Student newspaper project has classmates smiling By Ashley Mackin nspired by an art installation in Los Angeles, students at La Jolla High School recently finished a project aimed at grabbing images of joy and passing the joy to other schools.

to house a motion-activated camera to take photos of students’ random expressions of joy. Hi-Tide student focus editor Mae Goodjohn, co-editors Amanda Menas and Laura Derickson, and business manager Jordan Bowman decided to post the results on the student focus page. It was inspired
by the “Snap Your Joy” project from the organization, Soulpancake, which aims to “develop thoughtprovoking content and creative engagement opportunities that encourage people to explore what it means to be human” through social media. By installing a camera on the street, Soulpancake captured and
showcased images of happiness. The camera went up in late January without explanation, Bowman said, so the images captured could be candid shots. When they had some images, they posted the photos next to the

Village Merchants approve budget and game plan By Pat Sherman Following a cash flow shortage that hampered some of La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) plans for 2013, its current board trustees say they aren’t playing games when it comes to generating income.

camera, and ran the student focus feature. “Once students saw the photos and realized what the camera was for, we got three times the amount of participation,” Bowman said. Students continued to take their joyful pictures while the camera was on campus, which were added to the wall on a regular basis. On Feb. 10, the camera was moved to Muirlands Middle School, where the project will be repeated. Hi-Tide faculty advisor Jim Essex suspects it will have just as much success at Muirlands. “Joy is contagious and a picture truly is worth a thousand words,” he said. “At our school, the project snowballed into something that swept up students, faculty and staff alike. “From a faculty advisor’s perspective, it was quite an experience to watch this project evolve. The planning, production and implementation of the camera was entirely student driven. Vice Principal Will Hawthorne played a strong supporting role in the logistics of the project and the editorial staff of the Hi-Tide newspaper were the driving force.” Bowman said he has been communicating with students at The Bishop’s School who, through word of mouth, heard about the project and would like for it to come to their school next. From there, Hawthorne and the Hi-Tide staff is looking at how to make this a San Diego Unified School District-wide project. “It is these types of positive outlets that create an atmosphere that allows for true learning to take place,” Essex said. “There is a great deal to be learned in the traditional educational setting, but accomplishments like this are the best foundation for our future leaders.” Soulpancake, founded by actor Rainn Wilson (known for his role as Dwight on NBC’s “The Office”) posted a photo of the completed project and a congratulatory note about students’ efforts on the Facebook page – it has 139,000 likes. The only clue Muirlands Middle School students will have to the purpose of the large camera is a note nearby that reads: “Smile, joy is contagious.” u
T
he Bully Busters Club of Muirlands Middle School got a new mural, with some guidance from local artist Jane Wheeler. The mural is meant to serve as a reminder to students to be kind to others and to stand up for those being bullied. Located on the center quad of the Muirlands campus, slogans such as “It’s not cool to be cruel,” “Don’t be rude, change your attitude,” and “Go the extra mile — make someone smile,” are painted within the mural. The painters, all members of the Bully Busters Club, picked the slogans. u — Ashley Mackin

Kayak business owner says offending trucks have been sold n Shores Association to revisit business contract rules and regulations By Ashley Mackin At the La Jolla Shores Association meeting Feb. 12, David Teafatiller, owner of Hike Bike Kayak in La Jolla Shores addressed the controversy surrounding his company’s commercial trucks parked around the Shores — and the solution he found. Discussion included reasons why this became such a talked-about community issue in recent months, and upcoming revisions to regulations for kayak concessionaires and Request for Proposals (RFPs) that affect how these companies operate. Teafatiller told the board that he has sold the two white box trucks at the heart of the problem, and purchased an off-site parking space for the remaining vehicle. He said the offending trucks, vandalized more than once in recent months, were part of the deal when he acquired the business. Several trucks deemed unnecessary were sold right away, but he kept a few box trucks and other transport vehicles. For five years, the trucks were parked remotely near Scripps
La Jolla
Shores
Association
Institute of Oceanography. During that time, Teafatiller said he never heard any complaints about their placement. “Two months ago, they started getting tagged and someone let the air out of the tires,” he said. “At first we thought it was random, but it started happening again and again, so I thought ‘OK someone doesn’t want the trucks here.’ So we brought them down and parked them in the community.” With regard to future issues with vehicles used by business in the community, Teafatiller said, “If you don’t like something I’m doing, come talk to me, we’re not going to be vengeful against you. If you come and talk to me I am going to try to do something about it.” Other water sport operators, such as Surf Diva co-owner Izzy Tihanyi, Everyday California coowner Chris Lynch and La Jolla Kayak co-owner Sharon Luscomb, said they feel the same way and that if anyone in the community
takes issue with their company’s property to talk to them directly. However, Lynch also asked for leniency from the community while construction Project 809 is going on at the end of Avenida de la Playa. During this construction period, the loading area these companies use, aka the boat launch, is unavailable to them, so they have to load and unload equipment at other locations. “We know it is taking a bit longer to load and unload, but once the 809 Project is done and we have access to the boat launch, we won’t have to use those other places (and might be more out of sight),” Lynch said.
Revising business contracts Another solution on the horizon is an updated Request for Proposal (RFP) contract — which all recreation companies must sign in order to conduct business on city property (like the beach) that dictates how the companies can operate. Lynch explained that everything — from how many kayaks are allowed on the beach at any given time to how many people they can have in the ocean at any given time, to what their company’s trucks look like — is outlined in the RFP. Based on recent
Trucks owned by David Teafatiller of Hike Bike Kayak were repeatedly vandalized, and have recently been sold. File community concerns, he expects to see regulations on where commercial trucks may or may not park in the revision. RFP contracts are revised every few years, and the next version is being drafted. In the coming months, kayak vendors will meet with lifeguards to determine what needs to be addressed in the next RFP and offer their recommendations. In signing the RFP, businesses agree to pay 10 percent of their gross revenue, which goes to the city’s general fund, a point of controversy. Tihanyi noted, “As a board, part
of our effort has been to ensure that 10 percent generated from each of these operators goes back to the coastline or to the lifeguards or to pay for a ranger. Now it goes to the (City of San Diego) general fund.” A longtime goal of the Shores Association is to have any funds raised in the Shores return to the community for local improvements. This has not been approved and integrated into the RFP as of yet. u — La Jolla Shores Association meetings take place at 6:30 p.m. second Wednesdays at 8840 Biological Grade. LJSA.org

UTC residents fear trolley line change will lower home values n Proposed parking
garage also at issue
By Pat Sherman Residents of Cape La Jolla Gardens (CLJG) condo complex say the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is on the wrong track with its latest reconfiguration of the San Diego Trolley extension, which will travel through University City to stops at UC San Diego, the VA Medical Center and UTC Westfield mall. A change in the location of tracks as the trolley approaches a stop at La Jolla Village Square (LJVS) shopping center at Nobel Drive would bring the tracks closer to the CLJG complex, increasing noise and diminishing property values, residents say. SANDAG representatives will answer questions about the plans during a public meeting 7 p.m. Thursday, March 13 in the La Jolla Village Square community room (adjacent AMC Theaters), 8657 Via La Jolla Drive. SANDAG staff will address modeling, noise and traffic impacts, and other concerns. In June 2013, SANDAG hosted five community workshops to address project impacts outlined in a draft environmental impact report (DEIR) for the project, including meetings at UC San Diego and La Jolla Country Day School. Several CLJG residents attended one or both meetings. (The period to comment on the DEIR also closed that month). Based on feedback SANDAG received, the
alignment of a trolley bridge across Interstate 5 was shifted 360 degrees south of its original location in the DEIR. This also moved the trolley track from a distance of 284 feet from the northeast corner of the CLJG complex to a distance of about 119 feet from the complex. From there, the track will run north along I-5 to a trolley station at La Jolla Village Square (adjacent California Pizza Kitchen). Michael Krupp, president of the CLJG homeowners association, said the 25-foot high trolley line, as currently proposed, would be at the same height as CLJG’s second story. “You’re talking about a train coming right at the buildings, probably at night, with headlights on,” Krupp said. “People from my (HOA) keep saying it’s going to look like Chicago.” Krupp said he was first notified of the proposed trolley realignment at a meeting with SANDAG representatives on Nov. 13, 2013. Present were SANDAG’s communications manager, David Hicks, and project development program manager, Greg Gastelum. At Krupp’s suggestion, SANDAG presented the changes to CLJG residents at their Jan. 9 HOA meeting — during which Krupp claims SANDAG officials did not provide adequate illustrations or detail about the plan changes. CLJG residents were told the tracks were relocated to avoid placing a single column bridge support in a drainage culvert in the middle of I-5, and due to concerns from representatives of the Mormon temple, on the east side of I-5.

■ Meeting to discuss UTC trolley realignment plans: 7 p.m. Thursday, March 13, La Jolla Village Square community room (adjacent to AMC Theatres), 8657 Via La Jolla Drive ■ Comment on the trolley extension: midcoast@sandag.org or (619) 595-5620 ■ Info on the $1.7 billion Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project (bringing trolley service to UTC): sandag.org/midcoast “(Temple representatives) wanted the bridge far away from their property, just like the west side wants it as far away from their property (as possible), and just like the La Jolla Village Square folks want it to impact their parking as little as possible,” said SANDAG’s director of mobility, Jim Linthicum. During discussions with SANDAG last summer, representatives from the Mormon temple expressed concerns about the bridge blocking views of the temple, Hicks said, noting that two obtrusive straddle bents were replaced with a single column bridge design to allay those concerns. Straddle bents — large, wide concrete beams supported on each end by two columns — are typically used to support bridges over long spans where a single column design conflicts with facilities below. They are often used to avoid placing a single column between highway lanes. Though SANDAG said it conducted a
noise mitigation study for the project which found no significant impacts, Krupp said no sound readings were taken on the west side of I-5 near the CLJG complex. “What they said was simply inaccurate,” he contends. La Jollan Will Cooper, who owns two rental units at CLJG, was one of about 30 CLJG residents and owners who attended SANDAG’s Jan. 9 presentation. Cooper said those in attendance were “less than happy about the lack of detail provided by the SANDAG representatives … (who) did not appear to be well prepared for the meeting and this only added to the frustration of the CLJG residents.” CLJG residents requested a number of remedies, including: moving the tracks back to their original location and determining another way to avoid the drainage culvert; changing the elevated trolley tracks to be sunken into a trench lower than I-5 (to reduce visual, vibration and sound impacts); and running the tracks in the gap between the north and south lanes of I-5 (crossing to the west side of I-5 just before the La Jolla Village Square trolley station).
Parking Garage plans CLJG residents are also unhappy with plans for a three-story parking structure near the trolley station at La Jolla Village Square mall that they say would increase traffic impacts in the highly congested residential enclave, and block a two-lane frontage road

The bell tower restoration is complete and the roof work is nearly done at St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.

Along Coast Boulevard n Job 820, a repair project to bring the existing sewer at La Jolla Cove up to modern standards, replace 1.3 miles of deteriorated sewer main in the Village, and rehabilitate approximately a third mile of collective, existing sewer mains) was completed Feb. 12. During construction, parking was prohibited along parts of Coast Boulevard parallel to Scripps Park, due to the project’s open cut trenching. Next, contractors will work on another segment of Coast Boulevard to rehabilitate several hundred feet of sewer main, which will not require trenching. n The sewer main replacement work will next progress to Ivanhoe Street, between Cave Street and Ivanhoe Street East. Construction hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. “While all efforts will be taken to minimize impacts to the residents and businesses in the community, parking on Coast Boulevard will be impacted during construction hours only to facilitate construction activities,” said Scott Robinson, public information officer for the Department of Public Works. n Streets will be resurfaced when the entire project in the La Jolla area is completed in April 2015. Robinson reported that in applicable areas, temporary “No Parking” signs would be placed 48 hours before construction activities start and towing will be enforced.
In the Shores n Demolition of the former north comfort station (restroom) at Kellogg Park was completed Feb. 13 to make room for the new comfort station, which should be completed this summer. Friends of La Jolla Shores spearheaded the project, which was majority-funded by the John G. Watson Family Foundation.
overlooking La Jolla Cove. Deborah Marengo, vice president of Marengo Morton Architects, explained to U-T San Diego back in October 2012, “We’re in the demo phase right now, building out the shell of the building, and once we secure a user and a concept, the interior may change to go along with their program.” She told La Jolla Light this month there were no additional updates available.
La Jolla Blvd. at Marine Street n The Sewer and Water Group 809 Project and Infrastructure Replacement Project began along Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores Dec. 9. The project includes demolition of the 50-year-old storm drain at the end of Avenida de la Playa and the 1,300 feet of piping leading up to it, and repair of more than 9,000 feet of sewer and water pipes throughout the Shores. The intersection of Avenida de la Playa at Camino del Oro will be closed for at least two-and-a-half months from the start of construction. The project begins at the beach and will work its way east. It is scheduled for completion in April 2014, in accordance with the summer construction moratorium (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Along Avenida de la Playa, some open-cut trenching began Feb. 12, much to the chagrin of local business owners. n The La Jolla Ecological Reserve ASBS, which involves construction of new lowflow diversion systems, is underway. Construction is scheduled to wrap up in December. There are two additional low-flow diversion systems being installed along Torrey Pines Road.
In the Village n St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church’s project to reinforce its bell tower is complete and restoration of the roof is nearing completion. The entire restoration project, which will refurbish the bell tower, roof, exterior and non-stained glass windows, should be finished in July, which John Norris, chair of the building and grounds committee, calls a realistic timeframe. The next step is to sandblast and stucco the exterior of the building. Once the sandblasting and stuccoing is complete, the scaffolding currently surrounding the bell tower will come down, ideally this April. The bulk of the remaining project is refurbishing all of the non-stained glass windows, of which there are about 50. During the sanding of the window frames, special precautions will be taken to ensure minimal sawdust is left in the church.
Top of the Cove n The former restaurant’s home is in the midst of a multi-million dollar demolition and construction project that will turn the space into a 10,000-square-foot dining area with upstairs and downstairs decks
n A 15,000 square-foot mixed-use facility is under construction at 7401 La Jolla Blvd. and contractors hope the project will be completed by summer. The facility will have a basement-level parking garage, commercial ground-floor space and a residential unit on top.
Safety Measures n Fire Station No. 9: Repairs to the roof and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems will soon be complete. The City of San Diego budgeted $347,000 for these improvements. Kitchen and dorm renovations are planned when funds become available. n Crosswalks: In December 2013, to highlight pedestrian use, blinking lights were installed in a crosswalk leading to La Jolla Elementary School across Girard Avenue. The project began in June 2013 and cost $445,000. At the Traffic and Transportation advisory group meeting in January, a similar lighted crosswalk across Pearl Street was suggested to promote safe crossing for school children. n Updated indicator buttons were installed at the lighted crosswalk across Coast Boulevard South leading to Casa De Manana. u

Helping You Plan Your Financial Future
We Listen to What You Don't Say
Some buyers purchase the exact kind of house they said they were looking for, in the neighborhood they preferred. Other buyers surprise us by falling in love with a house that is the complete opposite of what they originally wanted. Realtors listen carefully when buyers describe their needs and preferences. We screen our current inventory of homes to come up with possible matches. Since there is almost always some compromise involved when selecting a home, we may suggest alternatives that might work for buyers. If you prefer a specific neighborhood in the La Jolla area where there are presently no homes in your price range, we may suggest homes in other areas with similar amenities. If you want four bedrooms and one of them will be used for a home office, we may look at three bedrooms with a large family room or open den area that could serve your needs. When you look at houses, remember that your feedback is helpful to us. If we understand what you like or dislike about certain homes, it helps us to locate homes that meet your priorities.

Research report
Satellite data reveals the rapid darkening of the Arctic n Forty-five years after scientists hypothesized that global warming would make Arctic Ocean surfaces darker, Scripps team determines how much the planet’s albedo has diminished From Scripps Institution of Oceanography reports
T
he retreat of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is diminishing Earth’s albedo, or reflectivity, by an amount considerably larger than previously estimated, according to researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. As the sea ice melts, its white reflective surface is replaced by a relatively dark ocean surface. This diminishes the amount of sunlight being reflected back to space, causing the Earth to absorb an increasing amount of solar energy. The Arctic has warmed by 2° C (3.6° F) since the 1970s. The summer minimum Arctic
sea ice extent has decreased by 40 percent during the same time period. These factors have decreased the region’s albedo. Scripps graduate student Kristina Pistone and climate scientists Ian Eisenman and Veerabhadran Ramanathan used satellite measurements to calculate changes in the albedo of the Arctic region associated with the changing sea ice cover. Albedo is measured as a percentage. A perfectly black surface has an albedo of zero percent and a perfectly white surface has an albedo of 100 percent. The albedo of fresh snow is typically between 80 and 90 percent whereas the albedo of the ocean surface is less than 20 percent. Clouds and other factors also influence the albedo of the Earth. The researchers calculated that the albedo of the Arctic region fell from 52 percent to 48 percent between 1979 and 2011.
“It’s fairly intuitive to expect that replacing white, reflective sea ice with a dark ocean surface would increase the amount of solar heating,” said Pistone. “We used actual satellite measurements of both albedo and sea ice in the region to verify this and to quantify how much extra heat the region has absorbed
due to the ice loss. It was quite encouraging to see how well the two datasets — which come from two independent satellite instruments — agreed with each other.” The National Science Foundation-funded study appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 45 years
Rotary scholarships available to La Jolla seniors
A
ttention graduating seniors of La Jolla’s four high schools and parents of those soon-to-be graduates: It’s time to apply for the La Jolla Rotary Scholarship Program. The deadline for applications is April 1. There are two programs available — La Jolla Rotary Scholarships and Florence Riford Scholarships — with applications for both at rotarycluboflajolla.com/scholarships Each year students from La Jolla High
School, The Bishop’s School, The Preuss School and La Jolla Country Day School are awarded more than $140,000 in scholarships to further their education. Scholarships are in the range of $3,000 to $5,000. “Requirements for each category differ just a bit,” La Jolla Rotary President Pat Stouffer said, “and financial need is not always necessary to apply, so we urge all graduating seniors to take a look at our website and get their applications in as soon as possible.” u
after atmospheric scientists Mikhail Budyko and William Sellers hypothesized that the Arctic would amplify global warming as sea ice melted. The Scripps study is the first to use direct satellite measurements to assess the changes in albedo associated with retreating sea ice. Previous studies have relied on computer models. The Scripps team used NASA’s CERES satellite instruments, as well as observations of sea ice cover made with other satellites. The researchers found that the magnitude of surface darkening has been two to three times as large as that found in previous studies. They also compared their results to model simulations to assess the capability of computer models to portray and forecast albedo changes. “Scientists have talked about Arctic melting and albedo decrease for nearly 50 years,” said Ramanathan,

a distinguished professor of climate and atmospheric sciences who has previously conducted similar research on the global dimming effects of aerosols. “This is the first time this darkening effect has been documented on the scale of the entire Arctic.” “Based on our results, the albedo forcing from Arctic sea ice retreat is quite large,” said Eisenman, an assistant professor of climate dynamics. “Averaged over the entire globe, it’s onefourth as large as the direct radiative forcing from CO2 during the same period. This suggests that Arctic sea ice retreat has been an important player in the global warming that we’ve observed during recent decades. Although more work is needed, a possible implication of these results is that the amplifying feedback of Arctic sea ice changes on global warming is larger than previously expected.” u

From Merchants, A1
Budget discussions The LJVMA’s budget for July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 (to be forwarded to the San Diego City Council for approval) includes income of $535,350 and expenses of $531,210 (for a net gain of $4,140). A total of $37,250 is budgeted for four seasonal Haute La Jolla Nights music and shopping events (which were scaled back from six events last year due to lagging sponsor participation). Of that amount, $15,000 is earmarked for musicians’ fees and $10,000 is slated for a December Haute Night that would include a Festival of Trees, where people would compete to decorate holiday trees, menorahs and gingerbread houses, Fortune said. It was noted the LJVMA’s transportation service from the Farmers Open Golf Tournament to the Village lost about $3,000. LJVMA trustee Claudette Berwin
La Jolla Village Merchants Association stressed the need to turn nonincome generating events that the LJVMA partners with, such as the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival and Concours d’Elegance auto show, into events that generate income for the association. “I’m not talking about a lot of money, but rather than negative dollars or zero profit, it would be nice to start getting something, somehow,” Berwin said. Trustees also approved applying for a Small Business Enhancement Program (SBEP) grant from the city, which is typically fixed at around $24,000, and an Economic Development Tourism Support (EDTS) grant to increase tourism and economic development in La Jolla. Though the LJVMA qualifies for around $40,000 in EDTS funding, it will have to obtain a perfect review score to receive the entire amount, Fortune said. “These grants are going to be very, very competitive this year
and they’ve told us you’ve got to do a great job to get this money,” she said.
Employee expenses Total personnel costs in the budget are estimated at $152,000 and include salaries for LJVMA’s full-time executive director ($88,0000 per year) and another full-time and three part-time Information Center staff that make $13.77 an hour. About $74,000 of that amount will come from the BID fund, $50,000 from discretionary funding and $29,000 from grants. The LJVMA will need to find a way to cover all or part of healthcare costs for Fortune and full-time Information Center employee, Kaylie Boden. Trustee Nancy Warwick expressed concern with reimbursing employees for the full cost of health insurance. “I do get some negative feedback when I walk around that too much is going into salaries,” she said. However, trustee James Niebling added, “I believe that if they’re truly valued employees, then health care is what it is. If we need to incorporate it into the budget, so be it.” San Diego’s BID Council advocate, Elizabeth Studebaker,
said the BID Council (which oversees LJVMA and other San Diego’s BID groups) once managed a health-care program for the BID associations and small businesses within the BIDs, though it was unsuccessful and discontinued. Studebaker noted that the city gives the LJVMA $24,000 per year in SBEP grant money from its general fund to help cover BID groups’ staffing needs. “It’s not a lot of money, but the intention is that it offsets some of your other costs so that you can support your professional staff with health insurance,” she said. After some budget maneuvering, which included reducing “miscellaneous office supplies” from $4,000 per year to $2,000 per year, the LJVMA’s part-time, contract bookkeeper, Maryam Kheradbakhs, agreed to stay on, working 15 hours per week at $35 an hour — though her salary is partly contingent upon discretionary income generation.
Pounding the pavement LJVMA trustees are walking the streets to inventory businesses not listed on a city spreadsheet as having obtained a business tax certificate (formerly business license), and thus not paying
s
in discretionary income for the association. That game plan proved successful for Ocean Beach Mainstreet, a group similar to the LJVMA that manages Ocean Beach’s BID fees. Denny Knox, executive director of Ocean Beach Mainstreet, said her organization ordered two batches of 1,000 games last fall, produced by the company, Late for the Sky. The first 1,000 games sold out within four days, she said. It cost between $15 and $22 apiece to produce, and sells for $40 each. LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune said La Jolla’s game would be sold online and in the group’s La Jolla Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. Hoping to replace some of the income-generating events that the LJVMA lost organizational control of in recent years, the board also approved holding its first fundraising golf tourney, tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 16. Fortune estimated the first event would cost around $42,000 to produce, and raise about $50,000. “That’s conservative numbers,” Fortune said of the event, later adding that most tourneys do not
make money until they are branded and have a following. Tickets will cost $250 each; the tourney would accommodate 144 players. Fortune said she would rely on board members to help procure sponsorship and players for the event.

BID fees to support the LJVMA. Those businesses will be forwarded to the City Treasurer’s office, which will send business owners a notice asking them to apply for a certificate and pay BID fees “We’ve got over 1,200 businesses that are on our city roster paying taxes, but I bet you we’ve got at least 500 more that are not,” Fortune said. “That will just be adding gravy on what (income is) going to come in.” LJVMA Board President ClaudeAnthony Marengo said he would beat the drum to assure information is collected and all businesses are paying BID fees “if it takes my whole term.”
Mapping La Jolla Though the LJVMA produced 100,000 foldout maps last year to hand out at the Information Center and other spots across the county, Fortune said the maps were not well received and that people stopping by the Information Center are largely requesting a one-page, photo-copied map. “People don’t want our beautiful map,” she said. “They don’t want to carry it around; they don’t want to open it up.” The LJVMA is looking at alternative map ideas, including
During its February meeting, members of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association approved the group’s fiscal year 2014-2015 budget, and a strategic plan template that includes the association’s first fund-raising golf tournament. Pat Sherman one that would incorporate an image of the Village licensed from Google Earth, and an app that would allow people to drop by the Information Center and print out custom walking routes to Village destinations.
In other LJVMA news n Concours sponsorships: Trustee Berwin said silent auction items are still needed for the annual Concours d’Elegance luxury auto show, April 11-13 in the Village. Organizers also need 12 restaurants — preferably those located within La Jolla’s BID —to participate in a Saturday night VIP party and Sunday VIP brunch (in exchange for advertising space in
the auto show program). For information, e-mail claudette@galleryproperties.com or jackie@jackiehelm.com n New businesses: Trustee Leon Chow of C&H Photo noted that Village Greens catering is scheduled to open in the space at 7441-A Girard Ave., formerly the Ariccia Italian Market (despite a sign in the window of the space once occupied by Cups bakery stating their intention to move into that former Ariccia space). In addition, The Futon Shop’s San Diego showroom has opened at 7470 Girard Ave. The owner is Suzanne Diamond. The custom futon business has 10 locations, most of them in the San
Francisco Bay area. n Sewer/water repairs: Vic Salazar, a spokesperson for the city’s Public Works Department, said the ongoing sewer and water main replacement job in the Village includes replacing asphalt and putting a quarter-inch slurry seal pavement protection layer on the street once work is complete. Project foreman Brian Wilson, with TC Construction, said the section of Coast Boulevard just completed was in “really bad shape.” “For me, it’s a great deal to come in and replace streets, but the problem with these jobs is they don’t allocate money for resurfacing,” he said. Salazar said work along Prospect
Place as it dips down to Coast Boulevard past the Cave Store will require closing one lane of traffic, trenching as deep as 27 feet to access sewer lines. Wilson said this phase would likely begin after the summer construction moratorium. The city is trying to determine how people will access parking and businesses such as Goldfish Café and Brockton Villa along Coast Boulevard during construction, which could mean reversing the otherwise one-way traffic flow at the bottom of Coast Boulevard and creating a turnaround. “It’s going to be a major operation,” Wilson said. “Probably what I’m going to have to do is put a guy there with a flag.” u

Planners approve former Copley property development, with stipulations La Jolla Community Planning Association By Pat Sherman During its Feb. 6 meeting, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted that findings could be made to approve permits for The Reserve development at 6850 Country Club Drive. The 25-acre site adjacent the late David Copley’s Fox Hill estate is the final asset of the Copley publishing dynasty. It will be subdivided into two parcels, each to be sold and developed as estate homes (accompanied by strict design guidelines). The majority of the property will be set aside as open space, which the new property owners will be responsible for maintaining, and liable for. Though the project received unanimous approval by the Development Permit Review (DPR) committee in December, Kevin Johnson, an attorney representing three families in the La Jolla
Summit development (overlooking The Reserve) requested the item be pulled from the LJCPA’s consent agenda in January. After hearing a full presentation on the project by Alcorn & Benton Architects, LJCPA trustees approved the project with the stipulation that the city first conduct an environmental impact report, and that a substantial conformance review (SCR) be conducted for each of the estate homes’ plans. An SCR is conducted to determine if a proposed project is consistent and in conformance with a previously approved permit, including a review of the project against previously approved exhibits, permit conditions, environmental documents and applicable land use policies. LJCPA trustee and DPR member Phil Merten said an SCR “puts everything on the table for discussion,” as if the applicant were applying for a coastal development permit. Even if the project receives only a mitigated negative declaration, instead of a full environmental impact report, Merten said it would still require review by the LJCPA. Johnson argued that the site was

Alcorn & Benton Architects not suitable for development because of its environmentally sensitive condition, and would box in a canyon and vegetation. He urged LJCPA trustees to consider alternate locations in The Reserve for the proposed estates, as well as further limiting the height and number of trees allowed. “This is a high fire area, and this needs to be taken into consideration in terms of what is up there after the buildings are built,” he said. “It’s a sensitive parcel, and it’s something that needs to be very carefully factored into and studied.” Project representative Greg
Shannon said project representatives met with the fire marshal to address those concerns. Though architectural plans will not be produced until after the parcels are purchased, Shannon assured trustees that the buyers’ plans are required to go through the community review process. Shannon said solar panels would be allowed in some areas, but had to be low-lying and not sticking up off structures.

$3.8 million Shores lifeguard tower faces remodel La Jolla
Shores
Association
By Ashley Mackin At the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) monthly meeting Feb. 12, lifeguard Ben Lewis updated the board on measures being taken to improve visibility at the new Shores lifeguard tower, which, during certain times of day, has distorted views that complicate the jobs of lifeguards stationed there. These plans include a redesign and partial rebuild of the $3.8 million tower. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, San Diego Lifeguard Union spokesperson Ed Harris said at several times of the day the views from the upper observation booth are obscured by light distortion, diffraction, refraction, glare and reflection. At the LJSA meeting, Lewis added that because images bounce off the panes of glass in the observation booth, it creates “ghost images” — people appearing to be on one end of the beach when they are actually at another. “We have to do a doubletake sometimes to determine what is real and what is not,” he said. Further, when the sun sets due west and further and further south (which it does during the winter months), it creates a “blinding” glare off the ocean, which comes straight at the windows. The windows, in turn, bounce that glare off the other windows, whereas at other towers the angles of the windows bounce any glare onto the ceiling. Lewis said that because the tower opened during summer, lifeguards could not see nor predict view issues that would arise during the winter months and the change in sunset location at that time. As a temporary solution, lifeguards spend approximately four hours a day at Tower 32 with
The ghost image of people and white spots (circled in red), as well as the sun’s glare (both from the south side of the beach), are projected onto the northernmost glass of La Jolla Shores’ new lifeguard tower in late afternoon. Lifeguards say this effect makes it difficult to accurately assess the situation in the water. Photos by Pat Sherman a similar vantage point, when the glare and distortion are at their worst. In the meantime, a remodel is in development for the upper observation booth that would change the glass and its angles, and rebuild the upper booth to accommodate the new angles. A typical lifeguard tower is built in a hexagonal shape with five panes of glass that meet at about a 15-degree angle that minimizes glare and distortion, Lewis said. The Shores tower has three panes of glass that meet at 90 degrees each, which, in addition to the quality of the glass used, is a likely cause of the problem. Greg Parkington, a representative for District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner, explained at the meeting that Lightner met with the City Attorney’s office and the department of public works regarding the issue. “Our office subcontracted an optics engineer independent of the designer of the original tower to study that glass in a quick timeframe to ensure whatever solution is implemented is the right solution and we’re not just tearing things down,” he said, adding that they hope to have a solution implemented by the summer. The City Attorney is
From Trolley line, A5 they use to access CLJG. “SANDAG said that they had done detailed vehicle traffic analysis on the need for this additional parking structure … but they were not able to provide any of this information at the meeting,” Cooper said. Hicks told La Jolla Light via e-mail that the garage design presented in the DEIR was changed from a 1.4-acre structure of four stories to a two-acre, three-story structure that meets local height restrictions.

n North comfort station cost goes up: Mary Coakley-Munk, president of the Friends of La Jolla Shores nonprofit group spearheading the new station, suffered a blow when an extra $70,000 was added to construction costs. “On Jan. 6 we had a wonderful ground-breaking ceremony on the north comfort station,” CoakleyMunk said. “And then on Jan. 7, I got a call from (the Department of) Park and Rec saying the City Attorney decided we needed a coastal development permit and a site development permit, and that there would have to be prevailing wage because the right of entry was not signed by the first of January, and the laws changed (Jan. 1, 2014).” However, with much help from Park and Rec, it was later determined the two permits were not required. However, the Friends can not avoid paying prevailing wage, which means an additional $70,000 will be due as the project nears completion. “I am certainly not going to go back to the (John G. Watson Foundation) family that donated
The three-story structure will cost about $24.3 million and include 800 spaces, of which 260 are reserved for trolley riders and 540 are needed to replace spaces lost in the La Jolla Village Square parking lot (on which the structure would be situated). Hicks said SANDAG officials have met with LJVS representatives and that negotiations are ongoing to determine if some existing mall spaces could be used for transit, to reduce the number required for the parking structure. To date, Linthicum said the LJVS owners have indicated that
half a million dollars, and ask them for more, so we’ll need to raise some money,” she said. “So any help along those lines would be greatly appreciated.” Because the extra costs are not due until the end of project, construction on the new facility will begin shortly and CoakleyMunk is confident the money will be raised by the time it is due. “We are moving forward, full-steam ahead and on schedule,” she later told La Jolla Light. The former facility was torn down Feb. 13 and the new facility is expected to be complete this summer. n Unexpected work on Avenida de la Playa: Izzy Tihanyi, co-owner of Surf Diva in La Jolla Shores, reported that much to her surprise, construction work had begun on Avenida de la Playa that involved cutting into the concrete, and that none of the affected business owners she spoke with were notified. Unsure if the work is related to Job 809 — which involves replacing the 50-year-old storm drain at the end of Avenida de la Playa, and 1,300 feet of piping leading up to it, and repairing more than 9,000 feet of sewer and water pipes throughout the Shores — she voiced concern that
they need all their existing spaces. “If we could buy existing spaces from them at a reasonable price, we would,” he said. “They say there’s certain times of the year when we need every one of those spaces — we can’t give up any. Therefore, the price per space that we would pay from them is exorbitant. It would probably be cheaper for the taxpayer to build a garage there.” Cooper said the parking garage will block an existing, two-lane mall access road parallel to I-5, increase traffic between the mall and Nobel Drive and impact views.
contractors for Job 809 had assured the street would not be subject to concrete cutting and/or trenching. “We asked them point blank if the (trenching) would include Avenida de la Playa and we were told it wasn’t going to. It was never part of the deal,” she said. Voicing similar concerns, Christian Malecot, owner of Voulez-Vous Bistro, said all his customers had to sit inside due to construction noise one day, which he called “unbearable.” He recalled hearing a presentation about the project and noting that Avenida de la Playa was on the project map, but it was never stated to what extent. “Contractors never verbally said it was going to be under construction,” he said. “… It feels like they pulled a fast one on us.” Parkington assured he would find out the nature of the work, if it is related to Job 809, how long the work would take place, and why business owners were not notified. n Upcoming election: The LJSA will have its annual election during the next meeting. There are eight open seats, but several board members intend to run for reelection. The meeting, will be 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 12 at 8840 Biological Grade. u
Residents have suggested situating the garage underground and/or modifying its design to preserve the two-lane access road (perhaps situating the tracks and trolley station above the access road). Linthicum said the project is still in the “preliminary engineering” phase and that there is still time to make design changes. SANDAG is still negotiating with stakeholders on the east (Mormon temple) and west side of I-5 (La Jolla Village Square and CLJG), as well as CalTrans, which manages the I-5, he said. u

Take Lessons: The place where learning never stops By Marti Gacioch At takelessons.com, learning never stops. “We really support lifelong learning,” said CEO Alan Cole. “We wanted to create a place where students of every age can come and find great teachers in almost any category.” While Take Lessons tutors children, only half of its students are younger than age 18; their oldest student is 90. Steven Cox, an underemployed bass guitarist, founded Take Lessons in San Diego in 2006 to supplement his income. Cox, who has a strong background in both music and business, initially focused only on offering music lessons. He hired a fellow musician to be his first full-time instructor and then built a roster of other music teachers who offered lessons for every imaginable instrument. Take Lessons next expanded its class list to include dancing and acting sessions. More recently, it began offering academic classes, including math and science,
history, languages, writing and art. “We’ve just included teaching robotics, and soon we’re launching into hobbies, like painting and woodworking and sports and fitness,” Cole said. Prospective instructors undergo a full background check before being hired. As instructors, they are also rated and reviewed, and if a student isn’t satisfied with an instructor, he or she will always receive a full money-back guarantee. Based in San Diego, Take Lessons has hundreds of teachers available. In addition, the company offers instruction nationwide in 4,000 cities. “While in-person lessons work very well and are the most popular form of learning something new, almost every category of instruction can be taught online through Skype, so we can provide lessons to anybody in the world,” Cole said. Take Lessons serves as a marketplace where prospective instructors in almost any field have the opportunity to offer their

am writing about the sidewalk on Torrey Pines Road between Princess Street and Prospect Street. It takes about five minutes to walk that little stretch. I know, because I do it all the time. Since the traffic is heavy, and still way too fast at times, cars often stray across the double white lines. Furthermore, many bicyclists also use the sidewalk. There are two light poles smack in the middle of the sidewalk, which makes it really hard for people with baby buggies — and impossible for people in wheelchairs — to get by. Walking to town, we used to enjoy wonderful views of the ocean. There was a small street, I think it was called Charlotte Street, across from Torrey Lane. It has disappeared behind a fence covered with dirty ivy, usurped by the two adjacent houses, I guess. The city should really reopen

The La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club is a nonprofit service organization with the motto “Service Above Self.” The club meets 7 a.m. Thursdays at the La Jolla Shores Hotel. Our next guest will be Ken Gosselin, a Harvard Law School trained San Diego County Superior Court Judge Pro Tem, appointed nearly a decade ago by the judges of the San Diego Superior Court to be a “temporary judge” in thousands of criminal, civil and juvenile court cases.

Moving to independency Park plans for Coast Blvd. not as prudent as some say will be revealed Feb. 25 Melinda Merryweather’s Feb. 13 letter attempting to compare La Jolla with Brookhaven, Ga., closes with the statement that La Jolla can do what the City of San Diego can’t, referring to “potholes” and “crumbling sidewalks.” It is very interesting that Pat Sherman’s front-page article on La Jolla infrastructure woes lists 16 “priority” infrastructure projects, of which six are sidewalk projects. Where would the money for these projects come from if La Jolla becomes an independent city? Public works and infrastructure projects are a lot more expensive than the general public usually realizes. Mr. Sherman’s article states that one project, Torrey Pines Road Corridor improvements, is estimated to cost $25 million! I believe that before anyone can have a meaningful opinion on whether or not La Jolla should become an independent city, we need to see accurate, complete and valid financial data. It makes no sense to me to become independent if that city just goes bankrupt in short order. The cost side of any budget model will have to be thoroughly scrutinized to make sure that it is not underestimated. There are many additional cost items facing a city than just the potholes and sidewalks to which Ms. Merryweather refers. Dale S. Duffala Bird Rock
I noticed on the list of La Jolla’s Infrastructure priorities in the Feb. 13 issue that Priority No. 3, South Coast Boulevard Park, was inadvertently left off. As it turns out, The La Jolla Conservancy has been working on a plan for this area (available at whaleviewpoint.org), and will be presenting the plan at the next meeting of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, which is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25 at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. Eric Korevaar Secretary, La Jolla Conservancy
Restoring Princess St. path would be great perk When I was growing up in the Hillside Drive neighborhood in the 1950s, Princess Street was the closest beach access to our house. My father used to take us kids and the family boxer dog down the hill to walk on the beach there. As we got older, there was a kid in the neighborhood whose father was a scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and who had saltwater aquariums. We used to go with him to the Princess Street tide pools to explore the marine life. (He later became curator at the

Scripps Institution aquarium.) As we grew into the 1960s, Princess Street was one of the local surfing spots. That surf break was known as “Slides” (after the slippery “Devil’s Slide” access to the beach at the bridge on Coast Walk). It was a regular stop on our itinerary as we cruised to “check out the surf.” We would climb down and later back up that rough trail with nearly-numb bare feet, lugging old longboards. As we grew further into our teens, well, that rocky beach wasn’t exactly the kind of place where one could interact with the opposite sex sitting in beach chairs on the sand, so we moved on to places like WindanSea. But I do certainly applaud efforts to re-establish beach access at Princess Street. It’s part of our history and heritage. u John Welsh La Jolla

that to the public again, if only for the view. Closer to Prospect, a lot of growth makes it often impossible to use more than half the already too narrow sidewalk. I know some five or six years ago, plans were presented to the city for improvement of this sidewalk. So far, nothing has been done. I have seen people fall off their bicycles. Walking, one has to keep one’s eyes focused on the sidewalk in order not to stumble over the many uneven places. In one spot, a sidewalk garden has been sprouting due to a leak near a water meter. Moving the light poles, fixing the holes and adding some 3 feet to the heavily used sidewalk would make all the difference. It is some of the polishing that this so called Jewel, part of “America’s Finest City,” desperately needs! u Johanna Thompson La Jolla n Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads on Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

Bill passed away at home on January 29, 2014. Born in South Dakota, he moved to San Diego with his family at age 12. He practiced law in La Jolla for 60 years. An honorable man of strong character and integrity, he was known to his good friends as “Max.” He loved the beach and was a lifeguard in his youth, as well as a low handicap golfer. Bill was President of La Jolla Country Club at age 33. He was also a big baseball and thoroughbred horse racing fan. Bill is survived by his wife,
1925 – 2014
Patrick Joseph Haggerty Jr., beloved father, husband, and grandfather, passed into Paradise on February 6, 2014, from natural causes related to advanced age. He had recently celebrated his 89th birthday. Patrick (known by his friends as “Pat”) was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and grew up in nearby South Hadley. Although an only child, his parents fostered another boy, Carl Richards, whom he considered to be his brother. At an early age, Pat was taken under the wing of Dr. Mary E. Woolley, the first female President of Mount Holyoke College. Dr.
Woolley instilled in him the importance of higher education and making a difference in the lives of others. Matriculating at the College of William and Mary in 1941, Pat’s studies were interrupted by World War II. He rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant in the United States Army Air Corp, the precursor of the Air Force. After serving in England, France, Belgium, and Germany, he returned home at the war’s end in 1945. Pat resumed his studies and graduated from William and Mary in 1949, where he was a star football player. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins, which he declined in order to advance his education. He pursued graduate studies at Springfield College in Massachusetts and entered the Federal Bureau of Investigation, assigned to the Espionage Squad in San Francisco during the Cold War years of the 1950s. Pat learned the Chinese dialects of Mandarin and Cantonese, enabling him to translate spy-related information. He became a familiar figure in the Chinatown district of San Francisco from 1952 to 1965. Eventually, he opened the resident agency of the F.B.I. in Santa Cruz. During his extraordinary career, Pat was awarded countless commendations from F.B.I. Directors J. Edgar Hoover, L. Patrick Gray and Clarence M. Kelley for his vital role in the security of the United States. The heart of Pat’s life, however, was his family. In 1952, he married the love of his life, Dottie Mae Fallgren Haggerty, at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in
La Jolla. She predeceased him. Pat is survived by his elder son, Dr. Patrick J. “Rick” Haggerty III and his wife, Rosie; his younger son, Dr. Colin M. Haggerty and his wife, Cathleen; and his daughter, Dr. Holly Haggerty Sokolowski and her husband, Dr. Bernd Sokolowski. Pat also is survived by his beloved grandchildren, Patrick Haggerty IV, Kelly Haggerty, Sophia Sokolowski, Colin Haggerty Jr., Kyle Haggerty, Cameron Haggerty and Mary Haggerty. Pat personified loyalty, fidelity and honor, and his extraordinary character and influence have truly made this world a better place. The Haggerty/Sokolowski Family would like to acknowledge the wonderful care shown to Pat by the staff at Sunrise of La Jolla and the nurses and doctors of Scripps Hospice. A Mass of the Resurrection and Memorial Service celebrating Pat’s life on earth and the continuing journey of his soul in Heaven will take place on Friday, February 28, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla, California. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Patrick to the Challenged Athletes Foundation “Operation Rebound,” which directly benefits disabled military personnel and first responders. Checks can be made out to “CAF Operation Rebound,” 9591 Waples Street, San Diego, CA 92121. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

BOYS SOCCER: La Jolla High School Vikings 3, Christian High School Patriots 0
La Jolla High shuts out Christian High School, 3-0 La Jolla High Vikings back Bryan Fierro (20) and midfielder Blake Shores (22) watch the flight of the ball in their 3-0 victory against Christian High Feb. 13. Ed Piper
By Ed Piper he vibe around the La Jolla High School Vikings boys soccer program this season is positive, and all parties involved seem to be happy with the stabilization of the coaching situation with Joshua Conner nearing the end of his first year at the helm, and the progress of the program under his direction. Reflecting this stability and progress, the Vikings dispatched the visiting Christian High School Patriots (from El Cajon) handily, 3-0, in a non-league encounter Feb. 13. Jose Chayet and George West scored goals in the first half, while Edgar Salamanca added a third in the second half. La Jolla is now 5-7-4 overall, 1-3-2 in the Western League. Defensive back James Penner, whom Conner says has been the most consistent player this season, said: “We were trying different formations. We practiced playing balls over the top (versus passes on the ground). We were trying different things to prepare
T
for the Cathedral game (Feb. 19).” La Jolla started a heavily seniorladen lineup in honor of their last home game at Edwards Stadium. Eric Artenstein had a nifty save in goal in the 25th minute. He made another good save in the 27th minute, diving in front of the right post, narrowly preventing the ball from sneaking in the corner of the goal as he sprawled to make the save. The Vikings’ four captains are all seniors: Accord Mendoza, Salamanca, Chayet and Artenstein. Chayet, starting as left midfielder, opened up scoring dribbling up from the right side and shooting across into the left half of the net in the 12th minute. West, whom Conner inserted with several others in the 19th minute, followed with his goal in the 26th minute. Virtually the entire roster saw ample minutes of playing time as the coach substituted freely. He seems to have a good rapport with his players. Commented Mendoza: “We started
to play together as a team this year, and I guess we’re getting somewhere now. I try to (get us to) be together, because it’s not 1 vs. 11, it’s 11 vs. 11. I play every position except goalie.” Highlights during this rebuilding season for La Jolla have been a tie with league-leader St. Augustine High School, 1-1, which they felt they could have won, and a 0-0 draw versus Point Loma High. The Vikings added a win over rival University City High 2-1. “The team is improving, and the program is starting to have all its needs met,” Conner said. “So we’re just trying to finish off the season strong. Everyone on the team has pulled together. Leadership from the seniors: Accord Mendoza and Edgar Salamanca. Those are probably the key seniors.” Said Artenstein, a senior, prior to the game: “We look to play a strong defense and possess the ball on offense and connect with teammates to create opportunities in the box.” La Jolla succeeded in this game plan. Conner pointed out he also coaches a local club team, so that only reinforces his statement that he is staying around. Each of those factors can only make La Jolla stronger. In the past three years, multiple coaching changes made it difficult for the Vikings to learn one system and move forward. “This season was definitely a rebuilding year,” Penner said. “We’ve had a pretty good record, better than we’ve had before. Definitely, we’re looking forward to next year. JVs have had a really strong year, and we’re looking to bring in a lot of good players. There have been a lot of very strong juniors on this team, so we’ll have a really strong team next year. “I’ve played a lot of defense — also a little bit of offense, so I got some time there. Overall (I’ve been working) to improve distributing the ball and winning the ball in the air.” n Up Next: Following their game versus at Cathedral Catholic High, Feb. 19, La Jolla travels to Point Loma Feb. 21, to close out the regular season. Both matches start at 3 p.m. n Starting Line-Up: Coach Conner started several seniors in their last regular season home game. Those listed in the starting line-up are not all seniors. Goalkeeper: Artenstein. Back: Cameron Bijan, Carlos Duran, Juan Armando Garcia, Bryan Fierro. Midfield: Raul Sanchez, Blake Shores, Jesus Ochoa, Chayet. Forward: Mendoza, Salamanca u

Girls Basketball: La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 52, Horizon Christian Academy Panthers 50
Country Day holds on to defeat a reinvigorated Horizon, 52-50 By Ed Piper a Jolla Country Day School built a nine-point lead with two-and-a-half minutes left in the game, then hung on to beat the Horizon Christian Academy Panthers on Valentine’s Day, 5250, to stay within one game of The Bishop’s School in the Coastal League and set up a return matchup with Bishop’s Knights Feb. 21. LJCD is ranked No. 6 in CIF, Bishop’s No. 1. “We just had a few mistakes, but we got back in it. It was just mental (mistakes). We bounced back quickly,” said sophomore guard Mariana Ecija, who is a vital cog in LJCD coach Terri Bamford’s defense. Horizon, whom the Torreys beat by 25 points in their previous encounter, brought a ferocious attack on their home court, reinvigorated by the return of DiJonai Carrington and Janae Omusi from injuries. But Country Day (now 4-1 in league, 16-9 overall), on the back of their three-quarter-court pressure and persistent pounding of the boards, managed to move out to two eight-point leads in the third quarter.
L
Six-foot forward Sabrina Callahan was physical and relentless on the offensive boards for the Torreys, and Mai-loni Henson attacked the outside and inside as the Torreys jumped out to a small lead from the beginning. Callahan scored eight points in the opening quarter, Henson six. Callahan averages 13.6 points per game, Henson 14.8. In the nail-biter of a fourth quarter, junior Cydney Collins hit the 3-point bomb that put LJCD up 51-42. But then she committed a foul at the other end that put Panther Taylor Pearson on the line to make two free throws and start Horizon’s climb back into striking distance with under three minutes to play. At 1:42, Horizon called a time out. A set inbound play led to two free throws, the Torrey lead now only 51-46. Carrington made a driving layup under intense pressure to make it 51-48. After LJCD nemesis Sarah Porter scored off a turnover forced by the defense for 51-50, Callahan was fouled on an awkward backhanded layup attempt from the left side of the basket. She made the second of two free

throws to put the Torreys up by two, 52-50. Guard Isabel Aguirre was fouled with 21 seconds left. She couldn’t convert the front end of a oneand-one. Ditto for Henson with four seconds left. But LJCD held on to win despite a Horizon layup attempt with time running out. Said Ecija of the three-quartercourt pressure Country Day
applied most of the game: “We just have to keep our heads in it, and then it will be good.” Said Aguirre, who averages 1.7 steals per game, of her role: “I try to get a lot of steals and get out there and pressure the ball.” Before the game, coach Bamford, surveying the season with a week before playoffs in the Open Division, commented: “We’re 15-9 and we’re getting better and better.
We’ve beaten some ranked teams.” Henson pulled down a whopping 20 rebounds, Callahan 18. u n Scoring: La Jolla Country Day School: Henson 18, Callahan 15, Aguirre 5, Ecija 5, Collins 3, Muhammad 3, Johnson 2 Horizon Christian Academy: Ganan 15, Porter 13, Carrington 9, Omusi 5, Pearson 3, Doran 3, Evans 2

ohn C. Carson was born in Wichita, Kansas, the youngest of six. He attended Taft boarding school in western Connecticut, which he credits for instilling in him the joy of learning. Carson joined the US Army in 1945, serving as a technician in the 4th Army Area Medical Laboratory at Fort Sam Houston. Entering Yale in 1947, he graduated with an English degree in 1950. It was at Yale that Carson met his future wife, Elizabeth Hill, of Des Moines, Iowa. They married in 1954 and had five children, a family which now includes 19 Dr. John Carson grandchildren.

Today By Ashley Mackin n modern society, why talk when you can text? Why explain in person when you can e-mail? Not surprisingly, public speaking is listed as the No. 1 fear in the country. But it needn’t be, insist members of Toastmasters La Jolla. Aimed at improving the lost art of in-person communication, Toastmasters La Jolla is an organization with meetings that provide opportunities for public speaking in a supportive environment. “While social media is great for global outreach, it can create a disconnect because people rely on it so heavily that they don’t have those relationships that are built in person,” said Melanie Klinghoffer, a Toastmasters La Jolla member. “Social media diminishes people’s ability to

misunderstanding, which you get when talking to someone in person.” Toastmasters’ weekly meetings are divided into segments that each serve to improve a specific communication skill. There are different roles members can sign up for to help the meetings run smoothly, and each task requires some speaking. There is a Timer, who monitors how long people speak and later reports who stayed within the time constraint. There is a Grammarian, who tracks each speaker’s “ums” and “uhs,” not in a critical sense, but to help speakers become aware of how often they use the interjections. There are also Main Speakers, who write a speech in advance and present it to the group.

Let Inga Tell You
When science is fiction
B
oth my husband and I enjoy reading science fiction although Olof’s preferred focus is outer space while mine involves beauty and weight loss articles in women’s magazines, which are especially bountiful this time of year. I love this stuff. The sheer creativity! The total illogic! The charming lunacy! All of the advice in these magazines is, of course, attributed vaguely to “science,” “research,” or “experts.” After culling dozens of health and beauty “tips” from the January glossies, here are some of my favorites:
La Jolla Cultural Partners
n Bring the beach home. Ocean air is pumped with negative ions, which may amp up blood oxygenation leaving you calmer and happier. Create instant ocean air by investing in an ionic purifier and running it for 90 minutes before you wake up. As someone who has lived 262 steps from the Pacific Ocean for decades, I can only imagine what a crabby nut job I’d be if I hadn’t been sucking up ions all this time. In fact, why aren’t all La Jollans, cocooned in ionic bliss as we are, deliriously happy? Are those scheming pinnipeds and crafty cormorants
siphoning it all off before it gets to us? With every negative ion in me, I believe this needs to be investigated. n Exercise tip: Making photocopies at work? Do squats in front of the machine. I am so trying to imagine this at my former workplace, which was 90 percent male and where the photocopier was in the main hallway. I’m not sure, but I think H.R. had a specific policy about flashing co-workers. n We recommend Sephora’s compact with 16 eye shadows made with antioxidant-packed cocoa. So, are you supposed to eat them? n Write yourself a peppy note. Nurture your inner optimist by scribbling a sentence or two about your favorite moment (or hour) of the week on a kitchen chalkboard e.g. “Girls night out + doubled over with laughter + lobster mac n’ cheese = a memorable dinner! Must do it again soon!” When you choose to replay happy memories on a regular basis you adopt a more positive perspective on your whole life. OK, so how are the kids going to feel when they pass by the chalkboard where
n Eat garbanzo beans to fight gray hair. These beans, also known as chickpeas, provide tons of protein along with the trace mineral manganese. It’s known to prevent changing pigmentation, aka gray hair! So how many truckloads would you have to eat per day to fire your colorist? Maybe stop by CVS and pick up some manganese instead? n Eat cilantro to prevent hair loss: It works as a purifying agent to rid the body of toxic metals, which can stop nutrients from getting to your scalp, resulting in hair loss. Why isn’t every guy in America downing cilantro shakes? n Eat lentils for hair growth. They’re an ideal source of iron, which is so important for full, lustrous locks! This is especially key if you have thin hair. Maybe that should be a cilantro-lentil shake? n A good excuse to eat chocolate: People who do so have less belly fat. Researchers think antioxidant-rich dark chocolate may curb cortisol, a hormone that triggers abs flab. Snack on two squares a day. Can I decide how big the squares are? n Train your fat. Workouts don’t just help you ditch extra weight — they can also teach
your fat to behave better. … Studies suggest that 12 weeks of vigorous aerobic exercise can make a type of white fat — the kind under your skin that you can pinch — act more like healthier brown fat. The difference? Brown fat doesn’t just sit still: It burns energy to produce heat, which results in better blood sugar control and a healthier body composition. I predict the next diet craze will be “What Color Is My Fat?” You read it here. But I’m not an unreasonable person. I’m willing to cut “science” and “research” and “experts” a lot of slack if they happen to conclude something in my best interests. The December-January AARP magazine, for example, reported that drinking two cups of hot cocoa a day for 30 days significantly improved (yes, they did say significantly) memory in older adults. Cocoa “boosted blood flow to the brain, particularly in those whose flow was impaired.” I would definitely put myself in the impaired flow category, so do I get to drink three? And if I wanted to make a late bid for Mensa, 10? It didn’t say what this did to the waistline of the memory impaired, but what’s the point of being svelte if you’re senile? So my plan for 2014 is to sit in my negative-ion-rich front yard chugging cocoa, eating eye shadow, and penning peppy notes. Just so we’re clear, I am strictly doing this in the name of science. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

World’s Tiniest Sundae
Poway’s Hamburger Factory is a family affair By Kelley Carlson ith an array of knickknacks on display and a bountiful menu, the Hamburger Factory offers a feast for the eyes (and stomach). Located in Old Poway Park, the Wild West-themed restaurant is a favored stop for diners of all ages. “Our customers are our Hamburger Factory family,” said Cyndy Casse, who has been running the eatery with her husband, Dave, and her parents, Phil and Cleton Spear, since 1998. “We see the same faces, some of them twice a day, some every day at breakfast.” Customers — especially children — are entertained by the eclectic mishmash of collectibles on the walls, from large plush bears and mounted animal heads to classic signage and random cooking utensils — perfect for a game of “I Spy.” And a number of patrons appreciate the train decor of the main patio, a nod to the narrow gauge Poway-Midland Railroad that encircles the park. But naturally, it’s the hamburgers that are really the center of attention here, which are constantly lauded by locals in readers’ polls. There are nearly 15 topping combinations for half- and quarter-pound patties, such as the Gringo with melted cheddar, avocado, lettuce and tomato slices, stacked on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Additional “experiments” — as described by Casse — have included the Pizza Burger and Chipotle Chorizo Burger.

For lunch and dinner, guests may start their meals with an appetizer such as the Not-So-French Fries, a pile of deep-fried potatoes smothered in nacho cheese, jalapeños, bacon and sour cream. Along with burgers, people can turn to entrees such as chicken and fish baskets, and sandwiches that encompass everything from classics such as Grilled Cheese and
French Dip, to the Tuna Meltdown and the California Chicken Sandwich (avocado, cheddar, bacon, grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato on a roll). For a more sophisticated dish, options include the Cedar Plank Salmon with Tuscany vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes, and Maple Bourbon Sirloin Tips. Desserts include milkshakes, Fruit Cobbler, the decadent Chocolate Stampede cake, and the World’s Tiniest Sundae — a small scoop of vanilla ice cream with fudge in a condiment-sized cup, topped with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and a cherry.

■ 1. Know your material. Pick a topic you are interested in. Know more about it than you include in your speech. Use humor, personal stories and conversational language — that way you won’t easily forget what to say. ■ 2. Practice. Practice. Practice! Rehearse out loud with all the equipment you plan on using. Revise as necessary. Work to control filler words; Practice, pause and breathe. Practice with a timer and allow time for the unexpected.
■ 6. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear and confident. Visualize the audience clapping – it will boost your confidence. ■ 7. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They’re rooting for you.

Toastmasters Talking Tips
■ 3. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience members as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to strangers.
■ 4. Know the room. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids. ■ 5. Relax. Begin by addressing the audience. It buys you time and calms your nerves. Pause, smile and count to three before saying anything. Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.
■ 8. Don’t apologize for any nervousness or problem — the audience probably never noticed it.
■ 9. Concentrate on the message — not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience. ■ 10. Gain experience. Mainly, your speech should represent you — as an authority and as a person. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need in a safe and friendly environment. u
At a recent meeting of some 25 attendees, the main speaker was local sculptor Mark Adams, who gave his first main speech that evening. “Over the last few years, my career has taken off and I found myself in front of a lot of people to be interviewed. I realized my speaking skills were not great and I had a lot of nervous energy,” he said. “One of the things that helped me improve on that was getting feedback at these meetings. I never get feedback when I’m in front of people. Here you have people who see things that I don’t see. One comment was that when I talk, I look down when I think, which I had no idea I did.” Though he still gets nervous from time to time, Adams said he can now control it, and he felt good going into his Toastmasters speech. “Everybody here is extremely supportive, it’s almost like a sports team. You don’t feel awkward

Questions at one meeting included, “What is the nicest thing you’ve ever done for someone else?” and “If you could live anywhere for two years, where would it be and why?” The questions and Table Topics leader change weekly.

After each person speaks, the membership applauds to show support. When giving feedback, Toastmasters use the “sandwich method” — start with something positive, then bring in an area of improvement, and then end with something positive. “The goal of Toastmasters is to encourage people to come out of their shells and give them confidence,” Klinghoffer said. In her case, being a Toastmaster polished her speaking skills and professional manner. “I can now get up and talk about topics I am unfamiliar with and I’m more comfortable speaking about personal topics,” she said. “Instead of speaking for the first time in front of an audience of strangers, I get to go in front of this group first … and I can get feedback in a safe environment without affecting my income. Instead of speaking in front of potential clients, I can present in front of a test group, and that has been very beneficial to my business.” u

Muirlands scores at Science Olympiad, seeks help for next event By Ashley Mackin A group of 20 Muirlands Middle School students are shining their medals following the recent San Diego Regional Science Olympiad competition. There were 23 events in the Olympiad and Muirlands’ two teams of 10 participated in 12, earning medals in six and second place in two. “The Science Olympiad is the most respected and recognized scientific competition in the country,” said parent volunteer and team captain Laura Jackson. “The regional chapter here in San Diego is the largest in the country. The second largest is in Los Angeles.” San Diego Science Olympiad Regional Director, Liz Jablecki of La Jolla, said the purpose of the competition “is to encourage students to further develop their interests in science and engineering … with an opportunity to explore topics in depth, in a way they might not be able to do in school.” In 1987, Jablecki started a Science Olympiad team at La Jolla High School. In 1989, it won the state competition and advanced to the national level where it placed fifth. A few years later, La Jolla High School won the national competition three years in a row. There are events in the following categories: Life, Personal

commitment for them.” Muirlands Middle School participated in the Science Olympiads years ago, but participation tapered off and it ended. Last year, Jackson — an electrical engineer and Muirlands parent — brought it back and garnered participants. “La Jolla is a community that has a strong reputation for science; public schools in La Jolla are very science-oriented,” she said. “I’ve
“The students involved are learning college-level material at the middle school-level, so they need to commit time in advance to preparing,” Jackson said. “They spent about an hour a week and some time on weekends working on these projects — especially the building categories because they need to build models in a garage or a workshop to find the best one to submit.

The Cane Mutiny: Pushing sugar to the sidelines (Part 1)
C
Death by sugar The worst culprits include refined simple sugars and high fructose corn syrup (particularly those in sodas and baked goods). These sugars compromise the immune system and create free radicals. They also cause irritability, anxiety, hyperactivity and tinker with children’s ability to focus. In adults, they’re associated with memory loss and a foggy brain. They contribute to hypoglycemia and diabetes, along with obesity, tooth decay, periodontal disease, ulcers, gallstones, high cholesterol and constipation. Furthermore, they reduce the body’s ability to ward off bacterial infections, rob the body of vital minerals and make eyes susceptible to macular degeneration and cataracts. They also injure the pancreas; weaken cellular elasticity; contribute to premature aging, varicose veins and osteoporosis; feed candida (yeast infections); trigger pounding migraines, fatigue, inflammation, mood swings, depression, hormonal imbalances and exacerbate PMS symptoms. Enough?
Sugar shock Since there were no processed sugars in the Paleolithic era, cave dwellers satisfied their sweet teeth with fruits, berries and some roots. Today the average American chugs down approximately 100 pounds of addictive sugar in a year.
“San Diego Opera hits the right notes with ‘Elixir of Love’” U-T San Diego
Kitchen Shrink
onsidered one of the most energydepleting foods, studies have shown sugar to be as addicting as cocaine, and linked to causing serious dental, mental and physical diseases and ailments. Sugar is a modern gustatory obsession mistakenly used to reward children for good behavior, a celebratory treat, a love token and a customary way to end a meal. Here’s a primer on this toxic sweetener to help you navigate your way through a healthier world of unrefined complex sugars. (Look for Part 2 of this Sugar Wars column in the Feb. 27 issue of La Jolla Light.)
THE ELIXIR OF LOVE “Everything about San Diego Opera’s The Elixir of Love…was just about perfect.” Opera West
Sweet substitutes Most simple refined sugars are derived from the sugar cane plant grown throughout the tropics, with the white sugar cane stripped, bleached and separated, leaving empty (and harmful) calories. It would be best to redirect the sweet craving toward more nutritious alternatives: n Stevia, an herb indigenous to South America, has been used for hundreds of years in its native land and Japan. Three hundred times sweeter than sugar, a little pinch will do you. This zero-calorie sweetener with no glycemic impact, can be used safely by diabetes and dieters. n Xylitol, a five-carbon sugar (most sugars have six), puts the skids on bacteria growth, making it an ideal ingredient in chewing gum and toothpaste to prevent cavities. Xylitol is naturally occurring in fibrous fruits and vegetables, along with some hardwood trees, and is sold in commercial packages. n Sucanat, unlike refined sugar, is dried, unrefined cane juice produced by a separation of the molasses and sugar streams, then recombined to form a coarse, granular product preserving natural trace minerals. Sucanat metabolizes at a slower rate than sugar, avoiding that sharp, sugar rush. This makes it a great sugar substitute in baking and iced and hot beverages. n Rapadura, similar to sucanat, is a whole food cane juice extracted from sugar cane with a press, evaporated over low heat, stirred with paddles strained to form a granular, organic sugar without chemical agents. n Honey, an immune-protective ancient food, has been found preserved in Pharaohs’ tombs for thousands of years. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals such as B6, amino acids, calcium, potassium, iron and zinc, and has antimicrobial properties. u — For additional sugar-alternative recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Sexy satire in ‘Don Juan’ ballet at Lyceum Theatre By Kris Eitland A seductive Valentine mood lingers at the Lyceum Theatre with two performances of San Diego Ballet’s irresistible “Don Juan.” Set to lively guitar concertos by Joaquin Rodrigo, the three-act ballet opens with three women eager to seduce their humble servant, Don Juan. One by one, they slink out of their chairs for a turn with the handsome guy in tight skinny jeans and pointy boots. “It’s definitely good for adult date night and couples without their kids,” said Maxim Tchernychev, the former Bolshoi Ballet dancer and admired teacher who stars as the legendary lover and scoundrel. Things heat up when the nobleman is away and leaves Don Juan in charge. The mistress wraps her long legs around him like a hungry spider. The nobleman’s daughter balances precariously atop a chair to get his attention. The servant girl, danced by the sultry Stephanie Maiorano, becomes his most ardent stalker. “I’m not changing anything from last year,” Tchernychev said. “I’m 43 years old and I’m just being myself. I’m not a cad. I think we bring more fun into it, and more nuances between the mother, daughter and dad.” If you saw the show last year, you know your heart skips a beat when the nobleman-husband (Matt Carney) discovers their escapades. After a lively aerobic scuffle, Don Juan tosses the daughter back into the arms of her father and escapes. He then encounters gypsies, harem girls, geishas and sea nymphs who can’t resist his charm, which is real. Lean and blond, he’s been called the Russian Steve McQueen. “It’s a curse,” he said with a slight grin and irresistible Russian accent. He’s kidding, of course. Choreographer Javier Velasco created the seductive role just for him. “I had the Don Juan idea for a long time,” Velasco said, “and when Max came to the company and school four years ago, I

In performance, dance aficionados enjoy his masculine style and smooth partnering. He garnered positive attention as Don Juan last year and was praised for his mature presence and cool confidence. The year before, he danced the role of Romeo in San Diego Ballet’s “Romeo and Juliet,” at the age of 40. Few would sign up for that, but he’s grounded in ballet technique. From the age of 10, he attended a ballet academy in his native Russia. He spent five years as a member of the Bolshoi Ballet. He’s danced principal roles in major ballets such as “Swan Lake,” “Giselle” and “The Nutcracker.” In recent years, he focused on teaching, as founder of the San Diego Academy of Ballet. Founded in 1989 by Velasco and co-director Robin SherertzMorgan, San Diego Ballet is a small company that traditionally does a Valentine’s Day weekend show. “Romeo and Juliet” was the go-to show for several years. “When Max came to the company I realized he was willing to have fun,” said Velasco. “He brought a masculine thing to partnering. He was very good as Romeo. And women really enjoy seeing a man like him on stage. So I had to come up with something for Max, a more colorful character.” Velasco needed a skeleton
plot. He researched stories of Casanova and listened to operas. The Don Juan story has been translated into ballets before, but he didn’t like the narratives. “There’s one about two guys who like to gamble,” Velasco said. “One ends ups making a wager that he’ll seduce a nun! So that was out. And there were statues in cemeteries coming to life. But then I stumbled onto the Lord Byron poem.” Byron’s epic 16-canto poem suggests that Don Juan is not searching for love, but enjoys it just the same. “Byron’s poem is unfinished,” Velasco said, “and it’s satirical, which I like. Don Juan isn’t a man who seduces women. He’s a man who women are attracted to, that’s his nature. He’s enjoying it, and we just enjoy it with him. Younger people will like the action, but this is a mature piece. A lot of the deeper meaning
Chris Jovillar, Maxim Tchernychev, Joe Hochschild and Stephanie Maiorano
will appeal to an adult audience.” Viewers who saw the show last year will remember that Tchernychev doesn’t wear tights in the production. Instead, he wears tight black jeans. “He’s that guy,”
Velasco said. “He can get away with it. He’s the cool guy whose pants are a little too tight.” Kris Eitland is a dance writer and co-founder of the online arts forum sandiegostory.com u

Sonja Lyubomirsky
What makes people happy? Is happiness a good thing? The UC San Diego Stein Institute for Research on Aging puts the questions to Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology, UC Riverside and author of “The How of Happiness” and “The Myths of Happiness,” who will provide some answers at a free lecture, 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26 in the Lower Auditorium, MET Building, UCSD campus. Refreshments will be served at 5 p.m. Lyubomirsky’s research – on how people can
become happier — has been honored with a Science of Generosity grant, a John Templeton Foundation grant, a Templeton Positive Psychology Prize, and a million-dollar grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. The Stein Institute announced that the lecture, “The Science and Practice of Happiness Across the Lifespan,” is dedicated to Frank Benedikt Roehr. This endowed series was the inspiration of Suzanne Angelucci of La Jolla as a memorial to her father. It is intended to support public education by
funding lectures that focus on the power of humor and positive thinking and its influence on healthy aging and longevity.

When it comes to matters of the heart, men and women definitely aren’t created equal. For instance, a man’s heart weighs about 10 ounces, while a woman’s heart weighs approximately 8 ounces. True. Not only is a woman’s heart smaller than a man’s, but the signs that it’s in trouble are a lot less obvious. When women have a heart attack — and more than a half million do each year — they’re more likely to have nausea, indigestion and shoulder aches rather than the hallmark chest pain. Both genders should heed this heartfelt advice: Don’t smoke, keep your blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check, and watch for the obvious and the more subtle warning signs your heart could be in trouble. u — webmd.com

After moving to La Jolla, he worked at the original Scripps Clinic on Prospect Street. In 1964, he and Dr. E. Grey Dimond established the cardiology department in the new hospital on the mesa — now Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. After spending two years at Scripps Clinic, Carson and Dr. David Carmichael started Specialty Medical Clinic, absorbed by Scripps Clinic in 1996. At this time, Carson chose to remain in private practice. Carson attributes his interest in medicine to Sir William Osler, publisher of the first textbook of medicine in 1892 and the inspiration for the American Osler Society, dedicated to medical history, which counts Carson among its membership.

Miami-Based glass-master brings light to La Jolla By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt For a few days in January, Miami-based glass artist Terje Lundaas came to town to install a chandelier he designed for a La Jolla couple. Born in Oslo, Norway, Lundaas studied art, craft and design at The Royal College of Art in Stockholm, Sweden, and spent years as a fashion designer before moving on to sculpture. “I began painting when I was young, but I was actually educated to be a tailor,” he said. He moved to Miami in 1991 because he knew there were many Scandinavians in the area — potential buyers for the bronze sculptures he was making at the time. His move to glass involved both serendipity and initiative. “I was designing pieces for cruise ships, and next door to the foundry where I was doing my bronzes, there was a little glass-blowing studio,” he said. “I’m an impatient person, and I’d been thinking my bronzes took too long. I started talking to the glassblower, a professor at the University of Miami, and asked if he needed an assistant. I told him I had no experience with glass, but would work for free if he gave me 15 minutes of instruction for every hour I put in. I started that day.” Recalling his early experiments with glass, Lundaas smiled. “I didn’t

called Jan. (She, too, has a Jan in her name, Biljana.) Over a decade ago, she met Lundaas at a gallery in Salt Lake City, where he was exhibiting. She arranged for a show at Galeria Jan, and his works sold out. These days, she has only one of his pieces on display, a large blown-glass vessel called “Indian Summer.” But she has plans for another solo show this fall. Meanwhile, his local clients, Drs. Joseph and Gloria Shurman, are thrilled with their new chandelier, which Lundaas designed to create “a warm feeling, like a fireplace.” Gloria Shurman said she had intended to buy a chandelier in San Diego. “But Biljana kept saying: ‘What you don’t need is a Chihuly lookalike; you need an original by a well-known glass artist.” Once introduced to Lundaas, the Shurmans spent months looking at designs and colors, and months waiting for the finished product, which is made up of almost 100 pieces of blown glass. “Watching Terje put it together was amazing,” Shurman said. “And it fits the space so well, it looks like it was born there. We absolutely love what he did.” For more information about Lundaas and his work, contact Biljana Beran at jbb1307@aol.com u

Lecture: The Future of Cancer Globally, cases of cancer doubled between 1975 and 2000. The rate is expected to double again by 2020, triple by 2030. Will science ever find a cure for humanity’s most ravaging scourge? And what’s taken so long for significant breakthroughs to be made? Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of “The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer,” (2010) will delve into these issues at a free public forum, 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 25 at Price Center West Ballroom on the UC San Diego campus. The lecture is co-presented by UCSD Extension and the Center for Ethics in Science & Technology as part of the UCSD Helen Edison Lecture Series. Born and raised in India, Mukherjee is a graduate of Stanford University, Oxford University (as a Rhodes Scholar) and Harvard Medical School. He is an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University, as well as a cancer physician at Siddhartha Mukherjee the CU/NYU Presbyterian Hospital.

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 39 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the
family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor. The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices. Boasting a highly qualified, passionate and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.

Mike Morse with ‘Moth Fractal’
Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
Artists share love stories at Valentine’s show
“O
ur latest show is an exhibition of paintings that attempt to capture — through the medium of visual art — the essence of love, which comes in many shapes and sizes,” said Rae Ann Marks, secretary of the Jolla Art Association (LJAA) at the Feb. 15 reception for “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing.” Landscape architect Larry Greenwood, who spends most of his time in Napa County constructing gardens for estates and hotels, such as the Hotel Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, had three paintings in the show. “This is a great area for surfing. It’s just too cold and there are too many sharks on the Sonoma Coast, so I come down here to surf and show my art. This is the third show
I’ve been in here at the LJAA,” he said. Greenwood graduated from UC Berkeley in 1973 with a degree in Architecture, Design, and Art during the time of the Vietnam War protests. “I’ve been married twice and divorced twice,” he said. “I think you have to approach love with an open heart and an open mind … and don’t be a control freak! People need some freedom and space.” Artist Lee Katz, who showed a painting of her dog, said she loves animals and has five dogs at home. All are rescue dogs she got from the pound. “We can love people or animals. We can love the moon and sunlight, the morning or the night,” Katz laughed. Kay Kaplan, who’s been married for 30
years, had two small oil paintings in the show; one of a VW beetle, the other of her neighbor’s back gate. She shared her motto for a lasting marriage: “Listen, understand, and don’t sweat the small stuff.” Kaplan’s husband noted, “My wife has a broad sense of humanity, which is reflected in her art work. In my opinion, the secret to a long marriage is to marry someone who is better than you, but never tell them that they are! And live each day with quality … then in the future, you will not have any regrets.” The Kaplan’s friends, Anita and Mick Emate, married for just three-and-a-half years, took in the show. This is the second marriage for both. They were friends during college, but went their separate ways in life. Mick sought Anita out through a common friend after his divorce. “Love is saying, ‘I am sorry and I love you,’” noted Mick. Anita chimed in, “He’s my answered prayer.” LJAA President Mike Morse exhibited two of his digital art paintings. Each was made on a computer using an algorithm for fractals. “One lady told me my art was too
‘Dog’ by Lee Katz
‘Love and Innocence’ by Rae Ann Marks
Art patrons Anita and Mick Emde perfect,” Morse said. “She wanted to take it and do it as a painting, so it would have imperfections. It’s funny, but sometimes it’s the imperfections that make a work of art more valuable. “As for love, I’ve not been too successful at that, probably because I’m a perfectionist and have high ideals, and reality rarely lives up to our ideals. That’s the thing about art, through it, you can reach a perfection that you can’t find in real life.” Other highlights of the show included Marks’ beautiful painting of a mother and infant that she created made from an equally beautiful photograph; Margaret Kaiser’s young girl holding a white goose titled, “Queen of Hearts”; Gabriel Rayes’ two colorfully simple works; and Shirley Clark’s cartoon-like painting, “Two Musicians.” It fascinated because the perspective was all wrong but the error in rendering made it unique. All agreed that the imperfections of others (or of our relationships) are, as in art, the stuff that makes things great and what we should treasure. JudyJudyJudy’s painting, “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,” said it all. u

It’s time for some swashbucklin’ at The San Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT) where the blockbuster exhibition, ”Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship,” is on view through Sept. 1. “Real Pirates will give visitors a sense of what life was like on board a pirate ship while teaching a bit about the history of piracy,” said Michael Hager, Ph.D., president and CEO of theNAT. “We expect this exhibition to be a ‘must-see’ for residents as well as visitors to San Diego. Visitors will be as surprised as I was about how different piracy was compared to present-day perceptions.” Organized by Premier Exhibitions, Inc., in partnership with National Geographic, “Real Pirates” tells the true story of the Whydah, the first fully authenticated pirate shipwreck discovered in U.S. waters. In 1984, famed underwater explorer Barry Clifford made world headlines with his sighting of the

It is said that, in 1941 the Ford motor company produced an experimental automobile with a plastic body composed of 70% cellulose fibers from hemp. The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced.

IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE is hereby given that Witkin & Eisinger, LLC, a limited liability company, as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee, or as agent for the trustee, pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by Hillside Knoll, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company recorded
on 12/30/2005 as Instrument No. 2005-1120822 in Book n/a Page n/a of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 10/31/2013 in Book n/a, Page n/a, as Instrument No. 2013-0652231 of said Official Records, WILL SELL on 03/17/2014 at the front entrance to the building, 321 N. Nevada Street, Oceanside, CA 92054 at 10:30 A.M. AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States) all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 7455 Hillside Dr., La Jolla, CA 92037 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $9,057,646.59* *The actual opening bid may be more or less than this estimate. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust including advances authorized thereunder and also including, without way of limitation, the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust together with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus the fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. THIS PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD IN AN “AS-IS” CONDITION. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn if your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable,
the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or visit this Internet Web site: wwwtacforeclosures. com/sales using the file number assigned to this case: D2013-0669 CKE (omit the initials/letters at the end of the file number). Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURES: (1) At the time of sale, the opening bid by the beneficiary may not represent a full credit bid. The beneficiary reserves the right, during the auction, to increase its bid incrementally up to a full credit bid. The beneficiary may also bid over and above its credit bid with cash, cashier’s checks or cash equivalents. (2) The Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale (TDUS) will not be issued to the successful bidder until the bidder’s payment has been deposited in the trustee’s bank and cleared (all holds released). The bidder may have to take additional actions as required by trustee’s bank in order to facilitate the deposit and clearance of bidder’s funds. (3) If, prior to the issuance of the TDUS, the trustee shall become aware of any deficiency in the foreclosure process, or if the trustee becomes aware of any bankruptcy or other legal issue affecting the validity of the foreclosure sale, then, after consultation with its attorneys, the trustee, in its sole discretion, may decline to issue the TDUS and return the bidder’s funds, without interest. If, subsequent to the issuance of the TDUS, the trustee shall become aware of any deficiency in the foreclosure process, or if the trustee becomes aware of any bankruptcy or other legal issue affecting the validity of the foreclosure sale, then after consultation with its attorneys, the trustee, in its sole discretion, may rescind the TDUS pursuant to Civil Code Section 1058.5(b) and return the bidder’s funds, without interest. (4) When conducted, the foreclosure sale is not final until the auctioneer states “sold”. Any time prior thereto, the sale may be canceled or postponed at the discretion of the trustee or the beneficiary.

At the core of “Real Pirates” are: n The Whydah’s bell, inscribed “Whydah Galley 1716,” which was used to authenticate the shipwreck site. n A treasure chest filled with authentic coins last touched by pirates and authentic coins that visitors can touch. n Technologically advanced weaponry of the time — grenades, cannons, muskets, pistols, cutlasses, swords and more. n Artifacts that represent the daily lives of pirates — from a commode and plates to jewelry, clothing and game pieces. n Portions of the Whydah’s rigging and tools the crew used to maintain it. n Navigational tools like sounding weights and ring dials.
Pirate Journals In addition to Real Pirates, visitors may also view a bonus exhibition, “Pirates: Unlikely Naturalists,” curated by theNAT in partnership with local contributors.

It’s all fun with language in French farce redux By Diana Saenger Playwright David Ives’ “The School for Lies,” opening at North Coast Repertory Theatre this week, is his own spin on Molière’s 1666 comedy of manners about French aristocratic society, “The Misanthrope.” “Lies” features frivolous lawsuits, sleazy lawyers and rock ‘n’ roll, and where Molière’s work was written entirely in verse, Ives’ is comprised of rhymed couplets. Andrew Paul (co-producing artistic director and co-founder of The Phoenix in Pittsburgh) is on board to direct the play for the second time in his long career. He admits it has always fascinated him. “In the last 10 years, Ives started writing these adaptations of French classics into English,” Paul said. “Ives and I share a belief that even though ‘The Misanthrope’ is perDirector Andrew Paul haps Molière’s most well-known play, and perhaps his masterpiece, we both find it a little bit cold. Ives has created a new play, sort of a hybrid that still retains the plot and essence of the original, but tells the story in a unique way with added comedy, making it a little more accessible for a 21st century audience.” In Ives’ play, the satirization of upper-class life in 17thcentury Paris reveals that some things back then, were not so different from contemporary life in America. “At the end of ‘The Misanthrope,’ Acaste (Jason Heil) has shunned society and is going off to a deserted island,” Paul said. “He asks Celimene (Jessica John) to come with him,
In the sexy, bawdy ‘The School For Lies,’ at North Coast Rep, playwright David Ives tinkers with Molière’s ‘The Misanthrope,’ providing a farce for modern times. Courtesy
but she refuses. He leaves on his own, and it’s kind of a cold ending. That’s a jumping off point for ‘School for Lies.’ Acaste has not been seen for two years. Celimene is presumed to be a widow until Frank (Richard Baird) becomes obsessed with finding out if what he’s heard is true — that she’s a coquette who entertains suitors and has completely transformed her life.” Paul said he likes that the dialogue is done in Shakespearean iambic pentameter style. “It’s not only the rhyming,” Paul said, “it’s a lexicon of words of which I had no idea what they meant. This makes it so fun for the audience because Ives is such a virtuoso of the English language.”
Ives pulled out all the stops to keep the rhymes going and play’s humor at the forefront. “The show is funny, like the classic comedic farces of Molière’s ‘The Miser’ and ‘The Learned Ladies,’” Paul said. “They have a knockabout quality and there are a lot of clowns … luckily, there are fantastic comic actors in San Diego who are very terrific at specific comedic types. I feel fortunate we were able to cast so many of them.” Paul said he has worked with sound designer Elizabeth Atkinson before and is delighted at the innovation she’s brought to “The School for Lies.” “Elizabeth found a way to breach the 17th century with the 21st century,” Paul said. “Because Ives’ language is very contemporary, she took the music of the play, done on the harpsichord, and added syncopation and a drum beat. It fuses the two in an interesting way that’s funky and modern in one respect, but still has that harpsichord element underneath it.” The cast also includes Brenda Dodge, Dana Hooley, Phil Johnson, David McBean, Jonathan McMurtry and Joel Ripka. In addition to many laughs, Paul said he hopes the audience sees the verbal fireworks — where people use language as a weapon — and Ives’s work as a re-imagining of a great classic for the western audience. u n IF YOU GO: ‘The School for Lies’ — When: Matinees, evenings through March 16. Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets: From $37. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

‘The Elixir of Love’ opera casts its spell Is it truly a magic elixir or just a bottle of cheap Bordeaux? Nemorino (Italian tenor Giuseppe Filianoti) desperately wants to marry the wealthy Adina (Moldovan soprano Tatiana Lisnic) who seems out of his league. When she Giuseppe Filianoti attracts a handsome Sergeant (Malcolm MacKenzie) as her suitor, Nemorino turns in desperation to the charlatan Dr. Dulcamara (John Del Carlo) who claims to have an “elixir of love.” He spends all his money on the elixir and has to enlist to get cash for more. When Dr. Dulcamara tells the village girls that Nemorino is suddenly rich, they all chase after him, so Nemorino knows the potion
works. But it takes more than an elixir to win Adina’s heart. Filled with tender love songs and fun duets, “The Elixir of Love” by composer Gaetano Donizetti, is a perfect example of opera buffa. It Tatiana Lisnic will be presented by San Diego Opera in Italian with English supertitles above the stage, 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23 at the Civic Theatre, 1100 3rd Ave. Tickets from $45 at (619) 533-7000 and sdopera.com Note: 30-minute informative lectures take place in the theater one hour prior to performances with insider details about the show; free to ticket holders. u
Willis Allen Real Estate celebrates 100 years in San Diego County By Kristina Houck For 100 years, Willis Allen Real Estate has helped San Diegans find their dream homes. “Here’s a service company that has rendered help to community members for so many different decades over so many different events in our world,” said Andrew E. Nelson, president and CEO of the real estate company. “This is a little company that started in the small village of La Jolla in 1914. We had World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, and it still existed and still proceeded to go forth while so many companies collapsed. That, to me, is pretty exciting.” Businessman Frederick L. Brown founded the company in La Jolla in 1914. In 1940, the company’s namesake, Willis Andrew E. Nelson, Allen, Sr., bought the president/CEO of business, changed the Willis Allen Real Estate company name and grew with the city. “It was the foundation of what happened in the community,” Nelson said. “There were so many different homes and complexes in which he was the listing agent or selling agent.” Under Allen’s leadership, the company opened its second location in Rancho Santa Fe in 1952 and expanded to Del Mar in 1973. Allen was a mentor to Nelson, who started with the company in 1977. Both had served in the U.S. Navy and both shared a love of real estate. In 1981, Nelson became the new leader of Willis Allen Real Estate. He later purchased
the company in 1995. “I wanted to make sure that we lived on the legacy that had been passed on by prior leadership and ownership, including Willis,” said Nelson, a Del Mar native. “We’re a high-end boutique company, but we worked very comfortably in the neighborhoods in which we operated. The whole idea was to make sure the integrity of our small close-knit group was maintained.” Under Nelson’s leadership, the company has more than doubled in size. With offices located in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Point Loma, Coronado and downtown San Diego, Willis Allen Real Estate has expanded throughout the county. Although much has changed since the company first opened its doors, Willis Allen Real Estate is still committed to hiring the best and brightest agents who go above and beyond for their clients, said Nelson. “The integrity and the commitment to have strong one-on-one client relationships has stayed the same,” Nelson said. “It’s been that way from the beginning.” Still an independent and family-owned business, many staff members and agents have worked at the company for 20 or more years, Nelson said. Following in their father’s footsteps, Nelson’s two sons now work at the company. In honor of Willis Allen Real Estate’s centennial anniversary, agents, staff and family will celebrate with a party mid-April on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Midway. “It’s a commitment on everybody’s part to trust and work as a team,” Nelson said. “We’re trying to make sure we’re giving the best service we can to the public.” u For more information about Willis Allen Real Estate, visit willisallen.com
