Passions and Public Health Predicaments in the Pacific
Feb 15, 2018
Thomas E. Novotny, MD MPH Professor Emeritus, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, San Diego State University Dr. Novotny is a graduate of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (MPH Epidemiology). He completed residency training in the UCSF Family Medicine Program in Santa Rosa and in the Preventive Medicine Residency at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. He is Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at San Diego State University. Dr. Novotny was Professor of Epidemiology at UC San Francisco (UCSF) in 2002-2009, and then was co-director of the Joint PhD program in Global Health at San Diego State University and UC San Diego, where his research focused on global health diplomacy, tobacco, and non-communicable diseases. After more than a decade in academic medicine, he returned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in January 2016. He relocated from San Diego to Washington DC to serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health with a focus on Science and Medicine. We are fortunate that he again lives full time in San Diego so that we could have him as our speaker today and learn about some of his more memorable experiences in the role as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health. Dr. Novotny is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is a Fellow in the American Academy of Preventive Medicine. He has published more than 190 scientific articles and co-edited four books, including 21st Century Health Diplomacy. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree and membership in Alpha Omega Alpha honorary society by the University of Nebraska in 2015. |

“Passions and Public Health Predicaments in the Pacific” Dr. Novotny will present the historical basis for the United States’ political and public health commitments in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands, including the Territories of Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, as well as the Freely Associated States of the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. From the devastation of World War II, through the nuclear testing in the ‘Trust Territories,” to the emergence of independent small countries that are now threatened by climate change, to the appearance of zika in French Polynesia, to the growth of multinational military interests across the Pacific, to the explosion of the obesity epidemic among Pacific Islanders, to the challenges facing US and other nations’ health programs in trying to deliver health across this vast geographic area, the Pacific remains as complicated and as evocative to health professionals today as it was to the artist Paul Gaugin in the 1880s. |

There is enormous value in fear, risk, struggle and failure
Mar 01, 2018
As an entrepreneur, business owner and professional skydiving entertainer, Ron Lee has, like most business owners, seen the best times and the worst times in business. Myriad moments of immense risk, fear and challenge in both his skydiving and business management careers have occurred, leading him to epiphanies he never expected. Thus, Ron suggests that we reconsider the very basic nature of fear, risk, struggle and failure, and how to utilize these as building blocks for the ultimate goal of SUCCESS. For Ron personally, questioning customary ideas about these intense life experiences resulted in galvanizing moments of understanding. As his audiences learn early on, “There is enormous value in fear, risk, struggle and failure”. With more than thirty years of skydiving, entertainment, leadership and real-world business ownership experience, Ron has discovered that some elements of personal creativity and vision require deliberate efforts of meaningful, intelligent and quantifiable risk. Ron believes it is our voluntary and deliberate embrace of challenge and risk that stokes the creative fires of the human brain, and that our steps into the realm of repeated risk challenge helps result in the long term outcomes we desire. “Epiphanic moments result from a risk-rich existence”. With his compelling narratives around the real-life experiences as a professional demonstration skydiver, Ron connects the dots between deliberate, intelligent and manageable risk, situational discomfort, the “cannot fail” nature of skydiving and the resulting evolution in thinking that leads to greater understanding, accomplishments and personal success. He defines this path for audiences, leaving them with the tools needed to accomplish greater goals, master fear and insecurity and deliberately evolve their most creative selves. Ron’s entertaining multi-media presentations are punctuated with incredible stories and thrilling video from some of his most challenging and memorable skydiving performances. They are tailored to corporate, conference, community and service organizations, and serve to enlighten, inspire and awaken audiences to the incredible personal and professional outcomes that are the natural result of pushing beyond one’s perceived limitations. Ron Lee holds a US Parachute Association “D” license and PRO (Professional Demonstration Skydiver) rating, and has nearly 5,300 skydives. Currently serving as a US Parachute Association Safety and Training Advisor, Ron consults with professional skydivers and their teams, and provides counsel and guidance to FAA authorities when called up on to evaluate requests for FAA demonstration jump authorizations. Each year, Ron conducts several west coast training camps for experienced skydivers who want to qualify for their professional ratings. Ron is an FAA Part 107-certificated commercial drone pilot, and possesses myriad authorizations for drone flight operations in controlled airspace. |

Illiteracy Eradication
Mar 08, 2018
On a Mission to Teach Learning Disabled Children to Read Dr. Suki Stone is passionate about her position as a literacy advocate. Since she has spent the last 35 years teaching children with special education, Dr. Stone had no option but to create an entirely new method to teach these forgotten children to read. She is creator, founder, and facilitator of Reading Literacy Solutions for the You Read program, a revolutionary system designed to teach writing, reading, and comprehension to children and adults with learning disabilities, dyslexia or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Stone is also author of Rethink Reading Strategies, a book published in 2015. Since receiving her PhD from Claremont Graduate University jointly with San Diego State University she has led a crusade to help learning disabled children and adults recognize they are smart, passionate, but just learn differently. Most children are dismissed from their special education placements after just 14 sessions with Dr. Stone’s program. Dr. Stone helps many of her adult clients, who struggled for years, achieve their personal and business goals by becoming independent readers. Dr. Stone can be contacted through her website: www.youread.org or by phone 858-487-7889. |

Sisu Academy
Mar 29, 2018
Our mission is to support underserved and disengaged high school youth with a tuition-free boarding school education. This will allow us to move our students from environments that are inhibiting their success to becoming community leaders. The model is both exciting and unique. We believe that providing a project-based education with a focus on entrepreneurial skills, while having wraparound services on campus, is essential to our students’ success. Because we are a boarding school, we have more time in each week to devote to our students. We are able to work on many types of curriculum through project based learning including financial literacy and public speaking skills. And we will address important social and emotional issues required for future success. We do all this while also building a long-term self-funding model. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that is creating an internal, sustaining, accelerator on campus to create revenue and allow us to remain tuition-free. |

La Jolla's Nautical History Gallery
May 10, 2018
Joseph Frangiosa, Jr. is a curator, craftsman, artist and historian who specializes in handmade one-of-a-kind nautical history displays. In case you hadn’t noticed Joe’s little Nautical History Gallery and Museum across from the Maserati dealership on Pearl Street you really should note the hours he's open for business and stop in. His collection of historical ship models and related treasures will blow your mind. A description of Joe on the Gallery’s website says this: “I will produce any structure, concept or idea from the research of texts, drawings or photographs into a three dimensional format. Any time period or item of interest is possible. The ships and cases are handmade, utilizing poplar and basswood. Other materials, such as brass/aluminum tube, jewelry pieces, plumbing PVC, and leather eyelets, to name a few, are used to accent and detail the construction. Most of the displays to date come together to reflect revolutionary changes in Naval Technology, from the “Age of Sail” circa 1800 to the “Steam Era” circa 1900 and then the Aircraft Carrier.” You are encouraged to take a peek inside the books he was asked to bring in addition to examples of these spectacular models. The books include details of other specially commissioned creations that you won’t see at his La Jolla Gallery and Museum or at the San Diego Maritime Museum where Joe also works on displays and where some of his other models are on loan. Joe says his experiences serving in both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps helped to develop his strong interests in historical research. But we should let him elaborate on how he developed this unique trade and his vision for the Gallery. |

Our mission is to locate our homeless veterans and provide assistance by aiding them with basic daily needs. Simply put, we use the money from our sales to create care packages containing new socks, new shirt, tooth paste, tooth brush, water, and a meal.
