David

Bayer

After retiring with 32 years serving the Ventura

City Fire Department, David Bayer felt the best

way he could give back to the community was to

volunteer. David has contributed many volunteer

hours in the community, supporting FOOD Share,

Community Memorial Hospital, Museum of

Ventura County, Ventura County Community

Foundation, American Red Cross Ventura County,

Ventura County Library and KCLU. Additionally,

David was inspired to create 911MAPP, an idea

with a simple goal: to enable individuals to

organize their medical history. Founded after his

retirement in 2005, 911MAPP is critical to the

successful treatment of patients in emergency

situations, allowing emergency medical

personnel to quickly assess, treat, stabilize, and

transport patients. Davids ultimate goal is to do

more than take up space. By volunteering David

has the opportunity to motivate others to do the

same.

Middle East: Cultures and Conflicts (Roskin & Goyle),

No Less than Victory (Shaara), TheWarriors Path

(LAmour), The History of Beer Pong (Singer), and The

Prince (Machiavelli). What group did you hang out with

in high school? Intellectual jocks. What was your favorite

thing to do on the school playground? Dodgeball. What

does Ventura County need? The best thing that could

happen to Ventura County would be for the east and

west halves of the county to come together. They really

do operate independently, to the detriment of both. The

Camarillo grade seems to be not only a physical barrier,

but an emotional one, as well. Bridging that feeling

would be a benefit to all members of our community.

However, if that doesnt happen, how about a minor

league baseball team? Which word or phrase do you most

overuse? I have a meeting at __ oclock. What is your

greatest fear? While I am not a huge fan of the dentist

or colonoscopies, and I certainly have a healthy fear of

dying in a fiery crash (automobile or plane), in the end,

my greatest fear is disappointing my family. If I can avoid

that, nothing else really matters or scares me. If you could

change one thing about yourself, what would it be? To

never waste another minute complaining, whining or

gossiping. It strikes me as odd, and as a weakness, that

knowing these things are a complete waste of time, and

even counter-productive, I still slip into them on oc-

casion. What is your greatest regret? That I didnt join

the military after graduating high school. It was 1975,

post-Vietnam, and the military was purposefully shrink-

ing. I still should have served. To this day, I cannot meet

a veteran or active-duty soldier without being terribly

grateful and a little bit embarrassed. Who is your real-life

hero? My real-life hero is my real-life wife, Randi. What

is your motto? There is only one success to be able to

spend your life in your own way.

hero? My hero has always been my dad, Robert, who

recently passed away. He was one of the kindest people I

have ever known. He taught me everything from math

to keeping the inner child alive. He had a corny sense of

humor and always made holidays special. My hero since

I was young was Rosa Parks. She stood up for what she

believed in, against all odds. Being a black person in

the South and a woman, she was a catalyst who altered

history and that is powerful!

A pollingc om p a n yr e c e n t l yasked 2,252Amer icanadults: Ifyou couldlive forev-er in goodhealth at aparticularage, what age would you like to be?The average age selected was 50,

which some would say is the new 30.This is a trendy phrase to which oth-ers of a more skeptical nature might re-spond, Yeah, right.

I turned 50 this year, and Im on thefence about it being the best age atwhichto live forever. The downside is that Idont always like what I see in the mir-ror, and sometimes muscles hurt for noreason. Other than that, I guess being50 is OK.But Im one of those for whom health

problems havent yet become a huge is-sue.Which iswhy Iwasnt going to havea colonoscopy.My doctor, whos generally conserva-

tive about running tests, insisted on it.I thought about the risks, the people Iknew whod never done it and the hid-eous stories about the preparation.

Luckily forme,myHMOdoesnt rushinto anything, so it was twomonths be-tween my doctor ordering the colonos-copy and the gastroenterology depart-ment actually giving me a call to setup an appointment. After I reluctantlyaccepted their proposed date, I had an-other month in which to psych myselfup for it.The only thing I can compare it to is

jury duty. You have to go even thoughyou know its going to be awful, but atleast itll be over quickly. Unless some-thing goes wrong and you have to comeback for further prodding.

My biggest concern about having thecolonoscopy was the possibility of ac-cidental perforation of the colon, whichoccurs during a very small percentageof procedures. The problem with smallpercentages is that if it happens to you,

then it becomes 100 percent.I wasnt too worried about the prepa-

ration,which nearly everyonewhos hada colonoscopy likes to share stories of,replete with plenty of ick factor. Really,though, drinking that magical liquid isnot that bad.Nor is what it does to you, if you look

at it as just a few hours out of your life,where you can spend the time produc-tively by analyzingwhich bathroom tilesneed replacement and how much groutit will require.

I went to the hospital the next morn-ing, and was treated very well by medi-cal staff, who kindly knockedme out fora great little sleepwhile the colonoscopywas painlessly performed.Whichwouldbe the end so to speak of the storyhad the doctor not told me that hed re-moved a precancerous polyp.My husband and I named it Patsy. As

a precaution, Patsy the polyp went tothe lab to be biopsied. I received a callfrom a technician about a week later,conrming what the doctor said: Patsywas, indeed, precancerous, and that Ishould return for another colonoscopyin three years.This is from the website of the

Mayo Clinic (www.mayoclinic.com/hea l t h /coloncancer/DS00035/DSECTION=causes):Colon cancer most often begins as

clumps of precancerous cells (polyps)on the inside lining of the colon. Polypscan appear mushroom-shaped, or theycan be at or recessed into the wall ofthe colon. Removing polyps before theybecome cancerous can prevent coloncancer.So now I know that being that won-

derful forever age of 50may have hiddendrawbacks, nomatter howgoodyou feel.Its a little scary to think that if I had

chosennot to have the procedure fearingperforation or citing those friends whonever had a colonoscopy and were neor knowing that the prep part is yucky,thenPatsymayhave evolved into cancer.No ifs, ands or you know about it.

Larry Jones

In 2009, Larry Jones retired from teaching. He left

with more state and national Academic Decathlon

wins than any coach in the nation. Larrys secret

talent was to nd underachieving students and

help them reach their full potential. For 12 years,

Larry spent four hours after school and ten hours

on Saturdays, coaching the Moorpark High School

Academic Decathlon team to four national victories.

He even coached his son, Nathaniel, on one of these

championship teams. He recounts his happiest

times as being in the Oval Office and introducing his

students to presidents. Today, Larry serves as director

of Teaching American History, and he teaches local

and global history and current issues in the Charles

Green Memorial Community History Series a free,

monthly series he founded and named after his

father-in-law, who taught until the age of 92. Larry

and his family actively support the American Cancer

Society Relay for Life, the Moorpark Food Pantry, and

the Moorpark High Street Arts Center.
