By Pat Sherman La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees at an April 4 meeting voiced strong opposition to Mayor Bob Filner’s proposal to allow medical marijuana dispensaries to open in La Jolla and elsewhere in San Diego. Storefronts with green crosses advertising marijuana sales flourished citywide in 2010 and 2011, including several within the same mixed-use zone of La Jolla where the mayor is proposing to allow dispensaries — mainly along La Jolla Boulevard, from Bird Rock north to Prospect Street. During the meeting District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner notified trustees of the city council’s upcoming vote on the revised zoning ordinance allowing dispensaries, 2 p.m. April 22 in San Diego City Council chambers. “The city council did approve a (draft) medical marijuana ordinance

By Pat Sherman he La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. (LJP&B) community advisory group reviewed final designs for the new lifeguard tower at the Children’s Pool during its March 25 meeting. The designs — largely the same as those approved by both LJP&B and the La Jolla Community Planning

Association — showed the color scheme and building materials for the project, which were not established at the time of previous community presentations. The project is set to break ground in June, starting with demolition of the existing, condemned lifeguard tower. Construction will take roughly 14 months and proceed through

still puzzled by ‘starvation’ trend
By Pat Sherman Tourists strolling above La Jolla Cove last week need only gaze out at the ocean to spot at least five dead sea lions, the carcass of one marine mammal drooping morbidly from a coastal rock formation like a Salvador Dali clock. The deaths are the result of an unexplained starvation epidemic among young sea lions that has researchers from SeaWorld and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scrambling for an explanation. It also had residents questioning whether anyone is responsible for removing the remains. Until a remedy for the sea lion pups’ mysterious affliction
can be found, more such deaths are expected. NOAA has deemed the crisis an “unusual mortality event.” In the first three months of 2013, SeaWorld rescued 264 malnourished and dehydrated sea lions along the San Diego County coastline. During the same period last year, there were only 32 sea lion rescues (the average is 27). For all counties dealing with the crisis — including San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura — the historical average sea lion rescues from January to March is 131. This year, there were 1,098 rescues during the same period,

www.lajollalight.com FROM SEA LION DEATHS, A1 with sea lions coming in at about a quarter of the weight they would normally be. La Jollan Mary Ellen Morgan said the nearly desiccated carcass of at least one sea lion had been on the rocks above the Cove for more than a month. “When we have tourists coming down, it’s not our best moment to have dead sea lion debris,” Morgan said, noting that the smell of the decomposing animals could exacerbate the existing odor problem caused by bird excrement on those rocks. The City of San Diego’s Dead Animal Removal department responded to a report of the remains, though Morgan said they left the dead seals, citing “inaccessibility of the bluffs.” The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said they do not dispose of dead marine mammals. San Diego lifeguards finally removed four dead sea lions and one dead pelican last weekend. The task of removing dead marine mammals from the shoreline is typically handled by lifeguards or Park and Recreation staff, as long the animals are in an area that is safe to access, and only after consulting with officials at NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service. The federal agency is responsible for the conservation and protection of marine mammals and their habitat, as well as enforcement of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). San Diego Lifeguard Lt. John Everhart said lifeguards first contacted NOAA officials about removing the animals April 4. According to a July 2009 City of San Diego memo that supersedes previous city protocol on the disposal of dead marine mammals, a lifeguard or Park and Recreation
LA JOLLA LIGHT - april 11, 2013 - Page A3
While a sea lion discovered at Pantai Inn March 26 was rescued by SeaWorld and recovered, another sea lion (pictured) found in the 400 block of Coast Boulevard March 23 did not survive. SeaWorld said the 10-month old, female pup should have been about 60 pounds, but only weighed only 21 pounds.
A solution for carcass recovery and stench? ■ Some members of La Jolla Parks and Beaches city advisory group say adding a gate to reinstate public access to the bluffs above La Jolla Cove would both disperse the cormorants believed to be causing the ongoing stench, and provide access to lifeguards and Park and Rec staff for removing dead birds and marine mammals from the bluff. ■ To report dead marine mammals: (858) 546-7162 ■ Information on sea lion pup ‘starvation’: bit.ly/starvingpups department supervisor must phone NOAA to alert the agency of the dead animal, though under the MMPA, city employees have the authority to “take” a carcass first if it is for the protection of human health, the memo states, in part. “Such (removal) may cause surrounding animals to react, including flushing into the water of animals that are hauled out,” the memo continues. “It is important that city staff take all steps to minimize the impact of any carcass recovery by conducting the efforts quietly and cautiously, and waiting for optimal conditions, i.e., when few other (marine mammals) are on the beach, particularly in the area of the dead animal.” Only then must the removal be reported to the National Marine Fisheries Service, within 30 days via a completed “Stranding Report Form.” If a dead mammal is found in a
location that is inaccessible by beach maintenance equipment, Park and Recreation or lifeguard staff is advised to assess the situation for: employee health and safety, the type and size of the animal, location, proximity of the carcass to a populated area, and whether the decomposing animal would create a significant public health concern. The staff is then advised to determine whether the mammal should be removed or remain in a location where tides can flush it to sea. “Private citizens do have to request authorization prior to a disposal,” said Sarah Wilkin, a NOAA marine mammal stranding coordinator and MMPA authority. “Lifeguards can go ahead and dispose of carcasses if they find them. We might ask that they coordinate with us, because there might be tissue samples that we could take from those animals.” Before any removal, Everhart said lifeguards significantly weigh whether the removal will disrupt a colony. “The two dead animals I’ve seen (recently) were right in the midst of literally hundreds of sea lions, he said. “If there was someone drowning at the Children’s Pool and a lifeguard had to run through
the seals to make a rescue, the seals would flush and that would be okay because we were saving someone’s life. This is a little different, where no one’s in immediate danger.”
Starvation amid a population boom Despite the current crisis, California’s sea lion population has been increasing by about 5 percent per year, Wilkin said. The rise is believed to be partly due to protections afforded since the MMPA was adopted in 1972. The current population is about 300,000 she said. Everhart said he has witnessed a marked increase in the population of both sea lions and seals off the La Jolla coast. The sea lion population at La Jolla Cove has spiked significantly within the past four years, he said. “In my 29-year-career, it’s almost unprecedented the number of sea lions that are there now,” he said. “Where we used to have a couple dozen, it seems like there are now 400 or 500.” Wilkin said the pups primarily feed on small schooling fish such as sardines, anchovies and herring.

Both Pacific harbor seals and California sea lions also feed on garibaldi, the numbers of which have been diminishing off the La Jolla coast. However, Wilkin said seals and sea lions have evolved in such a way that they don’t typically compete for food sources. “Generally sea lions are very flexible as far as what they can eat as they get older … and can adapt quickly to new situations — but unfortunately, not the pups,” Wilkin said. “On a typical year, animals would still be at the rookery (in Channel Islands) still learning to forage with their moms,” she said. “Most of their nutrition should still be coming from their mom. They would be weaning starting next month, at the end of June — and that is usually when we start getting strandings of animals, (when they’re) trying to figure out life on their own for the first time.” Wilkin said it will take two weeks before the results of sea lion necropsy reports are available. NOAA is also awaiting the results of toxicology reports no the animals.

Drone-use protesters gather in La Jolla
Protester Tighe Barry dresses as he sees General Atomics CEO Neal Blue. Photos by Ashley Mackin
Many signs at the anti-drone protest advocate stopping the use of drones.
By Ashley Mackin As part of a multi-day series of protests against the use of the remotely piloted aircrafts known as drones, costumed protesters gathered on April 5 in front of General Atomics Aeronautical headquarters in La Jolla, one of the world’s leading drone manufacturers. Beginning the day protesting in front of the home of Neal Blue, CEO of General Atomics (also in La Jolla), the protesters moved on to the headquarters, and from there, to the headquarters of Northrop Grumman, the manufacturer of the Global Hawk surveillance drones. Martha Sullivan of Women Occupy San Diego, one of the many sponsoring organizations, said the purpose was to “shine the light” on General Atomics. “They are the leading manufacturer and promoter of the Predator and Reaper drones, which the U.S. government is using to target terrorists, supposedly,” she said. “But they are also killing multiple times more civilians, including children.” In addition to the reported deaths of children overseas (Sullivan cited a New York University study that documented the stories of at least 180 children who were killed by U.S. drones), other concerns for the demonstrators included the fact that those at General Atomics are profiting from the use of
Protesters near the employee entrance of General Atomics Aeronautical. drones, including drone use in the U.S. “Drones are being used, not just overseas in military operations but increasingly right here by law enforcement for surveillance and there’s no regulations on the use of these machines, so it’s like the Wild West. This is untested technology basically, in terms of how it’s going to impact society, and we don’t have any rules to govern them,” she said. Providing no additional comment, representatives from General Atomics released the following statement:
“General Atomics and its affiliated companies (GA) constitute one of the world’s leading resources for hightechnology systems. GA is involved in developing transformational technologies such as electromagnetic systems, airborne sensors and energy research. It also manufactures remotely piloted aircraft systems, which protect our troops and support national security. GA is honored that it can contribute in this way while at the same time recognizing the right to demonstrate.”

The LJVMA maintains about 120 hanging baskets in the Village. The cost of the new plantings is just shy of $600. The LJVMA also added two queen palms in front of the new La Jolla Village Information Center, as well as succulent ground plantings at the base of six new trees the LJVMA added last fall, on Girard and Herschel avenues. — Pat Sherman

Scientists debut interactive chemistry textbook
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
I
ndustrial chemists working toward new drugs, as well as organic chemistry students, have a unique new resource to guide them through chemical challenges. A trio of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has created the first fully interactive advanced organic chemistry textbook. A decade in the making, “The Portable Chemist’s Consultant: A Survival Guide for Discovery, Process, and Radiolabeling” is available as an iTunes download (http:// bit.ly/13W4aOc). In contrast to traditional print books that have simply been converted to electronic
form, this textbook was created from the ground up exclusively for tablets using Apple software. The authors characterize the interactive textbook as a cross between a Boy Scout manual and Consumer Reports. It teaches all the basics like a survival guide, and, in the style of Consumer Reports, offers unbiased guidance. Because the book is electronic it will never be out of date as it continues to add new chapters and other material driven by interactive reader feedback. Another selling point: The book is available for $39.99, a far cry from standard textbooks that cost $125 to $250. — More information at http://bit.ly/14Dkfr9 Enzyme contributes to inflammation, obesity Many recent studies have suggested that obesity is associated with chronic inflammation in fat tissues. In a new study, researchers at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute
Columnist receives journalism workshop grant ■ Freelance science writer and La Jolla Light columnist Lynne Friedmann has received a grant from the National Association of Science Writers to organize a workshop on cross-border science journalism. This first-of-its-kind workshop is designed to create and strengthen cross-border exchanges for journalists reporting on science, the environment, agriculture, public health and other issues in which the United States and Latin America have a shared link and vital stake. Speakers from both sides of the border will address the current state of cross-border science journalism, resources, new markets, innovative ways to use technology in reporting, and creation of a network for cross-border reporting — because, science doesn’t stop at the border. Cross-Border Science Journalism takes place on Saturday, April 27, at the Institute of the Amercias, located on the UC San Diego campus. — More information at http://bit.ly/13RD8Yg discovered that an imbalance between an enzyme and its inhibitor causes inflammation, obesity, insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. This enzyme is produced by neutrophils (a type of white blood cell), which play an important role in the body’s immune defense against bacteria. The researchers found that obese humans and mice
have increased neutrophil elastase activity and decreased levels of a protein that inhibits the elastase. When the team reversed this imbalance in a mouse model and fed them a high-fat diet, the mice were resistant to body weight gain, insulin resistance (a precursor to type 2 diabetes) and fatty liver disease. The study appears in the journal Cell Metabolism.
— More information at http://bit.ly/XVNe2a How the brain tracks similar but distinct memories Every day we have to remember subtle differences between how things are today, versus how they were yesterday; from where we parked our car to where we left our cell phone. The process of taking complex
memories and converting them into representations that are less easily confused is known as pattern separation. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered how a sub-region of the hippocampus helps keep memories of similar events and environments separate. Computational models tracking brain function in mouse models suggest that this region helps perform pattern separation of memories by activating different groups of neurons when an animal is in different environments. The findings help clarify the mechanisms that underpin memory formation and as well as what happens when disruptions occurs either by injury to or diseases of the nervous system. The finding is reported in the journal eLife. — News release at http:// bit.ly/Y6BTjp Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Despite concerns, planning group approves two residential projects By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) gave its approval to two residential projects at its March 7 meeting, after discussion of each one’s merits and shortcomings. The first project, the Gaxiola residence at 2414 Calle del Oro in La Jolla Shores, would require the demolition of an existing onestory, 3,178-square-foot residence to construct a new, two-story, 11,696-squarefoot house with four bedrooms, seven baths, a two-car garage, attached guest quarters, swimming pool and retaining walls. Though last fall the Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) voted that findings could be made for site and coastal development permits on the project, in December the LJCPA found numerous problems with those plans (see bit.ly/gaxiola) and asked that the applicant return with revisions. In response to those concerns, Gricel Cedillo and architect Michael Morton reduced the size of hardscape at the front of the building and added additional landscape and trellises to soften its appearance, so that it would blend in with other buildings in the Shores and not appear “monumental” from the street. The applicant also decided to use more of a 4,744-square foot “phantom floor,” where a wine room and guest suite will be added. The applicant also indicated the location of solar cells on the roof that weren’t shown in earlier drawings. The only change in the home’s height — 28 feet above grade at its highest point — was the addition of two feet added to a chimney. La Jolla Shores resident and newly elected LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson, who sits on the DPR committee, expressed concern with the extent of the changes, questioning why the applicant didn’t first return to DPR with the new plans. Trustee Dan Courtney also said the changes warranted further review at the subcommittee level. However, trustee Laura Ducharme Conboy suggested that requiring the applicant to return to the DPR or another subcommittee would be “really unfair,” adding that she felt the applicant had done “an excellent job” of clarifying previously confusing designs and softening the look of the front of the house, which includes the addition of windows in the phantom floor space. “It’s more attractive to look at and has a more human scale,” she said. Trustee Phil Merten said that while he
La Jolla Community Planning Association liked the changes overall, he believed the flat, gray roof was out of character with others in the neighborhood, and had a “warehouse” feel. Project architect Michael Morton countered that the roof is not flat, but low-sloped. “This project has bounced around the CPA (Community Planning Association) for about three years,” Morton said. “I’m asking the CPA to render their final vote on this project.” In the end the trustees voted that findings could be made for the required permits by a vote of 9-6-1. Beach Barber add-on LJCPA trustees also approved a variance to reduce the required side-yard setback for an 855-square-foot, second-story addition on a Beach Barber Tract residence at the corner of Marine and Olivetas streets. The project also calls for architectural and aesthetic changes to the first story. The Development Permit Review committee approved the variance 4-2-1 at its January meeting. The applicant, represented by architect Mark Mitchell, is seeking to reduce the normally required street side-yard setback from 10 to four feet. Mitchell noted 14 other non-conforming side-yard setbacks in the neighborhood, and said 20 of the 30 surrounding homes are two-story. Trustee Frances O’Neill Zimmerman, as well as a homeowner next door to the project who attended the meeting, expressed concern that the proposed “Pham” residence, which includes a roof deck and chimney extending more than five feet above the deck railing, would dominate “an adorable white house” next door. “This will eclipse the house that is four feet from it heading east,” Zimmerman said. “It will be unsightly on a corner (and) huge compared to the low-lying buildings in the neighborhood. It is a crime to do this, but let’s go forward with the vote.” A motion to approve the variance passed 8-6-1.

ExErcisE & Parkinson’s DisEasE Over the last several years, numerous studies have confirmed that exercise is extremely beneficial for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Weight training and riding a stationary bike have been proven to reduce stiffness, slowness and tremors. Tai Chi and balance exercises have been shown to help with gait and mobility. Some evidence suggests that exercise may do more than boost strength and balance - it may actually protect brain cells from degeneration and make Parkinson’s medications more effective. From newly diagnosed patients, to those with advanced PD, it is never too late to start. Ability Rehab specializes in treating individuals with neurological deficits like Parkinson’s disease. Our experienced physical therapists will design a program to address gait difficulties, dynamic balance, flexibility, strength, proprioception and compensatory strategies. In addition, your therapist will determine the type of exercise and intensity that is most appropriate for your symptoms, fitness level and overall health. P.S. Please stop by our table in the MIMO Pavillion at the “Fighting Parkinson’s Step By Step” event on Saturday 4/20/13 @ Liberty Station in Point Loma.

Artist, arborists find eco-friendly use for La Jolla eucalyptus trees By Pat Sherman As La Jolla continues to lose its majestic, 100-year-old eucalyptus trees — mainly removed to protect the public and property from spontaneously falling limbs — arborists Kevin Worrall and David Lawson have found a way to make the best of a sad situation. The La Jolla urban forestry specialists have saved large sections of eucalyptus trunks removed from the Village and elsewhere in La Jolla, to be repurposed as furniture or other decorative items. Ardath Road resident Richard Adams and his wife, Elizabeth Hansen, phoned the specialists’ company, TreeCraft, hoping to find creative, ecologically friendly uses for the nearly 100-foot-tall blue gum eucalyptus towering over their yard. Lawson and Worrall then contacted Nautilus Street sculptor and artist Nasser Pirasteh to help with the project. Pirasteh’s contribution will be a sculpture rejoining two sections of the tree that grew around a large “keyhole” opening. The pieces, to be displayed where the tree once stood, will be positioned like a Japanese fan and held together with metal cable meant to resemble spider webbing. A native of Iran who spent years living in Minnesota, Pirasteh uses wood, stone, plaster and metal to create sculptures inspired by philosophy and poetry — particularly the verse of the 13th century mystic poet, Rumi. Pirasteh said that, after viewing the tree, he didn’t want to lose the beauty of the keyhole. “We are keeping whatever nature gave us through all these years,” he said. “We’re just modifying a little bit through a simple solution.” Worrall and Lawson will haul the base of the trunk to their mill in Ramona, where it will spend two to three years drying before it is made into furniture, most likely six-footwide table tops. San Diego woodturner Mike McElhiney will make bowls and other items from smaller sections of the eucalyptus. “We’re honoring the tree and doing something positive with it,” said Worrall, a La Jolla native. “It’s more at a spiritual

FROM TREES, A8 level, if you will. We’re doing the tree justice, instead of just grinding it up or burning it. It’s something people can appreciate for a long time.” Worrall said the eucalyptus is the biggest he’s removed in his three decades working on trees. “I’ve seen a lot of big eucalyptus trees go down around town and this is one of the real granddaddies,” he said. Worrall and Lawson are also drying sections of Eucalyptus trees removed near the Wall Street post office, in front of U.S. Bank on Girard Street and, more recently, a eucalyptus felled last month on Ivanhoe Avenue. “I have a piece of the one that fell by the U.S. Bank that’s 5-feet-thick and 10,000 to 12,000 pounds,” Worrall said. TreeCraft recently also removed a 90-year-old Torrey pine tree from the Lower Hermosa area, which took them five trips, each truckload weighing as much as 15,000 pounds. Worrall said tree removal services such as Davey Tree, which removed the Ivanhoe eucalyptus, are “really happy” to see them show up at a work site. “I know as well as anybody how much work it is to process a trunk like that,” said Worrall. “It saves them hours of labor and (hundreds) in dump fees,” not to mention wear and tear on their chain saws. “It’s a win-win situation.” Adams said he and his wife first consulted an array of tree experts in an attempt to save their eucalyptus, though it was determined that an insufficient source of water and damage from voracious tortoise and longhorn beetles would render their effort futile. The tree was also leaning precariously close to the home’s master bedroom and recreation room, filling the couple with dread each time it stormed.
These cut-down eucalyptus trunks will have a second life as art or furniture pieces.

The base of a roughly 85-year-old eucalyptus tree removed from the yard of La Jolla resident Richard Adams will be used to make 4-inch-thick table tops and possibly other items once it has been removed and dried.

See Lifeguard Tower, A10 representatives from KMA Architecture and Engineering, Stronghold Engineering and city engineer and project manager Jihad Sleiman. Sleiman said the public would be able to access the beach during construction, though some areas may be closed for several weeks, including the seawall. Signage will alert the public before such closures, he said. LJP&B members praised the design and color scheme, which includes: graffiti-resistant, turquoise composite panels for the stairwell tower; anodized aluminum railings and window framing; cement-like siding which has the appearance of redwood; precast concrete and polished concrete block; a metal Bermuda-style roof atop the observation tower; and an energyefficient, reflective roofing for the rest of the structure. “Visually it’s very complementary,” Esther Viti said. However, LJP&B members had some concerns, chief among them that the structure will have one

Other concerns included whether the restrooms and showers for beach-goers with disabilities were fully compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act code (KMA’s Robb Walker assured they would be), and whether the reflective roofing would be too bright for beachgoers and lifeguards monitoring the water. “The site and coastal development permits were approved on this basis,” Sleiman said. “We can’t make any more changes.” LJP&B member Ken Hunrichs cautioned against precluding discussion of further changes, saying that it is easier to make changes to plans in pencil now,

It also was suggested that proposed metal bathroom doors be replaced with fiberglass or another, less corrodible material — one detail Sleiman said could possibly be changed. Concerns were also raised as to whether disabled persons and emergency vehicles would be able to maneuver a ramp leading to the beach, and gain access to the beach once they were down there.
Elevations presented in the designs caused several members to question whether that would be feasible. “This project is not involved with access to the beach, only the lifeguard tower,” Sleiman said. It was suggested by one member that ADA law requires beach access be provided to disabled persons. “We’re not agreeing or disagreeing; we just can’t do anything about it (ourselves),” Robb Walker of KMA Architecture and Engineering added. Though an environmental report on the project called for use of a wall to block construction noise, Stronghold’s Patrick Walls said the work would generate about 90 decibels and a sound wall would not likely be needed (90 decibels is slightly louder than the sound of city traffic and slightly less than some jackhammers). “The requirement for that depends on the time of year and the conditions,” Walls said. “We won’t need a sound wall for what we’re doing, when we’re doing it.” — The next LJP&B meeting will be 4 p.m. Monday, April 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

New lifeguard tower meets ADA-compliance … just not to the beach By Ashley Mackin With the Children’s Pool beach lifeguard tower set for June demolition and a rebuild planned soon after, one detail is still causing concern for paraplegic and lifelong swimmer Jack Robertson of La Jolla. While the tower plans adhere to all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, there is still no safe ADA-compliant way to access the sand from the end of the proposed ramp. The slope leading down to the sand is too steep to be ADA-compliant, but for Robertson, that is his safest option. He said the beach will be used by all people, not just those in wheelchairs, and that making the Children’s Pool ADA-accessible would make it a tourism draw because it would be the only such beach in the area. The lifeguard tower plans, as approved, include access to public restrooms and showers via the ramp. There will be at least one ADAcompliant stall. From there, all beach-goers must use a set of stairs to reach the sand.
This is in accordance with 2010 ADA Standards, which state that when altering paths of travel, “Restrooms, telephones and drinking fountains serving the altered area, (must be) readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs.” The plans as a whole have been approved, and the coastal development permit and site development permit have been granted, with only minor changes going back to community planning groups. For example, the La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJP&B) committee heard updates about the tower color at its March 25 meeting. City officials say at the time the lifeguard tower plans were drafted for the Children’s Pool, beach access was not as big an issue as it is now, so such was not taken into consideration. At the LJP&B meeting, City of San Diego project manager Jihad Sleiman said access beyond the ramp is not within the scope of the current project. However, Robertson coun-
The slope leading from the south side of the current lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool in La Jolla is the only way for paraplegic swimmers like Jack Robertson to access the sand. It is not ADA-compliant. Pat Sherman
tered, “Go one step further and extend the ramp down to the high-tide line. Children’s Pool is such a tourist attraction as it is, but if that happened, we could boast that (the beach is) ADA-accessible.” There is now a slope leading from the south side of the current lifeguard tower to the sand that is too steep and cracked to be considered ADA-compliant. There is nothing in the new lifeguard tower plans to alter the slope or build around it. Willing to take the risk, Robertson said he often asks the ranger at Children’s Pool to unlock the gate to the
MAke every night A night tO Remember
current slope so he can go down to the water and swim. When refused, he has to be carried down the stairs. “I don’t like to ask my same friends to help me down the steps because they’ve gotten as old as I have and their backs are out,” he said. “My son is 23 and he’s helped me since he was 14 or 15, and I don’t want to see him do damage to his back.” Robertson said he doesn’t know why the slope can’t be resurfaced and a sign installed warning people that it is too steep for ADA compliance, but to use it at
their own risk. This would open up beach access to those who use wheelchairs, baby strollers or walkers. “It’s amazing how many different people use what supposedly is wheelchair access,” he said. “It turns out numerous people utilize easier (ramp) access.” Robertson said Children’s Pool is the most accessible beach for him and there are no other options in Southern California. Mission Beach and Pacific Beach have power wheelchairs available to those in need. But for Robertson, who
wheels his chair into waistdeep water and dives in, the power chairs don’t work. “The problem with the power wheelchairs is after so many years, batteries die and I can’t take them in the water,” he said. La Jolla Shores has manual chairs available, but in Robertson’s experience, they cannot be self-propelled easily. “I have to be with someone for them to push the chair and the lifeguards aren’t responsible for doing that,” he said. “Those chairs look better than they work.” Having a natural slope to the high-tide mark is the easiest and safest way for someone in Robertson’s situation to reach the ocean because at the high-tide mark, the sand is harder, more flat, and easier to maneuver in a wheelchair. “They are going to get rid of half of the stairs anyway (with the installation of a ramp), so it doesn’t seem to be asking that much more to get rid of the lower set of stairs, ramp it, and make it look nicer,” Robertson said. “It needs an upgrade anyway.”

FROM Marijuana, A1 in 2011 that limited medical marijuana dispensaries to industrial zones,” Lightner explained. “That meant that most of District 1 would not be capable of having any medical marijuana dispensaries, and certainly in La Jolla they were prohibited in all areas.” However, Lightner said medical marijuana advocates and opponents thought the ordinance was “either too loose or too restrictive” and gathered enough signatures to force a (ballot) referendum. “Rather than spending the money on a referendum, we rescinded the ordinance,” she said. In January, Filner announced the city would issue a revised ordinance allowing dispensaries in more pockets of San Diego than previously proposed — including Zone 4 of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance. LJCPA vice-chair Joe LaCava said he lived halfway between two marijuana dispensaries that were open in La Jolla in 2010-2011 and found one of them to be “as quiet and benign as possible,” and the other to be a

the proposed ordinance. These included, in part: n The ordinance should proceed through the usual review process, including all community planning groups and the community planners committee. n The ordinance should retain distance separations for churches, libraries and youth-oriented facilities suggested in the more restrictive ordinance proposed in 2011. n Increase the minimum distance between medical marijuana cooperatives (dispensaries) from 600 to 1,320 feet. n Medial marijuana consumer cooperatives shall not be located on a premises that includes residential use or is zoned for residential use (since there are areas where

Pat Sherman an industrial use is permitted between two houses). n Eliminate PDO Zone 4 in La Jolla as an allowable area for dispensaries to operate. n Prohibit medical marijuana vending machines. The LJCPA also approved a motion stating it is in agreement with federal law, which prohibits medical marijuana use, and opposed to current state law allowing it. If the zoning changes are approved, LaCava said the LJCPA should work to assure the state’s medical marijuana law is applied “in a way that it gets to the right people in a safe way, and that everybody else is protected from the unintended consequences.”
In other LJCPA news n Shores lifeguard tower: Lightner announced that lifeguards would be moving into the new tower at La Jolla Shores this month, and that the old tower will be demolished by Memorial Day (May 27). n Oversized vehicle ordinance: Trustee Phil Merten questioned whether a pilot oversized and recreational vehicle ordinance, to be conducted in La Jolla and adjoining coastal communities, would require a permit to park an oversized vehicle overnight.

German Motors & Imports: Repair specialists for more than 50 years By Marti Gacioch Specializing in repairing Germanmade vehicles, German Motors & Imports has been known for their expert servicing of both new and vintage cars since 1959. They service Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen and BMW models, but they also service customers’ Lexus and Volvos. Their five mechanics include co-owners Bernd Schwarzer and Richard Zins, Dave Gilbert (service manager), Michael Horner and Brenton Selb. “We’ve always worked on all the German cars from vintage to the most recent,” said office manager Brenda Hamett. “A lot of repair shops don’t work on the older model Mercedes because it takes longer to diagnose problems and you can’t hook them up to the computer, but we work on all of the early cars — from the 1950s on.” German Motors & Imports has the scanners needed to service the

recent German models. “For Mercedes Benz, we have the star scanner that goes through all of the control units and all of the systems and codes, and tells you what’s going on in each system,” Hamett said. “We also have scanners to do all the other models.”
German Motors mechanics continue to attend automotive training classes to stay current on all the new repair technology. Their new website (under construction) will offer customers webinars and keep them updated every six months, while providing them the
ability to book appointments online. First-time customers receive a 10 percent discount.

read with great interest “Jaywalking story draws readers’ comments,” in the March 20, issue of the La Jolla Light. Rand Hogan nailed the concept behind the crackdown on jaywalking, which is just another source of revenue for the City of San Diego. There is another great source of absurd revenue for the city that takes place on the street I live on every Friday and Monday morning between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. I believe I live on the safest street in La Jolla on the mornings of Phantom Street Sweeping. Police wait for the clock to strike 2 a.m., and then they make their way down the odd numbered side of my street ticketing all of the vehicles of owners who forgot it was Friday morning, and parked on the wrong side of the street. They return again on Monday morning at 2 a.m. for the vehicles parked on the even numbered side of the street. Walk down my street every Friday and Monday mornings after 6 a.m. and see all the
Painted crosswalk needed at post office Three weeks ago there was an article in La Jolla Light in regards to jaywalking. Since that article came out, every time I go to the post office (which has only been three times) I cross at the crosswalk. The only problem is there are no lines designating the crosswalk. I have now almost been hit two out of the three times, and if I didn’t move out of the way, I would have been hit. When I would jaywalk (nearly every time before this article) I never came close to being hit. Please paint a crosswalk and move the stop sign back about eight feet. Taylor Freeman La Jolla
Civic volunteers help make this a great town In March, I finished my three-year term as an elected trustee of the La Jolla Community Planning Association. The time flew by. Reflecting back, I have learned something about our town that is worth sharing. La Jolla is great because of its people. When visitors come, they see the natural beauty, the sun and the sand. And indeed, from Mount Soledad to Black’s beach, WindanSea to Children’s pool, La Jolla is certainly beautiful. But what the tourists cannot see, what is beneath the surface is the living, breathing soul of this place. It is the dedicated La Jollans, old and new, who are the key ingredients. During my time on the Community Planning Association, I have seen, listened to, and debated with so many residents who care deeply about the past, present, and future of La

OUR READERS WRITE Jolla. I was, and remain, inspired by the passionate volunteers and citizens who work hard to ensure that development happens sustainably, in a way that honors our community’s character. The people who safeguard our town’s spirit are those who understand and implement the philosophy that bigger is not always better and that just because something can be built does not mean it should be. Although La Jolla is not its own city (not yet), its people refuse to cede responsibility for its well being to downtown’s bureaucracy. How easy it would be to pass the buck to others, to view La Jolla as a mere neighborhood, and thus take comfort that the city government will handle our problems. But that is not what we do. We give our time freely to the issues that matter close to home. We meet, we argue, we listen. And above all, we make sure city officials hear our voices. Though sometimes the endeavor seems futile, the people of La Jolla are committed to the simple cause of bettering the community. To all those people who make La Jolla great — you know who you are — thank you. Thank you for the work you do and thank you for letting me serve our Village for the last three years alongside you. The pleasure was all mine. Devin Burstein La Jolla
Exclusionary housing exhibit good idea Congratulations to the La Jolla Historical Society’s executive director Heath Fox for amending the current exhibition on early La
Jolla homes to include, for the first time, information on once commonly-used discriminatory real estate covenants to prevent Jews and other minorities from buying property in this town. While this past shameful practice has been scuttlebutt for years, this is the first time it has been publicly acknowledged and incorporated into the town’s own official historical record. Good for us all to know the truth about our past. Good for us all to learn we have moved beyond such crude bias. Special thanks also to Town Council member Howard Singer for pointing Fox in the direction of academic source material for the section of the show called “Paradise Lost,” which describes the bad old days. This is a historic La Jolla moment and, as a resident here for 43 years, I celebrate it. Frances O’Neill Zimmerman LaJolla
La Jolla post office needs to go With all the talk of selling the post office, one glaring issue has not been mentioned: it is not being run like a business that wants to survive! The majority of the tellers are exceptionally slow, knowing their jobs are protected. It is a rare occasion when an additional window is opened to serve a growing line, even during the busy Christmas season. The postmaster refused to consider my suggestion of adding a “weigh & pay” machine like the one at the Pacific Beach location. I have personally removed stickers and graffiti from the signs,utility boxes and news racks that clutter the sidewalk on Wall Street.

www.lajollalight.com FROM OUR READERS WRITE, A18 When I informed the clerk that the trash can that was overflowing in front after picking up the litter on the sidewalk, he replied “that is not our can or responsibility”! While the community supports saving the site, the postal employees do not seem interested in running the location in a manner that shows they too want it to be saved. Chris Cott La Jolla
Consider tsunami radiation as cause for seal lion deaths Starvation? Possibly working its way up the food chain, but although ignored by mainstream media and the government (for obvious reasons) Fukushima continues to dump incredible amounts of highly
radiated “cooling water” into the ocean. If you take a moment to study the ocean currents, the Japan Kuroshio Current circles the upper Pacific, and runs down the U.S./ Canada/Mexico West Coast. Fukushima’s radiation IS here in our water, air, milk … everything. Just days after the meltdowns, radioiodine isotopes I-131 concentrations were measured in U.S. precipitation up to 211 times above normal. Highest levels of I-131 and airborne gross beta were documented in the five U.S. states on the Pacific Ocean. Thyroid problems in children have risen dramatically (28 percent on the West Coast) and the kelp is also storing the isotopes. Sea life, and human, will more and more begin to see the effects, and the young will always see the effects, first. Seal deaths are increasing; fur loss, bleeding sores, and damage to flippers. Sorry to rain on your parade, but most people (your government and the
LA JOLLA LIGHT - april 11, 2013 - Page A19
mainstream media) would like you to believe Fukushima “went away.” However, nothing could be further from the truth. But since, without equipment, radiation cannot be detected, it’s easy to shout that now familiar, one-phrase-covers-all “conspiracy theory!” Rand Hogen WindanSea
Seal rope serves pups well at Children’s Pool On the front page of the La JollaLight on March 21, an article about seals stated that seal pups could enter the water immediately after birth. About a decade ago, a group of us who were acting as docents for a wildlife group, were given the facts regarding seals. We learned newborn pups could not enter the water until the second day. This conflicts with what your front page stated. If the
pup is flushed (chased by humans) before it is ready, it will not survive. The protecting rope around the rookery becomes important in light of that information. Patricia Weber La Jolla
Glad to see Children’s Pool is closed at dusk To those who say we should not close the Children‘s Pool at dusk, my response is why shouldn’t we in order to offer the seals some protection? Families typically do not arrive at the beach at dusk and stay through the night, and for those who may be inclined to do so, there are many other beaches to frequent all along the La Jolla coast.

OBITUARIES
George Walton “Walt” Hall 1922 – 2013
Long-time La Jolla resident Walt Hall died peacefully in Portland, Oregon, on March 30, 2013. He was 91 years old. His children were near. Walt was born in Dayton, Ohio, on January 19, 1922. He is preceded in death by his wife, Ella McPike Keane “Pikey” Hall; his brother, John “Jack” Hall; and two daughters, Lucy Hall Dunn and Emily Patterson. He is survived by three children, Michael Hall and Teresa Keane of Portland and Georgene Hall of Denver. Walt was also the grandfather of nine and great-grandfather of seven. Walt belonged to the Greatest Generation and served bravely in WWII as an Amphibian Tank Unit Corporal in the US Marine Corps. He fought in the Pacific Theater, including the Battle of Iwo Jima. In the Mariana Islands, he took command of his unit when
the first and second officers were killed in battle. He was 22. Walt was awarded the Bronze Star for his valor. Walt grew up in La Jolla (LJHS ’39) and happily retired there with wife Pikey after a long career on the road in clothing sales and management, rising to National Sales Manager for Wrangler jeans. In retirement he found great joy in raising funds for La Jolla Parks and Recreation, helping restore aging sidewalks, stairways, hand railings, and playgrounds. His favorite project was the upkeep of the La Jolla Recreation Center. Walt was a member of the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla and the La Jolla Village Merchants Association. Walt was fond of saying that San Diego has the best weather in the country. He enjoyed gardening and kept beautiful roses. He often brought the day’s loveliest bloom in for Pikey. As illness cast its deepening shadow, Walt’s loyal heart remained true. Always a fighter, he spoke of one constant wish, to return home to La Jolla. Semper Fi is the Marine motto. Always faithful, Walt has come home. In August, Walt and Pikey’s ashes will be scattered over the Pacific at sunset by their family. Donations in his memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial (where Walt and Pikey have adjacent
plaques), or All Hallows Catholic Church, where the couple worshipped. Submitted by Georgene Hall, Walt’s Youngest. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.
Mary Ruth Odell Barton 1916 – 2013
As death must come for all, it came for Mary Ruth Odell Barton on March 30, 2013. Born in Peoria, Illinois, in 1916, she lived a full and gratifying life for 96 years. She lived in many countries and states with her final destination being La Jolla, CA, in a home that her parents bought in 1959. Until the last few years she divided her time between La Jolla and a home in Lutsen, MN. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of forty-four years, Roger Wesley Barton. Roger was a graduate of Harvard Law School and a Vice President of international business
for Stephens-Adamson of Aurora, Illinois, and BorgWarner of Ithaca, NY. It was through Roger’s work that Mary Ruth was able to travel and see so much of the world. Political action had been a hobby since her time in college. In 1960 she helped coordinate Nixon’s campaign in Kane County, Illinois. She was a history major who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1939. Mary Ruth spent much of her time engrossed in reading, writing and researching the genealogy of her family for over 60 years. Ever the student, she wrote three books encompassing the courtship of her parents, an unusual road in Minnesota where all the homes were founded by women, and a memoir of her own life. For years she could be found walking around Scripps Park in the early morning with Peggy Howell, co-founder of FOCAS, and several rescued dogs. She was an avid gardener and a collector of beautiful things. She leaves behind a legacy of elegance, talent and strong Christian faith. Mary Ruth is survived by her six children, Kittie Barton Frantz of Pasadena, CA, Ann Wade Barton of Evanston, IL, Mary Barton Nees of Johnson City, TN, Laura Barton Williams of Tustin, CA, Roger Westwood Barton of Alton, MN, and John Jay Barton of Ithaca, NY; thirteen grandchildren; and twenty-two greatgrandchildren.
A memorial service will be held on April 16, 2013, at 2 p.m. at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Her ashes will be interred at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at a time still to be determined. In lieu of flowers please send donations to FOCAS and Campus Crusade for Christ.

Trevor C. McMorris
1930 – 2013
Professor Emeritus Trevor C. McMorris, a resident of La Jolla, passed away Tuesday, February 19, 2013, following a long illness with Parkinson’s disease. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on March 23, 1930. His middle name, Calthorpe, was in homage to an English cricket star whose team was touring the West Indies. In 1953 McMorris was a member of the first
graduating class of the University of the West Indies. He received his Ph.D. from Imperial College, London, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Western Ontario, where he met his first wife, Helen. In 1960 he took a research position at the New York Botanical Garden. A member of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department faculty at UCSD since 1973, his research focused on the design and synthesis of analogs of natural substances, such as the antitumor agent illudin, derived from poisonous Jack O’Lantern mushrooms, and the plant hormone brassinolide. A less toxic analog of illudin, irofulven was developed as a possible cure for pancreatic cancer by MGI Pharma, which was bought in 2007 by Eisai Pharmaceuticals. Ironically, his first wife, Helen, had died in 1981 of pancreatic cancer. Retired since 2001, McMorris was known as one of the department’s best teachers. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Georgette; four step-sons; seven grandchildren; a sister; and two brothers. A memorial will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 19, 2013, in the Large Conference Room of Neural Circuits and Behavior (Building 805, formerly the Center for Molecular Genetics) at UCSD.

FROM OUR READERS WRITE, A19 sense to me. The seals are here, time moves forward. If Ms. Scripps was gracious enough to erect the sea wall and propose it as a place for the enjoyment of children (enjoyment being the operative word here), I’m quite sure (if she were alive today), she would re-consider the wording of her bequest. I believe she gave her gift for the enjoyment of all. The seals are undeniably enjoyed by many — children and adults alike. The seals are here, they rest on this beach, they give birth on this beach, they teach their pups how to survive on this beach, seal life begins on this beach. I respect opposing opinions, but I truly feel that nature has taken a course here, the result of which I believe would win Ms. Scripps’ approval. The result gives us the gift of watching the delight and excitement of wide-eyed children (and adults as well) inspecting, asking questions, and learning from the seal population. I feel this would truly make Ms. Scripps’ day, her month, and even her year. Mary Squazzo La Jolla

La Jolla Community Planning Association is using its cityapproved bylaws ... April Fools! The purpose of San Diego City Council Policy 600-24 (600-24) is to identify responsibilities and to establish minimum operating procedures governing the conduct of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) when it operates in its officially recognized capacity. It is the policy of the city council to require the LJCPA, as a condition of official recognition, to submit a copy of its “bylaws,” to the city for approval. The city approved and recognized bylaws of the LJCPA are dated LJCPA March 5, 2009. The LJCPA, in addition, however, is conducting the business of our community with its own set of “appeal procedures,” dated September 1, 2011. These “appeal procedures” have not been approved nor authorized by the City of San Diego. When these unauthorized “appeal procedures” were brought to the attention of the city, a letter dated October 10, 2011 was written to the LJCPA leadership instructing them to incorporate their “appeal procedures” into the city-approved bylaws and resubmit them to the city for review and approval. The leadership of our community group has made several attempts to integrate their unauthorized “appeal

www.lajollalight.com procedures” into their bylaws only to have them rejected by our city attorney. Their attempts to assimilate the unauthorized “appeal procedures” into their bylaws has only exacerbated the problem for LJCPA trustees, project applicants and our community. The confusion is which set of “appeal procedures” is the LJCPA now using when filing an appeal? Are they using the unauthorized “appeal procedures” addressed in the city’s letter, or are they using the unapproved proposed “appeal procedures” they have submitted to the city for review and approval? One only has to visit the LJCPA website to question the credibility and transparency of our community group. Their March 1, 2012 proposed bylaw changes are correctly described as, “not effective until approved by the City of San Diego,” while their March 7, 2013 proposed bylaw changes are erroneously described as; “signed-off by City of San Diego,” when in fact the city attorney has not yet reviewed or commented on these revised “appeal procedures.” Recent appeals filed by the LJCPA president, however, indicate our community group, while operating in its officially city recognized capacity, will for sure continue to use either its unauthorized or unapproved “appeal procedures” and ignore Council Policy 600-24 which states; “proposed bylaw revisions may not be used until the city has approved the amended bylaws and notified the LJCPA of the effective date of the amendments.” Mr. Crisafi and Mr. LaCava, on what date did the city attorney notify the LJCPA that they had “signed-off” on the March 7, 2013 proposed bylaw amendments? Futhermore, what is the effective date, issued by the city, for the above mentioned amendments? Bob Whitney La Jolla

Ship honors Walter Munk with ‘library’ From SIO reports
Already recognized as the “world’s greatest living oceanographer,” Walter Munk of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is adding a new accolade to his lengthy list of lifetime achievements and recognitions. But while his name has been bestowed upon everything from buildings to ocean science awards, the new honor will take his name to locations around the world’s seas. The Japanese deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu recently renamed its science room the “Walter Munk Library” in honor of the 95-year-old scientist, known around the world for groundbreaking investigations of wave propagation, tides, currents, circulation and other aspects of the ocean and Earth. “We hope that this will help inspire young scientists and researchers aboard to follow in (Munk’s) pioneering footsteps,” said Wataru Azuma, director of Center for Deep Earth Exploration at the Japan Agency for MarineEarth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), the organization that operates Chikyu. Launched in 2002, the 688-foot-long Chikyu features a marine riser and other designs first used by the offshore oil and gas industry to drill deeply on behalf of

La Jolla baseball falls to Cathedral Catholic in non-conference clash By Michael Ragovin The Cathedral Catholic Dons defeated La Jolla High Vikings, 4-0 at the Dons’ field on Thursday, April 4. The Vikings kept it close throughout the game, though they left too many men on base and squandered several scoring opportunities. Considering that Cathedral Catholic is the No. 1 high school baseball team in the country, the Vikings made a game of it. The game began with the Vikings up to bat and Tyson Youngs grounding out to shortstop. Tim Holdgrafer drew a walk and waited at first. A passed ball with Brett Volger up allowed Holdgrafer to reach second. Volger then hit a deep fly to center. Daniel Farkas drew another walk and with runners on first and second and two outs, Holdgrafer got picked off at second. Lefty Patrick Dayton was on the mound for La Jolla and took down the first three batters he faced, including a fly ball to right, a strikeout and another fly
ball to right. At the end of the first, there was no score. The top half of the second started with Brett Schuman flying out to left, Dylan Walsh grounding out to second and Alex Eliopulos attempting to steal second after a walk. In the bottom half of the second Cathedral got the first hit of the game in a single to center. After that, the Dons went quietly on a fly ball to center, a short fly to right and a strikeout. Still no score at the end of two innings. Matt Needham started the top of the third with a ground ball single to right. Ronan Young attempted a sacrifice bunt but popped up to the catcher. Youngs singled down the third base line and it looked like the Vikings had something going with one out and runners on first and second. Unfortunately the Vikings could not make it home after Holdgrafer flew out to right and Volger went down on a fielder’s choice. The bottom half of the

An error allowed a runner to take third, putting runners on first and third with no outs. The next batter shot to right, driving in the runner from third with runners still on first and third with no one out. This was followed by 4-6-3 double play, when a second baseman throws to the shortstop covering second
and gets the runner out, who throws to first baseman and gets the runner out. The runner was able to score from third. The inning ended on a fly ball to left for the third out. The Dons scored two runs on three hits and one error by La Jolla. At the end of the third Cathedral led 2-0. In the top of the fourth the Vikings went down in order.

center ended their half of the fourth. Cathedral’s half began with a pop up to the pitcher. The next batter singled between third and short. The runner then stole second. A double to right center scored the runner and left a runner on base. The inning ended with a fly ball to center. After four innings of play Cathedral led 3-0. Noah Strohl reached first on an error to start the fifth.
Needham sacrificed him to second. Young went out on a fly ball to right. Youngs singled to left and then with runners on first and third the runner on first stole second with two outs. Holdgrager striking out ended the Vikings threat and once again no runs were scored. The second Cathedral batter in the inning beat out a grounder and then stole second and third. A single to left scored the runner on third to make it 4-0 Cathedral. The inning ended with a strikeout. The Vikings had two chances left to get something done, however, they could not manage to get anyone on base and the game ended with Cathedral winning 4-0. The Dons scored four runs on 11 hits only two of those runs were earned. Unfortunately, the Vikings could not get a timely hit in the midst of scoring opportunities, leaving multiple runners on base. They could manage only two hits. Not bad against the number one team in country.

Rotarian couple to complete 1,000-mile pilgrimage By Ashley Mackin journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step, literally, for La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary members Bonnie and Krishna Arora. The couple will complete a 1,000-mile pilgrimage in Europe, known as the Camino de Santiago, in the coming weeks. Having broken up the pilgrimage over the last eight years, they will depart for France where they will finish the final 175 miles on April 17. They will walk approximately 15 miles per day for about two weeks. “We start walking on April 20 … We get very emotional because we’ve been doing this piece by piece for 10 years and it’s kind of putting closure to our walk,” Bonnie Arora said. In addition to completing a longtime goal, this final trek also serves as a fundraiser for the Golden Triangle Rotary Club. The complete Camino de Santiago spans from Le Puy en Velay in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, with stops in between. The Aroras walked the longest leg, from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela (both in Spain) three times. The first time, they were part of a group that walked 124 miles of it and drove the rest, Bonnie Arora said. “We

Actually, to be accurate, the French contingent were more yearning to breathe rich. Already a well-regarded textile expert in France, my great-grandfather was recruited to come to the U.S. Northeast in 1901 to manage a woolen mill which he ultimately ended up owning; numerous expansions later, the mill became the largest tax payer

in the state. Great-gramps was also an avid photographer, not exactly a common or easy hobby in an era when Photomats were in short supply. It was strictly a doit-yourself operation. Unlike the firing-squad poses popular in the day, his photos are particularly delightful candids of the family (and dogs) in their daily activities — romping around the lawn, digging out of the Snowstorm of Aught One, celebrating birthdays, and proudly posing with their new Chalmers Motor Car. You really get a sense from these pictures that you know these people — a wonderful gift for their descendants. Besides his wife and young son, great-gramps had also brought over his much younger (and frankly better looking) brother, Eugene, who up until 1906 had been in a preponderance of the photos but mysteriously disappears that year never to be seen again. My father never knew why, only that there had been a huge falling out between the two brothers, so much so that the descendants of great-
gramps and Eugene never interacted again. In fact, a half century later, Dad happened to find himself at a Philadelphia hotel with a fellow business traveler who had the family’s highly unusual name. Knocking on this man’s door, he was met with a face eerily similar to his own — and a huge deep freeze. Eugene, I noted in the photos, obviously enjoyed a congenial relationship with great-grandma; the two are usually laughing, even touching. Photos of greatgrandpa and great-grandma not so much. Studying the pictures more closely a few years ago, I had a eureka moment, sure I had solved this 100-year-old family feud: Eugene was getting it on with great-grandma, and great-grandpa found out. (I should have been a romance writer.) Fortuitously, in 2009, I came into ownership of dozens more of my greatgrandfather’s photos that had languished in an elderly relative’s basement for more than half a century.

Amaya La Jolla’s main dining room is opulent with classic charm.
Ornate Amaya lets you dine like the chairman of the board By Kelley Carlson he newly opened Amaya La Jolla is carrying on the traditions of its sister restaurant in “Grand” style. Located just a few blocks from the ocean, the 10,000square-foot restaurant is very similar to its counterpart in The Grand Del Mar: same look, same service and same quality, Executive Chef Camron Woods noted. “It’s a fine-dining experience without pretentiousness,” he said. Inspired by Italy’s palazzos and Roman architecture, designer Warren Sheets created an ornate dining space utilizing polished Italian marble; hand-carved stone accents; wrought-iron and crystal chandeliers hanging from elaborate ceilings; walls that display fine art featuring idyllic scenes; and shades of ochre, aubergine and gold throughout the rooms. The main entrance has tall and elegant iron gates; the indoor veranda incorporates skylights, a heated floor, and windows that open onto the outdoor patio. Amaya La Jolla presents a contemporary American menu that is similar to the original Amaya, with a bit of an added Southern touch, and items can be customized as needed. To fully get a taste of Amaya, “be adventurous,” Woods recommended. “If you’re on the fence, try it.” The main dinner menu — offered from 5 to 10 p.m. daily, with nothing over $40 — features appetizers such as Buttermilk Fried Quail with smoked mac and cheese and cole slaw, Seared Day Boat Scallops, Angus Beef Carpaccio, and Sautéed Skate Wing and Veal Sweetbreads. Among the entrees are

nT his week’s recipe: Amaya’s Spicy Chile-Lime Shrimp Crispy Branzini with confit fennel, tomatoes and Niçoise olives and tangerine sauce; Seared Sea Bass with celery five ways and roasted chicken jus; and Braised Veal Osso Buco Cannelloni with Beech mushroom ragout. For a bit more casual cuisine, Woods prepares Daily Rustic Southern Specials — a reflection of his heritage. “You can have fine dining or the antithesis of it,” he said with a chuckle. These comfort foods include fried chicken, gumbo, shrimp & grits, BBQ baby-back ribs, lightly breaded market fish, smoked pulled pork and mini meatloaf. They’re served with sides of cheddar-herb biscuits, jalapeño cornbread and deviled eggs, for $24. The children’s menu is also informal,
with selections such as burgers, grilled fish, chicken, pizza and barbecue sandwiches. And there’s no shortage of wines to pair with the dishes, with more than 300 labels all under $100. Instead of coming in at prime time, he suggests arriving for a leisurely dinner around 5-5:30 p.m., and then heading into Amaya’s nightclub/sports bar/tapas bar, Club M, at the back of the establishment. Beginning at 7 p.m., there’s live music — ranging in styles from American Songbook and jazz to contemporary, rock and Top 40 — and the lounge is usually in full swing from 8-9:30 p.m., according to Woods. While the dinner menu is reserved for the dining room, patrons are still able to order

light fare such as chicken quesadilla, hummus, Angus burger and spicy tuna roll. Club M is open until 11:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and until 12:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Regardless of where people sit, they will be made to feel at ease, Woods indicated. “As ornate as Amaya is, you feel like you’re at home,” he said. “We want you to come in and feel comfortable.”

Scouts buy new flags for Bird Rock school
T
wo Girl Scout Daisy troops at Bird Rock Elementary raised money through Girl Scout cookie sales to buy a new State of California flag and a new American flag for their school. Daisy Troop 4186 (kindergartners) and Daisy Troop 3869 (first-graders) presented the flags during the morning assembly on March 27. Girls from both troops said they learned many things throughout the cookie-selling season, including how to make decisions, set goals, manage money, work with people and help worthy causes. There was a great need for new flags, so the Daisy troops were very excited to help out their school. — April Mosebrook

FROM ROTARIANS, B1 in 2007. Praying for his safety, they said upon their son’s return, they would go to Santiago de Compostela to give thanks in person. “So in 2008 we went back and we walked the last 100 miles to visit in person and give our thanks,” he said. In 2011, they walked the 165 miles from le Puy en Velay to Figeac. In 2012, they walked from Figeac to Condom, all regions in France. The final piece completes the 1,000-mile journey from Condom to Roncesvalles. Now retired, Krishna Arora said they agreed to attempt this pilgrimage during their working years. With Krishna being of the Hindu faith and Bonnie being Catholic, they decided to complete pilgrimages that reflect those two faiths. During their Hindu pilgrimage in 2004, they walked the four corners of India. The Camino is their Catholic pilgrimage. “You will come with a thousand and one reasons not to go but if it is meant to be, you will go,” Krishna Arora said. “I feel very strongly about it. Something keeps attracting us to the Camino. It takes the first few days to get into the rhythm, but once you are in rhythm there is no force in the world that will stop you from walking.” He added that the walk has been a spiritual adventure that helped mold them into who they are today. A big part of that, and an unexpected side effect of this walk, is their desire to be of service, “so that’s why it ended up becoming a fundraiser to support our rotary,” Bonnie Arora said. Krishna Arora added, “We are totally dedicated to doing charity work that has more or less become our full time job.” Some of their service work includes helping to build a

After walking through India, they now help 50 children in the slum areas of India improve their education and learn English. Now, the donations collected in honor of the pilgrimage will go to Rotary service programs. As for what’s next for the couple, neither seem to be sure. Bonnie Arora said with each trip, a new idea for a service project or something new comes to mind and takes their life in a new direction.
Krishna Arora said he couldn’t be sure because their lives have changed so much and that he doesn’t know how their lives will change again. “Even at this age, our lives continue to evolve so we really don’t know how life is going to evolve over the next 10-15 years,” he said. “It has evolved to this and it still continues to evolve, and we really don’t know what lies ahead. The journey so far has been excellent; it has been very rewarding and deeply satisfying to our souls.”

FROM Inga, B1 family, most were stunning photos great-gramps had taken documenting the mill and the mill workers themselves. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Deciding that these truly historical pictures deserved a wider audience, I was able to find an appropriate historical website which was thrilled to post them, and even contacted the local paper in the town where the mill had been located to see if current residents there might still be able to identify anyone — managers or mill workers — in the photos more than 100 years later. The paper wrote a story, posted sample photos and a link to the website, and included my e-mail address. I ended up hearing from plenty of people, none of whom, alas, could identify any ancestors in the photos, but chief among my new correspondents were descendants of the long-vanished Eugene. And oui, they knew about the long-ago feud, and just to be clear, they hadn’t forgotten. Oy. Several sources informed me that in that era, the mill owners and managers were all French but all (and I mean all) the mill workers were French Canadians. And the two classes
Holocaust survivor honored
absolutely never mixed, socially or by marriage. But Eugene, following his heart, scandalized everyone by marrying a French Canadian mill worker, prompting great-gramps to permanently disown him. It would have been, as one correspondent presciently pointed out in 2009 (pre-Downton Abbey) “like having your daughter marry the chauffeur — completely unacceptable.” When Eugene’s wife died of childbirth complications after their second child, he allegedly asked great-gramps for “help” (financial? babysitting? unclear) and got a resounding no. So to really stick it to his brother and local society, Eugene then married the dead wife’s sister (also a miller worker) and had three more children. It did not improve relations. So I think the mystery is solved, at long last, at least from our end. (Sounds like other side never thought it was a mystery at all.) My romantic’s heart would prefer to be associated with Eugene’s saga instead of greatgrandpa’s but things were what they were in the early 1900s. But could we, like, get over it? (For the record, I’m STILL suspicious about Eugene and great-gram.)
La Jollan Fanny Krasner Lebovits was selected by Majority Leader Toni Atkins to be honored by the California State Assembly in observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 8. The assembly observes the annual event with a floor reception featuring a Holocaust survivor, liberator, or child of a survivor from each Assembly district. Lebovits lost 32 family members during the Holocaust and nearly died of typhus. She was just age 7 when her father was told to gather with others in a Latvian town square. She never saw him again. Within six months, the population of her village went from 10,000 to 800. When the Germans transported the remaining villagers to Riga, they divided them into two groups and Lebovits and her sister were separated from their mother and baby sister. She and her sister were transported by the Nazis from

concentration camp to concentration camp, finally putting them aboard a barge to take them to Gotland in the Baltic Sea near Sweden. That is when she, and others aboard, contracted typhus. Barred from docking, the boat floated at sea for nine days and was attacked by a Russian airplane. While the barge burned, Lebovits dragged her sister Fanny Krasner across wooden planks to another Lebovits boat that happened by and rescued survivors. Even after being rescued, Lebovits’ misery continued as she battled typhus for weeks. Today, she shares her story with students because “it is absolutely critical to remember the horrors of the past in order to protect the future.”

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1
Although I try not to get too focused on material possessions, I’d have to say it is my house here in La Jolla. Its renovation was a labor of love for me and my husband, and now it holds so many memories for me because it is where I spend time with my close friends and family.
Marshall, Bill Gates, and my son. The first seven people were all trailblazers and were, in their own ways, agents of social and/or political change. I’d love to learn how they accomplished what they did. Oh, and I’d love to hear how they explain this to a 6year-old.
What do you do for fun? Cook, entertain … oh, and yoga; by the way, Four Seasons Yoga is an amazing studio!
What are you reading? I am reading “Plenty,” by Yotam Ottolenghi. It’s actually a vegetarian cookbook. The recipes and commentaries are delightful, and I’m not even a vegetarian!
What is your motto of life? I’m still working on one.
What is it that you most dislike? Hypocrisy. Although I realize that by saying that I may be guilty of it myself. What is your most-prized possession?
What would be your dream vacation? Anywhere warm and sunny with everything crossed off of my to-do list; no unanswered e-mails, all the papers and grants written, summer camp signups done ... Everybody’s gotta have a dream, right? Hmm … maybe that’s my motto …

‘A Growing Passion’ host to answer gardening questions in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin Nan Sterman, host of the upcoming KPBS gardening show, “A Growing Passion,” will set up shop at the La Jolla UTC Farmers Market 3-7 p.m. Thursday, April 11 at 9001 Genesee Ave. to discuss the show, the planting process, answer questions and give away seedlings, while supplies last. Set to air May 2, “A Growing Passion” has one focus “to explore all the ways that San Diego grows” Sterman said, “From farms and nurseries to backyards, schoolyards and native habitats, you name it.” Episodes feature San Diego growers of flowers and edible plants, as well as sustainable gardening, container gardening and recycling gardening materials. In one episode, Sterman tours a wholesale flower market in Carlsbad, then features international floral designer René van Rems instructing how to arrange flowers people can grow in their backyard. In this episode, “we basically traced flowers from growing to sale to making the arrangements,” Sterman said. Her best tip for new gardeners: start small. “A lot of people say ‘I’m going to plant a huge garden’ and they don’t have any experience. It’s impossible to be successful your first time out; it’s just not realistic. They get really ambitious and when they fail in small ways or big ways, they are so discouraged they don’t back up and say ‘OK wait a second, what did I do wrong?’” she said. “Gardening is all trial and error so if you fail, you just have to figure out what went wrong and start again. The best thing to do is
Nan Sterman, a gardener and host of the upcoming KPBS show ‘A Growing Passion,’ will make an appearance 3-7 p.m. April 11 at the La Jolla UTC Farmers Market. Courtesy start small, start at a scale you can manage as a first-timer, build some success and do a little more the next year. Then you’ve got your big garden.” She said people are getting excited about planting summer vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, but the soil is still too cold, so she suggests waiting a few more months. Sterman is a lifelong gardener and San Diego resident. She is a gardening writer and lecturer, and runs a sustainable landscaping company. Learn more at plantsoup.com

The first speaker will be Corinne Bagnol, who was born in Marseille, France, and is a true “Provencale” at heart. Her presentation will focus on French culture and how it is perceived in America, and she will also explore fun facts surrounding one of the most recognizable symbols of the French-American friendship: the Statue of Liberty. Bagnol earned her master’s degree in France where she lived until she moved to Ann Arbor to work with her husband at the University of Michigan. After relocating to San Diego, she became a volunteer at her children’s schools, a local hospital and finally the Alliance Française de San Diego, where she is now cultural director. The San Diego Chapter is part of the Alliance Française network with the mission to promote French language and culture through classes, events and lectures. The second speaker will be journalist Martha Shaw discussing, “Coverage of world news at the United Nations.” Shaw will share her views about covering the planning sessions, side events and conferences leading up the Rio+20 Earth Summit and beyond. Shaw is a correspondent on oceans, climate and other environmental topics, who got her start in La Jolla at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. After leaving Scripps, she went on to work for Walter Cronkite’s “Universe” series. Shaw has won many communications accolades including the Los Angeles Times’ Belding Awards, New York One Show, Best of Broadcast New England, and the San Diego Communicating Arts San Diego Award for Best of Show.

tephen Sondheim definitely marches to his own beat, and he proves that in Cygnet Theatre’s production of “Assassins.” Paying any kind of homage to those who have killed — or tried to kill — presidents of the United States, actually seems to work in this innovative farce. With such notorious characters as John Wilkes Booth (Braxton Molinaro), Lee Harvey Oswald (Jacob Caltrider), John Hinckley, Jr. (Kurt Norby), Sara Jane Moore (Melinda Gilb), Jason Maddy (Leon Czolgosz), Jaycob Hunter (Guiseppe Zangara), Geno Carr (Charles Guiteau), Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme
■ Website: cygnettheatre.com
The lively cast of Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Assassins’ at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town. (Melissa Fernandes), and Manny Fernandes (Samuel Byck), it’s no surprise this show has filled many prominent stages since its inception in 1990. As we learn through song, some of these killers acted quickly and on their own, but Sondheim has chosen to mock this idea, like when Oswald has to be told, blow by blow, how to shoot
Kennedy. Caltrider offers up a shy and not-so-evil Oswald, until John Wilkes Booth gives him instructions. Booth, as most know, was responsible for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Molinaro is excellent in bringing this assassin to life. He’s merciless and finds glee in helping fill the Wanted posters with other presidential assassins.

Then there are the two female assassins. Gilb, a resident artist at Cygnet, is always spot-on in her portrayals. She plays Moore (who attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford) for laughs with the attitude of a mother at a picnic who left the chicken at home. She’s hilarious, especially when she practices shooting into a bucket of KFC.
A Charles Mason follower, Fromme also attempted to assassinate Ford. Fernandes is a little more rigid in her portrayal, almost bringing chills through her naiveté about her actions. Sean Murray has not missed a single beat in his direction, layering the nine stories in “Assassins,” and staying true to the book by John Weidman. The set

design by Ryan Grossheim works well, always keeping a somber theme. David Brannen’s choreography is superb, and music director Patrick Marion keeps every song true to the book. One of my favorites, “Everybody’s Got the Right to Dream,” features the foreshadowing lyric, “so pick your apple and take a bite.” Along with the musical fun, Sondheim has given this show a thought-provoking tone, giving one pause to consider dreams, America, and where our country is at today.

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

North Coast Rep’s ‘Odd Couple’ revival plays for laughter By Diana Saenger With more than 30 plays and almost the same number of movie scripts to his credit (most adapted from his plays) Neil Simon is one of America’s most prolific writers. He’s received more Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer. His comedy “The Odd Couple,” which earned Simon a Tony Award in 1965, is on stage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre through May 4. Taking on a show this iconic is a brave move said Louis Lotorto, a native of Seattle who portrays the neurotic, neat-freak news writer Felix, who moves in with his sloppy sportswriter friend Oscar. “It’s interesting that ‘The Odd Couple’ is getting a revival, as Neil Simon’s plays are rarely done in community theaters,” Lotorto said. “But David (Ellenstein, artistic director at NCRT) knows his show business. We met in Portland years ago and I was very excited to get a call (from him) to play Felix.” Lotorto said he was exposed to “The Odd Couple” as a child when his father, a community theater actor, had the role of Felix. “I went to many of the rehearsals, so I know the character well, but stepping into an iconic role is always a challenge,” Lotorto said. “You have to divorce yourself from the other actors who played those roles and carve out your own way. To try to play Jack Lemon would be a disservice to the audience. And that’s tricky, as a lot of people may expect something similar to what they’re used to, and may be resistant to a different interpretation. You have to make it your own and also work with the other person on stage.” Lotorto said he’s is excited to work again with Andrew Barnicle, who is directing “The Odd Couple.” “We have a great cast,” Lotorto said. “Matt Thompson (Oscar) and I have a simpatico that I felt
Felix (Louis Lotorto) and Oscar (Matt Thompson) stand their ground in ‘The Odd Couple.’ Ken Jacques
If you go ■ What: ‘The Odd Couple’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings to May 4 ■ Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach ■ Tickets: $37-$54 ■P hone: (858) 481-1055 ■ Website: northcoastrep.org from the first day.” Lotorto added that a chance to work in a Simon play is an actor’s joy. “The best material out there is Shakespeare and Neil is the Shakespeare of the 20th century, in terms of writing and text. He’s an amazing craftsman who is
able to blend very funny dialogue with real pathos, real situations and real topics. Behind the humor lies real pain, which I think comes from his own life. “Neil also deals with middle America, as does ‘The Odd Couple.’ It has a quick character identity with a lot of exposition, but it’s so well crafted, you don’t know it’s exposition. Before anyone speaks at the poker table, you know instantly the pecking order of these four poker players, due to the great character development by Neil.” Lotorto promised, “There will be raucous laughter in this play … (real) belly laughs. In our production, and what Andy is good about, is (conveying) the real humanity underneath the humor, which audience members won’t shrug off an hour after the play ends. Maybe they will look at their relationship with a spouse or friend because the play also speaks to tolerance, acceptance, and working through the struggles of love in all aspects.”

FROM DOCUMENTARY, B1 that will drive you into losing hope, but I’m never giving up.” Watch him nail a double flip in his wheelchair — not the first time, or the second, but he keeps trying till he does it. “The first obstacle is your mind,” he said. “When life gives you limits, push ‘em!” Two of the Holocaust survivors in the film are La Jolla residents: Edith Eger and Fanny Krasner Lebovits. Dr. Eger, a prominent psychologist who was born in Hungary, had childhood dreams of becoming an Olympic athlete. Instead, when the Nazis took over, she was sent to Auschwitz; her parents were killed, and she barely survived. But she chose not to see herself as a victim, and in her work, she helps others triumph over adversity. “You have a choice — pay attention to what you lost, or pay attention to what you still have,” Dr. Eger said. “No matter how much you’ve suffered, inner freedom and self-renewal are within your reach.” Korean scientist/professor Sang-Mook Lee would agree. Six months after an accident left him a quadriplegic, he went back to work, in a wheelchair he controls with his head. “I think of my accident as being a change in direction,” he says. “I don’t see myself as an unfortunate person. I’ve always considered myself lucky, because I’ve been able to do what I set out to do.” Dedicated to making “documentaries that make a difference,” filmmaker Schutz said “Seeds of Resiliency” was originally inspired by Mike Stevens, who owned a photo store in La Jolla. “My husband and I were his best customers, and then I found out he’d sold the shop because he had Stage IV lung cancer. I contacted him by e-mail, and he was off on safari in Africa, doing something he’d always wanted to do. What he said was: ‘I don’t think you really know how strong you are until a tragedy hits you, and then you have to find out for yourself. Either you live life, or you curl up in a ball.’” That started Schutz thinking: Would she curl up in a ball? How do other people manage

La Jollans help host 40th San Diego Crew Classic on Mission Bay
C
ollegiate rowing teams came together April 5-7 for one of the biggest regattas on the West Coast — the San Diego Crew Classic. The waters on Mission Bay served as the playing field for some 155 events, which culminated in trophy presentations Sunday afternoon, and the 20th Classic Brunch by the Bay, chaired this year by Jane Fetter of La Jolla and a committee of 21 volunteers. The men’s open varsity race is for the Copley Cup, named for the family who has been instrumental in sustaining the regatta since 1973. This year’s Copley Cup was won by the UC Berkeley Rowing Team and was presented by Liz Copley in memory of David Copley. The women’s varsity race is for the Jessop-Whittier Cup, won this year by the USC women’s rowing team. It was presented in memory of Patty Wyatt and Jowe Jessup, Sr., co-founders of the SDCC, by members of their families.

Get all your duck eggs in a row —they’re delicious!
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
A
die-hard eggovore, I never met one I didn’t love. Scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, poached, Rocky Mountain toast, frittatas, omelets and deviled. Of course, we’re talking about chicken eggs, right? But the latest egg on the celebrity chef’s radar, and dubbed by Bon Appétit magazine as one of the 25 hottest trends this year is the duck egg. That’s no yolk. Here’s an egg primer so you can choose between the hen house and the duck farm. Quack, quack!
The Mighty Ducks Eggs Duck eggs trump their hen counterparts in nutritional value, in part as they are better endowed, particularly in terms of the yolk volume. The large, thick white surrounding the rich golden orb together contain one-third more calcium than chick’s eggs, five times the amount of stress-relieving B vitamins, three times as much iron, twice the amount of Vitamin A and folate, along with more protein, selenium, and potassium. Down Side of Duck Perhaps too much of a good thing, along with the large stand-up yolk comes a higher lipid or fat content than chicken eggs. So for the cholesterol-conscious duck eggs aren’t the best choice. And since ducks aren’t as
Duck Eggs in Cocotte The Marine Room’s Executive Chef Bernard Guillas graciously shares his beloved grandma’s favorite duck egg recipe. ■ Serves 6 ■ Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup diced pancetta 1 cup chopped leeks, white part only 1/2 cup sliced shallots 1/2 cup finely diced celery root
■ Method: Step 1: Add olive oil to large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta, leeks, shallots and celery root. Cook 3 minutes stirring often. Add mushrooms and thyme. Cook 2 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
2 cups sliced local King oyster mushrooms Step 2: Place one tablespoon of crème fraîche at the bottom of each 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves mini cocotte or ovenproof 8-ounce 6 duck eggs ramekin. Equally divide the vegetable 3/4 cup crème fraîche mixture in to each cocotte. Top with remaining crème fraîche. Carefully 1 tablespoon minced chives crack 1 duck egg in a small bowl 1/4 cup grated Mimolette cheese without breaking the yolk. Transfer to (or aged Parmesan) cocotte atop of vegetables. Season 1 toasted French baguette with salt and pepper. fruitful as chicks with seasonal laying habits (depending on the breed, many lay in the spring until early summer), this translates to a significantly higher cost. The Shell Game Duck egg shells won’t win a beauty contest, as they tend to be mottled, some with beige, pale blue or greenish tinges (also depending on the breed). But duck eggs will win the strong shell contest, thick and sturdy, they require a heftier hand to break. For this reason, they also have a longer shelf life than chick’s
eggs, and can be kept up to six weeks in the fridge.
Cook’s tip: Use one duck egg for two chicken eggs.
Let’s Get Cracking Duck eggs have a rich, distinct flavor and texture, and require a little extra cooking time due to the largesse of the yolk. Ideal for baking, they yield fluffy and moist short cakes, breads and muffins, flakey, buttery pastries, and luxurious mousses, soufflés and crème brulees. Whip up a puffy prima vera frittata, goat cheese and spinach scramble, and seafood salads garnished with hard boiled or poached duck eggs.

Step 3: Fill roasting pan with 1-1/2 inches of water. Water should go half way up the side of the mini cocotte. Bring water to simmer. Place each cocotte into pan. Cook 10-15 minutes or until egg whites are opaque. Remove cocottes from roasting pan. Garnish with chopped chives and Mimolette. Serve with baguette.

Albumin Alert While hen’s eggs are nature’s almost perfect package, they represent the most common food allergy in children, snagging roughly 2.5 percent. This allergy to either the white, yolk or both is usually outgrown by age 5, but can be a nasty one. A friend of mine has a son who is so allergic to albumin (the protein in egg whites), that he developed
an asthmatic reaction when he merely stepped foot into the kitchen as she was whisking egg whites for a lemon meringue pie. While duck eggs contain different proportions of amino acids, they tend to be a less offensive food allergen. Many people with hen egg allergies or sensitivities have been found to tolerate (and enjoy) duck eggs beautifully. (Standing advice: If you have a chicken egg allergy, check with your doctor before eating duck eggs).

On May 10, 2013 at 09:00 AM, Auction.com Room at Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, 1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 3, 2005 as Instrument No. 20050094825 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by JULIO LOPEZ AND LINDSAY HALLETT, as Trustor(s), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 8362 VIA SONOMA #D, LA JOLLA, CA 92037 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $199,079.83 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other
than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt The San Diego Art Prize, funded by San Diego Visual Arts Network, is an annual award given to two established artists, who in turn, choose an emerging artist for the award. Selected works of the 2012 winners, established artists Jeffery Laudenslager and Arline Fisch and emerging artists Deanne Sabeck and Vincent Robles, are now on view through May 4 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. The Art Prize committee, including Patricia Frischer of SDVAN, Ann Berchtold of Art San Diego, art collector Debra Poteet and Executive Director of the Athenaeum, Erika Torri, chose the winners from a list of nominees presented by visual arts professionals and former Art Prize recipients. At the opening reception April 5, a crowd gathered to admire the distinctive styles of the prize-winning artists. Jeffery Laudenslager, best known for his elegant, largescale, kinetic sculptures, also showed an eyecatching

Live Here. Give Here.
FROM Art Prize, B28 Deanne Sabeck’s glass sculptures charmed viewers with light and color, while Vincent Robles, a grad student in SDSU’s Furniture Department, offered cool, tongue-in-cheek riffs on furniture forms. And Arline Fisch not only attracted attention with a pair of crocheted silver breastplates and a row of saint-and-angel pendants, but also wore one of her dramatic chain necklaces to complete her display of wearable art. Toward the end of the reception, Patricia Frischer stepped up to congratulate the prizewinners and announce the new recipients for 2013: established artists James Hubbell and Debby and Larry Kline, who will choose their own emerging artists later this year.
Arline Fisch shows and models her wearable art.
La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Jewelry designer Alexandra Hart and her husband Mark Wheeler, chair of the Philosophy Department at SDSU.
Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis.
