1.

The algebra book, “Core Connections Integrated I,” has been in use during the current school year as a pilot program at Ramona High School, montecito High School and mountain Valley academy. It was highly recommended by the math teachers.

The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and

Technical Education act would pro-vide a grant of $32,695 for the 2015-16 school year. It is geared toward English-proficient, handicapped and economi-cally disadvantaged students and adults, and for gender equity. The grant would be used for funding of staff training, cur-riculum and equipment, as well as pro-viding access to local employers and businesses.

Ramona High School girls softball team coach Cori mcDonald was pre-sented a check for $1,000 by Chris Renn, representing California Casualty Insurance. Renn said his company issues about $17,000 in grants to high schools throughout the state.

Valedictorians and a distinctive leader from the three high schools were intro-

duced by Superintendent Robert Graeff. The valedictorians, selected based on their grade-point averages, are Robert Young, Ramona High School, and Kaylin Van Tol, mountain Valley academy.

montecito High School recently adopted honoring a distinctive leader who earns not only top grades, but also exemplifies involvement in the com-munity and concern for other issues. Salvador Hernandez is the winner of the Distinction in Leadership award for montecito High School.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting begins at 7 p.m. June 11 in Wilson Administration Center, 720 Ninth St. n

In a large nonstick skillet cook the meat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate. Drain any fat remaining in the skillet.

Heat the oil in the skillet over a medium heat. add the onions and carrots and cook, covered, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Raise the heat to moderately-high. add the mushrooms and thyme and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and their liquid has evaporated,

about 8 minutes longer. Return the meat to the pan. add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper and bring to a simmer being sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the peas. Pour the mixture into a 12-cup shallow baking dish (about 11 by 9 inches).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. arrange the potatoes in a steamer basket, and steam for 10 minutes. add the cauliflower to the basket and cook until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes longer. mash the vegetables with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the milk, butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper and stir into the potato mixture.

Spread the potato mixture on top of the meat and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.

Stephen Minister Commissioning Setmountain View Community

Church will commission four Stephen ministers June 28, when they will join eight others who are currently serving.

Stephen ministers are lay caregivers who are trained to provide one-on-one, confiden-tial Christian care and support. They help provide ministry to

people facing illness, sadness, change, loss or difficulties, such as fear, pain or loneliness, for as long as there is a need. They are typically assigned one per-son to care for and meet with for about an hour each week. The relationships may last from six weeks to more than a year, and end when the individual

reaches a point of strength, confidence, independence and autonomy.

For information, contact Stephen minister leader Judith Guest at 760-201-6927 or the church office, 1191 meadowlark Wy. n

rib & Chicken fest A Tasty Way to Support Ramona Senior Center

The 10th annual Ramona Community Rib & Chicken Fest on June 20 is an event

not to be missed for everyone who enjoys slow-cooked baby back ribs and chicken.

The fundraiser for the Ramona Senior Center nutri-tion program will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the olive Peirce middle School Performing arts Center, 1521 Hanson Ln.

In addition to the dinner of ribs and chicken, potato salad and coleslaw, with tea and lem-onade, there will be a bake sale, prize drawings, crafts and ven-dor booths, and face painting for the kids.

The center is now affiliated with meals on Wheels, Ramona, and the annual Rib Fest is its top fundraiser, making it pos-sible for the local nutrition program to provide more than 5,000 meals each month to seniors in nine different ZIP codes within the backcountry. Funds are needed, as food and delivery costs have escalated to $11 per meal.

“many of our recipients are

shut-ins and depend greatly on our delicious, delivered meals,” said Pete Bakarich, fun-draising chairperson for the Ramona Senior Center Board of Directors. “We need the support of the community.”

Guests who dine on the premises will enjoy an all-you-can-eat meal. Cost for adults is $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Dinners may also be ordered to go for $15. For chil-dren 12 and younger, meals of hot dogs and chips are available for $3.

advance tickets are on sale at the senior center, 434 aqua Ln., and online at www.ramonaseniorcenter.com. Click the “Ribfest 2015” tab. Sponsorships are welcome. Call 760-789-0440. n

nCHS Receives American Cancer Society Award

North County Health Services (NCHS) was named Primary Care Partner of the Year for 2014 by the american Cancer Society. NCHS received the award for promoting cancer screenings, increasing cancer-screening rates and providing access to these services to North County residents.

“This award is a meaningful testament to our team’s collaborative efforts,” said

North County Health Services mPH, President and CEo Irma Cota. “From a public health perspective, this is a huge

honor, and it is verification of our dedication to our mission of providing quality and comprehensive healthcare services.”

NCHS is increasing colorec-tal cancer screening services in its Ramona Health Center, and at other area centers, and projects to boost screening rates in their health centers to 36 percent this year. n

By Jim Evans~ the journal

as if there were not already enough reasons for people to lose weight, a new

study published in Lancet oncology reveals that 5.4 percent of all cancers in women and 1.9 percent in men are associated with a high body mass index (BmI) — in other words, fat.

Why? Because surplus body fat interferes with certain hormone cycles and with the metabolism of glucose and fat.

according to the study, obese women were particularly prone to cancers of the gallbladder, ovaries, uterus and postmeno-pausal breast cancer, while obese men were more suscepti-

ble to cancers of the esophagus, bowel, kidneys and pancreas.

So, how can individuals find out their BmI? Your physician can usually tell you, based on your height and weight, or you can refer to the websites of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where you can calcu-late your own BmI. Some local health clubs/fitness centers can also calculate your BmI with a portable hand-held body fat analyzer.

a BmI of more than 30 is considered obese; a BmI of more than 25 is considered overweight; and a BmI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal. an increase of just one point — for example, from 29 to 30 — increases your cancer

risk as much as 10 percent. However, BmI relates only to body weight and does not distinguish between fat and muscle mass, so a bodybuilder or other well-muscled indi-vidual might have a very high BmI because of carrying more muscle weight. measuring abdominal girth has, in recent years, become a more reliable indicator of overweight or obesity, because it focuses on the proportion of fatty tissue.

abdominal fat, in particular, has the most negative impact on health, not only because it increases cancer risk, but also because it facilitates the

development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic disorders.

The good thing about a high BmI is that you can do some-thing about it simply by losing weight — or not gaining it in the first place. and a regular regimen of a balanced diet and exercise can help avoid many types of cancer. n

movements executed at high intensity across broad modal and time domains.”

It consists of a combination of aerobic exercise, olympic weight lifting and body-weight exercises. Classes typically last for an hour and include a warm-up, skill development, a very intense “workout of the day,” and a cooling-off period for stretching. all of this is per-formed in a group or communal setting, which enhances the effectiveness of the program through positive peer pressure and re-enforcement.

Every facility has its own style and culture, but they share a common commitment to the CrossFit philosophy.

Longtime Ramona Fitness Center (RFC) owner Peter San Nicolas recognized that the pro-gram could add another dimen-sion to his already-successful model. For one thing, CrossFit

really works. For another, people seem to really like it. and RFC already had its own style, culture — and space.

San Nicolas has seen a host of fitness facilities come and go over the years, but he is con-stantly reinventing his club to stay ahead of the game.

RFC has always provided a broad selection of services to the local community, but San Nicolas knows that fitness can be fickle, as evidenced by the ever-changing landscape of fitness fads over the years, from vibrator belts to rollers, and from Tae Bo to the Shake Weight. Some of those fads, in time, have moved beyond their faddishness to become staples of the industry, such as aerobics, spinning, boot camps and even pole fitness.

When San Nicolas makes up his mind to do something, he makes it happen. Fast. over

a recent weekend, he effec-tively converted the spacious 1,700-square-foot personal train-ing/functional training area into a multiuse area to encompass both personal training and CrossFit by installing highly resilient rubberized flooring to replace the carpet and added racks, boxes, rings, bands, olympic bars and other equip-ment specific to CrossFit.

“our philosophy at RFC over the years has been to innovate or die,” San Nicolas says. “What we particularly liked about CrossFit is that it allows us the flexibility to teach it ‘our way,’ in smaller, more intimate groups at a more controlled pace without compromising results. This allows us to work with more people of different fit-ness levels, participating under the guidance of our certified CrossFit coaches.”

The center has three certi-fied CrossFit coaches who are also certified in disciplines such as personal training, nutri-tion, kettle bells and sports conditioning.

San Nicolas says, “We are constantly striv-ing to improve ourselves by adding new and exciting programs to our menu of services.” n

So What is CrossFit, Exactly?By Jim Evans ~ the journal

CrossFit is the brainchild of Coach Greg Glassman, who nurtured the program

from just another passing fancy into a juggernaut of fitness.

The fitness regimen started 15 years ago in Santa Cruz and

boasts a community of more than 4,500 gyms worldwide, more than 11,000 affiliated gyms and more than 100,000 accredited CrossFit Level 1 trainers.

Pet Safety and Summer Vacations For those taking the family pet on a road

trip this summer, here are a few solid travel suggestions. • Get your pet microchipped. Identification is

important, especially away from home. • Bring records and certification of vaccination

with you. • Provide a cool, comfortable area in the car

where your pet is secure. * This will not only keep your pet safe, but avoid driver distractions.

• Car carriers should be well-ventilated.

• Larger dogs may need to be belted in with a special dog harness, or barrier screens and gates can be installed to restrict the pet.

• Familiarize your pet to traveling by taking a series of short road trips.

• Bring along a pet toy or blanket that is soothing to the animal, so he or she associates the car with a safe place, just like home.

• Bring plenty of food and water for your pet. • If your pet is subject to carsickness, you may

want to invest in rubberized floor liners or waterproof seat covers.

• Remember: Never leave your pet inside of a car — even for a short duration of time. Regard-less if the windows are open, a parked car can rapidly heat up and cause heatstroke or death.

• Talk to one of our veterinarians about other strategies or whether a mild sedative could make the travel easier, and above all, enjoy your summer vacation!

MICHAEL E. CLACKFURNITURE RESTORATIONS

By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

With more warm weather on the way, there may be perilous days for

pets. Slithering snakes can strike with vengeance.

Dr. michelle metcalf at adobe animal Hospital said they are averaging two to three snake-bite cases a week, and with the summer ahead, that could increase.

“We didn’t have much of a winter, so they are coming out earlier, and there seems to be a lot of them,” she warned.

“any time you have some-thing like a snakebite, it imme-diately affects the tissues, and the blood starts to change. It causes problems throughout the body system.”

She advises that the best thing is to get your pet to a veterinarian quickly.

“Dogs typically get bit on the face, because they tend to stick their nose into everything,” she said. “Cats are bitten on legs. When they come in from outdoors, you may see severe swelling and bruising. It is painful for them.”

She added that warm weather also brings concerns of heat stroke.

“make sure they have plenty of shade and water, and maybe sunscreen, if they have a thin coat,” she suggested.

Dr. metcalf joins adobe animal Hospital owner Dr. Donald Wood, and Dr. amanda Perry, licensed veterinarians who treat all types of pets and animals. The staff also includes two registered technicians and three receptionists.

The facility is a full-service animal hospital and takes both emergency cases as well as less-urgent medical, surgical and dental issues.

They take care of pets from other areas, including Julian and

Borrego Springs.In the case of severe injuries,

the pets may be sent to special-ists located in La mesa, Kearny mesa or Sorrento Valley.

not So Lonesome Trails San Diego County is graced

with a network of well-groomed trails that invite a steady stream of hikers.

With envious weather as a backdrop, it becomes a lure for those who want to explore our backcountry.

It’s a backpacker’s paradise. Find suitable trails that befit

your walking experience on tours of canyons, mountains or deserts. Head for a summit and be rewarded by breathtaking views.

That’s why John Degenfelder formed Ramona Trails association 31 years ago, to provide proper and sometimes challenging “paths” in the area.

“We have well over 100 members in the association,” he said. “The intent is to improve and to build more trails for non-motorized use. members are assigned to manage the trails.”

“Now, news about all California trails can be found in several magazines,” Degenfelder noted. “Hiking has become

real big.” He said hikers must under-

stand the rules about not get-ting off the trails and should be aware of private property.

His pet project, which has extended over 15 years, is to restore the old 97 trail. This involves the County Parks and Recreation, and California and Federal Fish and Wildlife departments.

He said he hopes to have it run from San Pasqual, along the Santa maria Creek and then

toward the mountains. “Part of the old surveyed 97

trail is private property,” he said. “The Nature Conservancy has purchased close to 3,000 acres of it.

“They’ll have to allow for a three-year period for environ-mental studies, and probably a year and half for the fish and wildlife to agree.”

In total, it is comprised of 15 to 20 miles of dedicated trails and 30 miles of pioneer trails. n

The Julian Dance and Back Country BarbecueBy Bill Fink

The Julian Dance and Back Country Barbecue returns June 13, for its ninth-annual installment.

This charitable event by the Sons of the american Legion in Julian is held at menghini Winery, 1150 Julian orchards Dr., at the corner of Farmer and Wynola roads.

opening the show is Shotgun Wedding, a six-piece band with great musicians from Nashville and L.a., playing country covers that will get you out on the floor dancing.

Next up at 5:30, fresh from their win for Best outlaw Band in the

country at the ameripolitan awards in austin, Tex., are Gethen Jenkins and the Freightshakers.

Headlining the show, coming all the way from Nashville, are mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash. Stuart and the band play in large country venues in america and Europe, and with San Diego roots, this should be a great homecoming. The BSoJC are not a tribute band. They play original music that has been making the country charts for years.

The new stage and large dance floor are professionally lit by Dave’s musical Entertainment, and the “big” sound is by ProSound.
