Whale View Point shoreline project ready for approval BY ASHLEY MACKIN Final plans for the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project, in the works for seven years, went before the La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJP&B) community advisory committee at its Feb. 25 meeting for endorsement before presentation to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) and the San Diego City Council for ratification. The plan outlines areas of improvement between the space commonly referred to as the Wedding Bowl (where Cuvier Street and Coast Boulevard meet) and the south end of Coast Boulevard Park. Before making an endorsement, LJP&B members decided to meet and walk the length of the project area before their March meeting to see first-hand what improvements are included p and how they would be implemented. While some La Jolla enhancements can go into effect in the very near future (such as comprehensive trash pickup), others will take several years to become reality. During the presentation, Marty Poirier of Spurlock-Poirier Landscape Architects, creators of the plan, explained, “The master plan is a tangible roadmap to what needs to happen in this area. It’s priced to look at particular characteristics of each segment … (because) every 100 feet, there is something special. Once you’ve identified the personality of each place, you look at the problems it has, the beautiful parts of it and what you might want to change. The plan provides a cost for those elements.” The plan includes detailed design recommendations and a broken down budget to cover each piece as part of the larger project. For example, within the Picnic Ramble component, which totals $197,306 and would provide secluded picnic areas, there are nine sub-projects that could be completed any time funds become available, independent of each other. La Jolla Conservancy representative Tony Ciani added, “We wanted the plan to be at this level of detail. We’ve been working on this for seven years. We started with walks and sketches

BY ASHLEY MACKIN hile Senior Night is special for all players on the La Jolla High School girls varsity basketball team, this year’s on Feb. 13 was extra special for senior Sophia Sowers. As an announcer named each senior for her moment of fame, he revealed that Sowers had hit her 1,000th career point. “It was a nice surprise. I knew I was close to it (going into the game), but I didn’t think I would hit it,” she said of the milestone. Assistant coach Johnnie Horne said Sowers, daughter of Tom and Brett Sowers, is the third player in La Jolla High’s history to make 1,000 points, and she is one of the top three 3-point shooters in San Diego County. Since Sowers has been a Lady Viking for all four high-school years, she said, “the long time frame helps in gathering more points, plus, I’m a 3-point specialist, so that means more points. I feel good about hitting 1,000.” As she should. It’s not easy, considering all the factors working against such an achievement. First, there’s the time commitment needed to get to that point. “If you play 25 games a season (an understandable average) for four years, that’s 100 games,” Sowers said. “You would have to average 10 points a game, if you play for all four years. Plus, as a freshman, you probably aren’t going to average

ith this March 6, 2014 edition, La Jolla Light (and all the newspapers in the new U-T Community News Group) are debuting a new look. Expect to now receive THREE all-color sections in your Light — one large broadsheet “wrap” with lots more room to showcase our great news, photos and advertisements; and two smaller “tab” sections: “Community,” and our award-winning “Lifestyles.”
The size changes are necessary so we can match the parameters of U-T San Diego’s press drums, which will now be printing the La Jolla Light. All the Light’s trusted features remain — frontrow coverage of civic and social events, reports on local arts and sciences, community calendars, opinion pages and high school sports — and, of course, our informative columns “10 Questions,” “Frontline Cancer,” “Let’s Review!” “Kitchen Shrink,” “Best Bets,” “Let Inga Tell You,” “Kudos,” “Gems of the Week,” “Tarnishing Our Jewel,” and “On the Menu.”
We hope you will like what you see and continue to turn to the Light for all that’s happening in the 92037. As you know, your ideas and comments are always welcome and vital to the success of our mission, which is to be an upbeat and interesting platform for the community speaking to itself. Please remember that news and information for each Thursday’s issue must be received by the preceding Thursday. You can reach me at (858) 875-5950 or susandemaggio@lajollalight.com ◆

App-tastic! Two La Jolla students place fifth in county app design contest BY ASHLEY MACKIN Macky Broido, a freshman at La Jolla High School and Max Sun, a freshman at The Bishop’s School, took fifth place in a countywide app design contest – competing against adults, Feb. 22-23. The students joined the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge, sponsored by the San Diego County Health and Human Services Department. The topic of the app contest was “Harnessing local data to help prevent four major diseases in San Diego County.” Broido Macky Broido explained, “Our app is designed to educate the public, because the county (health department) has a lot of data covering three behaviors that lead to four diseases that account for 50 percent of deaths in San Diego.” The four diseases are diabetes, heart disease/stroke, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The three behaviors that contribute to those diseases are smoking, lack
of exercise and bad eating habits. With this data in hand, the boys developed “GradeMyHealth,” Broido said. “What the app is designed to do is give the users information in a visual graph — or look at the information by data. You choose your neighborhood and you answer five questions, and then it shows you how you compare to the rest of your community. It will also tell you how you can improve your health based on your habits.” For example, those who Max Sun indicate they smoke can click on “My Prescription” and find resources to help them quit smoking. In addition to how the user compares to their community, it explains with a pie graph, the percentage each major disease (as well as cancer) contributes to the number of total preventable disease-related deaths. The results are based on pre-recorded data, and answering the questions

La Jolla High School freshman Macky Broido and Bishop’s School freshman Max Sun are app-masters. The lifelong friends heard about the app design contest through an after-school computer class they take together. ASHLEY MACKIN (including the neighborhood) does not get sent anywhere. For the contest, the boys had two days to come up with a way to present the information and program it into a user-friendly app. They also had to give a presentation explaining how their app could be used and its benefits.
During the presentation, Broido’s father Mark said he noticed the judges downloading the app on their phones to try it out. The boys placed fifth out of 18 teams — all comprised of adults — which came with a cash prize of $1,000. Some competitors came to San Diego from Silicon Valley; and a Ph.D. student came
from UCLA. In addition to placing as well as he did, Sun said a few things about the contest surprised him. “I think it was more a competition for ideas, so even if we weren’t great at programming, we still could have entered and if we had a great idea, we could have had a chance at winning.” However, the boys went above and beyond the quest to make a functioning smartphone app. ◆

10 points a game or be as good as you will be as a senior.” Secondly, Horne said coaches from opposing teams will work to prevent 3-point shots, while their teams study your strengths and weaknesses, trying to slow you down. “Every week, coaches from other teams are scheming for you not to make the three,” he said. “So for Sophia to consistently shoot the three, and keep the percent of shots made high, it is a great feat. “Sophia has always been a hard worker, and through personal training over the last eight months, we’ve re-tweaked her shot to give her a new combination (to set up a shot), so when coaches are scheming against her three, she can still get to the basket, she’s very dynamic. And while her 3-point shot is her strength, we’ve stepped up Sophia’s defense, as well, to make her a more well-rounded player.” Sowers was able to put those skills to use during the Lady Vikings’ victory in the
La Jolla Community Basketball Academy ■ For those whose young daughters hope to one day join a high school basketball program, La Jolla High School and The Bishop’s School are collaborating to establish the La Jolla Community Basketball Academy. ■ Lady Vikings Assistant Coach Johnnie Horne said the academy would work with girls (starting at age 5) to build them into strong athletes by the time they reach high school. The academy comes in response to community feedback for such a program, and is planned to launch in May, running Friday through Sunday. For more details, e-mail Johnnie.Horne@gmail.com first and second round of CIF Championship Feb. 25 and Feb. 28, respectively. Sowers and her team competed in the CIF semifinals March 5, with CIF championships March 8. This year’s tourney marks the first time in more than 10 years that the Vikings made it to CIF — and a particular highlight for Sowers. “I want to win CIF, that would be awesome, and later on I want to play in college,” she said.
Though she said she has some natural talent, she also commits a lot of time to practicing, advice she happily passes to others. “If you love the sport, practice as much as possible because practice is going to make the difference,” she said, adding it’s also important to “find a program that works for you.” In Sower’s case it was playing on boy’s teams when she was younger. ◆

and community input, by taking the suggestions to the coastal conservancy over and over and over, having the Coastal Commission walk it. Now it’s a significant plateau to spring from.” The plan is broken down by geographic area, cost and task levels. Improvements in task level one require little permitting or agency approval and may be completed in the near future; level three tasks will require permitting and are considered midto long-term. In 2007, the La Jolla Conservancy began holding community meetings to gather input on what needed to be done in the perimeters of Whale View Point. With the help of landscape architect Jim Neri, a draft plan was put together that received conceptual approval from the Coastal Commission, San Diego Park and Rec Department, and the California Coastal Conservancy. Since then, La Jolla Conservancy and Spurlock-Poirier have been working to complete the final plans.

■ Suspicious tower: As part of his report, LJP&B Chair Dan Allen said he discovered something new at La Jolla Heights Park. “I drove up there (and saw) there is a 30-foot radio tower at the high point of the park,” he said. “(I thought) wouldn’t we be notified if there is a electronic tower in the middle of our open space park?” After calling the water department, Allen was told the tower was there for an issue “of national security,” and couldn’t be told more. He later found out it’s a radio tower that sends data on the reservoirs in La Jolla.
Minick, organizer behind the beautification project to fix the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool, reported that she continues to get donations for the work. “Though we have achieved above our original estimate amount, we are going to have a greater cost; we just don’t know what that is yet,” she said. Minick also reported meeting with District 1 Councilmemmber Sherri Lightner’s office to discuss additional funding options, but nothing decisive came from that meeting.

A vandal smashed the front window of Bella Roma Pizza restaurant at 5737 La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock, around 3 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, the owner reported. The vandal did not gain entrance to the business and nothing was stolen, the owner said. A camera on site captured the image of the perpetrator who is described as a tall, heavyset young man, with black hair. He was wearing a white shirt and white pants. The owner is asking business owners in the area with cameras to contact her if they have clearer footage of the suspect, as well as any homeowners on Camino de la Costa, where rocks in the landscaping of a home appear to be the same as the one used to smash the window.

CRIME REPORT at UC San Diego with a loaded gun. Ahmad Abassi, 29, was taken into custody at his home by university police about 5:15 p.m. Feb. 20, according to UCSD spokesman Jeff Gattas. Abassi is accused of brandishing a firearm and making threats while at the university’s Hopkins parking structure on Voigt Lane on Feb. 13, school records show. The arrest log listed his occupation as “student,” but neither Abassi, nor his male victim, are affiliated with the university, Gattas said. Abassi was booked into jail on charges of threatening a crime with the intent to terrorize, exhibiting and possessing a loaded firearm on university property, and being a convicted person in possession of a firearm. Abassi’s bail was set at $50,000, which he posted and was released from jail. — U-T San Diego
Trial ordered for woman accused of causing fatal crash A disabled Air Force veteran accused of
driving under the influence of four depressants and causing a multi-car crash in University City that killed a 77-year-old man in another car was ordered to stand trial on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of drugs. Soranon Booppanon, 39, faces 15 years in prison if convicted. Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey said Booppanon was under the influence of Valium and three other prescription medications about 10:30 a.m. last Oct. 23 when she blew through a red light on westbound La Jolla Village Drive at Genesee and caused a chain-reaction crash that killed George Matteson of Pacific Beach. Matteson’s 74-year-old wife, Betty, received more than 10 broken bones and was seriously injured. Harvey said Booppanon was going 68 mph and accelerating when she ran the light. Defense attorney Cole Casey said Booppanon has numerous medical problems as a result of 13 years in the military, and was on her way to the Veteran’s Administration when the crash happened. Casey said he was hopeful his client
would be eligible for Veteran’s Court, a A3 program designed to help military veterans get treatment after finding themselves in legal trouble. Judge Laura Alksne found that enough evidence was presented for Booppanon to stand trial June 2.

BY PAT SHERMAN San Diego’s new police chief, Shelley Zimmerman, isn’t the only skydiving local leader. La Jolla High School’s new principal, Dr. Chuck Podhorsky, has also checked skydiving off his bucket list. In addition, he enjoys boating, surfing, sailing, snow skiing and competitive archery. “I’ve been doing archery as early as 13 or 14 (years old) at statelevel competitions,� he said. “I’ve always been kind of an aspiring Olympic archer, if you will.� Fittingly, the 47-year-old educator, who resides in University City
said Podhorsky, via phone, while on his way to coach his 8-yearold daughter’s softball team. “I’m going to continue to push the academic growth at the school.â€? Podhorsky, who left his job as principal of Hoover High in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood to accept the position at La Jolla High, says mentors and coaches have long been his inspiration — particularly his 93-year-old father (who coached his baseball team throughout his youth in San Diego). “I’m a big believer in coaches ‌ whether it’s executive coaching or doctoral work — people who have that kind of ability to bring the best out of you,â€? said Podhorsky, who holds an undergraduate degree in mathematics from UC San

day I got here the students came out and had the Madrigal singers sing the alma mater; the mascot presented me with the key to the school. It was an amazing reception.” Podhorsky said his first oncampus meetings were with students. “They were coming in (on their own) presenting the work they’re doing and the clubs they’re involved with — from supporting programs in Uganda to incredible community service organizations — without a club advisor, without any adults. “What I’ve learned in my 20 years of education is that sometimes as adults we just have to step back and let the voice of the students be heard. They are extremely eloquent.” In the short term, Podhorsky said he will work to assure a smooth transition to adoption of Common Core State Standards for math and reading. “From a long-term standpoint, I think the community is and should be very proud of La Jolla High School. … I would love to see the high school be, not only
the best in the district, but the best in the state and nationally recognized. Part of my role as principal is to make sure we are doing absolutely everything we can to bring a high quality, rigorous environment to students, while, at the same time, making sure that they are having a really great high school experience.” Podhorsky also said he hopes to strengthen the school’s collaborative relationship with neighboring scientific institutions and universities. Asked if he would like to see his own daughters attend La Jolla High, Podhorsky doesn’t hesitate to respond in the affirmative. “From what I’ve seen in six days, I would be honored for my daughters to attend La Jolla High School,” he said, adding, “When we at La Jolla High are getting national recognition and being written up and people are coming to visit and see the great work that’s going on, I’ll be happy, but never completely satisfied. I think that’s how you should operate in life.” ◆

Owner of Cliff May home appeals ‘involuntary’ historic designation
The owner of this home, built by noted architect Cliff May, has appealed a historic designation on his property that he characterized as ‘overreaching.’ FILE deliberation,� the HRB included two of the lots in the designation (including one directly west of the property). The designation was granted based on its type of construction and the significance of the architect. “I never appealed the designation of the home — and I think it deserves a
designation,� Mandelbaum maintained, “but to designate an adjoining parcel is, I think, overreaching.� Kane said she requested designating the additional parcels (including one referred to as “Parcel 4� in Mandelbaum’s appeal to the San Diego City Council) to preserve May’s intended setting for the home,
which she said includes Parcel 4, “a sloping site with expansive views toward La Jolla Cove and Torrey Pines State Park.â€? “Setting is always an important part of architectural design,â€? Kane said, via e-mail. “The HRB did not designate the entire site as requested ‌ but it did recognize the expansive setting as a significant feature of the Cliff May design and therefore designated a second lot to express that aspect of its historical significance.â€? Kane said the only professional photograph of the property in the Cliff May archives at the University of California, Santa Barbara was taken from the living room, panning northward up the coast. However significant the home may be, Kane said, UCSB researchers could not find any indication that it was ever featured in architectural publications after it was built. “May probably intended to publish the (photograph), using that feature as the most unique attraction of the design,â€? Kane said. “Clearly, the coast views were important to both him and the client (original inhabitants George and Marion Cottrell) or a professional photograph would not have been commissioned.â€? However, Mandelbaum noted that the

BY PAT SHERMAN The owner of a home built by architect Cliff May (1909-1989) — considered the father of the California Ranch House — has appealed a historic designation placed on his property Jan. 23 by the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB). The property owner, David Mandelbaum, is calling it a case of “preservationists running amok.� Manedelbaum said he apprised the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) of his plan to apply for a historic designation on the home at 7727 Lookout Drive, when his neighbor, architectural historian Diane Kane (who formerly bid to purchase the property and serves on the LJHS’s preservation committee), filed her own application for a historic designation. Mandelbaum said he only wished to designate one of four lots on the property (where the Cliff May home is situated) — a plan with which he said HRB staff initially agreed. Kane applied to have all four lots designated historic. At the conclusion of the HRB proceeding, where Kane said the property’s lineage and lot line adjustments were a “major area of discussion and

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Growing up in La Jolla, surfer and photographer John Maher spent a lot of time in the ocean. He even jokes that his parents referred to the ocean as “his babysitter” when he was young. As an adult, he takes striking photos of the ocean and La Jolla’s coastline. Available for purchase at the La Jolla Open Aire Market on Sundays, the photos are a reflection of years of learning and adventures in the open ocean. “Surfing took over my life when I was really young,” Maher said, adding that he was the youngest person inducted into the WindanSea Surf Club at age 11. As a teenager, he got picked up by Rusty Surfboards, and surfed competitively under its sponsorship. He also conducted surfing tours in Fiji and Indonesia. “Just being in the ocean and having access to these gorgeous places I thought to myself, ‘why aren’t I documenting this?’ It’s so rare to see these sights. I want to always remember this,” he said.

failed bid to purchase the property herself in 2012. Kane said that prior to placing her bid on the property, La Jolla architect Jim Alcorn created a pro-bono concept plan to preserve the entire site, which was approved by the neighborhood and HRB staff, and which was in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for the treatment of historic properties, as well as the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance, La Jolla Community Plan and city municipal code. “I based my offer on the concept plan … originally associated with a neighborhood initiative to purchase the property to protect neighborhood character (and neighbors’ views),” Kane said, adding that after Mandelbaum’s bid was accepted, she notified him through his attorney, Scott Moomjian, that Alcorn’s concept was available for his use. “Mr. Alcorn told me he was interviewed by Mr. Mandelbaum as a potential architect for the property and showed him the concept plan during the interview, but he was not chosen for the job.” Mandelbaum said Alcorn’s plans did not include preserving the palm tree grove that Kane and other preservationists later criticized him for felling. ◆
Tim Bessell said the exhibit is “definitely going to happen. “He’s very talented and I love his work,” he said. “It has a nice feeling to it and he has a great eye being a surfer — his work is a perfect fit for the gallery.” Maher’s work is on display at Pannikin Coffee, 767 Girard Ave. in La Jolla this month and he is looking at exhibition opportunities
at galleries in Los Angeles and New York. To budding photographers, Maher suggests starting small. “Don’t throw every dollar you have into it,” he said. “Do it every single day, no matter what the conditions are because you never know what you’re going to get and you’ll learn something new every time you try.” ◆

CLIFF MAY HOUSE CONTINUED home is located within the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance, which only calls for protecting ocean views from the public right-of-way (designated view corridors along streets and roadways), and not from private property. Mandelbaum said it was his intention to preserve the view of the home from the public right-of-way (Lookout Drive). He said he is also upset that his removal of what he considered a dying palm tree grove on the property — added more recently by the Yianilos family — was referred to by a neighbor during the HRB hearing as “disgusting.” “Tell me what law I broke?” he asked. “If you want to change the law to protect landscaping, fine, but don’t call me disgusting.” Mandelbaum said he has preserved an olive tree on the property, believed to be an original Cliff May planting (he said an arborist told him it had been severely neglected by previous owners). Mandelbaum said he views Kane’s quest to designate all four parcels historic — and her pending application to have the property designated as a state historic landmark, which he said has prevented him from pulling permits to work on his property — as “vindictive,” given Kane’s
marketing. He used that camera to experiment with what images he could capture. “Over time I learned how to use my equipment in the water and got to the point that I could start selling images,” he said. In June, he will have an exhibit in the gallery at Tim Bessell’s surf shop, 515 Westbourne St. Although an exact date has not been set,

FROM BOTANICAL TOUR, A1 will direct the botanically inquisitive to a website designed by students that includes their photographs, paintings and illustrations of the plants, plus information on each species and the year it was added on campus. Art and history students in grades 6-12 are photographing the plants and creating art for the website, as well as conducting interviews with the school’s longtime gardener, Betty Vale, and alumni who remember when the plants were added. “They’re also doing some research on global warming and its effect on the plants, so it’s a long, ongoing process,â€? said Kripal, a renowned ceramics artist and chair of the crafts department at Temple University in Philadelphia. Students in Sara Ahmed’s sixth-grade history class used maps to explore campus last week, sketching, researching and writing about their chosen plant. “It’s a really fun project,â€? said student Ava Delonge, 11. “I like that we’re able to kind of go on our own and research it by ourselves. It’s like an independent sort of project. My plant is the giant bird of paradise. ‌ Some cool facts are that it can grow up to three stories tall, it’s native to South Africa and the flowers look like birds.â€?
Bishop’s School senior Imani Littleton carries tiles from the ceramics room. Logan Schwarz, 12, is researching bougainvillea. “I’ve learned that it’s a vine that was discovered in Rio in 1768, that it can grow up walls vertically and has many flowers that are pink,â€? he said. “It’s kind of fun because ‌ (this project) will be part of the school’s history forever.â€?

to the various corners of the globe from which the plants originate, Kripal said. Kripal was invited to tour the campus last fall by Visual Art instructor Jeremy Gercke, who was one of Kripal’s graduate students. During the visit, Kripal took photographs of the plants, which he used to create decals, which will be fired onto the tiles when placed in a kiln. The entire project will take about a year to complete, though Kripal said some tiles should be in place by the end of the year. As part of a group called Contemplations on the Spiritual, Kripal has created ceramic sculpture installations at sacred spaces
across the country and abroad. Part of his residency at Bishop’s School was to educate students about his work on these projects, which include installations in Rome, Glasgow, Cologne, New York and elsewhere. The Bishop’s School’s endowed scholarin-residence program — established in 2003 by an anonymous donor — brings scholars in the fields of science, art humanities and social sciences to the campus for a week-long residency to inspire students and faculty academically and artistically. Since its inception, the school has hosted authors, artists, journalists a mathematician and others. ◆

A
t the 2014 Global Swimarathon Sunday, Feb. 23 at La Jolla Shores, 49 swimmers covered three courses — the original 100-yard course parallel to the beach, an intermediate course, and the XL course to the tip of Scripps Pier. The La Jolla Sunrise Rotary-sponsored event was a fundraiser for the global fight against polio, netting $10,000 for the cause this year. Polio is a crippling disease still endemic in three countries worldwide. San Diego Lifeguards Aaron Estess and Gareth Chapman monitored the swimmers. The water temperature was 5960 degrees and conditions were calm. In 2012, La Jolla Sunrise Rotary (LJSR) was one of 64 clubs sponsoring a Swimarathon, and the only club to sponsor an ocean swimming event. This year, more than 500 clubs sponsored Swimarathons, however, LJSR remains the only ocean dip to date. Earlier this year, the Gates Foundation announced it would match two-to-one all Rotary fundraising for End Polio Now. The matching is in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars pledged in prior years by the Gates Foundation. Polio survivors Jim Poirier and Richard Dolmseth made the swim in La Jolla. Event coordinators Steve Cross and Barbara Held thanked the corporate sponsors who made this year’s event the most successful to date. Next year’s event: Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015. ◆

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT It’s a sure thing that you’ve never seen a production of “Macbeth� like the one opening at NTC on March 6. Produced by THE TRIP, a two-year-old company founded by Tom Dugdale and Joshua Kahan Brody, graduates of the MFA Directing program at UC San Diego, it’s a radical re-visioning of the classic drama, staged in former military barracks. THE TRIP’s last effort was the staging of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town� as a backyard barbecue, part of last fall’s Without Walls Festival at La Jolla Playhouse. Now they’re breaking new ground with a gender-bending, multiplerole-playing, shortened and souped-up version of Shakespeare’s original, with a cast of five, including director Dugdale, who plays an added Narrator. “The Narrator helps navigate our compression of the play; our production will be a taut 70 minutes,� Dugdale explained. “The Narrator also de-sanctifies, or let’s say, brings the play down to Earth. Shakespeare’s plays are mighty; they’re the greatest pieces of dramatic text in our

language, but that doesn’t absolve artists from the responsibility of tackling them and wrestling them to the ground. So we’re saying, ‘We love this play, and here are some things we love about it; and here’s a goofy song or two, and a tap-dance; and we’d like to share all this with you.’ � Dugdale, who has impressive theater credits here and in New York City, spent last year at La Jolla Playhouse as a recipient of the Princess Grace Award, which honors outstanding young Americans in the performing arts. Besides directing, he’s an opera singer, actor and playwright, and contributed additional text, music and lyrics to THE TRIP’s “Macbeth.� Co-producer
Brody is also one of the actors, who are all UCSD Theatre and Dance alumni. I was part of a small audience invited to an early preview of the show in a rehearsal room at La Jolla Playhouse. It was the fifth day of rehearsal and no one was in costume, but the cast was off-book, and happy to be seen. “We like to show the work sooner than later, so we don’t get too precious about it,� Dugdale said. The play starts with the roar of war; sound and fury are major elements in this “Macbeth.� Shakespeare might not recognize much of his tragedy here; there’s more attitude than depth of character, and
most of the poetry is deconstructed. There are certainly more laughs than in the original, not to mention cool beats and red balloons. As for the fact that “Macbeth� is played by a woman, and the head witch by a man ... well, Lady Macbeth and the witches were all played by men in Shakespeare’s time, so infidelity to gender is really nothing new. The truth is, I liked what I saw at the preview, and look forward to seeing the finished piece. It’s not something you’ll want to take the kids to, unless they’re college kids, but it may well be something you’ll want to see for yourself. In rehearsal, “Macbeth� wore a T-shirt that read: “No more boring theater.� THE TRIP’s “Macbeth� isn’t boring at all. ◆

Murfey Construction builds ‘green’ for homeowner savings BY MARTI GACIOCH “Building green is thinking green,” said Russell Murfey, who co-owns and operates Murfey Construction with his brother Scott. Murfey Home Construction, known for its high-end custom homes, remodels and commercial projects throughout San Diego, is building with green products and technology to provide big savings for both homeowners and the environment. The company recently completed a custom-built, energy-efficient beach home facing La Jolla Shores Beach. The state-of-the-art home typifies the high-level quality and long-term savings that Murfey's design and construction team provide by using green elements. The 4,200-square-foot, fourbedroom, four-bath solar-powered home with elevator features well-
Murfey Home Construction built this La Jolla Shores custom home using extensive green products and technology. COURTESY insulated windows and doors and a high-efficiency heating and cooling system. It exceeds California's Title 24 energy requirements with its installed water-efficient plumbing fixtures, including tankless water heaters, Energy Star appliances
and LED lighting. Recycled and sustainable materials (such as insulation made from denim blue jeans, engineered wood flooring, sustainable tile and countertop materials, recycled wood and concrete products) were beautifully blended into the
building process. For the Murfey team, building efficiently is a hallmark of the design process. Russell said any well-planned project will provide good exposure to natural lighting and good ventilation. As with all Murfey-built projects, the team is also using state-of-the-art building products that emphasize green technology to construct Famosa, a mixed-use residential-commercial project on the corner of Voltaire Street and Catalina Boulevard in Point Loma. The property will include nine contemporary-styled threebedroom, three-and-a-half-bath townhomes with two-car garages. A few of the 1400-1500 square foot townhomes will include a rooftop deck. The project will also feature 2,128 square feet of retail space for a business suitable to
the pedestrian neighborhood, such as a coffeehouse, cafe and shops. Famosa is scheduled for completion this spring. “With our projects, we install highly efficient, cost-effective products whenever possible, including gas appliances, which are less expensive to operate than electric appliances,” Murfey said. “We build with Quartz countertops and recycled wood flooring, including bamboo and try to keep products out of the landfill by recycling more than 50 percent of the materials we use.” ◆ — Murfey Construction, Inc., 1571 La Playa Ave., San Diego.

Visit: ThinkLocalFirstSD.com Skylar Nelson, formerly of TVs ‘The Biggest Loser,’ offered tips on diet and nutrition at Orangetheory Fitness on Girard Avenue Feb. 12. PAT SHERMAN
‘Biggest Loser’ expert offers tips at Orangetheory event understand,” Nelson advised a room of more than 60 attendees, basking in the carroty glow of the new fitness facility, where members use treadmills, rowing machines, suspension bands and free weights for intervals of cardio and strength training. Nelson also said extreme caloric restriction is not always advisable, and can cause the body to burn muscle and store energy as fat. Among the best sources of protein to consume after a workout are whey and eggs (the later of which is also high in vitamin D), Nelson said, urging attendees to choose Greek over tradition yogurt, which has twice the amount of protein. When making a sandwich, use avocado, or “nature’s butter,” instead of fatty and chemical-laden mayonnaise, and make sure to include 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day, Nelson advised (most people in the United States consume only about 10 grams, he said). Nelson is a member of Orangetheory Fitness, a registered dietician and founder of S3 health design, a nutrition consulting practice based in San Diego and Los Angeles. — For information about future seminars at Orangetheory, visit 7734 Girard Ave. or call (858) 551-8750. ◆

BY PAT SHERMAN Contrary to popular belief, extreme carbohydrate restriction — advocated in many fad diets — can be counterproductive, depleting vital energy sources for peak athletic and mental performance, while limiting the body’s ability to metabolize fat. Skylar Nelson, a part-time La Jolla resident who served as a diet and nutrition expert on TVs “The Biggest Loser,” offered this and other diet and nutrition tips during a Feb. 12 seminar at Orangetheory Fitness on Girard Avenue. Modest amounts of complex carbohydrates, such as a slice of whole grain bread or cup of steel cut oats, actually increase energy levels prior to a workout, whereas foods high in fat or fiber could cause a stomachache during training, Nelson advised. Simple carbohydrates such as sugary foods, sodas and processed grains (depleted of their vital nutrients) should still be avoided, he said. Fruit juices are packed with sugar, and should be consumed in moderation, as should diet sodas, which contain artificial sweeteners the Food and Drug Administration only deem are “generally recognized as safe.” “Think about calories as information, and choose information that your body will

Rental rules should be 30-day minimum stay
Review of ‘The Winter’s Tale’ sadly, misses the mark
Staff Reporters • Pat Sherman pats@lajollalight.com (858) 875-5953
As long-term La Jolla residents, we believe the increasing popularity of both short-term vacation rentals and the rental of private homes for special events disturbs our quality of life and threatens to turn La Jolla from a thriving, family community into a careless party town. There is a 30-day rental minimum in the San Diego Municipal Code. We ask that the city properly enforce this 30-day minimum, rather than continue to tolerate short-term rentals. We additionally support an outright ban on the rental of residentially zoned properties for special events, to lessen the chances that a property may be rented for 30-plus days as a ruse to stage events. We take as our inspiration the City of Coronado, which prohibits occupancy for less than 26 consecutive days, and the rental of private properties for special events, weekend stays and weekly vacation homes. We believe this is the best way to both reduce noise and preserve the residential character of our local neighborhoods. We welcome visitors to enjoy La Jolla — we have hotels that can fit all budgets. But we hope visitors will remember that for us, La Jolla is not a vacation destination, tourist trap, or commercial investment opportunity. It is our home. We hope our fellow residents will be able to join us in support at the next public meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee on Vacation Rentals. Yours for peace, quiet and community, The 30-Day Club Jon Mangerich, Chair Karen Heyman, Co-Chair
The Feb. 27, review of “The Winter’s Tale” falsely states that King “Leontes ... eventually orders his pregnant wife be put to death, along with his young son, Mamillius ...” This is a synopsis of some other story which is completely different from “The Winter’s Tale” written by William Shakespeare and produced on stage by The Old Globe. In “The Winter’s Tale,” Leontes orders the death of his friend Polixenes by poisoning and the death of his daughter by fire. (Note that neither order is ever executed). Leontes orders that his son, the prince, be taken away from his wife, Hermione, and he orders Hermione to be placed in prison pending trial. His son becomes sick with grief from separation from his mother. Leontes is solicitous for his son’s recovery and gives the order “See how he fares.” Later at trial Leontes threatens his wife with death to which she replies “Sir, spare your threats.” Leontes never in any way orders the death of son or wife. News comes that the son has died of grief. This news is true and the fault of Leontes, but not something he ordered or something he consciously wished for. Next it appears that upon hearing the news of her son’s death that Herminone is dying of grief. The order from Leontes is “Beseech you, tenderly apply to her / Some remedies for life.” Soon thereafter Paulina says of Herminone “I say she’s dead.” It is up to the audience to judge if this is true or not. There are many depths to ponder about this play. The review is a disservice to such work in that it completely misstates those facts that are clearly known. Also, I take exception to the

reviewer’s belittling ACT IV, SCENE I as one which “makes little sense and adds nothing to the delicious plot.” Firstly, this is Shakespeare’s actual text, and secondly, it is of critical importance to a play in which passage of time plays such a crucial role. Compare it to the “Time Passes” interlude in Virginia Woolf’s “To The Lighthouse.” While my personal subjective experience differs from the reviewer in this regard, I invite the reader to see the wonder of intertwining sorrow and hope in a passage the reviewer sadly experienced as merely superfluous.

Looks like city repainted La Jolla’s gold hydrants I conducted a visual survey today to be in a somewhat better-informed position to advise the public that the danger to us all may be as serious as reported in the La Jolla Light’s Feb. 27 story about La Jolla’s fire hydrants being painted gold. Where were these secreted unauthorized paint jobs — two of whose photos accompanied the article? I observed 11 yellow-painted fire hydrants on Nautilus Street — two of them appear to have been freshly painted with the magnificent brilliant yellow color, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (both without benefit of being prime painted beforehand). One was at the corner of Nautilus and Avenida La Reina, and another at the corner of Avenida Manana and Nautilus. Amazing! A city paint crew responded rapidly to eliminate the evidence of the reported vandalism!

Regarding the reported cost to “remove the paint, clean and prime the hydrants for repainting them the city standard color (including staff time)” being $114 each, this issue should have been submitted to private industry for a competitive bid. Our sources have suggested that this price is about 50 percent too high, based on the cost for the scope of work that appears to have been performed. It appears that the city crew saved some of those bucks by eliminating both the cleaning and priming where the new coating was applied. So, in lieu of costing $912, far less was evidently spent. Jack Stevenson LA JOLLA Reporter’s Note: After La Jolla Light received reports that fire hydrants had been painted gold, I went out to find examples and take photos for documentation, which ran alongside my report that you reference. The photos were taken Feb. 20. Immediately after discussing the matter with the Light, city officials ordered the hydrants repainted yellow to

comply with city safety standards. The four observed with a fresh coat of paint were likely some of the ones that had been vandalized. For questions regarding re-painting procedure, including whether the hydrants were cleaned and primed according to protocol, e-mail the San Diego Public Utilities Department’s water division at water@sandiego.gov A representative from the Public Utilities Department could also better address maintenance of the blue reflectors on the street and how pricing for repairs are determined. ◆ Ashley Mackin LA JOLLA LIGHT STAFF

OUR READERS WRITE CONTINUED Along Coast Boulevard, I observed 12 of those lifeproperty-serving plumbing fittings. At least four appeared to have a fresh coat of paint. These four were definitely NOT cleaned and primed before being re-coated, either. The gold paint shows clearly at several chipped locations, but all the rest of those other hydrants probably must await their regular maintenance, in due course, having somehow eluded the vicious Gold Paint Vandal. Too bad the adjacent deep pothole in the concrete street at the park (that hasn’t been filled in over six months) wasn’t responded to as quickly. But that must require a different, slower moving city crew to get involved. How about those missing blue reflectors that are often affixed to the road surface in the center of the street opposite each hydrant? Is that a different city crew’s responsibility? Missing for years and years. Perhaps those are not necessary anyway. The San Diego Fire Department has a keen awareness of the location of each and every hydrant, and has them all mapped as well. So what difference does the exact color make?

Concert, CD release will bring Normandie Wilson to Athenaeum BY ASHLEY MACKIN Normandie Wilson, pianist and singer/songwriter, is excited about her 7:30 p.m. March 7 performance at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library as part of its acoustic series. Really, really excited. The San Diego resident said the location and the audience that frequents it, is a perfect fit for her music. “I’m excited because my music is listening music and the Athenaeum is a listening room. People don’t go (to the Athenaeum) to drink, they don’t go to party; they go to listen to the music. So I think it’s going to be nice,” she said. Of her part-jazz, part-rock ‘n’ roll, part-pop music on piano she added, “It’s music for a lounge, it’s not music for a crowded bar. It’s classy music for a classy situation.” Athenaeum Executive Director Erika Torri commented, “The acoustic series was established a few years ago to attract a younger audience. In addition, it is in keeping with our commitment to support San Diego talent. … The Athenaeum attracts a varied audience, since we are presenting a large concert program in chamber music, as well as in jazz and contemporary music (such as Wilson’s).” Because Wilson’s melodies and lyrics are inspired by artists such as Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter and Dionne Warwick, the piano is her instrument, and just another reason she’s looking forward to the show. “Being a piano player — and I am a pianist, I’m not a keyboardist — I’m often forced to play on the keyboard, so anytime I get to play on a wonderful piano, it’s a treat,” she said. “And the piano in the Athenaeum is perfect.” The show will double as a CD release party for Wilson’s
Normandie Wilson’s performance 7:30 p.m. March 7 at the Athenaeum will double as a CD release party for ‘Geography and Other Problems.’ COURTESY tenth album, “Geography and Other Problems,” which she said will allow audiences to get to know her and her sound. “I hope to introduce myself to a different scene of people … I think there are a lot of people in La Jolla who want to hear this kind of music and I want to get feedback from the crowd. If everything goes well, I hope
to play in La Jolla every month,” she said. The lyrics were inspired by a 2011 tour of the United States and Europe, and the sights and adventures involved. Wilson said ideas for lyrics come to her in her dreams. “I’m really inspired by words … I think lyrics are the most important part of the song … they need to be important, they need to mean something. I love word play, puns and everything having to do with the English language.” Experimenting with language and writing everyday, no matter how little, is a fundamental part of Wilson’s process. “You have to write a lot of bad songs to get to the good ones,” she said. “Sometimes you have to write unfinished songs. I have often found myself with song fragments that years later come together and get reworked.” With her experience performing solo and with two other bands, she’s had a lot of opportunities to work and rework and play with lyrics. She often performs with Red Pony Clock, a 10-piece band that played at the Athenaeum’s Fiesta Del A’Lista; and Blue Velvet, a cover band that performs in elaborate costumes and wigs. Members of Blue Velvet will join Wilson during her Athenaeum show, which she promises will add an extra element of fun. And, as if she didn’t need another reason to be excited about the show, she will also be celebrating her birthday that night. ■ IF YOU GO: The concert is 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 7 at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. Tickets: $12 members, $17 non-members at LJAthenaeum. org/SpecialConcerts or (858) 454-5872. ◆

GIRLS BASKETBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings 62, Fallbrook High School Warriors 49 Sophia Sowers (13) of La Jolla High School drives on Fallbrook High’s Amanda Cunningham in the Vikings’ 6249 win in the CIF quarterfinals Feb. 28. Sowers finished with 26 points.
La Jolla High climbs mountaintop to CIF Semifinals BY ED PIPER “I’ve been to the mountaintop.” Famous words. Not to cheapen their original meaning, but the La Jolla High School Lady Vikings are getting closer to the top of the mountain, and they like the view. This is a view they haven’t had for years — possibly 10 or 15. The Vikings entered the CIF Division III semifinals on the strength of their 62-49 victory at Fallbrook High Feb. 28, in front of a vocal partisan crowd, far from home, on a rainy, rainy night. And there were a lot of hills to drive to get to alien “Warrior Territory.” “We’re trying to do research to find out when La Jolla was last in the semifinals,” said Coach Dave Westhem, who three years ago began building this program with his daughter, Sierra (then finishing her sophomore year), and his older daughter, Ashley (just graduating from LJHS). Sierra is now a senior, and with fellow senior and four-year starter Sophia Sowers, she is having the ride of her life. Sowers — who was recognized after the Vikings’ first-round win over Oceanside for her achievement of scoring over 1,000 points in her career for only the third time in the history of La Jolla girls basketball — hit five more 3-pointers and a sparkling 26
points. That brings her season’s total of three’s to 24, and 159 in her career, according to statistics posted on maxpreps. com. (La Jolla says she has over 200 three’s for her career.) Sierra Westhem plowed in 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds. More crucially, Sowers and Sierra Westhem got up in front of the other girls at halftime and got loud, telling them they needed to keep on the heat and deliver this victory. Just before the half, a period in which visiting La Jolla had led the whole way after the opening minutes, the Fallbrook Lady Warriors had just retaken the lead on a follow by 6-foot Andrinna Perez and a layup at the buzzer by point guard Hailey Drew. This brought deafening noise from the Warrior student body section. Another issue was that 6-2 Viking center, Madeleine Gates, only a sophomore but growing in skills by leaps and bounds, was battling Fallbrook center Amanda Cunningham, a senior, inside. Fouls were an issue. Gates finally did foul out with 2:54 left in the game. So, after the halftime pep talk given by the two seniors, La Jolla (18-11), the fifth seed, went out and outscored the Warriors (17-10), the fourth seed, 23-6 in the third
quarter. Sierra Westhem had eight points, Gates six in the quarter. The lead eventually escalated to 19 points, 59-40, before Coach Westhem was able to insert subs to close out the game. “At the end of the half, we were all down a little at that buzzer shot,” said Viking guard Jenna Harmeyer, who dished out five assists to go with three rebounds, of the first-half closing shot. “We went to the locker room and said, ‘We can do this. We are here, and this is our time.’” La Jolla played in the semifinals March 5. At press time, it still was not determined who the Vikings’ opponent would be, since the Rancho Bernardo-Calexico quarterfinal game was postponed to March 3, due to weather. The CIF Finals are scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, March 8, at Jenny Craig Pavilion, USD. ◆

Rocket engineer Ed Hujsak launches several careers 10 QUESTIONS
A
pproaching his 90th year, La Jollan and rocket engineer Edward Hujsak (he was the propulsion engineer on John Glenn’s famous orbital flight), has become an artist, sculptor, poet and builder of fine furniture, Ed Hujsak musical instruments and toys for children in need. Hujsak was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, the son of a Polish farmer. He graduated in chemical engineering from the University of New Hampshire in 1949. His first job was at Bell in Niagara Falls, where he worked on the liquid rocket engine for the Rascal airlaunched missile. In 1955, he moved to Convair in San Diego as a Senior Design Engineer for the Atlas ICBM engines. He rose in the engineering hierarchy, moving from the Atlas to the Centaur program, finally being a senior staff specialist for advanced upper stages and future expendable launch vehicles. He retired from General Dynamics in 1988, but continued as a consultant for out-of-the-box concepts, such as sea-based launch systems and future electronics. In the course of his career, Hujsak was granted many patents. He has written eight books, among them, “The Future of U.S. Rocketry.”
What brought you to La Jolla? My first job after graduating from college was with Bell Aircraft in Buffalo, New York, developing small air-launched rockets. When I heard that Convair in San Diego was starting development of a big rocket, ATLAS, I took employment in the engineering department. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add to the area? Mothering seals and sea lions in shore waters and beaches while they destroy the local eco-balance doesn’t make sense. I think they should be captured and boated to the uninhabited islands where they will be just as happy. It might be a steady job for someone until the marine mammals get used to it. When the post office ceases operation, I would convert the building to a small theater to replace the badly missed Cove Theater. It could double as a community gathering spot, for example, hosting lectures and political meetings, as well as a concert hall for the Athenaeum, an upgrade from the too-close, folding-chair arrangement they now use. The building is in the middle of a thriving restaurant center and there isn’t a walk-to theater in sight. Who or what impresses you? That would be the incredible cosmic scale and the insignificance of humans in it, and yet (humans are) capable of stupendous deeds, as well as a growing capacity to understand it all. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would invite? Probably musicians; they are entertaining both during and after dinner.

Robert Irwin installations light up two La Jolla galleries BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT t 85, Robert Irwin is still in his prime as an artist. A pioneer of the “Light and Space” movement of the 1960s, he started out as a painter in the ’50s before moving on to “art outside the frame.” For more than 50 years now, his work has been shown around the world. Besides installations, he has also designed gardens for the Getty Museum, LACMA and Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, and Dia: Beacon Center for the Arts in upstate New York. This month, some of his recent light-works can be seen at two La Jolla venues, the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and Quint Gallery. Though New York’s Pace Gallery has represented Irwin since the mid-’60s, Mark Quint has been his local representative for the past several years. “I’ve known Bob for 25 years now, and finally asked if he’d be interested in doing something together,” Quint said. “He said, ‘Sure,’ and then I was sorry I hadn’t asked 20 years earlier!” A multiple award-winner who received a MacArthur

altogether successful trip. While Rory has always been a free thinker, Santa Cruz seemed a few sigmas on the side of weird even to him. We couldn’t help but notice the “no tie-dyeing in sinks” signs in the coed dorm bathroom. Finding a downtown Santa Cruz café for lunch, the cashier pointedly informed me that they did not serve Coca-Cola (liquid rat poison, she said) and when I grabbed a bunch of napkins for our messy grilled organic veggie sandwiches, a voice from the line behind me announced, “Do you REALLY need all those?” I turned to my husband Olof and whispered, “Not in Kansas anymore, Toto.” Further, lifelong San Diego resident Rory, despite being enamored of the idyllic campus nestled among the redwoods, wasn’t sure he could “live in a cold climate.” (He’s never lived it down from his actual-coldclimate-originating parents.)

With both sons in the Bay area for a number of years, Santa Cruz became a popular meeting place for the family, and The Great Morgani a must-do of weekend visits. So I was distraught to learn recently that after 17 years as being of one of Santa Cruz’s bestloved institutions, new city rules barring performing in close proximity to buildings caught him in their net. The idea of going to Santa Cruz and not being able to go see The Great Morgani, well, what’s the point? OK, grandchildren. Still, it just won’t be the same. Thanks for the memories, Great One. And I’ll always think of “Lara’s Theme” as “our song.” ◆

t would probably surprise many people who know me (or then, maybe it wouldn’t) that one of the highlights of my life was waltzing to the Dr. Zhivago movie’s “Lara’s Theme” with a homeless guy on the sidewalk in downtown Santa Cruz serenaded by a space-alien-costumed accordion player named The Great Morgani. The homeless guy had asked me to dance and it would have been rude to decline. Plus, the opportunity to embarrass your two college-age sons? Oh, yeah. Going downtown to see The Great Morgani had become part of our ritual during my husband’s and my frequent trips to Santa Cruz over the years. Part of the draw was just to see what over-the-top spandex ensemble Morgani AND his accordion would be wearing that week (only a picture can do them justice) but also because he stood out as a unique character even among Santa Cruz’s eclectic community. Believe me, that’s saying something. When we had first gone to look at UC Santa Cruz for our son, Rory, it wasn’t an

worker. Our trips to that area of the state increased even more when his younger brother, Henri, attended UC Santa Cruz’s cosmic opposite some 45 miles up the Peninsula as both an undergraduate and graduate student. As close as my sons are, they found each other’s campuses flat-out creepy and made a point of avoiding setting foot on the other’s collegiate turf. Rory found that the ubercompetitive, rarefied academic environment at Henri’s campus gave him diarrhea while the athletic Henri couldn’t conceive of a student body’s intentional irreverence at naming their sport teams the Banana Slugs after the ultra-slimy yellow banana-shaped denizens of local redwood trees. (“Go Slugs!”) Like many of their downtown Santa Cruz neighbors, Rory and his family now raise chickens for the fresh eggs in their backyard, while Henri and his family live in Westwood, which is zoned against them. It’s amazing how one’s college choice sets a tone for the rest of one’s life. As a teenager, Rory’s favorite sport, aside from scuba, at which he became an instructor, was pinging his divorced parents. So it probably wasn’t too surprising that when his talented pianist/doctor father tried to get him to embrace a musical instrument, Rory took up the accordion. And that was how Rory met The Great Morgani several years later when he arrived as a freshman at Santa Cruz. Morgani, Rory learned, had been a stockbroker, who one day threw in the towel, er, portfolio, and became an

Find Italian fare without the flight to Italy at Rosina’s BY KELLEY CARLSON he dining experience at Rosina’s Italian Restaurant gives guests a taste of owner Rosina Gangale’s home life. Set in a simple-yet-elegant space in Piazza Santaluz, the eatery is designed to be comfortable and welcoming to everyone, from couples and families indulging in an authentic Italian meal, to customers casually dropping in for a glass of wine. “You feel like you’re in my house,” Gangale said. “There’s no pretension here.” Gangale is no stranger to the kitchen, enjoying cooking as much as she loves interacting with people. She has passed her culinary skills along to her sons Giancarlo and Gianfranco, who take turns as chefs at Rosina’s Santaluz and Oceanside locations. She strives to be a gracious hostess, constantly greeting guests and getting to know them. “I take pride in serving good Italian food,” Gangale said. “It’s as good as it gets without flying all the way to Italy.” Like a typical Italian meal, the dining experience at Rosina’s is encouraged to be experienced at a marathon pace, rather than a sprint. Meals begin with a basket of ciabatta delivered to the table, accompanied by a dipping sauce that’s a blend of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Rosina’s Tomato Sauce with the Pepperoni Repieni al Forno — baked banana peppers stuffed with sausage and herbs, and topped with tomato sauce. People who want something lighter may opt for the Insalata alla Siciliana, a mixture of avocado, English cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and ricotta salata cheese tossed with red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. When it comes to main dishes, Gangale notes with pride that her pastas aren’t drowning in sauces. The slightly spicy Alla Vodka contains morsels of sautéed pancetta ham, onions, vodka, crushed tomatoes and a splash of cream over penne. There’s also Funghi e Pisilli, in which nearly every creamy forkful of pasta has peas and wild mushrooms. Seafood enthusiasts may select the Mare e Monte, with shrimp, scallops and calamari sauteéd

And from now until April, viewers can admire the cool, mysterious beauty of three luminous Irwin creations at Quint, and a single one, “Palladium,” at the Athenaeum. The Athenaeum’s Feb. 21 opening attracted an enthusiastic crowd. As executive director Erika Torri commented, “For Bob Irwin, only one piece is necessary to make a complete exhibition.” And the viewers, who also enjoyed the presence of the usually-elusive artist, seemed to agree. ◆

captures the “duende” of an object; that’s Spanish for hobgoblin. Rayes was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1946, the son of an Italian mother and a Lebanese father. His mother was in charge of housekeeping at the Cairo Hilton and his father worked as a teacher and translated the Al Ahram newspaper into French. As fortune would have it, his mother made friends with the wife of 20th Century Fox’s president, Spyros Skouras, who was there filming the movie “Cleopatra,” which starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Mrs. Skouras wanted Rayes’ mother to oversee her house staff in America, so the
‘My Studio’
couple sponsored his mother, father, himself and four siblings to come to the United States and live on the Skouras’ estate in upper New York. As a member of the household staff, Rayes remembers serving dinner to visiting movie stars like Taylor, Burton, Gregory Peck, Jack Lemon and Marlon Brando. Unfortunately, Rayes father passed away from a heart attack after six months in the United States, leading Rayes to join the Navy where he served as a boatswain’s mate during the Vietnam War. After his service, Rayes and his family moved to Southern California. He soon married and enrolled at Cal Poly Pomona where he earned a degree in architecture.
However, it was too difficult to find a job in that field, so Rayes took a position in commercial real estate with the Bank of America. After a divorce from his first wife, Rayes met and married, Mary, who was raised in a Scotch-Irish family in Mobile, Ala. In 1989, Gabriel and Mary moved to La Jolla where he went into business for himself in commercial real estate development. Five years ago, he retired and began to pursue his interest in art. Today, he paints 8-10 hours a day in the little studio he built for himself on the back deck, which overlooks the canyon down Nautilus Street to WindanSea Beach.
‘Moulin Rouge’ “Painting for me is like a meditation,” Rayes said. “I get into the zone. Anything could fall apart right behind me and I could care less! I guess it’s like an escape. … I like to use bright colors because they are happy and I want to give people happiness. I am a fan of emotional expressiveness. I guess that’s the Italian in me. I want people to be happy and loose. … I try to keep it simple in order to capture the pure essence or the feeling of what I paint. “I am an architect at heart. I love buildings. My wife and I went to Europe recently. She would go into the art museums, but I would sit outside and look at the buildings and the people.” ◆

‘To János with Love’ Friends offer posthumous Valentine concert to beloved music professor BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ános Négyesy was still in the midst of musical projects when he died unexpectedly on Dec. 20, 2013 at age 75. A world-renowned violinist, he had been part of the UC San Diego faculty for 35 years. Among his many on-campus concerts were his quarterly Soirées for Music Lovers, featuring his wife and a changing cast of students and alumni. Feb. 14, his scheduled Valentine’s Day Soirée, would have been his 80th, instead, the music department presented a tribute, “To János with Love: A Celebration of Life,” at Prebys Concert Hall, with performances by two dozen faculty, students and alumni whose lives Négyesy touched. So many volunteered to participate in the memorial concert that some had to be turned away. Négyesy was a passionate performer of the classical violin repertoire, who was also a champion of new music. Just two weeks before his death, he gave a concert on violin and live electronics, featuring the premiere of a piece written especially for him by Nicolas Vérin, a young French composer at UCSD on a Fullbright grant. It included acoustic and electric violin, a spherical sound sculpture, and videos of some of Négyesy’s computer paintings, and was to be Chapter One of a four-part, fully-staged performance project. Born in Budapest, Négyesy lost his father to the Nazis, took up the violin at age 4, and later managed to outwit the secret police in Soviet-occupied Hungary

and take advantage of an offer to study music in Germany. In 1970, he became concertmaster of the Radio Berlin Orchestra, under Loren Maazel, and went on to perform with Pierre Boulez and John Cage in Paris. In 1979, he was invited to come to UCSD as a visiting associate professor. The visit never ended. He stayed on, married a former student (Finnish violinist Päivikki Nykter), and continued performing, recording and teaching up to the end. “He loved La Jolla,” Nykter said. “Even though he had to travel so far to concerts in Europe, he loved the slower pace here, the nice people, and not having to fight the weather. He really felt at home here. “János was such a do-er, and such a happy person.” Nykter, co-produced the
memorial program, which included her playing viola in a Schumann quartet her husband intended to feature in his 80th Soirée. “Teaching, coaching, making music — it wasn’t work for him; he loved it all. He never thought about retiring. He used to say: ‘I don’t work, I play,’ and he always had a twinkle in his eye … and he was a wonderful teacher, demanding, but kind.” There was a full house for the Feb. 14 Soirée, which opened with a 2008 concert audio of Négyesy playing John Cage’s “Freeman Etude XVI.” Cage was a close friend and Négyesy had recorded all 16 Etudes. The two-part program ranged from traditional to contemporary, and included a video of Négyesy and Nykter playing a violin duet by 20th-century Italian composer Franco Donatoni.
János Négyesy, from the video of his last recital with Nykter, is shown at the memorial concert on Feb. 14.
“That was from a concert last fall, in Finland,” Nykter said. “It was so special, such a magical atmosphere; we kept talking about it. Now I realize: It was the last two-violin recital we would ever play.” Though one of the singers broke into tears in the midst of an aria, the tribute was an upbeat event, concluding with an exuberant raga, a celebration of the life of János, composed for the occasion by Kartik Seshadri, and performed by Seshadri on sitar, Arup Chattopadhyay on tabla, and the evening’s co-producer, Mark Dresser, on double bass. Afterward, there was an outdoor reception with Champagne and some of Négyesy’s favorite desserts. “I think János would have liked it,” Nykter said. “Love was in the air.” ◆

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Review DIANA SAENGER
If laughs you seek, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;School for Liesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has cheek
P
laywright David Ivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The School for Lies,â&#x20AC;? at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT), is a hilarious romp from start to finish. A terrific cast superbly handles the roles of lawyer, butler, femme fatales and their suitors, and other assorted misfits. A spin on Molièreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1666 comedy of manners, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Misanthrope,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;School for Liesâ&#x20AC;? begins immediately to satirize the hypocrisies of the French aristocracy. When arrogant attorney Frank (Richard Baird) enters the scene, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quickly surrounded by a host of eccentrics. Two beautiful girls, Eliante (Brenda Dodge) and Celimene (Jessica John), each have their own agenda for finding the right man, but have histories to get through before that will happen. Frank storms around like a bull issuing snarky insults and accusations, which are spoken in rhymed couplets, to those in the room. Each sentence brings a laugh from the audience as some are cleverly funny and others so amiss they, too, are comical.
The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire dialogue is uttered in this manner. Celimene is interested in Frank because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lawyer and she needs counsel since she soon has to face a judge. While she flirts about enticing vibes from more than one in the room, she is mourning for her husband, whom she states is the only one she will ever love. Quite interesting is Philinte (Joel Ripka), who will massage any of the sharpness from those in the room to establish a line between deception and diplomacy, yet heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great liar. Ripka is quick and efficient portraying Philinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnestness to capture Elianteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. Eliante is somewhat taken by Philinte, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about him that does not fit her idea of the right man. But as conversations continue, and players become more obvious, she decides she wants attorney Frank. Dodge is terrific as the bubbly easy-going Eliante, until she pounces on Frank with some reserved physical antics
B15 MARCH 6, 2014 - LA JOLLA LIGHT
that Frank almost cannot refuse. A more self-righteous snobbishness surfaces in the character of Oronte (Phil Johnson) seems born to play this role. In his mind, he can do no wrong and is quick to readdress all the others. He also makes them suffer as he reads his own sonnets that make little sense. Johnson makes sure the others know Orante is a man of the court and should be highly respected. He also hopes to win the hand of Celimene. Jason Heil takes on the role of Acaste, a kind of loveable goofball, who adds his own hilarity to the plot. David Bean steals much of the show as Clitander. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not liked by many and lets their accusations slide off his shoulder like a silk scarf. He knows what he wants and is relentless in getting it. Bean knows how to work the audience for laughs with his gestures and expressions that are priceless. Returning to the stage is a NCRT favorite, Jonathan McMurtry. He needs few words in his role as the butler, as his gestures for an ongoing joke get funnier every time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on stage. Baird steals this show with a tour-deforce performance. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeared in many of NCRTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productions and always delivers. Here, is at an all-time best. He enters the stage with a Russell Crowe-like demeanor in the way he commands the character. Yet in later scenes, he becomes more like Clark Gable when the two ladies work on him for

attention. Dana Hooley brings huge laughs when she appears late in the play and does all she can as ArsinoĂŠ to seduce Frank away from the two women clawing over him. Whether one understands the politics or conventions of this classic, no one will leave it without fond memories and appreciation of this cast and crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x2014;&#x2020; â&#x2013; IF YOU GO: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The School for Liesâ&#x20AC;? runs through March 16 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Free-spirited neighbors generate sparks of self-inquiry in SD Repâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Review BY PAT SHERMAN t has been said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;good fences make for good neighbors.â&#x20AC;? But, as San Diego Repertory Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detroitâ&#x20AC;? shows, prior to inviting the couple next door for a get-acquainted backyard barbecue, it might also be prudent to conduct a background check â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at a minimum, make sure they own furniture. Though Lisa Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pulitzer Prizenominated and Obie Award-winning script ambles a little awkwardly and forcedly out of the gate, it gains momentum as newly arrived neighbors Sharon and Kenny (San Diego Rep newcomers Summer Spiro and Jeffrey Jones) begin to unfurl the shadowy details of their not-too-distant past, beginning with their courtship in a drug rehab facility. Despite the red flags, neighbor hosts Ben and Mary (Steve Gunderson and Lisel Gorell-Getz) gradually let their defenses down, basking in a much-needed reprieve from their mundane lives. As the bluecollar elixir of Pabst Blue Ribbon flows
I
through subsequent get-togethers, Ben and Mary unwittingly peel back the layers of their marital discontent. Despite the title, the play (with fine direction by Sam Woodhouse) makes no reference to the Motor City. Its 1960s, inner-city suburb-in-decline could be located within any American metropolis, proving fertile ground for examination of a down economy and the demise of neighborly social interactions once taken for granted. Spiro is captivating as the conflicted and sexually uninhibited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; albeit at times surprisingly astute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sharon. Always the first to dance or incite, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a delight seething over the snooty neighbor in the pink jogging suit or uncovering the closeted Anglophile in Ben (an unemployed loan officer whiling away hours in a virtual England, while he claims to be building a website for his business). Gorell-Getz (Mary) is equally on-target as the uptight executive using vodka to cope with her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeming indifference to rejoining the workforce. She longs to escape on a survivalist camping excursion, only to make it no farther than the gas station with her new-found confidant, Sharon, at her side.
introducess
DARREN SCOTT
Jones is steady as the amiably roughand-tumble Kenny, who convinces bashful Ben to join him at a strip club (turns out Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there before), only to have their plans nixed when their wives return, giddy from their failed, yet brave, attempt at camping. The change in the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s itinerary opens a space for the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incendiary climax and appropriately unresolved denouement. A fifth character, Frank (Robert
Benedetti), closes the production, filling in the gaps for Ben and Mary on their now AWOL recovering addict neighbors, simultaneously offering a kind, redemptive gesture and melancholy rumination on letting go. â&#x2013; IF YOU GO: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detroitâ&#x20AC;? runs though March 16 at the Lyceum Space, 79 Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego.

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

Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and the nation’s second-largest fullservice residential real estate brokerage firm, was a featured speaker at the event. With his keen insight and experience in virtually all aspects of the residential real estate industry, Peltier has helped build HomeServices into a national presence, expanding the company to provide integrated real estate services including mortgage, title and homeowners insurance, among other home
related services. Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC, shared his insights about real estate. The leader of the Prudential Real Estate network for 12 years, he has been frequently been named one of the Most Influential Real Estate Leaders in the country by Inman News. Known for his commitment to the real estate profession, Lee has donated his time to serve as director for many national REALTOR associations. Tom Ferry, a renowned business coach and best-selling author, presented his ideas about how real estate professionals can achieve a balance between their work and personal lives. Joseph Quitoni, corporate director of culture transformation at The Ritz-Carlton’s Leadership
Center, was also a featured speaker.
