Copley bequest brings ‘wrap’ artist to La Jolla By LonniE BUrsTEin HEWiTT hristo, the world-famous wrap artist, is coming to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla on Feb. 1. He won’t be doing any wrapping here, but he will be giving a lecture before the opening of an impressive exhibit of his works, mostly from the collection of the late David Copley. Copley, who died in 2012, inherited the newspaper chain founded by his adoptive father, James Copley, and was publisher of the San Diego Union-Tribune from 1997 to 2009. A longtime La Jollan, he was a generous booster of the arts, one of MCASD’s most valued trustees and patrons, and the most prolific collector of Christo’s work in the country. To honor his life and legacy, the museum is presenting “X-TO+J-C,” a showing of more than 50 pieces from Christo’s 50-year collaboration with his wife, Jeanne-Claude, who died in 2009. Christo, born in Bulgaria, and Jeanne-Claude, born in Morocco, met in Paris in their early 20s, and discovered that they shared, besides a taste for public art, the same birthday: June 13, 1935. Their huge-scale projects, like “Wrapped Reichstag” installed

By PAT sHErMAn The owners of a building at 720 Silver St. that the United States Postal Service (USPS) has rented since 1975, and uses to sort incoming mail for 40 letter carrier routes, have put the property on the market. The 10,143-square-foot, singlestory building is listed on the CBRE commercial real estate website with an asking price of “best offer.” “It’s going to sell at a good price,” assured CBRE broker Paul LaFrenz, of Bird Rock. USPS has contracted CBRE to handle the sale of its properties and lease negotiations across the country, including the planned sale of La Jolla’s historic post office at 1140 Wall St. (See story, A10). Once it is placed on the market, LaFrenz will also handle the sale of the Wall Street post office (which USPS owns), though he said the Silver Street and Wall Street transactions are unrelated, and it is “coincidental” that he was hired to sell the annex.

By PAT sHErMAn Construction on the new lifeguard tower planned for La Jolla Cove will now begin in February, after lifeguards are relocated to a temporary tower and support facility nearby, the city said. The project includes replacing the existing 30-square-foot, woodframed lifeguard tower (built in 1980), and upgrading the 144square-foot support station there servicing La Jolla Cove beach — both of which are aged and deteriorating, said Mark Nassar, sEE CovE ToWEr, A3

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JANUARy 30, 2014 - Page a3
From Cove Tower, A1
City won’t add rails to La Jolla Cove bluff path; lifeguards may lock gate
the Public Works Department’s deputy director of architecture, parks and engineering. The new Cove tower will be 80 square feet with a steel frame and wood siding on a concrete cantilevered base. It was designed by Nakamura Terada Architects, which also designed the new La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower, which opened last year. APR Construction, Inc. is the contractor. Lifeguards have had problems with window glare and reflection in the Shores’ $3.8 million lifeguard tower since it opened last year, which make it difficult for lifeguards to see the water at certain times of the day. While the city is working to resolve these visibility issues, lifeguards are staffing a temporary, seasonal tower at La Jolla Shores that opens each day at around 2:30 p.m. (when bright, late afternoon sunlight makes it difficult for lifeguards to survey the beach from the defective new tower). Though Nassar said lifeguards were consulted in the design of the Cove project, San Diego Lifeguard Union spokesperson Ed Harris said the Cove observation tower and glass were ultimately designed in the same manner as the new Shores’ tower. Harris said he recently met with District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner to assure the issues are addressed. “We’ve been told that they will change (the problematic design) once they figure
Artist rendering of the new lifeguard observation tower at La Jolla Cove, as seen from the sidewalk above the beach. Courtesy out what the fix is at the Shores, but as we speak nothing has been changed in the design at the Cove,” Harris said. “We’re hoping to get to that point and we expect that we will, but we are ensuring that Sherri’s in the loop and she is on top of it.” In an e-mail, Nassar assured that “lessons learned from the La Jolla Shores lifeguard station will be implemented at the La Jolla Cove station to ensure all visibility issues are addressed.”
The cost of the La Jolla Cove project is just shy of $1.85 million, which is being funded through the use of deferred capital bonds and development impact fees. An access ramp to the mid-level landing overlooking the Cove will be installed to allow access for people with disabilities. In addition, new benches will be set at the midlevel area with storage cubbies for swimmers. Blue ADA parking spaces adjacent to the beach will also be re-striped. u
By PAT ShermAn And AShLey mACkin A lock placed on a gate the city recently installed in the fence above La Jolla Cove was only temporary, and intended to keep people from walking onto the bluffs during last week’s dangerous high surf. City officials have stated that the gate — installed to facilitate human access to the Cove bluffs as a deterrent to sea lions and birds gathering and defecating there — will remain unlocked. A private citizen ostensibly upset with people walking so close to the wildlife placed a lock on the gate shortly after it was installed, though the lock was promptly cut off (reportedly by a local business owner). Private citizens are not permitted to lock the gate, though Jill Esterbrooks, communications director for District 1 San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner, said lifeguards at La Jolla Cove may lock the gate if they feel the tide is too high or conditions make it unsafe to walk on the bluffs. People noticing a lock on the gate may ask a lifeguard or consult tidal charts at the Cove lifeguard tower as to how long the lock may remain in place.

‘Commercial trucks don’t belong in neighborhoods’ Tarnishing Our Jewel
I
’ve supplied photos of two commercial vehicles used by Hike, Bike Kayak on Avenida de la Playa that are parked on the streets of the Shores every day and are used to store kayaks that do not fit within their business locations. Not only do these vehicles constitute blight on our neighborhood, but their use as overflow storage is not permitted by applicable provisions of the municipal code. Moreover, these vehicles are only a small part of the fleet of at least 10 additional dirty, rusty, sand-filled work vehicles used by kayak merchants in the conduct of their business that are also parked on the streets of the Shores every day. None of the kayak companies operating in the Shores pay for sufficient space to conduct their business within their locations and all rely on public areas to support their businesses — whether that be parking work vehicles on the street, storing kayaks in vehicles parked on the street, assembling tour groups on the sidewalk or in the park, etc. Enough is enough. At a minimum, the residents of the Shores should not be subjected to these two eyesores parked daily in our neighborhood. More broadly, I question why the residents of the Shores should be expected to continue to subsidize these businesses by allowing them to operate in a manner that produces so many negative externalities on the neighborhood. The work vehicles, the failure to rent adequate space to conduct their business, all of it, are simply economic choices made by these business owners to increase their profits. This is particularly absurd, given that kayak rental generally is not a permitted use within the provisions of the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance and there is no possible way to construe the kayak business as currently conducted in the Shores as being consistent with the stated goals of the La Jolla Shores Planned District.
Photos by Reuben Rosen
Although my short-term goal is to remove these two particular vehicles from our neighborhood, I also want to shine a light on these businesses and how they affect our neighborhood. The ultimate goal is to force these operators to complete the noticed, public process required by the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance. We need to formally amend the permitted uses in the Shores Commercial Zone to include the kayak rental business as a condition to their continued operation in the Shores Commercial Zone. Reuben Rosen La JoLLa ShoreS
Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light reporter Ashley Mackin looked into the situation and spoke with the owner of Hike Bike Kayak, David Teafatiller. Acknowledging the problem, Teafatiller said it causes him equal frustration because this is the second time his truck has been vandalized, causing him expense and aggravation to clean it with a chemical solution that loosens the paint, making it easier to remove. Teafatiller said the first time his truck was vandalized, he called the police, who said there was nothing they could do unless the vandal was caught in the act. The second time it happened, business was so brisk, busy staff could not clean the truck for two weeks. Furthermore, Teafatiller said his truck has had the air taken out of its tires and eggs thrown at it, and that anonymous notes have been left on the windshield telling him to move the truck. Teafatiller explained that the truck is used for loading and unloading kayaks to transport to the beach. Acknowleding the limited parking in the Shores, he said he must leave the truck wherever there is a space available near his business. Teafatiller requested that before an upset community member leaves a note, he or she come speak with him in person about their concerns. Similarly, Chris Lynch, co-owner of Everyday California (formerly OEX) has also experienced forms of “tampering” with his vehicles. In the past, Lynch said, people have left dead fish in the back of the company long-bed Chevy truck, which is used to transport kayaks. Lynch said his personal truck, which has the company logo on the side, was egged earlier this week. However, Lynch said he does not face the same Hike Bike Kayak parking issues because his new location comes with parking for vehicles. Lynch said he hopes the community will come to appreciate the businesses and clients they bring to the Shores, and he’s hopeful the vandalism across the board, will stop. u

Frozen Shoulder Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is associated with pain, limited range of motion and stiffness. Frozen shoulder can develop in certain cases where the normal movement of the joint is compromised due to pain, injury, surgery, and/or chronic conditions including arthritis or diabetes. When movement of the arm is limited, the joint becomes stiff, restricting mobility. According to an article in Diabetes Forecast (2002), diabetes is a risk factor for frozen shoulder and affects about 20% of people with diabetes compared to 5% in people without diabetes. The condition is most often found in females and individuals between the age of 40 and 70. At Ability Rehab, your physical therapist will assess your range of motion, flexibility, strength, and develop an individualized treatment plan and home exercise program. Our therapists achieve great results in treating all shoulder ailments, including sprains/ strains, tears, tendonitis, bursitis, post-surgical and much more!

Historical Society hopes to end restoration in March By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) is in the final phase of a roughly $875,000 restoration and rehabilitation that will increase and enhance its exhibit space, also making it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (specifically, the addition of a lift to transport disabled guests from ground level to the basement, where there is meeting space, a catering kitchen and ADA-complaint bathroom). Built in 1904 and later sold to E. Virginia Scripps (half-sister of founding La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps), LJHS’s main building, Wisteria Cottage, was first offered as a temporary home for St. James by-theSea Episcopal Church (1906-08), which is also undergoing renovations across Prospect Street. “The work on our office and research center cottage is nearing completion,” LJHS Executive Director Heath Fox stated, via e-mail. “The work on Wisteria Cottage is progressing very well and we anticipate the contractor, Hill Construction, will be finished on schedule by the beginning of March.” Afterwards, Fox said LJHS staff has some work to do to ready (Wisteria) Cottage for public use, but that he anticipates re-opening to the public the first week of May. Fox said there have been no cost overruns on the project, or unforeseen
La Jolla historical Society executive Director heath Fox said Wisteria Cottage should reopen for public use the first week of may. Pat Sherman obstacles or challenges. “Ione Stiegler Architecture and Hill Construction, as well as the members of our own Board Facilities Committee, deserve much credit for cost control and quality maintenance,” Fox said. The LJHS will hold a series of events and receptions for its capital campaign donors, members and community constituent groups. The public will be welcomed back during a series of free open houses, from noon to 4 p.m. May 4-11, Fox said. The first gallery exhibition after the
reopening will be “Climate Change: Mid-century Modern La Jolla,” which highlights the “remarkably rich, creative culture that developed in 1950s and 1960s La Jolla, when a small circle of postwar modernists emerged to spearhead new ideas in the arts, design and architecture,” Fox said. The exhibition will include period photographs of modern architecture and objects that were exhibited in La Jolla’s museums and galleries, offered locally in retail showrooms, and made or designed by residents. u
La Jolla High School lands new principal By Pat Sherman San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten announced Jan. 21 that Dr. Chuck Podhorsky has been appointed the new principal of La Jolla High School. Podhorsky is the current principal at Hoover High School in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood. He holds an undergraduate degree in mathematics from UC San Diego, a master’s in educational administration from San Diego State University and a doctorate from UCLA. He will fill the vacancy that opened when former La Jolla High principal Dana Shelburne was reassigned to another position in the district last summer. Podhorsky was chosen with input from a selection committee comprised of La Jolla High parents and teachers, district administrators, the school’s associated student body president and Muirlands Chuck Middle School Principal Chris Hargrave, Podhorsky who is also departing for another position in the district. A search for her replacement at Muirlands is ongoing. La Jolla High Parent-Teacher Association President Beth Penny, who served on the selection committee, said three current San Diego Unified School District employees (including Podhorsky) came before the committee, and were ranked. Each candidate addressed the committee for about an hour, though committee members were not permitted to ask questions. Penny said each candidate possessed solid credentials, though Podhorsky’s name was ultimately forwarded to

David Copley
The Copley-Cristo Connection ■ Hugh Davies, director/CEO of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, talked to La Jolla Light recently about the CopleyChristo connection. Davies’ MCASD directorship was endowed by David Copley in 1998.
“
What was special about David was that he was so much more than just a collector; he was a true patron of artists, and a longtime friend of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. He first met them in the late 1970s, and continued that friendship till the day he died.

‘the Umbrellas,’ Project for Japan and Western U.s.A., 1987, by Christo Wolfgang Volz / ©Christo early portrait of Jeanne-Claude. Two of the pieces were donated by Christo, in honor of Copley, his patron and friend of so many years. But most of the works are from Copley’s collection. “The work he collected represents all of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s major pieces,” Dawsey said. “So it’s a very good overview of their career, and it shows the breadth of what they did over the decades, not just the wrapping, but everything else.” Few artists today enjoy Christo’s level of popularity, and fewer still are known by their first name alone.
“It does make him seem more of a rock star,” Dawsey said. “Despite the controversial nature of many of the large-scale works (two people were killed during 1991’s installation and removal of “The Umbrellas” in the California desert), they’re seen by millions of people, and the interesting thing is: they’re temporary. They take years and years to realize, and they’re only on view for a matter of weeks.” The big exception is the Abu Dhabi Mastaba, one of the worksin-progress Christo will describe in his lecture.
s
His passion for their work gave him the greatest pleasure, and I was fortunate to be able to share that pleasure. We’d fly out to the trial sites of their projects, where they’d be testing their materials and designs, and we’d spend the day, have lunch with them, and give ourselves a chance to see the world through Christo’s eyes. Many collectors are just passive accumulators of transferable goods, but not David; he had a real rapport with artists, and was always there, with admiration and support for their work.
Berlin (1971-95) and the brightorange “The Gates,” which transformed New York’s Central Park (1979-2005), involving decades of elaborate planning followed by months of troublefraught installation. The works originally appeared under Christo’s name alone, but were subsequently credited to both Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Together, they changed the way people looked at familiar objects and places. According to Jill Dawsey, MCASD’s associate curator, who helped organize the exhibit, Christo started out as a society portrait painter, in Paris. “That was his day job, and Jeanne-Claude’s family commissioned him to do her portrait. From the beginning, she helped conceive and execute the works, but the drawings were all his,” Dawsey said. “The draughtsmanship, the technique, of the drawings is incredible, and many of them incorporate maps, data and photos. They were used to sell the work, to convince potential patrons that the idea was worth funding.” “X-TO+J-C” includes many drawings and collages, and several wrapped pieces, among them an
www.lajollalight.com Originally conceived in 1977, this will be his first large-scale, permanent project. Made from 410,000 multi-colored oil barrels, it will be the world’s largest sculpture. It will also bring Christo’s career full-circle, since one of the earliest projects he did with JeanneClaude was a barricade of oil barrels, blocking a narrow Paris street. Christo will also talk about another work-inprogress, a project for the Arkansas River in Colorado. Conceived in 1992, it is finally close to being approved. “It will be fascinating to hear about all the negotiations behind the works, because that’s part of the works themselves,” Dawsey said. “The pieces reveal the physical world around us in a new way, but the complicated negotiations reveal the hidden mechanisms of how society actually works.” u

congressional reprieve
Task Force continues fight to save Wall St. Post Office
The private owners of the USPS’s letter carrier annex at 720 Silver St. in La Jolla are selling the property, which USPS has leased since 1975. Pat Sherman From PoSTaL annex, a1
SAVE THE POST OFFICE UPDATE
Inspector General David Williams has criticized the USPS’s drastic pre-funding of its retiree health benefits, as well as what some consider the privatization of USPS’s public assets — specifically via USPS’s real estate contract with CBRE (whose president, Richard Blum, is the husband of U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein). Peters thanked task force members for keeping him educated on the issue, and applying pressure on the USPS. In the past year, the task force was successful in its efforts to have the post office designated as both national and historic landmarks. “(Your efforts) have made a difference, and will continue to make a difference,” Peters said. “When we have such powerful logic behind us, obviously in government that’s not entirely determinative, but it is
s
The Silver Street property is the last asset in the trust of a private owner who lives overseas and wishes to “close out their estate,” LaFrenz said. “Investment highlights” listed in CBRE’s online ad for the annex include a “strong likelihood of USPS renewal” and “future redevelopment potential.” “The building provides investors with the security of a quality tenant who has occupied the building for many years,” the listing states. According to USPS Corporate Communications Specialist Eva Jackson, USPS has renewed the Silver Street lease several times
since USPS took possession of the building. USPS is currently in the second of two five-year lease renewal options, she said. The current extension expires July 31, 2015. USPS regional property manager Diana Alvarado said USPS is in lease negotiations with a prospective buyer, who is in escrow on the property. “We’re working with the new buyer and the plan is to extend our lease,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a non-issue. We’ll be staying there.” Though no retail services are provided at the Silver Street annex (which are offered at the Wall Street post office), customers may pick up vacation hold mail or retrieve packages when USPS leaves a notice of attempted delivery. u
By PaT Sherman The La Jolla Historical Society’s Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force received good news as it prepared to mark its second anniversary. The group of community volunteers banded together on Jan. 27, 2012 to fight the U.S. Postal Service’s planned sale of La Jolla’s historic Wall Street post office and relocation of its services. During a Jan. 25 rally outside the post office, Congressmember and La Jolla resident Scott Peters (D-52nd) said a provision inserted into the omnibus spending bill passed into law last week calls for a moratorium on sales of USPS’s historic post offices, such La Jolla’s. “The (House Appropriations) Committee is concerned by reports that the postal service is attempting to sell off many of its historic properties without regard to the preservation of these buildings — particularly that the postal service may not be following Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act,” Peters said. The spending bill provision calls for the moratorium until results from ongoing audits of the sales and relocations are made public. The USPS’s independent Office of Inspector General is conducting the audits.

Congressmember Scott Peters addresses attendees at Saturday’s rally, marking the task force’s second anniversary. Photos by Pat sherman something to start with.” Task Force chair Leslie Davis noted that community preservationists in Stamford, Ct. were successful in their attempt to temporarily thwart the sale of their historic post office. Several months ago, a federal judge issued a temporary injunction to block USPS’s sale of the Stamford’s post office to a developer who wishes to build an apartment complex. The court ruled that the USPS failed to follow National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) regulations. Davis said the moratorium gives the task force time to organize a similar strategy. “Two years ago, we said that a sale would be an adverse effect (on La Jolla’s post office),” Davis said. “We’ve always thought there was a case for that, but there was no legal precedent, and now there’s a legal precedent. These kinds of delays from Congress are helping us get our ducks in a row and do the next thing we need to do to save the post office. We have always said
that delaying this was part of our strategy — and that’s so far been successful.” Task Force vice-chair Joe LaCava said the task force has “had its low points in confronting a bureaucracy that played hide and seek with the facts, the process, the decision-making, and conformance to local and federal laws. “This journey is not over,” LaCava said. “Two years in, the building has not been placed on the market, the post office retail operations continue, and this building remains as vibrant as ever as the center of La Jolla’s walkable Village.” District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner, who also attended the rally, noted the “kudos” the task force received from the federal government on its handling of the appeals process and how “well organized and rational” task force members were throughout. “I am hopeful that by this time next year this (will be) our post office, forever,” she said. u

A Retrospective − Selling Real Estate in San Diego for 100 Years Willis Allen Real Estate is celebrating its centennial this year. For 100 years Willis Allen has been a continuously operating and highly successful real estate brokerage, which was founded in La Jolla. It’s such an incredible milestone, and one we’ve been anticipating for years. It has made me sentimental about this company, about my personal history with it, and about the people who are at the core of its success.

I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to lead this company into the next century.
It all started back in 1914. The company has been around as long as the U.S. Naval Base in Coronado, Spreckels Theater, the San Diego Zoo, the Grand Colonial Hotel, and even electricity in La Jolla. When company namesake, Willis M. Allen was at the helm, staff sold mortgages using a mobile office that operated out of a well-equipped Volkswagen bus! Much has changed since we first opened our doors, but our commitment to hiring the best 877-515-7443
and brightest agents – and going above and beyond for our clients – has remained consistent. We diligently train, educate and mentor our agents to make sure we are giving you, our clients, the best advice. Each of us at Willis Allen is proud of our company’s heritage, to our unwavering commitment to sage and appropriate counsel, and to our strong support of our local communities. Many of our agents have been with us for 20plus years, and some have been Willis Allen associates for 30 years or more. The supportive environment and tremendous respect for our peer group is imperative to maintaining our success for the next 100 years. Throughout the years Willis Allen Real Estate has literally made its mark on the San Diego landscape. Willis Allen was one of the major partners in the famed La Valencia Hotel. We helped fund the Crystal Pier in Pacific

Beach. And, we brokered a land deal in what eventually became Clairemont. Being a significant part of the community is a hallmark at Willis Allen. Through many decades our sales staff has committed itself to the support of our community by volunteering their time, talents and treasures to hundreds of local non-profit groups. I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to lead this company into the next century. I’ve always loved real e state, though I haven’t always made the best real estate decisions! I remember back in 1960 I had an opportunity to purchase a vacant lot in an undeveloped area east of Nob Avenue in Del Mar for $700. I had just turned 16, and I decided to use my savings to purchase a 1955 Chevrolet instead. Adults told me I had made a mistake, and I guess they were right. That lot today is probably worth close to $1 million. It was a lesson learned

for me, and one that shaped my future. I believe all of us can build our wealth, our portfolio, by investing in real estate. I joined the company in 1977. My kids grew up in the real estate business, and I feel fortunate that my two sons have embraced careers in the real estate profession. They are both focused – with real estate degrees – and are greatly respected, not only by Willis Allen agents, but also by our competitors. Our family is committed to ensuring that Willis Allen will be here for years to come – focused on you, as sellers and buyers, and on our communities. We remain fiercely independent and committed to service that is best for our clients and our community. We are San Diego’s greatest champion, her biggest fan, and we’re proud to call this beautiful place home…and to help our clients do the same. Thank you for trusting us with your buying and selling needs for the last 100 years. We look forward to working with you again in Willis Allen’s next century of service.

The larger-than-life statue is a fitting tribute to American dancer Loie Fuller, who took 1890s Paris by storm.

hopefully they’ll come up with other avenues of correcting it,” Blumenthal said, noting some methods the city can employ to legally scatter the birds and sea lions (in part per the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act), such as the use of air dancers, noise or water spray. The city is currently working on a comprehensive plan to manage La Jolla’s coastline and wildlife, including the seals at Children’s Pool and the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. However, Blumenthal said a request in the suit that the city add handrails to the path leading from the gate to the bluffs — a suggested safety precaution — won’t likely be adopted. “As long as the city doesn’t take any steps to make it safer with handrails, they’re not liable for anybody falling,” explained Blumenthal, who said he discussed the matter with the city attorney, comparing it with a similar legal quandary at Black’s Beach decades ago. “If they put in handrails, then they’d be assuming liability for people falling.” u
(comprised of residents and business owners fed up with what they consider city officials’ reluctance to solve the Cove odor issue) could be dismissed if the nauseating, albeit recently diminished, smell does not return in full force. La Jolla Shores attorney Norm Blumenthal of Blumenthal, Nordrehaug and Bhowmik, who filed the complaint, confirmed that merchants are reporting a significant decrease in the stench since easy human access to the bluffs was restored. Their presence has served as a legal and gentle deterrent to sea lions and cormorant birds gathering there. “So far, so good,” Blumenthal said. “There is some residue there, but it’s not a substantial problem. We’re hoping that it all just goes away.” A hearing in San Diego Superior Court has been scheduled for sometime in May. “Hopefully by then the smell will be gone and we can dismiss (the suit).

GUEST COMMENTARY
Candidate for U.S. Congress, 52nd Congressional District
T
ired of Members of Congress passing laws for us to live under, but exempting themselves? now more than ever before, we need a Congress that works for us — not the other way around. The double standards and special privileges in Washington have to end. If we want better results from Washington, we have to start by changing the culture of special privilege that politicians have created for themselves. That’s exactly why I’ve proposed my Fix Congress First Plan, which would impose a number of accountability and transparency reforms on Congress. judging by the defensive response of incumbent politicians like Scott Peters, you can bet Washington politicians won’t like it. My plan starts by eliminating the special exemptions for Members of Congress and requires that they live under the same laws they pass for us. During the Bob Filner sexual harassment scandal, Filner demanded that taxpayers pick up the bills for his bad behavior because he claimed he did not get sexual harassment training while in Congress. Guess what? Filner voted to grant Members of Congress a special exemption from the same sexual harassment training mandates that other federal managers are subject to.
The special exemptions continue with Congress exempting itself from a wide range of workplace safety rules, whistleblower protections, and even open government requirements on the disclosure of records to the public under the Freedom of Information act. My Fix Congress First Plan also eliminates the lavish pensions and special benefits for Members of Congress. just as I did here in San Diego, I propose to eliminate politicians’ pensions and enroll them into retirement benefits benchmarked to the penny against what taxpayers — the ones who foot the bill — receive. Those ObamaCare subsidies we’ve read about recently? under my plan, they’re gone. If ObamaCare is so great for the rest of us, Members of Congress should receive no better and no worse. also gone are the free travel junkets for Members of Congress paid for by special interests, like the $1.7 million that was spent alone on travel by outside groups in august 2013. My Fix Congress First Plan would also end the current practice of politicians passing bills they have not read, only to plead ignorance when we find out later that the law is unworkable or filled with giveaways to special interest groups. My plan calls for all of Congress’ legislative bills to be on a single subject to prevent unrelated amendments filled with benefits for special interests. To force transparency on the process, all laws would be posted online for
public review for at least 72 hours before a vote is scheduled. Finally, Congress should be held accountable for doing its job. If you don’t show up for work, you don’t get paid — at least, that’s the way it is for most americans. If you don’t produce a budget for your family, or you build a small business and don’t figure out how to pay for your employees, you suffer the consequences — so why should Congress be any different? It only makes sense that if Congress fails to pass the budget, every Member of Congress should permanently forfeit their pay for each day the budget is not done. as we have seen too many times, Congress is not open to change. Many in Congress have grown accustomed to the system from which they benefit. nevertheless, we have a record of successfully getting big reform done in San Diego — even over the opposition of entrenched politicians. When I first introduced our landmark Pension reform Initiative, many observers said it could not get done, but by working together, we built a broad coalition across San Diego and successfully put those important reforms into place. Making these common-sense reforms are not Democrat or republican issues, they are wholeheartedly american issues with the goal of making our government work again. I’m confident by building a case for reform and engaging the people in the process, we can repeat our success with making a reformed government we can be proud of again. … and it all starts with fixing Congress first. u

Marine Street Market & Spirits vows to serve La Jolla
M
y partners and I are the new owners of La jolla Liquor, located at 7402 La jolla Blvd. at Marine Street. We closed escrow two weeks ago and yesterday I was reading your paper and saw the article “Tarnishing Our jewel,” which blasted all the unsightly signs, banners and flyers. I found the article quite timely as we also viewed this business as blight on the neighborhood with the unappealing advertising all over it, and the surrounding area outside to boot. We immediately went to work on removing virtually all of this, outside and in. This effort will continue as we are having the dirty ice machine outside removed, sidewalks cleaned, beer banner flags eliminated and the like. Other improvements coming soon of note: n The new name is now “Marine Street Market & Spirits” (new signage to be installed reflecting this). n new exterior and interior paint. n new product line with less emphasis on alcohol and more on food, beverages and merchandise for the beachgoers. n Expanded hours with coffee
The liquor Box at 6980 la Jolla Blvd., like Marine Street Market & Spirits, is also undergoing a makeover. SUSan DeMaggio and bagels/donuts/croissants in the morning, prepared sandwiches for the lunch crowd, fountain drinks, soft-serve ice cream and Slurpees. n a beach shop with merchandise for the folks heading down the street to the ocean, selling sun block, towels, visors,
T-shirts and sand toys. Our goal is to have the improvements and changes completed for a March 1 grand opening. I hope this is welcomed news and I would be happy to discuss further of course. Grant Moseley Marine Street Market & SpiritS
Vacation rentals need monitoring I have a small house by the beach that I rent out as a vacation home. I have a contract that prospective renters must read and sign stating that there will be no family reunions, wedding receptions or large gatherings; there will be no more than six people (there are beds for six); no blow-up mattresses or sleeping on the couch; and in consideration of the neighbors, renters must move indoors at 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. I am very selective on who rents my home. On the other hand, we have a neighbor who rents his home in the Muirlands, who is quite the opposite. It’s all about the money. He lists his four bedrooms as “sleeping 10-plus,” and at times, there have been 12 cars on-site. He has no rules, so we’ve had to call the police numerous times as the college-age kids blast their music and “yahoo” the night away by the pool. I think the term “managed” should require true management, not just collecting as much money as possible. Carolyn Beed La JoLLa

iPhone classes prove popular My name is Eva Dunlap and I work at the La Jolla Community Center. The La Jolla Light mentioned that I was holding iPhone 101 classes for seniors at the center on Mondays and Wednesday and I thought everyone might want to know about how much they have taken off! Today, I coached a woman who almost broke out in tears because she said, “I communicated with my granddaughter more in this 40 minutes than I had in a decade.” The classes have become so popular that the center has begun doing private tutoring sessions for members and nonmembers. I just started taking appointments this morning and my week is almost full. We are even looking to expand the class with volunteer student teachers from The Bishop’s School. I think it’s important to bridge the technological gap between generations and my students and I are loving every minute of it! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, right?!

The yoga class was just showing off the wonderful full-page of photos. We are very appreciative of your support in helping introduce us to a new generation of women in La Jolla. We received some wonderful news — for the second consecutive year, we have been awarded the Couple’s Choice Award for 2014 from WeddingWire.com This places us in the top five percent of venues rated by Wedding Wire. A few weeks ago, we also were notified by TheKnot.com that we were selected as a Best of Weddings Pick for 2014 (our second consecutive year), and this places us in the top 1 percent of venues with their reviewers.

From new PrinciPal, a7 Superintendent Marten as the committee’s top choice. Though Marten was scheduled to make her choice during the school board’s Jan. 28 meeting, she expedited the process by deciding during a closed session portion of the school board’s Jan. 21 meeting. “The white smoke has gone up … and we’re basking in the happiness of our newfound leader,” Penny said. “We were very happy (with the outcome). We didn’t know until Tuesday whether Cindy Marten would take our recommendation. … and we’re grateful that she did.” Penny said the selection committee was impressed by Podhorsky’s strong academic background and affability (students at Hoover High refer to him as “Mr. Smiley”). “I think he will be very well received in our community,” Penny said of Podhorsky, who is expected to begin at La Jolla High in early February. Chief among the new principal’s stated priorities is to assure that La Jolla High is an integral part of the La Jolla community, and not an insular institution. “He said, ‘La Jolla High is for
all of La Jolla. We are their school,’ ” Penny added. “He sees the big picture, and we’re very happy with that.” San Diego School Board President Kevin Beiser, who has worked with Podhorsky for many years, said Podhorsky would make a “phenomenal” addition to La Jolla High. “He understands researchbased reforms that help students succeed,” Beiser said. Working with parents, the community and staff, under Podhorsky’s leadership Hoover High has undergone an impressive academic transformation, using data to help “turn around students who would have otherwise failed,” Beiser said. In a blog on Hoover High’s website, Podhorsky wrote that the school’s Academic Performance Index had experienced at 219-point gain, “the largest in the San Diego Unified School District (more than La Jolla High and Scripps Ranch High, he boasted). “I’m confident that he’s going to take his can-do attitude deep knowledge of academics and curriculum and help students at La Jolla High achieve an even higher level,” Beiser said. u
OBITUARIES
Eleanor B. Atkinson 1921 – 2014
Eleanor Atkinson passed away at her home in Laguna Niguel, CA, on January 12, 2014, one week before her 93rd birthday. She was born Mary Eleanor Brunsman on January 19, 1921, in Greenview, IL, a small town near Springfield where she grew up and went through high school. She went on to graduate in 1943 from MacMurray College in Jacksonville, IL, with a B.A. in Music, and was active as a church organist and pianist. In 1946 she moved west to Pasadena, CA. While working there in an engineering firm, she met her husband, Thomas
G. Atkinson, who was a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy Seabees. They were married in 1948 and in 1951 moved south to San Diego, where he was assigned to lay out the newly created Miramar Naval Air Station. When he left the service in 1953, he established his own engineering firm in San Diego. First residing in La Jolla, they made their home in the Bay Park area for 50 years. Eleanor was a member of La Jolla Lutheran Church for more than 60 years and was also active in the San Diego Lions Club “Lioness” auxiliary and the SEAnoras auxiliary of the Structural Engineers Association of San Diego. She was a season subscriber to the San Diego Symphony for many decades. She is survived by her sons, David of Dana Point and Daniel of San Diego; grandsons, Matthew of Denver, CO, and Jonathan of Dana Point; and her brothers, Kenneth Brunsman of Kerrville, TX, and George Brunsman of Littleton, CO. A memorial service will be held at La Jolla Lutheran Church on Saturday,

Kimberly Doede Schleef 1969 – 2014
Kimberly passed away January 10, 2014, following a lengthy battle with cancer. She was born on May 11, 1969, in Hinsdale, Illinois, and moved to La Jolla at the
age of 12. In her 44 years, she lived a full life and made sure she left an indelible mark on the world. She graduated from The Bishop’s School and then received her Bachelors degree at the University of California, Berkeley. During this period some of her activities included immunizing six thousand indigenous Guarani people in Paraguay, spending a summer building latrines in Uruguay, and working as a doula assisting in the birthing of babies. Kimberly felt great joy in helping better the lives of others. Fiercely independent, Kimberly loved to travel (eventually visiting over 40 countries) and after graduating from CAL, took an eight-month solo-backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. She then received her Doctor of Osteopathy at A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri. She completed her internship and residency at Downey Regional Medical Center in Downey, California. In 2001 she married Dave Schleef and moved to Portland, Oregon, where she had a
thriving practice as both a family practice physician specializing in osteopathic medicinal manipulation and healer. A deeply spiritual person, she felt a strong connection to the Earth and nature. She was innately maternal, advising and protecting both family members and friends throughout her short life. When Kimberly loved you, she did it with her whole huge beautiful heart. She is survived by her husband, Dave Schleef; parents, Robert and Nina Doede; mother, Katherine Doede; sisters, Erika Doede, Lauren Schwartz and Aubrey Doede; and brother, Craig Doede. A private family service followed by interment and a memorial service for family and friends was held on January 18, 2014, in Portland, Oregon.

Volunteers sought to survey Marine Protected Areas By Ashley MAckin San Diego Coastkeepers and Wildcoast are teaming up to host a Marine Protected Area (MPA) Watch volunteer program on Feb. 8 in La Jolla. “What I’d love to have is all these people who live in La Jolla — who love La Jolla and care about La Jolla and spend a lot of time along the water — to come out and learn how they can help us,” said Kristen Kuhn, Community Outreach director for San Diego CoastKeeper. The training session will explain what a MPA is (though Kuhn said, in short, a MPA is like a state park, just in the water at beaches and wetlands; where the mean high-tide line is; and how to record observations in a way MPA Watch can use the data. La Jolla has two MPAs, one that spans from the Cove to Scripps Pier and another that spans from Scripps Pier to Torrey Pines Beach. There are 11 MPAs in San Diego County. Volunteers, once trained, will be asked to stand at points across or walk along the mean high tide line and look out toward the ocean and record human activity and then submit their findings for a survey. Zach Plopper, a representative for Wildcoast, said human activity below the mean high tide line often consists of joggers, children making sand castles, shoreline fishing (where permitted), surfing, kayaking, swimming and bodysurfing. “The point of these surveys is to help us

She added that the hours are flexible and that volunteers can contribute as much or as little data as they’d like. “Any input is valuable,” she said. “You don’t have to do at the same time every day or a certain amount of hours. When the information is random, it shows different trends.” The way information is recorded will be different for each MPA, Kuhn noted, and the training received for the La Jolla MPAs could only be applied in those areas. Those who want to volunteer for a MPA Watch survey for any other area would have to go to a different training session.

“When people realize they are in a Marine Protected Area, they think they can’t take anything (shells, rocks, fish). That’s not true across the board. In some MPAs you can fish, but the regulations are different at each,” she said. In 2012, the state of California expanded the Marine Life Protection Act to include adopting MPAs. Originally causing some confusion among residents, signage was posted indicating what is allowed in the
newly defined MPAs and what isn’t. The five-year review will be the first to evaluate the state regulations in place today. Hoping the training sessions will alleviate any confusion, Plopper said one of the goals for volunteers is to become educated, and then, in turn, explain MPAs to those who are confused. Volunteers will not be asked to approach people who might be illegally taking or engaging in activities not allowed under a particular MPAs regulations. u

By Ed PiPEr The ongoing rivalry between The Bishop’s School and La Jolla High (founded in 1909 and 1922, respectively), clashed again in boys basketball Jan. 21. “I’m nervous. I’m normally nervous before a game, but this (is different),” remarked a preoccupied Matt Niehues, Bishop’s coach. Said Knight senior Jake Dempsey, “People go pretty crazy over it. The stands are packed and it’s loud!” For Sahil Sheth, a sophomore starter for Bishop’s, it’s pretty personal. He played in the Hoopers youth program that feeds the LJHS program, so he knows the level of competition the Vikings would bring. “I was supposed to come to this school, so I know exactly what the rivalry is. These are my friends that I’ll be playing against, so I know exactly what is on the stake tonight,” Sheth said. What does the rivalry mean? ”It means everything. It means everything,” he said. Before the game, Vikings guard Ladd Castellano took a breath from warm-ups to comment, “I’m just really looking forward to the rivalry. I like getting wins against Bishop’s. We have to come out strong. We can’t think that we can just waltz over them like nothing.” La Jolla did come out strong, which it hasn’t always done this season. With a good, but not huge, crowd roaring on every basket, the Vikings jumped out to a 14-6 lead on baskets by Castellano and freshman Reed Farley. Nic Skala had a steal. Farley, a guard, blocked one shot, and then wrapped up the ball on another block to force a jump ball, which electrified home fans. Knight Dempsey said after the game, “we came out kind of shaky” at the outset. Then Bishop’s settled in, scoring 11 straight points. Guard Eric Yu had a beautiful steal and bucket during the run. Freshman Justin Woodley, effective all year, had two baskets, one off an assist by Sheth. La Jolla led 14-10 at the end of the first quarter, 27-23 at the end of the first half. As Sheth pointed out before the game,
neither the Knights nor the Vikings have much height, leading to a battle of the guards, with the victory going to the swift. In the heat of the fray in the third and fourth quarters, when the game was decided, there were times when players on the two teams madly groped, grappled, lunged and did every other kind of reach for the ball as it caromed around, bodies flying. The screaming crowd added to the confusion with a piercing soundtrack of volume, distorting as if the treble control was set too high. Bishop’s (10-5 overall, 1-2 in the Coastal League) scored 11 unanswered points a second time, and led 38-31 late in the third quarter. The lead hit 10 points on Dempsey’s field goal. La Jolla closed to within three at 48-45. But with 5:23 left in the contest, the 6-2 Sheth hit a set shot from three-point range. Moments later, Knight guard Matt Lizanich punched in his own three, putting the Knights up by eight. They never looked back. “We just needed to push the ball like we do and run the floor and execute our plays. I think we did that in the second half,” Dempsey said. Lizanich led all scorers with 20 points for Bishop’s. Castellano had 19 for the Vikings. La Jolla’s chronic struggle since three wins in the Montgomery tournament in December has been consistency. Coach Paul Baranowski said, “We’re still trying to find ourselves,” playing well in losing narrowly to Mission Bay, 54-50, only four nights before the Bishop’s game, after crumbling before mighty St. Augustine in a debacle Jan. 14. The Vikings (1-4 in the Western League, 9-10 overall) redeemed part of their season three nights after the Bishop’s loss by upsetting Cathedral Catholic on its home court, 65-57, Jan. 24. Skala put in a stellar performance, scoring 23 points, eight of those in the fourth quarter. u n SCORING: Bishop’s (68) — Lizanich 20, Yu 15, Woodley 14, Dempsey 11, Sheth 8. La Jolla High (54) — Castellano 19, Farley 15, Skala 10, Porter 7, Polger 2, Sepulveda-Sanders 1, Kerns 0, Duffy 0.

Dr. Kelly Parsons pens a thriller set in a hospital
A
uthor and surgeon Kelly Parsons grew up in La Jolla and graduated from The Bishop’s School. He obtained his B.A. degree in History from Stanford and his M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. After completing his medical training at Johns Hopkins, he joined the faculty at UC San Diego Medical School and The Moores UCSD Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he is currently an associate professor of surgery. Parsons lives in La Jolla with his wife, Genevieve; daughter, Leah; and son, Dr. Kelly Parsons Nathaniel. His first novel, “Doing Harm” (described as a chilling and compelling medical thriller) will be released Feb. 4, by St. Martin’s Press.
What brought you to La Jolla? My family moved here when I was seven. After graduating from high school, I lived in various places for 16 years before accepting a position at UCSD. Twelve years on the East Coast made me appreciate the southern California lifestyle in a way growing up here never could. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would love to see an independent movie house again in the Village. I still miss the historical Cove Theatre that used to be on Girard Avenue. Its undignified conversion into retail space, after more than 50 years of operation, was a real loss to the community. Who or what inspires you? My patients. Not a day goes by without at least one of them teaching me something profound about illness and the human condition. What is your most-prized possession? Not possessions, but gifts: my family, my friends, and my health — three things I try every day not to take for granted.

You can hang a blue ribbon on this pizzeria! By Kelley Carlson hen Wade and Kristi Hageman decided to open Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizzeria, they took a gamble and emerged as winners. “We put all our money into it,” Wade Hageman said. Fortunately, “We had a line coming out of the door from Day One. The community has been nothing but really supportive.” Hageman — a protégé of Wolfgang Puck — was looking to set up a restaurant that had the same food quality as the high-end restaurants in which he was accustomed to working, but one that was more affordable and comfortable for his family and friends. So he established a casual pizzeria that is often animated with chitchat and rock ‘n’ roll tunes, where people can enjoy cuisine worthy of fine dining. With the menu, Hageman takes an organic, sustainable approach, and he uses as many locally sourced ingredients as possible. “People can taste the difference,” the chef said. Guests can try for themselves through offerings that range from appetizers and pizzas, to soups and salads. A popular starter is the Heirloom Wisconsin Black Seed Popcorn, seasoned with truffle salt and Parmigiano Reggiano. Another is the Albacore Tuna Crudo with Hass avocado, ruby grapefruit and lemon olive oil. But the center of attention is the artisan pizzas, which are not the typical Italian Neopolitan pies: they’re more Americanized, with a browner, crispier crust. Made from dough that undergoes a three-day fermentation process, the pies bake next to burning white oak in a all-wood oven. One particularly unique kind of pizza is

‘The Who & The What’ pokes at tradition vs. modern life By Diana Saenger Considering the growing diversity of our country’s population, “The Who & The What,” penned by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar, is a timely look at a conservative Muslim family in Atlanta, Ga. The production will have its world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse, Feb. 11-March 9. Zarina (Monika Jolly), now married to Eli (Kai Lennox), is a smart and outspoken young woman who has written a new book about women and Islam. Its release sparks disagreements with her conventional father Afzal (Bernard White) and sister Mahwish (Meera Rohit Kumbhani). Directing the action is Kimberly Senior (“The Whipping Man”) who directed Akhtar’s acclaimed “Disgraced.” Senior said she wanted to work with Akhtar again, but was also impressed by the attention “The Who & The What” garnered at its developmental reading last

At that moment, I knew we
were working with something special.” Senior said the theme of “The Who & The What” is love. “First it’s a laugh out loud comedy, but it’s also a poignant, rich story about faith, the struggle between passion and reason, and the search for love — both familial and romantic. “It’s also exciting when we see actors on stage as the main characters of this play, regardless of race and creed, as they are the heart of this family,” she said. The subject of people from other countries and differing beliefs living successfully together is an ongoing challenge, globally. “And we don’t have a model for it,” Senior said. “It’s a new way to see how our older religions, faiths, traditions and rituals interface with a modern global world, and how we maintain what makes us individuals.” Finding the right actress for the role of Zarina was important to Senior.
Left: Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Ayad Akhtar’s latest is ‘The Who & The What.’ Above: Director Kimberly Senior Courtesy Photos “Monica did an original reading for us last year and eventually an audition,” Senior said. “Then we auditioned about 75 women coast to coast and realized she was actually the right one for the role. She’s terrific, as is all the cast.” Senior believes the characters are people
everyone will relate to. “Everyone has parents who want their children to get married, and it’s usually normal for some children to be defiant,” she said. “I hope that as people watch the play, they will think, ‘these people are just like me.’ “The way this play affects me with its challenge and
joy, and the way I see it affecting others, is an amazing way to touch other people’s lives. It’s about love and how we need equal doses of reason and passion. Maybe those who see it will go to sleep at night thinking differently than when they woke up that morning and that’s exciting.” u

Science meets food: Salk’s gustatory experiment
A
holistic medical pioneer in ancient Greece nearly 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates prescribed that food be used as medicine since it was the most powerful healing agent against diseases. That philosophy is embraced by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La
Jolla, which recently launched a wellness series. The Art & Science of Cuisine event (like Bill Nye the Science Guy experimenting in a new laboratory called the kitchen) took place Jan. 22 at the Institute with panelists reflecting a who’s who in the culinary and research world. The goal was

to whet palates, inspire mindful eating habits and enlighten guests on the human body’s response to both nutrition-rich foods and toxic or empty calories. The event sold out. Salivating in their seats, attendees anxiously awaited tastings from various stations, scrumptious and healthful goodies prepared by some of San Diego’s most avant-garde chefs. These included Nathan Coulon, executive chef at True Food Kitchen (health guru Dr. Andrew Weil’s-inspired Fashion Valley eatery), and Isabel Cruz, owner of Isabel’s Cantina and two other San Diego restaurants. Among the luminaries and their valuable presentations was Deborah Szekely, co-

founder of the Golden Door spa and legendary Rancho La Puerta wellness center in Tecate (her appearance alone is testimony to a lifetime of healthful eating and exercise). A glabrous complexed nonagenarian powerhouse who does Pilates six times a week, Szekely talked about the importance of eating all things that are alive, fresh, seasonal and organic. Raised in Tahiti, her mother cultivated gardens of fruits and vegetables on abandoned fishing boats, and strictly adhered to the philosophies of Hippocrates. Salk professor Dr. Ronald Evans, director of the Gene Expression Laboratory, distilled the theme of the event down to “eating whole, unprocessed foods that are healthfully prepared at home.” This allows us to control saturated fats, salts and simple sugars, which contribute to “globesity” (worldwide obesity), for starters. Evans explained that when we eat good foods it has the power to reprogram our geno, which in turn can

ward off problems like chronic inflammation, particularly arthritis. While eating poorly can trigger genes to behave badly, which can cause diabetes, cancer, hypertension and heart disease. Salk professor Geoffrey Wahl, also a member of the Gene Expression Laboratory, illuminated the difference between hunger and cravings. The former comes from the pit of your stomach, while the latter from the seed of your desires, based on past culinary experiences that gave you a sense of satisfaction and comfort. Wahl mentioned a study, wherein 100 percent of women had cravings (sweets), while only 70 percent of men had cravings (savories). According to Wahl, this is the ideal opportunity for behavioral modification because the things we crave are bad for us, like sugars and fats. Since cravings come at times of stress or boredom, his solution was a simple one — exercise daily to tweak endorphin flow for reducing both stress and boredom. Joy Houston, a certified raw food nutrition educator, suggested satiating sweet and savory cravings with healthy decoys. So if you crave potato chips, try kale chips instead. Su-Mei Yu, owner of Saffron restaurant and host of the TV show, “Savor San Diego” on KPBS, said she believes food is important to feed not only our bodies,
but our minds and spirits. When she cooks her daily meals, she first thinks of what’s in season, and then considers how she feels, and finally, the weather. As for the food part of the event, Coulon’s food station offered a chopped Mediterranean salad of arugula, red quinoa and marcona almonds tossed in a grape seed, lemon and oregano dressing, which was based on Dr. Weil’s antiinflammatory diet. Rancho La Puerta’s executive chef Denise Roa plated up Nopal cactus tostadas with marinated tomatoes, white bean puree, kumquats and local goat feta, garnished with calendula flowers — all produce grown on the retreat’s six-acre organic farm. Cruz delighted palates with poke tuna tossed with brown rice, organic kale and orange chili oil. Saffron served a variety of shrimp, chicken and tofu rolls in rice paper with peanut and chili sauces. For dessert, Michelle Lerach, owner of Cups in La Jolla, indulged guests with organic goodies ranging from lemon ricotta cupcakes and pineapple macaroons to spiced honey cookies and stuffed dates. To wash it all down, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters provided farm-to-cup organic coffee selections. u — For information on the next Art & Science of Cuisine event, contact cuisine@salk.edu or (858) 453-4100 ext. 1846.

Las Patronas distributes $400,000 at beneficiaries’ lunch By Ashley Mackin he La Jolla-based philanthropy organization Las Patronas held a luncheon at the La Jolla Beach & Tennic Club on Jan. 22 to present the $400,000 it raised (mostly through the annual Jewel Ball) to pre-selected beneficiaries. “This luncheon really is one of the highlights of the Las Patronas year,” said Susie Piegza, 2014 Jewel Ball chair. “We have the opportunity to actually see how the money we’ve raised goes directly to such deserving San Diego nonprofits.” The 10 major beneficiaries were chosen via an application process, and several minor beneficiaries will also receive money.

Proceeds will benefit dozens of local, national and international non-profit organizations. Last year’s sale raised more than $45,000 that was distributed to 24 groups, including Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital in Uganda, Dorcas House in Tijuana and St. Paul’s Senior Home in San Diego. The White Elephant Sale kicks off with First Choice Night, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. Complimentary wine, cheese and gourmet nibbles will be served. Admission is $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and a 20 percent surcharge will be added to items that night only. “We charge a bit more for the first pick of the treasures but it’s worth it,” said Nan Thomas, who, along with Sherry Seymour, is co-chairing the event. On Saturday, Feb. 8, the sale will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free, with no surcharges. The church’s Holy Smoke Grill will sell hamburgers and hot dogs. Sunday, Feb. 9, is Half-Price Afternoon, from noon to 3 p.m., with free admission and everything at a 50-percent discount. The last hour will feature the $5 Bag Sale, when customers may buy grocery bags for $5 each, and whatever fits in the bag is theirs. “That’s with the exception of furniture, jewelry and antiques,” Thomas said. “It’s a great way to scoop up lots of bargains, and there is no limit on the number of bags you may purchase.” For information, visit sjbts.com or (858) 459-3421. u

Almost Famous
La Jolla High grads still chasing the rock ‘n’ roll dream By Pat Sherman No matter how many rock concerts one experiences in a lifetime, one never forgets their first Rolling Stones show. For Carlos Rodriguez, guitarist and founder of La Jolla’s bluesinfused rock band, Stone Horse, his first time was June 13, 1972, during the Stones’ “Exile on Main St.” tour (with opening act Stevie Wonder). It was the band’s first U.S. tour since the deadly 1969 Altamont Speedway show, and a riot ensued at the Sports Arena after fans who purchased phony scalped tickets stormed the entrance. Rodriquez paid a scalper $8 for his $6 ticket — an “outrageous” price at the time, he said — though it got him in the door, unscathed. “The Stones just captivated the audience,” recalled Rodriguez, then a 16-year-old La Jolla High School student. “With everything I write, I’m trying to make the next ‘Exile on Main St.’ … I’m like the sixth Stone.” Decades — and many more Stones’ concerts later — Rodriquez is still happily pursuing his dream to headline the Sports Arena (today
If you go ■ What: Stone Horse CD release show ■W hen: 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 ■ Where: Beaumont’s Eatery, 5662 La Jolla Blvd. ■ Website: stonehorse.net known as Valley View Casino Center). Until then, rock ‘n’ roll fans can catch Rodriguez and Stone Horse up close and personal, 9 p.m. to midnight Feb. 1, during a release party and concert for their new CD, “Grit,” at Beaumont’s Eatery. Stone Horse’s sound is influenced by 1970s arena rock greats such as Free, Bad Company and The Guess Who, as well as newer Southern
The members of Stone Horse: guitarist Carlos Rodriguez, vocalist Danielle Spade, guitarist Greg Wadsworth, bassist Gene Beavers and drummer Bill Ray. Courtesy rock acts like The Black Crowes and Atlanta’s Blackberry Smoke (who Rodriguez counts as personal friends). The show at Beaumont’s will include a mix of originals and classic rock covers, including a few obligatory Stones’ tunes, such as “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” Respectable” or “Dead Flowers.” The band, formerly known as the Carlos Blues Experience (changed to Stone Horse to take the focus off Rodriguez and avoid being confused for a Santana or Jimi Hendrix cover act), also
includes: vocalist Danielle Spade and guitarist Greg Wadsworth (both La Jolla High grads, class of 1982), renowned San Diego drummer Bill Ray (from the late Ike Turner’s band) and bassist Gene Beavers. Rodriguez wrote most of the music on “Grit,” while Spade penned the lyrics. The name Stone Horse is a nod to Spade’s day-job providing mobile acupuncture and dentistry services for horses. During the ’80s, Spade was part of the burgeoning Sunset Strip glam rock explosion, which
included fellow La Jolla High alumni Warren DeMartini and the late Robin Crosby (both of the heavy metal band Ratt). Burned out on the “scene,” Spade wound up in upstate New York grooming horses at a racetrack — a job that led to her current occupation as a veterinarian. Spade said she didn’t consider another serious stab at a music career until she met up with Rodriguez four years ago at WindanSea Beach. “We’re just trying to reach our goal, and slowly getting there,” she said. u

Travel writer Pauline Frommer to speak in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin Pauline Frommer, co-author of the famed Frommer’s travel guides, will discuss trends in travel and unique destinations, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5 at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave. A Q&A session will follow. “One of the biggest clichés in travel writing is the promo ‘things the guidebooks won’t tell you,’ she said in an interview with La Jolla Light to advance her visit. “But we have a lot of pages to fill every year, so we will tell you.” She shared one tip for vacation planners: Watch out for “price creep,” where travel expenses slowly rise higher and higher. Her presentation will include strategies to make sure every dollar goes further, regardless of the budget. One way to save money when traveling is to visit less-traveled vacation spots, of which Frommer will name a few that are worth the trip. She said she often opens her talks — which she will do at Warwick’s — with some photo slides without naming the country where the photos were taken. Once she discloses the country, she said the audience is often shocked.
Pauline Frommer and her father, Arthur, who founded the Frommer’s travel guides Courtesy
“They might think (the photos were taken in) Italy, for example, and when I tell them where it actually is, they are all really surprised,” she said. She also looks into events happening around the world in a given year, and how financial changes might benefit American travelers. “We recommend Berlin this
year because it’s the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, so there’s going to be extraordinary celebrations going on. Plus, hotel and meal costs are some of the cheapest in Europe,” she said. “Our list also includes Bali because the Indonesian rupiah has crashed 30 percent against the dollar. If you go to Bali this year,
you’ll spend 30 percent less than you would have last year,” she said. As of press time, one U.S. dollar is worth 12,195 rupiah. Frommer said she relies on locals and researchers to find destinations, and then the places to go when travelers get there. “Most of our writers live in the city they’re covering, so they tell you the restaurants with a really creative chef, and restaurants you won’t find in any other city. They also tell you the activities that speak to the zeitgeist of what you are going to see,” she said. “Everybody always says about guidebooks that they only send travelers to where tourists go. That’s not what we’re asking our experts to do.” One spot that Frommer said she loves, but doesn’t get to visit enough, is La Jolla. “Years ago, when I was an actor, I was in the touring company of ‘Les Miserables’ and we were in San Diego for a couple of weeks and I fell in love with a man in La Jolla,” she said. “I guess you could say that colors my view of La Jolla.” She recalled walking hand in hand with this man along the
coast and going to the La Jolla Playhouse on her days off. “I guess La Jolla has a glow around it in my mind,” she said, and though now happily married to someone else, she still said she equates La Jolla with “romance and sundappled beaches and everything good in life.” With a good amount of traveling under her belt through the theater, it was a natural transition to start travel writing with her father, Arthur, founder of the Frommer guides. When it came to creating a website (Frommers.com) Frommer became the first editor because she knew more about the Internet than her dad. “I realized I enjoyed editing and writing more than I enjoyed acting,” she said, and continued to contribute to the guides every year. The Frommers publish several guides, including a day-by-day guide with landmarks and mustsee places; 24 walk-able destinations, complete with maps; best destinations for families with children; and the global “500 Places” guide that explores the perks of different destinations. u

La Jolla’s Lindsay Shipp feted as hero of Carlsbad marathon
L
a Jolla-based cystic fibrosis survivor, Lindsay Shipp, excelled during the half marathon portion of this year’s Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon & Half on Jan. 19, as one of the “Heroes of the Marathon.” Though Shipp experienced some pain under her lung that prevented her from sprinting at the end (as she’d planned), she finished at No. 1,161 out of 7,256 female runners, and No. 383 out of 4,303 female runners, ages 30-34. Five years ago Shipp could barely walk up the stairs without having to catch her breath; today she competes regularly as a runner and pursues her passion as a professional singer while holding down two jobs. In 2009, at age 25, her genetic profile allowed her to participate in a three-year clinical trial for the drug, Kalydeco. By early 2010, Shipp’s difficulty breathing

In early 2012, she got on a treadmill for the first time to test her lungs. In September 2012, she ran her first 5K, and medaled in the following three 5Ks she participated in, including the La Jolla Shores 5K. In

May 2013, she ran her first 10K. In August 2013, she ran her first half-marathon in under two hours. The 30-year-old speaks around the country on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to offer hope to children living with cystic fibrosis. u — Pat Sherman

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Jo Anne Glover becomes the perfect 1950s housewife in ‘Maple and Vine’ directed by Igor Goldin. Daren Scott
hose of us past age 20, often hear complaints about the growing dependence on technology and fears that today’s young people will never enjoy the warm, fuzzy feelings many of us had growing up in earlier decades. That’s the theme of Jordan Harrison’s “Maple and Vine,” in its Southern California premiere at Old Town’s Cygnet Theatre through Feb. 16. Plastic surgeon Ryu (Greg Watanabe), and his wife Katha (Jo Anne Glover), are experiencing the loss of a child. Ryu’s schedule doesn’t allow him time to dwell on the incident. However, Katha has plenty of time on her job at a publishing house or home waiting for Ryu. They comfort each other with words of

community, set up as it would be in 1955. All of Ryu’s cautions go unheard; he’ll do anything to save his wife. Soon the couple is following stringent rules, relayed to them by the couple in charge, Dean and Ellen (Amanda Sitton). Ryu gives up his medical career to tape boxes at the box plant. Under the helm of her Donna Reed-clone, Ellen, Katha soon has a spotless 1950s home, experiments with recipes so dinner is on the table when Ryu comes home, and is always dressed up and picture perfect. Katha is exceedingly happy. She’s the perfect housewife, doesn’t have to work, and enjoys things like Charades with the neighbors. Ryu, one the other hand, gets the third degree from his colleague Roger (Mike Nardelli), about being Japanese, and being married to a Caucasian woman. Ryu’s also trying to forget that he makes a few dollars an hour now instead of the high salary he once commanded. Ellen seems perfectly happy, whether encouraging Katha to join the Society

Hungarian pianist Endre Hegedus to perform Feb. 6
From Maple and Vine, B21 of Dynamic Obsolescence (a group that makes rules women have to follow) or wondering where Dean spends a lot of his time in this small community. It’s not long before Ryu catches Dean and Roger together sexually and suddenly 1955 seems as complicated as the decades that follow it. Although the cast creates authentic characters, the plot feels slightly uneven to me; what seemed to be a lighthearted story actually features scenes that are negative concerning racism, sexism and sexual orientation (for which the latter’s physicality could have been played down some). I can’t recommend this play to anyone under age 18, and I noticed quite a few senior patrons were uncomfortable during some scenes. u
Internationally renowned Hungarian pianist Endre Hegedus will perform in a free solo recital, 7 p.m. Feb. 6 at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church Hall, 7669 Girard Ave. in La Jolla. The cost is $20 at the door. A graduate of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Hegedus has participated in 20 international piano competitions and has won several prizes, including first prizes in Monza and at the Rachmaninov Competition in Morcone, both in Italy. He has recorded 27 albums. His 1993 recording containing the complete Bellini-Liszt operatic fantasies received the Franz Liszt International Grand Prix du Disque from the International Liszt Society. Hegedus will perform selections from Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Wagner and others. Father James Rafferty, pastor at Mary, Star of the Sea Church, is hosting the concert. For more information, call (858) 454-2631. u
