T
he Bishop’s School basketball star junior Alessandra Aguirre’s CIF record 50 points in a game with 15 three-point shots (against La Jolla High), got the attention of the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters, who decided to send one of their own, El Gato Melendez, to surprise the hoopster and challenge her to a “shootout” in front of the school, Monday, Feb. 8. He made a few more shots than she did, but they didn't really keep score. Gato is a Puerto Rican-born Globetrotter in his third season and the ambassador for the team. The Knights girls varsity basketball team is currently 22-5. Their next game is 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 at home against Santa Fe Christian.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN As neighbors in La Jolla’s communities continue to gather to discuss crime prevention and exchange information — such as in WindanSea and the Country Club area — the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) also took up the issue during its monthly meeting Feb. 2 at Bird Rock Elementary School. The community has a strong and longstanding Neighborhood Watch program, and receives regular reports from police and the Neighborhood Watch chair. “During the holidays, we had a few packages stolen from front porches, but that’s to be expected,” the Neighborhood Watch chair said. “It happens all over the city and the county — people follow the delivery trucks and when they see someone doesn’t answer their door, they take their packages.” More recently, she said, “smash and grabs” with thieves breaking car windows to steal the items inside — specifically garage door openers — has occurred. To avoid this, she advised, “Leave valuables out of sight and if you have a garage door opener, remove it from your car (or hide it). Thieves will break into your car, take the garage door opener and then later use it to get into your garage. If you have your garage attached to your house, make sure the door that connects the garage to your house is locked. Don’t assume because your garage is closed your house is safe.” Bike thefts and casing neighborhoods — when criminals watch a house for times when occupants go to SEE CRIME, A12
Mansionization group ends work with Planning Association Committee will continue independently to craft tailored building criteria BY ASHLEY MACKIN The sun has set on the ad-hoc committee on single-family residential zoning (aka mansionization) as a sub-committee of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), but the group will continue to work independently to develop a set of tailored building criteria for La Jolla. Committee chair Sharon Wampler provided a final report of its findings at LJCPA’s Feb. 4 meeting at the Rec
Center. Formed in May 2015, Wampler said the ad-hoc committee met regularly to “scope issues related to incompatible new single-family construction in existing neighborhoods through public meetings. We worked to develop feasible strategies to reconcile current city zoning with La Jolla Community Plan and consider what is feasible to implement at the city and a simple administrative systems that balance property rights with community concerns.” Concurrently, the City of San Diego was drafting language to address the issue in the 10th update to its Land Development Code, identified SEE MANSIONIZATION, A24

Heermann’s gull prepares for southward breeding migration
G
ulls are notoriously hard to identify because of the many color variations and molts they go through before maturity. Some may take several years before they reach their mature plumage (e.g., 2-year gulls or 3-year gulls). Heermann’s gull, quite
common here in Southern California, is a bit easier to identify, because it is such a standout. Frequently seen with Western gulls and other shorebirds, this medium-sized gull is the only one with a brilliant white head and bright red beak. It has a slate-gray back

and black legs. We see Heermann’s gulls on our beaches year round. Adult birds are moving into their breeding plumage now in preparation for their southward migration. These gulls nest exclusively on islands off Pacific Mexico and then migrate north after the breeding season (which begins in March). Heermann’s gulls time their northward migrations with brown pelicans, which they commonly harass to try to steal their food. They will also try to steal meals from other birds, but they can forage on their own over open water. Heermann’s gulls nest in colonies with their nests built directly on the ground in
shallow depressions — or on a platform made of sticks and dry grasses. It is generally reported that more than 90 percent of Heermann’s gulls nest on Isla Raza in the Sea of Cortez. Although Heermann’s gulls have been observed trying to nest in California, no successes have yet been recorded. On your next walk at the beach, see if you can pick out the distinctive and beautiful Heermann’s gull. — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation, working with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.

Douglas Brinkley on American Politics
Scholar reviews presidents for Bishop’s lecture BY WILL BOWEN While many people were at home watching the Iowa Caucus on television, Feb. 1, a packed house of about 450 gathered at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street, to hear Rice University Professor Douglas Brinkley, Ph.D., give a tour-de-force lecture reflecting on all the American presidents — from Washington to Obama — as a warm-up to this year’s elections. The lecture, titled “Historical Perspectives on the American Presidency and the Election of 2016,” was presented as part of The Bishop’s School Endowed Scholar-in-Residence Program. Professor Brinkley, who will be at Bishop’s School for one week teaching and consulting with students and faculty, was selected as this year’s scholar. Each year Bishop’s brings an academic leader to its campus to inspire students and teachers toward the highest ideals of scholarship. Keri Peckham, associate director of marketing at Bishop’s, explained, “The choice of a scholar is the result of proposals the students and faculty submit each year.” The program is

Head of School Aimeclaire Roche welcomed the crowd, after which, Jeff Geoghegan, Ph.D., chair of the History & Social Sciences Department,
introduced Professor Brinkley. Referred to as “America’s new past master” and “the best of the new generation of American historians,” Brinkley is the author of numerous books, including: “The Great Deluge,”
“Tour of Duty,” “The Boys of Pointe du Hoc,” “Parish Priest” and “The Majic Bus.” He also edited The New York Times bestseller, “The Reagan Diaries.” His latest book is about Theodore Roosevelt. In addition to writing history books, Brinkley is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, Boston Globe, Rolling Stone and Atlantic Monthly. He is also a CNN consultant and has interviewed celebrities like Bob Dylan and Barack Obama. Before assuming a professorship at Rice University in Houston, Brinkley, who earned his B.A. at Ohio State and Ph.D. at Georgetown University, taught at the U.S. Naval Academy, Princeton, Hofstra, Tulane, and the University of New Orleans. Professor Brinkley began by celebrating a little known (but highly significant) Founding Father by the name of Charles Thompson. A Philadelphia brew master, Thompson was also head of the radical breakaway group, “The Sons of Liberty,” and was secretary of the Continental Congress. Thompson, said Brinkley, signed The Declaration of Independence, and helped Thomas Jefferson print out

hard copies for circulation. He also insisted that Washington be the first president, and when Washington was at Valley Forge with his troops, it was Thompson he wrote to, to secure funding for his army’s needs. Thompson also designed The Great Seal of America (national logo) and ensured that the eagle became the symbol of the country, and not the turkey, as Ben Franklin desired. Brinkley credited Jefferson with doubling the size of the country when he was president via The Louisiana Purchase, which Jefferson insisted was needed for national security. The Purchase was also important because it integrated a much more diverse group of individuals into the new nation. Brinkley next discussed Andrew Jackson, aka “Old Hickory,” the Indian fighter president, whom actor Sean Penn will play in an upcoming TV special; and James Polk, who increased U.S. land during the Mexican American War. Brinkley spent the most time on President Teddy Roosevelt, who among his many accomplishments was setting aside 234 million acres of wilderness for National Parks. Brinkley labeled Franklin Delano Roosevelt another key president, whose “Big Friendly Government” policies were highly influential until President Ronald Reagan instituted a Big Government rollback in the 1980s. John F. Kennedy, Brinkley said, was one of the most popular presidents

Rice University Professor Douglas Brinkley, Ph.D., reflects on the various American Presidents as a prelude to this year’s elections. with college students. Kennedy started the Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the Peace Corps, in addition to putting a man on the moon. However, the press never reported his many
dalliances with women because in those days, Brinkley explained, reporters sought to protect the image of the Presidency. Brinkley touched on some of the
“also-rans” for president, like William Jennings Bryan and Ross Perot, noting the Navy Seals gave Perot, Osama Bin Ladin’s walking stick as a gift because “Perot’s the guy who always gives them a job after they exit the Navy.” Brinkley noted the students at Bishop’s seem to be most interested in The Civil War period, but when he was young, he most wanted to study The Revolutionary War and the founding of the country. About this current time in history, Brinkley said, “The Federal government is very broken right now, no doubt about it!” What he also laments about today, he said, is that people don’t write letters or diaries anymore, which, as a historian, he loves to pour over for historical details. Barry Jagoda, a former CBS news producer and assistant to President Jimmy Carter, was in the audience with praise for Brinkley’s presentation. “In this media age, it is so helpful to have a scholar who can bring historical facts to bear on our contemporary debates, instead of just a bunch of unsubstantiated chatter!” he said. Bishop’s junior Eric Holm, a student in the Advanced Placement U.S. History class, remarked, “Professor Brinkley gave a definitely interesting, if middle-of-the-road or value-neutral, take on the Presidency, which is helpful background for better understanding what’s going on with the Caucus tonight in Iowa.”

Global Leadership Connection awards 2016 scholarships
Ninety-four student leaders from seven San Diego high schools were nominated by their schools to participate in the two-day Global Leadership Connection (GLC) Conference, co-sponsored by the University of San Diego, Jan. 28 and 31.

Fire Monkey Year
Monkey year begins on February 8, 2016 THE WAY OF THE MONKEY
The year of the Monkey is ideal for a quantum leap in your life! Now is the time to shake things up, create change, and innovate a new path. Join Monkey’s enthusiastic energy when risks are rewarded and anything can happen. Even the most ambitious plans can succeed. There will be more than enough action and opportunity to keep you busy. In Monkey year, it’s fine to just make it up as you go along. Fire is red; red means action; fire brings passion, creativity and joy. Those born in Monkey years (1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016) are clever, sharp, mercurial, and entertaining. They are wonderful to be around because they are fun, creative, and bring the sparkling energy that only Monkey can provide. A monkey embodies strong leadership potential and, like her best friend the Dragon, won’t allow anyone to tell her what to do. The uninhibited Monkey rarely gets embarrassed by anything, and is free to express herself fearlessly in all walks of life. In addition to acute mental alertness, Monkey also possesses physical stamina. Monkey is good with her hands, has skills and dexterity with machines, naturally has technological talents, and can easily master new concepts. A superb generalist, Monkey can do anything! In relationships, a Monkey loves romance, and is very sensitive and generous. Everyone loves the Monkey, and the birth rate skyrockets in Asia during a Monkey year.

La Jolla dog groomer Gloria Erickson retires
BY ASHLEY MACKIN After about four decades as a dog groomer in La Jolla, Gloria Erickson retired in January … for real this time. Although she retired before, she says this time it’s for good. Known for her gentle touch and the “Zen environment” she creates for pets, Erickson said she worked with area groomers before opening her own shops. But growing up with dogs that had long fur, Erickson has been brushing coats and learning how to bathe them her whole life. “I had an Afghan Hound and they are like movie star dogs, they have long fur,” she said. “I thought if I could groom this dog with all this fur, surely I could be a good dog groomer. So I started by going in as a brusher and bather.” She went on to dog grooming school to expand her skills and then entered the work force. In La Jolla’s early days, The Cottage Restaurant was a petstore called the Village Pet Shop, and that’s where Erickson got her start in the 1970s. “Whenever I go to The Cottage these days, I try to sit near where my grooming station was,” she said. Although she grew up in San Diego, she moved to La Jolla in 1976 to be close to work. By 1983, she had her own shop, Classic Grooming of La Jolla (now Classic Grooming of La Jolla and Green Pay Grooming) on Fay Avenue. She ran Classic Grooming for more than 25 years before her
first retirement. Longtime customers Tom and Brenda Lester said they’ve been bringing their Bichon Frise, Lily, to Erickson for years. “We were always impressed with the beautiful job she does. Not only with our dog, but with some of our friends’ dogs,” Tom Lester said. “She loves dogs, and probably cats, too, and they love her instantly and she has a way with them. I can’t say enough good things about her.” Pending the occasional Saturday visit, Erickson suspended her professional dog grooming for a short while and focused on her own dogs. A pause the Lesters said they wish didn’t happen. But because rescuing shelter dogs “has always been a big part of my life,” she moved to Ramona so she could have land for her dogs to run and roam. It didn’t take long for Erickson to come out of retirement. Almost immediately after handing over Classic Grooming, she opened Gloria’s Pet Spa on Herschel Avenue. “I liked that I paid Herschel Avenue rent but got frontage on Girard,” she joked. Adding her name to the business was her brother’s idea. He told her, “People know you in this town, you have to put your name on the business!” Erickson said she wanted her new shop to be one-of-a-kind, with a nice atmosphere where the dogs are happy. “So instead of cages I made little exercise pens with dog beds and water bowls and toys,” she said. “I had had enough of loud noises, so I wanted
Mar aryyl Weight m an
quiet hairdryers and equipment. I wanted to create a Zen environment so the dogs wouldn’t bark.” Erickson ran the business, bringing on enthusiastic groomers to carry out her vision, and she trained them in her ways. “I wanted them to do things like I did and not use the production-line style that many places use,” she said, noting that some groomers will see 30-40 animals a day. “A lot of salons bring all their dogs in in the morning and they just wait there all day,” she said. “I wanted to space out the appointments and see fewer dogs each day to give them a little more attention.” Carrying on her legacy, Michelle Drummond bought Gloria’s Pet Spa from Erickson in January 2015, after the two worked together for four years. “Her chief concern was always the animals’ care and being really kind to them; it was a huge motivation for her,” Drummond said. “She was one of the gentlest groomers I’ve ever worked with.” Although she was confident leaving the grooming spa in Drummond’s hands, Erickson said she knows she’ll miss it. “I’ll miss the customers the most because they have become good friends. And of course, there are always special dogs I’ll miss,” she said. She offered these tips for picking a groomer: ■ Does the owner have pets or volunteer to help homeless pets, because some are just in the business for the money.

FROM CRIME, A1 work or run errands — were also discussed. The day of the BRCC meeting, several reports of someone casing the neighborhood were received. The Neighborhood Watch chair gave a description of the suspects, and said when they arrived at her house, they said they were “selling carpets.” Another attendee announced that when they arrived at his house, they said they were “representing a church.” “Anyone going door-to-door, besides Girl Scouts or expected service workers (cable, AT&T, etc.) has to have a permit,” said the Neighborhood Watch Chair. “Such thieves are coming around and want to know if you are home, if you have a dog, if you leave valuables near the front door and so on. They are looking for small electronics, cash, jewelry and other items that can fit in their pockets.” Regarding bike thefts, which she called “crimes of opportunity,” she said one of the biggest problems is people do not write their bicycle serial numbers down and “You have to have that number, register it and take a photo of the bike to prove it belongs to you. So many people don’t get their bikes back because they cannot prove it’s theirs.”

Jooste said LJ Crafted Wines will sell varietals made in Napa Valley “tapped” straight from the barrel and served by the glass in refillable growlers. An unexpected hiccup in city permitting has delayed the opening by several months. “One month into construction, with several permits in hand, the city said you can only continue if you make the sidewalk fronting the business ADA-compliant,” he
said. This meant rebuilding the sidewalk to ease the transition into the store. In the meantime, wooden scaffolding has gone up to provide a consistent walkway for pedestrians. He said the sidewalk work would not impede the planned opening.

SPARK gala to support Moores cancer research
COURTESY
C
ommunity members, physicians and cancer survivors will come together Saturday, April 25 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar for the 34th annual SPARK Gala, an evening to “ignite the fight against cancer.” The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner, auction and performance by Megan Hilty, who made her Broadway debut as Glinda in “Wicked.” Individual tickets are $600 and sponsorships are available. For details and reservations, visit sparkgala.org or call (858) 534-4289. Gala proceeds will benefit patient care and research at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, including to help launch a new Cancer Immunotherapy Program, which will make possible groundbreaking immunotherapy clinical trials with novel drugs and vaccines, as well as an experimental treatment where patients’
own immune cells are genetically engineered to fight their cancer. The program at Moores Cancer Center is unique to only a handful of academic medical centers around the country. Last year, the event raised more than $5 million for the Cancer Center through the generosity of guests as well as matching gifts. Gala co-chairs Wanda and Cam Garner know firsthand how destructive the disease can be. Cancer has touched four generations of Cam’s family, primarily in the form of leukemia and lymphoma. His father died at age 49, when Cam was 17, and his sister died at age 39. His brother and mother also died of cancer-related causes, and his niece has been diagnosed. “We want to be sure that San Diego has a world-class cancer center, with the best doctors and researchers, so that no
one here needs to leave in order to receive the highest quality of care,” said the Garners. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Moores Cancer Center building. Part of UC San Diego Health System, Moores Cancer Center is one of just 41 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country (and the only one in the San Diego region) that is leading a range of research initiatives and patient-centered programs to improve prevention, detection and care. In addition, in 2016, UC San Diego Health System will open the new Jacobs Medical Center, which will house the Pauline and Stanley Foster Pavilion for Cancer Care, a state-of-the-art in-patient facility to meet the projected needs of the region as the population grows and ages. Designed with input from cancer patients and families, the pavilion will
provide the latest in technology for clinical care. “Immunotherapy is extremely precise and is transforming outcomes in ways never thought possible,” said Scott Lippman, M.D., director of Moores Cancer Center (and who writes the monthly Frontline Cancer column in La Jolla Light). “Our team, led by world-renowned physician-scientists Drs. Ezra Cohen and Tom Kipps, has already developed and activated several key clinical trials that include the exploration of novel immune checkpoint inhibitors. These paradigm-shifting studies show remarkable promise in patients battling cancers even when resistant to traditional therapies. “In the next year, we will dramatically expand the scope of this program to include immune cellular therapy, such as adaptive T-cell transfer.” For more details, visit cancer.ucsd.edu

Former Scripps doc advocates for flu vaccines Donald Stevenson shares his insights at Torrey Pines Rotary Club meeting BY ASHLEY MACKIN When retired allergist and immunologist Dr. Donald Stevenson spoke to the Torrey Pines Rotary Club during its Feb. 3 meeting at Rock Bottom Brewery, he offered an important disclaimer: “I’m not hired by any vaccine company … I have no relationship with them.” This was good to know because the bulk of his lecture, “Influenza: The Killer Virus. Facts/Fiction about Vaccinations,” covered the structure, history, benefits of and debunking myths about the flu vaccine. “Newspapers talk a lot about Ebola, Zika and other viruses, but this one is literally the worst killer the world has ever known,” Stevenson said of the nasty, but common, respiratory infection. He called the number of folks not getting the flu vaccine “a tragedy.” Stevenson, who retired from the Scripps Clinic Medical Group and The Scripps Research Institute in January, explained that there are three types of influenza: A, B and C. Type A can be passed through animals (primarily pigs), birds and humans; while Types B and C can only be carried and passed by humans. Breaking down the science of how a flu virus works, he said the human immune system recognizes structures on the outside of the virus cell, which he compared to a colorful coat. “Some coats are green, some are red, some are blue, some are yellow, which our system learns to recognize,” he said. “But each year, a new virus comes out that has a different-colored coat than what our immune system has already seen and is ready to combat. And some flu viruses go through a minor mutation our system can partially recognize — such as a chartreuse coat instead of green one — that’s why some viruses are easier to attack than others.” In the early 1900s, he said, science started to better understand how a virus works, and medical professionals were better able to fight influenza at the molecular level. One of the first recorded flu epidemics was during World

Retired Scripps allergist and immunologist Donald Stevenson, M.D. talks to the Torrey Pines Rotary Club about flu season. War I. In 1938, readying for World War II, the “killed” influenza virus vaccine was introduced, and used exclusively by the military, Stevenson said. As a result, there were no epidemics of U.S. troops during World War II. Epidemics since then have been sporadic, he added, and took place in 1957, 1968, 2004 and 2009. In 1976, there was what has been referred to as the “swine flu debacle,” Stevenson said, which may have been a precursor to the modern conception that the flu vaccine has severe side effects or causes other diseases. “One soldier died at Fort Dix of a flu that appeared to be close to a 1918 strain … The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was so concerned it was the same strain as in 1918, that it recommended the entire U.S. population be immunized,” he said. In the rush of things, about 40 million people (24 percent of the population at that time) were immunized. At the same time, SEE FLU, A18

FROM FLU, A14

Jelena Todoric, Rotary past president Jay Coggan and Jerry Magruder
there was a slight influx of Guillain-Barre Syndrome cases reported. (G-B causes paralysis, and in some cases, paralysis of the chest, leading to death.) It was suggested in the press that the flu vaccine causes Guillain-Barre. “The government got really nervous and suspended vaccinations. This was a terrible thing to do because … the federal government was basically saying Guillain-Barre was caused by the flu vaccine, and that was tragic because the actual reason for the increase in Guillain-Barre was increased reporting.” Fear that the flu vaccine caused other ailments is one of the main reasons Dr. Stevenson said his patients would choose not to get vaccinated, although he assured them the vaccine is made using a “killed” or “dead” virus. “A vaccine is constructed based on three or four predominant strains selected by the World Health Organization in July of each year. These seed viruses are placed in chick embryos for about three months (the time is takes for the virus to “grow”) and then scientists carry out a process called Zone Electrophoresis to reduce the egg protein to less than one microgram per milliliter (so the vaccine can be given to those with egg allergies without stimulating a reaction),” he explained. “Scientists then harvest the virus and kill it. The dead virus
initiates a less robust immune response, and there is some memory recall from the immune system having seen that ‘coat’ before. “Conspiracy theorists who make a career out of denigrating vaccines without medical knowledge, create a headwind for doctors trying to promote vaccines.” Further, conflicting information from the CDC has also cast some doubt, he said. The CDC issued a statement that children who get a severe reaction from egg allergies can get the vaccine, but only in their allergist’s office. “But, these are diametrical thoughts; one is saying there’s not enough egg protein in a flu vaccine to produce an allergic reaction, but yet you still have to get the vaccine in the allergist’s office,” he said. Advocating for more people to get the vaccine, Dr. Stevenson said approximately 100,000 to 200,000 people die each year from influenza. And because Type A influenza can be carried by people or birds, it can travel worldwide. But if every human being on Earth got the flu vaccine, types B and C would be eradicated because there would be no host. Following the lecture, Rotarians had the chance to ask Dr. Stevenson questions. ■ For more information about influenza — including facts, symptoms, vaccination information and more — visit cdc.gov/flu

Man stabbed in La Jolla Driver asleep at the wheel crashes, causing driveway argument minor power outage A brawl in the driveway of a La Jolla man’s
home Feb. 5 ended when the resident was dragged a short distance by the suspect’s getaway car and then broke loose, San Diego police said. The suspected assailant went home, but his mother persuaded him to return and talk to police, Lt. Robert Daun said. Both men were treated for their injuries at a hospital, then the 29-year-old suspect was jailed on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, Daun said. He said the woman who drove the suspect away was not arrested because she got scared when the victim leaned into her open car window. She rolled up the window, briefly trapping the victim’s arm and dragging him until he fell onto the roadway. Daun said he didn’t know what the two men, who are acquaintances, started arguing about inside the victim’s Hidden Valley Road home about 10:30 a.m. They took the dispute outdoors and started scuffling, punching each other and rolling down the steep driveway. The victim, age 40, was stabbed in the back and arm, suffering minor wounds. The other man yelled at his female companion to get into their gray Lexus, and as she drove up, he jumped in, Daun said. The suspected assailant and the woman returned about 11 a.m. to talk to police.
Police seek runaway driver San Diego Police are looking for the driver in a police pursuit that ended early Feb. 4 with two suspects running on foot near the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Officers say they spotted a car speeding near Monte Vista and Fern around 3:30 a.m. When police tried to pull over the driver, the vehicle drove off. Police say they chased the driver for approximately 30 seconds before ending the pursuit. As officers canvassed the area looking for the vehicle, they found a white Ford sedan that matched the suspect vehicle description near Calle De La Plata and Paseo Del Ocaso north of Torrey Pines Road. The sedan was parked in a driveway and two men were inside the vehicle. When officers approached, the men ran away, according to police. The passenger was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of being intoxicated in public. Officers were looking for the 21-year-old driver of the vehicle.
At 11:30 p.m. Feb. 3, an 18-year-old man fell asleep at the wheel of his car in La Jolla, sheered a power pole and rolled his car on Torrey Pines Road, near Ivanhoe Avenue East. The collision caused a brief outage to the area. The teen was not seriously hurt. Police said he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He was not cited.

How to WRECK Your Retirement with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
Dental Implants: Best remedy for damaged/broken teeth BY MARTI GACIOCH Dental implants are the best solution for repairing broken or damaged teeth, said Alicia Kennedy, D.D.S., whose practice is located at 7334 Girard Ave., Suite 101 in La Jolla. While antiquated traditional remedies for broken or damaged teeth are less costly, they lack the longevity, quality and health benefits of using dental implants. Dr. Kennedy has expertly placed implants since 1987, leaving older methods behind years ago. While she used to do partial dentures, bridges and removable pieces in the past, she’s moved far away from those techniques. “They’re not good for the gums and patients still get cavities,” Dr. Kennedy said. “We prefer doing implants because implants are easier to brush and floss, and they have a 98 percent success rate. An implant is like your own tooth; you won’t notice any difference, except you’ll never have to think about a cavity or a root canal.” Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth, she said. Built to last, implants are a long-term solution to addressing tooth decay. Bridges usually last only 5-7 years and with proper care, 10 years. But they eventually may need replacement. Implants only require periodic adjustments, and if properly placed and cared for, they can last a patient’s lifetime. Strong and stable, dental implants restore a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and
By overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care
LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

Options to pay for Long-Term Health Care Costs Dr. Alicia Kennedy functions like a natural tooth. Older option fixes can lead to bone deterioration and may interfere with eating, speaking, smiling and other activities of everyday life, said Dr. Kennedy, who added the many advantages of dental implants, include improved oral health, comfort, appearance, speech and self-esteem; and of course, improved ease of eating. While most patients are good candidates for implants, some with health issues, such as compromised immune systems from chronic diseases as diabetes, etc., should consult with Dr. Kennedy and their primary physician to discuss any

FROM MANSIONIZATION, A1 as Item No. 9. The committee investigated what other cities have done to deter mansionization — building a house too large for its lot and out of character with the neighborhood — and explored the feasibility of Item No. 9. The item offers another way for developers to avoid a costly, time-consuming Coastal Development Permit. It reads: “Create a new exemption from the requirement to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for certain single dwelling unit development and demolition of existing structures if the development (is) located on a single lot zoned for single dwelling unit residential and must comply with 90 percent of the applicable height and 80 percent of the applicable floor area permitted by the underlying base zone.” Finding the city language ineffective at solving the problem, the ad-hoc committee ultimately recommended suspending action on Item No. 9 in favor of the creation of a coastal overlay zone with tailored criteria for coastal residential development. The San Diego Planning Commission was slated to hear the city’s recommendation in late January, prompting a deadline for the ad-hoc committee to produce a report. Although the San Diego Planning Commission voted to hear the coastal development language at another time pending further review, the proposed language will still be heard at the San Diego Smart Growth and Land Use committee and then the San Diego City Council. Because of the deadline, Wampler said the committee had to submit their report sooner than they would have liked, and did not feel their work was complete. With more time, they could craft the tailored criteria and circulate it for community consensus. “It’s the work that matters … our preference would be to continue the work to completion, either as a sub-committee or as an independent group with a liaison to the LJCPA,” she said. In support, LJCPA trustee Fran Zimmerman said, “By being an ad-hoc committee of the LJCPA, they have been subject to restrictions and the Brown Act. … But what they are
present it as a package to City Hall with a pretty red bow and say we all agree on this.” As such, LaCava moved to thank the ad-hoc committee for their efforts, accept the report and ask they continue their work as an independent committee with a delegate to LJCPA. The motion carried 10-4-1.

Further, the tailored criteria, once complete, could be better disseminated and yield a more complete community consensus. Uniform agreement on the building criteria, argued LJCPA second vice president Joe LaCava, is the only way to spur “real change” at City Hall. “There is no doubt in my mind that this problem is real. … But the only way we’re going to get real change is building community consensus and

The issue of mansionization (Item No. 9) was not the only proposed change to the Land Development Code LJCPA members discussed at its monthly meeting. Architect and LJCPA trustee candidate Phil Merten presented on Items No. 24 and 26, which address visibility and calculation of Floor Area Ratio, respectively. Regarding calculation of Floor Area Ratio, he explained, “Currently, the Land Development Code says if you have residential space, and an open area underneath that space … it has to be calculated into the gross floor area. For example, if you have an open parking space under that residential area, that parking area is calculated into the gross floor area. The code change is to not count that area. When you don’t calculate that area … it is going to change the appearance and the bulk and size of mixed-use buildings. The buildings are going to get bigger and bulkier as a result.” Following the presentation, LJCPA voted to oppose the recommended change, 10-1-1. Second, regarding visibility areas, Merten said, “At street intersections and where driveways enter streets, vehicles should have a good line of sight so they do not run into pedestrians on the sidewalk or back unsafely into traffic. Those requirements are codified right now. The code change allows the city engineer to modify those requirements — to increase the, decrease them or eliminate them as they see fit.” LJCPA voted to oppose the second proposed change and suggest the city continue with current coding.

“I met my husband at the gym. I’m a personal trainer. At first he wasn’t my client, but then he became my client. I have a rule not to date any clients, but I couldn’t resist him. We’ve been married for seven years now.” — Lyubov Kornilova
“I met my wife in Mexico in 1994. She was on vacation at the beach and we kept a friendship over 11 years. In 2005, we started dating. In 2006, I proposed. In 2007, we got married on the same beach where we met.” — Tayve Aburdo

“He was a friend of my bestfriend’s brother. I was in my third year of college and he had already graduated from college and had been in the Navy. I thought he was a catch. We were married 40 years before he passed away.” — Doris Cheshire
“I met my wife at WindanSea Beach. We both went there a lot and she waited a year for me to introduce myself, so I finally did and we’ve been together ever since — 25 years now.” — Don Thompson
“We met through family. My dad saw my (now) husband playing golf and thought he had a really great swing and went up to talk to him. Our parents arranged a meeting, and the rest is history. We’ve been married for two years.” — Sima Acharya

Leak overlooked, year after year I’m a snowbird and only spend winter in La Jolla but I can always look for ward to seeing the same section of wet sidewalk adjacent to a mini lake on Neptune at Gravilla during my daily walk along WindanSea Beach. It’s always there no matter how beautiful the weather is, year after year. My guess is that there must be a water leak somewhere that no one seems to be concer ned about. — Don Martin DON MARTIN

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Show me proof of the sea lion plan I see momentum is gathering for approval of the rolling sea lion barriers, but I have not seen the data that proves their placement will stop sea lions from getting to the top “festering” level they are meant to protect. Before we allow our cliffs to be drilled and these eyesores installed, could the La Jolla Light so kindly dig up and share why we think this will work? My ideal proof would be a month-long time lapse of the area during the winter clearly showing only 2-3 points of entry are utilized and no more, especially at high tide with a decent swell. I would also like to see a drawing of A model of the proposed sea lion where these cables would be installed. I’m getting the feeling they could be cylinders barrier
much larger than they are portrayed.
— Cindy Hazuka Editor’s Note: We will check with the Town Council Coastal Committee behind the proposal to get the details you seek. Committee chair Steve Haskins has said the idea is based on success stories reported in other communities and discussions with government agencies that have expertise in marine mammal management.
Saving 50 percent rule hurts some homeowners It was disappointing to read that the ad-hoc committee on mansionization has managed to block the removal of the 50 percent rule. (The 50 percent rule exempts developers from requiring a coastal development permit should they retain 50 percent of the structure’s walls.) As a homeowner and amateur woodworker who would like to remodel my existing
home to add a basement for a woodshop, the 50 percent rule is a huge inconvenience and expense. Under current regulations, I face the choice of constructing an elaborate support structure to suspend termite-ridden 2x4s in the air while adding a basement, or remove the 2x4s and go through the expensive and lengthy process of a coastal commission permit. Replacing the 50 percent rule with the proposed regulations would have greatly simplified the process for homeowners like myself. But unfortunately the people on the ad-hoc committee have managed to obstruct the removal of a ludicrous regulation with the consequence that homeowners like myself become collateral damage to their agenda. Is it too much to ask that we would have a sensible building code that allows homeowners to add a basement to their house if they want without the interference of those with unrelated agendas? Apparently so. — Chip Burwell SEE OUR READERS WRITE, A29

High Blood Pressure ■ Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. More than 67 million Americans have high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are 4 times more likely to die from a stroke and 3 times more likely to die from heart disease, compared to those with normal blood pressure. ■ High blood pressure often shows no signs or symptoms, which is why having your blood pressure checked regularly is important. ■ Blood pressure is written as two numbers. The first (systolic) number represents the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second (diastolic) number represents the pressure in your vessels when your heart rests between beats. BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS ■ Normal systolic: less than 120 mmHg diastolic: less than 80mmHg ■ At risk (prehypertension) systolic: 120–139 mmHg diastolic: 80–89 mmHg ■ High systolic: 140 mmHg or higher diastolic: 90 mmHg or higher

Injuries are more common in this age group, so activities will naturally be modified; however there is no reason to stop exercising at any particular age. If nothing else, walk daily!

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED FROM A27) Lent’s a good time to go vegan Wednesday marked the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry. But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to Christ. It helps reduce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation and animal abuse. Dozens of medical reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer and other killer diseases. A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being beaten, caged, crowded, deprived, mutilated and shocked. Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Christ’s powerful message of compassion and love by adopting a meat-free diet for Lent and beyond. After all, it’s the diet mandated in Genesis I-29 and observed in the Garden of Eden. Our supermarket offers a rich array of plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, as well as the more traditional vegetables, fruits and grains. Entering “vegan recipes” in an online search offers more products, recipes and transition tips than one can use. — Sheldon Daniels GREG WIEST

he Hausmann Quartet has joined the Maritime Museum of San Diego to launch “Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime,” a quarterly Sunday afternoon concert series aboard the Berkeley, an 1898 steam ferryboat that operated for 60 years on San Francisco Bay. Concerts inside the McKinney deck of this National Historic Landmark docked in downtown San Diego next to Star of India, will explore the evolution of the string quartet through the lens of Joseph Haydn’s quartet cycle. The programming will set his works alongside those of master composers from this era and back to his musical ancestors. “The ferryboat provides an extraordinary venue from which to experience the music of this master while taking in San Diego’s picturesque harbor scenery,” said Mark Montijo, Maritime Museum vice-president. The inaugural season opens Sunday, Feb. 21 with future concerts May 15, Sept. 25 and Nov. 20. All concerts start at 4 p.m. with the museum open for touring (free with ticket) from 9 a.m. Refreshments at 3 p.m. Concerts will also include commentary from UC Santa Barbara musicologist Derek Katz.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN hen it comes to planning the August Jewel Ball, the signature fundraiser for the La Jolla-based women’s philanthropy group Las Patronas, everything is done in house and with a purpose — from the invitations to the decorations to the search for potential beneficiaries. It’s a tradition that has been in effect since the first Jewel Ball, 70 years ago. To the sounds of power drills, hammering, sliding boxes and laughter, the ladies were hard at work in the infamous Las Patronas warehouse last week, making the decorations for the 2016 Jewel Ball, “Shangri-La,” set for Aug. 6 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Taking a break from their duties, Jewel Ball chair Kathryn Gayner and new member Nicole Hall-Brown sat down with La Jolla Light to discuss the organization’s his-tory — or should we say her-story? Using dusted off program books from Jewel Balls past, meeting minutes and memorabilia, the women are making a commemorative book to celebrate the organization’s 70th year — and they’ve learned a lot in the process. Las Patronas was formed in 1946 by Kathryne Hosmer and 13 others who wanted to host an event to raise money for the United States Service to China organization in the aftermath of World War II, Gayner explained. They held the first Jewel Ball as a fundraiser. “But they didn’t really know what they were doing yet,” she said, noting that originally, there was the Jewel Ball and then another party to also raise money. “They were just shooting from the hip. But they realized how successful the first Jewel Ball was and how people opened up when there was a cause to give to, so they formalized.” Added Hall-Brown, “Going through SEE LAS PATRONAS, B8

La Jolla Cultural Partners
he downside of living in the same house for 43 years is that you don’t always get around to cleaning out the filing cabinets in a timely manner. And that’s how I recently, in a fit of organizational zeal, came across this souvenir photo given to me by the FBI from State Mutual Saving’s security cameras. It shows the miscreant who pointed a 45-calibre blue steel automatic at me and the teller from a distance of two feet in the course of robbing the bank during the first week of April in 1978. (Please note IBM Selectric in background for teller to type in entries to your savings passbook.) Thirty-eight years have passed, and no, NRA, you aren’t getting any donations from me. I never want to be that close to the business end of a gun again. Actually, the FBI agent gave me the photo so that I could call them in case I ever saw the man again; he was thought to live in the area. I sincerely doubted the robber wore this disguise around on a routine basis. Still, it would have been dismaying to find myself browsing best sellers at Warwick’s, suddenly recognize the floppy hat and fake sideburns, and realize “Oh s—t! That’s him!” But I’d been the only customer in the bank at the
time and none of the employees lived in La Jolla so I was their best candidate. This security camera photo is actually an (excessively long) lead-in to the security cameras that my husband Olof and I just had installed. There’s just a few too many car thefts and car vandalisms in our neighborhood these days. The folks across the street had their car rolled out of the driveway in the middle of the night. But now, we’d be able to watch them do it on video! Plenty of people have told us that security cameras rarely result in anyone being arrested or convicted of a crime. But as I’ve written about before, we’ve had our front fence taken out three times, the second and third times by hit-and-run drivers. (The 86-year-old lady in the ‘49 Dodge who did the first one may have tried to make a break for it but I was faster.) On another occasion, some reprobates seriously vandalized 50 cars on our street, including ours. So even if the police weren’t interested in making them accountable, I could see myself getting in touch with my inner vigilante and sending my cousin Guido over to chat with them about it. The folks who installed our video cameras
told us that pretty much everyone who installs them has at least two motives. One is, of course, security. The other, the installer said, is not infrequently related to dog poop. Seriously. People want to know once and for all whose dog is inflicting feculent ordure on their lawn. Dare to deny it now, scumbag neighbor! Other clients, particularly those who work away from home, apparently want to know how long the gardener was really there and more to the point, was he actually gardening or talking on his cell phone? Did the pool guy just throw some chemicals in and leave? What time did the cleaning lady actually get there? For us, I have to confess that our alternate motive was the postman. We always end up on a postal route that none of the regular carriers ever bid for and hence have had a long series of frequently-well-meaning but generally inept subs who manage not to deliver mail for days at a time. Technically, we’re a “managed service point” such that carriers are required to come up to our house every day and scan a bar code proving they were there. Not that we have any way of finding out if they actually did. But now we know for sure. A friend who has outdoor security cameras warned me that they are so much fun, I might end up cancelling cable. And I confess she’s right. When I’m sitting at Rubio’s waiting for my daily fish taco fix, I pull out my phone (on which I can see my cameras) to see what’s happening at home. Frankly, usually not much. Sometimes somebody is putting a bag of dog poop in our trash. (Used to annoy me but I’m over it.) I watch the neighbors unloading their groceries, and

Lobster for your Valentines
Paint the town red for Valentine’s Day
C
elebrate Feb. 14 symbolically with red foods — not red meat nor red velvet cupcakes, rather the red-hot dynamos that bolster the immune system, boost energy levels, and ratchet up the libido. Passionate Pom: Egyptians filled royal sarcophagi with pomegranates to bestow eternal life on the dead, while this symbol of fertility was used in exotic dishes over the ages. Low cal, high fiber pomegranates have been found to keep bad cholesterol at bay, put the skids on sticky blood platelets, and neutralize free radicals that cause cellular damage. The powerful pom has even been extolled as nature’s Viagra. So sprinkle some seeds on green salads, oatmeal or Greek yogurt, or whip up a pomegranate puree to enliven wild-caught salmon, roasted chicken, Persian stews or frozen treats. Little Tart: The petite yet potent cranberry was recognized by Native Americans as a healer well before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. The noble cranberry is rife with Vitamins A for ocular health, B to temper stress, C to rev up the immune system, and K to regulate blood clotting, along with anti-adhesive antioxidants, making it bladder’s best friend. This prevents and treats pesky urinary tract infections by repelling bacteria from urinary tract linings. Unsweetened cranberry juice will pack the best anti-bacterial punch. Cherry on Top: The ancient Greeks pioneered the cultivation of cherries that has blossomed into
over 1,000 varieties today. This superfruit is packed with anthocyanin pigments for alleviating achy arthritic joints by blocking inflammatory enzymes; fiber to act as nature’s roto-rooter; melatonin to regulate circadian sleep patterns, and quercetin to reduce cardio risk factors. Cherry up with sauces to drizzle on desserts or pork dishes, toss dried drupes in quick breads, scones or green salads, or munch a handful of raw ones straight-up. Love Apples: Known in ancient Mediterranean countries as the Love Apple for its alleged aphrodisiac qualities, the tomato was soon discovered to also be a treasure-trove of Vitamin C and lycopene, the latter a carotene pigment to lower stroke risks, and protect the family jewels from prostate cancer. Surprisingly, cooking tomatoes makes lycopene more readily absorbable by the body, and since it is fat-soluble too, a drizzle of olive oil will optimize its bioavailability. Seedy Sweeties: The most popular and Vitamin C-rich berry in the world, the strawberry is not only recommended for dulling a throbbing headache and combating the flu and the gout, but for boosting energy and removing tartar from teeth. That’s something to smile about! 92 percent H2O, the pink-fleshed watermelon is naturally high in lycopene, potassium and electrolytes. Containing citrulline that relaxes blood vessels, the mighty melon has been likened to the little blue pill. Blend this behemoth beauty with heirloom tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella and basil, or puree into a
Whether sweet or spicy, red pepper is loaded with more Vitamin C than an orange, and a good dose of Vitamin A to boost skin, bone and ocular health. Raw or roasted red peppers add a pop of color to every dish, especially this mouth-watering lobster from Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room, with love. ■ Serves 6 ■ Ingredients • Six 8-ounce Spiny Lobster Tails • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature • 1/4 cup chopped chives • 1 teaspoon orange zest • 2 tablespoons chopped Thai basil • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Poetry’s the star in Globe farce ‘The Metromaniacs’
D
irector Michael Kahn certainly knew what he was doing when he commissioned playwright David Ives to adapt Alexis Piron’s 17th century farce “La Métromanie” for a modern audience. The result is a laugh a minute. The very oh-so-French fun takes place in 18th-century Paris where poets are celebrated and renowned. Francalou (Adam LeFevre) is a wealthy gentleman who thrives on writing his own plays, and plans to stage one in his Parisian home to draw out his poetry-mad daughter Lucille (Amelia Pedlow), and perhaps find her a mate. But this ditsy dish becomes interested in Dorante (Cary Donaldson) who falls for her head over heels. The only problem is, Dorante’s the son of her father’s sworn enemy. Luckily, the poised-for-prominence poet Damis appears on scene (Christian Conn), and though he’s looking for someone else (the mysterious poetess Meriadec de Peauduncqville), Francalou advises him that Lucille is the treasure he seeks. Damis’ valet, Mondor (Michael Goldstrom), has a great time getting his fingers into this brewing situation. Now it’s time for Lucille’s maid, Lisette (Dina Thomas), to step in and further the confusion. Ives has written what could be a three-ring circus under any tent. The stage’s beautiful scenic design by James Noone makes the characters’ mix-ups even more compelling as they duck in and out of trees and garden scenery, using clever and comical rhyming dialogue to explain everything that is happening. And things are happening in lightning speed (a big accomplishment of the cast and director). The cast is superb. Conn is the energizer bunny, writing his poetry and hopping all around the stage, totally into his character. As Dorante, his rival, who couldn’t write a poem to save his life or win the lovely Lucille,
JIM COX
Adam LeFevre as Francalou, Dina Thomas as Lisette and Cary Donaldson as Dorante in the West Coast premiere of David Ives’ ‘The Metromaniacs.’ Donaldson excels in portraying a man frozen by feelings of love. Still, that doesn’t keep him from entering the whirlwind mix-ups. Thomas, as Lisette, delightfully portrays the one who has her eye on the prize. When playing two different characters at a time, she’s extremely amusing. Damis’ Uncle Baliveau (Peter Kybart) is a staunch addition to the stock of characters and Damis' valet, Mondor, keeps the comedy roulette spinning. But it’s Pedlow as Lucille who steals the show. When she’s taught by Lisette some feminine wiles to win and woo, she captivates every scene. For those who think poetry is not their thing, prepare to be tickled with a feather. In this great farce, the vice of verse and the hysterics on stage bemuse and captivate; certainly an accomplishment for Ives, Kahn and the Globe’s production team. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘“The Metromaniacs,” runs through March 6 on the Shiley Stage at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

‘The Last Match’ serves up life lessons at The Old Globe
JIM COX
Real-life fiancés Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario star as couple Tim and Mallory in the world premiere of ‘The Last Match’ at The Old Globe Theatre.
BY DIANA SAENGER The world premiere of Anna Ziegler’s “The Last Match,” follows the competition between two tennis players. Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch (“Bethany” at The Globe 2014), the play ups the contest components through the involvement of their wives, and looks at how family and everyday life become a major factor of the game. Sergei Sergeyev (Alex Mickiewicz), representing Russia at the U.S. Open tennis semifinals, faces off against American superstar Tim Porter (Patrick J. Adams). Sitting on the sidelines are their wives — Tim’s Mallory (Troian Bellisario) and Sergei’s Galina (Natalia Payne). One can only wonder what goes through all of their minds as the matches play out. Juggling very busy schedules, the engaged-in-real-life Adams and Bellisario said they were delighted to earn roles in “The Last Match.” Bellisario has a huge resume of film, TV and theatrical work and is an actress on TV’s “Pretty Little Liars.” Adams, who plays Mike Ross on TV’s “Suits,” is a producer, director and actor who has garnered Drama Critics Circle Award nominations and several Ovation Awards for his work. “This play is brutally honest and both of us were excited to get on the stage,” Adams said. “For me, it’s the idea that being at the top of your game and successful doesn’t mean you get to sidestep all the regular problems people have. My character has had an exciting last five years of his life professionally, but finds a little more money in his pocket doesn’t solve everything. (Playwright) Anna did a beautiful job of getting into the heads of two people who were suffering on different sides of that.” Said Bellisario, “Anna captured my character as someone who was once a player and now takes a supportive role to someone who is exceeding at a level she couldn’t. There are a lot of elements I connected with and was able to explore.” The plot surrounding Tim versus Sergei, finds one at the end of his career and the other at the beginning. They have led different lives with different struggles. Outside of the game, the challenge is how they connect in the themes of family
love, their journey through the game, and the inevitable conclusions. Announcing the production, Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein said its basis in tennis serves as a metaphor that is both witty and probing. Adams, who is reacquainting himself with the game, agreed. “Tennis is a place-holder with universal themes like success, marriage, mortality, family, children, legacy and things we spend a lot of time focusing on,” he said. “What I found most provoking about tennis is how lonely it is. When you read player’s biographies you get a sense of how insular they are. Some say it’s the loneliest sport in the world. You’re not surrounded by teammates; you can’t speak to a coach. You’re standing far from your opponent, there’s no communication or physical interaction. Anna said she always wondered what goes through their minds.” Bellisario added, “I think Anna wanted to examine an athlete’s last match and whether an aging athlete could still do what he did when he was younger. It’s like real life where people are contemplating the end of their careers and transitioning into late-adulthood and retirement. This play examines two people in these situations.” The actors attest that audiences will enjoy this play for both its sports theme and its ponderings about how we live our lives. “Even though it’s about tennis, at its core is happiness,” Bellisario said. “Does it make you happy when you get what you want?” Adams added, “After seeing the play, I hope the audience members start a discussion about their sense of self-worth and value. It made me think maybe we should be pushing our energy toward other things, like grounding ourselves and our family and loved ones, and using guideposts to know who we are rather than looking atexternal things.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Last Match” plays out Feb. 13-March 13 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

True or False? The most popular theory about Valentine’s Day origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn’t want Roman men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret weddings. For this, Valentine was jailed and executed.

Wikipedia, the holiday did indeed evolve from legends about Saint Valentine of Rome who was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. During his imprisonment, Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine,” as a farewell.

Nicole Hall-Brown holds the first Jewel Ball program from 1946.
June Fabiani packs away years of planning books and notes in the Las Patronas warehouse in Miramar.
2016 Jewel Ball chair Kathryn Gayner holds a program book from the 10th Jewel Ball in 1956 — when actor Gregory Peck was in attendance.
FROM LAS PATRONAS, B1 the minutes from the planning meetings before the first Jewel Ball was hysterical. They tried different things and were willing to learn from them later. Over time, they developed a formula (including just having one big event).” The founding members created bylaws and quickly decided to give their event proceeds to more than one beneficiary, a tradition that, to date, has resulted in the distribution of $19 million among hundreds of San Diego charities. “A year after they formed, Las Patronas gave a donation to the children’s wing at Scripps Hospital and we’ve had a partnership with them ever since,” Gayner said. As the Jewel Balls became more and more successful, more and more money was available to give away. “Some years, the women would get minor grants requests and other years they would get major ones. It depended on the needs of the community. Some requests were for $200 or $250 and others would be $1,300 — which was a lot of money back then,” she said. As such, the ladies of Las Patronas see their history as a mirror to the development of La Jolla and San Diego at large, revealing the greatest needs at different points in time. At the Jan. 20 beneficiaries luncheon, more than $400,000 was distributed to the 2015 Jewel Ball major beneficiaries. To save costs and give as much as possible to their grantees, the ladies have always created the Jewel Ball themselves. In fact, the first Jewel Ball dinner was a founding member’s chicken-and-mushroom dish! Further, each member volunteered with her specific skillset to assist however she could, whether that be outreach, advertising solicitation, scheduling, menu composition, decor and more. Hall-Brown is a second generation Las Patronas member, and recalled her mother lending her artistic talents to make decorations. Whenever decor items needed to be purchased, they were stored for possible reuse at a later Jewel Ball. More often than not, hollow pillars and large flats were painted over so they could accent the ever-changing Ball themes. “We try to maintain that because our goal is to give as much as we can to each beneficiary,” Gayner said. “At the beginning of each design cycle, we look at what we have, but also how to make it new and different. We want Jewel Ball guests to see

The pillars used for the 2015 Jewel Ball ‘Manifique’ are re-painted and repurposed for the 2016 theme ‘Shangri-La.’ something they haven’t seen before, because this is a thank you to our underwriters and donors, so we want it to be a special evening.” But for as many things that have stayed the same, several things have changed over time. Member June Fabiani said, “Our membership has changed a lot. There are a lot more working women in the group; a lot more single women, whether by choice or by divorce; more women doing everything on
their own; and not everyone at Las Patronas is wealthy anymore, some people work fulltime, sometimes more than one job, and still find time to help out.” Hall-Brown added, “When my mom was in Las Patronas, no one worked. They were homemakers and were all married.” Carrying that social standard into the program books, the women didn’t even use their own names – they were all Mrs. and
then identified with their husband’s name. Case in point, the 1952 Jewel Ball decorations chair was Mrs. Walton MacConnell. “Now instead of going to Mrs. Gayner, things come to me with my name on them,” Gayner said. “The era has changed – women are more empowered – and we embrace that to the fullest extent because those strong qualities have helped us maintain our organization.” With more working women with less free time than their homemaking predecessors, the membership term limits have also changed. Originally, membership was seven years. Over time, it was reduced to six years with an optional seventh. Each year, when new members are brought on, they are grouped in “classes” and given a nickname, primarily as a bonding element. During their time, each member commits to helping however they can, whether that’s using skills they already have or trying something new. Each member must also participate in the search for beneficiaries. “We commit a certain amount each year to our major beneficiaries, this year it’s $400,000, and we promise to raise at least that much,” Gayner said. “After that, the rest goes to the minor beneficiaries.” Las Patronas conducts a thorough vetting of the organizations that request grants, including a site visit, and have strict guidelines for what these groups must provide. If a group requests a van, they must provide proof they can insure it, store it and care for it. Recalling her first experience with a grant request a few years ago (for beds to St. Vincent de Paul’s family shelter), Gayner said, “It really exposes need in San Diego, because there is a huge need, and when you see these things first hand, you want the Jewel Ball to be successful so badly. I was crying uncontrollably when I presented the findings from my site visit that year. “We need to make sure these organizations are going to be good stewards of our underwriters’ funds. I don’t know when that process was developed, but that has been the process for a long time.” Looking ahead Gayner added, “We want to show the San Diego community we’re here to stay and will continue to support and raise money to help all these non-profits. We want to maintain what our founding members set out to accomplish.” —For more information about the organization, visit laspatronas.org

It’s not all black and white at the New Commons Theatre BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Vantage Theatre, a small non-profit company known for producing offbeat, site-specific plays, will present “Rasheeda Speaking” on Feb. 19, at the newly-named La Jolla Commons Theatre, located in the century-old Congregational Church on Cave Street. Vantage is run by a couple of longtime La Jollans, executive director Dori Salois and her husband, Robert Salerno, and this time, Salois, who usually stays behind the scenes, will be onstage. The play is about two receptionists in a doctor’s office — one black, the other white — who are driven apart by the doctor, and find themselves in a power struggle that spins wildly out of control. Written by Joel Drake Johnson, an award-winning, Chicago-based playwright, it received a nomination for best new play off-Broadway after its New York production last year, which The New York Times called “exquisitely tense ... cringingly funny ... incendiary.” “It’s a play that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time,” Salois said. “The theme — that racism is no less violent today despite being veiled in innuendo and politeness — is very timely, and I recognized the dynamics of healthcare workers and social issues because I’ve been in the health care industry for decades, on both coasts. I read about the play, ordered a copy as soon as it was published, and immediately said: I lived this! I want to bring it to San Diego!
And I want to play Ileen!” To play Ileen’s co-worker, Jacklyn, Salois chose Milena Philips, with whom she has worked before. “She’s terrific — soulful, generous, risk-taking — just wonderful,” Salois said. “And Steve Oliver, who’s played doctors on soap operas, is coming down from L.A. to play the doctor. He’s so good, and good-looking, too!” Rounding out the cast is June Gottleib, as Rose, an elderly patient. “She’s the one who ignites the play’s central issue, and Junie gives so many layers to the character — she just gets it,” Salois said. “The cast is a real ensemble, and as things unfold, you find yourself sympathizing with one character, then another, laughing at the paranoia of each person but relating to it too. And then ... well, there’s a surprise ending.” Despite the play’s title, there is no Rasheeda in the cast. “It’s a term the playwright uses to describe middle-aged black women and their daily struggle,” Salois explained. Besides playing one of the leads, Salois is also directing, in her own fashion. “I’m very democratic,” she said. “I cast professional actors, and I encourage them to put their two cents in, especially since I’m also onstage. And my husband, Robert, is there — at this point, I’d say we’re actually co-directing.” “Rasheeda Speaking” is a 90-minute, one-act, intermission-less play, which will be

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG
San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263
Exercising with Spider Veins The beginning of the year often bombards us with messages of fitness, piggybacking onto all those New Year’s goals. I often stress the importance of exercise in the prevention of spider veins and varicose veins, and in fact, exercise is the best bet for promoting healthy veins and preventing vein disease. In general, vein disease is most closely associated with careers that involve prolonged sitting or standing, as well as pregnancy and genetic predisposition. But some athletes and other highly active people are often shocked to learn they have symptomatic vein disease, presenting with
tired and achy legs. Even young, healthy athletes can get varicose or spider veins, and there are some exercises that even exacerbate symptoms. So what exercises, then, should you do if you have symptoms of vein disease? What is safe? What is important to remember is that the underlying cause of vein disease is venous reflux. Some exercises improve this, slowing the progression of venous reflux— the reversal of flow in your leg veins into varicose veins—while other exercises only enflame the condition. When you exercise, blood is pumped to your heart from your calf muscles and veins in the arch of the foot. Strong calf muscles promote healthy circulation, minimizing vein disease. However, strenuous exercise puts strain on venous circulation. Blood flowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure
by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. The Best Exercise: Walking, since it is a low-impact activity that serves to stretch and strengthen your calf pump, improving blood flow. Ideally, make walking a regular activity, for at least 30 minutes each a day (a minimum of five days a week). Other tricks you can use to fit in regular steps are to park in the farthest lot or structure at work, or park at the top of your structure, walking all the way down and back up the ramp instead of taking the stairs or elevator. Be Wary of: Running. While running and jogging are wonderful aerobic exercises for your calves and feet, these activities may impact your joint health. If possible, run on a synthetic track or grass to minimize impact. Great Exercises: Stationary Bikes and
Elliptical Machines. Both types of exercises provide low-impact, high-circulatory benefits to your calf muscles, improving pump blood flow without stress on joints and bones. Bikes in general strengthen and stretch your muscles while you pedal. Varicose-Very Bad Exercise #1: Weightlifting. This often puts that abdominal strain on the vena cava, sending blood pooling back in your legs. While weightlifting is often recommended for peri- to post-menopausal women, the focus should be more on resistance training. For a more beneficial routine using weights, follow the basic techniques for proper lifting, such as lower weight and high rep routines, exhaling when lifting, and following up with an aerobic activity such as walking or riding a stationary bike in order to promote circulation.

Center offers stirring sounds from Thailand, Zimbabwe, Iran BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT he Center for World Music, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013, started 2016 by co-sponsoring a concert by Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach and announcing a trio of cool-sounding lecture/performances in collaboration with the Kalabash School of Music and the Arts in La Jolla. Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African choral group first introduced to the world in 1986 on Paul Simon’s landmark album “Graceland,” wowed the sold-out crowd at the Belly Up on Jan. 19, as part of their “Singing for Peace Around the World” tour. Known for soulful harmonies and exuberant rhythms, the group won a Grammy (their fourth) for Best World Music in 2013. This year, they’re nominated again — for the 16th time — and may well take home Grammy No. 5 at the Awards ceremony Feb. 7. LBM was founded 56 years ago by Joseph Shabalala, a farmboy-turned-factory worker, who put together a group of relatives to sing songs based on traditional sounds of the Zulu people. Shabalala isn’t touring these
T
days, but four of his sons were onstage, in what was a heart-stirring performance that suggested a mix of gospel, hip-hop and African Rockettes. Most of the words were in Zulu but the feelings came through bright and clear. In the audience were several VIPs from the Center for World Music: CEO Lewis “Pete” Peterman, and two of the teaching artists who design special programs for schoolchildren around San Diego County, Garit Imhoff and Nomsa Burkhardt. Peterman, who was for years director of ethnomusicology at SDSU’s School of Dance & Music, has been CWM’s president since 2005. “I came to San Diego State in 1980, specifically to be part of their world music program, and I joined the CWM Board in 1983 to help develop cross-cultural programs here and abroad,” he said. “When enthusiasm for world music began fading among concertgoers, we decided to focus on the next generation, and started our programs of music and dance in the K-12 schools.” Imhoff, who has been funded by grants from the NEA and the California Arts
At the Belly Up Tavern concert, Center for World Music CEO Lewis Peterman with teaching artists Garit Imhoff and Nomsa Burkhardt
Council, is teaching third-graders at the French-American School in La Jolla to play the mbira, a Zimbabwean thumb piano. Trained in Zimbabwe, and part of a local group called Zimbeat, he’s an expert on the instrument, and says that the students are tremendously receptive. “The exposure to something that’s not familiar excites their imagination,” he said. “They’re so relieved to have something different to do, and with the mbira, they can get the basics fast.” Burkhardt, who teaches South African singing, drumming and dance, was born in Soweto, and shares the Zulu heritage of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, whom she first met years ago — in Philadelphia. After leading her own dance troupe and touring the world, she was an artist-in-residence at Bird Rock Elementary School (2012 to 2014). Starting Feb. 27, CWM and the Kalabash School of Music and the Arts will present “Passport to Worlds of Music,” a series of lecture/performances of music from Thailand, Zimbabwe and Iran, with proceeds going to support their programs in the schools. CWM’s new executive director, Monica Emery, said she is looking forward to
Two mbiras, Zimbabwean ‘thumb pianos’ that sound like music boxes. The larger is played for ancestor spirits; the smaller is the type used for teaching in schools.
LAUREN SHARON
In the first of the Passport to Worlds of Music concerts, Christopher Adler will play the khaen at the Kalabash School in La Jolla on Feb. 27. introducing more people of all ages to the delights of world music. “We have an amazing and very diverse community of artists here, and we like to celebrate the diversity, not look for similarities to the kinds of music we already know,” she said. “It’s almost like wine. You start out just drinking it, and then maybe you take a wine-tasting class and learn to taste notes of blueberry and vanilla. Our Passport concerts take place in an intimate setting, with the musicians actually walking you through their music, giving you special insights and inviting you to interact with them, as if they were in your living room. You can bring your own wine, and we’ll have some snacks, too.” Emery’s one-and-a-half-year-old son, Kai, is already experiencing musical diversity in a “Music Together” class at the Jewish Community Center, where little ones are exposed to music from different cultures. “I want him to be a good audience member,” she said.

Artist Cree Scudder exhibits at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters Bird Rock Coffee Roasters will feature the work of La Jolla artist Cree Scudder for the month of February. “Certainly if you are the observant type, you will recognize that there are lots of flowers in this grouping,” Scudder said. “They’ve made me smile and feel thankful for each day of sunshine, rain, stars or moonlit nights. I’m happy and perhaps sharing my frame of mind is a good thing.” Taking a minute to step back, one will recognize that Scudder’s palette is the cohesive juice that binds this grouping. And, you can see that her flower paintings and collages also are bonded together by texture, style and movement. Scudder praises the Athenaeum School of Arts for her instructors who have influenced her art, especially Reed Cardwell and Vicki Walsh. “And I’ve had the pleasure of making time to study the works of artists I especially love: Pierre Bonnard, Giorgio Morandi and Alberto Giacometti.” Of her life in Southern California, she said it wouldn’t be the same if she had not been introduced to the work of Manny Farber, adding, “Thank goodness for all these marvelous influences!” If you go: Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, 5627 La Jolla Blvd., is open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends.
Artists call: La Jolla Art & Wine Festival Planning for the Oct. 8-9 La Jolla Art and Wine Festival (LJAWF), organizers are now accepting artist applications. “Whether you work in oils, watercolors, mixed media, ceramic, glass, sculpture or jewelry,
Cree Scudder with her paintings at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters LJAWF has something for you,” the committee states in press materials.“Feel good about giving back to the community as we raise essential funds for La Jolla public schools.” This year, Zapplication.org (ZAPP) will be used for artist exhibitor management. To be considered for the festival, artists must have a profile account on Zapp, which is free and easy to obtain. The LJAWF application fee is $25 (non-refundable). For more details, visit ljawf.com or send an e-mail to art director Mackenzie Foote, at artists@lajollaartandwinefestival.com
Artists call: Library seeks still life works The La Jolla Library Art Gallery committee, in preparation for its juried summer show, “Life Speaks,”
FROM MARITIME CONCERTS, B1 Feb. 21: Beginning, Entr’acte, Finale The inaugural concert will feature Haydn’s (aka Father of the String Quartet) first and last string quartets, offering a portrait of his development and mastery of the genre. His final quartet (opus 77/2) was completed in 1799, and inspired 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte from 2011. The concert also includes maverick American/Mexican composer Conlon Nancarrow’s first quartet (1945) and Haydn’s very first quartet, opus 1/1 (1757). May 15: Haydn and Cage John Cage and Haydn may appear to be an unlikely musical couple, but they were both titans of their eras, influencing entire generations of composers and defining the style of their times: Haydn as the epitome of classicism and Cage as the trailblazer of the post-war avant-garde. Cage’s String Quartet in Four Parts (1950) is a spare, beautiful view of the four seasons based in part on Indian philosophy. Haydn’s first quartet in the opus 20 series (”Sun”) likewise opens a new door of possibilities, as each instrument is liberated and given equal importance, a departure from the violin-driven tradition of the past. His “Sunrise” Quartet op. 76/4 closes the program.
COURTESY
has issued an invitation to interested artists to submit works for the exhibition. Artists may submit up to five paintings in which the subject matter of their still life speaks to something in their own life. The committee is looking for paintings to be enjoyed for their color and style, as well as their ability to connect with the things each artist has chosen to paint. Oil acrylic and watercolors are welcome. The deadline for submissions is April 29. Pieces must have been completed within the past five years and the artists must live, work or exhibit within San Diego County. Proceeds from art sales will include a 20 percent donation to Friends of La Jolla Library. Application forms and more information may be downloaded at lajollalibrary.org Questions may be e-mailed to artexhibits.ljlibrary@gmail.com
Sept. 25: Folk Festivities Haydn was one of the first classical composers to incorporate popular, folk and Hungarian material into the string quartet, and the opus 42 and 54/2 quartets are some of the most evocative examples of this exploration. Hear two more examples from the 21st century: Linde Timmerman’s Cante de Ida y Vuelta (Round Trip Songs), inspired by the folk traditions of South America and Spanish flamenco, and Brooklyn-based composer/violinist Colin Jacobsen’s Brooklesca, which plays homage to the diverse borough he calls home, complete with winks to his musical ancestors. Nov. 20: London Travels Haydn’s opus 74/1 reflects the worldly, cosmopolitan style of his later years. The British connection continues with the String Quartet no. 1 of Benjamin Britten (arguably the Empire’s finest composer), written in the summer of 1941 here in Southern California, and opens with his teacher Frank Bridge’s hauntingly beautiful “Three Idylls.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime” concerts take place at 1492 N. Harbor Drive in downtown San Diego. Tickets at the door, sdmaritime.org or (619) 432-2314 are $10-$25, four-concert series $80. Nearby lots have $10-a-day parking. Concerts last 1 hour, 45 minutes.
